In the latest issue of Essence Magazine, Angie Stone talks candidly about her past relationship with R&B / Soul singer D’Angelo. The two have a 10 year-old son together.
The criticism that D’Angelo and I received about our relationship only began once he became successful. What people didn’t realize was that before he became successful there was Angie Stone from the group Vertical Hold — a strong beautiful sister who dated somebody who had not even crossed the threshold of the industry yet. When I was dating him he wore glasses, had short hair and his pants were hanging down to his butt. He was just a 19-year-old kid with big shorts and nobody cared and no one saw his beauty but me. And I told him, “You are beautiful. I promise you when your record drops your lips are gonna become famous, your eyes—everything will become famous. But he couldn’t see it because his self-esteem wasn’t where it is today. He didn’t even have an image and his hair was really short so I braided his hair with thread for his first album cover. It wasn’t until Brown Sugar came out that people actually took a good look at him and said, “You know what? He’s fine.” Then all of a sudden, he’s so fine he shouldn’t be with me. [ READ MORE ]

He pleaded guilty to driving with a suspended license and driving under the influence. The Judge fined him $1,000, with $500 suspended, sentenced him to nine days in jail, all suspended, and revoked his license for 90 days on the suspended license charge.
CHRIS TUCKER: “I used to brush my teeth with Evian water and Figi water..”
Chris Tucker who is probably happy as hell Rush Hour 3 is the number 1 movie this week, recently sat down for an interview with Moviehole.net. Peep this quote:
…Y’know, I used to brush my teeth with Evian water and Figi water because I don’t want to use the sink water and I don’t do that anymore, because I have seen these things and going to Ethiopia, seeing a room full of infants, babies and some of them blind and most of ‘em was crying and I said, ‘What can I do? This problem is just to big.’ [ READ MORE ]

ANGIE LOOKS REALLY CUTE IN THAT PIC…..SHE HAS COME ALONG WAY.

I heard Monica was pregnant a few months back…ain’t that some shyt! I swear 07 is the year of the baby.
Damn Angie! That’s what’s up…alot of that is still going on in the industry today. When will people learn…looks aren’t everything…
Yay! Wow I’ve never been first! Congrats to Monica…….that’s what D’Angelo gets for coming down on the ones who helped him come up…..and glad that Chris Tucker is trying to do his part!
Lmao okay so I wasn’t first…maybe next time….I’m a newbie on here as far as leaving comments but I love this website! It’s my guilty pleasure! =)
Angie Stone looks great……D’Angelo looks like a criminal….Congrats to Monica.
What are you talking about Chris Tucker????????
Chris brushed his teeth with Fiji water? That’s some good stuff, he better drink that and brush his teeth at the tap like the rest of us! I’m glad he has a new perspective though.
Congrats to Monica.
D’angelo let a good one go. Angie looks fab in that pic.
WOW@ANGIE, GREAT COMEBACK, AND WTF HAPPENED TO DEANGELO, HE USED TO BE SO FINE, AND MONICA CONGRATS BUT GET MARRIED FIRST, WHY BUY THE COW WHEN U CAN HAVE THE MILK FOR FREE?…….
Angie Stone looking a lil’ Diff. =-} – D’angelo seems to be D’one LOL
Im in love with D’angelo.. damn come back to the music scene.. it already been 8 years!!! We need you..
And for those that don’t know there was a song that leaked a couple of months back.. from his new album James River.. called ‘Really Love’.. check it out..
Dont yall miss the days when D Angelo was running R&B.
Monica you should just stick to making babies, cause that last album stank more than my dookie.
Chris Tucker……………………I have no words for you brushing yo teeth with bottled water.

Chris, brushin ur teeth w/ bottled water? C’mon bruh, u can tell when blackie ain used to nothin
“You know what? He’s fine.” Then all of a sudden, he’s so fine he shouldn’t be with me.
______________________________________________
I TOTALLY FEEL YOU! SOMETIMES U CAN MEET A MAN, FIX HIM UP, AND HE CAN LOOK 10 TIMES BETTER THAN WHAT HE DID WHEN U FIRST MET HIM. THE RIGHT WOMAN DOES MAKE A MAN LOOK GOOD! JUST LOOK A BEE AND JAY. NO ONE WAS ON HIS NUTS THAT HARD, UNTIL SHE GOT WITH HIM. HELL, I’LL EVEN ADMIT I AINT START LOOKIN AT HIM UNTIL SHE DID, LOL, AND TO THOSE WHO WILL SAY MARRIAGE ISNT FOR EVERYBODY CAN STFU BECAUSE IF HE IS GOOD ENOUGH TO POP OUT SOME KIDS FOR, THEN HE SHOULD BE GOOD ENOUGH TO MARRY. THEY WILL ALREADY BE IN EACH OTHERS LIFE FOREVER ANYWAY. WOMEN NEED TO STOP SELLING THEMSELVES SO SHORT……
LOL…WTF is Chris talkin about
it’s a tough pill to swallow when the people you love and support get the big head after some minimal amount of success, so i commend Angie for being strong.
