Usher is Mama’s Boy Again
Posted in Music, Usher on the August 14, 2008
Us is reporting that it looks like Usher is rehiring his mama Jonetta Patton as his manager and cutting ties with music big shot Benny Medina. Rumors have been swirling that Usher was pissed off that his latest album did middling numbers and cut the cord with Benny only to reattach one to his mom who had been his manager until last year. Back then, the speculation was that he ditched his mom because she and his wife Tameka Foster didn’t get along. Well, Tameka better get used to having the in-law around because Jonetta actually helped her son make the money that feeds Tameka.
Mary J. Bilge Gets Sued
Posted in Divas, Mary J. Blige, R&B on the August 14, 2008
Reports have surfaced that Mary J. Bilge is being sued for $2 million in federal courts. A producer is claiming that the music used in the R&B diva’s tune ‘Work That’ is his and that he never gave any permission for his music to be used in the song. The reports also say that it’s unclear whether Mary J knew that the music wasn’t appropriately sourced. If that’s the case then she may be given the clear. But aren’t lawyers supposed to check all that stuff out before a record is released? Someone needs to do a lot of explaining.
