Why would Lala cut her hair like that ? It looks nappy on that side and it makes her weave look that much more noticeable.

@ #8, I don’t know if she’s letting it grow out or what, but it looks like she needs a new trim. It looks real raggedy. I agree with you.

IDK why ppl always saying Solo needs to get a real job “I mean really”…. she is trying and it’s just not working…she doesn’t need to do anything if u think about, but raise her son… her family has hella money …theres $$$$$$ coming from everywhere .I think most ppl vwho make those comments are just haters because I would def. take care of my child 1ST ( which we don’t know what she does with her son) but I would PARTY TOO!!
BUT anyways lala is ugly to me and @ first I liked the haircut, but now it looks funny…maybe she needs a touch up or something (idk) what a weird combo of ppl!!

@76
Just because your ethnicity is Spanish doesn’t mean you can’t be black in Race…There are plenty of Black Dominicans, Brazilians, etc…Spanish/Latino is an ethnicity..not a race
Fact still remains that Lala is a Black Puerto Rican. And yes, her phenotype is very much denotative of her African roots (literally, just look at those coarse roots on her head).
And if a white person has nappy/kinky hair…then they probably have a black ancestor going back down the line…that is very common.

Ya’ll are so ignorant, Puerto Rican’s come in all diff shades! Lala is definately a BLACK puerto rican, but to say she doesnt look it because of her color, please go educate yourselves! And # 56 WTH does Puerto Rican hair look like, such a fool! I seen some coarse haired light skin Ricans in my life…

people need to learn the difference between race and ethnicity. lala is a black puerto rican. when did she not say she was black anyway? people are going hard at her on this board but i never remember hearing that from her. i remember the basketball thing with those ppl who threw stuff at her and she said it was b/c she was black. idk
anyway solo got that from topshop. she must love that store. she looks cute here

Oh dear, LaLa go get yourself a mentally stable hairdresser, Solange girl I think the only safe place for you is a padded cell, your sister needs some rest now, and Sol absolutely no one should be able to look at a camera like that. Estelle you need a surgeon up on you this instant! Your face look worse than a Bratz doll, its all pumped up like a basketball!

What The &*(%#%$^&*&(

all i am going to say is that people keep hating on solange but i cant. i liked lala’s hair cute, but i will excuse the way it looks for now because its a club and i konw how its get in the club (i am sure we all do lol). i love estelle her, her talent is phenom and i think her skin is so beautiful, i think she is beautiful. lala looks nice and looked like she had a good time. onto solange, i dont understand where all the hate was coming from. now lets think she grew up in a household that revolved around music and performing so i think that might be something she would always want to do since she was exposed to it at a young age. secondly, ok, she need to go to college and get a real job? what the hell are you people talking about, thats not something she wants to do and from what i see she already has a job which she works very hard at since i always see her performing or hosting something, plus she writes songs and all these different things i dont understand. and this ablout her being a real mother, let me say this blog is like one of the few times i have seen her actually partying and just because you go out doesnt make you a bad mother. shes single and still young so it wouldnt suprise me that she would go out every now and then. and brittany spears being a better mother, ok lets run down this list :
Brittany Spears- cut her hair completely bald
-she held her children hostage inside her own house
-we all know this child was super medicated
-for most of the time we always saw that child coming out of some club drunk looking super disgusting
-she was a super skeez and it all came out when she married that man kevin federline
now i dont think i have ever seen solange looking like that. if you can find something send me a link or something. and about her getting drunk and doing drugs and stuff, while i have never heard that come out of her mouth, if so, she cant admit to something like that? are you so perfect to where you can judge her? now me, i havent ever done any of those things because i was taught a lil better, i am not going to hold that against her. everyone has something that they’ve done that isnt exactly kosher ya dig. so get off her nuts and like katt williams said focus on your star player (thats yourself for those who dont know).

and there is nothing wrong with lala saying that she is puerto rican, you can get mad all you want but its pretty futile. now me i am black, yes of course, i got other stuff in my ancestory but for the most part if anyone asks me i am going to tell them i am black period because thats how my parents raised me. her parents raised her as a peurto rican child, period. both of them are hispanic so yes she is going to say i am purely hispanic. albeit we know that some puerto rican are closer to african roots, guess what they still consider themselves hispanic purely. i cant be angry and tell someone to claim something that they arent.

