Tiffany Evans Speaks On The Evil in the Music Industry

Young singer/actress Tiffany Evans spoke her mind on Rihanna’s new single and the evil she sees in the music industry. Industry folks, including bloggers who felt threatened by her words, came for her yesterday on the social micro-blogging site Twitter.com.

Tiffany was so upset at the abuse heaped on her on Twitter.com yesterday that she contemplated deleting her Twitter page. Thankfully, she didn’t delete her page because her young voice needs to be heard.

Do you want to know why the music industry is falling apart or why so many rappers are suddenly getting locked up when they seemingly couldn’t get arrested for murder in the past?

Do you want to know why industry veteran Shakir Stewart took his own life or why so many industry people are strung out on drugs and their lives are quickly unraveling? Listen to the young’n Tiffany.

People might disagree with what you have to say, but they can’t tell you how to think! Somehow, someway the truth always comes to light!

Russian Roulette= Suicidal Rate gon sky rocket!

You gotta watch what u say. Because there are a lot of weak people in the world. They are susceptible to anything so anything you say or do some people actually do listen. So make sure its nothing bad. Its okay to be deep,but not murder deep.

Man! I really wish I could tell you guys what the industry really is and what stars are apart of destroying this world. The stars who worship satan,and those who have killed to get the respect they have now. You’d be verrrry surprise. Some of your favorite people pretend to worship God but they only do that to save face. Or seem innocent.

Satan was head of music in heaven. He uses influential people…to help influence the world. Think about that. Once u make a certain amount of money. Just know that that’s when they ask u to join. To get in you have accept the beast, worship. Once you join they assist u with ur career.make u huge.only if u agree and obey to destroy Gods word.and his children.

Ppl listen and pay attention. Its a war going on right now between Good and Evil. Evil will rule this world for a min. The people that have this power are the people that RULE the whole world. I’m done I won’t say anymore before I get in trouble.

I will hit up Tiffany Evans later on Twitter to see if she wants to come on Sandrarose.com and do a Live Chat about this controversy.

Now Miss Evans should’ve known people were going to come for her. Not so much because she is jealous of Rihanna, but that right there is whistleblowing at its finest. Maybe she has some valid points, but taking to Twitter about it was not such a good choice. These celebritites are going to learn that Twitter aint for EVERYTHING.

The Divine Ms. K

Whether her album went platinum or only made wood status – she still may have some valid points.

Ya’ll better stop thinking record sales = talent and just because she speaks out about another artist’s record does not means she’s jealous or a hater. She could just be being honest about what she she’s and calling her out her name just because she had the audacity to not like a song is just childish and ridiculous on a supposedly grown-up person’s part.

at @ this sucking and f-ing for tracks. If you didn’t see it, stop throwing stuff out there like that.
heavn_sent

Isn’t this the little girl whose family was homeless?? Wow..she looks…ummmm..different. I don’t remember the show where she first got her shot to fame. But here’s the thing, everybody that has talent is not necessarily going to be a recording artitst..and a lot of people who don’t are (again, refraining from naming the guilty) however, that doesn;t stop them from loving or making a living with their craft. There are SO many other ways to make money in the industry. Anywho..I don’t know if she literally means that people worship..perhaps it’s symbolism. Some do sell their souls, i.e., trade in their values, or do things they would normally consider outrageous for the fame. And FAR too many people (SR members included) claim to be good Christians, throwing God up in your face when it’s convenient or popular, when the reality is that they are far from Christ-like. i’m just sayin…

Well I read this on another blog last night. Someone left a link to another site in the comments section. I clicked the link and sat there reading with my mouth hanging open for about 30 minutes. Now, I am by NO MEANS a conspiracy theorist, but y’all, this other site was breaking ish down about the industry and the whole illuminatti(sp) movement! The author of the particular post broke down the WHOLE ENITRE MTV awards shows. He “revealed” how a lot of the performances (Lady GaGa’s in particular) were paying homage to the Masons. I am the epitome of a skeptic, but it really made me pause. If tobacco companies can subliminally advertise to the under-aged youth, who’s to say that the music industry is not pushing its’ own(Satanic) agenda through subliminal imagery and lyrics. Just food for thought.
The Divine Ms. K

@ Mizz Dallas – hey homie!

I took my Twitter down – got bored with it and never checked it, but I am thinking about getting it back ONLY bcuz so many of the SR fam is on there. lol

Why aren’t demons messing with me like that? That’s because they are no match for the Christ in me.I got the demons saying, “Now Jesus I know. Paul I know. Shwana aka Attorneymom I know. But who are you?”

If you don’t have Christ in your heart, don’t mess with these demons. You are no match for them without the Blood of Jesus.

good morning mrs H

some of the stuff she said can be tru but just flat out saying the suicide rate gone skyrocket is jumping off the deep end i say. the song dont say go kill yourself
KaraZ

Kudos to Tiffany Evans for speaking the truth as she sees it. I happen to agree with just about everything she said.
I’m sure most Christians who attend a living church can go through their pastor’s archives and find at least one sermon dedicated to today’s music furthering Satan’s agenda.

