Teyana is literally everything any record label would want wrapped up in one package with a bow on top. The fact that so many people, the industry, fumbled her so hard is crazy smh
Why do ya'll have this mentality that the industry can force the public to like an artist. 99% of the artist that label sign fail. The Beyonce, Mary J Blige, etc are anomalies. Most artist don't pop off.
@@ocampbell1954 The public already liked her as a person. Her Sweet16 episode was popular af, people were listening to Google Me, her UA-cam choreography videos had buzz, her version of Marvin’s Room was well liked, the list can go on and on. All that WITHOUT an album. When it comes to artist development, she would have needed less than someone without any buzz.
@@nik-at-nite LOL at this. Social media popularity does not equate to album sales. How many fans does Selena Gomez have yet she can't sell albums to save her life. Instagram, Twitter, UA-cam, etc have ya'll thinking that's real life. Half them followers are bots.
@@ocampbell1954 I’m aware. There are other factors like timing, which Teyana stated in her interview. Again, it’s STILL a fumble. She can still sing, dance, write, act, she’s in the right rooms and knows how to network, is marketable, etc. Are those not all things an artist needs to be (aside from acting)?
@@ocampbell1954 Thank u... Been freaking with the music shit as long as I've been in a gang... 25 years. U are correct. The fans don't support these artists, and we watch the blame get shifted everywhere else.
I mean, look at how Pharrell treated Kelis AND how he back flipped after he lost the "blurred lines" lawsuit. He seems like the type that would promise you the world while keeping his fingers crossed behind his back 🙄
Yeah, his track record with dealing with his artists is VERY problematic, 🤔… Teyana music career could’ve flourish on an even higher level like Beyoncé’s…
She can sing, she can dance, she has an amazing attitude and work ethic, her image is so diverse, she can model, write her own songs and make her own choreographies, the industry loves her and she gets along with so many people. The woman was born a star. I admire her a lot.
I never forgot her name from my sweet 16, I was about three years younger then her and I looked up to her because she was herself the whole time. She had the most creative sweet 16 in my opinion. Shorty had me out here asking for a 5,000 bike😂
I feel the same way about Li'l Mama. She is very talented and has been overlooked by the industry. They didn't even want to give her a nomination for her role as Left Eye and she killed it.
Teyana needs to start her own label/company etc. Maybe the reason why no one else is able to give her what she deserves because she's TOO GOOD. She's TOO amazing! She's one of the g.o.a.ts in my eyes. She can do it on her own.
Problem is her old competitors would sabotage it. She's not that influential in the industry. Someone like Beyonce can have her artists songs played as many times as she wants. But Teyana, she doesn't have that kind of push. People would rather play a song that's trashy but it's been paid for than a good song that's from a talented person that can't pay for airplay.
You're 💯. With her talent who knows what she could do. Rap music wouldn't be if it wasn't for singer Sylvia Robinson hitting it on her own and she started her second record label by the time the Sugar Hill gang hit.
This woman is so talented. As passionate as she’s been about her music, it’s unfortunate it didn’t take off as deserved. But this may be a case of ‘everything happens for a reason’. Her path may be a different direction, and she’ll get her flowers.
But seriously thou I cant say everyone knows but id say if anyone enters the music business remember everyone aint your friend some people tryna save they own arse and not yours sadly the industry so coloful and tainted in a bad way anybody with good bones to enter may not even get no where unless they do as people please if you get what i mean sadly teyana feel sad for her she remind me of two ladies who can sing they behinds off that cross the path of some people in this video and even thou they went up one is kinda on pause the other doing movies id say to anybody going into the industry again watch who u work with and watch your back
Teyana is criminally underrated. I saw her dance with the Jabbawockeez, and then I heard her song “Gonna Love Me”. How tf is she not getting the same praise as Sza or Lizzo? She’s super talented, gorgeous, and a great mother. Blows my mind.
Exactly, my guess there is stuff she's not willing to do if you get my drift These executives want to control so they can brake you and mould you i don't think she's willing and that's a good thing. She just don't see it yet.
This proves that you can be soooo talented that the industry wouldn’t even know what to do with you, it’s like it’s cool and easy when a person is one thing , but when your multi talented!, they freeze 🥶
If shes so talented then why didnt she go independent? 😂 U do realize that shes the issue right? Lmaoo What is “The Industry” ? I find it so funny when ppl throw that phrase around 😂🤣😂 if she knew how to build leverage w her brand, she’d have leverage. She doesn’t have leverage because her branding is horrible, her timing is horrible, her perspective is horrible, her attitude is horrible, ive watched her very closely for over 10yrs (i wrk in music, ive consulted for artists at labels.) Shes the problem, and everyone around her knows this which is why NOBODY wants to work w her.
The industry wants dumb empty shells. Someone educated and informed would know too much... That to them is a big no. It's a wonder they like getting desperate artists that came from nothing, feed them false hopes, splash them with money. By the time the artist realizes the contract was off, it's too late.
She’s not retired from music hun, she’s not releasing any, whilst she’s still signed to those ppl. She’s going to release more music just as a new Independent artists, like Ciara. And I support her decision there.
@@lydiak2219 "overlooked"... Only the fans can create a star. They have never dubbed Taylor... Labels, and "names" aren't responsible for that part. The fans don't buy her albums... If they did; none of these situations would come to light become Taylor would be a popping name
I really resonate with Teyana's story and circumstances. Sometimes when you have so many aspects and facets people literally don't know what to do with you because they're so used to dealing with one trick ponies. The world looks down on the jack of all trades for some reason. I hope she gets everything life has to offer her and she never gives up on herself or her creative dreams. She is an amazing creative not just an artist. I'm going to go tap into this interview now.
Both Pharrell and Kanye are “Jack of all trade” types. They should’ve known. Must’ve been some incentive for these artists to find other artists… then when they did and got their initial cut… they fumbled the ball. Unfortunate.
@@ms.hjohnson6820 I definitely agree and they both are, but with them both doing the clothing lines and music they didn’t give her the same shine to flex herself. The multifaceted can multitask but only to a certain degree because you have soooo many aspects and ideas running through your head you have to often put at least one thing on the back burner. With that in mind, I would have never signed her because she doesn’t deserve to be on the back burner. From Teyana’s perspective I deal with people wanting to capture my light even though they don’t really know what to do with it - just to say they have it. It’s like being a butterfly or a firefly and they’re trying to figure out how you light up so they take you, but when you’re in bondage you can’t do what you were meant to which is be the light! I think both Pharrell and Kanye were selfish in their picking Teyana but T couldn’t tell because she was so damn young. I was more so referring to just the general public, why is she still underground after all she’s done? She’s proven herself time and time and TIME again to no avail. And it’s not because she’s not the shit, she’s just so complex and special she literally goes over people’s heads. I feel the same exact way and I’m “tired of hearing I can’t wait till you blow!” ❤️🩹
@@SugaRumBrown girl, this interview had me crying bc she is me. It’s so frustrating putting your all into your art while others get off with minimal effort. I will be watching it again because her resilience is amazing. I pray she get her just dues and I get mine.
I feel like she's too big for the music industry. She can do SO much more with her energy and uniqueness. She choreographs, does movies, and probably can produce and direct. Also if she has to do music I can see her as a rapper/singer (kinda like what Drake is known for lol) I've been watching her since she came out. She's from my hometown and I wish her much more success.
So true! She didn’t talk bad and just told facts. But Pharrell really did hurt her! She almost cried. I think it’s because her complexion and self worth doesn’t fit their idea of beauty. She’s gorgeous and could be as big as Beyoncé and Janet Jackson. She has the same talents.
Nicki Minaj and Drake worked well under Lil Wayne because Wayne was humble and secure in who he was that he pushed Nicki and Drake to be just like him. He really invested in them and was able to see a return in his investments. Wayne other artists on young money weren't as lucky.
CAP.... Wayne was high and out of commission half the time, and it is public knowledge that they signed fucked up deals, because wayne himself had a fucked up deal... Nicki and Drake worked well because the WHOLE Young Money/ Cash money was ALREADY working well thanks to Baby and slim and the talents of BG and mannie in the beginning, they just continued what was already in motion. had NOTHING to do with wayne. It was their talent and the machine behind them.
@@kingsweattv2465 Young Money/Cash Money had continued relevance because of LIL WAYNE and the fact he was frankly the best rapper in the game for years. Drake and Nicki had the talent, but him essentially co-signing on them and doing all those features with them definitely helped.
@@kingsweattv2465shut up u have no idea wtf y talking about, while Wayne was crafting his Carter 3 album he had already signed Drake and Nicki Minaj, u ain’t no Wayne fan and u have no idea what u talking about. Such hater go back to your miserable life
@@kingsweattv2465 young money/cash money legal executive! Talking like you typed the contract and was present when w they signed it. Y'all been on the internet speaking on people lives like you live with them.
This is why anyone of us shouldn't idolize these human beings. the stories these artists tell are immensely heartbreaking.the people managing these artist DEFINITELY shouldn't be idolized at all
Sometimes you have to be careful with who you love and putting them up on a pedestal bc you never know what type of devil or evil your actually looking up too
Normani doesn't have the hunger. Y'all need to give up. You can't be a fan of someone who doesn't want it. Y'all want this music career more than she does
@@imaraoctavia her character was so lovable. I miss old school friends like that. Seems I’m one of the last of the dying breed but I see me becoming more and more introverted in the land of the scandalous 🤷🏾♀️😢😩😆❤️
The sentiment of that movie was excellent. However, the storyline did not make much sense and teyanas plastic surgeries has taken away from her authenticity and was quite distracting. Lesson from her is to love yourself as you are and stop counting on external forces and people to make you shine and showcase your greatness!
She's absolutely STUNNING!!! My heart breaks for her! The fact that so many of "our" people were saying about her was sickening & pathetic! It's always "our" people who tear each other down! She's still successful, & I'm proud of her! She reminds me of a young Janet Jackson!
