Ms. Gilbert was very unlikable on RnB Divas...but so are plenty of talented people. Personality does not preclude proof. If she can prove it, she should go for it.

Que, I love the direction your channel is going. I respect and love how you’re still giving us the “tea” but you’re challenging your viewers to think logically and look at things from a different perspective and how it can be applied to our own life. You’re articulating the issues, giving us some insight from behind the scenes, while giving lighthearted shade/comedy and it’s very entertaining and intriguing to watch.
It’s SO GOOD! I miss when he’d sing to us tho! 😂 But yes! So insightful! He is so smart!! I wish he posted more but if you dont PLEASE watch Fox Soul! Him, Al Reynolds, and Claudia Jordan have a show on there that’s FIRE! Right on UA-cam too!
Regardless of how ppl feel about Nicci, as a creative, you don’t want your shit stolen with no credit that you’ve work so hard on. But still, give us season 2! 🗣🗣😭😭
100%, and the product does not have to match your product 100%. Let's be clear, Nikki didn't have the coins to produce a high level version. And, you don't have to liked to win a law case. It is not about popularity in a court of law. The same people telling Nikki to sit down are the same people who said "Blur Lines" was not a rip off of Marvin Gaye's song. Any fool with common sense could hear it from the start. LOL But, I know we have people dumb as rocks now days. LOL
Somebody in the comments say “this got Patrice woodbine written all over it “ when I say I fell tf out!!! 😭😭 iykyk…. But tbh I don’t put nothing past hollywood they stole matrix from that black lady & terminator anything is possible
He’s right. But the reason why Nicci is getting ate up the way she is is because she’s already left a BAD TASTE in the public’s eyes because of how she acted on R&B Divas. But Nicci DEFINITELY has a case….
He also stated that initially he was using the public not liking her against her too! And tbt how boss this blog is had he and nicci not spoken he would have STILL done it.
I wonder if this lawsuit has anything to do with the fact that they’ve been prolonging season 2 of pvalley… Every time they have a “date” it seems to be be pushed back.
@@jaileta19 i thought it was covid at first too because you know the extras they cast are the same ones running to atl and miami with no masks on lol but they in my mind im like no it cant be because when networks have a daye the season has already been shot with the exception of sitcoms
You are right. It was Nicci’s & Kelly Prices appearance on R&B Divas that turned me off from them. Between that show, the Missinf Kelly Price drama, she appears to always be in something, so I also dismissed the article.
They need to bring those diva shows back. R&b and Hollywood. Those were good shows. I don’t know why they were canceled. One thing about it the show showed us true personalities behind the acting and singing. Nicky didn’t look too good on that show. I remember
No that the fall of celebrity culture. Reality TV and social media. I don't want to know them.cause you.end up not.liking them and then their image is tornish
@@mickaellaeasley5960 I’ve said this so many times.. if you truly have talent there’s no need to share so much on social media because it truly can become easy to dislike a person’s personality and stop supporting them because of who they seem to be in real life.. people hate Bey doesn’t share a lot butttt I get it.. what you share should just come from your art and let it be what it is.. THOUGH I love me some r&b divas
Still don’t care for Nicci, but if this is all facts, she deserves recognition/compensation. I definitely was one of the people who rolled their eyes. Yes, let her have her day in court.

I remember that play Soul Kitten’s Cabaret. I mean, there are some similarities between the two but P-Valley is DEFINITELY different from the play. Just saying. Sooooo Nicci better have some concrete evidence to prove her case. Nevertheless, I need season 2 of P-Valley to come out IMMEDIATELY!
Folks are in everyone's comments trolling. In this comment, they're saying we're ignorant because concrete evidence isn't needed, and in another comment they're saying Tatiana Ali lost her case because she didn't have concrete evidence. 😂🤔
I see seeds in a few clips from the play ie the casinos wanting to take over, the owner, how Brandy came in. However P Valley is so much more developed in storylines and characters. So this will be interesting. To me it's like Fatal Attraction vs. Obsessed.
Now I remember Soul Kittens Cabaret, I watched it enough to know that the plots are too different. Soul Kittens Cabaret was a musical, Faith Evan and Fantasia both were in it playing a demon and an Angel betting over the lives of the dancers. and while it did have a gay club owner, he never wore drag. The main character was a sweet innocent girl wanting to be a soul kitten cause her granddaddy used to visit the club and talk about it. The club was on the verge of being sold, and Nikki Gilbert’s character was a plus size dancer going through beef with her husband and he was a drug dealer, but she wasn’t running from him. And the only scammer was Monifah’s character blackmailing doctors for prescriptions Soul Kittens was not a strip club, there was no mother/daughter beefs They are not the same projects, P-valley may have been inspired. The detail we’re also missing is DEMETRIA MCKINNEY was in the original unfilmed production. Nikki needs to sit down, why wait 2 years to sue them now?
