I have a lot of respect for Kidada because she’s not out here doing interviews about Aaliyah and her personal life unlike Dame Dash and her uncle Barry Hankerson. When that Surviving RKelly documentary came out and his trial Dame and Aaliyah’s uncle was out here doing interviews running their mouth. I could tell that Kidada was a good friend to Aaliyah and she cherish their friendship. I give her props for keeping quiet and staying out the spot light and just living her life in private now.
@@JazzellDope To be honest I never really liked him for her but she was happy with him so whatever. I didn’t agree with how he been moving all of a sudden he doing interviews talking about her & R Kelly’s situation because when Aaliyah was alive he didn’t say a word about it but now since the Surviving documentary came out you got so much to say. It makes me question his motives. Plus he just do weird things like how he said that Aaliyah told him R kelly is a bad guy and keep him tf away from me. (That don’t even sound like something Aaliyah would say) but when everybody questioned him about being in R Kelly’s fiesta video he said Aaliyah told him to be in the video. So he be doing a lot of lying .. that’s my issue with him.
Dame is trying to open the hole because he knew there was foul play in her death he’s not chasing clout he’s trying to expose the truth he hasn’t found closure because there is a story that was told she received a call stating he was in a car accident in Miami and that’s the reason she rushed on the plane and he was in New York so he just wants to know why!!
This girl had an ICONIC life. She brushed shoulders with the most famous and talented people on this PLANET. She has creativity and success in her bloodline. Black, white, or both, she is THAT girl.
@@lisalisa6735 What did he lie about lmao. Tell us what we don't know since you were there? 🙄 She's never hid the fact that she's a witch! Some of you are just catching on. The reality is most of your favorite celebrities are into magick and perform rituals for success and sacrifice. Seems like you're just mad he exposed her.
@@beautifuloracle And you were there as well? When did she ever say she was a witch? LL’s ego got chin checked that’s why he decided to talk about her in his book to make himself look good. He took shots at Pac because he felt a way about him dating her. She never even claimed him but till this day he brings up the fact that they dated and he’s still tight with Quincy so he didn’t expose anything. Just because someone doesn’t identify as Christian does not make them a witch.
Those pictures with her, Aaliyah, and the rest of their friends are so cute! Celebrity & influencer friendships back then seemed so real & genuine, nothing forced. Just girls having good times. 😌❤️
I find Rashida quite naive, possibly disingenuous about her passing. That girl has been a indie cinema darling for 2 decades, She played white, in each role including when She was involved in the financing and producing of the movie. Her character's parents were systematically white. To the point that journalist on the Oscar red carpet telling her She looked healthy because She was tanned and Rashida had to correct her. Even then She said She was "ethnic", whatever TF that means. Comparatively Megan Markhle, in Suits, was a nobody then, fought hard with the production and network to include her character being a biracial black women. Her dad is notorious misogynoirist in the industry, that's what Tupac had an issue with.
@K Francis Rashida Jones reads "Eastern European" 😂. That's a new one. Please travel more or get in touch with other ethnicities on your side of the world. Not by any metrics ,She doesn't reads as East European, not by American nor by European standards. Here in Europe She'd read biracial or Southern European/Mediterranean. Even in Ukraine, where they have a lot of brunettes with brown eyes( think Mila Kunis or Olga Kurylenko) comparatively to other Slavic or Baltic countries, She would read as foreign. MY POINT wasn't about her private life. But about her passing privilege. She at least by omission, used It to navigate her industry, access both behind,in front the camera as well as the writing room. Then She made Pikachu's face when people were shocked She was biracial. In that respect I find her naive. We damn well know that if the roles were reversed, with the same talent and skills, Kidada wouldn't have the same career path in Cinema/TV BUT Rashida in Fashion, will definitely thrive the same, if not more. The different other famous types that you named actually claim &/or acknowledge their mixedness irl and in their craft, as well as the passing privilege and opportunities that It brought them in their respective line of work. Hell, Wentworth Miller established a mentoring network for p.o.c. aspiring writers because one of his sibling was discriminated against, while He was cruising his way to the top. Markle by lobbying to have her character as mixed, made that Wendell Pierce graced our eyes with his craft,his presence boosting the ratings even more with Gina Torres being signed as a permanent cast . The audience would be confused by a person being biracial, when are We? The 50's? If you like your cultural consumption of TV & Movies to be simplistic,with little brain engagement on your part, just say that and go on with your good self. There's plenty of simple TV and movies content to go about and enjoy. Wanting to be cast close to one's family background, makes for more and new storytelling, since the invention of Cinema, the human experience on screen has been predominantly white and has become, frankly stale. Right now all eyes are on South Korea, a country that the average person in the West, knows little about culturally, yet People, worldwide, enjoy their TV and movie output. Global audiences don't seem confused, do they? Wanting new and different faces, new and nuanced stories makes for a better movie industry. It has shown to be both profitable and enjoyed by the general public.
@@kfrancis1872 it’s not black peoples job to acknowledge you. Y’all never have this same energy for white people who don’t acknowledge that you’re half white. It’s not black peoples responsibility to uplift and take one for the team for the biracial black people.
@@kfrancis1872 "...thefury the subject brings" says the one who went "woe is me,the blacks didn't embrace me" when I was making a point about passing privilege and her lack of awareness when It comes to how She is treated comparatively to her sister. Then proceed to blame their lack of range on the subject, on me not making paragraph because of course their verbiage was a paragon of grammatical accuracy and writing etiquette. It's fascinating how It's always the same talking point that comes up when such issue is brought up. But hey don't mind me, go on with your light skin good self and godspeed.
Thank you so much for this! I was familiar with Kidada, but only as "Quincy Jones' daughter/Rashida's sister/Tupac's girl". I had no idea how much she did, the moves she made, the effects she had on culture. This was really fascinating. Great work as always.
Her and Aaliyah sound like they had such a great relationship. They were so pretty together too. It's so sad how she experienced tough losses like that in her earlier years.
Her "spiritual practices" and Aaliyah's love of gore/horror whilst under her mentorship explains A LOT! Both Aaliyah and Pac were around this chick right before their deaths
