Looks like Nia Long is a bit salty about ‘real’ actresses are losing roles to ‘non-acting’ actors like Beyonce.
In the July issue of Pride magazine, Nia Long goes in on singers & rappers for not being qualified enough to act.
When asked what she thought about Beyonce Knowles’ performance in ‘Obsessed.’ Nia replied,
“I didn’t see ‘Obsessed,’ so I can’t comment, but it’s just not about how talented you are anymore. It’s about, ‘How much box-office revenue will this person generate?’ When you see certain people – we won’t name names – they just don’t have the skill, and no one in their team has said, ‘You need acting classes.”
She goes on to talk about how celebrities like Jamie Foxx make the exception, because he’s studied and trained in both acting and singing fields…
