First Tommy, now Clive?!?

Now I know for sure that conspiracy researchers are definitely on to both of these slick MFers. It seems 2013 is going to be the year where record label execs are releasing books to explain AND justify the business decisions they made, good OR bad. neutral

Does anyone think that Jimmy Iovine might have a book out soon as well? hmmm

The only thing I'm shocked about is that he's been with men. That old silver balled pervert looks more like he would molest little boys.

Bout time. Clive has had the worst industry secret for decades now. Everyone either knew or at least heard about it.

Given the underground pederasty sub-culture that exist within the entertainment industry, anything is possible. neutral

I thought it was common knowledge. He gave a shout out to his "partner" during one of his acceptance speeches a while back.

I've always said that the majority of the entertaiment industry is gay/bi. It's a different world for them. They can do whatever the hell they want and not be judged for it. But in the real world gays are ostracized.

Clive is rumored to like little boys. I've read stories of him and other big wigs flying to other countries in search young boys.

I knew it! He just doesn't look like a normal gay or bisexual man. He looks like an old pervert.

I'm glad he came out. It was very brave of him. At his age, he really didn't have to. He could have taken it to his grave. I bet he feels a lot better now that's it's not some big secret. When you tell the truth, it's very healing and cleanses your soul. Its good for younger people who are afraid to come out to see another respected man come out, who doesn't look like one of the characters from Rupaul's Drag race.

I guess next Sean "Puffy"/"Diddy" "PDiddy" Combs will come out, or Mase (his ex-lover) or Nelly, or Tevin Campbell or Lil Wayne or Baby or Will Smith or Usher Raymond or Quincy Jones or Busta Rhymes or Johnny Gill or Arsenio Hall or Eddie Murphy or Narada Michael Walden or Bow Wow or Omarion or Slim of 112 or Lil Zhane or Ray J or Drake or...

I know, right ? Not shocked at all. So, i guess that means, Ray J. was slaying him on the low low (along with the rest of the Cash Money clique, or whatever he was calling his crew) lol !!! Go on, Clive. Do you, i guess. Still don't like you.
