Fantasia Barrino at the color purple screening with Oprah on 12/14/23

[@greenbyrdd8308]

Fantasia took us straight to church! I'm so proud of her, and so very happy for her success. She is having a moment, and she deserves every bit of this!

[@andreacooper1105]

She who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives. This is NOT church this is deception!

[@Anabee399]

Fantasia is a testimony. God has taken her along the way. And she appreciates and knows her value now. Praise God. And she was always a beautiful black woman.Bravo, Babe! 💝🙏👏

She's gonna say the same things she's been saying over and over im married and happy and I turned it down the 2nd time cause I'm so much like her. Or she might not even show up isn't the Oscars apart of "THE INDUSTRY"???

[@SincerePresence]

I was living in New York at the time that play was out. I was told don't buy tickets because Fantasia was out sick. It was like those words were in a maze circling around me but never landed on my brain. I bought 2 tickets and took my Godsister to that show on her birthday and guess what, Fantasia was there!! She performed so magnificently I cried!!! When it was over and she came forward I had tears on my face, STOOD UP and blew her kisses!! She looked directly at me and blew me a kiss and waved!! That made my whole life right then and there. It was like my spirit showed me love right back!! I'll never ever forget that. That was a strength I needed to get myself back strong and face what my life was at that time 😢. Thank you baby girl, I love you forever!!!!

[@mslovely3484]

Aww😢, that's wonderful you got see her on Broadway. We flew to NY, but Fantasia wasn't there. We enjoyed the show. The experience was still a great opportunity. Now, I get the chance to see her on the big screen.😊

[@ndhender20]

Glad U had that experience! I Absolutely Love Tasia! Her Spirit has Always been grounded by the Almighty!!! She is for Her fans! Every concert I’ve gone to she’s said She always asks God to keep her humble & that she is! 🥳👑❤️‍🔥

[@badrunnisakai-el1099]

Awesome I Pray that all our Sistah hear that and go see Color Purple it was amazing!!!! I needed to Hear that Also!!❤❤❤❤

[@donnaking7902]

That was so nice🎉Thank you . OMG 🎉

[@donnaking7902]

Why wasn't Fantasia getting paid properly? And how do the taxes add up to 50% of your earnings. When Obama and Hillary were debating for the election, Hillary said that the rich only pay taxes on 100,000.00. It doesn't matter what they make. She said it, and Trump pretty much said it, too. I feel they need to talk to people with money 💰 and learn how to handle these demons.

[@liglisachae7238]

Everytime I hear Fantasia speak like this tears well up in my eyes. I wouldn't go see the first color purple, but reason I want to see this one is because of Tasia and Taraji. Happy to hear both are expanding more of their abilities and talents.

[@sabren81]

Same

[@lakishaspeaks]

I seen the first version probably two or three times, even though it's long.😊😊 can't wait for this one

[@ananasvostel]

I initially had no plan to see the Color Purple, but I absolutely will if for nothing else, to support Fantasia and Taraji. They are both so gifted. Just listening to this shows you just how gifted Fantasia is... she has the ability to touch and reach people in so many meaningful ways.

[@patriciayoung9298]

I always been a fan of Fantasia, she spoke her truth about the industry doing her wrong.

[@mytv89626]

Only already screwed up people want to be a part of the industry. Get a real job, stop pretending to be someone else for money.

[@ladennayoung2939]

She was speaking of how she was done in the past from my understanding. It sounds like when she played Celie on Broadway. She didn't have the right people around her. They stole from her, misused her, and abused her in a sense. But God is good. Whatever satan means for evil. GOD WILL TURN IT AROUND FOR YOUR GOOD AND HIS GLORY.

[@FarnazAlilovesOmar]

She has a lot bigger dreams and doors to open. If given the chance Fantasia will play some real diva roles in the industry.

[@jehustrachan6015]

Bruh. I can’t wait to watch her play Ms. Patti Labelle

I met her at her Side Effects of You album signing at J&R Music World years ago. She was also in town for her one woman show at the Beacon Theater that coming Saturday. After she signed my CD I told her I would see her on Saturday. She looked me straight in the eye and said so sweetly “You’re coming!” Such a grateful and humble human being. I am so proud of her and happy that she is having this moment. BlessingsUp for a continued and climbing career. She is truly one of a kind💕🙏🏾🥂

[@yvettestanford5482]

I'm overjoyed for Fantasia. She's been through the fire and came out as pure gold with Jesus walking right by her side!!! Her journey is so uplifting and inspiring and shows that you don't have to compromise yourself "sell your soul" to gain what the world has to offer. God prepared her little did she know for what is now hers for the taking. For those who have been unseen, overlooked, felt ugly or insignifcant...no longer. I was there watching American Idol when it first aired and yes that includes watching and voting, Fantasia, Jennifer and Latoya. LOVE THIS and look forward to the movie on Christmas Day...which is one of my gifts, lol.
