Oh L.A. Reid, the man that stole all of TLC’s and Toni Braxton’s money and almost single-handedly halted the success of Whitney’s Just Whitney album, try to force Pink to do more teen pop when she wanted to do rock and had beef with Patti LaBelle…
10 years from now we are going to hear this same story about other women in the industry facing similar issues. I hope more women become CEO, and Executive Producers so that we can uplift each other.
With the way things are coming out, I honestly believe that damn near everybody “famous” has done things to get there. And the small amount of ones who haven’t, have serious tea that could be spilled. It seems like it’s as common as “just another day in the office” 😭
@@b1bo840 I just watched a documentary on many young boys in the acting/modeling world, that have been molested by the producers/directors etc. And apparently it’s almost expected for males as well 😞
I remember that song! We played it OUTTTT in my sorority house! Looks like she dodged major bullets by avoiding the music industry and all its evil. She's found her soulmate, created and helps raise beautiful children, and continues to educate and better herself. She may not be a "superstar", but she seems to have a beautiful, fulfilling life. All the very best to her and her lovely family 💕
I remember her, this and bizounce by Olivia came out the same year and I remember always watching their videos on BET! She still so beautiful and happy to see she is doing very well!!
I never heard of her…however I’m glad to hear that her life was still fulfilling to her. And she just may have dodged a HUGE bullet with these music industry vultures
You're not alone!!! I never heard of this chick either! She wasn't even talented or famous long enough to be a "Has Been!" She used what she had to obtain what she wanted (Her Looks and Vagina) to change her luck!! She was probably ovulating in the parking lot! lolz!! And this guy she married, acts like he just got out of prison and hasn't had sex in 30 years!! He said: "Who is That?!" She probably replied: "I'm a washed-up singer, I'm broke and starving/You look like a meal ticket to me baby!" Here's the recipe for broke Gold Digger$: "Preheat Incubator to 400 Degrees, Add Rich, Dumb, NFL Player, $mash (Unprotected/Raw) thoroughly for 5-30 minutes wait 9 Months and instantly, a guaranteed income stream (Child $upport) for 18 years!!

Im glad Drew stuck to her dignity by not sleeping with LA Reid. Its sad that her artist had to suffer but he was clearly wrong for trying to take advantage of her and abuse his power. Im sure she is not the first nor the last person he pulled that with.
Sad what Drew Dixon had to go through , I believe her , she looks like LAs type . Glad to hear toya is living her best life with her beautiful family . Thanks again RRG x
Drew Dixon had a rough way to go too...she made some serious allegations against another industry big wig....it's documented in an HBO special.....#metoo
So many men who look like LA Ried feel entitled to the women who normally wouldn’t give them the time of day. They literally get viciously vengeful when the women refuse. Takes them right back to the days of rejection due to their looks back before they had money.

Blessings to Drew for her Integrity, Moral, Dignity and Virtue. We need more Women like her as a focal point for us women today. It appears as if Toya is Extremely Blessed with the things money and fame cannot buy. Drew did Herself and Toya a solid. Thats the kind of woman I aspire to be and be around. Thank you for your Quality, thorough, beautifully put together content. Namaste and Ase.
I remember Toya and I believe Drew. Big Les said the same thing about ppl in the industry wanting women to sleep with them for advancement. What a shame
i never heard of her until now thanks to you Sis!okay she came and saw And didn't conquer the industry instead of she got a beautiful family that's a blessing

I really enjoyed Toya's album. To this day I still have her songs in my MP3 player (yes that's how I listen to music). Glad she's doing good. She don't need the music industry. She's got something much more precious and important. Family.
RRG.. Thank you time taken for the information.... It seems as if LA Reid and Pebbles took advantage of people Mentally~ Emotionally~ Financially.... Lisa { Left Eye} Lopez exposed the shadiness Toya is living her best life possible with her Family..I can imagine she hasn't any interest in music after the goings on
I remember her back in the day early 2000s, she was so talented it’s a shame her career went downhill. Despite of her music flop it’s good to know she’s doing well in life outside of the music industry.
