I saw Monique in February of this year, and Lunell was there as well and killed it! Monique was the headliner that night and came out and demeaned and degraded Oprah, Tyler Perry, Steve Harvey and all the rest of the people she has beef with. Her entire set was disturbing. And the fact that she expects an apology from the people she talks so horribly about is appalling. That “Hey my sweet babies” talk is 🗑 and will definitely lead to her demise.

I just saw the Babyface/Kem concert. Now, one would think Kem should go first being the younger of the two in age & experience, but Babyface opened & Kem was the headliner. If anyone has a right to fuss about clout, it would be Babyface. But, he graciously did a dynamite opening& Kem expressed his profound respect & admiration for Babyface, conceding that BF was his mentor. No drama. Just phenomenal entertainment. I’m weary of Monique. I’m usually down with the Girl Power thing, but, Monique is just extra. Monique, we’ve all seen your tail. Please stop showing it to us. Have several seats. Do some soul-searching. And stop playing this broken record. Even your most avid fans deserve better.

Good point and example. Babyface has always been a classy guy.

But Babyface knew his position beforehand which allowed him to be prepared regarding his set and time. Monique got hit with the ole bait and switch and that is not cool. As you know the headliner gets to have more time and bring more material. They (the promoters) waited the night of the event to tell Mo how DLH had a hissy fit so they were switching her. Which meant all the jokes and her flow had to be changed right then and there and that's some bullshit. She should have walked since they breached the contract.

She should have been woman & professional enough to talk to him before denigrating him personally in front of the public. Some of those folks were his fans. The whole thing is one big ego trip. Just do what you came there to do & shut the f*** up! Monique likes to rant & whine & get everyone to feel sorry for her. I’m fresh outta sympathy for Monique.

All the promotional material I saw for the show had DL listed as the headliner including the tickets and bill for the show.

[@evelynmobley3748]

This show is so funny!! I love Rickey and the Gang!! Best morning show ever!!

[@atlantabrooklyngal]

I like how Lunell doesn't try to be messy and how she didn't really go in on anybody while making her points. What she stated on air, I know she would have had no problem saying to Monique's face. When I first saw the video clip of Monique talking to the audience, she seemed so toxic. I think she handled this situation wrong, but hopefully this will all end with two grown adults having a private conversation. No need to involve us any further.

[@normandy2501]

I pretty much agree with Lunell and Rickey. This was likely two egos clashing since they both have enough respect to close on a show. Monique was just puffing her chest out when there wasn't any need. If I were DL, knowing how Monique can get with everything she's delt with over the past years, I would just let her have her way as long as the money and time on stage wasn't messed up. Certain people just aren't worth the trouble of engaging them to that point. And I don't say that to disrespect her or anything, it's just I've dealt with many people like her and have a certain way I act around them.

[@shewat52]

After all of that I wouldn't care if I ever saw her again because it was all unnecessary and embarrassing for us as a people.

[@atlantabrooklyngal]

@@normandy2501 normally I would agree with you, but Monique said some things that went too far. Implying DL could be on the down low. Saying that his wife was sleeping with a coward. She brought his family into it and pretty much tried to ruin his reputation, so he couldn't just walk away from that.

[@atlantabrooklyngal]

@@shewat52 True! When I saw her "stand up," clip about DL, she sounded so hateful and evil. I knew there was more to the story and I wanted to hear his side, but I kind of didn't believe her from the beginning.

We really don’t know what was said backstage & DL may have said what Mo claimed he said. But as a black woman who has always hoped Mo could make that come back into entertainment after her public fiasco with “black Hollywood”, its surprising to me that she would use the same “tactic” to address this situation with DL that she used to address her previous issue that got her black balled for years. It’s time for Mo to start talking less and being more strategic with her issues for her career path forward. Sometimes its just better to “attack” a situation from a different angle than head on likes she’s been trying to do, which hasn’t worked for her in the past.
