AND let me know if there are any other celebrities you want me to research for some old school tea!
Oh Laliah... I always encourage people to use African Ancestry, a Black owned company, for DNA analysis. They pioneered DNA ancestry analysis - an approach that came from the work done by AfAm geneticists in the 1990s working on the Slave Burial Ground in NYC. Not enough people know that I my opinion.
Dope info great research!
🍯 blood honey I will look into them too.
Bink dawg thank you!
Mrs Lailah, Many do not know that by doing this you sign away your "genetic identity" to the government. Once ppl do these DNA test the companies are free to do as they please to some extent with YOUR genetic code. Its better to check overseas with a company that's not of your own country that tests people anonymously.
The older generation never talked. They took all the secrets to the grave. We are always left shocked 😳
Omg yes, I'm 35 so wen I started learning more about the young Aretha Franklin nd her dad I was shocked😳
True FACTS 💯
So true.
@@N.Collins7 Im SHOOKETH about Aretha😞
TRUTH.
Remember when Janet Jackson had Cab Callaway in her video "Alright". She played Willona's daughter on Good Times. I wonder if Ja'net Dubois ever told Janet Jackson that he is her dad.
Janet Jackson is very good at keeping secrets. She probably did tell her. I can see her telling Janet something like that.
A wonderful secret I say.
Janet D may have been the connection between Mr. Calloway and Janet Jackson. This is so interesting!
I could see Janet Jackson keeping that secret too!!! She’s another woman that keeps her secrets to herself.
Power of Knowledge - hmmmm perhaps Janet knows something too and has been a very loyal friend - and that NDA don’t play either!!!!!
Ja'Net DuBois is probably saying beyond the grave, "Don't be putting 2 + 2 together about my life. Put 5 + 5 together and 10 to your own business".
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I like that!!
This made me holler LOUDLY
Lol
Well said👍👍👍
... in her WILLONA voice. 🤣
Who can shave 13 years off their age And still look younger than the age they're lying about...a melanin queen
Facts cause nobody questioned it lol
Queen ? What does that mean ?
@@sharjjahnaziz4122 there are black people that like to claim that when they were in africa, before slavery, they were kings and queens, so they are big on calling themslves queens.
Sister Queens All Day everyday 💖
She is no Calloway
Lailah, I must tell you how proud I am of your investigative skills. I work as a freelance journalist and your thorough research using Brazilian immigration archives, genealogical websites and noticing small details that validate a connection display your brilliant due diligence. I salute you for an excellent job!
Yes I agree well done. Many never think to check those small details!
People back then didn’t tell their business.. Cab acknowledged her clearly so she never felt like he didn’t love her so there was no need on her part to feel validated...We are in the Tell EVERYTHANG age now 😩
Exactly
He was one class act of a man. I’ve read many articles about him and interviews he did later in life. Yes, one class act
Folks need to take notes.

She just kept her business to herself. Good for her. Others should follow that. Less drama, and headaches. Loved her. She was dope!
Agreed! Very admirable!!
true. some celebrities today couldn't hold water if they tried.
Aye yall know another person who is private and never seen in public is Sade.......I like people like them .....all you need to hear about her is when she but to drop an New album...you dont need to hear about her personal life.....Big ups to all the Celebrities who stay out the lime light......Like the Queen Sade.....✌🤎🙏
She kept it a secret cause he was married... but having an affair with her mother ! End of story!💯
Wow!
That makes sense. Either that or her mother was married during the time
Yup
Secrets? It's Called NOYB!!! Nun Of Your Business!!! We Just Too Nosey!!!
Period 💯🤷🏽♀️
People wondered how Janet Jackson had a whole secret relationship, marriage, and divorce...she learned from a master.
And child !!!!
I was gonna say and child. 💥
Now that was some funny shyt 😂🤣😂🤣😋
Maybe it's "just because I'm a public figure, y'all don't need to know my bizness"
People r still questioning whether she had a child w/ James DeBarge.
