Drakeo the Ruler’s brother Ralfy the Plug has filed a lawsuit against Live Nation—the organizer of the Once Upon a Time in LA music festival where Drakeo was fatally stabbed in a backstage altercation last December, TMZ and Rolling Stone report.

Ralfy’s lawsuit follows a $60 million wrongful death lawsuit filed on behalf of Drakeo’s 5-year-old son. Like that one, Ralfy’s lawsuit outlines the scene of Drakeo’s murder, points out the alleged lack of security that led to that moment, and notes the 30-minute delay that it took emergency personnel to transport a wounded Drakeo to the hospital. He’s seeking millions in damages.

In a statement shared with Pitchfork, Once Upon a Time in LA Fest said: “Once Upon a Time in LA joins Drakeo’s family, friends, and fans in grieving his loss. The festival is continuing to support local authorities in their investigation as they pursue the facts.”

Pitchfork has reached out to representatives for Ralfy the Plug and Live Nation for comment.
