Tina Turner should be hailed as a woman who came through serious adversity and managed to prevail with her head held high. (She looks beautiful in the thumbnail by the way)❤️🙏🏾
You are correct but now they are using the same abuse tactics to gaslight Tina and her fans to come up with some narrative that Ike wasn't mentally or physically abusive as Tina has claimed.
She is.
@@TheEarthRealm She will be forever
RIP Tina
That’s exactly how she is remembered. There are certain people saying stupid things, yes, but overall, when people talk about Tina, prior to her passing, they acknowledge her for her strength, humility, and hard work. The abuse typically gets talked about because it’s seen as a part of her story of survival. But her career after Ike is what people talk about since is shows perseverance and a passion goes one’s craft.
Tina didn’t wanna talk about it despite the fact that she inspired people to leave their abusive marriages but she became a living legend and she should have been acknowledged as such. It took too long until the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame finally inducted her as a SOLO ARTIST. But everyone wanna talk about “Ike, Ike, Ike!” 🙄😕
Wait when was it ?
This year she was inducted as a solo artist but in 1991 she was added with ike
@@kehlanijauregui1017 I know that lol

@@kehlanijauregui1017 Ike actually deserved that, he made Tina, her greatest hits are w Ike Turner!
I'd argue that Tina IS the blueprint for the standard we have for all the current pop girls. Nowadays we expect female popstars to put on these concert tours full of stage show, choreography, and deliver vocals, all of which Tina did and popularize in her prime. Tina will always be the pioneer of the modern day pop act and that demands the respect from all of us. Long live the Queen of Rock and Roll
I agree. Most folks in the black community agree
lol!
It’s either her or Madonna with The Blonde Ambition Tour (which I personally think is the blueprint for the pop concert tour idea)
Yeah one thing all the girls learned from …. NEVER do a movie. Fans will talk about it FOREVER .
Its her and Janet. Black women are the blueprints for pop female acts
Amazing video essay. May Ms Turner R.I.P. 🙏🏽
Of course Chris Brown would reference Tina's abuse in a lyric 🙄 Disgusting.
When?
@@asiaellis2164 13:02
Of course he would. Pig.
He is a piece of trash now.
He's a disgusting pos.
I wholeheartedly agree. I also feel like people let Whitney Houston drug overdose overshadow her amazing voice. It’s sad how people disrespect her.
@@DavidKen878 It's very true...Look at the all the SNL and mad tv sketches and skit making fun of her drug habit and toxic relationship with Bobby. Everytime someone is talking about Whitney they also bring up her drug addiction. I mean look at the tabloids after she performed for Michael Jackson in 2001, the media and public bullied her even though she contributed so much to the music industry.
@@mariahyohannes yea this one girl on Wild n Out tried to make a joke about her death… it wasn’t funny… ppl dragged her for it bc you don’t joke about death
People lack compassion, especially towards black women. Our culture in general picks and chooses who they’d like to see as victims. Black women aren’t given the compassion and understanding that they deserve.
This is unfortunately so true! Same with Marilyn Monroe, when people talk about her, the most popular thing that comes to mind is of her death instead of her success. So sad to see these wonderful talented women get degraded :(
@@DavidKen878 You must not have been alive during the 2000s cause child… they really came at her hard for it. 😐 Like she was the only one caught up in drugs. It was so annoying.
Personally, I was *very surprised Beyoncé okayed Jay-Z's verse in "Drunk In Love". With Tina being her biggest inspiration next to Michael Jackson, I thought she'd be more sensitive to Tina's history.
What did Jay z do ?
@@nthuthukomdluli1052 they referenced a part in Tina's biopic where ike abused her bcoz she refused to eat cake .
I would sing this song without even knowing who Anna Mae was or what JayZ was referring to. Just so heartbreaking to know how much power and privilege (and money) we give to big artists without considering the essence of their art
It wasn’t their intent to hurt or disrespect Tina
@@ozzyu6684 that may be true but impact matters more than intent
I’m happy Tina Turner is enjoying life now after she suffered so much, not just from Ike but even from her own sons’s death. She is a legend and very kind person and deserves the best.
Rest in power, legend
Im honestly disgusted at the fact the there are artists who think they have a right to reference the abuse Tina went through. That is not their abuse to write about and what she went through was horrific so to exploit that for a song? absolutely fucked up, even more fucked when a lot of those artists have a history of abusing/mistreatig women (biggie and chris brown). ugh
Same
The Beyonce and Jayz one was more disrespectful, seeing as Beyonce herself has cited Tina Turner as a musical influence when it comes to her music. Then she goes and slaps her in the face with her husband's line on her song, it doesn't matter if she herself didn't say it she mimed it while Jay z rapped it which is just as disrespectful, how can you say your influenced by someone then go and disrespect them in that manner; I am sure if other singers referenced Jayz cheating on Beyonce in their song she wouldn't be happy about it, but there she is in the video smiling next to Jay z as he is rapping that wtf.
