Rachel Roy And Rita Ora Backtracking On Brags About Cheating With Jay Z After Beyonce’s Angry Fans Slam Them Online

Jay Z and Beyonce
 

Rachel Roy and singer Rita Ora are back tracking on brags they made online, in response to singer Beyonce’s new album, correctly accusing husband, Jay Z of cheating. The Judiciary Report has it on very good authority that Jay Z cheated with both women. He also cheated on Beyonce with singers Rihanna and Blu Cantrell, whom his daughter is named after.

It was unwise for Beyonce to expect fidelity from a man like Jay Z. From the beginning of his career he has slept with every woman he can. Prior to becoming a rapper, when he was a crack cocaine dealer, he used drug money to get women. He has been promiscuous for a longtime and has no intention of changing. He married Beyonce for bragging rights. Then his protégé Rihanna became more famous for a time and he had regrets. Jay Z has cheated with Rihanna the most. Jay Z only loves himself, money and fame. However, Rihanna has kept her mouth shut, as she is afraid of him and what he would do to her career.

Ora is trying to get out of her contract with Jay Z’s Roc Nation, having filed a lawsuit right after he got her sued and humiliated online, due to giving her false assurances about unlawful copyright theft and invasive conduct. Roy is no longer married to Jay Z’s former partner, Dame Dash, so she was showing off online. Who told them to do that (LOL). Neither Roy or Ora banked on Beyonce’s fans reacting so virulently and threatening to beat and kill them (which is wrong by the way, stop threatening people). They also did think through the consumer consequences, as people will boycott Roy and Ora’s products over messing with someone‘s spouse and make it worse bragging about it.

Rita Ora inappropriately hugging and leaning on Jay Z
 

The way I see it is this, when I read about Beyonce’s lyrics, calling out a “Becky with good hair” for cheating with her husband, I knew it wasn’t me and didn‘t apply to me, so I ignored it. That’s how most people looked at the lyrics. The mere fact Ora and Roy got their drawers all in a knot and responded, arrogantly showing off about it on social networking, was a dead giveaway regarding all the rumors in the industry about them cheating with Jay Z. If it doesn’t apply to you, why get cocky, reference it on social networking in a sly way and take a dig at Beyonce for singing it. You outed yourselves. You waded into that with your behavior - don’t cry victim. You should have kept your mouths shut like 3D forehead Rihanna.

Jay Z and Rihanna

 

In short, stop messing with people’s spouses. At the end of the day, marriage is sacred. No one should be cheating with anyone’s spouse. It's a hurtful, damaging thing. People’s marriages should have a chance to succeed without outside interference.

Music Producer Dr. Luke Denies Claim Sony Set To Drop Him Over Kesha Rape Allegations

Dr. Luke and Kesha

Music Producer, Dr. Luke, 42, was hit with allegations of drugging and raping his recording artist, Kesha. Dr. Luke signed Kesha to his Kemosabe Records imprint, distributed by Sony Music. The producer claimed Kesha, 28, was like a little sister to him. However, a year ago Kesha went public with claims Dr. Luke drugged and raped her. He has denied the allegations.

Kesha sued to be released from her contract with Kemosabe Records and its parent company, Sony, but a judge refused her request, over claims Dr. Luke invested $60,000,000 in her career. Dr. Luke is a liar. He did not invest $60,000,000 in Kesha's career. Not even at the height of Michael Jackson's fame in the 1980s did his former label, which is now Sony Music, invest such a figure in his career. That is considered a staggering amount to invest in an artist. It is pure garbage. 

Kesha crying in court

A video tape deposition was released from a previous, unrelated lawsuit, revealing Kesha denying under oath that Dr. Luke raped her. However, Kesha states she and her family were threatened by Dr. Luke if she did not retract the rape and drugging claims, via denying it during the deposition.

