Yes she definitely gives me that and she also be giving she think she better then everybody because she was married to usher and give that energy she can ask ppl bout their relationships but don’t want nobody to question her
I met Tameka years ago when she was eating with her son Kyle at a restaurant in Alpharetta, GA. The woman was so down to earth and gracious and we chatted for about 5 minutes about a documentary I was filming on breast cancer. She told me I should reach out to Dr. Jackie (who was not on Television at the time.) That truly changed my entire opinion of anything negative that I have ever heard about her. She seemed to be a straight shooter who was honest and real and I truly appreciated that.
I LOVE Tameka!! She gives me that old school Whitney Houston, Patty Labelle, Aretha vibe. She’s too GROWN for the nonsense but still stays in the know. I Stan!!!
Sadly, I feel marrying him affected her mental then no to mention her son passing away shortly after. I wish people leave this lady alone. Same thing with Kanye mom. Being involved in this industry made her feel she needed plastic surgery now she gone and he crazy. Then that other young lady that was married to the comedian. The judgement is not right nobody perfect.
I understand what she’s saying. It’s part of her story, because people have bad circumstances, a past, SO! People don’t stay the same they grow. It’s makes her the Great woman she is today. She is not in the same Mental State that she was with Usher. People love to see people in the same space they were in when she was having a ruff time. Everyone has a story ( EVERYONE) Either you remain the same or you grow. It seems to me she has grown, ( I absolutely understand her and her growth is beautiful and amazing, I’m her age so I get it wholeheartedly .
YES SUCH A REGAL WOMAN & I LOVED WHITNEY HOUSTON & I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED TAMEKA. WE ARE SIMILAR SOULS… WE ECHO MANY OF THE SAME PHILOSOPHY AND I DONT GIVE FLIP EITHER NOR DO I HAVE ANYMORE CARE-AGE TO GIVE‼️😂😂😂 #50GANG
She is the eptiome of a mature woman!! She knows exactly who she is and was able to articulate her character beyond the superficial. This is what makes her beautiful inside and out! Love it ❤❤❤❤
I love your interviews but this one touched me. I knew and know what it’s like being dark skin, a teenage mom,trying to survive, and I was in dirt poor town of Mississippi trying to find my worth ❤ Most Importantly I loved how she showed her truth. I’m ordering her book today ❤❤❤! Thank you Carlos for this one
I’m from Oakland. She is definitely telling the truth. She has always been very pretty to me and many others. Her Mom and sister were always pretty as well.
Tameka is absolutely gorgeous. I remember her getting all this backlash when she married Usher. But they're only 7 years apart. This is such a refreshing interview.
I love Tameka. It's something about our community that tells us that we have to be small, be happy for the bare minimum, and we have to hate ourselves. This beautiful woman is bold, confident, smart, and very self aware. She's a threat and people hate it. Keep going queen!!
I wish people would stop playing around saying this lady is not pretty. She was gorgeous in her prime and she’s still attractive now. It’s colorism straight up and it needs to stop. The age difference is a separate topic. But we now know usher likes older women. That’s his type. Anyway, Tameka seems very honest and has overcome so much. I’m going to read her book just because of this interview.
Stop with the colorism bulshit, it was not about colorism it was about the fact that she was old as hell with an old soul..way older than him and she looked like a regular degular girl ..she wasn't no young hot tender like we would have expected..did u forget chili was a brown girl??
Tameka is blunt and unapologetic with a big personality. She knows who she is and knows her talents. If she were a man with these traits, nobody would criticize her.
She still loves him. It still hurts to talk about, which is why she cracks jokes and changes the subject as a defense mechanism. It's so sad that the public and industry broke them up.
I love her on Bold and Bougie. She's that Auntie, the gift that keeps on giving on that show. Giving zero mucks about how Goche is concerned about her past marriage to Usher. 😍
I found another level of respect for Tameka after this interview. I knew she wasn’t a monster,she’s not fake and many can’t take that. She’s a beautiful black woman🩷🩷🩷🩷 I always loved her from the beginning. She was mistreated for years while dating Usher..
Everyone that think this woman is less than gorge and funny is crazy, Tameka and Crystal are my favorites, sorry, never liked Malaysia , she always forms guard dogs, then acts oblivious.
This is a myth. Short hair is so much easier to maintain than wigs, weaves and long hair. I’ve rocked short hair before it was fashionable and have received many compliments throughout my journey. I respect women who have the confidence to rock short hair.
