Is Lauryn Hill’s Daughter a Superstar in the Making?
Yesterday one of my readers, Daisy, alerted me to this video of R&B legend Lauryn Hills 12-year-old daughter Selah singing. Hill and her sperm donor Rohan Marley (Bob Marley’s seed) have 5 children together.
Does Selah have a future in music? Will she crack under the pressure of fame like her mother did? Lauryn is set to announce a world tour including dates in the motherland Africa. Stay tuned for that announcement.

She’s adorable…why it seem like she sneaking though…in true 12yo fashion
She’s husky voiced, like Lauryn. It doesnt seem as if anyone is “training” her though.
With the right training she can be a star. But it’s going to be hard to escape the imagine of being Bob’s granddaughter and Lauryn’s daughter.
She is such a cutie….
image of being**
She is adorable. I think she looks like her mom…..
Cute
Selah is cute. She looks like a light-skin version of her mother. Hopefully, her family encourages her to follow her on path. Having Lauryn Hill for a mother and Bob Marley for a grandfather is alot of pressure.
Trying to word this as nice as possible cause I love the kids…
Cute girl but she will need a ton of singing lessons although talent is not requried to make it in the biz anymore she has the pressure of being L Boogies daughter.
She has mad talent! Not surprised, look at her gene pool…..I pray she stays young and innocent as long as possible before getting sucked into the entertainment business. I see modeling, acting and singing in her future. Many blessings.
Did anyone ever confirm this is in fact L. Hill’s daughter???
She is so cute!!
HATED IT!!!!!!
why is her eye to camera contact poor?
I thought Zion was the eldest child?
OK I looked at it again and this is junk!!!!!
@Free
That’s what I thought too…cause she had that song on her CD…
maybe they meant oldest daugher?
He is @Free.
They are just a yr apart. It happens.
She is too cute! I wish her the best in the industry!
@rene I asked that question yesterday but she favors L boogie (mouth)
not sure though
@sandra that’s LOYAL reader
@ renegade, That’s her daughter. There’s a picture online of her and parents together.
@ Free, Zion is the oldest. He should be 13 or about to be. Selah is 11 not 12 yet.
@rene, that is her daughter. I’ve seen them in other pics together.
I think she is young and like most new singers needs a singing coach. She has potential
@ OTB, don’t it seem as if she is being extra shady, like hurry up before mama catch us
She sounds better than Rihanna, Ciara, and Alicia Keys live
Shout out to Daisy
Cant view the video from work, but i’ll check it out when I get home
Here’s a link to Lauryn’s kids minus the youngest girl. This pics are from 2008.

@OTB,A year isn’t that bad. I used to work with this one lady who kids were 10 months apart, I was like woah!
Exactly @Al- Thats why I dont think its fair to say she will need lessons and whatnot…I’m thinking L-Boogie in Sister Act 2…memba her sneaking?
Mama prolly didnt cosign this. :/
Yeah
Ebony! 
I dont know how to respond @Ryan :/ I have a set like that… October 30th, 2000 and September 9, 2001.
No harm, no foul though. Its like having twins.

thanks boo
Yessssss @Free. That one liked to keep me big and preggo. Jerk.
OK see this is why sometimes you don’t need to let google be your friend.
So, I just read on the internet that the majority of the time Lauren was in the fugees, that her and Wyclef were in a relationship and then he married someone else (Claudinette) and Lauren started messing with Rohan (who was also married) and then when she gave birth Wyclef assumed it was his and showed up to the hospital.
Lord, are they for real? Is that why them ninja’s broke up? Who knew
@OTB, That’s what’s up,I know you wouldn’t trade them for the world. I got a feeling that after my first child, I’m to take a lifelong hiatus for childbearing.
The lady I worked with went into graphic detail about the conception of the second baby, I was like OMG, this is too much.
@OTB: I feel you. Eldest was June 19th followed by my son the next year on May 21st. I WILL NEVER do that again! (My dad and his brother are 9 months apart)
@Ryan @ohso
I was convinced that I was drugged. I mean, it had to be the Demerol counteracting and deleting my Depo…and how did he even get any? I hated him! LOL
Yes @Al- All true. At least, thats what ‘Clef and nem said.
This is
as hell, but I really need some advice.
A few nights ago me and my boyfriend were riding around, then out of nowhere he asked me would I marry him and he sounded serious as hell. I said yes, and he was like cool. Then later I asked him what he serious, he was like nah I was just playing. Should I be concerned that he may be preparing to say it for real? Because I love him we’ve been together for two and a half years, but I’m not ready to “settle down” for good.

