It's annoying being a parent who takes FULL RESPONSIBILITY having to negotiate with the other parent that does absolutely NOTHING! get the papers Mariah
@@RexBanner_ Here’s a better solution, be a better human being. Don’t have multiple kids with several woman to the point where it becomes overwhelming and you neglect your fatherly duties. It’s not a good look. All that money and still no class and zero morals. Yikes!!
Agree with you Q about Eddie Murphy in serious roles. My father was dying from cancer (unbeknownst to me) and suggested that I watch Eddie's movie, Mr. Church. An excellent movie that I will hold dearly in my heart forever. Another great show!
He got that hand gesture from Nene's failed show with those young gay boys.😂😂😂 They introduced her by doing that hand gesture, and Funky made fun of it from that day on. It was too funny!
Claudia made my heart melt because I sincerely felt her heart regarding her family. I could see her eyes. I'm an Aries as well. We have to be strong all the time. But I wanted to hug her. I needed a hug today as well.
@@Even_Stephens I’m sorry to hear that. Maybe someday she may have a change of heart. But I commend you for taking that step. It was quite brave of you. I’m sorry though it didn’t have a better outcome. ❤
Shout out to Claudia for being vulnerable tonight. Everyone complains that she rarely shares her personal business. Thank u Claudia and hopefully u find your sister. 🖤
When my brother passed away he didn’t have a life insurance policy. I paid $900.00 for the cremation, $500.00 for the memorial services and other miscellaneous expenses like the urn, the flowers, photo of him etc.. Less than $2,000.00 in total.
Girl, me too! Us black folks LOVE to put money into the ground that we don’t have. It’s ridiculous! You can do something nice for way less. My brother’s cremation was less than $1,000, programs were $600, and they were the large size with 6 pages, and the funeral home was only $600 to use for 4 hrs and they even donated some flowers, and had the easel for his photo! It was beautiful! The repass was at park and people donated food.
@@avybrown7956 That’s actually not an expensive funeral! Have you ever buried someone? Obviously not. Had she had a casket and body along with a burial plot, it would’ve doubled!
And Ms Kaor is the CFO of her household so she knew what she was doing by not handing the money to his family directly. That sis needs to have several seats!
Exactly. That's the ONLY reason that girl is mad and ungrateful. She thought money would be put in her hand from them. She probably had fake receipts and everything for that fake 60K that nobody spent on cremation and a funeral.
You're on point. I have certain people in my life I don't mind helping. If they come to me it's a real need. Because I don't put the money in their hands. I get account info.

I just sold my insurance agency and I can't tell yall the number of people that are completely careless and misinformed. We'll spend $700/mo on a damn Benz, but scoff at $150/mo for a $100K whole life policy. I will never understand!
@Benita Renee That's great. The death benefit determines the price as well as your age and health. I'm speaking on my professional experience with the average client.
@Go With The Flow These people are 55+ along with pre existing health conditions. The PEHC is usually table rated meaning that there is a surcharge based on your condition ie HBP, diabetes, heart disease etc. So you're correct... These aren't young healthy people. These are closer to retirement clients.
I wonder if aside from Nick’s money, some of those women like the clout of saying their child is half siblings with Mariah Carey’s children. So I can understand Funky’s point.
Mariah is right because she is in a different level and Nick has forced his new families into her life. When hee children are 18 they can decide for themselves...
With which comment? Nick Cannon, Eddie Murphy, White adjacent Rupaul & Billy Porter etc., or dragging haters on the red carpet that wouldn't talk to Al? He on fire, 🔥 per usual.
10k is better than 0k. If you want an extravagant funeral, get a LIFE INSURANCE POLICY. a basic funeral is approximately 15k. Its no one else's responsibility to bury your family member.
@@frankiecarter9430 its almost like they weren't taught. Its an investment....into yourself! I think I have 2-3 policies on myself. Each enough to bury me, with money to leave for people.
So do I. I feel like she really opened her heart ❤️ I have siblings I've never met. This is probably pretty common w these Daddys w so many children. 🤣
I say this over and over, I love Funky! He stays in his truth, speaks the truth, unapologetically. And he says what everyone is thinking, but are afraid to say. Or should I say, he states the obvious.
It’s unfortunate for the kids, the decisions made by daddy Nick. My father have 11 children with different baby mothers, and most of us didn’t meet or were not aware of each other until a few years ago and I’m in my 50’s. I’m glad I was able to meet and get to know each of them. We try to keep in touch via our family chat. It’s also important to know who your siblings are, so you don’t end up in a relationship with one of them.
