Nia Long Keeps It Real On Beyonce's Acting

Pride Magazine interview Nia Long for a cover story, and Nia long talks about singers becoming actresses. Nia Long was basically asked about the movie about "Obsessed", what was her opinion on it? Nia Long says "If you're a singer, not an actress, you should sing. If you're a rapper, you should rap." "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.'" "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." "If you take time to develop your craft, God bless you. Jamie Foxx is an example of both." That Is true cause If Ashanti, Keyshia Cole, Keri Hilson, or Beyonce was In a movie alot of us would want to watch It I know I would.
