This is to all of the people that obvious can’t comprehend, Nia’s career as an actress has been great. Nia has been doing movies, soaps, etc for an extremely long time, her point was valid, she didn’t say anything wrong and she didn’t point the finger, however you all assumed that she was belittling Beyonce. Nia stated that she never saw the movie, however I did and the co-star shined in the movie Beyonce is not a great or good actress, she’s a hell of a performer and a singer but an actress she’s not, and for (ykesha2001), if obsessed had addition for the leading role and John Singleton was the producer Beyonce wouldn’t have even made the list of actors or singers for that particular role. Being that her father produced the movie she practical owned the movie as well as Cadillac Records that’s why she got the part not because of her skills sweet heart. Ashanti is not a good singer hopefully she will be better on broadway; and a stage play is totally different from acting because being a singer a stage play or broadway is in a singers lane education is key utilize it. As Yolonda stated Nia’s talent is very under rated as well as the actress that can get a role and own it such as Angela Bassett, Sanaa Lathan, Gabriel Union, Queen Latifah, Halle Berry, Thandie Newton whom all of these women are the top ten black female actresses.

Some of the people on this blog are sooo out of order and need to take their heads out of Beyonce’s A**. First of Nia was speaking generally and if anyone thinks that Nia was talking about Beyonce then that’s really on you and she does have a right to voice her opinion…

Nia is on point. Beyonce is a great singer – sing damnit, just sing and dance!

Cheryl and others…I think you’re missing what Nia is saying. She’s not saying that singers/rappers/athletes/etc. shouldn’t act. She’s saying that if you’re going to act, then perfect your craft otherwise stick to what you’re known for doing. While I do like to see Beyonce perform (singing), she’s not a great actress, although she has gotten better with her acting. I haven’t seen “Obsessed”, but I did see “Cadillac Records”. She did a much better job in that movie than “Dreamgirls”. As for the Ice Cube comment…he does well in the roles he’s chosen for himself. Do I want to see Shaq in another movie…no…but that’s just me.

Miss Nia Long did not state the truth, what she did was just put more focus on her not going so good career. Boo boo, this is not the way to get people to call you for auditions, I’m just saying. Beyonce may not be the greatest actress, but I tell you what, when she wants something, she works hard for it. Can we say the same about Nia Long? Don’t hate on the next person because your money ain’t flowing right. You want a part, try out for it, you don’t like the parts you are getting, either fire your Manager or tell him/her to step their game up. Ashanti wanted to do theatre and thats what she is doing, Miss Nia Long not gone say nothing about that? Ciara did stage plays, Miss Nia Long not gone say nothing about that? You get the pretty lady next door roles because thats what you try out for. Maybe you should call Tyler Perry or are you too good for him too Nia Long?

Nia is so damn right! All yall other people trying to take up for Beyonce…………………………she needs to stick with her singing, im not trying to hate on B because she is doing her thing right now but she needs to stick with her singing. Honestly I think we put her up so high that we think she can do it all but in actuality she is not that good of an actor. Now this is on a serious note. I commend Nia for being so bold to say what needed to be said.

I agree with Nia Long, BEYONCE is not a good actress and she only getting roles because of the box office. I think that girl needs to sit down because Beyonce is trying to get all the money she can. She is a selfish azz person. Stop trying to take all the shine Beyonce.

Everybody say Amen, I am glad one of many talanted ladies that are not getting more movies roles had the guts to say how she really feels.

I agree with you SquareBizz2020 But once you venture into new things you should be just as good at that as the thing that made you famous. If you a bomb singer/entertainer on stage and as an actress you’re second rate at best than maybe someone should have enough courage to tell you “You need more lessons” instead of just choosing to hear that your great at everything. And FYI, Nia has ventured into new territory, she has produced movies and video, and directed short films…she knows how to stay in her lane.

And Im just gonna speak the real truth, this includes Jennifer Hudson, granted she was great in the MUSICAL, but that doesnt always translate into pure acting roles. Everything is about the HYPE never about the RAW TALENT!
