It has come to light that an individual or groups of individuals have been contracting and advertising false bookings of Drake for financial gain. These individuals misrepresent themselves as management affiliates of Drake in order to secure and pocket deposits for false bookings and club appearances.
Here’s a statement from Drake:
It has been brought to my attention that false promoters and booking agents are illegally using my name and likeness to promote concerts and club appearances for their own financial gain. It is frustrating for me to hear that many of my fans, who like myself are innocent victims in these scams, have been misled due to the greed of these promoters. I apologize to any fan that has been a victim of these circumstances or feels let down by false advertising. Please be assured that my team and I take these matters seriously and are actively cooperating with authorities. I cannot thank my fans enough for supporting my music and all that I do.
Drake, who is co-managed by Bryant Management and Hip Hop Since 1978, is booked solely by International Creative Management (ICM); any party interested in booking Drake can contact ICM at (310) 550-4000.
A couple of days earlier I posted two video clips of rapper Kid Cudi punching a fan in the front row of his concert in Vancouver.
The fan that got hit, Michael Sharpe , states someone behind him threw a wallet onto the stage. He says Cudi tossed it back to the crowd and he caught it — but since it wasn’t his, he tossed it back. Sharpe says that is when Cudi came towards him and started to punch him.
Sharpe says his friends held him back and security quickly pulled Cudi away. Sharpe told TMZ, “I’m not upset, I’m not going to be that person. I just want to meet him and be like ‘I’m the guy you punched.’ I’m not going to press charges.”
The kid suffered a minor laceration under the right eye, but seems to be fine.
