The couple posed as Adele’s manager, Jonathan Dickins, just to score Kendrick Lamar tickets.
Justin Jackson and Angel Lii is a married couple in the U.K. who only wanted to get free tickets to see Kendrick Lamar at the Rolling Loud Festival.
In order to score free tickets, they each pretended to be Adele’s manager, Jonathan Dickins. This isn’t the first time the couple have posed as Dickins; according to Billboard, Jackson and Lii have also previously impersonated the manager in order to request tickets and merchandise from artists including Rihanna, Drake, Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams, Usher, and Chris Brown.
Some of the representatives of those artists addressed the issue to Dickins himself over a year ago, which then led to an investigation.
They were finally captured after their attempt to get into the Rolling Loud festival, after Dickins was alerted by Lamar’s label Interscope Records. Dickins then alerted Detective Steven Kaufman who later posed as a production manager and arranged for Jackson and Lii to pick up the tickets.
Jackson and Lii are arrested and charged with grand theft and identity theft.