Yeah I really thought she was going to take off all she needed was a collabo with a popping artist from that time and she was going to be in. That was the early 2000 formula be on a hot track with the rapper and then do your own song or vice versa
Holy shit I forgot about her song "I Do" sounds so good and it still slaps. TY for the reminder, sux that La Reid was just another Weinstien with too much power over artists careers :(
Even though she didn’t make it in the music industry she still won in life. Sometimes God closes doors to protect us. She has a wonderful life with beautiful children and a great husband, she 🏆
Interesting... Toya. I remember seeing her CD in stores and I never bothered to pick it up. I can see why. The CD had no magic or programming behind it. I believe Ms. Drew Dixon. Several individuals within the music industry done came forth w/ they stories about somebody tryna sleep w/ them. This is a real thing. I've learned that it's not a guaranteed method of securing a career because most artists don't last long and there are always younger and fresher artists coming behind them. Of course Mr. L.A. Reid didn't do anything wrong, folks lied on him because they're failures and women are just scorned. Yeah...riiiiight... He did that just like Mr. Russell Simmons, etcetera. "BUT YOU WEREN'T THERE!!!" Whatever...
Thank you for this! St. Louis native, here, and let me tell you, we all were rooting for Toya, back in the day. She had billboards all over the city and on both sides of the water (STL and ESTL). Her album was dope, but hard to find. I remember asking one of my upper classmates to hold a CD for me, when he worked at Walmart. I was so disappointed that the album didn't get the push that it deserved, and waited patiently for its follow up. The remix to I Do! with Murphy Lee was a banger! Other possible singles could have been Moving On, What Else Could I Do?, I Messed Up, Book of Love and/or possibly Fiasco ft. T.I. She had a strong voice and her own swag (especially for her being so young). Lol. She even had a mini dictionary to break down her Midwest lingo in her CD booklet (for all of the non-St Louisans). To this day, I still bump her CD, especially after washing and waxing the car. Check out I Do Pt. 2.
Everyone who failed in the industry should consider it a blessing and someone was looking out for them. Look at Micheal, Whitney, Prince and others it's evident the industry is dark, evil and shady
Whitney's family had a lot to do with her issues more than the industry. Her bro admitted to being the first to give her drugs and the family member who was her main handler and executor of her estate is also shady af. Whitney never had a chance. Michael, a lot of the same, his family started his issues. Industry didn't help but...
It's always been a dirty business. I'm glad both ladies moved on to better things. The lady has dignity and character, this you can't buy. Much success to you both.
I wonder if this had happened to the girl group ISYSS they were signed to LA Reid and his label. His label dropped them after the first album due to low record sales. I've notice one of two of the four members of ISYSS stayed in the entertainment industry while the rest were no longer in the business.
This is what I'm talking about when I say that those women at FOX News who claimed they were "forced" to get on their knees could've walked away? This is what I mean. They wanted the fame and money and did anything to get it then diminished what Tarana Burke did with me-too. Made that movement a joke. Kudos to those, like Latoya, for standing their ground.
I'm glad to see Toya is doing well. I bought her album when it first came out, and it was a really good pop album. "I DO" is still my jam! Please do a follow up for Mona Lisa!! She sang "Can't Be Wasting My Time" and "You Said." She had a beautiful voice!
Thanks for doing her story. Toya was one of my favorite singers when I was a kid. Her album is great. I wish she would have been more successful. "I Do" is still a great song that I listen to every now and then.
SHOCKED???? Why should we be. Everyone knows that Music Producers do really bad things to *New *Young *Beautiful Artists. L A Reid is just the same. I remember Desi'ree, Ninah Cherry, Blu Cantrell and many others
I LOVE I Do & the remix with Murphy Lee! I was 12 when she came around. I'm SO glad she didn't sell out on the industry. It's such a cut throat place and no place for morals, values, dignity. Kudos to her💛🌻
Unfortunately I don’t remember her in the music industry. I’m glad her life took a turn for the better. And KUDOS to the woman who was groomer Toya‼️ 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
Thank you for this. Being from St. Louis, I had no clue what truly happened to Toya. I chunked it up, like it’s several artists that come from STL & yet have a short span in the industry. Toya, being a native- probably pushed hard in the beginning cause she knew that history, coupled with her work ethic as well. It’s good to hear the update on her. May she keep God first & He will continue to direct her path. 🥰
I have wondered about her for YEARS! I remember watching the premiere of her video "I Do". I loved it! She wore the red Thriller jacket in the video and because I'm a MJ Stan, I was here for Toya but I didn't see her at all after the video dropped. Thanks for this! Taking me back to high school👍
I knew Toya. She was a friend of my father who had a friend that worked with music producers in St. Louis. I was born there and lived there until I was 10 and I hung out with her and I bought her album. Still bump it to this day. I never knew this was why her music career never took off but I am happy that she grew her family and is living a better life. I miss her. I know she may not remember me but I’ll never forget her and her sweet warm smile and energy.