Shaved 13 years off her age. That melanin tells lies don’t it 💕
😂😂😂😂😂 Okkkkkk! Nobody even noticed!!!
Right
...13 🤣🤣🤣🤣
13 magic number!!!
Right
Wow. I strive to keep people out of my business like Ms JaNet Dubois did.
yesss! she is privacy goals!!!
🎯💯
LOL
@@LailahLynnTV YESSSSS, Lailah! Privacy Goals, indeed!
Liquid Bijoux why??? Just curious. I appreciate the knowledge, wisdom, experiences, POWER, etc …
Maybe she didn't want people to know who her dad was because she wanted to make it in show business on her own merit and not because she was the daughter of Cab Calloway. Lots of kids of famous people do that. Regardless of why, they both will always be legends in the black community. May they RIP
Lea Monteiro - that or that NDA was serious!!!!
The man was clearly married when she was born.
Lea Monteiro Exactly trying to avoid the daughter of labeling.
Lea Monteiro yes true, the same as Anderson Cooper! Found out he’s GLORIA VANDERBILT SON!! He spoke of not wanting to be known just because of his famous Mother. He wanted his own identity
And she probably loved and respected her stepdad and her mother's right to privacy.
They were called the silent generation. We tell too much. How about a happy medium?
Definetly tell too much!! Shoot!! They tell it all
Maybe but all the secrets spilling out after many of the elders died in my family is RIDICULOUS! Sad part is without knowing this info we the children are doomed to repeat these secrets.. I’m glad we speak about it now, time to break generations of curses!
@Gi Gi Trust me not all of them are silent. A lot of them like to run their mouths!!
This is why people need to keep their business private. The world doesn't need to know .
Willona 😘😭😭😭😭🙏🙏
But it wasn't like knowing how many men she pulled a train with in 1954. She and her father were public figures and he was a Black legend, for goodness sake...
Agree totally .
It’s not just individuals protecting personal or family secrets. Society as a whole (both private individuals and public entities, such as the media) was more cooperative and less “nosy.” There was a standard of decency and respect. People often maintained discreet silence or feigned ignorance of things they weren’t supposed to know.
@@amasion2882 Discretion. Well theres a word you dont hear much about these days.
Girl you gave us black history and family history all in one!!! Great job with your research.
RadiantRuby I agree!
Her smile says a lot... If you compare it to his.. this is how old school was..if he was married she would have respected her mother's image by never telling anyone
Right. Period, end of story.
Exactly!!
You are so right. They have the same smile. I'm sure some people knew but it wasn't discussed. As long as she knew who her father was is what was important. It looked like they had a connection which is great.
@@LailahLynnTV why even report
I love Cab Calloway! I had the opportunity to meet him at his last performance before he passed. He was an elegant, gracious black man , one of my dad's favorite musicians.
If she was born in ‘32, that makes her even more beautiful! ♥️👸🏾
I respect that people was private back then. Also your grandparents always trained children not to speak on family issues.Nowadays everything is social media driven for attention of course.
Yep. Born in the 50's brought up on those Golden rules. Yoy just don't tell everything!
Listen when I got old enough to sit in on the family issues I was like "mommy did what? Unc said what. Who's on drugs" just crazy.

@@Mf.bAsę lol
That's the problem. Old people like keeping secrets instead of letting it out and talking about their problems in therapy. That's why a lot of them are suffering with being crack heads and pill poppers and alcoholics. Go get therapy.
She just didn’t let it be known because she didn’t want people to know her age ...
Crash Bandicoot that’s pretty much it
Unless he was married when she was conceived
Cynthia Stevens even still mama wanted to keep that age on lock 😂😂👏🏾
@@Therealcrashbandicoot successful at that!
@@cynthiastevens8302 Based upon the evidence, that's obviously what it was. A lot of that was going on back then and still is to this day.

