Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris
 
People have been slamming Taylor Swift on social networking labeling her promiscuous. Swift has dated and had sex with roughly two dozen men over the past few years. Swift's vagina is in rotation more than her songs on the radio. Swift's most recent ex-boyfriend, DJ and producer Calvin Harris, slammed her on Twitter and it wasn't pretty.

Harris shot back at Swift's claims, calling her a liar out to ruin him. Harris warned Swift he will not allow her to bury him.

Adrien Broner Disses Floyd Mayweather And The Money Team In New Song ‘Slammer’


Adrien Broner's song "Slammer"
 
Ohio boxer, Adrien Broner, who fancies himself a rapper in his spare time, just released a new explicit rap song entitled “Slammer (Mayweather & TMT Diss).” The word “slammer” is slang term in America for jail. Broner was recently incarcerated for 11-days on a probation violation, in connection with an original offense for DUI and a second incident on reckless driving charges in Ohio. 

“Slammer” uses the beat from the rap song “Panda” by Designer, who performed the music during the ring walk of Broner's most recent fight. In the diss track Broner slams Mayweather and his Money Team collective of boxers and businesspeople. Broner raps, “I got Floyd going against me...I found out I couldn’t get him, so I knocked out his nig*a.” 


Broner v. Theophane 

The lyric is in reference to Mayweather refusing to fight Broner, but making a business deal for him to fight his Money Team boxer, Ashley Theophane, which occurred on April 1, 2016. The fight ended in the 9th round, due to a low blow from Broner, which was proceeded by an immediate controversial call from the referee, who disregarded Theophane stating he was okay to continue the fight. It was a strange occurrence. However, it really wasn't a knockout or knockdown. The song "Slammer" was another low blow, especially considering after the fight Broner took to Instagram and referred to Theophane as a friend.

Broner resents Theophane and fellow Money Team boxer, Gervonta Davis, as Mayweather took them under his wing and has been helping them as he once did Adrien, whom many used to refer to as his protégé. As stated in the column previously, Broner is clearly experiencing abandonment issues regarding the man, Mayweather, whom he used to refer to as his big brother.

Broner is angry at all the talk in the sports industry about Mayweather potentially coming out of retirement to fight MMA’s top star, Conor McGregor. Broner wants to be the one to fight Mayweather. He even broached the subject after the Theophane fight. However, it caused Mayweather to literally laugh until he cried at ringside, not taking the challenge seriously.

There are other highly charged lyrics in the song "Slammer" such as the line “And that’s on life, keep playing and you’ll use yours” which sounds like a threat against Mayweather or the man who has sued him for assault and battery at a Ohio bowling alley, after a personal incident went wrong. Broner pulled a gun on the man, who had won $10,000 betting against him. Broner, a multi-millionaire, punched him in the chin twice, knocking him unconscious, then took his money back, in addition to $2,000 belonging to the victim.

The victim required hospitalization and 60-stitches to repair his chin that was split open by Broner, in a matter that is now a criminal case against Broner, who also raps on the aforementioned track in reference to the incident, "you try to sue me, I won't settle" "clean gun, dirty handle" and "they say they got me on camera."

The line “I hang with all felons” is also present on the song and a bad idea. Broner further raps "I'm trying to stay up out of the slammer” but the way to do that is not to hang out with felons. You are the company you keep. The Money Team and the man who has sued Broner for assault, will not be happy with the song. Broner also needs to remember that police and members of the court also listen to music. "Slammer" may full well rile them up in a legal matter that Broner needs leniency. If he is not careful, the court will make an example of him for it, due to the incendiary, unremorseful comments he has made that are clearly about the criminal case.

Vault Of 2,000 Unreleased Prince Songs Opened But Need To Be Protected From Thieves


Prince
 
Press reports indicate a vault has been opened containing 2,000 unreleased songs by the singer Prince, who died last month while having a medical emergency at his Paisley Park home and recording studios in Minnesota. The vault in his studio was opened with a drill. Prince was a real musician, who was able to compose music from start to finish, without assistance.  As a result of his songwriting ability and the convenience of having a studio at home, Prince was able to record many songs.

