Raven Symone Pops Off On The Rumors+Lupe Fiasco Designs For Converse
Well it looks like little Miss Raven Symone is hot and pissy thanks to rumorville. She’s screaming–the all caps damn near blinded me trying to read this ish–on her official myspace blog about the recent rumors about her. And she shuts them down and talks about the rumors of her being engaged, her weight, being a lesbian, and not having any friends. Oh, but her boyfriend did cheat on her possibly causing her to overeat. Her words, not mine. Check it:
OK, IM SO OVER IT! REALLY AND TRUELY…. OK LETS NIP THE RUMERS IN THE BUDDDD…. RIGHT NOW…
1) THE CHEETAH GIRLS:
I AM NOT IN THE CHEETAH GIRLS!!!!! I WAS NEVER APART OF THE MUSIC GROUP… I AM NOT APART OF THE CHEETAH GIRLS FOR 1 REASON AND ONE REASON ALONE…..I DO NOT WANT TO CONFUSE MY SUPPORTERS IN THE TOURING ASPECT OF MY LIFE! OUR MUSIC IS DIFFERENT, AND I LIKE BEING A SOLO ARTIST. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ME AND THE GIRLS IS PURLY WORK. WE HAVE OUR OWN LIVES, AND I SUPPORT ANY WORK CHOICES THAT THEY WANT TO BE APART OF. AND YOU DONT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE BFF WITH SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE U WORK WITH THEM. THAT BEING SAID, GO CHEETAHS!GET THAT PAPER…2) RELATIONSHIPS:
I AM NOT NOW AND WAS NEVER ENGAGED, OR IN A LOVE TRIANGLE WITH ANYONE IN THE INDUSTRY. YES I HAVE DATED PLENTY OF PEOPLE, IM NOT A NEWT, HOWEVER, I NEVER TELL. THE RINGS THAT I WEAR ON MY “RING FINGERS” ARE A GIFT TO MYSELF WHEN THATS SO RAVEN HIT 400 MILLION VIEWERS. I THINK THAT IS WELL DESERVED. MEDIA TAKE OUT IS FUNNY, THEY GET THEIR INFO LIKE THE TELEPHONE GAME…. SOMEONE TELLS THE TRUTH, AND BY THE TIME THE STORY IS TOLD TO THEM, JUST THE NAMES HAVE STAYED THE SAME, BUT THE STORY IS MUCH JUICIER. AND NOT TRUE3) ME DATING A GIRL:
EVEN THO I ADORE MY GAY AND LESBIAN COMMUNITY!!!!!! I HANG AND CHILL WITH THEM, AND ADMIRE THEIR FIERCE-NESS. AND LEARN FROM THEM EVERYDAY. I HAVE THIS TO SAY… 1) ITS FALSE THAT IM DATING A GIRL RIGHT NOW. 2)RUDE TO QUESTION SOMETHING SO PERSONAL. WE ARE ALWAYS FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHTS FOR THE GAY AND LESBIAN COMMUNITY. ITS NOT A FAD FOR THEM, ITS NOT THE NEXT COOL BAG FOR THEM, ITS WHO THEY ARE, AND I THINK THAT FALSLY ACCUSING SOMEONE, WATERS DOWN THE IMPORTANCE OF ACTUALLY SAYING YES TO GAY WEDLOCK, AND OTHER RIGHTS FOR THAT MOST AMAZING COMMUNITY.4) MY BODY:
I WAS BORN WITH MESSED UP EYE BROWS, LOOK AT THE COSBY SHOW THEY GROW UPSIDE DOWN AND ON THE WRONG EYE. THAT IS MY PARENTS DOING AND MY BROTHER HAS THE SAME ONES. IM SORRY IF I WANT TO GO OUT ONE DAY AND NOT FILL THEM IN. IM SURE OTHER PEOPLE DONT GO OUT ALL THE TIME WITH THEIR FACE BEAT (MAKE-UP TERM, FLAWLESS MAKE UP). MY BODY SIZE; OOOHHH MY GOD!!!! HOW MANY YEARS HAS IT BEEN… IV BEEN ON TV FOR 21 YEARS, AND IV ALWAYS BEEN THICK…..OK!!!!
NOW IF ANYONE KNOWS MY FAMILY, ALL OF THE WOMEN EXCEPT FOR A FEW, STRUGGLE WITH KEEPING WHAT IS A SOCIALLY EXCEPT-ABLE WEIGHT. WHEN I STRESS I GAIN, WHEN IM HAPPY WHO KNOWS… I HAD A LOT OF PERSON THINGS HAPPEN TO ME AT THE END OF THE SHOW, DEALING WITH FAMILY, AND MY EX-BOYFRIEND CHEATED ON ME AND I HAD TO BREAK UP WITH HIM (LISTEN TO LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME, AND SECRETS) AND LIKE ANY FEMALE WITH A PROBLEM, DELT WITH IT A CERTAIN WAY! ID LOVE IF THE INDUSTRY COULD ONE DAY UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OBESITY AND FAT AND THICK AND THIN AND SICK. I AM A THICK GIRL, I HAVE NEVER BEEN OVER A SIZE 12, I CAN RUN, AND I TRY MY BEST TO EAT RIGHT ALL THE TIME. I AM NOT THE TEXT BOOK WEIGHT THAT THEY SAY I SHOULD BE, BUT EVERYDAY I HAVE MY OWN PERSONAL STRUGGLES, AND I THINK THAT PEOPLE NEED TO RESPECT THAT.ALL THAT BEING SAID. I HATE THE FACT THAT THIS DAY AND AGE, EVERYBODY THINKS THAT CELEBRITIES ARE FREE GAME, HUNTING SEASON IS ALWAYS OPEN FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE ON UR RADIO, OR TV OR BIG SCREEN. AND IT DOESNT HELP WHEN SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT WANT THAT, WONT SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP. WELL, PUT UR SLF IN THIER AND MY SHOES…. TAKE YOUR RIGHTS TO PRIVACY AWAY, AND LET THE WHOLE WORLD HAVE SOME KIND OF OPINION ABOUT YOU! THATS WHY I DONT TELL MY BIZZNASS, AND TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN MY PERSONAL BIZZNASS, IM NOT NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU THE PLEASURE OF ASKING ME ANYTHING PERSONAL, AND THEN PEOPLE WONDER WHY I HAVE NO FRIENDS…… AAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
Meow. I can’t help but love this chick though.
More about Raven and Lupe Fiasco when you read the rest…
Because she didn’t type enough on the blog, she posted a video to accompany the rant. She said because she her fingers hurt and she just got her nails done. Loves it.
Lupe Fiasco is designing a new shoe for Converse. He designed some Chuck Taylors for Project Red. Nice.
And in the Non-YBF news of the day, Madonna and her hubby of 8 years Guy Ritchie are officially dunzo. Maybe there was something to that Madonna/A-Rod story. Peep the story here.