Lol right?
Old school tea is juicier than modern day tea. 🫖🔥😅
Cab was a superstar in his day. Of course that man had affairs. He was in the entertainment industry. I have no doubt that is her father. They literally have the same smile.
Just because Cab Calloway was married doesn't mean that he could not have fathered a child by another woman.
That's true. 💯👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💯
They look just alike, same wide smile and everything.

I know, right? 😆❤
HOTTIE knew what she's talking about ;).....
It's crazy how folks pretend and keep important information away from their children. Genetics/ancestry is important. My daughter checked hers and it got us to talking about what kind of illnesses we all have. It's paramount to stop ancestral curses and communicate with our family. Someone may have info to uncover issues that others in the family may not even have thought of. Once again Layla, you've done excellent work!
Secrecy is one thing but what if one of her kids dated one of his grandkids because his estate said they knew nothing about Jeannette.
I'm sure she's Cab's daughter judging from 60's movie A Man named John with Sammy Davis Jr., she got good jobs thru Sammy and her Dad.
Plus she was talented and super gorgeous. Im surprised she didn't get her own show like Get Christie Love or early 70s motion pics like Pamela Grier maybe an age factor?
Thanks for posting.
Daughter: Y E S
She was very talented and beautiful. Both her and her father had a smile that could mesmerize.
This woman didn't want anybody to know her business,I can totally respect her for that!! R.I.P. Our Queen Lady Ms.Janet Du'Bois

You are so right I’m in my 50’s and I still don’t tell my Mom’s business. That how it is with my generation...If you want to know my Mom’s business you better ask her Period!! That’s how I grew up.
My grandfather was married when my mom was conceived in the 40's, so my uncle said he was the father; we didn't find this out until 1994 when my grandmother was on her deathbed; so my uncle, grandfather, aunt, and grandmother kept this is secret for 50 years
And if you remember, on MANY EPISODES Florida always joked with her about her Age?!!!
She sure did.
Good catch!
Yes..😂😆😂
And sadly, Esther Rolle 'DID NOT' want Jeanette Dubois to be cast as Wenonah & was not happy she got the role as she had sm1 else in mind I do believe; there was tension there but who knew??
Roz Evans Esther ALSO reportedly had an issue with Jimmy walker ! And he was becoming the “star” of the show! And it was “her show”! Same happened with The 1dt Aunt Viv and Will Smith
Yes this generation definitely took everything to the grave..I didn’t know my great-grandmother was married THREE times until I was at her funeral,reading her obituary lol 💁🏾♂️💀😂 long live Ms. DuBois
Jakobie Howard OMG YES! We found out 3 years ago that my grandmother was married to this very rich dr before she married my grandfather. We found old pictures while we were cleaning out her house. 🤦🏽♀️
I know Exactly. Even my family, they dont talk about their lives.
@@bellejmarie
Lol they do keep secrets don’t they. Found out my grandmother was married to a older man he died of something. Grandma had started to open up and talk. But.......
It was too late to get her to talk so I’ll never know. Since she had dementia and I could never seem to get her to broach this subject again.
Gurllllll 😁😆😅
Lailah, Thank you for doing this story on such a beautiful actress, personality, dancer, writer and singer. Like father, like daughter. What a beautiful photo of them together. This is one of the main reasons why I miss reading Jet Magazines, because it always kept us informed about our wonderful entertainers, news in our community, and pertinent information.
my cousin, aunt & sister and myself did an ancestry dna just for fun. found out im not at all related to my sister😟 lots of family secrets came out. things have not been the same. preceded with caution with those test
eeaaly Mae Wow. Sorry it changed your life that way. Blood doesn’t determine family. Hopefully you all can come together again, and be stronger for it.
