"Would you agree MOST black entertainers have died tragically or broke?"
It's true about the absolutely biggest ones to date Whitney and Michael.
If we started listing the others we'd be here all day so could someone share the success stories?
DJ R-Tistic, you are in LA. Do you know a bunch of old retired black entertainers living the good life with their children prospering? I once went to a pool party in Ladera Heights and Ike Turner was there with a young white woman and a Versace Short Set. He seemed to be living good before his death.
Seeing someone like Vanity needing to do a gofundme for 50k is a bit heartbreaking (sadder she only raised 5k).
It seems a life time of hard living and no health insurance is starting to catch up with the first wave of young rap & R&B artist I grew up listening as they start to hit 50 & 60 years old. I bet we will be seeing alot more gofundmes for our favorite artists.
