Inside R&B Singer Tweet’s SAD Life Story

[@tamcar04]

[@allrealeverything]

I loved the early 2000’s R&B just as much as the 90’s. I had Tweet, Sunshine Anderson, Alicia Keys, Jill Scott, and Amerie in HEAVY rotation.

Hypocrisy

[@tanyagary9209]

Thats sad! Im glad the 2 churches i grew up in never treated anyone that way

[@MiamiPush2theLimit]

Yes you come as you are, but you’re not supposed to stay as you are. If the fruit of your life is not matching up with your professed faith, then it is your responsibility to step down or the church has to sit you down while you go through a time of counseling. The choir is not there for people to show off their talent. The choir is supposed to minister to people’s lives. If you’re not in a position to help fulfill that purpose, you need to sit down.

Can we talk about how beautiful she is and how her and her daughter look like sisters!!!!

[@ajmarveldc5505]

Her daughter is a lighter version Tweet. She says that she loves Goz and has a relationship with him, which is all good, and if she knows God's word... the Holy Bible.... PLEASE FORGIVE she would also know that it says... Fail not to assemble yourself to worship... and the part about her not giving anybody 10% of anything anymore is the same as saying she isn't gonna give God his 10% anymore either because you can only do that by joining a church and paying your tithes on first Sundays; but yet she still wants him to bless her life and family.

Fun fact: Tweet and Ashanti's debut albums (CDs 😁😁😁) were released on the same day. I was a teen working at a music store when it was released, and I remember how they shipped waaay more Ashanti CDs than Tweets. Tweet's CDs ended up selling out fast because she was in HEAVY rotation at our store. Excellent record. If you having heard Southern Hummingbird, stream it immediately. You will not be disappointed.

[@sosorandom80]

I remember that as well and always remembered feeling odd that Tweet wasn't publicized and marketed more. That album was and is everything to this day!