@@fredroespi My spirit was not feeling her "spiritual practices" at all. She's off, I can see it in her face. I pray she finds Jesus, that's the only "spiritual practice" that will save you from going where the devil will ultimately end up and his followers.
I was thinking the same thing!!!!! I feel like some of that spirituality stuff comes with a cost . Especially when your praying to another God or idols . It might work at that moment but the devil comes to collect the debt ... I hope she paid attention to that and changed up . Walk on a different path cause that's not it .
@@selenadavis3720 1 Billion people in India have a 5000 year old spiritual tradition called Sanatana Dharma and they good, that tradition inspired Buddhism that then went on to influence billions more in the far East. None of those people lose sleep at night.
i so admired Kidada, Aaliyah and Bijou as a squad in the early 2000’s. i didn’t know that much about them, but i loved how attractive and stylish they were. They just looked so good together. i never forgot that Vibe magazine spread which featured the three of them and a fourth girl who i could never remember.
You should do Christina Milian next, she was an IT girl of the early 2000s. The last time I’ve seen Kidada was when she in the On The Run trailer for Beyoncé and Jay Z tour. While she had an amazing life then most, I can’t imagine losing loved ones back to back the way she did. It’s also about time someone did a video on her. Thank you black femininity.
Looks like Christine has made significant personal priorities for family in this chapter of life… her career slowing but in tact… been pretty up to point 2017, she married a super successful French singer, songwriter artist (Matt Pakora) and they have two baby boys, born in 2020 & 2021, and raising Violet, her & the Dreams 11 year old daughter..seem to have an amazing life with hands full.. living from across the waters (U.K.) to state side, but making it work… Best wishes !!! Awe 💘💕
@@locturallylocs9097 actually she stays working, shes not just milling about trynna figure out what's next for her career, plus shes a mom and has a fiance. She's very much happy these days check out her IG.
At first I was hesitant to click the vid but I am so happy I did.. this woman made a impact in three iconic people lives before their death and shifted the fashion industry. Crazy to know I've never heard of her back story till today because I only recognized her from being the eye candy with Tupac. 💜
@@GiftofTheKnowledge Word up! A lot of stuff she touched, died. Who and what she worshipped back then probably has a lot to do with it. And they're not even mentioning all the deaths. Static Major was Aaliyah's boyfriend during those years of friendship and he's not here anymore either... This whole situation is probably way deeper than we'll ever know. LL's album failing is the first example.
I just want to say how important your documentaries are. They bring so much light to those we don’t hear enough about. I watch Gene Deal who is a Diddy’s former bodyguard. He has a few stories mahout Kidada and I became intrigued about her and 2pac 👀
This is so fascinating, I didn’t know about the different experiences she and Rashida had. It’s almost crazy how Rashida is on the screen, this perfect but “real” girl next door yet she grew up so fancy. I love that Kidada was friends with Aaliyah! I thought she looked like Aaliyah a bit and had that same laid back, confident vibe. Another amazing video essay , thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤟🏼
Diana Ross oldest daughter Rhonda had different experiences growing up being all black with her half white sisters. Rhonda did a interview yrs ago with Essence detailing how she had different experiences
Yeah there was a documentary on Netflix about the Joneses and Rashida was going on and on about how she basically would just “pass” for white and would deny/hide her blackness.
Neither did I. I didn't know that Kidada had a learning disability, either, although some people with learning disabilities do overcome them later on and go on to be successful in the fields that suit their talents.
Yes i read an article and Rashida said she went back and forth with her blackness but decided she didnt fit in so she basically accepts being a white girl while kidada clings to mostly blk people
I would also consider Ananda Lewis an IT Girl. She was everywhere. Can you do a video on MTV's black VJs (downtown Julie Brown, Bill Bellamy, Ananda, etc.), or black female Real World Cast members?
Thank you for making this video showcasing her contribution to the culture cause before this all I knew was that she was with pac and who her dad was this was really really good andi didn't even know she and Aaliyah was so close and for her to get a style icon like The King of Pop MJ to wear stuff that he had nothing to do with is genius 👏👏👏👏
The only part I didnt know about was her involvement with Tommy Hilfiger. I remember the whole rumor about the brand not wanting to style black people, and now as an adult I've discovered that was a big lie. I lowkey feel bad about how that probably affected Tommy Hilfiger and his family
@@rosegoldbanks4842 marc jacobs definitely said that black girls appropriate white culture by wearing blonde wigs after someone called him out for Gigi and kendall & co rocking faux dreads on his runway lmfaoo these brands just don’t gaf 😭
I remember Kidada Jones being a 90s kid/teenager I thought she was so pretty. She dated all the 90s hotties/men and definitely was an IT girl before the Paris Hiltons, Kim Ks etc
I would hardly compare her to Lori Harvey, Kim K and Definitely not Paris Hilton. Kidada actually worked her azz off while the other girls pretty much just give up some ass every chance they got. Gotta respect this girls work ethic.
Which 90's hot men did she actually date besides LL cool j and Tupac? Lol she wasn't high in demand like that. Which why I don't understand why she was an IT girl, simply because of who she was tied with.
She experienced alot of high profile deaths,and that can hold a heavy weight on the psyche!! Pray she alright today and making great moves, she's extremely talented like her Mom and Dad ❤️
I am laughing so hard at how LL chucked the deuces on Kidada's spiritual foolery 🤣😂🤣. She scared him so much he gave his life to Jesus & married his now wife.
Kidada is a beauty 😍 In some pictures of her and Aaliyah from the 90s they could pass for sisters. I think Kidada is really cool, I like how laid back and private she is.
A lot of black blogs especially in the early 2000s labeled Kidada as a fast girl that was smashing any rapper she could get with. It’s refreshing to see a different perspective on her life.
I love ❤️ Kidada! She has such wonderful style! I remember the magazine she styled for Michael Jackson! I bought the magazine because I was and still a big fan of Michael Jackson! She did a wonderful job styling him! I’m a Fashionista myself and I love her 90’s looks! Thanks for the video! I truly loved it! Bye for now!
This was a great video! I loved learning about her experience in fashion, wardrobe styling and recruiting. I feel like most of the time, the It Girl always seems to have everything while doing nothing lol sis was working 👏🏾
I always wanted to know more about her relationship with Aaliyah. Inlove with the respect that she always kept for Aaliyah. I wonder what boundaries were crossed & why her chaperoning, the ICONIC Aaliyah, was a “nightmare”. Always loved them together. It was always said that Kidada was this big, bad influence on Aaliyah. Who knows but may Sweet Aaliyah, rest in heavenly peace. ❤️
