Kandi should honestly just interview veteran artists like Nivea with 15+ years in the industry with actual stories to tell. Imagine her interviewing artists like Kelly and Michelle, LeToya, Ciara, Ashanti, Mya, Mario, Lloyd, Sammie, Bow Wow, all the 90s groups like Total, 702, Brownstone, 112, Dru Hill and the men like Brian McKnight, Joe, Ginuwine and Avant.
@@LeeTheLee BET did a mini-documentary series (Finding) of artists from the ’90s and 00’s on their UA-cam channel, and Nivea was one of the artists. It's called ➡️ Finding: Nivea. Check it out! It's not as transparent as this interview (she is much more open with certain things that I did not know in the other episode) with Kandi, but she is honest with the story of her career and the things that she did share, which is respected, too! And it is a great way to get another understanding (much love and respect) of how a mighty, triumphant, and strong 💪 woman Nivea is.
I cried when she was speaking on how the Cocaine had her. My God is mighty and she was pulled out of that dark place. I’m so happy to see Nivea get back to music. You’ve been missed
I know it shows how god is always with us and we should thank Jesus for everything we have because there are people thank are struggling so we have to stay strong
Kandi had them business eyes! She was looking like “girl I’ll have your song out TOMORROW” then the book and movie…. WE 👏🏾ARE 👏🏾READY 👏🏾FOR 👏🏾NIVEA👏🏾👏🏾
This is sad! Parents on drugs. Coming from a broken home. Being raped and molested. Over coming drug addiction. It’s only by the grace of God that she is still standing strong. I have a new found respect for her. I pray that she continues to get the healing that she needs.
BEST INTERVIEW EVER!!! SINGLE MOM UNDERSTANDS. KANDI, THANKS FOR GIVING ME A SCHOLARSHIP IN 2017 FOR AN ASSOCIATE DEGREE. I ENDED UP EARNING A BACHELOR OF SCIENCE INSTEAD. GOING ON TO EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATION, WHILE NOW IN THE PROCESS OF EARNING MY DOCTOR OF HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATION WITH AN EMPHASIS IN HEALTH CARE LEADERSHIP. I’M FOREVER GRATEFUL KANDI!! I JUST HOPE KANDI SEE’S THIS 😘 #Kandi #KandiCaresFoundation
Wow Jerhea that's an incredible story. So awesome of you to acknowledge Kandi, she's such a role Model. You've done GREAT for yourself, she reached for and you took the ball and ran with it! That's why it's always important to support our youth.
BABY, I KNOW THAT I AM 😘😀LATE, BUT BABYYYYY, YOU DID THAT AND I AM SOOOO EXTREMELY PROUD OF YOU!! AND SINCE I'M JUST NOW SEEING YOUR POST...I'M TOOTING YOUR 📯 TODAY!! 🎉 🎉 🎉
Listen...I went to high school with Nivea and she in one of the sweetest, realest, caring, most honest person you will ever meet. I remember when Danger dropped, she had just graduated. The whole school was excited for her! Such a beautiful spirit. I hope to run into her again one day. She deserves everything good coming to her.
I’m in awe of Nivea. She’s traveled through a lot of darkness, yet remained “light”. I have compassion for those who dim for a moment, and I have extreme respect for those who don’t flicker at all. Shine on Nivea. Continue your journey with brilliance. ⭐️ 💡
Kandi’s memory is top notch. She was paying attention, processing what Nivea said, stopped then clarified when something didn’t make sense. Cuz the timeline was a little all over the place. Kandi kept it inline
Kandi literally always has the “cat eye” shes not being shady she’s genuinely like this with everyone and shes a sweetheart 💕💕 im happy she gave nivea this space to be transparent and honest
@@DiTwanHodges agreed , but i dont think she was here ... they are friends and have been for years so i think this was more so of a comfortable kandi instead of professional interviewer
@@soleilcash6796 Yeah I can definitely see it lol but the interview overall is very smooth. Just shows good friendship compatibility. There wasn't any real awkward tension.
