I don't know enough about the situation to say she lying. Diddy does bad business all the time. Wouldn't be surprised if Pharrell and Chad did too. All them music nikkas seem shady.

She signed a contract at 19 that said the stipulations but wants a do over cuz SHE didn't understand the contracts at the time she signed them

So she signed a shytty contract that alot of young dumb rappers sign when they get in the game. Same kinda contact that had DMX asking for loans to pay his bills after going double platinum. Same kinda deal TLC signed with Pebble's. It happens.

When she was making money and hits with them no problem. Once her first album without them bricked, the shows stopped, money slowed up and now it’s a contractual problem. Another point to highlight is she never sold a lot of records. If anything, the labels lost on the marketing and have been recouping since. They didn’t even bother releasing Wanderland in North America because Kaleidoscope sold poorly. They gifted her an album that she’s able to go on a world tour with next month and The Neptunes aren’t going to get any of that.

DUMMY shyt:

“Their argument is: ‘Well, you signed it,'" she explained, referring to her recording contract that she signed with them when she was 19 years old. "I’m like: ‘Yeah, I signed what I was told, and I was too young and too stupid to double-check it.’” Their ploy was especially hurtful, because Kelis, Pharrell, and Chad were all friends.

This is just an excuse for being irresponsible. It makes no sense to still get scammed by record deals and contracts in the 2000s -- singers have been calling attention to this since the 1960s...if you're getting scammed you didn't do your job and you don't have anyone to blame but yourself. They didn't force her to sign it, she chose to sign it and many entertainment lawyers will read entertainment contracts pro-bono in the hopes of landing a future client. 19 is old enough to know better.
