--------
In this clip, Johnny Gill revealed New Edition's struggles with debt, substance abuse, and mental health amid their successful music career. He explained the high costs of producing a tour, noting that though they were making money, they were spending an equal, if not greater, amount. In a previous interview, Ricky Bell opened up about his battles with drug addiction, resulting in financial ruin. He confessed to selling personal belongings, including his designer boots, just to afford his next high. Gill echoed the sentiment, explaining that he had to sell his house and other valuables due to financial strain. Gill attributed the group's financial struggles to the lack of education about managing money. He admitted ignoring the signs and focusing more on enjoying fame and wealth, which ultimately led the group to their financial downfall. - บันเทิง

VLAD LET THE GUEST TALK MAN! We’re here to hear Johnnys story not you.
Johnny Gill is talking…stop complaining
@casslac1981 it's a comment section.. u have control issues huh
@casslac1981 u listen to Katy perry.. enough said😂
He does the same thing every interview 😅😅😅
💯💯💯💯
No matter how many entertainers fall victim to money over spending and mismanagement, the stories just keep coming, generation after generation.
The entertainment business is something else!
Most don’t think that the money flow will ever end.
Johnny Gill is such a likable guy and this is a great interview.
thanks!
coke….pleeeeease Jr, its bearly a drug, my uncle in Columbia drinks coffee
I have the UPMOST RESPECT FOR RICK. BEING A Recovered addict myself it's not easy to admit to your loved ones let alone the WORLD. TAKES LOTTA BALLS AND HIS STORY INSPIRES ME. STAY STRONG SLICK. PRAYING FOR YOU BRAH THAT U STAY ON THE ROAD
Yes, yes, Don't let the mountain win.
That heartbreak album was amazing. Johnny Gills vocal and harmonies really gave that album the maturity NE needed to reach a more broad and mature audience. His voice alone, truly brought NE from boys to men.
Johnny Gill is a r&b legend not just in New Edition, but as a solo artist in music. I remembered 35 years ago when Heartbreak album came out in 1988 the one artist that Johnny was compared too was Teddy Pendergrass who is my favorite artist of all time. His voice was a little bit similar to Teddy's because he had a very soulful voice and the way he screamed on their songs, my favorite song My My My, and his other group LSG was unheard of at the time.🎤
yeah because bobby brown looks like he out of breath when he is on stage with all that weight on him.. it reminds me off an episode off the WAYANS brothers when pops and his crew came back together.. ELON MUSKS not going through this but entertainers are
Damn I didn't realize that album came out that long ago im getting old old 😂😂
His accountant: Johnny, you’re broke.
Johnny: My my my, my my my somebody getting robbed tonight…
🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂😂aite you win 😂😂😂
He was getting robbed
Ayo 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Man, seeing this interview really made me appreciate the Rich Dad Poor Dad author and how he always stressed a financial education. It is not about how much you make. It is about how much you keep.
Very well stated! Robert Kiyosaki is an outstanding financial teacher.
Then they wouldn’t be able to take advantage of people. Y’all always make excuses for the system
@@davruck1those are facts too
Exactly and they all say that would never happen to me. I know how to manage my money.
@@1990758 the economy is literally a scam. They talk shit while corporations steal from them every day. Either way they still never touched that kind of money and they just a nobody in the comments. Anybody can be fooled if you trust someone.
I love how VLad comes prepared to an interview, he obviously has his questions written down & his guests pretty much feel comfortable. This was good insight from Johnny Gill.
Does the interviewer want to do the interview because damn that is what it seems like. Let Johnny talk.
Prayers for that man. Hope he don't relapse again
Ricky Bell could sing his tail off.
I heard Something on your eyes the other day a said the same thing
💯
"Could"...shit!!!! Still "CAN".
The docuseries really depicted these dudes goin flat broke along with Ricky's addiction and overdose.
Barry Bonds majored in Criminology at Arizona State University. Smart man.
Bonds learned from his father and god father Willie Mays. They taught him right.
Damn i was wondering if he was taking about THE Barry Bonds. Wow great story
That makes him a smart man? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Vlad interviews ppl as if he knows more about them than they know about themselves.
Damn Vlad I enjoyed your vacation from conducting the interviews.
Lmaooo
It wasn't the money that was misunderstood - It was the contracts
God bless and protect the brother. I'm going through alcoholism myself. It was so fun when I was coming up
Quit bro...I'm 3 years sober and life is so much better. You can do it
I had my struggles with alcohol as well mainly to try to find a way to escape the world around me. I'll keep you in prayers I know it isn't easy but it's possible to quit
@@soulrebel6309Congratulations on your sobriety. 👍🏿
@@tonyroan75 thanks bro!
Johnny: So think of it we were in our 20s
Vlad: uhhh you were 31😂😂😂
That Home Again tour was when a lot of bread was spent. By each member having their own entourage and your bus, they went totally over that budget. The label took all of that publishing to pay back all of that loan that they spent and they broke up the Home Again Tour early.