…but I can’t deny that after I read this post I pulled up “untitled (how does it feel)” on youtube…just so i could stare at D’Angelo’s beauty. I hope he gets his life together. I like his song with Common on Finding Forever, so maybe he can make a comeback.
I heard Chris talking about that when he was on 106 & Park. There’s nothing like a trip to Africa to change your perspective on the way you live your life and the things that you take for granted.
Congratulations to Monica. That’s so precious, now Lil Rock can have somebody to play with….
Chris was silly with the mineral water thing. I’m glad he realized how ridiculous that was. D’Angelo is a perfect example of how fame can fuck people up. SMH. Congrats to Monica.
Angie Stone is a trip…her stint on celebrity fit club put her in a different light to me…but i’m still a fan.
D’angelo looks silly in that pic….i wish he get it together and stop acting a damn fool. He has a child to take care of and one life to live….please stop fuckin it up, there are artists out that would kill for the opportunities that he has. D’angelo, anyone that does drugs has deep seated problems, and if you don’t have anyone in your life to discuss these problems with, please go see a therapist! Hell, though he was just a character, Tony Soprano was seeing a therapist. Now you go get one, and after you work that shit out…come on back bro…still got love for you, you know you that nigga…peace.
As for Monica, please take note from Toni B….keep on having kids and no “certified” hits means your career might be in jeopardy,. cause no label wants someone with divided obligations….most people settle in and had kids 1, WHEN THEY ARE MARRIED, and two, once their career is good and settled. I don’t kinow what numbers the last album did….but having kids right now seems wrong. Though you’re a grown ass woman and certainly entitled to do shit when you want to, i’m just saying, i know the label usually hates this and this is the kiss of death for any singer who is still pursuing their career. That’s why Janet J. hasn’t had kids yet and Beyonce too…..they know what’s up. Start having them kids when you ready to sit your ass down for good cause you don’t know how the label is going to response. Just sayin….
Wait a minute…… D’Angelo was 19! How old was she? You know what…… don’t even answer that. I love Angie and her music, that’s all that matters. Hey women can be pedophiles too ya know.
D’Angelo looks like he’s suffering from severe case of the Malik Yoba’s. Dem crackly lips ain’t nothin to joke about. I’m a need somebody to get me a jar of Vasoline and some Cocoa Butter STAT!
Why does Chris Tucker think we care bout what he brushes his teef with? And how many Rush Hours is he gone do? I mean how many Asian and a Black man go into a bar to buy a drink kinda jokes dis man gone do? Don’t get me wrong, the first time it was funny, dis time, not so much. I wanted my money back sitting at home and watching the previews. I guess Chris is willing to bafoon himself as long as there’s money to make and a Brett Ratner to be there to catch it all on film….. And you know this, man!
Oh sweet Jesus…. Monica and her man Rocko are at it again. Lil Rock’s about to have a lil sibling. How cute is dis? I can’t wait to see the Sears family portrait hanging on the wall with Lil Rock decked out in his white tee and Air Force Ones. I on’t care what nobody say, Lil Rock is bound to be the dopest dope boy in Pre-K. Ya heard!
Congrat to Monica
Anige Stone look beautiful
I understand why Chris Tucker use bottle water to brush his teeth. The water system in Ethiopia is NOT SAFE to drink or bathe.
Damn, Angie was a 32 messing with a 19 year old??? Dag. I’m 22 and messing with a 19 year old would be weird for me.
DIDN’T U HAVE A BABY OUT OF WEDLOCK?
YES I DO, AND U BETS BELIVE HER FATHER HAD A FAT AZZ ROCK ON THIS FINGER! AND JUST FOR THE SAKE OF MY DAUGHTER, I TRIED TO STAY, BUT HAD TO LEAVE BECAUSE I REALIZED AT THE LAST MINUTE I WASN’T READY. I LOVE MONICA TO DEATH! AND I CAN UNDERSTAND BABY NUMBER 1, TRUST ME I DO, BUT BABY #2, ESPECIALLY IF ITS BY DA SAME NI99A, GETS NO SYMPATHY FROM ME……WE HAVE GOT TO SET THE EXAMPLE LADIES AND MAKE DEZE MEN TREAT US LIKE WE DESERVE TO BE TREATED. I REFUSE TO BE A CUM BUCKET!