Prince's heirs need to increase security at Paisley Park, lest certain industry thieves pay for break-ins to steal music and release them as their own. There are songwriters and producers who have been targeted by thieves. The week the late singer Amy Winehouse died, some of her unreleased songs were stolen in a commissioned theft by a music industry person. Music producer, BT, was devastated when someone stole his home studio computer containing $100,000 in unreleased music. There are other terrible stories in this regard as well. 

The music industry is being run by very unscrupulous, greedy people, desperate for money and glory that does not belong to them. There are unscrupulous music industry people at Warner Bros and Sony Music already making greedy plans regarding Prince's unreleased music and they are preparing to rip off his heirs. Word is getting around the industry about the schemes they are planning. There's nothing more some of those untalented turds would love than to go around taking credit for a Prince song they didn't write.

Prince Reportedly Left Behind Over 2,000 Unreleased Songs

HOLLYWOOD, CA – APRIL 2 - :While Prince may be gone, that doesn’t mean the new music has to stop coming. According to Hunting For Prince’s Vault, a documentary created by the BBC that sought to unearth just how much music the star had sitting around that even his biggest fans had never had a chance to enjoy, there are thousands of songs that the public hasn’t heard yet. 

Some of the people that worked with the rock star for years estimate that there could be around 2,000 unreleased songs, and the final number might be even higher than that. All of this music is sitting in a vault at Prince’s Paisley Park estate in Minnesota, and no, that’s not a fun nickname for a studio, either—there are supposedly thousands of recordings in what looks like a bank vault. 

For the documentary, journalist and filmmaker Mobeen Azhar spoke to people connected to the legendary performer, including fellow musicians, engineers, and even those that worked on his management team and a woman who helped him organize all of this material, and they all back up the rumors that there are literally thousands of recordings that Prince never allowed out of the vault for one reason or another. 

In addition to studio recordings, the vault is also said to contain several music videos (some for songs that were also never released) and two full-length films. While he was primarily known as a musician, Prince also made a name for himself as an actor in films like Purple Rain. It’s tough to believe that there are movies featuring the Purple One that he never shared, but if anybody would do such a thing, it’s Prince...

Reports Indicate Singer Prince Left No Will


Prince
 
Legendary singer/musician/songwriter Prince died on April 21, 2016. He was cremated this past weekend and a private ceremony was held at his Paisley Park recording studio and home in Minnesota to remember his storied life. Reports indicate Prince left no will. His estate is worth approximately $100,000,000. Paisley Park and its contents is worth an estimated $10,000,000.

As Prince was a songwriter, he left behind a fortune in music. Prince's sister, Tyka Nelson, who is also a singer, is his heir. Tyka is also a mother. My advice to Tyka is this, get a good lawyer and call all the shots yourself (be careful, Warner Bros and Sony Music, are known in legal circles for bribing lawyers and judges). Set up a trust regarding Prince's estate. Prince, like me, had legal fights with the record label Warner Bros, which is a greedy, evil, unscrupulous company. The only worse one in the entertainment industry is Sony Music.  Prince stated Warner Bros made him feel like a "slave" (he wrote it on his face) and it's the exact same way they have made me feel. 


Inside Prince's gorgeous Paisley Park studios
 
Do not sell off Prince's music catalog. He fought to keep as much ownership of it as possible. He wouldn't want certain music industry people owning it. There are some greedy psychopaths in the entertainment industry circling, as they know he has died and will seek to prey upon you and your family to rip his catalog from your hands. Do not let them do that. I know how evil they can be. Therefore, be careful and protect yourself.

Prince would not want other musicians, especially those he did not approve of, traipsing through his record studios and making music there. It would have devastated him in life. Do not let this happen to him in death. However, I don't think he would mind the public visiting it to take a look at where he made his hits. I think he would like that.


Prince's sister, singer Tyka
 
Prince was also very particular about who he licensed his music to for other works. He was not into music with violent themes and other negative messages. Do not authorize such singers or rappers to sample his work. He wasn't even a fan of the sampling to begin with, as he was a real songwriter/musician who could compose music from scratch, which is sadly no longer the norm in music. Don't allow movie producers to place his music in films of a twisted or negative nature.  

