- It went down at the 2019 Essence Festival in New Orleans. Baby I had the time of my life. Connections were made, friendships where restored, and of course there was a little drama. The good, the bad, and the ugly...
#EssenceFest #FunkyDineva #FunkyBunch
I had VIP backstage access at Essence as well and while you were waiting to get your credentials, I asked if you could take a video with me because me and my husband had just found out we were pregnant after 6 years of trying and our first round of IVF. You said of course and said “Congratulations on Baby Barnes”... that made my DAY!!!! I will show my 1 and only son that video when he’s older! Thank you Dineva
Edit: THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE WELL WISHES!!!!!!!
Awww. Beautiful. Congrats!!!
Congratulations on your pregnancy. I hope the best!
BeautifullyMade 0627 thank you!!!
Sochi314 thank you!!!!
Congratulations!!!!! I had a great time!
“I haven’t been a hoe since 2007.” 😂😂
Girl same.
Eloy I stopped in 2007 too
People from New Orleans don't even go on Bourbon Street...we literally avoid Bourbon cause there's nothing to do but have people all on top of you... Frenchman St or Ms Mae's may be more your speed if you ever come back
Once the Barry storm moves😳
I’m going to Google it but what does Ms Mae’s or French Quarter offer
JaguarPride3 I’m going to Google it but what does Ms Mae’s or French Quarter offer? I heard of The French Quarters is that the same as Frenchman?
Yep! Frenchman St. ❤️
I went on the streets over and then some. I'm not from NOLA but I'm not the typical tourist at all...
Funky Dineva I was at the Essence Festival and I was so excited when I saw your name on the line up. I went to the app to register for your session and it was full! You are loved by many!!!
"I got my own private balcony. We gonna be hooting and hollering out here like owls when I get drunk."
2 seconds later
"I don't want to talk too loud out here because it's people outside."
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Idk why that tickled me so hard
OJay88 Right! He went from Dineva to Quentin real fast!
That had me hollering. I have a friend that will swear she's about to turn up and then want to sit back eat fruit and drink wine. I've asked why doesn't she just say she wants to chill but she'll hype up the night and then come back to reality real quick.
@@Sochi314 that is exactly what he did, too!!! 🤣🤣
@@ocky88 Me all day 🤣
Hilarious :)
Us locals don’t do Bourbon so we’re not offended. Bourbon is for the tourists.
Chelsea M can you suggest some places to go?
Chelsea M yes!
I’ve gone twice and the second go around I steered clear of bourbon.
Frenchmen's Street has the real NOLA music
Glen CoCo if you’ve never been, I would say pass through Bourbon. Nothing is wrong with it. I just said we don’t do it because we live here and so it’s not a destination spot.
Like someone mentioned, a more upgraded area would definitely be Frenchman street if you’re looking for the food/music/drinks/crowd associated with Bourbon. That’s a really good experience.
NESSA DON'T EAT OR DRINK ISSSH!AMERICAN'S AIN'T BEEN MAKING IT BACK FROM THE DAMN DOMINICAN!!!!
His eating grapes I'm scared ! 🤪
Omg I was just about to type that then I seen ur comment
yeah, some reports are saying it might be tainted alcohol! I had a distant family member come back from Punta Cana and died mysteriously 18 days later. Doctors can't figure out why, so Q please be careful! Tourist are dying in DR.
They say they're putting something in drinks that turn into a solid and blocks your arteries. I saw.the video on you tube.
She Royal 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
CONGRATULATIONS on Essence Fest boo!!! I watched 1 random video of yours a year ago, and been hooked ever since...This is your time Nessa🤗🥳👏🏽
dats so cool
Well damn! That's a whole damn apartment.
Uncle Tim I want him to be careful
A pard ment. Yes ma’am.
Hey, uncle Tim!
Heyyyy Tim!!!
Yassssss! 😂😂
Funky, don't stirv up a goddam 🍸🍷🍹🍺 thing while you're out there, and make sure you call us when you get home. Don't have us on no 👀🔦🔎🕵️♀️search and rescue missions!!!
Cause we will book a flight.
kjdnyhmghfvb and that’s on period
@@kjdnyhmghfvb Right! Cause I'm finna windmill my ass off for my Nessa!!
I’m tryna tell you chile!!!👏🏾
They don't want no problems... It will go from Classy to Gangsta real quick!!!!!! Yaassss
You seem very comfortable in the DR. I wouldn't be sleeping eating, or drinking a damn thing. Matter fact I'm damn near scared to watch this video. DR got me shook.
1Candysweets im crying at this comment. No lies told
You not lying.. I would be so paranoid!
Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
I remember watching your first video many many years ago. Congratulations Funky Dineva on your success! You're a household name!!
I LOVED seeing your IG while you were in NOLA. You looked so happy!
I am living for all of the energy in this video! This is Vibe Goals❤❤❤🤗
Coke-a-Cola please!!
Caught that What's Love Gotta Do reference!!!! 👏 👏 👏
#80's baby
#black college grad
#American
Yes, I got it as well.
I love him cuz I get all his references
he said "Co-Cola" and I died lmao
🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
She Royal 🙋🏾♀️
Chile I just had a 40 minute walk listening to this, I didnt even feel it cause I was listening to you. I will continue to support you no matter what you choose to do
Q don’t drink 🍸 no Hennessy and coke, nessa I mean don’t drink 💩. I am happy you’re career is growing and things are looking positive for you 😂👍🍸
@ Latoya Banks , lol shade
No I am for real he should not drink anything those hotel owners in DR are doing some dangerous things
Henn and "coke" you tried it
@@truestory1379 😄😄
True Story I am talking about Hennessy and coco cola in Miami we say Henny and coke not the other stuff you thinking 💭
I absolutely LOVE how shocked yet appreciative you were that soooo many ppl were there to see YOU. Thank you for being extremely humble regarding it and sharing this with us 🤗 #YESSSSNESSA😍
Mega prayers that you come back safely!!!