I think I just realize why Carlos is so successful when it comes to producing shows and working in the entertainment industry centered around ensembles of women…. He actually loves women you can tell by the way he interviews the way he talks about women. He has a profound love for women.
I have literally always been fascinated by Tamika, but this interview really made me want to go read her book, purchasing the book TUHDAY. She has me feeling inspired to embrace the past and live in my truth. Love her down. WE NEEDED THIS CA-LOS !
I never understood, outside of colorism, why people were so upset about her marriage to Usher. She's beautiful! And the fake uproar surrounding her age. Chilli was older than him, as well. Around the same age difference. But Chilli had the "exotic" look despite her brown skin. Tameka was mistreated and I'll never forget the nasty comments she received for simply existing. I love that she's still standing tall through it all! 🖤
Colorism was never the issue as to why people didn't like her for Usher. Her attitude & age was what people didn't like. The difference between her and Chili is that everyone already knew and loved Chili. Plus found Chili more attractive because truthfully, Tamika is beautiful but back in the day standing beside Usher she looked old & surly.
I honestly think outside of the show, and in conversation with Tameka she seems like a cool ass person honestly. I think she comes off mean on the show based on editing and I think she just has no tolerance for superficial people and honestly that’s how I am. She has depth and she doesn’t seem superficial at all, but more so like she doesn’t have time for the fake facades people like to put on. I am the same exact way. I think that’s why I have a soft spot for her. She just seems misunderstood by people bc 95% of the population is superficial.
I’m glad Tameka did this interview. I’ve always enjoyed her and she brings life to Bold and Bougie. For the record I understood exactly where she was coming from regarding Crystal and Monyetta. The other ladies are so emotionally driven that they blew the whole thing out of proportion.
I love everything about her, she is so misunderstood because she is REAL and nowadays everyone relates to fake. Thank you for this interview, the BOTH of you! I want to see more of her, she’s a hidden gem Blessing to her & of course the King of reality Mr. Carlos with the infectious laughter himself 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Just because she not your "Instagram Model" type doesn't mean she's not a nice looking woman..I'm tired of people dragging this lady over her looks..IMO she's not bad looking at all
Because when she finally does talk it’s being “low-key” messy and unnecessarily cocky. If you listen to names bigger than her talk, they are humble. But, she might be on some Kanye energy…I don’t know.😂 It’s the attitude that makes a difference. Yes, people hired her…but for her talent and they didn’t care to acknowledge her work.
@@AN-fg4cdFacts my thoughts exactly. But everybody in the comments saying she so cool and beautiful. Like they don’t hear or see the cocky way she constantly speak only of herself and how great she is. They like of Beyoncé/ Rhianna would never…sorry 🤷🏽♀️
This woman is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Short hair, long hair, WHATEVER 🤩🤩. She always give “Living Legend” (The Toni Braxton, Patti LaBelle, etc.) energy! Too classy for MESS! Here for ALL OF IT!! ❤❤❤
She is such a BOSS, BEAUTIFUL, STRAIGHT SHOOTER!!! I have always been here for her, she is underrated and EARNED her position. Put some RESPECT on her NAME!!!! ❤👑💐💐 she deserve her flowers 💕
I said that same thing. I was thinking that. Especially when she kept saying "You know what I'm saying" She sound like her. It something that Whitney said all the time.
To still have this goofey laid back genuine personality after the world despised her when she married Usher back then says so much. I’ve seen Usher date light skin or closer proximity to white older women and they never got the gross hate Tameka received. A lot of it was self hate and a lack of maturity bc to go on the internet and bash a black woman simply because she existed was disgusting. Most of us could never endure such hate. Shes flighty and I love it. She’s been thru so much and still seems like someone we all know.
Girl stop! He dated chili ..a brown girl and we drug his ass for filth when he admitted to doing her wrong.. She was a bih on Hollywood exes ..that's also why her ass wasnt liked, on top of the fact that she was way older & looked like his mother verses his wife
I agree with everything you said but Heavy on self hate and maturity because this Lady appear to be gorgeous inside and out.I love being a blk woman and I adore blk women, what I cant understand is why we do this to each other, no one can hurt me like another blk woman period
Thanks Carlos for letting us hear Tameka. Tameka has always been beautiful. I never thought she was ugly. I can admit that I was so upset she married Usher because I judged her on her age. I’m so sorry. Her personality is off the chain , very funny and she has a big heart. 5 sons and one passed on. God Bless you Tameka. UR Amazing
People were still invested in Usher and Chili when they got together. That was the problem...then the issues with het and Usher's mom didn't help either
I love the short hair and she's right when she says that it's harder to maintain. She's very straightforward and doesn't entertain BS. This was a very interesting interview.
