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.

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 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.

Meek Mill States Fellow Rapper Drake Was Peed On By TI's Friend And Smacked By Diddy


Nicki Minaj is a big part of the problems regarding Meek Mill and Drake 

Meek Mill has responded to two back to back diss tracks by fellow rapper Drake, issuing one of his own entitled "Wanna Know." On "Wanna Know" Meek Mill reiterates his view that Drake has ghostwriters, which is frowned upon in rap music. Meek Mill equates Drake with 1980s band, Milli Vanilli, whose Grammy was revoked for not singing on their album. Meek Mill released single artwork with a Photoshopped pic of Drake as Milli Vanilli.


Meek Mill and Drake before their dispute

"Wanna Know" also makes the allegation Drake allowed a drunk friend of fellow rapper TI to urinate on him in a movie theater, without retaliating, which gives a certain impression. Meek Mill also makes mention of rapper Diddy slapping Drake in Miami, which sent the latter to the hospital, as he somehow injured his shoulder. Rappers are constantly calling Drake soft (Meek Mill rapped Drake is "soft like baby lotion). Drake is constantly teased on social networking for being a sensitive, non-abrasive rapper.


Drake

Some of Meek Mill's dispute with Drake has to do with his new girlfriend turned fiancée, Nicki Minaj. Meek Mill knows she still has a soft spot for pretty boy Drake and vice versa. When Drake did not do enough to promote his collaboration with Meek Mill, in his estimation it was an offense and insult by someone still eyeing up his girlfriend.

Jennifer Lopez Continues To Copy Mariah Carey


Mariah Carey and Tommy Mottola in the 1990s

It’s no secret in the entertainment industry that singer Mariah Carey can’t stand actress Jennifer Lopez. Carey debuted in 1990 under the tutelage of CBS/Columbia Records music executive, Tommy Mottola, a married man the 18-year-old ingénue began having a sexual affair with, leading to his ugly, acrimonious divorce from the mother of his children.

Carey and Mottola wed in an over the top ceremony, but at the end of the day, she never loved him and had married the man, twice her age, for career advancement. Mottola engaged in payola, chart rigging and employed buying teams to put Carey’s career over the top, during their fierce, one-sided competition with the late legendary singer Whitney Houston.


Tommy Mottola and Jennifer Lopez in the 1990s

Mottola’s marriage to Carey did not last long. She reportedly spent her honeymoon crying on a beach. The mafia connected music executive, so rigged her career, that when she left him, he walked away from the marriage with far more money than she did, after bilking Sony regarding her supposed sales.

Mottola was bitter and vengeful. Carey was gallivanting with baseball hottie, Derek Jeter, among others, which wounded Mottola’s pride and ego. In 1998, Mottola took his revenge in signing actress Jennifer Lopez to a record deal and using the blueprint he utilized on Carey (not to mention, he embarked on a fling with Lopez as well). However, they took it to new extremes, flat out mimicking Carey at every turn, which annoyed the singer no end.


Jennifer Lopez announces her residency again mimicking Carey, who has spoken out about it in the past

From her debut, Lopez was styled to look like Carey. She was given a makeover, coloring her hair the same shade as Carey’s locks, with extensions put in to mimic the length. Mottola used many of the same songwriters and producers he hired for Carey’s projects, which created a rivalry as the two singers jostled for the best songs from creative talent. Mottola also had Lopez styled like Carey, as the two once again jostled for the best clothes from the same designers, which Carey having used them first.

Their concert tours began looking similar as well, employing very similar styles, stage sets, dancers and routines. Mottola was not as successful with Lopez as he was with Carey, for the simple fact the actress really is not a singer. Carey has (had) five octaves, while on a good day Lopez has 1 and ½. To this day Lopez continues to mimic Carey’s career. Carey signed up to be a talent judge on the show “American Idol” and then Lopez did the same. Carey signed up for a Las Vegas residency that is not going well and now Lopez has signed up for the same.

