Old Slaves: Entertainers Who Signed Bad Record Deals
En Vogue
R&B Diva Dawn Robinson has taken a lot of heat for the (multiple) breakups of En Vogue. But Dawn says the group’s issues were less about her and more about the slave contracts that robbed them of their money for years. During an interview with Essence Magazine in 2009, she explained that the record deals were written in “Old English” and were very hard to understand. Although the women had legal counsel they didn’t know the “right questions to ask.”
