French Montana Fails to Scrap $402K Judgment Over ‘Vicious’ Dog Attack

A judge found that French Montana failed to show he previously settled with the man who claims he was attacked by the rapper's dog.

The ruling came after the “Unforgettable” rapper failed to convince the court that he didn’t know about the man’s underlying lawsuit until it was too late, meaning after landscaper Jason Leyva had been granted a $402,644 default judgment last October. The musician, whose real name is Karim Kharbouch, said in filings leading up to the order that his delinquency in responding to Leyva’s claims should be forgiven because he moved out California, where the incident happened, so he was never served in person. In a sworn statement, Leyva previously told the court that the mauling took place on Nov. 3, 2019, shortly after Kharbouch invited him into a gated yard and assured him the Tibetan mountain dog wouldn’t harm him.
