Wait, is that the finished product? How does one pay?!

lol. Drake withdrew the petition against Spotify and UMG. I….. this is the most anticlimating ending of such a beef that there’s ever been. Did he just decide to accept the ‘L’? This is actually when he shoulda released “Honestly, Nevermind” 😂

I know that’s not all of it, and he was seeking validation and acceptance from white folks likely. But, I can’t pretend black gays would have been lined up outside his window as a skinny, fem, darker skinned theater girl.

He won star search in 1992, yt crowd. tried to have an R&B career and it flopped. The yt crowds embraced him. I think he went where he felt celebrated and fit in. Fast forward to now, it’s like older white men get to be daddies but Older black men are supposed to just go hide and be alone.

And even then, he was too brown, too fem, into the arts, etc. He isn’t the conventional picture of beauty or bravado black gay men typically court. And remember, he’s of a generation where fem was ABSOLUTELY out. It was about thug trade, down.

a woman is crying and asking who else was going to love me

Black gays say Billy Porter is unattractive, annoying, too old, too fem, etc. So, Billy Porter married a yt man and we said oh of course he got a yt man. But we PUBLICLY criticize him and ostracize him. Who was gonna love him?! Hmm? Since u wrote ur think piece and u know everything.

I have both. Here’s what I’ll say. I like the 1:1 point transfer with the platinum for Delta, which isn’t available on the sapphire. I also like having automatic status with Hilton, Marriot Bon Voy, Avis, Hertz and I like airport lounge access because I fly delta often.

Donald Trump said “all hell will break lose if Hamas hasn’t released the hostages by 1/20”. But. Free Palestine. And don’t vote for Kamala to Free Palestine.

Sometimes it breaks my heart when I hear what they’ve said about me.

Now that Blue is 13, I suppose she’ll be able to work longer hours due to child labor laws and perhaps Beyoncé will have proper management.

It was only up for a few days like last January or so.

This one time it was available on YouTube before Parkwood snatched it. And I downloaded it to my tv

Someone on the other app that I haven’t deleted yet said Beyoncé been doing the same performance since Homecoming. ….. they didn’t see Renaissance, clearly. You saw a marching band and black folks and said “this the same”. I want yall to stop reaching so hard to try and be different.
