Swizz Beatz is accused of being involved in a multi-billion dollar fraud lawsuit. Filed in New York on Wednesday (Oct. 2), the suit says Swizz, whose birth name is Kasseem Daoud Dean, allegedly received more than $7 million linked to the 1MDB scandal.
The 1Malaysia Development Berhad corruption scandal consisted of Jho Low, his associate Eric Tan, and others allegedly stealing billions of dollars from the fund and misappropriating the money. Court documents obtained by AllHipHop explain how Swizz was allegedly involved.
“As the 1MDB Fraud was underway, Jho Low became a well-known figure in the Hollywood scene and developed a reputation as a businessman with deep pockets and a penchant for hosting lavish, star-studded parties and group vacations,” the lawsuit read. “Throughout the early 2010s, Low befriended many U.S. celebrities including Dean and his wife Alicia Keys.”
