Most people are ignoring and not listening to God most of the time. Especially when it comes to money. Mark 8:36. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? - King James Version (1611). Heaven and hell is for everybody who wants to go there.
Babyface robbed La Reid and he robbed all LaFace artists, becuz they were ignorant!....and grossly naive.....that's why we last.....in everything, cuz we'll snake each other and let the enemy drag us....
The problem i have with the majority of the comments is that they don't even realize Ernest was a whole major star before there was even A Martin Lawrence
No he wasn't. If he was a MAJOR STAR why is he unknown? Why is he griping over an other man's success "martin promised me". This guy may be telling half truths but the other half is on him. BLAME YOURSELF for dulling your shine.
That's so true, it really brings them to the forefront, most ppl that's on these shows n on 📺, are not who they are when the cameras aren't on them, smh but ppl are who they are, but don't be phoney.
Martin had Ernest on his show playing Prince Uche. 😂 At the time, I thought that was cool that he brought him on. Martin was young during What’s Happening Now. Maybe he’s become more humble later in life.
This is the reason I’m genuinely not interested in meeting any celebrities because once you meet them you’ll find out you don’t like they’re character. I’m cool with just liking your art.
They have an image to portrait. That's what held Whitney Houston hostage causing her to be depressed which fueled her addiction. She was not " Free to Be Me" (herself).
Everyone has their own time frame to learn how to be, become and remain humble. If you display arrogance along your way and with encounters with other people, they will talk about you also along the way when a reminder of you arises or if they simply choose to. GOD is the righteous judge and keeper of true time. Just don't run out of time and if you do, well GOD nays, says yays. Omniscient.
Pam (Tichina Arnold) said the same thing in an interview she did. So it must be true. She said once Martin started becoming an Executive Producer and Producer of the show, he changed.
Martin has already said that he got the bighead before but didn't stay there, most stars always go through that in the beginning of a lil success, even Queen Latifah talked about when she went through that phase and her mom set her straight but some get stuck there
Jamie Foxx was like that while working on In Living Color and that's one of the reasons why LL Cool J knocked his ass out during filming a scene on Any Given Sunday. 🔥 🔥
Tina Knowles slapped the shit out of Beyoncé in a record store and humbled her daughter real quick when she ignored her bc some guys was gassing her head up when her single played on the radio. Beyoncé said that was the only time in her life she got hit by her mother and she was grateful for that slap back to reality. We are all humans if you’ve been teased bullied or told you can’t do something and you do it better than your bullies and gain recognition from it of course your going to get a little big headed and life humbles you if you take it overboard.
I'm glad Ernest Lee Thomas is alive and well.. The fame change Martin attitude and his personality. Lots of success and lots of money can change a person with the quickness. Money can change a person. Several digits will change a person life. I'm glad Ernest is still in the game. What's Happenin is one of the classic black show from back in the day. I remember Ernest was on Everybody hates Chris. Bill Cosby is now outta of prison. America never lets us forget who we are to them but America forgets what it did to black people. Slavery was not our best moments along with the lyching of black men, the riots and massacres and murders of people of color.
I saw Darius McCrary say the same thing about the industry. Love this brother. At a certain point you need to realize that racing the people that are supposed to be on your team leaves you by yourself in the winners circle with no one cheering.
Old School truth is SO important. Many of us have grew up watching these good Black television shows, yet we never knew about the behind the scenes riffs and attitudes regarding celebrities from back in the day. Truth is, most of them aren't (and were never) no good. Thank you dearly, Ernest!
Now that's WHAT'S HAPPENING!? RESPECT to Ernest Thomas Not just a character on the show But Raj is truly ERNEST in real life. Humble...straight forward...unapologetic speaking his truth! I could go on.... Much love to him and 4 him! Now go SIT CHO A$$ DOWN!!!😂

Bla bla i grow up poor, i was drug dealer, pimp, i was robbing people, steal a lot and what ever you name it i did it to make money and i was a complete selfish arse, lie to everyone, used people throw them away like trash even when they thought we are "friends". Now i have money or wealth and im very friendly, i give money to poor people im nice to everyone, i never lie, i dont like criminals at all. What doesnt mean im not able to be like i was before without remorse or anything but now i can chill no need for beeing a criminal and all the bs that comes with it. So money changed my character 100% not because the money changed something in my brain but im inteligent enough to understand the trouble isnt worth it anymore. So saying the money brings out who you are is bs, if it would be like that i would be a rich criminal who just do more crazy things tham before. Money brings happyness no matter what people that dont have a lot of money say. Its not the ultimat goal but iy helps to archiev things faster. What you saying is probraly true on people that was good when they was poor but for criminals like i was its the way to get out of it and life the good life and stay calm

I really enjoyed watching What's Happening as a youth and adult, Mr. Ernest Thomas (Raj) was the ladies man then and he is still today can't forget his dancing skills. I also enjoyed watching him on Everybody Hates Chris as Mr. Omar, I find it to be tragic that they ended those sitcoms. I would love to see Mr. Thomas in another sitcom or series he is a great actor.(Just watched the Dobbie Brother's Episode last weekend} I found myself watching Fred Berry wife a couple of years ago here on YT very interesting.
