Spectacular Smith is being sued for assault, battery and sexual assault. TMZ broke the news about the Pretty Ricky star on Sunday (Sept. 13). According to the lawsuit docs, the alleged attack appears to have happened nearly a year ago. The alleged victim, Alexis Dieng, says he not only assaulted her but also recorded it.
TMZ reports that Alexis Dieng filed the lawsuit against Spectacular on August 12, 2026, according to court documents obtained by Radar Online. She says Smith reached out to her on Instagram on October 23, 2025, seeking restaurant recommendations. After talking for several hours and gaining her trust, Dieng says he arranged for them to meet in person. She says he then switched the meet-up location to a residence in Maricopa County, Arizona. Dieng adds that she arrived at the residence alone at around 10:30 p.m. on October 24.
While at the residence, Alexis alleges the Pretty Ricky singer initiated the physical contact. He allegedly put his hands on her neck to the point of restricting her breathing. Also, she says in the lawsuit that he had sexual intercourse with her without her consent. As mentioned, Dieng also indicated that he recorded “all or part of the incident without her consent,” per TMZ.
Additionally, the lawsuit says Alexis Dieng underwent a forensic sexual-assault examination at a Phoenix Family Advocacy Center on October 25. The examination reportedly found tenderness and redness in her vaginal area, along with tenderness, redness and an indentation on the right side of her neck, per The Daily Mail.
Also, she reported the alleged assault to the Phoenix Police Department, which created a case report and identified Spec as the suspect. In a statement to The Daily Mail, the Phoenix PD said it is still investigating the incident and no arrests have been made.
Alexis is seeking justice, says her lawyer. For her that reportedly includes a jury trial and punitive damages. In the last year, she said she’s received treatment at Carl T. Hayden Veterans’ Administration Medical Center for the incident. She’s also allegedly gotten continuous medical and psychological care following the alleged assault.The Shade Room reached out to Spec directly for comment, but has not received a response.
Last year, Spectacular Smith walked away from cutting a major check. He was first arrested in 2020 for an incident involving a Disney World employee. Smith and the employee got into an argument following the singer’s coronavirus joke with his son. When the employee tried to block Smith’s path forward, he allegedly reacted by punching the employee in the face. His bond was set for $500, but prosecutors later dropped the related battery charge. Five years later, in April 2025, a jury found Spec not liable in a $5 million civil lawsuit the employee had filed against him.
