Tamar Braxton And Husband Vince Herbert In Violent Fight


Vincent Herbert and Tamar Braxton

R&B singer Tamar Braxton has been experiencing difficulties this year. Her album flopped, concert appearances sold poorly and she was kicked off the talk show “The Real.” After the cancellation of her reality show “Tamar And Vince” she returned full time to the one she started her career with, “Braxton Family Values.“ However, the ratings for the latter have declined as well. 

This week it was reported Tamar and Vince got into a violent fight in an Atlanta, Georgia hotel. Police were summoned, after Vince bit Tamar’s finger so badly, some feared she would lose the digit. In the July 16, 2011, the Judiciary Report did state there were rumors Vince has been getting violent with Tamar (Rumor: Tamar Braxton Is A Victim Of Domestic Violence). 

Tamar married Vince for his money and connections. Tamar’s music career did not take off for many years, always in the shadow of award winning sister, Toni Braxton. Ironically, Toni introduced Tamar to Vince, a music producer and imprint label owner. Vince gave Tamar a life of luxury and got her a new record deal with known producers. Vince used his influence in the music industry to make Tamar’s album a success. The couple got mixed up with the Hollywood illuminati and it put a massive strain on their marriage. The constant presence of the cult and their deranged demands brought the couple to breaking point. 

The most recent rumors state Tamar is cheating on Vince with a Hollywood entertainment manager. If this lands in divorce court, the alleged affair would be used against her. There is also precedent for this behavior, as Tamar was beaten in an elevator in Atlanta for cheating with married music executive, Michael Mauldin, the father of producer, Jermaine Dupri (whose last name is Mauldin). 

Side Bar: Speaking of Mauldin, a few weeks ago he was staring me down. I was ignoring Mauldin, as he was a Sony employee that had exploited one of my copyrights without permission. It’s annoying how these people keep finding me when I don’t want to see any of them. I don’t know what they think they are accomplishing. I am not afraid of them, nor do I like them. So exactly what do they think they’re doing. 

Mauldin is not a good guy. He and his son Jermaine not only ripped off the artists they signed to So So Def, their now defunct label, they also stole copyrights from a slew of writers and producers who sued them. Many writers and producers also complained to the parent label about the thefts they condone (Sony). The Mauldins also started other businesses and didn’t pay their employees, who slammed them for it on television and retained lawyers.

BOSSIP Exclusive: Tamar Braxton Involved In Domestic Dispute With Husband Vincent Herbert At The Ritz Carlton In Atlanta
 
Posted at 10:56 PM on August 22, 2016 - Looks like trouble is still brewing within Tamar Braxton and Vince Herbert’s rocky relationship. The couple got involved in an intense physical domestic dispute at the Ritz Carlton in Buckhead Atlanta last night, resulting in Tamar calling the police on Vince. BOSSIP has exclusively learned the details of the incident. 

According to our sources, Tamar and Vince got into an extremely heated argument that turned physical. During the altercation, Vince actually bit Tamar on her hand so badly that he drew blood, and she ended up calling the police. Witnesses say that Tamar’s finger was in extremely bad shape as she left the premises, and she very likely needed stitches to close up her wound. However, Tamar refused EMS services when they were offered. Vince was apparently NOT arrested, as he fled the scene before police even arrived. 

Even more shocking…we hear this isn’t the first time that these two have gotten physical. Sources say the couple routinely fist-fights and get into intense, physically violent altercations — something which everyone who works closely with the couple knows. They typically smooth things over and put on a good public face after each blowout…but apparently things got out of hand this time around, and police involvement was necessary...

Jermaine Dupri Set To Lose His Music Catalog Over Loan He Defaulted On



Music producer Jermaine Dupri, famous for hits by Kris Kross and Mariah Carey, is in danger of losing his million dollar music catalog. Dupri, who lives very lavishly and has lost most of his assets as a result, borrow $4,800,000 from SunTrust bank in 2009, using his music catalog as collateral, much like affiliate Michael Jackson repeatedly did with his stake in the Sony catalog.

However, where Jackson's share of the Sony catalog was worth a few hundred million dollars, Dupri's catalog is worth a few million at best and does not generate the kind of revenue needed to repay a $4,800,000 loan, after his expenses and wild spending.

Suntrust is now stating the loan is in default and suing Dupri for $1,900,000 plus interest and penalties. It's another blow in Dupri's ever widening financial problems. His Atlanta mansion went into foreclosure twice and is facing auction, he was hit with a $3,000,000 tax bill that he paid off recently, he lost his restaurant, record label and Janet Jackson, who dumped him for his cheating and married a billionaire. Dupri was also hit with costly lawsuits for copyright infringement, alleging he stole music from others.

SunTrust suing Jermaine Dupri, So So Def for $1.9M

Updated: 7:30 a.m. Friday, May 31, 2013 | Posted: 9:30 p.m. Thursday, May 30, 2013 - Atlanta music mogul Jermaine Dupri and his So So Def Productions have been sued for $1.9 million, accused by SunTrust Banks of defaulting on a loan. The lawsuit filed this week in Atlanta appears to be the latest in a string of financial challenges for the Grammy winner, one of the most prominent music producers in the nation.

In SunTrust’s lawsuit, the bank alleges that Dupri is in default and still owes money toward a $4.9 million loan from 2010. The loan is backed by copyrighted music owned by Dupri, So So Def and other businesses, as well as a building on Briarwood Court in DeKalb County that houses two recording studios.

Neither SunTrust nor Dupri, listed as Jermaine Dupri Mauldin in the court documents, immediately returned messages seeking comment Thursday. The debt originated in 2009 as part of an earlier loan that Dupri took on to pay off income tax and other liabilities, according to a separate court document...