🤩I cried this was touching so damn sad how this women has 🫶so much influence and trending talent "SHE IS THE IT GIRL" beautiful boasting video of her life and friendship with great icons 💟
It's so interesting to see the drastic difference from the 90/00 to the 2010s && how celebrities looked before the boom of extensive plastic surgery. Kidada was just a beautiful girl w/a great sense of fashion. In today's world she would have needed to have a nose job, fillers, Botox, BBL, Boob implants ... just to pull a modem day rapper of fame like Tupac & LL Cool J. That's a damn shame 😞 I'm sorry for this generation.
She is so beautiful. She has been so low key and is u like any other celebrities. She really could be out here telling all kind of business and instead she is a queen writing books helping girls and not flaunting privilege .or dropping names . IT GIRL !!!
I was today years old when I learned about this woman. Thanks for doing this! I'm trying to wrap my brain around what it must be like to be the daughter of Quincy Jones!
Thank you for making a positive video about Kidada. Seems like a lot RUclipsrs focus on the negative hearsays about her. I feel like a lot of Tupac friends who did interviews about her hated her because they didn't understand her & felt that her & Tupac were an odd couple. People tend to hate what they don't understand or see as different and that's sad.
I like this comment I have been a fan of her for 9 years and it’s true . Tupac fans are very envious of her for no reason she doesn’t even talk about him and barley uses social media
@@kaialovegerber9977 I don't think they hate on her because they are jealous. I think they hate on her because she's different and they just don't understand what Tupac saw in her. Also a lot fans go by hearsay and none of Tupac's friends had anything good to say about Kidada. Also a lot of the fans don't like the fact that she covered up the tattoo she got of Tupac. And they often compared and contrast Kidada's way of grieving over losing Tupac to Lauren London's way of grieving over losing Nipsey Hussle.
I had no idea she had learning disabilities, great that she found her calling so many kids never get that chance. She was beautiful they probably were jealous of her in high school.
I don’t believe ppl were jealous of her in high school. She’s cute but she wasn’t a celebrity. She just associated with a lot of them. No one was jealous.
Great great video girl!! 🔥I would love to see more black IT girls from the 90’s to now if possible. I appreciate kidada. It was nice to “get to know her” a bit since I’ve never really heard of her before or knew what she did besides being associated with Aaliyah and 2pac.. I appreciate her loyalty on not trying to make money off of doing interviews and talking to every interviewer about Aaliyah and pac.
Mr Quincy Jones is very talented and has done a LOT with his career that had earned him a great deal of respect. Tupac was (also) pissed off over things he didn't mention and would not talk down about that man like that for nothing. There is wayy more than what meets the eye here.
When I say I Still have those VIBES... If there is any magazine I miss.. It's Vibe... Kidada is definitely the original Lori Harvey... I think you're being nice and respectful because the stories of these relationships being on break isn't what others say.. But it is what it is... She is definitely the blueprint of an IT girl for those who have come after her.
My bestie mother use to have the subscription for Vibe and she would get so mad at us because we would steal the magazine before she could read it lol....sighs the nostalgia
Lol she definitely wasn't the original Lori Harvey at all and I don't recall her being high in damand. Her speciality is being tied to deceased superstars and having a famous dad
@@shaesdivinetarot exactly lol 😂 these are the same people that eat bottom feeders, wear mixed fabrics, cheat, idolize money and fame, etc. They don’t take their religion that seriously if they ignore half of the teachings and apply what u want 🤷🏽♀️
@@AFOS94 As far as what the Old Testament says about what not to eat (shell fish), God actually cleansed all of the animals, so we can eat the once forbidden animals. This is mentioned in the New Testament. Moreover, the Bible also addresses how we are free from the old law and abide under grace now. Finally, all of us are imperfect and have sinned/do sin/will sin. Our sinful nature is precisely the reason why Jesus (who is perfect) came to shed his blood by sacrificing his life and was raised from the dead on the 3rd day...so that we can ask God for forgiveness and have a chance to repent from our sins (even daily). We all need Jesus, everyday. We are only made new creatures through faith in Jesus Christ (not by our own image or effort). So believing in Jesus Christ and understanding that we are saved by grace through faith alone... is the essence of our faith while repenting from sin in the name of Jesus is our lifestyle not a religious practice. Claiming to be perfect is not what being Christian entails. Only when Jesus returns will we be made righteous, sinless, and live forever in peace with God. If you're interested in learning more, please read the Holy Bible kjv.
LL grew up Christian, a believer (which is not the same as being "spiritual" as kidada was). To that end, LL knew that Kidada was into witchcraft and idolatry. Although he was tempted and joined in for a second (he was imperfect), he quickly separated himself from her. LL knew that they were unequally yoked: light and dark do not have anything in common/cannot hangout (paraphrased) according to the Bible. Jesus Christ is the [only] way, the truth, and the life.
I wud luv to see a video on Tisha Campbell. That for sure was the "IT" girl of the 90's. From House Party to Martin. She even cud sing and dance. It's a shame she didn't get to hav a successful music career, becuz she really had talent.
I loved this video. Your ideas are so fresh and your research is so thorough. I had no idea about Kidada's existence. i really cannot express how great your channel is.
I absolutely enjoyed this documentary about kidada, I used to always see her with my idol (aaliyah) and wonder who she was and i never knew rasida Jones is quincy Jones daughter! I really enjoyed this and keep em coming girl 😉
Y’all remember ppl claimed that Tommy said he didn’t want black ppl wearing his stuff? He hired black stars to promote his stuff but ,ppl believed it anyway. Great job on the video.
I literally just looked up "where is Kidada now" lol still as beautiful as ever. I loved these couples back in the day before social media took over and magazines were a thing! 😩
Thank you so much for doing this. It is so much I learned about Kidada in this video. She was always marching to her own beat. Everyone was wearing Tommy Hilfiger in the 90s in the streets in all the music videos. Thanks for clearing up the rumor about the brand that wasn’t true. She got to be around major music giants and influential people like Michael Jackson. I enjoyed this so much. Keep up the excellent through research on your topics.
I had never heard of her until now. So she is the one who brought the street look to Thommy Hilfiger. Wow, never knew that. What a creative eye she had. She basically helped his company grow and become what it is today. I hope he gave her stock options in his company. Money is nice, but stock is better.
@@shenyae4143Aaliyah was in the look because of Kidadah being her friend ! She was apart of the process of designing and creating the street wear line which was inside of the video if you've watched it ..

