Anita Baker, Melanie Fiona Circa 2012

Has one of our parent’s favorite artists gotten herself into some trouble? Reportedly, Anita Baker has an arrest warrant in Detroit. The Grammy-winning singer, who lives in Detroit, has a bench warrant issued for her. According to TMZ,  the 56-year-old failed to show up to court for a hearing in her current legal battle with a paint and decorating company. It’s widely reported that Ray Smith Painting and Decorating has sued the singer, claiming she owes the company $15,000 for services it performed inside her Grosse Pointe home — and so far, hasn’t paid. There’s no word on why Ms. Anita refused to pay the company. She hasn’t responded to reports yet, but tweeted the following message:

WHATTT??!!… sittin’ in the kitchen watching this on TV. BIG time crazy. Atty on his way to TV Station. Devil sho is busy.

Guess she sounds a bit surprised. Story developing.

    I just didn’t think the reference to age was not needed.

      My parents, along with a lot of my friends’ parents, love Anita Baker. I grew up listening to her. We tend to list most people’s age. It wasn’t meant to be a personal jab.

        Wow!! If it wasn’t a jab it was not necessary to say. Most people age is are not listed.

          Thank you.I didn’t respond back because I didn’t want to seem like I was going back and forth with her.And I don’t usually see ages either.I just felt like the story could have been told without saying her age.

    they put almost everybodys age on all their stories. Stop being so sensitive. And if u don’t like it there are like a million other sites u can take ur age police eyeballs too. weirdo.

    You are absolutely right.There are other sites.And there is where you should be.We don’t name call on this site.Everyone that comments here respects one another.

    Really…ok, that was all so unnecessary & immature! If Jasmine wants to segway into a story that way, it’s her perogative! Obviously, she’s younger than Ms. Anita Baker so she was calling it like she sees it. There was no harm in that! C’mon Anonymous, that was a petty thought that should’ve stayed in your mind. Some things are better left unsaid :-). This is one of the most classiest and respectful sites there is. It’s not that serious!

    If you really want you can look the other way and not talk about it. The real truth comes with being honest with yourself and your goals. This will lead to a sad and unfulfilling life.
