- www.hypeplustv... - For her first one on one with HYPE+, ex-wife and former business partner to Gary Owen; Kenya Duke opens up about her life after getting a divorce from Owen in 2022. In her talk with CH correspondent Slauson Girl, she opens up about her upbringing in Oakland, new single life, and more. Instagram: @ComedyHype & Twitter: @ComedyHype_
Dating older men like 20 years older is not a thing. I have been there and done that, with a man 25 years older, when I was only 20. That dude tried to kill me with his jealousy, he was cool at the beginning and later turned into a monster, but never again. He cheated continually and excuses me for cheating, just because they are older doesn't mean that they have grown up maturely in their mind.
Exactly and im glad you got out of that toxic relationship those older men only want to control when they get with younger women
Omg, my story is very similar to mine. When I called things off this fool followed me ALL day without me knowing. When I finally came home he ran behind me and pushed me in my house and tied me up and held me hostage for 4 hours before the police bust in. He served 3 years. Never again
And the moral of the story is men are men. And women are women. And big are inclined to very problematic behaviours that wreck relationships. No one has a relationship that’s all roses. And this goes for any age. Sin affects all of us equally especially
If they’re chasing women 20 years younger, then that’s a huge indication that they haven’t matured. 🙄
@@VivSees exactly I totally agree lack of maturity
Makes me smile to see and hear her in a good place. Wishing her all the best🙌🏾
This was good I’m happy for her to
I loved how respectful the young lady was during the interview. She asked pertinent questions about Kenya's formidable years that helped you to understand The Today Kenya.
I once met Gary in my ATL office complex. I thought he was a jerk, but maybe he was just having a bad day.
I thought Kenya did the SMART thing... She didn't speak badly of Gary. She gave him his props.
I'M GLAD that after divorce, Kenya is feeling restored & moving on! She looks amazing!

Men have short attention spans and need shiny new things and toys to try their old weapons on to see if they're still effective
"Met" implies some type of meet and greet not two residents or neighbors passing each other by happenstance. When you are booked for a public appearance you show up and do your job! Point- Blank- Period! That's why you make more hourly than 93% of the average wage earner in the WORLD! I have a film degree and hate to see people forget where they came from! Tears of a Clown!
And why would he be living in a complex with the statue and money he makes anyway?🧐🙄. That's a hefty security team and salary 🤔🤔🤔
Explain more of this meeting?
The thing I liked most about this interview was that Kenya helped the interviewer get comfortable to ask the questions…
It started off like she was scared, but Kenya was like girl come on!! Lol 😂
I like her personality & I’ll definitely be checking out her podcast!
She's stunning, has a great sense of humor and didn't come across aa bitter or hurt. I'm glad she's happy and moved on. I wish her well and hope she and her family continue to thrive, in whatever iteration that takes.
Im Glad she is healed & healing & is a solid woman. God bless Kenya & God bless Gary.
I'm feeling Kenya..when u r healed, mature, and ready to move on its a good vibe
I really enjoyed this interview and I appreciate the transparency of Kenya. I’m going to check out her podcast 😊
Kenya is educating the younger generation, I LOVE IT!
She should have stayed with her zaddy. Now he got him a younger version of Kenya and has moved and away from her Kenya. Learn to stay with your man. Just cause he cheating is not the end of the world.

