Leona Lewis: Priced Out of the Hood
Posted by Bossip Staff
The Brit pop star beauty was duped out of buying a house in her native town of London recently:
“She recently made an offer of around $1m on a house in Hackney with her boyfriend, but when the vendor found out who she was they upped the price by $200,000, forcing the couple to pull out. A source said: ‘It was quite upsetting. They had their heart set on a property and offered the asking price. But the seller thought she was a pop star and could afford more, so he upped the price. It’s cruel.’
Leona’s dad has previously revealed that despite the success of her album, Spirit, which was the fastest-selling UK debut of all time, the pop princess is no millionaire. He said: ‘It’s a myth Leona is a millionaire. She earns enough to live on, but that’s it.’
Leona’s stacks are on modest for now, unlike Mary J. SMH at the shady owner for pricing a girl out of her own neighborhood.

now she’s bleeding love
1st & 2nd?
SMH at her weave.
And she wasn’t duped. Duped means tricked or swindled. Neither applies to this situation.
Reference Roget’s then post.
Thanks in advance.
She is pretty and beyonce-esque look and the light eyes.
I hate when they do things like that.
@serene
Do things like what exactly?
i heard this girl sing, she is no joke!bel’s vocals have nothing on this girl, bey, better be glad she has long time fans, because this girl would knock her in the water
I find someone is advertising for an online site s u g a r m o m m a m e e t.com I have just read the news on the rich women seeking soul mate club s u g a r m o m m am e e t . c o m
you need to stop.. sugarmommameet is a controvercial site asking men to seek rich mommies!
no no…that looks like her hair..im eyein’ the roots…
@MS. NYTX
Yeah I think you might be right it looks a little horsehairish if you know what I mean. That’s kinda why I was thinkin that.
That’s her hair. It’s looking a little frizzy…been there, done that. Her natural curl pattern is a little tighter and they probably just blew it out to soften the curl.
She was on Oprah a few weeks back, she seems very humble and grounded. Hope she does well.
She looks like my sister.
It is her hair and they are her eyes and she is a much better dinger then the rest and she is humble. Hopefully she wont be destroyed in this industry like all the rest
THAT’S HER HAIR!
She’s bi-racial.. White- British MaMa… Black Daddy from Guyana.
I think she’s gorgeous…
@ Ashley Seales, that is not a weave, it is her hair and not store bought.
Her hair looks real to me. Anyway, she’ll be aight.
yeah she is beautiful….ok lemme stop..next subject..!!
Thats her REAL hair!
She is half white and guyanese, google her name and you will see.
NO LACE FRONTS and she can SANG so she dont got to dance.
REAL DIVAS DONT DANCE
hope she remains humble and not tainted by the industry,
I love her voice! (a cross between mariah and whitney)
Go Leona- and it is her hair- saw her on the UK Idol version!
@smokey
didnt Tina Turner dance?
@ Smokey
I was thinkin the exact same thing. Shes got the vocal cords of Whitney with the musical range or Mariah. I love her voice..its a nice change from all this S***t the record companies keep trying to shove down our throat…
I dont know about her hair color, I think it looks better darker, but it seems as if she or “they” lightened it soon as she came stateside. I think she does have a great voice, but honestly they need to come with better production for this girl, I dont think alot of people are gonna buy the whole “Tommy Matolla, Mariah-like era” thing they have going for her, I mean its almost like easy listening music right now,. Im more into Estelle, to me shes the more compelling UK import even though Leona has a better voice
She needs to drop her UGLY boyfriend and hook up with Lewis Hamilton…seriously that would be my ultimate couple!
Sametype of background she and LL has, dad worked very long and hard to support their talents!
She once done a song years back with Ludicrous…think it was entilted ‘nothing but a party’
That is Leona’s real hair i remember watching the X-factor which she won and thinking hmmm they are going to get there hands on that hair the straighten it out low and behold they did. YES my girl can sing far better than Beyonce.
