Before Nicki there was this. I loved this shit when it happened. This shit was talked about for YEARS afterward.

The look on Ms. Ross’ face right there.
Every Black woman that had a hand in raising me has given me that look at one point.
“Baby I love you, but what is you right now?”

She’ll out rehearse you, out dress you, and outperform you so you best stay out of her way. I appreciate Diana’s trip and her talent, She’s worked hard for everything she’s achieved.
