Johnny Gill Being Sued By Record Label Owner Over Twitter Comments

 

Johnny Gill is back in the news.  But not for his new album.  Find out why the owner of his record producer is suing him inside...

 

Singer Johnny Gill is being sued by his P.O.ed record label owner who says he has been talking trash about her on Twitter.

Ira Dewitt, CEO of Notifi Music Group (Johnny Gill and Ginuwine's record label), who's also the wife of St. Louis Cardinals owner Bill DeWitt, says that Johnny accused her of leaking one of his records and called her "f**king nuts."

The drama originated between Ira and Johnny when a "demo" record called "Might Cry" featuring a duet with Johnny and Q Parker of 112 (produced by Tank) leaked.  A source close to the situation said Ira purchased rights to the song from Tank a long time ago.

In response to the Twitter comments, Ira filed a lawsuit on Thursday with the L.A. County Superior Court claiming that Johnny's statements about her being "deranged" and "f**kng nuts" are going to defame her and hurt her business. She is suing for unspecified damages and to stop Johnny from making comments about her on Twitter.

Outside of his comments previously made on his Twitter account, Johnny has not responded to the lawsuit.

But he has said (@realjohnnygill),

"I hear you bro, this is how I feed my family and when some puts out unfinished product that don't represent who I am and my brand it effects how I feed my family as a man you don't mess with how o feed my family feel me?"

And as far as the coincidence being a leak, he directed a comment at Ira saying,

"I've been in this game 30years it's not a coincident trust me bro, a bully will pick on you until you fight back..."

If you want to hear what the fuss is about, listen to the track below. But be aware that Johnny says his vocals are unfinished:

 

 

Here we go....

What it sounds like to me is

What it sounds like to me is Johnny maybw didn't approve being on this song with another male artist once he heard that Q sounds as good if not better than him. Or maybe he has some kind of dislike for Tank. Now he's probably taking his frustration out on that woman who owns the label. This is all me just speculating. I'm just saying sounds like its more to the story Johnny is not coming clean on.......

Latino racism towards black

Latino racism towards black people 101 Most latinos ie Puerto ricans,DOMINICANS do NOT consider themselves black people. They consider latino a separate/SUPERIOR race from black people. They live on a small island an create their own rules. Being called black is an INSULT. Latinos that look like JLO consider themselves WHITE people. It' s not until they come to the US and realize that white Americans do NOT except them... then they go running to the black com. Why do our US tax dollars go to puerto rico...which blatantly discriminates towards black ppl. Lala Vasquez, zoe & many other latinos only call themselves black when it's time to USE/PROFIT from black ppl. They say their dark skin is due to being mixed with INDIAN. STOP THE BLATANT THEFT OF BLACK CULTURE! REGGAE+3 LETTERS DOES NOT= new music genre REGGAE +TON= Latinos blatantly STEALING , doing a poor imitation of black reggae artists. Reggae was created by black people in Jamaica!NEVER FORGET! Turn OFF BET!106PARK needs a black female host ASAP! !!!!!!!!!
Send latinas back to their RACIST latin networks!Boycott!'s picture

WTF is wrong with Johnny

WTF is wrong with Johnny Gill??????? There ain't nothing unfinished about his voice on that song. I think he and Q Parker sound amazing together!!! He must not know what a hit song sounds like cuz if he did he would be thanking his record company for doing him a favor. He should be thanking Tank too for not keeping that hot song for his own album.

