Devante is such an enigma. I hear horror stories about him, then other stories talking about how he helped people, then some gangsta shit, then he writes the most beautiful love songs. And he never speaks out for himself - it's everybody else doing the talking, spreading the rumours but DeVante remains a mystery.
I was there. I was the drummer for Jodeci until 09'. I know the truth behind most of the stories. I got with Jodeci 8 months before Forever my lady dropped. I played guitar parts on that album. Facts.
@@dornishajohnson7891 I agree but I think KCI is the one who doesn’t want it to come out. Which I feel like it’s because of him and Mary. They had a very physical and toxic relationship back then and I think he doesn’t want to get bashed over the internet for how he treated her. Dalvin has always said there was a biopic coming but KCI always turned it down
Just saw DeVante onstage a few days ago. That man is seriously one of the greatest RnB producers EVER 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 his swag, ear for music, gift, skill for writing, gift for arranging, mixing, EVERYTHING. My uncle put me onto him 🔥🔥🔥
@@jasonwhite4891 Ontario, CA. There was a big 90’s rewind musical fest and Jodeci performed. He was also one of the main sound managers too because their band played for a lot of other artists that performed so he was backstage anyway. I went with my mom, cousins and a few other people. It was a good show. TLC was good too. There’s another defeat happening in Vegas next year. His daughter said he’s thinking about performing with Jodeci there too. Kci wasn’t there at the show in Ontario because he had a stroke , but Kci and jojo’s cousin filled in.
@@deonnadyson Dyana mentioned it a little before her birthday. A close friend of his mentioned it too, one of his goddaughter's parents but one of the fans asked if he would consider going and she said he's thinking about it. This was before Dalvin announced that DeVante would be at the show in Ontario. I hope he still goes, it was good to see him. You could tell he was happy being onstage. He was interacting with the fans too. I didn't get to meet him but me and my aunt and cousins were in the 3 row to the right of the stage and my aunt if course was being a groupie and yelled out his name , she got his attention tho one time LOL but that was about it. IDK if they did meet and greets but they may have because there were exclusive interviews that will be posted on some radio station IG. Overall, the show was amazing and Jodeci actually did a good job without K-ci. I was wondering what happened to him but it was said he was recovering from a stroke.
He probably felt stripped of identity and needed total control along with power after those guys roughed him up in his house. Whatever the case may be the big picture is you can’t erase pain by inflicting it on others.
The abused always become the abuser. I hear the reason he got beat up and robbed and beat withing an inch of his life. And with him having to bite their fingers off was the only way he survived. K-ci brought an underage girl over DeVante house and D asked her for I'd and she refuse to show it and he pulled a gun on her ofcousre she left and told her peoples that she was rapped buy him, afterwards some guys broke in his house and beat him up and robbed him

