According to New York’s Daily News, talks are circulating that the superstar may be replacing his current manager, Benny Medina, with his mom, Jonetta Patton. Despite his latest effort Here I Stand selling debuting at the number 1 slot on the charts and selling 433,000 in its first week earlier this year, sources say he was still upset at the totals.
