  • Dolly Parton Breaks Silence Amid Sister’s Prayer Request Scare: “I Ain’t Dead Yet”

    Dolly Parton Breaks Silence Amid Sister’s Prayer Request Scare: “I Ain’t Dead Yet”

    Dolly Parton has broken her silence amid her sister asking for prayers for the singer.

    Parton released a video on social media where she cleared up a few things. “I know lately everybody thinks that I am sicker than I am,” she said. “Do I look sick to you? I’m working hard here!”

    The singer added she wanted to “put everybody’s mind at ease, those of you that seem to be real concerned.” She also assured fans she’s OK and revealed she has some problems to deal with.

    Parton added that after the death of her husband, Carl Dean, she didn’t take care of herself and that she let “a lot of things go.” She said, “When I got around to it, the doctor said, ‘We need to take care of this, we need to take care of that.’” She added, “Nothing major, but I did have to cancel some things so I could be closer to home.”

    Parton then clarified, “I wanted you to know that I’m not dying! I’m not ready to die yet. I don’t think God is through with me, and I ain’t done working.”

    Parton’s video comes after her sister, Freida Parton, asked fans for prayers on her sister’s behalf. On Facebook, she wrote, “Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been led to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and prayer with me.”

    The post ended with, “She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you!”

    Last month, Dolly Parton opened up about her health on social media, which led to the postponement of her Las Vegas shows.
    “As many of you know, I’ve been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures,” she said. “I am not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see, and the show that you deserve to see. You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you.”

    Parton will still be able to have her shows, she said that she needs “a little time to get show ready.”

  • Chandler Moore Files A Lawsuit Against Maverick City Music’s CEO Amid Departure

    Chandler Moore Files A Lawsuit Against Maverick City Music’s CEO Amid Departure

    Chandler Moore has filed a lawsuit against Maverick City Music’s CEO, Norman Gyamfi. He has accused him of allegedly stealing millions of dollars of royalties.

    Moore’s lawsuit was filed on Wednesday, Oct. 1, in an Atlanta Federal Court. Moore announced he was no longer part of the group and that he would focus on solo projects.

    In his lawsuit, the singer named several corporate entities; however, the focus is on Gyamfi, who was Moore’s manager before he acquired an ownership stake in Maverick City Music.

    “Moore reposed great trust and confidence in and accepted Gyamfi’s guidance in his business and financial decisions,” the lawsuit states. “Gyamfi, however, abused his power and the trust that Moore bestowed upon him.”

    The lawsuit goes on to say that Gyamfi had been “self-dealing” starting in 2021, “when he brokered the sale of Maverick City Music’s masters to Sony distribution arm The Orchard without telling Moore or disclosing that he would receive a commission from the deal,” as reported by Billboard.”

    Moore also accused Gyamfi of directing Essential Music Publishing, Sony’s Christian music publishing division, to give all of the singer’s songwriting royalties to the group, which Moore also accused the group’s CEO of forging his signature on the agreement.

    Chandler Moore signed his final contract with Maverick City Music in 2024, revealing that he has “fulfilled his obligations by writing new music and completing a tour.” Moore claims that Gyamfi and his associates took more than $800,000 in royalties under the agreement.

    Moore is suing Gyamfi for breach of contract, forgery, and conversion. He’s currently seeking financial damages and a court order to void all of his contracts with Maverick City Music.

    Moore’s departure announcement went along with another member of the group, Naomi Raine, who also announced her departure from the group.