Say what you want about De. 1 thing for sho, that TSTATH album changed music forever . From the 808 bass glides , snare , clap combo, reverse snares , wah wah guitars , phasers , and all them synths . Nobody was doin that shit until that album was dropped . De was the first to do the whole “singin/ rappin” thing on records . Y’all can have your opinion, your entitled to it , but ITS FACTS . DeVante changed the way music was made with JODECI . Facts!!!!!!
@@Jess-ew3tm Don't want to speak for pellis, but DeVante was doing the sing-songy rapping thing. Not necessarily throwing a rap on an R&B song, but having melodies and notes within raps where you really couldn't say it was an R&B song or a rap song.
TSTAPTH is bananas. The production is out of this world & still sounds futuristic in a lot of ways. Let's Do It All still floors me ... I wish we could get an official instrumental of that album.
Good to know that one of my childhood and all time favorite R&B singers JoJo is a loyal friend and stands up for those who are being bullied. It's not the certain number of friends that you have that's important, it's the number of friends that you are certain of that's important 💯
@@johnhardy1931 yeah but Devante wrote , produced and arranged the music so idk if they lasted cause he knew better than to come at K-Ci and Jojo like that or what ?
@@TheGameIsTheGame1 Devante seems sadistic withholding people from things maybe that's why we can't get a new album he's torturing us for his own pleasure 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@redrockballa yeah like life is way too short to be letting it go to waste because of someone or the media or an environment that goes from good to bad comes into your life destroying your happiness and peace
This guy is the best💯%....I met him in London I believe it was between 2006 - 2009...and I've never met a nicer person...after they performed in Wembley my friends and i found out that they were to be at the hotel in the foyer...we thought the info we got wasn't real but we still went along ONLY TO FIND them chilling and talking to ppl there....I was shocked but happy. When my sister and i saw devante we offered to buy him a drink and he was TOTALLY SHOCKED (I guess he was used to young girls asking him for drinks) and after looking stunned for a while he said only if you want too.....he only made us buy him ONE drink and he was so humble with it....after standing with us and talking for a while he went and walk around alittle.....then he came back to where we were (always accompanied with his assistant and friend)and I asked him if he was looking for any new talent and could i sing for him and he said sure hes always looking for new talent....we went over to where the sofa was(my sister, best friend, devante, his assistant and I) and then i sang for him....and I'll never forget those words he said after i sang which was "give this girl my number right now" I thought i was dreaming lol....after that he chilled with us on the sofa and we spoke for about 1hr....about life and all sorts....we all spoke like when you speak to your siblings...even though in my head I was screaming (devante is really talking to us lol) anyways after, he said he was going back to his hotel room so we said it was nice meeting him and was just about to leave...then I asked him when should I call and he said he was leaving for America the next day so he would be back in the studio around Wednesday which was three days away...I said OK I will call him then we went home. Wednesday came and I went to call his phone and his assistant answered, I said can I speak to devante and she said 1min....he came on the phone and I was like hi devante I don't think you will remember me but....(and before I could finish he was like) yes I remember that voice your _ _ _ _ _😮 I was shocked😮, I was like wow you remembered my name😊 and he was like "of course how could I forget a voice like that "🤗 anyways long story short we planned that he would bring me over to America and have me in the studio.....but being the clumsy CLUMSY girl I am, I lost his number😕😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭....but best experience EVER....THANKS DEVANTE for just being who you are....A REAL GENUINE NICE GENTLEMEN 😊
Devante Swing hatred will not be tolerated. This dude is literally the best producer who never got the flowers he deserved. A disciple of Prince, he mixed Prince vibe beats with Hip Hop. Insane. Imagine if him and PAC would have done a joint album like they spoke about.
@@highprofile2170 there is no such thing as shitty people…only shitty actions. I love hearing people using a concept like “idol worship”….which is Christian, but then using anti Christian rhetoric like “shitty people” in a judgemental fashion. Remember the dude who wrote 3/4ths of your New Testament was quite a shitty person when he was murdering Christians before he got saved.
@@TheGameIsTheGame1 wasted potential is a lil better. My man had Jodeci then had missy timbo and ginuwine smh. Woulda gave him another 15 years in the game easy
DaVante was super talented and a great finder of talent. He literally put together probably the hottest musical crew of the late 90's/early 2000's. And that included one of the greatest writers in Static Major. And DeVante wasn't around for any of it when they took off which lets you know he likely had ways about him which drove them far away. I bet he saw the end of the "Up Jump Da Boogie" video with all them standing there and lost it. How do you have all that talent in your basement for years and not push them? When you start to believe that everybody around is not talented and hard working in their own right and you minimize their potential to exalt yours. Hopefully he can change and have another run because he obviously has an awesome ear.
ALL of those artists GLADLY worked with less talented people. Writers, Singers, Producers, Engineers all walked away and it didn't have to be that way if Devante had figured out how to treat people with the same respect that he expected.
Good post. Think of all the money Devante blew. When Jodeci was done, he could've rode that wave on some executive sh## and cashed out. All that would've been signed under him.
@@MichaelBrown-ti1un what's even more crazy is Devante tried to pass them off to Mike Tyson when Mike had a record label Mike said no but took them out dinner
🤦🏽♀️😭🤣 Damn! this is the 1st time hearing these crazy stories about Devante. Amazing Artist/ Producer. Jodeci was definitely "my group", but slapping the artists?? Lol 😩
I saw a short clip of someone talking to DeVante in an airport, what I can tell is DeVante talks very hard and matter of fact, and he curses a lot. And a lot of people, especially people like a Danny Boy is too sensitive and can’t handle being talked to hard like that. DeVante is one of them people who doesn’t say too much of anything in a nice way.
@@jtg8156 STOP wit yo lies. If that shit had happened, DB would've been one of the first to say it. Instead he's NEVER had a bad word to say about tupac till this day. So when and where did he allegedly say this???
I got a few unexpected keyboard lessons from Devante when I was 19 in Rochester. I was around him and I think he only tried people he think he could. He’s not supposed to be nice - he’s a peak value man. A grizzly bear.
@@mialashanaee7147 Right, he knows he was the sweet kid of the crew and would never fight……but it’s just so convenient to jump on the Devante hate bandwagon that the other celebs have been riding for years now…..Clout chaser shit!!

