Disney lost a good one. She would’ve torn up that industry, if they had given her the same opportunity they gave zendaya then we all would’ve been happy
Anna L 😩 I love her so much. Just like Nicole Beharie from Sleepy Hollow 😭 They knew she was sick and still black balled her. That is one of the worst anime betrayals, and, I put that on my mamma; I’m never forgiving them 😤
"yes, I did that! and you would do it too for a check" OMG I've been hearing this voiceover on tiktok and other videos and I just realized it came from you lol !
Now I don’t think she wants to work with disney again. Because like she got did dirty by them a lot so I don’t think she would take it for her own respect
@@kennedyjojackson1202 Nah, Disney and Nick are tired now, I honestly didn't know they were still making shows. She needs to get a big break in a movie or a primetime network
"I'm not getting naked for yall" yess! 💜 These entertainment industries are so corrupt in every way from colorism, racism, over sexualization, stereotypical roles, etc.
And now look at you! 3 years later, a Grammy winner!! A freaking star 🌟, getting everything you deserve! We the co captains love you. And we are so glad you didn’t give up. One year can change everything. We’re so proud of you. 🫶🏽
She's so gorgeous. Colorism against dark skin Black women is wild!!! It annoys me that biracial women get all of this applause for "speaking on colorism" but nothing ever changes. When dark skin Black women speak up about colorism, all of sudden we're labeled as "jealous."
does DISNEY notice that the best iconic Disney shows are the ones with the most black people in them , proud family , let it shine , ant farm , kc undercover , true Jackson vp like cmon now .
Hannah Montana, Raven, Lizzie and Wizards were the most iconic shows, period. And I mean that factually, like statistic wise. And movie deal wise. Etc. Sister was actually an ABC Family show...but Disney had a deal with them so they played it. Unfortunately Ant Farm didn’t do that well, neither did KC undercover...I think it was not because the talent wasn’t there but because the generation had grown up and Disney started to change about then. Just didn’t do as well
I get what ur saying but Bella Thorne has defo been abused by the industry don't forget she was just an innocent child u may think she's luckier but you don't know what the industry has put her through I'm pretty sure her family sold her to the industry and that's why she's so messed up
You mean we had zendaya when we could have had coco. Don’t get me wrong. Zendaya is talented and beautiful. But it would have been amazing to see roxy from let it shine become roxy on shake it up.
Disney really thought Zendaya was more marketable because she was black with Eurocentric features. They say they want diversity but they always go for the mixed/light skinned girls. It was so refreshing to see CoCo on screen in a movie with real representation.

