A rapper has revealed that Katie Price's husband, Lee Andrews, attempted to convince him to invest £65,000 in a joint business venture. Ice.T.21, whose real name is Thomas Cseve, spoke exclusively to the Daily Mail about how Andrews, 42, presented him with a trading schedule promising returns of $310,000 within a week.
Rapper's Warning to Katie Price
The musician, 42, urged Katie to 'stay away' from Lee, describing him as a 'delusional and very dangerous man'. Since Katie married Lee in January, two of his former partners have come forward, telling the television personality to 'run for the hills' and not to give him any money. One ex, Crystal Janke, 40, claimed Lee tricked her into handing over £123,000 to invest in his company, promising a return of £1 million.
Ice.T.21's Encounter with Lee
Ice.T.21, who has five million Instagram followers, said he could have easily fallen into the same trap. After connecting with Lee on Instagram in April, the conversation quickly turned to investment. The rapper told the Daily Mail: 'I've been conned by people in the past. All of my music and public work is about helping people and supporting others. I wanted to make sure everything was genuine.'
'I've worked for Katie's brand before. I was seeing so much about Lee that I put a heart emoji on one of his running videos and we got talking. I have a massive following, that's what drew him in. He was looking for investors.'
Ice.T.21 said he received a trading schedule similar to the one sent to Clemmie Moodie, Assistant Editor of The Sun, who claimed she was the latest victim, losing £1,000. The rapper continued: 'He promised me: "I'm coming to the UK". He wanted me to give him £65,000 investment to make money and he said I would earn so much money in such a short space of time.'
'I played along with it. I wanted to see if it was true. Would he do it to a guy? I think it's disgusting what he's supposedly done to his exes. I just wanted to see for myself.'
In a message shared with the Daily Mail, Lee told the rapper he had invested £65,000 of his own money into a trade agreement and needed a partner to match the amount. He then shared a four-week schedule promising huge weekly profits.
Rapper's Warning and Thoughts on Katie
Ice.T.21, who has released songs such as 'PINK GIN', 'WHO AM I', and 'Criminal', said Lee was very persuasive and promised they would meet up to make music when he was in the UK. 'He came across as pushy. He was trying to persuade me, but I knew what his game was straight away. I was intrigued to see if the claims from others about Lee being a conman were true.'
The musician said he is speaking out now 'so other people don't fall in the same trap'. He added: 'I think males need to know, they could get pulled into the trap. I think it's scary. If he can manipulate people in the way he can, it is very scary.'
The rapper also said he believes Katie is innocent and that Lee married her for clout and money. Issuing a stern warning, he said: 'I would say "stay away". He's a delusional person and very dangerous. Anybody could get sucked into it.'
Katie Price's Final Texts to Lee
The latest claims come as Katie released her final texts to Lee before he vanished. The former glamour model declared over the weekend that her fourth husband is missing, five days after she last heard from him. She claimed he was 'detained in a van with his hands tied' after his disappearance. Katie has now released her last communication with Lee in the hope it will help track him down, while his mother, Trisha, has issued a desperate plea for his return.
In the messages, sent from 12.36am to 1.01am early last Thursday morning in Dubai time, Lee told her: 'Been arrested. I'll be in touch. I'm ok xx.' Katie replied within five minutes asking: 'Where? Why? I'm worried' and told her husband she loved him. Lee then revealed he didn't know where he was being taken as they had his 'other phone'. Katie asked: 'If they take your phone how will I get hold of you? Should I have your dad's number?' Lee shared his live location and told her to contact the embassy and that he was being taken to a 'black site'. The Sun also reports he gave his father's number to Katie as an emergency contact. The live location then ended with the message: 'Keep that on babe. Love you'. Lee then appeared to backtrack on his claims that he was arrested, telling Katie: 'It's a black site, I love you, I sort it. I'm in the van… just being detained wtf.'
A friend told The Sun: 'Katie has been completely spiralling, as you can imagine. This is NOT a publicity stunt – as if she needs any more PR – and no matter what Lee has or hasn't done, she still loves him. These WhatsApps prove that she is as blindsided as the rest of us as to Lee's movements. She is not in on it, whatever "it" is. She wants anyone with information to contact her or the police with information that might help find him.' They added she wants to know Lee is safe and then can start 'asking him some serious questions'. The Daily Mail has contacted Katie's representative for comment.