Great interview. I think the beauty of not following these well-known people is that, when I listen to these interviews, I'm able to listen with clear intentions. I like her. Very articulate and comical. I pray that this interviee allowed others to see another side of her.
I’ve always thought she was so beautiful ppl think light n mixed are the standard beauty that’s why people had so much to say about why usher chose her but she’s absolutely gorgeous n her personality good too probably what wooed usher
I am from Atlanta and I do remember the timeline what led up to Tameeka’s divorce. I can say that Tameeka was not prepared for what came along with being married to Usher. I remember people making jokes even on radio about her skin being dark, along with her being “ unattractive and comparing her to Chilli, her responding to a lot of the backlash contributed to the demise of her marriage, I also remember when she raced up to the radio station and it was an altercation, she’s gone through a lot
She been through a lot her bridesmaid f Usher…. She really wasn’t prepared for Usher. Usher did her so wrong I’m so glad to see her smiling this lady’s life was exhausted with pain.
Carlos MFing KING!!!!! Tameka is definitely Reality TV Gold and We The People have been missing out on her being in our lives. Please dont let her go anywhere she is going to be FAN FAVORITE!!! We want so much more of Tameka Raymond on TV.
Hey Carlos! I was waiting for this interview! I absolutely love Tameka.❤ She is beautiful! She is smart! She is kind! You can tell she has a soft heart. I get her!! Tameka is a Capricorn! Chile, we don't do fake! We love life, and we are loyal to a fault. We give respect to everyone, but we don't kiss up! And I'm sure Usher loved that about her. Tameka has so much to give and so much to say, and I hope that she continues to share her story because we need to hear from more genuine people in entertainment.
I always wondered when she made that comment if she was talking about Tamika appearance or personality. I think she's gorgeous, smart and stylish, so I see why he married her.
Usher was young and young looking also Marketed to be something that his dating choice wasn’t aligned. Her looks got unfairly critiqued based on his public persona
@dantecox820 Looking from the outside in Usher doesn't seem to have a type. It's the people on the outside having issues with his choices. People always seem to have issues with darker skinned. women and plus size women. Now they mad he's with a white woman.
@@marcellaisaacs7425 I think during the time it was more so her age, because because people had issues with the older Lightskin lady after her…. Overweight and Darkskin women with African features society is overly critical, but I think if Tamika was with, Al B Sure People would not have thought twice
I love Tameka ❤, I'm glad she checked those girls, because they really don't want to know her for her. They just want to know about her that made Usher love and married her and not them. She keeps it real 💯
I met tameka so many years ago when she was Subway's and 702's stylist. In Indianapolis . I was dancing for some of the acts that were there for black expo. We actually thought she was their manager as she was totally running everything that had to do with the group at that time. She even gave us different tops to make sure we matched with group . She was so ahead of her time with thechoices she had for the group..a lot of metallic silver and black patent leather . She gave them a swag and style that showed up in fashion some time later .
I hate when people think just because you are straight forward, don't let you get in your business. Then say you mean. Keep it real Tameka and stay true to yourself 💯💯❤️
Great interview. Gave me a deeper insight into her. She’s witty, impulsive, and random. That haircut is very flattering on her. I do remember that episode of TRL. I remember Tameka being blamed for decisions Usher was making about his mom and his management. And, I remember the colorism. People making awful comments because Usher chose to marry a woman his same complexion. It was sad.
I remember thinking why did Usher marry her, but not because of her looks. I thought she appeared older than him. But listening to her, I see why, she is very confident and is funny. Usher liked what he saw and we can't be mad at that. Now he is with a total opposite and now the standards of the industry are even worse when it comes to a woman's looks.
She listens to defend and not to understand.... This is what she does on the show. Interrupted Carlos mind statement when he's simply including info to ask a question. She quickly jumped to defense mood
I love this interview!! I can listen to her talk all day. I ALWAYS thought she was a good looking woman with a lot of style! I am happy to see her healed, loving and living!! Keep going Tameka!!!!
