Rapper Snoop Dogg appeared in court yesterday to contest a civil lawsuit from a man who alleges that he was beaten up by the rapper and his entourage.
Richard Monroe, Jr. is seeking £15 million in damages from the rapper Snoop Dogg after an incident during a concert at the White River Amphitheatre in Washington, back in 2005.
Monroe Jr. says Snoop hit him with a microphone after he jumped on stage and put his hand on the shoulder. He then goes on to say Snoop’s entourage took him backstage and assaulted him.
“I was getting punched, kicked, kicked, punched. It was brutal. I was really in shock. I couldn’t believe it.”
However Snoop’s lawyers have hit out at Monroe’s claims, insisting their client acted in self-defence and thought he was being attacked when Monroe jumped on stage.
The rapper is expected to testify during the trial.
