Brandy's record label just clapped back, saying the singer has no business comparing her contract to slavery ... since it's been more than a decade since she dropped a hit.
A rep for Chameleon Entertainment CEO Breyon Prescott tells TMZ ... Brandy's allegations are a desperate ploy to drum up publicity instead of facing facts -- her best days are behind her. The rep says Breyon took a risk "signing an artist that hasn't had a chart single success since the early 2000's."
We broke the story ... Brandy sued Chameleon, saying it jeopardized her career when it tried to prevent her from recording and releasing new music, among other things.
Chameleon's rep also believes Brandy made a bonehead PR move by making the slavery comparison due to racial tensions across the country right now.
We're told Brandy and her lawyer reviewed the contract before signing, so Chameleon finds it odd she's now crying foul.

I honestly believe she released B&P as a way to see if maybe she could go it on her own, but soon realized that it's not going to be as simple as creating her own imprint and releasing mess. Breyon let her play around a bit but may have slapped her with a dose of reality afterward.
And to top that off B&P didn't do that well at all, she tried her best to turn it into a movement by calling on her celeb friends to drum up interest but that didn't even prove to be effective. Sometimes there's no better promotion than what a label can provide. I think she realized that as well.
Just my opinionata.
I agree.
B&P was cute, but she doesn't do the indie thing well tbh.
She needs a label, and a good one.

Ugh this so so disheartening. I know if I was in her shoes I'd give up on music. So it speaks to her character that she's still grinding even through this. I just feel like she can't catch a damn break.
Fuck Breyon.
It pisses me off that they keep putting emphasis on "no 1 wanted her"
I just highly got damn doubt it ..
I don't know how he even got a meeting with Brandy..

the sad thing is, she isn't. She was supposedly recording a TON even right before the tour. If she were stepping away from music, then I don't think she'd be going so hard at Breyon
There are at least two labels interested in her, and epic was gonna sign her to a normal deal until Breyon suggested a 360 so he can gain even more from the deal. That's when shit went left

This entire deal screamed TRAP!
When I first heard she was with him I threw up because I remembered the mess between he and Jamie foxx
This is so unfair to the legacy that she's been building and her fans
We are FUCKED
he knows Universal has been interested in Brandy for over a year now. He'd let her go if he couldn't get money and if she was no longer a commodity
he's an idiot
from what I was told .. Last year
La reid wanted her
I'm not feeling these lies he's toting
It's unbelievable but so easy to believe from those that aren't in the know

I'm so over this mess...
The music industry is messed up. It's full of people who are out for themselves. They will walk over you to get what they want. Even sabotaging others. Many artists get fucked over.

If she hasn't had "chart single success" (whatever that means) then why won't he just anule the contract and let her go?
Because he knows she can be lucrative in other avenues and wants in on that 360.

And Breyon didn't lose any money from the 2/11 ordeal
what was the gross profit that he pocketed?
Weird that she made him a substantial amount money and he's referring to the deal as a mistake . And putting the brakes on another release.
well, I should say "allegedly" he didn't lose money like he's stating
He's isn't putting brakes on a release. He's actually begging her to release
with him ddfffff and it's not happening.
I'm mad that everyone warned her about him and she signed with him anyway, though. Maybe it was too late but a 5-6 album deal? smh
That was unrealistic from the jump
I believe bits and pieces from both sides though. I don't think anyone can truly play victim here
Although obviously I'm a fan of Brandy and couldn't care less about Breyon
:overit:
This so messy
And what exactly is he responding to? I don't remember her saying anything.
I'm surprised she even signed a deal with this dude. As long as she's been around in the industry she should know how to spot some shady mess.

and everywhere else
Safe to say Ghan probably won't release this year, however I can't really be mad at her with this mess goin on
Maybe she can talk to someone like Jay/Bey or Diddy
Someone who can buy out the contract and put her own with them; someone with power and pull.

