It amazes me how he had to fight for her to be cast because she was black. When I was young and this movie came out, I never saw black and white. I saw an incredible movie with beautiful actors and an amazing love story. At what point in our innocent lives do we start making decisions based on skin color? I need to know. What is the instance that happens in life that we stop seeing human beings and only see color? 💔

This is just to keep Nips name relevant so clive can continue to make money off name I'm disappointed in you Kevin... why are you helping him? They know he had something to do with it her death allegedly

[WakandaForever]

Just think if he married Whitney instead of trying to hook up with Madonna

[whatsgoinontoday]

Clive, ray j, pat had something to do with her death SMH and Kevin just playing along.. I like Kevin but I believe he knows way more... he's just playing dumb....an Insincere speech