Oh yeah, and Monica,,,,,please stop having kids with a man that don’t think you’re MARRIAGE MATERIAL, just a down ass woman by his side that he can fuck when he like……obviously you are not the one for him because he would have been locked you down…..he doesn’t think you’re the one for him…however, he would like to have a fall back plan in case his career don’t work out…you’ll be the meal ticket with them kids. Please catch a clue boo! This shit is not cute, you keep having these kids, with no “promise of forever” with a wedding ring. Damn, hope he’s at least lying to your ass and saying he’s going to marry you, cause other than that, you’re just being foolish.
Hey Get Me Bodied,
you got good sense and you seem honest.
your picture is too cute btw-
Angie Stone is deep.
i saw her perform and she was so powerful.
the energy was real.
you can see it when you look at her.
very special and pretty lady.
Congrats to Monica-
she’s all grown up now with 2 kids!
i still remember when she sang “Just one of dem days!”
and now look at her- she all grown up.
LIFE AND GOD IS GOOD WHEN YOU BELIEVE AND HAVE LOVE IN YOUR HEART.
Oh and Sandra Rose got serious issues. I don’t even go to her blog anymore. She’s so Monica obsessed.
correction: GOD IS ALWAYS ALL GOOD!!!!!
whether you believe or not!
Angie upgraded D’Angelo and encouraged him and left that is crazy. I agree looks aren’t everything it bout how they treat u.
I also heard about Monica congrats to her. Chris whateva
wow on Angie, she had to know that she was with a child though. She was a grown woman(32) dating a young man/child(19). He got famous and started seeing himself in a different light. I admit that it was selfish and thoughtless. But you can’t get too down on him, he was only 19.
Chris T –not so materialistic anymore when you see how most people really live…it was a good awakening for him. BTW- saw RH3 last night it was funny.
Monica–just SMH. A marriage certificate isn’t for everyone but dang…
27. That’s so true. I must admit that I was like “daaaaaamn, D’Angelo got a baby by Angie Stone????” to but it’s true what she said.
A lot of these celebrities and athletes had these people that loved them and gave them their confidence before they blew up. I think Dwyane Wade and his wife are a prime example. Folks get perplexed when they see him and her together because she isn’t the typical trophy, white, asian, mixed looking, or light skin chicks these dudes go for when they blow up. But she was there before he was hot cause I’ve seen pics of Wade when he was younger and he wasn’t cute at all.
co-sign #14
Get me bodied I agree with you. Monica seemed like the type who wouldn’t stand for that.
Why the heck was Chris brushing his teeth with Evian water….what kind of mess is that, he is straight HOLLYWOOD now.
Awwwww Poor D’angelou.
19 and 32 DAMN Angie was babysitting!!!
ok im beyond late..but i didnt even know they were together let alone that they had a son together..WOWW!!!….
I agree 150% with Megan, Get_Me_Bodied and Jscene….ya’ll are on point with the comments about Monica and D’Angelo.
I don’t even have anything to say b.cuz ya’ll have hit all points and then some lol. Oh yeah, Get_Me_Bodied I know thats right…women are not put on earth just to be fycked or some man’s doormat!!!
First off…whoever asked what Monica’s The Makings of Me did in the stores so far….ummm….I just checked and to Billboard by way of Wikipedia it is only around 270,000 sold. Ouch.
On to my critique:
I find myself questioning a lot of things soul singers do nowadays. I think it’s that thing where you become too deep for yourself I believe and it makes you crazy…like Cee-Lo…
But Angie looks good I guess she went ahead and got back on the diet…or they photoshopped about two todlers worth of fat off her hips….who knows…
Chris….my mom met your crazy ass at a Hawks game in the A and you were a little crazy but I’m glad you have come to your senses…aint nothin like some bloated Ethiopian babies to humble your ass right up….
Monica….damn, damn, damn. I think she looks for dick and gets babies for some reason….I don’t know…always liked her “Before You Walk Out of My Life” was my shit still sing it…but I don’t know what to say. I suggest her getting with some songwriters and producers…Brian Michael Cox and oh say…..Polow and Missy should give you a nice mix…don’t worry he only goes for the whities…but you do like the thugs….hhmmmm….well I think you should go ahead and marinate on some material and get back with us in 08 ok…how does that sound? Alright talk at you later ok? Alright love you bye!
Congrats Monica!
Why is it so hard to believe D’Angelo had a baby with Angela she is a beautiful black women she better off without him anyway. Reminds me of the scene from Two can play that game when Bobby got his new teeth and saw himself in the mirror then started tripping. She looks great in the the photo new nose and all.
Chris that’s what’s up! I’m glad you took that superficial cob out of your a** and embraced reality
Angie is the realest b***h in the game, She can sing her ass off. I love her but I think she needs to stop talking about her relationship with D’angelo, it was a million years ago. That being said check out some new music from her on her myspace page and cop her new album The Art of Love & War on October 16th.

