Concert Promoter Sues Drake For $200,000 From Canceled Performances

    Drake, as well as his OVO Touring company, has been sued for making more than $200,000 off of a Chicago concert promoter from canceled tours.

    SPIN reports that court documents filed Tuesday (December 10), allege that Drake canceled two agreed-upon performances, increased agreed-upon prices, and that a third party spent half of the money on an unrelated event.

    The lawsuit, filed by Status Entertainment, details the communication between the company and Drake’s representatives about a show for March 2012. Status alleges that OVO agreed to the show at an asking price of $250,000, and Status transferred $100,000 over, but the concert was canceled. OVO allegedly failed to return the funds, claiming that another member of Drake’s camp spent it on a separate event.

    The document alleges that status had a second agreement for an October 2012 show at the Allstate Arena, claiming that they sent just of $100,000 this time to Drake’s camp, but OVO became non-responsive, and eventually wrote back, “We changed the price because our value went up.”

    Status demanded its money back, at which point OVO said it would refund the money. However, no money was ever sent back.

    The charges include breach of contract, conversion, quantum meruit, unjust enrichment fraud, and violations of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act.

    Status is asking for $202,800, court costs, interest, and whatever the judge feels is fair for “disgorgement of profits.”

    1. OVO’s value is growing exponentially daily, as they keep on dropping nothing but hit records. So they should be allowed to increase prices that correspond with the growth of their brand as they see fit. The demand for Drake and the OVO brand just keeps skyrocketing.

      I also seriously question the allegations about OVO refusing to pay money back. This Status Entertainment company sounds suspect.

    2. Gucci mane is the blueprint of a real nigga and heres why

      GUCCI MANE is the realest rapper and heres why.
      1) all other rappers rap about being gangster shooting and killing but they havent done it.
      2) Eminem raps about killing he hasnt.
      3)Jay z raps in open letter about sending shots he hasnt.
      4)Nas raps about how he is a queens thug but he wasn’t.
      5)Most of the rappers rap about stuff they havent done yet you all support them and say its real rap.
      6)When rick ross does it you all claim he is fake and say its fake rap.

      This shows that hiphop fans are hypocritical and all these real hiphop fan wanna be’s are just some unjustified haters whose opinions are just as irrelevent as the swag fag rapper fans.

      GUCCI MANE KILLED A MAN HE WAS A DRUG DEALER BEFORE RAPPER HE HAS STREET CREDENTIALS HE IS THE ONLY RAPPER THAT RAPS ABOUT FACTS THERE FORE BIG GUWOP IS THE REALEST RAPPER IN THE RAP GAME AND THATS A FACT!