The public has been slamming Dr. Luke on social networking, referring to him as a rapist, while demanding "Free Kesha." Yesterday, articles were published by various websites stating Sony Music is about to drop Dr. Luke. However, he denies the claims, "This is not true. Luke has an excellent relationship with Sony. His representatives are in regular contact with executives at the highest levels at Sony and this has never come up."

Report: Sony Music to Drop Dr. Luke
 

Sony Music will reportedly dump mega-producer Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald due to the public-relations nightmare that’s resulted from pop-star Kesha’s sexual-abuse allegations against him and the tense court battles to get her out of a contract with him. “The fact that this hasn’t already been taken care of is confusing, especially for people in the building,” one insider told The Wrap on Wednesday. 

Because Gottwald has never been charged in court, his exit from Sony would have to be mutual and likely negotiated. (Gottwald has always denied the accusations, which included allegations of rape.)

A New York judge ruled last month that Kesha cannot exit from her contract with Gottwald, after hearing testimony that the producer invested $60 million in her career and allowed her to make music without his involvement. In a separate statement, Gottwald's lawyer denied the report: "This is not true. Luke has an excellent relationship with Sony."...

Chris Brown In Another Social Networking Fight Threatens To Beat Producer

Chris Brown
 

Chris Brown is going through another bipolar disorder outburst on social networking. This coupled with the fact he is heavily using drugs and drinking again, whilst not taking his medicine as instructed, is compounding an already bad situation. Brown is currently facing several lawsuits for assault, his ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, still has not come back to him and his fans overwhelmingly rejected the prices of all the items in his new fashionline that was unveiled this week. Brown's current album "Royalty" has also stalled at 300,000 copies in America.

Kevin McCall

Today, Brown began ranting against singer/music producer Kevin McCall on the social networking website Instagram. McCall is signed to Chris Brown's CBE (Chris Brown Entertainment) subsidiary record label company. Sony Music is CBE's parent label. Brown has signed artists who have met with moderate success. 

Chris Brown's profanity laced threat against Kevin McCall posted to Instagram (redacted by the Judiciary Report)

McCall has been arguing with Brown to let him out of his contract, which would permit him to leave the label. Brown became angry at the whole incident hit social networking via his and McCall's accounts. Brown invoked the Bloods Piru gang he joined for protection from select people in the entertainment industry. Brown threatened to kill McCall, via telling him to Google his home address and show up for violence.

Rather than stating the phrase, "I'm gonna put the fear of God in you" Brown changed it to, "I'm gonna put the fear of the devil in you." Brown belittled McCall for being a churchgoing Christian, contrasting it with his life as a member of the deadly Bloods Piru. Brown's fans immediately became alarmed and begged him to stop making threats, lest he ends up arrested. Brown then deleted the post. However, some people saved copies of it and posted it on other sites.

Singer Kesha Cries In Court As Judge Refuses To Release Her From Sony Music Contract Tied To The Man She Says Raped Her (Dr. Luke)

Kesha crying in court

Sony Music singer, Kesha, real name, Kesha Sebert, burst into tears in Manhattan Supreme Court today as judge, Shirley Kornreich, refused to let her out of her music recording contract, after she alleged her producer, Dr. Luke, real name, Luke Gottwald, raped her at age 18.  

I disagree with the judge's decision in part. The reason the judge did not want to invalidate Kesha's contract is it would set a precedent that would allow thousands of other entertainers and sports stars to invalidate their recording contracts. This would lead to any artist citing the case and breaking their contract, after labels have invested millions in their careers.

However, the judge could have placed an injunction and restraining order against Gottwald, barring him from directly contacting her. It should be noted, it is being stated that Sony Music offered to allow Kesha to work with another producer, but she is worried the company would not promote her music if she did so. Kesha should have taken that offer, as that was the only way to professionally cut ties with Dr. Luke.

Dr. Luke and Kesha

Many women hate reporting rape to authorities, but it is necessary for a number of reasons. We see that in this case. The judge has very little to work with, legally known as "insufficient evidence." Kesha should have went to the police after the alleged rape. A rape kit could have provided evidence and would have been a very useful tool in court today.

