Q&A: Atlantic Records wants to PIMP 14 year old actress! How do you feel about this?

Question by William C: Atlantic Records wants to PIMP 14 year old actress! How do you feel about this?
Keke Palmer, is the 14 year old girl who played Akeelah, in the movie, Akeelah and the Bee. She and her mother Sharon have a huge problem with the upcoming record deal they signed with Atlantic Records in March of 2006. The problem is that the record label wants to market the 14 year old as a sexpot but she does not want that image.

Keke admits “From the very beginning Atlantic’s A&R representative tried to get me to record inappropriate music, and my parents and I resisted.”

Soon Keke and her mom became tired of fighting the negative images that the label kept trying to force on her, and they started looking for a management company that could deal with the situation. They settled on DAS Entertainment, a management company out of New York.(John Legend label. One problem, the label has been blocking the efforts!