Toya was unsuccessful in the music industry but she won in life with her husband and kids. They said the best revenge is living well - I concur.
that part
Exactly 💯
Yes, but if a person wanted a music career that can be disappointing. Not discounting the value of her family.
@@kelil1750 agree with your point.
Lol being a wife and mom aren't careers though... being a singer/entertainer is.
Oh L.A. Reid, the man that stole all of TLC’s and Toni Braxton’s money and almost single-handedly halted the success of Whitney’s Just Whitney album, try to force Pink to do more teen pop when she wanted to do rock and had beef with Patti LaBelle…
and him and Janet are still beefin to this day.
@@KingAlone516 You’re right! I forgot she was on Island when he was president!
Wonder if it's true he hooked up with Pink?
💯👀💅🏾
He’s dead now right?
I have to say that I truly admire these women for moving on with their lives and not giving in to being disrespected for a career.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I absolutely believe her too.
& that industry is crazy... It's not easy to make it & often the people who deserve to make it don't...
10 years from now we are going to hear this same story about other women in the industry facing similar issues. I hope more women become CEO, and Executive Producers so that we can uplift each other.
Just because it’s a woman doesn’t mean they won’t be cheated. Just look at Pebbles.
Facts , and I hope many of them have their own representation and keeping good percentages of their publishing
Artists get messed over by women in charge too. Women as good natured and nice is a huge myth.
You will find that women in powerful positions also do the same thing as the men. They can be worse as women do not handle rejection well.
I don't see too many women in high places doin anything less grimy than a man in the same high places unfortunately..... But I wish it mattered, shit.
Another heartfelt and well-researched by the RRG Team. Keep doing your thing RRG and blessings to LaToya's family.
Thanks for watching and blessings to you too ❤
Yes, she's the best!!🧡💙💜❤💚💖💖

I Do by Toya is STILL a hot joint. I thought she had promise as a young talent. She seemed to be following in the footsteps of Aaliyah and Mya.
It's played here in stl is often.
Her husband won a National Championship at Tennessee as the Starting Quarterback.
I remember her, Samantha Mumba and FeFe Dobson back in the day!
She is my girl. We were in the Hall Jackson Teen pageant together and she won that year.
When I was 10-11 years old my dance recital was to one of Toya's songs. Brings back SOOO many memories.

They played “ I do” on the radio all the time in my area back in the day. But I never heard “ no matter what” on the radio not a single time
Where I was in El paso Texas at the time they always played I do. I had the album to.
@@OldFordTaurus me either I heard no matter what on the album
Agreed
Blessings to Drew for her Integrity, Moral, Dignity and Virtue. We need more Women like her as a focal point for us women today.
It appears as if Toya is Extremely Blessed with the things money and fame cannot buy. Drew did Herself and Toya a solid. Thats the kind of woman I aspire to be and be around.
Thank you for your Quality, thorough, beautifully put together content. Namaste and Ase.
I remember Toya and I believe Drew. Big Les said the same thing about ppl in the industry wanting women to sleep with them for advancement. What a shame
i never heard of her until now thanks to you Sis!okay she came and saw And didn't conquer the industry instead of she got a beautiful family that's a blessing
Thanks for watching ❤❤
She ain't conquer nothing but his bank account and his erection! And if he wasn't making big money in the NFL, she wouldn't have given his @ss the time of day!
If he was a garbage man and shot his shot, she would have screamed #METOO!! faster than you can say $ettlement!!
Jackpot?! Don't you mean GOLD DIGGER???!!! She hurried up and popped out those lottery ticket$!! On that 18-year annuity payment or a big lump sum!!
I know it was no accident she ended up at that event, she was fishing for a rich, dumb $imp!! And reeled in a pro football player!! NFL stands for: "Not For Love!"
As sure as the sun rises and sets...You best believe...He got him another groupie "side piece!"