The judge would not have invalidated her recording contract, because in the eyes of the court Sony Music is not the offender. However, it would have labeled Dr. Luke an offending party, if the rape kit supported her claims, which would have meant a restraining order and injunction could have been issued against him personally. He would have also face criminal charges in a separate legal action filed by prosecutors in criminal court.

The music industry is very strange. Women have been raped by connected, wealthy men and in some cases women (there are cases of famous lesbians/bisexuals in the music industry raping other women). Some have been drugged. Others have been threatened with the destruction of their careers and income if they did not have sex with the offender (which is rape as well). Some have been threatened stating harm would be done to their families if they did not sexually submit (which is also rape).

Toni Braxton 'Unbreak My Heart' Lifetime Biopic Movie Glossed Over Many Pertinent Facts

Toni Braxton's "Unbreak My Heart"

On Saturday January 23, 2016, Lifetime aired the Toni Braxton biopic "Unbreak My Heart" executive produced by the singer. The film glossed over a number of pertinent facts in Braxton's life and those associated with her music career. Audiences online on social networking interpreted LaFace Records CEO and music producer, L.A. Reid, as the bad guy, blaming him for Braxton's financial downfall.

Some on social networking also slammed Reid's ex-wife, former recording artist and music manager, Perri "Pebbles" Reid, for Braxton's financial fall as well. However, Pebbles was not a party in the record deal. A few also blamed singer/producer, Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, who was the co-owner of LaFace Records.

LaFace's parent company, Arista Records, largely owned by music veteran, Clive Davis, made the lion's share of the money. As previously stated in the column, subsidiary label deals, such as the one LaFace Records and Arista Records entered into via a joint venture, always ends up in the artist getting less money, when one of the two other parties does not take a lesser share of the profits. The only way such a deal works to all involved is if the subsidiary and or parent company takes a few points/percent less in the deal. 

All these recording contracts are is a chance to earn money and become famous. An artist is given a loan "an advance" to record an album and cover basic expenses, but that money is recoupable from future record sales. This means it is a loan the entertainer has to pay back before you see any profit as an artist.

When you record for a label like LaFace Records, they will get you the best producers, songs and music videos money can buy. This means your budget will be far greater than a label with lesser resources. However, you have to sell enough albums and singles to recoup those costs from the loan "advance" before you see any financial profit. None of it is guaranteed.

Toni Braxton today

What you are paying for with a big label is their connections via access to top producers, video directors and promotional opportunities on famous television shows and music channels. Indie labels (independent/smaller labels) usually have far less or no connections, which means less people will hear your work (however, the internet and social networking is evening out the playing field where anyone can access your music and videos). 

If your album flops, you don't have to pay the loan ("advance") back. Therefore, you aren't on the hook for loan "advance." However, your album flopping means you will lose your record deal and not have a career as a recording artist (unless you get another deal, which only happens half the time after a flopped debut). The record company retains the view they are putting hundreds of thousands of dollars (sometimes it hits over a million) into launching the recording artist's career, with no guaranty they will see any return on their investment, which entitles them to the greater share of the profits.

It's an industry where you can walk in off the street penniless and become a millionaire entertainer. Labels believe they are to be handsomely rewarded for extending the opportunity of a lifetime, which they should be. However, record deals start off with a very low royalty rate and truthfully, the labels could give a bit more of a percentage to the artist to start. 

Artists need lawyers to properly explain to them what they are signing  Artists also need good, honest managers who have a proper understanding of the music industry and its practices. Braxton's lawyer and manager failed her in this regard. After Braxton's debut album was successful, her manager should have renegotiated her record deal with the assistance of her attorney.

Still from the TV movie "Unbreak My Heart"

Braxton sold 4,000,000 copies of her debut, a certified hit record, which qualified her for a higher royalty rate. LaFace did not tell her this information (though they knew). Neither did her manager and separately lawyer, who may or may not have known. Once again, a more experienced manager and an entertainment industry lawyer would have known these things.

