SPICE IS SO SO BEAUTIFUL..AND AWSOME IM LIBRA I THINK WE HAVE ALOT IN COMMIN....I WOULD LOVE TO MEET HER...DIS IS CHELLA FROM AUSTIN JOSES BOOO.....LOVE YA SPICE....
Mariya Bush y’all love coming with this one line. I’m getting tired of y’all, even if she did that’s her skin. You paying for the treatment to be riding her pockets like this?
Also notice how in Trinidad, Machel praised Spice for being authentic and encouraging being natural and trying not to be like the American icons whereas the guy Vaughn is just telling Spice that she needs to start from scratch. All the Caribbean people been knowing Spice since her songs with Vybz Kartel. Her star power is already cemented in the region.
As a Caribbean woman, one of the hardest things to watch was how OFTEN Spice was misunderstood because of her accent or cultural differences. So many times I wish I could jump in and be like *"that's not what she's trying to say!"* 😒lol
Right especially meme we know u black meme spice meant your not black meaning dark skinned meme your light skinned as well as the ladies in that room spice is the only dark skinned which is what she was saying
Akbar feel like she just need a hug somebody to love her like where her mother at because babygirl be having all this energy fighting but ain’t fighting for her kids that she don’t have and queen of Atlanta you’re not nobody don’t even know you at all
Am lighter than spice but I went through same thing never good enough because I am mix and I was darker than my sister and other relatives and they're make u know........so I did struggle for while an my color love u spice
I'm mixed and I understand Spice 100%. My younger cousin Nikki is dark skinned and can't tell you how many times we cried together about colorism. I always thought she was prettier than me but the world can be cruel even to children. And I hate it when people don't listen. Spice explained herself perfectly.
You nailed it, she really is and too mature for this trash. She’s absolutely gorgeous and I feel her. It’s our own race not the whites that put the light skin on a platter and bash darker complexion women. It’s really sad and I love her chocolate fine ass.
I'm not looking for sympathy, but I remember the time when i was diggin on this girl, and she straight up told me that she didn't like my skin color. Took years to find my confidence and love my skin. Melanin in all forms is beautiful
@@RaytheGrayt yasssssss don’t let no one put you down. Melanin is a gift from God. This ain’t no exaggeration like melanin does a lot of things for your body. That’s why ppl with darker eye color are less likely to get eye cancer. Like bro love yourself. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️
Spice be like "it's not about overshadowing, once you're good you're gonna stand out regardless". Well said and big up for being the bigger person. Spice is like everyone's big sister. Even with Tommie. Respect
“That’s my shoes Erica”!! 😂😂😂. Even though they got off on the wrong foot, I’m in love with Spice’s and Tokyo’s friendship. You know when Spice takes her shoes off, it’s about to be over. She’s the Cardi B of Atlanta when it comes to her shoes
As a Trinidadian I can assure you that she is the definition of a hard working and mature woman of the Caribbean, one must never mock a countries accent, she is a depiction of the natural beauty in the Caribbean whether big, small or medium we don't necessarily body shame down here not even the men, so I can understand why she didn't know. And everyone please remember to love yourself for the way you are before changing anything about yourself, don't listen to others and know that God loves you. Big up TT 👌
I grew up in Jamaica people do body shame caz dem used to call me chubby before the chubby soft drinks come out. The thing about it, it's not looked at as body shaming but as a way of running jokes. The mindset if the people just take it as jokes or pet name. Come to the states with that iish everyone is hyper sensitive.
@@CapreDiem42 your right but half of the time, it's used as an identifying marker. Because truth be told girl, we all know Caribbean ppl love all body types. We may talk on it sadly especially if your of a heavy size but that doh stopping ppl from seeing you beautiful and that damn sure not stopping you from getting man😂❤️
I always forget that Spice is a mom, I can’t imagine what it’s like to chase you’re dreams and have that international responsibility. She’s stronger than I thought! GO SPICE!
Indeed Spice is a proud Mother and she is raising them on her own, unfortunately the Dad is irresponsible and selfish. I can't imagine raising kids on my own. So hats off to the single Mothers who take care of everything on their own. Spice is very talented and very ambitious, she knows what she wants and she is dedicated to her craft.
I love Spice and Tokyo friendship. They treat each other like they sisters and even when they have issues they always resolve them and go back to being Tokyo and Spice. And I like how Tokyo didn't really judge spice with the skin bleaching.
