Kisha's R &B Divas Recap

I'm not really sure how I feel about watching five has beens each week but I will say that even though neither of them had a top ten hit in years unlike the bubble pop that floods our radio stations currently, they ladies really can sing and are talented. It's only been the second episode so maybe my opinion will change.The show is set in Atlanta and we are given a up close look into all of their lives.

Faith Evans- We wondered what has she been up to and clearly nothing major just trying to reunite the ladies for a album.I am wondering where is her husband and her four kids and what does Biggie Jr. Look like these days. I do wonder does Redman hit that still?!?!? Yeah, I said it. #DontJudgeMe

Syleena Johnson- She has spunk but her finances could be better but she's trying to find a home to live in with her family while accepting the harsh reality that she once had a nice lifestyle but the reality is her family is just getting by.

Monifah- Kudos for overcoming a seven year drug addiction and being clean for two years. That is phenomenal so her storyline is one worth watching because we will see her piece back together her life sober and clean, and we also learn that Monifah is a lesbian and in a relationship.

Nicci- I heard it through the grapevine that she's a non muthafuckin factor! ( In my Evelyn Lozada voice) I am seriously trying to figure out her purpose. Ask me again next week *smile*

KeKe Wyatt- Well we all wanted to know what happened to her after stabbing her husband in the kitchen, well our curiosity was answered because she is now remarried and pregnant but also the mother of five other children. What else makes KeKe interesting is that she is VERY insecure from past emotional baggage that she goes nowhere, I repeat NOWHERE without her husband for the fear he will cheat on her as many others have done to her in the past. It will be truly interesting see her work through this in public on a reality show.

That's all folks...
Smooches ;-)