Me too because I can relate and when she just thanked God I was crying and praising God with her. I love to see people survive what was meant to take them out and I love Nivea🙏🏽💪🏾❤️
Wow “ and life finally gave me something back“ it’s been a mean world without you! I love that song, That’s my part every time. I listen to that song every day❤️
Kandi .... get with the Bravo people and get Nivea a show and follow her journey into rediscovering music.... she seems ready to get back out there.. and she obviously has a following.... cause these views are your best
Not with Bravo! They are going to exploit her pain and bring more drama to her life for tv ratings. I think she should be on TVone unsung or something.

If anything came from this intervies, its to PROTECT OUR BLACK GIRLS. So many black women violated as youth grow up harboring pain and resentment they fall in to the arms of men who continue to repeat the abuse. Nivea is a strong woman.
This why i fucks with Nivea….. she real asf…I’m so happy that Nivea overcame her addiction. Cause when i tell you Nivea gives me life when i see her on Encore, she so funny
Nivea has a great spirit. This interview really moved me. People idolize celebrities and have no clue what they’ve went through. 😞 many blessings and success to her. Kandi did a great job with this interview.
@sassymatazzy My parents were drug addicted so I know the feeling. I raised myself from the age of 12 on. I didn't turn promiscuous but I did throw myself into work and was a perfectionist (which is never realistic). It made me highly susceptible to being disappointed in people. I wanted everything in my life to be perfect. I was trying to compensate for having such a messed up life. There's so much that selfish parents put on their children. It is ridiculous. Neither of my parents ever took accountability for their actions or apologized.
Kandi please help her. Write for her and surround her with boss women. Let’s love on this woman and support her. Nivea is a sweetheart and I’m so glad she overcame everything she went through.
@@Dizzle20062006 Nives herself said in this very interview that she DID NOT write. Even if she did, Kandi has worked with and written hits for some of the best songwriters.
I'm a man and I watched this and I am so disappointed in my fellow black men there is no way in hell these black women should be done like this by "black men" this story broke my heart because I truly believe she was a Good woman 😔
After seeing a clip of this interview on Instagram. I watched the whole thing here on UA-cam. I cried so hard at the end because I was in the darkness and shame of addiction. I wanted to stop but didn’t know how. I went to outpatient rehab was sober for 3 months and relapsed. I was at my wits end! After hearing her say she just stopped because she was tired! Gave me hope that I could just stop. I’ve been sober 2 months today. Im so grateful and I thank her for her courage and honesty because she helped me. To God be the glory 🙌🏾 I’m coming to peace again ❤️
After all these years this woman still has sex appeal and addictive aura about her. Its something about her realness/transparency that makes her super attractive. She's definitely a ride or die who doubles as a best friend.
Yes she just had a lot going on in her life. Seem she was too neglected and miseducated if that's a word but you know what I mean. She's had a rough one. Still Beautiful and I'm A Huge fan❤❤❤❤❤ God Bless her and her children. Thank you Kandi for the interview God bless you and your family Kandi❤❤❤
That cocaine addiction taught Nivea how to fight back and fight for herself. She still remains one of my all time favorites because she was authentic and could singggg; her and Lil Mo were my girls in school! Come to think of it, a Nivea and Lil Mo verzuz would be amazing! Their energy would be fire!
Lol Kandi was coaching her like a stage mom: “You’re a fan favorite right now. Drop a song right now. It don’t matter what it is. Drop a song RIGHT NOW.”
Interviewing is Kandi's niche!! This is it! Nivea has a testimony and should truly have her own docuseries! This had me crying. This woman has been through it!
When Nivea broke down crying, I broke down too because childhood trauma, postpartum depression, mental illness, and feeling alone and unloved will try to destroy you. I’m so glad and happy that she overcame everything she’s gone through!!!!! 🙏🏾 Thank You LORD
Same! I see myself in her and though our paths aren't exactly the same, we both have over come things we didn't think we would. I'm grateful she is alive and that she has seen the light at the tunnel.
That was such a interesting statement where she mentioned how her children not listening to her as they got older reminded her of how she was being a doormat to people she thought loved her and felt useless. A lot of mothers feel that way once their children get older, maybe not to that extent… but it’s a real thing and feeling
I think she cried while talking about the drugs because that was something she did to herself. The other stuff was stuff that had been done TO her, but her addiction was self inflicted …..and she overcame it
We're in the 4th & 5th dimensions & a new age of aquarius and people are becoming more loving and more compassionate towards one another and im loving it....and it'll only get better over time!!!
