[@SpongeBizzleBenito]

qceaz11 WAS she killed off or is it that the show has murder scenes I'm just asking. Ctfu

[@qceaz11]

blue_boy2006 blue_3 well since u don't seem to be very educated on this matter let me help school u regardless if the show has murder scenes or not if a "MAIN CHARACTER" dies on a show then they are technically considered killed off ummmmK

[@BigKing17]

qceaz11 I wouldn't call her a main character just an important side character.

[@DLloydisDFG]

qceaz11 her acting was garbage, that's why they killed her off.

[@DIZZYMANE]

DLordThaKiiiNG Thank you guy for being honest cuz everybody else trying to look over the fact that her acting was trash, but i wish her well tho.

[@blckgoddess7724]

DJ Plannah it was a joke...

[@surprisemuthafucka2927]

Oh I get it she filmed this before she died RIP Raina ☔️

[@DonsheaHopkins]

Well, it all started about 15 years ago, on a rainy Tuesday night at 9:25pm, on March 2nd, in a hospital room. Yup that pretty much sums it up.

[@hallmarr]

Damn i didnt think they actually killed her off i thought she would survive the gun shot

[@mrfixit5620]

[@SpongeBizzleBenito]

Fucking terrible. He wants to be cool so bad.

[@JLenox]

Yooo Fam exactly 😂

[@sevengawd4558]

Yea he's played for that shit

[@yoofammm]

ultimate super savage Nevermind my Guy, learn to read and pay attention to the beginning of the interview

[@raylaxo5926]

You guys, the show is relating to real life scenarios. Every person has a specific role they play. Raina played as the sweet innocent little sister, Daddy's girl, good grades, who was getting concerned about her brother's safety. There was nothing boring about her character at all. The scenario in this is that she payed the price for Tariq's actions, which is relatable to people in real life. So she will be missed! But she is so beautiful and mature!

[@Christopher_J]

Really appreciate how they interviewed her. Definitely a God blessed child with a bright future ahead! #RIP-RAINA

[@JordanClemons]

Love when ppl find their passions and act on them. As a father, I am definitely all about my daughter finding her passion and me helping her get to it

[@DomDaniel_DGK]

She is a beautiful young black queen 👸🏽 much respect to you sweetheart! I'm rooting for you.

[@chillbill4447]

[@WahlaSmalls]

She's an AMAZING young woman! 15 years old with multiple career paths 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@nzeleke10]

When they killed Rena I was beefin Tariq needs to get his shit together Rena was innocent😤

[@Coolness18304]

she was my favorite character toward the end

[@cashyybabyy7147]

She's like a pretty black Barbie 😍😍😍😍

[@joloa]

Holdd up, she said Raina and Tariq are twins?!

[@kytbig]

johanloa yea they are

[@joloa]

Was that ever said on the show tho?? :p and also the baby sister they got who popped outta nowhere in of the episodes (was long ago tho) was super random

[@prollemchild1121]

johanloa yes.... Remember when Tasha and her mom were talking about Ghost cheating and her mom was trying to get her to stay with him?? She told Tasha "who's gonna take care of the twins and the baby??"

[@zaccheusakar2688]

prollemchild1121 u is right dam i lokey missed that good 👂...

[@joloa]

oooh ok okk, but daaaamn, u got sick memory haha

[@jazminecollins8805]

She is so smart, beautiful, classy, talented, well spoken, & successful! 😍😍😍 #YoungQueen 👑 🙌🤗

[@samuelrose5668]

I'm Sorry But Killing Off A Kid Was Dumb, If Ghost Turns His Back On His Family And Sleeps With Angela, Then The Writers Are Stupid. If Ghost Goes Dirty Into Drugs Again, That'll Be Dumb Too. Also, None Of Those Other Ventures Should Get To Him Anymore, He Lost His Child

[@slimthizzle11]

I wish my daughter to be as well spoken, and put together as you...i wish you nothing but peace and blessings ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@JRob594]

Those of you saying "she's not that good a actress" give her a break she's young and still have a long way to go chill with the negativity

[@MrMessyb]

This girl inspiring!! Multi-talented and still maintaining a 4.0 grade average!!! She definitely going places!!

