I worked in a haunted house at my local community center, when I was in high school. My character was Dr. Jekyll and the haunted house organizer gave me a real dagger. I was supposed to pretend to toss it at the crowd from a balcony. Now, after hearing this story, I could have been that haunted house worker. Some of these haunted houses take it too far.
HBCUs are great! I would’ve loved to have attended a hbcu. Unfortunately, hbcus aren’t offering the same financial aid packages as PWIs because of lack of funding. When I applied to Xavier and Spellman, they offered me little or nothing to attend. I completely understand they don’t have the same funding to do so but, when it comes to me taking out loans to go to an hbcu vs. going to a PWI for almost free, I gotta go where it’s free 🤷🏾♀️ I do hope that funding is increased for HBCUs so that other black students don’t have to make that difficult decision.
My Aquarian intuition kicked in as soon as I saw Kelly was “missing”. First thing came to my mind was that she purposefully alienated her family then when it escalated in the public’s eye she & people were getting concerned it became attention seeking & spiteful- “yall not gon MAKE me show myself”. She has a nasty spirit & I don’t care thinks what. Ok you & your sister are estranged but there’s no excuse to have your CHILD worried like that about you. Girl bye. Loved the commentary you guys did on all topics. I absolutely can NOT get enough of this show. Don’t take anyone away don’t add anyone. This formula is simply magical!! I’ve been apart of the funky bunch for 10years so seeing my baby get his shine is heartwarming!! Love you all! 🗣#4daysAweek2HourShowPLEASE!! ✨💗✨
I would like to see all 3 take turns hosting the show…I feel like this would be good for Al and I feel like it would come natural for Q…we need to switch it up sometimes…Claudia should be on the other end answering questions 1st sometimes…it would just make for a more interesting show…which I already love but consider this Fox Soul.
That RICO charge is what they give drug kingpins. I feel like the prosecutors were only focused on getting “the big fish” and in order to get that indictment they probably decided to forgo charges for others in order to get them to testify. Anyone involved should be charged period. Everyone from his ex wife to his road managers to his assistance to the background singers everyone who facilitated in that mess need to be held accountable and do some time, especially those parents who knowingly let their child go with him.
No matter how you feel about Kamala Harris, she is an exceptional attorney and has a history of answeing the hard questions. They’ve already asked her questions about Haiti in the media and she answered and said she was appalled. She is NOT afraid of a couple of talk show hosts. She literally shut Jeff Sessions down in hearings when she was in the Senate. But she’s NOW afraid of The View? Chile, please. While I disagree with how this administration is handling the crisis with our Haitian brethren, let’s be CRYSTAL CLEAR…The Vice President ain’t afraid to say a word about WHATEVER. Trust.
I could have survived just fine without hearing about the Will Smith GQ interview. I’m a big Will Smith fan and I find these details cringeworthy. I think this is an example of when keeping it real goes really wrong. Will Smith is an icon and I believe these type of details diminish his bright light.
Look, Will & Jada are beyond our regular relationship goals. They are committed to their village and to themselves. I believe they are divinely together and I think they are now finally able to be completely vulnerable, especially since we are in a time where people are open and honest about themselves 💗
Now Funky… Chloe and Normani BOTH have promising futures in this music industry. Very talented ladies who deserve their spotlight..and Normani is still struggling to get the recognition she deserves. However I agree that it’s more about popularity and being marketable at this point. Talent is not required anymore.
Don’t feel bad for Will. He’s not putting his stuff out because he’s probably been with men and America is still not quite ready for that. Dineva and Al y’all not Will so we can handle your stuff. People gone be all in their raggedy feelings when Will finally tells the world he likes men which ain’t none of our business. 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
I was really surprised that Claudia went so hard against Jada. Why did she place the blame on Jada for telling her business which was put out by August? Claudia also said she is making Will look bad by coming out with “all” of these affairs. I want to know what other affairs that were had that we’ve heard about.
That R. Kelly biopic gonna be off the CHAIN!!!! I can ONLY imagine! The intro is gonna be him at a piano singing “my mind’s telling me nooo” then they gone flash to Aaliyah….”but my body…” flashes to the Rock N Roll McDonald’s “my body’s telling me YEAH HESS! BABY!” Imagine ALL of the celebrities that’ll be touched on as they journey through his life 😳! Shit gone be 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Regarding hbcu colleges, it’s harder to get into those schools than the PW colleges. My bonus son, we tried so hard to get him into a hbcu but they make it hard to get any kind of scholarships so your forced to go to a pw school in the end. They will give you scholarships in basketball and others than a hbcu🤷🏾♀️…
I get Q’s sentiment about The View but as someone who watches the show regularly, I think he’s completely off basis. The View has interviewed at least 3 Presidents during, before, or after their tenure and they interviewed majority if not all of the mainstream Democratic candidates for President in the last two elections. All of the times they have asked some very intense question. The View does not need to remove two panelists because they fear they’re going to ask tough questions. And it’s insulting to Joy and Sara to think they would shy away from tough questions. It sounds he’s been perusal some conspiracy YouTube articles.
I’m STILL going to listen to R Kelly’s music. When I Iisten to it, I don’t think of minors, I just enjoy the music. I know how to seperate shyt. Secondly, he has written for many artists so if you choose to stop listening to his music then, does that include those artists’ music as well? Like I said, I’m going to listen when I feel the mood to do so.
