Word is bond but apparently not for singer Ryan Leslie! We toldja almost a year ago Ryan lost his sacred laptop while in Cologne, Germany. Well, he offered a reward and didn’t PAY UP!
The laptop contained all of his music including new beats for his ‘Les Is More’ album. He reportedly wanted his laptop back so bad that he was willing to cough up a $1 million reward to the person who turned it in. He said this to MTV:
“I lost my computer out here in Germany. I actually had my whole new album on there, which I had been working on in secret, and it got stolen. So right now I got a million-dollar reward for anybody that can return my intellectual property to me.”
A German man named Armin Augstein is now suing Ryan over that $1 million dollar reward, saying he found the laptop, still in its case, while walking his dog. Armin turned it over to police and according to the suit that was filed in the Manhattan federal court, he consistently emailed Ryan but his requests were ignored.
Problem is, Ryan made it known on Twitter, YouTube, and in interviews that he was offering a 1 million dollar reward, so he can’t deny it. In fact, here’s video of him raising the reward from $20,000 to $1 million:
