In the music world, Teddy Riley is celebrated for his groundbreaking contributions as a producer and artist. He was a key figure in the “New Jack Swing” movement, revolutionizing R&B and hip-hop in the late ’80s and early ’90s. With hits like “No Diggity” by Blackstreet and “Rump Shaker” by Wreckx-N-Effect, Teddy Riley’s influence on the music game is indelible.

Well, well, well, we learn something new ’round these parts everyday and today is most definitely one of those days. So, most of us Old Schoolers remember Teddy Riley’s group, Wreckx N’ Effect, right? Thought so, and that also means that you remember their classic video for their 1992 hit song, “Rump Shaker.” The music video was shot on a beach somewhere and it was like a wild party, with fine ladies in swimsuits, that made you feel like you were watching a scene fresh outta Atlanta’s Freaknick spring break back in the day.

There were a few video models who stood out in that video more than others, and one of them just so happens to now be the wife of a multiplatinum selling R&B legend. She’s the young lady who was fake-playing the saxophone intro in the video and out of all the women, she had the biggest spotlight shined on her because she had the scene all to herself. The other ladies had to share their camera time.

The reason this is a tad bit surprising is because when you think of her today, she just seems like the wholesome mother type- still beautiful- but just more soccer mom, instead of sex-symbol-bikini-clad-chick-at-the-party type. So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, see whose wife is the saxophone “Rump Shaker” below…

The “Rump Shaker” Video Model Is The Wife Of…

Bam! Bobby Brown’s wife, Alicia Etheredge, is the ‘rump shaker!’ Who would’ve thought it?!!

Although Alicia’s still a nice looking woman, her video model days are long behind her, because instead she chose to work behind the scenes of the music industry and has done so for many years now. In fact, there are several fun facts many may not know about the woman Bobby B. married after his divorce from the beloved Whitney Houston. See them below…

1. Bobby & Alicia Met Long Before He Married Whitney Houston:

Although Bobby and Alicia didn’t marry until 2012 and had three kids together later in life, they met a long time ago See what Bobby revealed…

Via Access Hollywood: “We met many years ago, many years ago,” Bobby explained. “I believe I was about 18, and we were at a dance place, where people just go and work out their new moves … I met her there, and we became friends, we all hung out. Then I ended up getting married, and after me getting divorced, for some strange reason, I saw her again and sparks flew.”

2. Alicia is An Identical Twin

3. Alicia Is Bobby’s Manager & Worked With Many Other Top Celebs:

Alicia became Bobby’s manager in 2008, the following year after he and Whitney divorced. According to People, Alicia admitted that her role as manager/wife to Bobby has it’s downside at times: “Yes, there is always conflict at times that arises … and I think it’s just when the two overlap.” But overall she wouldn’t change a thing about it.
Bobby also stated that “She’s worked with Macy Gray and Magic Johnson and people like that…she’s just a brilliant lady.”

4. Bobby Says Alicia Helped Get His Passion Back:

Via People: Bobby credits a big part of his life transformation to Alicia. In a 2011 People Magazine interview, he said Alicia helped him regain “his passion back for music, for loving myself. I’m a better person, so I can be a better partner and father,” he said, adding, “She makes me want to live.”

Music legend, Teddy Riley, done had it up to HERE with the mother of one of his children…and now he’s speaking out.

The New Jack Swing hitmaker took to social media to put his son’s mother on full blast the other day. Why? Because he says she’s been refusing to let him see his seed. As in, he actually wants to be a father to his child…not just a bank, or sperm donor, apparently.

Anywho, as y’all may know…Teddy has eight children, ranging from ages 10 to 30-something, and he’s been consistently co-parenting all of them. However, it’s the mother of his youngest baby, he’s currently going through it with, it seems.

Teddy shared a video collage (below) of he and his son on July 17, 2022 (his son’s birthday), along with the following lengthy caption:

A post shared by Teddy Riley (@teddyriley1)

“This is probably one of the saddest days of my life. It’s my baby son‘s birthday today and I haven’t seen him in three years plus. I’ve done everything that I’m supposed to do as a father financially & mentally but because this woman have process evil way, I have to deal with the corrupted government ATL system just to see my son but that will all change. Thank God I’m a AMERICAN NATIONAL citizen and my day will come to be with my son for the rest of his life and mine. I’m being patient for that day, and when it comes I shall celebrate, because he deserves to live a great life as a Prince of a King!

Please help me wish my babyboy “Prince Mykal Theo Riley” a Happy Birthday!!!! I love you to pieces and the battle “Ain’t Over”. #BirthdayBoy #HappyBirthday #PRINCE #legacy #globalcommunicationentertainment

Teddy then encouraged all fathers who are following him on Instagram, to seek legal help if they are going through the same thing as he says he is with his baby moms. He wrote, “Time for the Bullish to stop and father to be with their children!!!!!

Typically, we hear about ‘deadbeat dads’ in the media, but Teddy Riley’s latest reveal sheds a spotlight on the many fathers out there who are — or are trying to be — real daddy’s to their kids. As far as we know, the mother of Teddy’s youngest son hasn’t yet spoken publicly on this matter. Hopefully, with whatever issues she and Teddy may be going through will amicably be resolved in due time. Best wishes to them all.

For years, most Guy fans have known about the on-again-off-again tension between members, Teddy Riley, Aaron Hall and Damon Hall…but we never knew the TRUE reason behind their breakup. In recent years, Teddy has now given the real reason in an interview with “The Breakfast Club.” And it all dates back to a very tragic incident that went down back in the day, involving New Edition.

The Deadly Tragedy That Led To Their Breakup

Teddy Riley: “Guy broke up because my best friend was killed. And the situation we had with New Edition in 1989…it started in North Carolina. It was a situation where New Edition walked on our stage while we were singing “Piece of My Love.” … We didn’t know what was going on.

So, when they walked on the stage we were just dumbfounded. All we heard was like, ‘Yo, don’t hold me back! Yo, what’s up Ted?!!’

Now, how that happened, [was] it started from there and it went to Pittsburgh.”

The tension between Guy and N.E. was never between the actual singers:

“It was never no actual beef with the principals, it was in the backline. One of my guys kicked their…tech guy 10 feet off the stage. … He did it because that particular day, New Edition was supposed to go on before us, but they were late.”

According to Teddy, promoter, Al Hayman; and label exec, Gene Griffin, decided which nights each group would alternate being the closing act:

“So that was the day that New Edition was supposed to go on first. When all this happened, it continued in Pittsburgh.”

By the time Guy arrived into Pittsburgh – hours after their crew –  Teddy was hit news that his best friend had just been shot FOUR times:

“When we drove into Pittsburgh, it was all on the news: ‘Guy by the name of Anthony B. from Harlem, NY, dies in the revolving door of the Marriott Hotel. And the guy that shot him was a pro because he didn’t miss, not one shot. […] “[Shot] four times through the heart, through the back. … It took him out right away.

And this guy, my best friend, he was my confidante, like, he did everything; he was the big homie. He was the one that kept me off the streets, after I got busted [for selling drugs back in the day]. … He was just my guy! … He just wanted to get outta the streets and I was the guy to help him,” Teddy said somberly. “He had groups, he wanted to get into the music business and I said ‘This is good, I’ll help you,’ because he helped me. With keyboards, if I needed something, he’d buy it and he wouldn’t even tell me, he’d just show up.”

“Nobody Came To The Funeral”

The final straw for Teddy was when “nobody” — including Aaron and Damon Hall — attended Anthony’s funeral.

“So, with someone like that I’d loss..I just said, ‘Ya know, no one cares, but I do.’ I went to the funeral, nobody came to the funeral.”

Teddy stated that his final decision to quit Guy transpired because when his best friend was murdered by N.E.’s crew, “they weren’t there for me.”

Michael Jackson Helped Teddy

Michael Jackson instantly sparked Teddy’s solo career:

“Michael Jackson called. … I asked Q-Tip if I could use his [studio] room to make music for Michael. I didn’t tell Michael I was quitting the group. We [Guy] had a show at the Madison Square Garden and that was my last show with Guy, 1990.”

Days later, Teddy flew to MJ’s location to create one the greatest musical masterpieces ever – MJ’s 1991 Dangerous album, which has sold over 32 million albums worldwide.

