As the Sugababes today confirm our report that they have ceased working with Roc Nation (aka were dropped), fresh reports have emerged today suggesting that ousted member Keisha Buchanan is on the brink of signing with the Jay-Z-owned firm for her solo project.
Buchanan and the rapper are said to have hit it off at the BRITS after-party last month, with Roc Nation set to formally meet with the 25 year old during her current trip to Los Angeles for the recording of her solo LP.
Should such a deal be finalised, it would ironically be exactly the same deal Buchanan entered into as part of the group – which would see her record label remain Universal Island, while Roc Nation would, essentially, A&R/produce the project.
How the tables have turned!
—————————————————————-
Karma really is serving it up! Granted we don’t actually know what went on behind the scenes, for many it simply boils down to principle – you can not dispose of the last original component of a group and expect credibility or support to remain. It just doesn’t work like that. How any label or management team failed to foresee this back in September is anyone’s guess. I mean, prior to Keisha’s album even coming out, the group are being forced to eat some serious humble-pie, with ‘Sweet 7’ belly-flopping and public support and interest at an all-time low.
About the Roc Nation deal; it’s definitely understandable as to why they are actively seeking out Keisha. It is no secret that for many years she was the creative force behind the Sugababes, particularly with the last line-up. Hence, common-knowledge was the fact that she’d often be the first and last at the studio, co-wrote many of their hits, and enjoyed great relationships with several producers – a number of which, reportedly, refused to begin work with the other ladies until Keisha arrived at the studio.
One can only hope that Keisha really serves up the hotness with her solo project and is successful; which if she manages to pull off, will be one of the biggest stories in recent UK music history.

WTF?? Now they are ignoring the fact that they’re signed to Roc Nation
LMAO. Great news though. Congrats.
This is so cool Go Keisha.
She must have some good head if Jay signed her.
I though the reason they kick Keisha out is because she hard to work with a bully & she was cause conflict with their deal with roc nation?
I think amelle even said that in a radio interview, now sugababes 4.0 are dropped & roc nation want kiesha, that is more then karma
If she so hard to work with why do roc nation want to sign her?
I think the whole bullying story was a lie from the management & amelle an excuses to kicking out the last original member of the group. Since there were bully claims from the first time a member left.
I’m glad this has happened. Go Keisha. We love you.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!
I am ROOTING for Keisha……i always knew that the whole incident of her being kicked out of the group was very sketchy and the excuse of the bullying issue was a farce……
Karma is defintely a b*tch……but a nice one in this case.
GO KEISHA!!!
Amelle must be extra salty right now! Sam can u please stop using that disgusting “serves up the hotness” line?! Sounds so stupid and q****, just stop!
No real sympathy for the Sugababes here. I’m glad Keisha is getting the last laugh as to be sacked from a band which you founded has gotta suck. They had no right to do that! Now they are paying the price!
Im not sure the keisha thing is true, sounds too good to be but we’ll see, however, them being dropped is hilarious, they just released a statement saying they were never signed, the press mis-reported them but every single member including both jade and keisha explicitly stated that they signed to the roc nation label, so their either lying now or they were lying before, either way they need to give up, its time this group came to a close, end of.
I always knew they’d be dropped – said this as soon as I heard they kicked out Keisha. It’s really karma coming back to bite them in the a***. Feel sorry for Jade – she doesn’t deserve this, no any of the hated coming her way. She is now the most talented member of the Sugababes.
Oh, and so happy to hear Keisha’s may be signed to Roc Nation. This obviously shows that all that bullying BS Amelle was tryna spout was a lie…
Keisha rules she still has a huge fanbase in the UK and the fact that the new babes album flopped so hard shows that people have remained loyal to Keisha.I wish her all the best
I wish to touch her boobs.
Wouldn’t it be cool if they kicked out Heidi and Amelle and replaced them with Mutaya and Keisha and Jade???
The new sugababes: JADE, KEISHA and MUTAYA!
Now that would be an awesome line up!
what do you think?
We all knew this would happen. Sorry but Heidi and Amelle can NOT carry a group. They always relied on Keisha to push them forward. Heidi looks so out of place with Amelle and Jade now, as if she’s their mother. Amelle is a poor man’s version of Rihanna, and the “edgy” haircut they gave her makes her look like a mental patient.
I never cared too much for Amelle, but I always like Heidi until this happened with Keisha. We all know who the original and best Sugababe is and always will be – and it’s Keisha. I honestly think they could have had switched lineups every single year, and as long as Keisha was still in it and in the front, they’d be a success.
So excited to see what she can do on her own. I really hope she is able to break through into the U.S. with her solo career.
aww im happy for her 🙂
She’s gonna flop too, she can’t sing & she isn’t pretty enough. Truth.
Im so glad that keisha is getting the deal.
Im glad the the fake sugababes got dropped.
I hope in the future after keisha’s solo release the original sugababes reunite.
I cant wait for the keisha and mutya colab.
@Kyus93
u are a HATER
yesssssssss!!!!!! 🙂 i wish all the luck to her
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
KARMA IS A B**** WITH REVENGE IN A BASKET!!!!!!!!!!
