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 ]
See now Karma does work because he has been going downhill ever since her dissed her. Check the story after the cut..
D’ANGELO PLEADS GUILTY
Grammy award-winning R&B singer D’Angelo was fined and received suspended jail sentences Friday on charges stemming from a 2005 single-vehicle accident.
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 ]
CONFIRMED: MONICA IS PREGNANT

I gotta give it to Angie Stone that’s a nice weave, however hair don’t make a person pretty, she’s ugly a lips take up half her face, her nose looks as if it is throwing a sign. She’s overweight, and she is just plain ugly. I don’t care how much weave she glues to her scalp.
DAMN #121 you cold hearted as a mofo.
Anyway Angie looks really nice in these pics.
D….no comment.
Chris…..no comment
Congrats to Monica.
Hey!!! Get off Monica’s Bean Pole Body! Not Everyone likes THICK! This one is for the Sexy Slims!
Monica can use me to wrap those Long Ass Bean Pole Legs around anyday! After some of that good Sexy Slim loving, Hell, I ‘ll take care of her and hers! lol
@114 I totally agree .
@ 103
“I find it amusing how many people (especially women) expect so much responsibility and control out of women and hold black men damn near blameless.”
I completely agree. Men are just as much to blame for all of these broken homes and out of wedlock births as women are. If you think they are crazy or irresponsible, don’t have sex with them! If they are not the kind of person you could be in a long term relationship with or want to be a parent to your future children, don’t have sex with them! Or if you must have sex then at least use a condom! Its that simple, both sexes need to be more discriminating about who they reproduce with!
As for Angie Stone and D’Angelo. I’ve always thought Angie was pretty, talented, and a sharp dresser. I think a lot of people put her looks down cause she heavy but she has always had a pretty face and nice complexion.
At the same time she was too old to be messing with him when he was 19 and she was 32. 13 years isn’t that bad once both people are past 40 but in your teens or 20s that is a huge difference in maturity.
^^^^^that’s so true^^^^^
Shallow ass people. There aint a damn thing ugly about Angie Stone. What makes her ugly. Her lips, what you want her to have? Lips that look like it has been sliced into her face. What’s wrong with her nose? please cut the sh*t. I know everybody is suppose to be entitled to their “OPINION” but please. I hate when stupid people try to give their damn “OPINIONS”. Never have anything good to say. Angie girl, you look good. Still trying to figure out how old you are. But baby, D’Angelo was just a little boy trying to mature into a man, you cant expect him to be already for that grown loving, commitment and stuff. Still he shouldnt have dissed you the way he did.
Now look at him, looking like a pile of deep hot sh*t. Girl you better off without his ass.
Love,Peace,&&Honeyy
Women are the ones left to take care of the children most of the time ,when a relationship fails. so all you you happy go lucky ass women on here saying “congrats monica” If their relationship dont work out , I hope you wont be on here screaming profane names at Rocko , cause half of you were on here saying “monica can hold her own and dont need to be married” . yes it is the womens responsibilty as well as the mans but its her body she ultimately decides who or what goes in it . if she wants to keep breeding babies fine , just dont cry about it later as if you had know fault in this . it amaze me how just because people dont marry to often nowadays some of you think its ok.
Angie is looking beautiful these days . I knew about her and D .
Congrats to Monica . Regardless of her circumstances children are blessings. I honestly hope she get married in the near future though.
I FIND IT QUITE DISTURBING THAT A 32 YR OLD WOULD DATE A 19 YR OLD. ANGIE, YOU NEED TO BE EVALUATED. ALSO, HOW DOES THIS UGLY CHICK GET THE FINEST MEN…HER P*SSY MUST BE LIKE, “WHOA.”
We need the old D’Angelo to come back the one in the Voo Doo Video.
Angie Stone do u.