If the public knows who Nick Cannon's children are, I'm sure the kids themselves will know as well. Because Nick Cannon shares his personal life with the public all the time.
I'm 43, my father has somewhere between 17 and 20 kids. He sadly just passed in October 😞. I'm close to some of them, some I've known my entire life. And some I've never met. It really doesn't bother me. 🤷🏾♀️

@@TomikaKelly that girl thought he was going to send cash money to that family. She lied too many times they didn't spend 60k to bury that man. She thought her brother's death was going to be her come up from Gucci.
White men treat you better than your own. I’m talking about the times now not back in the day. I think more black people need to explore and stop this stupid debate about who should love who.
Thanks for being vulnerable about the situation with your sister, Claudia. I have a whole live ass sister that hasn’t spoken to me in almost 28 years and my family has been ok with it. Family is everything and I hope you find her
It really does make you re-evaluate when it hits close to home. I totally agree with Funky. It's heartbreaking having someone you love going through so much and then hosed like a zoo animal!
I wouldn’t care what color either one of them was his actions were unacceptable. Homeless people get treated like trash by most people, and it’s sad. It’s a city that’s about a hour from me that took a abandoned Super 8 and made it a homeless shelter. Im like why can’t more places do that. Like Funky said most people aren’t homeless because they just wanna be, hell life happens.
@Montice stop gaslighting please. White men by and large have gotten away with treating BLACK WOMEN like garbage since slavery. They are never held accountable because black women are not treated as women.
@Montice There is a level of racial violence that white men have inflicted on black women since slavery. This is based on historical analysis. I remember seeing a video of a white cop beating up a homeless black woman like she was a man on the side of a highway in California.
@@ASprinkleofAnime I don’t know where you get gas lighting from nor am I trying to negate the fact that she’s a black woman. I’m saying as a human being if I was walking down the street and I seen a person hosing a homeless person down, the first color I would see is red. Watching the snip I ain’t know she was black till Al said it and I was more pissed, but I was mad from the jump. I love the fact that “Protect black women” is as the forefront now, but that doesn’t mean I can’t say any homeless person shouldn’t be treated that way if that’s how I feel. It’s not gas lighting it’s my initial feelings and opinion.
@@yobiwolrd07 yea that's true and all but I am quite sure Mariah thought they were going to be together forever! Sometimes you don't know what folks are capable of despite choosing the "right man"
I agree! And what mother wants the pressure of getting together with the other kids moms, pretending to like them just because their kids are siblings? That'll be a ft job with overtime but no pay. Plus all the other kids are babies. Mariah kids too old for them. If they want to meet them they can do it when their 18 and can make that decision for themselves. It's just too many kids and Mariah should try to get full custody because Nick clearly has mental issues.
Meee tooo I have an absentee father but I know he has kids all over and as a kid I felt in a way. I remember meeting my half sister and I was like she ugly! 😂😂😂😂 please I was a kid at the time so don’t come for me..❤❤❤❤
Hey SoulMates heyyy! I love y’all 3 together, you all are the best trio online 💜. I always enjoy watching the show - S/O to FoxSoul for this platform and Claudia I wish you luck on meeting your sister🤞🏽
I love yal! The dialogue was dialoguing. I went to the kitchen halfway through the show and made me a drank! 🍸😂 Thank you guys for being so amazing. Yal make my days. I anticipate watching the show. Happy New Year! 🙏🏾💕 👌🏾❤
Look! 🥺 The way Claudia so beautifully with transparency let that family situation rip touched my entire soul! Baby girl does not need therapy for letting go of what she didn’t create. Praying for her family to grow🙏🏽
There is a difference between a sibling in name and a sibling in relationship. And just like it's difficult to parent numerous children (especially if they're outside the home) well, it is difficult to maintain close, sincere relationships with numerous siblings - especially "half" siblings that are related through one parent.
I appreciate that explanation about why joint custody could be problematic if a parent doesn’t have time to contribute. I was actually thinking that taking away custody would aggravate the neglect, which it might, but I definitely did not have the perspective of her being able to make timely, important decisions.
Yes as in she can't take them on vacation outta the country without his permission. And the fact she initiated the divorce makes for a bitter baby daddy 😂
@SUBMISSIVE PROVIDERS TBOTH! Nick is far from bitter. Mariah was/is used to dating men without the level of celebrity that she has. The men she dates are able to travel with her and be at her beck and call. Her major issue with Nick was he was too busy and spent a lot of time away from home due to work. It was fine until they had children, and that didn't change. This custody decision isn't about bitterness on either end. It just establishes who can make decisions on behalf of the children.
