This actually been going on for a while and a lot of rappers who you think wouldn’t be involved were or are. It seems like the pandemic hit these dudes and they went straight to scamming through an intermediary. I saw hella videos a few months ago from independent artist saying the got scammed or almost did. And they had receipts too. I think the first video I saw was someone complaint about Sauce Walka and I think his manager is one of the dudes quarterbacking the shyt. The sad part is, they stealing from a lot of people who are their fans and taking advantage of their lack of knowledge
Facts. shyt is wack. Someone comes to these artists with names (Fat Joe, Jadakiss, DMX, Redman, Benny, etc...) and tells them "We can make you X amount of dollars, if we can use your IG". These artists not even DMing them, then they promise you to put you on a mixtape with the rapper, they put out some mixtape that's never promoted, the artist that DMed you isn't even on it, and it has 60 other new rappers on it nobody ever heard of. Only thing the artist does it put their face on the cover. It's disgusting.
These the same nikkas talking about "I get to the bag" but scamming young kids from the hood during a pandemic. Nasty work.
