Can we just embrace the fact that she’s almost 50! Looking like she’s in her 20s ! 😱
Ikr She is so gorgeous😍❤🌟🌟🌟🌟
She looks ammmmazing!
Fr she’s aging like wine😍
She is absolutely beautiful....Yeeeesssss
And she looks YOUNGER in person!!! And she's tiny!
This "Finding" series is the best thing to hit BET in years!
Kylin Johnson Yesss!!
Glad you enjoy it!
You right. Wish it was longer
Kylin Johnson BET been on the ups since the new edition special.
Kaylin, true dat mama
Whoever made this series, deserves a promotion. It’s so nostalgic and great for the artist!
I second that

I agree - heavily. I wonder if they'll be more. Kind of bittersweet.. if theres more that means... more heartbreaking stories... but also chances at redemption... unique, you know?
Timbaland and Missy didn't listen to the radio that's why they're beats and music were so on point! 💥
So they could stay creative an not mimick anyone else's sound or style
Jayz said the same thing when they asked you is his favorite rappers....he just named the great mt rushmore:
Kool G rap
Big Daddy Kane
Rakim
Krs One
he added Biggie to make it 5
as the GOAT
Different
Yea!
You are 100% correct. Even Timbaland's 1998 album "Life From Da Bassment" really reflected the range of his musical abilities and unique style. Devante may have been a harsh azz dude but this approach really proved to introduce the world to true talent
She said "this new R&B is just a sample of the old R&B" PREACH!!!
Yassssss!
It's the truth no original
Ms Floyd But this is the thing, what artist out there dead or alive hasn’t sampled from any of their favorite artist they heard growing up?
Facts lol
That was 100% on point!!!
She is a product of “Black Don’t Crack” ❤️🥰
Love how Missy is always putting people on..
Because Missy was also neglected in the business so she knows how it feels.
That is why she is legendary
Love Missy
Real people do real thing's
She don't keep them on though
Online BET is better than TV BET.

I concur

Absolutely

@William Moore: Facts. Maybe they thought it wld be too much like UnSung?? Idk🤔
She is so soft and feminine. beautiful and smart
Yesss
Hair hat has to go!
Who cares ...With or without, she'd still be GORGEOUS ...and remember: it's just a HAT, that can be very easily removed, like with any other accessory, unlike breast implants
Agreed
Syrr Mogerite Your gut has to go! I just know u have one! 🙄 lol
If you listened to Solange's A Seat At The Table, Jazmine Sullivan's Love Me Back or Monica's Still Standing album, then you will hear Tweet providing background vocals on various of tracks. She may not be in the lime light, but Miss Charlene was collecting her money behind the scenes
@L. G. not just Rise Mad
"Weary" as well. You can hear her loud and clear.
Thanks brother🙌💪💜😘
You can hear her clear on Monica's "So Gone".
Also her, Missy Elliott, & Jazmine Sullivan were on Free Yourself by Fantasia
"Back in the day, we had a gumbo full of artists" 🙌 yes we did
Tweet found the fountain of youth.
girl she is only 44 , fountain of youth is when you reach angela Basett age bracket.
Melanin and veganism
The "fountain of youth" is easy to find, it can come from clean living( no smoking, no drinking, no drama filled lives, exercise, staying away from excessive sugar consumption etc) can have you looking your best no matter what age you are.
Lechiffresix six I read she was born in 1971.
Lechiffresix six no, she's 48 and looks 28...why can't we just congratulate and move on🙄
Man I tell you I miss that sound. That sound from Aaliyah , Timbaland , Missy Elliott and Tweet that they had was amazing. It feels so good when you hear their tunes again.
Back when music had meaning and not all about disrespecting woman and cussing...
Rightttt!! They really made and carved their own lane !!🙌🏾😩🔥🔥 definitely miss their 90’s early 2000’s sound 💜
I grew up listening to all of them when I was kid in the early 2000's and I miss that sound too. Hearing their music brings me back to 2000 to 2002 summer.
+ early Ginuwine
Tweet’s “Southern Hummingbird” album is AMAZING.
My Dream concert is Tweet, Erika Badu, Jill Scott, KEM and Maxwell.
