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.

ok but I was at a show of his last year here in baltimore and he’s always said that he’s was born & raised in DC SW…and how much much he loves DC & maryland….I just know he went to prince georges community college.

@142. its mr. ftg u bitches Ask TLC how you can sell 10 million + & STILL have to file for bankruptcy. And as for Back II Basics going gold most of those were overseas sales. The album got VERY little airplay here in the U.S. & most of the people that bought it are Ginuwine’s true fans & they follow his career.
A Dodge Charger (OMG if that is not the cheapest POS lol) can be had for very little money. G needed a car & he took the money from his residual check & play & pooled them together & bought one. And as for the plays paying 30,000 it depends on the play, the actors guild, & the scale. AND the scale that the actor commands as well.
WTH said Keith Sweat?? OMG Keith has penned so many hits for so many artists here in ATL AND he goes on tour EVERY SINGLE YEAR so its DEFINITELY not him.
Definitely NOT D’Angelo because as much of a sex symbol as he was in the early 00’s there was still a backlash against him because of his drug use & the way he did Angie Stone wrong as h3ll.
And Bobby hasn’t had any hits in over a decade. The CD he did with New Edition Home Again did very well but their agreement didn’t net them much money off of it. And as you can see the other guys are doing fine. Bobby is just drugged up f-ed up Bobby!!!
Brian Mcknight has a CD out right now that is doing nicely AND he also pens for many other artists & again let me make this clear its more lucrative to be a songwriter than a singer most of them time anyway. (How you think Ne-Yo-whom I LOVE- made all that paper BEFORE In my own words even came out?)

Can you’s please stop saying dumb stuff….like it’s Aaron Hall, Christopher Williams, Al B. Sure, yeah right get real and even if it was would we care they are so played out anyways.
Anyways I think it is Ginuwine because he could’ve definetly been a gigolo. The ladies loved him (Sisqo doesn’t stand a chance with the ladies against Ginuwine). Think about it, if Ginuwine wasn’t famous he’ll still be that pretty boy guy that all the girls want a piece of (unlike Sisqo fame made him desirable to us girls), admit it if Sisqo was a normal dude most girls would not look twice, Ginuwine on the other hand could’ve been a gigolo like it says. And I think one of the desirable women is Beyonce she was in Nas & Ginuwine’s video “You Owe Me” (she probably owed Ginuwine some a** since he let DC get shine in they’re video)Get It? What was the purpose of DC being in the video anyways, besides in Carmens book Carmen blew up that Bey tried to holla at Nas but he turned her down cause her breathe stunk. She probably hooked up with Ginuwine though. And what if Aaliyah(R.I.P) could be another desirable woman he had. Think About It.

you wanna know something this is a free board for you to state your opinion and they when you do someone says your stupid for your thoughts, ooooo damn well.
1- (Ginuwine)damn when your own family is up here saying its you then something has got to be true. but i still say it might be sisqo but he didnt have a lot of girls only mya and he had a daughter (remember the little nappy head girl in the beggining of the thong song lol)
2- Jahiem say it aint so i love him,
3- it seems as if everyone needs to do their homework when it comes to how many children ginuwine has even me cz im confused.
ok that’s my opinion, may be it is ginuwine. oh well

This is definatly Genuwine! He got 2 kids by a rapper from KC name Sole. He has fallen off. On his myspace page he was looking for producers. If you’re already big, you wouldnt be looking for regular producers on myspace… it’s not his fault. He’s just trying to stay in the game. This music business is so fickle.

Yeah, he made a truck load of money on that “Pony” song, he said:
“…I’m just a bachelor I’m looking for a partner, Someone who knows how to ride Without even falling off…”
Women were lining up to see if they could stay on his dick without fall off! lol! So, the bachelor playboy made some bad deals and now he’s having cash flow problems!

It is not Tyrese cause last time I checked he didn’t have kids.
It is not Sisqo, that man couldn’t have been a gigolo cause gigolos are supposed to look good and if he didn’t have the money he wouldn’t be “desirable” enough to be a gigolo, he’s not a sex symbol, and he doesn’t have kids.
It’s not LOON, ummmmmmm LOON IS NOT R&B!!!
It’s Ginuwine. Toni Braxton and like FyreStarrter said TLC were top selling artists who got broke, so selling 10+ million albums don’t mean a thing. He could be a gigolo cause he’s sexy as heck. The “s” in “Payments” doesn’t mean several kids out of wedlock that just means he paid the mother of his son every month.

