Rappers and Blow

Well we all know rappers brag about being rich and smuggling cocaine and shit. Well, it looks like the person doing the moving is their managers.

From the Smoking Gun:
MAY 17--The Drug Enforcement Administration probe that has ensnared a well-known rap music manager is focusing on the shipment of kilos of cocaine from Los Angeles to New York by a narcotics ring that stashed the drug in “road cases” delivered to recording studios, The Smoking Gun has learned.

Payment for the cocaine was sent back to the West Coast in vacuum-sealed packages that were coated with mustard, the pungent smell of which was intended to conceal from drug-sniffing dogs the scent of narcotics on the currency.

To date, the ongoing investigation--which is being overseen by prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn--has resulted in felony charges against about six defendants, several of whom are connected to the rap music industry.

Additionally, an arrest warrant has been issued for James Rosemond, the manager who represents the L.A. rapper The Game. The 46-year-old Rosemond, a convicted felon with a lengthy rap sheet, is pictured in the [right] mug shot.

In addition to representing The Game (real name: Jayceon Taylor), Rosemond’s Czar Entertainment web site lists Mike Tyson and singer Sean Kingston as clients. His “affiliated artist” roster--whatever that is--includes gangster rapper Rick Ross, R&B singer Akon, and former Haitian presidential candidate Wyclef Jean. In fact, Rosemond was traveling with Jean in Port-au-Prince in March when the performer was reportedly “shot.”

Well I for one am surprised. I mean Rick Ross talks about being rich on cocaine and shit but don't we all just accept that he is full of shit? And then some dude who is boys with Wycelf Jean gets busted for kilos of blow? Damn, Wyclef is hood.