Prince left behind unreleased music. Make sure to properly secure the copyrights in America. The rest of the world immediately recognizes a copyright the moment it is authored in accordance with United Nations laws, via the Berne Convention (time stamps help to secure authorship dates, regarding who did what first in the vent a dispute arises). However, in America the law requires you pay the Copyright Office a fee, in violation of international law, to protect your copyrights on U.S. shores which grants you the right to sue in federal court, in the event they are infringed. If you choose to release Prince's unreleased songs, do it through your own record company.

The Real Reason Chris Brown Is Mad At Tinashe Is Because They Were Romantically Involved



Chris Brown
 
Recently, R&B singer Chris Brown lashed out on the social networking site Instagram against female singer, Tinashe. Several female singers became angry at Brown, including Tinashe and another of his former collaborators, Zendaya, for mocking the suicide bid of recording artist, Kehlani. Brown slammed Tinashe, Zendaya and the female group Fifth Harmony.


Chris Brown and Tinashe in her music video
 
Brown is especially angry at Tinashe for a reason. Brown is upset Tinashe did not defend him in the Kehlani matter and told the world in an Entertainment Tonight interview she really did not want to work with him, stating it was the decision of her record label. Brown was livid when he found out, as he helped her career with the duet, which brought her popularity, money (sales) and other financial opportunities in the industry. Brown even promoted her on his social networking pages to over a combined 50,000,000 fans on Twitter and Instagram. Tinashe had never been so popular until she worked with him. 




Tinashe
 
Brown feels the song collaboration they did helped Tinashe's career in many ways (and it did) and as such she owed him some loyalty for the money and attention she brought him. Brown feels working with him helped her career and did nothing for his, as he is the bigger star. However, there is another reason Brown is angry. Sometimes Brown gets romantically involved with the women he does songs with, but keeps it private. Brown and Tinashe were romantically involved and kept it quiet, so for her to publicly disown Brown upset him.



Karrueche Tran
 
In other Chris Brown news, his ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, is quietly dating a blond man and separately seeing a woman. What happened with Brown cheating on her and fathering a child outside their 4-year relationship really upset her and now she doesn't know what she wants. She is keeping things private, as he will get angry at her for dating.

Senseless Violence Strikes The Music Industry Again As Rapper Mo-G Beaten Up By Drake's Entourage Over Ghostwriting Claims


Drake
 
There is a problem with violence in the music industry. People have been beaten, shot and in some cases killed by industry rivals. Recently, Toronto rapper, Mo-G posted videos on Instagram stating Drake and his collective OVO were asking him for music and paying him very little money. Shortly after, Mo-G deleted the videos and posted a photo of his face beaten bloody with the caption "This is what happens when you speak your heart." The implication online is Drake's entourage beat up Mo-G up.


Mo-G
 
Previously, Quentin Miller, was outed as Drake's ghostwriter, which turned into a bitter public dispute with rival rapper, Meek Mill. In 2014, two groupies from Instagram also accused Drake of threatening them. One of the women stated Drake sent thugs from his entourage to her apartment and they threatened her for speaking out about having sex with him. Violence and intimidation have nothing to do with music. Drake is a teen actor from a pop type show, who became a rapper. No need to try to live up to an image created in the music. It always leads to trouble.

Toronto Rapper Mo-G Beat Up After Calling Out Drake for Ghostwriting

April 1, 2016 12:58 PM - Weeks ago, Toronto rapper Mo-G posted a series of videos on Instagram talking about how Drake and his OVO crew were asking for rhymes and hooks but paying him pennies. He later deleted the videos, but that doesn’t seem like it was enough to appease some people, because today Mo-G posted a picture of his face after getting severely beaten. “This is what happens when you speak your heart,” he caption the above picture with. 

In a viral video posted to his Instagram account weeks ago, Mo-G puts Drake and his associate Oliver El-Khatib on blast, airing out what many have heard in the past: OVO uses ghostwriters. But according to Mo-G, penning hits is one thing and being compensated for his work is another. “Have you ever heard in hip-hop that mad niggas waste creativity? They make hits but never get a dollar for it, one credit for it,” he said in the videos, which have since been deleted...