I really enjoyed Toya's album. To this day I still have her songs in my MP3 player (yes that's how I listen to music). Glad she's doing good. She don't need the music industry. She's got something much more precious and important. Family.
Agreed
RRG.. Thank you time taken for the information....
It seems as if LA Reid and Pebbles took advantage of people
Mentally~ Emotionally~ Financially....
Lisa { Left Eye} Lopez exposed the shadiness
Toya is living her best life possible with her Family..I can imagine she hasn't any interest in music after the goings on
Never heard of her but she’s beautiful and her life turned out well. She looks happy youthful and healthy.
I'm Happy for that she still thriving after the music situation didn't work out. Again dope video👍🏿
Thanks for watching!
I remember her back in the day early 2000s, she was so talented it’s a shame her career went downhill. Despite of her music flop it’s good to know she’s doing well in life outside of the music industry.
Yeah I really thought she was going to take off all she needed was a collabo with a popping artist from that time and she was going to be in. That was the early 2000 formula be on a hot track with the rapper and then do your own song or vice versa
I love how she has excelled and didn't let that disappointment negate her from achieving success elsewhere, Tupac said it best "KEEP YA HEAD UP"
I believe Drew. come on now this was 2001-2002! it happened A LOT
Holy shit I forgot about her song "I Do" sounds so good and it still slaps. TY for the reminder, sux that La Reid was just another Weinstien with too much power over artists careers :(
I'm here to be nosy and to see who mad at the title this go around ... 🧐
LMAO don't even get them started 😂😂😂
Right! 😆
Even though she didn’t make it in the music industry she still won in life. Sometimes God closes doors to protect us. She has a wonderful life with beautiful children and a great husband, she 🏆
Amen
Amen ‼️ and win is a win 🏆😏
If Drew is being truthful, props and respect to her. I've never heard of Toya either but she seem like she's still winning to me.
She didn't sell her soul n become boule. So she got the axe o n screw la Reid
It really is dark smh
😭😭😭
Interesting... Toya. I remember seeing her CD in stores and I never bothered to pick it up. I can see why. The CD had no magic or programming behind it. I believe Ms. Drew Dixon. Several individuals within the music industry done came forth w/ they stories about somebody tryna sleep w/ them. This is a real thing. I've learned that it's not a guaranteed method of securing a career because most artists don't last long and there are always younger and fresher artists coming behind them. Of course Mr. L.A. Reid didn't do anything wrong, folks lied on him because they're failures and women are just scorned. Yeah...riiiiight... He did that just like Mr. Russell Simmons, etcetera. "BUT YOU WEREN'T THERE!!!" Whatever...
WHO...never heard of her! 😂
😭😭😭
Thank you for this! St. Louis native, here, and let me tell you, we all were rooting for Toya, back in the day. She had billboards all over the city and on both sides of the water (STL and ESTL). Her album was dope, but hard to find. I remember asking one of my upper classmates to hold a CD for me, when he worked at Walmart. I was so disappointed that the album didn't get the push that it deserved, and waited patiently for its follow up. The remix to I Do! with Murphy Lee was a banger! Other possible singles could have been Moving On, What Else Could I Do?, I Messed Up, Book of Love and/or possibly Fiasco ft. T.I. She had a strong voice and her own swag (especially for her being so young). Lol. She even had a mini dictionary to break down her Midwest lingo in her CD booklet (for all of the non-St Louisans). To this day, I still bump her CD, especially after washing and waxing the car. Check out I Do Pt. 2.
Yes she did! My grandparents live in ESTL and I remember seeing the billboards when I went to visit them!!
Everyone who failed in the industry should consider it a blessing and someone was looking out for them. Look at Micheal, Whitney, Prince and others it's evident the industry is dark, evil and shady
Whitney's family had a lot to do with her issues more than the industry. Her bro admitted to being the first to give her drugs and the family member who was her main handler and executor of her estate is also shady af. Whitney never had a chance. Michael, a lot of the same, his family started his issues. Industry didn't help but...
@@squarebear619 I definitely agree with everything you said but I know a few people who work in that industry and it's just not a good place.
Don’t forget Amy Winehouse
Good for her. It sounds like she dodged a bullet with all of the industry foolishness, and she has a happy life. 💞
Thanks for watching ❤❤
I’m glad her and her fam are doing good. I def remember her music.
