I've grown so sick of rumors, outright lies, and misconceptions over the years about Color Me Badd, and particularly, their split.
I don't really talk much about what I knew/know, about them, because I feel some things are better left as a part of friendships I've had, and still have. Some things are just not for broadcast. I can't even tell you how painful it has been for me, a person who knew what was really going on most of the time, to hear the way things have been spun over the years - especially here on the internet.
I've been the owner of several popular Color Me Badd websites over the years (including a domain), and have had to close them all over drama that comes up. People feel the need to dig ancient history up quite a bit in that "fandom," let me tell you. Especially when they don't know what they're talking about. Why do people always get the most angry/jealous/petty over things that never happened? LOL! That will always continue to amuse me.
I have been called a liar, whore, and much worse, more times then I care to mention over misunderstandings, jealousy, mistaken identity, rumors, and just people being stupid.
Even something as simple as *NSYNC having opened for them (which is addressed in this article) -- I've been called a liar so many times over this one, it's not even funny. I know it happened, because I was a part of the "scene," so to speak, at the time. I didn't make it up! I didn't dream it!
This article, sent to me by my friend Gabbie, is the real deal. If you want to know anything about Color Me Badd, the music industry in general, my life in the late 1990s, or the show "Man Band," this should be read.
