: Looks like there's trouble on the Mary J Blige-Jay Z tour already. MediaTakeOut.com has learned that members of Mary's camp and members of Jay Z's camp are sqaubbling over the amount of money each artist will receive.
One insider told MediaTakeOut.com, "[They] announced the tour without completely ironing out all the details and that's causing problems ... It shouldn't cause the tour to be cancelled or anything like that, but there's definitely some hard feeling on both sides."
Are we gonna have another Best Of Both Worlds fiasco??? Is Ta Ta gonna end up macing Kendu??? Lawd hammercy....
The music industry is full of crooks. Thats why its best to establish your own camp and work with the artist that are under your label. Didn't the south teach you anything. Independent is the way to go. You make more money going gold independently that you do going platnum with a deal. Just ask Danity Cane and in a few months ask the boy band and donnie.
OK, first of all they said their "people" are fighting over money. Stop believing everything you read Black people. And why are some of y'all so quick to throw dirt on Jay-Z's name? How sad you must be. Get it, they're both RICH with or without the tour. Will there be egos, ofcourse, they're both big names, but trust when I tell you, he ain't the man, the media(takeout) so often tries to paint him out to be.
FREE YOUR MIND!
IT KILLS ME WHEN PEOPLE SAY, THE ARTIST PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING OVER THE MONEY.
IF THE ARTIST SAYS, YES I'LL ACEEPT SO AND SO AMOUNT, THEN THAT WOULD BE THE END OF THE DISCUSSION. THEIR PEOPLE WOULDN'T GO BACK AND FORTH IF THE ARTIST AGREES TO AN AMOUNT.
SO, THE ARTIST DOES HAVE A VOICE IN THE NEGOTATIONS.
greenking ppl like u are startin to get on my last nerve stop w/the copyin and pastin and advertising ur goddamn stupid sites!!
Jay is the problem, his ego is too big to share the stage w/anyone else unless its his ho behonce. How about thet split the $$ half ways?? do u really need a genius to come up w/that?

Doubt it! That would probably just be too much. Working with someone your in a relationship with is irritating. Plus the mystery of the two of them is what makes them so hot because eveybody wants to know what's going on.
Also, Beyonce' sells much more ticket's then Mary could dream and they cost much more =)
Well if (and I mean if) this happens to be true I do remember a certain poster, I believe his name is BRUTALLYHONEST, who stated when the tour was announced that money would be a factor within the first six months....
That's Jigga for ya, the new Berry Gordy, trying his best to get over on black people. Hmmm, how come you never see any WHITES having a problem with Jay-Z's business practices????
If this is true, which im sure it's not, it is healthier and more beneficial for them to hammer out differences before the tour gets started...This is how all successful engagements happen in the first place...and it not uncommon to see great people bicker to have better outcomes of success .......God lead mary and she has never been an orchestrator of confussion and drama.......this is just a picture....where lies can be said to make it appear anyway one chooses.....
Come on people, think for yourselves. JZ has already been burned by R. Kelly, why would he enter into another tour without getting the money straight. He has a lot of business savvy, he wouldn't make a mistake like that, and neither would Mary. They are good friends that go way back. They make a good combo, one of the best singers and one of the best rappers. Sounds like wishful thinking on somebody's part.
WTF ya'll talking about MTO....Ya'll just trying to start some shyt!!

@prissy not that i don't love b but ummm you better go wiki ms. blige: she has sold more than 40 million records and over 10 million singles worldwide. she also received eight Grammy Awards for her work. she writes,acts,She is a spokesperson and investor for Carol's Daughter beauty products. She also has her own record label called Matriarch Records, which is distributed through Geffen.
Bey's just a baby compared to Mary! you gotta respect the queen of hip-hop soul :-) whom still has many loyal fans.
Cadburry Kiss I remember that. You were right on the money with that one.
AND YO Business Stop blowing up the boards with your whack azz spam trying to sell another whack ass talentless ghetto CD. Yall fools sending the music industry down the damn drain. "Life or Death Entertainment"... Can we spell phuckin G.H.E.T.T.O
Not even the damn CD cover is original.
The Po House in the background...been saw that.. Camouflage Gear...Done saw that Holding a stack of singles in your hand... saw that at the skrip clubb Using "Death" in your record label. Been done saw it.
I dont even wanna hear the whack ass already been done over and over tracks that would come out some ghetto studio.
I doubt this very seriously. MJB is the QUEEN of Hip Hop R & B, Camel face is known as the #1 Rap Artist of all time for some dumb ass reason. His rap lyrics don't make sense....truth be told. Anyone that knows REAL rap skills and talent, will also know that TUPAC was and will always be known as the FORREAL #1 Rapper. Anyway, MJB don't even have to talk Jay Z let alone argue about some damn money. Because the music and entertainment business. She's not NEW to it, she's true to it. So once again I believe this is a MTO B.S. posting, just to get peoples attention.
Prissy you sound foolish, none of that bullshit B put out is deeper than Mary...Mary is for grown people! And J Z azz is older that Mary, ...yet I want to see this concert...it would be hot so I hope they get it together...Mary [EXPLETIVE] is classic..."My Life, Share My World will be forever on my ipod, and she made those before there were ipods! I can't remember the name of any of B's cd's????
Like I said before, Mary has come along way since the 411 and she is HOTTER THAN EVER so JZ would be a fool to act a fool with Mary. Even his girl Bey would be like, Fool, get that girl and go on tour and act like you've got some sense, LOL True music lovers will pay top dollar to see Mary and Jigga.
