Rick James /Eddie Murphy/ Prince


"One day Eddie called me and asked me to produce for him. I admittedly asked what had happened with Prince
Eddie told me he met Prince in LA and thought Prince was a fakkit. I laughed and asked him
what he meant by that he said Prince sat across from him at this meeting staring into his eyes
and a couple times he gave the impression he might be gay. I asked Eddie why it mattered
he said he didn't want a fakkit producing his record. He said prince quietly stared at him while
putting his fingers in his drink and the licking his fingers."

this to me is one of the top 5/10 moments in awards show history cause he was actually talking about beyonce funny how he died a week later
people tried to cover it up and say it was some white lady backstage that tried to blow rick off but too many people have said it was beyonce and that she was the one that tried to blow rick james off

Mr.Bedbuck himself Sammy Davis Jr.


Despite being involved with Lola Falana, Davis carried on a series of interracial romances. When he began getting serious with blonde actress Kim Novak a "contract" was allegedly put out on his life and he was threatened, ‘you will lose your other eye’ if you continue seeing her. Before ending his relationship with Novak, Davis had a friend drive him to see her while he hid out in the backseat crunched down to avoid prying eyes.

Before the alleged contract was executed, allegedly Frank Sinatra intervened and saved the day but Davis still feared for his life and married a black showgirl, Loray White. In his autobiography, he stated that he got drunk and married Loray but an old school source informed us, ‘he married Loray out of desperation.’ The marriage lasted a few months before Davis got it annulled. Loray allegedly received a $10,000 settlement and a Cadillac.

Oddly, in 1973, in appreciation for Davis' balanced approach to Satanism in the film "Poor Devil," the "Church Of Satan made Davis an honorary Warlock II. They presented an award to Davis on stage during one of his performances at the Circle Star Theater in San Carlos by Michael Aquino and Karla LaVey.

Old timers consider Novak the love of Davis' life. Months before he died of throat cancer, Altovise (Davis' widow) allowed Novak to visit. She and Sammy spent hours talking and reminiscing. A few weeks later, he died.

Bobby was always caught up in some foul shyt.

If I remember correctly, he was with Janis Joplin right before she OD'd as well. Literally. He was likely one the last person to see her alive!



She probably did some coke with Bobby and had some heroin afterward. She was done.

Not to mention his brother was killed because one of Bobby's jumpoffs left some panties in the spot he shared with his brother. His brother's girl found the panties and accuses him of cheating and killed him. Smh.



That song Harry Hippie is a dedication to his brother.

Bobby Womack just so happened to be one of the last people who saw Janis Joplin alive?!?



Brother got killed behind his creepin sloppiness. It's like Bobby just keeps topping his own exploits....

new edition and guy had beef that caused crew members to get beaten and anthony bee,guy's security manager to get killed

chaka khan hated mary j blige because mary j version of sweet thing was more popular

chaka khan used to date natalie cole's husband who used to beat her

smokey robinson was in on motown stealing alot of their artists money until rick james stepped in

bobby womack song "i wish he didn't trust me so much" was about sleeping with sam cooke wife

d'angelo's song "playa playa" is a diss song towards prince because he(prince) gave him and questlove the treatment

ya'll sleep on d'angelo but dude was really on the pro-black thing tough even back in the day he refused to sleep with madonna saying it would hurt his black female fans

marvin gaye would watch his young wife fukk other men when he would get high

bb king had 13 kids with women and couldn't remember either the woman or the child's name at times

Jeez, Madonna just offered it to ANY Brother back then. I can't even think of how D'Angelo and Madonna moved in the same circles for him to have the opportunity to sleep with her.....

