Things Get Out of Control: Rapper Doug E. Fresh Facing Foreclosure!
(post by BT) First, Latrell Sprewell loses his boat and house in Milwaukee. Then Michael Jackson’s Ranch faces foreclosure… Now, the wave of celebrity housing problems has ensnared another high-profile victim: Our own Rapper Doug E. Fresh.
From US News:
“Rap icon Doug E. Fresh - best known for his ’80s hit “The Show” - has been socked with three foreclosure actions by banks looking to collect more than $3.5 million in unpaid mortgages on a trio of his Harlem homes…
The golden-voiced rapper, whose real name is Douglas Davis, grew up in Harlem. After his skill at vocally imitating drumbeats and percussion sounds made him famous in the 1980s, he stayed in the neighborhood, investing in local real estate and raising five sons.
He fell behind in payments and, according to a foreclosure suit filed in Manhattan in late August, 2008, he now owes more than $1.73 million.”
Sad, isn’t it? Joe Six-pack could blame Lehman, Detroit’s Big Three, Merrill Lynch, Wachovia, Bear Sterns, WaMu or AIG. But whom can Doug E. Fresh blame?! Unless he had his money with Madoff?! LOL
