Re: NOT ANOTHER BRANDY!!!!
 

I don't know if these pics have been posted before, but it looks like she can't be too far away now. She looks a lot like Beyonce in the 2nd and 3rd pics.

Again, I saw this coming. **SMH**

is that woman with her one of her "servants"?

Re: NOT ANOTHER BRANDY!!!!
 

Huh? Ummm, how did that happen? :confused: :eek:

Re: Re: Re: NOT ANOTHER BRANDY!!!!
 

It actually looks like their cousin. I forgot her name, but she was on Beyonce: Behind the Music and she was on one of the pictures from Beyonce's b-day party last year. If I'm not mistaken, I think it's her. If not, they resemble one another.

I understand about the image that her family wants to have and everything, but I don't think I could ever justify paying a man to marry my daughter. It just isn't that serious. How did Solange feel knowing that her dad paid her baby daddy off? I'd feel kinda weird about that. I mean, of course he's gonna be involved in the child's life now. He stands to make more money off of the deal. I think the family involvement made a bad situation worse.

That's their cousin Angie. She's Beyonce's personal assistant.

Matthew gets PAID being "Bs" manager. Solange may have made a FEW dollars with Johnson's family reunion, but I'm sure the home is in Matt's and Tina's name.

Do you guys think she makes money writing songs? I think she's a songwriter.

No, she doesn't make a lot of money as a songwriter. That money comes from royalty checks, and your songs have to get played in order to get some loot as a writer.

I'd be mad as hell if my daddy paid some dude off to marry me, what kind of message is that?

To play the Devil's advocate, it really is no different from a dowry. Because this is something that we don't really do in our culture, it seems weird. But lots of people "get paid" to marry someone. Just not a million dollars. And why would you say after 30 days??? What a waste of a million dollars. I would have made the agreement 5 years, and you get a cool $200,000 per year until the deal is complete. Thirty days... what a schmuck.

Not that I would ever have to pay someone to marry my baby. People might be trying to pay ME! That's if I have a baby and if it's a girl. Ah, I've digressed... :D

But, what did Solange get out of the deal? The parents got to cover up the "SCANDAL" :rolleyes:, ol' dude got a cool million, but what did Solange get? *coughcoughripoffcoughcough*

I don't think that is totally true. The money is in the writing and producing of materials, NOT solely being a singer.

As a writer, you get money whenever someone uses your material OR re-makes YOUR song. The money IS in writing. So, yeah...she's getting paid her songs are EVERYWHERE.

There are many artists out there we have not heard of who are writers. When artists like Usher, etc. make the money with the hits...so are the writers.

ETA: That's why Lionel Richie won't go broke...he is a songwriter! :D

according to supa cindy...

:eek:

EXACTLY!! What was the point for her? She's not an A list celebrity that we see on the news everyday. So, did she really have a 'rep' to protect. They could have done just as well to keep her in hiding until the baby was born or something like that. I just don't see why this was needed, especially if the dude bounced anyway. I mean, wasn't that the whole point of the sham marriage, so they could look like a happy couple that wanted to be together to raise their child? :confused:

Wait? So Solange's babydaddy has split? :o :confused:
