i am the bus driver who was contracted to drive chris prudhome,bill benston,and other crew members of free dem films on the lil wayne tour.

both chris prudhome and bill benston on a daily basis would come to me and have many excuses on how and when i would be paid to this day i still have not received any money for the work i did on that tour which totals $8310.00.

from the start the tour didnt feel rite, when i needed cash to pay for fuel a different person would use his personal debit card to pay for fuel and or hotels

because of non-payment we sat at a hotel near baltimore airport for almost a week then finally i was told that if i drove to atlanta and dropped off bill benston in south carolina he was goin to pick up checks from distributors of the film to pay me , so i drove to atlanta and sat there over a week sometimes sleeping on the bus as it was running out of fuel until finally the bus company told me to come home.

if any of the people mentioned above call to rent a tour bus do not work with them they are deadbeats

i will be contacting the dept.of labor and taking further legal action

Chris Purdhome

AUTHOR: The Truth - Atlanta (U.S.A.)

It has already been established Chris did not work for Free Dem Films, Inc. nor Young Money. He obtained the bus by means of fraud, therefore everything that came along with it, including the driver was obtained by that same method. He acted on his own in reference to this tour bus situation, then tried to pass the burden to Free Dem Films, Inc. We were not willing to accept the burden. We empathize with anyone this incident has affected. We have been affected as well. It seems that the proper information has not reached all individuals involved. To make it clear Free Dem Films, Inc. has no relation with Chris Purdhome. He was to obtain product placement and sponsorship for this project and fail to do so. He is the party on the contract and has admitted to the bus company as well as several other high profile business people that he did this on his own.

Also been scammed!

AUTHOR: Kris - (United States of America)

Hey David:

I also did some work for these guys in Miami for the Flo Rida -Touch Me video.  I am still owed $1k.  I was told by Mike Giancanna who is one their own, that I would get an additional $1k for shooting another day because they could not get everthing done as contracted.  My wife and I agreed and stayed another day, and paid for another night at the hotel.  It was a lonk 12 hour day to finish up shooting with the Red one camera.  Never got paid and I probably never will.  It's not the first time I was shafted by This guy either.  3 strikes already! Now he goes around telling people that I owe him. Unreal and BS. Anyway, hope you get it worked out.  Contact me anytime (((REDACTED)))
