Last November, Sony Pictures Entertainment found themselves in troubled waters when a group named the ‘Guardians of Peace‘ hacked into the company’s computer systems and leaked headline-grabbing confidential data.
This week, the company’s music arm is said to be bracing itself after learning emails sent about some of the world’s biggest Pop stars may surface online as part of the same cyberattack.
Full story below…
Initially blamed on North Korea, the Sony leak occurred when the aforementioned ‘Guardians’ hacked into Sony systems in response to their controversial movie ‘The Interview‘, a comedy in which a US journalist is tasked with murdering the nation’s leader Kim Jong-Un.
In these emails lay insulting conversations sent by some of the company’s big wigs about the likes of Angelina Jolie, leader of the free world President Barack Obama and the comedian Kevin Hart, referred to as a “whore” by one executive.
Now, after learning the hacking may have extended to its music arm, Sony Music CEO Michael Lynton is said to have issued an apology to its acts who may soon find personal information about them leaked in a new set of scandalous emails.
Artists who may be affected by the leaks are Beyonce, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Rita Ora, Adele, One Direction, Barbra Streisand and Bruce Springsteen, allegedly warned that details on behind-the-scenes politics, recording contracts and industry-related business dealings may all become public property should the worst happen.
The Business Insider adds:
Recently leaked emails alluded to a potential “top secret” sale of music publishing division Sony/ATV. Lynton and Sony/ATV head Martin Bandier have both denied Sony Music is for sale, but Lynton reportedly “called a number of department heads within Sony, including Marty and [Sony Music CEO] Doug Morris to give a blanket apology in advance for whatever else comes out.
I want to see more racism and homophobia exposed.
The tea spilling will be REAL! Now we’ll finally find out where all the money Pink and Bey make for them goes.
I am living for this report! Beyfraud better hold onto her payola wig.
Honnnnnney! My mug is ready for the delicious tea, and I’m going to sip slooooowly.
LOL..Not a Brandy fan trying to throw shade. Not when your girls last hit album and single was in the 90’s,..Not when she sounds like she’s getting fisted, and not when she can’t pull more people in a stadium than Keri Hilson. Now girl please go have a seat, and if you can’t find one, i’m sure Brandy can find one for you.
Jessica the Human Mattress – Brandy had hits and two platinum albums during the 2000s. Her most recent hit single happened in 2012. Before you come for Brandy without a job application, know her statistics.
Lmao you Brandy fans are a joke in itself.
B**** Please, you wish Brandy was on the lips of the big wigs, ain’t anybody sipping on that brandy tonight boo boo
Why are y’all throwing Brandy in this convo anyway???
Brandy still get paid Frm s*** she did and 90s till now. Her pockets will remain fat, while u sit yo ass on your desktop tryna come for her.
Plz the struggle is real, that reach was over the top tryna involve Her when she is not involved.
Better yet involve some applications on yo whack ASD desktop, how bout that!!
Maybe we’ll find out why Usher is getting treated like he’s a lesser even though JT has NEVER SOLD as many albums as Confessions did.
If they come for Bey , I swear……
The drags will be too turnt.
What you’re going to do? Call whoever out on your Twiiter under your alias and not your real name like a real boss would? You BeyHIVe think that a name-calling tweet will make people bow down. When will you losers learn that your social media rants under aliases make people laugh at the time you waste and stop buying into Beyonce’s music?
wow you seem so pressed, you dont even have a fav, instead you dedicate your life to hating bey, thanks for the publicity boo
Beyonce: Hello Sony, can you please ask Universal to put out a new Rihanna album this year, my french manicure isn’t going to pay for itself.
LOOOOOL dying!
Yaaaaaaassssss!!! We’ll get to learn about how many of those BEYONCÉ album sales came from Jay and Matthew and how Bey’s camp plotted to destroy the careers of Brandy, Kelly, Amerie, Ashanti, Letoya, JHud, Monica and other female R&b singers. #sips
Lol please they destroyed their own careers… #basicbitches
No tea, no shade, but they did. I just need some juicy tea to come out of all this.
