According to the lawsuit, the “irresponsible, malicious and criminal acts” of the singer’s “misbehaving” 21-year-old nephew have damaged Martin’s “pristine reputation, which he has maintained through his long artistic and altruistic career over the past nearly 40 years years of his life”.

As “EW” reportsthe lawsuit also states that prior to the allegations, Martin’s nephew publicly boasted that he was related to the singer, bombarded him with messages on WhatsApp and Instagram and on one occasion posted his private cell phone number on a social network.
