Once again, Twitter plays centre stage to celebrity beef. This time, it’s US neo-soul singer Jill Scott and former TLC member, Rozonda ‘Chilli’ Thomas who don’t see eye to eye.
Pride’s August 2011 cover star Jill has never been afraid to lay it all out there as regards her relationship woes. After being single for a while, the singer contemplated the benefits of an open relationship on the social networking site tweeting: “What do you think about open relationships? Been considering. Many friends are making it work. Not sure if I’m that girl but not sure if I’m not. Sometimes there’s an understanding that nobody else gets.” The singer later added, “Ok. Try this, the love of your life cheats and is honest about it. Your life with him/her is everything you want but monogamous. Do you stay? Ima say this. If YOU can handle it, it’s yours to handle. Other people’s judgement matters not in this one life you have. Life is not black & pink.”
As the debate raged on, R&B singer Chilli took particular exception to some of Jill’s comments and entered herself into the debate, commenting: “Hell naw to open relationships!!! Be strong and get the heck outta there! Your life and self respect is depending on it.” Concerned over whatever action Jill might take she later added: “I’m about to call you cuz you can’t be in nobody’s open relationships!! Talk about a horrible situation!!! So answer your phone!!”
What do you think about open relationships? Do you agree with Jill or Chilli?