I love Teyana Taylor her music , choreography , work ethic. She is definitely on my playlist, “ The Album” is the truth. She is beyond a musician she is an artist and there is a very, very big difference. She is very much so seen and appreciated.
I’m so glad to see this. Teyana deserves so much more. I’ve been a true fan since VII, and I literally told her to her face during the The Album tour that we can’t have her retire bc her fans couldn’t care less about the bs. Her music is everything to us
No she doesnt “deserve more” lol she ruined her own career by being hard to work w. Nobody in the industry likes her and she did this too herself by constantly biting the hand that fed her…
@@josephschmizzo1595 stop projecting your own miserable life onto others. Her and The Aunties production are thriving, not to mention the outstanding performance in her newest film. Bffr.
😳 A HUGE MISS from this documentary was her beef with Rihanna! That closed a lot of doors in the industry and with some fans, which caused her work to underperformed. She was sabotaged and we need to acknowledge that.
Absolutely, her aligning with CB calling him her brother etc didn't help either. She had an incredible shoe line and sponsorships but got dropped swiftly.
Rihanna is super overrated, I cannot for the life of me understand why people laud her so much. Hasn't dropped a record in a decade and people still check for her? Nah 😒
She is definitely a beautiful ball of versatile talent 👏. In spite of Pharrell & Kanye busy schedules, they should have given her career the attention she deserves to take place properly to blow up. No matter how talented the individual is, if they don't have the right proper representation as well, it will not succeed properly to the highest it should go. It's really too bad that both producers didn't do their due diligence in helping to produce her correctly. She really should have already had her big full opportunity to blow up & be totally successful as she has worked so hard to achieve. This versatile, talented woman really deserves & and needs to be presented with her flowers. Seriously!!! Hang in there, lady, it's coming!!😊
They did…Kanye is the only reason shes relevant lol. Shes a spoiled brat that badmouthed everyone that helped her and gave her a platform. She ruined her own career because shes a horrible, spoiled, entitled person.
That was deep when Teyana said God told her this was all preparation for something greater. I think the acting world will give Teyana the success she truly deserves
She doesn’t “deserve” anything…shes a spoiled brat thats already had everything handed to her on a silver platter. Nobody in the industry wants to work w her because shes not a good person.
Pharrell and Kanye really limited her success. She could have been HUGE as an artist. She deserves the heights that Rihanna reached in music. The music industry seriously is so horrible behind the scenes.
Teyana Taylor is what you call an All-Around Entertainer. She can sing, she can choreograph, she can write, she can produce, she can direct, she can act, etc... She is a future EGOT winner mark my words. There are GREAT successes to come her way. Yeah, her time is NOW!!!!! 💯 Let's give Teyana her roses 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Forreal! She has the talent and mobility easy. Reminds me of Jhud, not getting the support she needed from American Idol and still being end up being their only EGOT
If you were to die today, are you a 100% sure you will go to heaven? If no, here is what the bible says, (1) Romans 3:23 KJV [23] For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Q1. Do you know what Sin is? Sin is anything bad that we have done. Q2. Have you sinned before? Yes or No? (2) Revelation 21:8 KJV [8] But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Because we have sinned, and God does not allow Sin into Heaven, the punishment is burning hell. What is the way to reconcile our peace and relationship with God? Q3. Do you know the Story of Jesus? (3) Romans 5:8 KJV [8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Jesus = God who lived up in Heaven, but he came down on earth and became a man like us, he lived for 33.5 years without committing any sin. Then there were certain people who were jealous and therefore framed him on phony charges, and crucified him. Then he was buried and resurrected on the third day; Now he lives in HEAVEN. Q4. Do you know why Jesus went through all this bloody mess for us? A4. As mentioned, our sin is the reason why we can’t go to heaven, and the only thing that can wash away our sin is the Blood of Jesus.

(6) 2 Corinthians 7:10 KJV [10] For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. In order to get saved, repentance of one’s sin is needed to get saved, we need to be sorry, and repent, with conviction, that we are a wretched sinner. (7) Romans 10:9 KJV [9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Maybe the music industry just wasn’t the plan for her or it’s not her time to shine yet in the music industry. It could potentially be that modeling, acting, and choreography is her gift that she needs to tap into. It’s a matter of Teyana doing some soul searching to find out what’s her next move. Either way I’m here for it all.
The truth of the matter is that we are so focused on monetizing our gifts we place value on them by how much attention or response we get from others. Create, put it out, and let those it speaks to hear. We live in an age where you don’t have to go through a major label to put music out. Don’t let anybody keep you from expressing your creativity because of the industry game.
YES. It kinda drives me crazy when people with talent only care about being a mega superstar instead of enjoying their gifts and sharing it joyously with anyone who connects with their art. I really don’t understand why anyone would even want to be famous and to have obsessed strangers feeling some kind of ownership over their lives.

@@amomentwithlorenzo1273 Artist signing artist don't always work well especially when you get signed to an active artist cause they gonna be more focus on making sure their good before their own so because of that they won't be able to give the much needed focus their own artist need.
@@amomentwithlorenzo1273 where is her promotion? Why do people have to look for information on Chloe and what she's doing instead of it being put in front of us. That's how promotion works.
@@saphyrentg3223 that was on Chloe, when both Halle and Chloe, the proper, goody two shoes types came out. They had their own distinct sound and fan base that first gravitated towards them. But Chloe wanted to do a 180 be more provocative, make toxic music for the toxic crowd. But her initial fanbase didn’t mess her new sound and the toxic crowd know she really not about that life and can sense the fake pandering of toxicity so they not messing with her music. Evidently her low album sales are on her about how she marketed herself. Lol it’s so much Beyoncé can do with that
I'm a little sad she decided not to do music anymore. She has an INCREDIBLE voice. She is one of those singers where even if I don't like the song, I'll play it just to hear the musician's vocals. I've enjoyed her in everything she's ever done, from music, reality TV, movies, and dancing - she has the talent and personality of a star! She is one of those artists that absolutely deserves to be hyped, but for whatever reason, doesn't get the push that these other mediocre artists receive. The industry makes no sense in this regard.
Always remember youre creativity does not i repeat does not end by music alone the energy continues even though you may not persue the goal yo wanted even though really a master of youre own craft the creativity can always be directd at anothr skill you posses.
This woman has undeniable beauty, her talent is unmatched they see what she’s capable of. In this industry if you’re this talented and know your worth they see you as a treat
I believe Teyana Taylor will become a Leader in the Industry, creating a Safe Space for Artists who vibrate within her Realm. That Woman has been a Super Star since day #1. She always makes it happen for herself. She has learned how to Shine on Stage but also learned how the Industry can work for and against an Artist. Its not fair, but she got this! She is becoming the for herself what she always needed. Teyana ONLY produces Quality Talent whether she is acting, singing, or dancing. She cant be held back! Everyone who had a chance to truly invest into her the right way and failed, shame on them.
Teyana is phenomenal! I absolutely love her for some many reasons reasons. Her talent, her beauty, her humbleness, her black family, her being natural, being checked in on black issues, her spirituality- she is just a lovely woman. You never really KNOW a celebrity but she seems like an awesome person. And if she is the kind of spiritual and genuine person she seems to be, she playing in the devils house in hollyweird so maybe this is a good thing and God is protecting her. 🥰
she was DEFINITELY mishandled! her talent is so obvious. i think her voicing her frustrations are valid. also i love how appreciative she is because if it was for her experiences she would not be where she is today
I disagree she’s very talented but her music just never captured the massses. She could have been marketed to death 💀 don’t think she would have been a big act.
@@bunchielove6893 same here she got some dope joints but I never was like dam she’s going to be a global star. As far as music she may do some damage with acting.
Y'all need to realize that the industry is evil and you dont get up there without selling your soul!!! Y'all also need to stop putting these people on the pedestal! They do some very questionnable and immortal things to get where they are. Once you sign that contract your life is over! That contrat is a death contract!
In my previous life they got me and the only way that I could escape was death. I almost made the same mistake in this life but fortunately my music sucks this time around so no one would sign me. At first I was devastated but not I realized that the rejection was for my protection. All that glitters isn’t gold.
Teyana Taylor is such an underrated artist. Multiple times she has given up on music because she didn’t feel supported or protected…sadly that’s the story of many young, black artists.
I believe she was sabotaged for obvious reasons. There are some people high up in this industry who only believes there is room for only ONE person. And we know who that female is.
Teyana music always flops commercially , people just don't buy or stream it. There are less famous artists that do waaay better numbers than her. Google me flopped at the time. Why would the label put up millions to do the album when the singles flopped.
I always said that Teyana is so painfully underrated. She's so sweet, amazingly talented, hardworking, beautiful, and so well-spoken... I just want things to work out for her so badly because she really deserves it.
I love to see this young lady WIN.... She's phenomenal! Whatever she does from here on out much respect! From Google Me Baby to winning the Masked Singer two seasons ago to now! 💐
That Ring the Alarm performance on MTV was Beyoncé's best performance in my opinion.. I remember watching that live, I went nuts, especially because of the choreography. By far, my favorite Beyoncé performance. Hats off to Teyana!
Not Beyoncé's best performance by a long shot when Beychella, both Halftime shows, Deja Vu at the BET awards, Run The World at the 2011 bilboard award, Stevie Wonder tribute, Lemonade medley at the vmas exist IMO. However I looooove that performance and the dance breakdown with the Micheal Jackson inspired arm moves from the Dangerous routine and ofc the trench coat, resonant belts, stage presence and the spy intro coming off the roof
@@urielsmith3248 Beyoncé has too many great performances from different stages of her career to chose from lol. So, ranking is kind of hard tbh. I forgot about the Run The World performance at the billboard awards too. But Beychella was like a career finest moment that is probably gonna outlive her for generations to come
I was in that performance… we rehearsed for a week at the Alvin Ailey studio , Teyana was in rehearsal but she didn’t choreograph the VMA performance. Danielle and Todd Sams did with Frank Gatson …
Wish they gave her a chance? She choreographed a Beyoncé video before she could vote and worked in multiple movies. She has modeled and made multiple albums. She gets plenty of chances.
