Former Flava of Love winner Deelishis covers Sister2Sister magazine this month. Deelishis graces the March 2008 cover locked in an embrace with an apparently openly down low man.
Her new man, who she says she met while at a promotional event in Detroit, has more diamonds adorning his neck and wrist than she does. Then there’s that delicate butterfly tattoo on his right arm that screams flyboy.
It’s not for me to try to guess what seemingly strong, independent women like Star Jones and Deelishis see in feminine men. Maybe it’s the fact that they are so much more in touch with their feminine side than thugs are.
Jamie: Are you in a relationship with anyone now?
Deelishis: I am.
Jamie: Is he known or not known?
Deelishis: No, he’s not known. He’s a very nice gentleman that I met by chance. It was
really nice. I was actually doing a promotional event at home, in Detroit, and I met him.
Jamie: What does he do?
Deelishis: He owns a club, he owns a real estate company, and he also owns a landscaping
company. He has a few little businesses. He’s very smart.Jamie: He’s young?
Deelishis: Yeah, he’s young [27 years old]. One thing about him that I really like is
that he supports my career.Jamie: So let me ask you this: were you ever in love with Flav?
Deelishis: I was in love with the idea of being in love with him. I liked him a lot. …
Flav decided that he’d rather risk my friendship and the possibility of a serious,
long-term relationship for the opportunity to do something with 51 Minds Entertainment
and VH1. And he didn’t go about it the right way.
Thanks to Helen at Sister2Sister magazine for the interview copy.

He does look a lil fruity, Deelishis better be careful.
If you were “in love with the idea of being in love with him.”that means you where never really their for him.She just wanted fame just like the rest of those other broads.Yes he does look like a switch hitter but to each his own.
“openly down low” lol, now that’s an oxymoron.
He’s still fine, and why is it that we NEVER see this type of man in the grocery store or just out taking a stroll on the sidewalk…lol?
So you know this brotha personally Sandra? How you go call him out like that?
You being a lesbian think you have the right to toss title but you do not. You say he is openly down low, do tell.
At first, I thought he was Jonathan Plummer (sp), Terry’s ex…seems those clean cut fine guys fall into that same gorgeous mold.
that is not a butterfly, that looks like the mardi gras mask, that one thats sad and the other thats happy
That is not a butterly on his arm. It’s one of those laugh now cry later things… anyway Sandra.. what makes you think he’s gay???
“Deelishis graces the March 2008 cover locked in an embrace with an apparently openly down low man”. sandy-n-da-rose…first off in the article does he admit to being openly gay or on the down low? here you go being messy again!
Anytime a man looks manicured and not like a thug, people are always so quick to call them gay.
He looks straight to me….maybe my gaydar is off today
Sandra, you make NO sense. Its so much easier to talk about someone else’s sexual orientation when you’re not comfortable with your own. Maybe you should hop off Rihanna’s **** and worry about the lack of attention your **** is getting.

“”openly down low” lol, now that’s an oxymoron.”
Me:
That’s exactly what I was thinking when I saw that! LOL!
It’s not for me to try to guess what seemingly strong, independent women like Star Jones and Deelishis see in feminine men.
^^^^
You can throw Terry McMillan into that mix as well. SMDH
Also, how can you be openly DL? haha
Hilarious.
dang these photos are lovely but totally AIRBRUSHED like crazy. well the man is pretty pretty, and he has man boobs…but that doesn’t mean he’s gay. she does need to be careful telling folk all her business tho. keep those relationships a little undercover for a while so folk can stay oucha biz! i hope this guy is real tho. we all want love right?
i do say tho…she acted like she was SOOOOOOOOOO in love with Flav on the show and that she was so right for him…and “booohooohooo Flav i had ur picture by my bed and i’d dream of being with u…and don’t be wit Crazy or NY Flav…i love you!” garbage! man girls can sure lie these days huh???!!! i believe folk 2 much. To me it aint worth it (the lie) if i gotta kiss Flav a monkey Flav! ewwwwwww. :/
I agree with SnootyPooty. Just cause he well kept dont mean he gay. That is their business anyway.
