Honey is an absolute ballroom ICON, a stupendous child prodigy.

[@cjm38]

Hardly an icon yet. Not even a legend yet. upincoming legend, yes.

[@jerbear3930]

Literally just saw Miss Honey last nigh at the Renaissance Tour at MetLife and let me tell you when were gooped and gagged bc miss thang didn’t perform in the usual set, so when they showed up during the Ballroom Interlude the whole stadium fucking lost their minds❤❤❤ I would classify as an ICON

[@cjm38]

@@jerbear3930 Although everything you are saying is important and relevant. You can’t be an icon with less than 10 years in the scene regardless of what’s he’s going now. This is how ballroom works. Statement is first, then up incoming legend, then legend, icon, and finally a pioneer. Honey is an up in coming legend at this point.

[@jerbear3930]

@@cjm38 well when you explain it with Ballroom culture than that makes sense, thank you for clarifying which is good for everyone, but for the people who don’t know these rules would be classifying Honey as an Icon which is still a huge compliment, but thank you for the clarification, I just learned something new today👍🏽

[@TIZNYC]

@@cjm38It’s “up and coming” not “up incoming” You out here trying to school and don’t even know the correct terminology 🤡

Im hearing so much about this honey girl since she’s performing for Beyoncé and I’ve fallen in love with her talent and I have the biggest crush on her now 😭 like I’m crushing real bad she’s so cute

Agreed! Please! Xoxo

I can’t wait to hear your podcast @Honey Balenciaga ❤❤❤ I think u are so dope and talented..the focus and your story is inspiring..keep thriving

[@blazingstar9638]

😍😍😍😍

[@Kufo-Oriji4632]

Agree with Honey. Dashaun is one of my favourite BQ of all time but Starr Revlon won that battle at the Latex Ball imo. And yes Honey, you won against Makayla but not convincingly. 90% of the comments think Makayla was robbed. You won but Makayla created a moment

[@gregjenkins4088]

[@terrancemaloney29]

Dashaun......PLEASE INTERVIEW JANESE. She is one of the GIRLS from when all the girls were THE GIRLS. And she's so underappreciated and disrespected in Ballroom. The LEGENDARY JANESE deserves her flowers. The girls from her time are passing away, and I'd love to hear Janese' story in her own words. Please reach out to her.

[@nybreeallure1164]

Honey Labeija definitely did the work!!! She was recognized as a Lebeija although she thinks otherwise. Glad you took a moment to explain that.

[@igotyourback9175]

Dashaun, your voice is so majestic and authoritative. It's everything!

[@TheWpgMom]

So so beautiful!

[@nikkiwarbucks3410]

I agree, he should consider reading for audiobooks

[@planetherforever]

I love you Dashaun. it would be amazing if we could get windows on the screen of the battles and people you're talking about, while you're talking about it. it would really elevate the visual and educational experience for your subscribers. xoxoxo

[@DarionCortez]

DaShaun Icon Wesley, we gone box okay, ain't no way you gone make us wait 2 whole weeks for part 2. That's homophoic lol

[@LoneWulf278]

😂

[@anthonyminerva1950]

I saw this comment but didn't piece together just how truly homophobic of an act it was until I finished...

[@KyaneTiger]

Okay I just finished the interview and yes it was very homophobic to end it like that lmfao

[@twinkle2679]

I have loved Honey for her talent, her beauty, and now, hearing her speak at length about her plans, I love her ambition, her confidence, and her passion. Smart girl! Good luck with everything, Honey!

[@Kufo-Oriji4632]

Since you’re honouring Ashley Icon the creator of Fem Queen Dramatics! Please can you bring her on the show!!

[@DashaunWesley]

patience my good one

[@iceblade827]

Dashaun trying to keep up with Honey is hilarious, she is a little fire cracker of quickness when it comes to the reads and shade

[@rybel1988]

I would LOVE for you to do a sit down with Starr...as you say No Sade...Starr is phenomenal and I think a lot of light could be shed from that interview. The world could benefit from understanding how that creative mind works. Make it happen Icon 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@mralewp_]

This episode was everything! I love Honey so much.

[@muzeezhodillo8613]

I'm here from seeing videos of Honey dancing at Beyonce renaissance tour. Never heard or seen them before. I thought it was Honey's show before realising it was Beyonce renaissance tour. Dances like a bouncing spinning top. Couldn't stop watching the clips. Magnificent

[@marlenna215]

Not too much

[@TSUNAMI-MAMI]

Honey is soooo talented I love her so much

[@oNe-TwO-fReE]

Been watching this scene for many years and watching it develop then had a break. Honey got me back into it.