@@nia4842 Nick has publicly said many times that he wanted Mariah back and wish he was a better husband to her. I don't think he's bitter either but something is clearly mentally wrong with him.
@BeautybyLatrelle LLC I don't think it's a mental issue. Nick is sane. I think Nick is practicing polygamy without calling it that, hence the women not coming at each other. He's been very upfront on not getting married again or being in a conventional relationship well before the other children were involved so the women know what it is. I also think it's spiritual (making babies) for him, hence the turban. I also don't think Mariah's decision to file for primary custody has anything to do with the other children. I think it's strictly about her being able to solely make decisions for them and getting it on paper. I don't think he'll contest it unless her decisions affect him financially (not even that) or affect his ability to see him. They don't talk bad about each other with her saying they could've worked. I think they jumped in too fast. They married only 6 weeks after knowing each other. I don't think either makes moves based on bitterness.
My ex husband barely sees our daughter but we have joint custody. He refused to sign permission for my daughter to get a passport. There was no valid reason he just was being vindictive. So i had to wait til she turned 16. Full custody is the way to go.
Al, you are my favorite on the panel. Always remember that you can do whatever you want to do! You have the look, knowledge, and charisma. Good luck on your future endeavors 🥰
Claudia you touched me when you talked about your sister. My dad is the same way. It seems like the last few years a new sibling has popped up and my mom apologized to me because she felt so bad. I understand the pain of wanting to connect but it's almost like your siblings are strangers. I hope you guys can reconnect soon.
I wouldn't keep my kids away from their siblings, but I feel like Mariah has nothing to be embarrassed about. She was THE WIFE and not one of the 10 BMs. She has nothing to do with that circuis.
I get that, but I wouldn't want to be a part of that circus show. Since most of those kids are young, I still think Mariah's will give them the opportunity when older to see their siblings. But Mariah isn't obligated to deal with Nick's recklessness.
@@torybias9564 agreed. That’s A LOT to deal with realistically. She didn’t sign up for that, nor does she have to put her kids through all that madness just so they can get to know their siblings. That doesn’t even sound fun, traveling from city to city to meet and get to know a billion siblings in broken homes with moms with a few screws loose. Nah, y’all can get to know each other through Skype and on your own accord when you’re teens or adults.
@@torybias9564 but there not together why keep siblings away from each other? My husband has a son his mom had 3 kids by to different men. She lives in a different state they was not together for year's. Then I came had a son named him after his father. She is so mad her son loves me but my son and her son has no realaship. And my son is special needs 💙 he needs his big brother. It's always the parents who mess up everything keeping siblings away from each other is so evil and selfish
CLAUDIA, please please don't feel bad that you don't have a big family around the holidays. Trust me big families come with SO much stress, expectations and demands. All you can do is make happy memories with the ones you have!!!! You heard that your sister looks like you I hope you find her and we get to meet her that would be cool!!
I am glad my immediate family is small indeed. I don't want the hassle or aggravation of a big family. Hopefully I don't date someone who comes from a big family and are demanding of obligatory commitments to always attend as such.
You can cremate a loved one and pay for the urn to go into a Mausoleum space. We did that for my dad...on another note, how and why was the funeral 60k? Utterly outlandish. Where was the life insurance policy? We have to do better.
The Golden Globes were AMAZING! Regina Hall really needs to host the next one! She was literally lit in both senses of the word! I know which director Al is speaking of and it’s so unfortunate. If Viola Davis can greet Fox Soul with a smile and conversation, why can’t he? He’s not above board. SMH. I was searching on your behalf, Claudia. I hope you were able to find your sister 🙏🏽 I went to a family friend’s mom’s funeral and her ashes were in an urn and were placed in a mausoleum. Yes, life insurance is very much needed. If anyone needs a policy, let me know. Al always comes through with the minutia of details! Love it! Y’all are amazing! Thank you for the advice, great information, the laughs and the love!
Also, let’s think of the interracial couples who made some incredible people, i.e. Barack Obama, Tia and Tamera Mowry, Jurnee Smolett, and Claudia Jordan. Now if we’re talking about bad intentions, that’s something entirely different.
You can't even get a passport for a minor without both parents' signatures. Also, in some states (Georgia for sure) if you don't have full legal custody and something happens to the parent, the children could go to foster care. People really don't understand how much drama could ensue when they don't have the proper legal documentation.
