She looks great for her age in spite of the stress of prison life and trying to rebuild her present life. She is a strong women I hope the best for her. I haven't seen the other movies that are out I've only watched the BMF tv series. I'm sure there is a project out there on the subject matter for her to. I wish her the best going forward.
Her skin 😍 she’s almost 60 she looks better than these younger women on social media and she has little to no make up on at all! Peace ☮️ & love ❤️ to her 💯
It is vital to Eat healthier than you did when you were in your teenage years. Lotion, moisturizer and vitamins are the key. Nuts,prunes, 🍓🍑 fruits and vegetables. Drinking 🚰 lots of water.. Castor oil,coco Butter (Palmer's) and Prenatal pills. Stretching.. no Meat,no soda's ,no drugs,no cigarettes... Of course walking, trying to avoid sun burning 🥵 on the skin.. Keeping your weight between 125_130 if you are 5"5 . Stretching...self manual massage trigger 👉 points... We will age and the elasticity in the skin will wear down. I find the longer you have a period.. your body looks like that of 25-35 yrs. Sometimes DNA plays a part. Steam room's are a blessing ..sweating out that crap.. Ahhh..!
I felt her at the end of the interview. Nothing hurts worse than holding people down And in the end they show disloyalty. I feel the pain in her voice.
This interview hit on so much that was needed. From compassionate release programs, prison reform education programs, second chance programs, and the power of the outside village. Even the part about the Prison OG or Elder who’s willing to look out for you and encourage you, that part that system within the system. Vlad this was gold.
Wow!! The is the realist interview I have seen in a long while. She was honest and her story was beyond interesting from beginning to the end. That raw pain she exhibited in the last 15 minutes of the interview was authentic - Just more evidence that being solid one of the hardest things to do on the earth - She is a solid person. I wish her happiness and peace for the rest of her life.
Lying about being the first lady of BMF. Bmf belonged to meech and she belonged to southwest t who wasn't a bmf member so how does that make her the first lady of bmf?
You can feel the honesty and realness as she speaks. She was so well spoken. I’m rooting for her and pray she is made whole 10x over what she lost. Great interview.
She is a genuine person, you don’t see people own their shit like this in front of the world this often. I have nothing but respect for this Queen & I’m in the middle of the interview 🖤🖤🖤
Great on her part but vlad ask questions in the most unnecessary way with makes the interview cringe. “so all 1000000000 kilos of raw coke was in your car on June 21 1992 at 2:01 pm on a Friday and weather was 65 and sunny with chance of coke rain”
I'm so in awe of this woman, I've never been this sucked into an interview before. She's so self aware and accepts her part in the wrong doings. I don't even have to know her past to tell she's been through some sh*t and has evolved the growth & metamorphosis is beyond beautiful.🖤🖤
Loyalty is EVERYTHING I am so grateful Toni you told you story. Your story will help me heal. My sons father is currently serving a 30 year federal time. He was affiliated with BMF. TO know he had 17 snitches tell on him took him away from my son. I was 9 weeks pregnant when he got picked up. I didn’t know his lifestyle he was a KINGPIN NC area. So when you said the bosses from different states would meet up (IT HIT HOME) this has affected my life for 15 years. Your story helps me stay strong. Bc people do turn on you. ESPECIALLY THE ONES YOU HELPED
He keeps trying to get her to say things or agree with what he heard or add stuff that’s blatant misinformation. He speaks as if he lived her life and not her, like he had way more information than her who actually lived the life. I love how she auto-corrects him and set things straight
I peep that and my gut tells me that he fed the federal government information and he is now insulting each person by doing an interview which is so sad.
@@Candy173828its a interview lol he supposed to ask questions people want answer to or get clarification on particular topics the public don’t know about
His "ok"s irk me. And yeah, no, he agitating FOR REAL. Crazy how much his disdain and chauvinism oooozes, someone from the culture must have hurt him or someone he loves so he may have some legitimate angst but it's over generalized, misplaced and mixed in with some other personal vendetta-ish ish.
Father In Heaven 🙏🏾 please allow my Black NOT to crack…may u keep my skin smooth and preserved like Tonesa Welch. I too need my melanin to be popping like this in my 60s. 🤩 Amen❣️
Ok, so I'm the 'johnny come lately to ALL THINGS BMF' and literally JUST started binge watching it LAST WEEK!!! I did see Tonesa, on a show I think is called Hustle Queen's last year sometime, and I was like WOW.... But NOW, after watching BMF, and seeing THIS interview, IT ALL MAKES SENSE, and coming together!!! I PRAY this SistaQueen continue to prosper & find peace💜
One of the realest interviews Vlad has done. Some people come on and tweak their story to make them seem more real or more credible but I believe this woman .
