Pretty Ricky vs. Pleasure P

Pleasure P Molestation Scandal Continues

The new Pretty Ricky sans Pleasure P

Pleasure P, also known as Marcus Cooper, is currently under fire for child molestation. As previously stated, it is alleged he molested his 3-year old niece and 4-year-old nephew when he was 14-years-old. The case was sealed by the court, which enabled him to get a record deal as a teenager, with the group Pretty Ricky.

Considering their fanbase is and was largely comprised of preteen and teenage girls, he should not have been in the group, as he posed a danger to his primary audience.

A 2007 case revealed a massive legal squabble in Miami federal court between the two parties. Bluestar Entertainment of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a city in an adjacent county to Miami (Dade county), sued Pleasure P for copyright infringement and breach of contract. Bluestar, run by the dad of the three remaining original members of Pretty Ricky, had Pleasure P under an exclusive artist and music publishing contract, in conjunction with Atlantic/Warner Bros.

The Judiciary Report did a search of Pacer and found the lawsuit Bluestar Entertainment International v. Marcus Cooper (Pleasure P), filed under the case number 07-23245, presided over by Judge Hoeveler with Magistrate Judge Stephen Brown.

They sued him for breach of contract and demanded legal fees and punitive damages. They stated he breached the contract and was about to violate it again ("anticipatory breach"). The filing states he was performing for others and refusing to do promotional appearances for Bluestar, apparently with Pretty Ricky, which is confusing, as the group maintained last week that he was kicked out.

Bluestar was represented by Richard Wolfe's law firm, Wolfe & Goldstein, who is also the alleged legal outfit that had the Pleasure P molestation case sealed, via his partner Goldstein, as revealed by leaked documents on Twitter.

Bluestar requested the court bar Pleasure P from recording with anyone else, which based on the language in the lawsuit, he was threatening to do. The lawsuit was settled on September 4, 2009 and as such dismissed with prejudice. Pleasure P is currently on the Atlantic/Warner Bros. label, but still listed as a Bluestar solo artist.

Recently, Pleasure P received Grammy nominations for his solo CD and that's when the scandal erupted, unearthing his child molestation case.

Side Bar: why does Pretty Ricky's music have to be so explicit and profane. It is not necessary. It is an item of concern, especially when one realizes their audience is mostly underage youth.

Pretty Ricky: Pleasure P Did It!

Pleasure P

Members of the Miami quartet, Pretty Ricky, have denounced their brother, Pleasure P, A/K/A Marcus Cooper, as a pedophile that molested a 4-year-old boy and as such, was kicked out of the group and charged in criminal court.

The record remained sealed, until someone on Twitter released documents, purportedly apart of the case, without redacting them. The child's name should have been redacted for privacy reasons. The Twitter account has since been suspended, but the details and screenshots are available on other websites.

Pleasure P denied the allegations in a statement, but when your own brothers are saying you are guilty of child molestation, that is a massive dent in your credibility. I'm not convinced he did not do this. If he did do this, he needs counseling and help, as such crimes are a danger to children everywhere.

The head of their label, Blue Star, a subsidiary of Warner Bros, has agreed to do an interview in coming days, stating he will discuss the case on the Word On The Streets website.

“Unfortunately due to Pleasure P’s lawyer filing an injunction against us from speaking, we are not at liberty to speak about the case.” How ever we will let it be known that we did kick him out of the group, he did not leave on is own free will. We did a deal with Atlantic via Craig Calman that we would let him out of the group if they bought out his contract with us and Blue Star which is the official label of Pretty Ricki. We are not at liberty to discuss why we kicked him out of the group.

Update: The CEO Of Blue Star has requested an exclusive interview. According to him he was there in the court room when it all went down. Not only that since we broke the story, it is being reported that it was a boy he molested. Stay tuned as more updates will be posted here.

Pleasure P Accused Of Child Molestation

"Pleasure P" real name Marcus Cooper, formerly of the music group, Pretty Ricky

Does the P in "Pleasure P" stand for pedophile. That's what people are asking today. Someone purporting to be the daughter of a Miami lawyer, has spoken out on a Twitter page, claiming Pleasure P, an ousted member of the Warner Bros. group Pretty Ricky, was convicted of child molestation in 2006, which lead to him being forced out of the quartet.

"AGoldsteinGirl" stated her dad is owed a large sum of money for representing Pleasure P, in keeping the alleged misdeeds he was convicted of, out of the public eye, enabling him to get another record deal. Ironically, he is currently on tour with pedophile singer, R Kelly, who was married to the late singer Aaliyah, when she was 15 and he 27.

The Judiciary Report did an online search of the judge's name/signature that appears on the leaked document and there are other unrelated documents online signed by a judge "Andrew L. Siegel" of the Broward County Circuit Court in South Florida. However, the Broward County Court website revealed no record of the case, which "Spectacular" of Pretty Ricky referred to as "sealed."

This is just sad. Hollyweird indeed.

R. Kelly at Fox Theatre

...the self-proclaimed “Pied Piper of R&B” is currently touring to support Untitled, which came out earlier this week. (This is also Kelly’s first tour since his 2008 acquittal on child pornography charges.) His first single, a duet with Keri Hilson called “Number One,” is exactly what you might expect from Kells: sexual swagger over a radio-ready R&B instrumental. Also performing will be Pleasure P (formerly of Pretty Ricky) and newcomer K. Michelle.
