Lil Boosie's name is as big as ever now that he's been freed from prison, and his fans are eagerly waiting to see him perform live on tour. It is because of this that a new concert scam has emerged to cash-in on his pending success, and he and his brother TQ have warned booking agents to be aware of the fraud.
According to TMZ, the scam has targeted booking agents all across the U.S., charging hefty sums of money to book Boosie for shows when in reality, neither Boosie, his brother TQ, or any of their associates are connected with the scam booking agency. One victim of the swindle, LaToya Thompson, reported to TMZ that she discovered the alleged Boosie booking agency on Instagram not too long ago, and phoned in to inquire about costs to book Boosie for a future show. The agency claimed to get LaToya in contacts with a man claiming to be TQ, who instructed her to wire him $25,000 for an April Boosie concert.
LaToya sent the money last week and hasn't heard from the fake TQ since. Other booking agencies suffered the same fate with slightly different details regarding each agency's encounter with the fake TQ. The contract that LaToya passed to TMZ displays a company called "Giovany Productions," as the source behind the swindle bookings, but none of the phone numbers worked when TMZ tried to contact them.
Boosie and his brother have strongly denied giving any company permission to book him for shows, and that all bookings must go through his actual brother for it to be a legitimate contract. TQ plans on filing a police report to get the matter straightened out so no more agencies lose money trying to book Boosie for future business.