She went on tour with Mindless Behavior and then after that I didn’t see her again. She’d pop up as extras in shows like ‘Good Luck Charlie’ but other than that she was gone. She still deserves the world and she’s gonna get it one day♥️
As a young kid i just ADORED her. I could genuinely see myself in her. She was a milk chocolate colored black girl who loved bold colors just like I did. I'd dance in the TJ Maxx mirrors because it reminded me of that one music video scene. She was a good part of the reason I started singing.
Abidjanaise they’d always put light skin or mixed lightskin and white girls on Tv that we grew envious of since it was always being shoved in our faces that they were the definition of beautiful rather than darkskin black women. we wanted to be that definition of beauty
Screw Disney for what they did to Coco. Disney and Hollywood Records (Disney’s record label) really failed their black artists like Raven Symone, China Anne McClain, McClain (the musical group with China and her sisters), Zendaya, Corbin Bleu, Jordan Fisher and Coco Jones. Why couldn’t they have done the same they did for Selena, Miley or Demi or even Bridgit (queen).
Forreal. I hate how they push their black stars to the side. And now there’s barely any black Disney stars, they only cast light skinned, mixed race actors
Kojo Parry you really spilled. I can’t think of one black artist that had the same or similar success as the other ex acts (miley, sel, demi, jo bro’s etc) China, Coco and Zendaya could have had huge singing careers. Also Bridgit Mendler is a queen, so unproblematic too.
Coco and Keke Palmer deserved better! Yes Keke is slightly more known but they’re both way too talented to not be known KNOWN! We gotta be rooting for them!👏🏾 Root for Normani! Root for Chika! Support them! If we want to see more dark skin black women win we have to be on their side and help!♥️♥️
I totally agree..let's not forget about Justine Skye, Ryan Destiny, or Ama Qmata, a young South African actress, and lastly Lovie Simone. All beautiful darker skinned young women who also deserve recognition
But Keke Palmer has been acting since she was a little kid and has had way more projects than Coco Jones. I wish Coco would’ve worked with different people instead of Disney channel.
The also had ant farm on , China show where she was the star of this show with 5 other white kids. They had a pretty singing black already on air doing numbers and a few black extras so they weren’t pressed on getting her in , however they wanted to keep her on the back burner hence why she had a few appearances in shows in order to have the next pretty singing black girl ready to step in if something were to happen to the current one (China at the time ) They had zendaya guest staring on shake it up
Gabrielle Union said that she thought Ryan Destiny looked like her “mini me”. I guess she never saw Coco. This is her twin twin!! Same facial expressions, voice, etc...
Coco is like a beautiful combo Jennifer Hudson and Gabrielle Union 😍 just beautiful in every way imaginable, this girl really needs her own series on Netflix or something!
The thing about compromising your morals is that it’s a rabbit hole. You think you’re doing something once but for good reason, next thing you know you don’t even know who you are or what you stand for. And I’m proud that she stuck to hers❤️
Girl start posting on here often. You don’t have to be fake like traditional RUclipsrs, just be yourself and build your fanbase. I’m sorry all this happened to you😓 i hate the industry omg
#wherearethedarkskinblackgirls please use this on twitter and @ these channels so they wouldn't be able to ignore it. We need more dark skin black girl representation in the industry.
Let me just say, as a white woman, this video is so eye opening. Colorism is real. Racism is real. Black women and men are BEAUTIFUL & God's gift to this earth. Every race and ethnicity is. No one should have to fight tooth and nail for the same chances that others get. I am so sorry that people have to deal with this and any other type of racism & colorism. I know I've never had to go through this and I may never FULLY understand, but I pray that things change and everyone keeps fighting for what is right. I support you and I am behind you every step of the way.
As a white girl, I have to let you know how much I adored you when I was little. Whenever we would do these "get to know me" assignments in school, I would write you down as my favorite singer or actress.
yeah as a white girl i lovvvved her in let it shine! her beauty and personality was so loveable. i always wondered why she didn’t pop off because of how talented she was. welp now i be knowin😐
It’s crazy how in the movie her character was struggling to show her real self Because she had to keep a certain image and that’s exactly what happened in real life🤭
Yeah thats how it is with most entertainers. It’s a business at the end of the day. These record labels, studios whatever most of them only care about money. Not art If you want to do your own thing you’ll have to be independent put out your stuff on your own. On your own time and money. Not on someone else’s. If it’s seen that you have a huge following/ fans/supporters then major labels will sign you as you are and tell you to keep doing what you’re doing because you have the fan base. What you’re doing is marketable there’s proof. If you had a record label making millions of dollars and you know people who look, sing, dance and dress a certain way that gets a lot of attention which brings in millions of dollars. Sex sells unfortunately. And that’s what the industry goes for. So Then you sign an artist who you discovered from a movie who looks and sings exactly the way that gets a lot of attention who in your eyes can sell sex basically but first they need to dress and dance in away that has always brought a lot of attention/money to your record label but the artist you brought into your million dollar record label wants to do her own thing on your dime. Wants to do whatever she wants, sing however she want, dress and dance however she wants to dance and dress. Are you going to take a gamble and spend a lot of money on this new artist who wants to do whatever she wants not knowing whether it’s going to make you money? Knowing you can possibly loose a lot of money letting your new artist do whatever she/he wants. People don’t think about the business aspects of it. A record label or studio you sign to are paying you close to millions of dollars at this point a lot of them are going to think they own you because of how much they are spending on you. You’re basically a product Especially if you sign a contract that gives them a lot of power over you and your music. And if they are able to have sex with you mean that you’re willing to do anything they want you to do. Sex in the industry is more about power and control
@Estela Lopez lol uhhh Taylor swift was recently was in twitter complaining about the fact that scooter Braun owns the rights to her music. Which is how it is with most artists who sign on to record labels. Meaning they can do whatever they want with your music and get paid for it. If they decide to use your song for a commercial they will get paid for it not you. All you get is a small percentage of your record sales. Billie eilish is good she started off independent build a following through RUclips and various forms of streaming services she had a huge supportive fan base already before she signed with a record label. So she’s able to be herself dress however she wants to dress, sing however she wants to sing, write her own songs, use her own producer, and record at her home. She already proved whatever she’s doing sells. So yeah she’s going to be happy.
space yeah even within diversity, it’s forced and fake most of the time lolol They want to point the finger and viewers/supporters/fans when the real dirt is behind the scenes more than not.
Disney Channel is such a disgusting, horrible, and toxic channel. You're telling me that they deny Coco her own TV series but give television series to actors and actresses who can't even act? That's beyond unfair. The channel is filled with so many colourism it's crazy. I'm so glad Coco told her story. She deserved better.
@@sandrao6837 Bizaardvark and Dog With A Blog were both mistakes. Bizaardvark was just a rip off of ICarly and the actors on that show couldn't even act. Dog With A Blog is even more stupid. The premise or plot of the show makes no sense.
I mean my cousin played an extra on Bizardvark, and im happy that they let my black cousin represent FOR ONE EPISODE for the black natural hair community lmfao, but the scene my cousin in was so corny , the whole show was😭.
They wouldn’t let her get her own show but they let these little white children who most defo cannot act get a show every 3 months. Smh God bless you Coco for standing your ground! This will definitely NOT go unnoticed by God. Stay blessed xoxo

