this actually might have been worse

Mary actually can't read or she was legitimately illiterate at the time she signed her contract.

This is what I heard as well. I think Fantasia can’t read either. Illiterate with talent...easy pickings for the scumbags running the music industry...

Looking back and it's amazing to see so many black women musicians literally damn near struggling or broke with gold and platinum albums now they in their 30s, 40s and hell early 50s doing chicken circuits or doing jobs working at the bakery factory

Lauren hill broke...don't own her music, marley dump her and the 6 kids.. She got knocked up by some random nikka who left her with another kid...shows up late to her own shows, etc

Toni Braxton... Don't own anything of her music..got divorced left with 2 kids to take care of..was making some money doing a little vegas shows, but her health cause her to quit...then u see her throwing her p*ssy around trying to get attention by kissing up on trey songz...now she was one of the lucky ones to find a dude with money in Baby...but knowing baby she might not even see a dollar and the ring she get might be one of those rings he took from the jewelry store and never made any payments on it

TLC...pebbles fukk them with no Vaseline as well as la reid and babyface...how u sell 15 million copies of album which if u look at the total dollar amount at the time and adding in merchandise sold generated over 150 to 200 million dollars and u only get $30,000 apiece and a fukking jeep... Now they out here struggling with music nobody trying to here 20 years later and chili going around trying to throw p*ssy at Floyd mayweather and white men on that bad show she had....t boz having health issues and out here dating all these athletes who basically just trying to get some old cougar p*ssy.

Claudette Ortiz... U actually heard from her own voice that she's broke and was thinking about joining the military just to get some money and been living off of welfare with 3 kids, 2 by her ex crazy group member and then by some random one night stand nikka.


Majority of the sistas in the 40s,50s,60s was broke and had to use rental dresses to appear at events

Read behind the stories of 90s female chicks..a few in en vogue was broke, swv and a lot of one wonders like changing faces and sparkle..

Why this shyt always only happen to black artists and not white artists?

It does but it's not publicized like they do for black artists.

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

Exactly, i don’t believe her. Mary got some bread stashed somewhere

i hope so. she's had too good of a career, too long of a career, and made too much good music to be dead broke. i'm pulling for you MJB, that's my queen

Alot of heavy metal bands full of young party hardy naive teenagers we're getting raped financially by the majors

So much to the extent that it gave birth to the phrase CorpoeCor Rock...

Bands like Motley Crue and Poison were taking huge advances and requiring massive budgets for tour support ..albums and videos...

Metallica got hip to the game following the NAPSTER situation and upon renegotiation told thier label they would only resign if they voided out any advances in exchange for majority percentage of the backend royalties...

In fact the same executives who were hustling the metal acts also exploited the R&B and Hip Hop acts....

I.e SYLVIA RHONE...WALTER TEKNIKOFF...DOUG MORRIS..LYOR COHEN..TOMMY MOTTOLA

A lot of these musicians especially our sistas get caught up with the glamour look instead of the financial book until it's too late and they go fight for royalties and end up only getting a nickel of what they earn

I think what all these stories really tell us is that there isn't much money in music for artist like we always thought there was. When it comes to music, you're either Michael Jackson or you're starving. The middle class almost doesn't exist.
