I prefer video over audio any day of the week. So I had to post the video from Pleasure P’s sitdown with Ed Lover this morning in NYC.
In the clip above you can check out Pleasure’s body language and everything. And seeing as Gyantunplugged contributed to the spreading of the malicious rumors, I want to make sure that we give him just as much attention as he attempts to clear his name.
Check out parts 3&4 below.
On If It could possibly have some truth in the rumor:
It’s out of left field. It’s done. it’s something that never happened
On if the names on the documents were actually family members or people he knew:
(Lawyer steps in and speaks). You gotta look at it this way. How do you defend yourself against a lie on the internet. It’s virtually impossible. The only thing that this unnamed person has come forward with are these documents and if you look at them they don’t make sense. They are cobbled together. There are different documents. We don’t know if they are real or not, I think they are phony. I don’t think anyone has really looked at them or read them. They have the name Marcus Cooper on them, they have the name Joseph Smith and Mariah Johnson but they don’t say anything about child molesting. And it wouldn’t make sense for documents that are from a family court, for anyone to be able to publish them because the law requires that these stay sealed for the safety of the minor children. The courts would never in a million years release documents like that and that’s how we know these are phony.
On if he believes his former Group Members are behind the rumors:
I can’t say that I feel that I do and I can’t say that it ain’t them but we are going to get to the bottom of it. We are investigating it and we will reveal who the perpetrator is real soon.
Lawyer: I don’t like to point fingers publicly, we are above that but I can say that I’m certain I know where these rumors came from. I just can’t talk about it right now because there are legal proceedings going on that that might effect.
Pleasure P: Honestly I don’t want to talk about Pretty Ricky. We don’t have no relationship where I can sit back and talk about Pretty Ricky. I just want to keep it moving and everything on the positive. I have been nominated for three grammys. It’s bee a tough road. These are the things an artist has to go to. It’s a part of me becoming successful. Two successful tours and now I’m nominated for three grammys.
On it being the price of fame:
I’m gonna be honest, I told my publicist Sydney “blogs don’t talk about me, I’m not worried about no blogs”. I got what I asked for but not in a positive way. They see me and Bria around all the time together and say “oh now he’s dating her” and it could be a big part of it too. I don’t know..
On how it is effecting him personally:
If someone tried you like that and you can’t do nothing about it. I feel real hurt about it. I feel like I never got the chance to enjoy the fact that I got nominated for three grammys. Someone took that moment in my life from me. When I am 50 and I think back “Remember In 2009 when I was nominated for three grammys, I had to deal with…” I will always have to remember this situation as I go through life.
I tend to not feel about the stories I cover, but this one is really weighing on my spirit. This just goes to show you that blogs should be looked at entertainment and entertainment only. Leave the real journalism to the news sites.
I still plan to offer up an official and heartfelt apology to Marcus Cooper should the opportunity present itself.
You live and learn.
