Brooke Valentine was NOT dropped from her label

Friday, August 10th 2007

I know some of ya’ll heard some rumors that Brooke Valentine was let go by her label, Virgin Records, recently. Here is what she had to say about the falsehood of rumors via MySpace:

Okay true I haven’t logged in, due to the fact that I’ve been extra go-go!

Sorry for the delay:)
and special thanks to those that have been sending their love! I still read the comments daily:)

However I just had to login and straighten up a false rumor that I was dropped from my label LOL! 1st off the label that I am signed to is SUBLIMINAL ENTERTAINMENT which was distributed by Virgin Records and Virgin was responsible for marketing and promoting my records…
News Flash: I am still signed to Subliminal I’ve been fighting for a release from Virgin for a long time! and it’s no secret that they suck!

The reason my album wasn’t released was because we refused to turn the album in to Virgin Records knowing that they would just drop the ball just like they did Janet’s album and every other album they released:(

Now after all this time God answered my prayers.
I wanted to tell yall sooner but, I couldn’t speak on it because of legal mumbo jumbo… it didn’t come cheap but, it was well worth it in the end. It was so sweet that some of you felt sorry for me but, please don’t because I couldn’t be more excited with my new situation and it’s a true blessing to finally be free!
Thanks again for your real love and support!

P.S. …And I’m definitely coming!!!!!

Well I’m glad she cleared that up, and yes, I do agree with that comment on Virgin Records – LOL! I think Brooke has a lot of great potential, Chain Letter was highly underrated man, but because of Virgin’s non-promoting asses it didn’t do well as planned.

Whitney & Bobby Get BLAZED Before Heading Out to Joe’s Crab Shack!

Whitney and Bobby (dang, I miss that show) were spotted hanging out Tuesday at Joe’s Crab Shack in Alpharetta, Georgia. Is it just me? Or do those two look completely BLAZED?! Whitney has completely let herself go … who let her leave the house like that? Anyhow, Joe’s Crab Shack told TMZ that Whitney and Bobby “sat at table 103 and had a good time.” I bet they did! I’ve been to Joe’s Crab Shack on several occasions and the energy in that place is crazy! So it would, indeed, be the perfect place to go to when you’re high =)

50 Cent: “If Kanye Sells More Records … I Won’t Put Out Any More Solo CDs”

50 Cent tells SOHH.com, the internetâ€™s longest running and leading hip-hop website with over 4.5 million visitors a month, exclusively: “Let’s raise the stakes. If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I’ll no longer write music. I’ll write music and work with my other artists, but I won’t put out any more solo albums.” That sounds like a challenge to me! Now, think about it … imagine a world without 50 Cent. Wouldn’t that be nice?? Hell, instead of buying 2, I think I might end up buying 5 at the store, and 5 from iTunes. Sounds like a plan to me! Do your part too. You don’t have to buy 10 Kanye albums like me (lol), but at least buy ONE! YOU CAN END 50 CENT’S SOLO CAREER!!!
