She spoke truth and facts about how women sometimes push their dreams to the side when supporting/got their man's back. Much respect for her investing in her future long term.
you dont have to like Dutchess I don't..lol..but u have to respect her business mind & plan...Its sad that Ceaser took the bait of VH1 now looking crazy while she will be making money long after the Reality Show!
ain't weak? she used Caesar and that's a fact, if Caesar was the one that did the same thing I bet your point of view will be different #doublestandard smh
kjdnyhmghfvb come on here! RIGHT! she paid 3,000 4 back child support & his bail she also help him get the shop together with all the paper work and codes she did alot 4 sure so yea!
She spoke some real shit about being independent and I have the most respect for her on that tip. No matter how independent you are we all in some time of our lives need a helping hand. Gotta know when to lower your guard and swallow your pride.
Well too keep it all the way real, she also helped those in NYC. She kept Caesar out of jail, which kept everyone in the shop employed, got his books together, got him an LLC and tax id, all which kept the show on the air, and I.R.S. off their backs, then she parlayed that into her own businesses, so... Winning. Now whether she can tattoo is subjective, but with all her clientele, she must be doing something right, at least she can spell unlike some tattoo artists.
Yippy Kaye Well I don't know if she's using him cuz I'm not apart of their relationship and I don't feed into everything the media say so like I said I like her business mind as far as the goal she set for herself.
I used to think that Dutchess was a pretentious liar. After watching this video I have to say that I loved her response and answers concerning her relationship with Ceasar and her response concerning all that she has done for herself.. For the first time, I am actually liking this woman. she may have made a few mistakes along the way but it sounds like she has obtain some wisdom. I wish her continued success, love and peace. Oh, and when she had to pay 3,000 or 6,000 dollars to keep Caesar out of jail because of delinquent child support, she should have known that something was insincere about this man. That would have been a red flag for me. lol But she eventually caught on after learning that VH1 paid for her engagement ring. I think that it is better late than never.
After meeting her and having a really personal conversation with her and her mom, I will tell you this is the real her. The show does her no justice for her personality. She really is a sweet and genuine person. We opened up and shared things with each other, that strangers don't normally share. So I know I was meeting Christiana and not Dutchess.
Dutchess is an intelligent young woman speaking the truth. Some women has forgotten about themselves and their dreams/goals. Because they are taking care of husbands kids friends and other ppl "shit"!.
"I don't want anyone helping me financially, physically, emotionally.. I needed to prove to myself that I could do it. That decision was to empower me!"🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I couldn't stand Dutchess on the show but I'm definitely feeling what she's putting out in this interview #Respect
It doesn't matter what the ring cost! That's why so many women are unhappy....chasing $$$. Marry for love and make your own money shit these women wearing million dollar rings but getting dogged like hell
It does matter, because if youre marrying someone who cannot provide in the relationship youre marrying into additional problems. The ring represents something. The ring itself is valueless, what it represents is not. The ring has nothing to do with a woman getting dogged, ppl marry for love and get dogged out worse so whats your point? Smh. Just dont marry an abusive person ring or no ring. You ppl are stupid and ignorant as fuck. Marriage is a "partnership" finances matter because your life is run by finances. What you idiots dont understand? If you cant understand this you dont belong in any marriage... why do think you sign a fkn contract? Thats a business deal from the jump where youre combining material assets. Get it together.
Do you Dutch!!! I'm proud of you and what you were able to come to do with what you had... The haters going to hate...Let them Hate!!!! You inspire me....
Real Voulga You've got the wrong girl I'm #teamnatural. Only money I spend on my hair is giving my cousin $20-30 to braid it or buying hair product. I don't get no expensive weaves.
ron prit because men are allowed to be materialist about their, shoes, games, & cars so when it comes to the woman they want to spend the rest of their lives with why should she get a cheap ring? It's a one time purchase. It's not like you have to buy one every year.
If she did use him.....good. Men been using women for decades. I do believe she really loved him tho. Regardless, what anybody thinks.... she getting that bread. Hahahahahaaha!
I knew it! I knew that Vh1 brought it - lol • j/k. S/o to Dutchess tho. So proud of her and I have a feeling that she is going to be okay, and God will have / put the right person & many more blessings in her life soon. She deserves it! Plus, she is a #TrueCarolinagirl : Through and through. I love it! • #HoldyaheadDutchess and #continue to " #Alwaysstaygracious #Bestrevengeisyopaper " - Beyoncé. Also, s/o to the Pretty-n-Ink crew as well. | | P.S. Looks like the new season of #Blackinkcrew is going to be Lit!! - Lol. So excited!
Dutchess has really made me respect her more. She's young and was a little clingy because she felt she had someone to ride with her as she fulfill her goals, dreams and aspirations and she was willing to do the same for him and take them both to a higher level, Unfortunately Ceaser was too immature to recognize he had a ride or die! She's a very intelligent young lady and with the way she has her plans mapped out, no doubt she's gonna be on TOP! Do you Dutch
Mad love and respect to her! I love seeing an articulate, educated black woman holding her own. Keep up the great work sis! If it was easy everybody would be doing it.
Queen Rattler As long as she isn't walking around smelling like a fish market like half of these females who be beat to the God's in the face and all of that extra shit she is good. She is a cute Lady but as long as she is clean she doesn't need be dressed up 24/7. She can rock herself no makeup and all of that. Oh and I'm not reaching for you ijs you know woman to woman we don't wanna be made up all the time.But I feel what you were saying.
U dumb bitches always feel like the next woman had to have her face beat and be slaying all the time. I can see that she not a basic bitch cause she doesn't need to have that all the time . She still cute
MZAPF07 I didn't say she needed to be beat for the God's, I said "put together" big difference. She can put carmex on and pull her hair back or something...look presentable.
