Tone Loc's a good guy.

Want Tone Loc to perform? Sure thing. $400. Another club wants him? No problem. $1,000. The only problem is, the guy that made these deals wasn't actually Tone Loc's manager.

After Tone Loc heard about these two small Detroit clubs being scammed, he decided to do something to help them out. He decided that he would actually perform at these clubs to help the owners recoup some of that swindled money.

A fraudster managed to get $400 from the Red Dog Saloon, and a further $1,000 from Bumpers after he posed as Loc’s manager, promising that the rapper would play shows at the bars last summer.

When he heard about the scam, Loc, whose real name is Anthony T. Smith, offered to play the shows at the bar to help them recoup their loss, says the Detroit Free Press.

That's some pretty stand-up shit right there. Loc isn't doing the concerts pro-bono, but he didn't have to do the shows. That's nice of him to want to help out those club owners that got scammed. The scam artist has not been caught.
