The artist formerly known as Kanye West could face a lawsuit from the family of George Floyd for spreading the incorrect and unproven narrative that he died of a drug overdose during his wildly controversial Drink Champs podcast appearance.

Civil rights attorney Lee Merritt posted on Twitter Sunday that a lawsuit against Ye is under consideration based on the disgraced artist’s “false statements about the manner of his death.”

Of course George Floyd dies from a fentanyl overdose. Discovery should be interesting.

Hey “family”, take your ghetto lottery winnings and spare us the faux outrage. He was a pos drug addicted criminal thug.

That’s not libel - just an opinion and not at all lawsuit worthy.

If anything Floyd’s family should be sued by all those who lost loved ones and businesses in the summer of love in HIS name.

Is this new ground? What a jury finds is now incontrovertible truth? As I recall, Floyd had 11 ng/ml of fentanyl in his blood, which was well over the limit of 3 or 4 ng/ml that is, let’s say, “problematic” in other people. But if a jury finds that the officer actually killed him, then it’s now an actionable statement to claim a drug overdose?

They saw the Sandy Hook judgement and figured they’d cash in as well. Anything to scam a buck.

Discovery should be interesting.

This line gets old here. How do you figure it will be interesting when there's already an official verdict on a defendant whose attorney tried using the same claim in a criminal case (where the standards are higher)?

Is the family going to try to deny that 1) George Floyd was a drug addict? 2) that he was under the influence of drugs on the day of his death? 3) that fentanyl — a drug that suppresses normal respiration — was not found in his blood stream?

They’d need a judge to refuse any evidence but the official coroners report.

Essentially it is 3 times the fatal dose of Fentanyl. He couldn't breathe because Fentanyl paralyzes the muscles in the lungs.

What’s weird is that someone could have drugs in their system and still be murdered.

What’s up with that?