Not everybody is going to be nice. That’s life. It trips me out when people proclaim someone isn’t nice like it’s a big revelation or big deal. Who cares!! I don’t expect everyone to be nice.
I agree with you not everyone is going to be nice but everyone should respect one another and I believe that’s what Danny Boy was trying to say in this interview
Everyone is not going to be nice to you. But for someone to go out their way to make a statement of someone being unkind says alot. And the fact that multiple people throughout the years have had similar experiences says a mouthful!
Lmao!!! It’s not funny, but I’m laughing!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’m just imagining a wall full of men lined up, waiting to be smacked! No way in hell! I wouldn’t be an artist, if that was something I had to endure. 😂😂😂
Damn! Danny Boy be talking 👀 Never mind spilling, he be pouring them beans out 😬 I guess the saying goes that if you want to know the truth about something, to either ask, a child, a drunk person, and now Danny Boy. Lol
Davante has had his growing pains in the past. He’s done some not so nice things and he’s done some really good things for people. His past was complicated but that’s not the man he is today. He’s made amends for the things he’s done and the people he hurt, and has grown a lot. None of us are perfect and we all have a past. Growth & maturity are a beautiful thing.
Swing is getting Royalties off all of there songs as well. Hes just fine. Just because he chooses not to be in the lime light because he's an introvert doesn't mean shyt!
Crazy, as soon as this went off, the song that was sampled for I can't stand the rain came on in Duke Hospital cafe, lol. Still playing as I type this.
DeVante is a down to earth guy y’all I’ve met him and Dalvin matter of fact they are all down to earth but DeVante was the boss and he let the power get the best of him and them niggas in the home invasion DIED not to mention you know damn well JoJo was ready to fight about Danny boy he was JoJo’s voice on that tour he can’t sing anymore.
Big Facts..😂😂😂 That's why JoJo took up for him because Danny Boy was his voice until they fired his ass about mentioning MJB in his book saying he slept with her.
@@DJGary0910 no he's not bro he's saying one of the dudes that invaded devante House is dead while the other one is probably still in jail all the devante did in that situation according to what dalvin said was they broke in his house they tried to kill devante but devante was fighting back and bit one of the dudes fingers off
@@marciarandolph9659 yeah like Danny boy need to quit bringing up all that dirty laundry that shit is toxic for the rest of jodeci since all of em in their 50s now trying to live a happy life while they still can
@@deonnadyson They still do Look how many females named they sons after Devante dude could’ve been a model if he wanted to. But I heard Devante Dad was really strict on him growing up that’s why he ran away from home at 16. Seeing that he was the oldest and the most talented of the kids Dad probably was real hard on him.
I'd honestly be pissed off too if he responded with *"I'm going to get you some dick"* 😂 Like bro get the F off my bus with that for real though lmfao.. DeVante was joking but Danny was dead serious.. you'll fall asleep and end up having a d!¢ .k in your mouth 💀
Devante was never the same after that home invasion. Art see if you can get some info on that because it was told that he was allegedly r word during that incident. He changed tremendously after that incident. Love the content Art! Keep banging these interviews out my G!
Stevie J said it was one of Devante's and Dalvin's cousins that was acting as Devante's lackey that had started slapping the basement members (during a meeting) not Devante himself.
