  • No u can’t be boyfriend #2!

    GOLD!

  • Nique

    HMMMM..I GUESS

  • No u can’t be boyfriend #2!

    I sooo don’t agree! SCHOOL FIRST LITTLE ONE! That’s all it should be for right now anyway!

  • QUEEN

    tyra’s is trying to catch them young and turn them into little tyra’s. hopefully their moms wont let them become egotistic but they are very cute

  • kasha

    That’s ridiculous…All that damn weave and makeup on a nine year old…future hoodrate babymamma ho!!

  • GoodKarma4Me

    Who the hell wants their 9 yr old too be a diva…..and why is she wearing weave….LOL damn her parents could have kept her hair natural~

  • Ty

    @Kasha – Awesome and on point. I agree 100%

  • MirsMommy

    Give these kids books to read please.

  • ugh

    Send this little brat to school. Does she not have smart people around her to put her in school?

  • QUEEN

    @ kasha
    point taken she shouldnt be on the path she is on and i do agree that she will probably turn out the way other kids tht were tossed in the game too young did (lindsay lohan,tht chick from the cosby’s,etc) my point being let your children make their own decisions and support them dont force fame on them it’ll drive them up a wall

  • http://BOSSIP Damn D

    As Black ppl,we need more Doctors ,Lawyers, Presidents. Not stuck up Models that have no education to back them up when their beauty fades away.

  • Mikado7777777

    @Damn D
    Damn Right!

  • chaka1

    That child needs to be in class somewhere learning something. She ain’t no diva til she gets a degree.

  • Ms. Littlejohn

    Oh LORD! They’re creating a MONSTER! She’s cute, but doing too much…

  • gigi

    What would tyra be doing write now if she didn’t have that show. But everyone can’t be tyra and everyone can’t model looks go away. go to school young one trust me.

  • 1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals—Pimpin, Platinum style!!! J-Hud’s concert was OFF THE MEAT RACK!!!!!!!!!

    My baby does some modeling so I won’t knock this mother’s decision. What I disagree on is THIS type of modeling!!!

    Mykel has done ads for Penney’s, Walmart and the likes. I never understood how mothers can slather a child with so much makeup it makes them unrecognizable. I also never understood how they allow them to even consider this type of modeling. I do feel that most of them are exploiting their children and are living their lives through their children.

    Just my opinion……

  • Micchi

    why is it that instead of calling her names and running her into the ground that you bunch of crabs in the hole can’t say what you have to say whilst acting human? what the hell is up with you ppl?

  • MefromDC

    the lil bust-it-baby looks like Dwoods

  • TheMan

    if she can do something she loves right now and get paid to secure her future, why would anyone knock that? how many people with degrees cant find a job right now?

  • http://perryone779@yahoo.com rose by any other name

    She may be a little diva but that lil girl can outwalk those white chicks on ANTM, i hate half of them they cant walk, they are gawky and have the nerve to cry when they get kicked off~!!(smdh)!

  • jenndub

    She is too young to do that kind of modeling…..kids should only be doing the cute playing in my sunday school dress type of modeling, not trying to be a sexpot or whatever. She still a child!

  • Please Believe

    isn’t school in session?

  • http://urbanfrugalchic.com Cynthia

    Lil Girl can walk like Naomi

  • http://urbanfrugalchic.com Khristal

    What a cute lil Diva!

  • Angel

    That little girl is BAD! Hands down…Mini Diva.

  • 2dimplzs

    Ok I’m so TORN right now! One half of me thinks she is AWESOME!! The other half is very afraid of what she’s being EXPOSED to in that industry. I’m sure she has a tutor that travels with her and is making sure her schooling is on point while she makes her moeny modeling. I hope she has SMART parents to surround her and protect her from the ugliness of the modeling world.

    I’ll have to be honest – if my daughter had that “it” factor with modeling, I’d let her pursue it but I would quit my job and be with her every second of the day – no exceptions. Every parent has to weigh the pros and cons when it comes to stuff like this and do what’s in the child’s best interest and look beyond the $$$$ their child is bringing into the family.

  • UHHHH

    That little girl is fierce. I don’t think there is nothing wrong with baby pagents and the sort. As long as it no “tiara and toddler” type crap.

    I think activites as cheerleading and modeling build character and confidence.\
    Plus the money can go towards college when she’s older.

  • e-ka

    hmmm .. dont think I like this but oh well

  • Anonymous

    She’s cute … and I’m probably gonna get hated on for saying this BUT I hope her parents are teaching her that there are other career options outside of modeling and that she’s saving every penny she earns. Sometimes childhood cuteness doesn’t translate into adult beauty/runway model material if you know what I mean. I think we can all name a few former child stars that fit into this category. The world can be cruel to former kiddie stars who have no other useful skills.

