We thought it was over, but it appears the legal drama is just getting started between ‘Started from the Bottom’ star Drake and his former fling, Laquana Morris.
Morris, a famed Instagram model, alleged the Grammy-winning rapper sexually assaulted her in summer 2017 – a move that prompted her to retain legal counsel by the top of the next year. While no criminal proceedings occurred against Drizzy due to ‘lack of sufficient evidence,’ negotiations between the star’s legal team and that of Morris’ eventually led to a $350,000 settlement.
The problem? Laquana’s now filing a grievance against her own attorney with the New York Attorney Grievance Committee. Details inside:
According to our friends at The Blast, Laquana may have signed a “gag order” that prohibited her from “making any statements alleging or insinuating that [Drake] assaulted her, making any statements alleging or insinuating that Graham got her pregnant and then. abandoned her, and/or making any statements at all that are defamatory or disparaging of [him],” but that certainly didn’t stop her from disparaging her legal representative, Alex Cabereiras.
In her complaint, Morris disapproves of the way the public statement was handled and questions her own attorney for not looking out for her best interests:
“Alex informed me that (Drake’s attorney) suggested a joint statement will be put out just stating that me and Drake privately took care of everything. I was in a vulnerable state and clearly under a lot of distress due to trying to kill myself and agreed of course if my name will be cleared and that I would receive all my paperwork,” the document states.
She continues, “That wasn’t the case I was lied to by my own lawyer Alex Cabeceiras things towards the ending near me and Drake finalizing everything.”
Morris believed she had been duped both by Drake’s team and her own attorney, and alleges, “Things drastically changed and all of the sudden he (her lawyer) refused to give me my paperwork meaning my settlement agreement. I asked him was this legal and he said yes. I have him on audio assuring me that with high profile celebrities this is normal. This should of never happened I trusted him. I’m requesting that he turn over my settlement agreement and asking for help. I called and emailed him and He has giving me the run around.”
Detailing specifics about the case with Drake may place Morris in breach of her agreement which, in turn, could leave her vulnerable to have to forfeit it. She claims the stress of the incident and “mishandling of her case” has led her to suicide attempts and consequent pursuit of mental health treatment.
Girl bye. If a n|gga assaulted u then file criminal charges with the police. Don’t be hiring shyster lawyers for a quick money grab and then whine about it cause u did not read the contract gave the lawyer 70 percent plus legal fees. Dumb ho.
File criminal charges girl if he really assaulted u.
TROLLmine
Why are u so thirsty Jermaine?

U slay Rasputin? U sound dumb. I am not Rasputin. The only one getting slayed is u. Many queens have come for me on here over the years yet I remain. I am like the Charles Barkley of TGJ. I always got a different opinion and I don’t give a f.uck if u don’t like my opinions. Haters come and go but I remain. Time for u to get lost too!

Did u read the article sis? She tried that already but they didn’t stick because of lack of evidence
Drake is suing this woman who claimed he sexually assaulted her and got her pregnant.
According to People.com, the “In My Feelings” rapper filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Laquana Morris, who works in the adult industry under the name Layla Lace. Drake’s seeking damages for civil extortion, intentional infliction of emotional distress, abuse of process, fraud, and defamation.
According to Drake’s lawsuit, he and Morris had consensual, protected s** after a concert in Manchester, England in February 2017. Later, Morris claimed in a radio interview that Drake impregnated her. He claims that in May 2017, she hired a lawyer who demanded money from him for her alleged baby. The Canadian rapper requested a paternity test but Morris allegedly refused to cooperate.
Morris also filed criminal charges against Drake, claiming that she assaulted her in Manchester and forced her to perform oral s** against her will.
“There is no credible evidence of pregnancy, nor any baby, which would have been born last fall,” Drake’s lawyer writes in the court documents. The lawsuit also claims that Drake was cleared of the criminal charges, after which Morris “demanded payment of millions of dollars in exchange for her silence.”
“Drake is refusing to allow Layla to get away with her malicious plot and scheme to extort millions of dollars from him by threatening to go public with salacious (and ever-changing) false allegations of conduct that simply did not happen,” the lawsuit says. “Layla and her attorneys underestimated Drake’s steadfast resolve not to pay hush money to avoid negative publicity arising from fabricated claims. He looks forward to holding Layla and those working in concert with her responsible for her egregious misconduct.”
