Lil Mama tells how the consequences caused depression
The 35-year-old said black leaders in the media added fuel to the fire. She labeled it “propaganda.”
“I had to deal with propaganda, which is basically from journalists like Wendy Williams to radio stations, The Breakfast Club, or even at the time, Ed Lover was there,” he said.
“I was gossiping. It wasn’t giving leadership, it wasn’t giving companionship,” Lil’ Mama added.
The actress was 20 years old at the time.
“I was hurt, I was depressed. I was like, ‘What’s going on?’ You have everyone telling you that you are doing bad. People pointing at you say, ‘What did you do?’”
She makes up with Alicia Keys and Jay-Z
In March 2023, the former ‘America’s Best Dance Crew’ judge hugged revealed publicly with Alicia Keys at an event for Teyana Taylor’s film ‘A Thousand and One’.
Jay-Z shared that he had no hard feelings towards the rapper on Twitter Spaces in 2021 as he previously did reported.
“Of course (we forgive her). Let’s go. Don’t do that. That’s our sister. Man, we love her,” said the rapper. “I wouldn’t recommend people just jump on other artists’ stages, but we don’t wish her any harm.”
At the time, Lil Mama took to Instagram to share her gratitude for the billionaire’s words.
“I appreciate hearing this part of last night’s conversation.” she shared. “That’s always been my stance, love. Love for my older brother, my older sister and my city. It brings clarity to all of us as a community to truly hear these words from our legendary leaders.”
Despite the backlash Lil Mama received in 2009, she has done some really cool things in her career. She secured leading roles in films. Most notably, critics praised her portrayal of Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes in the VH1 biopic ‘CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story’ in 2013.
