Ginuwine Signs to Bogus
Record Label New York, NY – If you’re
wondering why you haven’t heard much lately from the R&B superstar,
Ginuwine, apparently it’s because he was signed to a phony record
contract to a company that never existed. After a period of time, he
never began recording or even received any royalty checks, his assumptions
led him to believe something was up. The smart idea would’ve have
been to check your sources and references before closing the deal, but
I guess that never occurred to the 'Pony' originator. At press time, Ginuwine has
filed a lawsuit against the phony record label dubbed King Music
Group, Inc. out of Memphis Tennessee, owned solely by a personal
acquaintance he knew as Michael Bourne. The contract stated a
$1.75 million venture with a $500,000 advance after the recording of
the first album under King Music. In the past six months no recording
time has been scheduled, nor has Ginuwine received any monetary units.
While checking records, no trance of any existing company can be found
in any state across the U.S., Bourne’s number is unlisted and no one
in Ginuwine’s legal team has been able to reach him. In the lawsuit
filed earlier in the month, Ginuwine is seeking four million dollars
in damages for fraud, illegal misrepresentation, and branch of contract.
His attorney, Corey D. Boddie, states that because he was under
contract, stipulations didn’t allow him to record under any other
company or he would be in branch of contract. 24hourhiphop.com tried
to find records of the alleged King Music Group, Inc. and its affiliates,
obviously that option was unsuccessful. Dammit, I thought yo ass had
some type of business sense, word of advice, fire your manager. You’re
letting the whole new R&B era pass you by; these other artists are
taking over, your time is almost over, not everyone can stay on top
forever. Taking a hiatus is one thing, but going ghost from the industry
based on legal matters, well that just means you gotta fix your problems.
New York, NY – After a long
hiatus, Ja Rule has returned to release new album called “The
Mirror” due out in November. With the singles “Body” and “Uh
Ohhh” already circulating through the tracks, anything is bound to
happen with his next attempt of trying to gain back the spotlight. Rule goes forth to explain
that this album is a reflection of events that have occurred in his
professional career over the course of the past several years. Between
the Gotti Bros. and their federal charges to the public beef
with G-Unit leader, 50 Cent, he describes this album to
be a more mature approach than his past LPs. He left this to say about
his upcoming “The Mirror.” “When you've been in this
business a long time, things sometimes spiral into something bigger
than you expected, coming through has made me wiser and more open-minded.
Such situations not only build character, but show other people's character.
The album is very grown-up, expressing a lot of true feelings. But it's
a fun album as well, a dramedy.” – Reuters/Billboard You can check both videos in
the 24 On Demand section and give us your comments on whether or not
his comeback is inevitable.
