He was in town on tour with Martin Lawrence , who he said is someone he looks up to, so also discussed the butterflies he gets doing standup comedy. Even after all these years, he said it doesn’t get old and explained how this particular “Lit AF” tour with Marty Mar reminds him of opening up for “The Kings of Comedy.” And while Rickey has grown to be an influence to others, he shared how comedians Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy actually inspired him.

“85-Year-Old Bowlegged” Quincy Jones Issues Public Apology For Interviews At Urging Of His Daughters

(Donato Sardella/WireImage for Disney Consumer Products) Quincy Jones Issues Public Apology For “Word Vomit” In Interviews A few weeks ago Quincy Jones set the world on fire with back-to-back BLAZING hot interviews that managed to shed light on a plethora of public personas, including Michael Jackson, Marlon Brando , The Beatles, Ivanka Trump, Richard Pryor and Marvin Gaye. Well it seems after some time and a dressing down by his daughters he’s realized that he may have gone too far. Quincy took to Twitter to apologize. pic.twitter.com/xCYAqJ6oD2 — Quincy Jones (@QuincyDJones) February 22, 2018 Notice he’s saying sorry, but not that any of it wasn’t true. And we also noticed he put bowlegged in there. Think he’s shopping for some more girlfriends?

Richard Pryor’s Daughter Rain Says Black Folks Who Actually Believe Her Father Smashed Brando Are The Reason Trump Is In Office

Richard Pryor’s Daughter Blasts Quincy Jones And Everyone Who Believes Him Richard Pryor’s daughter is fed up with everyone sipping her deceased father’s “tea” by way of Quincy Jones’ loose lips in his recent interview with Vulture. Rain Pryor says that Quincy Jones is losing his mind in his old age and seeking attention by regurgitating old tired rumors about her father’s sexual proclivities, and his widow is only “validating” it out of hate for her deceased husband and a desire for legitimacy. Rain doesn’t believe the stories about her father one bit, and thinks you’re foolish and gullible if you DO. As she told the world off in a recent facebook post: All you who touted Faux News and preach about wanting blacks to be represented in a great light and then posted Q’s interview are irrelevant and full of your own BS. Q, was once a brilliant music producer who is losing his mind, and decided to garner publicity for himself with a sensationalized interview; and because y’all think and equate Fame and Money with decency, you ate it up like thirsty dogs, as he spewed out a lie about my father who’s not here to defend himself. Then on top of it all, my dad’s so-called widow validated it, because she needs to keep legitimizing herself and tarnish our dad even after he’s dead. She hated Q and Daddy. Y’all so thirsty and LOVE THEM but ever know the real source or full story, and you’re gonna wonder how 45 became president? WAKE UP!!! So read this, I don’t need you as a fan or a friend. I don’t need anyone in my life that thinks a sensationalized interview is relevant and “incredibly well done.” People who lie or share information to raise themselves up are bottom feeders no matter how much money or influence they have. Wrong is still wrong!!! #GTFOH I’m getting my millions the correct way, with integrity!!!! That’s all well and good, and we understand her reluctance to believe salacious details about her late father’s intimate sexual life…but we think there’s a strong chance her father’s wife and peers had a bit more firsthand knowledge about that side of her father than his little girl likely ever would. Besides, Pryor said he had dalliances with men out of his own mouth — on MORE than one occasion: Of course, the dead can’t speak for themselves. We can all agree that Quincy probably needn’t spill any tea but his own at this point in life… Getty/Facebook

Never Scared: Mo’Nique & Smirking Hubby Say They Don’t Fear Backlash From Oprah Because She Spoke TRUTH [Video]

Well, when you’ve burned such powerful bridges so badly…there really isn’t anything else to be afraid of. And did Richard Pryor tell Hollywood to suck anything…or did he have a pretty lucrative movie career?? Either way, she says she was “labeled” difficult to work with by the only folks who gave her a shot at a serious Oscar-contending role…but her burning desire to keep calling these people out with such vitriol YEARS after the fact is giving us some serious Janet Hubert bitterness tease … Do you think Mo’Nique is going too hard and focusing on the past too much…or is she justified in dragging up her perception of what happened to her acting career?