Ale I was watching one of those shows Claudia was talking about and I heard your voice narrating. You have a very distinguished narrating voice and loved it. ❤️
I wouldn’t write Ryan Coogler off completely …he made it clear he was hesitant on even showing up, but wanted to support Angela Bassett. He said that’s the only reason he was there…for her. His demeanor in the audience kind of showed that also.
Yes, he one of a few people I wouldn’t judge on a singular incident like this. His demeanor and approach to media in general is very tailored. He likely was just there to support Thee Angela Bassett.
If something happens to either of Mariah’s children, all those children are their next of kin. She may be securing the Twins financial future and her own generational legacy by gaining full custody .
Q that was a good point about Mariah and Nick's custody situation. You do have to consider how it effects the kids knowing they have all of those siblings spread all over the place.
Ryan Coogler is a person who doesn’t give interviews unless it’s to do with a launch of a film, he doesn’t even have social media but sadly a number of blogs don’t help black media reputation but you guys are good! Happy Angela Bassett won - yes I guessed too 🤣. Y’all make my day here in the 🇬🇧 when it’s been a tough one especially like today. Funky I removed myself from the other kid as a child with a Father that went wild after I was born, it gets traumatic when the kids starting asking why you get this and we don’t get that?! I also have siblings I don’t know and sadly I can’t go there for my mental health. I’m in therapy right now and have so much peace with it all, you should do it Claudia too - IEMT and EMDR are the best for trauma.
Instead of preparing for death which is going to happen to everyone, people prefer to wait until it happens and then do a GoFundMe ( back in the days go around the projects shaking a can). If any of my family members don't have insurance then there won't be a funeral and I've instructed my children that I do not want a funeral. ALL my money is for them to better their lives.
OMG! Koodos to Claudia for giving Al her honest opinion about his tuxedo. I personally hated the baggy Bermuda shorts paired with the fitted tails. It made his legs look awkward and super skinny. On another note, Claudia should consider a short, sleek haircut. She looked so gorgeous, and her cheekbones were popping with her hair pulled back.
I know of a crematory that cremates for only $1,000 here in Cali. I think it’s preposterous to pay that much for a funeral!! My family already knows to cremate me at the $1,000 place, throw a memorial service at Colonial Chapel which only charges $600 for the service AND the provide some flowers, obituaries and that’s how you plan a funeral for less than $1,000.
i love AL, but he was closeted himself for a long time. i’m a black gay man in a major city and it’s very hard to find OUT successful black gay men. we can blame the homophobia and the church in our community for that, it’s scary to come out, u think u may lose your family, etc. so some grace is needed and i’m happy when any black gay man finds love
Billy Porter wore that tuxedo dress because he was asked by Ryan Murphy to wear it. I initially thought that Billy wearing big dresses was becoming gimmicky but Ryan Murphy literally asked him to wear the black one he wore a few years back but could not because that outfit is in a museum lol
Eddie Murphy was amazing in Mr. Church. Congratulations to Eddie Murphy. I love his three things you need to do, so you can survive in Hollyweird. Good for Mariah Carey to get custody of the children. Nick Cannon is too busy sticking and moving. Claudia, thanks for sharing your story about having a sister. I met mine 25 years ago, and it has been amazing. Blessings to you. You can take them out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of them. May Scarr rest in peace.🙄😳
Now, I watch the show Life After Lockup and I saw these episodes. I agree with Funky on this one, it's evident that she is making herself look like a Damn Fool. The entire situation is grossly pathetic.
Once again pick on the black woman. This show has been on for years not one word about all the other men and woman who have been used. Whose looks were not up to someone standards. Why come for Monique. I'll wait
Since you watch, did you also believe she was “tired” when he wanted to go to the casino because she just blew 500 in dinner and knew he would have went through way more and instead of saying she wasn’t getting more money out of the atm sis claimed she was tired?
@latosha johnson Ive also said the same about other cast members. She not the only with a prison bae who came and used them. He said nothing about Deontae or Chaz and Branwen Shawn and Destiny.
Baby I love the way Al goes up for US!! Love you black king 🖤

Why in the world would you spend $60,000 for a funeral? If you don't appreciate the $10,000 contribution GIVE IT BACK!
Who would spend 60k on funeral! Funky hit it on a head!! Say it again Funky
As someone who has planned a funeral, I think she's full of 💩
She was a straight up tackhead for saying that😒
If Gucci gave $20,000 why not tailor the funeral to that cost
Greattttttt show guys❤️❤️❤️ congrats to Al on his red carpet Golden Globe hosting, just awesome, just another amazing show👌👍👏
It’s not Gucci’s responsibility to pay for anyone’s funeral
Right! I was like, did Gucci kill him why the sister feels like he should be responsible for her brother's entire funeral? 🤔
@@TomikaKelly that girl thought he was going to send cash money to that family. She lied too many times they didn't spend 60k to bury that man. She thought her brother's death was going to be her come up from Gucci.
