A rapper has revealed Katie Price’s ‘conman’ husband, Lee Andrews tried to persuade him to part with £65,000 for a joint business venture.
Ice.T.21, whose real name is Thomas Cseve, has spoken exclusively with the Daily Mail about how the so-called businessman, 42, handed him a trading schedule with promises he would make $310,000 in just one week.
The musician, 42, urged Katie to ‘stay away’ from Lee, who he claims is a ‘delusional and very dangerous man’.
Since Katie married Lee in January, two of his exes came forward telling the television personality to ‘run for the hills’ and not to give him any money.
His ex Crystal Janke, 40, claimed Lee hoodwinked her into handing over £123,000 to invest in his company, on the promise he could get a ‘return of £1million’.
And now Ice.T.21 has revealed he could have easily fallen into the same trap, after Lee turned the conversation to investment after they struck up conversation on Instagram back in April.

Ice.T.21, who has five million followers on Instagram, told Daily Mail: ‘I’ve been conned by people in the past. All of my music and public work is about helping people and supporting others. I wanted to make sure everything was genuine.
‘I’ve worked for Katie’s brand before. I was seeing so much about Lee that I put a heart emojis on one of his running videos and we got talking.
‘I have a massive following, that’s what drew him in. He was looking for investors.’
The rapper said he was sent a trading schedule similar to the one he sent Assistant Editor of The Sun, Clemmie Moodie, who on Monday claimed she was the latest of Lee’s victims, after being conned out of £1,000.
Ice.T.21 went on: ‘He promised me: “I’m coming to the UK”. He wanted me to give him £65,000 investment to make money and he said I would earn so much money in a such a short space of time.
‘I played along with it. I wanted to see if it was true. Would he do it to a guy? I think it’s disgusting what he’s supposedly done to his exes.
‘I just wanted to see for myself.’
In the message shared with Daily Mail, Lee told the rapper he has invested £65,000 of his own money into a trade agreement and requires a partner to put forward the same amount.
Issuing a stern warning to Katie about Lee, the rapper said: ‘I would say “stay away”. He’s a delusional person and very dangerous’

Ice.T.21, who has released songs such as PINK GIN, WHO AM I, and Criminal, said Lee was very persuasive and made promises when he was in the UK, they would all meet up to make music.
The rapper went on: ‘He came across as pushy. He was trying to persuade me, but I knew what his game was straight away.
‘He was trying to persuade me, I know what his game was straight away.
‘I was intrigued to see if the claims from others about Lee being a conman were true’.
The musician said he is speaking out now: ‘so other people don’t fall in the same trap.’
He went on: ‘I think males need to know, they could get pulled into the trap. I think it’s scary. If he can manipulate people in the way he can, it is very scary. It’s very scary.’
The rapper went on to say he believes Katie is innocent and that Lee has married her for clout and money.
Issuing a stern warning to the television personality, he said: ‘I would say “stay away”. He’s a delusional person and very dangerous.
‘Anybody could get sucked into it.’
Katie’s representative declined to comment when approached by the Daily Mail.
The latest claims comes as Katie has released her final texts to Lee before he vanished.
The worried former glamour model declared over the weekend her fourth husband, is missing, five days after she last heard from him and claimed he was ‘detained in a van with his hands tied’ after his disappearance.
Katie has now released her last communication with Lee in the hope it will help track him down, while his mother, Trisha has issued a desperate plea for his return.
In the messages, which were sent from 12.36am to 1.01am early last Thursday morning in Dubai time, the so-called ‘businessman’ told her: ‘Been arrested. I’ll be in touch. I’m ok xx.’
Trying to get more details, Katie replied within five minutes asking him: ‘Where? Why? I’m worried’ and told her husband she loved him.
Lee then revealed he didn’t know where he was being taken as they had his ‘other phone’.
Katie asked: ‘If they take your phone how will I get hold of you? Should I have your dad’s number?’.
Lee shared his live location and told her to contact the embassy and that he was being taken to a ‘black site’.
The Sun also reports he gave his father’s number to Katie as an emergency contact.
The live location then ended with the message: ‘Keep that on babe. Love you’.
Lee then appeared to backtrack on his claims that he was arrested as he told Katie: ‘It’s a black site, I love you, I sort it. I’m in the van… just being detained wtf.’
A friend told The Sun: ‘Katie has been completely spiralling, as you can imagine. This is NOT a publicity stunt – as if she needs any more PR – and no matter what Lee has or hasn’t done, she still loves him.
‘These WhatsApps prove that she is as blindsided as the rest of us as to Lee’s movements. She is not in on it, whatever “it” is.
‘She wants anyone with information to contact her or the police with information that might help find him.’
They added she wants to know Lee is safe and then can start ‘asking him some serious questions’.
The Daily Mail has contacted Katie’s representative for comment.
