In a recent interview with Los Angeles radio host El Piolín, ex-Kumbia AllStarz member Pee Wee dropped a bombshell by implying that his contract with EMI Music was forged.

The former "face" of the popular boy band also declared he is eager to please his fans with a new solo record.

Below is a transcript of his remarks, translated into English.

My mother's and my own signatures led to contracts not just with with A.B. [Quintanilla] but also contracts with EMI Music when I never signed anything with EMI Music. And, I think it's, that is, nobody knows about this because I've never said EMI Music in an interview and I'm saying it now because I've got to succeed. Personally, I want Rodolfo López Negrete of EMI Music to show me – not a copy, because they've been sending us photocopies – that is, I want a copy of the original contract that according [sic] I've signed, me and my mother signed.

I only want justice and I want my freedom to be able to make new music, to be able to bring to my audience, who are waiting, something new, something new to listen to.

A press release from A.B. Quintanilla confirms rumors that Pee Wee has left the Kumbia All Starz. According to the letter, the split was amicable and there will be a search for a new member via the group's MySpace page.

Hola amigos les habla A.B.,

Quiero comunicarles que en común acuerdo con Peewee y otros miembros de la agrupación, decidimos que ellos seguirán su carrera como solistas.

Desde el fondo de mi corazón les deseo lo mejor y mucho éxito en sus carreras individuales. Ellos son muchachos extraordinarios y juntos vivimos momentos hermosos.

A todos ustedes les pido que el cariño y apoyo incondicional continúe hacia ellos, ya que seguirán siendo partes de esta gran familia.

Yo seguiré como productor y cabeza de los Kumbia All Starz trabajando y apoyando el lanzamiento de "Planeta Kumbia”, nuestra nueva producción, con la cual aún nos queda un largo camino por recorrer.

No había anunciado esto antes, esperando el resultado de nuestras conversaciones. Kumbia All Starz buscara su nuevo integrante entre sus fanáticos. Los detalles de esta convocatoria serán anunciados durante los próximos días en www.myspace.com/kumbiaallstarz

Gracias por su apoyo, comprensión y cariño con esta decisión.

A.B.