White men treat you better than your own. I’m talking about the times now not back in the day. I think more black people need to explore and stop this stupid debate about who should love who.
She is an idiot.!!!! A museum.. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Dumbass
Eddie was phenomenal in Dreamgirls! Jimmy Got Jimmy Got Jimmy Got SOOUUULL 😭
🤣🤣🤣
He was...
and he was cheated out of his Oscar too!
Thanks for being vulnerable about the situation with your sister, Claudia. I have a whole live ass sister that hasn’t spoken to me in almost 28 years and my family has been ok with it. Family is everything and I hope you find her
It really does make you re-evaluate when it hits close to home. I totally agree with Funky. It's heartbreaking having someone you love going through so much and then hosed like a zoo animal!
He actually made me rethink how I feel about homeless men/women
Specially be i have a a few members with mental disabilities
That white man spraying that helpless black woman is about disgusting. I'm so angry that I'm shaking and holding back tears. Uuggh!!
I wouldn’t care what color either one of them was his actions were unacceptable. Homeless people get treated like trash by most people, and it’s sad. It’s a city that’s about a hour from me that took a abandoned Super 8 and made it a homeless shelter. Im like why can’t more places do that. Like Funky said most people aren’t homeless because they just wanna be, hell life happens.
@Montice stop gaslighting please. White men by and large have gotten away with treating BLACK WOMEN like garbage since slavery. They are never held accountable because black women are not treated as women.
@Montice There is a level of racial violence that white men have inflicted on black women since slavery. This is based on historical analysis. I remember seeing a video of a white cop beating up a homeless black woman like she was a man on the side of a highway in California.
When he saw the person who dumped water on a homeless woman he was going to do it better smh just wrong
@@ASprinkleofAnime I don’t know where you get gas lighting from nor am I trying to negate the fact that she’s a black woman. I’m saying as a human being if I was walking down the street and I seen a person hosing a homeless person down, the first color I would see is red. Watching the snip I ain’t know she was black till Al said it and I was more pissed, but I was mad from the jump. I love the fact that “Protect black women” is as the forefront now, but that doesn’t mean I can’t say any homeless person shouldn’t be treated that way if that’s how I feel. It’s not gas lighting it’s my initial feelings and opinion.
Jiminy Cricket realness 😂😂😂😂 I hollered! Funky is hilarious.
I'm with you Funky, no I would not want my children involved with the circus kids 😂
That's why you choose the right Man. That's what Woman fail to relize! Choose wrong and this is what happens
@@yobiwolrd07 yea that's true and all but I am quite sure Mariah thought they were going to be together forever! Sometimes you don't know what folks are capable of despite choosing the "right man"
I agree! And what mother wants the pressure of getting together with the other kids moms, pretending to like them just because their kids are siblings? That'll be a ft job with overtime but no pay. Plus all the other kids are babies. Mariah kids too old for them. If they want to meet them they can do it when their 18 and can make that decision for themselves. It's just too many kids and Mariah should try to get full custody because Nick clearly has mental issues.
Meee tooo I have an absentee father but I know he has kids all over and as a kid I felt in a way. I remember meeting my half sister and I was like she ugly! 😂😂😂😂 please I was a kid at the time so don’t come for me..❤❤❤❤
I think that statement is very childish & IMMATURE.🙆🏽♂️
I love that Al aways leads with kindness!
Funkys "don't talk to me" face is so cute 😅
Hey SoulMates heyyy! I love y’all 3 together, you all are the best trio online 💜. I always enjoy watching the show - S/O to FoxSoul for this platform and Claudia I wish you luck on meeting your sister🤞🏽
Funky hit the nail on the head regarding homelessness and mental illness. Thank you for stressing that point. ❤ 🙏🏾
I love yal! The dialogue was dialoguing. I went to the kitchen halfway through the show and made me a drank! 🍸😂 Thank you guys for being so amazing. Yal make my days. I anticipate watching the show. Happy New Year! 🙏🏾💕 👌🏾❤
Not Al giving Jiminy Cricket realness😂
Im just love Al's compassion and respect him more and more...👍❤
Good one, Al! “He’s a white lady” 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣❤
That was hilaaaaarious
Funky is disgusting! He is not a white lady. They're better than him.