Came here after watching her win that BET award. I cried with her. I’m soooo happy for her. It’s just something about her that I vibe with, she just seems so cool and chill.
She should have been the next Disney star. It's crazy how showbiz works. And it's also crazy how she played a character who also didn't want to be limited by her creative spirit and it happened to her in real life.

I loved Coco in Let It Shine, but after watching this, I am devastated that she was treated this way. However, I have SO much more respect for her than I did before, because she stayed true to herself and her morals (even if that meant giving up HUGE opportunities) and THAT is a TRUE SUPERSTAR!
Listen, all I know, is that when a Jennifer Hudson biopic is in the works, I’m gonna need them to choose you to play Jennifer. Because not only do you look A LOT like her, you can SANG, and I’m sure you can do Jennifer’s voice. Girl, I’ll be supporting all the way - music, movies etc! ❤️ Edit: Thank y’all for the likes 🥺, big up unu self!
I just remember my mom being so happy to see you on my screen. you were the brown skin black girl I could look up to on disney and I was really looking forward to continuing to see you. their loss
Yeah but sadly this industry is not just about talent it about your skin color and who you know and that’s the sad part is that you can’t make it in this industry with just talent
this was so eye opening. girl tbh, just start posting on here. you don’t even have to be traditional, you can post what u want, gain an audience, get that CHECK, and then in comes the deals, sponsors, brands, pr lists, auditions, bookings, all that. get the representation and attention you deserve! from people who actually want you FOR YOU, times are changing, i think i can speak for all of us when i say i wanna see you get the opportunities you deserved but unfortunately missed out on.
I’m so sick of the colorism, racism, and sexism!!!!!!! This is one of the most beautiful women ever and they were trying to white wash her instead of embrace her!!! Makes me 🤢🤢🤢

Girl, you don't have to be preppy or put out fake energy to be a youtuber. It honestly refreshing to see someone be genuine. Black female youtubers like Kelly Stamps, Kai Foster, Halfrican Beauty, and a bunch more come out with raw energy. They're all get by doing their own thing too. There is a fan base out there for you. Shoot I'll support you and keep up w your content. This is one of few platforms where you can get by making the content you want (to some degree). Please try it and don't look back.
I gave up on my modeling career because of colorism! I felt everything you said. You 100%have my support!the first time I saw you I was so excited to see a young dark skin girl on tv! 🥰🥰🥰
Life is Literally what you Make it! I Love walking into places being a Beautiful woman with Dark Skin! Beauty comes in all shades but if your mindset is on so called ‘colorist’ you will be greatly affected because of the energy you put into the universe.... Look a Moni Long Gorgeous killing the Game unapologetically with her Stunning Looks! Ion see dark skin I see Beauty period 🥰
This is VERY unfortunate but nobody is pointing out the irony between Coco and her character Roxy👀 Roxy was trying to do her own thing too, despite what the label/industry wanted her to do. You will come on top like her boo!
Yeah it’s a business move for example the lion king original is white mostly but they made the live action all black huh?? Just like with Black Panther made the cast all black for marvel but..why couldn’t they have done it earlier?? Only time they had a black director n crew was for that movie but not that strange... Make matters worse Halle Bailey is Little Mermaid they just want our money even recently John Boyega called out Disney for using his skin color just to make money for the force awakens ahhh Hollywood racism at its institutionalized finest
@@trealapre We can’t trust Disney anymore they have crossed too many lines and to make matters worse they own Black Panther rights so we can’t keep those good superheroes
dog with the blog was just dumb in my opinion. it was about a taking dog. i bet if coco had a show, disney would've got so much money because people wanted to watch coco because we knew her from let it shine.
I can’t imagine her thinking she’s about to have her dream life and they act like they’re going to give it to her and then just completely take it all away from her and she was a child
Guys we seriously have to back Coco like with everything she does!! We can’t let history repeat itself , black girls particularly dark skinned black girls need to see that their dreams are just as achievable as the next girl !!
Honestly though, when you said "get a platform where you can have a fan base that they can't take away from you" golden! Especially with how grimy labels can be, this is good advice for striving artist.