I Love Tweet❤

Tweet was Tweet, before any tweets were tweeted out on Twitter 🤗😚😉😊😁😌😏
Oouuu yes!!!!!! Set that up!
Dam her and her daughter look like sisters. They’re both so beautiful.
Factz
Isla Love: Yes indeed
Right😊
That Instagram pic was crazy! I had to do a double take! Lol
Her daughter and I went to the same church
Her spirit is infectious!!!!! You just wanna see her win and comeback full force!!
Yes! So true! ❤❤❤🙌🏿🙌🏿
Tweet is one beautiful chocolate sista! She still looks the same from 20 years ago 😍🍫
She actually looks lighter than she did back in the day.
ratedrva757 She's still dark skinned. Looks the same to me.
ratedrva757 it’s just camera lighting. She’s still a beautiful dark skin woman
She's much lighter self hatred is real black people must stop this
I dont think she lightened her skin. I believe its her makeup and the lighting of the room.
This interview gave me more respect for Tweet.
Sarah James me too, we had a chance to get to know more about her
She coulda got dressed tho.
@@michaeljarreau3185 notice she didn't mention who her daughters father is.
Stacy Robinson
I’m glad she didn’t, that’s none of our business.
@@Divestedpinoyasawa I went to church with her daughter and found out on my own.
Smoking cigarettes will forever be an unreleased classic, one of my favorite songs from her album.
M i a J & C o. One ☝🏼 of my all time favorite songs!
She actually performed it on Moesha but was pulled afterwards and she lost her endorsements because of the response she gave to the network
The whole album was dope but that was LIT.... pun intended
@@zxb5998 wait... what response did she give to the network and why was it pulled?
@@zxb5998 please elaborate
I don’t know if it’s minding her own business or what but this woman has not aged. I am on that minding my own business drinking water for the rest of my life tip (sips water) ...results pending!!!
😊😊😉
God's anointing on her life. She doesn't look like what she's been through.
Tanaia Armstrong it’s possible. I’m here for it
@@shellgriggs853 so far looks like your on the right track beautiful... Take care 😊
Tanaia Armstrong ty!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
This is my first time really hearing her TALK. Tweet seems really, really chill. Like a cool auntie.
A sexy auntie lol
Absolutely beautiful. As black women are. But they wanna promote Cardi B...👀🤢
She seems like a beautiful wifey-type. Black ppl annoy me with this “auntie” stamp they put on black women.
Paul Smith tweet wasn’t even a rapper so it’s two whole different lanes so the comparison you seem like u reaching
@@epizzle806 wtf are you talking about?😂🤣🤣
Tweet's voice is so relaxing and there is something that is so alluring about her. She is so talented and I wish her nothing but the best.
I always felt like tweet was a. Underated artist.
Yes, true, I wish her the same.
Im abt to listen to southern hummingbird rn… thats my ish one of the best albums ever
Tweet has one of the best voices in music...she is criminally underrated!
Mine 2!
Like #deadass
I'm sure y'all know why... 🤚🏾🤚🏿🤚🏾😒
I remember Tweet and Ashanti came out the same time however Ashanti received a massive push... good to see Tweet still so respected
SlimJones Ashanti was in a bigger label & she was younger so she appealed to the young teen crowd vs Tweet
Yes!! I remember as well! Tho both of them received MAD love.. Ashanti crossover was HUGE! But I do remember BOTH of them getting compared a bit to Aaliyah a bit!
When you got that Irv Gotti engine behind you. You can't expect anything less than a massive push.
“My ears bleed” when mentioning new R&B music. relatable content 🤣
We’re not finding Tweet because she never left ... love her
She just said she took a 10 year hiatus,
She hasn't been on any reality shows or produce any singles
Hey BET what the hell happened to y'all? This is what you should be showing on your actual tv channel instead of the nonsense you show now
Deroi Stewart it's run by white america, so they don't care. Now when it was run by blacks... Bet was 🙌🏽lit
I guess they do this cause no one really watches tv anymore. I sure as hell ain't, but i'll watch these lol
Deroi Stewart Amen
Daddy Redstone won’t let them
Deroi Stewart google Debra Lee and you will get your answer.
