(((Jerry Heller))) favored Eazy-E financially, giving him control over Ruthless Records, while underpaying the other members of N.W.A., eventually causing the group's breakup.
(((Lyor Cohen))) had leadership roles at Def Jam, (LL Cool J, Jay-Z, DMX, Kanye West) Island Def Jam, Warner Music Group, (Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Wiz Khalifa, Roddy Ricch) and his own venture, 300 Entertainment. (Young Thug, Fetty Wap) He financially raped rappers with heavy recoupable expenses, which are upfront costs paid by a publisher, distributor, or label that must be fully paid back from a creator's future earnings or royalties before they receives any profit. Cohen sold stakes in Def Jam and 300 Entertainment, benefiting top execs and parent companies more than the artists behind the music.
Mariah Carey - Mariah Carey was 18 when she met the head of Sony Music, 39-year-old Tommy Mottola. (converted to Judaism) When they got married in 1993, Tommy had the household on lockdown, with security cameras in every room and armed guards everywhere. He would control what she wore, who she worked with and how her music sounded. ''From the moment Tommy signed me, he tried to wash the urban off of me.'' They straightened her hair and put her in conservative outfits. He would tell her: "You're nothing without me. You'll never work in this town again." The breaking point came when Tommy allegedly held a butter knife to her face in front of dinner guests because she wanted to leave. Even after they divorced in 1998, she was still signed to Sony.
George Michael - When George Michael released Listen Without Prejudice Volume 1, he refused to do videos or interviews. George claimed that Sony deliberately tanked his album, so in 1992, he sued them for 'professional slavery'. In the end, the judge ruled against George, so, he refused to record for Sony ever again, destroying his own career.
Kelly Clarkson - Kelly Clarkson was the first American Idol winner; her album, Breakaway sold 12 million copies. For her third album, My December, she wanted to write her own music, but the head of Sony BMG, (((Clive Davis))) offered Kelly $10M to remove five songs from the album and replace them with ones chosen by him. When she said no, he allegedly told her that she was a shitty songwriter who should be grateful for the gifts he bestowed upon her and that she should just shut up and sing. Sony ended up sabotaged her album by limiting promotion, and leaking stories to the press to make her out to be difficult to work with. Some say Clive Davis treated Whitney Houston the same way.
Kesha - In 2014, Kesha signed a lawsuit to try and get out of her contract with (((Dr. Luke's))) label, Kemosabe Records, (owned by Sony Music) accusing him of drugging her, assaulting her, and emotionally abusing her, saying things like: "You're not that pretty. You're not that talented. You're just lucky to have me." Sony refused to let her go on the grounds that she was part of a contract with Dr. Luke, even though this was under Sony.
Sex Crimes
Elvis - Elvis famously went out with 14-year-old Priscilla Beaulieu, who he later married. Contrary to popular belief, this was as controversial as it would be today. Charles Manson mentioned being asked to participate in threesomes with both Presley and Jane Fonda.
Jerry Lee Lewis - In 1957, a 22-year-old Jerry Lee Lewis married 13-year-old, Myra Brown, his first cousin once removed, which was illegal, not because of her age, but because he was already married at the time.
Chris Denning - The Bay City Rollers were at one point taken to BBC Radio 1 DJ, Chris Denning, and told that if they wanted him to play their song, one or more from the band would have to sleep with him. Denning: ''I would say my key age of attraction is about 15 or 16, actually.'' ''I am a 14-year-old boy in a 68, 950-year-old horrible body.'' Denning was also credited for helping launch Gary Glitter's (Paul Francis Gadd) career, who was sentenced to 16 years in prison for child SA. Chris Denning later served time not only in Britain, but in the Czech Republic and Slovakia for producing CP.
Jonathan King - Jonathan King produced the Bay City Rollars' single, and went on to do work for the BBC. He had repeated charges being brought against him, starting in 1959 for sharing CP, but he faced no time, until 1985 when he served 18 months in jail. Not long after in 1988, he received a 3-year sentence for CP. In 1996, he was arrested and charged for publishing indecent articles, receiving only a 10-week sentence. The following year, he was arrested in Prague on 10 charges of sex with a minor, when he was working with CP kingpin, Warwick Spinks.
Tam Paton - The Bay City Rollers' manager, Tam Paton, was jailed for three years in 1982 for the SA of 10 teenage boys. He also held Ch*ld s*x parties at a house called Little Kelliston, attended by Jimmy Savile and other famous people.
Danish Singer, Gert Magnus: ''Many people from show business attended these parties from the famous to the behind the scenes, and they were there, according to him, primarily to have sex with children. In March 1975, Tam Payton had bought a house called Little Kelliston just outside Edinburgh, where Gert and other would-be pop stars spent time. It was fast becoming notorious for its music industry parties:
''There was always parties, lots of young boys, lots of producers and celebrities... going to the room and coming out and you know... big party.''
[So, some of these famous people would disappear with the young boys into rooms?]
''Yeah.''
[And having sex?]
[Did you not think this is a bit horrible?]
''Of course. But I was so young. You know, I think oh, that's normal in this business here. That's the music business. Yeah.''
Jimmy Savile and the BBC pedo-ring
John Phillips - In 2009, actress Mackenzie Phillips revealed that she endured a decade-long incestuous, abusive sexual relationship with her late father, musician John Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas, which began with a rape when she was a teenager.
Rick James - In 1991, Rick James and his girlfriend, Tanya Hijazi, abducted 24-year-old Frances Alley, torturing her, burning her with a crack pipe and using her as a sex slave over for six days; in 92, they did the exact same thing to music executive, Mary Sauger.
Cher - Anthony Keidis to Flair Magazine: ''My father asked her to be my babysitter, one night. She went in the bathroom to change. I was already a little curious, so I asked her if I was able to stay and watch her. Then, we went in my room and we had sex. I was 13.''
Anthony Keidis - In his 2004 autobiography Scar Tissue, Anthony Kiedis, the lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers admitted to having a sexual relationship with a 14 year old girl: ''Once I got into the shower, she went into an impeccable ren-dition of Marilyn singing "Happy Birthday" to JFK. I got out of that shower ready to go. She immediately threw off her clothes and we made love on the floor. ...I found out more about her, including the fact that she went to Catholic school. (She would be the inspiration for a later song, "Catholic School Girls Rule.") ...she came up to me and said, "I have something to tell you. My father's the chief of police and the entire state of Louisiana is looking for me because I've gone miss-ing. Oh, and besides that, I'm only fourteen." ...So we had sex one more time...''
2Pac - Tupac Shakur was an effeminate dancer who turned gangsta because he played Bishop in Juice, 1992. In 1995, he was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison for rape, which he only served 9 months for. He had hooked up with a woman named Ayanna Jackson, before letting his homies run a train on her, which she did not consent to.