Vlad your Interruption almost damaged the clip
VLAD never shuts up!!! He is the worse
This is amazing to hear. During that time, so many mentors were available to mentor them. Greg Morris, Sidney Portier, Diana Ross, etc.
Vlad get us Barry Bonds.. we need that.
Damn VLad . u ask a question and answer the question. Lol
5:24 Interesting story with Barry Bonds, Johnny.
The way vlad laughs everytime he talks about them going broke 🤨
All the dudes he calls dear friends seem a little sweet and sound sweet: Barry Bonds, Luther Vandross, Eric Dickerson, Eddie Murphy, etc
Takes one to know one !
So what?
😂😂
if we gonna judge by how someone sounds, go check out some of Tupac's interviews from his B-More days before the West Coast thug transformation

"MAKE IT SMOO-WOO-WOOVE, BAABY!" - Johnny Gill from the hit song, "There You Go." ( Boomerang: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, 1992 )...
Very Proud of You Ricky Such a Powerful Story J.G God Has Blessed You in the End ❤
I can verify that Barry Bonds was/is an electronics nerd because he was a regular customer at an electronics superstore where I used to work as a loss prevention officer in the late 90's (miracle). Black people better start respecting the black nerds that God SENDS to bless them/us with wisdom!
When you get caught up in a bad life style it’s like an addiction you’ve hit rock bottom before getting out or killed yourself.
I LOVE LIFE AND ITS MANY LESSONS.
I met Johnny in 2013. Didn't know they went through financial struggles. It would've been better if they were in my situation with a career making money and do music for passion.
Yes let the guest talk😂🤦🏾♀️🤔
He looks like D Wade in 20 years lol lol..great interview
Vlad should just interview himself since he won't stfu.
At this point Vlad just wanna hear himself talk 😒
Johnny Gill looked like a wounded goose when he danced.
Glad interview me!! I used to cut Johnny Gill’s grass 🌳
This man made the soundtrack for my high school senior year!!
Look trust me I’m 40 then artist back then wasnt mature enough to invest but trust me they should still have money but the label takesssssssssss so much money from them it’s crazy
Naw some of these cats be dumb💯stacking bread is about being disciplined these folks be irresponsible
Its awesome for us to Finally Grow Up , take accountability and admit... yeah we didnt know, learn, be open minded... its not how much u make, its what u dont spend that adds up👌🏾 👏🏿 👍🏽 😍
I don't have the skills, but anyone here able to make a super edit of Vlad interviewing Vlad? Christ Tovarisch, hush and let the man talk.
😂😂😂
When your production company and management, each take 25% off the top, you are left with 50%. The label has recuperables. And you owe 40% to taxes, which you haven't paid.
I never knew of these stories 👍🏾💯
Because they hide a lot of things from the fans. They make it seem like these people are so happy and have a lot of money. The music video you have to pay for and it comes out of your pocket.
I tell you one who never went broke was Michael Bivens he got smart and learned the music industry and learned from Gerald Busby
Yeah how to cheat other artists.
Ricky had enough money for that hairline though.
Yeah but if he relapse trust that he's gonna sell it. 😶
Did Ricky Bell get a transplant done??
@@georgeandy6923 He definitely had something done because I remember when he was going bald.
@@quairan2099 Yes....maybe he did. If was a transplant that he had done, then they definitely did a good job!!
Listen Glad. Let the man talk.
Accountability 👏👏
This is very messed up. The Rickey Bell part was driving me outta my mind. He needed a hit or mason jar to zest some lemons. Like he pawned everything even his as$
His ass?
damn dawg yeah he looking Hella fruity!!!
He didn't lose the white Woman's love.
Damn Vlad!! Let dude talk!!
Next time VLAD, have shawn prez do these interviews and u stick with rappers.. shawn let the guest talk
I dont know if im goig out on a limb but they really should do a BBD miniseries Ricky has a movie hisself alone
Didn’t know Johnny Gill and Barry Bonds were good friends 😊
Scarface had a song out around 20 years ago talking about a man working a job for 20 years making good money but having to walk to work because he had his priorities messed up
That’s how it be too
I don’t know man. The more I listen to clips of this interview Johnny comes off more and more zesty!
Eddie Murphy tapped that ..
😂😂😂😂
I've always thought that he was, fr
Looked at his account and said "my my my"😅😅😅😅
Interviews are for the interviewer to ask a question then let the guest respond.
You get those checks and you dont think that you owe the IRS 50% of all that shit.
I wish vlad would let the guest speak
I’m sure if you know what you know now I’m sure things would be much different
Barry Bonds grew up around money. His dad was also a professional baseball player before him.
God bless you Ricky and Johnny, you don't look like what you've been through, God is good!
Johnny Gill move like Stevie wonder
Vlad seems to never understand how sh*t just happens. Everyones live is not perfect. Geeezzz
The Producer Maurice Starr ripped them off from daY1
It’s never too late to go to college.
Ain’t no question on Ricky bell zestiness 😂
But God Ricky. God will and can bring you through
Anyone knows is he talking about Barry Bonds the baseball player?
