WHEN MONEY CALLS -THE NEW TEAM LIL HOT IS FORMED

IT'S BEEN A WHIRLWIND OF EVENTS SINCE THE ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MADE REGARDING THE SIGNING OF LIL HOT DA MONEY MAN ( @THEREALLILHOT ) AND MONEY BY DA POUND RECORDS,  CREATING A COLLABORATION OF THE LABELS ( NEW MONEY ENT  (WHERE LIL HOT IS THE CEO) AND MONEY BY DA POUND RECORDS).  The Memphis Based label (MBP) has been in close contact during the deal, and Lil Hot has been traveling back and forth from LA to Memphis to his home based Atlanta. And his original team has been in tow.
On 9/26/10, Lil Hot sent out a tweet to followers:

@TheRealLilHot LIL HOT

LIL HOT @TheRealLilhot is HAVING a PRIVATE TWITTER NETWORKING Gathering 2nite @ a DISCLOSED LOCATION...IF u don't get A DM u are not Invited

As many followers anxiously awaited a DM from the Atlanta based rapper, on a few were privilaged enough to get the invite. Even though that did receive the invite had no idea what the gathering would entail. No hints of attire, subject, or contact info was givin: only a hotel location with the instructions that once you arrived at the location, you were to call and someone would come to the lobby to get you.

The gathering turned out to be a mixer between the execs and artists from Money By Da Pound Records and execs and artists from New Money Ent, as well as special invitees from Lil Hot himself.  Towards the end of the mixer, Lil Hot got everyone's attention (sporting his new MBP Records Chain) and had the room to come to order so that business could begin.

He first had the attendees to gather around, the New Money and Money By Da Pound execs situated at the front of the room.  He instructed everyone to introduce themselves (who they were and what they did).  The execs did the same.  And then the reason for the gathering was revealed.  Lil Hot explained that he wanted his new team to meet the people that had been with him and who had shown true loyalty and support...and that these were the people that he would be hiring as his official staff.  As he called each staff member (some new, some old) to the center of the room, he had them give more formal details of what exactly they did, and he basically offered them the position (whatever that was). No one refused his offers.  Everyone was indeed shocked, because it was never revealed that by attending this gathering, key players there had made the final cut. Among the positions given were Publicist, Model Firm, Camera Man, Videographer, Tour DJ, Marketing & Promotions, Street Team, and a few others.

And, of course, other invitees were in attendance, those whom Lil Hot wanted to share in his celebration-the ones who are considered close friends and network partners.  Select Media was also in attendance.

You will see a lot of new and old faces for the new #TeamLilHot .  For those who are on the new #TeamLilHot staff (including Da Publicist @AtticaLundy and @CelebStatus_PR , PBrown @StreetTalkCEO , DJ @Swampizzo , @BagBoiPromo , Peaches (Irma Thompson, Manager of #EAModels) @SandyBeach63 , Cake @EatTheCake , and a few others) the invite was worth accepting. For those who were invited and chose not to attend, an opportunity was missed but there were no hard feelings. This was just one of those occasions where if "you snooze,you lose".  Lil Hot tweeted after the event was over:

TheRealLilHot LIL HOT

If I reached out to u today and you MISSED The meeting..... Remember I did my part #MovingOn

And he did...he reached out to those who he felt worthy of extending an official job that came with a budget (PAID EMPLOYMENT) and it was one of those times where you had to be there in order to "get the gig".  For some time now, he's been tweeting "I got options".  Now we know what that means.

#Salute to the NEW New Money Ent "family" and Money By Da Pound Records, and an extra special #BOSS #SALUTE to the man who made it possible, LIL HOT DA MONEY MAN ( @TheRealLilHot ), the label that pays me.

BISHOP EDDIE LONG SCANDAL-NEWS FROM NEW BIRTH

BISHOP EDDIE LONG DIDN'T SKIP A BEAT, THOUGH THE MEDIA FRENZY HAS BEEN ROUGH ON HIM SINCE THE SCANDAL ALLEGING THAT HE INAPPROPRIATELY TOUCHED "BOYS".  The this is a rough period for Bishop Eddie Long, he still held services at his church, and said that he will continue to do so.

He addressed his congregation, and also the world.  "As a pastor to make this statement, I want to help everybody".  He addressed his "sons and daughters", which consist of other pastors that he's touched the lives of. "This is one of the most difficult moments of my life". He talked about how to handle "Painful and Difficult situations".  His statements were made with the most elegant, humble, and even humors of words, and he handled it well.

This video is of his statements today. The 1st really begins addressing it at the 4:47 marker (go ahead and fast forward if you want).



Part two gets to the point, really.



This is an unfortunate turn of events for Bishop Long. With the Media going haywire on this, it's distracting from what Bishop Long's mission is: and that is to spread the word, to minister, and to assist those in need. All jokes aside, he has been very instrumental in many lives. I hope this doesn't get as bad as the Michael Jackson attacks. Remember, it wasn't until after he died that someone came forth and actually proved his innocence. A scandal like this could dis destroy anyone's faith...and that would be such a tragedy.

Let me make clear that in no way do I promote sexual abuse. However, I am neither judge nor jury. It is my hope that none of the allegations are true though. In the meantime, we'll just have to see how all of this plays out.