  • sad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    nothing is cute about that little girl plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Please send child to school we need more oprah’s not tyra in world

  • YorkieLover

    I think she can model,but I would rather her maybe do some pageants every now and then and maybe kids fashion shows. The pageants could help her self esteem and help her learn how to talk and not be shy in front of people (because she started crying on Tyra’s show),and I just don’t think she should be modeling with grown women just yet. And if I’m not mistakend she has a fraternal twin sister who is darker skinned and a little heavier and isn’t modeling. I wonder how she feels?

  • YorkieLover

    What’d I tell ya….Im not a mommy yet,but I just couldn’t get one of my twin girls into something and not the other.
    Check out her myspace page.

  • dawn

    so what

  • Absulam

    great, another future adult female with princess syndrome.

  • http://www.bossip.com MoniSings

    I don’t like wheffas who put their little girls in all those beauty pageants, and that’s what this reminds me of. Too many wrong values and the whole superficial mindset being instilled into a child so young. She is cute, tho.

  • Stephy

    U all are a bunch of haters. Whose to say her parent’s don’t have her grounded??? You all know nothing about her, if she can make cash for her future sobeit. She’s nine now, there no telling how things will be by time she’s 18 and ready for school. Be supportive for once in your muthaf*cking life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • http://perryone779@yahoo.com rose by any other name

    Stephy.. i agree!!!

  • Stilettos

    wtf is w/the bitter ppl on this site? Are you seriously attacking a 9 yr old? Why because she walks better than you ever will? How sad to tear down a child who obviously has some serious talent. Saying she needs to be in school…who said she isn’t? Maybe the money she makes is going towards her college education.. I think the losers leaving negative comments just have ugly children who they know don’t stand much of a chance in life lol

  • Silken Dove

    She betta work!

  • –==

    @ kasha…really, you would really call a 9 year old girl out like that…”That’s ridiculous…All that damn weave and makeup on a nine year old…future hoodrate babymamma ho!!” you obviously have some issues, or was not able to get into modeling…smh

    …and to those that agree with Kasha, all you have to go off of are pictures. you don’t this girl or her family, for all you know, this could be something that is done on the weekends only, furthermore, she is probably only doing shows that showcase childrens clothes. i mean, really, who are they going to get to model little girls’ clothes, tyra? GTFOH. who’s to say she is not in school, in church, living in a two parent home and is not an A student…wow. i don’t if any of what i typed is true or not, but what if it is…

  • Rihanna’s sharp n pointy witchy fingernails took the oath

    this little girl has the mannerisms of a gay male… idk

  • MJ lives on 4ever…

    First of all, yall are so f’ing judgemental on here. As you could tell, just by that little clipping of her talking with Tyra, she is still just a little girl. All that Diva stuff is a persona. I doubt very seriously that she acts like that at home or at school or even with her friends. It’s an act, and yall are dumb enough to take it to another level, like she came up with her own little name Diva Devanna. No, her parents came up with that because they saw she had a talent and obviously some interest in being a model. And I believe that children’s talent should be encouraged. The parents would just have to step in and say what is good and what is bad with the industry and be there every step of the way with her until she’s old enough to step out there on her own. By then she would be grounded, just like what Tyra’s mother did with her. Some of yall just need to STFU sometimes if you can’t say nothing intelligent, especially when it comes to kids with a dream.

  • 1985

    A bit much….

  • copelli21

    First, she’s not that cute.

    Two, she knows how to do the Tyra runway walk and that’s about it.

    That kid needs to be in school. Instead, she’s getting kudos for doing nothing, but trying to walk like a model!

    She’s fuc*in 9! She has no reason to be a “diva.”

    Much ado about nothing!

  • ackee

    that is so ridiculous! what is this world coming to?!!! does she not have her whole life to do that foolishness. She, her parents, and Tyra all need an education!!! too much, too soon!!!

  • Nikko

    Yall some miserable people on here and will hate on anything.

  • get it right

    @ queen

    You obviously don’t know much because all of the kids off the Cosby show either went to college are continued to be successful after the Cosby show so bad example. You don’t know anything about her parents and how they raise their child. She may be a very intelligent you girl. I guess its a problem for kids to go out and play sports when they are students too. And as far as her parents spending her money you should know that its illegal for parents to pocket more than a certain percentage of a child’s income.

  • Samantha

    Stop hatin no body want to show case your azzes on anything. Black folks just can’t seem to be happy for each others success.

  • ladyv123

    correction…she practices 3 hours a day!!
