The posts will be slow today because I’m currently handling personal business. My apologies to my loyal readers who visit Sandrarose.com daily for the latest up-to-date (accurate) celebrity news & entertainment.
Yesterday I wrote a post about a reckless rumor that was tweeted on the social networking website Twitter.com by Atlanta mix DJ Greg Street who holds down the 6-10 spot on V-103.
As some of you know, Street took to Twitter.com on Sunday to announce “Breaking News” alleging that T.I.’s road manager Clay Evans slapped AG Entertainment boss Alex Gidewon in the face during a dispute over VIP wrist bands at T.I.’s Farewell concert after party at the Velvet Room. Even after being corrected by numerous individuals, including myself, Street stuck to his story alleging that Evans told him he slapped Gidewon — a V-103 client whose substantial advertising dollars makes up a sizable portion of V-103’s operating budget.
Anyone who does business in the corporate world knows you that never throw your advertisers under the bus or disrespect your advertisers in a public forum — unless you’re bent on committing career suicide. This is not about me — as AJC writer Rodney Ho tried to make it out to be in a blog post on AJC.com yesterday — this is about a radio DJ who is more like a loose cannon, running amok disparaging one of his employer’s biggest accounts.
Street has become a liability to V-103, and if V-103 management doesn’t think so then maybe their other advertisers should take heed because they might be going under the bus next.
Clay Evans and Tracye Bryant, who works for T.I.’s label Grand Hustle and who was also smeared by Street on Twitter, reached out to Sandrarose.com yesterday to set the story straight.
Said Clay Evans via phone:
Beyond the ignorance of Greg [Street], I just really wanted anybody involved to know that there was no violence perpetuated. I have been in a friendship with Alex [Gidewon] for well over 15 years and I value our friendship. It was a verbal altercation in the heat of the battle of what we do. And it just so happens that it was done publicly. On a personal level, I have way too much respect for Alex and his entire family. I have relationships with Alex and his entire family.
And it was just a situation that occurred between friends. No malice was meant, no recourse, no intentions of glory. Beyond the friendship, it was business. We have done numerous business together from humble beginnings. So I don’t want anybody to think that there was a vendetta for Alex and that there was any, like malice. It was just a verbal exchange that was done in the heat of battle, and unfortunately some people used it as their opportunity to dig at somebody that they had personal issues with anyway. He and I would have spoken about it the next day. This is not the first argument that we have had, you know what I mean? I have genuine love for him and his family, you know what I mean? And it hurts me that probably now me and him can’t get to talk.
It’s just unfortunate that it involves this unnecessary attention. That two individuals that have sat down and broke thousands and thousands of dollars amongst each other. Beyond that, our friendship has spanned over 15 years. It’s like two brothers, you know what I mean? Everyone knows that Alex is high strung and I’m high strung and we bumped heads, that’s all. And we’re going to continue to do business together and we’re going to continue to be amongst each other, you know. Some people feel this is their opportunity for their personal gain. And I don’t agree with it and I don’t want it to go any further. It’s insulting to me. We’re friends. It bothers me a lot and that’s what it is.
Tracye Bryant whose name was dragged into the drama by Street, added:
It’s going too far basically. It’s going way too far. I don’t think anybody expected for it to go this far.
Alex Gidewon is expected to sit down with CBS honchos today to air out his grievance. CBS Radio, Inc. is the parent company of V-103.
Im waiting on zuley to comment about Alex in 1,2,3
That was 2 much 2 read about something I don’t care about. So somebody from TI camp slapped Alex (that I only know thru this site). I guess we won’t be seeing them at the secret party tomorrow.
@ MizzDallas wait till Zuley sees him without his fitted cap.
yea way to much to read. next post sandra
Is Clay is the brown skin cutie in the pics??? Yum! Oh yeah I couldn’t read through all that maddness…don’t care…
I said yesterday Clay was a cutie. I noticed that on TIs show and Alex is not cute to me.
Paging Zuley!
Yesturday when I read that post, I thought to myself why does this brother Sandra so much? Lightbulb moment: She had a bone to pick with Gregg Street…

~~~~~~~~~~
Too bad I took the time to read it. I don’t even know these ppl. The letter repeated itself. “You know”. LOL.
this is so Petty??….and strictly for ATL residents who MAy care.
CLAY EVANS THE NEW BOSS MAN NOW AROUND TOWN. MONEY DONT MEAN NOTHING..alex STATUS JUST WENT waaaaaaaaaaay d o w n.
