PERFORMING ARTISTS: DON'T PAY TO PERFORM

By -
Image result for concert promoter scam

The nightclub isn't packed. The promoter isn't sure if the artist he's bringing will pack it. He also doesn't have the rest of the money he promised the artists who will be performing, because the ticket sales are low. A quick fix is to call you up and tell you that you will be on stage performing with Lil Wayne, Fetty Wap or some other major artist. He gasses you up, telling you that you will have a packed house and "some people from Wayne's camp are gonna be in the audience. This is your chance to be discovered." Now that he has your attention, and you know this is what you've been wanting all your life, you bring him the "performance fee" and you're ready to be a part of the show.
You beg at least 200 of your friends to show up and support you, but only 3 show. Your mother, Grandmother and stepdad. You've shelled out $300 to be on stage with Lil Wayne. This is your chance and your family is there to witness it all. At 7pm, you're on stage and you turn it out. You gave the people your $300 worth. LOL. You stand at the sideline hoping Lil Wayne and his people saw the show, 'cuz you KILLED it! They didn't. They weren't there. Lil Wayne's flight doesn't land until 10pm and he doesn't even go on until 1:00am. By the time Lil Wayne gets on the stage you PAID to perform on, the people forgot all about you. What separates you from Lil Wayne? The local promoter appreciates and respects Lil Wayne's talent enough to PAY HIM and PROMOTE THE SHOW. What separates you from Lil Wayne? The promoter had to pay Lil Wayne's MANAGER the money. Even if you HAD manager, your manager played you by allowing you to pay $300 to perform. What ELSE separates you from Lil Wayne? He wasn't asked to sell at least 20 tickets to get on stage.
In 2017 and beyond, NO ARTIST from New England will EVER pay to perform on ANY stage. But ALL promoters WILL pay artists for their hard work. We will keep you informed and we will work closely with artists and creative people to ensure they are compensated for their great work. If you're an artist or creative who does not yet have your company incorporated and established online, we can help. If you wish to work with any of the artists or creatives we are linked with, please email: Amir@BlackBerryRadio.com or call weekdays 8:30am - 8:30pm at 617-297-SPICE.

FOX NEWS HOST REFUSES TO BOARD PLANE WITH BLACK FEMALE PILOT

By Anonymous -
conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter has lost her mind! She refused to stay on board a Miami to New York flight after learning the pilot was a Black woman. According to witnesses, Coulter was concerned the experienced, decorated pilot may have gained her position as a result of affirmative action and wasn’t fully qualified to fly. The incident began when Coulter boarded the American Airlines flight and took up her first class seat. After a trip to the bathroom, she noticed the pilot was a black woman and became immediately distraught. According to passengers, at that point Coulter stood at the front of the cabin and began screaming her concerns to the entire flight as they finished boarding. “Aw come on people, a black woman flying a plane? You know she got that job through affirmative action. Am I the only one worried about this? I mean hello? Our lives are at stake here…” The confused passengers weren’t sure what to make of Coulter’s outburst, and rema

After pouring thousands of dollars into her decrepit house, Tocco Collins made the heartbreaking discovery that she had been seriously scammed. The mother of 12 had waited patiently for her landlords to deliver on their promises to fix the house’s holes, broken windows and burned out light box, CBS Atlanta reports. But after seven months, Collins learned that the phonies she had been paying $600 a month in rent didn’t own the home and had also skipped town. The actual owner had no idea her home was being rented out. “Step by step, I’m trying to make some effort,” Collins told the news outlet. “Right now I’m lost.” The Atlanta mother and her children are now homeless. They’re also at risk of getting broken up by child services, a devastating fate that do-gooders are trying to prevent. Members of Occupy Atlanta are raising money for the family to buy a new home, and volunteers said they would help renovate the new residence after it’s secured. Getting duped by a

Larry Smith, producer of some of the most cherished hip-hop records of the Eighties, including Run-D.M.C. 's first two albums, died Thursday at the age of 63. Radio host Combat Jack broke the news on Twitter , writing: "Just spoke to his family. RIP Larry Smith, the original King of Beats who passed away last night." A Queens native, Smith began his career as a session musician and quickly struck up a partnership with Kurtis Blow after playing bass on "Christmas Rappin'."  Smith would continue to play on a number of Blow's tracks, co-writing a few as well, including the MC's breakthrough record, "The Breaks,"  which became the first rap record to be certified gold. Smith then began working with Blow's manager at the time, Russell Simmons. The two co-produced a handful of tracks for Jimmy Spicer – including the oft-sampled "Money (Dollar Bill Y'All)"  – before helping make hip-hop history with Run-D.M.C.'s