@@alisiac2 that part! Her face is clearly just her trying to understand NOT Judge. You can tell this by her detailed questions…better than a foolishly smiling interviewer who’s only thinking about how they look or being liked 😒
The fact that her voice was shaky almost the whole time tells me a lot of this needed to be released!!! Nivea I’m praying for you and you’re still young & GOD is still gonna do big things in your life!!! Please please please keep going to therapy & GOD 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Absolutely. Listening to her story changed my view of her. A lot of the times we say "I wonder what happened to such and such artist..." We don't realize what hell people go through behind the scenes. I pray for her continued healing.
You ain't nevva lied! I tried holding my tears the whole interview until the cocaine story...I couldn't stop crying for her. I pray she has a most successful career comeback. She definitely needs to do a book AND A MOVIE!!!
@@michellelove34 yes a detailed book would be very therapeutic 😌 yes this did add the cherry on top 😀 for me. I wonder if she has a R Kelly story 🤔 😳 she did do laundromat.
Very!!! As long as I have breath in me, my kids will never go through the things she did. My daughter talks to me about what to do with her hair, so there is no way she would not consult me about major issues. You have to have a friendship with your kids. Not like party with them, but for them to talk to you as they talk with their friends
It's because so many people abuse the word now and claim they're depressed anytime they are mildly inconvenienced or upset or sad. Real depression is much more.
I pray you can overcome your situation and know that GOD got you 🙏..No matter how much the devil think he will win he will not. That darkness that's over you will come off and you will see the sunlight that GOD has over you. "Lord Jesus please cover your child, let her see that there is NOTHING that she can not overcome. Lord show her the beauty love and independence that she have on the out and inside that she can't see. Lord she needs you in you son name I pray AMEN 🙏 🙏
Nivea, is still very much so shy. That’s why she has that nervous laugh. I recognize defense mechanisms of shy people all too well. I love her spirit and wish her well.
Agreed… the fact that she still spoke her truth just displays her level of strength and light…. Moves me and also makes me feel better about how my own shyness comes off to people lol 💕
This interview was needed, because you never know what someone is going through or what they’ve been through. I’m so proud of Nivea for standing in her TRUTH and being herself. I’m wishing and praying nothing but Gods best for her in every area of her life.
She put into words exactly how I felt. Quiting life...tired of being a mom, a friend, a sister etc but not exactly wanting to die. A soul exhaustion... I'm so glad we made it through the dark night of the soul ❤️
Sending prayers, love and light your way. You are a phenomenal woman who may need a reminder if how how loved and appreciated you are. Don't let them take your joy. You are important!
Yes I know that feeling too. Looking in the mirror and not recognising yrself anymore and not finding joy in things you used to love is a terrible feeling and so hard to shake off. As she said ,as mothers we look after everyone but ourselves .It can be done though , I decided to invest in myself no matter the time or cost . buy that handbag you always wanted, go to the hairdressers and get yr hair done, buy a book and spend a day by yourself in the park reading , because life’s too short and no one can love you in the way you can love yourself xx
Nivea is so honest and humble, I love her interviews, she doesn’t know how many women she’s helping being transparent because a lot of us have been there or are there now
Nivea has an aura that you automatically want to be around her. This a true testament that your life is valued. I'm so happy her children was able to reintroduce herself to herself 💞
So Kelis was supposed to sing the chorus on Danger initially?!?! I can totally see that and hear her on the track. But, Nivea killed it and that was the introduction she needed to the world. These interviews be having the best industry gems and secrets.
@@shainarobinson2836 but we are a group, why do you exclude us black men??? Yall always want us to fight for you but when convienent exclude black men like we are just built to be raped abused and taken advantage of... 😒
This interview made me love her even more than I already do. I truly want her to win. I'm definitely going to support her. She's such an inspiration. I love will find her now that she's on the road to loving herself.
