Chilli Promises Kim Kardashian and North West Front Row TLC Seats

TLC have been getting along well with The Kardashians in recent months. Following their collaboration with Khloe Kardashian and her size-inclusive fashion line, Good American, back in October 2022, Khloe’s niece North West, decided to pay homage to the group by dressing up as them for Halloween, recreating the iconic “No Scrubs” video!

T-Boz and Chilli both adored the tribute and reposted the clips on their social media platforms, to which North’s mother Kim Kardashian thanked them for, later posting a video of herself singing “Waterfalls” with her daughter on TikTok.

Speaking with Australia’s The Project in November, Chilli revealed that shortly after the social media posts she and Kim started to direct message each other and seemed to be forming a new friendship. “Kim tagged me [and Tionne] and I DM’d [direct messaged] her, and we started talking”, Chilli said. “I told her that I would get North some TLC merchandise for kids, and she let North send me a little voice message and she said hello”.

Kim then showed interest in coming to the next TLC show with one stipulation — she wants the best seats in the house! “Kim and I talked about her coming to the next show and she said, ‘and I want front row seats!'”, Chilli reveals. “That’s what she said, and yes, she will absolutely have that! If you don’t ask — you have to ask!”

Working relationships between TLC and The Kardashians have occurred in the past. Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins once worked alongside Khloe Kardashian in 2009 on NBC’s ‘Celebrity Apprentice‘. T-Boz and Khloe worked well together and won the challenge that bagged $10,000 for T-Boz and her chosen charity, the Sickle Cell Disease Foundation of Georgia. Although they were both unfairly fired by Donald Trump the following week, their all-female Team Athena did them justice and won the show.

We look forward to seeing Kim and North share their TLC front row experience in the near future!

Monica Recreates Left Eye’s Mugshot For Halloween and T-Boz Shares Story Behind The Dress

R&B superstar Monica went viral on social media on Oct 30, 2022 when she posted her Halloween outfit on her pages, posing as TLC‘s Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes‘ mugshot after being arrested for arson in 1994 for burning the mansion of her then boyfriend Andre Rison.

Monica posted a picture of the VIBE cover that TLC took part in, posing as firefighters to let the world know that the members of TLC knew how to poke fun at themselves and would not be offended of situations like Left Eye’s arson incident being highlighted for Halloween.

TLC member Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins saw the post and gave Monica her approval as well as sharing a story about why Left Eye was wearing the floral dress she had on, which wasn’t her usual style. “Haaaaaaaa U crazy love it!!!!”, T-Boz replied on the post. “Funny story I dressed her that day…. And My Mama Said Why U Give Her That Ugly Ass Dress… And I Said That’s What She Picked”, T-Boz continued. “But Like WHY Did I Hv That Dress In The First Place lol Miss My Sister. Funny… U Did That”.

Monica was delighted with the response from T-Boz and shared the humor in the story behind Left Eye’s floral dress before sharing why she loves the ladies of TLC. “OMG YOU’RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DRESS… I can hear Ms Gayle saying this”, Monica exclaims. “And why did you have it? But ok ok lol I LOVE U!”.

Monica went on to explain to T-Boz what TLC has done for her over the years. “Watching you all work was so impactful to me as a child but your continued support then always helped me stay on track! Both yours and Lisa’s ability to stay true to who you are left a mark of authenticity and humility on me that I’ve kept close to my heart for decades!”

Although some fans found the portrayal distasteful, it was worth noting that Monica grew up in the industry with TLC and was very close to the members of the group, and was signed to the same label Arista Records.

Other celebrities also chimed in to show what they thought of Monica’s Left Eye Halloween 2022 outfit. Cardi B said Monica ‘Bodied’ the look, Jermaine Dupri reacted with a “Wow!!!”, Ludacris added laughing emojis and Fat Joe wrote, “My girl.”

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West‘s daughter North West also paid homage to TLC this year. North and her friends decided to recreate the iconic “No Scrubs” music video, with North playing the role of Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas.

Responding to the super cute video, Chilli excitedly wrote, “#demtlcbabies nailed it!!!”, before also calling the recreation “toooo cuuute” in her Instagram story. T-Boz followed when she also shared it and wrote, “yyyyyyyeeeee. Okayyyyyy PrettyGirls … #NorthWest And Her Girls Smashed #TLC This Halloween @kimkardashian #demTLCGirls #DemTLCbabies Love The Love #tboz #Tbeezy #Nori”

The official TLC account also posted about the little superstar trio, sharing the same TikTok in a series of Instagram stories. “Yes! Looking incredible ladies!” the caption read. The account also said North West and her friends “nailed it,” before calling them “soo cute.”
