Drake’s Ex-Manager Sentenced To Prison For Tax Evasion

A hip hop manager linked to stars like Drake and Lil’ Wayne booked a new gig — eight months in prison for failing to pay his taxes. Derrick Lawrence received the sentence Monday after pleading guilty last year for not filing personal tax returns from 2009 to 2011. The Aspire Music Group co-founder also has to pay back some $600,000 he still owes the feds. A year ahead of his tax omission, Lawrence’s company inked Drake to a management deal. From 2009 to 2011, the rapper’s former manager made $2.2 million, but the IRS didn’t get the returns. via NY DAILY NEWS