@ its mr. ftg u bitches sweetie not only did TLC have to file for Bankruptcy after selling gold or better but so did No Limit Records, Jill Scott, Toni Braxton, Shug Knight & Death Row (we all know this was about the extravagant & foolish death row lifestyle), the list goes on & on. My point is is that the agreement between artists & record labels make the labels so much money & often times make the artists NONE. Or in Shug’s case the extreme mismanagement of the label & not having a clear publishing agreement between you & your labels true owner (sorry ya’ll but Shug was jut the muscled up mug on the front of the money). Of course TLC would want out of their agreement! They were making something like 7 or 8 cents a record at their height when the well paid artist makes at least 25 sometimes 30/ album sold. If the labels did that to those big names what makes you thinking they didn’t do it to another top caliber artist like Ginuwine?

This is the easiest Blind Item that Myra has had.
The answer is ppl “Brian McNight”. Ten yrs ago he was hot! He was on Oprah where he admitted he was a playboy. He his now divorced and has kids and Im sure he is paying child support. I don’t feel sorry for him because he knows that women f**k for bling and money and he let a good woman and his kids stable home go away all for gold digger. Oh well…you reap what you sow!

I don’t belive these Blind Items, BUT I was just thinking about something:
Imagine if you had to pay CHILD SUPPORT to Three -five differant woman for 5 differant children based on how much you USE to make.
Now..It’s 10 years later, you haven’t had a hit record in YEARS, and your are living off of your royalty checks, with no other income coming in.
* Broke Brothers pay anywhere from $250 - $500 a MONTH for child support.
That’s $250 a month for 18 years !
Multiply THAT amount (or MORE !!!) by the number of children one has had out of wedlock..
That would be a lot of money for a person with no discernable income…..
That would be a lot of money for a person with no job !
** I was reading a report/statement from BOBBY BROWN
He said in court that he couldn’t afford a lawyer, because most imes he’s homeless. He THEN said that he was suing Whitney Houston for spousal support & for custody Of Bobbi Kristina
***How would a Homeless person with no job get custody of a child ???
Bobby Brown REALLY needs Jesus in his life..
**** Anyway’s If you google “Bobby Brown - Spousal Support” you will find the following quote
Bobby Brown Wants Spousal Support From Whitney Houston
WHITNEY HOUSTON is being sued by ex-husband BOBBY BROWN, who is seeking to change his terms of custody with their 14-year-old daughter, BOBBI KRISTINA.
In court papers obtained by “The Insider,” he lists several reasons why he was not able to file a response to Whitney’s pettion for divorce, stating he was “strapped for cash during this time and could not afford to hire a lawyer.”
He also says he’s devastated about losing his rights to see his daughter.
Bobby claims he has been homeless at times since the divorce, and is seeking spousal support, as well as child support for their daughter.
His divorce from Whitney was finalized on April 24, with Whitney getting full custody.
Bobby was not in court when the ruling was passed down. Whitney testified that she did not need spousal or child support, and that the couple’s daughter could not depend on her father.
A court date for Bobby’s new case has set for June 15.
***** Sorry for writing the term paper & disertation.
You know how Bill is……
Peace

What about Montel Jordan? He had a new(ish) cd released called Life After Def because he was dropped from Def Jam. I don’t know too much about him, but I seem to remember that he was married and the only song that I could imagine him having a royalty check from would be ‘This is how we do It’ because that song was used in everything from movies to commercials. Could be wrong though. Maybe it’s Chico DeBarge.

Ginuwine & Tyrese are two good answers. But I say It’s Tyrese
Tyrese has more crossover appeal and face recognition than Ginuwine, due to his previous work as a model/actor. So my money’s on Black Ty
Just because you do a few chitlin’ circuit plays and a few straight to video movies, don’t mean you’re still paid. You can STILL be living well above your means and BROKE.

I used to talk to one of his cousins from California who went to my college, Hampton University, he looked just like Ginuwine’s mini me, but acted goofy though. He did mention that he had a large family all over the place & I don’t think anyone would be that pathic to lie about being someones elses family member so adimately. It’s ginuwine.

Yeah, he may be “born again”. But being in the music industry makes things so hard when you have p***y being thrown in ya face everyday. I mean look at Mase. He became a preacher. Swore up and down he was going to keep God first in his life while he came back to the music industry. How can he do that when he’s rolling with G-Unit of all groups.