Note to Jennifer Lopez: Mariah Carey hates your guts.

Record Label Sends Rihanna Back Into The Recording Studio Over Failed Singles From Forthcoming Album And She Is Slammed By Famous Producer


Rihanna

Thieving Kabbalah Center singer Rihanna has been hit with bad news from her record label. Her recent three singles, "Four Five Seconds" "Bit*h Better Have My Money" and "American Oxygen" flopped with audiences, receiving overwhelmingly negative feedback on social networking, despite Kabbalah's best efforts to talk up the singer and her songs via their fake Twitter and Instagram accounts used for promotion.

Rihanna was also hit with a copyright infringement claim for "Bit*h Better Have My Money" by Texas singer Just Brittany. Then a cocaine scandal surfaced, featuring Rihanna snorting cocaine through a straw, in a widely disseminated video clip. Rihanna angrily denied the obvious to the public, but it is not the first time she was caught snorting cocaine.


Diplo

With Rihanna's career imploding, the label decided to rework the failing album. As a result, Rihanna was recently paired with producer of the moment, Diplo, who slammed her as having a bad vibe he does not like. As a result of what he says he experienced, Diplo is actively trying to back out of plans regarding working with Rihanna in the recording studio.

The problem is Rihanna believes her own hype the record label and management created, but it is all fake to get the public to buy their products. At the end of the day Rihanna can't sing, dance or act and her career has been based on copyright infringement. She is no Whitney Houston. She is a copyright thief that never should have been famous, as she did so via stealing other people's protected intellectual property, in violation of the law.

I'm bigger than her: Diplo takes a swipe at Rihanna
 
Published 3rd May 2015 - SUPERSTAR DJ Diplo has taken a swipe at Rihanna after she gave the hit-maker the cold shoulder during a recent studio visit. NOT IMPRESSED: Diplo has snubbed Rihanna. The Bajan-beauty has headed back into the studio to rework on her eighth studio album after lead single B**** Better Have My Money failed to make an impact on the charts.

The single only peaked at number 27 in the UK charts – a far cry from her chart-topping smashes We Found Love and Diamonds. Meanwhile Diplo, 36, is the man of the moment with his track Lean On currently enjoying worldwide success. “I was in the studio with Rihanna two weeks ago, still playing the game," Diplo told The Standard.

"I was trying to convince her why she should do so-and-so and thinking, ‘Lean On is bigger than any of her songs around the world right now. Why am I even sitting here trying to negotiate?’ "I honestly was not that interested in working on her record but I’ll never say no to anybody until I’ve gotten a vibe from them."...

Rihanna's Forthcoming CD Significantly Pushed Back Again Over Flopped Singles, Song Stealing And Cocaine Scandal


Rihanna

Copyright infringing singer Rihanna is again experiencing career trouble. Her forthcoming eighth album that is one year overdue, has been pushed back again after several delays and failed release dates. The most recent release date was April 7, 2015, but that one failed as well. The website Digital Spy wrote yesterday, "Rihanna is expected to release her eighth studio album later this year."


 
Three poorly received singles "Four Five Seconds" "B***h Better Have My Money" and "American Oxygen" have been rejected by audiences, who have given the tracks overwhelmingly negative reviews on social networking and in blog feedback sections. Sales are also in the toilet. The fiasco that has become Rihanna's current project is reminiscent of what transpired with Mariah Carey's "Me. I Am Mariah. The Elusive Chanteuse." That album was pushed back several times until two years had passed and it flopped upon release, creating the lowest selling recording of her career.

 
Still from the video clip of Rihanna snorting cocaine at a private party

Rihanna's career has also been hit by scandal over stealing the song "B***h  Better Have My Money," slamming Indiana's religious freedom legislation in a foul mouth tirade that led to Americans telling her to go back to Barbados and being caught snorting cocaine on camera. Rihanna continues to deny she was snorting cocaine, lying that it was weed, but so do most stars with said dangerous habit, until that near fatal or fatal overdose exposes the truth.
 

