Brandy recounts her clash with YE and Atlantic Records over her album ‘Afrodisiac’:

“Without consulting me, they had offered Kanye two placements on my album, with the added condition that one of his records would be the lead single. They would also give him free rein to create the video treatment for that single. The album was otherwise complete, and I was still hot over having to compromise my creative vision by bringing in another producer at the eleventh hour. But I made the concession and played the team game. The records came out dope — no denying that. But our disagreement over which version of 'Where You Wanna Be' would make the final cut became a power struggle. And I didn't understand why Kanye was fighting me on it. I just wanted a different mix of the vocals. We went back and forth for days, and I refused to make another concession, especially not about how my voice was presented. He barely looked up from the soundboard. ‘Nah, I can't do that.’ His eyes met mine, unflinching, a challenge in their depths: ‘I can't because I turned it in already.’ [I asked what he meant by that]. He shrugged, turning back to his work as though this conversation was already over. ‘You'll be aight,’ he said with a smug grin that set my teeth on edge. That may sound like a minor disagreement to someone on the outside looking in. But to me, it represented a stripping away of my agency on a deeply personal project. But I couldn't afford to be upset or angry. I still had a video to shoot and a record to promote with Kanye. I'd also promised [Atlantic executive Gee Roberson] that I would return the favor and do a record on Kanye's sophomore album, ‘Late Registration’. So, I swallowed my pride along with the lump in my throat, forced a smile that didn't reach my eyes, and nodded like this was all part of the process.”

@danjoanei Hater livet noen timer mer enn planlagt?

@Ed_Miliband So that would mean that, not counting all the other huge losses and expenses they've added to the bill, they've also added an annual cost of £575,000 (5x £115,000) just as a "Thank you for being our prime minister" and doing a shit job...

@JROlsen77 Har prøvd, men det var en kamp jeg ikke kunne vinne. Jeg tar de små seirene jeg kan og er fornøyd med det

@JROlsen77 Skulle bare 5 år med masing, Brexit og en pandemi til for å få gjennomslag

@JROlsen77 Må være savnet etter regn, kulde og bitende nordavind som gjør det

Why did nobody tell me about the show "Jean Claude Van Johnson"?? I'm pissing myself here

[Chris @CaFinden]

It goes with the story that when asking to escalate it to speak to a line manager we got told to give them our details and we would be contacted within 24-48 hours...totally horrible service by @curryspcworld from the start

[Chris @CaFinden]

So we've been waiting for 2 weeks to have our newly purchased (and broken) cooker replaced by @curryspcworld, unable to cook for our kids of 2 and 4 years. Still no further on any confirmation on when or even if its been processed and being fobbed off by "customer service"...

[Chris @CaFinden]

Is this a normal procedure by @curryspcworld? Whats the legality of this and our rights? Any chance @MartinSLewis or his team can advice?

[Chris @CaFinden]

@daraobriain My guess is that it will be a throwaway line played for laughs like "What do you want me to do? Hide in a box?". You heard it here first!

[Chris @CaFinden]

@DaveBautista Sorry, I do like you Mr. Bautista sir, but I do think I have to correct you...You misspelled it, its a "Downward shart"

[Chris @CaFinden]

If there is one positive thing I can take from this year of covid, its the fact that I no longer need to worry about padding my Santa outfit this year...

[Chris @CaFinden]

@PuffaJones How do we contact you for delivery or pick up?
