Despite having over 20 years of hits to their name, millions of albums sold, and even recently wrapping up a successful leg of their comeback tour, TLC‘s recent public appearances have only seen them bombarded with questions about pop princess Rihanna.

After being slammed by the ‘Where Have You Been’ bleater on Twitter for an assumed diss, the singers – namely lead songstress T-Boz – have been fending off attack from Ri’s faithful #Navy.

No stranger to cyberbullying after Beyonce‘s #Beyhive and Nicki Minaj‘s #Barbz both lent the ‘Unpretty’ performer an abundance of not-so-well-wishes, T-Boz recently took to TheDailyHelpLine to weigh in on the topic of bullies and a host of other hot topics and current events.

Check in at the 1 minute mark to see her thoughts on Ri and that “incident”…

    • gina July 16, 2014

      U right about that. beyonce and rihanna are irrelevant when it comes to TLC.

      Legend.

  2. The Truth Emeritus July 16, 2014

    Bloop! TBoz is still a class act after 22 years in this business with unmatched sales and chart positions. She and TLC are iconic and will never be duplicated.

    • B July 16, 2014

      Thank you! TLC are legends. These singers these days will be known for nothing in a few years.

    20 / 20 PART 1 3.9WW
    PART 2 1.5WW
    DONT ADD 6WW SORRY FACTS ARE FACTS

    • GoodMusicLover July 16, 2014

      That equals 5.4 with shipments it probably comes in around 5.8/5.9 at the most

      • FAF July 16, 2014

        ok??? do u think he’ll never move 100k? y’all should know by now RIAA counts SHIPMENTS

        look how many artists have albums from before the soundscan era that weren’t selling as much as reported. Now they cling to “200M ww” when if they came out today, their albums tally would be much less

  4. yonce July 16, 2014

    TLC are lengends. That is fact that one not even rihanna or beyonce can take away from them. But all our livung legend should learn to stay on their lane. What is tlc bussinss if people choose to call beyonce bey, queen bey or whatever they feel like? it like beyonce saying rihannna fans to stop calling her riri. What was the use of the shade they threw on nicki minaj and how convient that they made a statment on women going naked just when rihanna’s dress was making the news. my point is LENGENDS should respect themselve if they don’t want insults. Stop having an opionon on peoples lifes. i still love tlc tho

    • FAF July 16, 2014

      w/ Nicki that was petty but Chilli didn’t do it, it was T Boz

      nobody is mad about rhianna

      but when they speak on something regarding women feeling they have to be naked to sell records, ofcourse she feels offended bc she’s the main one who does it

      pulling up her shirt @ world cup (for what? u not brazilian)

      tweeting #freepalestine & then deleting it (for attention

      like social media got her gassed and its obvious bc before 2007 she really wasn’t s***

  5. Stephy July 16, 2014

    20 years of hits to their name? Legends? Really?…
    .
    TLC only had a good 7 year run (due to spaced out album releases) and they only produced a good 3 or 4 big hits. Mostly, from their CRAZY S*** COOL era. How does that equal to a 20 year run of hits? Also, y are we calling every artist from 20 years ago a legend when their receipts are so far from being on a the legends panel. O——-K… Anyways, she is a classy woman & I respect what she said. This whole LEGEND name getting thrown around to every artist from the past is overrated. Aliyah nor TLC are legends…

    • Did Ya say Justin Bieber,Beyoncè,Miley,Lady Gaga,One Direction,Rita Ora,Sam Smith,Lil Kim or Austin Mahone? July 16, 2014

      aalyah isnt a legend buh tlc are…

      • FAF July 16, 2014

        but they could afford to space out their hits because they’re LEGENDS

        rihanna could never hence her dropping every year and when she doesn’t, she’s on tour or twitter beefing though sis

        nobody gonna remember her songs.. what was her 5th #1? she didn’t write it, so it meant nothing

        anyone who has to have “NEW SOUNDS” for each album doesn’t have any hand in the preparation of the songs

        thats how she stays “current” a new haircut & color & a new fashion style, a new fck buddy & a new enemy

    • truth (icki is FLOPN every got damn ft she on chile..she FLOPN careers.. Kc, FM and CICI is proof) July 16, 2014

      Omg biitch STFU!!!

