DAYUM, I didn't know that...
 

Dayum, I didn't know:

Lisa Raye (Player's Club) and Da Brat are sisters.

Post shocking information here! :D

First I heard this. I know they are both from Chicago

Lisa Raye and Da Brat
 

Yes, half sisters.
:eek:

Me, neither!! I saw that on the new BET version of MTV Cribs. They look absolutely nothing alike!

I also didn't know that LisaRaye had a daughter. But, I must say that she had a nice house. I really liked the white couches.

I didn't know that they were sisters either, but I knew that LisaRaye had a daughter....small world isn't it. :p

I knew it!
 

I read that this past summer in either "Savoy", "Heart and Soul" or "Essence" magazine. I was truly shocked!

Actually, I'm from Chicago, and I went to grade school with Lisa Raye (McCoy being her last name).

I knew that she and the Brat are sisters, though, I don't think they were very close growing up, as Lisa was raised on the south side by parents, and enjoyed all of the benefits of wealth that her daddy could provide. Including the biggest house in the popular black middle class area called Pill Hill. The Brat was raised on the west side, I think by her grandmother.

Mr. McCoy, (Lisa's father) was an extremely rich, and well known black man in Chicago. He was the owner of a chain of motels (the Zanzibars), and a poular nightclub (Sweet Georgia Brown's) before his untimely death at the hands of his mate. It's my opinion that he was "getting around" on his wife with The Brat's mother, but that's just my educated guess.

Thanks for the 411 on Lisa Raye & DaBrat. I didn't know they were sisters..that is something I can't imagine.

Being from Chicago also, it is often rumored he was "getting around" a lot because a lot of people claimed he was their father. I wonder if they knew of each other before they became famous?

Speaking of half siblings!!!
 

This came out a few years ago, so many may know already, but I was very shocked when I found out that comedienne Sommore and actress Nia Long were (half) sisters. To me, the two of them seem like night and day.

Re: Speaking of half siblings!!!
 

I heard this too, but I was always told that it was a rumor. From what I have been told, Nia Long is both of her parents' only child. Does anyone know which story is true?

I always thought it was a rumor as well.

LOL Zanzibar, let me shut up! back in the day.......

I just heard that Damon Dash (CEO of Roc a Fella records) and Stacey Dash (actress) are supposedly brother and sister. I didn't believe it at first but this is obviously common knowledge b/c everyone I asked already knew. Did anyone else hear this?

Damon Dash and Stacey Dash are brother and sister. He use to be her manger back in the day.

Actually, they are cousins, not brother and sister. It was a Vibe magazine in one of the picture sections when they were sitting together at a party.

I don't think being the daughter of a drug dealer in a wheel chair actually qualifies as enjoying the benefits of wealth and if I'm not mistaken Lisa's mother wasn't in her life. Lisa was surrounded by body guards and opportunists.

Lovely....
 

Actually I knew that Lisa didn't grow up with her mother, however, I didn't think it was necessary to include that in my post. I left it ambiguous by sayin "parents".

As far as her father being a drug dealer, I wouldn't know anything about that. However, as I went to school with her, I was able to witness the fact that she was very well to do. I wasn't trying to imply that her life was easy, I was simply stating that Lisa was rich before the acting thing took off, while the Brat grew up a different way.

Oh yeah, and I never saw any body guards at school. I'm sure I would remeber if I had.

Re: Re: Speaking of half siblings!!!
 

I remember reading in a magazine interview that Nia Long does have a half sister. I think she met her while in high school. The article did not mention anything about her sister's identity, so I don't know if it is Sommore or not.

Damon and Stacey Dash
 

Guys,

I heard that is just a rumor. Damon is from--well Brooklyn, okay we already knew that. Stacey is from California or someplace. They just have the same last name, which is common.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Stacey and Damon...There could Still Be a Connection!
 

The best way to get the 411 on celebrities most of the time is to go their official website or do research on the web. Stacey is from the Bronx.:rolleyes:

Re: Stacey and Damon...There could Still Be a Connection!
 

I have been to Damon's site before, and I have seen pics of him and Stacey together, as well of pics of him, Aaliyah and Stacey all at a BBQ. So there may be some truth in it that they are related.

Kiml122, I agree with you.

Eureka, I think I've got it.

I just reaad an article about a guy named Darien Dash who is starting some type of computer network company. They state in the article that he enlisted the help of his sister, actress Stacey Dash and his cousin, record CEO Damon Dash. So.....Stacey and Damon are cousins, not brother and sister.
