Shout out to The Queen, Real Music with a Message. There is No Soul in todays music. Many Talented Artist, Da Baby, Lil Baby, Money Bag Yo, Real Talented Dudes, Very Lyrical, but these two chumps at the top, intent on destroying your Culture, seems as if we can only rap about killing each other, selling drugs, and f***ing h*es. While the white music, though sexualized but in a subtle way, give you the appearance of a better quality of music. Which is not the case, ain't no better music than Pain Music, It Expresses the Heart, The Truth. All Praise to the Most Highest. -Feeling like The Latifah again #HadItUpToHere

[@mrsmichelleg]

She looks like her Daddy

[@cherylwoods6618]

God didn't put you on this earth to leave right now he put you here for a reason and that is to share God's love to everyone and to witness to as many people you can so when you do leave this earth your real mansion is in heaven not here on earth . So you must get about the Father's business . It's not about you it's about the one that gave you life. His name is Jesus and he loves you so much.

[@cherylwoods6618]

I pray that God will touch you right now from any sickness you might have and he touches you in a way that will give you the strength to get pass this and live a life for the Lord Jesus . And fulfill his purpose for your life . In Jesus name amen

[@Kimberlypellot]

maybe you should have had your family and fans choose ananinomous husband for your fortieth husband but so hopefully it will happen for you in your next life and reincarnation as Jennifer's daughter though it seems a tad bit unfortunate that it might not be your twin brother... just in case he is your soulmate and whom married and divorced himself

[@Jezballz]

This "woke" take on the Equalizer has put me to sleep...goodnite.

[@mizzgeek]

Sleep well ... You won't be back?

[@Jezballz]

@@mizzgeek Not unless Denzel Washington takes over:-)

[@mizzgeek]

@@Jezballz There have been three Equalizers - with three different views

[@catgirl24]

Love her!!
