Yo, what's good, fam? Imagine getting
0:02
shot at a Super Bowl afterparty, then
0:05
being sued for it. Yeah, we're talking
0:07
Kodak Black catching bullets, literally.
0:10
Then legal heat for $10.6 million.
0:12
Buckle up because this tea is about to
0:14
get scalding. Picture this. It's the
0:18
2023 Super Bowl afterparty. Crowds,
0:20
confetti, celebs, and bullets.
0:24
Reportedly, Kodak Black was caught in
0:26
the chaos. shot alongside two men, Mark
0:28
Schaefer and Adam Raman, who now claim
0:31
he's to blame for the shooting. Yeah,
0:33
they want Kodak to pay up for getting
0:35
shot himself. Talk about adding insult
0:38
to injury. These two plaintiffs are
0:40
pointing fingers mid crisis, claiming
0:42
Kodak somehow responsible. It's like
0:44
getting hit by a tidal wave and blaming
0:47
the person who was also swimming when it
0:48
hit. Then instead of popping off a
0:51
response, Kodak stays ghost and they
0:55
jump to seek a $10.6 million default
0:57
judgment because when the defendant
1:00
disappears, lawsuits become like air
1:02
ballooning fast. Here's a replayw worthy
1:06
breakdown. Event scene. Kodak and the
1:09
two men are all shot at the same place.
1:12
Same time. So why is he the scapegoat?
1:15
Plaintiffs play. They filed the suit and
1:17
are dangling this massive judgment.
1:20
Legal drama. Default judgment means you
1:24
didn't show up, so we win. But Kodak's
1:26
lawyer fired back hard, saying he was uh
1:30
never even served, never had notice. How
1:33
do you default someone who doesn't know
1:35
there's a case? Why this matters? Irony
1:38
alert. The supposed victim, Kodak, is
1:41
now the accused. Legal tension. It
1:44
highlights how critical proper service
1:46
is and how lawsuits can snowball when
1:49
that chain snaps. Dramatic contrast.
1:53
You've got bullets in his body and
1:54
lawsuits in the air. It's like surviving
1:56
a storm then getting charged rent for
1:59
the damage. The attorneys for Mark
2:02
Schaefer and Adam Raman, the two men
2:04
caught in the Super Bowl afterparty
2:06
shooting along with Kodak Black, have
2:08
now pointed their legal guns straight at
2:11
Kodak himself, insisting he's the one to
2:14
blame for the chaos. They've not only
2:17
brought a lawsuit, but they're also
2:19
gunning for a whopping $10.6 million
2:23
default judgment, painting Kodak as the
2:25
prime suspect in their trauma. It's like
2:29
being in a baseball game, getting beaned
2:31
by a wild pitch, and then accusing the
2:33
batter of planning it. Wild, right?
2:37
Why, it hits hard.
2:40
David versus Goliath vibe. Two
2:43
individuals who were also shot are now
2:46
framing the lawsuit in a way that Kodak
2:48
is the central villain despite being
2:50
reeling from his own injury. Default
2:53
judgment drama. They're leveraging the
2:56
slow motion disappearance of a defendant
2:58
to snag a win by default. That's legal
3:01
maneuvering, not street justice. It's
3:04
like stealing the finish line when the
3:06
other runner hasn't even realized the
3:07
race began. Playing the media game by
3:11
demanding this staggering sum and tying
3:13
it to a high-profile figure like Kodak.
3:16
They're ensuring the story goes viral.
3:18
It's the lawsuit equivalent of dropping
3:20
a diss track with a beat so catchy it
3:22
can't be ignored.
3:25
What this adds to the saga,
3:28
layered conflict. This isn't just about
3:31
who pulled the trigger. Now it's about
3:34
who gets to tell the story. Are Schaefer
3:37
and Ramman the victims or are they
3:39
trying to capitalize on Kodak's
3:41
vulnerability?
3:43
Legal flexibility versus justice.
3:46
Default judgments are powerful,
3:48
especially if notification goes sideways
3:51
and the defendant never shows. Kodak's
3:54
lawyer claims he wasn't even served.
3:57
That's not defensive posturing. That's
3:59
fundamental fairness under fire.
4:02
Narrative tension. You've got a rapper
4:04
shot at a party being accused of
4:06
inciting the same violence. It's a twist
4:09
that rewrites the headlines and keeps
4:11
everyone talking. On August 6th, 2025,
4:15
Judge Tiana J. Mario pulled the plug on
4:18
the trial date set for August 18th,
4:20
giving Kodak a lifeline.
4:23
Clock's ticking, but the plot is
4:24
thickening. Ready for Kodak's lawyer to
4:26
drop some fire? Bradford Cohen, Kodak's
4:30
attorney, fired back to Rolling Stone.
4:33
Kodak has never been served with any
4:35
lawsuit from California. He was never on
4:38
notice. Translation: Kodak's lawyer is
4:41
basically saying, "Y'all sued the wrong
4:43
bullet catcher, and he doubled down,"
4:45
Cohen added, per TMZ. "We are not paying
4:49
them a thing. It's us who are the
4:51
victims of illegal assault. Now we're
4:53
talking legal rap battle. Strap in. Next
4:56
bar is in on some video receipts. Turns
4:58
out there's video footage showing Kodak
5:01
running towards the chaos to help people
5:03
getting beaten up when the shots rang
5:04
out. Plot twist alert. He didn't start
5:08
it. He ran into the fire. But there's
5:10
another key drop to consider. Kodak got
5:13
shot. So suing him for starting it.
5:15
Lawyer says it makes zero sense. All
5:17
right. We got legal logic, video
5:19
receipts. But wait, he ain't just
5:21
dodging lawsuits. He's wrapping keys.
5:25
Just days before all this chaos, Kodak
5:28
received the second key to North Miami
5:30
this summer. Talk about glow up meets
5:32
courtroom heat. From city honors to
5:36
legal honors, that contrasts juicier
5:38
than your grandma's gossip over Sunday
5:40
dinner. Fresh off the ceremony, Kodak
5:43
hopped on X, formerly Twitter, to show
5:46
love. I appreciate the acknowledgement
5:49
and love,
5:51
gratitude. In the streets, fire in the
5:54
court, but uh what's next for this saga?
5:56
The judge has now set a new deadline,
5:58
August 25th, for the plaintiffs to file
6:01
an updated request for default judgment.
6:04
Mark your calendars, August 25th. That
6:07
date is heating up more than a rap beef
6:09
in ' 06.
6:11
So, here's where we're at. Kodak
6:14
got shot. Now, he's dodging a $10.6 $6
6:16
million lawsuit, flexing keys, and
6:19
firing barbs through his lawyer. Will
6:21
the plaintiffs get their default
6:23
judgment, or will Kodak clap back? Only
6:26
time and the legal team will tell. If
