The lengths some people will go to just to see Kendrick Lamar live in concert…
Justin Jackson and his wife Angel Lii have been charged with grand theft and identity theft after they posed as U.K. singer Adele’s manager, Jonathan Dickins, in order to try and nab some tickets to see Kendrick Lamar at the Rolling Loud music festival in Miami.
According to the Miami Herald, the Kendrick incident was not a once-off and the couple has reached out to reps for various musicians seeking tickets or memorabilia, including Rihanna, Usher, Drake, Katy Perry, Chris Brown and Pharrell Williams.

Miami attorney for Mr. Dickins, Brian Bieber, had a pretty low estimation of the suspects, saying: “The defendants did consistently leave a blueprint of their fraud for the detectives to find. Essentially, we have a pair of dumb criminals.”
Jackson has been in the legal system previously for very similar crimes. In 2007, he served two years in a Florida prison for posing as Madonna’s manager — successfully getting a jewelry store to loan him $2.4 million worth of jewelry, which he then sold to a pawn shop.