Sorry to hear that sis! I'm sure that struck up a lot of hurt , pain & wanting answers 💯 Although you've learned that's not your sister biologically Hopefully it has brought you two even closer cause one thing for certain two for sure sharing the same blood doesn't dictate nor validate how strong your Love is 💯 blood couldn't make you & your sister any closer (remember that 😉❤) Blessings to you & your family!
+eeaaly Mae
Exactly!
You sometimes find out things you don't really want to know!
However, if that other daughter of Cab Calloway is still alive & willing to be tested,...Jeannette's daughter & that other daughter can be tested by ancestry. If they match as "aunt" & "niece" ...there's the PROOF that she was Cab Calloway's child!
eeaaly Mae I just found out some family secrets too from that test. Thankfully they’re not about me or my parents but still some very jarring secrets came out.
Jessica Franklin of course she can take that info and get a real test done ✅
Everyone who reported her death kept saying she was 74yrs old. Her death certificate says she was 87, and I guess it wasn't hard to believe because she did look like she could've been 74.
Gorgeous 😍❤️
Omg! 87 is a blessing.

Now that’s how you keep a secret! Something this generation knows nothing about!
This lady life was a whole mystery
A H no mystery. Just because the public didn’t know doesn’t mean she lied. People close to her knew because they deserved to know. People like you don’t deserve anything from her.
@@88alexis firstly her business ain't none of yours 2. She have to right to keep her business a secret
Just a different era. Being a bastard and sidebaby was judged harshly back in the day so single mothers tried to find a husband quickly to adopt their children & appear like a typical family.
That’s pretty cool and I’m not surprised. Children of entertainers typically go on to become entertainers themselves.
What? I saw that title and 🏃🏾♀️to click. Great video. I really enjoyed this. You are showing more of yourself. Yes it's celebrity gossip, but you put your own stamp on it. You have given us a varied perspective, on who you are as a person. You have shared your areas of interest and study to give us more interesting stories, that are thoroughly researched and thought out. Keep it up!
Msboochie2 Thank you!!! This was actually really fun to research when the pieces started coming together, especially the picture of them together. Let me know if there are any other old school celebrities that you want tea on! 🍵
Msboochie2 - Excellent compliment Ms.boochie2!!! I wish I wudda said it first. Lailah has a way of branding herself and in videos like this or “old school tea” such as this she really shines! I’ve been peeping her for about 3 years now and I simply find her energy and aura so authentic and unique! Blessings to these UA-camrs who bring such pride and joy into our lives. Major network channels??? What’s that?
Lailah Lynn - wow! Simply wow. Unique vintage tea I was sippin on!!! Wow. God bless your energy and discernment Ms. Lailah!!!! I’m inspired!

First of all, let me compliment you on your impeccable research acumen! I am a PhD in English and I will use your video as an example of how one begins with a question and then demonstrates the process of finding receipts! Black Excellence!

@@LailahLynnTV I feel & think that way as well. I'd love to have some spech etiquette classes/lessons/briefings from You, I'd pay for them (PayPal, cash app, patreon)
I know that my grandmother was extremely secretive about her past. You have to remember that many unpleasant things happened to people of color back in the day, but I believe in this situation, he may not wanted to make it public, but he did want to see her shine. Thank you so much for your research. They are both loved entertainers. May they both rest easy.
My great gran never told my grand mother who her actuall father was. she lived to be 85, and never told her.
I love how you be digging and getting these receipts together.
Cab Calloway had a daughter, Chris, in the NYC Jack and Jill social club. She was a vocal jazz performer, and died recently in Santa Fe, NM. She was my age (4/1941). I once spent an evening partying with that group. Cab Calloway was the best!
Wow, Jack and Jill is elite
If the family really wanted to know, they could have Ja'Nets daughter and Cab's daughter tested to see if there is matching DNA. I doubt it if they care though
Great idea it’s worth knowing the truth. She does look exactly like him.
Yes. Cab’s estate said they would accept it if they can prove it.
@@MrsK976 Easy to prove via DNA, trust and believe.