I don't think she would reach out to anyone tbh Brandy doesn't seem like the type of person to ask for help when in need in my opinion
If she's a has been who "hasn't had a hit since early 2000's " then terminate her fucking contract
Breton should be happy she bothered to fuck with his short nigger self:uhh:
This is slander
Don't labels drop artists who have no potential. That's basically what was said here
What if she pulled a drake and just release a lump sum of albums back to back. As long as it's 6 she'll be out of the contract right? :hmph:
Quote from: Superdib on July 20, 2016, 08:56:26 PM
Brandy's record label just clapped back, saying the singer has no business comparing her contract to slavery ... since it's been more than a decade since she dropped a hit.
A rep for Chameleon Entertainment CEO Breyon Prescott tells TMZ ... Brandy's allegations are a desperate ploy to drum up publicity instead of facing facts -- her best days are behind her. The rep says Breyon took a risk "signing an artist that hasn't had a chart single success since the early 2000's."
We broke the story ... Brandy sued Chameleon, saying it jeopardized her career when it tried to prevent her from recording and releasing new music, among other things.
Chameleon's rep also believes Brandy made a bonehead PR move by making the slavery comparison due to racial tensions across the country right now.
We're told Brandy and her lawyer reviewed the contract before signing, so Chameleon finds it odd she's now crying foul.
http://www.tmz.com/2016/07/20/brandy-contract-lawsuit-slavery/
No shade, but if Breyon feels Brandy is such a "has-been", why he is still holding on to her?
Doesn't make sense.
You want to act like she isn't legend?
Then let her go.

I just want Brandy to continue to have a clear mind and get through this.

That's what I would have done. If it has to be a 360 deal or else, I would sign it, release an bunch of mess records, no tours, no tv, then close out the deal.
I don't know for sure if she can get away with that, though.
Ghan should release like 5 Greatest or Best of Messes and an Alber
she signed a 6 album deal?

Come on Ghan... Find them loopholes!
If there's no way around this, I would release the 5 albums back to back.
No single rollout. No big promo. No videos.
Just released all the damn songs via ITUNES only (no CDs) and keep it fucking moving.
The fans won't care. We'll have music.

Brandy needs to bring the focus back to her music.
I feel like she is making press for all the wrong shit right now.
She should drop a '#FreeBrandy' Mixtape
things can get a bit nasty. Stuff like this can damage Bran's image a bit.
I just hope this gets resolved real soon. I need Bran 100% free and happy. Hopefully NY can close the whole thing in a few months
:melmel:
at this point i feel more damage is being done with so much time gone. She's lost the steam on almost every venture she's had including Chicago.
She needs to just finish her deal with Breyon under the stipulation that MBK still manages her (which btw what happened to jrob?). At the end of the day be it the type of treatment you want or not, it's still the opportunity to put out new music. Re-touch some unreleased tracks (which i'm sure there's hundreds still in her vault), do some remixes and make the best of it. I'm sure there's more involved than that but like I said more damage is being done by waiting and fighting. At the end of the day, from what it sounds, there's no reason they would or should let her out of her contract. Even if Bran was to pay her way out, they can decline that just to be spiteful.
It also doesn't matter if Bran is a has-been. At the end of the day she still sells out shows and still makes good money so if they can get a piece of that, why not? its' not like they (chameleon) have a full money-making roster.
I think she should fuel this shit into her work. Make a full set of albums, each telling a story picking up from the previous, and throw in some tracks related to everything going on. Get angry, be a bitch and put it all in the music. She can put out 5 albums in 3 years if she really wanted to. Work it the fuck out!
....cause tbh I'm missing the mystique that is Brandy. I get her personal life is her personal life but the snapchats and left-field venting has sort of made me look at her in a different light and not necessarily a bad light but it's not that mysterious light that i looked at her in before. I've always said, a part of being a celebrity and an artist is keeping the distance. Not letting people in TOO much. The mysteriousness of an artist is part of their image. When you let people in TOO much, that appeal begins to go away. I look at videos of Bran on TRL and during Full Moon era and there was this mystique about her that made me say "I want to know more..."....I feel like that's gone and I don't really know if I like that.

Well the album production still must be funded. Writers and producers aren't going to work for free. It sounds like that was part of the issue when she began work on the next album following Two Eleven...