This was a really good interview. Love how the interviewer focused on Kenya and her story and not focus solely on Gary questions.
Kenya is attractive, intelligent, honest, very witty & totally at peace. Look at her. During the entire interview, her eyes never, ever saddened. She is at peace---❤ her vibe & essence is so real. Her honesty about how she ❤s & realized (after the divorce) that she really missed the black man's swag is spot on. HOWEVER, the interviewer seemed VERY inexperienced😮. Thanks Kenya for sharing...& thx to Comedy Hype.
no she not seem crazy
I don't think the issue was her heart. No reason to be saddened. If you look at her posts amid breakup they were all about money. From looking from afar what is real?
She’s at peace because she got a piece of that change. Let’s not fool ourselves 😂😂
You have to care to be emotional she obviously don't
@@slide5039 And she should have...when she met Gary he wasn't a successful comedian, and she said he lived with her.
That was a good interview. Loved how Kenya was teaching the young ones as she went. Loved her honesty.
Comedy Hype ain’t learned from when Earthquake got at them for interviewing his ex? I’m still goin to watch this interview and sip the tea tho😂
Who is Earthquake?
@@breezyakanan7544 🥺🤔😕😧😦😮😯😲WHAT!?!!
Lol nope they care more about gossip now
I remember that Earthquakes situation
Right, that was my first thought too. Wonder if Gary will have a response. 🫖🍵 😉
This is really my 1st time seeing her. She's beautiful. Thanks for the genuine interview.👍
She is NOT beautiful. WTF!!!
Kenya is funny as heck and she needs to do her own stand up. Please do it sis. You are real & hilarious ❤😅
She certainly has the crazy eyes for it."🤔
I wouldn’t be surprised if she helped him write some of his material or at least edit it
What was funny??

@@WILDANDPEACEFUL23 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice interview she seems like she was really at peace with what happened it's the best way to be move on live the rest of your life as best as you can I wish her and her new podcast nothing but the best..
Great interview. Thank you for this!❤
This was such a relaxed and funny interview, Kenya seems very relatabl. I love that she showed a lot of maturity by not bashing the father of her children. I'm sure she has learned more about money now that she's single. We're all a work in progress.
Happy she got to tell her story!
I like that she's intelligent & sensitive. Thanks. 👍
She seems so real about the situation…she didn’t bash him & not looking for pity or a handout..me likes her
That handout is coming regardless
West side Oakland she will always land on her feet. She is funny with an amazing attitude. I hope she gets spousal support or some type of compensation, they were married a long time. You can tell she still has love for him but is real about the situation.
..... black women are real life superheros! Forget where and what side of city they from. Just saying!!!
I was sorry to hear of her and Gary's split. I used to watch their show and they seemed to have had such a strong foundation. I wish them both the best.
Kenya said she is happy!
Translation: SHE GOT HER MONEY!!!😂😂💕💕
looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Facts
I hope so😂
And some of Gary's money. If you knew the truth, it really ain't her money
@@Toy_Checkerhow's it not her money? They were married. His money was her money too.
Lmao! The interviewer had me rolling when they asked if that bar was still around 😂
She tryna get chose 😅
😂😂😂
Right 😮😮🤣🤣🤣🤣 Youngins
Got that “back on market” energy
😂😂😂😂 but with 3 kids now and divorce. These hxes better know this worth afterwords. I’m not dating people with kids and divorced and I have a kid myself 😂 🤷🏾♂️
@@_2315_And that’s real 😂😂
Love this woman's energy. Go Kenya. Stay happy 💖
Not being cynical, may i say she looks so much better since Gary? I honestly did not know it was her. She will be okay moving forward.
She definitely looks different.
@@fortylovestyle2789 And I feel she looks relaxed! 😊👍
Yes she’s beautiful and not pressed
@@missalphaomegagod-2u she's an open book. She's really likable too and you can tell a new man is probably watching her now. A new GOOD one. 😊
@@missalphaomegagod-2u How you know shes not pressed? She looks a bit sweaty like that liquor sweat.
Loved the interview I was glad to hear Kenya's side. She is smart and classy and didn't have nothing bad to say about Gary, I was glad of that.
@Dewayne Junior exactly she would have dragged him through the whole interview but not white zaddy
Not she’s interviewing the interviewer 😂
I had never seen this Kenya Duke because I have not been a fan of Gary Owen to know about his life. This interview was recommended to me because I watch Comedy Hype. I'm so glad it did! I LOVE this lady and will research more of her content. She's smart, thoughtful, measured and savvy. Great job in the interview from both parties.
Gary if you don't learn from this one you can't be helped she's a pro
Lol a PRO she's a over 40 BLK WOMEN back on the MARKET what man of VALUE GON WANT THAT lol 😂. Last time I check GARY HAS A YOUNGER MORE BEAUTIFUL LADY lol 😂
I like Gary but maybe he's just not husband material. Not everybody has it in them. 🤷♀
@@BearingMySeoul Women no accountability shocker 🙄
@@kevinking7611 A lot of men don't like BEING a husband. They want to have kids and they like HAVING a wife. And vice versa for women.
Gary said in his Breakfast Club interview there were things Kenya was saying to which he said, "I can't be that for you," and he wished her well. So yes, it could be 'personal differences' but it could also just be that with all the trauma he experienced growing up and practically raising himself, the weight of a family on top of a successful career required more resilience and discipline than he actually had. That's just life. Very few people have what it takes. Oprah never married for the same reason.
@@BearingMySeoul Accountability not
When i saw you with Gary several years ago, i felt the tension. I'm glad you are free and doing what you need to do for you!
I like Kenya's energy. She's a real one!
This interview was great…I like Kenya…she is real as heck!
Kenya was a great interview. She came with her full self and layer it all out. Took full accountability and gave it lol.
She is a beautiful and smart woman. Gary Owens is just a blip in her plans. She will be ok.❤😊
Facts! ❤
So when they were married he was god's gift now he left her he's "just a blip." You swirlers are bipolar.🤪🤣
I like her. Gary divorced a real one. Black queen
Facts!
🫤you never even actually said “hello” to this lady let alone lived with her. Stop simpin.
You mean a real fool?"
@@missalphaomegagod-2u Apart from him saying he liked her, explain to us how the other two statements he made are factual?
None of these 🛌wenches are Queens.She got the karma she drserved/s from dealn with these devils going against her own calln blkmn nigg@ for her white zaddy on tv who left her with biracial kids who's was the/a jokester for a living and at the end of the day the joke is on the strong black woman you called a queen.
Kenya.... I am definitely going to find the podcast and tune in. Your conversation is fun and mature! Love it! But it makes me miss you and Gary together. You all seem like very good friends!
they are definitely not in a good place. He doesn't even talk to the kids, or vice-versa.
These 🛌wenches getting what they DESERVE!Facts!Strong black queen getn wake up calls for being traitorous wainches will become the norm.TMH says don't make marriages with men who aren't of your father's tribe so she braught this on herself.
I am from Berkeley, Ca. I enjoyed Kenya ‘s conversation. Being from Oakland, Ca., I could see the home girl in her. I do know The Acorn. My dad lived there. I’m probably about 15-20yrs., older than her. I’m 63yrs. I do think she was very funny! I’m glad you interviewed her. Much Love to you!!!
But Kenya is not Eboni!!! Eboni is a lawyer and a TV personality….not a wife of a rich man. Funny how men could say they won’t date a fat chick, a tall woman, a dark woman…..but let a woman say she wants a man who is on her level financially then all hell breaks loose!!!
I really enjoyed this interview! Kenya is good good! ❤
Wow!! Gotta RESPECT this woman!!!!!
"I don't even fool with the breast anymore. I like dark meat" 😂😂😂