What is taking blk ppl so

What is taking blk ppl so long to CRUCIFY Chris Brown for calling black ppl apes...with the same relentless hate that you would give rihanna, A keys for doing the same? Not motivated?....want to let it slide? You only enjoy tearing down blk females? This is why it is open season on blk women. You enable evil black males to publicly disrespect you. AN attack on dark females is an attack on ALL black women! Stop letting evil black rappers/singers act like modern day slave masters putting you against each other like field vs house negroes. BOYCOTT CB FOR LIFE!!! The black community did nothing when Chris Brown made insulting jokes about dark skin people on twitter which is viewed by the world. So...... CB took it to another level by calling a couple of dark skin artists APES on twitter. This is the typical scenario of what keeps the black community down. The black community does not put black males in check . If CB was bashed when he had made the dark skin jokes on twitter, he would have never taken the step to attack dark skin people again. DO NOT BUY THE MUSIC OF RAPPERS/SINGERS THAT DO NOT SUPPORT YOU. USE THE MONEY TO BUY THE MUSIC OF BLACK FEMALE ARTISTS LIKE ALICIA KEYS, MARSHA AMBROSIUS, JAZMINE SULLIVAN, LEDESI, ESPERANZA SPALDING ETC.. The people that control the media do not want black women seen on TV in a positive light, and the black male rappers/singers are a part of this plot. This is why you hardly ever see black women looking classy in videos in 2011.. when that used to be normal back in the 80's. There is video footage of rappers/singers including CB, Fabolous, Trey S. saying that they have COMPLETE CONTROL over which women are picked to be in the videos and how they are presented. So they choose NOT to use black women, and on the rare occasion they use a TOKEN black female.... they make sure that she is on the sideline looking trashy and have the white,latina,brazilian females playing the LEADING LADY looking classy. All latinas, brazilians do NOT consider themselves black regardless of their ancestry. It's not for diversity not for diversity because... why don't they include latino,white, brazilian MEN??? BOYCOTT ALL PEPSI PRODUCTS LIKE AQUAFINA, MOUNTAIN DEW ETC. FOR THE RACIST SUPERBOWL PEPSI MAX COMMERCIAL. Look how they portrayed the dark black female as angry, jealous at a time you hardly see dark females in commercials. THINK. Lauryn Hill just started doing some promo shows and blogs are already portraying her in a negative light. Why don't they report how she thanked her fans, great performances etc. They don't want dark, natural conscious female artists to win. If you think she acts crazy... then why do you support Kanye West, 50, lil wayne, etc when they act crazy? CB was on twitter making jokes about dark skin ppl and dark skin girls. were saying he was only kidding. BE HONEST... if Rihanna or any light skin FEMALE artist made jokes on twitter about dark skin ppl for the world to see you would have bashed her for life. This is why black women do not get any respect from media,rappers etc. You NEVER hold black men accountable for anything. BOYCOTT CB, SLIM THUG,OCHO CINCO, FABOLOUS FOR LIFE. Look how black ppl are telling blk girls to forgive CB....CONDITIONING them to be future domestic violence victims. Do you think J LO, Paris Hilton, KIM KARDASHIAN PARENTS prepared them to accept/forgive abuse? CB is rich. Why don't you teach these blk girls to get their money/education and to NOT have premarital sex which can lead to pregnancy, hiv, AIDS etc. The media,rappers will continue to bash black women as long as you allow it. BOYCOTT EVERYTHING, USE YOUR MONEY TO SUPPORT BLACK FEMALE ARTISTS, BLACK FEMALE BIZ, ETC. