So Sorry Bobbi Kris…

Two years after her death, Whitney Houston’s got yet another face: this time, according to a report, it’s going to be “America’s Next Top Model” alumnus Yaya DaCosta playing the late superstar in a previously announced Angela Bassett directed,  “Whitney” Lifetime biopic.

TVLine reports that DaCosta, whose past film and television credits include “Lee Daniels’ The Butler,” “All My Children,” “House,” and “Ugly Betty,” will portray a young Houston as she navigates her rise to fame amid her infamously tumultuous relationship with songwriter Bobby Brown.

  1. Yaya was my favorite on ANTM back in the year that she lost to Eva. She is so lovely and smart too. I hope she does the role justice.

    #good choice Angela– helping another Ivy League sista out!

    • YAY YAYA! SHE WAS MY FAVORITE ON ANTM AS WELL! I THOUGHT SHE SHOULD HAVE WON! I STOPPED WATCHING AFTER THAT DIDN’T HAPPEN! EXCELLENT CHOICE! TRUE SISTA INDEED! #TEAMYAYA

  2. And YaYa practice the religion yoruba so she should very focused for the role

  3. Good for her. I think Yaya can pull this off better than Bobbi Kris could. At least she is a working actress who respects herself. Shell do Whitney proud,

  4. Golden Broks of a Girldfriends shoulda have a shot at that role. She has the looks and attitude or pull it off

    • You come from the line of a Homo named Ham.You should feel very proud.Ask that Homo Ham about our Father Shem.Now since you’ve disclosed yourself as a stinking Hamite I’m going to run you off this site like I did to that other fraud blood drinker African coon.

      • You’re not Jacky Jasper/HSK & so you don’t have the ability to run anybody of this site except you’ve been given the rights by Jacky/HSK. “Never argue with fools for they will drag you DOWN to their level & beat you with experience”—>MARK TWAIN…you’re not worth the time nor have the intellectual capabilities that would necessitate a dialogue, so my dear go on and wallow in your self hate/love. Your stupidity has no effects on the synergy of life…

    • YaYa’s Dad is Brazilian which makes her a Israelite so stop claiming the Daughters Of Zion”as filthy Hamites like yourself you piece of shit!!

      • Ya Ya ain’t no f*cking Hamite.GTFOH you dirty Halite.A African woman can only wish she looked as good as YaYa are any black American woman.

  5. BA, how is that self-hate treating you? Any closer to suicide? Like Ruckus, you’ll find out someday that you are 102% African with a two percent margin of error. I wonder which you’ll choose: Bullet, poison, hemp-rope, blade, cliff, tall building, fast-moving vehicle, suicide-by-cop……..luckily your options are rather unlimited

    • Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge because they have rejected knowledge so I will also reject thee.

      • 102%African lol.A African wished they had the style
        and Swagger of the Son Of Shem.Continue believing the lies the white man taught you that you’re a African.He also taught you Jesus was white and we both know that’s a lie. If he lies about that why would you think he’d teach you the truth about whom you really are genetically.

    • Why haven’t your African brothers and sisters came to help you in America? When the last time they spoke up about the injustices that you face here in america? Africans get their own communities here in America away from black americans ask yourself why.

      • How incredibly petty. Like Africans don’t have enough of their own problems to deal with. And maybe they live separately because they don’t want to be on the receiving end of the self-hate coons such as yourself project on others. Also I don’t remember the Hispanics you love so much coming to your rescue, either, you ignoramus.

  6. Destroyed for lack of knowledge? Hmmm…..so what has a lack of intellect got you? Pride of place in a coon-cult? An HSK pulpit? Funny how you cuss and spew filth one second and quote scripture the next. Not very stable now, are we? Get help, BA. And please DO NOT procreate.

  7. But you seem to have no problem quoting the White man’s translation of the bible. Stupid much, eh, BA? As Daisy Dooks once said (paraphased): ‘You are a shame to your ancestors’. Your progenitor would have jumped off that ship and drowned had he/she known an aberration such as yourself would show up down the line; a coon filled with self-loathing and positively grateful for centuries of rape and humiliation.

    • White man Translation?KingJames was a Blackman so what the hell are you talking about.Ask yourself,why would a whiteman allow Jesus yo be describe as a Blackman in his white Bible?Does that make any sense to you?You are brainwashed.

      • Contrary to the lies this white society have taught you all of the prophets written in the Bible were black Israelite men.The bible is the history and book of the Israelites and condemns all others including the white man and the stinky African.

  8. LOL…saying this BS over and over doesn’t make it so, BA. You are NOT an Isrealite. But let’s assume for the purposes of argument that you were, wouldn’t Deut. 23:7 apply to you? You reckless, hateful, ignorant imbecile. You distort the bible and history to your own hate-filled ends, and you’ve turned HSK to your little street corner where you regurgitate your backyard theories like so many of your fellow cult-members do in the real world. Yet a basis for your ‘message’ you have none, except for bible verses taken out of context and your YouTube School of Crackpot History degree. Either way, BA, we see right through your posturing to the lost and utterly misguided individual underneath.

    • I so love you my Israelite bronze skinned sister thanks for your kindness.Being lied to constantly can make one alittle Docile.

  9. Good YaYa is too damn gorgeous. Even if she couldn’t act through a paper bag I would watch it just to see her.
