Don’t Mess With TLC!!!
I saw TLC years ago on their Fanmail and felt about the live presentation what I felt about the album: started off great and fizzled out. Christina Aguilara opened and took em to soul school.
But still it was TLC -when they were not burning down their exes they were kidnapping Clive Davis. Wha…?
It’s true. This is what T-Boz told talk show host Monique according to the Boombox:
TLC had generated, on ‘Crazy Sexy Cool,’ $75 million and they gave us $50,000 a piece,” Watkins said. “I was like, what the hell? So, of course, Lisa [‘Left Eye’ Lopes] was the ringleader, like, ‘We need to go get our money. I need to know where my money is at!'”
“We had the limo driver, he was the getaway car,” Watkins continued. “So we went up there, and Puffy was the one that snitched us out because we kicked him out of the meeting. It was rude — we interrupted Puffy’s meeting. We were getting sick and sweating, and we were really working hard for [the] money and we wanted to know who the hell had our check. [LaFace Records head] L.A. [Reid] said [then-Arista chief] Clive had it, [so] that’s where we went.”
