Lil Wayne and Chris Brown in Hot Water for Alleged Use of COVID-19 Relief Grants

Reportedly, Lil Wayne spent his money on various stays at luxury hotels and other frivolous purchases, allocating over $1.3 million of the relief money to private-jet travel and over $460,000 to high-end clothing brands.

Chris Brown allegedly spent $80,000 on his own birthday party, for which he bought “atmosphere models,” an LED dance floor, bottle service, hookahs, and “nitrogen ice cream,” just to name a few. Not to mention the $24,000 on a tour bus ride to Tulum.

Business Insider also reported that Lil Wayne spent $15,000 for flights and hotel rooms for women whose connection to the paper and his team is not clear, including an adult film actress and a waitress from a “breastaurant.”
According to the report, producer and DJ Marshmello received $9.9 million in grant money. Rather than allocating it to dancers, private jets, or members of his staff, however, he awarded the entire payment to himself.

These millionaire artists were able to receive money meant for smaller, struggling musicians thanks to a loophole in the Small Business Association’s SVOG program. In a statement to Business Insider, the SBA claimed that it was directed to examine revenue, not the assets of recipients.

Offering his take on the matter, Former Comptroller General of the United States David Walker told Business Insider, “At a minimum, it smells,” then added, “Whether it’s legal or not is up to a lawyer or ultimately to a court. But it sure smells.” At this time, neither Lil Wayne nor Chris Brown appear to have commented on the report.

State and U.S. Territory delegates passionately took their turns casting votes Tuesday night for Kamala Harris during the second night of the Democratic Convention, but no state had quite the performance that Georgia provided.

Atlanta rapper Lil Jon hopped out on the floor to perform an abbreviated version of his hit 'Turn Down for What' before Georgia congresswoman Nikema Williams cast the state's 123 delegate votes for Harris.