If I remember correctly, this story was out when P Valley was on air. Maybe it took a while for the lawyers to get the evidence together and for the courts to put it back on the docket after COVID.
Appreciate how Q is able to think critically and be objective about the issue esp considering how he used to read Nicci Gilbert back in the day lol. Much respect.
I wonder how long Nikki has been building her case. Did she see similarities when P-valley was a stage play or only once it made it to the Starz series stage?
It’s actually important, monetarily, to wait for something to blow before you sue. Perfect example, if you’ve ever heard of Garrett’s popcorn they used the term “Chicago mix” for multiple years. They became super popular for this “Chicago mix” (caramel popcorn mixed with cheese popcorn). Next thing you know, another company came from out of nowhere and sued them and won. They let them build the brand and coins and came and hit them with the boom. Garrett still makes the mix, but can’t use the name “Chicago mix” anymore.
Unfortunately it sounds like Nicci was ahead of her time and she shopped around an idea that entertainment wasn’t ready for yet. I hope she wins if the show is an identical copy of her earlier projects. I want to see black women win but not by stepping on other black women. That casting isn’t coincidental at all
Uncle Clifford is too distinct of a character for that to be happenstance. Needless to say, Katori Hall is very lettered in film and creative writing. She is, as you say, in charge of the girls. P-Valley is based on Hall's play "Pussy Valley" , which premiered in 2015, though it could still be Nicci's intellectual property.
Memphian Katori Hall's "Pussy Valley " is named after a housing project in Memphis where allegedly plenty of exotic dancers (newbies) lived IN the LATE 1990's. That being stated...IN that housing development there was a BOOSTER/HairStylist/ Babysitter that identified as CIS who supported the newbies with their careers.
I’m glad you did this video. Unbiased view..regardless of how she behaved on a reality show..her idea belongs to her and if it indeed was stolen they need to run her a check
Nicci is an innovative genius, you don’t work under MJ like that and become a fool. I have so much respect for her. I hope she recoups everything she deserves. She’s nobody’s push over, that’s for sure
This is the same mess that happened to the guy who did the Set It Off play first. They took his concept, added stars to the roster and rolled with it. It’s sad that people take ideas from innocent people.
Yes! And it's what happened to the black lady who pitched both the Matrix and the Terminator around Hollywood and was told no and then look what happened.
@@ashleywatkins1380 just make sure before you pitch, your work is copyrighted. It only takes someone with more cash and/or solid backing to dip with your idea and get it to the masses before you. Be careful sis!
Do you know the guy’s name that you said wrote the original before the movie? I’m trying to research but can’t find anything, other than the play that they say was based on the movie in recent years.
She's the reason why R&B Divas was canceled. My question is why did she wait until after P-Valley was successful to sue? If my idea was taken...off the top we got a problem.
I'm only watching this to hear Funky's take on this story. IDG2F'S about these folks or know them. I don't even watch P-Valley. What Q said made sense. Time and good lawyer's will tell the true story.
Good Morning. I just rolled over and grabbed my phone and saw Q dropped a video. And then I said why is Nicci trying to F*** up the thanggg! Y’all wanna talk about! Not really! I’m just here for Q!
The only argument she might have is that the club was trying to be taken over by a casino and Uncle Clifford's character but this story line has played out in many other plays and shows. Why now?
@@dannychristopher1967 I agree if Nicci has a case then there are quite a few others that can circle the block to try and sue. There is nothing original about movies inspired by the strip club it’s the same story EVERY TIME just different faces.
I'm one of the few people that really like Nicci and I was skeptical at first but thank you for this because I really think her business sense is phenomenal, I wish all parties the best
Bravo 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 Funky! I feel like I am watching the rebirth of something really great in the makings. Very informative and funny at the same time. Thank you for being unapologetically you! You are very special ❤
I had to go off The Tea program, to commend you on the comment you made on the Tea about the church. I've been churching for decades. I have not attended church in 3 years. Like you, I don't miss it!!!!!. Please speak more on this.