I wish philadelphia had a urban blog maybe i should start one…….
OFF TOPIC.
I want to send a RIP to Mike Tyson daughter. My heart goes out to the family more so the mother who I’m sure is having a hard time accepting this.
They made it seem as though Greg made up the entire thing, they did get into a heated argument according to what I just read. Plus who really cares???
@sponge
Do you listen to charlamagne morning radio show..?
@iscream – I just finished reading about that – her big brother found her…so sad. I send out prayers and condolences.
bbye greg street- i guess you wont be rockin at 6ock nomo.. i already miss ya ..
@ Mizz
Do you listen to him? I don’t think I’d be able to. Whenever Wendy was out and her covered the show I never felt he was strong on his own. But I could be wrong. I would like to know how he’s doing though.
@Ice That is heartbreaking indeed. My sister lost a child and like Shirley Mclain said in Terms of Endearment there is NOTHING harder.
My prayers are with the Tyson family.
@sponge
Do you listen to charlamagne morning radio show..?
Yes.. he funny, i miss mizz jones tho she was better
O.K so (agreeing with attorney mom…YOU KNOW), I’m thinking dude did actually slap Alex but didn’t expect it to get out. He’s doing too much explaining like he probably didn’t mean to slap Alex but in the heat of the moment he did and now he thinks because dude put it out there he and Alex isn’t going to be friends anymore because Alex took the biotch slap.
Analyzing since there’s nothing else to do…lol
@ Sponge I loved Jones. I was hurt shot 97 replaced her with Big coon-boi. I don’t even listen to them @ all. & they fired her while she was pregnant.
@ Daisy, yeah it is heartbreaking. I feel so bad and pray she isn’t blaming herself. @ that age kids get into so much. Parenting doesn’t come with a handbook and can be quite difficult at times. It really is a learning process.
@Daisy is that TI’s inmate number at the bottom of the address?
We need a new section called “News Only Those in Atlanta May Know or Care About.” That is where I’m filing this one.
Hey all!
I know I am married to a sexy man, b ut that Mr. Evans sure is fine. I rebuke satan. Get behind me.
hECK YEAH HE SLAP THE CRAP OUT HIM STREETS DNT LIE BUT ATLEAST IT WAS FROM SOMEONE HE KNOS….
@Atty you can still look although married.
@Krysi I sent you another email with only the number but shoot here it is 59458019..lol
I use to listen on wendy on line but cant anymore- what station can i catch her show on.. and also charlemaineekdkekie
@ Sandra, brevity is key. I am reading these post on my blackberry. This post was way too long. We slaves are on the plantation and Masta don’t like us slaves taking time from the field to read long azz post.
LOL! at attorneyMom…..Damn
I havent listen to charlmagnye show, but thats good he has his own show now! I was mad that they took miss jones off, say what you will about her but she is just a generic wendy williams minus the plastic surgery…
her show comes on fox july 13th the same week as her b-day july 18th and mines too!!!!
@attny
you can look as long as you dont touch!!! lol!
Bid Boi in morning is wack i never listen to him… the tom jones and steve harvey is a lil to catered to 45+ people so charlemane it is but he’s cool
anyway…new post? the heated convo about tiny and toya is over too?
OFF TOPIC CALLING ALL B STANS – I LOVE her new single Ego esp. the remix with my boy Kanye (we all know how big is ego is) So see as I have said before when being called a hater I am NOT I give her props when she does something I like. The video could be better but I am feeling the song!
krysi & daisy….are ya’ll going to write t.i.?
I am looking. I am looking. Damn, that negro is fine. Wait until get home today. My husband is in trouble. Sandra, you don’t know what you are missing. God-made (bleep) are the best. Leave the toyz alone. LOL
@Daisy
thats a good song but dang i wish she made a better video…i sing it to my BF all the time lol
Did I say Mr. Evans is fine?? Sandra, please put up another post so I can stop looking at Mr. Evans.
lol @ attorneymom – don’t hurt your hubby!
Somebody give Attymom a fan so she can cool off..lol
@Kat Maybe if I have time if not no big deal life goes on.
@Sponge yeah the video could have been better but now that I think about it she doesn’t have that many nice videos to me anyway so I dont expect much from in that arena. I do like the coat she has on in the video.
krysi & daisy….are ya’ll going to write t.i.?
