Attorneys for a woman who alleges the late rapper Takeoff raped her in 2020, two years before his death, say in new court papers that a Georgia judge has named the singer's mother as the administrator of her son's estate, setting the stage for her and the estate to be possibly substituted as defendants in the woman's lawsuit.
The plaintiff is identified only as Jane Doe in the Los Angeles Superior Court complaint alleging Takeoff, whose real name was Kirshnik Khari Ball, sexually assaulted her during a party in an Encino home on June 23, 2020. The 28-year-old Takeoff, part of the Atlanta song trio Migos, was shot to death Nov. 1, 2022, at a Houston bowling alley.

The woman's lawyers filed court papers Wednesday with Van Nuys Superior Court Judge Huey P. Cotton stating that Takeoff's mother, Titiana Patrice Davenport, had been named the administrator of Takeoff's estate by a Fulton County probate court judge on Dec. 27. A hearing on the plaintiff's substitution motion is scheduled before Cotton on July 11.
Last June, Davenport filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the owners of 810 Billiards & Bowling Houston, the venue where her son was shot and killed. In January 2023, Cotton put a stay on Doe's case until the probate proceedings are over.
According to Doe's lawsuit, Takeoff made several advances the night of the alleged sexual assault that Doe rejected. She later went to a bedroom to lie down, but despite her making it clear to the performer that she was not interested, he followed her into the bedroom and "forced himself on her and engaged in sexual intercourse," the suit brought in August 2020 alleges.
