Lisa Maffia Dropped Rumours
LISA MAFFIA has been dumped by her record label � after releasing just two
singles.
The singer, who went solo after finding fame with SO SOLID CREW, has been axed
after her last release, In Love, limped to just No13 last August.
Now Lisa�s bosses at Independiente have decided they will not plough cash into a debut album.
An insider told me: �In Love really failed to set the charts alight � and Lisa�s label haven�t got the money to lavish on an album that won�t sell.�
In Love was a huge disappointment after the success of Lisa�s debut single All Over last May, which went to No2.
She went on to win Best Garage Act at the Mobo Awards in September.
My source added: �I�m sure this will not be the last we hear of Lisa Maffia. I�ve no doubt that she�ll bounce back from this.�
Before going solo, Lisa enjoyed a string of hits with So Solid Crew.
She topped the charts with the controversial garage group�s debut single 21 Seconds in August 2001.
Their second single, They Don�t Know, reached No3 and the album of the same
name charted at No6 at the end of 2001.
But So Solid haven�t released a single since September after G-MAN � their
driving force � got four years� jail for possession of a firearm.
Down
Rumours say Down could be the next single

Come Home Now - 11/09/03
POP star Lisa Maffia yesterday issued a tearful plea for the safe return of a 13-year-old fan missing from home for more than a week..
The singer almost broke down as she assured runaway schoolgirl Asata Budd: �You�re definitely not in any trouble.�
She begged the girl: �Come home because it isn�t a safe world out there.�
Lisa, 24, who found fame with garage act So Solid Crew, pledged: �I�ll be there for your first call. When you come home you can get in touch with me.
�It�s totally important that you put your family out of their misery � and me, because I�m totally panicked about you being missing.�
Asata, who lives in Bournemouth with her grandmother, was last seen getting off a night bus in West London ten days ago.
She had been staying with her aunt in Woodford Green, Essex.
Lisa was joined by the frantic gran and aunt at nearby Ilford police station.
As the women collapsed in tears, the star hugged them � before leaving the press conference early, too upset to answer questions.
Supt Bryan Horsley said of Asata: �She�s a happy girl with no apparent problems her family can identify. Her disappearance is totally out of character.�

One man's been shot dead and another has been seriously injured in a shooting at a club in Central London.
The two men - who are thought to be bouncers - were attacked at Turnmills nightclub in Farringdon. Twice As Nice were
hosting the night and although So Solid's Lisa Maffia was meant to appear she pulled out at the last minute.
A spokesperson for Scotland Yard said armed officers from Operation Trident were called to the scene.
It's still unclear whether the double shooting happened in the club itself or close by.Turnmills was the scene of a previous shooting and the club's owners have worked closely with the police to combat drug dealers.
So Solid Crew's Lisa Maffia has a new single out next month, and she features in this month's Vogue.
She's modelled before for Elle with the other girls from the crew, but she said she wasn't sure about doing the Vogue shoot until she found out who the photographer was:
"When I heard that I was going Vogue I was like, 'I don't know if I want to do this' because if I'm modelling for that magazine I know it's gonna be model make-up, model clothes, and I'm like, 'ew!'"
"But they said to me, 'But Lisa, it's Mario Testino'"
"And I was like, 'Wow! Okay, alright then, I'm there. Cool, alright, cool!"
Mario Testino's a favourite photographer among celebs - in the past he's snapped Madonna, Robbie Williams, Gwyneth Paltrow and most of the world's supermodels.
She's been known as The First Lady of So Solid, the Jewel in the Crown and the 24-Carat Princess. She's perfectly blended sweetness and streetness on the melodic choruses that have taken her group to the top.

"So my manager said to me but Lisa it's Mario Testino, and I'm like wow OK, alright then, I'm there, cool."