You’ll be disappointed…
No there’s actual proof of Mathew asking radios not to play “Torn” back in 06
ain’t no email about Rita Ora. she not important Samantha .stop trying to make her more than she is
Hi sony, it’s me Rita.
I need you to give me a bigger budget because I have lots of expenses to cover and need to slay that B**** Rihanna!
8 million should cover it.
Hi Rita. What happened to the money we gave you last year.
Hi sony, David the Barb raised his promo rates so it’s all gone.
The exposure will be EPIC.
A lot of you new stans don’t even know that Mathew sabotaged a lot of R&B girls back in the day. They’re not relevant now but he did a lot of s*** to pull them down to make Beyonce seem bigger. I love Bey but I don’t like him for doing that.
I agree, but I will say even though Matt pulled some strings to get her in the door. Beyonce made the moves and put in the work to the force is is today.
They destroyed their own careers by not having the mental strength and drive that Beyoncé has…had Brandy continued doing Movies and releasing music and touring instead of taking a long break and not get pregnant at 22 she would still be hitting platinum.
Can’t wait til all of Beyonce struggling to get an album out the door come to light, just to prove that I was right.
“Struggling” lol watch Rihbola struggle more than 300k in the first week…
Yet will sell more than the person that did 600k. Sit down and stop acting like your roach queen is Taylor Swift. Don’t forget, singles and streams count towards album sales now. Lol
Exactly. You can almost hear Rihanna sigh of relief…
the delusion, after she just stepped on rhianna’s wig with her fifth studio effort, while rhianna cant even catch up with double the albums kiiii
The “struggle” is Rihwhinna’s vocals on that new wack a*s single….
Hello Adele.
We wanted to reach out to you to thank you for your sales, we’re very grateful. We also wanted to know if you knew anything about the cupcakes that went missing at the christmas party. Katy worked very hard to make them for us and wanted everyone to try them so it’s a shame they went missing. Let us know if you have any information.
Hi Sony
You have the bloody nerve to ask me if I STOLE SOME BLOODY CUPCAKES! I PAID FOR THE TABLE THE B**** PUT THE CUPCAKES ON. I don’t know what happened to em but rest assured they’re in a better place. C****.
i didnt want to laugh but that was funny…love adele
Damn you for making me lough like this.
Omg DEAD!
Lmao stop!!!
I just took my wig off and threw it!!!
Adele: Omg Bey you won’t believe the f****** email I just got from the label. They asked about the missing cupcakes.
Beyonce: How rude! Why would they accuse you of stealing them?
Adele: I don’t know, I’m just so upset..
Beyonce: Oh hold on sis, I’m getting another call…Hello Queen Bey speaking? Yes, this is she. Yes she did, I saw her stuffing them in her black dress before she left. Erm, about 20 Yeah, take it out of her budget.
Lmao, so wrong for that. @ Hold on sis LOL
Looool!
I’m ready…..*throws popcorn in bowl*
They better spill the tea on T*********. They must tell us how many copies of self titled sony bought.. I’m ready the spillage
Dear employees
It has come to our attention that somebody has been using the company’s credit card to send fried chicken to Kelly Clarkson’s house. This is a cruel act as you know she is on a diet.
If you know who is behind this please respond to this email promptly. PS, Could Beyonce come up to the manager’s office as soon as possible please.
Dear Sony
This is the s** toy provider D*** N A B***. You recently placed an order with us but your card was declined, would you like to try another method of payment.
Dear D*** N A B***
We just checked our files and we haven’t placed an order with you.
Dear Sony
But you did. The order came from a sony computer in your offices and was for ten mandingo d***** and one Usher blowup doll. The order was made by a …Justine Timberriver. Ring a bell?
LOL I can’t.
Wow, Columbia execs probably fumed over Beyonce because she didn’t follow their rules and do exactly as they did. Hihi. Ready for the racism to be exposed like they did at Sony Pictures.
Thank god the other bands I stan for on that label are pretty irrelevant.
