Kolin Dhillon with his “friend” Prince Charles

Why the shock? why the surprise? Like father like son….hilarious…….SMH

An Asian polo club member referred to by the Prince of Wales as “Sooty” has said Charles has “zero prejudice”.

Kolin Dhillon said the nickname used by his friend was a “term of affection with no offence meant or felt”.

He said it was also used by other members at the Cirencester Park Polo club in Gloucestershire.

The story emerged days after Prince Harry apologised for using the word “Paki” to describe a member of his army platoon in 2006.

Clarence House refused to comment on the polo club story but said suggesting Charles was racist was “completely ridiculous”.

Kolin Dhillon you are a FOOL!!!!!

A part of me believes that deep down you know the nickname “sooty” is totally unacceptable and isn’t really being used as a “term of affecton”.  But I guess the idea of being banished outside of the Royal circle frightens the life out of you, so you keep your mouth shut, smile, convince yourself that it isn’t racist and will defend the Prince like a loyal dog.

If the Prince and his cronies are calling you ‘sooty’ to your face then Lord knows what they are calling you behind your back!

Do you really think they see you as an equal Kolin????

It’s time to stop burying your head in the sand you FOOL!!!

ISLAND/DEF JAM SOURCE HITS BACK AT JERMAINE DUPRI

In response to Jermaine Dupri’s interview with Essence.com, an Island/Def Jam source has come forward and disclosed the following……

Via Page Six:

“After [his girlfriend] Janet Jackson’s album and tour bombed, he basically didn’t come back to work. He still collected a paycheck, but didn’t bother to do anything that he was supposed to do, like find artists, release records or actually show up.

Executives tried to talk to him, but he just lost heart.” Dupri was widely blamed for Jackson’s album flop as he insisted on letting her get her way on song selection and production of the release, “Discipline.”

The spy adds, “Very few producers have turned into good executives, with the exception of Dr. Dre.” A rep for Dupri’s boss, Island/Def Jam head L.A. Reid, declined to comment.

I can believe this!

But give it 6 months, I bet Jermaine will be sitting pretty in a newly “created” executive position.

JERMAINE DUPRI DISAPPOINTED IN L.A REID

Jermaine Dupri talks about his current ‘non-existant’ relationship with Universal Music Group President L.A Reid.

Dupri was recently fired as President of Island Records Urban Music division.  

Via Essence

ESSENCE.COM: Was it an amicable parting?

DUPRI: I haven’t spoken to L.A. [Reid] in three months. I don’t know if it’s amicable [considering] that they claim they put me out. I feel like it’s not amicable. Don’t lie, be real about the situation. It goes back to their having the attitude of let’s try and do something that’s going to hurt this person, because if it hurts us we have nowhere to go after this, but he does and has at least another 20 more years in this business. Again, if L.A. [Reid] gets fired, there will be at least another ten people who will also get fired and we’ll never see them again. Def Jam is like one big clique.

ESSENCE.COM: Although it’s been three months since you’ve spoken to L.A. Reid, would you be open to reconciliation?

DUPRI: I don’t know. I saw a side of him that I had never seen before and that to me was a jealous side. I don’t know if I should be around people who are jealous of me. Mariah Carey sold more records in that entire Def Jam building and all of that was through my singles; so I’m looking like the golden boy. I only started thinking about it after I left.

I am having a hard time believing that L.A Reid was jealous of him.

The reality is that Jermaine under performed as an executive (e.g.  the  Janet Jackson project / new artists that he discovered via YouTube who surprise surprise failed to blow up) and that is why they let him go. 

Island Records/Def Jam has wasted enough money and is practically on it’s knees as it is. 

Why bother to continue shelling out huge salaries on individuals who lack real executive experience and who fail to bring in results?

Rapper Jim Jones is stepping back in to the corporate music world by becoming Vice President of A&R at Koch Records.

Jim previously served as President of A&R at Warner Music but was later relieved of his duties due to poor performance.

But don’t watch that! My Jim Jim has been given a second chance and this time I know he will flourish in this new role.

Jim said in a released statement:  

“It feels good to know that the hard work has been recognized by the same people that have helped me get to this point in my career,” Jones said. “They recognize that I’m not only an artist but a person that can smell talent and be able to mold a superstar.”

UK NEWS: PRINCE HARRY’S RACIST TERM SPARKS ANGER

Oh dear, oh dear… the proverbial has hit the fan now! SMH

Via BBC News

Prince Harry’s racist remark about a Pakistani member of his army platoon has prompted widespread criticism.

The prince issued an apology after the News of the World published a video diary in which he calls one of his then Sandhurst colleagues a “Paki”.

Politicians and Muslim groups are among those to have condemned the prince’s remarks.

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg said the words would have caused “considerable offence”, while Tory leader David Cameron said it was “a completely unacceptable thing to say”.

Aki Nawaz, musician and political activist, said: “It’s absolutely disgusting and I think he should be dismissed from the MoD. We don’t accept these things, we’ve had to live with this for 40 years.”

A man told BBC Radio Five Live the cadet concerned was his nephew, Ahmed Raza Khan, from Pakistan, who served with Prince Harry at Sandhurst for one year as a Commonwealth cadet.

Iftikhar Raja said his nephew, now a captain in the Pakistani army, would have risen above such terms and had not mentioned the incident to his family.

Mr Raja said: “At no time he told us that he was called Paki or he was a good friend of Prince Harry, I mean, although they served together that is true.

“But I myself am a British subject, I am proud to be British and if someone called me Pakistani I would be proud to be called that, but Paki is definitely a derogatory remark.”

He added: “We expect better from our Royal Family on whom we spend millions and millions of pounds for training and schooling.”

Captain Ahmed Raza Khan graduated with Harry from Sandhurst in 2006 receiving a special award from the Queen for being the best overseas officer cadet.

Prince Harry’s publicity team are working hard to convince us that what Harry said was in jest, that he and Ahmed were ”friends”. 

They are killing me today LOL!!!

We don’t believe you, you need more people!!!!!

The reality is they just served in the Army together. END OF!  There was no friendship and Harry just thought of Ahmed as being a lowly Commonwealth subject/”Paki”.  

And I am baffled as to why Mr Raja (Ahmed’s uncle) would “expect better from our Royal Family”.

You need to wake up and smell the coffee mate! Why does any of this come as a shock?

UK NEWS: PRINCE HARRY APOLOGISES FOR RACIST REMARKS

Prince Harry apologises for using offensive language to describe an Asian member of his army platoon.

The News of the World said it had a video of the army lieutenant calling a colleague a “Paki” while pretending to make a phonecall to the Queen.

A statement from St James Palace said he did so three years ago as a nickname about a friend and without any malice.

The video reportedly shows Harry while still an officer cadet at Sandhurst military academy.

It was filmed in front of other cadets at an airport departure lounge as they waited for a flight to Cyprus to go on manoeuvres.

The newspaper said the prince had called the soldier “our little Paki friend”.

A statement from St James’s Palace said: “Prince Harry fully understands how offensive this term can be, and is extremely sorry for any offence his words might cause.

“However, on this occasion three years ago, Prince Harry used the term without any malice and as a nickname about a highly popular member of his platoon.

“There is no question that Prince Harry was in any way seeking to insult his friend.” Continue Reading…..

Oh please! LOL!!!! 

I bet he says a lot worse behind closed doors, and has a crisp white Klan’s uniform hanging at the back of his wardrobe.
