Kiely’s sister, T’shawna, also alleged that when Adrienne began dating Rob Kardashian, she gravitated towards the Kardashian family, leading to a drift in her friendship with Kiely. Moreover, T’shawna publicly criticized Adrienne on social media, accusing her of involvement with married men and holding her responsible for the rift within the Tudor girls group after nude photos of her surfaced, which violated Disney’s regulations. This perspective sheds light on their side of the story. Consequently, it’s conceivable that Adrienne might not be inclined to reconcile with Kiely or her family due to the underlying tension. Although Adrienne never explicitly addressed the reasons for their fallout, hints dropped during her appearances on The Real suggest there may have been valid motives. While she refrained from mentioning Kiely by name, her remarks hinted at unresolved issues.
Adrienne hinted at past conflicts on The Real, recalling instances where she felt scrutinized for her appearance and rumored gossip seemingly linked back to her former friend. Despite her initial reluctance to acknowledge any jealousy, Adrienne’s mother cautioned her about the dynamics, warning her to be cautious of their friendship, which she described as more of a “frenemy” relationship.
As for the question about potentially reuniting for music projects or a biopic, that remains uncertain.
I don’t believe in saying ‘never.’ Naturi is such an amazing person. Seeing her thrive on Power and now being pregnant—it’s surreal. We practically grew up together, sharing bunk beds. Now, to think about where we are—married and expecting—it hits you with a sense of aging, doesn’t it? As for Kiely, I haven’t crossed paths with her lately.
Now, regarding Adrienne’s remarks, let’s tread carefully because some of it is hearsay. Adrienne’s rift with Kiely likely has its reasons. Kiely also addressed the rumors about tensions during the Cheetah Girls 2 filming. There’s this clip of Raven mentioning a near brush with jail during filming, but let’s chat about it, shall we?
Raven and I go way back. She’s been like a mother figure, especially during the Cheetah Girls era. She kept me grounded, trust me. Without her, who knows what trouble I would’ve found myself in. But let’s clear the air.
There were whispers about a spat between Raven and Kiely, but Kiely has set the record straight. Allegations surfaced that Kiely attempted to out Raven, but she vehemently denies it. Kiely came forward to address this head-on. She woke up to a storm of accusations and went live to clarify. The idea of her outing Raven? It’s just not in her character. She’s upset about the insinuations of homophobia too. So, let’s be clear: she didn’t, and she’d never do something like that. End of story.
In this instance, I tend to believe Kiely. It seems unlikely she’d out Raven, particularly given that Raven hadn’t publicly disclosed her sexual orientation at that time. Therefore, Kiely’s statement regarding this matter appears credible. Regarding the alleged altercation, there’s speculation that Raven’s co-star Orlando Brown spread the rumor, but Kiely has denied any involvement in a fight with Raven. Thus, her denial may indeed hold truth.
Furthermore, Kiely has addressed her past conflicts with Naturi Naughton. Naturi, a former member of Kiely’s previous girl group, 3LW, spoke about her negative experiences within the group, including an incident where Kiely reportedly threw food at her during a dispute. This altercation was significant, as it contributed to the dissolution of 3LW, with Naturi publicly revealing details about their internal conflicts on a radio show hosted by Wendy Williams.
Naturi recounted the incident, describing a heated argument where insults were exchanged before Kiely abruptly threw a plate of food, including mashed potatoes, at her, resulting in a messy and distressing situation. This incident served as a breaking point for Naturi, prompting her to reconsider her involvement in the group and highlight the detrimental influence of adults in their career trajectory. The pressure to conform to certain standards of success, rather than allowing their authentic talents to shine, ultimately contributed to their downfall.
So, did the altercation really occur at KFC?
“Yes, indeed, we did have an altercation. I expressed, ‘I’m not the one seeking to remove myself from the group.’ It’s understandable to feel upset about the news spreading, whether it’s from Wendy Williams or elsewhere, because it’s accurate. There were heated exchanges, names were called, and regrettable words were spoken. In the heat of the moment, Kiely retaliated by throwing a plate of food, including mashed potatoes and chicken, at me. Feeling disrespected and frustrated, I decided to leave. Despite being in Atlanta, I encountered difficulties securing a flight home. My road manager declined assistance, claiming no obligation. This left me in a vulnerable position, fearing further escalation. I refused to subject myself to potential harm and booked my own flight.”
The incident occurred while Naturi was in the car with 3LW’s managers, who coincidentally were Kiely’s mother and sister, Michelle and T’shawna Williams. Michelle directed her frustration towards Naturi, accusing her of leaking information to Wendy Williams, prompting a heated confrontation. Kiely and Adrienne intervened, culminating in the food-throwing incident. Ultimately, the conflict stemmed from management issues, with Naturi bearing the brunt of their dissatisfaction.