Still from the video clip of Rihanna snorting cocaine at a private party

Some of Rihanna's dwindling fanbase have been crazily attacking people on social networking and blog sites for stating she is using cocaine. That type of irrational behavior in the face of proof, says they need to get a grip on reality. However, labels like to foster fanaticism for record sales and it is creating mental illness in some members of the public, via the crazy stars they foist on the public, who engage in detrimental behavior for all to see.

Manny Pacquiao Releases Song For MegaFight But Will Floyd Mayweather Do So As Well (Videos)


Filipino boxing superstar, Manny Pacquiao, has released a touching music video entitled "Lalaban Ako Para Sa Filipino" in honor of the people of the Philippines, ahead of his fight against undefeated American superstar, Floyd Mayweather. Pacquiao has released successful albums in the Philippines and has used his talents to record for the May 2, 2015 Mayweather fight in Las Vegas.


In the other corner is Floyd Mayweather. The question is will Floyd release a song and video for the fight. Floyd, please dont' release a video of your "ho*s" twerking (LOL). You could redo "Living In America" by the late music legend James Brown, which was featured in the film "Rocky 4."

Rihanna’s Music Career Is Imploding As The First Two Singles From Her CD Are Being Slammed By The Public


The horrible cover art for Rihanna's new song "Bit*h Better Have My Money"

It’s ironic that a copyright thief, who can’t sing should have a music career. However, due to the casting couch and cult connections, Rihanna has a music career. “Four Five Seconds” the lead single from her forthcoming CD, flopped on the charts. The song was a collaboration with Beatle, Paul McCartney and rapper, Kanye West. Audiences hated it. The song created the first lead single flop of Rihanna’s career.

Today Rihanna released the profane, explicit second single from her forthcoming CD, a track titled “Bit*h Better Have My Money.” How classy (not). The song takes its profane title from a line in the 1980s film "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka.” Years ago rappers AMG and DJ Quick also released a track called “Bit*h Better Have My Money.” The cover of Rihanna's single is atrocious. Rihanna’s eyebrows are not “on fleek” as the internet phrase goes. Those eyebrows are on fleet…like a fleet of ships. Her eyebrows look like two caterpillars trying to fight on her face.

Chris Brown Slams Former Exploitative Manager Tina Davis Accusing Her Of Sabotaging His Forthcoming CD With Leaks

 

Chris Brown  

R&B singer Chris Brown has lashed out against his former manager, Tina Davis, whom many have accused of sexually and emotionally exploiting him from the time he was an underage minor under her care as an adult. Brown fired overbearing Davis, who has been in love with the singer for years, resenting women who have a romantic relationship with the star.


  Chris Brown's former manager Tina Davis

This week, Brown slammed Davis on Twitter, accusing her of leaking his music and refusing to return his computer hard drive. Brown tweeted, "Snakes in the grass...just stay positive" and "my old manager is leaking my NEW album music and refuses to give me my back up hard drive to sabotage my album. That's F'd up G!." Davis responded, "@ChrisBrown Trace it! Find out where it originated from…RCA can do that for you. Then send a defaming tweet out on who really did it.”



Chris Brown's mom Joyce Hawkins, Chris Brown and Tina Davis

Brown later deleted the tweet (she really shouldn't be holding on to the hard drive, though). A few weeks ago, blogger Sandra Rose accused Davis of setting Brown up to be assaulted. During his relationship with former girlfriend Rihanna, Davis was accused of constantly interfering. She is also said to be resentful of his girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, as Brown has engaged in open displays of affection for her that have been captured by the paparazzi and posted on social networking by the couple.


Davis is behaving like one of those clingy, controlling, love obsessed managers who believe they created and thereby own their artists (even when they are ex-clients). Others who have done this is Tommy Mottola, who discovered singer Mariah Carey and gave her an image and sound makeover. Ike Turner was very controlling and domineering with Tina Turner, whom he gave her start, but turned terrible on her in ways no human being should be treated. At the end of the day, being a music manager is about business. People need to respect boundaries and not lose themselves to the point they start thinking their artists are personal property they own forever.

