Remember those “When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong” skits on Chappelle’s Show? Well they had a point beyond the obvious humor and absurdity. There are times when doing what you think is “real” is simply the wrong move. Like Bronx rap duo Da YoungFellaz, who received a loan for $130,000 to spend on marketing. But according to a lawsuit filed against the MCs, they didn’t necessarily put that money to the best use.

The New York Post reports that the suit claims that the rappers, Jay Storm and Sho Biz, squandered the check on “illegal purchases of marijuana” and a $14,000 trip to SXSW. The latter would have been fine, of course, had they performed. But … they didn’t.

Here’s what the duo tweeted this afternoon, perhaps as a reference to the suit.

StigmaSound, a Manhattan recording studio, says YoungFellaz Joseph Aguiar, Johnny Aguiar and Brett Officer blew through their first $25,000 loan, meant to rocket the group “toward A-level stardom in the entertainment industry,” in just three months by last October.

Frank Marquez of StigmaSound, whoever he is, gave these guys the cash.

Johnny Aguiar, whose stage name is Jay Storm, wrote a mea culpa for his behavior to StigmaSound owner Frank Marquez, according to the filing.

“I APOLOGIZE for all of my insults, and comments, I’ve QUIT smoking, and have been for about a month now, I haven’t told you this, but my body, and my mind are going through it, trying to get off the weed,” he wrote in an e-mail attached as an exhibit to the suit.

WOW. This is simply ridiculous from all angles.

I feel like the guy who gave them the money has no-one else to blame. Doesn't seem like there was any measure of supervision over the money, or accountability for it. Dude simply handed 2 young stoners a huge pile of cash and hoped for the best. How dumb is that
