They forced her out because she would not succumb to the twerkin and jerkin. She relies on her talent and on top of that even fully clothed you can tell that her figure is on point
She didn't need to be in their sick club anyway. Can't stand them. Their loss. It's so good that she's a true woman of integrity, dignity, morals and priceless value. They'll never measure up. Much props to real Queens doing their thing!!! Let's not ever stop!!!!💖💎👑 The authentic and original are the standard, not the fake impostors. Remember THAT!!!
I remember the early days of Jill Scott & Kindred The Family Soul and most music out of Hidden Beach Recordings in Neo-Soul and Mos Def and Talib Kweli in Hip Hop. Black love and consciousness returned for a few years 25 years ago, and it was lovely...
I agree! Righteous people are always going to be in a spiritual battle. Many People envy dark intelligent women, some wish they could be her because they're not her and can never be even in their dreams they let their jealousy get a hold of them. I love and appreciate the brothers and sisters who did support her. India Arie is a dark Beautiful talented Powerful woman who brings truth , positivity, and class in song and how she chooses to represent herself which of course is who she is .🌹🫂🌹 Much respect for her parents. May she continue forward and enjoy her success. I appreciate India Arie 💯%
I remembered that night like it was yesterday and it was a major travesty in how they shafted her. It was unbelievable that she didn’t receive one award after a superbly successful album.
That's why it's important that we know our own worth and worthiness as original people and stop allowing unworthy beings to identify or define us. Truth is not to be denied no matter what. All love 💎💖👑🤙🏽🤗
I am an old lady who has depression and anxiety. My doctor told me to go to a place where they do a treatment for depression without any drugs. I always had my earbuds in my ears and I found the song on CZcams that I just kept playing in a loop. It was called “Back to the Middle.” It’s so good and so encouraging to get back to the middle of life and be at peace with yourself and others. This lady helped me through depression and anxiety by giving me a song that was so helpful to me that I was telling others about it. Listen to it and tell me what you think about it. 😊
India is a great friend of mine of whom I first met in Savannah Georgia. What I most admire about her is that the game has never went to her head, she remains down to earth and grounded.👑🏆👑
She has always stood for something … and not just falling for anything. She represents what BLACK LOVE is and should be! SALUTE India! If only we had more like you … A LOT MORE!!!
@@Docmakesfotos No they couldnt. Most of them dont even have the knowledge, wisdom, or enlightenment to ever...and this is also coming from an 80s baby cuz beieve if the could, they WOULD but they dont bc they CANT. We're talkin abt the collective, not your child or your siblings or lil cousins.
On Megan the Stallion and Janelle Monae. What she actually said was “context” there is a time and a place for everything and this was not the right place for that type of performance and she was right!
That flew right over their heads smh.... Something this generation is lacking. Discretion. Not everything is for the eyes of everyone. But that's a losing battle so imma sit in this corner and listen to India and my oldies ....
I never realized just how beautiful this woman is!!! Like a classic painting, a quick glance, and you can easily overlook all the subtleties and quirks, which, when placed together, makes this woman one of the finest artists working!!! Exquisitely BLACK and BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!❤
India Arie is what I like to call a Class Act!! A gifted musician and talented singer she's definitely the whole Package!! We've been blessed not only by her natural beauty but by her lyrics of music 🎶 that keeps us tune in!! For a woman who has talent galore India doesn't need terking to draw attention She Already Is The Center Of Attention!! Much Love 💜 India for staying True To Yourself🧡🤍🎇🤍🧡
Why is it that when truth is spoken, others want you to mind your business. But when you "follow the so called leader," or stay quiet on an issue, your great or fantastic in the nonsense?! 🤯
She's as real as real gets. Love everything about her...Her skin, her smile, her fashion and you can never forget her beautiful soulful voice. Keep on shining beautiful. ❤
Yes, real heterosexual black women with self love, integrity and dignity is not appreciated and applauded in this time. Singing songs to uplift your spirit isn’t appreciated as obviously it is not selling. If you aren’t showing and defacing your God given temple you are up against serious Legions of dark forces however we all have the power to call upon our Legions of light to fight back biblical speaking. I know it’s extremely exhausting, there you have it. We ❤ you India and we need you to continue the fight and bring back your light 🕯️💐😘
The only thing that did not need to be discussed in this video was her net worth, which is nobody’s business. Other than that, it’s really great information about her.
She is definitely not wrong about Rogan. He is trash on purpose or his perceived value. No one needs $250M for a podcast. And artists should be paid more for their work. As for the photo???? Stupid and disrespectful.
Who ever though she was going to win a grammy for loving brown skin, have not live here for long. I loved it (the song), but I knew, that someone with melanated skin who loves themselves and their men were not going to get a grammy. Her song shines a positive light on brown skin people and that was not liked by (let's just say) the powers that be.
India is sooooo TALENTED and 1 of my favorite artists. It’s so very sad that people dismiss the views of others if those views do not align with their own. Keep speaking your truth India. ❤
WOW!!!! The price of integrity is a loss of revenue, but the blessing of integrity is a strong and satisfied soul, for witch no amount of money could ever buy. I know India can take a deep breath of fresh air, exhale and her spirit is light!
After the song I am not my hair came out it gave me the strength and the motivation I needed to take off that wig I’ve been wearing all these years, shave my head bald and wear it with pride. I get compliments every day. I feel free. 🙏🏾❤
I'm so proud of India Arie. She lives what she sings about. She didn't just speak about the inequities and unfairness in the music industry, she removed herself to invoke change.
I always loved my homegirls music it's so soulful, plus she is so beautiful and talented. Finally, shout out to her family, especially to her father, the great Ralph Simpson former pro basketball player who was a mentor and my college coach at CU at Denver. I wish her and her whole family nothing but the best ❤
Imo, Janelle Monae is getting desperate for views and is just performative at this point. I blame this on the need to get views to get paid in music. Streams don't pay artists.
She will always be The Queen…her music 🎶 is healing ❤️🩹 the lyrics and guitar 🎸. Classy. Elegant. Regal. Spiritual. She is WORTHY ALWAYS. ❤🎶. Speak 🗣️ Truth Bombs Sister…Standup!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️. 😅Favorite Song 🎤 ALL . Any song she sing 🎤 🎶
It's so sad how we have to put someone down to lift another up. Not sure why we can't just give India her flowers without comparing her to Sexy Red. We are not a monolith
We love India's music! Years ago, we played her music whenever we strapped the girls into their car seats for road trips. She was one of the few artists I trusted my kids ears to.
India’s music was literally my therapy as I was studying music therapy during my years at Berkeley College of Music. My favourite song of her’s is I Am Light. I’ve used it in therapy sessions as a non-invasive way to open up the discussion of the meaning of who we are. I absolutely love, conscious music and musicians, and is definitely one of them! I love her confidence and she doesn’t care what people think. She just tells the truth 😁🙏🏾🙌🏾💜💫
TOO REAL , TOO BLACK, NOT THEY WAY WITH CLASS OF OWN CLUTURE, THEY DONT LIKE WHEN SOME OF US DONT BEND THEY WAY SHE DONT BE DOING ALL THAT BU CK DANCEING❤❤❤❤❤❤
It sad when you stand up for your rights and equality in this country call America . Then corporations put a spin on things treat you like a criminal , when your the victim. Finally, you go Ms. Aire speak up for yourself because often no else will . M
Every time I see this woman I think she should have been the one to play Nina Simone Instead of latina Zoe Saldana🤷🏿
They did Nina a disservice by not allowing India to play her
Ndeed that was a seriously cracktastic decision tht made no damn sense whatsoever. But those emons do as they damn well please, so disrespectful
💯
You know the industry can't have us knowing that black is beautiful.
She does favor her, but I don’t about her having any actual acting skills.
Brown skin had everyone loving their brown skin.
I love that song. Sends me in a trance to love my on chocolate counterparts. I'm not chocolate by far but we can flow lol
I know right 💯
Ugh 😂. Basic
@@josephharden5592 probably like your you tube channel

