After Pleasure walked away from R'n'B group Pretty Ricky in October, the remaining three members are forced to look for his replacement, which possibly will come up as a reality show. They won't just snatch any talented person and make him a member, but want a guy with rather specific quality.
Telling MTV on the specification, member Baby Blue said, "We want to stay true to the sound. We're a hip-hop and R&B group. The three of us rap, and the fourth member has to be a singer just to keep the music consistent." He added there should be a brother bond that enable the new member to "cope with all our family issues" and that he "got to be a woman magnet".
Later on, MTV also reported that Pleasure (real name Marcus Ramone Cooper) filed a lawsuit against Joseph Smith, head of Bluestar Entertainment, the company where Pretty Ricky was under and the group's management and booking company, International Artist Agency.
The lawsuit stated that Smith "exploited conflict of interests in the competing roles he occupied in Cooper's life", used physical intimidation to Pleasure's friend and that Pleasure has not received proper royalty after his contribution to the group that own two Gold-certified albums.
It was, however, reported that Bluestar which still own a contract with Pleasure also filed a lawsuit against him for breach of contract.
Pleasure aka 'the singing one' is keen on having a solo career, a path that he left upon joining Pretty Ricky in 2005. He will release a studio album in 2008.

you guys no nothing of what you're speaking about. Pleasure is not their brother. He was the only one in the group that was not Joe Smith's son. Joe is the other guys' father although Slick'em has a different mom than the other guys. I know because pleasure is my 1st cousin and we all grew up together. So guys please get your info correct.

ooh,that's why pleasure left he is soo right for dat pleasure don't listen to what they got to say...FUCK YA'll KISS MY ASS
I think that pleasure should have stayed with the group.But,the way the make the group look good it is not always as it seems.I honestly think that the group it nothing without his unqiue voice.
i think that it's good that pleasure p went aboout his buniess and his own daddy is going this to him i think that is fuck up just he's not with the group!!!!!!!!!
I was told in the past about the terms of this deal. If Pleasure didn't know about them then I think I would have been in jail right now if I was him ( I would have killed someone). If he did know, it was his foot in the door with his boys... he's what made Pretty Ricky. Also, he had every right to leave... BRIANNA if you knew the deal he got you would be feeling bad for all the boys.. If they would walked out on the contract together they wouldn't have been allowed to sign with anyone.. This is actually the first step in everyone leaving or the terms of the contract being fixed. You should thank Mr. P, because he is enabling the contract to be made right for his boys that he claimed are his brothers.. So, he is doing them a favor.. The original Pretty Ricky isn't together so now the contract is more flexible.. The sad thing is that I don't think he'll get the money because of what was on that contract. None of them will... They will never live up to how many albums they signed for before they get paid.... I don't even think Mariah Carey has done that (the # of albums they signed for).
I DONT THINK THAT HE SHOULD HAVE WALKED OUT ON U GUYS CUZ THAT WASNT COOL U GUYS ARE BROTHERS AND IT SHOULD HAVE STAYED THAT WAY IMNOT SAYIN THAT THE GROUP AINT GONE BE GOOD I KNOW THAT U GUYS ARE GOIN TO BE GOOD AND NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS IMMA STILL LOVE PRETTY RICKY BUT IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME WITHOUT PLEASURE BUT I GUESS U GUYS CAN MAKE IT BETTER:-)
Why did Pleasure walk out on u yall