He doesn’t look gay to me. He’s just made-up and airbrushed to within an inch of his life. He’s very attractive to me and I ain’t mad at her. Of course we can all plainly see that is not a butterfly on his arm. Miss Sandra is just cutting up as usual.
I think that’s kind of ??? evil? For lack of a better word to put the gay label on this man without proof. I usually laugh at your subtle/dry/underhanded humor. I know calling this woman a celebrity was your way of doing what you do. And yes I did get a chuckle out of it. Is flyboy a derogatory term? Why would you of all people be using it if so? It disheartens me when my people tear down 1 another. I’m sure, or at least I’d imagine people from your community Sandra feel the same.
The only thing I see when looking at this mans picture is that he looks much older than 27. From his face, to the unfit body. Then again if he’s running several different companies maybe he has no time for superficial worries like working out. Hell I wish my life was that busy.lol. I’d rather be fat and rich vs fit and broke.lol. Not that he’s fat I’m just sayin…
Openly DL Man?Sound like an oxymoron.If you on the DL you would not be open lol.Now about him being allegedly gay.I can’t say because I don’t know him.He’s probably a smart man.But Deelishis just wanted to her name out there and ummmm shooot I would to if I was dating Flava Flav.
He looks tangy to me to Sandra. Hopefully it’s the airbrushining.I just don’t see Deelishis going out like that but she needs to check his credentials b/c he look likes he’s a car carrying member of the pink mafia.lmao
1st of all deelishes is NOT a celebrity! she WAS a tv personality and that’s all she’ll ever be! and 2nd yep that guy does look a little suspect and 3rd that ain’t a butterfly tattoo, it’s those laugh now cry later masks.
Wow this whole thing is crazy cause I thought she was with Busta Rhymes this whole time!! anyway as everyone clearly stated that is not a butterfly!! & Flav said on his new season that she wanted to do her Jeans line so she didn’t have time for him I guess we will never know the truth to that but to me all of this is for show!!! If it’s real then good luck
“Jamie: What does he do?
Deelishis: He owns a club, he owns a real estate company, and he also owns a landscaping company. He has a few little businesses. He’s very smart.”
OKAY…I hope that Deelishis knows that he is a drug dealer. Come on now…owns a club,landscaping company, AND a real estate company???This negro is trying to clean up and hide his money hand over foot.
And NO that is not a butterfly. It is the theatrical faces representing “laugh now, cry later”.
AND..she has pictures of him on her myspace page and he does not look gay. He looks like a drug dealer..I’ve never seen a professional man wearing gold/wood catier glasses!
FINALLY…The photo shoot wasnt a good look at all..really gay looking though I doubt he is! If anything his boys will be clowning him for years to come….LOL…in all Im happy for Deelishis, she appears to be a really nice person!
Dayum SR…everyone is NOT gay!
Ok….1st of all, Deelishis is a whore. yes, i said it. she’s a whore. sorry but she is. horrible example for her daughter… she got on tv, dry humped a monkey to start her own jean company. where i’m from, thats a form of prostitution. 2nd of all…. flav is broke. he’s doin all these installments to pay for those 8 kids & to catch up on his child support payments. Dude doesnt look gay to me. Just a tad off…. I cant place my finger on it right now… but time will tell if deelishis has to write a book about how she found him bent over with flav behind him
Yo Sandra, whomever the **** you are, be very careful bout the **** you put on yo site and how you phrase it.You don’t know my girl Dee like that and fasho you havent a clue about my nigga O. Gay, DL, homo or none of that ole bull**** you tried to title applies here. This dude right here is from a hood in Detroit city where yo block can be clearly knowed off for this type of bull**** and we is not to be ****ed wit. And for these late ****es who find it so easy to hate on Dee and how she not a celebrity, its funny how you cant keep her name out yo mouth, if she aint that well known then why the **** are you still discussing her every move. Get on her level hoes. And if she beneath yo level, then she a strong **** to have brought your curiosity of conversation down to hers. Every mu****a you see well groomed and iced out aint on the gravy train. As for his crew, naw we aint clowning him for being on the cover of a mag, he do what he do,and his wifey’s a cover kinda chick, so we say **** it! But aint the end of the day, like my nephew Jeezy say, you just do you and Im a do me. Get off his **** **** ass bloggs and ****!
