  16. New Website “HelloGhetto.com” ..come thru

    @hannibal

    u better shut the f&ck up with that ignorant statement of urs!!!! that african chic will buy u and ur kuntakinte slave ancestors u stupid n*gger piece of shit!!!

    ps: why don’t u go worry about why 70% of black women are single or babymamas and go watch black in america AGAIN u stupid cunt!!!!

  18. Hannibal

    @HOMEGIRL AND THE REAL DRE

    LMAO

  19. Crazy4Idris

    LMAO @ The Real Dre. Tell him again! with his ignorant ass.

  20. kobe fan

    lets be real alek wek isn’t pretty….she looks like a 10 year old african boy

  21. playboy

    @hannibal and kobe fan

    u people are so dumb and ignorant!! and u wonder why every other race hate us!!! i bet alek is more prettier than ur dumb asses!!

  22. monnatheprinces

    why are we taking away from why they ad this concet…i bet none y’all prolly think they were just having a regular concert……don’t let people like hannibal make u respond cos that was his and her goal….yup i said….people like that, u ignore…

    so back to why i am here again…they are trying to set up an idea where they are trying to fight the media to stop portraying as a bad place infested with only aids, uneducated people, poor people and all that negative mess that’s been used to keep people away from this beautiful place…africa is beautiful..i should know cos i have been there numerous times, but my place of choice would be kenya…..the most beautiful place i have ever been to…great mixture of cultures,great food and yes they have mcdonalds,kfc and all that we have here so if ur behind ain’t kool enough the locals food then u can kill ur self slowly with fast food, which i am sure yoyu could have done here in america like u have been doin’ since u were young….stay off the fast food people…no wonder america is viewed as the most obese country….fat fat fat…not good..even i have made changes in what i eat….

    But on a positive note, i think what jay and them are trying to do is good,i like to see more rappers get more involved in africa…black people need to try and trace their roots to find out what african country did they originate from…..i already know mine cos ma daddy told me……lol….that’s why i have been more and more interested in africa….

    was scrared when i got on that plane,but when i landed and saw all the blue and white sea waters,the beaches, the cities are magnificent….and the ladies are muaaaaaaaaaahhhh…well i already have me an african girl..they are beautiful……

    just get educated people….and support change..it’s good for us…i know it’s good for me…i can’t tell you what to feel…AND WITH THAT SAID, YES WE CAN…SI SIPUEDE…TUNAWEZA…yup that’s swahili for yes we can…y’all better recognize….lol

  23. Hannibal

    ALEX WEK LOOKS LIKE AKON, ONLY WITH A BIG FOREHEAD!

  24. Capt. Redneck

    If all black whores look liked Alek Wek, the birth rate amongst n!ggers would drop, but on the otherhand, that means that more n!ggers would be chasing after white women. Nevermind, back to the drawing board to solve this country’s out of control n!gger birthrate explosion.

  25. hannibal is seeking attention

    @hannibal

    i think u and ur crack head mother should use ur welfare check and expore the world!! got to africa and u will see there are ALOT of beautiful women!! u african cunt!!! and i am white so what!!!

  26. hannibal is seeking attention

    sorry to say but there are tons of african american wh&res who even look worse than alek with or without make-up!! true talk

  27. Truly

    Tigg, you’re right about her getting dropped by EL. At a recent press conference, all the EL models showed up–Gwyneth Paltrow, Carolyn M,Liz Hurley and model Hilary Rhoda, but Liya was NOT there. I haven’t seen her work for Estee Lauder in a good, long while. ummm

  28. Hannibal

    DID U JUST SAY THERE ARE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN IN AFRICA?! WHAT AFRICA ARE U TALKIN ABOUT?! BESIDES, IM NOT GONNA GET MAD AT U BECUZ YOU ARE WHITE AND U OWN THE WORLD, I APPLAUD U!

  29. hannibal is seeking attention

    i am glad to know that i own u, little b7tch!! and i wish ur kind will get that to their dumb n&gger head!!!!

  30. Hannibal

    I ABSOLUETLY AGREE WITH U! THESE DUMB NlGGERS OVER HERE DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH WHITES HAVE DONE FOR THIS WORLD! I WOULD TRAVEL TO SOUTH AFRICA BUT I DON’T WANT TO GET AIDS FROM THOSE DARK BUTTS!

  31. Anonymiss

    @hannibal is seeking attention

    Where in South Africa are women supposedly prettier than African American women?? What is your UGLY ass referring to? you stank poor uneducated 3rd world white dog bitch!!