Chris Brown Lashes Out Against Karrueche Tran Online Mocking Her Career


Chris Brown

Chris Brown has been lashing out against everyone online this month. First, Brown slammed his fans (Chris Brown Calls His Fans 'Sh**Heads' On Instagram For Complaining About The Price Of Items In His New Clothing Line). Then his recording artist Kevin McCall (Chris Brown In Another Social Networking Fight Threatens To Beat Producer). Yesterday, Brown lashed out against ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran.
 
Brown slammed Tran and her manager Jacob York, out of nowhere:
 
Then, Tran responded:

And Chris responded as well:

First, Chris complimented Karrueche in the song "Sorry" after their break up over him fathering a child with a woman in their circle (Chris Brown Reveals The Song 'Sorry' Is Not About Rihanna But Karrueche Tran). Then, Chris slammed Karrueche with the song "Kae" (Chris Brown Has Upset Some Fans With An Album Named After His Toddler Daughter Royalty As It Contains Sexually Explicit Lyrics, Drug References And A Diss Track About Ex-Girlfriend Karrueche Tran) and again with the tune "(Chris Brown Insults Karrueche Tran On Another New Song)." Now he has mentioned her in the remix to the song "Back To Sleep" in an apologetic manner:

"And I know we don’t speak no more
But I just wanna tell you I’m sorry
For f***in’ around with Keisha and MaKayla
For all the Georgia peaches in Decatur
For all these b****es in the elevator
I just want you to love me
Yeah baby don’t test me
You know I’ll do it
You want me to say your name girl?
Okay, Karrueche!"


Karrueche Tran
 
As a tip to Brown and all men who have behaved in a promiscuous manner and lost the person they love over said cheating, a sure way NOT to get the woman back is to date another woman and worst of all post it on social networking (as Chris did). That will not make her jealous and want you back. It will make the woman dislike or even hate you and look elsewhere for someone else. I'm not encouraging people hate each other, I'm just telling you how women think and how such things are perceived. Dating other women will only make you look like a macho man to friends whose thinking is not right. To men with their heads on straight and decent women in general, you will not look right. I'm just being honest. All the things Brown has been doing is pushing Karrueche further away. It would any woman.

Chris Brown Insults Karrueche Tran On Another New Song


Chris Brown

When R&B singer Chris Brown first accused ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, of cheating on him with rapper rival Drake, he complained that he made her life financially equal to his own, having her live in luxury. Brown’s insulted budding model and actress Tran with the song “Kae” on his current album “Royalty.” However, he has slammed her again on the song “Escape Your Love.” The lyrics are reminiscent of his complaints regarding her cheating with Drake:

Mama warned me ’bout someone like you
Feel like a ******* fool
Play with me heart, you tried
I never regret love
But sometimes it’s just better
I’m f****** fed up
Tired and jealous
Making your life better by putting my bread up
Give up the battle just to escape your love


Karrueche Tran

Brown sounds very bitter. However, as he cheated on Tran with a woman they both know, Nia Guzman, resulting in the birth of his daughter, Royalty Brown, he needs to think about things in regard to that. Tran has largely kept silent about what transpired behind the scenes. However, she did warn him that she could tell all about behind the scenes items, if he didn’t desist in making public attacks against her. Brown wants her back and is lashing out as she has not been receptive and has seen others since dumping him for cheating. He is frustrated and very upset.

Karrueche Tran and Tyson Beckford Take Another Photo Chris Brown Is Not Happy About


Karrueche Tran (center) and Tyson Beckford (right) flirt with each other

Chris Brown is not having a good week. First a woman accuses him of punching her in the face on New Years day. Then a picture surfaces of the love of his life, ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, again posing with male supermodel Tyson Beckford, in Jamaica. This past summer, Brown threatened to break Beckford's legs over a selfie he took with Tran in Las Vegas.

