Internet personality Funky Dineva had Twitter in a funk after taking to the popular Fox Soul talk show ‘TGIF’ to discuss the rumored pregnancy of singer Halle Bailey, which turned into a verbal smackdown of her older sister Chloe Bailey.
During the heated discussion, Dineva said:
“I don’t like her. Chloe Bailey is so g-ddamn lame.
I’m probably going to catch a lot of backlash for this, but without that makeup she ain’t cute. She should’ve never showed up on that camera with that fat a** face without no makeup. She ain’t cute, [she’s] not believable, so g-ddamn inauthentic – that’s why your sh*t ain’t selling,”
Needless to say, the commentary set off a firestorm of clapbacks in defense of the ‘Have Mercy’ hitmaker. So much so, that it led the 40-year-old gossip blogger (born Quentin Latham) to issue a formal apology at the start of the talkshow’s latest episode.
Hear what he had to say below…
“I 100% stand ten toes down on the fact that I think Chloe Bailey is inauthentic when it comes to her as an artist. I think the sexual image she gives is unbelievable. I think that, in her defending her sister, the whole clapping back thing. I think it was inauthentic.
But I also recognize that that is where my commentary should have started and stopped. I don’t have my head too far up my own a** or so far in my own ego that I can’t recognize the fact that I did cross the line when I started talking about her looks. That was below the belt. It was not necessary and it was non-germain to the story at hand. And for that, I do apologize. So, again, I apologize for going below the belt when referencing Chloe Bailey’s looks. They had nothing to do with the story at hand. This was a learning lesson and I hope to move forward and not repeat it.”
Watch from the 0.28 mark:

Who?! Can someone give him a mirror? Lol
He nor his opinions matter to the overwhelming majority of people. But an apology isn’t going to fix whatever is wrong with him. He needs to figure out why it’s so habitual for him to tear down his own people, especially black women, for no reason.
Typical feminine gay black man
He tears down blk men alot too. I think he’s the definition of misery loves company. Old ugly and very confused.
If more commenters were reasonable and sane like you, this site could have been like what the other Black blogs are now.
Nobody mentions this site when talking about Black blogs and it’s sad they allow such anti-Black negativity in the comments.
QUEEN BEY sent her sh00ters lol
I don’t like to talk about people in that way but I can’t believe he had the nerve to criticize someone’s looks. On top of that, his apology wasn’t worth 2 cents.
Why apologize when ur brand is gossiping and dragging celebrities? Khia has said far worse, and never apologize. This is why I respect her.
Funky Dineva had no business tearing down a young woman that way. Chloe Bailey is beautiful and talented – and at least she’s DOING SOMETHING with her gifts. She’s representing black women in a positive, inspirational manner…
Can “funky dineva” say the same? What’s he done for anybody? Good that he apologized, but it took a backlash to put some sense in that jelly head?
Q can hilarious, but sometimes he goes too far with the hatin’ on black women. Calm all the way down Funky.
The reason is 💰
