This "lawsuit" will never get a court date.

Mr. Duncan is a by-the-book independent contractor.

A first year law student could get this frivolous shyt thrown out.

https://www.labor.ny.gov/ui/dande/ic.shtm

Independent contractors are free from:
  • Supervision
  • Direction and
  • Control in the performance of their duties.
They are in business for themselves, offering their services to the general public.

Signs of independent contractor status include a person who:

  • Has an established business
  • Advertises in the electronic and/or print media
  • Buys an ad in the Yellow Pages
  • Uses business cards, stationery and billheads
  • Carries insurance
  • Keeps a place of business and invests in facilities, equipment, and supplies
  • Pays their own expenses
  • Assumes risk for profit or loss
  • Sets their own schedule
  • Sets or negotiates their own pay rate
  • Offers services to other businesses (competitive or non-competitive)
  • Is free to refuse work offers
  • May choose to hire help

Smarten up ARP.

:smugdraper:
Basically. This would get thrown out as soon as they know Verb returned the money.

Disgusting...Smack once had a clown battler threaten "on his flag" if his battle never dropped it would be problems...battlers have punched people on his stage, choked whole rounds away, some never turned up and he NEVER threatened to sue them publically...

The whole “RBE got Verb the Mook battle” angle is stupid because no one wanted to book Mook for his price in the first place and despite Verb winning that battle, it has little to no replay value because it’s such a chore to watch. If Verb got cooked by Mook, no one would have wanted to a Lux battle and ARP was publically trying to get the Lux battle done.

If ARP was able to secure that battle, this doesn’t happen. That’s ultimately the bottom line of this all.

ARP should of handled the situation better, but I still fill he is more right than Verb. RBE basically boosted his career when people was shytting on him.
I don't agree with the "rbe helped verb" or anyone else sentiment at all.

Rbe is literally only a league who signs guys URL built up and trying to put on supercards using battle rappers URL built up. The rappers are doing a much bigger favor for rbe than the other way around.

This move by rbe wasn't about right or wrong. Matches get canceled/rescheduled etc. Literally always happen, this was about rbe trying to compete with URL and it blew up in his face and instead of just admitting that is what it's about, he wants to sell the contract like it's non negotiable as if he has never changed up.

When verb sent the money back he should have just went and found iron another opponent.

Can anybody give me cliff notes on this whole situation?

ARP drops trailer for Verb/Iron for Feb card

Verb makes cryptic tweets about it. ARP ask him who the tweets were for. Verb goes on a 30 tweet rant saying the battle isn't happening, he already told ARP he's not doing it before the Lux battle, he sent his deposit back and offered to do it for half the price at a later date for the inconvenience but ARP declined. He said ARP needs to apologize and admit he was wrong. Also Yung Ill and Hitman chimed in both taking Verb's side.

ARP responded saying Iron and Verb was scheduled before the Lux battle, what happened is Verb got Lux, and tried to not do the battle but ARP is saying we have a contract so you're doing the battle. ARP said since him and Verb had no communication, he dropped the trailer for the battle

They both went back and forth for a few hours, ended with Verb saying he's going to break ARP's jaw when he sees him, ARP saying no he's not and ARP saying he's gonna sue Verb for breach of contract.