I thought all your kids were from the same person?
@ OTB, lord that is some drama right there. No wonder L boogie had issues. And is says that although Rohan and Lauren been together since 1996 he is still legally married to his first wife.
Oh lord, does that mean Lauren is a home wrecker? Im just asking

Then why did you say yes when he was “playing” if you aren’t ready? But since you aren’t ready anyway, you won’t be mad if he never asks “for real” right?
cute kid…..def can see the potential…needs training…and less attitude
This “Fugees love triangle” is too confusing, I always thought that Lauryn was dating Pras during those Fugees days. #kanyeshrug
@OTB: He dam.n sure aint getting any now. Girl two babies in Huggies at the same time is #notthebusiness. When that second baby came home and I came off cloud nine and realized how useless he was…i packed up that PS2 and his clothes and sent him back to his mama house!
and how did he even get any? I hated him! LOL

___________________________________________________________________
@Free, I said yes as a knee jerk reaction like so many woman tend to do, but then after giving it some afterthought I was like I’m really not ready for all that at this juncture. And if never asks, it is what it is.

Then why you say yes crazy girl?!?!
Jezebel..la la la la la la maybe one day you can be my boo
@Ryan, Dont think too much into it. Cross that bridge when you get to it!
When and if it happens for REAL, you wont have to question it because you’ll know in your heart if he’s serious!
@ ryan, nevermind you answered already

That’s cool. A lot of women get upset later that’s why I asked and it seems like you were a little excited in the inside.
@Al-Ameera, good for them if it is true. But you know what they say though, “you lose ‘em, how you got ‘em”. But who knows, I like them as a couple and I don’t know the situation concerning how they got together, so I’m not going to say too much.
Ebony says:

**************
I sound better than them live….
My oldest is 13 (different dad) @Free. Everybody else: 9, 8, 6, and 4.
LOL
okay i listened….
I’ve heard much better….she could some lessons…i see the potential voice
Hmmm @ryan did you tell him that “you were just playing” also?
@Free, yeah I was a little excited at the moment. But then after saying yes, I was like why in the hell did I say that. He’s a good guy but we both have stuff we need to work on before even considering going that route. I just don’t want to tell the dude no like I’d never marry him, I just can’t marry him right now or anytime in the next 4 years. I’ve seen too many people I know get married in their 20s be divorced before their 30th birthday.

WOW now that is both smart and mature…and you are right…it is kneejerk to respond with a yes…especially with someone with whom you have an established relationship. I am a fan of black love (he is black right…i kid i kid)…but good job and pulling back and being practical about your decission. Good Girl
@OTB, I was just laughed it off. He didn’t think I was serious anyway.
“I am a fan of black love (he is black right…i kid i kid)…”

I don’t think she sounded bad at all…just needs some grooming and some training. She looks JUST like Lauryn though…

Well getting engaged doesn’t mean you are getting married tomorrow. People usually take 2-3 years to actually marry if they aren’t “ready” at the time.
Too cute! She looks just like L Boogie and already got the ‘tude too! L needs to come on with that new album! I’m still listening to Unplugged, it was so underrated!

*crosses legs* Yes. @Free I do not look an un-snipped man directly in the eye…’lest my legs fall open and babies fall out.
I agree @gouch. She does!
It took until almost the end of the song to figure out what song she was singing. She looks just like her mommy.
Someone needs to bottle 12 year old energy and optimism and sell it by the gallon!

Wholesome, calm, good girl…never been on a pole….IDK!! I can’t narrow the adjective down.
@ggouch, thanks!
@Free, that’s true. But being engaged is a big step as well and I really don’t know how my parents would feel about me even being engaged especially my mother, who still wants me to play with barbies, wear patent leather Mary Janes, and ruffle socks.

