Ryan Leslie torches NY Post in for bad press

YouTube

Ryan Leslie was obviously still burned up over The Post's 'Finders Keepers' front page, about the rapper being forced to hand over a $1 million reward he tried to weasel out of.

We’re New York’s hottest paper!

Cheapskate rapper Ryan Leslie reacted to a $1 million verdict against him by burning the front page of The Post in front of cheering concert fans.

The hip hopper hothead was spewing over a Manhattan federal jury ruling on Wednesday that he had to own up to the $1 million reward he promised for the return of his MacBook Pro that had been stolen in Cologne Germany.

German Auto body shop owner Armin Augstein, 54, who found the missing laptop and returned it, but never saw a cent, sued Leslie here and won.

Leslie posted a video on YouTube of him angrily rapping: “Don’t believe everything you read in the f---in’ news,

‘Cause these haters’ll really prefer to see you lose” at the Long Island University campus in Brooklyn.

As he held up The Post’s front page, someone in the audience shouted out: “Burn it!” after which he lit the paper, then dropped it to the floor and stamped on it.

Earlier, the multi-talented Harvard grad — who has produced songs for Britney Spears and Mary J. Blige — told the crowd how he was shamed by the coverage.

“And so I woke up today to get me some orange juice, man, and the lady who works at the deli was like ‘aw man - you’re the guy on the front page of the paper today!’ and I looked at the headline. It said ‘Rap Weasel...”

Leslie claimed the laptop was worthless because he couldn’t retrieve his multi-track songs on the hard drive and will apparently appeal.

Augstein’s lawyer Michael Fischman said his client had been waiting two years for Leslie to make contact.

“He still has not accepted responsibility for the reward offer. We therefore have no reason to be optimistic about his intentions — he obviously does not have a good track record of following through with what he says.”

And the award for the most rediculous action by a multi-talented Harvard grad on a concert stage goes to,...

 

Geez R. Les, what ever happened to keeping your cool???

Whether you torch the article or the actual N.Y. Post building, does it change the facts?

Nope.

(why do we even bother to react the way we do in public)