Her story in itself deserves to be on the big screen I believe everything this woman saying you can just see the truth in her when she speaks respect ‼️
Watched this interview once today, then I promptly started watching bmf on starz. Now I’m back to watch this interview again. This lady is raw and real and so transparent! Great interview ❤️
Beautiful woman who spoke her courageous truth. Reflecting on the late '80 and '90, Tonesa story brought back memories on so many levels. That lifestyle is not easy. In the beginning it's exciting and even glamorous but in the end best not to play the game at all.
What was courageous? That her and her boyfriend Arizona T can't sell their crack anymore? No mo wild dollars yo? These people are demons, and Vlad brings them on to capitalize off them and rub their failures in their face. I feel nothing for her, she should be in admax
She handled her self very well I don't like watching vlad videos because of the way he likes to throw out his little comments and talk down and sneak diss but had to watch this one true Detroit queen I really enjoyed her
I totally agree with you Low Key...I have to honestly say, I'm not an overall fan of VLAD...To me, his interviewing skills are very condescending, very PHONY and capitalizing...Yes, from what I watched, she handled herself well...When she began to mention her physical abuse, I literally decided to not continue...This guy VLAD has capitalized off of the culture, people of color unsurmountably for years and I've never felt any genuiness in his interviewing tactics or motives...# NOT A FAN
@@iam_ar2k726 thanks its all about society's narrative that certain people are always trying push it subliminally she seems like she's mad cool and genuine something vald my never understand.
This is my first time viewing a vlad interview- I came to the comments to see if it was worth the time. Her story was compelling enough to follow through but he got on my last nerve
Powerful testimony. She didn’t let Vlad slip anything erroneous in. Love her. Such a beautiful woman. I love to see other who are aging gracefully. Dang we look good at 59. God is great!
In my opinion this is the best interview from vladtv not because of vladtv, because of Toni, she spoke her truth which is the truth, she spoke about redeeming herself from the pain she caused the community and she is doing so she talked about her family and the pain she caused them so she went to prison and she vowed to not return and do the right thing for her family and community, she is not bitter, she lived her life the way she wanted and knew the consequences she took her licks and keep on ticking not many people in her position male or female could stand up to do many becomes (Rats) Much Love To You Toni you are a True Woman, Mother, Friend, Detroiter, Soldier, Mad Respect!
She's a Boss A Strong Woman Her story matters because she truly stood on her own 2 and held it down tremendously for her family/others Tonesa is inspirational in her own way. I'm Happy that she got a second chance what a beautiful soul. Salute
Why? We don't need this garbage to seep further into our lives. Let it be. She said what she said and let's move on from this. Nothing glorious about this.
First, she looks amazing! I honestly thought she was in her 40s. I enjoyed hearing her pov, one that seemed unbiased and raw. I felt her rant, she needed to finally respond and as a human that has experienced what she has, she was very respectful and valid in doing so. The way bmf has influenced an era, they all deserve credit in some way. I hope her opportunities continue to flourish!
I like the fact that she takes accountability for the harm that drug dealing did to the community. And when she said in 1980 she was 19 my mouth dropped. She looks great!
VLAD YOU KEPT TRYING IT.....SHE IS A REAL ONE. SHE IS NOTTTTTT GOING TO SAY ANYTHING THAT SHE ISNT SUPPOSED TO SAY. SHE INDEED DOES NOT FOLD UNDER PRESSURE
I was almost fooled by the way her character was written in the BMF series but the way she hesitated to even curse and say “ignorant” around 15:00….idk why but it made me respect the mess out of her! She’s so well spoken and just telling it like it is while still taking responsibility for her role….I love this! This part of the story should be told 🙏🏾
In all she did, saw & heard GOD HAS WALKED WITH HER & COVERED HER BEYOND MEASURE! True testimony she is Solid they don't make them like her anymore! I appreciate her sharing bring open & transparent. Queen has truly done her shadow work & she is glowing because of it!
Pure fiction. Where was this god the when all them dead bodies were in them streets? The white man has done a masterful job brainwashing his slaves with nonsense
I hate wen people assume a woman comes into a situation starving, and don't even kno wat she brought to the table, and continuously added to that table! Mfs is quick to credit the man for the Rise, and blame the woman for the Demise!
@A TRUE DESTINEE Behind every successful man there was a hella mind set that comes from a woman ♀️. Women rule and men try to control. Straight Facts 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
I think that she is a well grounded woman that is real. It's hard to find that when someone has been through so much. She can be anything and will be everything. She is wise beyond her years. Everything was well said. Good luck to you and your life.
