Johnny Gill: I Clashed with Michael Bivins the Most, We Talked After Kobe Died (Part 20)

[@krisj827]

So many groups break up over petty stuff. Respect to Johnny and the rest of New Edition for talking out their differences.

[@godcentricimagery1581]

I remember Bobby saying we realize we're 52 53 55...getting older. It's time to love each other and stop the fighting. Ralph still have some feelings you can tell. But they all cam now get long. Aa JG said most of their days behind them. Time to get along make this money before one of you is gone and you have nothing but regrets

[@joseph9531]

Johnny was the one that initiated the dialogue. He is really very wise and level headed.

[@ryandavis6245]

U think it's petty stuff, but we don't know these groups history. You just hear about the petty stuff because it sells.

[@billionaire33]

Love how Johnny broke it down. Listen VLAD you don't know it all. LISTEN!!!!!!!!

[@Ricsteed1987]

Masterpiece Vlad this interview speaks volumes on how short life is and the legacy we leave behind

[@thatbemefool]

🙄…you don’t have to reunite with folks. Sometimes people don’t mesh. When someone dies, the relationship as it stands is what it is. I used to be so fearful of folks dying if we weren’t speaking. One of my friends said “WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO YOOOOU?” In that moment, I started my journey to acceptance! There are certain people you don’t have to have in your life….that includes family.

[@paprvutv1054]

A HARD PAIN TO LIVE WITH

[@thehardtruth3027]

You're correct. My friend was estranged from his mom for the last 4 years of her life. When she passed, I texted my condolences, and his first repose was "you wouldn't believe the shit she was trying to pull on her way out." Also, OJ Simpson comes to mind. An interviewer asked him how he felt seeing Nicole in the casket, and he was just like "I remember looking at her and still being mad at her because I just didn't like her anymore"😂😂

[@kimr5479]

AGREED!

[@dmarioharris1375]

New edition is the RnB Avengers

[@gmcneoplan84]

I'm a fan of Michael Bivins and his work within the R&B community since the 1980s as a singer and businessman. I say that to say this, that brother is SUPER cocky and he's been that way for decades. That's just who he is.

[@NewAb22]

He has a right to be cocky considering he's wealthier than the rest of his bandmates. He's the reason why New Edition successfully transitioned into their adult sound with Heartbreak by bringing Johnny on board. Not to mention he was the one who came up with the concept of BBD and was the frontrunner of the NE Story series before the rest of the group tagged in. And we don't even need to mention bringing up Boyz II Men and Another Bad Creation

[@janaeradcliff577]

​@NewAb22 he brought out several talents other than Another bad creation boys 2 men 702, etc. list goes on, but Mike is a Leo and Leo's are misunderstood we comes across as cocky but it's confidence and self assurance

I always thought Biv was gonna be as successful as Puffy or Jay-Z . didn’t he put out Boys ll Men and Another Bad Creation?, he dropped the ball somewhere down the line

Yeah but Biv put them out under production deals..Puff and JayZ had full fledged label deals through joint ventures. Whole different ball game.

[@mrsain19]

he didnt drop the ball, he just didnt have the proper backing that he SHOULD have had. Had he had a Clive Davis behind him........Biv likely would have never returned to NE, like ever.

[@blakebarberi4828]

Listening to New Edition cd today. Most things happen for a reason. Im glad they all went separate look a all theyve contributed. Like Johnny said. These young people are going through puberty, being the breadwinner for their family, trying to stay off drugs etc. All these things are magnified when your a young artist. Plus splitting your money up times four even five people. Groups aren't meant to last forever. They should be used as a springboard into the business and you do a reunion album and a reunion tour from time to time and keep it moving. JMO

[@JayWerx]

Mike turned out to be the most business savvy

[@elijahstraight402]

Mike has been quiet during the last NE run I think he was just there to get that check , because he's a Leo and they manly know it all and have to be in control of every situation someone must have checked him because i noticed he wasn't talking at all in any New Edition interviews he seemed like he wasn't really into the group but as a member he had to be there to do his job.

Lots of childness behavior was in this group when a Older johnny came in , Most of the problem with any one including Family is people have a problem listening to one person tell them something and they run with it see you are a Garbage collector when any one does that, a person tells you something about another person an it’s written in stone to be true, first be a man or woman go talk to the person instead of taking things to heart, the Bible tells us when Two or Three are gathered together he in the midst, people need to start maturing this will extend your life an health only worry about what lord put under your roof not being in every other person business stop listening to They if they telling you about that person don’t you know they are talking about you also, Greater he that’s in you than he that’s in this world