The girl is flawless! Nobody can touch her, nobody!. Her style, hey energy, her look, her voice, her dancing, her acting, her grind. Do I need to say more. I never saw her on to many things but I always knew her name. GOD is telling her no because HE knows they she will catch like wild fire and HE is trying to protect her. Super big fan of Tay Tay!!
She is BEYOND talented on so many levels. I love her honesty and vulnerability. She is amazing and I hope that she receives the fulfillment she deserves.
Teyana is a whole package!! She does it all… Dancing, singing, acting, modeling, producing and so on she works her butt off she deserves her props!!!!!
Teyana is an amazing artist! She definitely worked her butt off and deserves all of the accolades! She deserves an Oscar Award for her performance in A Thousand and One! ❤
Lil Wayne really deserves props for what he did with Drake and Nikki! It’s hard to do what he did! And what’s sad is that bird man took most of the profit because he was also taken advantage at a young age in the industry. Very sad. The thing about Teyana, I remember when she was getting some clout as a teenager but she just wasn’t polished and had a rough attitude that she refused to change. Like a badass teenage daughter type energy. She was talented but very rough image wise. She’s smoothed out the rough edges now and that’s why it’s her time. I think a lot of artist feel like they are going to blow up for just being special. But it’s not that, it’s actually creating a carefully crafted image. A lot of what fans will love about you, will not be the real you .
That rough image seems to work for alot of other women though..especially if we can see some skin. And teyanas body bodies EVERYONES famous body..soooo...
Once she is released from DefJam, she needs to go independent. She knows the ins and outs of many aspects of the music industry, she could do it successfully.
I pray her light shines brighter than everrr! She’s a beautiful talented woman who deserves to be noticed and nominated more! It’s unfortunate that things happened the way they did but guess what she kept working for years and I’m proud of her that she stood up for herself! I love her and her voice is amazing ❤
I HATE that Teyana's career didn't and hasn't taken off the ways it was supposed to! She's entirely too talented, beautiful and marketable for everyone to drop the ball on her in this way. I'm praying that her acting career soars because she really deserves that.
The problem was everyone else huh? 😂 Bro the issue is HER…shes a horrible person thats known in the industry as a bad person to work w. Nobody wants to work w her because shes spoiled, entitled and doesn’t wna put the work in.
Teyana Taylor is the perfect example of "its never enough" ..so many talented and beautiful black women (esp dark skinned) have to be great at EVERYTHING and still do not get the support and accolades they deserve. People use her as a muse but maybe they feel threatened by her beauty and natural ability, its like they want her drip but didn't ever uplift her. One things for sure Teyana is tenacious, I have been looking up to her since MTV sweet 16 days, I thought she was the coolest and had so much style. I hope she feels loved and appreciated bcuz the culture definitely appreciates you Teyana
Why does she deserve stardom? Maybe just maybe, most people don't like her music and she chose the wrong career. She needs therapy, I mean come on retirement from what career.
I remember watching her on My Super Sweet 16 years ago. You could tell even then she was going to be a star. They dropped the ball on her musically and I hate that for her and her fans. I can’t wait to see her new movie and I know whatever direction she goes in she is going to kill it!
I think it came down to how she looked. I remember 10-13 yrs ago so many comments on blogs like Bossip and Mediatakeout calling her ugly, talking about her nose, comparing her to animals. I couldn’t believe it cause she is gorgeous, always was, and you can tell she has since gotten a nose job. Even in real life men call her ugly, why cause she not Beyonce or Rih or Ice Spice color? I fully believe her career never advanced cause she wasn’t light skin or biracial.
When she broke down not just once and said the music industry was demonic and how she should have been protected. This woman has so many talents. I loved how she said when God is ready for you to move you will. Her time is coming, and we haven't seen the best of her yet.
But why would people who buy in protect her from what they bought into? Kanye can try all day to redeem himself but he already made that pact and can’t go back.
I see her as a successful artist. I understand theres tiers and levels an entertainer wants to reach, but that shouldnt take away from the fact that she has accomplished alot and shes a household name celeb for many ppl. She actually may have dodged a bullet not getting big on the music side. I think if she does that Dion movie role she'll be stamped as an Icon fr. Much love to Tiana. ❤❤
Her albums especially 7 was sooo underrated. I been on her since sweet 16…her vibe and energy captured me. I love her and I always wondered why she wasn’t major because she is sooo vastly talented. However she understand that she didn’t completely miss out… she still made something out of the little others gave her. She will always have our support
Teyana Taylor is one of my favourite artists. She is a multitalented, multifaceted individual and she deserved so much more! She could’ve been a worldwide superstar because she has what it takes.
I remember watching the Fade performance and knowing it wasn't about her, which was disappointing. She deserves it for real. I loved VII. And love Teyanna.
I'm getting tired of these music artist looking to blame someone for there failures it's getting boring now, all these music artist have been short changed or ripped off some where in there career that's the nature of the corrupt music business Teynna Taylor was just unsuccessful move on. That's the gamble of life everyone goes through it. She's starting to sound like a broken record.
Exactly. Prime example being Pusha T, screwed over by 2 labels yet stayed on his grind and look at him now. Too many artists are just soft and lazy and think everything should be handed to them.
At least she still has a soul. The level of fame she wanted comes at price. She’s an amazing talent. I’ve always loved her. But God knew it wasn’t worth losing her.
Teyanna is blessed more than she knows! Beauty, gorgeous family, a great career, & adoring fans!! Her pinnacle moment will come in acting! Keep going 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Y’all all say y’all love Teyona but why y’all didn’t buy her record then ? The so called love not matching the streams and album 💿 sales . Sounds like fake love to me . Teyona is such an underrated artist I wish her career would have went further then it did .
She was so good in the movie Thousand And One. She's a good actress, singer, and dancer...she can do it all. I love her work and was sad when she said she was retiring. I hope she continues acting if the music industry won't support her. She would be great as Dionne Warwick.
I just wondering would her career be any different if she didn't signed to Pharrell and went with Beyonce instead, because she has the whole package that's for sure! Im just sad that her career and all her work didn't take her where she needed to go. But Teyana Taylor is a force to be reckoned with and she can act her ass off that's for sure. I'm really proud of her and everything she accomplished and still going strong❤
Teyana is AMAZING. I've been a fan since her My Super Sweet 16! I absolutely love her, she's mega talented, beautiful, honest and outspoken! Hang in there momma, wutz urs can't be taken away!
99.9% of all artists arent protected by those who sign them. Teyana Taylor is talented very multi-skilled but she has to remember if it isnt in the contract then they aren't obligated to protect her. In theory it would be nice for Black artists to be protected especially if Black women are signed by Black artists
And to take it a step further, where was her mom, trusted family member or friend to watch/travel, look out for her? Pharrell and Kanye are in the business of making money. Would it have been nice they looked out for her, yes. But if her family was available, they should have looked out for her.
You are absolutely right, sadly this is the show business. BUSINESS comes before show because if the business ain't right you can't put on a high quality show. I agree black artist should be protected by other black artists they sign too but like the old saying goes not all skin folks is in folks and I wish more black artist would understand. When you sign a contract with someone, they are not your friend, homegirl, home skillet biscuit, cuz, fam, brobro, or home. They are your boss and you are their employee until the contract is over. The same rules apply for any job, sadly in this world, the only ones in this world that are going to protect your check is yourself. Learn from the countless stories of Lil Wayne and xscape and so on. Just like working on wall street or working at Walmart. You can easily by replaced with somebody new if you are not doing and bringing in the money. You have to protect yourself at all cost in any business because no one else will.
I hope the same!! That would be so powerful if she won an Oscar. Because the music industry didn't appreciate her. Maybe acting will open more doors for her
You know how many talented actors and actresses don’t have Oscar’s and people still see what they are ??? Puh-lese the power is in us for real for real the more we support her the more real genuine love she gets
They say people’s rejection is Gods protection. I believe the reason Teyana never popped like she should have is b/c she wasn’t willing to do the sacrifices and rituals necessary for you to pop in the industry. People think it’s purely based off talent and skill, but unfortunately it’s not that way. Many evil and satanic things go on behind closed doors. That’s why some of the most talentless ppl usually seem to surface out of nowhere cause they’re willing to do WHATEVER to get to the top. There was actually an interview I was watching a couple days ago of this rapper called Smart (on the Math Hoffa channel). I guess he was an up and coming rapper in the 2010’s and he was mad talented. But he said the reason he never got famous and the success that he should have was b/c he wasn’t willing to “sell his soul” and compromise on his morals. Which practically meant taking it up the butt. Literally. It’s called the sodomy ritual. He said that practically every super famous artist, esp those at the tippy top have done it. And this goes back into the early 00’s and prob even way before. Raz-B from B2k literally wrote a whole tell all book detailing how his own manager would prohibit them from having any girlfriends b/c he was secretly r*ping them and m*lesting them behind closed doors. And this is more common in this industry than people are willing to admit. I mean even Elijah Wood (the actor from Lord of the Rings) said there was a pedophilia problem in Hollywood. And then when you think about Epsteins flight logs and how all those celebs were on it and now how everything is hush hush and it’s not even mentioned anymore. It’s literally right in our face. You can go to The Masters Voice Prophecy Blog channel to check all of this out. The specific video is titled “The Sodomy Ritual”. There’s also a Beyoncé prophecy on there. Beyoncé is not who many people think she is, but the cognitive dissonance never allows them to see it. But I’ll just leave it at that. From what I got from this video, Teyana believes in God. She believes in Jesus. In order to really pop in the industry you have to forsake those beliefs and morals. There’s no way around it.