I was agreeing with you until you said Disney failed Zendaya. If anything she is the poster child for Disney child stars done right.
She said she didn't learn anything in HS but she learned how to not sign just any contract or fall for the okey doke....and that's what counts.

So Disney y’all let “Best Friends Whenever” happen, but y’all couldn’t give Coco her own show? Chile...
and about that trash ass show ... all I see are colonizers everywhere. where is the flavor?
RIGHT and 'girl meets world" the show had 2 black characters and made the characters look like bad guys or "ghetto"
@@lahxze140 there was a 2nd black character? Where? When?
@@grass6740 I think they're talking about Vanessa
Fr the how didn't even last
Personality & Authenticity on 100, she deserves a larger fan base. This girl works HARD!!
Facts 💯
Shell have to sell soul for that platform...dint do it... Love ur songs
@@PIMPSTREZZ-DNA-FAM So your saying she would have to sell her soul for more people to like her?🤔
I can't wait to really see her flourish omggg she's amazing!
Fr!
Disney really released 2 movies with people of color in them within like a week of each other and said “that’s enough 😌”
Us: This ain’t enough
Disney: Make it enough
Iykyk
✨make it enough✨
LMAO
The also had ant farm on , China show where she was the star of this show with 5 other white kids. They had a pretty singing black already on air doing numbers and a few black extras so they weren’t pressed on getting her in , however they wanted to keep her on the back burner hence why she had a few appearances in shows in order to have the next pretty singing black girl ready to step in if something were to happen to the current one (China at the time )
They had zendaya guest staring on shake it up
Tayrell Jackson guest starring? Zen days was a main character on shake it up
Gabrielle Union said that she thought Ryan Destiny looked like her “mini me”. I guess she never saw Coco. This is her twin twin!! Same facial expressions, voice, etc...
I was only scrolling to find this comment. YES! ❤ JUST EVERYTHING!
Yes
To me, she looks like Jennifer Hudson ❤️
Nah she look more like Jennifer Hudson
Coco is like a beautiful combo Jennifer Hudson and Gabrielle Union 😍 just beautiful in every way imaginable, this girl really needs her own series on Netflix or something!
the fact that let it shine didn’t have the 2nd one pisses me off to another level😭😭 i LOVED let it shine
Kenadi Jackson right 😭😭😭
I know sis wanted to say they wanted her to be white 🧐
Or light.
@@AmazingGracer45 You mean like Zendaya(love her, but I feel like there was some colorism going on between the producers).
Event Planner that !!
@@eventplanner461 Zendaya spoke on this. Producers told her she was the "acceptable black girl".
Or lightskin
I want her to win so bad.
Right! It was so unfair it makes me so sad I feel like she could've been farther than what she is now
HENRY TOLBERT I don’t know what the win thing is but she is a famous Disney kid and the movie she was in that blew up was let it shine
Ugh yes 😩💕
HENRY TOLBERT win=her being successful
Yes I want all black Woman to win
The thing about compromising your morals is that it’s a rabbit hole. You think you’re doing something once but for good reason, next thing you know you don’t even know who you are or what you stand for. And I’m proud that she stuck to hers❤️
Girl start posting on here often. You don’t have to be fake like traditional RUclipsrs, just be yourself and build your fanbase. I’m sorry all this happened to you😓 i hate the industry omg
#wherearethedarkskinblackgirls please use this on twitter and @ these channels so they wouldn't be able to ignore it. We need more dark skin black girl representation in the industry.
Yes
yes!!
dia dia yes I think she’ll become a big RUclipsr
Nice advice Dia
Let me just say, as a white woman, this video is so eye opening. Colorism is real. Racism is real. Black women and men are BEAUTIFUL & God's gift to this earth. Every race and ethnicity is. No one should have to fight tooth and nail for the same chances that others get. I am so sorry that people have to deal with this and any other type of racism & colorism. I know I've never had to go through this and I may never FULLY understand, but I pray that things change and everyone keeps fighting for what is right. I support you and I am behind you every step of the way.
❤️❤️❤️❤️Here before all the negative comments. Thank you so much,you are very kind☺️
@@NewWaveEnthusiast I'm just speaking my truth. If there are negative comments, so be it! This world needs change & it starts with ourselves. 💞💞

