Brumfield served as counsel for the rapper on a battery and assault charge from January. The plaintiff, Justin Poplawski, was allegedly confronted West. Outside of the Soho Warehouse social club in downtown Los Angeles in January 2022. The singer allegedly spotted Poplawski on the sidewalk near the club and declared he would make an example of him before striking him.