My dad is from Oakland And he TOO is real mean😆. Meaning he says what everyone else is thinking but afraid to say. He’s also funny, giving,he can cook, he stands on business. I love him dearly 🤎✊🏾. He’s a girl dad ( I’m his one and only-and his eldest child)💗
This woman is extraordinary! I know she has a little potty mouth at times but she is definitely blessed! I have never experienced someone as real as this woman. I truly believe she has an anointing on her life and I pray that she uses it to bring women together and help with the younger and older generation. God Bless you Tameka you are the bomb!
I’m glad I watched this interview ❤. From what I saw on tv I can’t admit I didn’t like her but I found out today I really rock with her and I absolutely understand her now . She is very self aware and knows how to give props when they are due which speaks volumes for her character. Not to mention she is really cool as hell and down to earth. Go head Tameka ❤❤❤
I absolutely LOVE THIS WOMAN!!! She is sooooo cerebral, authentic, quirky, sensitive, and dynamic. She lives above the matrix and reads people well enough to know when to open up and when to out up boundaries. She cannot be BOXED and I live for it. I so understand her and how her inner child shines through. People cant stand when others shine. It makes them uncomfortable. Spirit Animal indeed! Carlos I love you however, feeling sorry for someone is an insult and constantly trying to push her to go back into wjat she felt when you obviously see she'd prefer to live in hindsight is weird af!
This is a phenomenal woman! Hands down one of the dopest women I have ever met. Beautiful, Cultured, Classy, Stylish, Honest, HILARIOIUS, Kind, and Top Tier! You make the show a joy to watch! I love Tameka. Thank you for this interview Carlos. Very well done! Her book is POWERFUL! I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
Honestly she never gives me messy, she gives me “Just mind your business” very quick, witty and definitely bougie
Yes she definitely gives me that and she also be giving she think she better then everybody because she was married to usher and give that energy she can ask ppl bout their relationships but don’t want nobody to question her
That’s A True Capricorn. 😊
Then you don't need to be on a reality TV show
Big Capricorn energy !
I don’t like her. Very much ego is wat she gives. She’s very much washed out.

Yes! I came her to say this exactly same thing. I'm on my phone and was like Why does she sound like Whitney? 😅
She does sound like Whitney… like whoa just clocked that lol
💯💯💯💯yesss
I definitely feel Whitney
Whitney 😮🧐😏
The nerve of anyone to question this woman's beauty. She is stunning, always has been. I hate that it's even a conversation.
I know, especially her small lips and keen features😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I always thought she was pretty also.
Carlos went over board with the references to her being called those names
🎯
I Agree she is Beautiful! I can't understand where that is unattractive comes from!
Tameka is beautiful and smart. She is well spoken which shows how intelligent is.
Sadly, I feel marrying him affected her mental then no to mention her son passing away shortly after.
I wish people leave this lady alone.
Same thing with Kanye mom. Being involved in this industry made her feel she needed plastic surgery now she gone and he crazy.
Then that other young lady that was married to the comedian.
The judgement is not right nobody perfect.
I understand what she’s saying. It’s part of her story, because people have bad circumstances, a past, SO! People don’t stay the same they grow. It’s makes her the Great woman she is today. She is not in the same Mental State that she was with Usher. People love to see people in the same space they were in when she was having a ruff time. Everyone has a story ( EVERYONE) Either you remain the same or you grow. It seems to me she has grown, ( I absolutely understand her and her growth is beautiful and amazing, I’m her age so I get it wholeheartedly .
I agree, too. Annnnnnd she too smart, tooooooo wise , that's why that marriage didn't last with usher.
@@justinawilliamson5714 Yep, she was to Mature for him.
Tameka, thank you for being transparent. Carlos thank you for humanizing a woman who has been judged and misunderstood for too long.
This!! ❤❤
Say it again!!! ❤️❤️
Tameka is beautiful and she has similarities to Whitney Huston. I just think she is straight forward and some folks can’t take it. ❤❤❤❤
I came to say the same thing. She has a Whitney vibe in this interview. I haven’t watch the show yet.
She reminds me so much of Whitney.
She does have a Whitney vibe

Tameka is absolutely gorgeous. I remember her getting all this backlash when she married Usher. But they're only 7 years apart. This is such a refreshing interview.
She was older and dark and I truly believe that was the real issue....
Wow. Only 7 years. Sorry but she looks way older.
8 years apart she’s 53 he’s 45
@@pretty_bull0516she looks her age to me … she’s 53 going on 54

Absolutely gorgeous 🤩
I don’t know about colorism, but Tamekas just pretty, and unapologetic.
