Swizz Beatz is the CEO of Megaupload, apparently

by Nicole Villeneuve

This revelation makes that strange celebrity-endorsement Megaupload video a little more sensible: producer Swizz Beatz is the CEO of the file sharing company, and is the responsible for getting the artists involved and, in some cases, troubles with their labels.

It’s not that this was hidden info, it’s just that no one noticed before today, when the New York Post pointed it out.

Beatz, aka Kasseem Dean, and Megaupload maintain that they own the rights to all the performances in the video.
