• Ya hear Chingy claims the rumour of him having an affair with a transsexual cost him a record deal?

Chingy told VladTv how the negative press surrounding the story affected his career.
He said: “It goes to show you that that person, who nobody knew, had that much power to come out and say one negative thing about me, and a whole mass of people just instantly took to it. And they didn’t have not one piece of evidence, a clue, nothing,” said Chingy. “I still was good, but everybody else was taking to it. It injured my career a little bit. I watched it happen. I lost a deal because of that.”