Oh, and LuvBugs...the twitter ID @BishopEddieLong is a fake one, so don't believe the hype.

THIS IS WHY THEY CALL HIM DA MONEY MAN

When Lil Hot finished recording his new hit, CASH feel from the ceiling into his and on the board! Crisp $20's, $50'S, and $100's. He's Lil Hot Da Money Man.

ATLANTA BASED RAPPER LIL HOT DA MONEY MAN HAS BEEN DOING IT BIG IN LOS ANGELES THIS PAST FEW DAYS.  He arrived in LA late Tuesday evening, and immediately began working on new compilation projects, and took some meetings. The same thing went on today.  It doesn't end!

He's working full time now in the New Money Ent EMPIRE, having just signed a deal with MONEY BY DA POUND RECORDS, enlarging the already growing independent label, where his is the CEO.  "This is no vacation-but we will do that, too, very soon. This is work. Anybody that knows me knows I'm one of the hardest workers out there, and I expect my team to be too. " And they are. 

 Hot has a strong team that goes hard on the New Money Ent movement. And everybody see's this.  Several labels in the past have approached Hot about signing, but up until now their terms just didn't fit into what his vision for his label and his career were.  Finally he's found what he's been looking for; MONEY BY DA POUND RECORDS.  It just makes sense for DA MONEY MAN to be tied in with MONEY BY DA POUND, lol.  And the proof is where you can see it. 

I'll keep you posted, Luv Bugs, because this is the hottest (no pun intended) story poppin' out of the ATL. ~~Holla~~~

LYFE JENNINGS SENTENCED TO BECOMING ANOTHER STATISTIC

THE ANNOUNCEMENT CAME IN TODAY THAT R&B SENSATION LYFE JENNINGS GOT SENTENCED TO THREE YEARS AND A HALF YEARS IN PRISON FOR A PAST ALTERCATION WITH HIS EX GIRLFRIEND. The altercation came about in 2008, ending up in gunfire and a high speed car chase, among other things that occurred. The sentencing came about on the same year (2010) that his album "Statistics" was released. Unfortunately, Lyfe has become another statistic :(

He sent out a tweet today:

"This will be my last post," Jennings wrote. "To everyone who gave me a chance I am forever in your debt. I have had a fabulous career because of you. All I can say in parting is that I have been honest. I didn't sugarcoat a word didn't hold back a single [part] of my life from [you]. I've lived a hundred lives in these 6 yrs so I not only won't, I don't have the right to complain. I would like to think that I've changed lives by changing my own, tho I can't be sure. But one thing I am sure of is God gives and takes away in measure. He is fair, just and forever."

Check out the video for "Statistics".

LIL HOT DA MONEY MAN MEETS ONE OF HIS LIL FANS

I got a text on Sept 18, 2010 from Lil Hot Da Money Man for his publicists to meet him at V-103, the people's station in Atlanta, GA. Celeb Status PR Co-Ceo Memory Martin and I went to meet him and the New Money Entertainment group.

Lil Bankhead met us at the door and took us upstairs, and when Lil Hot came in, in true LIL HOT fashion, the radio show turned into the "Lil Hot Show". His songs were broken on the spot, and it was a great big party.

But that's another story. The story here is about one of Lil Hot's biggest "littlest"  fans....little Chase Sabari, an 8 year old boy who recognized Lil Hot outside of Colony Square. He immediately pointed out Lil Hot, and his excitement led to him scoring a picture with one of his favorite rappers.

Chase was out with his mom, Mrs. Shondia Sabari, on a "Mommy and Son Weekend" when they happened upon Lil Hot and the entire New Money Ent crew, The Celeb Status PR team of publicists, and Money By Da Pound Records. They'd spent the weekend relaxing at the W Hotel, ate succi at Shout, and had a day at Dave And Busters.  Chase, an exceptionally talented 8 year old is in the third grade and reads on middle school level. He is very cultured and is in US KIDS GOLF (and a HUGE Tiger Woods fan).  He also has mastered amateur music production! He's an exceptional kid.

He first learned of Lil Hot from his cousin who lives in South Carolina. His cousin follows the underground rap scene and the music of Independent Greats- Lil Hot Da Money Man being one of his favorites. Chase had seen Lil Hot once before in passing at Lenox Mall, but never got the opportunity to meet him face to face up until this point.

In addition to taking pics with Lil Hot, the two exchanged words.  Lil Hot advised Chase to stay in school and to do his best, and guess what Chase advised Lil Hot???  "Yes, Sir, I will, and you stay on your grind".  Mrs. Sabari later told me that Chase asked her, "Mommy, I know that I'll stay in school and do my best like Lil Hot told me. Do you think he'll take my advice and stay on his grind?". She responded, "Of course he will. He's Lil Hot Da Money Man".  #Priceless

Per request, Celeb Status PR will provide "Lil Chase" a CD with all LIL HOT "CLEAN" versions of his songs and autographed materials for Chase to keep.  In addition to that, Lil Hot plans on taking time out of his schedule to give little Chase a tour of New Money Entertainment studios and to show Chase how to work the equipment in a real studio, a wish that Chase has had for some time now.  Be on the lookout...New Money Ent may just have found their youngest producer yet!

SPECIAL THANKS TO MRS. SHONDIA SABARI FOR PERMISSION TO POST THIS MATERIAL.
