Damn..Roxanne Shante exposed badly

Shyne · 09-12-2009, 08:24 PM

ya'll know this is my girl, huge fan of her music, also really looked up to her for her story of sticking it to the label and getting a PhD, but damn...if this is true then wow...

It was reported by Blender in 2008 and more extensively in a New York Daily News account in 2009, that Shanté earned her bachelor's degree from Marymount Manhattan College and her Master's and Ph.D in psychology from Cornell University, and that a quirk in her recording contract obligated Warner Music to fund her college education. However, an investigation by lawyer and journalist Ben Sheffner for Slate magazine found no evidence of Shanté's claims. She was never signed to a Warner Music label, in this case Reprise/Warner Bros. Records, which only distributed her recordings, but was under contract to the independent label Cold Chillin' Records, which the former's parent distributed 1987–1992. Records indicate that she attended only three months at Marymount Manhattan College; she never earned any degree; and she is unlicensed by New York State officials to practice psychology or similar disciplines. Shanté told Sheffner that she held a diploma and attended Cornell under a pseudonym because of problems with domestic violence, but she was unable to substantiate these claims.

The Daily News subsequently ran a five-paragraph correction stating Cornell "has now informed us that it has no record of Shanté ever attending the school," that "Warner Music Group now claims it never had a contract with Shanté—only a distribution agreement with her label," and that "after refusing to return numerous calls and e-mails during the preparation of this article, Marymount now states that Shanté attended the college for less than one semester."

read this on a few sites then checked Wiki, cant believe this shit, she just lost a lot of points from me if this is true