PROTECT THIS WOMAN AT ALL COSTS!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Teyana is from Harlem,& she’s a fellow New Yorker 🗽 ❤ She’s so immensely talented & I don’t think she gets all the flowers she deserves!! I sincerely hope she gets nominated & wins an Oscar because she definitely deserves it. When the conversation of multi-talented female performers comes up,it’s always all about Bey,but that needs to change! Tey needs to be in that conversation as well Byroooooooooooooooon (if you know you know lol). Plus her body is craaazyyyyyy 🥵 SN: don’t even get me started on Phalesha or whatever his name is..y’all see how he did Kelis…. ☕️☕️☕️
If you were to die today, are you a 100% sure you will go to heaven? If no, here is what the bible says, (1) Romans 3:23 KJV [23] For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Q1. Do you know what Sin is? Sin is anything bad that we have done. Q2. Have you sinned before? Yes or No? (2) Revelation 21:8 KJV [8] But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Because we have sinned, and God does not allow Sin into Heaven, the punishment is burning hell. What is the way to reconcile our peace and relationship with God? Q3. Do you know the Story of Jesus? (3) Romans 5:8 KJV [8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Jesus = God who lived up in Heaven, but he came down on earth and became a man like us, he lived for 33.5 years without committing any sin. Then there were certain people who were jealous and therefore framed him on phony charges, and crucified him. Then he was buried and resurrected on the third day; Now he lives in HEAVEN. Q4. Do you know why Jesus went through all this bloody mess for us? A4. As mentioned, our sin is the reason why we can’t go to heaven, and the only thing that can wash away our sin is the Blood of Jesus. (4) Romans 5:9 KJV [9] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. According to the bible, the only way for us to reconcile with God is through Christ Jesus’s blood, and not through any works that we do or merits we accumulate, such as water baptism, attending church, or any good thing that we do. The following verses clearly support this. (5) Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV [8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. (6) 2 Corinthians 7:10 KJV [10] For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. In order to get saved, repentance of one’s sin is needed to get saved, we need to be sorry, and repent, with conviction, that we are a wretched sinner. (7) Romans 10:9 KJV [9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. If you truly do believe in everything you have heard in the gospel, ,I strongly suggest you to make a proclamation to GOD! You can say it to God in less than 15 seconds !Repeat after this simple prayer, to make sure you truly get saved. Remember repeating this prayer doesn't save you, it's you telling God you BELIEVE THE GOSPEL. Ok, here is the prayer : ‘Dear GOD, I know I am a sinner, as I repent, I put my faith, that Jesus is GOD, and that he died, buried and resurrected, so that his blood, can wash away my Sins. I put my faith in that alone to save me, not my good works. In Jesus’s holy name, I pray. Amen! Congratulations ! Now you are a child of God. Download /Buy a KJV bible (I highly suggest getting a hard copy bible , as one day, it will be illegal to buy, own or even have an online version of the bible) and search for youtube channel like REAL Bible Believers , Spencer Smith to help you grow , study dispensationalism to understand the bible ( How do we reconcile the verses in the New Testament that tell us that we need works to show our faith, and another that tells us that nothing that can take our salvation away? That's why we need to study biblical dispensationalism to rightly divide the word of God.( study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth, 2 Timothy 2:15) (I recommend the dispensationalism video from Genesis to Revelations by Dr. Gene Kim, ua-cam.com/video/GI4CteEFxOk/v-deo.html) , Jesus in Genesis (ua-cam.com/video/RmnUkNT55gU/v-deo.html) join a bible believing church. God bless you brother/ sister ☺. See you in heaven one day!
I don't think any artist should put faith in another artist to help them grow. At the end of the day, you're both competing in the same race. There's no way they will put you ahead of themselves.
If Lil Wayne can do it, it can be done. The problem is some artist don't support their own artist either for whatever reason especially if they only want to remain at the top solo dolo.
@@MsLadyAllure I hear you. Like Empressive said, situations like that are really rare. It's difficult to find an artist willing to give another the level of support Lil Wayne gave Drake, Nicki & Tyga. He was putting in a lot of work for YM because he'd been through a lot with Birdman and he genuinely wanted his artists to win. I can't say Drake has done the same with his OVO artists. Maybe Nicki will do something different with her label.
@@MsLadyAllure Lil Wayne didn’t do it on his own,You’re forgetting about Birdman and lets not forget Nicki Minaj was hot before she signed a Deal and I cant speak about Drake but Teyana dropped and Album and it didn’t sell well
She’s so multitalented. I think she should be the leader behind Chloe and/or Normani’s next moves. They could actually really use her artistic vision and ear to take things to the next level. Behind the scenes may be her avenue. And it’s a bigger bag a lot of times anyways. Visionary could be her ultimate role. She can be the one to take young Black women artists on, build and protect them ❤.
Teyana can be indie and will STILL be successful. She knows how to get it out the mud. Her grind is crazy. No matter what she gets into…she’ll be successful! I truly believe that everything has happened to her to protect her from the evils of the industry. She doesn’t need the machine, she is the machine. ❤
@@Justcanary8888 shes not gna go independent because then if she fails, she’ll have no male scapegoat to place the blame on 😂 Think about the fact that she was always rich and her dad spent a million dollars on her 16th bday party which was filmed and broadcasted on MTV. How was there ever anyone to blame? She had enough money to fund her music career in its entirety AS A CHILD…😂
I think teyanna Taylor career issues is due to colorism her career reminds me of Normani career very talent bt because of the color of their skin they will always be left at the way side its jus sad
Their situation are different imo. Teyana has wayy more hunger than Normani and was really trying it and she is still working her butt off no matter what similar to a Tinashe despite all her issues with RCA whose situation mirrors Normani way more tbh. Normani is more like a socialite but the fans want it more than she does clearly
She is so underrated. To be this gifted and talented and no one taking this potential where it needs to go is sad. I pray God opens doors for her because she deserves it. Much grace to you Teyana!! ❤❤
Pharrell did kelis all kinda bad. I'm not in the industry and I know that, I'm not crying for none of them. Girl is talented but they keep her on the shelf .
I loved her even when everyone was always asking what she did and who she was. Her journey has been great honestly, she’s had longevity without major major hits or super gimmicks. Proud of her for always pivoting and staying herself ❤❤❤
i am proud to say that i'm still listening to her album VII because it was amazing. im sad she never truly made something for herself and got lost in the industry
I don't care what anybody says. Those BM producers did not push her music because she didn't have the aesthetic that BM in the industry prefer/ insist on. If she lighter in complexion/racially ambiguous/big boobed & bootied/overtly sexual, those ninjas would have made her more of a priority. I said what I said. Don't @ me to deny misogynoir in that wicked industry. Look at what they did to Lil Kim's self esteem. ...
One of the most talented women in the music industry ! Sad to see how she feels she wasn’t protected also man . SoOo dope she has been so influential in so many careers that I can see . Even with out the music peak she deserved and deserves I think she is gonna disrupt through the film industry in the next 5 years tho - she has VISION!
Talent always speaks for itself. If she was not talented, she would not have survived for so long. I'm glad she doesnt have stories of being preyed upon as a child. Good things will come to her ❤
I wouldn’t be surprised if she was. She said she wasn’t protected. I honestly believe all of them are subjected to abuse. And they all have strong ties to the industry. Most of them are related. So, her mom being well known means nothing. This woman is incredibly and remarkably talented. Oftentimes, those are the ones targeted the most.
Beyoncé’s ring the alarm choreo is insane! Had no idea TT was the choreographer!
❤️❤️🎯💯‼️
And TT did at at such a young age 😮 she’s amazing ❤
Me either! Had to go watch the video again! Lol
One of the best choreographies ever
I had no idea either !
My teenage self loved that choreography so much
Same!!! And it was one of Beyonce's hardest and most memorable videos.
Teyana is literally everything any record label would want wrapped up in one package with a bow on top. The fact that so many people, the industry, fumbled her so hard is crazy smh
Why do ya'll have this mentality that the industry can force the public to like an artist. 99% of the artist that label sign fail. The Beyonce, Mary J Blige, etc are anomalies. Most artist don't pop off.
@@ocampbell1954 The public already liked her as a person. Her Sweet16 episode was popular af, people were listening to Google Me, her UA-cam choreography videos had buzz, her version of Marvin’s Room was well liked, the list can go on and on. All that WITHOUT an album. When it comes to artist development, she would have needed less than someone without any buzz.
@@nik-at-nite LOL at this. Social media popularity does not equate to album sales. How many fans does Selena Gomez have yet she can't sell albums to save her life. Instagram, Twitter, UA-cam, etc have ya'll thinking that's real life. Half them followers are bots.
@@ocampbell1954 I’m aware. There are other factors like timing, which Teyana stated in her interview. Again, it’s STILL a fumble. She can still sing, dance, write, act, she’s in the right rooms and knows how to network, is marketable, etc. Are those not all things an artist needs to be (aside from acting)?
@@ocampbell1954 Thank u... Been freaking with the music shit as long as I've been in a gang... 25 years. U are correct. The fans don't support these artists, and we watch the blame get shifted everywhere else.
She is exactly where she NEEDS to be. Dance, acting, and directing.......
According to her birth chart, you are absolutely right Z Monique💯
I mean, look at how Pharrell treated Kelis AND how he back flipped after he lost the "blurred lines" lawsuit. He seems like the type that would promise you the world while keeping his fingers crossed behind his back 🙄
He just like trophies around selfish type
Thisss ! 🤞🏽
Yeah, his track record with dealing with his artists is VERY problematic, 🤔… Teyana music career could’ve flourish on an even higher level like Beyoncé’s…
🐍
It's sad. Most of the time when an artist signs to an artist, something go wrong.
She can sing, she can dance, she has an amazing attitude and work ethic, her image is so diverse, she can model, write her own songs and make her own choreographies, the industry loves her and she gets along with so many people. The woman was born a star. I admire her a lot.
I never forgot her name from my sweet 16, I was about three years younger then her and I looked up to her because she was herself the whole time. She had the most creative sweet 16 in my opinion. Shorty had me out here asking for a 5,000 bike😂
Don't forget act ...BYYRROOOONNNNN
I feel the same way about Li'l Mama. She is very talented and has been overlooked by the industry. They didn't even want to give her a nomination for her role as Left Eye and she killed it.