I think she is very good at manipulation but i do believe at one point she loved him. Watching the show and knowing this is all fake, i dont think there feelings for one another was fake. Problem starts when you stop being humble and you let fame go to your head and now you start with the mindset of" I don't need you", she then had one agenda and that is to get her shop. My feelings and opinions are just that so please no disrespect to anyone whom are emotionally connected to the show or to the people. I will never forget the episode when his mom was sick and she was going into the hospital, to me she should have been there no matter what. Caesar rushed to his moms side. I don't know if he is close with his mother or not but it doesn't matter. I believe when his mom told him that she wasn't the right one for him. I truly believe he really thought about that. Who's going to love you more and know you like your mother. (Talking to those who has a relationship with there sons). She did fabricate a lot to Cesar and the people whom she worked with. Sometimes we don't always get the happy ending we want and that takes growth and I believe being on television also added to their problems. Hopefully everyone can move on and be happy and not petty with one another. Life is to short. Thank you to everyone that leaves a comment and likes or dislikes my reading.
Ken Mac So i wonder what she was doing with her money. My personal opinion she may have loved him but when she started making her own money she changed and i my so tired of the stuck up and rude demeanor. And last shes not that good of a tat artist. Seen her work.
Duchess and Caesar were doomed to start. Caesar never should have allowed VH1 to manipulate his business and life with the storyline of making Duchess his equal. This play was ratings GOLD but in the end Caesar lost Puma, argued with Ted and ole dud who I can't remember his name, and ended up looking like a lame. Duchess was childish and needy (characteristic of most young ladies now) and made Caesar feel like "daddy" Look at her now though. She poppin and Caesar in the corner of a booth at Chilis drinking shots looking sick. Cue old school song, "You've been played Git out my face!" I'm sure "the machine" is seeing how they can spin this ish on out. I hope they both come this ok though.
I don't like Dutchess, but she is right about women giving up so much for their man. And, when he(most of the time) decides he is not happy , she is the one whom has to make up for lost time.
Season one I loved Dutchess. After season two I wasn't really feeling her at all, but today is the realest I think I've seen her in a long time. #Respect
Just because it's called reality tv doesn't necessarily mean it's real lbss. Majority of it is scripted and people are told how to act on the show, so why are people saying they don't like this genius business woman.?? You don't really know her in real life lbs. Say you don't like the way she acts on TV or the character she portrays to be on tv you'll sound a little bit more intelligent, but that's none of my business lbs.
+Vikki DC lol exactly but it's business I bet she was given a script for all of that lbs. reality TV isn't real and her character is not the real her lbss.
Treasurenochest Demmings So you think she's a bitch in real life. I know all reality shows are fake and scripted but I feel she is really spoiled. You know her mom and dad,family and friends helped her. Come on he showed her the spot and he said was going to help her. Everyone else put it together and she complained the whole time.Then she takes all the credit. Said she did it all by myself no body helped her.
+Ken Mac idk her to really be able to say but she does act like a brat but I think it's for TV she seems to act like every other reality diva we've seen that claim to be bosses like kim k Paris Hilton Nicole Richie etc she's not original (the little dog cease gave her and etc reminds me of them) but that if she likes acting like that then so be it and pick up that check while you are at it lbs. she getting her money bitch or not you understand what I mean.?? only thing unique about her is her look.
Treasurenochest Demmings She's not attractive to me. She looks like she has ringworm and big chaped lips and still have little bitty chest even after surgery.But looks aren't everything.To each his own. I've been in business over 25 years and you won't last being selfish and stepping on toes.
Must say love the self empowerment from Dutchess. Making me think I should value my husband more because he gives me the opposite. He supports me and pushes me all the time to go after my dreams before his own. Wow....needed to hear this
Us as humans are really funny. when you got goals or ambitious and got friends who don't have the same vision; here comes the hating and things they don't like about you as if they don't have flaws either. No one in black ink is perfect but one thing I like about dutchess is she had goals. regardless of black ink show. she was going to make it one way or another. Besides her tattoo work skills speaking for itself, she also got a degree as back up. if Vh1 ain't air this show dutchess was still going to make it. her lips might be crusty but her pocket is loaded. no one is perfect. I never thought she was fake. her loyalty only lies with Ceasar anyways . what they go through in their relation most ya is going through it right now and not doing nothing about it but worrying about theirs. but they getting money. I just smell a bunch of hating as ppl that don't like seeing others succeeding and just smell of so much negativity. ppl don't take it to heart. it's a reality show but it's still edited and maybe a bit scripted for ratings. calling them out of their names is unnecessary. smh
Morenike Kokumo she used them shut up.....you can hv goals and ppl not share them and still be cordial with them in life ..... she did what most business ppl do used ppl to get ahead nothing special about this broad the krazy part is your statement should b directed towards her because he didnt share her vision didnt mean he was small minded or didnt love her .....lets just call it a spade
Never said he was small minded, don't know either one of them personally . I don't know what show you were watching. I don't even care for you to clarify just like I didn't even care to finish reading your comment. You still had me at she used the same tactics most business ppl use to get to the top🤔 But no one gets ahead in life without help from somewhere or someone. We all have resources that we need and use ;whether people or things ,work or school. You trying to insult me or her tells me a lot about how your mentality works and that you're not bright. Why you mad though. You better have a seat cos I'm still living my life and she still will be making her money. So why you're over there bitter about another person's success and want me to make my last comment directed towards her. Hey Duchess keep using your resources to get to the top. Congrats Duchess on all your endeavors. Ppl fail to understand that no matter who what and where God's Blessings ain't gonna stop in someone's life because ppl try to drag others names through the maf. Be the first to cast the 1st stone if you are perfect. So you can have a seat. This is my last response. I don't get paid to be bitter about other ppls personal life nor comment about it
And you should not go around insulting ppl you don't even know because you're bitter. It is my opinion period and we are all entitled to one. You are very immature
Morenike Kokumo So he's not entitled to his opinion. You use god blessings to say it's ok to take advantage of people to get ahead but she crys like a child when no one wants to fuck with her. She talked shit behind peoples back and told lies about everyone. Always talking about loyalty and has none. So called church people LMFAO
Do you Dutch ! You came up off of that ratchet reality show! you are educated and could have worked anyway! I think you have done a great job with what you had to work with! You inspire me! Keep God first, Keep it real and Love what you do!!!! You will be just fine!!!!
