Lady Leshurr name drops T-Boz in latest track

LadyLeshurr_Tboz

British MC Lady Leshurr dropped her latest freestyle track “Queen’s Speech 7” this week, following on from last years “Queen’s Speech EP“, and she doesn’t disappoint with her infamous tongue-in-cheek metaphors!

The latest instalment in the series features a nod to our very own T-Boz! (“You’ll get roasted – peanuts / Married to the game, no prenup/ They’re pressed – screenshot/ Just keep your voice low – T-Boz).

Noisey‘s Lauren O’Neill states “Playful and snappy, always inventive, she goes from the silly (swipes at Kylie Jenner, for example) to the serious (“Who stood up when Grenfell? / Where’s all the money we raised then? / Theresa May is a wasteman”).

As always, her punchlines are genuinely funny, and what’s especially great about the series is that every time, Leshurr gets a little sharper and a little more polished.”

Onesies and scary movies with T-Boz and Chilli in Atlanta

I know you’re wondering how I got here. How the fuck does someone have a sleepover with TLC? It’s the most random shit. I agree.

About three years ago, before I was employed here, The FADER donated to TLC’s Kickstarter campaign to help fund their final album.

With a $5,000 donation, they bought a slumber party with T-Boz and Chilli, but the scheduling of it got put on the backburner until recently.

That’s how I found myself on the way to Atlanta last week to spend a night in a onesie with the legendary girl group.

1. Chilli and T-Boz are chill as fuck

There is an inevitable awkwardness involved in having a slumber party with people you’ve only just met, because, when does that ever happen?

Regardless, both Chilli and T-Boz were warm and playful. We didn’t have any planned activities for the slumber party, but I think it turned out better that way.

We mostly just talked, ate, watched scary movies, and played ding-dong-ditch. What I admired most about their personalities is that they seem to roll with the punches and don’t take anything too seriously.

2. Ding-dong-ditch is the G.O.A.T. hotel game and TLC are the best at playing it

After we ate some delicious snacks in the hotel room, Chilli asked us, “Y’all wanna knock on some doors?” I didn’t expect the game to be as fun as it was. We were very loud and very obnoxious. Apologies to the St. Regis Hotel!

Chilli and T-Boz mentioned that Left Eye was the best at the game, but she’d sometimes get the girls in trouble by marking her territory in front of hotel doors by drawing an eye with a line under it.

Oh, I also showed them my old Left Eye halloween costume, which I wore only for about 20 minutes in 2011 because I ate an edible for the first time and lost my mind. They laughed.

3. Chilli is health-goals

I showed up to the function with a bottle of cabernet, and Chilli was not having it. She let me drink it, but she didn’t hold her tongue about the impact the “Devil’s Juice” — as she calls it — has on our livers. No one else wanted a glass, but I still drank my wine! Sorry, liver!

I’m not sure if Chilli is vegetarian, pescatarian, or vegan, but I do know her ability to defy aging is because she’s incredibly fit and healthy.

I’m sure genetics has a lot to do with it, but, listen, she is basically a timeless human plant, and that’s not just genes.

At one point during the slumber party, we all went to Whole Foods to grab food and snacks, and Chilli read the labels on everything. She knew which water had the best alkalinity, and she introduced us to a yummy dairy-free ice-cream bar.

I don’t see myself giving up fried chicken, but I do see myself committing to a healthier lifestyle. Thanks, Chilli!

4. Sometimes the best slumber parties involve separate rooms

We each had our own rooms, but spent the majority of the night together in a room designated for the party.

We spent a total of about 6 hours together, and called it a night after watching Amityville: The Awakening. In hindsight I think the movie might’ve been pretty bad, but with TLC’s hilarious commentary and banter, it was really fun to watch.

After the movie ended, we hugged and said our goodbyes. I went back to my room, made myself a warm bath, put on a face mask, and poured myself a little more of the “Devil’s Juice.”

Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins is on DAYS OF OUR LIVES — But Who is Sheila?

days-bonnie-sheila

Viewers of DAYS OF OUR LIVES can be forgiven for thinking that the actress playing ex-con Sheila looks familiar. That’s because she’s Tionne Watkins, better known as T-Boz, one-third of the popular R&B girl group TLC who had multiple hits in the ‘90s like “Waterfalls” and “No Scrubs.”

Watkins made her debut in November of 2016 as hardened prison inmate Sheila, who made life difficult for Hope when she was sentenced for the murder of Stefano DiMera. Hope had some support from fellow inmate Hattie Adams, who was imprisoned after being framed by her boyfriend for embezzlement.

After fellow inmate Chille was murdered, Hope tried to get the upper hand on Sheila and her partner, Coco, but they ambushed and stabbed her! Luckily, Hope recovered and was eventually freed.

The Grammy winner returned to DAYS beginning in September of 2017 when Sheila was seen once more, still behind bars but celebrating her imminent release.

Bonnie asked her to take a message to Justin Kiriakis after she got out, but when Sheila arrived at the mansion, she quickly put two and two together and realized that Bonnie had switched places with her double and was comfortably residing in the lap of luxury while Adrienne was the one who was really stuck in prison!

Bonnie covered for Sheila’s appearance by claiming she was there to interview to be the new maid, and Sheila agreed to take the job but demanded money to keep her silence about Bonnie’s scheme.

Sheila wasn’t really interested in doing any work, and Bonnie was struggling to put the cash together for her. So the con returned to the prison to visit Adrienne and tell her she never shared the message.

Adrienne warned her she couldn’t trust Bonnie, but Sheila wasn’t bothered. Things took an interesting turn when Sheila ran into Eli in Horton Square and Gabi was surprised to learn that the two were old friends from back in the day.

Sheila’s cushy job as a maid that doesn’t really do much work at the Kiriakis mansion will come to a swift end when Bonnie’s scheme is eventually uncovered, but this connection to Eli could keep her in Salem for a bit longer.

How long will T-Boz be on DAYS? Stay tuned as the story unfolds to find out!
