Some call Atlanta the new Black Hollywood. African-Americans with money are steady setting up shop in the A. In the past decade, the city has welcomed film makers, entertainment execs, and just about everyone that loves the city for it’s party scene and beautiful scenery. But lately some of the A’s favorite and most well-known entertainers are experiencing some money issues.

Check this out:

From L to R: Slim, Q, Daron, and Mike

Micheal Keith, former member of the R&B group 112, recently told EUR’s Lee Bailey that the that he and Marvin “Slim” Scandrick fell out with another member of the band over a mishandling of funds – which left either Quinnes Parker (“Q”) or Daron Jones as the alleged guilty party.

“I had to leave because I found out that a certain member of the group took my publishing check,” Keith told Bailey in October. “It was made clear that it was intended for myself and another member, Slim.”

During an interview this week on WVEE V-103’s Frank and Wanda Morning Show, Q directly addressed Mike’s accusation of theft.

“It comes down to something very simple,” he said. “As recently as last week we went to court about this very topic and I was exonerated.”

“All of the guys from 112 are like my brothers, and I have nothing but love for them,” he added. “I may not agree with what Mike is saying, but I respect his right to speak his mind.”

As for Mike’s statement that he left the group, Q said, “If 112 is broken up, its news to me. We have been doing shows over the last year; as recent as last weekend!”

Added Parker, “I agree with Mike on a lot of the things he says. This group is like a marriage, a family, and when there are problems in the family, you work together to try and resolve that. I wish that was something Mike would do.” (Source)

Somehow we believe these guys can work through this.