Tran was puckering up in the photo, blowing a kiss in Beckford's direction in the Las Vegas photo. In the pic taken on New Years, she is blowing a kiss again, while discreetly staring at Beckford in a flirty way. Tran had shown Brown some sympathy when he made suicidal posts on Instagram last month.


Chris Brown

Tran again began wearing the ring he had given her a year prior. However, she was insulted via Brown's diss track "Kae" (her nickname) from his new album "Royalty" released two weeks ago (Chris Brown Has Upset Some Fans With An Album Named After His Toddler Daughter Royalty As It Contains Sexually Explicit Lyrics, Drug References And A Diss Track About Ex-Girlfriend Karrueche Tran).

"Kae" was recorded in anger prior to Tran wearing the ring again last month. The song has upset her. Brown wrote the song in a rage when he found out she had been going on dates after their break up. However, they were no longer together and she is free to date others, as is Brown. Beckford is still offended by Brown's threats against him and his family. Brown has apologized, but the situation is still unpleasant (Brown threatened to beat Beckford's teenage son).

Chris Brown Has Upset Some Fans With An Album Named After His Toddler Daughter Royalty As It Contains Sexually Explicit Lyrics, Drug References And A Diss Track About Ex-Girlfriend Karrueche Tran


Chris Brown's "Royalty" album named after his daughter contains "parental advisory" sticker

R&B singer Chris Brown recently released a new album entitled "Royalty" named after his beautiful 1-year-old daughter. However, some fans are upset, as the album contains sexually explicit lyrics and profanity, which they are not comfortable with, given the title. In short, fans expected a more wholesome album due to it being named after Brown's daughter. The album features such song titles as "Liquor" and "Make Love." 14 of the 18 songs on the deluxe edition of the album have been labeled explicit by iTunes and other music sites. Some of the album's explicit lyrics include the lines:
"Just let me rock, f**k you back to sleep girl" - "Back To Sleep"

"Sex and Hennessey, get you w*t just a little bit" and "Oh baby, scream my name, put that p***y in my face" - "Little Bit"

"Rolled my weed up for the night/I'm tryna smoke" - "Picture Me Rollin"

"Talking all that s**t, don't mean /f**k around and go missing" - "Kae"

Speaking of that, the song "Kae" is a diss track about ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran ("Kae" is her nickname). Some of Brown's fans are not happy about this either. In the song's lyrics Brown blames Tran for not changing her ways (does not specify what) and lying to him. However, this is confusing his audience, as he is the one who secretly and accidentally fathered a child, Royalty, with another woman, Nia Guzman, while high and on liquor, in a cheating scandal that occurred during his 4-year relationship with Tran, who dumped him for it in 2015. 

"Royalty" debuted at number 3 on the Billboard Charts, with 162,000 copies sold in the first week. These were decent numbers for a major label artist in this day and age, where music by American stars is not selling well. The top sellers this year are Adele, who is British and Canadian pop star Justin Bieber. However, the sales were lower than the numbers Brown expected, leading him to chastise his supporters, calling some "fake fans."

Brown wants to be a legend like the late Michael Jackson. However, Jackson rarely used profanity and sexually explicit lyrics in his music. None of his biggest hits contain explicit lyrics. Songs with explicit lyrics do not become big classics. Music laced with profanity and sexually charged lyrics do not become legendary tunes. Music history has consistently shown they are considered dated, not timeless.

Chris Brown Accused Of Stealing J Cole Song In Copyright Infringement Allegation By Producer


Chris Brown

A producer for artist J. Cole, who goes by the moniker of Vinylz, has publicly accused singer Chris Brown of ripping off the song he produced for the rapper. Vinylz stated his preexisting track, "A Tale of 2 Cities" produced for J. Cole, has been ripped off for Brown's newly released song "Wrist."

 

J. Cole

Vinylz angrily stated on social networking regarding the infringement, "SMH, this Chris Brown 'Wrist' beat is the worst attempt at 'A Tale of Two Cities. N----- be studying my s---," tweeted Vinylz. "'How'd he get his 808 like that? What hi-hats he used?' [My] new s--- is un-Youtubeable, though."