Yup....all great episodes...love when Raj filled in for Rerun cuz they were making fun of him....Raj's dancing skills still have me in stitches to this day...
For yall that don't know.. Cable box wasn't in all households in the 70s and one of the SPOTLIGHTS was on "What's Happening" with MILLIONS of folk watching. Ernest was also on the Jeffersons and a movie with Bill Cosby n Sidney Poitier "A Piece of the Action"..🧡
That brother’s energy is genuine and I really appreciate that in itself. People always throw empty words around and when you call them on it they can’t be found. It’s a sad affair the state of selfishness that exists on all levels of life no matter what your status is. I’ve given up on people and when bad things happen to us it’s judgement, SO BE IT !

Martin is such a good actor! We don’t know know him as a person. Sometimes I think that people forget their promises and the gratitude for those laying the foundation for them, or any little help they get on the way. We all are indebted to each other. Be forgiving. I wish they would rerun all the old shows so we can share our heritage with our offspring!
His brother Robert is a genuine dude. My Step dad & him were n the military 2gether. When my parents got married he came down 2 lil ol Caswell County. People grow & Martin went through his issues. Responsible 4 people & u got people comin at u constantly. I don't even want the responsibility.
Wowwww so they do try n feminize (i made this word up) black dudes in the tv/movie world lol...they tried to get Chappelle to do it in Blue Streak...but he refused
Ernest. The way you moved and the way you started inspired me many many moons ago and I never forgot how you did it what you said and what age you were I really like you and I appreciate you for still being around and being a goat essentially ☮️☮️☮️☮️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌞🌻🌻🌟🌟🌻🌞🌞🌞🌞
Well, P. Daddy was nothing until Biggie was murdered. Funny he went to the party was always with Biggie but after the party he gets in a car two behind Biggie then Biggie was shot by Poochie funny two are left of Biggie and 2Pac P. Diddy and SN. Hhmmm
@@purpleflowers149 I believe he does. But we all reap what we sow. P was a nobody until Biggie was murdered. You go to a party with your best friend but leave in another vehicle two cars behind Biggie? Well, why did he not get back in with Biggie? P was two vehicles behind? I am glad I have not friends to run with. I can’t be used. Funny P cops can’t touch him. Well, he got famous got that album but he does not sing now.
Orlando killed 2Pac. These two murders of Biggie and 2Pac were for NOTHING. If you want to see the breakdown please UA-cam GREG KADING ALL ABOUT WHO WAS WITH WHO WHAT ALL CAME DOWN. HE IS A GREAT DETECTIVE AND WANTED THE TRUTH TO COME OUT TO GIVE THE FAMILY CLOSURE.
Well, we all reap what we sow balloonmanalvinpitts. So will those two left. P Diddy is nothing now. It is pathetic these two murders that bother me today.
No joke.. RIGHT as the brownies kicked in did I notice that the reflection off his glasses makes him look he's starring in Jim Henson's What's Happening!
To sum it all up Martin didn't drop everything to go to work for Ernest! Ernest thought that Martin was supposed to just stop what he was doing at the time and put in the time to make Ernest a big name movie producer off of Martin's name and time! He thinks that just because he approved of Martin being on the show that he worked on, that Martin owes him.When people say that they will help you doesn't mean that they have to give up their work and family structure to do it. Ernest thinks that if you have had a friend that gets rich they should do whatever to make you rich too! Martin made his way and Ernest you need to make your way without thinking that it is okay to use people. He said that he couldn't do what you needed him to do and you wanted to call and pressure him so he had someone else to tell you no! Why would he answer calls just to have to say this over and over?Martin doesn't work on your plantation! Shame on you for the comparisons just because you are jealous!