@@JESOGROUP92 WBK Beyonce has 0 creative control and it's Jay Z's puppet, her whole female empowerment branding is a fraud
@@JESOGROUP92 not you blaming her for smiling in a music video while Jay z did a line about Tina turner like I'm so confused what did you expect her too do really frown when he said the line she didn't even write the line nor probably had any control over his line that's jay z I don't know why yall try to drag her in everything yall did the same thing with the kanye situation he went on stage acting like fool and people blamed beyonce for smiling and said she set Taylor up or asked him which wasn't true.
@@jaycrews3707 Beyoncé could have asked her visual hole of a husband to change the lyrics bc it was disrespectful to Tina and women in general. It only required basic human decency and common sense.
There'd be no Janet, Whitney, Mariah, Beyonce, Rihanna or Ariana without Tina Tuner, never forget that.
Madonna as well
@@Isabella-wm3th Madonna came way later on, Madonna is a product of Cher, without Cher leading the way, Madonna wouldn't have know what to do.
absolutely true
La plus grande c’est Whitney
I am really appreciating the content that focuses on eras prior to "contemporary era". Anything prior to the 2000 are so hidden from popular media so this was really insightful!
You are just not looking for it lol everything’s up on here
@@jackthrone5555 "popular media"
ani ramy I get it lol new age of blissful ignorance
I mean not really, everyone knows this story and a ot of other pop culture events prior to 2000. But this does give it light to kids under 18
DateDylan I’m 38 but because I know what acts like Tina and Whitney went through makes me feel old lol
Success is often the best resistance and ultimate rebellion to abusive relationships. Tina not only survived, she thrived
The lady with the long legs ❤️. It’s even more devastating how her abuse was made as punchlines by artists in recent years. People should glorify abuse or poke fun at or become the butt of peoples jokes. I hope Tina Turner continues to live a peaceful life. She has endure so much and has been a trailblazer. Her documentary was amazing.
*shouldnt
The world is really cruel to women, it’s truly sad.
I really respect that Tina doesn’t glamourise anything she’s been through and is quite frank about how terrible that was for her. Even being as honest in saying she has known so little love and so much pain in her life and that she doesn’t feel any of it was worth it. There is no happy ever after or glazing over the past for her, sometimes life is just cruel.
It is.
Humans mete out terrible punishment to each other on on all levels and create hell on earth politically, economically, emotionally environmentally, financially, personally, historically etc
There for the Grace of God go we
Sadly yes
The world is even more cruel to men, but mass media won't say it in this decade, maybe in the next.
Once again, this is what I love about honest. He’s young, but he has an obvious appreciation for music eras from the past.
Jay Z's verse on drunk in love was genuinely the worst. Why would someone even write that?
I dunno, maybe Will Smith had a point with rappers.
Maybe Jay-z was being passive aggressive with Beyonce as he knew she was a big Tina Turner fan.
@@falconeshield What was his point?
That song is disgusting. Tina didn’t have to dive into such filth. Jay Z is a nasty ass punk.
Yeah I always cringed at that line.
The media constantly reduces black artist, mostly women down to shit they dealt with.
It doesn't help that Tina consistently has exploited her own pain for profits. She has releases books, a musical, a movie and documentary. She has been talking about her relationship with Ike for almost 40 years and they divorced in 1978.
@@tonicarter1322 you didn’t watch the video
yup!
@@niceasf7038 right cuz ppl keep asking her about him in every interview 🤨
@@tonicarter1322 u clearly didn’t watch the video 🤨
I learned that Tina’s blond big hair was a wig that she made herself! She put alot effort into making it look natural. She new as a star she needed a signature look! She’s definitely the blueprint for a certain celebrity everyone knows and loves
The fact Tina had the option to sell the rights to her music based on her previous issues with ike is incredible and to be given 50 million for your iconic work is even more incredible. It's great that she found a man who loved her so much he gave her a kidney.
Really love her…. For everything…. The music, the voice, the presence, the dance…. And for everything she represents… She is REALLY an INCON…. For me, she is a rebellion and showed that music has no boundaries….