    You told Hannibal “i am glad to know that i own u, little b7tch!! and i wish ur kind will get that to their dumb n&gger head”

  38. hannibal is seeking attention

    Hannibal stay your sweaty greasy nappy haired funky black ass in the states where you belong! The last thing we need is to add your DARK BUTT to confusion we already dealing with over here.

  39. hannibal is seeking attention

    BTW hannibal maybe you didn’t get the memo {or your too dumb to know how to read} YOU are a monkey too! Don’t exclude yourself from the Afro-American mix scum gorilla

  40. hannibal is seeking attention

    I love to saddle on top of apes they make me feel like a woman. No nice white men want me because I have AIDS lesions all over my body.

    I think i got AIDS from making love to animals all of my white female cohorts make love to donkeys dogs but we especially love the gorillas. If you didn’t know they are hung like black men!!! Come to think of it their facial features and their scent is much like black men too! Black men really are gorillas

  41. hannibal is seeking attention

    actually black people stink like sh*t!! yall do not use cologne!!!LOLLLLL

  42. hannibal is seeking attention

    Im just a frustrated scar faced red headed ugly wide load flat butt saggy tit having white whore who is soo jealous of the beautiful brown skin high cheek boned firm breasts and melanin rich black woman.

    I know deep in my heart I could never measure up to an African American female so I live on Bossip creating cyber wars in hopes of gaining some attention from someone.

    I am soo lonely ever since my daddy ran off with a beautiful black woman when i was 9 I had to stay behind with my white mother who does nothing all day but masturbate with cucumbers. My mom was the one who taught me how to rub the family pet up against my vajayjay in just the right way to feel good down there.

    Now Im into screwing the gorillas that live in my backyard. No not black men but the real life gorillas!!

  43. InfinitOne

    I was at this event. First, it started about 40 mins late due to sound problems. There were 2 designers (African….and beautiful) and Chris Aires, also dubbed “The Iceman” due to the role he plays in the diamond jewelry game.

    The shows were very tastefully done and the models were beautiful. All you ladies really need to start checking for the new African fashion because it is hot!

    After the three fasion shows, John Legend performed. I thought he would only perform 2 or three song since I paid $45 for my ticket. Boy was I wrong…can you say full hour of music! He performed all of his singles and introduced a new song from his new album called “Good Morning”. It had the women gone and the fellas left saying “That’s deep.” All I can say is that dude can sing!

    After a 20 minute delay (setup for Jay), Hova came to the stage with the energy of an atom bomb…Kaboom!…American Dreamin is the first song, then Rock Boy, all the classics to follow! An hour full of crazy fans reciting ever lyric. It was awesome!

    I have to say it $90 (took a date) well spent. I can’t believe people spent more to get into Club Love to see only Jay-Z!

    The only reason people leave racist comments is to get attention. The best thing to do is not reply.

  44. hannibal is seeking attention

    I take that bakc white women stink like shit because we like to lick our fingers after taking dumps in the toilet.

    We whites are really nasty stinky bunch!!

  45. hannibal is seeking attention

    InfinitOne - I can’t help being racist my life is so miserable I have to take my frustration out on someone

  46. hannibal is seeking attention

    black people = APES

  47. Real Black dude

    Hannibal and Captain Redneck need their ass kicked!!

  48. hannibal is seeking attention

    AFRICAN AMERICAN = CHILD SUPPORT AND WELFARE CHECKS!!!LOL

  49. hannibal is seeking attention

    @FAKE BLOGGER USING MY NAME

    WERE ART THOU


  50. Is that the only shirt Jay-Z has to perform in?? LMAO… I think this is the third time I am seeing him perform in that shirt!!

  51. Not again

    Hannibal is that’s Dog the bounty hunter’s son? the chip don’t fall far from the tree…It was so good to see Liya again. I have seen her since she was expecting her 2nd on Oprah, another bad black woman. Laters!

  52. kobe fan

    @playboy man stfu….quit catching feelings. yall diss every other celeb. alek wek isn’t special she ain’t above getting dissed

  53. IGNORE HANNIBAL PEOPLE!

    WHY THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS RESPONDING TO HIS/HER OR ITS COMMENTS ANYWAY PLEASE THATS WHAT HE/SHE OR IT WANTS HE,SHE OR IT IS TIRED OF PLAYING WITH ITSELF.

    ENOUGH SAID!

  54. the real dre(her name is tamea)wowww

  55. Terri

    Doesn’t she know you should never pop zits. They leave marks if you do that!

  56. Little Wing

    Stop responding to trolls. And there are waaaaay better looking African girls than Alek. That chick is ugly (and NOT what the vast majority of African women look like - remember, it was whites who decided she should be a model not Africans).