It’s not just a beat we’re listening to, it’s a message that’s feeding our spirits as well. What are we feeding our spirits when we listen to certain records, russian roulette? Wasted? LOL smiley Face? You’re not feeding anything but poison into your spirit, these popular songs do not edify you in any way shape or form. It’s never just a song or just a beat; please Christians get into the word and learn for yourself. I used to really think music was just music, until I was challenged one day to record my moods/actions after listening to music. When I listened to aggressive music, i took on that personality trait… of course before I was saying the music just got me “crunk” but that’s not quite it.

All my readers, I suggest you pick up any of Frank Perretti’s novels; reading some of those books has helped me visual the spiritual war we are all in now. We’re not fighting against flesh & blood, but against powers and principalities… Anyways, Tiffany is going to get further attacked because she said this & I won’t be surprised if she has a personal mishap or something come out that is damaging to her image and makes her seem like she’s a hypocrite for putting this out there.

i dont think tiffany was in tyler perry’s movie, i could be wrong. i remember her being on Law and order SVU a few years ago, she did an awesome job by the way. I loved her Promise Ring song, but that “im grown” song turned me off :/ it was horrible.

No problem LJ. Keep in mind that some of the people on the site were going off the deep end, but majority of what was said made sooo much sense, I couldn’t dismiss it entirely as propaganda.

————————————————————–

It’s really not my place to judge people, I mean I can’t tell what someone’s relationship with God really is, but you’re absolutely right, by their fruits you absolutely know them. Those who claim Jesus but choose to “go hard” and call people out their name; those who claim Jesus is my savior, but use every opportunity to be sexually suggestive; those who claim Jesus, but stay on the fence when he’s brought up… by their fruits you shall indeed know them.

Hey Sandra, don’t ban me for this, but anyone interested can always visit victoryatl.com website to listen to past sermons… about spiritual war, listen to the War of the World Series esp.

@flyqt… try to record your thoughts after every song. For me, I had to stop listening to certain artists period because their music almost always made me act angry and I’m just not an angry person. Luda’s Move bish, can’t listen to that in the car, I was going like 90 on the highway listening to that song & I wasn’t even in a rush, just wasn’t paying attention. Certain songs immediately bring up sexual thoughts or plain ole lust into my mind, yeah so enjoy your assignment tell me what you think.

Beyonce even said her self “I have someone else that takes over when it’s time for me to work and when I’m on stage, this alter ego that I’ve created that kind of protects me and who I really am”. *side eye*

Good Morning All!

What part of the enemy originally being the minister of music in heaven do folks not understand? I know most might understand the concept, but one has to really marinate on that fact to understand what it can mean in weight to the music industry today. That dirty thang is all off in the music business! He lost his position in Heaven, and picked right back up on Earth. That’s all a part of the battle.

Tiffany Evans – kudos to you for speaking out. God still rules over all, so the ones who think they have power are actually powerless. But as many other concerned members of the SR family have already stated, I state again – expect to be attacked, but you’ll be straight. Stay suited up in the full armour of God.

@Lovely – Thank you Lady :-)I was just talking with my Mom last night, and we are just fed up with people not being able to separate the flesh from the spirit, and start walking in the spirit. The thought of the flesh dying away just terrifies some people; that’s why they fight for this worldly mess.

Throwing scriptures is a nice gesture. Really it is. But sense has to be made of them for some – break that thing down so that we won’t lose so many. This is a war. Contrary to popular belief (Mr. Chris Brown) we ARE responsible for more than just our own souls. Take a life and don’t repent and watch how fast those draws burn up on judgement day. Or get your word but don’t minister to or teach others (Jesus taught, and ministered) and you will be held accountable. Faith without works is dead. I’m finished. Ain’t no mo’.
wiggy2272003

Of course music changes your mood! That is nothing new. And there are/were very aggressive classical songs. Depressing classical songs. All genres have the range of all moods in songs. So what? Your actions are still your own. You are still responsible for them.
Is it christlike to take to twitter accusing your brothers and sisters of things of which you have no proof?
Always has and always will be Good and Evil.
All this type of secret stuff does is give it power. Lets say just for the sake of argument RhiRhi did make a deal with the devil for her level of fame and worships him. And yes she makes songs they play on the radio and maybe they even have subliminal messages playiing in the backround. So what? Aint gonna make me or anybody living right do shit I know is wrong or don’t wanna do.

@KC

im not perfect but i’m annoyed when people say the line “ye without sin shall cast the first stone” that is the most overused line ever.If that was the case then no one should chastise their children or tell people whats right or wrong we are all not perfect but we are here to help one another and to do better we have to know and be better .

And for this topic Romans 3:23 would be a better scripture to quote “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” and my mom keeps telling me “Faith without works is dead”
KayCeiSoul

@ missy: We’re eye to eye. I said I was done, but God said no.

