Lauryn Hill Has Completely Lost Her Mind!

Filed under: Lauryn Hill

5xxfm9d.jpg

Her erractic behavior has reached new heights!

We just don't know what to say about THIS:

According to sources at Lauryn Hill's Norway concert this weekend, her crazy demands are even more out of control. Apparently she demanded that all her security guards be black, none of them could look at her–even from backstage, no one around her could speak to her unless she speaks to them first, and no one could walk past her backstage. Chick clearly has some issues.

When one security guard forgot one of the rules and said something to her, she allegedly lost her damn mind and started throwing water bottles at him. And after the power went out in the venue–Lauryn refused to continue once the power came back on. Folks had to get a refund.

She's trying to be crazier than Britney!

    #167 - take this quiz says:

    Hey take my quiz:
    It is legal to discriminate against my race
    I once had my academic scholarship given to a black women with a 3.4 GPA, when I had a 4.0 GPA.
    An employer told me that he would like to promote me but they needed to fill a quota.

    I can answer yes to all 3 so FUCK YOU MONKEY!!!

    fuck this racist world,not lauryn hill–a very talented artist whol is only a prodcut of what the MAN (white man) has made her. look at all the white folk frontin' at just one instance of racism (probably the only they have ever experienced). such is life. most of you are probably racist. just not willing to admit it.
    so all of you shut up before you point fingers.

    Black and white people alike. We all know that Lauryn has some issues, right? No question about that. But, maybe this might help.
    There’s an artist named Kanan. His music is similar to Lauryn’s. Recently, while on tour with Damian Marley in Sweden, he and his management/entourage were attacked by the bodyguards of the venue that he had just performed for. The artist’s were black. The body guards were white. His manager’s nose was broken and no charges were ever pressed. Lauryn probably felt threatened by that and went way too far in the other direction.

    We should of left all these animals in Africa, she would of died of AID$ by now if she lived there. Mud ducks are worse than when we brought cockroaches over by mistake. Except they breed faster, have more diseases and hold less jobs than the roaches.

    Lauren Hill is one of the most talented african american artist we've had in the last 15 years the fact that she is even compared to Britney is a joke within itself..I wish Britney all the luck in the world.. I opened my store early ounce so she and her big body guard could shop in Soho, NY.. She seemed like a nice person ..I didn't talk to her. In New York we don't sweat stars.. They Sh*t like we do.RIGHT!!! Ask Puffy!! Ha Ha..

    222

    To #164 - you proved my point. My statement actually was "typical black person who uses the race card". Of course all you saw were the words "typical black person".

    Thanks for making my point for me. Typical refers to the black person who uses a race card. Typical does not refer to just black people.

    You must be one of the uneducated BLACK, WHITE OR PURPLE dummies.

IT'S ALIVE AND KICKING AND ALL OF YOU HYPOCRITES ARE PERPETUATING IT. NONE OF YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT SHE HAS EXPEREIENCED IN HER PAST TO MAKE HER FEEL THE WAY SHE DOES, SO DON'T JUDGE. I WOULDN'T WANT US HYPOCRITES BUYING MY CD EITHER. ALL OF YOU CAN SURELY EAT 7,000 WEE WEES AND CHOKE

    yeah she's a c*nt anyway. I read somewhere else a couple years ago that she'd rather give birth to a baby with AIDS then to let a white person hold any child of hers. That's why she only wants black body guards. She hates white people. Who the hell does she think she is to get owed all those rediculous requests? She sucks AND her music sucks..it always has and always will.

    I'm a fan, but she's a lunatic.

    I never heard she was a racist, i think she is losing her mind a bit but she is AMAZINGLY talented!

If ur gonna be against racism than be against it and stop half assin'!

  65. lil mama says – reply to this


    265

    Wow, ya'll make me sad, people hide the racism that is really in their hearts so well. None of you have any right to call anyone a black bitch, white bitch, whatever it is it is all racism. Lauryn Hill may have done and said things she shouldn't have but you all have now sunk to the same racist level that she has…or maybe you all were already there! And for all of you that keep sayin it is black people's fault for enslavin fellow black people, black people didn't invade their own continent and start the whole trade, and don't u think maybe the black people that started sellin their own kind may have thought that it was the only way they themselves could avoid bein enslaved? it is absolutely no excuse for what those very FEW did however when you have NO OPTIONS you do what you can to survive! Many of you are soooo ignorant! I realize how sad some of ya'll are.

    I love it. Blacks love to talk about their love of their race. But when Black men get money the first thing they do is date/marry a white girl.

    If you want to hire only blacks fine. Just shut the hell up about whites wanting to only hire whites then. You cant have it both ways.

  69. J Smith says – reply to this


    269

    Why is it when blacks only want to watch other blacks on TV they are just being racially conscious. But if someone who is white prefers to watch shows with whites they are "racist". Hilrious.

    Blacks are as racist as any KKK member. They hate white people and want nothing to do with whites.

  70. Adam K says – reply to this


    270

    Slavery was a big mistake. Blacks should never have been brought to the USA. Blacks are much happier with their own kind. The USA would have been much more peaceful if blacks would have stayed in Africa. They would be happy in their own country and whites would be happier too and all this hate would not be taking place. Whites and blacks do not share the same culture and should not live together. They would do better living with their own kinds.