@@Ayommari they (jay-z) blacked balled her from that one incident she had. not like she was overlooked she was literally shut down by jay.
@@DonPeppinoowhat incident?
Teyana needs to start her own label/company etc. Maybe the reason why no one else is able to give her what she deserves because she's TOO GOOD. She's TOO amazing! She's one of the g.o.a.ts in my eyes. She can do it on her own.
True! She's too good for her own good. I never thought that could be a real thing.
Problem is her old competitors would sabotage it. She's not that influential in the industry. Someone like Beyonce can have her artists songs played as many times as she wants.
But Teyana, she doesn't have that kind of push. People would rather play a song that's trashy but it's been paid for than a good song that's from a talented person that can't pay for airplay.
You're 💯. With her talent who knows what she could do. Rap music wouldn't be if it wasn't for singer Sylvia Robinson hitting it on her own and she started her second record label by the time the Sugar Hill gang hit.
This woman is so talented. As passionate as she’s been about her music, it’s unfortunate it didn’t take off as deserved. But this may be a case of ‘everything happens for a reason’. Her path may be a different direction, and she’ll get her flowers.
I think she’s gonna have a amazing career as a actress
But seriously thou I cant say everyone knows but id say if anyone enters the music business remember everyone aint your friend some people tryna save they own arse and not yours sadly the industry so coloful and tainted in a bad way anybody with good bones to enter may not even get no where unless they do as people please if you get what i mean sadly teyana feel sad for her she remind me of two ladies who can sing they behinds off that cross the path of some people in this video and even thou they went up one is kinda on pause the other doing movies id say to anybody going into the industry again watch who u work with and watch your back
Unfortunately, bit to most people or she would be a flop. These women need therapy and BW need to stop blaming BW for there failures
she’s top tier when it comes to choreography, fashion and creative direction 🌟
So well stated and I totally agree. Peace!!
Teyana is criminally underrated. I saw her dance with the Jabbawockeez, and then I heard her song “Gonna Love Me”. How tf is she not getting the same praise as Sza or Lizzo? She’s super talented, gorgeous, and a great mother. Blows my mind.
Exactly, my guess there is stuff she's not willing to do if you get my drift These executives want to control so they can brake you and mould you i don't think she's willing and that's a good thing. She just don't see it yet.
Gonna love me, made by kanye who she shifted on before the album came out
That's why
@@tatucorreia lies she been sold
Than why Didn't she do it al by her Self?
Gonna Love Me is so fire!!!
This proves that you can be soooo talented that the industry wouldn’t even know what to do with you, it’s like it’s cool and easy when a person is one thing , but when your multi talented!, they freeze 🥶
She is to much for them.
If shes so talented then why didnt she go independent? 😂
U do realize that shes the issue right? Lmaoo
What is “The Industry” ? I find it so funny when ppl throw that phrase around 😂🤣😂 if she knew how to build leverage w her brand, she’d have leverage. She doesn’t have leverage because her branding is horrible, her timing is horrible, her perspective is horrible, her attitude is horrible, ive watched her very closely for over 10yrs (i wrk in music, ive consulted for artists at labels.)
Shes the problem, and everyone around her knows this which is why NOBODY wants to work w her.
I can relate.
The industry wants dumb empty shells. Someone educated and informed would know too much... That to them is a big no. It's a wonder they like getting desperate artists that came from nothing, feed them false hopes, splash them with money. By the time the artist realizes the contract was off, it's too late.
@@laurenkhate2001 Xactly
She won Masked singer and she did absolutely amazing. This woman is EXTREMELY talented!
Really…what season
@@KnowledgeSeeker78491 Season 7 she was Firefly
If she were light skinned, sadly, none of this would be an issue.
I think that she did the right thing by retiring from music and pursuing her other talents.
I agree cause she is waay to talented to be overlooked like that. It seems like now she atleast gets her flowers acting wise.
I agree
I want them to release her from the contract
She’s not retired from music hun, she’s not releasing any, whilst she’s still signed to those ppl. She’s going to release more music just as a new Independent artists, like Ciara. And I support her decision there.
@@lydiak2219 "overlooked"... Only the fans can create a star. They have never dubbed Taylor... Labels, and "names" aren't responsible for that part. The fans don't buy her albums... If they did; none of these situations would come to light become Taylor would be a popping name
I really resonate with Teyana's story and circumstances. Sometimes when you have so many aspects and facets people literally don't know what to do with you because they're so used to dealing with one trick ponies. The world looks down on the jack of all trades for some reason. I hope she gets everything life has to offer her and she never gives up on herself or her creative dreams. She is an amazing creative not just an artist. I'm going to go tap into this interview now.
Both Pharrell and Kanye are “Jack of all trade” types. They should’ve known.
Must’ve been some incentive for these artists to find other artists… then when they did and got their initial cut… they fumbled the ball. Unfortunate.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯 everything you said, society finds more entertainment value in mediocrity, then having actual talent and being multifaceted
@@ms.hjohnson6820 I definitely agree and they both are, but with them both doing the clothing lines and music they didn’t give her the same shine to flex herself. The multifaceted can multitask but only to a certain degree because you have soooo many aspects and ideas running through your head you have to often put at least one thing on the back burner. With that in mind, I would have never signed her because she doesn’t deserve to be on the back burner. From Teyana’s perspective I deal with people wanting to capture my light even though they don’t really know what to do with it - just to say they have it. It’s like being a butterfly or a firefly and they’re trying to figure out how you light up so they take you, but when you’re in bondage you can’t do what you were meant to which is be the light! I think both Pharrell and Kanye were selfish in their picking Teyana but T couldn’t tell because she was so damn young. I was more so referring to just the general public, why is she still underground after all she’s done? She’s proven herself time and time and TIME again to no avail. And it’s not because she’s not the shit, she’s just so complex and special she literally goes over people’s heads. I feel the same exact way and I’m “tired of hearing I can’t wait till you blow!” ❤️🩹
@@SugaRumBrown girl, this interview had me crying bc she is me. It’s so frustrating putting your all into your art while others get off with minimal effort. I will be watching it again because her resilience is amazing. I pray she get her just dues and I get mine.
I feel like she's too big for the music industry. She can do SO much more with her energy and uniqueness. She choreographs, does movies, and probably can produce and direct.
Also if she has to do music I can see her as a rapper/singer (kinda like what Drake is known for lol)
I've been watching her since she came out. She's from my hometown and I wish her much more success.
She handled this with style, grace and humility all while telling her truth. I love her for that.
I kinda feel like she's been humbled though
So true! She didn’t talk bad and just told facts. But Pharrell really did hurt her! She almost cried. I think it’s because her complexion and self worth doesn’t fit their idea of beauty. She’s gorgeous and could be as big as Beyoncé and Janet Jackson. She has the same talents.
“Her truth” stfu fam.
I dunno. He has other artists. He’s not your dad. I think she expected too much. 😕
Nicki Minaj and Drake worked well under Lil Wayne because Wayne was humble and secure in who he was that he pushed Nicki and Drake to be just like him. He really invested in them and was able to see a return in his investments. Wayne other artists on young money weren't as lucky.
CAP.... Wayne was high and out of commission half the time, and it is public knowledge that they signed fucked up deals, because wayne himself had a fucked up deal... Nicki and Drake worked well because the WHOLE Young Money/ Cash money was ALREADY working well thanks to Baby and slim and the talents of BG and mannie in the beginning, they just continued what was already in motion. had NOTHING to do with wayne. It was their talent and the machine behind them.
@@kingsweattv2465 Young Money/Cash Money had continued relevance because of LIL WAYNE and the fact he was frankly the best rapper in the game for years. Drake and Nicki had the talent, but him essentially co-signing on them and doing all those features with them definitely helped.

I would LOVE a Teyana Taylor and Normani collab. The dancing alone would be INSANE
Listen.
Nope, she would out dance normani.
No Normani is lazy and more interested in being an IG model
Normani doesn't have the hunger. Y'all need to give up. You can't be a fan of someone who doesn't want it. Y'all want this music career more than she does
With sevyn!
I hear the hurt in her voice and I pray for her healing . Glad she spoke up to Pharrell cause she should’ve been protected
She did a phenomenal job on her new movie, “Thousand and One” this girl is everything ❤❤❤❤

@@imaraoctavia her character was so lovable. I miss old school friends like that. Seems I’m one of the last of the dying breed but I see me becoming more and more introverted in the land of the scandalous 🤷🏾♀️😢😩😆❤️
🙂 she did an awesome job as well...I enjoyed the movie and felt TT did a great job especially it being her break out role.
The sentiment of that movie was excellent. However, the storyline did not make much sense and teyanas plastic surgeries has taken away from her authenticity and was quite distracting. Lesson from her is to love yourself as you are and stop counting on external forces and people to make you shine and showcase your greatness!
I'm not shocked at all. I mean the way Pharrell treated Kelis already tells me alot about how he treats artists.
He had several of artist that did not make it
She is bigger than the help she sought. She is an amazing talent!
She's absolutely STUNNING!!! My heart breaks for her! The fact that so many of "our" people were saying about her was sickening & pathetic! It's always "our" people who tear each other down! She's still successful, & I'm proud of her! She reminds me of a young Janet Jackson!

She looks nothing like Janet! And stop saying "our" people because we have the same skin color; sounds ridiculous 🤦🏾♂️

Yeah she's dope...
Broken Hearted Girl by Teyana and Fabulous is my cut. Just Different too.
I’m so glad to see this. Teyana deserves so much more. I’ve been a true fan since VII, and I literally told her to her face during the The Album tour that we can’t have her retire bc her fans couldn’t care less about the bs. Her music is everything to us

Really, I wasn’t aware. What a shame how those beefs caused us to miss out on many talented songs and people. Like Mya, Tamia, and more
Absolutely, her aligning with CB calling him her brother etc didn't help either. She had an incredible shoe line and sponsorships but got dropped swiftly.