@@nicholaprofitt omg I was thinking about that. Can you imagine feeling so Less than after it was over. He basically treated her like she was Nothing. To do that in a public place shows how little he cared for her and what he thought about her.
When Nivea let out that cry , I cried with her. Her story is a generational story for all women .. ✨ may GOD bless her and anyone else who walked in her shoes before
💯 ... I just wish it was no strive to have to be manly strong or fight to survive from any form of worldly predators .. I just wish we were & stay being protected as blk wmn!
That part where she described feeling overwhelmed with the changes her body went through after the twin??.....Many women can relate after having the second or third child. It's a lot, even if you are thin. Life makes you stressed out and everyone has a valley experience. Loved this interview. Kandi just let her talk. PLEASE!!!!!!!! Somebody give her a good deal whether it be s book, a BET movie, a Tyler Perry movie, record deal, play or something.
She is still so hurt by all of this. Laughing to keep from crying. All of this is so sad. Parents, it is so VITAL to be actively involved in your kids lives. I want her to win so bad. And I want her to truly find peace and heal from all of her trauma
Nivea never been ugly and super Uber talented truly a star this lady knows how to push her pin and that voice ! I see why Wayne couldn’t let her go for years on years . She seems so healthy so bubbly this girl is fun , this is wayyyyy better than her vlad interview IMO Wow Nivea write that book , your testimony is gospel I needed all of this and I’m just going through the little whoas of life I feel are mountains but man I just needed too hear this man 🙏🏾
Yes that part was heart wrenching!.. but I was happy just to know tht some1 just some1 gave her that uplifting compliment so she could see what others see in her!
Kandi is a rare kind of woman, men love her , women love her and she is very supportive with peoples talent. loved this interview and loved Nivea's spirit such a blessed talented woman.
This had me in tears when she broke down about her drug addiction. Very good interview. She needs to write a book or even do a movie or series about her life
she was literally abused for so much of her life, her entire career happened bc she was being abused and i wish her so much healing. that humor is such a beautiful coping mechanism we love u nivea
Kandi should honestly just interview veteran artists like Nivea with 15+ years in the industry with actual stories to tell. Imagine her interviewing artists like Kelly and Michelle, LeToya, Ciara, Ashanti, Mya, Mario, Lloyd, Sammie, Bow Wow, all the 90s groups like Total, 702, Brownstone, 112, Dru Hill and the men like Brian McKnight, Joe, Ginuwine and Avant.

When Kandi said “ladies go after your career just like men do”❗️❗️❗️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Right.
Facts masculine energy gets work done
a lot of women feel like that they need men especially during there younger years which shouldn't be the case
Us as women settle for so much even when it effects us in a bad way we are definitely the goat men could neva but i so felt that part
Sadly she gets hated on JUST FOR DOING THAT!
She needs an episode of Unsung, a Lifetime movie and a documentary on her life.
Definitely
I thought she had one alteady
This already a hour she need a movie

After seeing a clip of this interview on Instagram. I watched the whole thing here on UA-cam. I cried so hard at the end because I was in the darkness and shame of addiction. I wanted to stop but didn’t know how. I went to outpatient rehab was sober for 3 months and relapsed. I was at my wits end! After hearing her say she just stopped because she was tired! Gave me hope that I could just stop. I’ve been sober 2 months today. Im so grateful and I thank her for her courage and honesty because she helped me. To God be the glory 🙌🏾 I’m coming to peace again ❤️
I hope that ur still here and praying for ur healing 🙏🏾🫶🏾
Keep going, you’ll find your strength and get through it! Rooting for you !!!!❤
ME TOO LOVE, MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU N BRING YOU THOUGH.
Prayers for continued healing ❤
So proud of you 🎉❤🫶🏾🙏🏾
She needs to write an autobiography. Her story could be a BESTSELLER!!!
Fr
Yes, I need to read her story
Factz
Yes!!!
Could be?!?🤔 IS !!😑
Man this was one, of the most realist interviews ever: What a strong women she is.
Facts
Never her open up like this.
Yesss
Absolutely 👍🏼👍🏼
💯 💯💯💯💯💯💯
After all these years this woman still has sex appeal and addictive aura about her. Its something about her realness/transparency that makes her super attractive. She's definitely a ride or die who doubles as a best friend.
