Posted by Bossip Staff

223182_0158-nc

While on the Monique Show, T-Boz got into some intimate details about when TLC was going through bankruptcy. She said that they received only $50,000 each off the album Crazy Sexy Cool which sold more than 15 milllion. Damn… and that’s all they got?!?!

Pop for the Interview…

Well, Left Eye was Gangsta but didn’t know T-Boz and Chilli had a little hood in them.

  8. China

  9. Bossip… you all are a Day late a dollar short with this story!


  10. duuu.. Clive DAvis? How did I NOT HEAR ABOUT THIS.. I thought I heard everything. hmmm.. now now now, I got some hunches.. I’ll be keeping them to myself though.. RIP LEFT EYE!

  11. Crystal

    This story is old! They should of read their contracts. Didn’t they have agents or lawyers helping them by then? Still terrible how bad they got taken advantage of.

  12. Sticky-n-Sweet

    All three of ‘em were hood Bossip! T Boz wound up in ATL because she got kicked out of the public schools in Iowa, where she’s originally from? Don’t y’all watch “Behind the Music”?!

  13. i know the truth

    50 k is a hell of a lot more than those crack ***** *****es were worth on in the real world–I would say more like 7.50 an hour–so they should have been like–overjoyed to get that paycheck–and now look at them–dead and done.

  14. i know the truth

    and who the *****k gave dumb fat ***** monique a show–damn ni66ers are dumb

  15. Alrighty Then...

    I saw this on the Monique show the other night… my first thought was, yall went through all of that, and ya’ll STILL didn’t get the damn money… smh…

  16. Alrighty Then...

    And Puffy snitched on ‘em! lol! Loose lips and loose booty to match! lol… (j/k…)


  17. LOL!

    They will get it popping. If you are friends with an arsonist (Love you Left Eye R.I.P) then I am super sure that you have a Lil’ Hood in you! Really!


  18. And Puffy snitched on ‘em! lol! Loose lips and loose booty to match! lol… (j/k…)

    ********************************************************

    DEAD!! But it’s not a joke! His booty is loose like Starburst juice

  19. See Me Love Me

    Ole Tionne talked about it on their Behind the Music, but I didn’t know it was only 50K!! Id’a shot his ***** up too! And who didn’t know T-Boz was Ghett…SHE MARRIED MACK 10

  20. Silken Dove

    Sounds like they should have given Mr. Knowles a holla.

  21. tlc fan

    I love T-Boz!! my fav of them all

  22. cruzan trini

    RIP LEFT EYE!!!

  23. BOOGIE

    CORRECTION-$75 million is how much they made off of that tour and cd

  24. dayg715

    TLC was always gangsta. they’re not the biggest selling female group of all time for nothing.

  25. 2cents

    TLC was sh*t anyways, Left Eye was the only one with talent and if you go back and look at the last award show they were on together I believe it was on BET those *****es had were acting fly with Left Eye anyways they were not her friends.


  26. Oct 22, 2009 – 11:01 am BOOGIE

    CORRECTION-$75 million is how much they made off of that tour and cd

    But, they only got 50K? tHEY WAS RUSHIN’ TO SIGN THEM PAPERS.

  27. CJ

    A cl*****ic example of why education is important. People need to be reading newspapers, books, signs on the road, so the can discern information when it’s presented to them. Parents need to be reading to their babies in the womb. The ***** is real. The real war on terror should be how *****ed up of a job we are doing in the black community.

    But then, if you rolling on 24’s (on a leased ride) and renting a million dollar spot while dripping in diamonds and LV and Gucci….life is good!

  28. Aunt Viv

    We’ve been known TLC was hood-no news there! Don’t let anyone rush you to sign anything until you read everything carefully, especially the fine print.

  29. Redbone_Darkbutt_Black_White (It's just coochie)

    Let’s see:

    Old “kosher” ***** *****kas gross : $75,000,000
    total to 3 naive sistas 150,000

    Old “kosher” ***** *****kas net: $74,850,000

    Yeah … young ***** steals a $15 Cd from the old
    “kosher” ***** *****kas outlet: jail time.