Chris Brown Dissed And Accused Of Copying J. Cole: 'Worst Attempt At Tale Of Two Cities' 
 
Dec, 21, 2015, 03:19 PM - The New York producer Vinylz is baffled as to why Chris Brown's song "Wrist" sounds like one of the beats he made for J. Cole, and he sent a small shot at the R&B crooner on Instagram. Other people on the social media site chimed in as well. Apparently Vinylz, who's worked with people like Drake, Jay Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj and others, said "Wrist" actually sounds like Cole's "A Tale of 2 Cities," off his latest release "2014 Forest Hills" drive. But he said Brown's version doesn't match up at all, and it's a cheap imitation.

"SMH, this Chris Brown 'Wrist' beat is the worst attempt at 'A Tale of Two Cities," wrote Vinylz..."N----- be studying my s---," tweeted Vinylz. "'How'd he get his 808 like that? What hi-hats he used?' [My] new s--- is un-Youtubeable, though."...

Is One Race Superior To Others


I do not believe God created any one race smarter or stronger than another. I am of the belief God created us all as equals. We are what we become through faith and our efforts. I have been privileged to witness amazing and inspiring feats in the areas of science, medicine, education, the arts and sports, from people of many races and nationalities. I have met brilliant people from many nations, who are of different races.

The one common denominator I've found in people who have accomplished truly amazing things is not their race or nationality, but the hard work they put into what they do and not giving up when setbacks or failures occur. That is the true mark of greatness - faith and perseverance in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

The Con Artists Who Prey On Entertainers And Athletes To Their Detriment



Some sports stars have been targeted by con artists and cultists who are using and exploiting them to their detriment

My family have been in the entertainment and sports industries for decades. Both are complex complex businesses and sometimes for all the wrong reasons. Navigating the pitfalls of both, especially as it pertains to lecherous people, can be difficult. The moment anyone shows a bit of promise and there is a whiff of money and fame in the air, people latch on to them. Some are decent and will aid an entertainer or athlete in progressing their careers. However, some are frauds looking for money and fame not due to them.
Con artists aren't always easy to spot. They all aren't slick, fast talking hoodwinkers, so brazen and obvious with the fakery that you can see right through them. Some con artists have a bit of money and others do not.

However, the goal for a con artist is always unethically getting more money they are not entitled to in any measure. It is one thing to provide a genuine service worthy of pay. However, trying to manipulate and control an entertainer or athlete to leech off their fame and growing bank account, is not a service. That's an opportunist.


Lauryn Hill became mentally ill due to a guru teaching her unsound things in trying to control her and her finances

Sycophants will tell an entertainer or athlete everything they want to hear, when let's face it, we are all human and at times make mistakes that need correcting. Con artists also pretend to be experts on the aforementioned, respective fields, despite the fact they have no talent or experience for entertainment or sports in front of or behind the scenes.

I've watched as opportunists latched on to entertainers and athletes and in doing so, immediately became experts on the respective fields dispensing unproven, worthless, risky and sometimes downright dangerous advice, in trying to gain a foothold on the star's life and finances. People with a true understanding and knowledge of each industry see right through it and immediately mark it as malarkey, quackery and nonsense.


I've seen gurus, charlatans, snake oil salesmen, cultists, con artists and armchair quarterbacks latch on to and exploit entertainers and athletes with so-called advice and practices that flat-out destroyed them (all the while arrogantly bragging behind the star's back to other people that they own and control the celebrity). I've seen con artists convert entertainers and athletes from the decent religion they grew up with into dangerous ones and cults, in bids at controlling them and their burgeoning bank accounts, via deeds that ended up destroying their home life, relationships and career.

Under the aforementioned circumstances, I've seen con artists engage in manipulative acts aimed at isolating entertainers and athletes from their families, sensible industry professionals and qualified talent who are better able to aid their careers, while inducing bizarre and unsettling behavior in the star that borders on and sometimes veers into mental illness. Their families and real friends feel helpless, watching their loved one negatively change.


I've seen con artists and leeches trying to control athletes with constant flattery, superstition, alternative therapies and treatments medical science has rubbished and debunked as useless and sometimes dangerous. However, that's all they can offer because they don't know what they are doing. So quackery becomes their tool and foothold, until challenges arise. 

