Always A List claims K Michelle may have burned bridges with TV One after she didn’t show up for recent promotional events for her latest studio album, “More Issues Than Vogue.”
Always A List writes:
The Memphis-bred artist—whose birth name is Kimberly Michelle Pate—has a big issue now in real life because the broadcast conglomerate Radio One owned by media mogul Cathy Hughes has issued a mandate across all stations to yank her music from their playlists.
Several Radio One executives spoke to AlwaysAList.com and confirmed that you will no longer hear any songs by K.Michelle—past, present or any artist that features her on a collaboration—due to her bailing on several Radio One promotional events while she was in the Washington, DC earlier this month.
Apparently, Radio One’s WKYS 93.9 FM’s new morning show, “The FAM with Lil’ Mo and DJ QuickSilva” was hosting a fan breakfast for 50 fans of K.Michelle that was going to be broadcast on the air. Because the event was scheduled to take place on April 1, the co-hosts—Lil’ Mo, DJ QuickSilva and Britt Waters—and the 50 fans that gathered at the studio thought it was an April Fools prank when they were told that the “Love & Hip Hop” star decided to no-show.
Reps for the 32-year-old singer told Radio One that she wanted to stay a Ritz Carlton Hotel in Washington, DC the night before the appearance, but because the property was sold out she had to stay in the nearby city of Baltimore, Maryland.
Supposedly, K.Michelle did not want to wake up early and make the hour-long commute to Silver Spring, Maryland where the WKYS studios are based “because she wanted to sleep,” her rep also told the Radio One team.
There was one K.Michelle fan in attendance that revealed that she had decided to skip her chemotherapy treatment that morning for a chance to meet the singer. She was devastated the booty-enhanced belter was so dismissive of her supporters.
More Issues Than VogueAs a result of the decision, Radio One’s top brass made the call to pull all of K.Michelle’s music on all of their 55 broadcast stations in 16 markets across the country.
K hasn’t responded to the report as of yet.
Wasn’t she just crying about how a lot of radio stations pay her dust? I don’t understand this woman sometimes.
Exactly. At least she knows she’s sabatoging herself. Some of these celebs don’t even realize they’re doing it.
Really K?
She really needs to be more professional. Sometimes you have to work when you don’t feel like it.
She really needs to get it together.
This is why it’s hard to feel bad for her when people come for her sometimes. She could have at least showed up for her fans.
She better get a clue. This was a bridge that didn’t even have to be burned. Before LHHATL, she was wishing and praying for these opportunities. She better humble herself.
You can’t do fans like this. Someone said on here not too long ago but I’m starting to wonder if K is depressed and over doing music. She’s been crying a lot in interviews lately and she seems like she’s at a breaking point. No matter how she may be feeling, her fans deserve better.
lmao K is all out of f-cks to give
And she really shouldn’t be because it’s not like she’s made it yet!
She’s not going to start doing better for herself until she wants to. When you’re in the music business and have fans who want to see you, you have to push through whatever you’re feeling and do it. People always talk about there only being so little black women in the forefront of music, but the truth is the ones in the mainstream work really hard to be there. They know they can’t just wake up and refuse to make it to a meeting or tour for the fans. It’s part of the job. K sounds lazy.
Why would her publicist say she isn’t going to make it because she wanted to sleep in? His butt should be fired- at least say she’s sick or family emergency, then tweet and apology on twitter to her fans…. I swear, this is just common sense 101.
*issue an apology
I have no sympathy whatsoever for this broad. She’s ridiculous. She had one damn job to do.
Mess. Why did she do this? There’s many times when I don’t feel like going to work either but you do what you gotta do. I hope she makes this up to her fans.
Damn K! I’m a fan but even I can’t defend this one. Smdh
This has to be some bs!! I hope for her sake this is not the case smh!