Some people become so complacent with sin that they defend it. The enemy will have them so bound that they think no one is supposed to call that sin out. Calling sin and the enemy out is supposed to be the normal, not the “oh I don’t have the right to judge people” . If anyone in my circle is sinning, I’m going to speak my peace, and leave it in the hands of God. I can get the burden of knowing right off my sheet of accountability. I will not judge them, and will continue to love them, but if I have to seperate myself because of the sin, then I will. And quickly.

Man has no heaven or hell to put another man in; but God hates sin, and so do I. Refusal to condone sin is NOT passing judgement. Calling sin out is NOT passing judgement. I think Tiffany did what she was called to do, and I think she’s a brave young lady.

I’m glad I can listen to music and it does not effect me, I call it blessed. Because truly I cna not see how a song playing can make you want to go bust down five ninja from the block. A song can not make me take my life, and a song can not make me go stick up some ninja’s, rob some kids, slap some old folks and go out and ho. But hey I can only speak for myself. And I thank God I have my own mind and do what I want to do. It’s only entertainment and if it’s to much for me I will turn it off.

She is definitely speaking the truth. I have been researching this stuff for the past few months and I’m just SHOCKED that she came out and said that. She better be VERY careful they don’t take people speaking out too lightly.

P.S. it doesn’t matter what her intentions are, if she’s working on an album, what she does behind close doors…the fact of the matter is what she spoke is true.
terika83

P.S.S….don’t get it twisted…Rihanna is FAR from being the only one…she was merely an example in Tiffany’s letter.
http://nwmasssmedia.com NichelleWalker/nwmasssmedia.com

when people kept saying GOd hates sin do you live the way, are you saved, set apart from the world. DO you have a boyfriend? Do you wear pants? Do you wear make up? Do you cuss, Do you lie when you need to? Do you drive past the speed limit? all of those things are sin, it’s just like when a person gets married than they look at you like there better cuz there not sinning any longer. I’m like bish please you was just a ho a week ago keep it moving.

I don’t condone anything but it cracks me up how people are bible pusher when needed. I never like Rihanna music and never used my hard earned $$ to buy a cd. However, you never know what you manger at work is into. If you found out he loves the devil are you gonna quit your job? No cuz your not worried about him and what he does in his free time is his business.

People call it a conspiracy theory but if you go back and research the symbols and the things celebs say and do and what they REALLY mean….no conspiracy or theory at all.

People know they can defend some sin!
bk2atl

I think it’s funny that we would probably all agree that Gospel music has an effect on us. It makes you “feel good”, it evokes emotions that people may otherwise keep bottled up. So is it really that hard to admit that secular music can have the same “type” of effect. How many times have you listened to a love song that you swore was written just for you and your situation? How many times have you been at church and the choir sang something sooo powerful that grown man were down on their knees weeping and sobbing? Just think about it for a minute. There are messages in music folks. Some are blatant while others are more subtle. How many things were we taught as little children in school that were put into rhyme/verse format? ABC song anyone?

THE DEVIL’S GREATEST TRICK WAS CONVINCING THIS WORLD THAT HE DOESN’T EXIST.

***********************************************
I stand strong behind the above statement I made earlier.
I am not sin free; it is a well known fact that there is not a person walking this earth that is without sin, but that still doesn’t make it right. That is why Jesus was sent. For second chances.

My stance is to call it out when I see it, try to make the situation right through encouragement, prayer, and other avenues, continue to love and leave it to God. If you have a problem with my war strategies then that’s absolutely fine. I expect conflict when I’m standing in the gap – does not surprise me at all.

I’m sorry, but chick seems very young. When you put money and excess into any situation, it gets muddy and dangerous.

So she wanted to sing and now she recognizes that the record BUSINESS ain’t after just talent? Whateva. You can see Britney Spears to recognize that the game comes harder than just a good voice and earnestness.

And then she throws the Lawd into it? Please. Professed Christian BEEN fakin’ the funk! And mixed with the music biz, then you KNOW there’s some evil isht going down. Get real!

Since the business is so evil, I’ll expect her to be in a lounge or church someone and not trying to work a record deal, right?

Its like wanting to be a model, then being made ’cause you’re expected to be less than 100 lbs.

Everybody going in hard on her, but these people must not read their Bibles or else they would know that there is truth in what she is saying. Words are so powerful. When you go to church on Sunday, they always talk about be careful what you ask for because you just might get it. That is so true, also I do believe that you can speak things into existence. Don’t knock Tiffany. If you don’t believe what she says fine, but there is truth. Notice how the children all look up to rappers and singers instead of lawyers, doctors,teachers, etc. Music is very influential. People tease me because songs with certain lyrics get no play around my kids. When Sean Kingston’s song was a hit, I hated my son singing that. Told him to listen to the lyrics. No girl is ever too beautiful for you and should have you suicidal. Lyrics are more important than the beatand that is how evil reaches out. You end up speaking it by singing it. Be careful.

I just read the lyrics to Rhianna/Ne Yo’s song and it sounds to me like it’s a metaphor for unprotected sex. She’s scared he’s gonna leave her if she doesn’t do it. That’s my interpretation.