[@ebonyr.b.1216]

She corrected him real quick with the GPA, better let them know about that 4.0!!

[@LindaLynn93]

Her personality is radiant and she is so beautiful! I truly love how well spoken and inspiring she is too! Go girl!!!

[@ardlito86]

So beautiful and adorable. Wish you a lot of succes girl

[@cherrym.m9355]

they didn't have to kill her, like put her in a coma for a Lil while, they're still gonna get the same reaction from ghost, he's gonna want to kill whoever shot her.

[@nicolejones2023]

She’s so awesome and her mom raised her well.

[@StayHill921]

Great interview great young woman. Her parents should be very proud, I'm happy for you keep doing your thing! #RIPRaina #BringRainaBack #ItShouldveBeenTariq

[@nyeeezy]

Ebro is so unprofessional, introduce her by using her real name.

[@lhall991]

I love it and I love it even more that her mother listened to her and helped her pursue her dreams

[@fatou8011]

omg she's adorable ❤❤

[@DonsheaHopkins]

Awww thank you!

[@britniecollins5104]

Donshea Hopkins I wish I could do a collaboration with you Donshea am also A rising singer and would like to share my talent with anyone in fact am all the way from Jamaica, shouting a big thank you on all your achievements you work hard for on Power😻😻❤❤ Continue to do both people will love you

[@RuthLovesJesus]

Donshea Hopkins ❤️

[@Kendra37214]

SHE DIDNT DESERVE TO GO OUT LIKE THAT! I'm still heartbroken! 😩

[@mrspatilla85]

Such a beautiful, talented, sweet, young woman. You remind me so much of my daughter. You have a fan for life😊🤗❤Praying for many great things coming your way!

[@ernestmurphy8275]

It's a shame that she met her demise, being loyal and taking up for her brother. I was thinking that she just really started to cut out her worth on the show and to lose her like that hurt me. I hope Gost tortures Ray Ray for what he did. It's about to be on!

[@Zee_Babyyy]

She is so humble, and AMAZING!!! Love her!!!

[@crocop4life]

When ebro said is 3.2 your grade average, and she clapped back with no its a 4.0!

[@kphillips5850]

Salute from stockton Cali"😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@mrbrownroyyal]

Wow such a bright young lady!

[@DonsheaHopkins]

Thanks!

[@mrbrownroyyal]

You're so welcome! Wow I wasn't expecting a response ha! Keep being you!

[@goodpeopleprosper635]

The DJ next to her is so funny. His facial expressions are priceless. Love this little girl...

[@snellsman]

People are so mean to this girl, she's a good kid. With a career about to boom, that's someone's daughter Chill out

[@cliffordkapia766]

I love how supportive they were with her. It's important to acknowledge childrens dreams especially when they're not unrealistic or grandiose.

[@joeybriggins]

I think she gonna come back as a "conscience" in Tariq's head like Dexter's dad "Harry" in the show Dexter... Another show I love and miss btw 😔

[@Thegenesis757]

Donshea Hopkins is a very gifted and talented young woman. I see nothing but greatness in her future. I have to also say that she has exceptional people as her parents. I attribute Donshea's success to her parents who recognized her intelligence and giftedness very early and provided the support and avenues she needs to be the person she is. Truly the sky is her limit. She'll be fine though and will definitely get another role on another show, she's just that good.

[@TisHotMessHistory]

What a beautiful, talented, and driven young lady. She is classy and adorable. I can't wait to see her in the Olympics.

[@SelinaVallary]

I love how ambitious she is👏🏽

[@taneanbethay2968]

Donshea Hopkins ,you are an wonderful actress...you did an amazing job playing your character!☝☝☝☝💯💯💯💯💯♥♥♥♥

[@chukie30]

Raina died protecting her brother while he was hiding like a little B**ch...Tariq has pissed me off so much this season

[@keemdadream6500]

Can't wait to see more shows & movies from her on the way, She's on the come up now

[@luckyfab3375]

She is such a beautiful and talented young lady, I pray she continue on this path of success!