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BLACK MALE RAPPERS/SINGERS GAVE AWAY BLACK MUSIC CULTURE ON A SILVER PLATTER. THEY DESTROYED ONE OF THE VISIBLE FORMS OF MEDIA THAT BLACK PPL HAD ...MUSIC. In the 90's, 80's black ppl/WOMEN played a major role in music entertainment...videos setting trends etc. In the 90's we had a several black female groups like en vogue, tlc, brownstone, escape,swv,jade. ...as well as black female singers,rappers, reggae artists. Black people could have dominated the music scene had we remained united. No one could have complained that blk male rappers/singers only have black women looking classy in videos. All other races/ethnicities do the same thing. Look at other networks.. white, indian,korean, latin men use the same women in their race for their videos,movies etc. Once THEY realized that selfish black rappers/singers were willing to destroy black women....the MEDIA ran with it. Do you realize the days of black female artists/groups are practically gone FOREVER. No, it's not due to internet downloading. The face of black male rappers/singers have remained the same. They made sure NOT to include any other men. BOYCOTT THEM ALL. EITHER THEY RESTORE BLACK MUSIC CULTURE WITH BLACK WOMEN ...OR DESTROY IT ALL. TELL THEM TO REMOVE THEIR BLACK FACES AND REPLACE IT WITH WHITE, LATIN, INDIAN MEN!!!!!! I don't care what race of women blk men date or marry. The issue is the EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES that they took away from blk women. The black music culture that was built on the blood, sweat,and tears of blk ppl should not used by blk male artists to make money for themselves and invite OTHER WOMEN to PROFIT. reply BOYCOTT THEM ALL!! Look at all the ppl that are getting mad because I am trying to get black females to open their eyes. You have to remember that every race, cnn fox news ,KKK,ETC comes to blk blogs to stalk blk ppl and get info. DO NOT FALL FOR THE TOKEN DARK/BLK FEMALE ANYMORE! Puffy/Diddy started the latina trend when he started dating J LO IN THE LATE 90'S. Don't believe me....I challenge you to go back and find a latina playing the LEADING LADY in any video B4 diddy put J LO in his Been around the world video around 1997. I tried to get black women to protest back then because I new that other black male artists would start ding the same. Do you realize that if black women had given J LO a fraction of the HATE that you give Rihanna, nicki,and other blk female artists you could have STOPPED the latina, brazilian trend. Again..all latinas/brazilians do NOT consider themselves black regardless of their DNA. I am soooo angry at all the blk women who grew up in the 90's,80's and allowed this to happen! You know darn well that you did not grow up seeing OTHER women in almost every hip hop RandB video. They are attacking the new generation. You have young black girls who have hardly seen any black females looking positive in these videos for their ENTIRE life. They want to keep black women down. That's why every other day their is some random post about how insecure blk women are. It's 2011 and black women you have LOST a lot. Black women had more positive images in the media in the 90's,80's. It's only going to get worse until you BOYCOTT EVERYTHING! Go natural, make your own clothes if you have to. Stop giving the world your money. SUPPORT BLK WOMEN INSTEAD. Diddy's conscious must have bothered him. Yes, dirty money are black .. but look at the LEADING LADY in the videos. They will use a TOKEN black female to keep you quiet. Don't fall for it. IF CB tries to have blk girls in his videos now because his team stays on these posts.... still BOYCOTT HIM, it's too late. LET me see them use black females for the next 10 YEARS LIKE THEY HAVE USED NON BLK WOMEN FOR THE LAST 10. Things should have remained the way they were in the 90's. BOYCOTT 106 and park on BET!!!There should not be any black girls sitting in the audience laughing when BET DOES NOT WANT A BLACK FEMALE TO HOST THE NUMBER 1 SHOW ON A BLACK NETWORK. Rosci said that she is NOT black. BOYCOTT Check your local latin,indian, korean networks. They do NOT EMPLOY BLACK WOMEN. BOYCOTT!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Send latinas back to their RACIST latin networks!Boycott 's picture