Yep! Took the words out of my mouth. If Quincy could erase his blackness I'm sure he would. He is no icon to the black community but a sad, self hatred joke kissing white people's a^%&

I seen them together but didn't realize they were best friends. Kadida lost Tupac and Aaliyah and its so tragic!! I'm happy she's still here with us. She really influenced alot of things. Imagine they made Dollypop!!
Kidada was so pretty. Its werid how times are still the same. Its sad how she went through colorism when she was little especially by her own family members. If I was her mother I would of called out my own parents about it and wouldn't let my parents see their grandkids anymore🤷🏾♀️. Her and sister should both be treated equally by both grandparents. But anyway she was dating everyone in the 90s 😆 🤣 but to me something is off with her vibe... I cant pinpoint it... Edit: I need a friend like Aaliyah 🥺😭❤ that was friendship goals that they had.
Perhaps Quincy should have thought about that before impregnating her Caucasian mother. Unfortunately the Black looking daughter was treated poorly but what's ironic is that the parents felt the same way about a Black man as Quincy feels about Black women.
This was good! Always heard about her because of Pac but didn't know about the other things! 👍🏾❤ looking forward to hearing about IT girls from back in the day!

I find Rashida quite naive, possibly disingenuous about her passing. That girl has been a indie cinema darling for 2 decades, She played white, in each role including when She was involved in the financing and producing of the movie.
Her character's parents were systematically white.
To the point that journalist on the Oscar red carpet telling her She looked healthy because She was tanned and Rashida had to correct her.
Even then She said She was "ethnic", whatever TF that means.
Comparatively Megan Markhle, in Suits, was a nobody then, fought hard with the production and network to include her character being a biracial black women.
Her dad is notorious misogynoirist in the industry, that's what Tupac had an issue with.
EXACTLY
@K Francis
Rashida Jones reads "Eastern European" 😂. That's a new one. Please travel more or get in touch with other ethnicities on your side of the world.
Not by any metrics ,She doesn't reads as East European, not by American nor by European standards. Here in Europe She'd read biracial or Southern European/Mediterranean.
Even in Ukraine, where they have a lot of brunettes with brown eyes( think Mila Kunis or Olga Kurylenko) comparatively to other Slavic or Baltic countries, She would read as foreign.
MY POINT wasn't about her private life. But about her passing privilege. She at least by omission, used It to navigate her industry, access both behind,in front the camera as well as the writing room. Then She made Pikachu's face when people were shocked She was biracial. In that respect I find her naive.
We damn well know that if the roles were reversed, with the same talent and skills, Kidada wouldn't have the same career path in Cinema/TV BUT Rashida in Fashion, will definitely thrive the same, if not more.
The different other famous types that you named actually claim &/or acknowledge their mixedness irl and in their craft, as well as the passing privilege and opportunities that It brought them in their respective line of work. Hell, Wentworth Miller established a mentoring network for p.o.c. aspiring writers because one of his sibling was discriminated against, while He was cruising his way to the top.