Ride or die costed her a lot. Never be a ride or die.
Being a ride or die is not a badge of honor. She ruined her career chasing dusty males.
Exactly
Yes she does!!!
I love her, she has nothing to show for riding. Now she can ride for Nivea.
I love Nivea even more now. Her strength is amazing! ❤
This interview is extremely wild. She didn't have anyone protecting her.
Candy kept cutting her. It's almost like. Bitch you saying too much
@@chrishendabain7344 yess I noticed that
@@chrishendabain7344...good looking out.
She sure didn't... so sad.
U heart hurt man
Damn when she say "danger" was supposed to be Kelis' song that made total sense to me I can hear kelis on that
Right. Me, too.
Makes total sense because the Neptunes produced it!
Same! I thought it was kelis for years actually so this definitely made sense.
Same
I agree
It sounded like she wanted to cry through out this interview. This is a strong ass WOMAN! I have so much respect for her!
Right I knew she eventually was gonna let it out!
Niveas voice always spunds like shes going to cry, she seems such a truly nice person
That’s why I think she still on the drugs .
@@stacyr4768girl what..what correlation
Yes she just had a lot going on in her life. Seem she was too neglected and miseducated if that's a word but you know what I mean. She's had a rough one. Still Beautiful and I'm A Huge fan❤❤❤❤❤ God Bless her and her children. Thank you Kandi for the interview God bless you and your family Kandi❤❤❤
That cocaine addiction taught Nivea how to fight back and fight for herself. She still remains one of my all time favorites because she was authentic and could singggg; her and Lil Mo were my girls in school! Come to think of it, a Nivea and Lil Mo verzuz would be amazing! Their energy would be fire!
Good match up 🔥
It definitely would cause I loved lil mo too
Yes!! The vibe of them two together would be Everything.
@@PrettyEyes02100 everything for the hood girls all across the globe 🌎♥️
@@danacalice7853 Yesss 💯💯💯💗
Lol Kandi was coaching her like a stage mom: “You’re a fan favorite right now. Drop a song right now. It don’t matter what it is. Drop a song RIGHT NOW.”
Kandi and her facial expressions was emotionally everywhere.....lol she was like pause...
She already dropped a new song well it aint that new but its new
lol i caught that too, a good friend
I can’t wait to support anything Nivea does. She deserves to win.
Rite
Me too I was thinking the same
Yes she does!! 🙌
Interviewing is Kandi's niche!! This is it! Nivea has a testimony and should truly have her own docuseries! This had me crying. This woman has been through it!
When Nivea broke down crying, I broke down too because childhood trauma, postpartum depression, mental illness, and feeling alone and unloved will try to destroy you. I’m so glad and happy that she overcame everything she’s gone through!!!!! 🙏🏾 Thank You LORD
Me too!!!!
Same! I see myself in her and though our paths aren't exactly the same, we both have over come things we didn't think we would. I'm grateful she is alive and that she has seen the light at the tunnel.
Yessssss we are praying for her
Oh wow!
I hope Kandi writes a song for her. That’s a link up that I’d like to see
I was looking for this comment 💙
Oooh, yes. That's a good idea.
Yesss
me to😊
That would be awesome
Nivea was THAT GIRL in the early 2000's all her songs are hits and still is. She is a real survivor I pray for her mental peace.
She was a baddie 🔥🔥
That was such a interesting statement where she mentioned how her children not listening to her as they got older reminded her of how she was being a doormat to people she thought loved her and felt useless. A lot of mothers feel that way once their children get older, maybe not to that extent… but it’s a real thing and feeling
She need a book, documentary, biopic, the industry owe her everything
Yes, EVERYTHING!!!!
She definitely needs a book with details
This the comment!
Yes to a biopic!!!
I feel like lifetime will reach out after this interview. I would definitely tune in!
I think she cried while talking about the drugs because that was something she did to herself. The other stuff was stuff that had been done TO her, but her addiction was self inflicted …..and she overcame it
that is a really insightful observation
Very true! I felt her pain
@@RuthLovesJesus me to
She the one who got me to loving the bob yess
Omg, can you be my life coach? Lol. I wouldn’t have thought of it in that sense
Never seen such a pure comment section of just love and support. This interview was great
We're in the 4th & 5th dimensions & a new age of aquarius and people are becoming more loving and more compassionate towards one another and im loving it....and it'll only get better over time!!!
