Couple Arrested For Posing As Adele's Manager to Get Free Kendrick Lamar Tickets

A man with a history of posing as celebrity representatives is facing charges, along with his wife, after the couple posed as Adele's manager to get tickets for last weekend's Rolling Loud music festival in Miami.

Police say 30-year-old Justin Jackson and 25-year-old Angel Lii were arrested at Bayfront Park early Sunday. 

Jackson, arrested as Jayce Lii, faces charges of grand theft, fraudulent use of identification and tampering with physical evidence. Lii is charged with grand theft, fraudulent use of identification and unlawful use of a communications device.

Jackson and Lii allegedly posed as Jonathan Dickins, Adele's manager, and sent an email to Kendrick Lamar's manager requesting tickets to the festival for Rolling Loud, which the rapper was headlining.

Lamar's manager believed the request was fake and reached out to the real Dickins, who contacted police. The email address used was connected to Jackson and had been used to make false claims in the past, an arrest report said.

The Miami Herald reports Jackson has served two years in a Florida prison for convincing a jeweler to loan out $2.4 million in jewelry in 2007 by posing as a rep for Madonna.

He has also posed as Oprah's nephew, former basketball player Reggie Love, a former aide to President Obama and a cable television executive, according to court documents obtained by the Miami Herald.

The couple was released from jail Monday.