You're a boss, it's gonna be really hard, well; it's difficult to meet a real evenly yoked Black Man! I've been married x3, I'm still standing, strong,, and successful; with no man! I feel blessed and grateful
People kill me with the 20% of your income/3 months salary for a womans engagement ring.... and you see, she is single #SignedAMarriedWomanWhoIsAHappyWifeHomeownerWithASavingsAccount401KAndOUrFamilyTravels LOL
Khrisinda Mitchell Preach!! Cuz I know married women who claim they happy but taking care of they husbands outside kids. Oh and lets not forget the Tammi Rivera's of the world. I look up to Dutchess's hustle
I'm NOT the biggest fan of Dutchess but as a woman, I respect her hustle. She was smart with her money and she invested. She didn't wait for a man to save her, she took her "fame," the ridicule, and shit talking and she turned it into "gain." I wish more black women in the reality realm would play their cards the same way and create legitimate, lucrative businesses without all the foolishness and simply being a "good look" being passed around from man to man. Education is key! Always!
this interview made me look at her. differently. At first i will say i thought she was an opportunist because she always called the shop THEIRS but her shop was HERS. Now i view her as a businesswoman and in truth she spoke some real things.
Dana Vaughan are u serious. Ceasar is no better. if he would hv been a man then she would be all open rn but he was playing with this woman.everyone please dont act like ces is the victim..smh
This is exactly why she gets treated the way she does. Once you have a beef with someone all they personal business is out the door, you said yes to the proposal, how bad could he really be. As long as he was doing what she wanted him to, she was happy, I wish security would've let sky take her ass to the dance.
I love Dutchess!!!! everything she saying is exactly true Kama we as women put men before everything and most of them never put us before anything!! she is very talented and I am so happy that she's doing her, I hope that she stays on this track and becomes very successful.. on her own!!!!
I mean really??? Who puts a price on a ring? These people are so lost it's not even funny!!! 20% of your income on a ring??? Does that sound crazy to anyone else but me? LORD HAVE MERCY!!!
Khrisinda Mitchell I've been married to my Black Queen 4 25 years and we didn't have a lot of money I didn't have money so I bought what I could afford. I had just started my first business and worked at Apple computer. I had to put a lot of my paycheck to build my business but she stuck right on in there and everything worked out. I bought her the biggest ring she's afraid to ware it. Building a business takes a lot of sacrifice.
Khrisinda Mitchell Exactly! That why you can't you can't go buy that. if love someone the ring is important. That's how my mother was.She had to have material things that didn't mean anything. Now she old and lonely. When she had good men but was never satisfied. I have lots of toys myself but lose interest in them fast. So I look deeper for enjoyment like giving back to family and friends who deserve it.
Khrisinda Mitchell If a man gives you a ring worth millions then that's fine my point is there should not be a guideline for how much it costs! A ring will never represent my worth because my worth doesn't have a price tag attached to it...my worth is priceless! I will celebrate 19 years of marriage this month and hubby and I are still going strong. The price of my ring made no nevermind to me! I married for LOVE! My husband isn't a "broke ass man" as you put it...his riches are far beyond money and are priceless! He's a provider, protector, comforter, my friend, my lover, never once disrespected me or called me out of my name...that is all I need! Keep running behind expensive rings ladies and that is all you will be left with!
Khrisinda Mitchell They both have new relationships now but she will still be on show. How's that going to play out. Ceaser been messing around the whole time. But Anita right! You shouldn't have price guideline or pressure someone to do something financial for your love. Like your making it about money. Money comes and goes just like hoes.
Mrs Walker he didn't help get her shop she helped him get the contract with vh1 for the show and she help reduce his child support so he wouldn't vo to jail yet she needed him
You know what I can't even be mad at her for wanting more for herself and not depending on a man at least she's has something in her own name. When you value yourself you look for more even from the people around you never settle for less.
Beautiful clap back. Respectable, classy responses to some potentially difficult questions. Especially, when they are direct, about your private life and rather personal business adventures. (FingerSnap) You did that lady!!! God Bless in all your endeavors. With❤️ TrueFanOfBlackInkCrew
CHICK SPEAKING TRUE SHIT WISH I CAN SPEAK WITH HER ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS💯WE FEMALES TEND TO FORGET ABOUT OUR SELVES MORE THAN THE MALES N RELATIONSHIPS TRUTHS🖒🖒
I'm glad a commenter described the origin of the engagement ring Another recent development was pushing diamond rings This wedding ring concept (diamond ) was promoted after WW2 for the returning by the diamond industry
Queen LiLi yeah duchess keeps it real but she's still a nasty b**** and her involvement in Sky Sons business is a low blow she's a liar she said she had no involvement and a man showing receipts with her in a picture with Sky son and his father I thought she never met these people and duchess VH1 set it up she's a liar and I've lost respect for her.