Oh and I guess thats why my nigga got that tattoo on his arms for B*tch As$ Ni??As like yoself, It aint no mu****ing butterfly b*tch its a symbol for laugh now, cry later…Detroit 7mile to Belle Isle all day!
Gay or not, I can’t be with a man that spends more time in front of the mirror than I do. It’s just something about a man that is well kept but a little rough around the edges. Both of us don’t need to be crying when we watch Steel Magnolias.
Who cares about her anyway? Let’s talk about the LL article.
That’s not a butterfly tat. It’s a “smile now, cry later” tat.
I wish she would go away, she’s SOOOOOOOO irrelevant.
Deelishis is a celeb? Since when? I must have missed the memo.
Sandra,
I feel sorry for these woman saying that he doesn’t scream GAY! I am with you.. He is sweet as hell!!!
She is a celebrity?

OH MY!! Well I hope they’re happy. =)
Because he has a butterfly tattoo and wears diamond jewelry that means he’s down low. Are you serious. that just plain old ignorant.
And the only thing I got out of this was that Deelishus is dating a wanna be actor (tattoo). Now, he could very well be gay, but I don’t know. He’s not too concerned about his physique (tits) and usually gay men are. Big generalization there, but I mean why can’t he really want Deelishus? She’s not an old shrivled up Star Jones nor is she Crazy Faced Terri McMillan. Nigga might actually want some of that azz.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ALANA SHOULD BE A PI
AND SANDRA ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
YOU ARE NOT GAY
BUT THEN AGAIN, GAY PEOPLE MAKE MORE MONEY THAN STRAIGHT PEOPLE, SO I DEFIANTLY SEE YOUR ANGLE
BTW, THIS POST WAS HILARIOUS
I GIVE IT 5 SNAPS
People just can’t win with you Sandra!! How in the hell can somebody be openly down-low? Your gay yourself. Does that statement even make sense to you? And with all the technology you have around you I know you could have blown the picture up and saw for yourself that he has the theatrical mask tattooed on his arm. Stop starting sh@t!!!
What really happened here Sandra? You tried to holla and she wasn’t with it? Do I sense another Beyonce’ restraining order situation brewing?
@ 4545
Damn…Im from Detroit too (7 mile to be exact) and you sound ignorant as hell…I know you are tryin to look out for ya girl Dee but you are making things worse with all that BS!
4545 says “…NOW YOU TRY TO CLOWN HER WHEN SHE FALLS IN LOVE WITH A REAL OG BEHIND CLOSE DOORS…”
Why behind doors? Is this a closet door? I’m just asking……
@ 4545
Aight…look…..dag nabit! I am all for you biggin’ up your folks, but all this internet thuggin you got going on needs to stop!!! Dee is smart, pretty, and has a banging ass body. Do you know what that means? That somebody is always going to hate on her. And, from what I hear from people from the D that went to high school with her, she’s use to being hated on. So stop telling people to step from behind their pc’s…LOL…..ain’t no need. I’m sure she has about a 1000 haters right now, and she’ll work her way up to 1500 by the summer.
And, if you know her forreal tell her I said good job keeping the haters employeed. ;O)
HEY I LOVE UR BLOG AND I AM A FAN OF DEELISHES SHE IS DOING HER THING AND NO ONE CAN **** WITH HER RIGHT NOW. YALL BLOGGERS NEED TO FALL BACK OF OFF HER. SHE HAPPY AND YALL HATE TO SEE THIS. LET HER DO HER AND U DO YOU.
@4545
you are off the chain in here. I have gotten into internet agruements too, but dang you got me beat. you are straight thuggin it. Come down sweetie. It’s all love.