    Ok none of you mofos know what the hell you are talking about. Lauren Hill is a better artist than fucking whitney houstin ever was. She has a right to be as big a fucking bitch as she wants! And as for her comments about white people… she has been quoted saying that she surrounds herself with black peolple, however she has never said anything about white people buying her music. That must be a reference to TH not wanting Blacks to buy his clothing. The bitch is a fucking amazing artist as well as mother, and as far as her clothes, she is jamacan and eclectic. Leave her the fuck alone! Thaks p-nasty, you owe me for that one! -B ha

Oh and black people are here to stay so deal with it all u racist asses! AND for that stupid person who said it would be better off if black people stayed in Africa and white people stayed in America, America would be nothing without black people, go read some history and facts!! Some of ya'll are some damn morons! Stupidity isn't gettin u anywhere ya'll need to read some books!

    To ADAM K. : To their own KIND? What does that supposed to mean? I'm not white nor black, and that's just over the top racist. Let's get one thing straight here! We're all HUMAN BEINGS. There's no such things as "KINDS". I agree with Lil' mama, Some of the most influential people in history have been African Americans! AND alot of the things that exist today, which you USE HAVE been invented by blacks! Racist people like you are only in denial, because you don't like the fact that blacks HAVE contributed to this country. You seriously DO need to go read a history book!

    You call her behavior erractic. You posters call her crazy. NO one but Lauryn knows what's going on in her life. The industry and fame screws with everyone's (in the business) head and especially for someone like L who isn't even viewed as worthy of fame. Take it easy on her. I'm sure her requests were taken out of context. I love you Lauryn!!

    "Interesting" Points made there and the Quiz ….wow you do understand the problem. The rest of this blog is mostly pathetic ravings of frustrated, uneducated, uninformed lonely people. Lauren has and always will be talented and unique. As to the new look and the truth of the info posted here ….very suspect and soiled. It is sad hear some of the junk said on this site. I quess the new intellect is the internet……not.

    If Lauren has lost her mind….let her find it herself. Your hateful comments are only bringing you to your proper level and indicate truth to yourself; finally. Next time you see a white women on the arm of a black man. Remember, " You helped"………………….with your hate!

    Thanks,

    286

    I am filled with sadness. There is no such thing as "reverse racism". The greatest problem that this could have POSSIBLY caused you is that you had to trash a few CD's that you used to like. FUCK YOU! I am as white as they get, but possibly one of few who has posted that knows. Try being whipped til you pass out. Try watching your children being sold off. Try watching people you love having NO SHOT at what they love to do. Try integrating the anger of such woes from your ancestors. Try creating a space in your mind where you have to live with that anger daily. THEN try calling your sorry-ass bitching important. Hell. go to college and learn a few things before you speak about racism. It's not YOUR problem, you white phonies. I know you want the attention from it, but I will not give it to you. Does anyone else understand, or is it only sub-intellectuals here, looking for a moment where they can pretend like they are victims of racism, so they can call it thier own?

Does she not think thats why she is a has been due to anti racist people not buying her music… Get a reality check sweetheart.

    How priviledged you all feel, coming here and spewing your mouths like little kids. Infact, you are all little kids.
    Go on, yell scream and fight, but visit timsiwe.com that someon has advertised, and enlighten your little enraged white- matter minds that are not just not smart or wise. Poor America, dumb, fat, in debt and thus sinking its teeth into racism. Americans - oink oink.

    Amongst many others, I still feel that Lauryn Hill's album 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill' is a timeless classic and through her music she demonstrates a high degree of intellect in regards to various social issues.

    I condone racism and we only need to look at history, i.e. the enslavement of Africans and their shipping to the Americas and Caribbean, apartheid in South Africa, segregation in the US and racial tensions in the UK etc to see the pernicious effects of racism and discrimination.

    I feel that Lauryn Hill's insight into racism and various social ills have somehow manifested into bitterness, resentment and it is obvious that she is struggling with her success, identity and probably her mental health and it is a shame that this very talented woman has been unable to mantain and improve her success, reputation and actually ostracise fans.

    Interestingly, when Lauryn Hill won a record number of Grammies for 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill', the Daily Mail (a rather horrid right wing 'upmarket' tabloid newpapers in the UK) chose to put a picture of Madonna (who had appeared at the awards ceremony as well) on the front page instead of a picture of Lauryn Hill (which I would argue would have been more appropriate that Lauryn Hill won five Grammies, beating Madonna for Album of the Year).

    Yes, racism is inexcusable but then it often seems that white people will speak up most readily against it when they are (far less often than the other way round) on the receiving end but less upfront when it is perpetrated by one of them.

    We cannot change history but if white people had been en masse stolen from the UK, US, other European countries etc and sold into slavery, separated from their families, raped by their slavemasters and forced to bear their children, branded like animals and then generations later when they are 'free', still have to deal with the systematic and endemic discrimination that still exists, perhaps their mental health would be tested in the way that many ethnic minority individuals currently suffer…

    maybe all these stupid fucking celebrities should stop being such divas and do something with there lives other than spit on fans and look for publicity through drug busts and water bottle wars. You can all go fuck yourselves. You all have enough money to get all your racist requests and follow your diva antics and still do something good for the world like for charity or some sort of foundation instead of sniffing your coke, getting DUI's and fucking freaking on a body guard for speaking to you. i say lauren hill should get her fucking head outta the clouds and realize there's worse things in life than white body guards. bitch.