Born in 77 and I grew up on What's Happening and What's Happening Now 🥰 I've watched every episode and I still watch ✔️🎯💕 One of my absolute favorite shows and love Ernest 🥰
I'd to hear what Martin has to say about this. I don't know either personally, but when I was a kid I was a big fan of both. Because of stories like this however, I'm only a fan of myself. Respect to both gentlemen. I'd love to score a movie for either artist.
Speak that truth brother! Crabs in a bucket syndrome! I have a Mexican GC breaking the game down to me and I tried to give the business to support black entrepreneurs…and they were greedy, deceptive, not dependable, and we’re trying to take advantage of me…sad. We have to do better
Earnest is one of the few OGs left in the acting game. He pursued his own projects and that's what real Artists do. It kept him getting money so he didn't have to bow to the core-shattering rituals these minimal talent but desperate now-celebrities so willingly do. He's strong in his faith, good, bc they gon come for him. I hope he encourages more artist to speak out, and maybe he's right, these younger artists and older actors like him could collaborate. F*ck the illuminati-hollywood cult ......Bring the real Artists forward!
Yeah. I remember a lady coworker of mine getting dissed hard by Tommy Ford when she excitedly walked up to him outside his trailer where he was filming a scene for New York Undercover back in late 90s. I cautioned her not to bother him, but she didn't listen. So, I stood back and watched as she approached him to ask for an autograph. He stared at her blankly for second, then said, ''I can't spell.'', then walked into his trailer and closed the door. I was like, ''You see? Don't ever sweat celebrities.''
I believe Ernest when he said Martin changed. I know people that knew Martin and they said he changed too ever since he blew up. I still love Martin anyway. He s a good actor
Pierre, Tommy Davidson, Bill Bellamy, Tisha Campbell, Carl Payne all had something similar to this story. Martin probably let his insecurities get the best of him. He actually revealed it on one of his episodes. He is a true comedian… He knew how to make fun of his real flaws.
I just have a question and I hope that I am phrasing this correctly. When you feel as if you “owe” someone, at what point is your debt paid? I just got the feeling from this clip that Ernest felt like Martin could have done more. I also got the feeling that he would not have been satisfied with Martin just helping with a few things. I believe he wanted him to help with a majority of his projects. People don’t like to feel obligated all the time. And I’m sure there are celebrities that feel that they must satisfy their group or else they will get upset with them. So much pressure and this is why some celebrities go into depression. They feel as if they are pulled in all directions. I don’t believe that God saw fit just to bless Martin and not Ernest. What’s for you is for you and no man can stand in the way of that. Whatever projects that Ernest wanted to put out could have still saw the light of day. I could never bash anyone that didn’t help me. Notice I’m saying help not harm. That’s different and I don’t think Martin harmed him or showed ill-will towards him.
it's about opening a door for others that open for you. He helped support Martin for a role on the show. and wen got famous he act like he did it by himself. That type bs aint cool. He wasn't asking for money but putting in a good word to help him find a job too.
If you grew up to the show what's happening ,let's give Ernest 1 million like's.....

@YaramaYahu Yashar'Al this is deep and very interesting. Just now getting into spirituality and trying to find my way. Please expound a little more. Same for you B Ingram. I’ve felt things weren’t right for a while now and trying to figure things out.
What did we call our creator? I’ve felt for a while now that the Bible is and was used as a control mechanism by Caucasian’s.
@YaramaYahu Yashar'Al Your deceived...But God bless you.
Raj is giving up DA BIZNESS....OOOOWEEEE!!! 😮
Yessssss. Ain't he though! I love it. Preach that truth brother.
I really enjoyed watching What's Happening as a youth and adult, Mr. Ernest Thomas (Raj) was the ladies man then and he is still today can't forget his dancing skills. I also enjoyed watching him on Everybody Hates Chris as Mr. Omar, I find it to be tragic that they ended those sitcoms. I would love to see Mr. Thomas in another sitcom or series he is a great actor.(Just watched the Dobbie Brother's Episode last weekend}
I found myself watching Fred Berry wife a couple of years ago here on YT very interesting.
Lol, I remember that one. Rerun got caught trying to record the concert. That big ass tape recorder fell out while he was dancing.
Raj and the buttafly sitting in a tree K I S S I N G. 😂
I still love that damn show
Yup....all great episodes...love when Raj filled in for Rerun cuz they were making fun of him....Raj's dancing skills still have me in stitches to this day...
Rog' not Raj.
