I will die if all that tea Pebble has been spilling is true. This coincides with it.

You can sleep with someone and 20 years later it can still come back and bite you in the ass. SMH.

Drops a spot to No. 97 on the Billboard 200. Sister Perry's unselfishness, speaking out about the group, helped it hang on.

ALLEGEDLY! If there are no receipts, then it's just a rumor. Hell, Pebbles herself couldn't even give a firm answer with her "confidentiality agreements" and what she "believes" to have happened.

TLC May Have Been Dropped From Epic Records — Is Pebbles Feud To Blame?Posted by Jacques Peterson on 11/21/2013 at 8:16 AM News It looks like TLC may have already been dropped from Epic Records — a mere four months after signing a new deal with the label. Although not officially confirmed yet, a TLC fansite pointed out on Twitter that the group’s name has been removed from Epic’s roster, while the label’s logo no longer appears on TLC’s own website. The duo only signed a fresh deal with Epic back in July to release their greatest hits compilation, 20, and new single, “Meant To Be.” In October, TLC confirmed to MTV that they were working on a new studio album with L.A. Reid, due for release in early 2014, and a couple of days after that, CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story premiered on VH1 to record ratings. It sounds like things couldn’t have possibly been going any better for TLC. After so much success, why would L.A. Reid (the same man who brought Ciara over to Epic Records at the lowest point in her career) pull the plug on a legendary act like TLC so suddenly? Oh, hang on a minute: L.A. Reid is the ex-husband of Pebbles, who is currently engaged in a very public feud with TLC over her portrayal in their VH1 biopic! Are we seeing a possible connection here? Of course, we’re just speculating. We don’t know for sure if TLC were even dropped yet, and the whole Pebbles thing is just a theory we came up with because we couldn’t think of any other viable reason for Epic to ditch the girl group at this point in time (Please don’t sue us, Pebbles!).

Even if they were dropped from Epic due to Pebbles, it's still not proof of an affair back in the day. It could be as simple as LA not wanting to be associated with the defamation case that Pebbles is boasting about in regards to the movie.

I'm sure another label wouldn't mind signing them, I just hope they offer a decent contract. Oh and Pebbles is still f**king up these girls money 20 years later *sigh* SMH.
Oh and I doubt that they were "dropped" if anything they asked L.A. for a release

They're performing NO SCRUBS on DANCING WITH THE STARS. The special guest on the AMAs is LIL MAMA.

Not much of a "surprise" guest, I guess.

I dunno maybe Tboz will have a burst of energy Sunday and it wont be awkward and embarrassing. I know Chili will deliver and probably Lil Mama too.

they would get buzz if they did a simple elegant performance sitting down to Unpretty. do an anti bully kinda video montage thing in the background. we all know the No Scrubs performance isn't going to be good

YAYY!!! Although I was not worried about them being signed by another label, I think LaFace is the best label for TLC to be on. Whew that was a close one, for a minute there I thought we wouldn't get another TLC album.

That performance, wtf. The visuals were nice, T-Boz actually seemed interested, and Chilli looked as amazing as ever. All was going well.
Then Lil' Mama completely butchers Lefteye's verse? Hell no. Adding insult to injury is the fact that Chilli didn't get a solo singing spot but that D-Lister got to own 50% of the performance. What were they thinking??

They're getting ripped apart on Twitter. I don't think people were really into TLC putting out an album without Left Eye all the way back in 2002, and they really don't seem into one now.

Tionne is too big to be in all white next to Chilli and Lil Mama. And she looked bored. Lil Mama ruined the rap. Disappointing. I was rooting for her. Chilli looked like she was having the time of her life...as usual.

Tionne is too big to be in all white next to Chilli and Lil Mama. And she looked bored. To be fair it looks like Tionne has lost weight compared to a month or so ago. She seemed more agile than I was expecting, too. Why was she on stage with the other two from the get-go anyway? Hell, I'm not one of those fans who's 'mad' at T&C but Lil' Mama should have had a backseat until her "guest appearance." Right? Instead of the rap, they should have phased into "No Scrubs." Would have been more fair and less polarizing. Nothing wrong with a medley!

I was really excited to see them but that performance was dull, uninspired, lipped and then Lil Mama couldnt even deliver a half decent rap, she sounds a fucking hot mess....its clear to me the appeal of TLC would never have been great without the personality and energy that Left Eye brought. They just lacking now more than I thought since they are the definition of a group and not one bitch in charge kinda group.

Lisa is barely featured on MOST of TLC's catalog. Her absence isn't the problem.

I didn't think it was that bad. I think the song is just boring to do live. The worst part was Lil Mama's messy rapping.
I'm glad there was new choreography. I always loved when they added a different beat to the rap.

Instead of trying to bring a replacement front & center all of the time, whether it be Lil' Mama, O'So Krispie, or a Japanese pop star, why don't T-Boz & Chilli focus on their OWN legacy?! Re-brand as a midtempo R&B duo and honor Left Eye by MAKING GOOD MUSIC! I feel if T&C put out modern equivalents of songs like "Red Light Special" or "Diggin' On You" they'd have Urban AC support. If they throw some bass and maybe a Drake or J. Cole appearance, there's potential for some Urban/Rhythmic crossover as well. They just need to understand that 1) their Pop staple days are over and 2) Left Eye can never be replaced. Tionne & Rozonda, if you're reading this, please stop re-creating inspirational Pop songs ["Meant To Be" is not a sign of good musical direction] and for heaven's sake STOP bringing out Left Eye substitutes. Instead, work with what you still DO have to your advantage. It's still a lot!
