Anita Baker Issued Warrant For Her Arrest By Detroit Police
Anita Baker Issued Warrant For Her Arrest By Detroit Police!
Here’s some shocking news: Anita Baker is wanted by Detroit police.According to reports, authorities issued an arrest warrant for the 56-year-old soul singer after she failed to show up to a court-ordered hearing back in September.Baker’s latest legal issue involves Ray Smith Painting and Decorating, a contractor who claims the eight-time Grammy Award winner failed to pay more than $15,000 for work done at her Grosse Pointe, Mich. home. Their civil suit alleges Baker did not pay for carpentry, plastering and painting work done in 2009.“We certainly would have liked to resolve it before now. We just want to try to get my client his money,” said attorney Daniel Gerow, who claims Baker failed to pay up and appear in court. “We’re not trying to give her any hard time or anything unnecessary. We just would like to collect the money for my client. He’s owed the money, and that could end it all right then.”This isn’t the first time the songstress has had a run in with the law. In 2010, a judge threatened to send her to jail after she refused to sign documents in her divorce dispute. Luckily, she reached a last-minute agreement and avoided time behind bars.Baker, a Detroit native, is best known for songs like “Sweet Love” and “Giving You the Best That I Got.” Her camp has yet to comment on the matter.Just Music-No Categories-Enjoy It! |

Maybe if she releases the album she's been promising for the past 3 years, she can pay her bills. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

There's always talk of a new album but it never seems to materialize.It's very sad because she's a truly talented artist.Anita Baker says she's the victim of a sinister plot which caused cops to get a warrant for her arrest. TMZ broke the story ... a Detroit judge issued the warrant after the Grammy-winning singer failed to show up in court over a dispute with a home contractor. Anita tells TMZ ... she hired Ray Smith Painting and Decorating in 2009 to repair the outside of her home which was damaged by a storm. The cost of the job was $75,000 ... she paid $60K up front. Anita says the guy didn't even finish the job and what he did do sucked so bad ... she got up on a ladder and did the spackling herself. The singer says the contractor had the nerve to file suit for the $15K balance ... problem was, she says she was in the dark because she never got served with legal papers. When Anita was a no-show in court, the judge entered a default judgment. She says still had no idea a case had even been filed. Fast forward to July, 2013. The contractor tried to haul Anita into court and grill her about where she kept her money, so he could go after it to satisfy the judgment. The contractor claims he slapped the notice on her front door. Anita tells us she was on tour and never saw a notice and doesn't believe it was ever placed there. So Anita was a no-show again for that hearing, and on Wednesday the judge issued the arrest warrant. Anita tells us she's in shock, saying, "I've never been in trouble with the law. I'm terrified." She also says this isn't the first time someone has pulled this on her -- someone claiming to serve her with legal papers and then losing the case by default. Anita's lawyer says he's going to court next week to get the warrant lifted and the default judgment set aside. Anita tells us, as far as she's concerned, "There's no justice in the justice system." | |

Still,it sucks that Anita is in the news these days because of nonsense like this.She really needs to get that album finished and start to get her career back on track! She has a loyal fanbase that is starving for new music from her.
