Daniel Sturridge Pays Off Five-Year Feud by Settling Dispute Over Stolen Dog
Former Liverpool and England striker Daniel Sturridge has finally put an end to a five-year dispute with a US rapper after settling a claim over his stolen Pomeranian dog. The ex-footballer reportedly paid $20,000 (approximately £16,000) to resolve the matter, bringing closure to the prolonged legal battle.
In 2017, Sturridge’s beloved Pomeranian, Lucci, was stolen from his home in Los Angeles. A reward of £23,000 was offered for the dog’s safe return, but unfortunately, it never turned up. The dispute arose when rapper Ja Rule claimed that he had found the dog and was seeking compensation.
The feud escalated over time, with both parties refusing to back down. Sturridge allegedly refused to pay the $30,000 (£23,000) demanded by Ja Rule, prompting the rapper to take legal action. However, it seems that the former Liverpool star has now decided to put an end to the drama and settled the matter out of court.
This unexpected turn of events will undoubtedly bring relief to both parties involved. The prolonged dispute had been a public embarrassment for Sturridge, who had built a reputation as a devoted dog lover during his playing career.
It remains unclear what prompted Sturridge to finally settle the claim, but it’s clear that he has put the matter behind him and can now focus on more pressing aspects of his life.