Also in Soul Kittens, The town is building Casinos, and they're trying to buy the Soul Kittens property to make it a casino as well.. I do remember the mayor wanted to sell the Pynk to investors that are building casinos in the town on P-Valley.. It does make you ???
Katori did a PLAY first, that’s where P-Valley came from. Why didn’t Nicci sue about the play? She’s suing about the show, which came from Katori’s play. Nicci is going about it wrong?
I'm sorry, I saw th the play here on UA-cam. Like you said it's very boys club, girls club, high school production. So both of the owners are gender fluid, and losing the club. She waits 2 years to file. Miss me with the BS. This lawsuit is stupid.
Thanks for the comparison of the two clips and how different they were, but then how other scenes we so similar, this helps to put things into perspective
Dineva girllllllll!!!! You would call about this after I’ve been binging P-Valley again down to the STARZ app 🤣🤣🤣 “down in the valley where the girls get nayyyykeeeddd, if you throwing bandz then you know she gon shake it 1, 2 break em’ 3,4 rake em’” I love “Ma’Cedes”, Uncle Clifford, lil Murda, Miss MI crooked letter crooked letter I and Diamond ol’ fine ass. I love Chucalissa and I can’t WAIT for season two!!! I usually choose the money over loveeeee… yeah you can have it Idgaf, tonight she got me bout to give it up! All because… I’m fallin”🤣🤣
Damn Dineva, I was one of those people out here tearing Nikki up BUT since you said all that you got me thinking 🤔 AND I'm gonna let her have her day in court, and I'll keep my opinions to myself until the outcome...Damn, Damn, Damn (in my Florida Evans voice)
There’s a movie that came out in 2010 with Cher and Christina Aguilera called Burlesque. Same idea and same concept. Night club, singing, May go out of business but ultimately saved. All the stories in these types of shows/movies will have overlapping verbiage, conversations, etc.
OMG this is exactly what I was thinking while watching this. On top of the fact that P valley is based off a play called pussy valley they just of course couldn't use the real name on TV.
I find it really weird that we're here in 2022 after all these movements and we're basing our characterizations off of scripted TV because I don't care what you say reality TV is scripted. But I find it really sad that this is like everyone glorifying friends when we clearly know that's a rip off and how we just kind of trivializing someone's creative works. For the sake of our enjoyment. Glad I never watched the show I mean I live that in reality so what's the use of me watching the show like that.
So this is my question. If those scenes are very identical. Then THOSE SCENES may have been copied; but is that equivalent to the ENTIRE WORK being copied?
@@Fat_n_fine exactly no emotions or feelings. im reading the comments. its sad. you ain't got to like her but if someone has intellectual property and they use it you have all right to sue.
@@Fat_n_fine you are so right. People don't understand that. I remember the same thing happen with the Ali gurl from fresh prince. She picthed the show to the network they stole her idea. the only way she lost because she didn't have any concrete evidence such as trademark or pilot video etc. She went in their talking and they was writing.
@@DC45193 Yup! It was the Real that she pitched to network executives. I was also lost in that story because Loni Love on a few episodes in the past also said that the Real was her idea.

I saw an interview with Gigi cohost of Angela Yee"s Lip Service was on a vlog about Magic City dancer and her story was almost identical to that of Mercedes. The thing about creatives....remember the whole Pussy Cat Dolls being accused of stealing Elise Neal's idea....yeah Nicci needs to go sit down. Burden of proof is tough.

@@ashleywatkins1380 just make sure before you pitch, your work is copyrighted. It only takes someone with more cash and/or solid backing to dip with your idea and get it to the masses before you. Be careful sis!
Do you know the guy’s name that you said wrote the original before the movie? I’m trying to research but can’t find anything, other than the play that they say was based on the movie in recent years.
Nicci acted such a fool on that reality show that I have no sympathy for her in this situation....sad but true.
She's the reason why R&B Divas was canceled. My question is why did she wait until after P-Valley was successful to sue? If my idea was taken...off the top we got a problem.
@@Marche281 that’s usually when you sue. Why do it before the show comes out when you don’t even know it’s been stolen until it’s already aired.
It's the N-burst ad for me! 🤣🤣🤣 I be feeling so read and exposed
Rightttttt😁😭😭😂😂
New Years Resi-Lies.... I'm using it 😂😂
Oh well at least we got one season of P-Valley. Who knows if or when we will get a new season.
Season 2 comes out this year. I mean we did get hit with Covid
This is sad for everyone involved, especially the fans of the show. It could really be the end of PValley.
