Madge Ca$hes In

Filed under: Madonna

Madonna has sold her Maverick Records label to Warner Music. The label, which she founded 12 years ago, included such artists as Alanis Morissette and Prodigy. This sale comes on the heels of a rumour that Madge will be leaving Warner after her contract expires upon completion of her next album. Cuz she wants (and deserves) more money.

      Hmm. Who cares? Madonna is older than dirt, and her last album was trash. Her time is over.

      Madonna might be downsizing and wanting to focus on her family. Nothing wrong with simplifying as you get older; less to worry about.

      madonna sold her part in Maverick back in 2004. The remaining partners were Guy Oseary and other partners. Delaware suits were filed by both Maverick and WBR (counter suits). This is old news as it is stated. The real news may be that the remaining partners sold out to WBR.

      So, where will she go next? Honestly, she should just make another label of her own.

      Oh Perez! You really should do more research before posting your nonsense. Madonna sold her stake in Maverick about two or three years ago. It has nothing to do with her current contractual options. You are truly a representation of all that is wrong with the internet. You steal your sources, you credit no one, you are illiterate and you think it's acceptable to "report"…Where is your code of ethics as a "journalist"? You are vile and a very sad symbol of the downfall of culture as it once was.

      Madonna sold Maverick in 2002 after the legal wranglings with Warner over misappropriation of funds. Guy, bought her shares out after Freddy sold his stake before she did.

      Check your facts guys! Madonna didn't sell all of her shares in Maverick five years ago…. This deal however sees the rest sold now to Warner.

      And as for her last album being trash. I bet every other artist would be happy to have their album described as trash - and then selling millions in the process. Jealousy is such a nasty trait!!!!

      Perhaps, concentrating on her music career is far better than having a record label of her own. Keep making good music then Madge!

      Whats with all the Madonna bashing in here? SHe has made an honest living, and the market place has voted with their dollars, Madonna deserves everything she earns. Grow-UP people!

      Maverick is the msot successful record company by a recording star. Maverick produced the best-selling album of the 90s by Alanis (Jagged Little Pill), the 7M-selling Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie by Alanis, the multi-platinum records Erotica, Bedtime Stories, Ray of Light and Music by MADONNA, the mega sellers by Michelle Branch and Deftones. Madonna could be relinquishing control but she made a mark as CEO of this recoriding company.

      This happened years ago. The current news is that Maverick's assets are currently frozen because the label is going under. This comes directly from several people who work there, as well as a band I know personally. Why not report that?

    54. Ugh says – reply to this


      54

      She hasn't produced a decent lick of music since the early 80s, and you think she deserves more money? For what, exactly? Why are you kissing up to her? She's disgusting.

    55. Madonna's Legacy says – reply to this


      55

      People do vote with their dollars and I am proud to say that I have NEVER bought anything that Madonna put out. Her real legacy is the abundance of pole dancing std startlets. "I am woman, see me porn". She is such a hypocrite there are times I wish I could spit in her face. See, see Madonna, look what your legacy really produced. Sluts galore! You go girl!
