A legal battle involving Quavo has reached a new milestone, as a claimant moves closer to securing a $1.2 million judgment against the Atlanta rapper. The case stems from an altercation that occurred in 2018 at the Encore Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, where the plaintiff, Antonio Lamar Henry, was working as a valet.
According to court documents obtained by XXL, Henry filed paperwork on May 22 in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, seeking to enforce a monetary judgment against the rapper, born Quavious Marshall. This filing follows a September 2024 decision by a Las Vegas jury, which ordered Quavo to pay Henry $682,000 in compensatory and punitive damages for emotional and physical injuries sustained during the incident.
Legal Enforcement and Financial Breakdown
Throughout the proceedings, Quavo has consistently denied any wrongdoing. His legal team previously argued that Henry failed to provide evidence of physical injury and characterized the lawsuit as an attempt to treat the artist like a “hip-hop lotto ticket.” Despite these defenses, the Nevada court finalized the judgment on March 21, 2025, establishing joint liability for Quavo and his co-defendants, Romondo Arkell Brooks and Lance Lavar Limerick.
Henry is now utilizing the Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act to have the Nevada ruling recognized in Georgia. The requested total of $1,198,772.68 is comprised of several components:
- $509,468.78 in compensatory damages
- $150,000.00 in punitive damages
- $169,443.56 in pre-judgment interest
- $274,164.50 in legal fees
- $95,695.84 in court-related expenses
As of now, representatives for both Quavo and Antonio Henry have been contacted for comment regarding the latest developments in the enforcement process.
