DaBaby has officially brought a close to a four-year legal saga stemming from a February 2022 altercation at a Los Angeles bowling alley. The incident, which involved Brandon Curiel—the brother of the rapper’s ex-partner, DaniLeigh—had been a source of ongoing courtroom tension for years.
According to court documents filed last week, the parties have finalized a settlement agreement. The case is now moving toward a formal dismissal, which is expected to be completed within the next 45 days. This resolution marks a significant turning point in a dispute that began when the rapper and Curiel crossed paths at Corbin Bowl.
The conflict was deeply rooted in the volatile history between DaBaby and DaniLeigh. Following their public and often contentious breakup in early 2022, tensions between the rapper and Curiel escalated, with Curiel publicly criticizing the artist prior to their encounter at the bowling alley. When the two eventually met at the venue, the situation deteriorated rapidly.
Brandon Curiel alleged that the rapper approached him with the intent to initiate a physical confrontation, claiming that DaBaby struck the first blow. Conversely, the rapper’s legal team maintained that Curiel was the primary aggressor. The subsequent lawsuit, which named both the artist and the bowling alley as defendants, cited physical injuries sustained during the melee.
With the settlement now in place, the litigation is set to be fully resolved by mid-July 2026. This conclusion offers a rare moment of closure for a situation that has defined a significant portion of the rapper’s legal challenges over the past several years.