for the record.
D’angelo was never cute.
his body was.
They dated??? Once again, where the hell was I?
39.
I gotta disgree with you right there…lol. I’m the type of girl that likes the face before the body and D’Angelo is veery attractive. His mugshot up there even got me a lil hot. He’s a cutie. But I guess to each his own.
Get Me Bodied every man does not treat all women like slut buckets. Know that from a 22 year old male perspective a woman is not a slut nor should she treat herself like one. Men only treat women who treat themselves like slut buckets like slut buckets. And from your intellect and beauty I’m sure you aint going for that. Marriage is just a piece of paper. Women are so overjoyed by some fancy ring. Know that a marriage can last a day, soulmates last a life time.
Megan you are on point
Jscene marriage is not the key to everything. A lot of young people rush to get married because they are having a baby. Some men marry women sorry to say it because you dont have to worry about child support. Who is to say that Monica didnt want to marry him? That they decided that they didnt want to get married? How do we know that they arent engaged. Why do we always say that a companion of a celebrity is after money? If that is the case it would be a smart thing to marry her, just saying.
why are we so quick to judge how a couple looks and how one is too good for the other one based off of looks? usher & tameka, angie & D’angelo, jay-z & Beyonce
Angie Stone,hiI how are you, now go away.
D angelo, “how does it feel”?
Chris, He can afford to brush his teeth with Mineral Water. He probaly brushes with Vitaminwater for all we no.
Speaking of Chris, did anyone see rush hour and was it good?
Oh man folks up here trying to give advice…probably need to practice what you preach. Congradulations to Monica and Rocko on their new baby!
test
oh forgot about monica….No comment…lol
D ANGELO LOOKS A HOT FREAKIN MESS!! YUK!!
Chris is using that 25million to brush his teeth with mountain Ice. Give me a break.
Angie Stone, didnt know she was dating D angelo.
If monica wants to continue have kids without being married that is her problem. Most of hollywood does it anyway.
Why want some folks just say congrats to Monica and keep on trucking…aint nobody gotta worry about who monica fucking. she’s engaged and living with the man. She is a grown woman…she can do what the hell she’s please. The topic was “Monica Pregnant.” Keep it moving the baby aint got nothing to do with some folks talking bout! Best wishes to Monica!!!!
monica is ghetto fab!! all them tatoos on that bean pole body of hers
Yep and I got 8 tatoos…I guess I’m ghetto Fab too??? Aint neva lived in the ghetto a day in my life. Folks so funny!
Congratulations Monica, I love to hear about people expecting, Im sure if this one is a girl you will probaly have the baby dressed in Baby Phat with Burgendy Finger Waves and some glitter, wearing Bamboo earrings at least Two Pair!!
Black women continue to be statistics….it dont make any sense to continue to breed babies ,then when you are left to rasie the child alone you want to call homeboi all kind of deadbeats. you should have kept your fucking legs close. why would any of you cosign this pittiful shit …..aint nothing cute about having a bunch of bastards. i see why the world is so fucked up .
Marking up the body with Tattos is a sin, so no you arent ghetto u are a sinner
explain to me!!
what happened between angie and d? i mean what did he say about her that was bad? also what did she do on the vh1 show that made some ppl not like her?
i have to admit i was one of those girls who though d was too fine for angie but she came out looking like the better person and that’s good for her. i feel bad that i felt that way and i’m happy she’s in a better place in her life. HOWEVER after reading that interview, i’m not sure whether she’s truly is more confident or trying to overcompensate for a lack of confidence b/c she repeatedly talked about beauty and strength. it’s cool to mention it but she went on & on. maybe that’s just her style idk
AGREED 53!!
Then they wanna say “Thats just my baby daddy”!!!!
#51 yes you are ghetto . aint nothing sexy about a women with tatoos all over her arms …. it looks trashy as hell…at the age of 50 what will you look like …
Angie: Whatsoever a man shall sow, then shall he also reap. Do you girl, it’s w/e.
D’angelo: I agree. “How does it feel”?! Psh. Too bad brothas also trying to come back &it isn’t working…
Chris Tucker: That’s nice he cares, but what is him ceasing to use mineral water going to do for starving &dying people. Boring topic.
Monica: ::Yawns::
I bet you a sinner too…..aint nobody perfect! to do better…shawty she can take care of hers..dont be comparing your problems to other females. you shouldve left you legs close. HAHA
Imma look like me..It my body and I dont have tats on my arms. Girl bye! I aint no near trashy I keep it proper you probably one of those trailer park trash hoes that comes cut my grass for 15 dollars!
