Music executive James Prince, also known as "Jas", says the management for Toronto rapper Drake is scamming him out of millions of dollars. He says Drake has yet to profit financially from his records royalties. Based on further reports, James Prince has filed a lawsuit against Drake's management, citing that he discovered the rap superstar, but has yet to receive a share of Drake's earnings as agreed upon.
"The music exec who discovered Drake says that the rap star's management company has been cheating him out of big bucks -- and that Drake is being ripped off to the tune of millions as well. In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, James "Jas" Prince says that he discovered Drake on MySpace back in 2007 and introduced him to Lil Wayne and the bad-boy rapper's managers -- only to get cut out of the deal", reports the New York Post.
"They later agreed to give Prince a share of Drake's earnings, but he has yet to see a penny of that money, the suit says. More shocking, though, the suit claims the managers also have failed to pay Drake any of his royalties from his hit records. 'He hasn't been paid, and we haven't been paid,' said Prince's lawyer, James McMillan. A rep for the managers, Aspire Music Group, Laurant Management and Three Kings, did not return a call for comment. A rep for Drake did not return a call for comment."
