    She's lucky her makeup artists are white and not black or African, because I know my people would've long been pissed with her constant movements and forced her to either stay still or do the makeup herself…πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚… And why does it seem like Hollywood female celebrities always being dressed by men?πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”

    Watching this back and realizing I didn’t even know she had on any kind of prosthetic wig, girl what was the point of having them do all of this for you to wear the hood all night? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ that artistry is next level.
