She literally admitted to doing drugs in the podcast video so they aren’t wrong🤷🏽‍♀️. Some are actually concerned about her using drugs. Ignoring the fact that she is or was on something doesn’t help her grow. There is a right and wrong way to approach it tho. All we can do is pray for her healing and that she gets the breakthrough she needs for herself and her children. Having a solo parent on drugs is no bueno. She never said anything about a stroke either 🙄 I wish people would stop speaking that over her.

[@akeelahtf9845]

@@porchea-londonespencer3542 I know that she admitted to it. I'm speaking moreso on the fact that that's the only thing people were commenting on, as if her whole life is amounted to the fact that she was once on drugs. She acknowledged it, she's moved on, she explained what got her into that place, and what she is doing to better herself and get/stay OUT of that place.

She’s a recovering addict what the hell do you expect her to be perfectly normal again??

[@nefertariwhite]

@@melanatedvirgo7056 I had the same problem for about a decade. When I got clean and stayed clean.. the behavior went away. You'd never be able to tell now.

[@4626761]

Mommy Vibes If that's true she has brain damage from it.

[@brittanysanders481]

She still got it! Those vocals didn't age😍

[@queenv4340]

I love Nivea and I also love her songs too

[@kimberlylee-hydara7002]

WE all have a story! She's a beautiful Queen!

[@CoverGirlNay]

It’s crazy how Jive tried to push the “pop” label on Nivea and then tossed Her to the side for Ciara. Only to toss Ciara to the side a few yrs later. Why couldn’t they have 2 R&B ladies on top? 💁🏽‍♀️

[@TheLovely655girl]

CoverGirlNay it keeps the industry dog eat dog just like they like it for our people

[@dreamscapehsp]

Sooo Tha Carter V just came out and Nivea is featured on it, and it’s amazing! I saw this video before it came out so that made me really, truly happy when I saw that she was on the album

[@ReMonaLavon]

In that BET interview I could tell she was on something. She kept grinding her jaw. I hope she gets clean and stays clean. I’m rooting for you!! ♥️

[@stilettosatl1332]

Wow!! She’s so broken.... bless her soul, her dreams, and all she wishes to accomplish ❤️

[@Meemo42]

Thank you for this, this answered alot of my questions. That other interview she did for BET made me cry😢

[@jimora16]

The dream and Nivea always looked like they could be brother and sister

[@BenMosesGames]

jimora16 facts ,.. big facts

[@aquablue1252]

I thought I was the only one who felt that way

[@thefactsaccordingtogabbie149]

Awww Nivea!!! I kinda had a feeling she did drugs tho. In the interview I peek how her mouth would turn like bobby brown. I ❤ her song complicated( and bought the album too) and still wish she did a video for that song. I hate how the industry over look real talented artist because that artist don't wanna be or can't be like the other hot artist that's out popping and selling. Or simply because people don't know how to accept/understand the artist therefore the label don't know how to market them to where they can appeal and sell. I wish her the best and hope she can get an GREAT who would love her like no man before and can help support her.

[@THEGIRLNEXTDOOR1000]

Someone said she had a stroke, unless that was just a cover up. Anyhow glad she's getting her shine now..

[@traciehoward2468]

[@beautiful2098]

[@sitabrown4082]

TheFactsAccordingToGabbie1791 yea I saw it too 😭

[@SundayOmonyOfficial]

She is talented and beautiful. 💛 I wish her and her Family well. Bless her heart. Hugs! XO #LoveFromCANADA 🇨🇦

[@arisistance1006]

She is so sweet, she is genuinely humble and gracious. I want her to WIN!!!

[@actlikeyouknow3009]

I'm praying for my sister Nivea, I will support her music and project much as I can. Respect for her honesty. God ain't finished with her. Thank you for sharing your this post.

[@dsavage636]

Mental health issues go undiagnosed on a daily basis in our communities. No matter how famous or conventional a person is mental health issues are real. I know mothers that love and admire their children but don’t break down literally at the thought of their kids turning 18 and moving out. That’s not a good sign. It’s a sign of unstableness. Great video.

[@verapaige7915]

Absolutely

[@tanithiaskygoddesswilliams8768]

How is she suppose to be the "black Britney Spears" when Britney's trying to be Janet Jackson!

[@TheKingderr]

I really hope she drops new music soon & US BLACKS SUPPORT SO SHE CAN GET THE FAME SHE DESERVES

[@quickfast8398]

Ill be keeping her in my prayers too ❤️ loved the video thank you

[@deecabrera7768]

I hope her talents blows everyone away. I pray the best for her.And to stay grounded and safe in that world.

[@nature7413]

[@MiMi-bs3th]