She is definitely a beautiful ball of versatile talent 👏. In spite of Pharrell & Kanye busy schedules, they should have given her career the attention she deserves to take place properly to blow up. No matter how talented the individual is, if they don't have the right proper representation as well, it will not succeed properly to the highest it should go. It's really too bad that both producers didn't do their due diligence in helping to produce her correctly. She really should have already had her big full opportunity to blow up & be totally successful as she has worked so hard to achieve. This versatile, talented woman really deserves & and needs to be presented with her flowers. Seriously!!! Hang in there, lady, it's coming!!😊
They did…Kanye is the only reason shes relevant lol. Shes a spoiled brat that badmouthed everyone that helped her and gave her a platform. She ruined her own career because shes a horrible, spoiled, entitled person.
That was deep when Teyana said God told her this was all preparation for something greater. I think the acting world will give Teyana the success she truly deserves
Sometimes man's rejection is God's protection.
God not into selfish passive ignorant passions
God is not in none of this liar
She doesn’t “deserve” anything…shes a spoiled brat thats already had everything handed to her on a silver platter. Nobody in the industry wants to work w her because shes not a good person.
Teyana is so freaking talented. I hate when people sign artist only to hold them back.
People still going to sign to Major labels, She ain't worry about that ,She's move on and still do her thing.
Pharrell and Kanye really limited her success. She could have been HUGE as an artist. She deserves the heights that Rihanna reached in music. The music industry seriously is so horrible behind the scenes.
Rappers don’t know how to promote singers ie gunit and Olivia
Maybe her calling isn’t meant to be a artist but to do other things like acting, directing, and working behind the scenes.
Bingo
Spot on especially if she can write and also being an actress
Facts. We want want we want, but never asked the Lord what he wants from us..
Teyana Taylor is what you call an All-Around Entertainer. She can sing, she can choreograph, she can write, she can produce, she can direct, she can act, etc... She is a future EGOT winner mark my words. There are GREAT successes to come her way. Yeah, her time is NOW!!!!! 💯 Let's give Teyana her roses 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Forreal! She has the talent and mobility easy. Reminds me of Jhud, not getting the support she needed from American Idol and still being end up being their only EGOT

If you were to die today, are you a 100% sure you will go to heaven?
If no, here is what the bible says,
(1) Romans 3:23 KJV [23] For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
Q1. Do you know what Sin is?
Sin is anything bad that we have done.
Q2. Have you sinned before?
Yes or No?
(2) Revelation 21:8 KJV [8] But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Because we have sinned, and God does not allow Sin into Heaven, the punishment is burning hell.
What is the way to reconcile our peace and relationship with God?
Q3. Do you know the Story of Jesus?
(3) Romans 5:8 KJV [8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Jesus = God who lived up in Heaven, but he came down on earth and became a man like us, he lived for 33.5 years without committing any sin. Then there were certain people who were jealous and therefore framed him on phony charges, and crucified him. Then he was buried and resurrected on the third day; Now he lives in HEAVEN.
Q4. Do you know why Jesus went through all this bloody mess for us?
A4. As mentioned, our sin is the reason why we can’t go to heaven, and the only thing that can wash away our sin is the Blood of Jesus.
(4) Romans 5:9 KJV [9] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
According to the bible, the only way for us to reconcile with God is through Christ Jesus’s blood, and not through any works that we do or merits we accumulate, such as water baptism, attending church, or any good thing that we do. The following verses clearly support this.
(5) Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV [8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.
(6) 2 Corinthians 7:10 KJV [10] For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
In order to get saved, repentance of one’s sin is needed to get saved, we need to be sorry, and repent, with conviction, that we are a wretched sinner.
(7) Romans 10:9 KJV [9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
If you truly do believe in everything you have heard in the gospel, ,I strongly suggest you to make a proclamation to GOD! You can say it to God in less than 15 seconds !Repeat after this simple prayer, to make sure you truly get saved. Remember repeating this prayer doesn't save you, it's you telling God you BELIEVE THE GOSPEL. Ok, here is the prayer :
‘Dear GOD,
I know I am a sinner, as I repent, I put my faith, that Jesus is GOD, and that he died, buried and resurrected, so that his blood, can wash away my Sins. I put my faith in that alone to save me, not my good works. In Jesus’s holy name, I pray. Amen!

Maybe the music industry just wasn’t the plan for her or it’s not her time to shine yet in the music industry. It could potentially be that modeling, acting, and choreography is her gift that she needs to tap into. It’s a matter of Teyana doing some soul searching to find out what’s her next move. Either way I’m here for it all.
The truth of the matter is that we are so focused on monetizing our gifts we place value on them by how much attention or response we get from others. Create, put it out, and let those it speaks to hear. We live in an age where you don’t have to go through a major label to put music out. Don’t let anybody keep you from expressing your creativity because of the industry game.
This right here!
YES. It kinda drives me crazy when people with talent only care about being a mega superstar instead of enjoying their gifts and sharing it joyously with anyone who connects with their art. I really don’t understand why anyone would even want to be famous and to have obsessed strangers feeling some kind of ownership over their lives.

Why do people have to look for information on Chloe and what she's doing instead of it being put in front of us.
That's how promotion works.
@@saphyrentg3223 that was on Chloe, when both Halle and Chloe, the proper, goody two shoes types came out. They had their own distinct sound and fan base that first gravitated towards them. But Chloe wanted to do a 180 be more provocative, make toxic music for the toxic crowd. But her initial fanbase didn’t mess her new sound and the toxic crowd know she really not about that life and can sense the fake pandering of toxicity so they not messing with her music. Evidently her low album sales are on her about how she marketed herself. Lol it’s so much Beyoncé can do with that
I absolutely love and appreciate her as an artist I can’t stand that she just doesn’t get the recognition she deserves
I'm a little sad she decided not to do music anymore. She has an INCREDIBLE voice. She is one of those singers where even if I don't like the song, I'll play it just to hear the musician's vocals. I've enjoyed her in everything she's ever done, from music, reality TV, movies, and dancing - she has the talent and personality of a star! She is one of those artists that absolutely deserves to be hyped, but for whatever reason, doesn't get the push that these other mediocre artists receive. The industry makes no sense in this regard.
I hope she is just plotting a comeback as an independent artist
ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE! But they push out bull mess
Always remember youre creativity does not i repeat does not end by music alone the energy continues even though you may not persue the goal yo wanted even though really a master of youre own craft the creativity can always be directd at anothr skill you posses.
This woman has undeniable beauty, her talent is unmatched they see what she’s capable of. In this industry if you’re this talented and know your worth they see you as a treat
Teyana is a triple threat! She can sing, dance, act. She does the hard work to keep herself out in front. She's an impressive woman!
I believe Teyana Taylor will become a Leader in the Industry, creating a Safe Space for Artists who vibrate within her Realm. That Woman has been a Super Star since day #1. She always makes it happen for herself. She has learned how to Shine on Stage but also learned how the Industry can work for and against an Artist. Its not fair, but she got this! She is becoming the for herself what she always needed. Teyana ONLY produces Quality Talent whether she is acting, singing, or dancing. She cant be held back! Everyone who had a chance to truly invest into her the right way and failed, shame on them.
Teyana is phenomenal! I absolutely love her for some many reasons reasons. Her talent, her beauty, her humbleness, her black family, her being natural, being checked in on black issues, her spirituality- she is just a lovely woman. You never really KNOW a celebrity but she seems like an awesome person. And if she is the kind of spiritual and genuine person she seems to be, she playing in the devils house in hollyweird so maybe this is a good thing and God is protecting her. 🥰
This ! 👏🏿
I have seen Teyana perform live. She is the total package. I was highly impressed and immediately became a fan.
she was DEFINITELY mishandled! her talent is so obvious. i think her voicing her frustrations are valid. also i love how appreciative she is because if it was for her experiences she would not be where she is today
Sounds like she got mismanaged just like Olivia and the G-Unit situation.
I disagree she’s very talented but her music just never captured the massses. She could have been marketed to death 💀 don’t think she would have been a big act.
@JoshLamar I agree. I love but I didn't fall in love with her music. Some songs were dope but...
@@bunchielove6893 same here she got some dope joints but I never was like dam she’s going to be a global star. As far as music she may do some damage with acting.
Y'all need to realize that the industry is evil and you dont get up there without selling your soul!!! Y'all also need to stop putting these people on the pedestal! They do some very questionnable and immortal things to get where they are. Once you sign that contract your life is over! That contrat is a death contract!
In my previous life they got me and the only way that I could escape was death. I almost made the same mistake in this life but fortunately my music sucks this time around so no one would sign me. At first I was devastated but not I realized that the rejection was for my protection. All that glitters isn’t gold.
@@revekat2053 yes the proverbial closed door! I hope that you are life is fulfilled with happiness and peace
Teyana Taylor is such an underrated artist. Multiple times she has given up on music because she didn’t feel supported or protected…sadly
that’s the story of many young, black artists.
I believe she was sabotaged for obvious reasons. There are some people high up in this industry who only believes there is room for only ONE person. And we know who that female is.
Teyana music always flops commercially , people just don't buy or stream it. There are less famous artists that do waaay better numbers than her. Google me flopped at the time. Why would the label put up millions to do the album when the singles flopped.
I always said that Teyana is so painfully underrated. She's so sweet, amazingly talented, hardworking, beautiful, and so well-spoken... I just want things to work out for her so badly because she really deserves it.
I love to see this young lady WIN.... She's phenomenal! Whatever she does from here on out much respect! From Google Me Baby to winning the Masked Singer two seasons ago to now! 💐
That Ring the Alarm performance on MTV was Beyoncé's best performance in my opinion.. I remember watching that live, I went nuts, especially because of the choreography. By far, my favorite Beyoncé performance. Hats off to Teyana!
When she dropped to the floor with the 3 wheel motion I was like YASSS!! The song in itself is one of my favorites!