❤️❤️
Girl stay home with your family that music industry is dangerous
They sold to the soul to devil
Unfortunately these types of things happen more often than they are told. Glad she found someone she could be happy with
She’s very nice! I had the chance to meet her when I was young. Her manager with to high school with my dad.
Aww how sweet!
//: I believe her, (Hollywood) acting is probably even worse.
I have no idea who she is…but I’m glad she’s got a supportive husband by her side.
Thanks for watching ❤❤
It was God's plan for her to win in other ways and now she's a champion!!!
It's always been a dirty business.
I'm glad both ladies moved on to better things.
The lady has dignity and character, this you can't buy.
Much success to you both.
The music industry has a zoo of vipers and snakes. You must have your head on and tough skin. Great video as usual RRG.
I wonder if this had happened to the girl group ISYSS they were signed to LA Reid and his label. His label dropped them after the first album due to low record sales. I've notice one of two of the four members of ISYSS stayed in the entertainment industry while the rest were no longer in the business.
I was JUST thinking this! I hope RRG can do a video about them.
She’s living well now. That’s all that matters.
We agree!
Her album "Toya" is really good! She can saaaaang!!
Yesss!
Mannnn that snoop dogg gif whooo takes me out every time I see it 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
LMAO
I purchased her album and really enjoyed it. So had to hear she is doing well. Thank you for another great video!
This is what I'm talking about when I say that those women at FOX News who claimed they were "forced" to get on their knees could've walked away? This is what I mean. They wanted the fame and money and did anything to get it then diminished what Tarana Burke did with me-too. Made that movement a joke. Kudos to those, like Latoya, for standing their ground.
I'm glad to see Toya is doing well. I bought her album when it first came out, and it was a really good pop album. "I DO" is still my jam!
Please do a follow up for Mona Lisa!! She sang "Can't Be Wasting My Time" and "You Said." She had a beautiful voice!
Yes this would be a good wine!
She is definitely winning. I hate this happened to her but God definitely has her and her family’s back 💚♥️
Thanks for doing her story. Toya was one of my favorite singers when I was a kid. Her album is great. I wish she would have been more successful. "I Do" is still a great song that I listen to every now and then.
Thanks for watching ❤❤
Facts
No Matta What is better
SHOCKED???? Why should we be. Everyone knows that Music Producers do really bad things to *New *Young *Beautiful Artists. L A Reid is just the same.
I remember Desi'ree, Ninah Cherry, Blu Cantrell and many others
Her song "I Do" was the jam. I hate that she didn't get a chance to really shine.
Wow I watch I Do at least once a week on TH-cam ! 😂 I remember this being played on 106
We hope you enjoyed the video! ❤
I don’t think that I have heard of her. That’s messed up how they did her. Great video as usual!!!! 💛💛💛💛
I LOVE I Do & the remix with Murphy Lee! I was 12 when she came around. I'm SO glad she didn't sell out on the industry. It's such a cut throat place and no place for morals, values, dignity. Kudos to her💛🌻
Agreed
Unfortunately I don’t remember her in the music industry. I’m glad her life took a turn for the better. And KUDOS to the woman who was groomer Toya‼️ 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
I don't remember her
Thank you for this. Being from St. Louis, I had no clue what truly happened to Toya. I chunked it up, like it’s several artists that come from STL & yet have a short span in the industry. Toya, being a native- probably pushed hard in the beginning cause she knew that history, coupled with her work ethic as well. It’s good to hear the update on her. May she keep God first & He will continue to direct her path. 🥰
I have wondered about her for YEARS! I remember watching the premiere of her video "I Do". I loved it! She wore the red Thriller jacket in the video and because I'm a MJ Stan, I was here for Toya but I didn't see her at all after the video dropped. Thanks for this! Taking me back to high school👍
It is true men expect women to sleep with them for fame and fortune in music and acting pursuits. Drew refused to sell her soul. 👏🏽
I knew Toya. She was a friend of my father who had a friend that worked with music producers in St. Louis. I was born there and lived there until I was 10 and I hung out with her and I bought her album. Still bump it to this day. I never knew this was why her music career never took off but I am happy that she grew her family and is living a better life. I miss her. I know she may not remember me but I’ll never forget her and her sweet warm smile and energy.