Wow the comments on here are treacherous. Now I will admit I am no fan of Dutchess I think that she has been shady regarding some of he scenes. But what I see is someone who had a plan from day one. I believe her goal from day one was to own her own business. There is nothing wrong with that. If you look back to season one she has always tried to get Ceaser to be more about his business. I don't see anything wrong with that. Why are people dogging her out for playing her part on the show but being smart about the money she made? I may be wrong and don't have all the facts but based on thing said on the show I thought Ceasar somehow inherited Black Ink I never got the impression that it was a business he built from the ground up. Dutchess on the other hand set out thought her plan through and activated her plan. Was her love for Ceasar real or just part of the show? I don't know and really don't care. But I have to give her props for her maneuvers. All I can say is well executed plan Dutchess. Your focus now should only be the ensure that Pretty in Ink has longevity and that you continue to make your coins grow with other business ventures cause a true business person always has multiple streams of income. You say you don't really clap back on Social Media and that is good. Continue to stay off social media, let your haters send you business because the more they talk about you the more it makes people intrigued by what you are doing and they will come patronize just to be nosey. Dutchess planned for life beyond the show the rest of the cast will probably be broke when the show is over. Dont hate her for being smart.
Get it Dutch! I always respected her work ethic! Got the education and walked away from a "dream career to follow her passion! The cray cray was a bonus til it became over bearing...but we're still t alking about her!
Regardless I'm glad they not together but hate when people diss people when they break up she did use black ink as a come up and ceased did help her so yeah give him a little credit
Nothing but Respect for you. I swear people dont understand the need to do shit for you and yourself..Congratulations and future blessings❤❤fan#supporters
She's smart and cunning. Too advanced for Caesar.
mr hollands opus ture 💯💯
basically
Mik -Mik Dutchess has a collage degree boo and pays her taxes 👑👑👑👑
I don't know, but, I think he was the one that was saved. She's way advanced for him. I don't trust her at all.
She plotted on Black Ink from the beginning. His friends tried to tell him. She alienated all of them so that she could control him.
She spoke truth and facts about how women sometimes push their dreams to the side when supporting/got their man's back. Much respect for her investing in her future long term.
that goes both ways
Mistress_of Dune I agree people mite say a lot about her but he spoke the truth and she Building her on that vh1 don't have power over !yesss
Not a fan of hers but having her own shop is the best thing she could have done.Gotta respect that .
Pretty site VH1 helped to pay some of that
panda 17 she also was the only female out of the shop to make a major move to be her own boss
panda 17 so if you have a job, you are using your employer for a come up...everybody gets it how they get it. she bosses up and I respect that.
the show helped her get to where she is
He gave it to her 😂
She is a smart woman and I glad she got her own business. She was a little messy on the shiw but hell the whole show messy. F the haters Dutchess.
you dont have to like Dutchess I don't..lol..but u have to respect her business mind & plan...Its sad that Ceaser took the bait of VH1 now looking crazy while she will be making money long after the Reality Show!
fuck a business if you have a shady characteristics
Yippy Kaye She's not shady... She just ain't weak💯
ain't weak? she used Caesar and that's a fact, if Caesar was the one that did the same thing I bet your point of view will be different #doublestandard smh
used Caesar, didn't she pay for him not to go jail, using her own money, If there was using going on it was definitely mutual.
kjdnyhmghfvb come on here! RIGHT! she paid 3,000 4 back child support & his bail she also help him get the shop together with all the paper work and codes she did alot 4 sure so yea!
I respect Dutchess hustle, but its hard for me to feel total sympathy for her
MyAmysBad I agree with everything you said but I don't agree with the ugly part she has evil ways but she is beautiful
MyAmysBad I always said they look alike
I didnt think nobody else noticed it. Lol.
Especially in the nose and mouth area
MyAmysBad hey Donna!
She spoke some real shit about being independent and I have the most respect for her on that tip. No matter how independent you are we all in some time of our lives need a helping hand. Gotta know when to lower your guard and swallow your pride.
At least she kept it real... can't please everybody. frfr
Well too keep it all the way real, she also helped those in NYC. She kept Caesar out of jail, which kept everyone in the shop employed, got his books together, got him an LLC and tax id, all which kept the show on the air, and I.R.S. off their backs, then she parlayed that into her own businesses, so... Winning. Now whether she can tattoo is subjective, but with all her clientele, she must be doing something right, at least she can spell unlike some tattoo artists.
Brenda Taylor yep
I like her business mind...stay focus girlie.
fuck that and fuck anyone that need to use ppl to get on period
Yippy Kaye Well I don't know if she's using him cuz I'm not apart of their relationship and I don't feed into everything the media say so like I said I like her business mind as far as the goal she set for herself.
+Yippy Kaye Fuck stupid men that let women walk over them! Dutchess won!
Her business hustle must be respected!

Donna Harris. I agree
After meeting her and having a really personal conversation with her and her mom, I will tell you this is the real her. The show does her no justice for her personality. She really is a sweet and genuine person. We opened up and shared things with each other, that strangers don't normally share. So I know I was meeting Christiana and not Dutchess.
Donna Harris Agreed!
she is..
Dutchess is an intelligent young woman speaking the truth. Some women has forgotten about themselves and their dreams/goals. Because they are taking care of husbands kids friends and other ppl "shit"!.
no matter what we think of her, Dutches is a bad ass boss bitch!!!
I love this Dutchess! She's speaking major facts.
