UPDATE: Since TMZ’s report (which you can see below), Wale’s team stated that his ex-manager was actually the one who booked the show and took the money.
From TMZ:
Wale took a bag of money to headline a concert, but dropped a lotus flower bomb on it when he skipped the show and kept the cash … this according to a new lawsuit.
Upfront and Personal Global, the promoters who say they hired Wale for a performance in NYC this summer, just filed suit against the D.C. rapper claiming to have paid him $25k with nothing to show for it come the day of.
In the docs — obtained by TMZ — Upfront shows an alleged signed contract between Wale’s camp and the company, plus 2 wire transfers for $12.5k a piece. They claim after Wale bailed on the show, he went radio silent on ’em when asked for a refund.
Now, they want their dough back — plus interest. We’ve reached out to Wale for comment … so far, no word back.
