Drew posing with President Clinton on a Toronto visit (Facebook)
So the Toronto Police has now grabbed Drew Dazzle's elderly aunt for helping launder money into her account, this time to the tune of $560,000. Drew is no stranger to these scam and fraud controversies. You remember last year he was arrested for other fraud schemes. Drew Wilson is now in the front of the Toronto Sun as a wanted man again! This time he's booking phony concerts in the name of Drake and Nicki Minaj? What the hell Drew? The Sun's Chris Doucette told me of these developments and I thought he was reffering to the last arrest not aware that it was a DeJa Vu thing!
The 41-year-old Malvern man also used his elderly aunt to help his $560,000 scam, Toronto Police alleged.But with Andrew Wilson so far refusing to surrender, his 76-year-old aunt is left facing the rap alone. “He portrays himself as a high roller who moves in the circles of hip hop artists and other famous people,” Det. Al Verwey said. Wilson allegedly uses many aliases, including Drew Dazzle and Drew Gibson. “He flashes cash, buys drinks and make himself out to be a big spender,” Verwey said. “He talks a good game and I guess some people take him at face value.”
A private investigator in the US stumbled upon a story about Drew ripping off a concertThe South African promoter wanted to put on a series of concerts with Drake and Nicky Minaj and they contacted Wilson after getting his name from a local promoter, Verwey said.“Wilson had some connections with Drake when he was still up-and-coming in Toronto,” Verwey said. “But at some point... the two severed their business relationship.”
Now this pretty much explains why Cortez Bryant had these disclaimers on his website. He refers to the scammer as defrauding ppl across the nation. Now it looks like across the world!
But Wilson used copies of Drake’s contracts to prove he was legitimate, Verwey said.Wilson allegedly billed $60,000 and had the cash sent to a U.S. account in his aunt’s name, Verwey said.The promoter then sent $500,000 to an account in Singapore, which was then transferred to a bank in Lebanon. But it’s still unclear what happened to that money.Drake’s publicist Sarah Cunningham said all the performer’s bookings go through ICM and he is solely managed by Bryant Management and Hip Hop Since 1978.
