[@liqwidmediaworkztv]

Crazy story, I was working on a Whoopi Goldberg film in Charlotte, NC called Eddie. The whole time there was this lady eyeing me down and as chance may have it, we ended up sitting next to each other and began talking. She apologized for staring and told me I looked familiar, but during the conversation my music came up. She told me to come by her husband’s office and bring a demo. She felt I had a good look and who knows, maybe I can have a place on her husband’s label. So I went and that’s when I met Max Gousse. I was shocked to see that a label connected to Adina Howard, Michael Speaks, etc was hidden in plain sight in Charlotte, NC. For some reason Mr Gousse never really listened to my music, but it was one of the many awesome memories I’ll never forget.

[@URBANTVOndemand]

Oh Wow! Small world!

[@papistan1498]

It was a great shame that Adina's Welcome To Fantasy Island album was not officially. I have a Promo CD, it has some really great tracks. Also, the ballad remix of Freak Like Me (also known as The Slow Wind Remix) is a stunning track

[@itstaemonson]

I’d figure I’d watch this because I remembered the Kendrick line that mentioned her

Smart move to dis the Label Executive and their number one artist. No wonder they shelve her record.

*TRAGIC! From a FEMININITY standpoint. But if you haven't heard her The 2nd Coming album, go listen! It's STILL one of my favorite R&B albums! I remember seeing her, I believe it was on New York Undercover* *CHANGED MY LIFE!!!* *So I went down to the RECORD STORE (thatz right YOUNGSTAZ, the RECORD STORE!) and bought the album, PURE GOLD!!!* #Underrated

[@RandomBlackGamer]

Its kinda sad that the record label screwed Adina over due to the love triangle between her, Wanya, and Brandy. What's even more screwed up was that Brandy was a minor while Wanya was grown. It would've been more fitting for Adina and Wanya to be together since they were the same age...

Will always be her freak like me😘

[@BigDapPacino]

I probably said “ Lawdhavemercy” out loud at least 50 or 60 times during this interview…in my opinion, it was a lack of promotion and distribution after she left East West Records…basically she was doing what SZA and several others did just a few years ago and what Donna Summer , Betty Wright, and Millie Jackson as well as Grace Jones did before Her…” My Nasty Grind” is a beautiful song and I always felt like she needed a more prolific or well connected producer/songwriter to collaborate with…the knowledge that she is single now…OMG!

The one hit she had was such a nothing happening song. When I 1st saw her I knew she would join the one hit wonder club!

[@aliciab719]

Her album was one of my favs back then. She was so underrated. Back when all the men groups were getting freaky as usual a woman couldn't get freaky. Smh sad that a romance always ruin women but not men.

[@factionjaxon4119]

That first album was a really good one. I used to recommend it to a lot of people that weren't familiar with it. I never suggest to people anymore. Ii think the crudeness and over sexualization of the current artists put there has somehow diminished my appreciation of her original work.

WTF2 THAT... THAT WAS NOT EVEN GOOD BUSINESS, the female at the label should have been fired for a move like that.................