The audience would be confused by a person being biracial, when are We? The 50's? If you like your cultural consumption of TV & Movies to be simplistic,with little brain engagement on your part, just say that and go on with your good self. There's plenty of simple TV and movies content to go about and enjoy.
Wanting to be cast close to one's family background, makes for more and new storytelling, since the invention of Cinema, the human experience on screen has been predominantly white and has become, frankly stale.
Right now all eyes are on South Korea, a country that the average person in the West, knows little about culturally, yet People, worldwide, enjoy their TV and movie output. Global audiences don't seem confused, do they?
Wanting new and different faces, new and nuanced stories makes for a better movie industry. It has shown to be both profitable and enjoyed by the general public.
@@kfrancis1872 it’s not black peoples job to acknowledge you. Y’all never have this same energy for white people who don’t acknowledge that you’re half white. It’s not black peoples responsibility to uplift and take one for the team for the biracial black people.

I think you should do a video on Megan Good she was the literal IT girl in the 2000s I love her
Now that's an IT girl
I love me some Megan Good!!
Oh yeahhh, that's a good one
YES MAAM! Infamous party girl!
Oooo yesssssss
I never knew much about her or that Quincy Jones was a co-founder of VIBE magazine. Thanks for putting this video together.
Thank you so much for this! I was familiar with Kidada, but only as "Quincy Jones' daughter/Rashida's sister/Tupac's girl". I had no idea how much she did, the moves she made, the effects she had on culture. This was really fascinating. Great work as always.
Yea or her witchcraft!!!!!!
LMAO LL Cool J was like “I gotta get away from this hocus pocus woman”.
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
LOL ❗️❗️
He was smart
Hell he’s in the industry he’s use to
Some weird shit
Her and Aaliyah sound like they had such a great relationship. They were so pretty together too. It's so sad how she experienced tough losses like that in her earlier years.
Kidada went through so much loss and trauma while young! She’s very resilient.
Her "spiritual practices" and Aaliyah's love of gore/horror whilst under her mentorship explains A LOT! Both Aaliyah and Pac were around this chick right before their deaths
She got LL into santeria and he says in his bio he was confronted by the devil to sell his soul and rejected with a loud Noooo!!
@@fredroespi My spirit was not feeling her "spiritual practices" at all. She's off, I can see it in her face. I pray she finds Jesus, that's the only "spiritual practice" that will save you from going where the devil will ultimately end up and his followers.
I was thinking the same thing!!!!! I feel like some of that spirituality stuff comes with a cost . Especially when your praying to another God or idols . It might work at that moment but the devil comes to collect the debt ... I hope she paid attention to that and changed up . Walk on a different path cause that's not it .
@@selenadavis3720 1 Billion people in India have a 5000 year old spiritual tradition called Sanatana Dharma and they good, that tradition inspired Buddhism that then went on to influence billions more in the far East. None of those people lose sleep at night.
i so admired Kidada, Aaliyah and Bijou as a squad in the early 2000’s. i didn’t know that much about them, but i loved how attractive and stylish they were.
They just looked so good together.
i never forgot that Vibe magazine spread which featured the three of them and a fourth girl who i could never remember.
The 4th girl was Natane, Aaliyah’s best friend
Rashida is very biased against her father....his talent has NO BEARING on his character. He has deep issues with what he sees in the 🪞
Facts
And technically 2pac was correct....the kids still messed up....yt ppl rejected her so she ran to black ppl to be her savior
@Mira M very true!
There are a lot of daughters like that
Yeah I have no respect for Quincy. He is a self hatred joke to the black community.
You should do Christina Milian next, she was an IT girl of the early 2000s. The last time I’ve seen Kidada was when she in the On The Run trailer for Beyoncé and Jay Z tour. While she had an amazing life then most, I can’t imagine losing loved ones back to back the way she did. It’s also about time someone did a video on her. Thank you black femininity.
@Anne Day They we’re both in the trailer but only Rashida had a speaking part.
Its such a shame all C Milian does these days is model for fashion nova she is so talented.
Looks like Christine has made significant personal priorities for family in this chapter of life… her career slowing but in tact… been pretty up to point 2017, she married a super successful French singer, songwriter artist (Matt Pakora) and they have two baby boys, born in 2020 & 2021, and raising Violet, her & the Dreams 11 year old daughter..seem to have an amazing life with hands full.. living from across the waters (U.K.) to state side, but making it work… Best wishes !!! Awe 💘💕
@@locturallylocs9097 actually she stays working, shes not just milling about trynna figure out what's next for her career, plus shes a mom and has a fiance. She's very much happy these days check out her IG.
Talkin bout shorty who got nasty on the studio floor with Wayne while she was wit dre from terror squad?
At first I was hesitant to click the vid but I am so happy I did.. this woman made a impact in three iconic people lives before their death and shifted the fashion industry. Crazy to know I've never heard of her back story till today because I only recognized her from being the eye candy with Tupac. 💜
*Michael Jackson friendship too….
same here glad i clicked, never heard of her. at first i thought she looks just like Aliyaah
It’s crazy how all these people dead 🙆🏽♀️🥴
@@julslatt6294 crazy how she was around all these people now they're dead.
@@GiftofTheKnowledge Word up! A lot of stuff she touched, died. Who and what she worshipped back then probably has a lot to do with it. And they're not even mentioning all the deaths. Static Major was Aaliyah's boyfriend during those years of friendship and he's not here anymore either... This whole situation is probably way deeper than we'll ever know. LL's album failing is the first example.
I can only imagine how heavy Kidada's heart was over the years. She's definitely a 90s ICON 💎
I just want to say how important your documentaries are. They bring so much light to those we don’t hear enough about.
I watch Gene Deal who is a Diddy’s former bodyguard. He has a few stories mahout Kidada and I became intrigued about her and 2pac 👀
This is so fascinating, I didn’t know about the different experiences she and Rashida had. It’s almost crazy how Rashida is on the screen, this perfect but “real” girl next door yet she grew up so fancy.
I love that Kidada was friends with Aaliyah! I thought she looked like Aaliyah a bit and had that same laid back, confident vibe.
Another amazing video essay , thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤟🏼
Diana Ross oldest daughter Rhonda had different experiences growing up being all black with her half white sisters. Rhonda did a interview yrs ago with Essence detailing how she had different experiences
Yeah there was a documentary on Netflix about the Joneses and Rashida was going on and on about how she basically would just “pass” for white and would deny/hide her blackness.
It's not shocking it still happening now ppl live this life every day but of course I know y u are shock
Neither did I. I didn't know that Kidada had a learning disability, either, although some people with learning disabilities do overcome them later on and go on to be successful in the fields that suit their talents.