On Oct 15, 2008 at 4:27 pm | Reply | QuoteStill can’t believe I was first. Raven was right on alot of points. America is too caught up with looks. We nit pick at any and every little thing on alot of celebs. Majority of the people on the blogs probably don’t have room to talk about no one. BUT they do because they are BEHIND a computer. I’ve always been a HUGE fan of Raven’s. I admire her for her talents, business ventures, and positive attitude. I remember when her show first premiered. I was in the 11th grade. I fell in love with it. It was something fun and different. Raven isn’t afraid to think outside the box. I’m glad she keeps her personal like to herself. Ex. boyfriends, family issues,and etc. People can down Raven all they want but she is steadily climbing that ladder of success and she is ONLY 22.

On Oct 15, 2008 at 4:38 pm | Reply | QuoteRaven, whatever! that is why you are adressing all these rumors…it is because you want the damn attention! the weight issue I can agree with to a certain degree. let’s face it, she is in an industry that looks upon appreance as important.. so since that is what you signed up for then expect to be talked about. I think she is getting a little to big, but if she likes it then that is all that matters. while it is important to embrace who you are and what you look like, let’s not forget that obesity in the African-American community is a problem, so it is not really responsible to tell people it is ok to be big if they are suffering from heatlh issues as a result of the obesity.

All they end up doing is exposing the educational limits their careers have placed upon them with all these ri-damn-diculous grammatical errors.

I believe that was the whole point of her post. She is not obese or un-healthy and because she is not a size 2 she is being treated like she is un-healthy and un-attractive neither of which is true. Being in the media give her an excellent opportunity to make a statement about size. If the beauty standard was not challenged Halle Berry would not be considered the “Sexiest woman alive” we wouldn’t have black miss america’s or people buying ass pads because now it’s popular to have a “donk” that not many years ago was considered unattractive by media outlets.