I hope periodically Tweet looks at this comment section and know she is loved and her artistry is still appreciated.💜
I loved when she spoke about singing background and doing harmony. People usually look at the background singers and think that they're beneath the lead singer. She's absolutely right when she says it makes the song come alive. I juste love her harmonies and the way her backgrounds sounds. It's heaven to my ears!!!
exactly. just ask Changing Faces. they backed Sybil (don't make me over) until R.Kelly put them in the spotlight.
True. Look at Lisa Fisher's been doing background for years and she can outsing most lead singers. But people forget about her.
I can relate to what she said. I can sing, but IT is Something about singing background Harmony that makes me feel so good!
@Great Scott I think about the background singers for Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder ( his bkgrd singers included Minnie Rippleton & Denise Williams) and Luther Vandross. Those background singers sounded like Angels.
You must have sang backup too. i have so much respect for backup singers. Looks so hard for them to hold back lol. I know they may want to go straight ham on the mic especially since most sing better than the artist. My little sister paid her way through college singing backup and session work. To my surprised it paid well. And when they did not pay her she got studio credit so i guess that was good too. Hope your weekend is going good. Stay well 78mammiie.
I really wish the best for her. The suicidal part really hit me. My mom told me how she heard a voice to harm herself before. Depression is real and we really need to address mental health issues. It's not to be swept under the rug.
@Jerome Griffin IDK what that has to do with mental health...
@Jerome Griffin I meant mental health in the aspect of being on the verge of suicide because you don't have the means to provide for your child. To me skin bleaching is kind of mental health but more so of a self-esteem issue. Regardless, that's her body, like I said I just wish the best for her and her psyche because she mentioned suicidal thoughts more than once.
Plenty people suffer with depression
@@stacyr4768 Were you responding to me or the other guy?
@@lolOloveOlol21 it was a general statement supporting your initial statement.
How has Devonte been able to MOVE in silence all these years and remained silent. He's a clever genius. I LOVE Tweet, her music is SO unique and underrated. I truly believe skin color hurt women the most in music.
Tweet needs a Lady of Soul award or Black Girls Rock award. And she needs a musical tribute with other musical artists.
Agreed
Aaron Mitchell speak it into existence. This woman is phenomenal. Her soul is different.
YES INDEED
It’d be dope if you guys did a “Finding Amerie” or “Finding Melanie Fiona” I miss their beautiful R&B voices and I’ve always wondered why they left the music industry so suddenly. I know Melanie started a family, but I’m sure it’s more to it 😘😘
Amerie has some new music out. O think she has video for her track Curious". You should check it out!
Ameriie has a RUclips channel she uploads all the time.
Amerie is not loss , Beyonce killed her career
lol.. yeah Beyonce did that to Keri Hilson too
@@stacyr4768 wait please elaborate. Did she fall out with be and got Cancelled??? Or she just couldn't keep up with sales???
I like what she said at the end ...she's not religious but she's spiritual , and she has a relationship with the Heavenly Father so I respect that...it's a blessing because tweet hasn't aged at all...she has a sweet vibration about her
I am at the source with mother creation.
Tweet is correct God created black people spiritually not religiously. Religion was constructed by the imperialists for global conquest
Southern Hummingbird is an ABSOLUTE classic, and it is a shame that they would pass on the "Smoking Cigarettes" video: that song was so emblematic of the rest of the album. If you haven't heard it treat yourself.
SO TRUE!!!! Loved this album and that song!
Yessss. Exactly
Heaven is 1 of my favorite songs
Facts
Yeah that still is the jam!
I’m still bumping her music in 2019… She hit the nail on the head when she started talking about the new r & b singers. They all sound the damn same.
So true today's music is crap.
Terrible
Carmilla Stephens Like they're singing from their noses. An whining...ughhh
Carmilla Stephens me too
Nicole Wray, Lil’ Mo, and Tweet were always my favorite vocalists. All 3 of them are so damn underrated, it’s damn near criminal.
FACTS! MAN NICOLE WRAY IS THE TRUTH!!
Yes totally under-rated
She looks great and those boots are everything. I honestly didn't expect to enjoy this interview as much as I did. I like her spirit.
I literally just said the same thing to my partner.
