West Coast rapper Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa are reportedly going to have to call up the best lawyers money can buy. Nearly 20 concert victims have hired attorneys to sue the hip-hop duo.
According to reports, 17 people have sought out legal muscle against Wiz/Snoop and a New Jersey concert venue where they suffered injuries.
The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in a Philadelphia court, doesn’t specify what damages are being sought. But attorney Robert J. Mongeluzzi said his clients want to prevent future incidents and deserve monetary compensation. The plaintiffs include 14 concertgoers and three workers, including one who suffered a fractured spine, attorneys say. (AP)
Earlier this month, Snoop and Wiz fans fell through a New Jersey concert’s railing.
Authorities say at least 10 people have been hurt after a railing collapsed during an outdoor concert by Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa in southern New Jersey. A partition separating concertgoers from the stage at the BB&T Pavilion in Camden collapsed, causing people to fall onto the concrete below. It happened shortly before 10:30 p.m. Friday. (CBC)

They ain’t getting nothing. 9x outta 10 they’re getting juxed by their lawyers and have to pay up to them after losing the lawsuit. You sue the venue or whoever was in charge not the people tht was paid to perform. Tht don’t even make sense and at the same time yall leaned on tht rail
