According to TMZ, Dave East's charge has been dismissed completely. The rapper presented the court medical documents that revealed he actually suffered a concussion. East's lawyer, Stacey Richman, made it clear the rapper wasn't the one who started the fight but rather "attempted to responsibly quell the situation." "I always treat women with nothing but respect," he said after the charges were dropped.

After the charges were dropped, Dave East took to Instagram to share the good news. He made it clear to the naysayers that he would never screw up a threeway, let alone have a concussion in the middle of one.