I don’t why her father is acting like she should be a millionair when she has only just started, give it a few more year and she really will be flossing
beyonce can ONLY WISH to ever look this good, sing that well and be that classy … this chic here is real and the trufe .. no as for that guttermouth country shady slut, no comment.
yes well the pound is 2.00 per .50 usd
and the euro fyi is 1.60 per 1.00 usd
But if Obama wins it will be much better!
What does Beyounce have to do with this?! Why is it that in order to build one artist up we have to put another down. Leona Lewis is beautiful and talented and so is Beyounce. There is no reason to compare the two. And considering Leona can’t even afford to buy the home she wants and Beyounce has mutiple houses, I’m sure Leona would love to have Beyounce’s career and success right about now.
Is she really that good? I have to check her out for myself.Can’t wait!!!She’s a pretty lady and if she is humble, that is a plus factor right there.
@ thabitch
Maybe because we are sick of Bey-fake-ce and her constant booty showing. Like alicia this is a example for the kids. A nice, sweet and humble girl. I’m a fan.
Glad she’s got a million quid already and the smarts to put into bricks & mortar. Hope she’s also got the sense to keep boyfriend’s name off the deeds.
Look you hater ass hoes, that aint no weave, shes got money, shes talented and shes one of the finest bitches Ive ever seen………..No wonder you hate her so much!
She signed her record deal for £5 million!
That’s like $9 million American dollars. I don’t believe she’s broke unless she wasted all her money!
Anyway, Bleeding love just took Ushers spot, it’s the # 1 song in the country and her album is awesome!!
I don’t know who she is but she is very pretty. I don’t like comparing looks to people. That is a very silly thing to do. Everyone is beautiful in the eyes of the beholder. But, she (leona) is very pretty.
wathever. You can compare people. Thats why we all look different. Bey-fake-ce looks artificial.
I like her eyes… her weave needs some brushing though.
That’s so sexy and hot .She is so pretty .I love her style.I saw her always dating in millonaire dating site”W e a l t h y L o v i n g . c o m”.Dose she had searched her new love in this site?Dose she really has a new baby?
Some people on this site need to learn how to use Google. She is from England and comes from bi-racial parentage. She won the talent show X-Factor, a program, produced by Simon Cowell (Mr. American Idol) in the U.K.. This show is huge in the U.K., just as Idol is here in the US. Leona is an amazing singer and is the best singer to come out of the U.K. in decades. Please go on YOUTUBE to watch all of her X-Factor performances. Her vocal range is BRILLIANT to say the least. This girl is humble as they come and I hope she keeps this quality as she continues her rise to fame.
And for the last time, YES it’s her natural hair length…
um no everything about leona is 110% real her momz white and her daddy darker than akon covered in mud
LOVE HER!!!!!
money hungry motherfu@#$*@
shes bad!
She is beautiful and has the number one song in america.. bey and rhi better watch out cuz she finsta take the light skin spot..seriously
Leona can sing but she sure as hell is no Mariah and definitely not Whitney. I live in the UK so I’ve known about this chick since 4eva. The press (some of them) say she’s boring just ‘cuz she doesn’t drink herself to a stupor and do drugs. Personally, I really like her. However, if she was american she definitely wouldn’t have done this well. The af-americas tend to have much better voices than the british singers. She is just like anyother americam singer with a good voice. Nothing special.
However, in Britain we are not used to seeing homegrown talent, so the white folks here wanted someone british who could sing decently. They have to be black (let’s be honest, yt chicks can’t sing like black chicks), but they wouldn’t sell in the UK unless they are half white, that’s why Leona did well in the Uk.
That said, I like her alot, but she’s definitely not as talented as some would have you believe. I doubt that we are going to have another singer with Mariahs range or Whitneys voice anytime soon. Can’t knock her for trying though.
P.S: Stop playing, she ain’t that cute. I dont really like Beyonce right now (she’s started to annoy me), but I think Bey is kinda prettier than this chick (if I take off my Bey-hating goggles), but she’s still pretty. Close-up, is a different story. Leona’s lips twist to the side. Maybe ‘cuz I live in Britain so I’ve been expeosed to her far longer than u americans.