My grandma had me watch the What’s Love movie because she has also been through an abusive marriage in her past. I was so young, too young to be watching it lol but I’ve always seen her as a huge inspiration growing up. She is so much more than what she’s been through and it doesn’t define her, just like my grandma. 💕
I agree. It was propably a must watch for all black kids lol. I’m glad that my grandma did this. I can know understand the history anc importance of this legend!
I watched 'What's love got to do with it' with my Grandma too 🙏🙏
The amount of struggles this woman has gone through her life time yet the way she still continued to be this successful is astonishing!
Interviewers constantly retraumatized her with no regard about what that would do to her. That’s super fucked up.
8:08 how can anyone NOT look at this picture of her and not smile after all the challenges she went thru.
So we’ll deserved. Truly an Icon.
It’s disgusting how those artists took such a traumatic moment in Tina’s life and try to romanticise it in their music. Queen Tina deserved so much better.
I absolutely have a problem with how music industry (moreso black music industry) handles the legacies of black women. Everyone refers to abuse, bad contracts, drugs, incidents, etc. with notable black powerhouse singers like Tami Terrell, Whitney Houston, Michel’le, Janet Jackson, and so on. But for some reason the folks making tacky jokes still sampling them…..:/
Want the blueprint and then trample all over the blueprint oh the jealousy cos when we bw shine we really really shine
Yep, now it's little better. @@Danniidude
Big props for making this video and calling the abuse for what is actually is… ABUSE. Not something to be sensationalized and used as a continuous tool to dehumanize for some catchy lyrics or the media to recycle.
Tina will forever be an icon. No one deserves to be treated how Ike treated her. She really broke down age barriers with Private Dancer ❤
And race barriers as well. Fantastic!
Tina admitting that the bad outweighed the good in her life broke my heart. I feel terrible for her.
We should've given love back
RIP Tina. You deserved more.
At least she found real love
She did not say that. That statement was made when she was still married to Ike. She was a star but her real life was a nightmare.
She was happy in the second half of her life.
Very Ironic that Chris Brown mentioned Ike beating Tina. I hope when he referenced that it was before he viscously beat Rihanna.
Nope it was two years after :/
@@BryanBMusicYou’re kidding.
@@BryanBMusic I don't curse but wtf.
ThT was Kevin McCall that said that but still
@@shutit4024 oh.
The fact that Honest didn't use background music just makes this vid more uncomfortable than it already is. I read Tina's story years ago after watching what's love got to do with it. She went through this mess during the Golden age of racism and sexism. I'm happy that Tina overcame it all and I'm glad she's happy. The sht she dealt with during and after Ike makes you appreciate her strength
A real icon I didn't know much about this until I grew up watching "What's Love Got To Do With It." I truly enjoy her music and I'm glad she is happy now.
It's so sad how the entire industry and society was so insensitive to her trauma,
All young girls (and young boys) need to be SERIOUSLY a taught about abusive, narcissistic, mentally unstable human behavior…. In raw detail and with current and past examples. The lessons should begin arnd 11 or 12 years old. Between 13-15 they may stop actively listening, but shld be taught anyway.
Agreed completely
Beyonce and Jay Z are weird asf for that part in Drunk in Love
Girl stfu. It wasn’t Beys intent to hurt or disrespect her.
@@ozzyu6684 She still could have made him take it out..
I don't understand why beyonce is being thrown under the bus it was Jay's line not her line
@@jaycrews3707 exactly bestie
@@jaycrews3707 Because it was HER song. She could have send the verse back to him.
Coming back to this after she's passed away. A true legend
No wonder she moved to Europe. She is a truly talented and extraordinary lady. "Recovering" from this "stuff" is very very very difficult. Bless you 🙏❤️
I think male interviewers were confused at how a woman could get the snot beat out of her and yet seem so put together and positive so she was a curiosity to them...she still stood strong through all that analysis...love her for that...such an example of grace under pressure!!
My heart goes out to this legendary woman. She deserves a heartfelt apology from everyone who negatively referenced her relationship in their songs. I feel sick to my stomach after watching this.
So sad that she passed today 😢
Thank you for doing a video on Tina Turner. She's an indisputable legend and should be better known among our generation. She's simply the best 🧡
Tina Tuner is such a beautiful soul that just wanted to be loved, Tina your fans love you so much and you are a THE Queen of rock & roll , living legend and and icon. I hope artists stop using her in songs on her past abuse and just have more respect.
Gina's abuse shown in the show Bojack Horseman is suspiciously similar.
Please do more videos like this about older artists! Younger people need to know their greatness and importance.
People’s lack of empathy for the abuse Tina survived is just so telling of them. And let’s not forget people tried to do that with Rihanna. But luckily for her, it happened in a different time and she was able to have a backing that reprimanded anyone who tried to use her abuse for jokes. Unfortunately Tina did not have that.
