Former Blackstreet lead man Teddy Riley’s studio, a spot where Michael Jackson recorded at times, was destroyed by fire.
The Future Records Recording Studios in Virginia Beach, Virginia was due to be sold at auction when Tuesday's (Jun 24) blaze broke out.
The former singer has suffered a variety of financial and legal difficulties in recent years, filing for bankruptcy in 2002. He reportedly still owes over $1 million in unpaid taxes.
Proceeds from the studio auction were to be used to pay off a loan against the property that Riley later defaulted on.
The building first went under the hammer in February (08), but the opening bid of $500,000 was not met.
Do you think this was an accident?

Lady Herndon...damn! U got issues ma! Get a grip! Teddy didn't sell out GUY, GUY sold out GUY! They are ALL guilty of big headedness, Damion included. It's a sad development though, however I'm sure TR had nothing to do with it. He'd have no gain from insurance payout since the studio's not his no more! Wait for facts b4 making such personal & negative conclusions....
No one knows if this is an accident or not ,it won't even be known for the next couple of weeks what actually started this fire,to start false accusations is not right.Teddy doesn't even own this property anymore another company does,so how is this so called insurance pay out going to benefit him?No one knows what wrong Teddy's done in his life for this to happen,this is in no way a so called act if God.I am a Teddy Riley fan and I owe no apologies for it,if Teddy had something to do with that fire then God will deal with him,but wait for the truth before you hand him to the dogs.
Wow, GOD don't like ugly? That's a good one... I strongly believe that GOD has better things to deal with other than Teddy's shortcomings here on earth. I believe that Teddy will deal with that on judgement day. However, I do feel like the fire could be suspect.
That's terrible.
hell no!!!!!!!! YOU SEE GOD DON'T LIKE UGLY WHEN HE BLESSING YOU , HE[S DONE A LOT OF PEOPLE WRONG ALONG THE WAY LIKE (GUY) YOU WERE AT YOUR BEST AND YOU SOLD THEM OUT SHAME ON YOU . NOW LOOK AT YOU ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL I USE TO LOVE TEDDY BUY NOT ANYMORE.