she just has that type of loveable personality... I can see her having a talk show with keke Palmer

Wishing her the very Best.

As a white girl, I have to let you know how much I adored you when I was little. Whenever we would do these "get to know me" assignments in school, I would write you down as my favorite singer or actress.
yeah as a white girl i lovvvved her in let it shine! her beauty and personality was so loveable. i always wondered why she didn’t pop off because of how talented she was. welp now i be knowin😐
that's so cute 🥺🥺
awwwww thats really sweet
I love this.
now shes a grammy winner 🤭🥲
It’s crazy how in the movie her character was struggling to show her real self
Because she had to keep a certain image and that’s exactly what happened in real life🤭
Shit is so twisted, how Hollywood shows these movies with life lessons but they discriminate the most!!
Yeah thats how it is with most entertainers. It’s a business at the end of the day. These record labels, studios whatever most of them only care about money. Not art If you want to do your own thing you’ll have to be independent put out your stuff on your own. On your own time and money. Not on someone else’s. If it’s seen that you have a huge following/ fans/supporters then major labels will sign you as you are and tell you to keep doing what you’re doing because you have the fan base. What you’re doing is marketable there’s proof.
If you had a record label making millions of dollars and you know people who look, sing, dance and dress a certain way that gets a lot of attention which brings in millions of dollars. Sex sells unfortunately. And that’s what the industry goes for. So Then you sign an artist who you discovered from a movie who looks and sings exactly the way that gets a lot of attention who in your eyes can sell sex basically but first they need to dress and dance in away that has always brought a lot of attention/money to your record label but the artist you brought into your million dollar record label wants to do her own thing on your dime. Wants to do whatever she wants, sing however she want, dress and dance however she wants to dance and dress. Are you going to take a gamble and spend a lot of money on this new artist who wants to do whatever she wants not knowing whether it’s going to make you money? Knowing you can possibly loose a lot of money letting your new artist do whatever she/he wants. People don’t think about the business aspects of it. A record label or studio you sign to are paying you close to millions of dollars at this point a lot of them are going to think they own you because of how much they are spending on you. You’re basically a product Especially if you sign a contract that gives them a lot of power over you and your music. And if they are able to have sex with you mean that you’re willing to do anything they want you to do. Sex in the industry is more about power and control
@Estela Lopez lol uhhh Taylor swift was recently was in twitter complaining about the fact that scooter Braun owns the rights to her music. Which is how it is with most artists who sign on to record labels. Meaning they can do whatever they want with your music and get paid for it. If they decide to use your song for a commercial they will get paid for it not you. All you get is a small percentage of your record sales. Billie eilish is good she started off independent build a following through RUclips and various forms of streaming services she had a huge supportive fan base already before she signed with a record label. So she’s able to be herself dress however she wants to dress, sing however she wants to sing, write her own songs, use her own producer, and record at her home. She already proved whatever she’s doing sells. So yeah she’s going to be happy.
That’s why she portrayed the character so well 😭😭👏🏽🤩🤩
space yeah even within diversity, it’s forced and fake most of the time lolol They want to point the finger and viewers/supporters/fans when the real dirt is behind the scenes more than not.
Disney Channel is such a disgusting, horrible, and toxic channel. You're telling me that they deny Coco her own TV series but give television series to actors and actresses who can't even act? That's beyond unfair. The channel is filled with so many colourism it's crazy. I'm so glad Coco told her story. She deserved better.
The fact they let shows like Bizardvark, and dog with a blog happen
Queen Fanfic and they saw her working so hard and saw her talent but ain’t do nothing ..trash.
@@sandrao6837 Bizaardvark and Dog With A Blog were both mistakes. Bizaardvark was just a rip off of ICarly and the actors on that show couldn't even act. Dog With A Blog is even more stupid. The premise or plot of the show makes no sense.
Queen Fanfic facts. Bizardvark was a dumpster fire and Dog with a Blog was just a terrible show.
I mean my cousin played an extra on Bizardvark, and im happy that they let my black cousin represent FOR ONE EPISODE for the black natural hair community lmfao, but the scene my cousin in was so corny , the whole show was😭.
Raven, Coco, China and Zendaya carried Disney ON THERE BACK 💯
Keke Palmer
Plop Eeww keke carried nick on her back
Raven Simone
I would say raven and maybe zendaya. Y’all are reaching far af with this lmao
Johnathan Santana China carried that descendants movie on her back
This aged SO WELL! You held onto your convictions and integrity and look at how GOD rode for you🙌🏽😌 Continued blessings to you🙏🏽
Got her first Grammy I had to come back & watch this again 😂
ok but is no one gonna talk ab how STUNNING she looks? like okay miss coco jones workkkkk
frrr
They wouldn’t let her get her own show but they let these little white children who most defo cannot act get a show every 3 months. Smh God bless you Coco for standing your ground! This will definitely NOT go unnoticed by God. Stay blessed xoxo
Right!! Coco deserved so much better than some of these other kids :(
remember that ridiculous time travel show???? god if i could turn back time i would personally ask them wtf they were thinking
Yes can’t act OR sing for shit

