Recently, Beyonce gave an interview where she discussed Lauryn Hill. Many internet sites are running with her comments and saying that she dissed L-Boogie. Read the comments and judge for yourself:

“[Lauryn Hill's] story is the most tragic. I mean, her record was genius. But drama and demands and the pressure and all of the people giving you so much access to so many things can be too much.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen to me but I know I’m more than a singer and I have so many other things in my life to keep me focused. I hope and pray that I stay as comfortable in my own skin as I am right now.”

-> RJohnson, I’m confused…what did Lauryn do? I thought she just mostly kinda went nuts. What am I missing, ’cause I obviously missed the part where she did something that speaks highly of her character.

I think having to deal with your dad screwing the careers of your childhood friends, flirting with and probably messing with your tour dancers, and going on a cayenne pepper and water diet are enuff. Perhaps now she just needs to have Jay-Z cheat on her with a cousin and the hysteria will be complete. (no, she would have to have an affair with someone in her group….hmmm, now THAT may be interesting)

obviously you give a shit if you even took the time to respond. perhaps you should close your eyes next time, or maybe you could donate your shit to someone else who also gives shit away.

…i too have a great respect for Lauryn and i would like to add that Lauryn has the talent and articulation to put beyonce in her place but she is a bigger women than that, shes on a much higher level than beyonce can ever hope to climb. And i suspect that she is living her life in Africa wid her family and aint got time to send over petty little remarks to belittle bees credibility, she done and been doing that all by her self!

I wish people, even people who dig Lauryn, could speak about her with a little more compassion and a little less detachment, stop calling her “nuts” and gutless shit like that…I read all kind of stupid shit out there on the net. People sure know how to talk talk talk about Lauryn Hill. That’s your sister, yo, have some respect. Your sister had some clinical imbalances, how would you feel if everybody started talking all kinds of crap about her, even in her defense? You’d be pissed, right? Sista’s been sharing her soul & vulnerability with the world and laying herself bare– That’s a big sacrifice… No amount of fame or success can give you back the parts that people take. She reclaims herself the best she can and raises her kids. Show Lauryn how much you love her: Thank her for all she’s given you and give her the room to be who she is. Stop talkin so much stupid mess about her, one way or the other & help her feel welcome to make more music if she feels it. We’ll be heaven-blessed if she sings another note.

I don’t think Beyonce was dissing Lauryn, she was just stating that there are so many variables that can affect a successful singer (performer). One never knows what the future may hold, Beyonce realizes this by saying “I hope and pray that I stay as comfortable in my own skin as I am right now.” B is pretty much stating that being in the spotlight can expose anyone to vulnerability.

Honestly beyonce you look like a dog, with make up. God has blessed you with a voice, but you still are annoying. Your music is terrible. The only reason you have been nominated for 10 is because you’re the only female artist out with a bit of longevity because of your stans/fans please go away, forever. You illuminati whore, Jay-z is cheating on you, you will not be missed if you were to leave the music industry atleast then poor HORSES and peoples hair wouldn’t need to be CHOPPED OFF to fit your heads diameter so you can wear your darn wig.

Lauryn hill is better than you.