[@ghutchin33]

Came here after Beyonce concert. You were amazing !

[@adrianskarstad7942]

dashaun definately slayed starr that night! starr was on FIRE the prior battles but, the icon arrived and it was over💅

[@coachkira]

Love this interview 🥰 it’s giving Honey period no last name needed. Dashaun is so amazing 🫶🏾

[@gerhardtmuller7439]

i came through willi ninja. that was my time, so loving the old but appreciating its journey. loving honey, fo sho. poetry in motion

[@imjustsaying670]

Makayla ATE at the latex ball. Honey gotta take that L. When Makayla popped up like a jack in the box it was OVVVA! Makayla is a beast. Honey is definitely a star but no ma'am! Aint no comparison!

[@janilmaroon]

This conversation must of happened before that Bey gig was set in stone. Because she is definitely introducing her as one of the Honey Bs. ❤❤❤

[@Erin-el1gi]

The way I needed this today, THANK YOU DASHAUN AND HONEY!! But please….I can’t wait two weeks I simply can’t

[@biancanatal3204]

This coversation was epic! Can't wait for part 2.

[@JamesWilson9777]

so cool to hear Honey's story, great interview thank you!

Lmaooo I saw Honey vouge back her name WAS Honey LaBeja 💃🕺✨😭

[@vernealeaton8830]

We gon put respect on LaBeija❗ #THEEbeginning❗ #LaBeija❤

[@fleon7316]

Okay so after watching this video I went back and watched honey vs makayla again & I also watched deshaun vs star again & here are my thoughts on both battles. Honey vs Makayla - if this was just a regular battle M would’ve won but in terms of a vogue battle I feel like Honey ate. Deshaun vs star - honey believes that star was the winner but deshaun vogued the hell down and that’s what it’s all about so in my opinion he earned that W.

[@nickoffury]

Seeing videos of Honey in the past I've been amazed but seeing Honey at the Renaissance show? ELECTRIC! She had the whole stadium GAGGED

[@MissJennjenn]

Nobody can do it like Honey! She's a beast on the floor!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@huburgalula4031]

I was cracking up when I watchded the video of honey going for Star and she didn't even do the dip 😂 the way deshaun recalled the story!! Naaah deshaun won that fair!!

Loving the podcast so far Dashaun. Hope you can get my fave Asia West on ❤❤❤

[@cardiiinoob2119]

I agree with honey on why she left nyc. You have to keep it pushing and keep it moving cause the minute you feel settle is when you don’t take risk you see no change

[@tonytonydancer6960]

to be in Australia, in a scene that feels so isolated from the big international scenes, it feels so reassuring to hear those stories those interviews feel so inclusive and comforting, gaging at everything being said!

[@Carmelmen1]

They were amazingly at the Renaissance tour! They completely ATE THAT VOGUE SET! To be apart of History with Beyoncé! That's a major flex!

[@Starling-lp1pz]

You’ve gotta get Divo on here every time I see him perform he’s out of this world

I’m so in love with honey, she seems so happy and just enjoys who she is and life and I just wish and hope I can get to that point soon, I’ve been in a very dark place and cant seem to find my happiness no matter how hard I look!

[@javonday3917]

So after watching both episodes I went back to watch the battle with Honey Makayla and Honey bodied that! Down to the handstand into a dip at the end! 🙌🏾👏🏾 … That’s still one of my favorite battles though. 🔥

No lets be clearrrrr Star battled like 6 people straight when she had to battle Dashaun.... he beat her with his vogue BUT ONLY because she was tired by then... star won to me with that shade she threw at him on them steps.... That was a moment too💋

[@DashaunWesley]

lol for you to think I beat her cause she was tired is an excuse .... just celebrate her cause you enjoyed her not cause you think she should have won. celebrate her cause she made a moment which you continue to celebrate rather compare...

[@mztiffanybad]

@@DashaunWesley no comparing my love there is a clear discussion and challenge of the win in the comments and I just weighed in with my opinion... You both are awesome at what you do and share with the world (Icon Dashaun you ARE a master of your craft)🙏🏽💜but that night belonged to Star in my opinion.

[@DashaunWesley]

Lol yea love friendly discussion here . Be mindful you here telling the king of vogue that you think she should have won. Rather then just celebrating her for having a good night….