Look! 🥺 The way Claudia so beautifully with transparency let that family situation rip touched my entire soul! Baby girl does not need therapy for letting go of what she didn’t create. Praying for her family to grow🙏🏽
Al's red-carpet look was subtle amazement. Bravo Sir.
There is a difference between a sibling in name and a sibling in relationship. And just like it's difficult to parent numerous children (especially if they're outside the home) well, it is difficult to maintain close, sincere relationships with numerous siblings - especially "half" siblings that are related through one parent.
I appreciate that explanation about why joint custody could be problematic if a parent doesn’t have time to contribute. I was actually thinking that taking away custody would aggravate the neglect, which it might, but I definitely did not have the perspective of her being able to make timely, important decisions.
Yes as in she can't take them on vacation outta the country without his permission. And the fact she initiated the divorce makes for a bitter baby daddy 😂
@SUBMISSIVE PROVIDERS TBOTH! Nick is far from bitter. Mariah was/is used to dating men without the level of celebrity that she has. The men she dates are able to travel with her and be at her beck and call. Her major issue with Nick was he was too busy and spent a lot of time away from home due to work. It was fine until they had children, and that didn't change. This custody decision isn't about bitterness on either end. It just establishes who can make decisions on behalf of the children.
@@nia4842 Nick has publicly said many times that he wanted Mariah back and wish he was a better husband to her. I don't think he's bitter either but something is clearly mentally wrong with him.
@BeautybyLatrelle LLC I don't think it's a mental issue. Nick is sane. I think Nick is practicing polygamy without calling it that, hence the women not coming at each other. He's been very upfront on not getting married again or being in a conventional relationship well before the other children were involved so the women know what it is. I also think it's spiritual (making babies) for him, hence the turban. I also don't think Mariah's decision to file for primary custody has anything to do with the other children. I think it's strictly about her being able to solely make decisions for them and getting it on paper. I don't think he'll contest it unless her decisions affect him financially (not even that) or affect his ability to see him. They don't talk bad about each other with her saying they could've worked. I think they jumped in too fast. They married only 6 weeks after knowing each other. I don't think either makes moves based on bitterness.
My ex husband barely sees our daughter but we have joint custody. He refused to sign permission for my daughter to get a passport. There was no valid reason he just was being vindictive. So i had to wait til she turned 16. Full custody is the way to go.
Al, you are my favorite on the panel. Always remember that you can do whatever you want to do! You have the look, knowledge, and charisma. Good luck on your future endeavors 🥰
I love this trio the best!!!
All of you are so darn comical and real.
Keep up the great work
TEA- G-I-F!!! 👏🏼
Claudia you touched me when you talked about your sister. My dad is the same way. It seems like the last few years a new sibling has popped up and my mom apologized to me because she felt so bad. I understand the pain of wanting to connect but it's almost like your siblings are strangers. I hope you guys can reconnect soon.
I wouldn't keep my kids away from their siblings, but I feel like Mariah has nothing to be embarrassed about. She was THE WIFE and not one of the 10 BMs. She has nothing to do with that circuis.
I get that, but I wouldn't want to be a part of that circus show. Since most of those kids are young, I still think Mariah's will give them the opportunity when older to see their siblings. But Mariah isn't obligated to deal with Nick's recklessness.
@@torybias9564 agreed. That’s A LOT to deal with realistically. She didn’t sign up for that, nor does she have to put her kids through all that madness just so they can get to know their siblings. That doesn’t even sound fun, traveling from city to city to meet and get to know a billion siblings in broken homes with moms with a few screws loose. Nah, y’all can get to know each other through Skype and on your own accord when you’re teens or adults.
@@torybias9564 but there not together why keep siblings away from each other? My husband has a son his mom had 3 kids by to different men. She lives in a different state they was not together for year's. Then I came had a son named him after his father. She is so mad her son loves me but my son and her son has no realaship. And my son is special needs 💙 he needs his big brother. It's always the parents who mess up everything keeping siblings away from each other is so evil and selfish
She's in protective mode her kids may be getting teased by other children for their fathers actions🤷♀️
The title of Wife means what exactly? Looks at how ghetto their entire situation looks
I can't get enough of your show. You guys keep it real.
CLAUDIA, please please don't feel bad that you don't have a big family around the holidays. Trust me big families come with SO much stress, expectations and demands. All you can do is make happy memories with the ones you have!!!! You heard that your sister looks like you I hope you find her and we get to meet her that would be cool!!
