Drake
and his company OVO are being sued for breach of contract
and unjust enrichment fraud. Concert promoter, Status Entertainment wanted the
rapper to pay over $200, 000 interest and court fees in return for two
cancelled gigs in Chicago.
The promoters accused Drake of pulling diva move
when he upped his fee during his "meteoric rise to the top of the music
charts, achieving worldwide fame and fortune" after initially agreeing to
perform for $250,000 fee. Status had transferred the rapper $100,000 in advance
but he pulled out of the March 2012 show without returning the money.
Drake performed for another promoter at a nearby
venue three months later. He "profited handsomely as a result and to the
detriment" of Status, the lawsuit said. The concert grossed between
$340,000 to over $1 million based on ticket pricing.
Status once again tried to work with Drake for an
October 2012 arena concert but the same thing happened.