  57. what is this triangle sign j.z and denzel washington promoting?

  58. kobe fan

    it’s my opinion…the chick looks like a little boy….there is nothing sexually appealing about her and her ashy-ass feet. you don’t like it…tough.

  59. Just Sayin

    Why dat model in the last thumb got a head smaller den a dam M&M?

    :-)

  60. Dame

    I loves Jay I wish I was there

  61. sweet_lies

    liya’s dress is so bangin!

  62. Coco

    Thanks InfiniOne :) I cannot wait for the London stint of the Africa Rising Festival, should reach us here at the Royal Albert Hall on 14 October.

    Re: peoples comments about Alek Wek: to me she is more interesting than beautiful, she was plucked from obscurity because someone else thought so too, so no one needs to be sore about it.

    Stop the black on black hate…if you want to know more about Africa and African fashion esp Nigerian fashion check out http://www.bellanaija.com a great blog full of positivity and great pictures.

    Also http://www.deolasagoedesign.com, hot hot Nigerian designer akin to Lacroix! and http://www.ellabrown.com - a Nigerian lady based in the US doing great things x

  63. Coco

    sorry that was bellanaija.blogspot.com

  64. Nigerian

    I have to agree with Infinitone..I was at the show it was Totally AMAZIng..some of the models in the show were Tyson BEckford.Alek WEk..One of Africas top supermodel.She represents something way deeper than the color of her skin..u need to read her book to understand her history and her story before you make judgements on her..what ever happened to the fact that we are wonderfully made..Liya Kebede..CAron Butler..yes the NBA player..Oluchi..Nigerias biggest supermodel..she is a Victoria Secret model as well…then a lot of models from the show who wants to be a supermodel..the only name i remember is Jackies..she did her thing..John Legend was sooooo great..an hour plus and he had the whole crowd energetic and going…Jay-Z was phenonemal..Words can not describe it..I was in the very first row and even today thinking about it..just brings back the adrenaline rush..he is just awesome…I am so excited with this project that is going on called AFrica Rising..trying to bring out the best in Africa and show people around the world..Africa is a beautiful place..ne one who has the opportunity to go there please visit..dont be fooled by what you hear on tv..or the media..it is an amazing place..It is not all about AIds and Poverty..just thought to throw that out there as well.

  65. Lovely One

    Liya has ALWAYS been a beauty :-)


  66. ARE u looking for a classy, attractive woman with a good sense of humor here I am. i am a tender girll in uniform. I believe on old fashion morals and values. I like to treat everyone with respect. I am looking for a honest,attractive man, with good sense of humor. check out __Militarysoulmate.c om_ get me!

  67. Loving Haters

    LOL….it’s amazing how people entertain the wrong things. To Hannibal, Capt. Redneck and everyone else who had something negative to say about black people. It’s ok we know you LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT US SO MUCH that you hate us. It’s that I’m so mad I’m not you so I’ll hate on you type shyt. It’s ok I understand if I wasn’t black I would be mad as hell and hating too!!

  68. GRACEFUL

    The Concert was GREAT. See I came late which was perfect. The fashion show was amazing. I loved MOMO, she was a featured designer from Nigeria. John Legend can sing his ass off. Go google his new song Good Morning, or look it up on youtube. It will be worth your while.

    The venue was intimate, so Jay Z was in my face.. yeah I paid $200 for tix, but my co-workers paid $400 for orchestra seats. Jay Z performed every song I wanted to hear except Party Life. :( I saw him at Verizon Center w/ Mary J, and I enjoyed him so much more at the Kennedy Center. He could see every single face in the Theatre, that was soo cool. Even more amazing J gave shot-outs to several people who knew all the words and partied with him all night. (including me and my girl friends! :) I will post picts of the show on my myspace page. And now I know why Bey is so in love.. he looks GREAT!! (camel and all!) :)

  69. cocoa

    jjj good point, question i understand that “supposedly”this camel is a half a billionaire so why the hell does he wear the same outfits just cause he’s performing the same tired songs.come on..how expensive can a variety of t-shirts be and forget about the jeans.he’s been all through england, his native middle east and now africa with the same clothes.fuck if they dry cleaned how do i know that they are. i mean he can afford it right. he’s the lamest camel ever.

  70. Jay

    Alek Wek is beautiful and the woman of Africa are beautiful. Just go over there and see the many rich beautiful (pimple less and no blotchy) skins tones and physical postures. Africans sees beauty as natural, Americans see it as fake.


  71. Look there r good lookn’ and ugly ass people n all races so all yall talkn that smack just shut da f@ck up