Not Beyoncé's best performance by a long shot when Beychella, both Halftime shows, Deja Vu at the BET awards, Run The World at the 2011 bilboard award, Stevie Wonder tribute, Lemonade medley at the vmas exist IMO. However I looooove that performance and the dance breakdown with the Micheal Jackson inspired arm moves from the Dangerous routine and ofc the trench coat, resonant belts, stage presence and the spy intro coming off the roof

I was in that performance… we rehearsed for a week at the Alvin Ailey studio , Teyana was in rehearsal but she didn’t choreograph the VMA performance. Danielle and Todd Sams did with Frank Gatson …
Teyanna Is Such A Gem Especially Here In NY. I Wish The World Really Gave Her A Chance. She’s A Jack Of All Trades ❤
Wish they gave her a chance? She choreographed a Beyoncé video before she could vote and worked in multiple movies. She has modeled and made multiple albums. She gets plenty of chances.
The girl is flawless! Nobody can touch her, nobody!. Her style, hey energy, her look, her voice, her dancing, her acting, her grind. Do I need to say more. I never saw her on to many things but I always knew her name. GOD is telling her no because HE knows they she will catch like wild fire and HE is trying to protect her. Super big fan of Tay Tay!!
She is BEYOND talented on so many levels. I love her honesty and vulnerability. She is amazing and I hope that she receives the fulfillment she deserves.
Teyana is a whole package!! She does it all… Dancing, singing, acting, modeling, producing and so on she works her butt off she deserves her props!!!!!
Teyana is an amazing artist! She definitely worked her butt off and deserves all of the accolades! She deserves an Oscar Award for her performance in A Thousand and One! ❤
Lil Wayne really deserves props for what he did with Drake and Nikki! It’s hard to do what he did! And what’s sad is that bird man took most of the profit because he was also taken advantage at a young age in the industry. Very sad.
The thing about Teyana, I remember when she was getting some clout as a teenager but she just wasn’t polished and had a rough attitude that she refused to change. Like a badass teenage daughter type energy. She was talented but very rough image wise. She’s smoothed out the rough edges now and that’s why it’s her time. I think a lot of artist feel like they are going to blow up for just being special. But it’s not that, it’s actually creating a carefully crafted image. A lot of what fans will love about you, will not be the real you .
I was just thinking this!!! Lil Wayne showed the world how to do it!!! Great marketing ❤❤
That rough image seems to work for alot of other women though..especially if we can see some skin. And teyanas body bodies EVERYONES famous body..soooo...
"A lot of what fans will love about you, will not be the real you." This is such an overlooked fact! Glad you pointed it out

The problem was everyone else huh? 😂
Bro the issue is HER…shes a horrible person thats known in the industry as a bad person to work w. Nobody wants to work w her because shes spoiled, entitled and doesn’t wna put the work in.
Teyana Taylor is the perfect example of "its never enough" ..so many talented and beautiful black women (esp dark skinned) have to be great at EVERYTHING and still do not get the support and accolades they deserve. People use her as a muse but maybe they feel threatened by her beauty and natural ability, its like they want her drip but didn't ever uplift her. One things for sure Teyana is tenacious, I have been looking up to her since MTV sweet 16 days, I thought she was the coolest and had so much style. I hope she feels loved and appreciated bcuz the culture definitely appreciates you Teyana
Even signing to Beyonce wouldn't have worked. I'm so sad that she didn't get the stardom she deserves.
Her star is rising though. Teyana is just getting started.
That is all this is about. She's disappointed in where her career is, when she has no reason to.
She has a great career trajectory.
Why does she deserve stardom? Maybe just maybe, most people don't like her music and she chose the wrong career. She needs therapy, I mean come on retirement from what career.

These people in the industry doesn't have your best interest they just use you.
Kelis been spoke on pharell ! Y’all wasn’t listening 🥱
I think it came down to how she looked. I remember 10-13 yrs ago so many comments on blogs like Bossip and Mediatakeout calling her ugly, talking about her nose, comparing her to animals. I couldn’t believe it cause she is gorgeous, always was, and you can tell she has since gotten a nose job. Even in real life men call her ugly, why cause she not Beyonce or Rih or Ice Spice color? I fully believe her career never advanced cause she wasn’t light skin or biracial.
When she broke down not just once and said the music industry was demonic and how she should have been protected. This woman has so many talents. I loved how she said when God is ready for you to move you will. Her time is coming, and we haven't seen the best of her yet.
Exactly. This recent movie she's in has gotten alot of accolades
But why would people who buy in protect her from what they bought into? Kanye can try all day to redeem himself but he already made that pact and can’t go back.
Teyana is talking about a different god.
Sorry nobody forced her to be in this business. Blame yourself
@@Rubrick23. Everyone has a different callin just be quiet
I see her as a successful artist. I understand theres tiers and levels an entertainer wants to reach, but that shouldnt take away from the fact that she has accomplished alot and shes a household name celeb for many ppl. She actually may have dodged a bullet not getting big on the music side. I think if she does that Dion movie role she'll be stamped as an Icon fr. Much love to Tiana. ❤❤
She looks just like Dionne too at a young age.
Her albums especially 7 was sooo underrated. I been on her since sweet 16…her vibe and energy captured me. I love her and I always wondered why she wasn’t major because she is sooo vastly talented. However she understand that she didn’t completely miss out… she still made something out of the little others gave her. She will always have our support
Teyana Taylor is one of my favourite artists. She is a multitalented, multifaceted individual and she deserved so much more! She could’ve been a worldwide superstar because she has what it takes.
I remember watching the Fade performance and knowing it wasn't about her, which was disappointing. She deserves it for real. I loved VII. And love Teyanna.
I'm getting tired of these music artist looking to blame someone for there failures it's getting boring now, all these music artist have been short changed or ripped off some where in there career that's the nature of the corrupt music business Teynna Taylor was just unsuccessful move on. That's the gamble of life everyone goes through it. She's starting to sound like a broken record.
Exactly. Prime example being Pusha T, screwed over by 2 labels yet stayed on his grind and look at him now. Too many artists are just soft and lazy and think everything should be handed to them.
At least she still has a soul. The level of fame she wanted comes at price. She’s an amazing talent. I’ve always loved her. But God knew it wasn’t worth losing her.
You can hear and feel the hurt in her voice. She is so bomb and talented to me. Her time is coming. What’s meant to be will be. ❤️♥️
Teyana can do NO WRONG. She’s literally 🔥 in every aspect of her life. And you can tell that’s she’s now genuinely grateful for her blessings.
Teyanna is blessed more than she knows! Beauty, gorgeous family, a great career, & adoring fans!! Her pinnacle moment will come in acting! Keep going 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Y’all all say y’all love Teyona but why y’all didn’t buy her record then ? The so called love not matching the streams and album 💿 sales . Sounds like fake love to me . Teyona is such an underrated artist I wish her career would have went further then it did .
She was so good in the movie Thousand And One. She's a good actress, singer, and dancer...she can do it all. I love her work and was sad when she said she was retiring. I hope she continues acting if the music industry won't support her. She would be great as Dionne Warwick.
I just wondering would her career be any different if she didn't signed to Pharrell and went with Beyonce instead, because she has the whole package that's for sure! Im just sad that her career and all her work didn't take her where she needed to go. But Teyana Taylor is a force to be reckoned with and she can act her ass off that's for sure. I'm really proud of her and everything she accomplished and still going strong❤
We probably would not even know her name if she signed with Beyonce, i mean even Chloe just flopped.. B can't help nobody.
@@kingsweattv2465 Can't help nobody but herself....
@@miospio I think that’s with anyone sweetheart
Nope look at Chloe bailey
@@noahzero9380 yep, especially these days.
Teyana is AMAZING. I've been a fan since her My Super Sweet 16! I absolutely love her, she's mega talented, beautiful, honest and outspoken! Hang in there momma, wutz urs can't be taken away!
99.9% of all artists arent protected by those who sign them. Teyana Taylor is talented very multi-skilled but she has to remember if it isnt in the contract then they aren't obligated to protect her. In theory it would be nice for Black artists to be protected especially if Black women are signed by Black artists
And to take it a step further, where was her mom, trusted family member or friend to watch/travel, look out for her? Pharrell and Kanye are in the business of making money. Would it have been nice they looked out for her, yes. But if her family was available, they should have looked out for her.
You are absolutely right, sadly this is the show business. BUSINESS comes before show because if the business ain't right you can't put on a high quality show. I agree black artist should be protected by other black artists they sign too but like the old saying goes not all skin folks is in folks and I wish more black artist would understand.
When you sign a contract with someone, they are not your friend, homegirl, home skillet biscuit, cuz, fam, brobro, or home. They are your boss and you are their employee until the contract is over. The same rules apply for any job, sadly in this world, the only ones in this world that are going to protect your check is yourself. Learn from the countless stories of Lil Wayne and xscape and so on. Just like working on wall street or working at Walmart. You can easily by replaced with somebody new if you are not doing and bringing in the money. You have to protect yourself at all cost in any business because no one else will.
I was about to comment something similar. It would be nice to be protected by whoever signs you but its definitely not mandatory. Love her tho
it’s not their obligation, you’re right, but it was their responsibility.
You live in a world that don't exist.
I hope she gets an Oscar for her performance so that maybe people can finally see that she’s a star in so many ways and let her shine even brighter.
I hope the same!! That would be so powerful if she won an Oscar. Because the music industry didn't appreciate her. Maybe acting will open more doors for her
You know how many talented actors and actresses don’t have Oscar’s and people still see what they are ??? Puh-lese the power is in us for real for real the more we support her the more real genuine love she gets
@@Naninanimous yep, I’m aware of all of that
They say people’s rejection is Gods protection. I believe the reason Teyana never popped like she should have is b/c she wasn’t willing to do the sacrifices and rituals necessary for you to pop in the industry. People think it’s purely based off talent and skill, but unfortunately it’s not that way. Many evil and satanic things go on behind closed doors. That’s why some of the most talentless ppl usually seem to surface out of nowhere cause they’re willing to do WHATEVER to get to the top.