Yeah it seems like DB is being super emotional lol he even stated a while back Devante was like his brother and he was working on music with him at his house in LA. Now he's a "horrible person"
Good day people.......My name is Terri Robinson. I am a singer and songwriter from Uptown records since 1986 and I never write on these forums, but when they talk about someone that I know very well I just feel compelled to chime in. I've known Devante since I was 18 and although everyone has a right to their opinions.......I just have to say that I've never known him to be a horrible person. D has a great heart and in my opinion has been misrepresented as far as the person he is. No disrespect to you at all Danny boy, but you are speaking about him in a very unsure way when you say " I can see that's how he may have treated his artists" if you don't know for sure.....you should not speak about it like its facts. I could be wrong, but I don't recall Missy, Timberland, or Genuine stating that as facts. All I'm saying is I know Devante well.... he is family to me.....and I had to say something. I just hope that before anyone makes any further judgements about this man, that maybe just try to do your homework 1st before you take what someone is saying as facts. Better yet, hear it from the person or the actual people it supposedly happened to. Sometimes I feel like people use and talk about a relevant person to be relevant. Peace to you all.....
First of all DeVante is not a horrible person. Just because someone doesn’t agree with your life style doesn’t make them horrible. Maybe he said somethings you didn’t like maybe he didn’t your telling your side. He might have been joking. We all reap what we sow. I’m sure he knows that. If he treated people wrong it will come back just like you saying he’s a horrible person someone might say that about you. I had my own experience and he is nice and respectful. Saying someone is horrible person is not nice. That’s a huge stone to throw. Just saying.
You act like he making the shit up he actually met the fucking man. Maybe he should slap you around then you can continue about how great of a person he is.
One interview he will say nobody knew he was gay cause “you could t bring that to death row” then now back in the day devante knew if your sexuality at 15/16? Hmm then he said Suge didn’t know til later but I’m SURE someone told suge that ESPECIALLY if DANNY BOY was as CLOSE to him as he say! 🤔 sumn ain’t adding up
People only treat you the way you let them treat you. If you let somebody slap you around then somebody is bound to do it. But If stand up for yo self and don’t let people get away with that then it won’t happen.
But Danny Boy been claiming he's not gay. Then certain stories he says they knew. Then one interview he said hell naw. 2 weeks later a new interview and he's admitting it. I think all these folks are lying.
There is a VH1 Behind the music on missy. And they have alot them talking about Devante and how much they hated him....But Devante is one of the most underrated producers ever. Those 1st 3 Jodeci were all produced by him and were excellent albums!
I heard he used to beat them when they sang fuxxed up.. and he would lock them in the basement for days.. Missy nem' never speak on Devante that's why I believe it. How you pyscho and a genius at the same time 😩
@@ebonystone8890 the robbery happened first, missy and all of them was apart of his camp since ‘91 and then ‘93 is when he got robbed and when everybody says he changed.
Potentially the best interviews, ever. Unfortunately they don't mean a damn thing since we can't hear anything. God forbid my fans on low or my ac is on. Can't even chew my food. Not a single interview.
Devante is such an enigma. I hear horror stories about him, then other stories talking about how he helped people, then some gangsta shit, then he writes the most beautiful love songs.