Good morning, getting ready for work and I must say your camera set up is clear and crisp, almost looks 3D like your sitting in my room, good job!
"Nikki Gil-BERG" tickles me! 🤣😂
Every damn time
If this I true, I pray for Justice for Nicci Gilbert. If this is true, I pray total damages are recovered for her.
I'm only watching this to hear Funky's take on this story. IDG2F'S about these folks or know them. I don't even watch P-Valley. What Q said made sense. Time and good lawyer's will tell the true story.
P Valley is EVERYTHING! Check it out for sure 😄
Please watch P-Valley
Nessa girl your timing is everything... it's snowing outside. I'm indoors with my cup of coffee.
Ahhh.🌞⛱️☕...What a Great way to start the morning...Glad you made an early vid. Thank you 🙏🏼😊💗
🗣🗣🗣The intro be killing me 😂😂😂😂
Every time!
Idgaf whose idea it was, brang us the season 2 !!!
Period 😂
Same.thing I said. This their problem
Soul Kittens Cabaret. I remember that play. Watched it on Netflix years ago. 😲
Morning friend. I’m up getting ready for work hope you have a blessed day!
Likewise 🤓✌🏼 Happy work day Everyone🌏
Not “ DOWN IN THE VALLEY WHERE DA GIRLS GET NAKED “?? I was so hype for a season two but with this lawsuit it might be delayed further😨
Good Morning. I just rolled over and grabbed my phone and saw Q dropped a video. And then I said why is Nicci trying to F*** up the thanggg! Y’all wanna talk about! Not really! I’m just here for Q!
I guess Player's Club stole her idea too. I see why her and Kelly Price are friends. They are delusional and crazy.
😭😭😂😭🤗righttttttt
You are so RIGHT 🤣🤣🤣
Righttttt bc Autumn’s character definitely looks inspired by Diamond from players club
The only argument she might have is that the club was trying to be taken over by a casino and Uncle Clifford's character but this story line has played out in many other plays and shows. Why now?
@@dannychristopher1967 I agree if Nicci has a case then there are quite a few others that can circle the block to try and sue. There is nothing original about movies inspired by the strip club it’s the same story EVERY TIME just different faces.
Ooooh Chile, I’m laying in my bed listening to the rain, minding my business and this notification popped up. Right on time!!
I'm one of the few people that really like Nicci and I was skeptical at first but thank you for this because I really think her business sense is phenomenal, I wish all parties the best
Now I am wondering if this lawsuit is the Season 2 delay or is it Covid 🤔
They were filming in Ga last week.
Great questions
I can’t wait!
Bravo 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 Funky! I feel like I am watching the rebirth of something really great in the makings. Very informative and funny at the same time. Thank you for being unapologetically you! You are very special ❤
Mannnnn that intro has me holla’n😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You and me both 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Things that make you go “hmmmm 🧐🤔”
Um. Damn I spoke too soon. Maybe Nicci got a case...it doesn't hurt to try I guess
I DONT CARE P VALLY IS MY SHOW!!
CANT WAIT TILL SEASON 2
Yup
ME TOO
I had to go off The Tea program, to commend you on the comment you made on the Tea about the church. I've been churching for decades. I have not attended church in 3 years. Like you, I don't miss it!!!!!. Please speak more on this.
Morning!!!! Thank you for content !! I’ve been bored without you !!!!! Lol 😂
The ad for that nurta burst got me damn CRYING! 😂😭😭😭
Also in Soul Kittens, The town is building Casinos, and they're trying to buy the Soul Kittens property to make it a casino as well.. I do remember the mayor wanted to sell the Pynk to investors that are building casinos in the town on P-Valley.. It does make you ???
Why don't we ever receive information and say, "I'll wait for the facts before passing judgment"?
Good morning, Q! 🤗
I think you meant to type Ripping "OFF". If u care to fix. Can't wait to watch.
You're intro to the tea is hilarious!!! Damn I need the tea!
Katori did a PLAY first, that’s where P-Valley came from. Why didn’t Nicci sue about the play? She’s suing about the show, which came from Katori’s play. Nicci is going about it wrong?
Did you see her 'play'?? Have you read the script of her 'play'? You so smart ur dumb! Read the court docs and find out who, and why.. Ms Lawyer lol
She didn’t sue about the play because she just heard it through the grapevine
@@Phillybags 🤣🤣🤣
Nessa girl you called and I answered!!!
