Nia Long VS Beyonce

If you haven't herd by know I am going to tell ya. In a interview with Pride Magazine (UKs version of Essence), which she was on the cover of. Nia made the fallowing statement.

"I didn’t see ‘Obsessed,’ so I can’t comment, but it’s just not about how talented you are anymore. It’s about, ‘How much box-office revenue will this person generate?’ When you see certain people – we won’t name names – they just don’t have the skill, and no one in their team has said, ‘You need acting classes,"-Nia Long


Look ya'll people are playing this like Nia is "hattin" on Beyonce. No, that's not the case. What I believe is that there is a caliber of actresses that have worked many years to establish themselves and when there are only so many roles for a sistah in mainstream movies, movie makers decide to go for someone that can line their pockets, not someone that can make an impact and may not have as many fans. Sorry to say the world we live in is all about money no if, and, buts, or whats about it. So the truth is she has a point I mean in reality Beyonce is not in the same caliber or on the same level as actresses such as Nia long, Haley Berry, Loretta Devine,Regina Hall or Regina King. She has some work to do but i will give her props for the work she has done.

Say What?

This topic of actors/actresses being vocal about singers and rappers acting is not the first we have herd of it in recent years. Samuel L. Jackson made similar comments and many agreed. He even went as far as refusing a role in the movie Get Rich or Die Trying. And there was a short lived feud between 50 cent and Samuel L Jackson. The pair later starred in the movie Home of the Brave. All I am saying is that we can not take every little article and statement and blow it up. I tell you if it wasn't apparent and evident before it is solidified know that this country LOVES DRAMA and the creation of it. That's my two cents.
