Lil Wayne is reportedly being accused of lying about being drug free so that he can obtain a $9 million pandemic loan.
According to reports, the rapper said he had a “drug-free workplace”, as that was neccessary for the him to receieve the loan.
“The SBA’s process of monitoring and auditing of grant recipients is actively ongoing. To date, about $40 million has been returned from SVOG grantees and additional files have been referred for ongoing criminal investigation or civil recovery,” the agency said. “To date, none of the recoveries relate to the drug-free certification.”
Lil Wayne isn’t the only artist who is accused of lying, Post Malone, was also granted a loan in 2021.
