Singer Lumidee Caught Smuggling $1,000,000 Worth Of Cocaine In NY [PIC]
 

You guys remember that song 'Uh Oh' from 2 summers ago?

Singer Lumidee, whose real name is Lumiana DeRosa, was arrested at Laguardia International Airport on Friday November 25 after the Drug Enforcement Agency (D.E.A.) was tipped off that she was smuggling drugs into the United States. Police reportedly recovered over $1 million of frozen cocaine and over 7,000 exstacy tablets worth more than $500,000. DeRosa is reportedly involved in a suspected $50 million bicoastal drug ring, that also includes model Gloria Velez, who was also arrested on drug charges in 2004. Velez, was promoting the release of her calendar & DVD when she was charged after police seized 200 pounds of cocaine, $800,000 in cash and four other vehicles, where nearly $1 million cash was found. It was unclear how much money or drugs allegedly were pulled from Velez's bus. Lumidee enjoyed a brief but successful stint in the music industry in 2003. Her single "Never Leave You (Uh Oh, Uh Oh)" topped the Billboard charts for 2 weeks that summer, and a remix featuring rapper Busta Rhymes enjoyed a substantial amount of chart success. The album failed to create any other hits, but the Recording Industry of America certified it gold with sales of over 500,000 copies.

owned :1orglaugh

#??? for real whats the source

That's gotta suck.

ooops. she's fucked

When they cuffed her did she say "uh, uh, uh, oh! Uh Uh Uh OH!"


Sorry, I hated that fucking song.

she will be loved in prison

Someone tipped them off and then snuck in behind her with 10 times as much :winkwink:

The source is in the New York Daily News written by Leo Standora.

man say good bye to the singing career lol

what's the source?

doesn't show anything

hahaha busted!

owned big time

She was just the mule anyway.

exactly bvf

Never heard of her. One hit wonder?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Yep was a pretty big one thought ... I hated it

No real source ... post link or die

What a stupid fucking move.. I wonder if she was being threatened in order to do it... or if it was on her own will...

It was prolly the fact that 'she need anotha hit like ricky martin'

What was she thinking?

that kind of stuff in the hip hop world isnt as uncommon as you may think.

half of biggest labels now were started from drug money.

Acutally the only one that was arguably started with the help of laundered drug money was murder inc. So check your sources :upsidedow

cash money funded by drugs. No limit was also funded by drug money. Most of the smaller labels down here all run by drug lords.

hahah now thats gansta :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

maybe she can use all this publicity to make another hit single...

Cash Money has been grinding on the independant level since like 1991. No Limit the same. Of course it's more than possible that these entities launder and affiliate with drug money, especially down south with J Prince's shady dealings, but saying they are built on it is a true case of reaching and sensationalizing.

lol she will be having fun

she was someone's mule and probably had absolutely no choice in the matter.

fake story thanks

Death Row Records


dont remember the name of the company but the company Eazy E started was build on drugs,

and so on and on

Death Row?

Ruthless?

Under Interscope?

don't think so.

that's crazy shit, have fun in federal pound me in the ass prison bitch!

does 'pound me in the ass prison' apply to female prisons?

I love how they always over estimate the street price of drugs...

do some research and think again

pretty girl.

:2 cents:

Fake story nothing in nydaily and her real name is Lumidee Cedeno

what an idiot, hope she spends the rest of her life rotting in prison.

Suge & Harry O thing was hearsay, though it might be somewhat true in a rather petty laundering kind of way, but suge already had money. So like I said, to say it's built on drug money is to take jerry spring dead seriously.

And Eazy starting Ruthless on coke profits ....... :1orglaugh....more like on pimpin Dre to DJ bar mitzvahs

Michael Harris ("Harry O") was a founder of Death Row, was one of the largest dealers in the US back then

ROFL ... the hells were smuggling drugs and laundering money with some artists here in canada. It's been common practice for a long time . Private Jets + Big artists draw media attention, and less attention goes to watching what they are carrying ;)

DeathRow was also funded by a dealer while he was in prison ..

Can someone please explain to me how 7000 ecstasy pills are worth around $500,000?

Even with the street value of $20 that would only come out to $140,000. Wholesale those pills will probably fetch a dollar or so a piece, maybe as much as 5.

Gloria Velez is the fucking hot blonde chic from the Big Pimpin' video.

oh and...

Roc-A-Fella was started with Coke/Crack money.
Murder Inc. was started with Coke/Crack money.
NWA funded all of their equipment and initial studio time with drug money.
Death Row Records was started with drug money.

Sorry, no. Your favorite gangsters aren't quite so gangster.
