Singer Lauryn Hill Was 3-Hours Late For Show Prompting Promoter Refunds In What Is An Ongoing Problem Due To A Cult

The Fugees at the Grammy Awards (Lauryn Hill is pictured center)

 

New Jersey born singer/actress, Lauryn Hill, was one of the brightest recording stars 15-years ago. Hill's 1994 debut in the hip hop trio, the Fugees, brought her to the attention of the music industry via their first album "Blunted On Reality." The Fugees' Grammy winning 1996 sophomore album "The Score" put Hill on the map, making her a big star. Hill's soulful, beautiful voice became a hit. The album went on to sell a reported 17,000,000 copies worldwide.

In 1997, Hill took a break from the Fugees and recorded her debut solo album in Kingston, Jamaica at Bob Marley's Tuff Gong studio. Hill named the Grammy winning album "The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill." The album launched her into superstardom, selling a reported 19,000,000 copies.  Hill's talent led to many collaborations, including the R&B hit "A Rose Is Still A Rose" with music legend, the queen of soul, Aretha Franklin.

Hill was met with massive success, having racked up millions in record sales and dollars. Then came the guru and her descent into mental illness. As has become the norm in Hollywood, when stars meet with success, they are approached by leeches, con artists, cults and gurus (crazy Kabbalah and Scientology). Those that let these unsavory characters into their lives, often meet with heartbreak, financial loss and mental illness.

Hill, who was able to record songs and do shows at a decent rate, was now struggling to get on stage or into a recording studio booth, all due to the mentally detrimental brainwashing she was subjected to by a cultist named "Brother Anthony." Hill's problems were largely due to said spiritual advisor "Brother Anthony" in conduct fellow Fugee described as, "Some real cult s**t."

Hill was being brainwashed and manipulated. Hill stated in an interview that she went through a time of isolation from the world. Isolating people from their family and friends, who can talk sense into them, is a primary tactic of cults. Psychologists often ascribe said isolation techniques to cults. Hill is still damaged from what she was exposed to, as it destroyed her peace of mind, concentration, focus and sense of balance. She no longer looked happy. Hill began coming across as a depressed person.

If someone is mentally feeding you detrimental things that negatively impact your thought process, mood and outlook on life, of course you're going to become depressed. I encourage people not to think the worst in life. Try to be happy. Don't harm others and don't allow others to harm you. If someone brings negativity and sadness to your life, recognize it as toxic and back away from it. The real God wants people to live with joy and hope, not depression and always thinking of the worst things that could happen. Your mind is not built for that negativity, so stop letting it control and overwhelm you.

After brainwashing from the cult of "Brother Anthony" Hill has been dressing in a manner that has drawn unflattering comments online and she is routinely late to shows 

 

This month, promoters in Atlanta, Georgia had to issue a refund to concertgoers, as Hill showed up 3-hours late to a show she was scheduled to perform. Hill took to the social networking website Facebook to explain to fans who were upset by her tardiness, "I don't show up late to shows because I don't care. And I have nothing but Love and respect for my fans. The challenge is aligning my energy with the time, taking something that isn't easily classified or contained, and trying to make it available for others."

Lauryn, that's a load of crap (LOL). Whoever told you that has done you a disservice, whether intentionally or unintentionally. There's no need for "aligning my energy with time" as you've stated. You just need to align your butt with a clock...as in show up on time (LOL).

Seriously, I know a lot about musicians, music and its history. I'm a walking encyclopedia of music. Therefore, I can tell you what you are suffering from is a form of stage fright. Some singers even have what I refer to as recording fright. There was a singer from the 1960s and 1970s that I read about, who could never get into the studio on time to record. It was her nerves. Label executives would have to try everything, from relaxing rides to flowers, to cajole her into recording studios. It would take hours, as she was experiencing studio fright. Studio time was booked and being wasted at a rate of hours per day, while they tried to coax her into recording studios in New York. She had a real problem with this and it cost her money in studio time (the label charged it to her royalties) and productivity (she could have recorded far more songs in her career had she not incurred this problem).

Lauryn Hill is having difficulties due to a cult

You need to relax and let go of the new age thinking about aligning your energy, as there is no such thing. Drink some green tea, watch a relaxing show or listen to some soothing music, think positive thoughts, then go out there and perform and on time. Alignment doesn't matter. It is all in your head. I think you should spend time with a therapist to let go of all the bad things you have been taught by the cult. It's referred to as deprogramming. It's great to have faith in God. The trouble comes when people try to add manipulative things to it as a means of controlling others, which God never intended.

My advice to Hill is also to tone down the heavily criticized bright make up, wear clothes with neutral, complimentary tones (more pared down) as opposed to the bright multi-colored, multi-patterned outfits that have provoked criticism online and sing. A good singer is a good singer, no matter what time of day or where the vocalist may be. A singer should get proper rest, stay hydrated (but don't overdo it, as you can drink too much water to the point it becomes life threatening), stay away from cigarettes and drugs and do vocal warm ups before performances.

While under the tutelage of "Brother Anthony" Hill also stopped paying her taxes and went broke. Typical cult stuff. Wesley Snipes had also joined a type of cult who deceived him into thinking he didn't have to pay taxes in America. The U.S. government sentenced him to 5-years in prison. Snipes served 3-years and was released early for good behavior. Hill also went to prison for months, due to tax evasion.

Lauryn Hill's new look is being criticized by the public as she appears disheveled and not coordinated

 

For Hill to have sold 19,000,000 records of her debut solo album and over 20,000,000 albums with the Fugees, means she earned millions of dollars. Hill made millions more from touring, songwriting and music publishing. Hill had at least $25,000,000 at one point and by all indications, did not live a very lavish lifestyle. Yet ended up squatting in a New Jersey house and facing eviction.

