WATCH: Amanda Seales Says She Does Not Feel Protected by Issa Rae

Amanda Seales Says She Does Not Feel Protected by Issa Rae

Amanda Seales is the latest person to hit Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay and speak her mind. During her visit to the podcast, Seales states that she does not feel protected by Issa Rae.

Seales appeared on Insecure with Issa Rae and revealed how their relationship went south during an Emmys party called the Black Emmys, which Issa was part of planning. Seales stated there was an issue between Seales and her publicist, but Issa Rae would not get involved in the matter. The following year, Seales stated she promoted the party and attended with Insecure co-star Kendrick Sampson but was stopped from entry by a woman who was “white-passing.”

Later in the conversation, Seales says, “I know Issa is doing something within this business that so few people get to do. I know her role is very important and so I’ve always protected Issa. However, there’s been enough instances at this point where I should’ve been protected by Issa and I wasn’t.”

She added, “My protecting of Issa is being turned on me and is something being used against me.”

You can hear it all from Amanda Seales below.

Sexyy Red Teases Pregnancy: 'Team Boy or Team Girl'

Is Sexyy Red pregnant? The rap star went to her hometown of St. Louis to perform alongside SZA. Sharing pictures from backstage, Sexyy Red dropped two pictures with a question: Team boy or Team girl? Sexyy Red would also showcase a baby bump.

Before the announcement, Raedio dropped the video for Sexyy Red’s “No Panties” single that will be featured in the season two soundtrack of Rap Sh!t.

The highly anticipated soundtrack for Season 2 of Rap Sh!t has been officially announced by Raedio. This soundtrack, set to release on Nov. 3, will precede the premiere of Season 2, created by Issa Rae, scheduled for Nov. 9.

The mixtape, curated by Raedio and released via Raedio/Def Jam, features original music from the series performed by lead characters Shawna & Mia (Aida Osman & KaMillion), as well as contributions from artists like Rico Nasty, Kaliii, Maiya The Don, and more. The project also boasts writing contributions from Guapdad 4000, NCognita, Suni MF, and production by renowned producers like Danja, Bankroll Got It, and HitKidd.

The first single, “No Panties,” is already available and showcases the talents of Sexyy Red in a bold and unapologetic southern rap anthem, produced by YA & Snacks of The Breed. It encourages listeners to hit the dancefloor and embrace their most unapologetic selves.

“I’m happy that I got to work on ‘No Panties’ for Rap Sh!t,” said Sexyy Red. “It’s just me having fun on the beat and talking my sh*t. It’s just like the show: the rap girls running this sh*t.”
