I think porsha is jealous of Shamea
Let's just hope that Porsha does not go after your husband…
shamea seems so genuine and sweet!
Why is she talking to the camera. Girl stop.
Year of Shamea
Shamea really thinks she can sing 😂. It’s starting to get embarrassing with her singing at every interview. Cringe.
Who knew that Shamea is so articulate loaed positive energy and such a lovely person. She is going to be the star of this series and I love that for her
If Shamea uses the platform wisely, she'll excel but she has to be relatable outside of just black culture for her glow up to be massive like it has the potential to be. She's really a star and not fake at all and that's a star quality. Porsha is funny but nothing about her has ever been authentic and real, so she's only a person that you can see at the surface level of everything. Shamea hasn't messed up her face either and I hope she'll stay natural and beautiful.
Shemia very classy speaks very elegant she is that girl, I'm very happy to finally see Shemia's life and what I'm seeing is very real and likeable.
um.. i love her!!!!
i cannot wait for shamea v porsha!!!!

He said let’s be clear “ain’t no finally”
Congratulations ❤❤
not gonna lie I never noticed her on atlanta she just that girl in the background. but in the premier episode she was like a whole new person. Its like somebody finally gave her the mic & she could sing like a superstar. she has a good balance of being flashy but also being down to earth & real. In these short hair looks she also reminds me of Kandi at times.
Because they don’t pay the men…. Why would he do it
