Famed actress and “Single Ladies” star LisaRaye sat down with TheYBF.com for an exclusive conversation about the third season of her hit VH1 show, the sensational fashions she’ll be wearing and whether marriage is in her future or not.  More inside….

 

As fans of VH!’s dishy-original series, “Single Ladies” prepares for a third season (premiering Monday, January 6, 2014 at 9PM ET/PT), TheYBF.com caught up with leading actress LisaRaye, a single lady herself, and dished on the changes her character Keisha will go through this season (including a new romance) and her spicy wardrobe.  Lisa also opened up about her failed marriage and not wanting to grow old alone. Here are highlights from our intimate conversation.

LisaRaye on her character Keisha:

She is finally in a solid relationship with Malcolm. They are together and they have confessed their love for each other. She broke him and he broke her and they finally are on even territory so there is a sense of true love. Malcolm does go through some things this season… something major and it takes Keisha to really hold his hand. I am your support.. I am your woman. There is something that happens to a family member that will either tear them apart or make them closer. Also…this season she is helping Raquel in the boutique this season. She has a rich man so she has the time to help her friend out.

On “Single Ladies” fashion and her personal style:

As a character I wear all kinds of colors, and it allows me to keep up with fashion. How you can put different colors together? Although LisaRaye wears white…..I enjoy seeing to see the combination of what blouse will go with what pant (for my character). As LisaRaye, my accessories are essential. Purse. Shoes. Those are the only parts that are color (that I wear) so they have to be on point.

On Anthony (the “Single Ladies” stylist):

Anthony is doing the clothes this year and he is doing a wonderful job. He is getting to do what he does and that is playing dress up with 3 Barbie dolls. We are all shaped differently and we all bring something to the table. He puts all different labels on us and just play. I enjoy it… it is a fantasy thing for me.

On dating and wanting to get married again:

No I am not dating. I want to be married again… I cannot wait to get in a committed relationship. It is just easier to fight life with a life partner. And then I don’t want to grow old by myself. I want to explore life with someone. I want to start dating the man I am supposed to marry too. But I am not “over” excited about it. I am waiting for him to come … patiently. I know that when I was looking for my significant other (she is divorced from Former Turks and Caicos Islands Premier Michael Misick) I didn’t do it right… cause if I did ….I would still be with him now. I got my list like everybody else but whomever God puts in my life and I get that feeling… that “ahhhhhh” feeling….I am waiting for that feeling. A real friend.

On romance and rumors:

People are always putting me in a relationship with anyone they just see me with. I am not going to make my relationship a secret. That will be a happy time of my life.

On interracial dating:

I went to Italy and fell in love with EVERYTHING about it.

On returning to reality tv:

I am in talks right now for a new reality show that I am going to do! It is different and it is positive of course. Everything I do is going to be positive. No info on any deets yet.

On her daughter:

She is always going to be my baby. I still get sensitive. When I think of her as a baby. She was my best friend. She changed my life for the better. She made me more of a woman. More responsible. She made me want to do more. She gave me a second chance at life.

 

Season 3 premieres Monday, January 6, 2014 at 9PM ET/PT. Check out the extended first look HERE.

Dee-1 Calls Raheem DeVaughn To “Purify My Eyes”

Fresh off his Breakfast Club appearance after having “Lines Drawn” with help from Billboard and successfully migrating From The Hood To Harvard, NOLA native Dee-1 taps Soul singer/songwriter Raheem DeVaughn for “Purify My Eyes.” Continuing his theme of counter-culture centered messaging the timely track, which was produced by Anonymous, urges listeners to replace images of corruption and cynicism with lifegiving content to reprogram our thinking for the better.

“This is easily one the most important songs I have ever done because it provides Hip-Hop with a solution-based perspective meant to combat some of the problems we face as a culture. It’s honest, raw, and transparent. I’ve been friends with Raheem Devaughn for a long time, so to finally collaborate on a song feels great. When I played the record for him, he fell in love with it and instantly added his parts; which took the song to another level,” say’s the David Found His Slingshot author in a exclusive statement to Medium Creative Agency.

Award-winning rapper. educator, host, activist, business owner, and keynote speaker are synonymous with Louisiana’s Dee-1. The Nasir “Nas” Jones Hip Hop Fellow at Harvard University is a Billboard Top 10 charting, game-changing MC with a persona to match his penmanship. He’s transitioned from being a middle school math teacher in The Boot to a Hip-Hop heavyweight with much more to accomplish. He has released 10 albums and 21 projects thus far in his career.

Dee-1’s music is part of a bigger lifestyle movement called Mission Vision, which centers around three core principles: Be Real. Be Righteous. Be Relevant. In 2020, Dee received the prestigious NAACP “Power of Influence Award,” highlighting his community activism and commitment to inspiring the youth. In 2021, he was nominated for an Emmy Award for his work on “The Manhattan Project,” but he lost to Michelle Obama. Later that year, Dee was appointed to the “Louisiana Council for the Success of Black Men and Boys” by Governor John Bel Edwards, making him the first rapper in Louisiana history to become a governor’s appointee.

After addressing critics and fans alike in the official music video for the Danny Beats-produced single for “Lines Drawn” and following his viral interview on Sway In The Morning centered around industry hypocrisy, Emmy-nominated educator turned entertainer Dee-1 released his latest project to date From The Hood To Harvard. The 8-track body of work includes guest features from Skyy Brooks as well as P3RK and is anchored by supporting records “Impostor Syndrome” & “Dr. Freshh.”