And Usher’s mom has a VERY similar personality to Tameka..in ATL, people knows J PAT does NOT play
Me too. I’m getting her book now for sure.
Bold and Bougie actually makes me like her! The more mature me appreciates her no nonsense demeanor.
ME TOO!
Tameka is blunt and unapologetic with a big personality. She knows who she is and knows her talents. If she were a man with these traits, nobody would criticize her.
Maybe, I always like her….
Facts.
At all you’re 💯% correct
She still loves him. It still hurts to talk about, which is why she cracks jokes and changes the subject as a defense mechanism. It's so sad that the public and industry broke them up.
I agree she loves him and is hurt and she misses her son, He was hers!!
I love her on Bold and Bougie. She's that Auntie, the gift that keeps on giving on that show. Giving zero mucks about how Goche is concerned about her past marriage to Usher. 😍

I found another level of respect for Tameka after this interview. I knew she wasn’t a monster,she’s not fake and many can’t take that. She’s a beautiful black woman🩷🩷🩷🩷 I always loved her from the beginning. She was mistreated for years while dating Usher..
And it was extremely terrible, how he didn't 100 percent be in Tameka corner, keep her as his wife, because she really wasn't the problem.
She's gorgeous from head to toe! Her personality reminds me
of Whitney Houston.
Yes!! I just left this comment!
She definitely does, and sounds almost like her😫😫
Dang she do!!!!!!
She does remind me of Whitney. Gorgeous and Real!
He'll I been wondering was he on drugs or just humping anything cause no she looks old
Tameka is one of those people where if I see she’s interviewing, I want to tune in. Maybe it’s because she’s so candid and is funny.
Everyone that think this woman is less than gorge and funny is crazy, Tameka and Crystal are my favorites, sorry, never liked Malaysia , she always forms guard dogs, then acts oblivious.
Yes short hair is harder to maintain than any other length.. Lots of work to style and daily prep.
This is a myth. Short hair is so much easier to maintain than wigs, weaves and long hair. I’ve rocked short hair before it was fashionable and have received many compliments throughout my journey. I respect women who have the confidence to rock short hair.
It's a wig. You can see the glue around the edges
Tameka is honestly has one of the most captivating women! What an amazing personality!!! Wow, shine you beautiful beautiful soul!
8 minutes in and I'm loving the way she's praising and speaking about her sons as a blessing 💕
I love this lady! Lol. She is hilarious. When she said "I give zero fcks" I could absolutely relate.
I think I just realize why Carlos is so successful when it comes to producing shows and working in the entertainment industry centered around ensembles of women…. He actually loves women you can tell by the way he interviews the way he talks about women. He has a profound love for women.
And he’s been that way since High School.
His sister has a popular podcast. Big family of beautiful people. It’s a lot of them siblings.
Because inside he is a black woman, don't get it twisted, everything about him is girly.
I totally agree with you and it's refreshing.
They need to put him back the producer for RHOA
Yup, And he lets them talk and express themselves!
I have literally always been fascinated by Tamika, but this interview really made me want to go read her book, purchasing the book TUHDAY. She has me feeling inspired to embrace the past and live in my truth. Love her down. WE NEEDED THIS CA-LOS !

I really enjoyed this interview. I can see why Usher fell in love with Tameka. I now have a newfound respect for her. Good job Carlos! 👍🏾
@Carlos these interviews just get better and better. Love being able to see another side of the stars you interview.❤❤❤❤❤
He def ask the questions we want answers to
Thanks Carlos for letting us hear Tameka.
Tameka has always been beautiful. I never thought she was ugly. I can admit that I was so upset she married Usher because I judged her on her age. I’m so sorry.
Her personality is off the chain , very funny and she has a big heart. 5 sons and one passed on.
God Bless you Tameka. UR Amazing
People were still invested in Usher and Chili when they got together. That was the problem...then the issues with het and Usher's mom didn't help either
LA Reid wasn’t a fan either allegedly.
I love the short hair and she's right when she says that it's harder to maintain. She's very straightforward and doesn't entertain BS. This was a very interesting interview.
I like Tameka she is just direct and not for the bs. As a Taurus I understand her completely 😂 take it or leave it 💅🏾
Most Taurus do understand us because you are a fellow earth sign🥰.
