BLIND ITEM: BROKE R&B SINGER
Wednesday, May 16, 2007
Not too long ago, he was hotter than fire! He also had a ‘playboy’ image despite having a significant other at home. This man was so in demand with women, it’s rumored that he has slept with some of the most desirable women in the world.He actually could have been a successful gigolo if he didn’t have a career in show business.
He lived up to his image by purchasing a $250,000 car that he really couldn’t afford. He also spent a fortune on bling and he had child support payments.
Now, his career has fallen off tremendously and his albums no longer sell. The car is gone and he had to downsize his lifestyle.
At one time, he was so determined to make money; he cut his road crew down to three, which is unheard of. He told promoters that he didn’t need a band or background singers/dancers, he would sing to pre-recorded tracks alone.
He currently receives one royalty check each month. If it were not for this residual check-no telling where he would be.
NOTE: All blind items are written by Myra Panache or her staff. No, I do not know what the answer is, after all it is called a Blind Item. These items are posted for entertainment reasons. Please contact Myra if you have any questions. Thank you.

GINUWINE ALSO HAS A MOVIE COMING OUT WITH VIDA GUERRA THIS YEAR. I HEARD THAT HE WAS CHEATING ON SOLE WITH HER WHICH IS THE REASON WHY GINUWINE AND SOLE’S MARRIAGE IS ON THE ROCKS. BUT GINUWINE IS STILL MAKING MONEY SO ITS NOT HIM. I THINK IT’S SISQO, BUT WHAT SHOW WAS SISQO ON TO BE COLLECTING RESIDUAL CHECKS?

Ginuwine is from upstate new york and it is a well-known fact that he had a son before getting with sole
read some of his previous interviews for those of you who keep saying he didn’t have children previous to sole
I think this blind item is definitely him, say what you want but most of you are not willing to admit now, but yall damn sure wanted to ride that pony back then, he was a little on the skinny side but his moves were on point!

Not I #79. I would be scared that in the heat of passion, that all that gel or s-curl juice would drip on me & burn my skin off. No thanks. But I did enjoy his music.

I’m gonna have to agree with everyone else who said Genuine! Dude hasn’t had a hit in quite some time.
Also, it may be Sisqo, but I’m thinking it’s more Genuine!

WHoever called everyone dumb asses for guessing Donnell Jones since he’s “married”….me thinks marriage implies “significant other”.
I thought Tank too, cause that dude is married (separated) and plays the sexy guy role. Then again, he produces more music (Jamie Foxx) than he comes up with good albums for himself.
Jaheim seems like a decent answer too although I can’t imagine him sleeping with the best of the best.

AND JUST BECAUSE GINUWINE’S WORKING DOESN’T MEAN THAT HIS INCOME MATCHES HIS LAVISH LIFESTYLE OR IS ENOUGH TO PAY HIS DEBTS- AND CHILD SUPPORT TAKES A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF YOUR EARNINGS NO MATTER WHAT OTHER EXPENSES YOU HAVE TO PAY OR WHAT OTHER KIDS YOU HAVE AT HOME WITH WIFEY
Simple math he had a lot of money coming in when his career was hot, so his lifestyle probablly matched his income-now that he’s fallen off, if he didn’t save or invest his money it is quite possible he could be doing performances, plays, etc. and still be broke or highly in debt trying to maintain his lifestyle.

@79 GINUWINE AIN’T FROM UPSTATE NEW YORK.
HE MOVED TO NEW YORK W/ DEVANTE SWING TO START HIS CAREER WHEN HE WAS IN HIS 20′S.
HE IS FROM WASHINGTON, D.C.
GINUWINE HAD ONLY 1 SON B/F SOLE.
GINUWINE CAREER WAS ON FIRE BETWEEN 99 AND 2003 W/ SONGS LIKE:
- NO OF YOUR FRIENDS BUSINESS
- DIFFERENCES (HIS BIGGEST)
- IN THOSE JEANS
- HELL YEAH
- SAME OLE “G”
BTW - HE’S NOT MAKING THAT MUCH MONEY DOING MOVIES AND PLAYS. GET REAL!!!