@@Jess-ew3tm Don't want to speak for pellis, but DeVante was doing the sing-songy rapping thing. Not necessarily throwing a rap on an R&B song, but having melodies and notes within raps where you really couldn't say it was an R&B song or a rap song.
TSTAPTH is bananas. The production is out of this world & still sounds futuristic in a lot of ways. Let's Do It All still floors me ... I wish we could get an official instrumental of that album.
Good to know that one of my childhood and all time favorite R&B singers JoJo is a loyal friend and stands up for those who are being bullied. It's not the certain number of friends that you have that's important, it's the number of friends that you are certain of that's important 💯
Damn Devante one of my favorite musicians ever but seeing how he’s reported to treat ppl Im surprised that Jodeci lasted to even make three albums .
Devante didn't treat kc or jojo like that and mr dalvin is his brother so it's not hard to see how they made 3 albums
@@johnhardy1931 yeah but Devante wrote , produced and arranged the music so idk if they lasted cause he knew better than to come at K-Ci and Jojo like that or what ?

This guy is the best💯%....I met him in London I believe it was between 2006 - 2009...and I've never met a nicer person...after they performed in Wembley my friends and i found out that they were to be at the hotel in the foyer...we thought the info we got wasn't real but we still went along ONLY TO FIND them chilling and talking to ppl there....I was shocked but happy. When my sister and i saw devante we offered to buy him a drink and he was TOTALLY SHOCKED (I guess he was used to young girls asking him for drinks) and after looking stunned for a while he said only if you want too.....he only made us buy him ONE drink and he was so humble with it....after standing with us and talking for a while he went and walk around alittle.....then he came back to where we were (always accompanied with his assistant and friend)and I asked him if he was looking for any new talent and could i sing for him and he said sure hes always looking for new talent....we went over to where the sofa was(my sister, best friend, devante, his assistant and I) and then i sang for him....and I'll never forget those words he said after i sang which was "give this girl my number right now" I thought i was dreaming lol....after that he chilled with us on the sofa and we spoke for about 1hr....about life and all sorts....we all spoke like when you speak to your siblings...even though in my head I was screaming (devante is really talking to us lol) anyways after, he said he was going back to his hotel room so we said it was nice meeting him and was just about to leave...then I asked him when should I call and he said he was leaving for America the next day so he would be back in the studio around Wednesday which was three days away...I said OK I will call him then we went home. Wednesday came and I went to call his phone and his assistant answered, I said can I speak to devante and she said 1min....he came on the phone and I was like hi devante I don't think you will remember me but....(and before I could finish he was like) yes I remember that voice your _ _ _ _ _😮 I was shocked😮, I was like wow you remembered my name😊 and he was like "of course how could I forget a voice like that "🤗 anyways long story short we planned that he would bring me over to America and have me in the studio.....but being the clumsy CLUMSY girl I am, I lost his number😕😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭....but best experience EVER....THANKS DEVANTE for just being who you are....A REAL GENUINE NICE GENTLEMEN 😊
Aww...man this was a nice story... I hope I get to meet him? What drink did he order? Lo
stories like these are what need 2 be heard 💯💯
He remembers.
Wow! How did you lose his number!
NICE STORY! 😘💯😘
Danny Boy need his own podcast or something. This dude is hilarious
Shoutout to Jojo. Dude has always been the soul of Jodeci.
For sure!
Devante lived the R&B bad boy life to the fullest!!
Devante Swing hatred will not be tolerated. This dude is literally the best producer who never got the flowers he deserved. A disciple of Prince, he mixed Prince vibe beats with Hip Hop. Insane. Imagine if him and PAC would have done a joint album like they spoke about.
Sounds like he’s an asshole ….stop idol worshipping shitty ppl
@@highprofile2170 there is no such thing as shitty people…only shitty actions. I love hearing people using a concept like “idol worship”….which is Christian, but then using anti Christian rhetoric like “shitty people” in a judgemental fashion.

