Rapper Drake has reportedly scored a legal victory in his assault lawsuit.

Music producer Detail, real name Noel Fisher, launched legal action against the Hotline Bling star in June 2016, claiming Drake set him up by inviting him to his Calabasas, California property, only to have a security official, named Chubbs, allegedly attack him.

The beatmaker claimed his jaw was broken in the reported bust up and required multiple surgeries, while he suggested the incident was revenge for Fisher turning down an earlier offer to executive produce Drake’s music, which would have tied him in to an exclusive deal.

He demanded unspecified damages, including funds to cover his medical bills. However, Drake fired back at Fisher, insisting he had nothing to do with the altercation and his bodyguard acted in self-defence.

The lawsuit was reportedly scheduled to move forward later this month, but according to reports, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elaine Lu dismissed the case on Friday after Detail did not show up for a status conference.

Earlier this month, reports suggested Detail also failed to show up to a deposition in February.