For yall that don't know.. Cable box wasn't in all households in the 70s and one of the SPOTLIGHTS was on "What's Happening" with MILLIONS of folk watching. Ernest was also on the Jeffersons and a movie with Bill Cosby n Sidney Poitier "A Piece of the Action"..🧡
That brother’s energy is genuine and I really appreciate that in itself. People always throw empty words around and when you call them on it they can’t be found. It’s a sad affair the state of selfishness that exists on all levels of life no matter what your status is. I’ve given up on people and when bad things happen to us it’s judgement, SO BE IT !
Kid from Kid & Play low key said the same thing about Martin on The Breakfast Club
Tommy Davidson said the same thing too in the interview I saw
Sad that and Martin Play from Kid and Play are real life cousins.
@@loveme8141 how are all three of them cousins?
@@beb5407 no just Martin and Play

About time we got a real OG out here telling the truth about these frauds...
Orlando Jones talked about how he was treated by the producers of American Godz. He also talked about his experiences as an actor and writer for the past 30 years. Watch his interview too. He drops truth bombs.
@@cazprescott9 Cool I'll do that...
Thanx for that bit of info...
Their truths, it doesn’t mean it true, it’s opinion and perspective.
@@lordcjasonthewanderingmack654 Sort of like what you just gave, lol rrright...
So, I guess he's not talking from a personal place you've never been before either, right lolololmfao...
@@sojusliimtdflock what are you talking about dweeb?
Thank you fellas for getting a real dude on the show!
Love Raj
Martin is such a good actor! We don’t know know him as a person. Sometimes I think that people forget their promises and the gratitude for those laying the foundation for them, or any little help they get on the way. We all are indebted to each other. Be forgiving. I wish they would rerun all the old shows so we can share our heritage with our offspring!
You never forget what’s important to you 🤷🏽♀️
His brother Robert is a genuine dude. My Step dad & him were n the military 2gether. When my parents got married he came down 2 lil ol Caswell County. People grow & Martin went through his issues. Responsible 4 people & u got people comin at u constantly. I don't even want the responsibility.
I can listen to this man talk all day. Give him his own show.
Radio or something!
True shit...
They can't, when correct that's when they assassinate you
Great idea! His own show. He is far greater than most talk show. For real K. Clarkson?
That iconic laugh...WHA HAAH!!!
shout out to Raj Thomas
Btw Raj never had to wear a dress to get big.
I hate to be a party pooper. But he wore a dress.😢 Look it up.
But truly iconic.I’m a fan from waaaaayyy back.
I thought he wore a dress in a episode of what's happening
@@kimjohnson1629 That's what she's talking about 😂😂😂😂
Wowwww so they do try n feminize (i made this word up) black dudes in the tv/movie world lol...they tried to get Chappelle to do it in Blue Streak...but he refused
@@damarcomusik639 Truth comments👏👏👏👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Ernest. The way you moved and the way you started inspired me many many moons ago and I never forgot how you did it what you said and what age you were I really like you and I appreciate you for still being around and being a goat essentially ☮️☮️☮️☮️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌞🌻🌻🌟🌟🌻🌞🌞🌞🌞
Yo them 2 lights reflectin off his glasses got him lookin like the roger rabbit dude lol..Hilarious..Now imma finish watchin the interview lol
I love Martin but I believe everything this man says. He’s right! 💯
we do that to each other..we get material things/money n treat each other differently when we're up..shii is sad
It’s sickening
I don’t like that shit niggas switch up daily
Yes, very sad 💯
Facts!!!
Now this Comment right here is soooooooooo true, its a shame 😔
He's speaking the truth. I've dealt with P-Diddy myself. He miss treats 😢 his own.
Wait a minute what do you mean he mistreat his own🤔
Well, P. Daddy was nothing until Biggie was murdered. Funny he went to the party was always with Biggie but after the party he gets in a car two behind Biggie then Biggie was shot by Poochie funny two are left of Biggie and 2Pac P. Diddy and SN. Hhmmm
@@purpleflowers149 I believe he does. But we all reap what we sow. P was a nobody until Biggie was murdered. You go to a party with your best friend but leave in another vehicle two cars behind Biggie? Well, why did he not get back in with Biggie? P was two vehicles behind? I am glad I have not friends to run with. I can’t be used. Funny P cops can’t touch him. Well, he got famous got that album but he does not sing now.