If they took her idea, run Nicki her coins. Funky, what's with the hand brace? Don't tell me you have the tunnel? Carpal Tunnel. Mend up soon.
Go to his IG.. He was running drunk the other night and fell
@@blanchedevereaux4820 dang
I absolutely agree!!! Nikki an Kelly price!!! I can’t stand them !!! Period!!!!
Annnddd... I've been so patiently waiting on season2 of P-Valley 🙄😭💃🏾
I'm sorry, I saw th the play here on UA-cam. Like you said it's very boys club, girls club, high school production. So both of the owners are gender fluid, and losing the club. She waits 2 years to file. Miss me with the BS. This lawsuit is stupid.
You do realize it takes time to build a case and present evidence right? Without substantial evidence, there is no case.
Thanks for the comparison of the two clips and how different they were, but then how other scenes we so similar, this helps to put things into perspective
Katori Hall’s stage play Pussy Valley turned into the show P-Valley. How, Sway?! WE BETTA GET A SEASON 2‼️
“Is your fat ass still keeping up with your New Years reso-LIES?!?!” That always takes me OuT!!! 💀 😂
Dineva girllllllll!!!! You would call about this after I’ve been binging P-Valley again down to the STARZ app 🤣🤣🤣 “down in the valley where the girls get nayyyykeeeddd, if you throwing bandz then you know she gon shake it 1, 2 break em’ 3,4 rake em’” I love “Ma’Cedes”, Uncle Clifford, lil Murda, Miss MI crooked letter crooked letter I and Diamond ol’ fine ass. I love Chucalissa and I can’t WAIT for season two!!! I usually choose the money over loveeeee… yeah you can have it Idgaf, tonight she got me bout to give it up! All because… I’m fallin”🤣🤣
Lord have mercy!!!!! Plz lady let the show continue plz. You should have sd something SEASON DAMM 1!!! PLZ GO HAVE SEVERAL SEATS
Damn Dineva, I was one of those people out here tearing Nikki up BUT since you said all that you got me thinking 🤔 AND I'm gonna let her have her day in court, and I'll keep my opinions to myself until the outcome...Damn, Damn, Damn (in my Florida Evans voice)
There’s a movie that came out in 2010 with Cher and Christina Aguilera called Burlesque. Same idea and same concept. Night club, singing, May go out of business but ultimately saved. All the stories in these types of shows/movies will have overlapping verbiage, conversations, etc.
😂😂😂 right
Right no new content for those reality shows they have run out of time #GetAJob✅📲
💯
OMG this is exactly what I was thinking while watching this. On top of the fact that P valley is based off a play called pussy valley they just of course couldn't use the real name on TV.
I find it really weird that we're here in 2022 after all these movements and we're basing our characterizations off of scripted TV because I don't care what you say reality TV is scripted.
But I find it really sad that this is like everyone glorifying friends when we clearly know that's a rip off and how we just kind of trivializing someone's creative works. For the sake of our enjoyment. Glad I never watched the show I mean I live that in reality so what's the use of me watching the show like that.
So this is my question. If those scenes are very identical. Then THOSE SCENES may have been copied; but is that equivalent to the ENTIRE WORK being copied?
If anything is copied and credit not given it discredits the whole thing.
@@Fat_n_fine exactly no emotions or feelings. im reading the comments. its sad. you ain't got to like her but if someone has intellectual property and they use it you have all right to sue.
@@DC45193 they stressed that when writing in school. Cite your information. You can fail a whole class because of one paper or project.
@@Fat_n_fine you are so right. People don't understand that. I remember the same thing happen with the Ali gurl from fresh prince. She picthed the show to the network they stole her idea. the only way she lost because she didn't have any concrete evidence such as trademark or pilot video etc. She went in their talking and they was writing.
@@DC45193 Yup! It was the Real that she pitched to network executives. I was also lost in that story because Loni Love on a few episodes in the past also said that the Real was her idea.
Why do people do this, smh. I wish whoever has the rights to it, receive what's owed to them, periodt👈🏾👈🏾👈🏾. So, now I understand the hold up. My apologies but I'm hoping for another season soon. Blessings everyone 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I saw an interview with Gigi cohost of Angela Yee"s Lip Service was on a vlog about Magic City dancer and her story was almost identical to that of Mercedes. The thing about creatives....remember the whole Pussy Cat Dolls being accused of stealing Elise Neal's idea....yeah Nicci needs to go sit down. Burden of proof is tough.
