American singer Chris Brown and rapper Lil Wayne are under investigation for an alleged connection to a drug peddler ,Harrison Garcia, who is currently under custody and on trial for Federal drug charges.
Harrison Garcia, a Miami music producer is notorious for showing off his exotic lifestyle including: stacks of cash, luxurious cars and photos of himself and rappers such as Chris Brown and Lil Wayne on his social media handle.
According toMiami Herald, Federal reports revealed that an investigation was launched to unravel the various money transfers from Chris Brown’s account to Garcia which was to the sum of $15,000.
A federal agent who testified against the music producer, had said that Garcia, who was arrested last year October, had earlier confessed to have sold “a lot of narcotics” to little Wayne.
Jurors got to see evidence of Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter — and Brown’s involvement in the form of text messages seized from Garcia’s phones.
The messages appeared to show Garcia directing his “do-boy” to deliver drugs to Lil Wayne and his crew. “I’ll shoot u some trees,” one message read, a reference to marijuana. “It’s for Wayne,” Garcia allegedly responded via text.
The text message about Brown was more explicit. Garcia sent a text message bragging to a woman of a screen shot of the $15,000 bank deposit from “Christopher Brown” into his account.
“Look who put money my account,” Garcia wrote.
The woman responded: “What that for LOL”
Garcia replied with several smiley face emojis: “Drugs … lean and sh-t.”
On cross-examination, defense attorney Lage grilled Agent Selent about the screen shot, suggesting the feds were really targeting the rappers.
