According to the NY Post’s Page Six, the former manager of singers Akon and Brandy, Jimmy “Henchman” Rosemond, is on the lam from the law.
A Federal arrest warrant is out for hip-hop mogul Jimmy “Henchman” Rosemond, who manages Brandy, Sean Kingston and Akon. Sources say the warrant was issued last week for the Czar Entertainment chief after he was indicted for alleged involvement in cocaine distribution, and he has yet to be located. A law enforcement official confirmed that a fugitive warrant is out for Rosemond. His lawyer, Jeffrey Lichtman, said, “Although a federal prosecutor has told me that there is an arrest warrant out, they have refused to provide me with the warrant or a copy of the charges.”
Rosemond also managed rapper The Game, singers Groove Theory and Mario Winans, among others. He’s most notable for being accused of setting up rapper Tupac Shakur, who was shot multiple times during a botched robbery at a New York recording studio in November 1994. 2Pac survived his wounds only to be assassinated in Las Vegas in September 1996.
Rosemond also made the news in 2005 when G-Unit rapper Tony Yayo was arrested and charged with assault for smacking Rosemond’s then 14-year-old son, Lil Henchman.
