Ugh….I’m so hating right now because I’m not home this weekend….
Damn, Atlanta is full of has beens,BET Awards give me a freakin break.
Has beens or not, they get to go to televised events and get special treatment and we don’t, so I ain’t mad at em. I am mad, however, at Da Brat’s green ass hat that ain’t matching shit she got on…I’m also mad at her overall gear AND that lipstick. Is she a dyke or a fish? Such a confused "woman"