Angie & D’Angelo: Last I heard D’Angelo was trying to get himself “straight” after being on drugs for x amount of years (looking at those pics, it looks like he is still doing something…lets all be honest here—lol). Thats the way it goes with most of the celebrity men, they seem to FORGET about the “girls next door” & the ones that helped them get on their feet & even make it in the industry. half of them dump their “regular-round the way” girl friends, once they make it big (pro athletes included). Because once they become famous, & can get “females” that likely would not give them the time of day (prior to fame)…they just forget all about, the females back in their home towns.
But look at D’Angelo now drugs…& alcohol abuser, suspended liscence…NOBODY wants him now. lol! thats that KARMA baby…bites you in the butt every time.
Chris Tucker: & I guess Chris now realizes that the United States tap water is Evian & Fiji compared to some of those 3rd world countries he has visited. Good 4 him & his eye opening experience. This dude deserves a pat on the back.
Monica: Well now, baby #2. She waists no time huh? I just had my second child & my kids are 9 whole years apart (almost a decade apart). Hopefully, her & the “baby daddy” will exchange those vows before a 3rd baby comes into play. Good Luck to her either way. As long as she & him can afford it. Good 4 them!
jscene we can go back and forth about the bible, God says to do a lot, I BELIEVE marriage before kids too, sorry if you thought I was trying to debate with you..
”we wouldn’t have as many problems in our lives as we sometimes bring on ourselves by doing things our way instead of doing things God’s way”’.
So very true but we are all sinners, god also says for a man to have one wife and a woman to have one husband, and given today sins have overpowered so many of us that we are not always conscious of our sinnings.
You didnt say marriage was the key to everything, but who is to say that he isnt committed to her? where do you get your sources from?
NOt EVERY man thinks that a woman is not worth the commitment of marriage, and honestly yeah not every woman IS worth the commitment of mariage vice versa, that was mainly the point that I was trying to establish. That’s why I also posted somewhere up in the post that a marriage can last a day and soulmates last a lifetime. Maybe I m jumping the gun but why does so many women assume that the guy is the one that always leaves the woman. . ”he’s the dog” , or if she left him “He musta not have be any good because he isnt in a rush to marry her.”
How do we know that he tried and she said NO?
In any sense,
angie is pretty, but its not kool what she’s doing. Yeah she might be hurt ,but a women or men should not be putting out a parent like that. it aint hurtin his ass its hurting the child. and damn ma he was a child wtf u think would. you sound like a baby let the shit go!
Angie looks really pretty but i knw thats with the help of a bit photoshop.
I cosign with #53 and #114. I understand that Monica’s grown and can do what she wants but she needs to stop having babies with this man if he isn’t going to marry her. It’s pathetic how some black people glorify being baby mama’s and baby daddie’s. When a woman is a baby momma all it really means is that the man doesn’t respect you enough to marry you.You’re just someone he can run up in without a condom.
LMAO @ 131, u know u wrong 4 that one.
Congrats to Monica a.k.a the new Kim Porter if she aint careful. Angie looks great in that pic. I hope she just pressed her hair out, cuz her natural hair was beautiful. D’Angelo fucked up getting rid of her, now look at him. Glad to see Chris is appreciating what he has, to bad that he had to see other suffer to realize.
Angie talkin’ that changed a man bullshit that always bite ya’ll in the ass . What she ain’t elaborate on most people who couldn’t see ya’ll together was other females …who wanted your spot !
Angie didn’t marry D’Angelo and her and her son are doing just damn fine! Holla!
lmao @ how Angie upgraded and D’Angelo became a HoT MeSS…
sucks that that’s how relationships go… anyway, Monica needs to start acting on some wedding plans or using rubbers!
