The long-running legal warfare surrounding rapper DaBaby’s infamous 2022 bowling alley brawl has officially come to an end.
On Thursday, June 4, 2026, court documents revealed that the parties settled the civil lawsuit stemming from the chaotic physical altercation at Corbin Bowl in Los Angeles.
The legal filing states that the entire matter will be formally dismissed within 45 days, closing a turbulent chapter for the rapper.
The legal drama started over four years ago following a massive, viral melee between DaBaby, his entourage, and Brandon Curiel, the brother of DaBaby's ex-girlfriend, singer DaniLeigh, who performs under the name Brandon Bill$.
The fight broke out on February 10, 2022, after Curiel reportedly approached DaBaby to confront him about the way he treated DaniLeigh during their highly publicized breakup.
Viral security and phone footage from that night showed DaBaby throwing the first punch, which triggered his crew to jump into the fray.
The group cornered Curiel on the slippery bowling lanes, leaving him bloodied and bruised.
Curiel quickly filed a massive lawsuit against DaBaby and the bowling alley itself, seeking millions in damages for severe physical injuries, psychological trauma, and mounting medical bills.
While the footage seemed to paint a clear picture online, the actual court battle dragged out into a messy, years-long saga.
DaBaby consistently maintained that he acted entirely in self-defense. He publicly called the legal action a blatant "money grab" and joked in interviews that he would easily beat the case.
The case took a major detour when a judge dismissed the initial claims due to complications with serving the official legal papers to the busy rapper.
However, the legal teams continued to battle behind the scenes, resolving the lingering disputes with the newly filed notice of settlement.
While the exact financial details and terms of the agreement remain strictly confidential, the upcoming dismissal ensures that neither party will have to face a messy, drawn-out public trial.
