WOW! So R&B singer Joe revealed some juicy scoop on his situation at Jive Records and his label mate R. Kelly. Joe has been with Jive for the past 11 years but never was as successful as he should have been even after six album. He recently decided to branch off and go the independent route as most artist do if they don’t make it “big” under an established label.
Joe said after he left Jive, he found out why he never really progressed while signed to the label that launched the success of Alicia Keys, Britney Spears, his label mate R. Kelly & much more. The reason he says…R. Kelly himself! Joe tells EUR’s Lee Baily in an x-clusive interview that R. Kelly put pressure on Jive executives and radio stations to fall back on promoting Joe’s records especially when his single’s got to much attention.
“R. Kelly was very instrumental in making a lot of decisions when it came to my records being played on the radio,” Joe revealed. “He would make a call to the radio station or to the label and say, ‘Hey, this Joe record is too hot right now. Yall need to pull that back.’ And they would oblige.”