ThIs is the first Vlad interview I've watched from beginning to end. She's the first person to tell the story from Southwest T's side wiithout the third person accounts we hear from the Big Meech hangers on.
Blessing to the sister in her new journal one thing she know or should know is she can't be stopped keep pushing forward no matter who or what gets in her path.....peace
Sosa threatened to sue her for using BMF in a merchandising line, and using BMF for any advertisement in the 2012 reality show that never published. He straight tried to stop her from rebuilding, that's messed up. He hurried to trademark BMF but that didn't stop STARZ, you never saw Sosa go after 50c like he did Tonesa. SMDH
@@mattjones8755 You are the slow one. Sosa's legal team sent a cease and desist, including a trademark notice. STARZ attorneys fired back and over road it. There are legal loopholes; STARZ' legal reps took that route. Sosa wasn't able to stop it. But he was able to stop Tony.
Very interesting interview. I like how she accepted responsibility. When she admitted to taking at least 5 people to prison with her and recognizing they were following her lead that resonated b/c she recognize it was because she introduced them to the game.There is no way she could be blamed for bringing anybody down b/c that was set in motion before her …
The "outcomes" of "the game" are laid bear before you prior to intro. With brevity, Tonesa Welch took no one to prison with her. The five people's choices took them to prison ... 💯(.+♾) ... Periodt!
I enjoyed this very much. You can tell she is a very smart intelligent woman. Everybody do dumb shit growing up. You live and learn. I'm sure it does bother her now thinking about the lives she ruined. She don't need to go through nothing else. Leave that woman alone and let her rebuild her life! God knows her heart. God bless you Tonesa. 🙏🏽 Keep going!! ❤
A Woman Intuition.... wow, Very powerful story, she communicates very well... but her eyes is telling so much more... Thanks for sharing your story beloved
U can tell she got raised to be a lady with class.. maybe didn't make the best decisions and alil naive but I respect her resilience.. beauty black queen.. skin is flawless!!!
She’s the smartest drug dealer I ever listen to. She man up for her family and community of what she did wrong. A lot dudes who have been in the game can’t say that.
Great interview! I watched the entire interview, I was glued. Her story needs to be told, she seemed so genuine & transparent. I felt her pain, she was very real.
She did the damn thing. I felt her so much when she said the loyalty, the trusts, the friendship, the promises they made to each other. Then here comes the betrayal. I felt her pain. I heard it in her voice. I’ve been there. Although he apologized to her it still hurts. It was done to me. I haven’t gotten an apology as of yet.
Vlad this is by FAR one of the BEST interviews! You could ACTUALLY hear her ❤ speaking! Very INTELLIGENT! Very BEAUTIFUL! Most of ALL VERY REAL! Totally took responsibility! Helped many people even tho that same energy wasn’t received back! She changed her life around & Ms. Tonesa it’s looks good on you! Even thru ALL your hurt, you look very well as you continue to redeem your life! Wishing you ALL THE BEST!! ❤
Hats off to this beautiful black woman. Everyone has a past, she took accountability for her actions , made amends , she didn’t allow her past to define her and changed her life. Her story is just beginning! I pray she find happiness and peace. 🙏🏾
It’s amazing how these people danced with the devil and lived and now they tell their stories and people see them as heroes. Amazing they are blessed to still be alive. Amazing.
Its not heroes as much as...these white folks were out doing the same thing...and with the exception of guys like White Boy Rick and White Boy....they got NO TIME. Meech had two goals it seems. Getting his family out of a messed up situation and blessing those who were willing to take their chances. He tried to put everyone on to make money. No it's not right. But, not much about this life is right.
Excellent Interview, Ms. Welch I love how you was a open book and sooo candid in this interview. Your showed us your genuineness and never pointed fingesr in your part of living life. Thank you soo very much, best of sucess to you in your future endeavors
This is the most inspirational fall from grace and greed life story, to a life of honor, redemption and love. God bless you Tonesa Welch! You are a beautiful soul!
she's a good argument for prison reform. our presence are far from their potential when they could take a person like this re-educate them give them the tools to not have to go back to the dredges of society when they could learn and be a architect or nurse or some form of living when after all it takes less money to educate someone then it does to incarcerate them. in so many ways our prison systems needs so much improvement and a closer look to become more humane.
So she is the character that Lala is playing. Beautiful woman glad she changed her life. Hope this interview changes some young person watching life as well.
What's wrong with the world is people cannot will not do not own their wrongs or reflect back on life and their wrongs in efforts to try to grow evolve or change as this woman does! She doesn't justify or excuse her mistakes she owns it she gives her testimony straight no chaser not glorifying it just explaining it. She has a remarkable grace about her. Glad she made it out and lived to tell it!

