Atlanta rapper Drama, former client of entertainment attorney Phaedra Parks, was denied bond on last Friday.
Drama went down to Phaedra’s Atlanta law office and demanded to see her. After he was denied entry, he refused to leave and stated that he had a bomb. Frightened workers called police and he was arrested immediately.

As you heard here a while ago, music mogul 50 Cent had obtained the movie rights to executive produce a film about the powerfully notorious Black Mafia Family, headed by Demetrius ‘Big Meech‘ Flenory & his older brother Terry ‘Southwest T‘ Flenory.
Well a couple of years has since passed with no updates on the project and some thought it was not going to happen, or at best– obviously at a standstill.
Hope was restored after gossip surfaced last week that he is in fact still working on the project, the picture above shows him with his maybe his writer? Business partner?
According to the Internet streets:
Rapper 50 Cent is quietly becoming one of the most POWERFUL men in Hollywood. His hit series POWER is now widely recognized as one of the BIGGEST HITS on cable TV. Well he’s got anothe hit on his hands.
50 acquired the rights to the Black Mafia Family’s stories, and hes creating a TV show about it. You already KNOW its going to be GOOD.
Well not everyone is happy about it. MediaTakeOut.com learned that there are whispers around Atlanta that 50 is refusing to consult with the heavy hitters in Atlanta on the BMF TV series, including T.I., Jeezy, and some well known ex-drug dealers. Although 50cent own the rights, people are chatting and tweeting their displeasure with him leaving out the enter core of BMF.
Now I’m not sure how true any of this gossip is, but it appears we will get a BMF production sometime in the future. If executed properly, 50 stands make a grip off of this project, as well as create a street classic that will live on forever.

50 seems like a very business savvy guy, I’m sure he’ll find the proper sources when it’s time. He has to get the streets to cosign this project, there is no other way.
Hopefully he will get the story straight from Big Meech & Terry themselves, that way we know it’s real. It’s been a lonnng time coming!
Check out this interview with Tonesa ‘Toni’ Welch, spouse of Southwest T, as she sheds some inside light on what the Black Mafia Family was all about. She says more than anything the brothers were always trying to help others, even if they went about it the wrong way.
She also gives insight into their next level plans for rebranding the BMF brand on the fashion & home decor scenes.

According to Bossip and various other media outlets, a mysterious man was targeting Phaedra Parks threatening to bomb the office complex where her law offices are headquarterd.
As it turns out, the man in that faux-bombing was local Atlanta rapper, Drama.
Now, for those of you too young or not quite southern enough to remember who Drama is…he had a tepid hit in 2000 with “Left, Right.”
According to TMZ:
Phaedra Parks has history with the man who allegedly threatened to blow up her law office, because she was once his manager and lawyer … TMZ has learned.
Sources close to Terrence Cook — aka Drama — tell us Phaedra managed his music career back in 2000 when he was an up-and-coming rapper in Atlanta.
She was also his lawyer in a 2003 robbery case before she was removed as counsel. Cook served 12 years in prison for that case.
We’re told after Cook was released from prison in 2015 … he told friends he was going to Miami to meet up with Phaedra and shoot an episode of ‘Real Housewives.’ While in Miami, we’re told he got seriously injured in a skydiving accident, and has been on the mend since.
Sources close to Cook say he blamed Phaedra for his downfall in life … including his long prison term, defunct rap career, and skydiving injury. For the record, Bravo says Cook was never invited to shoot a ‘Housewives’ episode.
Wow, this is CRA-ZY news.
I also worked with Drama back in 1999-2000ish when he was fresh on the ATL music scene. Back then I was a budding AR Director for Southern Music, an independent music distributor based here out of Atlanta and he was one of the acts on the roster.
Over the years I wondered what happened to this guy and now I know, he’s been in the can for 12 years.
Anyway, looks like Ms. Phaedra might have a stalker on her hands.
One commenter said she needs a restraining order, but will that stop a person who is A.) fresh out of the can for 12 years and clearly is “about that life” and B.) a person who feels wronged or betrayed? Maybe, maybe not.
Phaedra, you need some GOONS on your team! Music game is a dirty game.
Check out Drama’s 1999 video for “Left, Right” and join the discussion.
***UPDATE***
Phaedra has since spoken out in defense of the rapper stating that this whole ordeal was all just a big misunderstanding. According to Phaedra, Drama was unfairly racially profiled and that he was only there to pass out his new mixtape and somehow they misunderstood “bomb mixtape” for “having a bomb.” Ummm ok.