The easy part of an entertainer or athlete's career is the beginning when they just get signed and start to make a bit of money off initial success. The con artists and other types of leeches that cling to them in this stage, will appear to the entertainer or athlete as though they are doing something beneficial to them, when they had nothing to do with their career success at all.


Dave Chapelle became mentally ill due to a guru teaching him unsound things in trying to control him and his finances

As the career progresses and new challenges arise, this is where all the cracks will begin to show that the star must repair if they want to have long term success. Listening to leeches and con artists, who have no real experience or working knowledge of the entertainment or sports industries will lead to the demise of your career, because they are not equipped to help you and will disappear when that decline happens.
A real entertainment or sports industry professional, who knows what they are doing will tell you the truth.

They will provide positive feedback and encouragement, but they will also tell you the truth, especially when and where you are going wrong. In their professional capacity, they will also use sound advice, good judgment and tried and true methods to develop and grow your career.

Ashley apologized for her insults, but then tried to turn it around stating Rasheeda started it, when no such thing happened. Ashley is an arrogant young singer who believes she has made it simply by being on the show. However, as stated in past columns, she has created such a bad image for herself, even with all the exposure from “Love And Hip Hop Atlanta” and two slickly produced songs, there is still no buzz surrounding her, as the public deems her a home wrecker.

Britney Spears Having A Rough Time Again


Britney Spears (2012)
 
I received word that there is trouble in Britney Spears' camp. The 35-year-old singer, who was famously placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold in Los Angeles on two separate occasions in 2008, suffering from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, is getting agitated with the state of her life and career. Spears has been married and divorced twice and experienced failed engagements.

Spears most recent albums have flopped on the charts, leaving her owing her record label Sony money for expensive songs, music videos and marketing that did not pan out in the sales department. As her concert sales began to decline as well, Spears took up a residency in Las Vegas, Nevada.


Spears is obsessing over her career and changing looks, as she is showing the signs of aging. Spears has aged fast as the stress of the wild life she was living in her twenties, which entailed illegal narcotics, alcoholism and wild partying took its toll. The combination of 10 pharmaceutical drugs to keep her severe mental illness under control also aided in aging the star's appearance.

Spears has turned to plastic surgery to help her with her body. However, she did not want excessive procedures done to her face, which is showing the signs of aging more than others her age for the aforementioned reasons. In the pop music world, this is a dilemma, as through marketing practices, labels have trained consumers to believe only youth is buyable. This is traditionally how pop music has worked, unlike R&B and rock, where artists' ages do not take precedence over the quality of the music.

Raheeda Threatens To Rip Up Ashley Nicole's Record Deal On 'Love And Hip Hop Atlanta'

 

Kirk Frost and wife Rasheeda

Atlanta rapper Rasheeda Frost grew tired of aspiring singer, Ashley Nicole, flirting with her unfaithful husband, Kirk Frost and disrespecting her in so many ways. As a result of Ashley Nicole's arrogance, Rasheeda, co-owner of D-Lo Entertainment, threatened to tear up the five album record deal Kirk issued the wannabe star with a bigger mouth than singing vocals. 


Rasheeda auctioning off Kirk Frost's belongings without his consent gaining six figures in the process

Ashley Nicole crossed the line when she yelled at Rasheeda at an auction of Kirk's possessions, conducted without his permission. Ashley barked at Rasheeda, "It's not my fault he cheated on you." Who told her to say that. Rasheeda became angry and informed Ashley, "You don't have two nickels to rub together. You don't have a record deal. Your deal is null and void."

Rasheeda had a change of heart and has given her a second chance, with the stipulation she stops being arrogant and disrespectful. It's a bad idea the Frost family sign Ashley Nicole, who has already run afoul of the public with her arrogance. She is a marginally talented, disrespectful singer, who will tear their marriage and family apart if allowed. D-Lo entertainment has not found the next Whitney Houston, which makes Ashley Nicole's attitude not worth the trouble and not worth the financial investment. When she gets dropped, many will not want to work with Ashley over her attitude.