Alexander O'Neal And Cherrelle's Stories Show The Dark Side Of Fame

TV One's Unsung Episode Reveals The Pain Behind The Fame


Cherrelle

1980s R&B singers Alexander O'Neal and Cherrelle had a number of hits that performed very well on the charts. They were solo artists, but their names became intertwined as their label Tabu Records paired them for songs with super-producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and other notable production talent.

It resulted in big R&B hits "Saturday Love" "Never Knew Love Like This" and "Innocent." The gifted vocalists with impressive range, also experienced the down side of fame. However, with the money and hits, came tragedy and depression.  



 Alexander O'Neal

On his own O'Neal is known for hits such as "Fake" "Criticize" and "All True Man." The money started coming in. O'Neal, who had grown up in poverty in Natchez, Mississippi, became addicted to cocaine when he hit the big time. His lack of sobriety and admission thereof, led to Hollywood turning its back on him.

As a result of not being promoted well by the recording industry in Hollywood, he moved to London, England for 14-years, where his popularity had not diminished. O'Neal had been the first artist to sell out Wembley arena 8 nights in a row. His concert featured a bed in the middle of the stage, something he publicly complain thief Madonna stole from his show shortly after (that's been Madonna's whole career, one theft after another).



Cherrelle and Alexander O'Neal

Cherrelle, real name, Cheryl Anne Norton, by contrast grew up in Beverly Hills the daughter of a wealthy entertainment industry lawyer. Her dad helped her get a record deal with Tabu Records and she was placed with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. She had many R&B hits such as "Everything I Miss At Home" "Artificial Heart" "Where Do I Run To" and "You Look Good To Me." She also had a hit with cousin Pebbles on the song "Always" which also featured soulful singer Johnny Gill.

However, her life fell apart soon after beginning in 1992. She split with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and her career began to fade. Her sister died and her father went to prison for financial fraud in relation to his clients. Then the father of her two children, Randy Ran, was beheaded in a motorcycle accident, which devastated her.


Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis

She began a new relationship, became pregnant and went into labor during the fifth month of pregnancy whilst on vacation...on a cruise ship in Martinique. Cherrelle stated she underwent an emergency c-section with NO ANESTHETIC (that hurts just thinking about it). Her daughter was born in Martinique and is named after the Caribbean island. Cherrelle spent months there just clearing her head after the death of Randy Ran.


Cherrelle and Alexander O'Neal in the 1980s

Alexander O'Neal and Cherrelle still tour to this day. It was nice seeing them on television again, as I grew up on their music. However, it was sad to learn in detail the tragedies and heartbreaks they endured in their personal lives. Another thing I noticed, hearing talented singers such as Alexander O'Neal and Cherrelle again is a sad reminder of the fact newer singers on the radio today can't sing. Image over substance and quality is lacking.

Beyonce Booed At Concert In Britain As Fans Storm Out

Beyonce Booed At Concert In Britain As Fans Storm Out


Beyonce: uh oh!

Singer Beyonce played the famous V Festival in England this past weekend and was vociferously booed for being late to start her set. When Beyonce hit the stage 20 minutes late, concertgoers who waited in the rain, let rip, booing the former Destinys Child singer. Many had left the venue when she delayed her performance. But this is but a small sampling of Beyonce's troubles.


Beyonce: I wasn't going to get my weave wet for y'all

She is also under pressure at Sony. The last five songs she has released did not do well on the charts, turning in weak positioning and  poor sales. People have indicated her forthcoming CD lacks hit material and is not up to par, hence the delays, regarding released dates being repeatedly pushed back.


