  • The New Year brings about changes in all of our lives. Well, here's one of the biggest changes in mine. After careful consideration, I decided not to renew my contract with Fox Soul which expired Decemer 22, 2023. Here's why...

    Funky, even if you never read this statement within your lifetime: Thank you for what you brought to Tea GIF - Fox Soul. Because of you and AL, I have a better understanding, sensitivity and respect for the LGBTQ community. When it comes to everything that was discussed from celebrity stories to information concerning the black community or the USA, you were honest. I’ve never heard the level of honest commentary in media like I heard from you. You got me through some depressing times. You brought me laughter when I had to work from home in 2020. Being diagnosed with epilepsy was hard for me but looking forward to hearing YOU, Claudia, and AL helped bring me joy. I loved the TRIO. It wasn’t just some talk show group. It was unfiltered conversations with my family or close friends. I don’t even know y’all on a personal level and I love y’all like no other celebrities. SMH. 😂 Please don’t change unless it is change that brings you more joy. I appreciate you and just made sure to subscribe on your channel. ❤ Thank God! I can see you somewhere else again. LOL

    This is a very concise and diplomatic way of explaining the situation and the fact that it was not caused by a personality clash among the hosts allows the integrity of the experience the show gave us to remain uncompromised in our memories.
    I only gave TEA-Gif a chance because you were on it. It will not be the same without you. I really hope the show does not fail now, but if viewership does start to drop then I hope they would change the pay rate so you may consider returning.

This wasn't him seeing a better opportunity or being ready to do something different, this was just a classic game of who will blink first that happens all of the time in contract negotiations. Neither side blinked. They said take it or leave it, he chose to leave, and they didn't chase him down trying to get him back.
