Naughty By Nature and Bizzy Bone Playing Bolingbrook? Nah, Say Cops

BOLINGBROOK, IL — A Bolingbrook bar owner lost thousands of dollars to a man who falsely claimed he could get Naughty by Nature and Bizzy Bone to play at his place, according to a criminal complaint filed in Will County court.

Romarick Hough, 34, was charged with three counts of theft in connection with the alleged hip hop hustle.

Hough may have scammed Robert Zalewski out of as much as $100,000, the complaint said.

Hough allegedly accepted cash from Zalewski “under the representation he would procure” Naughty By Nature and Bizzy Bone to perform at Tailgaters Sports Bar & Grill. Hough was actually just out to rip off Zalewski and take away his money, the complaint said.

Zalewski was listed by the Better Business Bureau as the owner of Tailgaters.

Hough scammed Zalewski two years ago and then twice more just this month, the complaint said.

The warrant for Hough's arrest carries a $170,000 bond.

Naughty By Nature — winners of the 1996 Best Rap Album Grammy — are scheduled to play in Las Vegas Thursday. Bizzy Bone lost 30 pounds by “giving up alcohol, cutting out fast food and keeping his stress in check,” according to People Magazine.