If “can’t control my face” was a person, Kandi is the draft pick.
it irks me
Ikr! It’s like judgment all over her face 😂😂
Right but Kandi can’t judge bc she has had her issues with her man and marriage as well lol
I love her facial expressions. It looked like two friends having a conversation and she genuinely seemed concerned about the situations.
@@alisiac2 that part! Her face is clearly just her trying to understand NOT Judge. You can tell this by her detailed questions…better than a foolishly smiling interviewer who’s only thinking about how they look or being liked 😒
The way she just laughs off all the pain 😭 I jus want to hug her
Yes me too! She's a brave soul and I'm glad she shared her story.
The fact that her voice was shaky almost the whole time tells me a lot of this needed to be released!!! Nivea I’m praying for you and you’re still young & GOD is still gonna do big things in your life!!!
Please please please keep going to therapy & GOD 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Yes like she wanted to cry or something😢
But she always cry when they bring up her kids. She cried in the other interview.
Absolutely. Listening to her story changed my view of her. A lot of the times we say "I wonder what happened to such and such artist..." We don't realize what hell people go through behind the scenes. I pray for her continued healing.
@@Meg-cn7kw shes human a title bigger than a celebrity
My heart hurts for Nivea. You can hear the pain in her voice. She held tears back this whole interview. 😢😢😢
You ain't nevva lied! I tried holding my tears the whole interview until the cocaine story...I couldn't stop crying for her. I pray she has a most successful career comeback. She definitely needs to do a book AND A MOVIE!!!
@@michellelove34 yes a detailed book would be very therapeutic 😌 yes this did add the cherry on top 😀 for me. I wonder if she has a R Kelly story 🤔 😳 she did do laundromat.
This interview made me like Nivea even more. She’s real and raw. Glad she is able to fight her demons. I pray that God blesses her abundantly.
Nivea's childhood is an example of why parents are important
Present, selfless parents. Kids are at the mercy of the adults in their lives.
Why good parenting is important
Very!!! As long as I have breath in me, my kids will never go through the things she did. My daughter talks to me about what to do with her hair, so there is no way she would not consult me about major issues. You have to have a friendship with your kids. Not like party with them, but for them to talk to you as they talk with their friends
Kandi needs to get in the studio with Nivea. Her pen game is crazy.
Do you know how crazy that record would be !!!! 🎶 🎤 💕 👏🏽
Iconic!!!!!
I think she will
@@Happy-mp7vm I hope so
Took the words out my mouth‼️
When she told all the horrible things she lived and then added that’s why I laugh a lot, that shit cut me!
Cut me DEEP too 😞😞😞
Me too I do that
Sooooo deep man
Yep
It did 🩹
I always always always loved me some Nivea! Still got her on my playlist in 2024 ❤️🔥🔥🔥
Me too! ❤️Nivea
Every single adult failed Nivea
That is sooooooooo sad.. They just took advantage of her.. I Love her
Sweet baby
Yeah. How do you allow your 14 year old daughter travel alone with a grown man you don’t know every week?
Every single one.
I love her transparency! Everything that she has been through taught her many life lessons and she’s not ashamed. 💜
She’s so likeable. I hope this is the beginning of a new era of her career.
This video has 1 million views!!!! I think that speaks for its self! Fans still love Nivea
People really don’t understand how deep depression is. I see myself in her more than anyone in my life knows.
Please keep your faith. Know that you are not alone. God Bless and Protect You always. 💕🌺❤💐😊
It's because so many people abuse the word now and claim they're depressed anytime they are mildly inconvenienced or upset or sad. Real depression is much more.
I pray you can overcome your situation and know that GOD got you 🙏..No matter how much the devil think he will win he will not. That darkness that's over you will come off and you will see the sunlight that GOD has over you. "Lord Jesus please cover your child, let her see that there is NOTHING that she can not overcome. Lord show her the beauty love and independence that she have on the out and inside that she can't see. Lord she needs you in you son name I pray AMEN 🙏 🙏
Facts
Seek therapy, it helped me. 🙏🏾
Nivea, is still very much so shy. That’s why she has that nervous laugh. I recognize defense mechanisms of shy people all too well. I love her spirit and wish her well.