@@tammymorgan5348 meaning they are LOSERS
@@missalphaomegagod-2u DAMN
@@missalphaomegagod-2u only because you ain’t the business right?
Kenya was talking positive about Black Men around 38:49 and before Kenya could complete her sentiments, the end was edited out. Why?
BECAUSE IT WAS BS IF YOU MARRIED A CAVEMAN NOW WANNA SPILL THE BEANS??..FOH..THAT'S WHY..
I was thinking same thing. They abruptly cut it off.
Talking positively about Black Males are not allowed....
Bc it wasn't controversial. Icymi CH has entered the tabloid section
@@BlackValyria For Sure.
Great classy and informative interview. I wanted to see how she was doing because Gary came up because of Katt Williams a few days ago. I’m about to subscribe to her channel. Thank you for sharing she’s very secure and gave gave great advice❤
Thank you, Ms. KENYA for producing a "new" version of a DATING SHOW! Life is meant to grow and learn! I predict a lot of laughs and fun! Chiming in from across the water!🎬🎫🎉
This woman is absolutely gorgeous and adorable and easy to listen to. Love how she comes across ❤🙏🏾💯👍🏾
This was a really great interview. I've always liked Kenya when she starred in the shows with her family. I am wishing her the best.
First time on the channel. Definitely loved the Kenya interview!!! She was fantastic and definitely an inspiration for those of us that have been in her shoes (ending long term 20+ year relationships). ❤
She has a great attitude and didn't throw her ex under the bus and it sounds like they still get along.
I was hoping to hear her side of the story. We got to hear his and it’s only fair.
How do people make comments about an interview they haven’t seen/heard yet? Also, if you don’t like they are interviewing her and/or want to unfollow, just don’t click on the link and leave quietly.
IKR!
Why do you ladies get in your feelings over comments of people you will never see who cares about the comments that’s why it’s called a comment section if you have a problem with it don’t look at them plain in simple.
@@jonathancoleman6482 Well, that’s exactly what I said about the interview. Don’t look at it. Duh