Reunited…

Guy’s breakup left a bad taste in Aaron Hall’s mouth, as he watched his former homie soar to new heights as a hit-making producer. Aaron’s disdain for Teddy Riley eventually spilled over into interviews and such. However, in recent years, Teddy, Damon, and Aaron reunited, letting bygones be bygones.

Teddy Riley recently did an interview where he revealed some very interesting secrets not just about his friend, Michael Jackson, but about a popular actress he dated on the low. This actress was who Teddy wrote some of MJ’s biggest “Dangerous” album hits about and she inspired those timeless Guy love songs as well. See who…

MJ’S LOVE SONGS WAS ABOUT THE ACTRESS TEDDY WAS IN LOVE WITH

We would have never put these two together, because they were never seen in public together, but check out who the actress is behind some of our favorite 90s love songs…

Teddy revealed that actress/director, Salli Richardson (best known for the 90’s film, “Low Down Dirty Shame” starring Keenan Ivory Wayans and Jada Pinkett-Smith)) is the woman he was head over hills in love with back in the day and that she was the inspiration for many hits. They dated for about one year (in the early 90’s) and remained friends for a while after that.

During a 2016 interview, when Teddy was asked if any of his “Dangerous” album songs were about Salli, he replied:

“Are you kidding? ‘Do You Remember the time when we fell in love,’ ‘I Can’t Let Her Get Away,’ ‘She Drives Me Wild’…do you see how I’m cutting you off?!! SHE was my INSPIRATION!”

Salli was in the studio with Teddy everyday as he wrote and produced MJ’s records. Teddy said everything he was saying in those records, he was saying about her because that’s how he felt about her then. In another interview, he also said that “Let’s Chill” and several other Guy love songs at that time were all about Salli. Damn Salli had Teddy wide open, LOL! Check out the video below, he starts talking about Salli at the 6 minute mark…

On Jamie Foxx’s ‘The Foxxhole’ Sirius XM radio show, Jamie asked Teddy ‘If he’d ever taken any other celebrity’s woman’ Teddy then revealed he how he actually stole Salli so to speak…

Teddy went into detail on Jamie Foxx’s show about the day he first met Salli Richardson at a club and stole her from Jermaine Jackson! Ain’t that something? Obviously the fact that Teddy took his big brother’s woman didn’t bother MJ, because soon afterwards he called Teddy to work on that “Dangerous” album, LOL. And the rest is history. You gotta hear Teddy tell Jamie the story in the video below though, it’s hilarious (starts around the 1:00 mark)…

During that time when Teddy and MJ were working on the “Dangerous” album, Teddy lived at MJ’s home, but wait ’til you see some of the interesting things he revealed about his friend, MJ>>>

TEDDY TELLS LITTLE KNOWN SECRETS ABOUT HIS FRIEND, MJ

Teddy revealed a few interesting things about Michael Jackson:

“I stayed with Mike. We ate pot pies and Kentucky Fried Chicken together.”

“The best way he could describe MJ was that “he’s like a homie in the house” really regular and down to earth.”

Teddy said his only regret is that he chose not to take a lot of pics with MJ because he never wanted to invade his space.

He went on to explain how MJ loved heat, literally and how they formed a close brotherhood type of bond during the time they worked on the album:

“Michael would always call me in his hot a$$ room, because he LOVED heat. He didn’t like the sun because of his skin, but he loved is room so warm, like you couldn’t breathe, like you just breathing hot air. And he has the heater on the other side and then a heater in front of him, and then a humidifier because he loves stem, it moistens his voice” (which is what many singers are known to do).

Teddy: MJ was a “very warm hearted dude and when you’re behind closed doors with him, he talks about things that you would never expect him to talk about….about his youth life, his life with the little [amount of] friends that he had.”

As the backlash continues against the controversial Leaving Neverland documentary, legendary producer, Teddy Riley, and Berry Gordy’s granddaughter a.k.a. Michael Jackson’s niece have some things to get off their chests about the accusers.

Before we move forward with what they’re saying in defense of MJ and also about the lies that were exposed regarding the documentary, let us first refresh everyone’s memory about how MJ is connected to Berry Gordy’s fam.’

Berry shares a grandbaby with MJ’s parents, Joe Jackson and Katherine Jackson. Many of us Old Schoolers remember when MJ’s big bro,’ Jermaine Jackson, jumped the broom with Berry’s daughter, Hazel Gordy. The two of them remained married from 1973 to 1988 and through their union, produced three children- sons, Jermaine Jr. and Jaimy; and daughter, Autumn.