Oomf You are right, they only have Jamie Fox and Jodeci.
Didn't the article stipulate how much she was given to record? Breyon isn't' new at this and I'm sure that he knows people have to get paid. I do think one of the issues is definitely the creative direction. Bran wants control. She let Breyon do his thing with 2/11 and she didn't like the outcome so now she sees that she needs to just do her own thing. Unfortunately, it's too late for that...papers are signed. Her best bet (if this doesn't go in her favor) is to speak to Breyon and his team about having more control over creative direction.
From a social media standpoint nobody is really fueling this story, it will die by tonight. Which is good, however I see and hear most people siding with Brandy.
With that said, Brandy shouldn't just release music for the sake of doing it. If shit doesn't sell well any money she gets from anything will go to recoup. No fucking thanks, and I love Bran to much to watch her do 5 albums of half ass shit just to fund Breyons bullshit.
I truly believe Brandy signed that contract because she wanted to give her fans the album they have been asking for and demanding. Before 2/11 it was the same lack of patience from her fan base. Sad thing is, as soon as PID dropped people were ready for a new song. Soon as the album dropped people wanted to know when was the next. This is why I will always encourage Bran to take her time regardless of what the fans say, because for most of us it's about immediate gratification regardless of where that may leave Bran.
Bran fuck the music biz get money from touring and other STABLE gigs.
If I was Bran, I would do a states tour with ALL new songs.
They can't say shit if it's not recorded and sold.
Release new music LIVE. That could really be her thing. Her new album is a live fucking show
thats actually a pretty AWESOME idea
she's been through worse though :dead:

I do feel like now that bran wants to do her own thing she legally can't so now she's playing victim.nlets be honest sis has been doing a lot on her Instagram. (And that's fine and dandy) but you can't expect them to not clap back. And if Breyon feels no one is checking for her why keep her signed on your roster?

To be petty. He's a man at the end of the day and she's bruising his ego. Plus she's lucrative in other areas.

My thoughts on this whole situation is, what looked good in theory wasn't good in fact. And I believed Brandy thought this situation was the right fit for her at that point in her life. I feel like Brandy as an artist felt that Two Eleven had more life beyond the 2 singles that were given and of course that could've laid to a fallen out between artist and owner. So no, she wasn't getting wiped and sold, but her situation clearly felt like slavery due to her putting in countless work and not getting that proper coins. Slavery isn't always defined as what we are taught in history. But to end this point, when a man has to attack a female no matter what the situation may be, he ends up looking like a bitch. Chameleon didn't make Brandy who she is, Willie Jr and Sonja Norwood did. Brandy sis, you should've know that any company named "Chameleon" was bound to turn there colors when shit wasn't right.
Ppl in the Shaderoom comments are saying for Jay-Z to buy her out and add her to Roc Nation....
TBH I would love Brandy on GOOD Music but I know her or Ray-J wouldn't let that happen...
Bran already passed on roc nation
Doubt they are interested today.. They wanted her so bad back then
All I know is time is ticking

I just realized last week that this will mark the first time that Brandy will release later than a 4 years break. :unsure:
lets just hope it doesnt become a 5 years gap

which is why I said this hold up is causing her more harm than good. we all have said time and time again, Bran can't afford to just disappear.
if she can't get out of this she needs to make the best of it and put out some music. find loopholes to make it work in your favor.
Did Jrob delete his instagram?
Also they talked about this on TMZ live today.
Sounds like the troubles started with her push for a 3rd single, specifically DYK, and when she started working on the follow-up album (we know she was in the studio constantly) they refused to pay for it. My guess is they wouldn't pay for it unless she signed the 360 deal with Epic which she refuses so now they owe her money. Her contract with them promised the funding for her projects.

T4P. I missed the episode. ANd I think JRob either deleted it or changed his handle. Can't find him anywhere
in the worst scenario where the LAW of NY or whatever state denies the demand..... do you think Bran will accept to sign a new deal or release the next album for him?
or could she consider..... not releasing anymore? maybe in an attempt to piss Breyon off and see if he drops her?

Honestly if NY dismisses it the way LA did, the ball will be in her court. I highly doubt Breyon is going to let go of her anytime soon so she may have to just follow through with the Epic deal, or maybe they can negotiate a better 360 deal where they would take a smaller percentage. Idk. The deal with Epic was mostly, if not entirely for distribution.
I'm about to post the court documents from the LA dismissal.