Lauryn Hill: I don't show up late to shows because I don't care

May 09, 2016 at 3:05 PM, updated May 09, 2016 at 3:33 PM - Lauryn Hill says that she will 'make it up' to fans after arriving two hours late to a concert in Atlanta and performing for fewer than 40 minutes. After Lauryn Hill took some heat for showing up more than two hours late for her show in Atlanta on Friday night, she issued a response on Facebook, saying her arrival time had more to do with "the artistic process" than anything else.

"I don't show up late to shows because I don't care," she wrote Sunday. "And I have nothing but Love and respect for my fans. The challenge is aligning my energy with the time, taking something that isn't easily classified or contained, and trying to make it available for others."

According to media and fan reports from the concert, Hill arrived more than two hours after her scheduled start time to some boos from the audience. After less than an hour performing, her microphone was cut off at 11 p.m. due to a venue curfew. On Twitter, Hill's lateness became a meme and and of itself, with some chastising fans who expected her to be anything but tardy, given Hill's history of showing up late to shows.

"I don't have an on/off switch," Hill continued in the statement (see the full message below). "I am at my best when I am open, rested, sensitive and liberated to express myself as truthfully as possible. For every performance that I've arrived to late, there have been countless others where I've performed in excess of two hours, beyond what I am contracted to do, pouring everything out on the stage."

Hill, 40, who grew up in South Orange and is scheduled to play Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City on May 13, attributed her unpredictable concert start times to her "perfectionist tendencies," and said reports of her lateness left out some details...

Lauryn Hill fans can get refund for Atlanta concert

 

May 10, 2016 - 6:16 PM - Lauryn Hill fans that attended the singer’s disastrous Atlanta show at Chastain Park Amphitheater can receive a full refund. Hill showed up more than two hours late to a recent show at the venue and was only able to perform for less than 40 minutes due to the amphitheater’s 11 p.m. curfew. She later issued a statement telling fans that she will make it up to them. No further details have been released at this time.

Live Nation’s Director of Marketing, Holly Clausen, said she can’t speak on all venues and musicians, but they’ve never had an artist show up nearly two and a half hours late to a scheduled show before, so they’ve never had to issue refunds in this manner. “We’re doing this because she only performed for 37 minutes,” she said. Clausen said it is “not for public knowledge” whether Hill was paid for the show.

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.

Lauryn Hill Sentenced To 3-Months House Arrest For Tax Evasion And...

9-Months Supervised Release

Lauryn Hill

Sony Music singer Lauryn Hill, was sentenced to 3-months house arrest and 9 months supervised release for deliberately failing to pay taxes on millions of dollars in income. Considering the gravity of the tax crime, that was a relatively light sentence.

Actor Wesley Snipes was sentenced to 5-years in prison for not paying taxes on millions of dollars in income for over a decade. However, he provoked the government telling them lines from his movies such as "always bet on black" in challenging their case against him. When I read he said that I giggled and thought to myself of Wesley, "You’re going to JAILLLLLLL!" What did you tell them that for. However, in other ways his sentence is also just, as he beat ex-girlfriend Halle Berry and made her deaf in one ear, which must have been devastating for her. Snipes was released last month after serving over 3-years on his sentence.

Only fight the government in court when you are in the right, not in the wrong. And tax evasion is being in the wrong, as it is a crime. Hill was honest with the court, admitting what she’d done. She also equated her recording career at Sony to "slavery." At the end of the day, she knew she had to pay her taxes. She needs to be thankful they did not put her in jail and for years.

Wyclef Jean Slammed By Bob Marley's Son For Claiming Lauryn Hill Tricked Him Into Believing He Is The Father Of Her Child

 

Lauryn Hill

 

Wyclef Jean's new autobiography put former Fugees band mate Lauryn Hill's dirty laundry on display, slamming her for tricking him into believing he was the father of her son, Zion David. In actuality, athlete Rohan Marley, the son of Jamaican reggae legend, Bob Marley had fathered Hill's child and the two later had more children.

Hill knew Jean was married, but carried on an affair with him anyway, upsetting his long suffering wife. Hill even wrote songs about him. The affair ended the Grammy winning band, but not the speculation over what transpired between the two.

 

Wyclef Jean

 

Rohan Marley has slammed Jean's tawdry claims in the book. Marley stated Jean knew it was not his child and writing about it is a ploy to shift copies of the autobiography. Jean countered, if he had believed it was not his child, he would not have showed up at the hospital for the boy's birth.
It's kind of odd, both Hill and Jean are in trouble with the IRS. Hill for tax avoidance, upon which she is waiting sentencing regarding jail and Jean for stealing charity money from Yele, set up to collect funds for Haitian earthquake survivors.
  
Side Bar: seriously, if there is a dispute about paternity and a Marley is involved, it is safe to assume the dad is a Marley. Bob Marley had more kids than dreads on his head.

However, she is in the dock this week for not paying her income taxes in the United States of America. Hill pled guilty to tax evasion, regarding the time period between 2005-2007, when she earned $1,800,000 and did not pay a dime to the U.S. Treasury in taxes. 

Hill has struggled with mental illness during the past few years, under the tutelage of a guru descried as a charlatan that also led comedian Dave Chapelle astray

She faces a possible prison sentence for this offense. America is bankrupt and the I.R.S. has been clamping down on tax cheats in a bid to boost income to the Treasury. A number of Hollywood stars and the main cult in Hollywood, Kabbalah, have been engaging in tax evasion, scams and financial rip-offs, designed to cheat the government.