Yes i read an article and Rashida said she went back and forth with her blackness but decided she didnt fit in so she basically accepts being a white girl while kidada clings to mostly blk people
Those Michael Jackson photos are something else, he looked absolutely stunning.
I would also consider Ananda Lewis an IT Girl. She was everywhere. Can you do a video on MTV's black VJs (downtown Julie Brown, Bill Bellamy, Ananda, etc.), or black female Real World Cast members?
This is a good one
I met Julie Brown in LA she was very nice and took pictures with us. She still looks the same!
Not Bill Bellamy lol
Good one!!
Great selections of people👍
Thank you for making this video showcasing her contribution to the culture cause before this all I knew was that she was with pac and who her dad was this was really really good andi didn't even know she and Aaliyah was so close and for her to get a style icon like The King of Pop MJ to wear stuff that he had nothing to do with is genius 👏👏👏👏
My goodness MJ was already fly af and now I seen him in some hip hop gear?!! Wowww 🖤🖤 Kidada was that girl!!
The only part I didnt know about was her involvement with Tommy Hilfiger. I remember the whole rumor about the brand not wanting to style black people, and now as an adult I've discovered that was a big lie. I lowkey feel bad about how that probably affected Tommy Hilfiger and his family
Exactly then you have actual racist brands like Marc jacobs and Gucci getting all true black dollars smh
@@Jess-ew3tm well Marc Jacobs isn’t one now Gucci and Fendi yes
You are right but Tommy did offend Nas on a yacht and introduced him as his rapper friend and told him to rap like he was a slave to tap dance
@@rosegoldbanks4842 marc jacobs definitely said that black girls appropriate white culture by wearing blonde wigs after someone called him out for Gigi and kendall & co rocking faux dreads on his runway lmfaoo these brands just don’t gaf 😭
I remember I stopped wearing Tommy when that rumor came out...Only to find out it was a huge lie
I remember Kidada Jones being a 90s kid/teenager I thought she was so pretty.
She dated all the 90s hotties/men and definitely was an IT girl before the Paris Hiltons, Kim Ks etc
I would hardly compare her to Lori Harvey, Kim K and Definitely not Paris Hilton. Kidada actually worked her azz off while the other girls pretty much just give up some ass every chance they got. Gotta respect this girls work ethic.
@@the4cqueen148 Paris Hilton has started many businesses of her own. Her tape came way later. It was not to get her famous like Kim k
Which 90's hot men did she actually date besides LL cool j and Tupac? Lol she wasn't high in demand like that. Which why I don't understand why she was an IT girl, simply because of who she was tied with.
@@the4cqueen148 ok
@@Luckimee exactly
I loved her from the moment I saw her style MJ for the vibe shoot. That was the ONLY time we’ve seen MJ in “normal” urban clothes & he nailed it 🤩
He didddd
yessss lawd
I remember I read an article titled “who prays for Kidada Jones?” and it has stuck with me. Thank you for this!
She experienced alot of high profile deaths,and that can hold a heavy weight on the psyche!! Pray she alright today and making great moves, she's extremely talented like her Mom and Dad ❤️
I’m glad through it all she stayed true to herself, her beliefs, and her hardwork. No matter what people said about her. Wishing her well 🙏🏾
I am laughing so hard at how LL chucked the deuces on Kidada's spiritual foolery 🤣😂🤣. She scared him so much he gave his life to Jesus & married his now wife.
I was looking for this comment 🤣🤣
Wow this woman got Michael to switch up his style and gave her complete control. That is amazing . What a great memory to have of him.
!!!
She was practically his niece; I loved that photoshoot! I remember how big of a deal it was to see him dressed like that
He looked good too chile 😍
@@urmom777 I know that’s right
Yeah, that was one of the surprisingly amazing part of her story..
Kidada is a beauty 😍 In some pictures of her and Aaliyah from the 90s they could pass for sisters. I think Kidada is really cool, I like how laid back and private she is.
This literally was soo good...thanks for taking the time to put together this doc...its greatly appreciated...i admire your work.
This is so sad 😞
Everyone she loved passed away
I can’t imagine the pain
Kidada is gorgeous and seeing Aaliyah photos always makes me tear up 😔
A lot of black blogs especially in the early 2000s labeled Kidada as a fast girl that was smashing any rapper she could get with. It’s refreshing to see a different perspective on her life.
To keep it real the LL article basically say that's what time it was
@@jellowmisses4532 ok!!!
Black people always label black women and girls as “fast” and “grown” it piss me off they say shit like that
You never hear them call white girls fast when they be doing shit tho
They don’t even say the same things about black men that sleep around with every fucking woman in the world
Kidada is gorgeous 😍 she looks more like her mom and Rashida looks more like Quincy.
Even though Rashida was more white passing. She has her dad's facial features. Kidada has mom's facial. Both are beautiful though. 🙂
I agree. She literally has her mom's face.
Rashida is wack
I love ❤️ Kidada! She has such wonderful style! I remember the magazine she styled for Michael Jackson! I bought the magazine because I was and still a big fan of Michael Jackson! She did a wonderful job styling him! I’m a Fashionista myself and I love her 90’s looks! Thanks for the video! I truly loved it! Bye for now!
He ate downnn
Damn Aaliyah’s mom had everybody watching her daughter but herself…
Same thing i thought, anyone being a guardian smh
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I said the same thing
I’m so upset that I didn’t know how amazing she is. The media didn’t cover that 🥺
@Love Jones stop making up things
This was a great video! I loved learning about her experience in fashion, wardrobe styling and recruiting. I feel like most of the time, the It Girl always seems to have everything while doing nothing lol sis was working 👏🏾
I agree
I always wanted to know more about her relationship with Aaliyah. Inlove with the respect that she always kept for Aaliyah. I wonder what boundaries were crossed & why her chaperoning, the ICONIC Aaliyah, was a “nightmare”. Always loved them together. It was always said that Kidada was this big, bad influence on Aaliyah. Who knows but may Sweet Aaliyah, rest in heavenly peace. ❤️
Same and whoever said that needs to shut up because kidada at the end of the day made Aaliyah happy 😊
I'm thinking her marriage to R. Kelly along with the abortion situation came up.
Yessss
@Love Jones Many people said I was passed around in highschool. Doesn’t mean it’s true.
@@bliss2.068 Poor example
🤩I cried this was touching so damn sad how this women has 🫶so much influence and trending talent "SHE IS THE IT GIRL" beautiful boasting video of her life and friendship with great icons 💟
It's so interesting to see the drastic difference from the 90/00 to the 2010s && how celebrities looked before the boom of extensive plastic surgery. Kidada was just a beautiful girl w/a great sense of fashion. In today's world she would have needed to have a nose job, fillers, Botox, BBL, Boob implants ... just to pull a modem day rapper of fame like Tupac & LL Cool J. That's a damn shame 😞 I'm sorry for this generation.
She is so beautiful. She has been so low key and is u like any other celebrities. She really could be out here telling all kind of business and instead she is a queen writing books helping girls and not flaunting privilege .or dropping names . IT GIRL !!!

