So Janet Jackson really did get blackballed...by CBS CEO and Chairman Les Moonves!

[Calmye]

they were accused of streaming certain artists on the backend to boost their numbers and increase their revenue

that's stealing fam. if that's found out to be true how can that NOT ruin their careers?

and please resist the urge to turn this into some sort of silly coli spat...i'm asking a real world question, educate me.

What does that have to do with them making music? Did 2pac going to prison for rap ruin his career? Do you think rape is equal to less than or greater than boosting numbers on a music streaming site

Timberlake kissed the ring, opened his booty and all was well.
what jj should've done was go to les' boss, Shari Redstone. Everyone has a boss.

Imaging being the queen of music and getting blackballed

I remember when you couldn’t request her songs on the radio and her music videos weren’t played on MTV b/c of the ban. By the time they lifted the ban those mediums weren’t relevant anymore.

Tupacs "rape" case was ALWAYS shaky and suspect from day one, we use to sit in high school and talk about it
so people still supporting tupac after that bullshyt, was a completely separate situation

Jayonce however, has built their entire image and brand on being successful business moguls

Them being hauled into court over faulty and shady business practices would destroy that image in a matter of nanoseconds

 

[Kerkum]

Yeah, they tried to take down the queen

I still don't get why Janet got so much of the backlash and Justin Timberlake got away pretty much unscathed. I cannot wrap my mind around that or even rationalize it.

Even to this day, niccas still ride with Justin knowing how he threw Janet under the bus and let her go up in flames.

fukk him, Les Moonves, and CBS.

Are you really surprised?
