Man Moves to Enforce $1.2M Judgment After Quavo Slap Ruling
Antonio Lamar Henry asks a Fulton County court to enforce a $1.2M Nevada judgment against Quavo after a 2018 slap and a 2024 jury verdict.
The road to collecting nearly $1.2 million just got longer and more procedural. Antonio Lamar Henry has taken steps in Georgia to enforce a Nevada judgment against Quavo, setting up an interstate legal tussle that traces back to a 2018 encounter outside the Encore in Las Vegas.
What happened and what’s next
Court papers obtained by XXL show Henry filed paperwork on May 22 in the Superior Court of Fulton County (Georgia) asking the state to recognize and enforce a monetary judgment against Quavo, born Quavious Marshall. The filing follows a September 2024 jury verdict in Las Vegas that ordered the Migos rapper to pay Henry $682,000 in compensatory and punitive damages after Henry said he suffered physical and emotional injury when Quavo slapped him while Henry was working as a valet at the Encore Hotel & Casino in 2018.
The Nevada court finalized that judgment on March 21, 2025, and Henry’s recent filings say Quavo and his co-defendants, Romondo Arkell Brooks and Lance Lavar Limerick, share joint liability for the award. Henry is therefore asking the Georgia court to give the Nevada ruling force under the state’s Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act.
“Quavo has denied any wrongdoing in the case. The Atlanta rapper’s attorney accused Henry of looking at Huncho as a \”hip-hop lotto ticket\” and providing no evidence that he was injured by the slap.”
The numbers Henry is pressing for are precise. He lists $509,468.78 in compensatory damages and $150,000.00 in punitive damages, plus $169,443.56 in pre-judgment interest. On top of that, his filing seeks $274,164.50 in attorneys’ fees and $95,695.84 in court-related expenses, for a total of $1,198,772.68.
As things stand, the Georgia filing is a recognition play: if the state court enforces the Nevada judgment, Henry can pursue collection in Georgia. The filings also tie the liability to Quavo and the two co-defendants named in the original Las Vegas proceedings.
XXL has reached out to Quavo’s representative and Antonio Henry’s attorney for comment.