It was a good interview. I didn't know what to expect but it was a good interview.
Great Interview ❤
She looks healed and glowing ! Best wishes Kenya ❤
She a hustler frfr.... When she said Acorn... That A in the back of dudes haircut 😂

Maybe its good to have both perspectives? Its really none of our business but she talking Im listening 😂
And just like any good spectator, I'm judging.🤣🤣🤣
@@TheQuietStorm630 Right 🤣
I enjoyed the interview.
She reminds of my mom so much. You can always tell someone from Oakland. Bay Area girls ❤
I really enjoyed this interview, and Kenya is down to earth. Interesting conversation. I will tune in her podcast.
Great interview and she is very intelligent and funny 😂. I think she will be fine living her best life 🙏🏾
Good interview. I think she is cool people. They had at least a 25 year relationship and its over, she not tripping and has moved on enjoying her life.
She is really classy in every aspect of a divorce. And beauty is both inside and outside with her! She's Christian and expressed that faith is what gets thru everything in life. I don't any bitterness or wanting retaliation toward him. Very impressive!
Why would she retaliate?? She was paid off
This was a great interview!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Watching this from South Africa. I like Kenya. She is lovely, comfortable and at ease. I love her vavavoom spirit😊
This is weird...she said she would sign a prenuptial but then tried to hit Gary up for 44k a month in support....chile. he don't even make that much a month
You missed the whole point. She was there since the beginning was even the manager and was together for 25 years. With no prenup the law says what she should get. She’s right about getting a prenup but telling your partner what you would like if the relationship doesn’t work. Kenya got what she wanted and this is why she’s happy.
Kenya I don’t know you, I’ve met Gary & Brad twice in AL & TN a couple months ago. I have pictures with Gary both times & spoke with them both times to. There both so nice & I also have autograph posters from the last time in TN. I wish y’all could have made it work out. You both seem like good people. ❤
Great interview!!!!
I think they still love each other deeply. Feel they may get back 2gether. I can tell he missed his family. I'm sad for them both. I'm sure the kids are ripped up ova this
Great interview!
I went to Skyline with Kenya! She looks fantastic, even after all these years! Her and Diann Valentine!
Fremont in the building! 🙌🏾
I really like this lady! She is real and honest . I am so sorry that he hurt her. He will regret it later . May God bless her and her kids
Classy & down to earth when she could have gone straight Springer!
God bless them both.
Great interview!!! Love the fact that she's happy and healthy both mentally and physically. I was really sad to hear of the split, however, you NEVER know what goes on behind closed doors. Smart and Beautiful woman. We see you Sis, keep doing you. Yep I'm signing up to the podcast 🥰
Girl, you from the Acorns.
Wow
I'm glad to know you from the Yay Area.
I love her energy and vibe!!!
Kenya sounds like therapy has been good for her. I did enjoy how candid she was and the interviewer's subtle technic of not being so overtly probing. Some interviewers offend their guest by being too abrasive and it is reflected in presentation & in the flow of the questions.
Only because that settlement took care of the bill 😂😂
I could definitely see why Gary loved her for so long!! She's really an amazing woman 💜🩵
She still has a sense of humor, glad to see that
Excellent interview!
She reminds me of sheree from housewives of Atlanta, she's a very attractive woman and seems very intelligent, she'll be alright its just good to heal and be better for yourself .
Nawwwwwww she is way more self aware and smarter than Sheree.😂😂And Honest!!!
Education and being an attorney does that for you