Facts sis. Us Taurus have zero tolerance for the bs
she’s a capricorn ♑️
Great interview. I think the beauty of not following these well-known people is that, when I listen to these interviews, I'm able to listen with clear intentions. I like her. Very articulate and comical. I pray that this interviee allowed others to see another side of her.
I’ve always thought she was so beautiful ppl think light n mixed are the standard beauty that’s why people had so much to say about why usher chose her but she’s absolutely gorgeous n her personality good too probably what wooed usher
@deaconking9328
I agree.Tameka is attractive.
I resonate with her 100% in this interview! I can listen to her talk all day
She is GORGEOUS ❤
I love you, Tameka 😍 Yassssss....beauty is her name. I totally agree, Carlos. I felt and hurt for their love.
This explains EVERYTHANG!!!!! Tameka is a January Capricorn!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
She reminds me of Whitney in her Bobby era.
I am from Atlanta and I do remember the timeline what led up to Tameeka’s divorce. I can say that Tameeka was not prepared for what came along with being married to Usher. I remember people making jokes even on radio about her skin being dark, along with her being “ unattractive and comparing her to Chilli, her responding to a lot of the backlash contributed to the demise of her marriage, I also remember when she raced up to the radio station and it was an altercation, she’s gone through a lot
She been through a lot her bridesmaid f Usher…. She really wasn’t prepared for Usher. Usher did her so wrong I’m so glad to see her smiling this lady’s life was exhausted with pain.
I didn’t like her before but after watching the show my heart softened and now while watching this, I understand her. THANKS CARLOS
This is the conversation that I’ve been waiting on. ❤❤❤
We need this realness this grown women rawness I want her book
@@theEdouble me too
Thank you Tameka for doing this show! I came to know and love and Get You beyond the headlines. I See You! 👑💜🌷💯
Carlos MFing KING!!!!! Tameka is definitely Reality TV Gold and We The People have been missing out on her being in our lives. Please dont let her go anywhere she is going to be FAN FAVORITE!!! We want so much more of Tameka Raymond on TV.
Hey Carlos! I was waiting for this interview! I absolutely love Tameka.❤ She is beautiful! She is smart! She is kind! You can tell she has a soft heart. I get her!! Tameka is a Capricorn! Chile, we don't do fake! We love life, and we are loyal to a fault. We give respect to everyone, but we don't kiss up! And I'm sure Usher loved that about her. Tameka has so much to give and so much to say, and I hope that she continues to share her story because we need to hear from more genuine people in entertainment.
Thank you for bringing her to reality tv!!! I absolutely love her.
I love her voice most of all. Her energy is a vibe and DEFINITELY her style and personality.
Tameka gives me Mary Cosby, and I love it🤣🤣
😂😂😂 now SHE is bat$h*t crazy!
Ha yes 😂😂
Omg yes 😂😂
Love me some Mary
Perfect comparison!!
Gather here cuz we enjoyed this interview
Thank u Carlos n Tameka 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I always wondered when she made that comment if she was talking about Tamika appearance or personality. I think she's gorgeous, smart and stylish, so I see why he married her.
That truly pissed me off because I'm like you. What did that mean?
Usher was young and young looking also Marketed to be something that his dating choice wasn’t aligned. Her looks got unfairly critiqued based on his public persona
@dantecox820 Looking from the outside in Usher doesn't seem to have a type. It's the people on the outside having issues with his choices. People always seem to have issues with darker skinned. women and plus size women. Now they mad he's with a white woman.
@@marcellaisaacs7425 I think during the time it was more so her age, because because people had issues with the older Lightskin lady after her…. Overweight and Darkskin women with African features society is overly critical, but I think if Tamika was with, Al B Sure People would not have thought twice
I love Tameka ❤, I'm glad she checked those girls, because they really don't want to know her for her. They just want to know about her that made Usher love and married her and not them. She keeps it real 💯
Tameka is so beautiful. She has a beautiful soul❤❤ May God continue to bless this Queen!!
I met tameka so many years ago when she was Subway's and 702's stylist. In Indianapolis . I was dancing for some of the acts that were there for black expo. We actually thought she was their manager as she was totally running everything that had to do with the group at that time. She even gave us different tops to make sure we matched with group . She was so ahead of her time with thechoices she had for the group..a lot of metallic silver and black patent leather . She gave them a swag and style that showed up in fashion some time later .
I’ve never watched the show, Bold and Bougie, but this interview has made me know and like her. As a seasoned woman, she’d be my friend.