Wrong 🗣she’s a manipulator GTFOH
@@marlenagaines3080 girl shut up you’re so slow do you not realize that the show is fake
"I don't want anyone helping me financially, physically, emotionally.. I needed to prove to myself that I could do it. That decision was to empower me!"🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I couldn't stand Dutchess on the show but I'm definitely feeling what she's putting out in this interview #Respect
It doesn't matter what the ring cost! That's why so many women are unhappy....chasing $$$. Marry for love and make your own money shit these women wearing million dollar rings but getting dogged like hell

Kamecia Mathis
Kamecia Mathis
Kamecia Mathis I second that emotion. I'm with you when you're right & in this case, you're damn right dude
It does matter, because if youre marrying someone who cannot provide in the relationship youre marrying into additional problems. The ring represents something. The ring itself is valueless, what it represents is not.
The ring has nothing to do with a woman getting dogged, ppl marry for love and get dogged out worse so whats your point? Smh. Just dont marry an abusive person ring or no ring. You ppl are stupid and ignorant as fuck.
Marriage is a "partnership" finances matter because your life is run by finances. What you idiots dont understand? If you cant understand this you dont belong in any marriage... why do think you sign a fkn contract? Thats a business deal from the jump where youre combining material assets. Get it together.
The man was going to jail for child support, how does she expect him to buy her a ring???? That 20% need to go on that back pay
Erica Dowell she expected him to buy a 2.1 million dollar house. obviously something isnt too tight in her brain
Erica Dowell she paid that off with her own money on the episode he had to go to court
Patricia Estell she made one payment she didnt pay off all his child support
Mollysha Johnson ooh alright
Erica Dowell That Means Nothing. A Lot of Guys With Money Don't Pay Their Child Support
She must have put on that crazy personality for tv, because she sounds so sane here.
Tiffany Flowers LMFAO. 😂😂😂😂
Nah Ceasr salad was really that bad... I believe he made her act out of character, while they were still getting paid.
Tiffany Flowers yessss I see her as a real women
Tiffany Flowers Women act out and want the pussy back once they realize they gave the panties up to a bum ass nigga. Shit happens everyday
Tiffany Flowers She doesn't even seem crazy on the show. she's just moody lol
Do you Dutch!!! I'm proud of you and what you were able to come to do with what you had... The haters going to hate...Let them Hate!!!! You inspire me....

Men kill me. They send $200 on Jordan's and $400 on a Gaming system, then expect a woman to accept a $100 engagement ring!!
Real Voulga You've got the wrong girl I'm #teamnatural. Only money I spend on my hair is giving my cousin $20-30 to braid it or buying hair product. I don't get no expensive weaves.
Michelle Campbell See how quick their tune changed? lmao, you tell em, sis 😂😂😂
ron prit because men are allowed to be materialist about their, shoes, games, & cars so when it comes to the woman they want to spend the rest of their lives with why should she get a cheap ring? It's a one time purchase. It's not like you have to buy one every year.
ron prit a man can buy you a cheap ring and cheat too. That's not the point. Why bring up to things that don't correlate?
Michelle Campbell im sayin why does tha price matter? u cant put a price on luv
If she did use him.....good. Men been using women for decades. I do believe she really loved him tho. Regardless, what anybody thinks.... she getting that bread. Hahahahahaaha!

Stace Mo she has all that ??
Stace Mo jealous much
Boy Dutch was spilling all da tea🍶Daummm! 😆😆😆
She took advantage of a platform!!! People spend years trying to do exactly that.
I don't care for her attitude but 90% of what she said was facts. I respect her grind..
one thing I can say about duchess is she's always been about them coins
I have a different take on dutchess.....all women need to hear this 😍 she's real
Dutchess has really made me respect her more. She's young and was a little clingy because she felt she had someone to ride with her as she fulfill her goals, dreams and aspirations and she was willing to do the same for him and take them both to a higher level, Unfortunately Ceaser was too immature to recognize he had a ride or die! She's a very intelligent young lady and with the way she has her plans mapped out, no doubt she's gonna be on TOP! Do you Dutch
Mad love and respect to her! I love seeing an articulate, educated black woman holding her own. Keep up the great work sis! If it was easy everybody would be doing it.
Big UPS to you Duchess. Keep your head up; live your dream and make dat money!
fuq her wack ass!!! she's a bum
Dutches you go girl... Well said. I am so proud of you.... And I love hearing you talk good sense...... and not two cents. ~Tammy B Jones
very smart young lady
💯💯
all facts very positive words from this woman..completely understand and can relate.we have too do what we have too do for ourselves sometimes.
Why she never look put together....she always look thrown away....
Queen Rattler As long as she isn't walking around smelling like a fish market like half of these females who be beat to the God's in the face and all of that extra shit she is good. She is a cute Lady but as long as she is clean she doesn't need be dressed up 24/7. She can rock herself no makeup and all of that. Oh and I'm not reaching for you ijs you know woman to woman we don't wanna be made up all the time.But I feel what you were saying.
U dumb bitches always feel like the next woman had to have her face beat and be slaying all the time. I can see that she not a basic bitch cause she doesn't need to have that all the time . She still cute
King Javonique True
King Javonique you mad?
MZAPF07 I didn't say she needed to be beat for the God's, I said "put together" big difference. She can put carmex on and pull her hair back or something...look presentable.