Beyonce: Dear Sony execs, just checking in to see if you guys have gotten hold of those unreleased C-Error demos. I need new material.
Also, are you just going to ignore my deportation requests regarding Rita? I have enough to deal with when it comes to that Donkey Kong island baboon my husband decided to support, I don’t need another one. Since when do we just let anybody rub shoulders with Barack? I had to make Demi Lovato carry my damn baby as a publicity stunt just so they’d notice me! This some bull.
Oh and P.S. – Give Michelle an internship as a janitor or something, she outta work again. I gotta go, one of daddy’s h*** is birthing again and Solange is threatening to burn down his office Lisa Lopez style.
Sincerely – King B XO
why would sony have hold of Ciara music when she was on Jive & now Epic? ;/
maybe u should worry why after diamond success ur fave can’t do over 200k
#FAIL
All these record lables boring, I dont trust these record labels I’m torn…
Ooooohhhhh! Beyonce! Will sip my tea carefully, but Sony you may spill the tea! I can’t wait to read what she says in the emails. I hope it reveal her dirty laundry lol and her dragging the beyhive and calling them low lives. *sips* anything is possible with her
Why Does Everybody Hate Rita Ora?
Quote: Spin Magazine
Rita Ora is, by all accounts, living a pop star’s life, except with one crucial exception: a pop star’s success.
(…)
As if to make up for her lack of recorded content in America, Ora’s slotted herself in a Fifty Shades of Grey cameo (wearing a truly deplorable wig), and on singles with her Billboard betters; in addition to “Doing It,” she does a “meh” job sounding authoritative on the supposed-to-be-femme-fatale hook of Iggy Azalea’s “Black Widow.” Charli broke out as a star in her own right after appearing on Azalea’s “Fancy,” but Ora’s turn on “Black Widow” has failed to make any lasting impression on her own chart viability. Now Charli, who has achieved chart success with “Boom Clap” and myriad placements on 2014’s year-end lists, has risen to leading lady status, and is lending a “Doing It” verse to Ora. At this point, it almost feels like charity.
(…)
Then, there’s the ex-boyfriend problem. In the throes of their public breakup process, Kardashian unloaded on Twitter that Ora “cheated on me with nearly 20 dudes,” while former beau Calvin Harris went out of his way to prevent her from performing their collaboration “I Will Never Let You Down” at last year’s T*** Choice Awards, and is rumored to have forbidden Roc Nation from including any of tracks he produced and wrote for her forthcoming sophomore album. Now, it would be fair to say that women get ****-shamed and barred from opportunity far too easily and often. Both offenses would have been the ideal opportunity for Ora to stand up for herself. Instead, she seemed to be comfortable playing the victim in both circumstances, offering a middling “I think people react to things differently and like to express their feelings in certain ways” to Kardashian and a boo-hoo “Guys I am so sorry. I will make it up too you” tweet about Harris.
(…)
So, what is it? Ora is ostensibly a good singer. She has a strong voice and amiable dance floor singles — what few there are, of course. She’s definitely stylish. But for all the risks she takes in the sartorial realm, Ora’s music game lacks imagination. Her songs — which borrow liberally from deceased rappers (Biggie’s patented “party and ********”) and vacuous promises to stick by her man (“I Will Never Let You Down”) are agreeable but not conversation-worthy. The “Black Widow” hook, while well done, is idiosyncrasy-free and could have been delivered by anybody (“I’m gonna show ya / What’s really crazy / You should’ve known better / Than to mess with me, honey”). It’s quite the contrast to Charli’s “Fancy” hook, as the latter’s vocals are bubbling over with sass and personality. It’s Charli — along with her cheeky Thelma and Louise-meets-Barbie video — who really makes the song.
(…)
Therin lies the problem: Ora is a mirror. Musically, she reflects anything she faces. Managers and producers can only do so much — in order to succeed, the artist must bring their own ineffable charisma.
LMFAO!!!!!!!
As long as they don’t reveal payola tricks from 1990-1997, I’m good. Lol. 🙂
Sips T!……..
This will be JUICY!!!!!!!!!!!