I’m just not buying it, the whole business about marriage being obsolete…blah blah blah. People who oppose marriage are either agnostic (which doesn’t warrant elaboration) or capitalistic (protecting that money). Marriage is not the romantic, hyperbolic, irrational thing, NOT believing in marriage is. It’s as ordinary as wanting to see your partner everyday, as ordinary as wanting to know his schedule, it’s commitment. Opposing marriage is no great ideological stand, it is not a rejection of some antiquated and empty institution, but merely a refusal to commit. You don’t want to extend yourself.
i’m looking at all of these immature comments about monica and marriage. i think you guys fail to realize that marriage doesn’t change anything but your last name at least now a days. monica is engaged to her children’s father. this day and age has changed drastically marriages aren’t what they used to be. so what if they have a million children. who’s to say that they get married and it still doesn’t work out. it’s just crazy marriage doesn’t make a relationship. from what i can see monica supports her man and vice versa. at least he’s sticking around and taking care of his responsibilites. they could be already married but none of us will ever know until she comes out about it and who are we to judge anyone take a step back and look at your own life before you try to judge someone else. their is a lot of finger pointing but put the finger on yourself. live your life the way you want and stop trying to tell other people how to live theirs for real. i don’t care what kind of comments you have from this cause i live my life and i take care of mine and none of yall don’t pay my bills or feed my lovely children.
oops made a mistake on “there is a lot of finger pointing but put the finger on yourself. live your life the way you want and stop trying to tell other people how to live theirs for real” but seriously that’s her life and no one can judge her but god. i’m for marriage but shoot that’s like taking a big risk now a days it’s just not the same. there’s a lot of cheating, down low, and people leading double lives. everything is a risk but that’s life you live and you learn right???
hEY mOOKEIS i AGREE WITH YOU FUCK YOU HATERS, MONICA BEEN WITH HER MAN FOR YEARS IF SHE WANTS TO START A FAMILY WITHOUT A RING AON HER FINGER THATS HER BUISNESS PLUS SHE IS ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED STOP HATING AND SIT YOUR SASSAS DOWN. SHE IS HAPPY, HER MAN DON’T HAVE KIDS RUNNING ALL AROUND THE PLACE.
PLUS HOW MANY PEOPLE ON HERE ARE USING RUBBERS AND BEHAVING RESPONSIBLE IN THEIR LIVES? YOU PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE A STEP BACK, I DON’T HEAR WHITE AMERICA JUDGING SUSAN SARANDON AND JOILE AND COMPANY, GET OFF THE GIRLS DICK AND BE HAPPY FOR HER AND HER FAMILY, THEY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL SON WHICH THEY TAKE CARE OF TOGETHER AND THIS CHILD WILL BE JUST AS BEAUTIFUL SO BE HAPPY FOR THEM.
Even though Monica and her pregnancy was originally the issue, I could care less about her vagina… my comments were in response to a much more interesting topic, marriage. As for Monica, if I were to discuss her, I would talk about what some think should be top priority on her “TO DO list”…her attitude, I’ve heard, sucks. I heard she and her entourage are so rude. I heard this a few years ago, someone said they go in and out of Atlanta restaurants with the most stank, you-better-not-approach me attitude and that they give waitresses a hard time and never tip.
Lula Pear I never said that i was opposed to marriage
^^I don’t know that I thought you did… I just scan comments and reply… it was mentioned somewhere and that’s just my take on the issue.
@ 148 It is what you heard you don’t know for sure, she is one of the most intellegent and likable celebrities out there so keep hating on Monica, she will be fine, go get a life. And as you said it was years ago maybe Miss Tahng grew up and knows better.
^^^^
Are you serious??? I should get a life??? Did you not get that I clearly stated it was something that I had heard?? lol And, yes she might have changed. If YOU think she’s changed, that’s all that matters, really…lol…disregard my comments lol. I also heard (just to bother you lol) that she would come to a community rec center to watch her then boyfriend C Murder play basketball and stand with her back against the wall and her nose turned up in the air.
Get a life you made a statement as if you know that it is true, Monica is the most accomodating celebrity their is. I love Monica and people need to stop hating she is happy and we need to just let her live her life.