I like Dee, and I was hoping she was going to win between her and New York. I think her showing her body is no different then some of these video girls and R&B singers. I’m glad if she has found love. I don’t think the guy looks gay. He is very attractive and well kept.
4545
Clearly you were in the 3some they had last night…lol Ur a loser, your girl is a 2 dolla hoe, your guy is sweeter than sweet tea in sweet water texas, and detroit is a slum. Don’t nobody care about your little idle threats and I hope you let that hooker read this..she’d be best invested in keeping her fat ass legs closed and using her winnings to get rid of those keloids. YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL EVENING WITH YOUR **** ASS! LOL
Can’t you tell when Sandra’s just tryin’ to get her hit/comment count up? She obviously graduated top-of-her-class from the **** Institute of Blogism.
this is so sad, i mean why does a brotha who doesnt look like he dug a ditch or just did 10 yrs in the slammer look gay ?
i work in corporate America and i cant go to work with corn rows jersey 5 gold chains sagging jeans and timberlands. i dont know anybody in my office that does. my mother would go because she tells me and my brothers, i didnt raise any thugs. lol if you dont know the brotha personally you just slandered his name.
Who knows if this that is true.
However you do have to question a man who excepts a woman such as Deelishis despite the portrayal of herself in the media.
You have to wonder about his standards, I guess you could say a real man would not embrace that, maybe as a “jump off” but not as a potential partner. It’s suspicious.
here we go. another post i can’t comment cause 4545 (nameless) from the “D” left all this sh*t on the d*mn site…sh*t!
Bsoul….help!
if ur on the dl how r u openly gay, for u to be gay u sure do judge people alot, i feel like the other people feel just bcuz he isnt all thugged out with gold in his mouth doesnt me he is gay. u talk all that ish about how nigg@s is wearing they clothes and how thats disrespectful to women, but when u see a clean cut man he’s gay. u shld really check yourself because u sound foolish. Flav said on his new season that she wanted to do her Jeans line so she didn’t have time for him-ms peaches flav left her to be with the chick that has his 8th baby!!!!! and thats sad everyone wants to hate on her, yeah her and all the other bit*hes went on there to get famous. i mean come on look @ flav
I was gone leave a reply about how I’m confused i dont know if he gay or a drug dealer cause the thug ass niggas i know aint gone let nobody put no damn make up on them I dont give a **** whats going on. And another thing i wish 4545 homie stop teachin him how to use the computer to threatin peoples lives, cause he crazy, people talk about my friends all the times, i aint about to kill over it. LOL
ANOTHER SAD POST BASED ON FALSE ACCUSATIONS! FIRST OF ALL THE TATOO ISNT A BUTTERFLY..BUT SANDRA KNOWS THAT SHE NEEDS TRAFFIC AND COMMENTS SO SHE SAYS RANDOM DUMB SHYT! SHOULD HE BE UNSHAVEN AND SAGGING WITH A SHIRT 3TIMES HIS SIZE? YOU SHO DO HAVE NERVE CALLING SOMEONE OUT…EVEN IF HE IS..YOUR NEGATIVITY IS SAD..BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY UNHAPPINESS BREEDS DISCONTENT AND YOU MUST BE A LONELY PERSON TO BE SO JUDGEMENTAL AND HYPOCRYTICAL
HOWEVER DEELISHIS 15 MINUTES SHOULD BE UP! AND I CANT SEE ANY MAN WIFING A FLAVOR OF LOVE CHARACTER!
SHONA1 MOST ENTERTAINERS AND RAPPERS YOU SEE ON TV WEAR MAKEUP….THE ONE WHO ARE SO CALLED THUGS EVEN DO! ITS FOR THE CAMERAS AND DONT OFTEN! ITS ALSO AIRBRUSHED
I also dont see Deelishis as having a bangin body! Its not toned at all. The only thing working for her is photoshop and airbrush!
lmfao at the title of this post..you made me spit my wine out..
and that isnt a butterfly tattoo
I LIKE DEE AND NO I DON’T THINK HE LOOKS GAY JUST WELL GROOMED
why does he remind me of Toni Morrison’s ex-husband? And he doesn’t even look 27, he looks to be in his 30’s. Shoot, maybe they’re both swinging on both sides of the fence.
