Atlanta Housewives Phaedra Parks’ Bomber Stalker Is Local Atlanta Rapper And Former Client

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.

Rap Legend Notorious BIG Inspires New TV Series

According to BOSSIP:

If you never thought you’d see a TV show based around the life of an iconic black rapper, think again.

TBS is working on a scripted T.V. series called Think B.I.G. that will be loosely based on the life of Biggie.

Yep, you read it right. The show is currently in development and will draw from Biggie’s true story of growing up in Brooklyn and trying to make a better life for himself and family at the tender age of 21.

We haven’t gotten wind about the cast or who will be playing the rapper but we certainly hope they choose someone who can get it right. It should be interesting to see what TBS network will do with this storyline.

Will YOU be watching?

Speaking of Biggie, can you believe it’s almost been 20 years since he passed away? In honor of hip hop’s tragic loss, win a chance to get a free copy of the movie ‘Notorious’ on Bluray by entering your email here. 

Rap Legend Dr. Dre Cuffed And Searched At His Own Home After Trespasser Falsely Accuses Him Of Flashing A Gun

  
Just in case you thought being a billionaire made one immune to police harassment, the legendary Dr. Dre got a heaping dose of reality at the end of his own driveway on Monday. 

A dispute with a passing motorist led to the butthurt driver crying “gun” on the hip-hop mogul, and a gang of cops showing up to his home to handcuff and search him.

According to TMZ:

Dr. Dre got cuffed and patted down by Sheriff’s deputies outside his Malibu home after an alleged road rage dispute over a guy blocking his driveway.

Sources close to Dre tell us the motorist had pulled off PCH and stopped in front of Dre’s crib. We’re told Dre asked him to move, and he did … but cussed at the mogul as he did it. Dre pulled into his driveway, but the other driver kept yelling — so Dre pulled out his phone to record video.

Our Dre sources claim the guy said, “Here we go again, another black guy with a gun.” L.A. County Sheriffs tell us the motorist called 911 to report someone pulled a gun on him.

When deputies responded they put handcuffs on the Doc and searched him. We’re told they found no gun, and let him go. However, the guy insisted on making a citizen’s arrest, which means he filled out a report detailing his allegations.

The Sheriff’s Dept. will forward that to the District Attorney … who will decide whether there’s a case. Dre was not physically arrested by deputies.

SMH! So all someone has to do is place a call to police and say the words “black man” and “gun” and a whopping 6 police squad cars show up. 

Not to mention Dr. Dre was on his OWN property and the caller was a trespasser on HIS property but HE (Dr. Dre) gets cuffed and searched. Something is not adding up here but it goes to show that no matter how successful you are, if you’re black then you’re still a target and a “threat”.