I AM SO SICK OF HEARING PEOPLE SAY “TRYING TO ACT BLACK” “USING BLACK PEOPLE TO GET AHEAD”
IT IS THE MOST IGNORANT THING TO SAY!!
WHAT THE F&%# IS “ACTING BLACK” ??? AND THIS IS USUALLY USED IN TERMS OF BEING GHETTO OR GANGSTA…WHY WOULD ANY BLACK PERSON WANT TO ASSOCIATE GHETTONESS & BEING GANGSTA WITH THE RACE?? I JUST DON’T GET IT
AND USING BLACK PPL TO GET AHEAD? WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU HAVE TO OFFER IN PARTICULAR… I DON’T MEAN THAT IN A RACIST WAY.. I MEAN WHY USE JUST BLACK PEOPLE IN GENERAL..IF I WERE TO USE ANYONE TO GET AHEAD AS A SINGER I WOULD USE A RECORD EXEC WHETHER HE WAS BLACK, BLUE, SPANISH, GREEN, ORANGE WHO EFFIN CARES?? WHAT MATTERS IS THE TITLE NOT THE RACE
IGNORANCE IS DEFINITELY KILLING THE YOUNG GENERATION SOFTLY, IT SICKENS ME WITH THE SHIT YOU GUYS SAY.
IF LALA SAID SHES’ P.RICAN THAN SHES EFFN P.RICAN!! WHO ARE ANY OF YOU TO KNOW..YA’LL ACT LIKE YOU WERE BORN & RAISED AT HER HIP TO KNOW THE TRUTH..WTF
SERIOUSLY PEOPLE SMARTEN UP AND GROW UP! THINK BEFORE YOU TALK AND EDUCATE YOURSELF! IM TALKING TO ALL RACES CUZ IGNORANCE IS COLORBLIND!
AND ANOTHER THING THAT KILLS ME IS WHEN PPL SAY “BE PROUD OF YOUR RACE” “LOOK AT HER HER HAIR, OF COURSE SHE’S BLACK”
REALLY?? SO WHY IS IT SO RARE FOR ME TO SEE A BLACK GIRL EMBRACING HER CULTURE AND WEARING HER HAIR NATURALLY?? WHY ALMOST EVERY YOUNG BLACK GIRL I SEE HAS A WIG OR IS WEARING ARTIFICIAL HAIR?? DON’T CONTRADICT YOURSELF..

TO “YA LYING”
THERE ARE MANNNNNY HISPANIC PEOPLE WHO RESEMBLE BLACK PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THEIR PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES (SKIN COLOR, HAIR TYPE, CHARACTERISTICS)
WHO EVER SAID WE HAD BEAUTIFUL HAIR?? PLZ LOL I WISH I WOULD’NT HAVE TO STRUGGLE FOR 2 HOURS EVERY WEEK STRAIGHTENING OUT MY CURLS
IM DOMINICAN AND VERY FAIR SKIN BUT MY YOUNGEST SISTER IS MUCH DARKER THAN ME
I KNOW SPANISH PEOPLE WHO ARE PALE WITH BLUE EYES AND VERY FINE HAIR LOOKING LIKE THEY’RE WHITE, BUT BUST OUT WITH THAT SPANISH…
SO PLZ STOP BEING SO IGNORANT, IF YOU HAVEN’T REALIZE EVERYONE HAS A BIT OF DIFFERENT ANCENSTRY..NOT ALL RACES HAVE STUCK TOGETHER…PPL MIX AND MINGLE HENCE THE REASON EVERYONE LOOKS DIFFERENT!
AND AS FOR LALA GETTING ANNOYED BY PPL CALLING HER BLACK, I UNDERSTAND HER…SHE DOESNT HAVE ANY AGAINST THE RACE OBVIOUSLY!! CUZ IF SHE DID SHE WOULD’NT BE MARRIED/ENGAGED TO CARMELO .IMAGINE YOU’RE BLACK AND SOMEONE KEPT CALLING YOU HISPANIC…YOU WOULD SAY “NO! I AM BLACK AND PROUD” SO WHY ENTERTAIN SOMETHING YOU’RE NOT??
CMON PPL!!!
