The trial surrounding the men accused of murdering XXXTENTACION began this month. However, a defense attorney for one of the defendants has desperately tried to get a deposition out of Drake. The feud between the two rappers became a main force in the defense's argument during the beginning stages of the trial. The defense, Mauricio Padilla, argued that the Canadian rapper had a hand in the Broward County rapper’s death. His attorney has fought the motion, leading to a back-and-forth in court. And while Padilla feels as though this is helping his client’s case, most feel as though it’s an outrageous strategy.
Most recently, reports emerged of Drake’s security guards blocking a subpoena. Padilla filed a motion detailing the encounter with his armed guards on Valentine’s Day at his California residence. “After having the gate shut in his face, the process server posted the subpoena, only to have one of Mr. Graham’s security staff literally kick the subpoena down the lone driveway… Security is heard saying that ‘no one is being served here,” the motion read. “Apparently, Drake’s staff believe that physically kicking the subpoena is a legally sound way of refusing service.”

In the transcripts obtained by Cathy Russon of Law & Crime Network, the security shut down the process servers attempt to hand over the subpoena. “We are not obligated to do anything or accept any, please get off of property,” the security told the server, who then asked him for his name. After refusing to identify himself, the server stated that its only for a “virtual deposition.” “It is not even like a lawsuit bro,” the server said.
Eventually, the two servers said that were going to “drop it." However, security said they couldn't accept legal paperwork. “I am not authorized to accept anything,” the security added. At that point, process server #2 pushed security further to accept the documents. “Aubrey AKA Drake, you are being served,” the process server said before the second one added, “By the way, I like Drake.
