[@tbizzzy]

I hate the way Ariana always has to be brought up in her interviews, vic has been in the music industry far longer and is an artist in HER own right, the title of the video should 100% be changed. She made Ariana and helped craft Ariana’s sound lol

[@melissawhite5688]

Me too about a year ago 😊

Same 🎉

[@MaxineShaw_84]

I thought I found out about her when Monopoly blew up, but when I went add it to my playlist, I realized I'd already added a handful of her older singles ( _Let Her Go_ is everything). She had a short wavy bob on the art work and I never put it together loll She really BEEN 🔥🔥 but all in the right timing. Love to see her keep going up & up! 👑

[@StayceMichelle]

Me too….like 2 days ago! Ayeeee

Glow is a bop👏🏽

[@Ah_lee_see]

I had no idea she was so soft spoken. Her confidence in the songs make her seem like she loud in person.

[@nena9561]

One thing about Angela is she got show up prepared!! Love that and so proud of her success with her new channel and to get an icon like ms Monet LOVE

[@DreActually]

I think Victoria and Jazmine Sullivan are 2 artists who I can’t name a bad song of theirs. They are master songwriters

[@harritwin]

Her EP era reminds me of early Janet, and that’s when I knew I’d always listen to her 🙏🏼🤍

[@TayCraftian]

New love is the best 💕😫

Is it just me but the radio stations I listen to dint have press why

Amazing songstress and vocalist. Talented dancer. A motha! And the sweetest, most genuine vibe. I hope she keeps winning.

You can tell Ariana and her are friends because Ariana nearly copies her laugh and cadence. If you have good friends, you do sorta mimic them

I'm older, so I sometimes miss out on some of the younger artists.

I'm an instant fan. Watched all her other videos & tour. This woman is a STAR🤩❤️💯& to find out she's a writer...Wow/triple threat❤️🙏🏽

[@selenahnjoloma1415]

Who’s going to write Ariana’s songs now that the black women who wrote her songs are getting their time to shine? 😂😂😂 Come on queen Victoria and Queen Muni Long!!

[@amberdelrocco692]

Victoria is so beautiful, graceful, and intelligent. Right here, she reminds me of Jhené Aiko. Especially with the way she lights up when talking about her daughter.

[@MubinNoor]

You guys ask all the right questions while still keeping it super conversational, so thank you 😌

[@Cmonnsonn]

Is it safe to say Ariana's carrer is thanks to Victoria?!?! Sheesh! I can just imagine how much Victoria is lowballed financially vs what the artists make from her songs. I know firsthand that no matter how much the creative team makes behind the scenes, the artists makes multiple times more! Much respect to Victoria for her talent to create so consistently. Many blessings to her & wishing her all of the success & beyond to what she deserves in her future as an artist! 🙏🏾💯💪🏾✊🏾♥️♥️♥️

Idk if anyone else noticed this but Victoria seemed so shy to talk about herself. When answering she seemed to feel uncomfortable like talking lower and trailing off . She’s very humble maybe too humble and I hope she realizes she is a star ⭐️ she doesn’t have to be anybody’s shadow or feel like she’s not allowed to talk about herself because she’s genuinely interesting and talented and deserves to shine
