Remember I told you that Ciara’s album wasn’t coming out this year? Well, after pushing the album back to December, Ciara’s label has now pushed the album back to the dark ages.
A Zomba label rep tells Entertainment Weekly, “The response to ‘Go Girl’ wasn’t strong enough to ignite an album. Right now, we are anticipating it for spring 2009, but we’re not gonna put another date on it.”
The bottom line is “Fantasy Ride” might not ever come out.
Remember that ongoing lawsuit I told you about involving producer Jazze Pha who discovered Ciara and helped get her a record deal with LaFace Records?
Well, it turns out Jazze Pha isn’t the plaintiff in that lawsuit after all. The plaintiff is one Anthony “TA” Tate or Anthony “Ray L” Tate, Jazze Pha’s former business partner.
I’m told if you mention Tate’s name around Jazze Pha he will go ballistic. Something about Tate stealing Ciara from Jazze and taking her to Sony BMG. Tate currently has a distribution deal with Capital Records which also distributes Sho’nuff Records, the label that Ciara was signed to.
It’s all very confusing. But click here to see the ongoing court case.
The lawsuit names the plaintiff as Futuristic Music 101 LLC, which according to the state of Georgia website, is owned by Tate. Supposedly Tate is going around Atlanta telling people Ciara has to fork over $20,000 a month to him for the rest of her career.
According to Tate’s Myspace page, he is currently managing singers J. Holiday and Teairra Mari under his Music Line/Mazz Records imprint. He still lists Ciara as being under his management as well.
Ciara is currently co-managed by Kenneth Crear, President of BEST Entertainment, and Johnny Wright, who also manages Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, the Jonas Brothers and Janet Jackson.
Is she supposed to be singing in the picture???
maybe 50 will help her pay.
Well the courts will figure it out.
@tunanny
LMAO!!!
50 gonna tell C-error yah trick yah!
@keely
I THINK it’s more like a Rhythmic Bowel-Movement…
The clinched-fists was a Dead-Giveaway to me
keely, I like your new pic!
Aw, I was really excited for her cd.
lawd……i was looking forward to her cd too.
i like ci ci. that girl can dance!
What I find interesting is that Ciara and Usher’s careers declined after they left their small time managers for the big guys. I guess there is something to be said for being managed by someone who actually loves you.
AGREE with @bird… Bigger doesn’t always equate to Better
I’ll END by expressing CiCi’s emotion over this situation with ONE of her songs (I Actually LIKE this song ALOT)
“So Hard”
I don’t think I’ve ever listened to a Ciara Cd all the way thru.
Tell her people to talk to Rhi Rhi’s people. They seem to have a good formula!
Well she didn’t won’t 50 at first.
But his money and wisdom can save her now.
ROTFLMAO @ YAH TRICK YAH….
@Elove I also love that song. I think Brian Michael Cox produced it. Big tune
@Elove: U R on punishment!!!!
@Bird: Good observation, never thought of that
@Hermosa: Thanks! Thats funny, I cant see it, why did u take ur new one off? Yeah, yeah I was on here Friday night!
@dbrown no choice words from you about jazze pha? nothing?
LMAO @ KWEEZE…
I’m done talking about him. He is so annoying to me…I bet chu his bloated azz snores real phuckin loud and can’t nobody get sleep when he’s around.
He even got fat lips…how are yo’ lips fat too?
If I heard him on the phone, I BET CHU HE SOUNDS FAT. Snortin and breathin hard…
*See what you done started…got me all worked up and I was tryin to chill.*
DEAD DEAD i am gonna be like pryn now and fall out on the keyboard.
ajheirwhirhwaiakjwijawrojt rjjaorhfohfosjjreojr

He’s the type dude that would will be having a conversation with, TURN AROUND…this nukka sleep!
Sleep apnea is beast…they be tired alllll the damn time!
Weezy…I betchu…I BETCHU…somebody gotta put his shoes on him! I’D PUT MONEY ON IT!
OHHHH…wonder if he has to stand directly over the terlit and pee? It ain’t like he can see his ding-a-ling…he’d have to have to arms of Wilt Chamberlin to reach past his GUT. He prolly sits down for #1 and #2
ROTFLMAO…I ain’t got a lick of sense.
sandra, are you sure jazze isn’t the plantiff in another lawsuit? isn’t there also a lawsuit involving her former manager? ciara needs to fall back and get her house in order…she has fallen way off…
the music business is so cutthroat
@Elove:
DB will most def. be over there wich u! LOL.
@bloggergirlz, so true.
Especially since she is only known for dancing more than singing.
Ciara time is up point blank. She was basically a flash in the pan, not a real star. She was lucky enough to have some good dance moves and a hot producer. Her 15 minutes are up. Maybe she can be on Housewives Atlanta part 2
lord lord lord. why did i get started on jazze phaz? poor thang. dbrown rips his fat butt to shreds.
you cold dbrown. cold.
don’t nobody put his shoes on. you said all of his shoes were slide in’s last time…ROTFL.

my boss is looking at me at this point….i can’t breathe again….
To many comments to read through while Boss Lady is off ym back …
Co sign baout Keelys’ PIC … anbd Bird you make a great observation.
I think CiCi’s career can be salvaged, she just has to meet with the right folks, and set forth a clear PLAN.
What? Punishment? Man….I was just sayin!
A-ight fine…
@ Naima … that is not right … lol
Well she definitely can be a dance choreographer.
Put some more of T-Pain and T.I. on a track and she might be good again.
T-Pain can save the day, I think, he helped in “Go Girl”.
DB:

Bloggers at play.
ALL I will say about Jazze is…
He IS the Roundest Human Man I’ve ever SEEN Before!!!
IF he kept his arms by his side and kept his ankles together HE would be the Perfect Weeble-Wobble EVER
Don’t be mad at me ’cause he sits down for #1 and #2.

i’m sorry. the constant “showing of my azz” on srose.com on a daily basis has made amulet feel left out.
go for it amulet.
*CRICKETS*
I like Ce-Ce she needs new management. She has the control over her image. She wanted to be adult and did not realize the media can make or break you. Her team kept them at bay for a long time. Her management handled her well and she should have kept the formula as it once was.
Ce-Ce get a grip and keep it moving.
I don’t have any jokes though.
^^^^^ *crickets*
HAHAHAHAHAH!……….then……..(crickets)
@ keely
I didn’t take my pic off, I guess you can’t see mine and yours either. . .what’s goin on?

Okay I’m out for real. lol
The sound of nature is so relaxing!
If I am not mistaken TA had Ciara first. TA tried to put together a 3 girl group called “Hearsay” he had 2 and Ciara was one of them. They wanted a singer I was managing at the time but it didn’t work out. TA used to work with Noontime I believe and she use to be around the studio all the time. So who knows how the whole shit got put together. In Atlanta everybody got their hands in projects together some kind of way.

Well I liked the video and i saw it on 106 & park as the # 1 video. Never heard the song on the radio so can’t really judge it without seeing her do those crazy dance moves.