Sam Cooke was the first African american to form his own independent publishing firm and constantly fought against major labels for his sovereignty

The FBI and Cointelpro had Sam under watch after he financed MLK March on Washington and his efforts to bring Malcom X and MLK together

On Dec. 11, 1964, Cooke was approached by shadowy figures who wanted to buy into his lucrative businesses. Sam declined the offer by saying, 'I like being my own man.' Later that evening, Cooke left a popular night club with a beautiful Euro Asian woman named Lisa Boyer . According to Boyer, Cooke drove her to a seedy motel in South Central and tried to rape her, when she broke free, Cooke allegedly chased her through the courtyard.



When she reached the manager's office, Cooke stormed in behind her. The motel manager Bertha Franklin was frightened by Cooke's irrational behavior, she would pull out a gun and shoot him four times, he would die instantly. This was the official story fed to the media outlets around the world.

After a brief trial, the jury deliberated for fifteen minutes and came back with a verdict of justifiable homicide. Bertha Franklin and Lisa Boyer were free.

The Cooke family hired an private investigator who uncovered the following facts:

Cooke had dated Lisa Boyer three weeks prior to his murder despite the fact that numerous people warned him about her colorful past which included prostitution. If Cooke was dating her, why would he try to rape her?

Singer Etta James revealed in her book "Rage To Survive," that Cooke was so badly beaten that his head was decapitated from his shoulders, his hands were broken and crushed, his nose was smashed and he had a two inch bump on his head. These injuries were never explained and a woman could not inflict these type of injuries.

Bertha Franklin had a .32 registered in her name yet she killed Cooke with a .22, she would move to Michigan and die eighteen months later.

Lisa Boyer would be arrested for prostitution one month after Cookes death and in 1979 she would be found guilty of second degree murder in the shooting death of her boyfriend.

I wouldn't put it past the gov't and mobsters with a foothold within the industry colluding to entrap Sam and make his death via murder, look like a justifiable homicide, and making sam look like a sex-crazed Black man.

Anything on Stacy Lattisaw ? I know about her and Johnny Gill but I feel like there is more to her leaving the industry just like that. I can her pain behind that beautiful voice.

Speaking of Johnny Gill. Him and the rest of LSG should have some stories. As should Jodeci.....I gotta do research on this....

There were rumors he had Marques Houston rape another one of his acts named Quindon back in the 90's. What's a shame is Stokes sister , rapper Smoothe "You've been played" was fine as hell. Now everytime I see that video I can't help to thunk about him.

Im glad Chris Stokes career is dead. His entire claim to fame was based around teens dancing.

man, I used to break out in a sweat trying to fight mike tyson in punchout on NES. I would have shyt my pants if mike in his prime came at me ready to scrap.

Breh, I dont know why Wesley went into the bathroom with him. Nobody would have criticized him if he had just said no, lets talk out here Mike I respect you too much for that
Props on taking the fade like a man though

Muhammad Ali in his biography had a very story about her

[AFRAM GLORY]

Drop that Carl Payne story breh

Sorry for the late reply bruh...

I don't know bout now cause I haven't been out there since june 2012 but in the valley northridge was the spot if you was trying to holla at something. Dudes were always on the prowl for them csun chicks

Byron long, yeah he used to camp out at the poppa johns right across the street from csun. I dont give a damn if it was hot, cold, raining, he would be posted up at that poppa johns with charlie mac and bunch of porn ninjas looking for somebody's freshmen baby sister

Kurupt would hover in circles in that area too. But carl payne in that weathered tahoe was always shooting his shot and getting shut down lol. Never saw him get out of his car and it seemed like he wore that white tank top and black do rag everytime i saw him. Like literally everytime I went to vitamin shoppe he would be hollering at anything and would cuss them out driving off when he got shut down.

I dont wanna derail the thread. If a celeb thread gets made I got a few stories to share.

That's ironic coming from Eddie since he was caught with a tranny and he's been dogged forever about rumors of him and Johnny Gill.

Eddie wasn't down with that gay shyt early in his career. Makes me wonder if the industry either turned him out to keep him in line or if he really WAS just giving that tranny a ride