Orlando killed 2Pac. These two murders of Biggie and 2Pac were for NOTHING. If you want to see the breakdown please UA-cam GREG KADING ALL ABOUT WHO WAS WITH WHO WHAT ALL CAME DOWN. HE IS A GREAT DETECTIVE AND WANTED THE TRUTH TO COME OUT TO GIVE THE FAMILY CLOSURE.
Well, we all reap what we sow balloonmanalvinpitts. So will those two left. P Diddy is nothing now. It is pathetic these two murders that bother me today.
The way Anthony say "DAMN" make the conversation so deep
No joke.. RIGHT as the brownies kicked in did I notice that the reflection off his glasses makes him look he's starring in Jim Henson's What's Happening!
To sum it all up Martin didn't drop everything to go to work for Ernest! Ernest thought that Martin was supposed to just stop what he was doing at the time and put in the time to make Ernest a big name movie producer off of Martin's name and time! He thinks that just because he approved of Martin being on the show that he worked on, that Martin owes him.When people say that they will help you doesn't mean that they have to give up their work and family structure to do it. Ernest thinks that if you have had a friend that gets rich they should do whatever to make you rich too! Martin made his way and Ernest you need to make your way without thinking that it is okay to use people. He said that he couldn't do what you needed him to do and you wanted to call and pressure him so he had someone else to tell you no! Why would he answer calls just to have to say this over and over?Martin doesn't work on your plantation! Shame on you for the comparisons just because you are jealous!
You see on the 2 interviewers face they uncomfortable of Ernest telling the TRUTH about Martin. I wonder about the sincerity of these guys sometimes.
Yes they wit that bull shit big boy didn't say nothing and he always talking .. Thomas hit that Nerve 😂😂
FACTS... they're DEFINITELY future puppets... smh
Scared to agree- scared to react because they don’t want to mess up their chance to tap dance for/ with these celebrities !
Finally somebody said it
@@gwene.4726 Good call. I've noticed that too.
Born in 77 and I grew up on What's Happening and What's Happening Now 🥰 I've watched every episode and I still watch ✔️🎯💕 One of my absolute favorite shows and love Ernest 🥰
Nov. '77
I lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve Ernest too
It's really good to see "Raj" I'm just old enough to remember when Martin came on "What's Happening", what a shame Martin ☹️
I'd to hear what Martin has to say about this. I don't know either personally, but when I was a kid I was a big fan of both. Because of stories like this however, I'm only a fan of myself. Respect to both gentlemen. I'd love to score a movie for either artist.
He said Martin had the "Funky Attitude" oh my 🤣🤣🤣
This is facts, they think they 💩 don’t stink. They actually look down on you.
Martin had a chip on his shoulders and that's how Hollywood folks act when they do
Those glasses f****** me up look like two giant white eyeballs😂😂😂
Cartoon eyes! 😂😂😂
💀💀👀💀yo!!!
I love his glasses
I was looking for a comment like this. It took awhile
Yasssss!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Remember meeting him at a Comic Convention and he was a very kind brother.
That's Roger from what's happening now😂🤣💯😂🤣💯
You can tell he is telling the truth about his experience with Martin ! It’s a sad reality about some people ( not just celebrities either)!
The down to earth people always have to struggle!
I know?
Ikr it sucks
💯 I’m still happy like Boosie !
If you grew up in the hood with nothing and poor... Well than you struggled... Like me
Because We Don’t Kiss Ass
I loves me some Ernest Thomas !!🥰
Speak that truth brother! Crabs in a bucket syndrome! I have a Mexican GC breaking the game down to me and I tried to give the business to support black entrepreneurs…and they were greedy, deceptive, not dependable, and we’re trying to take advantage of me…sad. We have to do better
Love when people keep it. What's happening paved the way for alot of us. RIP to the cast members lost over the years.
Earnest is one of the few OGs left in the acting game. He pursued his own projects and that's what real Artists do. It kept him getting money so he didn't have to bow to the core-shattering rituals these minimal talent but desperate now-celebrities so willingly do. He's strong in his faith, good, bc they gon come for him. I hope he encourages more artist to speak out, and maybe he's right, these younger artists and older actors like him could collaborate. F*ck the illuminati-hollywood cult ......Bring the real Artists forward!
💯👍🏽💯💯💯💯👍🏽💯👍🏽💯👍🏽💯👍🏽💯
You see what I'm seeing, I get it, but instead he should be telling the young Generation , to run , stay away there is no good in it ,
Ernest we appreciate you and all the many yrs of laughs you gave some of us!!!! Thank you!!