[@TheRealJahan]

i just finished watching the episode and opened up youtube to see this. i’m still shook

[@conduitofthegospeldarrellb9154]

Sweet girl. Sharp and talented too... makes me want to have a baby girl... nah fuck that lol...

[@buildinpsylence]

Darrel Be 😂😂😂😂

[@conduitofthegospeldarrellb9154]

The Gooch lol. INACCURATE. They don't have more drive. There are many more females then men on this planet so they occupy the majority of different markets and institutions. That's it. A lot of men are opting out of the "American dream" (house, kid, wife, pets and picket fence) because they don't believe/know it's not a worthwhile gamble

[@TheCookfamily01]

@Donshea Hopkins you did an awesome job!

[@CheRhys]

When did she say, "It should've been Tariq?"

[@warrenlondon2426]

Che Rhys She didn't. It was just another corny ass click bait 😑 lol

[@kriscarter2226]

Che Rhys oh!! U clicked for that too? 😂😂

[@Deb.-on9ep]

I was so hurt when they killed off Raina. She was so sweet and her performance at the end was awesome!

[@sidewondoh7018]

Donshea is a fantastic actress you go girl

[@Antertainment531]

That episode pissed a lot of people off, makes you wonder if you wanna watch it again. She's a true talent......

[@reneexoxo1]

I love her she's adorable very intelligent

[@fransciayuub1458]

Wow she's a truly amazing great well spoken intelligent girl. I have a five year old daughter and this reminded me that I need to help my daughter find what she's great at and help her achieve her dreams. She's advanced for her age too ❤️❤️❤️

[@lisamarie4040]

is it just me or does anyone else wonderever happen to the baby Ghost & Tasha had at the begining? Weren't there 3 kids at the begining?

[@lcartele22]

Lisa Marie she is with the grandma. She brought her to jail when she visited Ghost

[@Flash-ku5ni]

Lisa Marie she is still in the show but you don't see her cuz she's young n her acting isn't that good so they don't put her in that much I guess,

[@dudeseriously57]

Great interview.

[@warrenlondon2426]

Not gonna lie, I shed a few gangster tears when lil sis got shot tho 😩😪

[@Dhk4]

You guys spoiled tf outta that episode with the title smh good thing I watched it this morning

[@Str333tKing]

Tariq is gonna pop Ray Ray and get revenge for you Raina next episode. #Spoileralert

[@zayyzay2209]

Shemri Richard I knew he was gonna kill him but why the fuck will u put spoiler at the end and not the beginning idiot

[@Str333tKing]

jack Spike so that you would read the entire sentence idiot :)

[@heavenmosley8966]

Tariq a punk and always been a punk.

[@joepropsnyc]

Raina really was becoming my favorite character this last season. She held it down.

[@MaineManDezzo]

How come i never seen her on Orange Is The New Black and ive seen every episode. Ive seen Tariq on there

[@MaineManDezzo]

I jus searched her, shes Cindy's daughter lol Damn she looked different

[@DonsheaHopkins]

rewatch it lol

[@meeksluv]

I've seen her, he cussed her mom out and called her a liar for telling her that the sister wasnt in jail anymore.

[@akofarlazanetor123]

+DeeJayCee Do you know the exact season and episode?

[@EffUSluts]

Meeks J actually it's not her sister it's her mom she just think she's her sister cause the mom lied to her

[@Workitouttt711]

Kudos to her...great interview🎀

[@ATrippyLENZ]

She suppose to be an angel coming back with that all white outfit ? Lmao

[@ianbailey2127]

She seems to be a very pleasant and intelligent young lady. I wish her all the best in her many career adventures. You go girl!

[@Newyearhey]

didn't know they were twins on the show !!!!!!! what lol ???

[@tonyfergusonphotography]

This is what makes a show a great show. When you have people hating a character in real life for who they are on screen. That just means that the character is doing their job VERY well. Kudos to Raina and Tariq for being great young actors.

[@toledoatkins]

dont limit the kids dreams living example right there

[@ceeteeoliver4241]

Donshea Hopkins was ALWAYS so Beautiful and talented. Her career has only just begun!!!!