Tameka is definitely that bougie Auntie! 😂 I love how straight forward she is.
& One thing abt Carlos…he gone have a real conversation
I hate when people think just because you are straight forward, don't let you get in your business. Then say you mean. Keep it real Tameka and stay true to yourself 💯💯❤️
These Tuesday releases are everything!!!
Great interview. Gave me a deeper insight into her. She’s witty, impulsive, and random. That haircut is very flattering on her. I do remember that episode of TRL. I remember Tameka being blamed for decisions Usher was making about his mom and his management. And, I remember the colorism. People making awful comments because Usher chose to marry a woman his same complexion. It was sad.
She told Carlos you wrote this shit😂😂😂😂 yo she a gangsta from Oakland
Great interview… her “no what I’m saying” reminds me of how Whitney said it. 💕
Love, love, love the interview!! She is so funny, articulate, smart, stylish….and a BEAUTIFUL, BROWN WOMAN!!
I remember thinking why did Usher marry her, but not because of her looks. I thought she appeared older than him. But listening to her, I see why, she is very confident and is funny. Usher liked what he saw and we can't be mad at that. Now he is with a total opposite and now the standards of the industry are even worse when it comes to a woman's looks.
And her personality is VERY similar to Usher’s mom, J PAT…his mom is no non sense too
Gocha worried about how Tameka got Usher, when she doesn't have a man herself was wild...we love Tameka inside and out
Goche is married
@@AbdulMiller1 she's married to a woman.. so it doesn't count
She's married .... n to a woman... this comment makes no sense 😂😂
She doesn't want a man, she has who she wants and love!
GOCHA spirit ain't right.
Thank u Tameka for this interview! Beautiful and classy ❤️ keep going strong 💪🏽
why has she not been on every reality show ever... she is AMAZING!!!!!
She was on Atlanta Ex's
Love this interview. My kind of lady…straight forward! Ang❤
I’m loving some Tameka ‘ she’s definitely going to gather the girls with the quickness
She listens to defend and not to understand.... This is what she does on the show. Interrupted Carlos mind statement when he's simply including info to ask a question. She quickly jumped to defense mood
I didn't realize she is from Oakland, CA.....stand up Bay Area!❤
I love this interview!! I can listen to her talk all day. I ALWAYS thought she was a good looking woman with a lot of style! I am happy to see her healed, loving and living!! Keep going Tameka!!!!
23:35 “ How do I end this call?” 🤣
She just old😂.
@@AN-fg4cdyou better hope and pray you get old
She's a pretty lady and unsure where anything otherwise came abt. It's gr8 4 us 2 b healthier and have joi. We need positivity and 2 walk n r gifts ❤🎉
My dad is from Oakland And he TOO is real mean😆. Meaning he says what everyone else is thinking but afraid to say. He’s also funny, giving,he can cook, he stands on business. I love him dearly 🤎✊🏾. He’s a girl dad ( I’m his one and only-and his eldest child)💗
This woman is extraordinary! I know she has a little potty mouth at times but she is definitely blessed! I have never experienced someone as real as this woman. I truly believe she has an anointing on her life and I pray that she uses it to bring women together and help with the younger and older generation. God Bless you Tameka you are the bomb!
I like her, she's always stood on business and not foolishness. Tamika's name is called in the industry she's just low key.
I’m glad I watched this interview ❤. From what I saw on tv I can’t admit I didn’t like her but I found out today I really rock with her and I absolutely understand her now . She is very self aware and knows how to give props when they are due which speaks volumes for her character. Not to mention she is really cool as hell and down to earth. Go head Tameka ❤❤❤
I absolutely LOVE THIS WOMAN!!! She is sooooo cerebral, authentic, quirky, sensitive, and dynamic. She lives above the matrix and reads people well enough to know when to open up and when to out up boundaries. She cannot be BOXED and I live for it. I so understand her and how her inner child shines through. People cant stand when others shine. It makes them uncomfortable. Spirit Animal indeed!
Carlos I love you however, feeling sorry for someone is an insult and constantly trying to push her to go back into wjat she felt when you obviously see she'd prefer to live in hindsight is weird af!
This is a phenomenal woman! Hands down one of the dopest women I have ever met. Beautiful, Cultured, Classy, Stylish, Honest, HILARIOIUS, Kind, and Top Tier! You make the show a joy to watch! I love Tameka. Thank you for this interview Carlos. Very well done! Her book is POWERFUL! I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