Do she got on an ankle bracelet on the right
BET Has Improved There Content Alot In The Past Year, This Was Great!!!
@L. G.
Exactly. I was having this conversation yesterday
@L. G. BIG FACTS
@Abisola Abiodun OH YES BIG FACTS HUNNY
They came a long way from tip drill lol
Somewhat
I still bump Southern Hummingbird today# good music never goes out of style#classy#classic
Rene Rhymes Ani’t that the truth!
Tanique Brown from the 1st intro to last outro, straight thru Tweet voice makes you want to glide to the rhythm#👂Poetry# Neo soul# these ppl need not sleep on tweet
amazing album
Yesssss I still love it!
She’s a total class act! So classy! Where are these kind of artist at anymore 😩
Tweet has always been so gorgeous😍
“This new age R&B is nothing but sampled R&B...at some point, all of the music is starting to sound the same-like a broken record. My ears bleed.” 😂 she looks SO beautiful, really enjoyed this interview😍
Nika Glows factss when she say that i was like someone knows
Tweet is so lovely. Salute to Missy Elliott, the G.O.A.T!
Missy put people on however her artist never stay on. They vanish
I keep hearing about devante's basement era...we need a biopic
I agree
I remember this time
it was around 1993-1999.
Make it happen BET!!!
Nyesha Brooks but if they do it- it has to be the honest truth. I’m cool with one of the girls from sista and I tell you what- it’s some stories to tell baby
The “GUMBO” of artist we had in the 90’s and late 80’s was the best we had such a variety 🤗
I remember when her and Ashanti albums dropped around the same time and while everyone was playing Ashanti non stop, I had Tweet on constant replay. Smoking Cigarettes, Complain, My Place and Drunk were some of my favs from her first album. :)
Ashanti is wack, she cannot sing
Yesss. My place... singing... you know I'll be waiting for yaaa. I jam all her music very often.
ME TOO! I still play Tweet & Playa's music...
Same 💗 That first album 🔥
Yes. Their albums actually dropped on the same day. Ashanti sold better, but Tweet had the better overall album.
DeVante DeVante DeVante... what a legend.. I wish DeVante would do a documentary or just a simple interview.
T Smith he has one on VLAD TV
Were he at today? Is he sexy AF today?!?
A musical GENIUS derailed by his personal demons. He's definitely an original.
@@goddessjeffries3557 that was Dalvin not Devante
@@nickelwindow53 nope I saw him on something like TMZ he looked like something that fell out the 60s he had on bell bottoms &skinnny just a mess😂
Southern Hummingbird is an AMAZING ALBUM!
And her second album is fiyah too!!!
Agreed!!! Her voice is just everything...
Yes one of my faves
YES IT IS!!! 🙌🏾
I still jam Tweet in 2019!
No you don't she sucks, and is irrelevant to the music industry, she will never be anything.
HenriEats ASMR
Yes I do. Especially her 1st cd. It was a classic.
Me too!
tanarvis tennant me2
Yes🙌
Tweet: The Southern hummingbird 🔥🔥🔥 More life to ya
Tweet is a grandma...looking like she's in her 20's. When I saw this episode on Tweet, I was so excited. Tweet and all of these talented artists from the late 90's & early 00's are my youth. So many memories. You can STILL listen and feel so much.
Smoking cigarettes and Beautiful will always be my jams
"My place" is the jam too...but yesss smoking cigarettes & beautiful as well as Turn the lights off ft Missy....I still listen to those jams till this day 🙌
That whole album was lit.
monique__91 that’s my favorite as well
Yes yes
Beautiful changed me !!
I had to look up her age bc she damn near looks the same she did in the early '00s. HOW is she 48???
Clarissa Explains It All melanin
Wtf she look's hella young. Wow she's beautiful ❤
She looks BETTER!
Clarissa Explains It All beautiful spirit and black don’t crack
48??!!
How am I only just seeing this in 2023!? I've ALWAYS loved Tweet! That whole first album is perfection. Thankyou BET for this series. Looking forward to more Tweet records! XXX
This intimate portrait added even more respect that I have for Tweet. She never hid her story from the public. She always spoke truthfully and you can see how truly genuine she is.
