Nia Long caused quit a bit of stir up today regarding her staments in the July issue of Pride Magazine, when they asked her about Beyonce's performance in the movie Obsessed.

" I didn’t see ‘Obsessed,’ so I can’t comment, but it’s just not about how talented you are anymore. It’s about, ‘How much box-office revenue will this person generate?’ When you see certain people – we won’t name names – they just don’t have the skill, and no one in their team has said, ‘You need acting classes,’”
She also goes on to say, “If you’re a singer not an actress, you should sing. If you’re a rapper, you should rap,” “If you take time to develop your craft, God bless you. Jamie Foxx is an example of both [actor and singer].”
She then adds “If you were able to take all the Black actresses and the choices we’ve made collectively, it’s a pure reflection of what you see on film. People need to work. But the content? The opportunities for Black actresses are more widespread today, but the quality has suffered.”

I didn’t know Nia long was still relevant to do covers but just out of curiosity what about actors who try to sing and rap? And obviously its going to be about box office numbers, just like records sales. Every thing is about numbers and who's bringing in what and how many they are bringing in. Its called business. Get with it. Nia girl don't blame Beyonce because you can't get an acting role!
