I know one Fantasia's uncles.

I also met her when she was child.

The uncle and his brothers, (Barrino Brothers) were basically a backup singing group for either Motown or Invictus records in the 60's-70's. They never made it to "fame" status. Most of them turned to drugs and have been in and out of rehab for years. I can't recall if her dad was into drugs, so I won't say that for sure but....

So IMO he is just wanting the $$$$$. Jodeci are also Barrino's cousins and the Barrino Bros. also tried to resurrect themselves through them too at one time, IIRC.

Just a quick reading of the article left me with that impression. Thanks for confirming it.