Pleaseeee I second this 😍
Came here after watching her win that BET award. I cried with her. I’m soooo happy for her. It’s just something about her that I vibe with, she just seems so cool and chill.
She should have been the next Disney star. It's crazy how showbiz works. And it's also crazy how she played a character who also didn't want to be limited by her creative spirit and it happened to her in real life.

You really on to sum here .
@who in the heck put the muffins in the freeza I did what your gonna do bout it nothing lol.
A CONCEPT
Omg guys please subscribe lol 🥴
oh you just did sumn!!!
It's sad she had to censor herself on telling her truths too just so she wouldn't be black balled
Just realized she mentioned Victoria Monet in this live. Now look at how far both of their careers came just in 3-4 years
I loved Coco in Let It Shine, but after watching this, I am devastated that she was treated this way. However, I have SO much more respect for her than I did before, because she stayed true to herself and her morals (even if that meant giving up HUGE opportunities) and THAT is a TRUE SUPERSTAR!
Listen, all I know, is that when a Jennifer Hudson biopic is in the works, I’m gonna need them to choose you to play Jennifer. Because not only do you look A LOT like her, you can SANG, and I’m sure you can do Jennifer’s voice. Girl, I’ll be supporting all the way - music, movies etc! ❤️
Edit: Thank y’all for the likes 🥺, big up unu self!
!!!!!!
What I was thinkinnnn
^Ya’ll know ball 🤝
She really does look like J Hud. I never even noticed till now 😳
I thought she and Jennifer were sisters when I was a kid. I thought wrong lol but they both look alike and are so pretty
i love how she accidentally made like 7 tiktok audios from this ONE video
I just remember my mom being so happy to see you on my screen. you were the brown skin black girl I could look up to on disney and I was really looking forward to continuing to see you. their loss
The fact that there’s actors and singers who are less talented than Coco, that have more success is a crime.
right!! like the people on bunk’d.
Princess Palace omg I know
Exactly
FACTSSS
Yeah but sadly this industry is not just about talent it about your skin color and who you know and that’s the sad part is that you can’t make it in this industry with just talent
She is PR READY dammit. She is making sure that she is speaking her story WITHOUT calling out ANYONE in particular.
Period
She said WHO GETTING SUED cause it ain’t me 😹😹
Princess Tiana her pleaseeeeee she looks exactly like her PLUS she can sing!!!!
Disney doesn’t even deserve her atp .
perioddd
YESSSSSSS!!

