Add this entry to Your Favorites | [0] Favorites [22] Comments

Christian Voice Magazine recently reported that Naomi Sego told their reporters that she had received a letter from former members Kasey Kemp and Judson Horner stating that they now owned the Sego name and that she would have to quit using the name. CVM also provided documentation of Kemp and Horner jointly registering "the Segos" as an LLC (Limited Liability Company) on April 28, 2008, in the state of North Carolina, with Judson Horner listed as the "initial registrant." Additionally, the web domain, http://www.thesegos.com , was registered on April 15, 2008. Judson Horner is listed as the registrant for the domain.

Today, Vine Records, issued a press release where Naomi is quoted as saying, ""Contrary to recent misrepresentations, Kasey, Judson and I are on good terms. They are like sons to me and have never threatened me. The Sego name and rights are not and have not been in jeopardy. These boys have been an integral part of this group on multiple levels, and we have enjoyed our years on the road and writing this final chapter together. We will be promoting this recording together and doing interviews together. We may even do a few last stands together on select dates. I am grateful for all of these years and excited to be ending the group on a high note with this album. I will continue to travel as long as I can get up and get on the road. It's what I've done for so many years, and ministry is what I love to do."

Christian Voice Magazine had this to say about the above statements, "To say that we've misrepresented anything regarding this matter is completely and utterly false. We have published nothing but the facts. Every interview, every investigation and every phone call regarding this issue has been well documented. We continue to fully stand behind every report we've made."

In addition to reporting the above statement, Vine Records announced the release of the final project from Naomi & the Segos which includes former members Kemp and Horner. The recording, produced by Wayne Haun and Kevin Ward, entitled Happy Ending, will hit shelves nationwide on June 24th, distributed by Crossroads Entertainment and Marketing.

UPDATE:

SGN spoke to Naomi Sego today in regards to a few questions concerning recent events. When asked if Christian Voice Magazine had ever misrepresented anything in their news reports or statements attributed to her, she stated, "No, I was not misrepresented." When asked if she did receive a letter telling her to stop using the Sego name she replied, "One of the boys had left his car at my house, when they came to pick up the car, the letter was left in my back door." She confirmed that there was a time when the use of the name was in question, but upon recent counsel with her son the situation has been resolved and the parties are now working together. Naomi also stated she has no plans to retire and she has not decided the future of the Naomi and The Segos group.

This entire situation is rediculous. I you and the media would put forth this much effort in reaching lost souls the kingdom of God would be growing. Satan is enjoying this party. Think 'Christian" media should change it's format and be printed on newspaper and sold in the check out line at a supermarket. The is Satan influence Trash not Christian at all