Glad she was open about her depression
I love Tweet's honesty. "I don't have to be on my knees to talk to him". She has always been a pretty girl and now she's a pretty woman.. The background singing is her gospel roots. She has talent as a singer and a writer. I'm happy to hear from her. Looking forward to hearing something new from Tweet..
I was about 17/18 when I first heard Tweet. I miss this era. I'm 35 now and still listen to her ❤
Tweet isn't the type to exploit her sexuality for profit, she is a true talent and a Lady, and this coming from a fan ,she deserves more shine. I love some Tweet.
Her videos stayed on rotation on BET Soul and MTV ugh take me back to my teens Years!
Omg I miss those days so much
I felt her when she said todays R&B sound is all recycled. I say this allll the time. From the recycled beats, to the sound alikes, this is exactly why i dont care for todays r&b music. Because literally everything is recycled!!!
Exactly and no one understand I’ve been hearing the same beats since 2013 and it’s soooooo annoying
BET needs to bring music back! Do y’all agree?
Yes yes yes yes yes all I can say is Yes amen
Yes
Not todays music. It was different back then b/c mainstream music was a whole lot better than it is today
BET has 4 all music stations. BET Soul, BET Hip Hop, BET Jams and BET Gospel.
Video Soul
"The new R&B is like somebody feeding you Burger King or McDonalds." LOL The shade LMAO!!!
Its true lol its wack
I’ve been saying this r&b & hip hop music is like fast food it’s trash

*Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang..... I thought she was dark skin sexy thang back in the day, but wow she aged beautifully!*
jarvis thomas She sure did! She’s gorgeous!
I don’t recall her skin being this light? But maybe I am missing something?!
@@DrBeeSpeaks i was think the same thing i went back and looked at her interviews and she most def was darker but now she lighter hmmmmmm oh well she still pretty tho lol
@@HEAVYCHEVY409 you have to think about the room and lighting. She still brown skin
@@DrBeeSpeaks I'm with you on that. The lighting has nothing to do with her skin being as light as it is now. She was a gorgeous chocolate woman. Still confident and beautiful but I'm not feeling the lightening of the skin.
I swear Tweet is a vampire. She doesn't age...
ɴᴅɢᴏᴄʜʏʟᴅ black don’t crack
ɴᴅɢᴏᴄʜʏʟᴅ She is so gorgeous!
Someone said Tweet is our Sza but actually Sza is their Tweet cuz she was first. Ijs...
Sza is transgender. Tweet is a goddess.
Exactly
Paul Smith lets not do too much cuz that’s rude
@@bananaboat5031 If you think sza is a female you are blind af 🤣😂😂

Beauty is her name. Aging fine like wine!
Even missy aging backwards
A Tweet/Bilal collab album would be nice!
Yes!!!
Yes!! A new collab would jump!
they have a song called best friend on her southern hummingbird album
Agree
That would be amazing
Whew, don’t nothing hit like old school Tweet era R&B ! 😩
damn she looks GREAT..she's 48!
She da same age as missy
Knowles G what wow 😳 she is stunning
More like28..💃🏾
Hell she do
she looks better now and more sultry tan 2002. goes toshow u that we get better with time. her eyes have this mysterious but soulful setting.
Tweet is so beautiful. I feel you girl on todays R&B! I absolutely cannot deal. Thank God for the old school.
Yes because that's all I listen to that new stuff is just a mess
Those hypnotic beats was sooo 2000s and soooo tweet & OMG her daughter is gorgeous
She's so dope and drips sultry chocolate. Soooo fine with a voice that's sooo divine!
Enoch Heavens She's so Beautiful and I love that she has that, Come sit-down, and talk to me, tell me about it, ora. That sister vibe, love her
I’m happy tweet was honest about today’s music because too many artists letting them slide. Yes Tweet let them know it’s trash !
She didn't say that, lol
Stacy Robinson she implied lol
Rich Melanin every one over 40 knows today's music is trash.
@@derricknregina: I concur but I'm under 40!
This interview was sponsored by Damn She Still Fine Inc.
