    Message to J holiday: several years ago in Detroit Michigan I was working at a nightclub called "Envy"... I was pregnant and looking like I was just about ready to pop😂, but I had to make my coins... So there I was as a bathroom attendant when you came walking through heading to the VIP area. I couldn't believe that you actually stopped, looked directly at me while pointing at my big HUGE belly asking "why are you here?"... I'm not going to lie I was a little embarrassed but Starstruck at the same time... so I replied with "I gotta do, what I gotta do!" .... you then gave me a nod as if you understood and proceeded to your VIP area. Now I'm writing you this because that child is now an 11 year old girl name lyric, that has been hit by the bug of Music and she is amazing. ..So Maybe it wasn't just the fact that I was pregnant & working in a nightclub that made you notice me.. maybe it was actually you noticing a star before she was born! 😊

I believe he got discouraged from that, but he wasn’t forced to stop. He even said himself he didn’t wanna be signed anymore, so he wasn’t tied down. Like I said, he was discouraged

He was calm and classy in the interview, but the video he put out be was reckless asf.😂😂 At the end of the day, if yo real issue is with sexually explicit lyrics, why didn't you make your commentary in that video inclusive to male artists whose lyrics are just as explicit if not more. 🤔 instead, he carefully selected female artists to go in on. Either you have the issue, or you don't, you can't pick and choose when you wanna have an issue. That's the only problem I got with what he sayin. 🤷🏿‍♀️

      Why are you dumb bitches taking offense about whether dude looks like Peabo? She wasn't talking shit. Peabo was a nice looking man in his younger years. In fact she's being kind because Holiday is not attractive especially without that hat that hides his receding hairline which makes his forehead into a fivehead that rivals Rihanna.😊
