Actress Drew Sidora has released a statement regarding the recent news that her ex-boyfriend, who was running a Hip-Hop record label, was actually a drug baron shipping kilos from Southern California, back to Baltimore.
New broke earlier this week that Drew Sidora was the girlfriend of an alleged, major drug dealer named Ricky Brascom.
Brascom and his partner Charles Ransom Jr., who is also charged, are the CEO’s of independent label Behind Da Scenes Entertainment, which includes Chicago rapper Paypa as an artist on the roster.
Brascom, Ransom and popular Baltimore spinner, DJ Darrin Ebron were arrested in November of 2010.
The trio are accused of shipping nearly 400 kilos of cocaine from Los Angeles to Baltimore and using over $4 million dollars in proceeds to fund a lavish lifestyle that included luxury cars, homes on both coasts and a mansion in a gated community where famed producer Dr. Dre resides.
“I live my life believing that when you do good, God continues to bless you,” Drew Sidora told AllHipHop in a statement released today (February 5th).
“Like many young women who fall in love, we trust our partners and pray that they live a life based on the principles of morality and integrity, I never knew of his activities and as soon as I became aware, the relationship ended,” Drew Sidora said. “I continue to pray for him and his family and anyone else that was affected by he and his partners actions.”
According to court documents filed against the trio, Brascom’s then girlfriend, Drew Sidora, was caught on wiretaps during operation “Snow Bird.”
The feds claim Sidora was worrying about her significant other, who had just lost a haul of cocaine to law enforcement officers.
According to Sidora, she is back in Chicago preparing to give birth to her first child, while working on a series of children’s books and educational video series.
Sidora, who starred in the hit “That’s So Raven” and as herself on the hit series “The Game,” is also a spokesperson and volunteer with the Illinois Raise Your Hand initiative, which advocated sustained funding for public education.
“Right now, I am focused and overjoyed with happiness of pending motherhood. I will continue to be an advocate for initiatives that promote education, the wellness and stability of our youth, families and communities,” Drew Sidora said. -AHH