"Her black don't crack. It stay intac'. "
She’s so humble and sweet❤️
Her soul is so Beautiful 😍.... I love Tweet
Her speaking voice is so comforting, I just wanna stay up for hours talking on the phone while I'm smoking cigarettes at night😏
I know the club was lit in Miami when Tweet & Whitney Houston pulled up back then. Who knew they were close friends. Shout out to Tweet one of many fav still 🎧 in 2019.
Back in the mid to late 90s that NY/Va connection of artists was the Motown of the 90s....Tweet, Ailyah, Timbaland, Missy, Ginuwine, Jodeci, Blackstreet, Queen Pen, Playa.
Lot of good memories of club nights.
Blakgod um aaliyah was from Chicago
Queen pen was from bmore
Really...u a mess
Y'all do know all these artists came through producer Devante.
@@rossiethomas Aaliyah was born in Brooklyn, NY.
I’m STUNNED she said she never wanted to be a lead singer! Wow!!!!!
That requires to much pressure. I get it
Now that's a real artist..just the harmony that her passion and love
Wowww she refuses to age . Still Beautiful as ever 😍😍 Oopss will forever be a classic bop ❤️❤️
"Oops (Oh My)" is still my jam all these years later. And I thank God Missy Elliott was there since day one to not only discover her, but helm her out of her suicide attempt. Love the magic these ladies brought on "Southern Hummingbird" (2002) & "It's Me Again" (2005). More to it, I'm pleased to find Missy did a demo for Tweet on "Call Me", learn something new everyday. Thank you BET for this
When I found out Oops was about masturbation I fell in love with it
What about the Charlene album, her most recent work? It's amazing!
Im here for "smokin cigarettes" that song brought me a new way to look at the beauty of music. Thank u Tweet!!!
Southern Hummingbird allll day!!!
Tweet still pretty is there some new music coming 2019
Waheedah's Recipes yes she’s beautiful!
Hopefully. Missy coming thru though
She actually looking Betta
She have heavy amount of makeup on, that's not how she naturally look.
She’s said she has new album in this interview. She just needs to find how to release it.
Southern Hummingbird is one of the greatest, most cohesive albums EVER!!!
Also: that distorted scanline filter really gets in the way of the old photos, i could barely make out anyone's face. stop using that filter, its completely unnecessary.
She sounds like noone. Her voice is a league of it's own.♥️
"It's not religious, it's spiritual". I love that.
Just like the bible spiritual does not talk of religion 😍😍😍
first of all, this room is inspo for my damn living room because this neon citrus thin thing look NOICE!
25:18 preach Tweet. She’s 100% right. Music has lost its individuality. Unoriginal, mass-produced “music” churned out, absorbed and thrown away. As fast as it comes, it goes. Someone needs to bring the soul back to the mainstream.
Your last sentence hits hard. Finally someone understands. The good music exists but not in the mainstream. Which is sad but at least it exists.
I’m picturing Devante with the dog intimidating Missy and ‘em like Martin 😭😭😭
Rothf🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That had me tickled! 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She aged backwards.....but her album is just everything she has a beautiful and unique voice😍😥
Fa real tho! She got tht Benjamin Button
She’s so chill& mellow😍
I love the idea of this series !! Bringing attention back to our people ✊🏾 love it ❤️
@L. G. Right
Yess
Yes! We have some more great people lined up! #Staytuned
BETNetworks we can’t wait ✊🏽
STILL blasting “Southern Hummingbird” baby!
A common theme I've noticed in this docu-series is that a lot of the artists in the 2000's were in the middle or about to be at the height of their careers, but then were caught up in a record label merger, or their record labels really dropped the ball. I tried to look into what these mergers were but couldn't find anything. Can anyone explain what happened to the record labels at the time and why they were selling out and/or just not taking care of their artists anymore?
Not sure but it seems like digital music streaming happened and a lot of companies didn't know how to properly adjust and that's what killed many artist careers.
That and probably the Def Jam effect: new bosses not only merged record labels, but they also merged promotion teams and execution. So, not only were different labels merging (I think J Records, RCA, and Jive merged), they only took care of new acts and not the veterans, AND everyone had the same promo style. Like come on, you can't give LL Cool J and Brandy (just an example) the same promo style? They have different demographics
Yep I see that too!
Gosh she's so beautiful and haven't aged since " call me". Also Missy is an amazing person she is also beautiful inside and out.
