FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Defense lawyers are still trying to pull rapper Drake into the trial of the three men accused of murdering rising hip hop star XXXTentacion, filing a legal notice in court saying they’ve scheduled an out-of-court interview for late February.
It’s not clear yet whether anyone has told Drake.
During opening arguments in the murder case last week, defense lawyer Mauricio Padilla revealed that the victim, Jahseh Onfroy, once put a warning out on social media that if anything were to happen to him, Drake would be the culprit. That was well before Onfroy, who performed as XXXTentacion, was shot to death in a robbery outside Riva Motorsports in Deerfield Beach in 2018.