I was today years old when I learned about this woman. Thanks for doing this! I'm trying to wrap my brain around what it must be like to be the daughter of Quincy Jones!
Eurocentrism is so prevalent in many indigenous cultures. The lighter you are, the more preferential treatment you receive. She's naturally beautiful.
This video was so on time , I think a lot of us wondered more about Kidada. Very well done as usual !!
This was a blast from the past. So refreshing to see her story brought to life. I hope you do more videos about It girls during this era as well.
Thank you for making a positive video about Kidada. Seems like a lot RUclipsrs focus on the negative hearsays about her. I feel like a lot of Tupac friends who did interviews about her hated her because they didn't understand her & felt that her & Tupac were an odd couple. People tend to hate what they don't understand or see as different and that's sad.
I like this comment I have been a fan of her for 9 years and it’s true . Tupac fans are very envious of her for no reason she doesn’t even talk about him and barley uses social media
@@kaialovegerber9977 envious of what?? Times have passed, she’s not an IT girl. It’s been 20+ years please heal and get over it
@@kaialovegerber9977 I don't think they hate on her because they are jealous. I think they hate on her because she's different and they just don't understand what Tupac saw in her. Also a lot fans go by hearsay and none of Tupac's friends had anything good to say about Kidada. Also a lot of the fans don't like the fact that she covered up the tattoo she got of Tupac. And they often compared and contrast Kidada's way of grieving over losing Tupac to Lauren London's way of grieving over losing Nipsey Hussle.
@@chan2009ify why are you so upset? Lmfao
If you read the stuff that her and her family put out after he died, then you would understand why
I'm so gald you did this. Kidada Jones really deserves her flowers. I always thought she was cool.
I had no idea she had learning disabilities, great that she found her calling so many kids never get that chance.
She was beautiful they probably were jealous of her in high school.
I don’t believe ppl were jealous of her in high school. She’s cute but she wasn’t a celebrity. She just associated with a lot of them. No one was jealous.

