Canadian rapper Drake has filed a lawsuit against a woman who made false pregnancy and rape claim to extort money from him.
According to a TMZ, the said woman alleged that Drake got her pregnant in 2017 after planning a false baby scan. In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Drake stated that he met Layla Lace last year during his Boy Meets World Tour in Manchester, England. He says after one of his concerts in February 2017, they hooked up at his hotel where they had consensual sex and Layla also voluntarily and happily performed oral sex.
In 2017, Layla hired a lawyer and demanded money for her alleged baby and threatened the singer with defamation. Layla refused to take a paternity test and Layla and her lawyer went radio silent.