this was so eye opening. girl tbh, just start posting on here. you don’t even have to be traditional, you can post what u want, gain an audience, get that CHECK, and then in comes the deals, sponsors, brands, pr lists, auditions, bookings, all that. get the representation and attention you deserve! from people who actually want you FOR YOU, times are changing, i think i can speak for all of us when i say i wanna see you get the opportunities you deserved but unfortunately missed out on.
Totally agree
This is true asf n also you’re so prettY

Girl, you don't have to be preppy or put out fake energy to be a youtuber. It honestly refreshing to see someone be genuine. Black female youtubers like Kelly Stamps, Kai Foster, Halfrican Beauty, and a bunch more come out with raw energy. They're all get by doing their own thing too. There is a fan base out there for you. Shoot I'll support you and keep up w your content. This is one of few platforms where you can get by making the content you want (to some degree). Please try it and don't look back.
you should check out this black female youtuber named ALASIA !!!
I looove Kelly stamps and halfrican beaute/isi!!
Y’all don’t skip through this for a TikTok audio this actually needs to be watched because the “company” is wrong for doing this to her

This is VERY unfortunate but nobody is pointing out the irony between Coco and her character Roxy👀 Roxy was trying to do her own thing too, despite what the label/industry wanted her to do. You will come on top like her boo!
OHHH YEAHHHHH
I ain’t even think abt that😳
was literally juss thinkin bout that
YESSSSS
EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT
it's sad that she has to keep saying "I don't want to be blackballed" and all she's doing is telling the truth.
Yeah I know right, 🤦♀️ smh
Same thing happened to Megan Fox. All she did was tell the truth about how she was being sexually harassed and BOOM. For years, she’s gone.
Boiii did I cheeeeat like ahhh mug 🍺 😂
I feel bad for Coco, China, Zendaya and Raven , They carried Disney channel
keke was on nick
And raven😍
@@smnsn7812 I’m sure she did both
Carried* is an overstretch, Hanna Montana, the Wizards, Zach and cody all have the most VIEWS
@@smnsn7812 sorry I thought Keke was on disney
So genuinely happy to see you reap what you sow! Bel air is about to be a HUGE blow! U deserve everything
Notice how Disney channel has one big movie with African American main characters so they can say they don’t discriminate
I heard to them she’s not actually considered a princess which made me hate them even more
Yeah it’s a business move for example the lion king original is white mostly but they made the live action all black huh?? Just like with Black Panther made the cast all black for marvel but..why couldn’t they have done it earlier?? Only time they had a black director n crew was for that movie but not that strange...
Make matters worse Halle Bailey is Little Mermaid they just want our money even recently John Boyega called out Disney for using his skin color just to make money for the force awakens ahhh Hollywood racism at its institutionalized finest
And if you notice, Tiana is only herself for about 10 to 15 minutes of the entire movie! The rest of the times she's a frog. That irked my NERVEEESSS!
@@trealapre We can’t trust Disney anymore they have crossed too many lines and to make matters worse they own Black Panther rights so we can’t keep those good superheroes
Stop supporting.
Disney funded dog with a blog but coco can’t get a show?
Dog w a blog is, for lack of better words, one of the most dogshit shows of Disney’s history
Ilhaam B BRUH FR
Shaye Me who liked dog with a blog:
👁 👁
👄
dog with the blog was just dumb in my opinion. it was about a taking dog. i bet if coco had a show, disney would've got so much money because people wanted to watch coco because we knew her from let it shine.
That's a classic. Its one of the best
I can’t imagine her thinking she’s about to have her dream life and they act like they’re going to give it to her and then just completely take it all away from her and she was a child
11:20 “would’ve created my own fan base that they couldn’t have taken away from me”, hits diff, she didn’t deserve all the crap she went thru💔
“Let It Shine” was really THAT MOVIE ‼️ I still watch it till this day !! It would have been awesome if they made a “Let It Shine 2”💯
I still watch it till this day !!!
I watched it yesterday
It’s one of my fav movies
Guys we seriously have to back Coco like with everything she does!! We can’t let history repeat itself , black girls particularly dark skinned black girls need to see that their dreams are just as achievable as the next girl !!
💪🏽👏🏽🙂
Honestly though, when you said "get a platform where you can have a fan base that they can't take away from you" golden! Especially with how grimy labels can be, this is good advice for striving artist.