@@tinagamble7755 yes. And she is his daughter.
That's his daughter. No DNA test needed.
Gurl! Can you investigate to see if my man is cheating??? This is some heavy investigating! Good work.
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s also interesting that she was listed as “never married” on her death certificate.
Yes!! I saw her marriage record on ancestry.com, so that was interesting. I would like to know why her daughter would say she was never married to her father. Seems like a story behind it.
Probably cause they were shacking up and her daughter or JaNet never acknowledged Common law marriage
She's been married before.
Lailah, That part I noticed as odd. Since the words above weren't clear (legible) to me, I thought the section and answer were related to her mother's status at the time Ja'net was born.
@@LailahLynnTV lailah Lynn you are the best. Love you channel and everything you bring to it thanks for this information ❤❤
YOU ARE IN THE WRONG BUSSINESS! YOU SHOUD BE A NATIONAL INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER!! GREAT WORK!!! MUCH LOVE*
She & Cab share the same smile and lower half of the face for sure!
I've loved some of his music since I was young. 💜
Same upper eye lid shape is clear in her younger photos too.
She threw a house party in Sacramento California, sometime in the late 70's. My Father, who was born in 1931, somehow got an invite. It was a small gathering and he really appreciated the kindness she showed toward her guest.
She certainly has his smile.
What a secret to take to your grave. That chile had her own.
Rest In Peace and Power Ms DuBois.
Baby this Tea is sooo piping hit
Hott oops
There is a very strong resemblance between the two and they both work together in Cuba during 1959. So, I believe it’s very possible that they’re related.
Chyle you did the thang with this research!!! Our grand and great grandparents that age definitely did not tell their business and took their secrets to the grave. It's a blessing and a curse because it always comes out in a bad way with the younger generations. Awesome job researching!
Secretive, to me, depicts sneakiness. She seemed more private and respected. Old school tea... more like Black History that is well worth knowing. Ja’Net Dubois was loved and admired. I thank you for all of your research and giving us this wonderful video!❤️🙏🏽
This was very interesting, “Old school tea!” Its nice to know he looked after her and got her a job as a dancer for his shows.
KDD Lol
Coincidentally, his first wife name was Wenonah...1928-1948. Her Goodtimes character was named Winona!!🤔🤔🤔Wilona
I saw that too!
Wilona👍
That doesn't mean much. It's already been established that she knew and met him as she was his dancer. From the Ebony article and her being in Good Times along with dancing with Cab sounds like Ja'net just wanted to be in showbiz period.
I feel it was a reason that she didn't say anything, nor did her mom or her dad. It was obviously a thing that was so secretive that it went to the grave with her and that's where I think we should leave it, may she rest in peace🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Vebae Stevenson agreed
Amen!
This was so common back in those days unfortunately.
I agree 💯 percent
That's the thing we're too busy playing FBI nosing around somebody else's life. As my Grandma would say sweep your own porch!
ONE THING ABOUT IT.... JA"NET DUBOIS CALLOWAY AND CAB CALLOWAY. KNEW AND UNDERSTOOD THEIR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER..... THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS..... CAB CALLOWAY WAS A VERY TALENTED CLASSY MAN; WHOSE SPIRIT SWELLED WITH LOVE AND WARMTH TO HIS AUDIENCES...... HAD THE PLEASURE OF SEEING HIS PERFORMANCE MUCH LATER IN HIS LIFE.... IN THE LATE 70S.....HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT IN SPITE OF HIS AGE.
MAY JA'NET AND CAB REST IN ETERNAL PEACE ... WE ARE ALL VERY BLESSED TO WITNESSED THEIR GOD GIVEN TALENT WHICH THEY SHARED WITH THE WORLD!
Play
Additional fun observation: penny (Janet jackson) plays Ms Dubois daughter on Good Times; Cab later stars in Janet Jackson’s Alright music video hmmm coincidence?
