MEDIATAKEOUT HAS BEEN DUPED!!!!
By L.T Dinwiddie
Mediatakeout.com just posted a potentially damaging allegation regarding two major Pop Artists, R.Kelly, and Usher. In their lead story they’re claiming that the two legendary acts have stolen the song “Same Girl” that allegedly belongs to an Atlanta R&B quartet collectively known as—Nephu. But after making a few phone calls to some industry insiders I’ve found out that’s not necessarily accurate.
My very reliable source who I just got off the phone with, and who also works very closely with the foursome, explained to me that Nephu, in fact, didn’t write the song "Same Girl", they just recorded it.
Apparently they were signed to Capitol Records and were preparing to release their version of this song. However, they fell out with their record label. And since none of the members wrote the song, the recording company retained it and everybody went their own separate ways.
Though Nephu is currently considering a few offers from other labels, my source wanted to make clear that they didn’t write, nor do they own any parts to the song. The group just feels slighted because they put so much work into recording it and were anticipating a nationwide release.
While I can understand their anger, that’s why it’s called the music business. It’s still a business and if Usher and R.Kelly can sell it, then the song writer, and the record label is going to keep it moving. And also think about this, if they actually wrote the song and owned the publishing - wouldnt it make sense to file a lawsuit rather then file a story with the mega-gossip site? And I mean that in the best way Fred
I love mediatakeout.com like a son of a bitch, but I couldn’t let them try and throw Usher and Chester under the bus like that. They do that enough on their own!
