Lawsuit: Brandy Compares Recording Contract to Slavery, Label Fires Back, ‘You Have Not Dropped a Hit Song In a Decade’

Brandy’s record label, Chameloen Entertainment, dished an epic clapback in response to her lawsuit which compared her contract to slavery.


The label faulted the singer’s choice of words in the midst of the racial tension currently tearing the United States apart and noted that she had no grounds for suing since she has not dropped a hit in the last decade.

The R&B singer filed a lawsuit earlier seeking to break away from the ‘shackles’ of the contract she signed in 2011, saying it jeopardized her career when it tried to prevent her from recording and releasing new music among other things and is requesting thousands of dollars the label owes her for pay or play fees.

The ‘Aphrodisiac’ singer claims that the record label tried to pressure her into giving up her non-recording avenues of income including concerts and Broadway shows. This is according to documents obtained by TMZ.


A rep for Chameleon Entertainment CEO, Breyon Prescott, however stated that Brandy and her lawyer reviewed the contract before signing, hence, her lawsuit comes as a shock. He noted that the allegation was a desperate ploy at publicity instead of the singer facing the harsh reality that her best days are over. The rep also noted that Chameleon took a risk “signing an artist that hasn’t had a chart single success since the early 2000’s.”

Brandy’s lawsuit is very similar to Kesha’s who also referred to her contract with Sony as slavery. In fact, her lawyer is of this opinion stating that, “Brandy Norwood’s story is ‘Kesha Redux, but without the sex.”

Recall that Brandy is one of the celebrities who has shown enormous support for the embattled ‘die young’ singer in her ongoing legal battles.


This is the second lawsuit Brandy has filed. She filed a similar lawsuit in L.A. back in March. The latest lawsuit was filed in NYC.

Slavery: See How White Slave Traders Dehumanised Naked Black Slave Women

Image
Sexual assault of black female folks was paramount during the slave trade era as perpetrated by white people who degraded their Africans to assets rather than human beings.  Sexual assaults of female black slaves by white male plantation owners, their sons, brothers and other male acquaintances were heartlessly perpetrated unhindered in the 15th and 19th centuries before its abolition. Black women were technically degraded to objects for hard work and pleasure with no real value attached to their feelings. History recorded that black women were raped and dehumanized without fear of punishment. The reasons of their white owners couldn't be justified as they smelt of share hatred and xenophobia for their skin colour. Black men were also sexually abused by slaveholders, and sometimes, their wives were not spared from the ill-treatment as they worked tirelessly on farmlands with stipends that amounted to virtually nothing. The slave trade refers to the transatlantic tradi