    And for robbin’ 3 naive sistas blind, the old kosher ***** *****kas got ……?

    P A I D !!!!!!!!

  30. ahni

    RIP left eye. T boz is cool but CHILLI is my favorite! She is sooooo beautiful! She still is too! That woman has not aged one bit!

  31. e-ka

    God aint going to give you more than you can handle. She went bankrupt making $50,000. Then years later she has a child and spends $78,000 on clothing! Still a dummy

  32. Yoda

    Man Monique, talking so much.

    Now holding up a white man hostage and you still free; God was with them, they could’ve been dead.

    I guess when your young and you get access to money, some people spend it on dumb shat.

  33. Sucks2BeU

    The were taken advantage of because they were so young and dumb at the time. Those kids could not have understood the legalistic phrases that were designed to screw them. Poor kids from the hood do not have the money to hire lawyers, agents, etc. until they have actually made some money or acquired fame, by then it is much too late because the contract is signed. They were pimped. The average middle cl***** family make at least $50k per year. They were played. L.A. Reid and Pebbles were looking out for themselves only. They lined their pockets at the expense of these talented young women. Young people who aren’t educated from the hood and without legal representation always get played. Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and a whole list of white people would never have this happen to them and they are very rich. Our kids are so happy to hear that we are getting a gig or music deal that they will sign anything. Clive Davis, L.A. Reid, and Pebbles owe these women…big-time!!

  34. wifey06

    told ya’ll modern day salves

    these celebs and the folsk paying their music. We buy the music to support our black artist when really the money is another way for the whiteman to colect our money.

    These folks sell not only their souls but their race over to white man’s greed!!!!!!!!!!!!

    clive davis been raping black women for decades.

  35. $$$=GOD in USA

    america is the land of the free. Yeah free to bust your azz to have most of it taxed as soon as you get your money and then taxed again for everything you buy. Where the corporations have been allowed to rape the country blind and then we pay to keep those same business afloat by giving them more of our hard earned money.

    America is a great get over system for corporations set up by them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  36. ItsLikeWhatever

    I love Mo’Nique, but I hate her show-it irritates me…am I the only one?

  37. Govt. Cheese

    You guys talk smack about P-Diddy being the devil but this stealing goes on ALL the time in the music industry. Its how they get paid.

    I am not a Diddy fan but it is how the business works and I am sure there are bigger villains than Piddy in this industry.

  38. Truth

    See their story on VH1’s Behind the Music. This story is YEARS old. Come again, Bossip. Come again.

  39. Truth

    “I love Mo’Nique, but I hate her show-it irritates me…am I the only one?”
    ————————————————

    @ ItsLikeWhatever
    No you’re not. I can’t stand her show, all that hollerin’. Ughhhhh!!!

  40. Don't think I Won't Hitch Yah...Cause I'm Famous (I Believe in KARMA)

    Question about the story? Did they get arrested for this putting a gun to his head?

    @ITsLikeWhatever…You’re not the only one. Monique irritates the hell out of me, i was so glad when they booted her ***** off our radio station…She tries to hard and rubs me the wrong way. I think it’s her voice, or something not sure what it is about her.LLS

  41. ItsLikeWhatever

    @Truth and Don’t Think I Won’t…Yes!! She hollers too much and tries too hard…and she says “Baby” over and over again.

    Pink and green, brother pink and green.
    Said it before, and it bears repeating.

    (Pink as in the color of a GOOD woman’s coochie, and green as in the color of MONEY).

    *****s need to know the BUSINESS end of
    entertainment. It’s about who gets PAID,
    and not who gets gossiped about on *****
    like this.

    For every ***** on a red carpet, there are a dozen managers, agents, lawyers, accountants, bookers, promoters …. sending their kids to Harvard and paying the full tuition … based on the sales of that *****s music.

    If you are serious about this business, get the hell off the keyboards for a minute, step away from the console, turn off the amps, unplug the signal processors… to onto Google and key in the search:

    “understanding the music industry”

    and read, read, read …. study, study, study … learn, learn, learn.