@OTB: You are a nut!!!!
Now we all sound better than CiCi and RiRi but they still do their thang very well!
@Ryan I like your mama.
I be all at work hearing phantom “mama” and chit. I come here to get away…kick back…shoot the chit! *bobbles head, throws feet on desk*
@OTB WOW I am speechless. Cause if I had 5 children I would slip into a lifetime of depression that no medicine could ever help.
I was at a bus stop in NYC one day and this woman walked up to me I guess she thought she could read future’s (ha) she told me I was supposed to have 5 kids. I cursed that lady out so damn bad. And started jogging home. I figured if I shook up everything inside it would never happen.
My son is almost 7 and he’s an only child. I want more kids. H3ll, if I had money like that, I would want 6 or 7 kids. I want a BIG family. I wanna be old and sh.it and have like 20 grand kids
Everybody comin over for holidays and sh.it. But my luck, that wouldnt happen. My luck, all my family would be at WAR 
@OTB, yeah my momma is a trip. I’m 19, then there are my two younger brothers she has with my stepdad, one is 8 going on 72, and the other one is 10 going on 17 in other words a mess.
I be all at work hearing phantom “mama” and chit. I come here to get away…kick back…shoot the chit! *bobbles head, throws feet on desk*
You sound like a friend of mine (not the one Im usually talking about, another one). She has twins (2 yrs old) and a 3 yr old. She be about to lose her dam.n mind! I cant even stand to talk to her on the phone though cause all I hear is babies crying and her “trying” to cover the phone while yelling “sit down” – “watch tv” – “leave me alone” – “shut the door, im tryin to boo boo” :/ Poor thing, I feel bad for her!
In my mind I want at least 3 kids, then I look at my little brothers with their where the wild things are asses and I reconsider that thought.
I’m 19
19???? Girl you are TOO YOUNG to be thinking about marrying somebody anyways!!!!!! I can almost gaurantee you, by the time your 25, the guy your with now will just be a memory!!!
“Now we all sound better than CiCi and RiRi but they still do their thang very well!”
And there is Daisy with her cup half full as always!
they do! LOL
@ggouch…well first thing, I got rid of their daddy [he has that Black man's affinity for thick (I call 'em fat) women] LOL
J/K not really though… Once my body got used to not being pregnant I started feeling tired and I felt like it was the weight, even though I didn’t look fat I was big. My body stays in proportion so, I could carry it well…but I couldn’t fit into all that glamorous (sometimes naked #dontjudgeme) chit I like to wear …I started working out Jan 2009 with the old YTs at work and by March I saw some results that I could notice then it was on and popping.
Hit goal weight Dec 2009 and now I’m just chilling. Still working out though and on a “mini diet” now for the sake of fashion.

@OTB WOW I am speechless. Cause if I had 5 children I would slip into a lifetime of depression that no medicine could ever help.
LOL Chit, Im depressed. Mofos wanna go to space camp, dance camp, football camp…what ever happened to running round the hood till mama got off work in the summer?
Kids these days, I tell ya.
“And started jogging home. I figured if I shook up everything inside it would never happen.”
AND
Bish that dont work! You dont think I tried it ALLL? 
@Florida, that’s partly why I don’t want to get married now. I have a cousin who got married at 19, divorced at 35 now she is trying to do the stuff she should have been doing at 18, the only problem is she has two kids that are suffering the consequences of her wanting to act like a teenager.
As far me and him, we took a two year hiatus. We got back together in February. I’ve dated people since then, he has dated other people as well. I didn’t even know we were living in the same city until I bumped into him at the mall. We hadn’t spoke in two years, but we went out and it was like we’d never been separated from each other. So I feel there is something there, what I don’t know. That’s what I’m trying to figure out.
@Flo. Any family will have trials. Big families just mean more fukkery and more people to laugh at. You gotta think positive.
I got 5, and if 2 of ‘em aint chit, I still got 3 to help me in old age.
@AL-ALMEERA, Yes he is black well yellow but at the end of the day he is African-American lol.
“shut the door, im tryin to boo boo”
O.M.G.
Bish please! Them chirren will be that swift kick your ass needs! They dont give a chit bout no depressed!
LOL Chit, Im depressed. Mofos wanna go to space camp, dance camp, football camp…what ever happened to running round the hood till mama got off work in the summer?

—————————-
Now that is the freakin truth….I remember someone that is like a mom to me said, she could be dead and a baby would still be hanging from her t*ttie, she said children never let you be.
And all I can remember is being sleep and my son HOLDING my eyelid open talking about “mama, you sleep?” no lil ninja, I ain’t now….
You don’t have time to be depressed when you got kids…sorry
OTB you should write a book on motherhood because you got me over here dying laughing.

