Man Pleads Guilty To False Police Report That Led To…
'As Soon As They Start Hating On You, You Must Be Huge'
Last week photos surfaced of Nia Long's baby belly, and it has now been revealed that basketball player Ime Udoka is the father to the actress's second child.
The two appear to be an item and Long, 40, told People how happy she and Udoka, 33, are to have a child together. "This is the most exciting time in our lives," Long told the magazine. "Words can't explain how thrilled we are by the new addition to our family. We feel truly blessed and appreciate all the well wishes and prayers."
Udoka has played for the Los Angeles Lakers, Portland Trailblazers, Sacramento Kings and most recently the San Antonio Spurs. The baby will be his first and is due this fall.

THAT WAS MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!! TALKING ABOUT ADDITION TO OUR FAMILY....WHAT FAMILY?? UR A BABY MAMA "AGAIN." BLACK STARS ARE GETTING ON MY NERVES THINKING THIS IS THE NEW HOLLYWOOD TREND TO HAVE BABIES OUT OF WEDLOCK AND GLAMOURIZE IT. AND OUR DAUGHTERS LOOK UP TO THESE WOMEN. WE ALL FALL SHORT BUT DON'T ACT AS IF THIS IS THE "NORM." I.E. Jennifer Hudson, Jill Scott, Tichina Arnold,LAURYN HILLLLLLLLLL, let's not forget Kim Porter. ITS SO EMBARASSING..AND THEY THINK IT'S "CUTE." COME UP A LIL HIGHER BLACK WOMEN WITH INFLUENCE.

Totally agree, and I am certainly not hating on, nor have hate for Nia, I actually like her, but like many like her, they disappoint me and let down our young ladies. Question. What's wrong with getting married first? I'm just not getting it. No, a marriage doesn't guarantee anything, but at least it's a step in the right direction and is what God recognizes as His ONLY institution whereby a couple are officially joined together, not common law, not because you were too stupid to hold out for marriage or leave. Why won't we make our men accountable to us? And if you're saying you want a gang of kids with no complete family, well, your issues are far deeper than just being a baby's mama. We have such a beautiful, and talented array of intelligent, successful black women, wh don't seem to do anything but settle. If I can't have what I want, I'll settle for second best. Then we have those who put up a brave face, and justify such shenanigans. While I am also upset with our men, and their inability to make a committment to their families, I am holding women accountable, for allowing it to continue to happen. Anyone having sex should know, the possibility of becoming knocked up can be very apparent. PROTECT yourselves and give your child/children what they deserve. A loving, not perfect, two parent, man and woman home!

smdh..she's another one that's becoming your typical baby-making machine having babies by different men. sad. then this same slut got the nerve to downgrade actors who basically didn't come from what we call "a person who is born to act" world, such as a rapper or a singer. if any person exploits the skills and the talent to act, whether they are a singer, rapper, garbage collector or whatever, let them branch out and try instead of telling them that they need to stay in their lane. and yeah, that's basically what she had said awhile back in so many words in a previous article related to her and her take on "rappers who can't act." b*tch please, and I never like this baby-making machinist because she has a major attitude which needs immediate adjustment, when she ain't even an "A-list celeb."

You ladies need to stop hating. There is not enough room in the world for more hate. If you have problems finding love in the world, don't hate on someone else. What matters is they are both happy and remember if you don't have something good to say about someone. keep it to your self, we don't want to hear your whinning, we have enough of that also.

Linda,
I agree that the world does not need more hate, but some of the above comments were simply highlighting the fact that Black Women being Baby Mamas is not a good look. Yes, I know other ethnic groups have them, too, but we are speaking in specific about Black Women. Family structure is important. Nia Long can do whatever she desires, she is a grown woman, and one of my favorite actresses, but getting married and then providing a great stable home environment, etc., for the child, is best. Just check out the stats on black juvenile crimes; check the interviews with juvenile delinquents (they express they wish they had a family structure, not just a baby mama). So, no one is hating. Just because some expresses their point of view that may be unfavorable doesn't mean it's hating. Think about it!

@Kelly, I pesonally do not have any daughter(s), and the point I was making was not for my personaly family and personal self, it was a message to us as a community. So when I say daughters..I mean within the "african american community." This problem is bigger than me. I have to think about "our daughters" meaning african american children who are so impressionable. parents are role models but we're talking about black women with a platform and influence. There is not many of us standing in that position, a very unique position in life so let's come up a little higher in our mentality. People don't confuse open dialouge with hatin', there is a big diffrence.

When black men start actually asking black women to marry them.
As it is, there are just too many black women for the number of non-incarcerated black men. Furthermore, 20% of black men marry non-black women. So single black women vastly outnumber single black men.
Studies show that when women outnumber men, marriage rates drop for the entire group as a whole. You cannot blame black women for wanting to have families in an environment where men are simply not choosing them to marry.

@K: I love Nia Long as an actress. But I'm with you; where's the responsibility?? They need to stop glamourizing babies out of wedlock. If someone doesn't want to marry me; why in the hell would I want to have a baby with them!!? I don't get it.
