Agreed

[@conversationswithkhanyie777]

The fact that all 3 dreamgirls(Anika, JHud and Bey) are all virgos, is a beautiful testament to y'alls power

[@rts1527]

Anika has always been a star. I saw her in her Broadway debut a few years before Dreamgirls and have loved her since.

[@KIAYt-ky8pg]

I wish Beyoncé would do interviews like these that would be so cool to see them together 😭😭

[@nicolejohnson4989]

She didn't win an Oscar so prob would never show up

[@seoulku]

@@nicolejohnson4989 look at you being loud and wrong. she didn’t care about getting an oscar especially since jennifer and bey are good friends. she just not doing no more interviews for y’all to trash talk her about 💀
