JOJO SUING HER RECORD COMPANY
Joanna Levesque aka ‘Jojo’, has just filed a lawsuit in NYC courts claiming her record company, (Da Family Entertainment/Blackground) shoved her into a musical “limbo” because they wont let her out of her contract. Levesque recently turned 18 and became old enough to file a lawsuit, which she did immediately.
The singer has been talking about her label issues for months and spoke about the lawsuit via her myspace blog this weekend:
My situation is a bit a-typical. It is not a case where the artist loves the material they are making, is set in his or her ways, will not take direction or advice, and will not cooperate with the label. This is NOT the case at all. I’ve been blessed to receive great feedback from the record company in response to the music I’ve been delivering. But unfortunately I have become a victim of industry politics that honestly have nothing to do with me personally or professionally. Because of this, I am willing to fight for what I love and ultimately for the chance to regain control of my livelihood and my life. [ READ THE FULL POST ]
She also wants the label to pay her at least $500,000 for damages.
VH1 BRINGS BACK ‘BEHIND THE MUSIC’
VH1 is re-launching its Emmy Award-nominated and critically-acclaimed series “Behind The Music.” The iconic series that helped put VH1 on the map will premiere on Thursday, September 10th with “Behind The Music: Lil’ Wayne.”
The self-proclaimed “best rapper alive” opens up about his childhood, his music, and his struggles, as he and the people who know him best describe his ascension from a poverty-stricken childhood in New Orleans to his reign as one of hip-hop’s heavy hitters.
Other episodes will feature: singer Pink (September 17), self-proclaimed “King of R&B” Bobby Brown (September 24), rappers T.I. (October 8th) and 50 Cent on (October 13).
“LOVE HER.NOW ON TO JO JO ITS A SHAME THAT A VERY TALENTED GIRL LIKE HER IS GOING THROUGH THIS BECAUSE SHE CAN SING I KNOW FOR A FACT DAT SHE IS GONNA GET THROUGH THIS AND SOMEONE LIKE RIHANNA WHO CANT SING FOR NOTHING AND MAKING IM NOT TAKING ANYTHING FROM RIHANNA CUZ I LIKE RIHANNA BUT JOJO NEEDS NEW MANAGEMENT COMPANY SOME1 THATS GON TAKE CARE OF HER CUZ BLACKGROUND HASNT BEEN HOT SINCE THEY AALYAH..”
*******************************************************
JoJo can sing,but so can a lot of people. They don’t/never had a record contract. Jojo just doesn’t have IT. She is not marketable. Point blank.
Beyonce performing at the VMA’s will hopefully be hot. Thiis will be the way she can redeem herself after that snooze fest of a performance att he BET Awards, her vocals were on point though.
The news about Jojo is said. She is real talent get screwed over because of her label. Hopefully once she gets out of Blackground, she can comeback and take the scene away from some of the other “singers”.
Never been a Lil Wayne fan and I don’t care for him now, but I might just watch it because it is “Behind the Music”…and that will probably the most desent show on VH1.
