Another case of life imitating art has surfaced in the
arrest and conviction of famed music manager, Jimmy Henchman, real name
James Rosemond, who was indicted on massive cocaine charges. Henchman has
represented music stars such as Brandy, Akon, Game, Gucci Mane and Shyne,
to name a few.
It is alleged Henchman used his management company and
recording studio, to traffic large quantities of narcotics in and around
America, then distributed the cash proceeds, via an elaborate scheme involving
Fedex and rented mail boxes. Money was shipped through the mail, vacuum
sealed and coated in mustard, to throw off dogs that sniff mail packages.
Henchman's arrest is said to be part of a larger drug probe into rap
music.
The entertainment industry is no stranger to entertainers
being involved with organized crime. The late Notorious B.I.G. was a drug
dealer, who got involved with the Genovese mafia, as confirmed by FBI
reports. Former Sony CEO, Tommy Mottola, who was married to singer Mariah
Carey, after she broke up his 20-year marriage, bragged of his mafia ties
in Vanity Fair.
Rapper 50 Cent was also a drug dealer. Rapper, Jay-Z,
another drug dealer, continues to boasts about his debauched life in
profane songs. Lastly, pop singer Madonna, has financial ties to the mafia,
even dated a member of it as well. In closing, many people in the
entertainment industry are always looking to make a fast buck, which often
entails breaking the law. What a horrible example to set.

Cocaine Probe Targets Rap Music Figures
MAY 17--The Drug Enforcement Administration probe that has
ensnared a well-known rap music manager is focusing on the shipment of
kilos of cocaine from Los Angeles to New York by a narcotics ring that
stashed the drug in “road cases” delivered to recording studios, The
Smoking Gun has learned.
Payment for the cocaine was sent back to the West Coast in vacuum-sealed
packages that were coated with mustard, the pungent smell of which was
intended to conceal from drug-sniffing dogs the scent of narcotics on the
currency. To date, the ongoing investigation--which is being overseen by
prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn--has resulted in
felony charges against about six defendants, several of whom are connected
to the rap music industry...