RIP
ATLANTA (AP) - Yolanda King, eldest child of civil rights legend Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., is dead. She was 51.
King, who pursued her father’s dream of racial harmony through drama and motivational speaking, died late Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif., said a spokesman for the King Center.
The family did not know the cause of death, but relatives think it might have been a heart problem, the spokesman, Steve Klein, said.
“She was an actress, author, producer, advocate for peace and non-violence, who was known and loved for her motivational and inspirational contributions to society,” the King family said in a statement.
Born Nov. 17, 1955, in Montgomery, Ala., Yolanda Denise King was just an infant when her home was bombed amid the turbulent civil rights era.
She became an actress, ran a production company and appeared in numerous films, including “Ghosts of Mississippi,” and as Rosa Parks in the 1978 miniseries “King.”

And yes Ginuwine has a child outside of Sole. A son named after him. Elgin Lumpkin Jr., poor kid. He’s probably a teenager by now. At least 12 years old.

@24 the word payments (being plural) doesn’t mean that there is more than one child. If you pay child support for one child and you miss more than one payment - then you now are behind on paymentS (plural). Yes or no? It’s Ginuwine. NEXT

@ 87 kendra
Okay, maybe he’s not originally from upstate new york but I know for a fact that he was living here along with missy, devante, and timbaland before he even had a single out-watch their documentary and it states they all were living here once upon a time and I seen all of them myself in person-that’s how tweet got hooked up with missy, she’s from upstate new york as well
but the point was he has a child outside of his relationship with sole
but thanks for pointing that out-

the first thought that ran through my head was, “this is definately ginuwine”….his last 2 albums were sales flops, and he hasnt been doin it big since timbo produced his music.
…he just fits the description perfectly.
sisqo had one album flop—not a complete setback
chico debarge—honestly, who cares about him. he’s not popular enough to even write a blind item about honestly.
it is GINUWINE.

I know it has to be Sisqo b/c I used to work around him…He had a girl before he was famous, and another child by a singer/actress…”Pretty faces from the cover of a magazine, from their covers to my covers want to lay with me…”-another clue…I know for sure he had a relationship with Beyonce back in the day. His checks are coming from “Thong Song”, b/c it’s always on a one hit wonder, where are they know, and/or summer songs show. Plus it always plays for the summer now…And finally about the crew going down to just three…Him, his cousin, and friend(remember his two rappers?)…SMH

It has to be ginuwine… most dont know he just released a independent album on th elow. Now Iknow the people that put the album out. Its a small rap based website/label that seeks out artists with music already recorded to purchase and release. He doesnt pay more than $30-40k for a project. Has to be ginuwine…

Maybe Sisqo, but more likely Genuine.
Someone mentioned Aaron Hall, but the clue said that “not that long ago” the singer was hot. Aaron Hall hasn’t had a hit since the early 90’s!

Now, his career has fallen off tremendously (THAT MEANS NO MORE ALBUMS..ISNT HE DOING PLAYS?) and his albums no longer sell. The car is gone and he had to downsize (THAT MEANS NO BENTLY’S…A DODGE CHARGER IS NO WHERE NEAR $250,000) his lifestyle.

The caption says “Broke R&B” artist not Hip Hop. I think this cancels out Ginuwine & Sisko. Aron Hall has/had a very succefull production company remember he discovered R. Kelly. Now Chico did date Janet & Beyonce.

Genuwine is coming out with another cd in a group with Tyrese and Tank and they will be doing a antional search for a 4th member. He also gets paid approx 30K per play performance - so its definitely NOT HIM!
I got $5 on D’angelo!!! He went from being the sex icon with his hit “How Does it Feel” to being fat and cracked out. We all know he has a child with Angie Stone.

2001 The Life Platinum Platinum 2x
2003 The Senior Platinum Platinum
2005 Back II Da Basics Gold
all together he sold over 10 million records.his latest album is the only gold album so his career is far from in the gutter.

FyreStarrter
Wednesday, May 16, 2007 /
Sigh sadly, I think it’s Ginuwine was well. His last CD Back II Basics sold less than 300,000 copies here in the US. The plays don’t pay that well most artist just use them for exposure for their upcoming releases or to keep their names fresh in the minds of their fans so they are not completely surreal life material. And at one time there were quite a few celeb women & models (even before Sole’ came in the picture) that were seen or wanted to be seen on Ginuwine’s arm (& by that I really mean in his bed lol). He was definitely a sex symbol back in the late 90’s & early 2000’s & he has not had a hit since in those jeans. So sad, but so true. Jaheim was big but never that big, Tyrese is still getting paid like a mutha frome his movies & they still show his old Coca-cola commercials overseas so he gets check from those & Black Ty did respectable (it was actually a very good album, but these days people don’t BUY music anymore), Tank has penned more hits for other folks than a little bit & song writing pays more than you own album most of the time anyway.