I’m like that too lol
Me too
Agreed… the fact that she still spoke her truth just displays her level of strength and light…. Moves me and also makes me feel better about how my own shyness comes off to people lol 💕
Same way
This interview was needed, because you never know what someone is going through or what they’ve been through. I’m so proud of Nivea for standing in her TRUTH and being herself. I’m wishing and praying nothing but Gods best for her in every area of her life.
Nivea is great. I love her. Wish she got more recognition. She's so open and real. I'm now a forever Nivea Stan
I was today years old when I realized that was Nivea on Mystikal’s “Danger”!!
Me to 😩😂
Really?!?
omg how old are yall who didnt know this.
@BrownGolden Girl I’m 32 I did grow up with it I just never noticed!
@@eshagcom3742 32!! Just never paid attention! 🤣
That’s why I keep telling people, do not go on celebrities comment section and judge them..they be going through a lot behind the scene
Fr
Exactly! People think because they have money and fame then everything is ok.
@@legendaryreactions5312 Right Biggie said it....Mo money....mo problems! It comes with the territory!
This interview was so moving. I cried. I felt everything she said. I can’t wait to see her WIN!! She deserved it and more!!♥️
Yes, her story is amazing. Glad she’s able to talk through it.
So agree with everything you said
Me and you both
The fact that she can tell her story shows that she’s already winning. A lot of people are keeping stuff like this inside and slowly dying 😞
You can tell she’s honest 😢I’m glad 🙏🏾🙏🏾 she got through her addiction & be here for her kids 💕
She put into words exactly how I felt. Quiting life...tired of being a mom, a friend, a sister etc but not exactly wanting to die. A soul exhaustion... I'm so glad we made it through the dark night of the soul ❤️
I'm in that space now 😔
Sending prayers, love and light your way. You are a phenomenal woman who may need a reminder if how how loved and appreciated you are. Don't let them take your joy. You are important!
Yes I know that feeling too. Looking in the mirror and not recognising yrself anymore and not finding joy in things you used to love is a terrible feeling and so hard to shake off. As she said ,as mothers we look after everyone but ourselves .It can be done though , I decided to invest in myself no matter the time or cost . buy that handbag you always wanted, go to the hairdressers and get yr hair done, buy a book and spend a day by yourself in the park reading , because life’s too short and no one can love you in the way you can love yourself xx
I've been there
@@ladaiabrown5368 I pray that you get to a better place and come out on the other side better and stronger. You are loved and necessary! ❤❤
Nivea is so honest and humble, I love her interviews, she doesn’t know how many women she’s helping being transparent because a lot of us have been there or are there now
We need a book Nivea. Honestly… truly.
Nah Fr!!!
👆🏾🥰🙏🏾❤️‼️🕊👏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🕊🙏🏾🙏🏾
Nivea has an aura that you automatically want to be around her. This a true testament that your life is valued. I'm so happy her children was able to reintroduce herself to herself 💞
So Kelis was supposed to sing the chorus on Danger initially?!?! I can totally see that and hear her on the track. But, Nivea killed it and that was the introduction she needed to the world. These interviews be having the best industry gems and secrets.
She said j lo
@@beb5407 No, she said JLo was originally supposed to have OK.
@@MrElite_01 she said JLO about the song Dream produced.
What happened to Nivea as a kid is tragic. I wish that young Black women were protected.
I wish all black people were protected
@@damien1781 🤨
@@damien1781 lies
@@taijohnson9139 she said black women. Not to exclude black men. But black women have a story to tell too.
@@shainarobinson2836 but we are a group, why do you exclude us black men??? Yall always want us to fight for you but when convienent exclude black men like we are just built to be raped abused and taken advantage of... 😒
It's hard to come across someone this honest.
💯
She is A1
Aries people are very transparent. We think everybody like this
This interview made me love her even more than I already do. I truly want her to win. I'm definitely going to support her. She's such an inspiration. I love will find her now that she's on the road to loving herself.
