Part 3/10:
Lil Wayne, who previously sold master recordings for over $100 million and was pardoned for felony gun possession by Donald Trump, reportedly pocketed $8.9 million from the grant. Investigators revealed he spent millions on luxury hotels, nightclub appearances, and private flights—some of which involved mysterious women often dubbed “groupies” or “mystery women” in salacious reports.
Chris Brown allegedly spent $80,000 on his birthday celebrations and $179,000 on a celebrity basketball tournament.
Members of bands like Shinedown split $2.5 million among themselves from an $8.3 million grant, with touring production workers sharing $650,000 — clearly demonstrating that the relief funds did not reach the intended vulnerable entities.