There was actually an interview I was watching a couple days ago of this rapper called Smart (on the Math Hoffa channel). I guess he was an up and coming rapper in the 2010’s and he was mad talented. But he said the reason he never got famous and the success that he should have was b/c he wasn’t willing to “sell his soul” and compromise on his morals. Which practically meant taking it up the butt. Literally. It’s called the sodomy ritual. He said that practically every super famous artist, esp those at the tippy top have done it.
And this goes back into the early 00’s and prob even way before. Raz-B from B2k literally wrote a whole tell all book detailing how his own manager would prohibit them from having any girlfriends b/c he was secretly r*ping them and m*lesting them behind closed doors. And this is more common in this industry than people are willing to admit.
I mean even Elijah Wood (the actor from Lord of the Rings) said there was a pedophilia problem in Hollywood. And then when you think about Epsteins flight logs and how all those celebs were on it and now how everything is hush hush and it’s not even mentioned anymore. It’s literally right in our face. You can go to The Masters Voice Prophecy Blog channel to check all of this out. The specific video is titled “The Sodomy Ritual”. There’s also a Beyoncé prophecy on there. Beyoncé is not who many people think she is, but the cognitive dissonance never allows them to see it. But I’ll just leave it at that.
From what I got from this video, Teyana believes in God. She believes in Jesus. In order to really pop in the industry you have to forsake those beliefs and morals. There’s no way around it.
PROTECT THIS WOMAN AT ALL COSTS!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Teyana is from Harlem,& she’s a fellow New Yorker 🗽 ❤ She’s so immensely talented & I don’t think she gets all the flowers she deserves!! I sincerely hope she gets nominated & wins an Oscar because she definitely deserves it. When the conversation of multi-talented female performers comes up,it’s always all about Bey,but that needs to change! Tey needs to be in that conversation as well Byroooooooooooooooon (if you know you know lol). Plus her body is craaazyyyyyy 🥵
SN: don’t even get me started on Phalesha or whatever his name is..y’all see how he did Kelis…. ☕️☕️☕️
For what? She’s pretty safe and nobody wants to do anything to her
@@mielissa100ify girl go be a weirdo elsewhere
If you were to die today, are you a 100% sure you will go to heaven?
If no, here is what the bible says,
(1) Romans 3:23 KJV [23] For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
Q1. Do you know what Sin is?
Sin is anything bad that we have done.
Q2. Have you sinned before?
Yes or No?
(2) Revelation 21:8 KJV [8] But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Because we have sinned, and God does not allow Sin into Heaven, the punishment is burning hell.
What is the way to reconcile our peace and relationship with God?
Q3. Do you know the Story of Jesus?
(3) Romans 5:8 KJV [8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Jesus = God who lived up in Heaven, but he came down on earth and became a man like us, he lived for 33.5 years without committing any sin. Then there were certain people who were jealous and therefore framed him on phony charges, and crucified him. Then he was buried and resurrected on the third day; Now he lives in HEAVEN.
Q4. Do you know why Jesus went through all this bloody mess for us?
A4. As mentioned, our sin is the reason why we can’t go to heaven, and the only thing that can wash away our sin is the Blood of Jesus.
(4) Romans 5:9 KJV [9] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
According to the bible, the only way for us to reconcile with God is through Christ Jesus’s blood, and not through any works that we do or merits we accumulate, such as water baptism, attending church, or any good thing that we do. The following verses clearly support this.
(5) Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV [8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.
(6) 2 Corinthians 7:10 KJV [10] For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
In order to get saved, repentance of one’s sin is needed to get saved, we need to be sorry, and repent, with conviction, that we are a wretched sinner.
(7) Romans 10:9 KJV [9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
If you truly do believe in everything you have heard in the gospel, ,I strongly suggest you to make a proclamation to GOD! You can say it to God in less than 15 seconds !Repeat after this simple prayer, to make sure you truly get saved. Remember repeating this prayer doesn't save you, it's you telling God you BELIEVE THE GOSPEL. Ok, here is the prayer :
‘Dear GOD,
I know I am a sinner, as I repent, I put my faith, that Jesus is GOD, and that he died, buried and resurrected, so that his blood, can wash away my Sins. I put my faith in that alone to save me, not my good works. In Jesus’s holy name, I pray. Amen!
Congratulations ! Now you are a child of God. Download /Buy a KJV bible (I highly suggest getting a hard copy bible , as one day, it will be illegal to buy, own or even have an online version of the bible) and search for youtube channel like REAL Bible Believers , Spencer Smith to help you grow , study dispensationalism to understand the bible ( How do we reconcile the verses in the New Testament that tell us that we need works to show our faith, and another that tells us that nothing that can take our salvation away? That's why we need to study biblical dispensationalism to rightly divide the word of God.( study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth, 2 Timothy 2:15) (I recommend the dispensationalism video from Genesis to Revelations by Dr. Gene Kim, ua-cam.com/video/GI4CteEFxOk/v-deo.html) , Jesus in Genesis (ua-cam.com/video/RmnUkNT55gU/v-deo.html)
join a bible believing church. God bless you brother/ sister ☺. See you in heaven one day!
Teyanna should have gone and stayed independent.
And Beyonce would have done her the same way! Look at the Bailey girls!😂
I don't think any artist should put faith in another artist to help them grow. At the end of the day, you're both competing in the same race. There's no way they will put you ahead of themselves.
If Lil Wayne can do it, it can be done. The problem is some artist don't support their own artist either for whatever reason especially if they only want to remain at the top solo dolo.
@@MsLadyAllure I hear you. Like Empressive said, situations like that are really rare. It's difficult to find an artist willing to give another the level of support Lil Wayne gave Drake, Nicki & Tyga. He was putting in a lot of work for YM because he'd been through a lot with Birdman and he genuinely wanted his artists to win. I can't say Drake has done the same with his OVO artists. Maybe Nicki will do something different with her label.
Facts
@@MsLadyAllure Lil Wayne didn’t do it on his own,You’re forgetting about Birdman and lets not forget Nicki Minaj was hot before she signed a Deal and I cant speak about Drake but Teyana dropped and Album and it didn’t sell well
She’s so multitalented. I think she should be the leader behind Chloe and/or Normani’s next moves. They could actually really use her artistic vision and ear to take things to the next level. Behind the scenes may be her avenue. And it’s a bigger bag a lot of times anyways. Visionary could be her ultimate role. She can be the one to take young Black women artists on, build and protect them ❤.
I agree…
That is such a good idea. She has so much creativity and would be perfect to help newer artists. 🎯
Wasn’t Azealia Banks working with Pharrell and had similar issues?
Teyana can be indie and will STILL be successful. She knows how to get it out the mud. Her grind is crazy. No matter what she gets into…she’ll be successful! I truly believe that everything has happened to her to protect her from the evils of the industry. She doesn’t need the machine, she is the machine. ❤
Yeah she needs to go independent, she already has a fan base who will support her music
That’s what she wants to do. But def jam has to let her go first.
Def jam just making money off her name and Talent, That's was they not letting her go.
@@Justcanary8888 shes not gna go independent because then if she fails, she’ll have no male scapegoat to place the blame on 😂
Think about the fact that she was always rich and her dad spent a million dollars on her 16th bday party which was filmed and broadcasted on MTV. How was there ever anyone to blame? She had enough money to fund her music career in its entirety AS A CHILD…😂
Shes never gotten a damn thing “out the mud” shes been filthy rich all her life lol 😂 her father is super loaded.
I think teyanna Taylor career issues is due to colorism her career reminds me of Normani career very talent bt because of the color of their skin they will always be left at the way side its jus sad
Their situation are different imo. Teyana has wayy more hunger than Normani and was really trying it and she is still working her butt off no matter what similar to a Tinashe despite all her issues with RCA whose situation mirrors Normani way more tbh. Normani is more like a socialite but the fans want it more than she does clearly
She is so underrated. To be this gifted and talented and no one taking this potential where it needs to go is sad. I pray God opens doors for her because she deserves it. Much grace to you Teyana!! ❤❤
Pharrell did kelis all kinda bad. I'm not in the industry and I know that, I'm not crying for none of them. Girl is talented but they keep her on the shelf .
I loved her even when everyone was always asking what she did and who she was. Her journey has been great honestly, she’s had longevity without major major hits or super gimmicks. Proud of her for always pivoting and staying herself ❤❤❤
i am proud to say that i'm still listening to her album VII because it was amazing. im sad she never truly made something for herself and got lost in the industry
Yesssss!!! I love DO NOT DISTURB ft Chris brown
I don't care what anybody says. Those BM producers did not push her music because she didn't have the aesthetic that BM in the industry prefer/ insist on. If she lighter in complexion/racially ambiguous/big boobed & bootied/overtly sexual, those ninjas would have made her more of a priority. I said what I said. Don't @ me to deny misogynoir in that wicked industry. Look at what they did to Lil Kim's self esteem.
...
Her debut album is a masterpiece! I hate that the album didnt get promoted. She's definitely a heavy hitter
One of the most talented women in the music industry ! Sad to see how she feels she wasn’t protected also man . SoOo dope she has been so influential in so many careers that I can see . Even with out the music peak she deserved and deserves I think she is gonna disrupt through the film industry in the next 5 years tho - she has VISION!
Talent always speaks for itself. If she was not talented, she would not have survived for so long. I'm glad she doesnt have stories of being preyed upon as a child. Good things will come to her ❤
Her mom is a very well known person in the industry. They knew to never try her.
@@tulanibutler Thank God.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she was. She said she wasn’t protected. I honestly believe all of them are subjected to abuse. And they all have strong ties to the industry. Most of them are related. So, her mom being well known means nothing. This woman is incredibly and remarkably talented. Oftentimes, those are the ones targeted the most.
@@Lastdayone Exactly there are celebrity kids that get preyed on too.
Why are people commenting their opinions when she just posted the video 2 minutes ago 😂 like let's hear what'd going on first
😂😂😂
U already know! LOL! These folks act like kids, wanting to be the first to comment! 😂😂😂😂
