Mos Def's Ex Wife Pens Tell-All

1. Give me a freaking break, I hate it when ex-spouses out their business in the streets. It is so juvenile...."you hurt me, so I am going to tell all of our business" that is so petty. No one is perfect, but if Mos Def chose to write a 'tell all' I bet she would have plenty to say. The man who said people will do anything for the almighty dollar was correct.

2. People don't need to know your business.. It's sad that people act like they're doing things to help others.

5. I don't quite get it...I read the excerpt and she describes this monster of a man as being 6ft. plus and weighing 240 lbs. Well, that obviously is not Mos Def...though, it's possible he stands that tall, he certainly isn't over 200lbs. Have the names and descriptions been changed to protect the innocent?

6. Obviously, there are a lot of "independent" women out there who are capitalists when it comes to relationships and they will capitalize on you if you let them. Mos Def is one of the few rappers I got love and respect for and its a shame when women want to make their independence by depending on our black male celebrities.

We as a people need to stop using each other. This is ridiculous...

7. I'm not wasting my hard earning $$$$$ on a $20-$30 "STUPID TELL ALL BOOK"! There are people that are going through DRAMA in their lives, why do they want to add THIS TO THEIR DRAMA? It something, how all these "EX'S" break-up and have to LIE AND TELL ALL DIRT ABOUT THE OTHER, SO THAT THEY CAN GET RICH OFF OF! Instead of her taking her FRUSTRATIONS out on MOS DEF, she needs to do something CONSTRUCTIVE IN A POSITIVE WAY, and GET OVER HIM! You all feel me?

8. I so sick of these tell all books. I feel that it's the only way the authors can make a living comparable to the one that's being left behind (after the divorce, end of career, etc, etc,). If the woman was truly independent then write a tell all book on how to be independent not how to air someone else's dirty laundry and tarnish their name. There's an old saying, "Hurt people, hurt people." take it with a grain of salt.

9. A lot of Black men aren't trying to marry sisters as it is. Then here we go again with another put a celebrity's business in the streets book. Our society is at the point that the rich and famous need to have legal documents that state their ex's cannot put their business in the streets for profit.

On a final note, famous Black men SHOULD know by now that they need to leave trash like Karrine Steffens in street. At this point, she shouldn't be putting any DECENT man on blast

10. From just reading those few pages, the book seems to be all over the place.

11. I started to read the excerpt and I'm sorry that book seems borinnnnnnnnnnnnnng! I couldn't even finish it. I think Mos Def is a very talentd black man. I think I might even marry him one day!

12. I read the excerpt and it is a bad reading.. She should have someone proof read that sucker... Not good, not good at all... I think she should find another line of work.. I really would not buy this book.. Not to mention they were only marry for a year if I am not mistaken, what can you possibly have to say.

13. Yes, I totally agree with Khalilah. This is not good, I couldn't even follow what she was saying from one sentence to the next! I don't know much about Mos Def, but I pray he survives the haters.

14. I was going to attack Mos Def's old girl, but why? She wrote the book and that's all the damage she can do. The people who offer this book as a celebration of life or a triumph of good over evil are wrong. That drew my attention to this "Felicia Pride." Isn't she offering the same old hateful books as something to celebrate? Girls can be haters too, but when a Girl learns to hate it's for life. Society tries to call these acts of hate "Felonies." Focus on real triumphs and stop making women so bitter. The more you write, the more you start to sound like Oprah! Is this your real name? Stop hating.

15. It's o.k. to self-publish, but girlfriend needed a good editor. In the first or second sentence there was a mistake. She's not a writer and she should have reached out for help.