Let's see if Todd can produce a show for Nivea.. she deserves her flowers and accolades now!!! Come on now!!
Kandi and Todd should invest in a Netflix movie about her life
Sis stayed scandle free with all she's been through.
But just imagine how many girls this happened too?? (Aliyah)
@@aminahpd #FACTS.....I was in shock when she said her ole man friend sexed her on his car hood IN PUPLIC 😳😳😳😳. I wish she had dropped NAMES
@@aminahpd What was weird about Aaliyah was that her parents were involved with her life and she had a good happy childhood
@@nicholaprofitt omg I was thinking about that. Can you imagine feeling so Less than after it was over. He basically treated her like she was Nothing. To do that in a public place shows how little he cared for her and what he thought about her.
All of that led to her being a doormat in her relationships. She felt she wasnt worth it.
“IM A MFN SURVIVOR!!” Yaaassssss Nivea!!
Say that talk for the people in the back!!!!!!!! I felt that
The way she chose to bare it all in this dialogue is so special.
Isn't it though from beginning to end. She has so much to give to this generation.
Sooooooo special 🥺 she’s always been so special 💕💕
When Nivea let out that cry , I cried with her. Her story is a generational story for all women .. ✨ may GOD bless her and anyone else who walked in her shoes before
🙌🏾
🙏🏾
Yasss
I love strong surviving women and the fact that she gives God the Glory..and not Luck..knowing where her help comes from..you better shine on Nivea.
💯 ... I just wish it was no strive to have to be manly strong or fight to survive from any form of worldly predators .. I just wish we were & stay being protected as blk wmn!
Say, that!
💯💯💯‼️
That part where she described feeling overwhelmed with the changes her body went through after the twin??.....Many women can relate after having the second or third child. It's a lot, even if you are thin.
Life makes you stressed out and everyone has a valley experience. Loved this interview. Kandi just let her talk.
PLEASE!!!!!!!! Somebody give her a good deal whether it be s book, a BET movie, a Tyler Perry movie, record deal, play or something.
She is still so hurt by all of this. Laughing to keep from crying. All of this is so sad. Parents, it is so VITAL to be actively involved in your kids lives. I want her to win so bad. And I want her to truly find peace and heal from all of her trauma
Asé
Yes, she’s hurt. Trauma changes and shapes you forever especially experiences like hers...
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Please write the book. We’ll support the movie, the music, and THE VISION!
🙌🏾
PERIODT 🤍

THE STRENGTH OF A BLACK WOMAN... I AM SO PROUD OF NIVEA.. HER VULNERABILITY HER PURENESS... ❤❤❤
Nivea never been ugly and super Uber talented truly a star this lady knows how to push her pin and that voice ! I see why Wayne couldn’t let her go for years on years .
She seems so healthy so bubbly this girl is fun , this is wayyyyy better than her vlad interview IMO
Wow Nivea write that book , your testimony is gospel I needed all of this and I’m just going through the little whoas of life I feel are mountains but man I just needed too hear this man 🙏🏾
When she said “my kids just made me feel like I was something “ broke my already broken heart 😥
Yes that part was heart wrenching!.. but I was happy just to know tht some1 just some1 gave her that uplifting compliment so she could see what others see in her!
@@ms.ladybug6186 I just heard her saying the same thing on bet's finding I'm glad to see she is back again.
Kandi is a rare kind of woman, men love her , women love her and she is very supportive with peoples talent. loved this interview and loved Nivea's spirit such a blessed talented woman.
SO TRUE! EVERYTHING YOU SAID
Nivea is an interviewer's dream. She tells it all No filter. Kandi struggling to get a question in 😂
She's been holding alot in, she's got alot to say.
Shes an Aries I recognize this energy because I'm an Aries lol we're very energetic and warrior natured our hearts are of gold very passionate
This had me in tears when she broke down about her drug addiction. Very good interview. She needs to write a book or even do a movie or series about her life
she was literally abused for so much of her life, her entire career happened bc she was being abused and i wish her so much healing. that humor is such a beautiful coping mechanism we love u nivea