Just Like They did Another great singer Oleta Adam’s, these are some of the greatest that would not succumb to foolishness.
I agree with you! Thanks for posting.
She the truth and I'm glad she didn't succumb to the foolary. Her real fans got her.
Well she embraced homos u can't trust anyone in the industry she still living ok
Absolutely ❤
💯💯
So true!
U can bet that
India Arie fought a spiritual warfare, and won! Only the strong survive! Proud to be brown skin forever!!!👏🏾👏🏾
I agree!

Nominated for 7 Grammy’s in 2002 and not winning one is highway robbery if I’ve ever seen one.
I remembered that night like it was yesterday and it was a major travesty in how they shafted her. It was unbelievable that she didn’t receive one award after a superbly successful album.
Chy its rigged like all the other entertainment industry stuff.
That's why it's important that we know our own worth and worthiness as original people and stop allowing unworthy beings to identify or define us. Truth is not to be denied no matter what. All love 💎💖👑🤙🏽🤗
It was rumored that Alicia Keys swept the Awards bc Alicia was so much lighter skinned than India..😢..
@@maryrobinson4131 Yup, that’s what I heard back then too.
Sad part is ...she was 100% right
And not 1 twirk done. This is the image young ladies should follow! Beautiful & sophisticated ❤
💯🎯💯🎯
Well said and all facts.
Which is why real people love her and fake foolery people don't. Truth and love prevails.
And ENORMOUSLY talented! She lets her MUSIC do the talking without debasing herself.
Her music is so healing... Her music has gotten me thru some difficult times!! So So many songs
Me too!
Voyage to India is musical Holy water 🥰

