Stevie J. & K-Ci Had BRUTAL FIGHT After HORRIFIC Thing Was Done To Missy Elliott

Although things are cool between Missy Elliott and Devante’ Swing these days, according to what hit producer/”Love & Hip Hop” star, Stevie J., revealed…it was NOT always that way.

Stevie J. dropped some massive bombshells about his time working with Devante Swing’s then Swing Mob artists, Missy Elliot, Jodeci, Ginuwine, Tweet, Timbaland, and others in the 90’s. Stevie was working with Devante on production, but he says their killer producer-combo came to a screeching halt one day in a Rochester, NY studio. In his interview with Drink Champs, Stevie said that one day they were all in the studio- himself, Missy Elliot, Timbaland, Ginuwine, Jodeci, and others- when Devante Swing walked in with his cousin, bodyguards, and two pitbulls on a leash – like some straight ‘Nino Brown’ type of stuff. What reportedly happened next shocked the hell outta him.

According to Stevie, Devante walked up to each of his artists and started smacking them. Stevie said he watched Devante smack Missy Elliott really hard in the face, then Ginuwine, Timbaland, and so on! Then he said Devante’s cousin went behind him and smacked them again, while they all stood there and did nothing!

Stevie J. also said that Devante knew not to try that with him, but apparently Devante’s cousin didn’t get that memo. So according to Stevie, the cousin walked up to him like he wanted to deliver a smack down and Stevie was like ‘You better not put your hands on me potna’…

Stevie says he and Devante’s cousin started arguing and that’s when K-Ci (of Jodeci) jumped in. According to Stevie, he then started trading blows with K-Ci, Devante’s cousin, and Devante’s bodyguard all at the same damn time! The fight got so vicious, that Stevie said somebody hit him over the head with a bottle and that he still has the scar over his eye to prove it.

Missy, Ginuwine & Timbaland Left Devante’s Label, Thanks To Stevie J.

As soon as the fight was over, Stevie recalled telling Ginuwine, Missy, Timbaland that they were stupid if they stayed with Devante’s label and continue to let Devante treat them like that. Stevie’s words must have affected them, because he said soon after he told them that, they all left Devante’s label and started their own thing. See what else Stevie J. said about that fiasco in the video up top (graphic language).

Stevie J. dropped some massive bombshells about his time working with producer/singer, Devante Swing’s (of Jodeci), then Swing Mob artists: Missy Elliot, Jodeci, Ginuwine, Tweet, Timbaland, and others. In case y’all haven’t heard by now, Stevie J. is a dope producer, one of the best in the game. Throughout his career, his work has contributed to the sales of 100 million records sold and 5 Grammys.

In the ’90s, before Missy Elliot and the rest of Devante’s artists went solo, Stevie J was working with Devante on production. But he says their killer producer-combo came to a screeching halt one day in a Rochester, NY studio. In a 2017 interview with Drink Champs, Stevie J detailed what went down that day, and why he says he ended up having a brutal fist fight with three dudes, stating “I had a fight with Jodeci.”

Word on the Old School curb is that only one Jodeci member –reportedly K-Ci Hailey– threw hands during the fight. And according to Stevie J, the other 2 brawlers were Devante’s cousin and bodyguard. However, Stevie’s not sure if Devante actually took a swing at him during the brawl, because he said it was mayhem and that punches were coming from every direction.

According to Stevie J.- or as his baby momma, Joseline Hernandez, refers to him, ‘Steebie’- Devante Swing was a close friend to Suge Knight when Death Row was poppin.’ But apparently, Devante tried to mimic Suge Knight’s known style of ‘managing’ his artists…at least that’s what Stevie described. [Watch his full interview at bottom of page]

Stevie J. On What He Saw Devante’ Swing Do To Missy, Ginuwine, & Timbaland

Stevie said that one day they were all in the N.Y. based studio –himself, Missy Elliot, Timbaland, Ginuwine, Jodeci, and others– when Devante Swing walked in with his cousin, bodyguards, and two pitbulls on a leash, like some straight “Nino Brown” type of stuff. At that point, Stevie said what happened next shocked the hell outta him…

According to Stevie, Devante walked up to each of his artists and started aggressively smacking them, one by one. Stevie said he watched Devante smack Missy Elliott really hard in the face, then Ginuwine, Timbaland, and so on! Then he said Devante’s cousin went behind him and smacked them again, while they each stood there and did nothing.

