Federal prosecutors claim Chris Brown allegedly purchased narcotics from Harrison Garcia (right)

The names of Lil Wayne and Chris Brown have come up in the trial of alleged drug dealer Harrison Garcia.

Garcia, a music producer, is currently facing drug charges in Miami federal court. Wayne and Brown's names came up after investigators found photos of them with Garcia on his Instagram account.

In many of the photos Garcia is depicted living a lavish lifestyle. Posing with stacks of cash and exotic cars that prosecutors claim were purchased with funds provided by big time clients like Breezy and Wayne, according to the Miami Herald.

During one text exchange with a female, Garcia seems to suggest that a large sum of money transferred into his bank account from a "Christopher Brown" was from the singer.

“Look who put money my account,” Garcia wrote.

The woman responded: “What that for LOL”

Garcia replied with several smiley face emojis: “Drugs … lean and shit.”

On cross examination Garcia’s lawyer, Gustavo Lage, asked why the money transfer was of importance to the feds..

“You were very interested in the $15,000 wire transfer from Chris Brown,” Lage asked U.S. Homeland Security Agent Kevin Selent

“I was,” Selent replied.

Weezy was referenced in another text.

Garcia allegedly tells his "do-boy" that he'll "shoot you some trees," a reference to weed. “It’s for Wayne.” 

When Garcia was arrested last October, he reportedly admitted that he'd sold the rapper "a lot of narcotics."

When pressed in court Thursday, April 6, for more details on the feds' interest in Brown and Wayne, Selent declined.

“It’s still an open investigation,” he testified. “I can’t talk about it.”

"Beautiful Girls" hit maker Sean Kingston is singing the blues after a jeweler filed a lawsuit against him.

TMZ reports that Norman Silverman Diamonds claims Kingston paid $10,000 up front for a Rolex watch in June of 2013. NSD alleges the singer's check for the $36,000 balance bounced.

In September of 2013, the jeweler managed to get Kingston to pay another $15,000 towards his debt, but hasn't been able to reach him since.

Silverman finally got fed up and is suing Kingston for the $21,353 balance, plus damages and lawyer fees.

That was all it took for the Twitter savages to jump in the fray. Check out some of the reactions.

Kalief Browder was 16-years old when he was arrested for allegedly stealing a backpack. He was thrown into Rikers Island, where he spent three years without ever getting a trial. During that time he was beaten by guards, jumped by other inmates and locked in solitary confinement for hundreds of days.

When he was finally released, his spirit was broken and he ultimately committed suicide. His story is being told in a Jay-Z produced six-part series on Spike TV titled "Time: The Kalief Browder Story."

Brooklyn emcee Maino just released a new song, "The Ghost of Kalief Browder," giving his perspective on the unjust series of events.