The misogynoir Tina experienced in her personal life and as a legendary artist exposes society’s apathy and amusement in Black women’s pain.
I hope Tina continues to be cared for and I’m happy she has a partner who loves her. I’m also happy she left America.
You made some Great statements and I did like when you accurately described how unprofessional the interviewers and media were and state how Ike is Not Tina Turners story but part of her story she had to overcome
Wow I never realized how bad the media was with her, thank you for making this. I also didn't realize how many people put a reference into their songs, like I was so disgusted with Jay-z and frustrated with Beyonce for putting that line into Drunk in Love, but I didn't realize it was so popular to do so...like even Common and Alicia Keys did it? That's disappointing, Tina definitely deserved/deserves more respect.
But Beyoncé says she "loves" Tina Turner😢
I didn’t expect this, but I enjoyed it a lot. I liked how Tina was able to get out of that situation, and later find someone who cherished her for her. She has gone through so much, and is lucky in that sense. Nevertheless, I wish that what she went through didn’t have so much power to overshadow her good body of work at times. I enjoy and have great interest in watching documentaries/mini-documentaries on music stars who reigned in previous decades. I hope you create more videos like this in the future. ☺️❤️
A video hasn’t moved me like this in a long time. Tina is an ICON.
Tina Turner is a pioneer for female artistry and overcoming adversity. So many females today have her to thank for their careers,including legends that came after Tina. She's simply *The Best!*
It's so sad how unprofessional journalists disrespected Tina. She did so much more when she got away from Ike. It just shows how American culture is so disrespectful of women and the abuse many women suffer.
British culture is the same and probably worse.
love these documentary type videos, really gives me such good insight on these legend female stars !!
I love how different you and your brothers content is I get the best of both worlds pop here and hip hop there....🙏🏾

Thank you for making a video about her. At times it does feel like her legacy is forgotten and many times dismissed but vids like this show a different side of the story. Big fan keep up the vids!!!
I was today years old when I realized Tina’s also from Memphis! Nutbush is a neighborhood in Memphis, and a dangerous neighborhood too 😬. I grew up around that area and heard the name Anna Mae a lot but thought it was a character from a tv show at the time. 😂
Tina was recently inducted to the Memphis Musicians Hall of Fame. 🙂
It’s funny because if they were songs written in reference to Chris brown and Rihanna’s relationship. It would be shamed!
Tina has been through so much, what a strong incredible woman. I hope that she is okay
I honestly think that people make the mistake of thinking that the world around Tina cared more about the abuse than her influence. Truthfully, most people’s think of Tina the her talent, music, the strength she showed rebuilding her career. The abuse is important to people because it shows her as a survivor. Americans love a good heroine story. Woman overcomes horrible situation and rebuilds herself bigger and better than before.
With this said, I acknowledge the taunting about her past from people joking about it was rude, and have never liked those jokes. But I don’t agree that the abuse overshadowed her influence. Most people remember her for what they learned from her career than merely the abuse.
Celebrities tea and scandals during 60's - 80's kinda Wild and extreme compare to artist issues nowadays 😅 especially in -MOTOWN- 👀
I’m so sad no one ever recommended therapy to her. She deserves inner relief and content. I pray her soul is jubilant and healed while she’s on this earth. She deserves that much.
She became a Buddhist and meditated and chanted. This helped her greatly, she said.
Rest In Power, Queen Tina. 💃
Thank you for this respectful documentary. Towards the end of her life she stated about her life that, “the bad outweighed the good”. No surprise. Anyone who has had a traumatic childhood and or abusive partner knows you never completely heal … and cannot find the spirit she did to do what was in heart to do what she loved doing best. Such a courageous woman of color will never be forgotten. May she rest in peace and love. We love you Tina forever.
And didn't both her biological sons die before her? That must be the greatest sadness of all, having to bury your children.
Tina faced so much struggles. It's so sad.
Is it me or is it the same as people always remind successful women of their "womenly" duties or lack there of instead of what they are actually there for to be interviewed for their successes
Some people are trash man. Just pure evil, ignorance and cruel. They kept reminding her of her darkest moments but ignored her sucess and breakthroughs. It easy to say why doesn't she say she doesn't want to to talk about it anymore because I thought that too but sometimes we feel pressured to do something. We tend to do alot of things out of fear. It takes something really powerful to help you live a full life on earth because people alone will, if you let them, drive you insane or 6ft under. I'm glad she's still with us and you told her story wonderfully.