What in the “New Jack City” hell was happening there?!! Anyways, Stevie had more to say…here is where the mayhem broke out…

Fight Erupts…

Stevie J. also said that Devante knew not to try that with him, but apparently Devante’s cousin didn’t get that memo. So according to Stevie, the cousin walked up to him like he wanted to deliver a smack down and Stevie was like, ‘You better not put your hands on me potna’…

Stevie and Devante’s cousin started arguing…that’s when the two others (allegedly K-Ci and Devante’s bodyguard) jumped in. Stevie says he started trading blows with all three of them at the same damn time! The fight got so vicious that Stevie said someone hit him over the head with a bottle, and that he still has the scar over his eye to prove it. There’s more…

Missy, Ginuwine, Timbaland & Others Left Devante’s Label Thanks To Stevie J.

As soon as the fight was over, Stevie J told Ginuwine, Missy, and Timbaland that they were ‘stupid’ if they stayed with Devante’s label and continued to let him mistreat them like that. Stevie’s words must have affected them, because he said soon after that talk, they all left Devante’s label and started their own thing.

Well I’ll be damned! It sure would be interesting to hear Devante’s side, or at least his former artists’ version of the story. That was some foul stuff right there!

Melissa “Missy” Elliott is shining extra bright this year. Here’s another accolade to add to her extensive, decades-long resumé. The Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Missy Elliott has put in serious work since she drilled her way into the industry. Nothing was given to her. And always three steps ahead, Missy continues to be an innovator in the field. This was recently recognized by Berklee College of Music, upon acceptance of her honorary doctorate.

Now in another presentation, the Songwriters Hall of Fame welcomes Elliott as its 2019 selection. According to NBC 4, Queen Latifah inducted her after a grand introduction. But this wasn’t before former First Lady Michelle Obama gave lasting words regarding the musical artist.

Although she couldn’t be there, Lady Obama sent video of her congratulations, and it aired during the ceremony. Reportedly, she mentioned as follows:

“Missy, I want to thank you for all of your trailblazing ways. Thank you not for just sharing your gift with the world, but for being an advocate for so many people out there, especially young girls who are still figuring out how to make their voices heard.”

Missy Elliott Accepted Her Honor With Tears In Her Eyes>>>

The post Songwriters Hall Of Fame Inducts Missy Elliott [Video] appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

Missy Elliott — excuse us, Dr. Missy Elliott — has been a pioneer in multiple music genres ever since BEFORE her days with Timbaland. Now, she’s honored for it.

Elliott has endured the test of time regarding the music industry, and she’s produced some of the biggest names in the game — including herself.

And talk about a hell of a comeback when she bounced on the social media scene a few years ago…

“Sometimes you may feel like giving up because you work so d**n hard and you still not in the place you want to be…” Missy Elliott mentions during an inspirational post.

“…If its Mentally/Financially/Job/ or whatever … even if it feel like its a long time, DO NOT LOSE THE FAITH! Speak it into EXISTENCE! Most of the time, it don’t happen over night, but if you keep BELIEVING & SPEAKING it, something good will most likely come out it ‼️💯”

Executive produced by non-other than “Ms. U.N.I.T.Y.” Queen Latifah herself and her Flavor Unit Production Company.

The Salt-N-Pepa miniseries traverses the lives of Cheryl “Salt” James and Sandra “Pepa” Denton, as they go from nursing school students to entering the world of hip-hop and rap and their rise and successes, which includes becoming the first female rap act to go platinum. The miniseries will feature a slew of their hits, including “Let’s Talk About Sex,” “What a Man,” “Shoop” and “Push It,” among others. James and Denton will serve as executive producers alongside Jesse Collins, and Flavor Unit’s Queen Latifah and Shakim Compere.