Ditto. Big families are a lot.
during thanksgiving, christmas and new year I stay home by myself and stay unde rthe covers and cry. I have no family
@@daphneepaul3737 TH-cam Hugs indeed.
I am glad my immediate family is small indeed. I don't want the hassle or aggravation of a big family. Hopefully I don't date someone who comes from a big family and are demanding of obligatory commitments to always attend as such.
Angela Bassett, has a black husband
Preach Claudia!!! You are right about how people act when some people die.
Al was passionate. Funky was intellectual. I love when they both show different sides of their typical personalities. Bravo fellas
You guys are cold with it tonight and funny as hell the more I listen to you guys and show I love y'all
You can cremate a loved one and pay for the urn to go into a Mausoleum space. We did that for my dad...on another note, how and why was the funeral 60k? Utterly outlandish. Where was the life insurance policy? We have to do better.
She would have to show receipts to back up dat $60k claim. Ridiculous!😠
I think that's exactly why Gucci sent the money directly to the funeral home.
Funeral cost way too much. This isn’t an Obama.
Yall got Funky together real quick talking about Eddie Murphys past like he don't have one
Powder donuts
The Golden Globes were AMAZING! Regina Hall really needs to host the next one! She was literally lit in both senses of the word! I know which director Al is speaking of and it’s so unfortunate. If Viola Davis can greet Fox Soul with a smile and conversation, why can’t he? He’s not above board. SMH.
I was searching on your behalf, Claudia. I hope you were able to find your sister 🙏🏽
I went to a family friend’s mom’s funeral and her ashes were in an urn and were placed in a mausoleum. Yes, life insurance is very much needed. If anyone needs a policy, let me know.
Al always comes through with the minutia of details! Love it!
Y’all are amazing! Thank you for the advice, great information, the laughs and the love!
Also, let’s think of the interracial couples who made some incredible people, i.e. Barack Obama, Tia and Tamera Mowry, Jurnee Smolett, and Claudia Jordan. Now if we’re talking about bad intentions, that’s something entirely different.
I need insurance info. I have no illnesses and wish to be cremated when my time comes. 🙋🏽♀️
You can't even get a passport for a minor without both parents' signatures. Also, in some states (Georgia for sure) if you don't have full legal custody and something happens to the parent, the children could go to foster care. People really don't understand how much drama could ensue when they don't have the proper legal documentation.
I would not have my children around the circus. Nick is a whole mess.😟
I JUST LOVE Y'ALL!! I WATCH EVERY SHOW. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK Y'ALL!! ❤️👍🏼
Ale I was watching one of those shows Claudia was talking about and I heard your voice narrating. You have a very distinguished narrating voice and loved it. ❤️
So proud of you AL for stepping out of your "Comfort Zone" and hosting for Fox Soul at the Golden Globe awards. 👏👏👏👏
The man that sprayed that homeless lady, need his behind prosecuted. Step up Mayor.
Good Show. Teagif always comes with so much HOT 🔥 tea. Keep up the great reporting & commentary Al, Claudia & Q!
I wouldn’t write Ryan Coogler off completely …he made it clear he was hesitant on even showing up, but wanted to support Angela Bassett. He said that’s the only reason he was there…for her. His demeanor in the audience kind of showed that also.
Yes, he one of a few people I wouldn’t judge on a singular incident like this. His demeanor and approach to media in general is very tailored. He likely was just there to support Thee Angela Bassett.
This was a rich conversation tonight. Loved it!!
If something happens to either of Mariah’s children, all those children are their next of kin. She may be securing the Twins financial future and her own generational legacy by gaining full custody .
Q that was a good point about Mariah and Nick's custody situation. You do have to consider how it effects the kids knowing they have all of those siblings spread all over the place.
I go to sleep to Forensic Files every night lol I feel you Claudia
Meeeeee toooooo!
Me too. I go to sleep to American Justice too. His voice is magical 😂🤦
@@finedeva I've never heard of that show!!
I used to do the same thing!!
My man does too! And I can't stand it now 😂 once that man voice started playing in my dreams I said oh hell naw
Ryan Coogler is a person who doesn’t give interviews unless it’s to do with a launch of a film, he doesn’t even have social media but sadly a number of blogs don’t help black media reputation but you guys are good! Happy Angela Bassett won - yes I guessed too 🤣. Y’all make my day here in the 🇬🇧 when it’s been a tough one especially like today. Funky I removed myself from the other kid as a child with a Father that went wild after I was born, it gets traumatic when the kids starting asking why you get this and we don’t get that?! I also have siblings I don’t know and sadly I can’t go there for my mental health. I’m in therapy right now and have so much peace with it all, you should do it Claudia too - IEMT and EMDR are the best for trauma.