ThIs is the first Vlad interview I've watched from beginning to end. She's the first person to tell the story from Southwest T's side wiithout the third person accounts we hear from the Big Meech hangers on.
Me too
we all are captivated by the minutes and bless that we all are having this moment. Transparency THAT REAL
Blessing to the sister in her new journal one thing she know or should know is she can't be stopped keep pushing forward no matter who or what gets in her path.....peace
I admired women like her she exudes strength. Be encouraged
Sosa threatened to sue her for using BMF in a merchandising line, and using BMF for any advertisement in the 2012 reality show that never published. He straight tried to stop her from rebuilding, that's messed up. He hurried to trademark BMF but that didn't stop STARZ, you never saw Sosa go after 50c like he did Tonesa. SMDH
Is that what happened...oh my WoW!! SMDH! And it always be yo own people too! SAD‼️
You gotta be slow asf BMF on Starz couldn't have taken place without Dexter Sosa he owns the name
@@mattjones8755 You are the slow one. Sosa's legal team sent a cease and desist, including a trademark notice. STARZ attorneys fired back and over road it. There are legal loopholes; STARZ' legal reps took that route. Sosa wasn't able to stop it. But he was able to stop Tony.
@@islabonita6304if he got a trademark he owns the name no loopholes on that 🖕🏽
@@islabonita6304 He was ONLY a driver 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️👀
The last 15 min for me made the interview for me! That shit was the truth and from the heart!!
I love her… She’s so real and authentic!
You can hear the hurt in her voice. I’m gonna pray for her healing ❤️🩹
Yeah. You can tell she's hurt.
If Tony is Bad now imagine how she was 25-30yrs ago 😍
Real "DIME PIECE" !!❤💋🔥🔥
I grew up with her family in Detroit..... TRUST ME....SHE WAS A 10+++ back then!!!!
@@mariohenley716 I can believe it
@@mariohenley716 shiddd I can believe that shyt too 😂💯💪🤞🏼 she sooo Fine 💯 she even looks like her toes even cute 😂💪💯🤞🏼
Factz
Vlad never fails to leave out the part where they get caught behind Terry's phone usage when he talks about Terry being less flashy
Why Vlad keep asking about El Chapo? Damn bruh she can’t be speaking on them people they still active.
Right! I was like stop trying to get her to snitch dude. She ain't gonna!
I’m so glad she has shared her story. That life is so not worth what goes with it. It’s terrifying when she talks about incarceration.
Very interesting interview. I like how she accepted responsibility. When she admitted to taking at least 5 people to prison with her and recognizing they were following her lead that resonated b/c she recognize it was because she introduced them to the game.There is no way she could be blamed for bringing anybody down b/c that was set in motion before her …
The "outcomes" of "the game" are laid bear before you prior to intro. With brevity, Tonesa Welch took no one to prison with her. The five people's choices took them to prison ... 💯(.+♾) ... Periodt!
She’s a classic - remind of the women I grew up with in the 90’s, her entire look and demeanor. This is an example of how the American system has us..
True Queen of the Streets, enjoyed this interview and looking forward to seeing more of her true stories.
She's inspiring and showed so much accountability and growth! Wishing her the best
I enjoyed this very much. You can tell she is a very smart intelligent woman. Everybody do dumb shit growing up. You live and learn. I'm sure it does bother her now thinking about the lives she ruined. She don't need to go through nothing else. Leave that woman alone and let her rebuild her life! God knows her heart. God bless you Tonesa. 🙏🏽 Keep going!! ❤
This lady is amazing. Never seen anything like her. She deserves to be on top. I pray god gives her the best of life now on!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️
Whew!!! This interview was so good! You can tell she’s a genuine person. I’d love to see her more
Great interview. She’s extremely poised and calm. You can tell she’s a leader
Balling Outta Control💎.. I Haven't Heard ANYONE say that in a Long Time💯 Much Love📿🙏🏼💞💯🕶
That ending was FIRE 🔥🔥🔥!!
TALK THAT TALK SIS!!!!
A Woman Intuition.... wow, Very powerful story, she communicates very well... but her eyes is telling so much more... Thanks for sharing your story beloved
U can tell she got raised to be a lady with class.. maybe didn't make the best decisions and alil naive but I respect her resilience.. beauty black queen.. skin is flawless!!!
What a boss u can tell when people are real and she definitely is
She’s the smartest drug dealer I ever listen to. She man up for her family and community of what she did wrong. A lot dudes who have been in the game can’t say that.