Beautiful woman and she will be just fine. Gary season is over with her. Wish you well my black beautiful sister.
Hahhh okay bed wench

I can imagine their conversations m. She and Gary seem to be candid people.
Just remember young lady you are very beautiful and everything will be fine and God and the universe has your back so the rest is history blessing to you and your family 🌹
Perfect example of manifesting “everything works out for my highest good”
Love her 🙏❤️ blessing to her new chapter in life one thing I learned is nothing last forever so live your best life and keep on doing you and never give up on love
I loved this interview! Kenya seems to be an AMAZING WOMEN! I LOVE her personality. I will be tuned into her PODCAST forsure. PERIODT One Love!💯💜
This was a really good interview. I enjoyed Kenya, I would like to know and see what she does next. I wish her and Gary would have stayed together, I am glad she is happy.
This interview was lit😂 Kenya is funny lol.
As someone who has always dated interracially I don't like hearing mothers tell their daughters bring home a black man. Fathers do it too. I rather parents tell their daughters bring home a man who genuinely loves you no matter his race. My parents never emphasized what race of man to bring home (I'm black, no mixture).
And I find some black woman get caught up in the "swag" mentality and it keeps their dating options limited. Especially if they are seeking marriage.
💯Say that!!!!❣️
Told my daughter that. She’s not mixed but dated all guys. Brought home a white guy and liked how he treated her, he had his business and already knew what where he was going. Pro I know know said she shouldn’t be with him.
I tell my children as long as he are she make you happy
@@Candle870so your daughter getting ran thru by multiple races
After seeing her call another black man ni%$a for Gary, I lost all respect for her.
See, I tried to tell folks about Gary feeling a little too comfy saying certain things he shouldn't. But his ex made it ok for him because she wasn't ish either. 👎😒
Black men call one another that...
I don't follow Gary or Kenya, but I like her personality and she seems like a really cool person. Not to mention we're both from Oakland, Ca.
This is quite funny. I didn't see this coming. She won't be single for long!
Y are they talking 2 her? this really is turning into gossip type channel
Yeah I thought they learned w Earthquake ex wife, obviously not smh this woman is not a comedian or entertainer. Their marriage is not my business to be sitting here listening to an interview w her. Giving gossip blog vibes. It’s a million comedians out here to interview 🤦🏾♀️
@@chanellerogers8862 exactly smh
I believe she was supposed be talking about her podcast but the interviewer quickly pivoted into talking about her ex-husband.
I love how she moved on and is not bitter. She’s a grown woman, if you know what that means. I respect her.
I’ve never dated a white guy but my children has. They were raised similarly to Kenya and had the same experience where the few black guys in our neighborhood were only dating white girls and only white guys were approaching them. I found that they were all raised very isolated from their parents and had distant relationships with family. Living in the house and not knowing anything about each other. My kids were raised with closeness and affection. We talked a lot they had a community of cousins at my mom’s house. We did everything as a family when they were kids and we were always on top of each other. Thats a huge cultural difference that definitely shows up in personalities and relationships. Ive dated African men and the cultural differences were very hard to overcome come. African Americans seem to share thoughts and feelings a lot more than other cultures imo. A lot of us think we don’t but u don’t know that until u start dealing with other cultures. I love ppl who behave like ppl. Not like unfeeling robots that only hv 4 modes. MONEY EDUCATION ,SEX AND IMAGE. Humans are meant to be complex and I enjoy the personality diversity that complexity brings. African Americans win in this Area . I believe because we are always forced to survive in someone else’s space and are raised in such a welcoming culture. I’m still open to dating outside of black but I need a level of openness I can connect to.
Gary Owen about to pull an Earthquake move. 🤣
Mary Harvey (Steve Harvey’s 2nd wife) will be on next month.

They should all be on, why the hell should those cheating punks tell their lying side of the story. It's only fair the broken wives get to share their side.