Facts
DaVante was super talented and a great finder of talent. He literally put together probably the hottest musical crew of the late 90's/early 2000's. And that included one of the greatest writers in Static Major. And DeVante wasn't around for any of it when they took off which lets you know he likely had ways about him which drove them far away. I bet he saw the end of the "Up Jump Da Boogie" video with all them standing there and lost it. How do you have all that talent in your basement for years and not push them? When you start to believe that everybody around is not talented and hard working in their own right and you minimize their potential to exalt yours. Hopefully he can change and have another run because he obviously has an awesome ear.
ALL of those artists GLADLY worked with less talented people. Writers, Singers, Producers, Engineers all walked away and it didn't have to be that way if Devante had figured out how to treat people with the same respect that he expected.
Good post. Think of all the money Devante blew. When Jodeci was done, he could've rode that wave on some executive sh## and cashed out. All that would've been signed under him.
@@MichaelBrown-ti1un what's even more crazy is Devante tried to pass them off to Mike Tyson when Mike had a record label Mike said no but took them out dinner
King of pointless rants.

They was closed to the taekwondo actor steven seagal too
Never slapped them. It was his bodyguard 🥲
I saw a short clip of someone talking to DeVante in an airport, what I can tell is DeVante talks very hard and matter of fact, and he curses a lot. And a lot of people, especially people like a Danny Boy is too sensitive and can’t handle being talked to hard like that. DeVante is one of them people who doesn’t say too much of anything in a nice way.
DeVante is an RNB Goon 😂😂🤣🤣
He slapped all there asses straight to greatness. Just like Joe Jackson. Salute to one of our goat's Mr DeVante swing.
Tupac slapped Danny boys too 🤣🌈

I got a few unexpected keyboard lessons from Devante when I was 19 in Rochester. I was around him and I think he only tried people he think he could. He’s not supposed to be nice - he’s a peak value man. A grizzly bear.
Danny Boy please, Devante probably didn’t even care about your sexuality and made a (bad) throwaway joke…..It’s never that serious🙄
That's what I'm saying Danny boy is too serious about everything I think he got bully in school he just hide everything in the closet

Stevie said it was Devantes BODYGUARD. Devante ain’t never lay hands on nobody (as we know)
There seems to be alot of interesting urban legends about Mr. Swing. Probably some truths mixed with a little or alot of exaggerations.
We need Danny boy as a regular for interviews
Not everybody is going to be nice. That’s life. It trips me out when people proclaim someone isn’t nice like it’s a big revelation or big deal. Who cares!! I don’t expect everyone to be nice.
I agree with you not everyone is going to be nice but everyone should respect one another and I believe that’s what Danny Boy was trying to say in this interview
Everyone is not going to be nice to you. But for someone to go out their way to make a statement of someone being unkind says alot. And the fact that multiple people throughout the years have had similar experiences says a mouthful!
Especially with someone big in the music industry and running things as well.
Missy did an interview and said that Devante was putting hands on them. She said he made the guys stand against the wall and they got slapped
No wonder he doesn't show his face he's ashamed

I guess the saying goes that if you want to know the truth about something, to either ask, a child, a drunk person, and now Danny Boy. Lol
😅
Danny boy lie so much ,you can never tell of he's tell the truth or a lie
Davante has had his growing pains in the past. He’s done some not so nice things and he’s done some really good things for people. His past was complicated but that’s not the man he is today. He’s made amends for the things he’s done and the people he hurt, and has grown a lot. None of us are perfect and we all have a past. Growth & maturity are a beautiful thing.
Amen
Karma came around for Devante look where Timbaland and Missy at and look where he at. Danny Boy getting everything off his chest 🤣😂
Swing doing well in life.