You can tell she still loves Southwest T she was defending him in everything that came up about him
They’re back together
@@urtheboss1nope she left him
I love how smart she is not try tell Vlad too much, but just enough to understand 💝
I was born and raised on the eastside, she could be in my corner any day, I feel every bit of what she's saying!! God Bless
Fascinating story! I hope Tonesa goes on to greater and greater success 💐 (I loved the honesty and vulnerability of her accountability)
A woman that ruined a whole community
Great interview! I watched the entire interview, I was glued. Her story needs to be told, she seemed so genuine & transparent. I felt her pain, she was very real.
They start shooting her movie in April
The ending of this interview really touched me smh… I felt everything she was saying… her energy is so powerful & sincere.
I always felt like Detroiters are the most down to earth people.
Detroit and st. Louis
I felt her pain 💔 she did her time and for ppl to keep trying to not let her get money the legit way is asinine praying for you sis 🙏🏽 ❤️
Me, as well. There is not testimony without a test. And, He uses our missteps to teach orhers. Period.
I can’t believe how beautiful she is… I can only imagine what she looked
Like in the 80s and 90s
She is such a stand up Lady.... Took accountability for her actions & the passion behind what's going on now. Pretty woman!
She did the damn thing. I felt her so much when she said the loyalty, the trusts, the friendship, the promises they made to each other. Then here comes the betrayal. I felt her pain. I heard it in her voice. I’ve been there. Although he apologized to her it still hurts. It was done to me. I haven’t gotten an apology as of yet.
This was a very good interview. A part of it was just the way she put it into detail, in addition to the questions asked.
Yo bro this most definitely one the top tier interviews on ya channel. Need ha back for a update
Vlad this is by FAR one of the BEST interviews! You could ACTUALLY hear her ❤ speaking! Very INTELLIGENT! Very BEAUTIFUL! Most of ALL VERY REAL!
Totally took responsibility! Helped many people even tho that same energy wasn’t received back! She changed her life around & Ms. Tonesa it’s looks good on you! Even thru ALL your hurt, you look very well as you continue to redeem your life! Wishing you ALL THE BEST!! ❤
Hats off to this beautiful black woman. Everyone has a past, she took accountability for her actions , made amends , she didn’t allow her past to define her and changed her life. Her story is just beginning! I pray she find happiness and peace. 🙏🏾
It’s amazing how these people danced with the devil and lived and now they tell their stories and people see them as heroes. Amazing they are blessed to still be alive. Amazing.
ALSO destruction left in their WAKE
My same thoughts. It’s the media though. It’s a downfall for black children and our young adults.
Its not heroes as much as...these white folks were out doing the same thing...and with the exception of guys like White Boy Rick and White Boy....they got NO TIME. Meech had two goals it seems. Getting his family out of a messed up situation and blessing those who were willing to take their chances. He tried to put everyone on to make money. No it's not right. But, not much about this life is right.
Excellent Interview, Ms. Welch I love how you was a open book and sooo candid in this interview. Your showed us your genuineness and never pointed fingesr in your part of living life. Thank you soo very much, best of sucess to you in your future endeavors
Took Vlad 45mins to tell his BMF story but we knew he would tell it 😂😂
🤣😂 word he couldn't wait 😅😂
😂
I’m soooooo annoyed by that stupid ass story he told
He comes off like a groupie everytime😂😂🤦🏾♀️
Please shop around your story to get a movie deal. This was so good.
He asking for specific dates like what you tryna do 😭
This is the most inspirational fall from grace and greed life story, to a life of honor, redemption and love. God bless you Tonesa Welch! You are a beautiful soul!
she's a good argument for prison reform. our presence are far from their potential when they could take a person like this re-educate them give them the tools to not have to go back to the dredges of society when they could learn and be a architect or nurse or some form of living when after all it takes less money to educate someone then it does to incarcerate them. in so many ways our prison systems needs so much improvement and a closer look to become more humane.
The “oh you know you’re real dad” and the middle class comment threw me
Her friend is so corny. I wish a man would tell me to set up his ex if he’s trying to be with me. What be wrong with people?
So she is the character that Lala is playing. Beautiful woman glad she changed her life. Hope this interview changes some young person watching life as well.
I wish her well. She took accountability and is a master teacher.
What's wrong with the world is people cannot will not do not own their wrongs or reflect back on life and their wrongs in efforts to try to grow evolve or change as this woman does! She doesn't justify or excuse her mistakes she owns it she gives her testimony straight no chaser not glorifying it just explaining it. She has a remarkable grace about her. Glad she made it out and lived to tell it!
Very good interview!! She was very transparent. Beautiful lady!! She aged very well.
