Then again, life with Tammi surely had its fringe benefits. Nothing close to the precious, fragile protagonist on the classic duets she would record with Marvin Gaye, her image could best be summed up by a line from one of those duets — “I play the game, a fantasy. I pretend but I’m not in reality.” The real Terrell was a hard-drinking, hard-loving, foulmouthed, erratic hornet of a woman — a virtual analog of Ruffin himself. And as she had done while with James Brown, she may have worn the consequences of it all over her body during her sadomasochistic romance with Ruffin.
Most of Motown, including Gordy, who lusted for her as well, looked away from the welts and bruises Terrellcouldn’t hide, rationalizing that she not only willingly stayed in the relationship but never really complained about it. Further, there was the old chestnut that if she was being slapped around, it was just “David being David.” Even today, Otis is no more committal about the subject than the clipped understatement that “David could be kinda rough on a lady at times.”
Within the Motown fraternity, who as students of Gordy were inured to see and treat women as mere objects, neither is Terrell much of a martyr, or even a victim. Because she gave as good as she got, some wonder just which of these two wretched souls had been more abused by the other. Otis, in fact, says that before Terrell hit town, he had “heard things” about her.
“When you’re out there on the road like we were, you hear and see things. We knew all about Tammi and James Brown. We knew how James Brown was about women, that he would flip a woman’s ass. And back then, you wouldn’t ever get the woman’s side so people would assume, family or not, he flipped her ass because she provoked him to.”
Adds Billy Wilson, “When Tammi came to Motown, she as damaged goods, mentally and physically, because of James Brown having beaten the shyt out of her. She was a hostile firecracker, a hot-tempered girl, a real handful. And what happened was, Genna was … see, not everybody kissed his ass. Genna didn’t. She was a thorn in his side. So when she’d gotten kind of dumpy, David went hustling on some major p*ssy. That was the difference between David and the rest of the Tempts. Otis never got major p*ssy. Melvin, Paul, Eddie; they had to settle for lesser p*ssy. David got major p*ssy. Let me tell you, Tammi Terrell was major p*ssy.
“Of course, she also was an accident waiting to happen. She was wild, she’d been turned on to drugs, hard drugs, cocaine. She got David hooked on drugs. That’s a fact. Look, David was an accident waiting to happen too, but she got him into all his destructive behavior. Him roughing her up, I’m not making excuses for that. But it was a factor of what Tammiwas.
And so, whoever was more to blame, these codependents in madness and excess just went ondestroying each other, and for Ruffin the worst consequences of getting “major p*ssy” would become all too clear, all too soon.

Damn, I had no idea

Y'all gone have to read the whole Miles autobiography if you want to keep up with all the fukkery

For now I'll drop this gem of an excerpt from the autobiography about a young Miles hanging out with Charlie Parker back when Miles first came to New York from St Louis:

"He was a great and genius musician, man, but he was also on of the slimiest and greediest motherfukkers who ever lived in this world, at least that I ever met. He was something.
I remember one time we was coming down to The Street to play from uptown and Bird had this white bytch in the back of the taxi with us. He had done already shot up a lot of heroin and now the motherfukker’s eating chicken— his favorite food — and drinking whiskey and telling the bytch to get down and suck his dikk. Now, I wasn’t used to that kind of shyt back then— I was hardly even drinking, I think I had just started smoking— and I definitely wasn’t into drugs yet because I was only nineteen years old and hadn’t seen no shyt like that before. Anyway, Bird noticed that I was getting kind of uptight with the woman sucking all over his dikk and everything, and him sucking on her p*ssy. So he asked if something was wrong with me, and if his doing this was bothering me. When I told him that I felt uncomfortable with them doing what they were doing in front of me, with her licking and slapping her tongue like a dog all over his dikk and him making all that moaning noise in between taking bites of chicken, I told him, “Yeah, it’s bothering me.” So you know what that motherfukker said? He told me that if it was bothering me, then I should turn my head and not pay attention I couldn’t believe that shyt, that he actually said that to me. The cab was real small and we all three were in the backseat, so where was I supposed to turn m head? What I did was to stick my head outside the taxi window, but I could still hear them motherfukkers getting down and in between, Bird smacking his lips all over that fried chicken. Like I said, he was something, all right."
Y'all young punks don't know nothing about getting your dik sucked while eating chicken wings and drinking whiskey:sas1:

According to Deborah Santana, before she married Carlos Santana she used to date Sly Stone. Deborah and Carlos divorced after 34 years of marriage. Damaging allegations regarding Sly Stone


She lost her virginity to Sly and she accuses Sly of being a former pimp.
Sly used to beat her up viciously and call her a bytch in front of his friends.
Sly made her have an abortion with a coat hanger.

That Jackson shyt :mjpls::mjpls:

Over the years, LaToya Jackson had four beautiful black men (Bobby DeBarge, Teddy Pendergrass, Howard Hewett and Prince) in pursuit of her. DeBarge said, LaToya was the inspiration behind Switch's 1979 hit "I Call Your Name."

Oddly, LaToya never showed much interest in any of these men, instead, she married a violent flesh peddler-Jack Gordon

Ced the Entertainer made a joke about her and Michael being the same person :mjlol:

@Paradise Al Green had a habit of putting his hands on women


In 1974, singer Al Green was charged in a $100,000 civil suit for allegedly beating Linda Wills in his Memphis office. According to Wills, the violence started after she asked Green, why she had been fired from her job as a business manager at Al Green Music Publishing. Both parties also had a heated dispute about back pay-and without warning, Green allegedly started beating her.

Wills was allegedly taken to a hospital by Green's sister where she was treated for contusions, bruises and bleeding from the head.

This case was eventually settled out of court.

In 1979, Al Green was cleared of assault and battery on another woman (Lovie Smith).

*It's been rumored for years that Al Green and Patti LaBelle got into a heated altercation (backstage) when they were appearing in a play. Allegedly, the argument ensued when it was revealed that Patti (was taking time off) from the play to attend her sister's funeral.

It all makes sense now. :pachaha:

"I used to think about immature things. Like, do you love me, do you want me, are you gonna call like you said you would? Is this really your real phone number?"