From the singersroom
The deal with epic was a $600k deal with a $75k advance. 2/11 cost about $1m btw and they made that money back.
Ok so there was a rule that they have to go to court in ny if they have disagreements? So she might have a better chance over there
WOW, how did Singersroom got those documents?
Maybe someone from Brans team leaked it himself to help Bran to get more support or something?
Tbh I wouldn't be mad at her just releasing 5 more albums back to back and then peacing out of that contract (didn't Prince do this?). I mean she already recorded one album with Rico. Add a few more songs to the DJ Camper EP. Was the BMCox album before or after Human?
Anyway, point is she's got a lot of songs under her belt with RCA already. I know it's not that cut and dry but churn out those albums, do NOTHING else (no broadway, tv, nothing) so hobbit can't collect and then leave his ass.

Honestly, I wouldn't want the money they owe her at this point.
Just get rid of them altogether.
But it's hard to say what is what in that contract.
Now WAIT. Let me review these documents a bit
Can EPs be counted as albums?
Don't quote me hun. Not in this thread. Move along.
what the fucks

Something tells me he wouldn't let her go.
He'd continue to be a jackass.
Brandy is allowed to perform new songs live right? I liked that idea.
I think that's what she should do going forward if she can't release albums.

This is what I've been trying to figure out. She could do a damn live LIVE album with new/unreleased tracks.

The most annoying thing about this situation is, a contract is a contract...
And Brandy signed it.
It'd be a shame, if this situation allows a major gap in her release of music.
Especially at her relatively young age.
You may have to just make the contract work in your favor.
Honor it. And then move on.
Don't worry about sales, etc.
Like, at this point, no one is selling.
Who cares.

I hope the opposite is the case. I wonder if this situation will get her to do back-to-back releases.

Brandy's record label just clapped back, saying the singer has no business comparing her contract to slavery ... since it's been more than a decade since she dropped a hit.
A rep for Chameleon Entertainment CEO Breyon Prescott tells TMZ ... Brandy's allegations are a desperate ploy to drum up publicity instead of facing facts -- her best days are behind her. The rep says Breyon took a risk "signing an artist that hasn't had a chart single success since the early 2000's."
We broke the story ... Brandy sued Chameleon, saying it jeopardized her career when it tried to prevent her from recording and releasing new music, among other things.
Chameleon's rep also believes Brandy made a bonehead PR move by making the slavery comparison due to racial tensions across the country right now.
We're told Brandy and her lawyer reviewed the contract before signing, so Chameleon finds it odd she's now crying foul.
http://www.tmz.com/2016/07/20/brandy-contract-lawsuit-slavery/
No shade, but if Breyon feels Brandy is such a "has-been", why he is still holding on to her?
Doesn't make sense.
You want to act like she isn't legend?
Then let her go.

I would hope so.
But she'd have to kind of let this fight go and get to work.
fff she's going to go OFF on her next project :plzstop: The vocal that's about to pour out of this woman after this foolery :loose2when:
She could make the 5-to-5 creative.
Just focus on the core fans.
Don't worry about the typical album rollout.

Lets all just pray for our sistah ok. We love her and want the best for her right? So lets lift up prays for her. We can't help her because we aren't with her, but we can do this. :wub:
FORGET RECORDING! ONLY LIVE ALBUMS!
Y'all sound fuckin ridiculous
(http://www.vh1.com/news/wp-content/uploads/blog.vh1.com/2013/07/RunOver2-1373919566.gif)
Who is her lawyer, and why didn't they review that contract a second time to see that venue clause?
Brandy, good luck 2 ya!
Breyon is not new to this shit. That live album idea is the pits. What next, change her name and sell the albums as part of the ticket to the shows? There is a legacy attached to these projects. I say fight, but make sure your lawyers are on it, because although they dismissed on the grounds of a venue clause, it also says she and her lawyers failed to provide evidence of her claim(s).
Mama Sonja tweets:Quote"umm u got me out of the way, own a shell rec label, u want mgmt, pub, part of wht was done b4 u, double dip wk 4 epic, 3yrs hostage. im back"
Quote"If u know anything about litigation, u will remain silent! Any & every stupid thing u say can be used against u. That doesn't apply to me."
She responded to a fan that she wasn't back in the role of management but seems like she's helping Brandy out in this particular situation. I'm so glad!!! Sonja is a force. And she's ready to scalp BreyOFF bald