Thank you! Was scrolling because I could not figure it out
I figured it out but thank you for providing information that SOULMATES may not have known.
I was thinking it was him...
It was an easy hint
I ran to the comments to find out who Al was talking about, Thanks...
Instead of preparing for death which is going to happen to everyone, people prefer to wait until it happens and then do a GoFundMe ( back in the days go around the projects shaking a can). If any of my family members don't have insurance then there won't be a funeral and I've instructed my children that I do not want a funeral. ALL my money is for them to better their lives.
Funerals are for the living as the dead are just that...dead! Money is best spent on the living!
Me too chile!!!
OMG! Koodos to Claudia for giving Al her honest opinion about his tuxedo. I personally hated the baggy Bermuda shorts paired with the fitted tails. It made his legs look awkward and super skinny.
On another note, Claudia should consider a short, sleek haircut. She looked so gorgeous, and her cheekbones were popping with her hair pulled back.
Love Funky and this whole group ❤
I know of a crematory that cremates for only $1,000 here in Cali. I think it’s preposterous to pay that much for a funeral!! My family already knows to cremate me at the $1,000 place, throw a memorial service at Colonial Chapel which only charges $600 for the service AND the provide some flowers, obituaries and that’s how you plan a funeral for less than $1,000.
Can you send me the info please?
i love AL, but he was closeted himself for a long time. i’m a black gay man in a major city and it’s very hard to find OUT successful black gay men. we can blame the homophobia and the church in our community for that, it’s scary to come out, u think u may lose your family, etc. so some grace is needed and i’m happy when any black gay man finds love
👏🏾
Well I hope u find a successful partner of the same hue unless u prefer otherwise.😒
Claudia please keep us updated on your sister ❤️ hoping for the best
Claudia I feel you when you say Christmas can be a sad time. I totally relate❤
I Loved AL today he was speaking up and out ❤️❤️
Billy Porter wore that tuxedo dress because he was asked by Ryan Murphy to wear it. I initially thought that Billy wearing big dresses was becoming gimmicky but Ryan Murphy literally asked him to wear the black one he wore a few years back but could not because that outfit is in a museum lol
So glad to hear someone else think that rapper’s family is gross and embarrassing. I thought I was being my uppity self as my family calls me.
Eddie Murphy was amazing in Mr. Church. Congratulations to Eddie Murphy. I love his three things you need to do, so you can survive in Hollyweird. Good for Mariah Carey to get custody of the children. Nick Cannon is too busy sticking and moving. Claudia, thanks for sharing your story about having a sister. I met mine 25 years ago, and it has been amazing. Blessings to you. You can take them out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of them. May Scarr rest in peace.🙄😳
I just love Funky Dineva he just always be on point !!
Now, I watch the show Life After Lockup and I saw these episodes. I agree with Funky on this one, it's evident that she is making herself look like a Damn Fool. The entire situation is grossly pathetic.
Monique should use that money on herself. Therapy, weight lost program, Gym,surgery, etc..
Once again pick on the black woman. This show has been on for years not one word about all the other men and woman who have been used. Whose looks were not up to someone standards. Why come for Monique. I'll wait
@@sherihenderson772 Be honest with yourself when you saw Monique and Derrick you said the same thing.
Since you watch, did you also believe she was “tired” when he wanted to go to the casino because she just blew 500 in dinner and knew he would have went through way more and instead of saying she wasn’t getting more money out of the atm sis claimed she was tired?
@latosha johnson Ive also said the same about other cast members. She not the only with a prison bae who came and used them. He said nothing about Deontae or Chaz and Branwen Shawn and Destiny.
It broke my heart listening to Claudia talking about her sister
Just here to say Claudia is a gem!! Find Melissa y’all!! I hope we have an update on the next TGIF!!
Can you imagine the OUTRAGE if that homeless woman was an animal...smdh
YOU GUYS ROCK!
Chile da internet tore funky up
"Who walked past?" lol I love Q
Funky looking good! Love that big smile. Funky Bunch ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I seriously love funky. He is funny and intelligent.
Run it AL! Run it !!! On Celebrities and their Preferences.💯💯💯
Billy Porter is being himself....it's his style. Who says he's trying to be shocking? Just like other style icons...it's his signature 🖤
Loved the show! Hope you find your sister Claudia ❤️
The way I screamed when he said “I mean come on it’s Ray” 💀 💀