She doesn't need any help with her name. She built it herself.
Ali built his name, India built hers.
That’s awesome 👏🏾.
Thank you❤
Music is a form of healing, and India's music DEFINITELY brings healing to your soul...❤❤❤
@@MrCeorashe's extending the song so it can help others. That's all she said.
I always love her music and her personality, beautiful person
India is a great friend of mine of whom I first met in Savannah Georgia. What I most admire about her is that the game has never went to her head, she remains down to earth and grounded.👑🏆👑
She's about truth
I like India she’s beautiful and very talented ❤😊❤
Please tell her to get on CZcams. Her fans will support her fully!
She has always stood for something … and not just falling for anything. She represents what BLACK LOVE is and should be! SALUTE India! If only we had more like you … A LOT MORE!!!
She is a true black queen and i love India Arie music 🎵🎶.
She is a natural beauty in body and soul🌻
I Am Not My Hair was a song I needed all the way from K-12. Now it's anthem for me.
Even before that was Groove Theory, and Amel Larrieux's solo career... Neo-Soul was lovely...
Glad I'm a 80s baby where good music existed
Her style voice mind immaculate ❤❤❤❤
This generation could never
I'm an 80s baby too. Her music didn't come out until the early 2000s. Our generation birthed the gen Z kids. so we are partially responsible.
…yes they could. (From another fellow 80’s baby)
@@Docmakesfotos No they couldnt. Most of them dont even have the knowledge, wisdom, or enlightenment to ever...and this is also coming from an 80s baby cuz beieve if the could, they WOULD but they dont bc they CANT. We're talkin abt the collective, not your child or your siblings or lil cousins.
@@DanceArchives24straight up facts ❤
Well, when is it coming@@Docmakesfotos
India’s music is medicine for the soul.❤❤❤
Let’s change her name name to India “Ali” for the way she fought the system💯
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@Seka58983 No! Why she can't have her name!
@@OlObuffalo She has her name 🤣😂🤣
I ❤ MYSELF SOME INDIA ARIE. ....NO ONE CAN REPLACE HER...... SHE'S AS REAL AS IT GETS
She IS royalty!
Her music taught me self love and built my confidence. Love India Arie.❤
"Ready For Love" is my favorite song of all time!!!
💚💚💚
Yesssssssss ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
India got us through some hard times and she will always be a special gem.
Peace to India Arie
Her comments aged well!!! 🔥❤️🔥🔥😂. Now look at the industry
She doesn't get enough recognition!!!
She needs her flowers 💐 Good music, good vibes. We needed India Arie and we're grateful for get artistry!! ❤❤
Brown skin is my favorite song 🎶
On Megan the Stallion and Janelle Monae. What she actually said was “context” there is a time and a place for everything and this was not the right place for that type of performance and she was right!
That flew right over their heads smh.... Something this generation is lacking. Discretion. Not everything is for the eyes of everyone. But that's a losing battle so imma sit in this corner and listen to India and my oldies ....
And they showed Coco Jones instead of Megan the Stallion. They need people for edit and go over these video.
Favorite India Arie song: " Strength Courage and Wisdom "
@@Z-xm2bzright!
Stay strong my sister, the fight is sometimes dirty.
Powerful just Powerful 🥰

I was just jamming India A. last night!!! Strength, Courage & Wisdom!!! One love🙏🏾💪🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️
I always loved that song by her. ☺️ The whole album is a true gem.
She's the real deal. She didn't sell her soul to the devil. I love her music and my autistic son absolutely loves her music. She's beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Why is it that when truth is spoken, others want you to mind your business. But when you "follow the so called leader," or stay quiet on an issue, your great or fantastic in the nonsense?! 🤯
THIS!!! 🎯
Because TRUTH exposes the darkness and truth is bad for business. People don't want to feel judged. They want to stay immoral and be justified in it.
Always my girl!!! Stand up!
Not a White woman on "Brown Skin!!" The OUTRAGE!
They have not stopped promoting their color to be loved by people; however, they won’t changed their hatred attitudes.
The song is called BROWN Skin 😉
I believe that was done on purpose. 🤬
🤬
We love you India, keep doing it!
One of the greatest and underrated black artist ever. Of course they couldn't let her have shit
I love her for standing 10 toes down on what she believes❤❤❤
Reign strong Beautiful Queen!!
Her action was honorable ❤
She's as real as real gets. Love everything about her...Her skin, her smile, her fashion and you can never forget her beautiful soulful voice. Keep on shining beautiful. ❤
Cuz she is the truth, and she is so real and I love the way her music makes me feel. Keep being you. Many blessings

The Grammy's conspired against her
Shoot, I'd be glad. The devil don't want you, but the Lord surely does. GO🏃🏿♀️
Amen

This story is so inspiring. It gives insight on how being firm for justice pays off and paves the way for not only yourself, but humanity.