All facts...all day every day....Raj
He's not lying
Beautiful ❤️ man, humble and great guy..... when he played in Malcolm x, he had a small role but again he did a heart felt stand-up guy!
I'm so glad you speaking out
When Ernest Thomas played “Prince Uche” was one of my favorite episodes on Martin 😂
THIS MAN IS TALKING TRUTH
A lot of people didn't know that Martin started on Whats Happening Know. I grew up in the 70s and 80s.
@@amarvinwinansfan what you talking about willis
I actually forgot, now I have to look up old clips! lol
Yeah we know. You're not the only one who grew up in the 70s.
That's why you have to respect Master P even more no one ever says he gave them a badd deal,
Pimp C?
@@kadeib no master P was signed to Pimp c mom under management she was his management
Yeah, P even bought a screenplay from Eddie Griffin for $1M
Stop... Master P is a real life Big Red from the 5 Heartbeats😭😭😭
Oh yes they do
This is the most honest and realist interview ever!!!!
That damn ring light reflection makes 'em have those Disney eyes👀🤣
Outside of that...these stories seem very precise lol
Got to respect Raj for keeping it real!
Damn Rodg...tell us how u REALLY feel Lol
Facts..he speaking truth..he doesn't have to lie..
Hip Hop News Uncensored Ya'll finally got the title right , it actually matches the story this time .
Yeah. I remember a lady coworker of mine getting dissed hard by Tommy Ford when she excitedly walked up to him outside his trailer where he was filming a scene for New York Undercover back in late 90s. I cautioned her not to bother him, but she didn't listen. So, I stood back and watched as she approached him to ask for an autograph.
He stared at her blankly for second, then said, ''I can't spell.'', then walked into his trailer and closed the door. I was like, ''You see? Don't ever sweat celebrities.''
Wow, he did that??
I believe Ernest when he said Martin changed. I know people that knew Martin and they said he changed too ever since he blew up. I still love Martin anyway. He s a good actor
He’s an ok comedian
Is it just me but the reflection in his glasses make this eyes look hilarious at times
Pierre, Tommy Davidson, Bill Bellamy, Tisha Campbell, Carl Payne all had something similar to this story. Martin probably let his insecurities get the best of him. He actually revealed it on one of his episodes. He is a true comedian… He knew how to make fun of his real flaws.
Martin Lawrence told the truth in his sitcom episode with Tommy Davidson but the reality was the other way around
Tommy davidson have Martin his style Tommy character is Tommy davidson on Martin q
Don't forget how he treated Garrett Morris (Stan)
Martin ain't that funny
Spanky Hayes did, too.
Bill Cosby has done too much for black people financially for me to throw him under the boss.
I agree 💯
Case was bullshit
So True.
Agree 100%
I just have a question and I hope that I am phrasing this correctly. When you feel as if you “owe” someone, at what point is your debt paid? I just got the feeling from this clip that Ernest felt like Martin could have done more. I also got the feeling that he would not have been satisfied with Martin just helping with a few things. I believe he wanted him to help with a majority of his projects. People don’t like to feel obligated all the time. And I’m sure there are celebrities that feel that they must satisfy their group or else they will get upset with them. So much pressure and this is why some celebrities go into depression. They feel as if they are pulled in all directions. I don’t believe that God saw fit just to bless Martin and not Ernest. What’s for you is for you and no man can stand in the way of that. Whatever projects that Ernest wanted to put out could have still saw the light of day. I could never bash anyone that didn’t help me. Notice I’m saying help not harm. That’s different and I don’t think Martin harmed him or showed ill-will towards him.
Absolutely..
Totally agree!! Just sounds a bit bitter!
it's about opening a door for others that open for you. He helped support Martin for a role on the show. and wen got famous he act like he did it by himself. That type bs aint cool. He wasn't asking for money but putting in a good word to help him find a job too.
Maybe, but why are you so over dramatic with this long as- paragraph..
@Peezyman Right,but evil and greed rules over this world and that is why you don't have any likes.
That was Hollywood talk maaan!!😂😂😂
HA HAAAAAA I Found IT!!!!!!! Thanks, Regi!!!
Brother Ernest said a word today!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
He's The Absolute Best so underrated.
Such a legend!!! Respect his bluntness.
All love for you King! You’re a legend for ever.. Thanks for your honesty! Keep building and we will always support you!
Amen Thomas!!!
Martin is part of the club too. Most of entertainers are.
Respect for demon worshippers nahhhhh people behind the scenes tried to kill him years ago.
💯💯💯
Facts and he’s just speaking truth to power
