Lil Uzi Vert is once again being sued over an alleged assault in New York City, this time through a fresh lawsuit filed in Pennsylvania. Abdullah Ali, the man behind the claims, is taking another shot at holding the rapper accountable after a previous case filed in New York was dismissed earlier this year.
The alleged altercation dates back to 2023, when Ali says he came across a Rolls-Royce in a trailer marked with Floyd Mayweather’s Money Team branding. According to the new lawsuit, Ali began taking photos of the vehicle, which allegedly led to a confrontation with several individuals he claims are connected to Uzi. Things reportedly escalated quickly, with Ali stating he was physically attacked—punched, kicked, and left with injuries that included a damaged shoulder and missing teeth.
Although Lil Uzi Vert was previously named in the original New York suit, he was later dismissed from the case. At the time, his team firmly denied he had any role in the incident. Now, with the case being refiled in Philadelphia, Uzi is once again being dragged into the legal battle.
In a statement to Complex, Uzi’s attorney Joanna Menillo stood by her client’s innocence. “This case has been frivolous from the outset with absolutely no evidence of any involvement by Uzi or Uzivert [Uzi’s company] in this alleged assault,” she said. “The Court in New York rightly dismissed this case and we expect the Court in Pennsylvania will do the same.”
Floyd Mayweather, who was also named in the original complaint, has not issued a public response to the updated filing. As of now, the rapper’s team appears confident that the Pennsylvania court will throw out the case just as New York did.
