Melvin Childs, a self-described former radio executive, claims Perry’s growth was significantly dependent on his early investment in him.
Childs also makes the shocking charge that Perry used “risky deals with drug dealers, couriers carrying large bags of cash across the country; backstabbing and double-dealing with corrupt promoters,” plus other illicit means to fund his early work according to the book’s press release.