Im happy for K. she deserves this much more, sorry to say. Sugababes are over. I see a white flag being raised LLS
@kyu when keisha isnt pretty enough, then alexandra isnt pretty enough either, cause keisha has a way prettier face
…dont know if keisha is able to do it alone…main part of the success of the sugababes was that theire voices matched perfect together (sugababes 2.0) but alone they are not so outstanding
think it will depend on the single choices
honestly, never knew why mutyas cd didnt do well, cause it has great songs
Loving this news, I’ve wanted Keisha to go solo since amelle joined anyway, because amelle ruined the group. Although Keisha’s circumstances for going solo were not good at all, at least it happened, and I’m so glad that many people chose the right side, Keisha’s.
Also… @Kyus93 Keisha has the best voice out of any of the sugababes and is the most attractive woman from the UK. Truth.
Love Keisha wish her the best in the future.
WHO WANTS TO SEE THIS MISERABLE COW GO SOLO????
NOT ME!
Team Kes! I love that the sugafakes are getting this back 10 fold
I’m not entirely sure if Keisha was the sole creative force behind the group, because Sugababes’ last 2 albums under the 3.0 line-up weren’t great. And even though it’s easy to say ‘Sweet 7’ is garbage because Keisha is no longer in the group – she recorded the whole album before she was sacked, and the music itself is complete garbage regardless of who is singing it. I think the creativity stemmed from the first 2 line-up’s. Something about Keisha AND Mutya both being in the mix helped the music. Plus, Mutya’s voice set such a good foundation for the songs.
I think it’s a shame what the group has been reduced to. I listen to ‘Taller in more ways’, ‘Three’ and ‘Angels with dirty faces’ and cannot believe what the Sugababes have become. Everything has just fallen apart.
I’m glad Keisha’s solo deal is working out. But I don’t know if the Roc Nation route is best. The A&R folk for ‘Sweet 7’ did a terrible job. I think Keisha should work with the producers she formed relationships with as part of the Sugababes (Jony Rockstar, Cameron McVey, Guy Sigsworth) and work a new sound with them. Because I really don’t want 12 tracks of Stargate, RedOne and b******* like “Get s***”.
BAHAHAHAHA!
Serves the girls right!!!!!!!!!!!!,go head Keshia,get that paper!!!!!!
As much as I want great things for her, a 3 minute song with just her voice alone will annoy me. Her voice needs to be in a collab or within a group. Seriously.
Everytime i see Keisha i wann punch her in her face! Her face expressions are even pure evil! I can totally understand Amelle & heidi! I´m even more sorry for heidi who has been going through keisha hell a lot longer! Keisha´s voice annoys me everytime i hear it and dont even get me started on her look! Makes me wanna puke! Hope she fails with her solo career! Go Sugababes 4.0!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sugafan you can totally understand amelle and heidi? is that you, mrs. Berrabah? mrs. Range?
@podfk thought the same
is that you amelle?
you know with you starting in the band they became worse?
@ podfk, dan: you two should start a career as stand-up comedians, at some places they offer night for amateurs 😉
@sugafan stop the crack u can hate miss keisha all the time u want but at the end of the day karma bite them hard in the ass!!!!
if u think that amelle ,heidi ,and jade are the sugababe i ‘ll suggest u to go to listen denial lol
u never was a sugafan to begin with cause if u were not able to support an original member i don’t even know why u speaking now…it’s seems that for a lot of the sugafakes fans the sugababes were like itunes 1.1 …itunes 1.2 and so on damn it’s deals about a band!!!! u can say to luv a band and act as if nothin happened when the last original member has been kicked out!!!
as for k i always think that she was the sugababe since mutya left !!!!both of them have huge voices and had great personnality whoever has the courage to say that that girl can’t sing must be definitely deaf!!!
oh my gosh!! get over it u haters! U are all acting like 1 years olds!!
Sugababes are now JADE HEIDI and AMELLE. Deal with it and if you dont like them just dont buy their CDs!!! Its all about the music… stop with the hate… Love ya JADE Honeyy 😉
@Sweet7 “if you dont like them just dont buy their CDs” – you’re saying it like more than a million copies of Sweet7 were sold HAHAHA you stans need to be the one to grow up. we are entitled to hate because the management ruined one of the most unique bands ever. it was always all saints and sugababes, versus the spice girls, atomic kitten, girls aloud, the saturdays – and JLS. lol. they have become the epitome of everything i hate about pop music now and i want what i had fallen in love about them before.
@dieamelledie tell em baby!!!!!!actually nobody has bought that damn cd that’s why it’s flopping hard!!!!so i’d like to know what he/she talkin about!!!! we re here to celebrate the flop!!! not to argue about somethin that is already over hhehehehheheh
My name is SUGAFAN and i suck d#ck for a living, i have no friends and nobody loves me cos im a fat w****.
@ dieamelledie: wow u must be a really frustrating d*** sucking cow! u probably have a lot of experience in that u ugly fagot!!!!!! Everyone is entitled to have a opinion so go back to school, i´d say kindergarden to learn to RESPECT!!
God i´m such a ugly fagot! Why is my ASS sooo fat and i´m proud to be the son/ daughter of a w****……….
Hi I’m Sweet7. I flopped.
Hi does anybody know which single will be released next? Plus whats up with all the hate here 🙂 I understand some of you, but give Jade a chance, she´s a awesome singer. I personally consider Heidi Range as a original member, as i didnt even know sugababes when that other girl was in the group.
It was supposed to be Crash & Burn, but they’ve officially changed it to Miss Everything. Not a good choice imo.
Keshia is one ugly mofo as if she is gonna be big in the usa shes not even big here,
the sugababes look well better now that she got the boot, it was well over due 😀
