XXX TENTACION Murder : Drake Files Motion Attempting To Quash His Deposition Interview

Drake is attempting to avoid being called as a witness in the XXXTENTACION murder trial and is taking legal action to do so. The rapper requested the judge dismiss the subpoena compelling him to appear for a private deposition in late February in a move submitted through his lawyer Bradford Cohen.

As we previously mentioned, defense lawyer Mauricio Padilla convinced the judge to call Drake as a witness in the case. Dedrick Williams, one of three defendants accused of killing XXX, is represented by Padilla. The three men’s murder trial got underway last week.

The documents obtained by Sources state that Padilla sent Drake a ZOOM link for the deposition without encrypting it, which would have jeopardized Drake’s security, considering that he is a well-known international figure.

A few days later, according to the documents, Padilla allegedly sent a notice to the court without providing specifics of the format of the Drake ZOOM interview. Drake claims that, as a result, the subpoena was procedurally flawed.

According to the motion, Drake also asserts that his name never appeared in the files used for the investigation and that there is no evidence that he has any relevant knowledge of the case. He also claims that asking him to take a deposition is unreasonable and is only intended to “add more layers of celebrity and notoriety to a tragic and unfortunate event.”

Drake’s motion has not yet received a final decision from the judge.
