  • Singer, songwriter, business woman, record producer and music executive Pebbles was born Perri Arlette McKissack in Oakland, California. The name Pebbles, she told the Los Angeles Times in 1988, was bestowed upon her as a child by her godfather. He got it from a character on the animated sitcom The Flintstones. She admits that even though she doesn’t look like Pebbles, the name stuck and became a part of her.

    Pebbles was beautiful but cold blooded. What she did to Vanessa Williams was a trip. The record changed her life but thankfully Williams was able to bounce back. The thing with TLC wasn't their deal it was the fact that Pebbles didn't wanna renegotiate the deal. Those kinds of deal are standard after a successful debut you're supposed to renegotiate Pebbles didn't wanna do that thus led to them not making as money as they should've. TLC made money but if you make 75 mil and only see 300 thousand after its all said and done something ain't right.

    That happens a lot in the music industry. Music producers or executives will promise a song to one artist and then go behind their back and give it to someone else without telling the original artist it was promised to. It’s usually done in a very dirty underhanded shady way. Take for instance Leona Lewis. Calvin Harris offered the song “We Found Love”to her but then ditched her for Rihanna. The fucked up part about it is that Leona already recorded the song and was expecting to release it. Neither Calvin nor Rihanna felt any shame in taking it because they deemed her as beneath Rihanna in terms of star power. Another good example is Jennifer Lopez and Chante’ Moore. Rodney Jerkins gave Chante’ a song called “ If I Gave You Love”. Diddy heard it and demanded that the song be given to Jennifer. Jennifer had such a machine around her so much so that Chante’ couldn’t fight it. That’s how we ended up with “ If You Had My Love”.

    There’s something very narcissistic and mean-spirited about that woman. She’s a beautiful woman, but the issue is.. she knows it and I think it caused her to always feel very entitled.
    I know biopics aren’t always 100 percent true… some things are tweaked, left out or thrown in for creative liberties. However, that scene where Pebbles is instantly jealous of Chilli’s beauty and accuses chilli of being “threatened by her” when pebbles was the one who was threatened… I believe that happened. Pebbles does seem like the type who cannot stand any type of competition.

      I think, and someone can correct me if I'm wrong, the defamation suit was more about some of the dramatic parts added into the TLC movie. Either way, I don't think she'll own up to it soon unless she wants some attention. I know this because she blocked me on Twitter just a few months ago for resharing an old meme about her in the TLC movie😂 Pebbles can't face reality because she was so used to getting her way fron her looks. Even now, her and her false doctrine just lying on God and His word will get her in trouble. Pride comes before the fall, and her fall was and is great and mighty just like her pride.

      Pebbles is born hustler from hustle-town USA, Oakland CA. Folks around her taught her that her looks and game could get her far and that's wha she did, used her game to get in the music biz (snatching Vanessa Williams song), getting $$$ and paying to produce her own work and edit her videos and basically making her own way. She became successful through her hustle obvious not her decent but limited singing talent. She wasn't trying to be Whitney or ther pro vocalists, she was trying to get paid.

    T-Boz and Left Eye were not responsible for tryna kick Chilli out. If you’re a real TLC fan, you remember a special they did years ago when Lisa first passed called What It’s Like on VH1. T-Boz wasn’t even at the auditions for the replacement girl because her mother drop a bed on her foot that same day and cut her toe off. I’ll never forget the special. Chilli had braids in, they were in Atlanta visiting all their old spots like the skating rink, Kandi was on it in the studio with them because she wrote “Girl Talk” from the 3D album. They even visited their old jobs like the salon and the restaurant.

    A story on rap group US3 best known for their hit Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia) would be very interesting

    She looks similar to Beyoncé. But she played other younger artists.

      Ew. Beyonce would kill (literally) to look like Pebbles

      It's the other way around because Pebbles was way before Beyonce's time.