But Spice was speaking facts about the plastic surgery and the skin bleaching. It was just such a sensitive topic that they ladues were immediately against Spice
As a white woman, I can't say I understand or relate. But I am SO proud of Spice for standing her ground and doing what makes her happy. Spice, we love you!!! Keep doing you, sis!!!
Spice turning white to show what a lot of us black girls go through everyday was a big thing & I respect her so much for spreading awareness on our behalf 🖤🖤🙌🏾
You don’t make sense! They did understand her but they were trying to tell her she didn’t need to bleach her skin to bring awareness to the situation. If that was anyone else that was dark they would’ve been “cancelled.” Keep that same energy with everyone!
@@iamaprilparish ok first of all she didn’t actually bleach her skin it was a CONCEPT PHOTO for her so which is called BLACK HYPOCRISY which talks about the colorism darkskin women face. I do make sense bc instead of understanding Mimi was yelling at her and even in her confessionals and in the scene itself she constantly shows that didn’t truly understand why Spice did what she did, she just didn’t want her to do it. Like Spice said she dissent understand bc she is a lightskin women. Idk wym by keep the same energy bc i am a darkskin women and i fully understand what it was the she was trying to do so if it was anyone else i would have understood. Maybe there’s a reason as to why YOU don’t understand🌚
People are sooo foolish its about showing how women are being treated as a black woman. Not actually bleaching her skin. She is portraying herself as a white woman in the video to show this is what Hollywood wants us to do in order to become successful in their eyes and it's the weaker ones that fall for the trap lol.
"Don't mock mi bomboclaat accent!!!" Seriously, it's a damn insult from ppl that follow us Jamaicans or Caribbean with our style and talent. Also our accents are sexy!!
I saw that, I was like awwww she looks so proud and happy, vs when they kept tryna fight each other, I'm glad they were able to get past that and are cool now.
"ME nuh changing nuttin to please nobody" powerful sentence right there, she is fully booked elsewhere america just needs to give dark skinned women oportunities.
No because spice made it seem like she bleached her skin for real, they asked multiple times if she bleached her skin in real life and she kept dogging the question so you cannot blame them for getting angry with spice
@Nubian Empress if you’re smart enough to come up with that conclusion, then you’re smart enough to understand that something that’s common sense to you may not be common sense to others, clearly they thought that she was able to augment her skin color by their reaction to spices appearance, so Mimi and the other girls most likely weren’t educated when it came to the topic of skin bleaching, they just went off out what they seen in the moment which was blasphemy in their eyes, they were shocked, scared and concerned so you cannot blame them for how the reacted
It was frustrating cause as a dark skinned black woman IT WAS AND STILL IS harder for us than the caramel and French vanilla sistahs!!! They never dealt with the shit we dealt with so they couldn’t understand but if they actually LISTENED to her then they would see where she was coming from. However, the makeup to look lighter was a major no! She should have stayed herself and advocated harder.
It makes me sad that they were so quick to react with anger when they saw Spice at her photo shoot. And when she explained that she was making it a point to call attention to the colorism that dark-skinned women go through, they didn’t even TRY to understand or be sympathetic. Thank God that Spice is a secure, strong woman who KNOWS her worth and her beauty, because their reaction could’ve really impacted her in a negative way. Because not even her friends tried to understand her.
She was going to legit bleach her skin, they understand her struggle anyone with compassion can, but bleaching is absolutely not ok. I’m a black women my self, the were trying to talk her out of something that is life change most of the women who do It and regret it, there are so many health problems and things that can go wrong, I think the situation blew out of proportions.
@@trinityridenhour3416 fake morality, their too light to recognize colorism and they were gaslighting her talking points and invalidating her experience as a DSBW. Blind to their privilege and their place in the black heirarchy just like white folks that deny racism and preach post racial solidarity. It's all bullshit. They wanted to silence her and she didn't allow it. Kudos to her. DSBW have no allies in women like this.
Who else was so glad to see VH1 introduce their American audience to Trini soca artists like Machel and Destra??? And Machel dropping that knowledge about realness?!? And Caribbean artists from different islands and genres coming together to support each other?!?!? 👏👏👏
Smt that made me soooo mad !!! And I’m light skinned, I absolutely get what spice was saying and I love how she shocked the hell out of us all to get her point across, while promoting her album 💅🏽
I dont get why mimi was getting mad at spice making awareness in her own way like you aren't a dark-skinned women dealing with the things that Spice does.
Spice is definitely right about the colorism. I'm as dark as her and I went through it as a fellow Jamaican in Jamaica, you have to be dark skinned to understand how awful it is to see people not love the skin that God put them in and saying that "u would look better if u were of a lighter skin", God makes no mistakes with our complexion. We are beautiful just the way we are. Full time the world accept it.