I think she is very good at manipulation but i do believe at one point she loved him. Watching the show and knowing this is all fake, i dont think there feelings for one another was fake. Problem starts when you stop being humble and you let fame go to your head and now you start with the mindset of" I don't need you", she then had one agenda and that is to get her shop. My feelings and opinions are just that so please no disrespect to anyone whom are emotionally connected to the show or to the people. I will never forget the episode when his mom was sick and she was going into the hospital, to me she should have been there no matter what. Caesar rushed to his moms side. I don't know if he is close with his mother or not but it doesn't matter. I believe when his mom told him that she wasn't the right one for him. I truly believe he really thought about that. Who's going to love you more and know you like your mother. (Talking to those who has a relationship with there sons). She did fabricate a lot to Cesar and the people whom she worked with. Sometimes we don't always get the happy ending we want and that takes growth and I believe being on television also added to their problems. Hopefully everyone can move on and be happy and not petty with one another. Life is to short.
Thank you to everyone that leaves a comment and likes or dislikes my reading.
lin stone 💯
lin stone And..
exactly
lin stone She don't even have enough money to pay the contractor. Can't be that expensive in NC not like NY. I thought her dad was also helping her.
Ken Mac So i wonder what she was doing with her money. My personal opinion she may have loved him but when she started making her own money she changed and i my so tired of the stuck up and rude demeanor. And last shes not that good of a tat artist. Seen her work.
she looks like she didn't even brush her teeth before the interview!!!!!!
😂😂 and da bitch need 2 get her dreads retwisted..she has 2 much $$ 2 walk around looking like she looking😂😂
Nikki757 😂 it looks like she was rushed out of bed
I just commented something like this before I read yours.....so I KNOW I'm not trippin.
Nikki757 Wow when I saw the thumbnail pic I said the same thing 😷
You guys are stupid LMAO
Duchess and Caesar were doomed to start. Caesar never should have allowed VH1 to manipulate his business and life with the storyline of making Duchess his equal. This play was ratings GOLD but in the end Caesar lost Puma, argued with Ted and ole dud who I can't remember his name, and ended up looking like a lame. Duchess was childish and needy (characteristic of most young ladies now) and made Caesar feel like "daddy" Look at her now though. She poppin and Caesar in the corner of a booth at Chilis drinking shots looking sick. Cue old school song, "You've been played Git out my face!" I'm sure "the machine" is seeing how they can spin this ish on out. I hope they both come this ok though.
I don't like Dutchess, but she is right about women giving up so much for their man. And, when he(most of the time) decides he is not happy , she is the one whom has to make up for lost time.
Season one I loved Dutchess. After season two I wasn't really feeling her at all, but today is the realest I think I've seen her in a long time. #Respect
He didn't buy the ring....WTF😨 Wow reality TV is not real😱
You
.
... never knew it wasn't real? wow... brainwashed children of my generation....
Antionette Cheek
!
I thought everyone knew reality TV wasn't real they only called it reality to get more views
Nerissa Loc thats crazy
you go girl make that money and live your life 😆
I have always loved Dutchess because I understand her
Electra Trinidad Right 💯
Electra Trinidad
Electra Trinidad same here🙌🏿
Truth almost everyone I know dislike her but I like her cause I understand her too 💯. NC breed 😊
Team Dutchess 🙌🏽
fuck shady people
Just because it's called reality tv doesn't necessarily mean it's real lbss. Majority of it is scripted and people are told how to act on the show, so why are people saying they don't like this genius business woman.?? You don't really know her in real life lbs. Say you don't like the way she acts on TV or the character she portrays to be on tv you'll sound a little bit more intelligent, but that's none of my business lbs.
+Vikki DC lol exactly but it's business I bet she was given a script for all of that lbs. reality TV isn't real and her character is not the real her lbss.
Treasurenochest Demmings So you think she's a bitch in real life. I know all reality shows are fake and scripted but I feel she is really spoiled. You know her mom and dad,family and friends helped her. Come on he showed her the spot and he said was going to help her. Everyone else put it together and she complained the whole time.Then she takes all the credit. Said she did it all by myself no body helped her.
+Ken Mac idk her to really be able to say but she does act like a brat but I think it's for TV she seems to act like every other reality diva we've seen that claim to be bosses like kim k Paris Hilton Nicole Richie etc she's not original (the little dog cease gave her and etc reminds me of them) but that if she likes acting like that then so be it and pick up that check while you are at it lbs. she getting her money bitch or not you understand what I mean.?? only thing unique about her is her look.
Treasurenochest Demmings She's not attractive to me. She looks like she has ringworm and big chaped lips and still have little bitty chest even after surgery.But looks aren't everything.To each his own. I've been in business over 25 years and you won't last being selfish and stepping on toes.
+Ken Mac exactly but I said she looks unique. she ain't ugly just country not the everyday chick we used to seeing on TV.