    It is FIRST and FOREMOST a BUSINESS …. and *****ody is going to look out for you, but YOU. Don’t blame the damn executives, you are just like *****s working on an *****embly line at a car factory to them (think that’s a little harsh? did you LISTEN to what happened to T-Boz et al.????)

  44. LEOBABY!!

    BET is low budget

  45. LBCER

    It was their first album. They didn’t have attorneys and *****.

  46. Never Take S!des

    How do u sign a .01% contract.LMAO.
    He probaly told they ***** ohh this means your getting “1 hundreth ” percent LOL. And they was like ohhhh ***** guuurl we getten all our money.LMAO
    Hello pigeons 1 hundred and 1 hundreth are two different amounts.LMAO

  47. elektrikeccentrik

    @ never take s!des
    lmao

  48. quietstorm372

    LA Greid!

  49. T-BREEZY

    That’s no surprise, they were ghetto as hell back in the day! They’re just OG’s now!

    If you are serious about music, use this isbn
    and order the book — it is ESSENTIAL to understand
    the music BUSINESS before you sign anything.
    isbn: 0-8230-7723-3

  51. Redbone_Darkbutt_Black_White (It's just coochie)

    the book is:

    This Business of Music: The Definitive Guide to the Music Industry

    isbn: 0-8230-7723-3

  52. not so interesting..

    @Redbone_Darkbutt_Black_White (It’s just coochie)

    THANK YOU!!! it is a business and it should be treated as any other business.

  53. Atl_Finest

    I can’t believe I was making more than them.

  54. sexzlady

    Damn….they was young and dumb, lesson learned i see

    Monique is waaaaay 2 loud, and talkin too much….i have yet to watch this show but every clip i see she’s yelling uuhh a mess

  55. djblack

    terrible math monique

  56. always knew

    Lisa “Left-Eye Lopes” was the most creative out of the group and the only one who had any *****…

    They should’ve hired their own attorney before they signed and maybe they could’ve prevented this…

    I hope her and Chili find something to get paid on!

    Best wishes.

  57. always knew

    I can’t stand Monique. She’s everything that a blk woman should aspire NOT to be….

  58. VA

  59. trina1126

    I love them thats all i can say

  60. burito9245

    I liked that she mimicked Left Eye….too funny. I can see them being *****ed as hell! That wasn’t right how they got played. That’s a lesson learned the hard way…read the fine print before signing anything. TLC was hot!!

  61. BOSSIP IS WHACK!

    they were supposed to at least get 2.5 million each…

  62. J

    I love TLC. They will forever be my favourite girl group. Too cute

  63. LoriE

    Man, why did they give her obnoxious ***** a show?

  64. Shay

    One reason why a lot of people could care less about the financial problems in the music industry. They’ve been stealing money from artists for years.

    If TLC went to jail then Arista, LaFace, and Pebbles would have to explain what happened to the 75 Million. It would have brought attention to the real problem. What other reason would they get off for??

  65. Amanda Baby

    @ shante

    OMG I hate her show too! she is an Overly Excited, Obnoxious…Nucense! UGH Hateeee itt with a p*****ion!

  66. CubaLinda

    Like TBoz, hair needed to be done better though. I am glad they didnt get in trouble for that mess though, but they should have pistol whipped Sean Combs ***** *****!!


  67. Monique is LOUD!!! I realize she is down with us O-KAYYYYYY!!! She don’t have to keep representing. But you know what, she get certain celebrities on her show to talk the real ***** the stuff that really be going on. Sometimes it be cut too short and I was like, “FOR REAL!” But by making them comfortable and calling them out; they tend to say what they feel because *****ody white watches that show. Monique who!!!! If you read like she said T-boz had brain surgery from a tumor. She is probably letting her hair grow back. (GOOGLE) Diva’s look like how they want.

  68. i know the truth

    MONIQUE IS SUCH A FAT OL BUTTER BEAN NI66ER *****–HOW AND WHY IS SHE FAMOUS

  69. fromhercreativemind

    I don’t blame TLC, I would have jacked up clive davis ole azz too! lol I hope he aint fuggin’ wit mario and alicia keys money like like that.