Yes
MY MY MY BUT IM NOT JOHNNY GILL
BUT IM NOT JOHNNY GILL,
IM A THUGGED OUT PLAYA RIDING 20” WHEELS! - BIG HAWK 🕊️
WoW.. Barry Bonds tried 🤷🏾♂️
@MNIMD2023 yup 😂
@@InvincibleStormFilms bro said, Barry you crazy look at this lil nigga trying to tell us something lol
It doesn't matter who you are when you get that type of money in your hands and end up BROKE!! I personally cannot understand that period. Hell never made that type of money but I still own few things in my life. It call COMMON SENSE
You would be surprised alot of these guys take care of multiple family members as well as friends thinking that money will always come in.
And that why they end up broke@@user-kz3ur2ph1l
They should have invested and chilled the fuck out, Weak minded
Until you survive with your soul intact "after" having made that kind of money, you don't have any right to preach about "common sense".
@@beekaydee7334 WTF your soul we all got one
*WHY does his voice remind me of Bill Duke* ????????
Johnny Gill is one of the only people who can out talk Vlad besides Lil Boosie
Damn son....
Well if you sign up you can get the 6400 dollars for your bills and groceries 😂
Ricky Bell turned into Mr. Marcus, don't get it twisted
3:51 he’s wasn’t 31 in the group. He was 21.
Unbelievable... So sad, they were babies.
These actors. And athletes do not have all the money we think they have. Especially the singers.
For some reason people still think these artist, actors, etc, are just these rich well off people, no you have to continue to tour/work, the rest of your life to keep up with the lifestyle, not to much time to actually sit and enjoy it LIKE I KNOW THEY WANT TO ENJOY IT, and you will miss out on seeing your kids grow, they sell the dream so hard to the regular civilian but all along deep down inside they are all fighting depression, drugs, and suicide thoughts, because most of them cant go back to being regular, because they wouldn't be able to handle the backlash, so they sit there stuck in a system wanting out. AMERICAN DREAM does it sound familiar, WE ARE ALL FIGHTING TO SWITCH SIDES BUT IN REALITY ITS ALL THE SAME
Well said!
It’s called budget! Get a modest home and invest. No one ever plays the long game🤷🏽♀️
@@thatbemefool they’re being robbed while the people with no talent make all the money
@davruck1 they are not being robbed, everything you do as a artist comes out of your pocket, if you want your song to be number 1, you have to pay, you have to pay for videos to be shot, you have to pay for studio time, you pay to go on tour, hotels and everything else, nobody's robbing, nobody's educated on how much you really make, which in the end, every artist will work or tour until they are dead
@@DaddysJournie that’s robbery. The only people who care about that BS are people like Vlad and the executives. Did you not watch the interview? He cared about music not album sales. I
He Means a "HOUSE FULL of GUYS" 😉
That's what I was thinking. Why didn't he just ask his Boyfriend for the money.
Damn Gill,your boyfriend Eddie didn't hook you up with at least 5 million?
Exactly.
I wanted to hear the story from Charlie Murphy that Johnny said he can kick Mike Tyson Ass 😳
Ricky was smoking crack because ain't no way!!
GILL LIVED WITH EDDIE MURPHY FOR DECADES. THEY'RE SAID TO BE CLOSER THAN TWINS. COULDN'T EDDIE HELP HIM?
Damn, I’m glad someone else knows lol. Hell, I think he still lives with him.
He just told you Barry Bonds tried to help him, I’m sure Eddie did to. Nothing happens until you get “sick n tired of being sick n tired”
LMFAO @ lived with Murphy for decades...where's the proof?
the thing about VLAD is no matter how deep open and honest the star is about their challenges, VLAD finds a way to dig out more negativity. this show is good for learning about the ones being interviewed. It hurts that VLAD gets to benefit from it though.
Yeah, the culture vulture always find time to position himself in black culture. He's obsessed with black entertainers and their finances
Shout out to barry bonds
Watch him Johnny. We ain't gonna let him stir/instigate some bs he ain't breaking up NE. We know how he get down. Still watch yourself 💯😫😂
johnny must be broke if he is on vlad tv doing an interview.
New edition contract was with a crooked producer
They had to get out of it in order to have any money
The deal with bad boy was supposed to do that but
My understanding is the deal the have now is supposed to include royaltys and creative freedom
When they signed with Bad Boy Puff paid off the debt to universal so the started getting royalties from that point
Vlad why don't you let the man speak. Dangit man!
Vlad…how many ways do you need to hear…STFU!!!!
GaaaadDamn…sounds like you snort a bunch of cocaine and start speed talkin.
Let the guest talk!!!!
Dang Ricky was on that Tabitha hard 😩
Sounds like Johnny’s voice box is done.
When I hear Vlad 🤮🤮🤮
New Edition..The Highest of The High & The Lowest of The Low..
Blah, Blah, Blah…folks have been saying this for years. All you have to do is watch UNSUNG. Same ole’ story recycled for the last 50+ years with Black Artists.