Such a talented amazing female of empowerment. I always love hearing about her journey and growth.
9:35 - SOUNDS LIKE HOW *WHITNEY HOUSTON* SPEAKS IN INTERVIEWS.
You always come up with such good topics to talk about. I love that!
I’ve come to think that society hates women. We endure so much in this life. Tina Turner is a legend and she really did help so many women out. Blessings her way.
I've always known it.
Society hates men as well (draft, conscription, bashing male femininity).
Can't wait for another black rock artist like Tina.
Tina the GOAT! Born in 88 my mom raised me on her music and several other icons like her
As a pure Aretha fan, and yes, I must add that. Ms. Turner (here in the states) a TERRIBLY underrated artist, was a story of achievement in a genre not typicality associated with black audiences. She was a great queen in her OWN right.
I read that there were ongoing feuds between Tina and Aretha..feuds that the Public did not know about, only the whole Beyonce calling Tina a Queen and that pissed Aretha off but there were other behind the scenes feuds that allegedly they had..more with Aretha pushing the feud than Tina .. allegedly. I don't know if you've ever watched the 1993 Essence Awards..both Tina and Aretha were honored that night and both attended the ceremony and won awards. They were seated next to each other in opposite rows but still next to each other...I sorta think they were seated next to each other deliberately by the producers as a way to begin to bury the hatchet.. unfortunately I don't think they ever did 😢
@@ssaalleessuukkaa1 I'm not sure what the beef between them was about. Maybe because they were both exceptional in different ways, in different markets and probably wouldn't "cow tow" to the other. Either way, I wish they would have worked together on something in the 80s. I'll definitely give that award show a look.
@@newblue2468 one of the feuds was allegedly over Ike Turner...
I’m 21, and I’ve only ever heard about Tina Turner’s success in the music industry, so hopefully this is a sign that she has finally escaped the abuse victim label.
That's because it effects the structure of the brain. Its really profound in children who have suffered abuse. You can see this in brain scans
Fitting this would pop up in light of the recent news 🕊️
Dude, you made me cry. Like, twice! Well played.
SHE’S A LEGEND! It’s time for a Tina Turner Renaissance.
We miss u Tina already ❤ what wonderful women she is n the beautiful smile
Please make more videos like this 🙏✨ I love hearing about icons and their stories
I’m so pleased you brought this up. It makes me sick the way people keep bringing it up
She is a Legend n a Hero. Rest In Peace Queen of Rock n Roll. Peace be with the family n her husband.
Honest should do more music history videos like this so insightful
I thought I could get through this without crying but I was wrong. ❤❤❤ Tina!
Your videos are always so well-researched and insightful. A pleasure to watch. Thank you for educating me on an artist I've always loved but knew relatively little of!
I always felt uncomfortable with Jay z's line in Beyoncé's drunk in love....
What a legend Tina is, and I’m happy I’ve discover more and more of her during these past years. She not only left an abusive relationship: she thrived and became a massive star on her own ❤️ and to those artist who used her relationship as a lyric, please do better. It’s frankly disgusting reading some of them, dv is NOT a joke or something you can sing lightly
The line in Alicia’s song and Drunk in Love are in especially poor taste. I love Alicia and Bey so I expect better from them particularly since they both claim to be feminists.
was Whitney a huge fan of Tina? I feel like she was inspiration for a lot of Whitney's looks
Thank you for this insightful and important take. I’ve been screaming this from the rooftops for so long as she’s my biggest influence. I’m working on a project about her now and hope to speak with you
what a strong woman!
The editing style is really nice
RIP Tina, The Queen of Rock N Roll and Inspiration to many
You really did her justice !! Thank you for this …❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽
I love that u did this before she passed. Great video
Yeah
i have so much respect for this artist! love tina turner
This was amazing to watch.
I love how far makeup has come for women of the darker persuasion 🤲🏾🙏🏾❤️
The one true legend. She is a true role model.
Rest In Paradise Tina ☮️🩷🖤💙🕯
One of my favorite movies is what’s love got to do with it her career isn’t really talked about in my experience my grandma loves her songs
This may be off topic but I still can't find videos of Tina mentioning, praising or performing with any diva besides of Cher and Beyonce. She witnessed so many icons during her carrier (Donna, Aretha, Patti, Barbara,Chaka) and never seen interacting with any of them. Looks like Tina was out of the party and being on her own.
Tina is an absolute icon, a legend, and a champion for many especially women and the LGBT community who could truly relate to her struggles but even then, her music and story are so universal and her strength transcends backgrounds because of how painfully human it is.
Ms. Tina Turner, the QUEEN of Rock & Roll