But please support her stuff, she is actually very nice, and one of the few british singers that I actually give a shit about! And the person who said her boo is ugly: STFU. That guy is kinda hot!
I have a question. This woman is wearing a lace front wig (believe me, I know one when I see one). Why aren’t you guys ragging on her like you do when Beyonce wears them? Just wanted to know.
Now come on JaliliMaster,your full of bs, sound like you got a lil bit of hater in you. I mean damn, i’m not even from the uk and I think the chick talent as f**k been following her career since mid October. I know if I was a britain representative I’d be praising her over beyonce(so cliche`) ass. No offense (being the beyonce fan that I am) I rather pick someone from my country that’s new,mind you Beyonce’s been in the game since 1997, I’m cosigning Barack time for a change. And for you to say quote on quote “stop playing she ain’t that cute,” it really doesn’t matter when it all boils down. The girl got vocals and could sing, She’s refreshing for the state of music now… Bye have a blessed Sunday!!!haha
No offense either big homie>.

——————————
U MAKE SOME REALLY GOD POINTS. I LIVE IN THE UK AND I THINK THAT LEONA IS GREAT. THERE IS NO NEED TO COMPARE ARTISTS. IF THEY ARE TALENTED THEN THEY ARE TALENTED. THE POINT ABOUT THE UK WANTING A SINGER THAT COULD MATCH THE ONES WE SEE FROM US IS DEFINITELT TRUE AND I THINK LEONA IS THE BEST BET. AS FOR THE POINT ABOUT HER BEING BIRACIAL A PLUS FOR HER IN THE UK MARKET….HELLO…WHERE HAVE U BEEN? ITS BEEN LIKE THAT FOR A WHILE AND ITS EVEN GETTING WORSE. LOOK AT OUR TV. OF THE FEW IMES U SEE BLACK ACTRESSES IN MAINSTREAM ROLES, I CAN PROBABLY THINK OF ONLY 2 THAT ARE NOT BIRACIAL. THE WOMAN IN EASTENDERS AND HER 1ST DAUGHTER.
TO THE PPLE SAYING LACE-FRONT, THAT IS LEONA’S REAL HAIR LENGTH. STOP HATING
Nope thats her hair. Guyana has AlOT of Indians and many of the blacks dark and light have soft long natural hair. Im Guyanese
Hey you people that are hatin on Leona’s hair,
sorry to burst your bubble but it’s real!
im mixed with welsh and african, my hair looks exactly like that.
When you are bi-racial you’re hair can come out either way, plus lacefronts wigs whatever you call them aren’t even available in britain, i hope they never become avaliabl because i know many black girls will be rockin them badly lol.
Face it the girl is a triple threat,
She’s stunningly beautiful
Girl can SING!
And on top of that MY girl is ROCKIN her OWN hair!
Now big up to beyonce for doin her thing but LELE is in a class of her own!
I hate it when some girls have nothin to pick at then start attackin the girl’s hair, thinkin at the same time damn i need to get me dat weave, i mean c’mon grow up, the more u do this the more u expose urself, like everyone knows about the weave it has become notorious with the black girl which is a shame, as black girls can have long hair naturally too, everytime a black girl have long hair, some girl has to go ‘is dat a weave’, you just expose urself even more.
So if you’re gonna wear a weave for goodness sake don’t be a chicken head make it look natural as you don’t only bring urself down wit the tracks stickin out u bring down the entire black woman race! so fix ur weave up before u start commentin on someone elses.
Well it looks like her hair to me. OMFG her new song BETTER IN TIME totally rocks i love it so much. She is really pretty you can tell that when shes not wearing makeup her face looks flawless. I LOVE U LEONA
SOS RE LINDA
JaliliMaster you’re a twat. No one cares about your shitty opinion. The only English singers you probably even hear are the ones that have had millions of dollars spent on them, which pretty much says it all! Leona is crap no one likes her, she will be overthrown by a better looking, better voiced singer in the USA soon. Watch this space!
