“A lot of the Young Money artists are doing their own thing.”

Man, quit lying.  Out of the whole Young Money team, it's believable that they ALL have something on their plate?

With Drake starting his Away From Home tour, there was in absence in Lil Wayne's roster on opening night and some would ask the question, why aren't there any Young Money artists riding with Drake?

Let Drake tell it, everyone is busy doing their own thing, but words such as that don't float too well and come off as being the actual fact.

[Check AFTER the jump for Drake speaking on absence of Young Money]

“It has been brought to my attention that false promoters and booking agents are illegally using my name and likeness to promote concerts and club appearances for their own financial gain….”

As arguably the artist with the biggest buzz in recent years, Drake, is seeing himself fall victim to a common thread in the music industry; misrepresentation.

Drake is speaking out to his fans about several shows and events he's been confirmed to attend without his knowledge or consent.

According to Drizzy, a stream of promoters and booking agents have been illegally using his name and image for monetary purposes.

Obviously upset about disappointing fans, Drake has released a statement issuing an apology to all who have fallen victim to the scams.

He speaks on the unfortunate situations saying,

“It is frustrating for me to hear that many of my fans, who like myself are innocent victims in these scams, have been misled due to the greed of these promoters. I apologize to any fan that has been a victim of these circumstances or feels let down by false advertising. “

Furthermore Drake says he and his management team, Bryant Management and Hip Hop Since 1978, are investigating the matter with authorities and he thanks his fans for continuing to stick by him.

“Please be assured that my team and I take these matters seriously and are actively cooperating with authorities. I cannot thank my fans enough for supporting my music and all that I do.”

For booking information for Drake, parties are encouraged to call his sole booking agents, International Creative Management (ICM) at (310) 550-4000.

Fans can visit his official myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/thisisdrake for confirmed concert and club appearance news.

Right before his commander in chief leaves for jail, Drake is announcing a 25 date college tour around the country.

His first solo tour dubbed the “Away From Home” tour will be part of the 5th Annual Campus Consciousness Tour.

The tour produced by Pretty Polly Productions and non-profit environmental organization Reverb promotes eco-friendly tours around the country.

In support of the cause Drake will be using biodiesel fuel in his tour bus and biodegradable and recycled products on his bus and backstage.

Joining Drake onstage will be another Canadian rapper, K-Os and synth-pop band Francis & The Lights.

The tour kicks off April 6 at Eastern Illnois University with stops at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival as well as Penn State, Furman and New Jersey's Bamboozle Festival.