I don’t see the correlation. All because they both acted with Janet Jackson doesn’t automatically confirm that they’re father and daughter. The only way we’ll know is from a DNA test
THIS is reporting! 🎯 I just need a whole segment of "Old School Tea" 🖤
Lena Harvey yessss I love it!!😊
Girl, I do not know how you pulled this together so quickly. Great work.
Damn she was really 88 years old, she looked fantastic for her age but these old people from back them are very secretive they took their dirty secrets and their great recipes for cooking to the grave with them the only person who is talking and tell all of their business is Quincy Jones

You got that tea so heavy, Miss ma’am, imma have to nickname you Lipton. I heard the rumor of her parentage when I was young, but you got the papers. I really enjoyed your investigative work.

4real .... Even if she did or didn't.... She lived ..lied loved ..and laid low ...now let it AND her rest 🙄🤔..ughhh
@@joisafsaf7222 Well I may be wrong but it seems that her daughter revealed the death certificate to the media. Because in most states only family and the funeral homse can obtain death certificates. You can obtain marriage info .and obituaries as well as driver's license info but not death certificates. Family members have to provide them to the life insurance companies. Even private investigators cannot get them unless they pay someone "under the table".
At least she knew who he was. I don’t have that luxury. So if that’s something she took to the grave. Then it should rest respectfully with her.
Great research !!! I never would have known this without your research. Ms. Lynn, I'm a big fan of the history of past Jazz/music artist and you have blessed me with awesome information. Keep up the great work. Thanks.
I don't think I ever knew this. It's fascinating, but back when I was a kid in the 80s, we didn't pry into the lives of entertainers.
We saw them on TV and when they performed, but that's it. We didn't have 24/7 access like today, and I'm more than happy to go back to that.
Cab Calloway has a daughter residing in Harlem that's over 90. I wonder if she'll confirm. Either way what a talented life they lived
How to start your own business
Sonya Bell no she didn’t. I literally looked up and down on the internet and didn’t find that anywhere. Like why lie?
I wonder if his daughters both look anything alike?
@@mylesburris3885 he was born in 1907, which would make him 114 years old today. So if he has an existing daughter who is still alive and is let's say exactly 90 years old, then that would mean that she was born in 1931, making him around 24 years old around the time that she was born. Sounds about right.
@@hollygolightly9878 🤣
I think she told close friends! Janet Jackson had them both in one of her videos both Jeanette Dubois and her father cab Calloway that’s not a coincidence
GOLDBABY522 YES! I remember that!
Which video was it the it's all right video ?
That's right...hhhmmmm
So because they both worked with Janet at some point in time that automatically means that they’re father and daughter? Do y’all not realize how y’all sound? Y’all will say anything on here. at the end of the day, we’re not gonna know until there’s a DNA test between Janet Dubois and Cab Calloway’s kids which I doubt would ever happen or atlease won’t be made public since all of this wasn’t suppose to get out anyways
Lela Storm the music video with Cab Calloway also had the Nicholas brothers in it and supposedly other legendary people. And that was a separate music video from the one Ja’Net Dubois was in. It sucks that we will never really know the truth, but then again it’s none of our business anyways
She probably kept it a secret for two reason 1. Her Mom had her out of wedlock and 2. Cab Calloway was a married man when her mother got pregnant with her. It appears his children didn’t know he had an outside child more of a reason for Janet to keep it a secret. A double whammy during the era she grew up in. Why suffer the humiliation of going public chancing that his family will reject and deny you.
Renee Hicks this is good research but the only way to really know is DNA.
His estate, says there no proof and online sources says her father was Gordon Dubois. DNA is the only way.
Planet Black all they have to do is so mitochondrial DNA testing between the living daughter and one of Ja'Net's children. Cab's estate is on some bullshit
I like this old school tea and liked your approach, it wasn't messy and you didn't just speculate like saying they have the same smile or something goofy like that...well done!
