[edit] Legal troubles

The press picked up on Warren behaving erractic in Memphis on January 3, 2008 after news came that her six album contract with RCA had been shortened to only three albums. The singer was seen randomly shouting at a man who claimed she had gone "pyscho". Both The Sun and News of the World published the interview of the man whos name had been hidden for legal reasons.

News came that Warren was outraged to find only 82% of tickets had been sold at her January 16th concert in San Antonio. On January 15, 2008 the singer attracted more media after her public offences outside of the Emily Morgan Hotel. She threatened to cancel the show but was obliged to carry on due to RCA dropping her. Warren's father, Nathanial Warren gave a statement addressing that the quick death of her mother and the rushed-into-stardom was taking its toll on her mental health.

RCA confirmed that the 2nd February concert in America was to be cancelled. Contrary to this report, the show did go on but was made shorter.

The popular video-sharing site YouTube made a channel for Warren on February 7, 2008. However, Warren made her first post on March 10, 2008 and contraversy erupted after it was clear she was intoxicated. She said: "Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie are Z-list celebrities, they are boring bitches. I hate them all, they only have money because they're blonde bimbos. Erm, I have to say that Mariah Carey's tits are nice, they're everywhere in Touch My Body and I wish I had them." The press said that Warren had been a lesbian. Shortly after YouTube made comments disabled from the video and on March 11, 2008 the video was deleted after 805 views. On March 13, 2008 Mariah Carey said: "I have spoken with Melona and we have become friends and I believe the media should leave her alone."

[edit] Biography

[edit] Early Life

Warren, one of six children, was born in the textile town of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. Warren is the daughter to Jamaican T'Keyah-Albertina Flores and British Nathanial Warren. Warren has said: "my childhood was very bleak, there was hardly anything I could do without being chastised for it. Listening to music was something my mother thought as very bad. She prohibited music, it was during school when I listened to my idols. Many people have inspired me, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Destiny's Child, Oleta Adams, and many more. Even the Sugababes were an inspiration at one point. But, now, in 2007, I seem to be inspired by new artists like Chris Brown, Leona Lewis and Rihanna. I've always loved Boyz II Men, they're fantastic." Warren's father Nathanial lived in Florida where she rarely did see him, however, she does state that there had been many times when she did visit her father and he taught her how to dance from the age of five. She loved Florida and at the age of fifteen she moved there as her mother was being violent towards her. On November 8, 2007 Warren was a special guest on Sunrise, she showed her leg where scars had been left after her mother's brutal attacks. Warren confirmed that her mother had committed suicide on February 11, 2005. Warren also confirmed many other things from her life as a teenager. On March 18, 2004 she gave birth to a daughter whom she called, Georgiana Lilia Whitney Warren. During the interview she said this:

Warren caused contraversial issues over the studio as it was a live airing programme, many people phoned in expressing their pure gratitude for her determination of her daughter. On December 14, 2007, DeShawn Trayger was found and he explained fully that he doesn't want anything to do with Melona or the daughter Georgiana.

[edit] Music Career

[edit] Black Diamond

Melona had been given a record deal in early 2005 with Jive Records, her debut album was supposed to be released in the year of 2006. The death of her mother complicated things and she mentioned on an interview that she wouldn't have any more chances of becoming a singer. Late in 2006, Clive Davis signed her to J Records to see if she'd fit it with the schedule. Unfortunately Davis fired her for being too emotional during studio times. By Christmas of 2006 Warren was desperate financially and she created an alter-ego named Chandice Melko who wrote letters to RCA Records, she eventually sent them a tape of her voice and they were wowed and told her to come along for an audition. She clearly passed and by February 2007 she was making her debut album. Her debut single "A Lotta Love Goes a Long Way" peaked at #2 in the US. The song managed to go to number one in Japan and Germany. Her second single, a heavily influenced club-ready beat, some critics says it is a more R&B beat to Mariah Carey's "Shake It Off" was "Back Now", again it achieved success in the US by peaking at #2, the song was Warren's second number one single in Germany where it stayed at the top for two weeks. On March 12, RCA annouced that "I Know About Her" a duet with Boyz II Men would be the third single from Black Diamond and would be released late April/early May 2008.
