Cutting the Manager out of the Deal

If she was innocent, she would have her son in court. That was a dead giveaway, she played it off, as her son was so traumatized, he just could not bare any more pain. O please.. She sure wasnt a very good drama actress, nor to bright to bring in that expensive fur coat.. A slap in the plaintiff's face. She was the con, in my eyes.

She was Def in on it.. your daughter has 15 k in jewelry she was very hesitant and thought about saying her jewelry was costume after she realized why the judge was asking. She thought she had it figured out and didn't realize that as the producer he had the rights over the album and could have it removed from those platforms. Her greed could've cost her son .. play stupid games win stupid prizes

[@teee1304]

The defendant is clearly lying, the plaintiff just isn’t able to articulate his case well

[@Marc-King777]

Well, maybe if JM wasn't cutting him off every 10 seconds, he would. Plus he seemed to have more evidence when he was in the hallway but I think with a case like this it's going to take more time to sort out than one episode would allow. That's basically why JM didn't give him much time to explain it and dismissed it with prejudice.

Who would hack into the email of a 16-year-old up and coming artist and promise his manager almost a quarter million dollars to get big names on his album? What's their incentive? Literally there is NO person in the world with more to gain than those two. This is a classic case of fake it til you make it.

[@augustmoon9973]

Exactly, I'm really wondering the same thing. The mom is the link to every contract, and there is a missing piece that she's not disclosing.

[@msawmusic]

I’m confused because if the universal contract wasn’t real to begin with, where was the 200k suppose to come from lol

[@monas5164]

@@msawmusic That's exactly my point. They faked the Universal contract to lead the plaintiff to believe he was financially backed by a big label. They essentially wanted him to use his connections to get her son exposure and work for FREE.

[@Marc-King777]

True enough. I really think the judge should have given the man more time to explain his side. Professional music contracts (and the music industry in general) can be very complex. He seemed like at the end out in the hall he had more evidence to present, but the judge just quickly brushed him off. I honestly think she did that because his case was going to take more time to sort out than one episode would allow. But it's obvious to a blind man that the defendant was shady.

You know that ghetto woman got that money... She couldn't even resist leaving the fur at home and humbling herself 💯

Sounds like the mother faked a record deal to get the plaintiff to promote the sons album and songs. The defendant admitted that the plaintiff is the one who got the music on iTunes and Spotify!! The defendant and her son have been making money and that’s why he didn’t want to show up and lie about it!! Edit: She promised him $200k to get him to do the work knowing he would never get anything from them!!

[@thealexander4593]

😅😅😅😅 I fell out

[@nannynewsviews542]

Yeah I was lost. It’s probably a virtual home school

[@synnove1046]

She didn’t give a clear answer but it’s probably correct. My daughter went to an online school for 1.5 years during high school that was offered by our school district. It had a specific name that was very generic sounding and kind of a mouthful so we usually just shortened it to “E-learning” because that was part of the name. A lot of people in the program just called it “home school.” So if somebody asked any of the parents where our kids went to school they sometimes got vague answers like “home school”. She definitely should’ve named the actual online program. But her un-specific answer doesn’t mean she was making it up. Edit: I just re-watched that part of the video. She answered “His school…Inspire”. So “Inspire” is the name of his online school.

[@leokoos8412]

It is so obvious that the mother is scam in in this. Injustice for the plaintiff and his work! The mother’s behavior after the verdict says it all.

[@silvermillennial]

Good god, he was terrible at presenting his case. He just assumed JM knew the business and all of the people involved and got so unnecessarily exasperated when he kept getting stopped so he could actually explain things. 😂

[@livinmabestlife]

Right

[@HangOnSloopy...]

I think if he actually answered her questions that she was asking he'd understand she was trying to get the lingo and people's names straight. But he was so stuck on the mom keeping money from him that he'd ramble and JM would get frustrated because her questions wouldn't get answered. He just thought he'd say they owe me money and the judge would give it to him. Plus he took the album off of Spotify and iTunes or whatever so how does he expect the album to make money so he can get paid. All in all it was on him to provide evidence and a signed contract alone in this case wasn't enough because of the dollar amount and all the people he claimed were apart of the scam and all the people he claimed said they didn't know anything about a contract. He pawned earring that didn't belong to him and the police have them. He did so to get paid by any means necessary but he might end up doing time because of how much he received. The truth will come out soon enough. It always does. But that boy should continue to make music and use the sources he already has, kurupt and the dog pound. When he turns 18 he can drop his mom bc it looks like they way she does business is holding him back!!!

[@JayJay-me8zk]

Took the cleaning crew hours to sweep up all the names he dropped 😳 I was so confused! Lol

[@WritesMyLife]

@@HangOnSloopy...she is an extremely bias judge. It is her responsibility to under the basis of how a record label contract is created and who would be involved in signing cuz she is the deciding judge. She had time to review the cases because she has explained how she looks over submitted court docs. The Defendant couldn’t even make sense of how her son is homeschooled but the school is handling it. That’s not how home schooling works smh the judge didn’t even question who is going to hack an email to send a second contract to the Plaintiff. The mother, if anything, should’ve been pissed off of a possibility of fraud but she wasn’t..that’s an obvious red flag. Judge didn’t ask what the husband did to afford a fur coat, the daughter’s jewelry costing so much.. Judge was instant,y convinced that the mother didn’t know how to upload music to Spotify/iTunes when she orchestrated how her son got his alleged music deal and Whitney and Bobby following, etc.

The plaintiff didn't do a good job of presenting his case. He came across as confused and not on top of things. His anger in the hallway shows that he is not very savvy and doesn't understand the ins and outs. Also, I think the defendant and possibly the record company knows he is not very business savvy and they are duping him.

[@jamesde74]

It’s so odd the A&R guy writing him telling him cease and desist from contacting me. I wonder was the plan to use this guy for his contacts and ability to get all these artists on his album and now they just don’t want to pay. She said he’s on the charts which means the music is generating revenue…where is it? Clearly this guy doesn’t know what he’s doing and has gotten played, luckily she dismissed the case without prejudice so he can go do some more investigating and find out where the money is going…the way her demeanor changed after they left out of the court room I think she sitting on some money she either getting it directly or they got some kind of shady way they’re receiving the money and he doesn’t know it. And why she up there cheesing with all her grill out I hope she know he can re-file and bring her back to court as soon as he get his ducks lined up. She too calm for somebody who ain’t been paid if she was waiting to get paid like she claims, she would be just as mad as the plaintiff is.

[@Orlandoloc83]

That's an expensive coat. And, the husband bought it 3 months ago? The costume jewelery she probably owned before, but a good fur can cost thousands... I think her son got paid. It's unusual that 205k would just go missing and no one can say who was paid. Interesting case.