    • Mimi Carey July 16, 2014

      Spill tea sis

    • Tea Spilt. July 16, 2014

      they are the biggest selling girl group of the 90s decade. They were the first girl group to hit Diamond status and currently the only R&B girl group to have that Honor in the United States. They are the best selling American girl group period and second world wide behind the spice girls. If TLC aren’t legends and are flops, what does that make every other R&B girl group that came before or after them?

      • Mimi the whale July 16, 2014

        No the spice girls are get your facts straight

      • whut July 16, 2014

        The Spice Girls are the biggest selling worldwide. TLC are the biggest selling US. Read Tea spilt’s comment again.

    • LOL July 16, 2014

      LOL TLC IS THE BIGGEST SELLING GIRL GROUP OF ALL TIME, BYTCH. THAT’S CALLED BEING LEGENDS.

      DON’T BE MAD CUZ SLAVEONCE AND HER FELLOW DESTINY MAIDS WILL ALWAYS BE THEIR SERVANTS. YOU CAN SIT NOW LOL.

    • Brian310 July 16, 2014

      The fact that you brought Aaliyah up when she has NOTHING to do with this post just shows how pressed you are and how she is definitely a 90s legend otherwise you wouldn’t have bothered to bring her up.

      • IStanForYourFav July 16, 2014

        She always discredits Aaliyah. She just a hater. Can’t decide who her fav is bc one minute he lives for Mariah, the next he’s calling her fat and saying she has no talent. IDK how anyone could take Stephy serious.

  6. Mimi Carey July 16, 2014

    No one gives a s*** about TLC. They’re only relevant when shading other artists

    • Mimi the whale July 16, 2014

      Yeah the same way nobody gives a sh!t about mariah hence why nobody is buying her flop of an album

    • Tea Spilt. July 16, 2014

      Again they are the biggest selling girl group of the 90s decade. They were the first girl group to hit Diamond status and currently the only R&B girl group to have that Honor in the United States. They are the best selling American girl group period and second world wide behind the spice girls. If TLC aren’t legends and are irrelevant flops, what does that make every other R&B girl group that came before or after them?

    • LOL July 16, 2014

      LOL AND FLOPRIAH IS ONLY RELEVANT WHEN SHE’S GETTING DRAGGED ON THE CHARTS LOL

  7. xedos July 16, 2014

    I trust no sales numbers before sound scan. The internet is the great equalizer. before the internet she could talk s*** and get away with it because she was the celebrity with the internet the bully pulpit is for everyone. the playing field is level.

    • LOL July 16, 2014

      LOL UM, SOUNDSCAN STARTED IN 1991.

      TLC DEBUTED IN 1992.

      YOU CAN SIT NOW LOL.

  8. LOL July 16, 2014

    LOL THE FLEAS CAN SIT AND STFU. TLC ARE GIRL GROUP LE-GENDS, UNLIKE THAT CIRCUS ACT THAT H0 JAY Z MARRIED USED TO BE A PART OF.

    SLAVEONCE AND DESTINY’S MAIDS WILL ALWAYS BE THEIR DOORMATS. SO HAVE SEVERAL AND HELP THEM WASH TBOZ’S WINDOWS LOL.

  9. whut July 16, 2014

    The so-called beyhive and navy need to calm their asses down. TBoz has ALWAYS been known for telling it like it is. If you’re getting offended by what she says, then she must be speaking the truth.

    And TLC are and always will be LEGENDS. Just because you’re mad at them doesn’t change history.

  10. Teacher July 16, 2014

    TBoz hun that was over a month ago.. Let It Go!

  11. Molly July 16, 2014

    STEPHY IS RIGHT!!!!!

  12. IStanForYourFav July 16, 2014

    TLC are legends. Spaced out album releases or not, they still are. They had their impact and no one can deny them that. I think this just doesn’t apply to Riri’s Navy, but EVERY fanbase in the world. It shouldn’t matter to you if someone calls Rihanna, B, Janet, Madonna, Mariah, Whitney, or etc a Queen, because you stan for someone else. You all are so brainwashed you can’t see the bigger picture of it all. But I’m done with this subject…

    P.S. TGJ please get rid of that damn Mimi troll. It’s themost troll in the last 2 months now.

  13. Shaan July 16, 2014

    Rihanna needs to stay in her lane and respect her elders.Tbozz needs to stay in her lane and stay in retirement.I can’t with these talented black women always beefing #irrelevant
