Lil Xan Ordered to Pay $27K for Pulling Gun During Argument Over 2Pac Comments

Lil Xan has been ordered to pay more than $27,000 for pulling a gun during an argument with a man back in June 2019 outside a 7-Eleven in Los Angeles.

Billboard viewed court documents surrounding Wednesday’s (Oct. 23) ruling ordering Xan — born Nicholas Diego Lanos — to fork over $27,823.89 in damages among other costs to the complaint’s filer, Anthony Sanchez.

Sanchez originally filed a complaint seeking assault and battery damages along with claims of intentional infliction of emotional distress. Judge Steven A. Ellis awarded Sanchez in excess of the five-figure sum with a default judgment, meaning its possible Xan didn’t respond to the suit altogether.

Lil Xan and Sanchez were engaged in a heated debate in a 7-Eleven parking lot after Sanchez approached Xan and appeared to taunt the “Betrayed” rapper about his criticism of 2Pac in 2018.

“What the f— you want, bruh? Get the f— out,” Xan can be heard spewing on footage of the 2019 altercation obtained by TMZ. Xan also can be seen brandishing a weapon while on the passenger side of his Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon. “Look at my car,” he jibed at Sanchez.

Per the lawsuit, Sanchez allegedly feared for his life when having the gun pointed in his direction. He claimed that Xan drove off and threw a cup he was drinking out at him and some of the contents got on his shirt, causing him emotional distress.

Sanchez believes he didn’t pose any threat to Lil Xan and added that he incurred medical expenses and lost out on potential earnings following the exchange.

The moment that instigated the argument came when Lil Xan was being interviewed by Revolt in 2018 and was giving “clout ratings” to various stars. He dished out a lowly 2 out of 10 for 2Pac and claimed he made “boring music.”

Xan’s Pac criticism drew plenty of backlash. The rapper told AllHipHop last year that he regretted bashing 2Pac and admitted he wished the interview never went up since he “wasn’t in a good place.”

“That interview should’ve never even been aired ‘cause I wasn’t in a good place during the interview,” he said. “I was angry at that time. And all that came down to was a result of me just trying to get the interview done quicker. I was like, ‘Next question. Next question.’ And then they just give me questions and I’m messing around.”

Xan continued: “I think 2Pac is a legend. I don’t have to explain myself to anybody, but I grew up on a lot of old school West Coast, a lot of old school East Coast. But after that, that was just a little mishap. It was the result of me not being as mature as I am today. Inexperienced with interviews a lot, too.”

On the music side, Lil Xan returned to release his Diego album independently via his Xanarchy Militia Music label on Sept. 20.