Must say love the self empowerment from Dutchess. Making me think I should value my husband more because he gives me the opposite. He supports me and pushes me all the time to go after my dreams before his own. Wow....needed to hear this
Us as humans are really funny. when you got goals or ambitious and got friends who don't have the same vision; here comes the hating and things they don't like about you as if they don't have flaws either. No one in black ink is perfect but one thing I like about dutchess is she had goals. regardless of black ink show. she was going to make it one way or another. Besides her tattoo work skills speaking for itself, she also got a degree as back up. if Vh1 ain't air this show dutchess was still going to make it. her lips might be crusty but her pocket is loaded. no one is perfect. I never thought she was fake. her loyalty only lies with Ceasar anyways . what they go through in their relation most ya is going through it right now and not doing nothing about it but worrying about theirs. but they getting money. I just smell a bunch of hating as ppl that don't like seeing others succeeding and just smell of so much negativity. ppl don't take it to heart. it's a reality show but it's still edited and maybe a bit scripted for ratings. calling them out of their names is unnecessary. smh
Morenike Kokumo preach👏👏👏👏👏
Morenike Kokumo she used them shut up.....you can hv goals and ppl not share them and still be cordial with them in life ..... she did what most business ppl do used ppl to get ahead nothing special about this broad the krazy part is your statement should b directed towards her because he didnt share her vision didnt mean he was small minded or didnt love her .....lets just call it a spade
Never said he was small minded, don't know either one of them personally . I don't know what show you were watching. I don't even care for you to clarify just like I didn't even care to finish reading your comment. You still had me at she used the same tactics most business ppl use to get to the top🤔 But no one gets ahead in life without help from somewhere or someone. We all have resources that we need and use ;whether people or things ,work or school. You trying to insult me or her tells me a lot about how your mentality works and that you're not bright. Why you mad though. You better have a seat cos I'm still living my life and she still will be making her money. So why you're over there bitter about another person's success and want me to make my last comment directed towards her. Hey Duchess keep using your resources to get to the top. Congrats Duchess on all your endeavors. Ppl fail to understand that no matter who what and where God's Blessings ain't gonna stop in someone's life because ppl try to drag others names through the maf. Be the first to cast the 1st stone if you are perfect. So you can have a seat. This is my last response. I don't get paid to be bitter about other ppls personal life nor comment about it
And you should not go around insulting ppl you don't even know because you're bitter. It is my opinion period and we are all entitled to one. You are very immature
Morenike Kokumo So he's not entitled to his opinion. You use god blessings to say it's ok to take advantage of people to get ahead but she crys like a child when no one wants to fuck with her. She talked shit behind peoples back and told lies about everyone. Always talking about loyalty and has none. So called church people LMFAO
ok Dutchess... gotta give credit when and where it's due. Most truth and intelligence I've heard come from you 👏👏👏
keep it rocking
DO YOU DUTCHESS!!! Fux what a hater say ...
Dutch, girl I got MAD RESPECT FOR YOUR HUSTLE!!! KEEP DOING YOU BOO!!!
Do you Dutch ! You came up off of that ratchet reality show! you are educated and could have worked anyway! I think you have done a great job with what you had to work with! You inspire me! Keep God first, Keep it real and Love what you do!!!! You will be just fine!!!!
You're a boss, it's gonna be really hard, well; it's difficult to meet a real evenly yoked Black Man! I've been married x3, I'm still standing, strong,, and successful; with no man! I feel blessed and grateful
People kill me with the 20% of your income/3 months salary for a womans engagement ring.... and you see, she is single #SignedAMarriedWomanWhoIsAHappyWifeHomeownerWithASavingsAccount401KAndOUrFamilyTravels LOL
👌
T- Rue so trueeee
Khrisinda Mitchell Preach!! Cuz I know married women who claim they happy but taking care of they husbands outside kids. Oh and lets not forget the Tammi Rivera's of the world. I look up to Dutchess's hustle
Lele Tammy gets her money are you trippin. She has her own businesses.
+Ken Mac With Waka's money. You do know that they share the payments right?
She very authentic and I also like the fact that she uses clarity in her words
I'm NOT the biggest fan of Dutchess but as a woman, I respect her hustle. She was smart with her money and she invested. She didn't wait for a man to save her, she took her "fame," the ridicule, and shit talking and she turned it into "gain." I wish more black women in the reality realm would play their cards the same way and create legitimate, lucrative businesses without all the foolishness and simply being a "good look" being passed around from man to man. Education is key! Always!
this interview made me look at her. differently. At first i will say i thought she was an opportunist because she always called the shop THEIRS but her shop was HERS. Now i view her as a businesswoman and in truth she spoke some real things.
I Could never be judge mental against her, she's always been ah hunnid👌💯💯
Dutches get on my nerves 100 percent of the time I see her but watching this video I have mad respect for her 💯💪🏾
Respect her hustle.
KeKee ALI Right 💯👏
It's annoying when people talk bad about someone they used to love. Smh shows what type of character she has.
Dana Vaughan are u serious. Ceasar is no better. if he would hv been a man then she would be all open rn but he was playing with this woman.everyone please dont act like ces is the victim..smh
Wooooow how the fuck she gunna say all that about him in public?! Smh
This is exactly why she gets treated the way she does. Once you have a beef with someone all they personal business is out the door, you said yes to the proposal, how bad could he really be. As long as he was doing what she wanted him to, she was happy, I wish security would've let sky take her ass to the dance.
After this I'm fucking with dutchess
I love Dutchess!!!! everything she saying is exactly true Kama we as women put men before everything and most of them never put us before anything!! she is very talented and I am so happy that she's doing her, I hope that she stays on this track and becomes very successful.. on her own!!!!
I mean really??? Who puts a price on a ring? These people are so lost it's not even funny!!! 20% of your income on a ring??? Does that sound crazy to anyone else but me? LORD HAVE MERCY!!!
Khrisinda Mitchell That's why we have so many single moms. Gold-diggers of AMERICA united and fucking each other now.
Khrisinda Mitchell I've been married to my Black Queen 4 25 years and we didn't have a lot of money I didn't have money so I bought what I could afford. I had just started my first business and worked at Apple computer. I had to put a lot of my paycheck to build my business but she stuck right on in there and everything worked out. I bought her the biggest ring she's afraid to ware it. Building a business takes a lot of sacrifice.
Khrisinda Mitchell Exactly! That why you can't you can't go buy that. if love someone the ring is important. That's how my mother was.She had to have material things that didn't mean anything. Now she old and lonely. When she had good men but was never satisfied. I have lots of toys myself but lose interest in them fast. So I look deeper for enjoyment like giving back to family and friends who deserve it.