And all I can remember is being sleep and my son HOLDING my eyelid open talking about “mama, you sleep?” no lil ninja, I ain’t now….
Last night lil man was “scared of the dark” – Everytime I got good into sleep I would hear “MOMMY!!!!! ARE YOU SLEEPING???” – “WELL I WAS DAMM!T!!!! GO TO SLEEP FOR I GET THE BELT!!!”
Well maybe it didn’t work for you cause you forgot to kick your azz while running like I did. Because I sure didn’t reach the goal she set for me. :coffe:
or
It could have been the clear haze I was in when I got my tubes tied, dyed and fried. When I woke up I said to the doctor you got it all. Like they were as cyst or something. I knew I didn’t want those thinks working.
I love that @Al-! Its so true! Even in death…wasnt Big Mama’s (Soul Food) kids still calling and needing her?!? LOL So true. F’n leeches LOL
@Ryan. I have thought abot that but I would like to see if I am “successful” first LOL.
S/N: I keep a “manual” for my daughters filled with blurbs and advice about life/love/respect/credit/sister friends…just everything. I havent given it to them yet cause its a work in progress but I read it from time to time and they are prolly gonna think I am #batshytcrazy
I cant wait!
OMG @Candi
If only I had been as proactive!!!
Awww that’s so sweet. I really got a tear in my eye, for real. Girls need that motherly guidance, because the world is ready to take advantage of them. So big up’s to you for raising your girls right.
My mama gave me something like that. It had stuff in it about her mom, her, and then me. This bish done planned out my whole wedding and sh.it. I def. thought she was #batshytcrazy, but all in all, I know its all love
I want a lil girl sooooooo bad
But lil man is almost 7, and I just cant see myself starting over
what ever happened to running round the hood till mama got off work in the summer?
________________________
Thats the method my momma used. My older sisters were responsible for me and my sister. They disappeared the entire day so we did what we wanted. When it was time for my mom to got home at midnight my two older sisters ran in the house and said “Yall having a party- Errybody out now” running around cleaning up and chit. Served them right. Mom walked through the door everybody fake sleeping.
Yes @Flo. I always think if I die today, what dont my children know? Boys too.
Why do the kids do that? Fake sleeping???? Like , I just heard y’all when I stuck my key in the door.
You actually just gave me a great idea OTB
Ima start something like that for lil man
@FloridaChick, 7 is a good age to have another one! The older one is the perfect age for the, “baby pass me the…” “pick up the…” “bring me the…” and if you don’t have a dishwasher? Step stool!
Who am I kidding. I have a 2 year old boy and the thought of having another feels like starting over. What if its another boy? *shudders in fear*
True Story, my BFF has 4 kids. Her oldest is 6, will be 7 in Nov. Lil mama sweeps, washes dishes, changes pampers, cooks spagetti O’s and noodles and sh.it :/ Dont get me wrong, im all for making the kids help out, but she is doin too much. Bish(the mama) p*ssed me off the other day talkin about she was @ McDonalds and Jazzy was baby sitting! WTH?? How is Jazzy baby sitting when she is a baby herself??? :/
Flo I hate yuur friend. #realtalk.
Did you ride her about that babysitting thing? Dont let up on her ass!
My friend is kinda janky like that with her kids…letting them do too much…they dont do chit to help her clean (even though they are purposely messy) but she lets them run all over her.
They are outside at like 8am some morns. #wheretheydothatat
@OTB, you know I checked that as.s!!!! I just feel bad for her oldest, cause she lets the 4 year old run wild. I almost cant stand that lil bad as.s
Kids outside playin at 8am??? No ma’am!!!
If she starts waking them up in the middle of the night to clean. They will learn…..
Yes ma’am. And pleas to get them to clean and chit. Girl I be
My kids be like,
“This is the life at your house, Auntie!” LOL
She kill me. Her fav line is “I’m not going to be beating my kids” and that just lets me know that she wasnt ready to parent. Why is beating your only possible solution? She has 4 of ‘em too.
They walk all over her. Beating is not always the solution cause the letter people will come after her. She needs parenting classes or 1 800 numbers.
Side note: In public you pinch not hit

Shoot, he run Pop-Pop’s house when Pop-Pop is present, so I know he ran that bish to the ground while he was gone.