How you the queen of atl n keeping going n beg kandi for money everytime.... Just like pooh they need to remove her ass from the show.. Karlie drama is enough for me
He’s be in a casket messing with me. I don’t play games nor. Would I have put up with that I love from experience if he’s gonna do it once he’ll def do it again period
“She wanna be the principal so bad.” Lol. 😂 I felt that. I can’t stand a nosy wannabee-peacemaker . If I don’t fool with someone then I don’t fool with them. LEAVE ME ALONE 😩
As someone from the Caribbean, I can tell you that it doesn't matter which island you're from we all understand each other's accents somehow😂😂 and the interactions between them from 21:34 - 24:22 are some of the realist I've seen on reality TV.🇹🇹
I love this one all the women apologizing to another and giving understanding are so beautiful. I love seeing black women truly caring for one another regardless of them fighting.
Spice is gorgeous the way she is . That's what's wrong with the industry they always wana change your look . New ass new skin, new face new clothes it's truly sickening the way the industry makes these women feel insecure when they need to stay the way they are and love themselves. I appreciate you spice for doing what you did and staying true to yourself
Self love & self security is so damn important 🧘🏻♀️ when you truly know who you are, you won’t concern yourself with the brain washed, corrupted society views of the public whatsoever. I wish more healing for people because people don’t need all of that extra shit.
@Melissa Diamond I've always understood why Kim did that. The sad thing is that it's mostly black people who talk about her. Look at what Missy had to go through. Half of the darker brown girls bleached their skin. Like Beyoncé, Ciara, and Nicki. So people who don't act like they see it are in denial. And I'm light skinned and see it.
@Melissa DiamondI don’t think they came at her like that because they don’t understand just because they are a lighter skin complexion I think they came at her the way they did to get her to understand that bleaching your skin because of the way society talks down on dark skin women isn’t bringing awareness to anything . Giving society what they want isn’t empowerment it’s a form of weakness , embracing your darkskin is empowering showing other darkskin women or girls that they can embrace there darkskin is empowering , not letting society take control and bleaching your skin to give society what they want.
And I’m not saying darkskin women don’t struggle because although I’m not darkskin I’ve witnessed Colorism towards darker skin women I’m just saying that bleaching isnt the way to bring awareness
MiMi but your daughter is a lighter skin female. YOU are a lighter skin female. So of course you will NEVER understand what Spice is saying. She never said she was going to bleach her skin she said she’s raising awareness.
Having followed Spice for years and knowing that she loves her skin color I don’t think she meant she was going to bleach her skin. I only think this because one MiMi and Rahsheeda were coming at her hard. They wouldn’t even allow her to explain nor did they care to see her point of view in that scene. Spice was never going to bleach her skin. But what she did want is for the awareness to be presented. However, I do understand your response.
@@daynasmith7616 in the season she went to the doctors to bleach her skin and they said she needed a psych evaluation she walked out but she was gonna do it
@@scarlettestrella8 got chu. I definitely remember that. In my opinion I just think she was putting on for the cameras. But I do remember that scene now that you have mentioned it.
Tokyo literally would of took Spice head off wt that purse if Spice ain't have cat like reflexes, Spice ducked like she was playing dodgeball, The whole thing was pure comedy.
I look back on this and all I can say and think is GRAMMY NOMINATED SPICE! Stay true to self and you will receive every desire of your heart. I love her frfr.
EXACTLY when I first heard she was joining lhhatl me and my sister were like.... she's KNOOWWNN in north America just as much as the Jamaica. The black community as a whole already knows her
@@khevalishimaka7744 Exactly, to me she's already a big artist. I'm from UK & she's known well here, been a fan for over a decade. She never needed to step onto this show.
@@shamarab4632 And that’s the sad part. At least if you don’t relate, try to show some empathy and understand. They both have dark skinned kids. They gotta learn. 😪
I think Mimi's mindset was on embracing the color of her skin and the shock of Spice saying she wanted to bleach her skin and less about the struggle that spice herself is going through. I would tell spice not to do it too. She's gorgeous exactly as she is!
@@kaceyhartling1422 Mmm... but that’s wasn’t the point of why Spice was doing it. And when she try explain it to her, Mimi acted like she didn’t wanna hear it. That’s why I feel like you don’t have to agree but at least come from a place of trying to understand what is going on. You know what I mean? It is well tho
