EXCLUSIVE: DRAKE'S FORMER MANAGER DREW WILSON WANTED AGAIN (PART 2) THIS TIME DEFRAUDING DRAKE, NICKI AND A PROMOTER WITH ELDERLY AUNTY'S HELP.

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.”


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.
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!

ANOTHER RAPPER GUNNED DOWN-M-BONE OF CALI SWAG DISTRICT WAS JUST IN T.O.


The Hip-Hop community suffered another blow with the untimely passing of Cali Swag District group member M-Bone who was shot and killed late last night in his Inglewood stomping grounds. This group was just in Toronto on Rap City on MuchMTV Canada about 2 weeks ago. It is such a shame that in these days when much rappers cannot cross the border into Canada, Cali Swag is on the right side of the law with no drug or gun charges hindering their Canadian entry and appearances. Once again, gunfire has silenced a member of the hip-hop community.

According to local police, no suspects have been apprehended as they continue to piece together clues in the senseless killing. A rep for Cali Swag released a statement to MTV News expressing the loss of the beloved group."Cali Swag District member Mante 'M-Bone' Talbert was the victim of a random act of violence last night, Sunday, May 15th in his hometown of Inglewood, CA. Word on his Facebook Memorial page talks about the whole thing about a "twitter beef" involving a young woman.

As police are still investigating the shooting and untimely death we ask that anyone with information contact the Inglewood Police Department. Mante, aged 22, was the comedic entertainer of Cali Swag District (who helped launch 'The Dougie' to mainstream audiences) and was an inspiration to his family, friends and fans. He was a hardworking, passionate artist and dancer that will be deeply missed."Cali Swag District made a major impact on the hip-hop market last year thanks to their catchy single "Teach Me How to Dougie." The track set off a rap sensation with the tune instructing fans how to perform the dance craze that sparked millions of followers. M-Bone was infamously known as one of the group's prime dancers along with members DJ C-Smoove, Yung and JayAre.

Last year we caught up with Cali Swag at the height of their dance movement where the collective elaborated on the track."A friend of ours went to Texas Southern [University]. He picked up on the [Dougie] dance [and] he learned how to do it [the way] they do it in Texas," C-Smoove recently told MTV News. "He came back like, 'Y'all should make a song about this dance.' So we made it happen. We went in the booth and we tore it downThe Inglewood Police Department is asking anyone with information to come forward and call its homicide division at (310) 412-5246 or its 24-hour anonymous hotline number, (888) 41 CRIME, or (888) 412-7463. Below is their hit song "Teach Me How to Dougie."

STEVIE WONDER GETS HONORARY DEGREE AND GIVES STUDENTS IMPROMPTU PERFORMANCE.


STEVIE WONDER surprised students at a university in New Orleans, Louisiana with an impromptu performance on Thursday (12May11) as he was handed an honorary degree at the facility. The Superstition hitmaker, who turns 61 on Friday (13May11), was handed the certificate at Tulane University, with Nobel Laureate Walter Gilbert and journalist Cokie Roberts also receiving degrees.

Wonder stunned the crowd at the ceremony when he started singing along to Michael White's Original Liberty Jazz Band and singer Topsy Chapman, before breaking into a rendition of his hit You Are The Sunshine of My Life. The superstar also recited the words to his new track, Ten Billion Hearts, reports the Associated Press. Spokesperson for the university, Michael Strecker, says the students were given an "unexpected treat".

NICK CANNON NOT PLANNING TO DISS EMINEM IN COMEDY SKIT.

Entertainer NICK CANNON is playing down press reports about his renewed war of words with EMINEM, insisting he's not poking fun at the rapper in his upcoming TV comedy special - but the fuss over their feud. New dad Cannon took aim at his rap rival in 2009 when he accused the superstar of disrespecting his wife Mariah Carey in the lyrics of Relapse album track Bagpipes From Baghdad. In the tune, Eminem opens up about an alleged romance with Carey, rapping, "Mariah whatever happened to us/Why did we ever have to break-up?" But when he turned on Cannon in the song, urging him to "back the f**k up," adding, "I'm not playing, I want her back, you punk...." and "I wish you luck with that whore", the entertainer decided it was time to fight back.

In a post on his blog, Cannon wrote, "(Eminem is) still obsessed with my wife, the same female that wouldn't let him get to second base from eight years ago." Cannon called Eminem "Slim Lamey" and offered him a challenge, writing, "Man to man, let's meet up and deal with this like adults... This is my invitation to you, whenever and wherever you like, sir. So when you come out of your introverted hiding place and ask your bodyguards if you can go out and play by yourself, I'm here Pimp!" And he further teased Eminem by stating, "Your legacy has now been tainted from this day forth! You will now be known as the rapper who lost to corny-a** Nick Cannon!"

The angry post was later removed, but sources at U.S. cable network Showtime recently revealed the comedian would take aim at Eminem again in his special, which debuts in America on Saturday (14May11). He insists that's not the case, stating, "I'm not taking him on. When you watch it (the special), you see what it is. It's really me talking about how silly the entire thing was. "I kinda come from... the character of my grandfather... and how he felt about me 'beefing' in hip-hop... It wasn't really a real beef. "He's (grandfather) kind of an old-school gangster, so (he'd) talk about how he would have handled it."

The drama with Slim Shady never stops! Sigh!

FLEETWOOD MAC PLAN TO REUNITE IN 2012...YAY!


Fleetwood Mac star Stevie Nicks has confirmed the band will reunite next year (12).
The group last toured in 2009 and their most recent album, Say You Will, was released in 2003.
The singer and her bandmate Lindsey Buckingham are both busy working on solo material, but they plan to resurrect the band in 2012 once they wrap up their side-projects - and Nicks reveals they are considering recording a new album. She tells Perez Hilton, "When (my new) album and Lindsey's album come to a stop then Fleetwood Mac will gather again and we'll either make another record or we won't and we’ll just go on tour."

BEYONCE SPEAKS OUT ABOUT FIRING HER DAD AS MANAGER.

Beyonce insists there's no bad blood between her and her father Mathew Knowles after she dispensed with his services as her manager.The music boss has been behind his daughter ever since she broke through with Destiny's Child, but the pair parted ways earlier this year (11).
Speaking out about the split, Beyonce tells Billboard magazine there was no big falling out between father and daughter.

She says, "It's not that anything bad happened between us. My family has my support always, and they support me, but when you've been working with the same people for 15 years, it's natural to eventually have your own ideas. "I believe that parents prepare their kids for the moment that they're on their own (and), at this point, I'm taking everything my dad and my mother have taught me, and I'm able to do things my way. "We were at a point where we'd learned so much from each other, and now it's exciting for me to do this on my own and hire my own team. I've started managing myself."
O well, lets hope it's not like the Usherama we saw 2 years ago.