Braxton also made a big mistake in embarking on a massive tour, running up a $4,000,000 tab on staff, travel and sets, with no sponsor. An experienced manager would have known this. Another option would have been Braxton being an opening act for a largely successful veteran artist, where she would not have to shoulder all the cost for an entire tour.

The record industry in America is suffering from its lowest sales to date. People in America are not buying music like they used to do. Recording budgets are lower than ever. Many perks that artists used to enjoy are gone. If any of Braxton's hit records had been released today, they would have sold far less records than she did in the 1990s.

Many modern artists are very cocky and rude with older artists who are no longer enjoying hit records. However, most artists today have even shorter careers than stars in the 1980s and 1990s. It's a cycle and it's shorter than ever. Thing is to be smart about your entertainment career and fame. Learn all you can before you go into it and don't spend unwisely.

A tweet on Twitter regarding the bad casting in the TV movie "Unbreak My Heart" 

Braxton stated this film was a chance to show the world she wasn't some dumb artist, who spent all her money. Braxton is blaming her financial falls on LaFace and Artista. However, the movie glossed over the fact that after LaFace gave her $22,000,000 and renegotiated her recording contract for a higher royalty rate, she did some massive personal spending, as reflected in her second bankruptcy filing.

Even fellow LaFace recording star Usher stated Braxton spent too much money, stating if you are given "$100 you don't spend $99." Braxton has been living lavishly for years, but it is always good to save for a rainy day. When one does a tour or business venture, register it as a corporation, that way you aren't personally liable if things go wrong. Make sure you obtain proper insurance and disclose all pertinent facts. Braxton left out some of her health ailments in trying to obtain insurance, as most companies will not underwrite a star with a Lupus created heart condition.  

The film also left out some of Braxton's sex partners, making her look like a virgin until she met her husband Keri Lewis. Braxton's past sex partners include actor Shamar Moore and L.A. Reid's brother, Bryant Reid, among others. Toni and sister Tamar Braxton were known in the industry for being promiscuous at that time.

LaFace was right to try to rein in Braxton's overly sexual image. People have heavily criticized Braxton for her overt sexual content and raunchy appearance. 99 percent of artists who become true legends, don't have content that is sexually explicit. It detracts from the music and is considered a gimmick.

At the end of the day, Braxton's financial troubles have overshadowed her career. She is most remembered for her financial fall and not her music. No artist wants that, but that is what has happened in this case. Braxton and her family have also strayed far from their roots and it has caused them a world of emotional pain. Braxton's dad, a minister, cheated on her mom in conduct that almost destroyed their family. The Braxton sisters are now mixed up with Hollywood cults, rendering them spiritually confused and vulnerable to trouble.

Braxton's story should be a learning experience for anyone seeking to become an entertainer. Keep your feet on the ground, trust no one in the industry and save money when you can. Braxton's career went into freefall in the space of a few weeks when her album "More Than A Woman" flopped. She has not had a hit since "Secrets." That's how the industry goes. You have to make the most of success while it's there and not be fooled into thinking money will always be coming in from an entertainment career. Spend your money wisely and invest it properly.

Negotiations continue in what promises to be one of the biggest sporting events in history - the planned fight between undefeated American boxer, Floyd Mayweather and Filipino champ, Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather released a photo to social networking showing the two during a meeting negotiating the most lucrative bout in boxing history. The historic payday will net both boxers a 60/40 split of at least $200,000,000. Most importantly, boxing fans would finally get the fight everyone has been waiting for.

So while we wait y’all go TELL A FRIEND to download Shots ASAP so I can keep you all updated on the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight…”

The ball has been rolling for a while yet this picture provides a breath of fresh air to the boxing public who may have been disheartened by the gruelling and long talks that have taken place. With the let down of the fight not being announced on Super Bowl night, one can only hope both men agree terms and set up this mega fight.