Did you even listen to what he said?
Fucking sick if you ask me. Imagine a normal person saying that
DeVante is a down to earth guy y’all I’ve met him and Dalvin matter of fact they are all down to earth but DeVante was the boss and he let the power get the best of him and them niggas in the home invasion DIED not to mention you know damn well JoJo was ready to fight about Danny boy he was JoJo’s voice on that tour he can’t sing anymore.
Big Facts..😂😂😂 That's why JoJo took up for him because Danny Boy was his voice until they fired his ass about mentioning MJB in his book saying he slept with her.
Wait Devante killing niggas?

Finally
Devante was never the same after that home invasion. Art see if you can get some info on that because it was told that he was allegedly r word during that incident. He changed tremendously after that incident. Love the content Art! Keep banging these interviews out my G!
What the fuck...i never heard that, if true shits crazy!
That would make sense! He definitely changed significantly after. And once Jodeci became aligned with Death Row, He became the Suge of R&B.

Love how soft guy's try to act hard and talk tough when the person he's targeting isn't around.
That part like boy you think you can beat Devante up negative that’s why jojo stepped in
Just weird how everybody is talking about Devante and he stays quiet and let them talk. Getting fame and whatever off his name.
Yeah it seems like DB is being super emotional lol he even stated a while back Devante was like his brother and he was working on music with him at his house in LA. Now he's a "horrible person"
I'll take what he says with a pinch of salt. He's just frustrated with life that's why he's lashing out at Devante.
DB is not the first who spoke up about DeVante. A lot of times you don't realize how bad something was until you get out of it.
Exactly he’s such a flip flopped lol still love his voice tho he just be lying bad sometimes or either he’s playing both sides smh

@@TIDEPROCESS18 Agreed!!
Good day people.......My name is Terri Robinson. I am a singer and songwriter from Uptown records since 1986 and I never write on these forums, but when they talk about someone that I know very well I just feel compelled to chime in. I've known Devante since I was 18 and although everyone has a right to their opinions.......I just have to say that I've never known him to be a horrible person. D has a great heart and in my opinion has been misrepresented as far as the person he is. No disrespect to you at all Danny boy, but you are speaking about him in a very unsure way when you say " I can see that's how he may have treated his artists" if you don't know for sure.....you should not speak about it like its facts. I could be wrong, but I don't recall Missy, Timberland, or Genuine stating that as facts. All I'm saying is I know Devante well.... he is family to me.....and I had to say something. I just hope that before anyone makes any further judgements about this man, that maybe just try to do your homework 1st before you take what someone is saying as facts. Better yet, hear it from the person or the actual people it supposedly happened to. Sometimes I feel like people use and talk about a relevant person to be relevant. Peace to you all.....
Man you are blessed I just want to meet and know him... lol..
I've known some peopleall.my life and still surprised bout some of the stuff they have done. What you see is not always what someone else sees
Danny Boy a funny dude man and he don’t know it 😂
Ummmm yea he knows he funny!
When I first heard of DeVante slapping artists I knew out the gate he wasn’t slapping JoJo or KCi. Especially JoJo !
I doubt that he slapped Genuine. Genuine was a golden gloves champ at one point, if I'm not mistaken.
First of all DeVante is not a horrible person. Just because someone doesn’t agree with your life style doesn’t make them horrible. Maybe he said somethings you didn’t like maybe he didn’t your telling your side. He might have been joking. We all reap what we sow. I’m sure he knows that. If he treated people wrong it will come back just like you saying he’s a horrible person someone might say that about you. I had my own experience and he is nice and respectful. Saying someone is horrible person is not nice. That’s a huge stone to throw. Just saying.
How did you get meet and how do you know him?
You act like he making the shit up he actually met the fucking man. Maybe he should slap you around then you can continue about how great of a person he is.
One interview he will say nobody knew he was gay cause “you could t bring that to death row” then now back in the day devante knew if your sexuality at 15/16? Hmm then he said Suge didn’t know til later but I’m SURE someone told suge that ESPECIALLY if DANNY BOY was as CLOSE to him as he say! 🤔 sumn ain’t adding up