Kiely and her mother, Michelle Williams, issued a response to Naturi, stating:
“I’m faced with a choice between letting go of my baby sister and a plate of food? As I extend my hand towards someone’s neck, my instinct is to cradle my baby sister in my arms. So, why would I toss aside the chicken? That’s just wasteful. And as for going for someone’s neck, I’m not ashamed of it. Insult my mom, and I’m ready to step up, throwing punches, food, whatever it takes. I’ve got my claws out, ready to defend, that’s right, a woman. What else would you expect? I appreciate her standing up for me, but I also love her. She mentioned I left her at KFC. We didn’t realize it. We went to the hotel, and then our road manager clarified. The funny part was she seemed fine, texting away in the car, but when she stepped out and met the rep, she goes, ‘Oh, is her face black?’ That was a genuine question.”
“Yeah, at that time, that was our biggest moneymaker. Isn’t that our biggest regret now? Not coming clean about what happened? But hold on, hear me out. We just scored our first-ever number-one song. We weren’t prepared for this. We weren’t prepared for Natori leaving. Why would we kick someone out when we just hit number one? We were thrilled to be on TRL, even though we looked clueless. I remember, I was tongue-tied, so I blurted out, ‘I’m allergic to drama.’ I had no clue what to say. Looking back, sure, we should’ve had a better PR team. They should’ve guided us through the crisis. No, no, no, money, you’re being distracting. I really wish we could’ve handled it better at the time and been honest about what happened. But we were young, and everything about our group, the reason it was formed, my mom’s entire vision, was to show that three or more black women from diverse backgrounds could come together, so every girl watching could relate and say, ‘Oh, I’m like her, oh, I’m like her, oh, I’m like her.'”
“So, everything that transpired that night and in the lead-up to it was completely contrary to our mission. It threw us off track because it contradicted the core values of our group. We struggled to figure out how to realign ourselves because it undermined everything we stood for.”
“I’m not sure what you mean by ‘common denominator.’ Honestly, I’m baffled. The only common thread seems to be people wrongly accusing me of things I didn’t do. I’ve asked, ‘Can you show me instances where all these group members have directly accused me?’ Or is it more like, ‘One person had an issue, and suddenly everyone’s pointing fingers at me?’ I don’t believe I owe anyone an apology, especially not Adrienne. And as for Naturi, any potential apology is overshadowed by the outright falsehoods and hurtful comments she’s made about my family. So, no, I’m not interested. I won’t apologize. That’s my stance. I’m sorry, but not sorry, not to her, not to anyone.”
“I’m not claiming to be a saint, but I’m not the worst person either. My friends see me as nice, while those who don’t like me might see me differently. That’s just part of being human, isn’t it? Reflecting on it now, I realize I was deeply unhappy, which may have contributed to why some found me difficult. As for Kiely acknowledging her own difficulty, it’s worth noting that she’s had conflicts with three former group members, yet those members seem to get along fine without her. It’s plausible that she’s the source of the issues, but she deserves the chance to address rumors and share her perspective. Moving on to the next topic…”
Drake sent shockwaves through the internet when he unveiled snapshots of his son, Adonis. This revelation caught many off guard, given Drake’s typically guarded stance regarding his son. The revelation stemmed from Pusha T’s disclosure to the public about Drake’s fatherhood, intending to integrate it into his Adidas campaign. Pusha T also disclosed that Drake’s child’s mother was Sophie, a former adult film performer. This bombshell sent social media into a frenzy, prompting Drake’s response: “I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world, I was hiding the world from my kid.” However, Drake has since shed his secrecy surrounding Adonis, sharing images of him and his child’s mother on social media alongside a heartfelt Instagram message. Although I won’t delve into the entire message, the closing sentiment resonated deeply: “I love and miss my beautiful family and friends and I can’t wait for the joyful day when we were all able to reunite. Until then, please keep your lights on.”
Witnessing Drake’s public acknowledgment of his son and family genuinely touched me. It’s evident that Drake grappled with concerns about sharing his son with the world, both out of a desire to shield him and to avoid external criticism. Nevertheless, his recent actions reflect a newfound embrace of fatherhood, marking a positive step in his personal growth. Despite the heartwarming nature of Drake’s post, I found the commentary on his son’s appearance disheartening. Many seemed perplexed by Adonis’ blonde hair and blue eyes, overlooking the basic principles of genetics. As Drake is biracial, inheriting traits from his Caucasian mother, it’s natural for his son to exhibit similar features. People should refrain from questioning Adonis’ appearance or paternity, as Drake has already confirmed undergoing a paternity test.
To be honest, I underwent a DNA test for my son, but the results were inconclusive due to the test getting damaged during transit. It left me in an uncertain position, hesitant to proclaim his paternity without certainty. However, if you’ve seen my son, you’d understand the resemblance. His striking features, particularly his vivid blue eyes, are undeniable. It wasn’t until a week before the album release that I received definitive confirmation. I had to undergo two additional tests with different companies to confirm his parentage. I included this clip to dispel any doubts about his paternity; indeed, he is my son. Moreover, he bears a strong resemblance to his mother, Sandy, leaving no room for skepticism. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this video.