Manny Pacquiao Gives Floyd Mayweather A January 31, 2015 Deadline To Sign Contract For Potential May 2, 2015 Fight

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao

Beloved boxing star, Manny Pacquiao, has issued a January 31, 2015 deadline to his top rival, undefeated boxer, Floyd Mayweather, to sign contracts for their potential May 2, 2015 fight,  tentatively scheduled to take place in Las Vegas, Nevada at the MGM. Pacquiao is ready to go. However, Mayweather has not signed the contract, in what would be the most lucrative fight in boxing history.

Pacquiao told the Los Angeles Times newspaper, "My promoter and I, we've already agreed to the terns and conditions of whatever he wants. We're just waiting on the signed contract from him. That's the hard part - if they will fight or not. We have to know soon, because if they will not fight, we can move on and choose another opponent. We have a deadline - this month."

Top Boxers Refuse To Sign With Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports

Beyonce looking over the shoulder of her husband Jay Z who has been sending his mistresses, Rihanna and Rita Ora to have sex with athletes as an inducement to sign with Roc Nation Sports

TMZ is reporting a number of top boxers are refusing to sign with Jay Z's newly established Roc Nation Sports. Champion, Adrien Broner, was the first to lash out against Jay Z's tactics. TMZ is now reporting three more top boxers have rejected Roc Nation Sports as well. The company is new with no understand of boxing or experience in the field.

The Judiciary Report knows for a fact that two top promoters, one in America, are angry at Jay Z trying to poach their boxers that they've spent good money developing into champions. It's greedy and disgusting. You do all the work and thieving Jay Z resorts to illegal tactics to get the profits. Forbes magazine slammed this unlawful conduct by Jay Z, who still has not learned his lesson.

It wouldn't be so terrible if Jay Z knew what he is doing, but he doesn't. He is a thief and a fraud pretending to be a manager. So much illegality goes into his business deals that it casts a wide net of trouble and legal culpability regarding all who get involved with him. Jay Z does not care about these athletes and is seeking to financially and socially exploit them. 

As the Judiciary Report has repeatedly stated in a number of past articles, boxing is a difficult and complex sport with major liability and grueling hard work for any kind of payoff. At the end of the day, Jay Z knows nothing about boxing and will damage boxer's careers with these delusions of grandeur he is operating under. Furthermore, the only fight Jay Z's had is against his sister-in-law Solange...and she won (haha).

Roc Nation Sports Rejected By Three More Boxing Champs

1/18/2015 12:45 AM PST -  Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports is trying to change the game of professional boxing ... courting three of the biggest stars in the sweet science to join RNS' exploding roster, TMZ Sports has learned. Of course, Jay recently inked boxing superstar Andre Ward and made a serious push to sign former world champ Adrien Broner ... but AB rejected the 5-year $40 million offer. 

Now, we've spoken with three other major fighters who have also been contacted by Roc Nation ... more evidence that Jay is dead serious about making a splash in the boxing world. The fighters -- who wished not to be named -- tell us that just like Broner's courting, Jay Z never personally reached out ... sending his people to make contact instead and we're told it rubbed the fighters the wrong way. 

All three fighters we spoke with tell us they ultimately turned down the Roc Nation offers ... but aren't closing the door on a possible relationship with RNS in the future. Meantime, Roc Nation Sports is still growing like crazy ... and recently signed Georgia running back Todd Gurley who's expected to be one of the first running backs selected in the NFL Draft. We reached out to Roc Nation Sports for comment -- so far, no word back.

Tyson Fury v. Dereck Chisora Fight Contracts Need To Be Signed

Dereck Chisora, Frank Warren and Tyson Fury

Tickets have been selling well for the Tyson Fury v. Dereck Chisora 2 rematch boxing fight, slated for November 29, 2014 at the ExCel Arena in London, England. I checked Stub Hub and less than 30 tickets were left on their site. However, the contract has not been signed for the fight.

Fury has tweeted at Box Nation owner and promoter, Frank Warren, demanding the contract be signed. The absence of a signed contract has concerned a number of fans who bought tickets to the highly anticipated rematch. Both boxers have been training heavily to be in top form for the bout.

