Everything We Know About Donald Sterling’s Rapper Friend Maserati Met

Dan RysPublished: May 15, 2014

Maserati Met is a rapper and an apparent associate of disgraced Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, who was banned for life by the NBA last month after a leaked audio call with his girlfriend V. Stiviano caused an uproar due to Sterling's racist comments. Maserati spoke with Sterling on the phone for over an hour after the initial incident, and then himself leaked their conversation to the Daily Mail on Tuesday (May 15), in which Sterling denied being a racist, and instead laid the racism card at the feet of Stiviano. Not content with just leaking the audio, Maserati then went on CNN last night to discuss the tape and, going by the name Maseratimet, said he'd known Sterling for five or six years and ran an escort service in Las Vegas through which he would introduce Sterling to "light-skinned black women."

So we learned that Maserati, AKA Maseratimet, AKA Maseratiet, is a Vegas pimp with a small rap career who rubs shoulders with some of the monetary elite in Los Angeles—and is also not one to shy away from the spotlight whenever the opportunity arises. But who really is Mazi, and where did he come from? XXL has compiled everything we know about the rapper who just added a whole bunch of fuel to this already raging fire.
