T-Boz Says Drake, L.A. Reid, Nelly & More Turned Their Back On TLC After Left Eye’s Death

o

Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins accuses the music industry of abandoning TLC following the tragic loss of Lisa “Left Eye” Lopez. Back in 2002, Lopez died in a fatal car accident while in Honduras. The news of her death shocked the world, especially after the shocking death of R&B singer Aaliyah 8 months prior.

T-Boz recently sat down with Hollywood Unlocked and the TLC singer had some things to get off of her chest. She says many left the legendary group by the wayside when Left Eye was no longer with us.

“Honestly, when Lisa died, the whole industry turned on us,” said Watkins. Everybody. They were like, ‘It’s over for them. They’re never going to do it again.’ And I kept saying, ‘Nah, bruh, that still doesn’t hinder my talent and my passion to sing and dance.’ It’s in my soul.”

T-Boz was not shy when she proceeded to name-drop those individuals, beginning with her LaFace label boss, L.A. Reid.

“Everybody, L.A. Reid.  I’ll call ’em all out, I don’t care. “We put LaFace (Records) on the map, made them all kind of millions.

She even mentions Nelly, Drake and T.I. declining to open for TLC at the last minute. According to Watkins, Nelly dipped in order to get a haircut. As far as Drake, it seemed like a timing issue. The 6 God invited T-Boz and Chile to perform for OVO Fes back in 2013.

Despite these interactions, T-Boz has no hard feelings and holds no resentment towards anyone.

“But it’s all good because it turned out exactly the way it was supposed to be.”

Bianca Censori Defies Hotel Dress Code in Scandalous Style with Kanye West

Bianca Censori

Earlier this week, Bianca Censori and her husband Kanye West were spotted at the iconic Chateau Marmont for lunch. The Australian model, known for her daring fashion choices, turned heads yet again with her provocative outfit. Censori sported a tiny pair of shorts, black heels, and a revealing white bikini top, which undoubtedly caught the attention of both onlookers and the hotel staff.

Despite Chateau Marmont’s strict business casual dress code, Censori’s nearly nude appearance did not elicit any complaints from the staff. This is not the first time Censori has pushed fashion boundaries at the luxury hotel. Earlier this month, she made headlines by arriving in a thong and later in a sheer nude mini dress paired with long stockings, heels, and a tan hat, while Kanye shielded her from photographers.

Keke Palmer Defends Tyler Perry Amid Misogyny Backlash, “The Real Enemy is the System!”

Keke Palmer

In a recent episode of her podcast Baby, This is Keke Palmer, Keke Palmer hosted Tyler Perry, sparking intense discussions online. Perry’s comments, addressing long-standing criticisms that his films often depict Black women in distress, went viral. Defending his creative choices, Perry stated, “A large portion of my fans are disenfranchised. Who cannot get in the Volvo and go to therapy on the weekend. You’ve got this highbrow negro who is all up in the air with his nose up looking at everything… Don’t discount these people and say their stories don’t matter. Who are you to be able to say which Black story is important, or should be told? Get out of here with that bullsh*t.”

Perry’s remarks led to significant backlash, including accusations of misogyny. In response, Keke Palmer took to social media platform X to defend Perry. She argued that critics are misdirecting their anger. “The enemy isn’t Tyler, it’s the system that makes it hard for multiple black artists to shine at one time,” Palmer asserted. “Oppression turns you against the person that gets the shine opposed to questioning why there can only be so few at a time. Tyler is not the gatekeeper of all black stories; he’s just one creative who broke through the system. Advocating for others to do the same is the fight, not hating Tyler for his work that many do love.”

Palmer also highlighted Perry’s significant contributions to the Black community in a follow-up tweet, noting his employment of numerous Black individuals and urging followers not to “blame his movies for oppression.”