—————————————————
shyt if I remember….?? LOL! I don’t even write my own brother…..but maybe I can start doing so by thinking about TI in the clink, and hit em both up.
lmao@ daisy
I see you put up your disclaimer!! The B-Stans are notorious for CAPNLOCKIN on that azz!!! lol!!!
@Daisy..this album her videos been blah, but she swear she hurting em… BDAY vids were good…
what is NOT up on SR today … I didn’t even read the Greg Skreet diaries up top …
handle your personal business Sandra …
@Sponge I disagree none of her videos have been that fab IMO. I thought Get me bodied could have been a much better dance video. DC had some bootleg videos as well back in the day but I LOVED their music!
Damn Sandra, you must be some kind of superstar in Atlanta. I feel honored and priviledged to have you as a friend. I can call you a friend right? Greg Street did and you ripped him a new one…..two days in a row.
Now that you are all up in the spotlight can you get the blog back to poppin?
Why do I hear Adina Howard’s “MY UP AND DOWN” in my head. Mr. Attorneymom is in trouble. LOL.
Sidebar: I am going to the ladies room to spash some cold water on my face. LOL
Can some give me the cliff notes on this post?? I can’t scroll back up because I can’t stop looking at Mr. Evans.
Now that I have been cursed with this whole unimportant story I must say it sounds like Greg Street was only a little wrong. Alex screwed up royally by not allowing Clay into the party and it sounds like Clay gave him a public verbal smack down. I know you want Greg Street to be the bad guy in this, but it’s Alex who fell down on the job. How you gonna try to exclude T.I.’s road manager from a T.I. party? And why Clay gonna try to claim Alex is his friend when he had to damn near beat his azz to get into the party?
I meant someone, sorry.
@ Bird, thanks for the analysis.
The best part of this foolishness are the pics of Clay!
lol @ krysi! “I don’t even write my own brother…..but maybe I can start doing so by thinking about TI in the clink, and hit em both up.”
@Kat my sister stay writing her baby daddy who is doing a 5-7 yr bid. Bless her heart.
LMAO at Bird” # 46 comment !!! so true so true…
@ attorneymom- he issss a fine piece of chocolate…
interesting but who seen kanye new video rihanna look good as hell in it
Did you hear the latest RiRi and Kanye have been secret friends with benefits for a minute? I don’t know why but I believe that story.
Also, yes Clay looks fine. I’m a Claymate…lol (that’s a fan)
Oh and Sandra PLEASE put up the Spectacular from Pretty Ricky video. I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard this year. OMG Funnny!
who names them selves Spectacular? he been gay too me they all are
and dang is rihanna doing all of rocafella? i would hope kayne like a girl with a lil meat on her bones, im sure amber puts it down more than ri ri….
shauny thats the gayest video i seen in my life def how you doin
sponge unfortunately his mother named him that not him (I have a teenage girl). I couldn’t believe it when she said that was his gov name.
@east- it’s gay but hilarious. Then somebody remixed it to Move Your Body Like A Snake….ROTF laughing. It was perfect. I was like all the guys though. I couldn’t make through a minute of the video. Even my daughter was like OMG, I don’t believe it…lol
@Shauny as always I dont believe that rumor about Kanye and Rihanna. They have her linked with so many men its not even funny.
@East I saw the video she looks FAB as always
Oh hell to the naw Spectacular ain’t that boys name. I don’t know what’s more outrageous, the name or that tangy azz video. I know what’s worst of all though. This negro is threatening to release more videos for the ladies. He is under the misguided impression that only men dissed the video. He thinks the ladies like that gay foolishness.
ROTFLMO! stop the press . that’s his real name woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow…………………….. I thought I heard it all, alize,desani, beyonce,….but spectacular? was it really ms?
so 5th grade. is he sure they know each other? surely alex had to have known he’s a key person to T.I. like most have said already, FOOLISHNESS.
nobody knows nobody when it comes too money in the music industries babes that y he got slip slap, hes a very greedy man
Aw hell NAW……!!!!! How could this happen??? We were so close!!!….
*crying out*
DAMN, DaMn, dA-Ham-AMMn!! *wiping tears*
IhatetheLakers.com is currently underconstruction for those of you who are as SALTY as I am! WHY DA HELL KOBE ALWAYS GOTTA plaY IN Da ChampiONShip GAME HUH???!!!
Word is, Greg Street must serve a one week suspension before returning to the air on V-103. I guess CBS really does feel some kind of way about its on-air staff going after their accounts. Especially now that they’re hurting for revenue.
I heard Greg on the radio yesterday evening at his FREE class of 09 concert.
