Woman sues Drake and Future for $25m in alleged rape case

Rappers Drake and Future have been sued for $25 million by a woman who was allegedly raped at one of their concerts last year 

According to a lawsuit filed last week at the federal court, the woman (identified only as Jane Doe) claims she attended the Drake/Future concert on August 14, 2016, at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.
She states in the lawsuit that during the concert, she was approached by “a man associated with Bridgestone Arena” who offered to take her backstage to meet both Drake and Future.
However, according to her lawsuit, he 'suddenly pushed Jane Doe to the ground and violently assaulted her, shattering her cell phone and causing severe physical and psychological injury.'
According to The Tennessean, the man who is being identified as Leavy Johnson, 38, was indicted on a rape charge in January and is currently awaiting trial in Nashville.
The woman is demanding $25m for damages from the rappers for their negligence.
