R. Kelly is dropped from SONY

[David_TheMan]

He doesn't have the money to buy his catalog.

Once you sign that shyt away, it's nearly impossible to get back. That's why Marvin Gaye lived near like a pauper for the last few years of his life, and why Stevie Wonder--who jealously guarded most of his rights--still rolls in the dough.

Marvin Gaye was a hardcore drug addict that is why he ended his life the way he did.
When had his comeback with "sexual healing" he blew it on cocaine again.

Stevie didn't "jealously" guard his rights, lol he just kept his rights.

SONY ain't going to give him his catalog back LMAO cmon and he doesn't own his publishing HE NEEDS AN IGNITION/ STEP IN THE NAME OF LOVE TYPE HIT for this shyt to blow over ...a Bodak Yellow type hit or it is curtains for him

Once he do his 2-3yrs bid & come out
Drop a gospel album...
nikkas gone forgive & forget

 

[Take It In Blood]

Give him back his masters if u really don't want to do business with a "monster"

 

[CASHAPP]

Kelly is a reactionary artist so there will be no inbetween. Either he commits suicide or he drops another Ignition soon

I definitely can also see him getting even worse and going after more girls

 

[BigMan]

Smart move by them

L


All savages, along with the Sony Japs.
How Black artists ended up with these white and jap labels is a mystery that needs to be explained

They've always been the heads of the corporate music business for a long time since the 40's and 50's aint shyt done change... you remember that scene in ray???



even ray charles had more brains & heart than r.kelly... wrote ALL those damned hits and wont own his masters...

 

[bordeaux]

i still feel like all this will blow over in a month or two when people find something else to pretend to care about. i get it but im surprised they folded. dude still has a hit record on gospel radio right now.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

According to reports he asked to be released from Sony.

 

[Diondon]

In 3 years bullshyt like this will pop up

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

Not surprised. They dropped Dr. Luke too back then.

Why are people still for this guy?

 

[Curufinwe]

Don't be surprise if every Black artist is blackmailed by theses kinds of accusation....
Destroying a Great Singer Legacy in 2 weeks....that's disgusting.

 

[Originalman]

All i'ma say is, they better not pull some shyt where his music is pulled but in 5 or 10 years some white people are out here covering all his hits making money. Nope. Let ALL his songs go away with him, not no "well if he's not singing them it's different" type of shyt.

5 dollar bet they will homie.