Khrisinda Mitchell If a man gives you a ring worth millions then that's fine my point is there should not be a guideline for how much it costs! A ring will never represent my worth because my worth doesn't have a price tag attached to it...my worth is priceless! I will celebrate 19 years of marriage this month and hubby and I are still going strong. The price of my ring made no nevermind to me! I married for LOVE! My husband isn't a "broke ass man" as you put it...his riches are far beyond money and are priceless! He's a provider, protector, comforter, my friend, my lover, never once disrespected me or called me out of my name...that is all I need! Keep running behind expensive rings ladies and that is all you will be left with!
Khrisinda Mitchell They both have new relationships now but she will still be on show. How's that going to play out. Ceaser been messing around the whole time. But Anita right! You shouldn't have price guideline or pressure someone to do something financial for your love. Like your making it about money. Money comes and goes just like hoes.
she never needed him so be clear
Mrs Walker he didn't help get her shop she helped him get the contract with vh1 for the show and she help reduce his child support so he wouldn't vo to jail yet she needed him
she was fine before
she was always my fav she is really Talented,,her tattoos are amazing 😍 #respect
this was the most real conversation I've heard from her since watching black ink.. speaking Hella truth..
You know what I can't even be mad at her for wanting more for herself and not depending on a man at least she's has something in her own name. When you value yourself you look for more even from the people around you never settle for less.
Beautiful clap back. Respectable, classy responses to some potentially difficult questions. Especially, when they are direct, about your private life and rather personal business adventures. (FingerSnap) You did that lady!!! God Bless in all your endeavors. With❤️ TrueFanOfBlackInkCrew
CHICK SPEAKING TRUE SHIT WISH I CAN SPEAK WITH HER ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS💯WE FEMALES TEND TO FORGET ABOUT OUR SELVES MORE THAN THE MALES N RELATIONSHIPS TRUTHS🖒🖒
Duchess you get all props.I felt a way about you.Nuff respect.You speak as a smart, true,serious business woman.You deserve better.
I actually met dutchess before and she was mad cool. She didn't act bougie or nothing so she cool to me.
I'm glad a commenter described the origin of the engagement ring Another recent development was pushing diamond rings This wedding ring concept (diamond ) was promoted after WW2 for the returning by the diamond industry
30 seconds in, she's said nigga half a dozen times. Sounds like the perfect wife. smh
Lmao. You sound fuckin stupid. Obviously her saying nigga did not affect her reaching her goals and owning her business my NIGGA. What?
Lmao. You sound fuckin stupid. Obviously her saying nigga did not affect her reaching her goals and owning her business my NIGGA. What?
I fuck with dutchess she kept it real💯👌
queen LiLi as real as a $3 bill...
LOL!!
Queen LiLi yeah duchess keeps it real but she's still a nasty b**** and her involvement in Sky Sons business is a low blow she's a liar she said she had no involvement and a man showing receipts with her in a picture with Sky son and his father I thought she never met these people and duchess VH1 set it up she's a liar and I've lost respect for her.
Spoken like a real woman. "The things that vh1 is adding to but have no control over" wow that's boss status!
Glad Dutchess showed up to yall show. She didn't up to mine even after she gave confirmation through her management.
Shout out to Dutchess! Focus and self love is everything.
say what u want but this woman is smart everyone on that show are always ready to party seriously do u girl
I really like her. she's smart and very calculated. I feel she was genuine. but sometimes you have to walk away
Really Dutch! !!!he found out who and what you really are. you saw opportunity and went in!
Wow the comments on here are treacherous. Now I will admit I am no fan of Dutchess I think that she has been shady regarding some of he scenes. But what I see is someone who had a plan from day one. I believe her goal from day one was to own her own business. There is nothing wrong with that. If you look back to season one she has always tried to get Ceaser to be more about his business. I don't see anything wrong with that. Why are people dogging her out for playing her part on the show but being smart about the money she made? I may be wrong and don't have all the facts but based on thing said on the show I thought Ceasar somehow inherited Black Ink I never got the impression that it was a business he built from the ground up. Dutchess on the other hand set out thought her plan through and activated her plan. Was her love for Ceasar real or just part of the show? I don't know and really don't care. But I have to give her props for her maneuvers. All I can say is well executed plan Dutchess. Your focus now should only be the ensure that Pretty in Ink has longevity and that you continue to make your coins grow with other business ventures cause a true business person always has multiple streams of income. You say you don't really clap back on Social Media and that is good. Continue to stay off social media, let your haters send you business because the more they talk about you the more it makes people intrigued by what you are doing and they will come patronize just to be nosey. Dutchess planned for life beyond the show the rest of the cast will probably be broke when the show is over. Dont hate her for being smart.
Her and Caesar needs to worry about Donna taking them to judge Judy 😄
go girl make that money
dont worry about the haters. do u boo u are a very strong black woman. i am proud of u. keep doing u.
I have mad respect for Dutches.... Get your money boo... You deserve the best
stop hating on the truth she keeping it 100
Get it Dutch! I always respected her work ethic! Got the education and walked away from a "dream career to follow her passion! The cray cray was a bonus til it became over bearing...but we're still t
alking about her!
this is how you get a spin off show 25% real 75% entertainment
Regardless I'm glad they not together but hate when people diss people when they break up she did use black ink as a come up and ceased did help her so yeah give him a little credit
Nothing but Respect for you. I swear people dont understand the need to do shit for you and yourself..Congratulations and future blessings❤❤fan#supporters
Tell it Dutch. I feel you 100%.
Now she telling that he didn't buy the ring, she didn't say shit when she was wearing the ring
Chiquita Green right!She been knew he didn't buy that ring
👍👌👏👏🙌💪You GO Girl.... 💁💅😎
I think Dutchess is gorgeous, but we all know this is all publicity for this show, that I love. 😁