What Managers, Coaches And Trainers Look For In Athletes

Many people want to become professional athletes and wonder what it takes. Natural talent is very important. However, other factors are important as well. The willingness to work hard is a second important trait. Sports is physically demanding and requires many hours of training. You must be willing to put in the time and effort in extensive, exhausting practice sessions and in play.

Discipline goes hand in hand with hard work. You have to discipline yourself to train long hours and not get into trouble with drugs and alcohol, which wreak havoc on an athlete's body.  Having one drink is one thing (wine is the least damaging) but getting high on drugs and drunk on alcohol is quite another. There have been high profile cases of notable, talented athletes, whose careers were derailed by drugs and or alcoholism.  

The willingness to listen and cooperate is also an asset. Managers, coaches and trainers prefer athletes who are not stubborn and are willing to listen to their advice that comes from many years of experience. The willingness to listen to instructions, correction and advice, putting it in motion in real life situations in and out of play, will make you more successful. 

No matter how good of an athlete you are, you don't want the manager or coach to become exasperated with your attitude or antics in or out of play and bench you. There's only so much the average manager or coach is willing to take. Get behavioral issues under control. 

There have been a few athletes who were warring with people they work with because training and team commitments interfered with their partying scheduled. That's another thing, you cannot be a successful athlete chasing tramps and partying all the time. It will sap your strength and damage your career. Your performance off the pitch/field/court with all these women will negatively impact your performance on the pitch/field/court.

See your career as something you love, but also a business. Only listen to the most experienced, tried and tested individuals, who are professionals with a track record for being correct and successful. Listening to your friends and or girlfriends, who do not know the business, with some acting out of self-interest, will not help you in the long run.

 

For example, your friend wanting to manage your career, with no business experience or contacts in the industry, as opposed to you signing with a manager or agent with years of experience and proven success. That is a big no-no. Many careers have suffered going this route. The entertainment and sports industries are very specific and complicated. It's not cut and dry. There are many intricacies. An experienced and connected manager and or agent will get you places and more income much quicker than your inexperienced, untrained friend off the street attempting to trade off your burgeoning name. 

A good manager or agent will confidently and constantly work via their connections to get you deals with corporations that make sports drinks, soft drinks, food, footwear, apparel, cars and other items that are a good fit with your brand. Your friend who is not in the industry will have a very difficult time getting meetings with the aforementioned people.

Another example, your girlfriend not wanting you to sign with certain teams in certain cities. You think it is because she does not believe they are the best teams and will not win championships, when it has been proven in quite a few cases it's about the number of models and groupies that reside in said cities (Miami, Los Angeles and New York ect). Don't laugh, I know of cases where this happened but I don't want to name names and embarrass anyone. That's not the purpose of this article.

 

Save for a rainy day

Unless your girlfriend is a professional athlete, manager, agent or works for a sports organization in an executive capacity, it is best not to accept life changing career advice from her. She may mean well, she may be only thinking about herself, you don't know, but at the end of the day, it is best to listen to the professionals. 

Additionally, whether you are on a squad or in a solo sport, once you get signed, you will have a team of professionals behind you and you need to make the best effort you can to cooperate and work with them. No man is an island. There's nothing wrong with getting help from others under the correct, prearranged terms, hammered out in proper contracts. And remember, you head up your personal business team, you set the agenda, don't let anyone push you into anything you do not feel comfortable doing.

Work with knowledgeable, experienced people, as it will make a difference in how much of an impact your career makes and how much income you earn. It's not about greed, but one must keep in mind, the average professional athlete's career lasts roughly 5-years. Some exceed that, but many fall under the five year average as well. Therefore, you need to make the most of it while you have it, to set yourself and your family up financially for the future. As the Judiciary Report always advocates, use a small portion of your earnings to start a sensible business.

Bills don't pay themselves. Think big and try to think ahead and with that in mind, make the most of today with the best deals and endorsements your team can find.
