Real Hip Hop Network CEO Atonn Muhammad today responds to a recent press release which presented information on RHNMedia (Pink Sheets:RHNA) that is factually and materially incorrect. The press release, put out by RMD Entertainment, states that RHN has been acquired by RMD Entertainment. This statement is completely false. RHN is and continues to be under the leadership of Atonn Muhammad who is also the majority shareholder in the company. Mr. Muhammad has not nor does he have any intention of resigning from the company he has led since its inception.

Real Hip Hop Network CEO Atonn Muhammad says: "The Hip Hop community has worked hard to gain a foothold and respect in the business community. We will not allow this community to be torn apart by persons who are in it only for the money and not for the betterment of the community at large. We have issued a `Cease and Desist'' demand on RMD Entertainment and will be pursuing appropriate legal action against him for his actions."
