Chris Brown, Lil Wayne Spent Covid Relief Aid on Parties, Private Jets, and More: Report

A new report from 'Insider' reveals how major artists like Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, and Alice in Chains spent the millions they received in Covid aid.

Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, Alice in Chains, and other artists spent massive Covid relief money on luxury items, travel, and themselves, according to a new report from Business Insider. While the initial report did not contain any details on how that money was used, accounting records obtained by Insider show that some of the funds were spent in ways that may not be illegal, but which Senator Gary Peters called “an abuse of federal resources.” Documents also suggest he used $80,000 of the SVOG money on his 33rd birthday party, including more than $29,000 on hookahs, bottle service, “nitrogen ice cream,” and covering damages to rented couches, plus $2,100 on “atmosphere models” (described as nude women in body paint).