Black ppl don't need to be

Black ppl don't need to be told what to like and what not to like. That's stupid. And if its about employment opportunities, they could always go get an education, become a doctor, teacher, etc. There are many opportunities in America. Would you had rather black people stayed in Africa and never came to America. Shut yo ungrateful ass up. Encourage you're black peers to school and stay off the streets and out of the clubs, if you really want to help them in the way of employment opportunities. smdh.

FYI, you sound super racist.

FYI, you sound super racist. Give it up. Chris was calling a spade a spade, he was making an observation. Those guys did look like apes. You need to open your eyes. Black women wish they were lighter and had long silky hair. They know it's prettier, more marketable, easier to manage, etc. Everyone knows that. The answer is to boycott denial!!!!! Notice how black people have to say black is beautiful, while the other races you're jealous of don't have to say that about their race because it goes without saying? Black people need to boycott being insecure and thinking someone owes them something just because they're black. That's racist! Amazing how black people think they are owed something just because they're black. If a black person prefers a lighter person, who business is that? Let people live their lives, let them want what they want in life. How are you going to get mad at what a person wants? That is black for you. I don't understand that. Don't you think it's pathetic for black women to go around mad/boycotting because they're not desired? You don't get mad at people for not wanting you. You respect their preference. Black women are not happy with themselves, they know they can't hold a torch to the lightskin pretty hair beauty. Every black women wants to look like Halle Berry and every man wants to date someone who looks like her. Those are the facts. But black women don't like hearing those facts. You wear white to weddings and black to funerals. Black people don't like those facts either. Lets look at the beauties/successes/famous faces in the industry: Beyonce, Halle Berry, Sade, Lisa Raye, Stacey Dash, Janet Jackson, Keri Hilson, Eva Pigford, Alicia Keys, Cassie, Zoe Saldana, Taraji Henson, Paula Patton, Evelyn from BBWs, Kim Kardashian, Lauren London, Hoopz, Dorothy Dandridge, Jada Pinket, Mariah Carey, Kimora lee Simmons and her daughters, Angela and Venessa Simmons, Tyra Banks, Lisa Bonet, Raven Samone, Nicki Minaj, What do they all have in common? They're tan or lighter, and most of them are still gorgeous without makeup. How stupid is it to pretend like you don't what the dealio is. Boycott denial!!!!!!!!!!!!! Latin,indian, and korean women are beautiful, so why wouldn't their networks employ them? Why wouldn't black networks employ them? When you say black women, do mean mixed black women? Would it shut you up if the industry employed more light skin/mixed black women? Or are you wanting to see more dark skinned black women? More Fantasia, Lauryn Hill, Precious, Serena and Venus Williams looking black women? Meeka and Jen from BBws looking black women? Yeah right. No thanks. Don't you see where this headed? It's not about color or culture. Why don't you say what's really on your mind. You'd still be mad if only pretty black women were getting all the work.

Johnny can get sued he said

Johnny can get sued he said he wasn't a real label. So he didn't believe that was a lie and he didn't bother to check what really happened with the song. In the law it's called "reckless disregard for the truth"

I read the comments the lady

I read the comments the lady Ira is referring to and I heard the song johnny gill is beefing about. When I googled her to see who she was it says she's the CEO of johnny's record company not a music producer. The version i heard was called Might Cry and it was johnny with q parker from the group 112. I first heard it on youtube but when my homegirl went back to listen it said johnny gill had the song removed. Here's another link i found to the song .... http://www64.zippyshare.com/v/45325395/file.html

This will get dismissed in

This will get dismissed in court for the simple fact that SHE has to prove that he didn't really believe what he was saying as in he knowingly told a lie. It's very difficult to win defamation suits because the 1st amendment allows you to have and speak on your opinion. In order to win a libel/defamation suit you have to prove that the person knowingly spread false information. This is going nowhere. But what I find more hilarious is that many of you are saying how wrong Johnny was for "going in" on this woman who he believed leaked his song and many of you "go in" on celebrities EVERYDAY and you've never even met them? If you think he's wrong for going off on twitter then it's time to turn the mirror around and look at yourself as well. Just sayin'...

I think Twitter should be

I think Twitter should be admissible. It is a sounding board and if someone has the nerve to say something about someone they should take responsibility for it. Celebrities need to learn, just use it for positive self promotion and let you're team run it like Jay Z an Beyonce. You won't find them in a Twitter beef like Sole, Jennifer Hudson, the list goes on and on.

Before Twitter, I never

Before Twitter, I never understood why celebrities needed a publicist to basically say EVERYTHING for them...I see now that some of them just suffer from one or more of the following: don't have a filter, can't speak a coherent sentence, show how ignorant they are when it comes to current events and history, or allow it to show when people get under their skin. I'm not saying that they should just let any and everything go without comment, but some of them just don't know how to respond. He could have just as easily said that he was unhappy with the leak (provided that SHE actually leaked it) instead of going off like that and making HIMSELF looking "f*cking nuts"....
