Music World on Its Last Legs?


Back in December Cathy Hughes imposed a Radio One ban on Mathew Knowles and all Music World artists after Mathew pulled a jack move and sold footage from the Essence Music Festival to BET even though Cathy Hughes and TVOne owned exclusive rights to air the music festival [click here if you missed that].

Welp, word around the Internets is the ban has hit Mathew pretty hard and now he's looking to unload Music World...

According to Jawn Murray at Always A List, most of Mathew's gospel artists are following Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, Solange and Michelle Williams out the door and Mathew is trying to sell the label.

Jawn also spilled a little tea on how Mathew dogged his artists Trin-I-tee 5:7 at the BET Awards.

Apparently Trin-I-tee, who were nominated for a BET Best Gospel Artist Award, had a hard time getting into the award show because Mathew used their tickets at the last minute without telling them and there was a big scene because they had to beg to get in!