You would think a photographer would have a better eye for detail and could actually see that that wasn’t a butterfly. Your credibility suffers with each day, Sandra. It’s entertaining to come on here and see what new item you are dead wrong about.
That man does not have a butterfly tatto on his arm.
Sandra you a foll for htis one.
I hope Deelishus doesn’t D-Cut (her jean line) your ass!!!
That nigga look gay as ****
4545 says: “HAVE HER OWN CLOTHING COMPANY”. i didn’t want to go here..but i am. i don’t think anyone is hating on her. whatever your hustle is “do you”. at the same time you need to have some professionalism with yourself. my friend owns a boutique and we called to get these jeans in. the chick representing her clothing line didn’t know sh*t about sh*t you hear me??? she couldn’t answer questions about the product at all!!! so when u do get your 15 min of fame have a correct team in place that can carry your name/brand or whatever your d*mn hustle is…stop trying to “keep it real” and have everybody on your block from the 9th mile, 10th mile whatever the f*ck handle business…okay! i’m done.
@prettybrwngrl you tell it!!!!Well maybe 4545 will go and let her know what’s really going on. I think he/she has some mental issues. I do not consider her no damn celebrity.People use that word so loosely today.WTF have she done but get picked for a dating show and if it wasn’t for her ASS she would have not made it past the audition.Then she ****s a couple of rappers and now she’s a celeb.Was she working on this jean line before she started bending over in magazines or getting on the flava flav show???4545 want to talk about what white people do!!!!They get good representation who can take calls&answer questions.
Did I miss something? At first glance, I’ll admit I thought he might be suspect. But I think every man is gay until proven straight. But you think he’s gay because he has on more diamonds than her?..Cut to pretty much any “man” in the hip hop game. They are all over the top with diamonds. And the tattoo appears to be that of Drama and Comedy.(not sure if that helps his case)…But it certainly is not a butterfly. I think we need to see him live and in action before we can pass judgement..
JustSayin Says:
But you think he’s gay because he has on more diamonds than her?..Cut to pretty much any “man” in the hip hop game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Exactly! Any “man” who wears diamonds is immediately suspect. Diamonds are a GIRL’S best friend, lol.
*Damn…I made some typo errors on my comment!!!
Sandra you crazy.
So does that mean T.I. is a little…
Sandra Rose Says:
Exactly! Any “man” who wears diamonds is immediately suspect. Diamonds are a GIRL’S best friend, lol.
********************************************************
LMAO!!!
He does look “so so def” that’s a gay term my friend and i use. but the cover of the mag is fixed up the all airbrushed. his woman mentioned he has like 3 businesses, i’m sure he can afford more diamonds for the both of them. stop hating. Hell, that’s my birth stone…send me some. i ain’t mad.
BTW, those Detroit guys never look too fly. They’re very “pimps up, hoes down” and over the top. he’s kinda pretty but whatever…
He is NOT gay, no where near gay!!! I know him personally, he is a family member and this extremely upseting that you would post all out lies on your site. Lies that hurt!
You need to set this records straight as soon as possible. I can arrange for an interview if you want to rectify this situation.
I think 4545 is Sandy anyway bumping numbers…whateva!
4545..u just hurt any credibilty Dee just had by ranting like uneducated hoodrat..simple people like you do more harm than good and you are too ignorant to realize it..it’s ok though booboo God blesses babies and fools..guess which one you are? As for me, i like ya girl..she seemed real and i’m not mad at her for prolonging her 15 minutes,hell get hers..however her man does look fruity as hell..if he is DL that’s her issue..but it is what it is
That’s not a butterfly tat on his arms…it’s mardi gras joy and pain masks…