“Coca Cola please” took me out😂😂😂😂 you got to be 35 and older to remember that line.
I'm in my 20s and that's one of my favorite lines from my fav movies lol when she was Anna mae
Monaee Stutts you must have an old soul❣️
Dineva, I love to see how you have bounced back and and are on the way up! You have worked hard and I’m so glad to see it all paying off for you. Wishing you much success!
right
Yes Lord ! When I saw you on IG at the Essence Festival, I broke out In tears, of joy for you💋
I am so proud of YOU! Keep doing your thang, we love yay!
Dineva pleaseeee dont drink that alcohol in your room. They taint there alcohol over there.
Their
I don’t think it’s intentional. I believe the DR has a black market for alcohol and a lot of these folks are selling alcohol that is deemed unsafe for human consumption.
@@boojank a large corporate chain like grand palladium isn't buying bootleg hooch out of a warehouse. they get their alcohol and beverages from major distributors.
Its Ruby hopefully the manager doesn’t let their self in a kill Funky when she’s sleeping
Its Ruby I was scheduled for the same trip I had to cancel due to work but their good the travel company they went through is amazing and everything is private and professional so their drinks 🍹 are good verses the general public drinks 👍
My auntie & mama were the two ladies who had you to try on the Dollin’ shades that you loved! I’m so mad they told me last minute, I love you & was so jealous when I saw the picture. Thank you so much for making their day & supporting the brand ❤️❤️❤️
Ummm lol 😊😊😊 did anybody else peep Dineva in the Grey sweats tho!!😳😳😳👀👀👀
Had a little something going on #trade
I was thinking whoa Dineva you working with something 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
I peeped that print awhile ago LOL......
@@rochelleperkins3836 deneva by day, full trade Quintin at night,lol
Hunny yess... 😉😉
I honestly love seeing how far you came from fake doing k Michelle’s hair in the interview to being on stage at essence it’s an inspiration
I’m from New Orleans and attend Essence every year. Wish I knew Dineva was down there when I was, would’ve loved to meet him
i can't wait to go one day
@@DIONLIVE Me 2
As a Fan from the way beginning. I must say I am extremely proud of you. Thank you for being so transparent with us. Your hard work has paid off you deserve this moment! Keep going ❤️❤️💪🏾
Been rocking with you since Kandi Koated Nights and never stopped watching you...keep up the good work...may God continue to Bless you love
I wish underground was still on tv.
I miss it too.
Me too! I hate cliffhangers and no renewals.
Cameca Edwards ... ME TOOOOOO!! That was a great show!!
Please be safe and DO NOT drink the mixed alcohol beverages (especially blended with ice). Please buy SEALED bottles and consume in your room
right. what u doing
Dont drink from the mini bar
"by" 😂😂😂
Q, you worked hard for this. You built this platform organically and not on the coat tails of someone else. We are beyond proud of you. We have seen you through your valleys and I am happy to be part of your peaks. Continue evolving, because it is needed in this universe.
Funky it was my first time at NOLA and Essence too. I went for my bday and had a ball! Awesome food, people and events.
C. W. Right ⚜️
Yeah, he's trippin talking about he wouldn't go for a regular trip. Me and my friends went a couple of times and had hella fun! It's nice to be around grown and sexy Black folk. And the fooooood! 😊
C. W. He acting real important I get it being around all those celebrities but I’ve Neva heard someone dissing one of the most famous streets in the world. Everyone knows Bourbon street host millions of people a year it’s gonna be lit, stinky, smelly, fun, entertaining with some of the best drinks & people acting a damn fool. That’s why every movie feature Bourbon Street. He mad he had on flip flops like he was going to the beach 😂
NOLA Girl Whew Chile I’m 💀💀😂😂😂
Nisha Brown They were shooting Queen Sugar down there that week.
Uhmmmm DINEAVA you are an “Celebrity” EMBRACE IT GIRL 💕💕💕💕 People really love you #InRealLife
I do
I agree! A real life "Celebrated Entity" CATCH! 😍💖👑
Yes!
Amaya Lynxx
Yes he is "a" (😂😂😂) celebrity... In his own right.
Facts :) 💯
I missed you so much and I'm loving the glow-up. Couldn't think of any other person more deserving. 💓💓💓
glo up
I'm in the NOLA you are correct about Bourbon Street, however fun in New Orleans is made up of many places outside of Bourbon Street.
The Convention Center is for the empowerment of Sistas. Siminars and samples are given away from certain vendors (usually the larger ones) and small concerts are held there.
If anyone can make it here outside of a festival weekend they are bound to enjoy our city.
Ooooh Dineva, they gave you the good charcuterie platter!
Hey I'm sorry I missed your segment at the convention Center however I'm glad that we had our moment locating an Uber, lol. Happy that you attended Essence and you are so down to earth! It is awesome that you remain grounded.
I know you better make it back to Dade County in one piece Nessa girl or I'm gonna be real mad! Don't be drinking that liquor!
I know that's right. We'll shut it down if he doesn't
We sure will shut it down if he don’t make it back
Damn funky...is you packing like that? Grey sweatpants matter!
Ssssoooo Happy For You Q!!! You don't have to apologize for being Booked!!😂🤣😂 GetitGetit!!!!
A mona scott young mood swing away from not having a job....yasss dineva catch that tea!
tc g lol that was so accurate
I love how that was said. He was dropping all type of jewels and I hope people heard that.
THAT had me weak!!!
Omg I neeed your POSE review yesterday😩 #feels
