原來唐妮原本並未打算離開 LaFace/Arista
是經紀人從中搞鬼，讓她跟唱片公司的想法出現意見不合
後來又進一步的說服 Toni 離開 Arista 與 Blackground 簽約
希望唐妮可以勝訴，順利找到新東家!!
Braxton Released By Blackground, Sues Ex-Manager
January 12, 2007, 9:30 PM ET
Gail Mitchell, L.A.
Toni Braxton is being released from Blackground/Universal Motown, Billboard.
com has learned. The Grammy Award-winning R&B singer logged the majority of
her hits during her tenure with LaFace/Arista before joining Blackground.
Her sole release with that label, 2005's "Libra," has shifted 431,000 units,
according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Braxton remains the resident headliner at the Flamingo hotel in Las Vegas, a
gig she began last August.
In addition, the artist is suing her former personal manager, claiming she
owes him $10 million for convincing her to leave Arista and join Blackground,
according to the Associated Press.
The suit says Braxton hired Barry Hankerson as her manager in late 1997; a
year later, she negotiated a five-album deal with Arista that netted her more
than $20 million in advances.
However, the relationship soured in 2002, when Hankerson began fabricating
creative disputes with the label, according to the suit. By 2003, Braxton
says she was convinced to leave Arista and sign with Blackground. When that
arrangement proved unstable, Braxton claims she tried to fire Hankerson as
her manager but that he promptly turned against her.

Barry Hankerson和他兒子Jomo Henkerson在業界也有一段時間了
(Barry http://0rz.tw/0d2lo )
(Jomo http://0rz.tw/af2m9 )
Barry Hankerson最成功的是
幫R. Kelly搞了四張R&B經典專輯
分別是第一張Born into the '90
第二張超級專輯是本人心中史上10大專輯之一的12 Play
第三張專輯R. Kelly
以及第四張雙CD專輯R.
當然在很多Blackground出品的專輯
如Ginuwine, Aaliyah, Timbaland
也能見到專輯的Excutive Producer印著Barry Hankerson或Jomo Hankerson
Toni2005年專輯Libra賣得超差的
其中因素鐵定很多
但人的因素應該是最大部分
我相信是成了Toni經紀人的Barry對於市場和專輯內容之間的間隙所導致
這是許多藝人與其經紀人常出現的問題
而這問題常出現的狀態是
被冷凍 + 不給宣傳
Toni和Barry到底真正出了什麼問題
隔海的我們不得而知
誰負了誰
而誰又真正站得住腳呢
告來告去又噴噴口水
我想這沒個準的猜謎會成為一則下午茶的小八卦吧