That GQ interview was CRINGE to me. They need to leave each other its CLEAR they don’t make each other happy. But it’s probably cheaper to stay who wanna go thru all that legal mess?…Nobody, but wait til’ Will has a oops baby..I think that’s what it will take, Also I think Porsha is pregnant already and she quit her jobs because she know she would get HELL
When it comes down to R Kelly’s music I feel like this, is listening to a song I like more important than this man abusing and scarring young girls and women. The women and children that he hurt are more important to me than his songs. I feel like that’s what makes it mean something because I love his music and me not listening to it is a sacrifice. Though I will still support Other artist,s projects that involve R. Kelly to a certain extent because I don’t feel like they should suffer or their families should suffer for what R. Kelly did.
Funky you’re talking about generational superstars. The old school. The kids today would say drake is their superstar. I also agree that social media watered down the image of what a superstar is. How interactive they are. And how easily accessible they are now. Those were different times. I’m sure people were saying the same thing you are when people were listening to Janet or Stevie wonder saying “they don’t make music like Sam Cooke” anymore. Although I agree there aren’t any big superstars, I attribute that to the accessibility to the artist now and social media. It removes the vail and doesn’t leave the mystery of the artist. That’s what all the greats have.
Dabrat should worry about when anxiety issues. She’s been ranting alot and caping alot for people especially those with questionable judgements. Says alot about her. And all I saw in the rent was she inserting herself as being the real friend Kelly talked to than Nikki or everyone else… Like who made you the morality police to check someone honestly, just as Q said. And like Al said, what responsibility did you take, when things were going South. As for Kelly, you know what they say when you cry wolf alot. I hope it wouldn’t be late by then, especially with all these sideeye people as re giving your Hubby/boyfriend 🤷🏾♀️ As for Nikki, you did great. If your coin was scheduled at that same time for you to go LIVE, of course the show must go on. Damned if you did, damned if you didn’t. Someone would still call you a bad friend for not caring to talk about your friend Kelly. Chiile. In the end Brat ranted literarily the same thing in her several messages. The Universe just needs a reset 🤣 Lol Q, Kelly Clarkson is good in her lane, happy enjoying her talk show money and recovering from her divorce settlement. Find another Kelly🤣, maybe Miss Rowland 🤣
To be honest, RKelly’s music wasn’t explicitly said to be about teenagers. Cos in that case you may have to not listen to every artiste who he wrote for or featured in. If you can, you separate it from the man, if not, you don’t listen at all but it is projection to say it was because he wrote it for teenagers. Mind your there may also be cowriters in some of those songs, do we group them also as his enablers?😥 Some of those great songs may have spoken to our situations when we needed them. I certainly may find some of those raunchy sexy songs awkward now though🤣 But then it’s everyone’s choice to decide how his music makes them feel. YouTube still has his catalogue up and clearly the money isn’t going to him or even Aaliyah’s family. Victory and Speedy recovery to all victims of violence.
I think in reference to the future of black music, we also have to think about the listening public’s role. Who are WE going to allow to be the next great? With so many who have proved their greatness OVER TIME we often compare brand new artists to the current capabilities of established artists. A lot the greats were not widely accepted initially and received harsh criticism but through artist development, hard work and talent we have those staple black female artists. 🤷🏾♀️ I do believe that currently everything is quick and fast, entertainment wise but the “new generation ” WANTS everything quick and fast. So supply and demand 👀
To Q’s question: in the documentary women said that he had basically a bedroom in the studio and they were kept there and he would come and go for days at a time. They were given drugs, alcohol, pills, etc. while he wrote and produced music and during his breaks he would come in the room and do whatever he wanted to them.
Cardi b, Alicia Keyes, Megan the Stallion, Jill Scott and Jasmine H. They are pretty good in the music world. Its others that are pretty good also….. Who doesnt think Alicia Keyes is one if them thats not still going to be here 10 to 20 yrs from now! She’s only 40…… Funky, Al and Claudia you are the number 1 show…. Love you guys…
As is Madame Vice President, Kamala Harris, the ladies currently hosting “The View” are learned, well-studied, well read and stand firm and unapologetic about sharing their opinions and understanding on the issues they bring to the table for discussion. To think that anyone of them would cower from tough questioning is laughable.
Claudia! I got my nails done today, and decided on purple!!! Cute color💜 R. Kelly’s music; I don’t see why everybody is in such an uproar to cancel his music. All y’all KNEW he wuz freak a leaking while he wuz putting the music out back then and still danced and fucked to it. As well as making him rich and even more famous! So why stop listening now? I still listen to it, but I also hold him accountable for his actions, and I’m aware he has a serious issue. He just made good, classic music, period. Heeeyyy AL😊💋 Hey Funky!!! NESSA GUURRLLL🏆💐
Funky is right about Kelly Price If you’re a celebrity, people ARE, YES..They All ARE, going to check on you, and if you fail to respond, they’re going to be looking for you . Checking in doesn’t take long. I’m sure she ate, used the restroom, watched TV, etc, all that time, she could have sent a short text message or answered the phone. Especially if you know the person on the other end is OCD . We Love you Kelly Price, Please Get Better Soon. you are in our prayers.
This show was hot!! Al,funky,andclaudia,you guys just flow!!!! All the topics were cutrent,and up to date!!! I really like how funky lay it wide and lay it low,especially where smelly and ms.Kelly was concern👀the Brat is a whole MOOD!!!!🙄🤔i do believe that the view is messy and racist!!! Everyday!!!you notice whooping was not there#the truth!! Jada really got dragged threw these internet streets,and she needs to know that her kids will not ever forget that whole pistackel… Periot!!!!