Great great video girl!! 🔥I would love to see more black IT girls from the 90’s to now if possible.
I appreciate kidada. It was nice to “get to know her” a bit since I’ve never really heard of her before or knew what she did besides being associated with Aaliyah and 2pac.. I appreciate her loyalty on not trying to make money off of doing interviews and talking to every interviewer about Aaliyah and pac.
so sad u changed the theme bc i loved it but AHH SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!!
Girl!!!!! You put in work thank you for this, your video’s are lifetime jewels
Mr Quincy Jones is very talented and has done a LOT with his career that had earned him a great deal of respect. Tupac was (also) pissed off over things he didn't mention and would not talk down about that man like that for nothing.
There is wayy more than what meets the eye here.
This was so well done!
When I say I Still have those VIBES... If there is any magazine I miss.. It's Vibe... Kidada is definitely the original Lori Harvey... I think you're being nice and respectful because the stories of these relationships being on break isn't what others say.. But it is what it is... She is definitely the blueprint of an IT girl for those who have come after her.
My bestie mother use to have the subscription for Vibe and she would get so mad at us because we would steal the magazine before she could read it lol....sighs the nostalgia
I still have mine too. Along with my word up and right on magazines. But I definitely still have the vibes
Lol she definitely wasn't the original Lori Harvey at all and I don't recall her being high in damand. Her speciality is being tied to deceased superstars and having a famous dad
Is Lori Harvey really an It girl though? (serious question) cause I don’t recall.
@@thetruesoulofanaquarius9302 Before Vibe it was "Right On" magazine

Yet cheats on his wife???
Just like people have sex before marriage etc don't act special
@@shaesdivinetarot exactly lol 😂 these are the same people that eat bottom feeders, wear mixed fabrics, cheat, idolize money and fame, etc. They don’t take their religion that seriously if they ignore half of the teachings and apply what u want 🤷🏽♀️
@@AFOS94 As far as what the Old Testament says about what not to eat (shell fish), God actually cleansed all of the animals, so we can eat the once forbidden animals. This is mentioned in the New Testament. Moreover, the Bible also addresses how we are free from the old law and abide under grace now. Finally, all of us are imperfect and have sinned/do sin/will sin. Our sinful nature is precisely the reason why Jesus (who is perfect) came to shed his blood by sacrificing his life and was raised from the dead on the 3rd day...so that we can ask God for forgiveness and have a chance to repent from our sins (even daily). We all need Jesus, everyday. We are only made new creatures through faith in Jesus Christ (not by our own image or effort). So believing in Jesus Christ and understanding that we are saved by grace through faith alone... is the essence of our faith while repenting from sin in the name of Jesus is our lifestyle not a religious practice. Claiming to be perfect is not what being Christian entails. Only when Jesus returns will we be made righteous, sinless, and live forever in peace with God.
If you're interested in learning more, please read the Holy Bible kjv.
LL grew up Christian, a believer (which is not the same as being "spiritual" as kidada was). To that end, LL knew that Kidada was into witchcraft and idolatry. Although he was tempted and joined in for a second (he was imperfect), he quickly separated himself from her. LL knew that they were unequally yoked: light and dark do not have anything in common/cannot hangout (paraphrased) according to the Bible.
Jesus Christ is the [only] way, the truth, and the life.
This was such a good video. I think the next it girl you should cover is Noami Campbell.
Thank you for shining the light on a very talented woman
I wud luv to see a video on Tisha Campbell. That for sure was the "IT" girl of the 90's. From House Party to Martin. She even cud sing and dance. It's a shame she didn't get to hav a successful music career, becuz she really had talent.

Y’all remember ppl claimed that Tommy said he didn’t want black ppl wearing his stuff? He hired black stars to promote his stuff but ,ppl believed it anyway. Great job on the video.
Yes what happened with that
Aaliyah literally inspired a new generation towards Tommy. Such an ungrateful man...
I literally just looked up "where is Kidada now" lol still as beautiful as ever. I loved these couples back in the day before social media took over and magazines were a thing! 😩
This was really nicely done? So many details I never knew.

That photoshoot with Michael Jackson was 🔥🔥. It must be still hurt Kidada to see pics or vids of Aaliyah and Tupac.
Long overdue. Thank you so much. Have happy holidays. 💗
Thank you so much for doing this. It is so much I learned about Kidada in this video. She was always marching to her own beat. Everyone was wearing Tommy Hilfiger in the 90s in the streets in all the music videos. Thanks for clearing up the rumor about the brand that wasn’t true. She got to be around major music giants and influential people like Michael Jackson. I enjoyed this so much. Keep up the excellent through research on your topics.

Oh I so love this girl she seems like she had so much life in her an fun she was so true to everyone
I had never heard of her until now. So she is the one who brought the street look to Thommy Hilfiger. Wow, never knew that. What a creative eye she had. She basically helped his company grow and become what it is today. I hope he gave her stock options in his company. Money is nice, but stock is better.
No Aaliyah was the first to being in the look.
@@shenyae4143Aaliyah was in the look because of Kidadah being her friend ! She was apart of the process of designing and creating the street wear line which was inside of the video if you've watched it ..

Yes ma’am.
I’ve seen pictures of Kidada my whole life and have never heard her speak until this video. Wow

Yep! Took the words out of my mouth. If Quincy could erase his blackness I'm sure he would. He is no icon to the black community but a sad, self hatred joke kissing white people's a^%&
He had kids all over the world & did not take care of them. Ever since I watched his documentary I just don't see him the same.

Kidada was so pretty. Its werid how times are still the same. Its sad how she went through colorism when she was little especially by her own family members.

@@princessmajesty8676 Yes now a days its hard to find a friend like that🥺😭
Perhaps Quincy should have thought about that before impregnating her Caucasian mother. Unfortunately the Black looking daughter was treated poorly but what's ironic is that the parents felt the same way about a Black man as Quincy feels about Black women.