Beyonce: I'm gonna leave..."to the left, to the left"

Beyonce is also having marriage troubles, as Miami rapper LIV told the world the singer's husband, Jay-Z tried to turn her into his mistress, begging for sex on different occasions. LIV is not the only one, as Jay-Z has been bedding women in different states, as being talked about in the industry. Beyonce really should have seen this coming, as he is not the faithful type.

Report: Toni Braxton Divorced, Broke And Homeless


Toni Braxton

Things have gone from bad to worse for Grammy award winning singer Toni Braxton. Her "sad" divorce from husband Keri Lewis was made final last month after 15-years of marriage. New reports have also surfaced in Star magazine claiming she is broke and homeless. This after losing the rights to 27 of her songs during bankruptcy proceedings.

It is being stated Braxton is now living with her sister Tamar Braxton and her wealthy husband, indie label owner and manager, Vincent Herbert. Braxton has made concert appearances and completed work in a Lifetime movie. Therefore, she does have income, but if her old spending problems have resurfaced her finances may not be in the best state, as she has lived very lavishly. Braxton has not responded to the aforementioned claims in the press

Toni Braxton Loses The Copyrights To Her Songs

"Another Sad Love Song" Indeed


Toni Braxton

Singer Toni Braxton's second bankruptcy is proving more damaging than the first a decade ago. She had an agreement with the bankruptcy court that she could buy back the copyrights to her songs for a minimum of $20,000 but she must participate in the bidding process.


However, Braxton received an unexpected blow when a man named Ross M. Klein outbid her, paying $40,000 for 27 of her songs, which was a steal. Braxton reportedly earned $700,000 since filing bankruptcy. She should have used some of it to retain the rights to her music.

Report: Beyonce To Scrap First Two Singles And Album Due To Public Backlash And Scorn


Beyonce

According to Media Take Out, singer Beyonce, A/K/A Seabiscuit, has reportedly scrapped the first two songs from her forthcoming album and the CD as well, as frankly, the public thinks it sucks. The ill-fated song that cemented public view on the project is the arrogant track "Bow Down/I Been On" where she instructs other female singers to "bow down" to her out of alleged envy and respect.

But now Beyonce is the one whose decided to quickly "bow down" to public pressure, scrapping the project. So, Beyonce, how does the ground you wanted everyone else to hit taste. The Bible says, "Pride comes before a fall."

Somewhere Aretha Franklin is laughing at this development. As well as Franklin, Whitney Houston and Barbara Streisand sing, I've never heard any of them say or sing something so ungracious and haughty to their contemporaries or the newer generation of singers coming up. Not to mention, if singer Aaliyah hadn't died, she would have repeatedly left Beyonce in the dust.

What Beyonce needs to be doing is getting that G.E.D. and learning to write, rather than stealing everyone else's copyrights and accepting Grammys and royalty checks for committing felonies in breaking federal and United Nations' law (Beyonce Steals Again But This Time From Sam Cooke, En Vogue & A European Artist). Her brazen history of property theft will forever taint any alleged accomplishments in her questionable career and as the Judiciary Report always states, history has a way of correcting itself. Just ask Lance Armstrong... 


STORY SOURCE

[BEYONCE DRAMA!! Entire Album May Be SCRAPPED . . . And Pushed Back Until THIS FALL!!!]

March 19, 2013: MediaTakeOut.com learned that there is UTTER DISARRAY in Beyonce's camp - with word coming out that her album may not be released until "THIS FALL." The album was originally set to be released in just a few weeks.

What's wrong - the TWO songs that were so far released (NUCLEAR w Kelly and Michelle, and BOW DOWN) have been panned as "FLOPS" by music industry insiders. Tells a person close to the QUEEN, "No one thought that both records would fall flat. They were supposed to be her biggest two songs off the album."

So what is the plan now? Well MediaTakeOut.coms snitch tells us that it is now UNLIKELY that Beyonce will release AN ALBUM - and possible not even a SINGLE before she begins her world tour next month. The insider explains, "It's back to the drawing board. More recording, until [they] get a great album."
