This black R&B singer is well respected by fans and peers but there is a dark side. He’s very aloof and arrogant with a chip on his shoulder and he lacks any kind of humor and he’s extremely violent towards women. He beat his ex-wife on the regular as well as his various mistresses. It was rumored that his ex-wife and mistress were in the hospital at the same time getting treated for bruises he had inflicted. His wife not only got a big divorce settlement but he paid her an additional settlement ‘if she didn’t reveal the years of physical abuse she suffered in the divorce papers.’ He didn’t want that information to become public knowledge because it would ruin his image and alienate his female fan base.