Still Love to hear her sing the" Jeffersons" theme song...😊
She wrote that song too! 💜💜
@@TeeTee_709 And, no one can sing it like her either..😊 I had no idea that she wrote the song too..😌
I'm about to rewatch Janet Jackson's "Alright" video and then some reruns of good times and enjoy my night😀
I’m a history buff Laila, so I LOVE this type of stuff! Lol Feel free to drop old school tea anytime! Lol
Girl, you worked hard for this story and I am super impressed! Thank you for all of the information in such a short time!
Research indicates that she was married in 1950 to a man named "Sajit Gupta" in Manhattan. Her husband is listed as Hindu. Using calculations, Cab would have only been 25 when Ja'net was born, because he is listed as being born in 1907, and she is listed as being born in 1932. Remarkably, Cab would have only been in his mid 20's during the height of his career in the 1930's with his famous Cotton Club routines! According to Wikipedia, Cab was earning $50,000 a year when he was only 23 years old (in 1930). If Ja'net was his daughter, she was well taken care of!
Calloway’s first wife name was Wenonah "Betty" Conacher. Remember in Good Times Alderman Davis would always call Willona “Wenonah?
I knew something didn't add up, when I saw her age in the obituary. If true, she would have been about 30 when Good Times started. I knew she was younger than Esther Rolle, but not that much! She was still beautiful though, and hey, she was able to keep her secrets. Good for her!
True
That’s probably why they was joking about her age on the show. You never really knew her true age on the show either
@@jaythethinker3994 true, but she and Florida were supposed to have been in the same high school graduating class. Looking at the two of them, it kind of never made sense.
Esther Rolle was 19 or 20 yrs older than John Amos!!
@@momoftwins8440 I know right? Strange casting, but somehow it all came together and became an iconic show!
Maury the baby is HIS! She looks JUST like him! Nose area and all!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
And same teeth!
@Khadiijah Love I said the same thing!
@@chellebelle2229 yes! 💯
Cab Calloway, You are the father. 😂😂😂😂
Lailah, this piece was very refreshing. Most women of that generation were mysterious ... That's why most were married. 💡
Lol!
I mentioned this on Willie D’s UA-cam channel right after he posted her death certificate and none of those duh-duh heads picked up on it, I’m glad you did the research on this, awesome vid!
A great story told , I love it, I had no idea that was even a story . Well you learn something new every day , great job…😄😄😄😄😄🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome content Lailah!! I love the nostalgia tea/ history/story!! 💕❤
Thank you! I think I’m gonna do more of it.
That's great information, you never know who is related to someone..
Thank for sharing this black history moment 💪🏾 you did that!
and yes I do believe Mr. Cab Calloway was her dad
She probably didn't want people in her business. She was beautiful and talented.
Geez! You dug so deep for this. You deserve a million subscribers!🙌🏾
Sissy!!! I’m so proud of this story!! You really gave us the ☕️!!
Thank you!!! This was fun to research so I think I’m gonna do more of these.
Lailah Lynn you definitely should. This is a history lesson and tea all in one.
Good tea 💖 A distraction from this crazy world
Wow.....You've done your research! Side pieces have been around forever, and no that still doesn't make it right. Rest In Power!
At timestamp 9:09 in the picture, I saw a daughter looking lovingly at her father. The expression on her face didn't look like amusement to me. Taking in all the information you provided, I believe that she's the product of an affair between Cab and her mother. If he was like most men, especially musicians, he got around and he liked young women. With him being a legend, I can totally see how she would keep that secret in order to protect his legacy. That generation of people didn't run to tell everything they knew about themselves or somebody else. It was a different era. As long as he accepted her as his daughter and she knew his love, that's all that mattered. You did some good investigating, Lailah! Bravo, lady!
Wow!!! I knew I lil about Cab Callaway but I am completely full now!!! Thanks for the info , I’m going to see if my mom heard any of this!!!