Jermaine has already spoken out about the MJ doc’:

This time, it’s Jermaine’s and Hazel’s daughter, Autumn Jackson, who is out here slammin’ the HELL outta MJ’s accusers’ Wade Robson and James Safechuck, as well as their Leaving Neverland documentary and it’s director. And she’s also co-signing what New Jack Swing pioneer, Teddy Riley had to say.

Now Peep What MJ’s Niece Is Saying About The Accusers>>>

For years, most of us, Guy fans, have known about the on-again-off-again tension between the members- Teddy Riley, Aaron Hall and Damon Hall- but we never knew the TRUE reason behind their breakup. Now, Teddy has given the real reason in a new interview with “The Breakfast Club” and it dates back to a very tragic incident that went down back in the day, involving New Edition.

The Tragedy That Led To Their Breakup

Teddy Riley: “Guy broke up because my best friend was killed. And the situation we had with New Edition in 1989…it started in North Carolina. It was a situation where New Edition walked on our stage while we were singing “Piece of My Love.” … We didn’t know what was going on.

So, when they walked on the stage we were just dumbfounded. All we heard was like, ‘Yo, don’t hold me back! Yo, what’s up Ted?!!’

Now, how that happened, [was] it started from there and it went to Pittsburgh.”

The tension between Guy and N.E. was never between the actual singers, but sparked by others in both camps:

“It was never no actual beef with the principals, it was in the backline. One of my guys kicked their…tech guy 10 feet off the stage. … He did it because that particular day, New Edition was supposed to go on before us, but they were late.”

Teddy then explained how promoter, Al Hayman, and label exec, Gene Griffin, had already pre-determined which nights each group would alternate being the closing act:

“So that was the day that New Edition was supposed to go on first. When all this happened, it continued in Pittsburgh.”

By the time Guy arrived into Pittsburgh -hours after their crew had- that’s when Teddy was hit with the tragic reality that his best friend had just been shot FOUR times right before they’d arrived to the city:

“When we drove into Pittsburgh, it was all on the news: ‘Guy by the name of Anthony B. from Harlem, NY, dies in the revolving door of the Marriott Hotel. And the guy that shot him was a pro because he didn’t miss, not one shot. […] “[Shot] four times through the heart, through the back. … It took him out right away.

With keyboards, if I needed something, he’d buy it and he wouldn’t even tell me, he’d just show up.”

Nobody Came To The Funeral

Teddy then explained that “nobody,” including his Guy members- Aaron and Damon Hall, attended his friend, Anthony’s, funeral. That’s what hurt him even further and he decided to leave the group:

“So, with someone like that I’d loss..I just said, ‘Ya know, no one cares, but I do.’ I went to the funeral, nobody came to the funeral.”

Teddy stated that his final decision to leave Guy was because when his best friend was murdered by N.E.’s crew, “they weren’t there for me.”

How Michael Jackson Helped Teddy At The Time

A call from Michael Jackson instantly helped spark his solo career:

“Michael Jackson called…everything happened at the same time. …I asked Q-Tip if I could use his [studio] room to make music for Michael. I didn’t tell Michael I was quitting the group. We [Guy] had a show at the Madison Square Garden and that was my last show with Guy, 1990.”

This is so incredibly sad. The bright side for Teddy at that time, is that a few days after his last show with Guy in 1990, he flew to where MJ was and created one the greatest musical masterpieces of his entire career- Michael Jackson’s 1991 Dangerous album, which has sold over 32 million albums worldwide.

By the way, we reported details of that tragic Guy-New Edition altercation a while back. If you missed the intricate details of what transpired, see it HERE.

Beef With Aaron Hall Reached Petty Levels

Needless to say, Guy’s breakup left a bad taste in Aaron’s mouth, as he watched his former homie, Teddy Riley, soar to new heights as a hit-making producer. Aaron’s disdain for Teddy became so prevalent, that it eventually spilled over into interviews and such. But things done changed now…

Reunited…

In recent years, Teddy, Damon, and Aaron have let bygones be bygones, with their brotherly reunion. They’ve been performing together at sold-out concerts, just like they did back in the day.
