Yaya Dacosta on HONEYDRIPPER (Exclusive Interview)

[altonioify]

she is hot and wet

[ebonyrose316266]

does anyone know where I can find instructions on how to tie a head wrap like the one she's wearing here? thanks

[stillphil]

WIFEY.



[sMac3322]

wowowwww she is pretty, i think im in loveeeee

[obiwashere]

yaya baby actors don't perform. Atleast good ones

[nefferteri2]

WoW You are beautiful!!!!

[mjs961]

Wow! She has all the tools to be extremely successful. As soon as she gets a small break she is going to blow up. (it may have been in The Kids are Alright, we'll see)

[SchmecktSus]

what's called like the thing on her head during the interview? can somebody, please, tell me? love yaya! <3

[mjjcng8958]

i hate how they tried to change her on top model she is beautiful

[aurianaserena]

@mjjcng8958 She got the last laugh. Whatever happened to Eva, the "winner"?

[mjjcng8958]

@aurianaserena i know her hair was fierce and natural and the lady told her she was too afro centric. i love her. eva is working i guess but yaya is my favorite

[Beesahili]

@sggyeyebag,she is great&very African like all of us.Whether she was born in Brazil or US doesn't make a heck of a difference.Did u listen to her grammar?She is intelligent&wise if u haven't noticed.I guess u've confused the word "intelligence"with wisdom.A kid in grade1 can be intelligent(quick to undersstand&learn)& an adult in college may be intelligence as well.Wisdom is acquired through the slow turning wheel of time.It's the application of knowledge for the betterment of oneself&humankind.

[backto1960]

THIS BITCH IS FLAWLESS. SHE WAS FLAWLESS IN THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT AND SHE'S GOING TO BE IN TRON LEGACY. FLAWLESS, TALENTED, INSPIRING. HATERS TO DA LEFT!!!

[Ajst5]

Two words: Wifey Material.

[ElyaThorn]

Wow, I absolutely love her!

[cynmille2000]

I ran into YAYA at my job ine day. She came in to do take care of some buisness. When I seen her I said to myself "she is from Top Model" I approach her and told her I was happy that she was on Top Model and that she was a role model for alot of young girls. She stood there and stared at me and gave me a "what are u bothering me for look" I was shoced that she was so rude. She had a nasty attitude on top model and believe me thats just how she is. Yaya dont forget the struggle. HUMBLE UR SELF

[SISOWOW]

and jesus is my father.

[SISOWOW]

her attitude on topmodel wasn't nasty. Panel just needed sth to criticize her ,cause she was by far the best model there.

[hihosilverlining2]

@cynmille2000 - you can see that even in this interview. Silly isn't it?! Especially when you were being nice to her. People forget that they are just people just like everyone else!

[MackTheKnife12]

@cynmille2000 You prolly caught here on a bad day...It ain't that deep

[SISOWOW]

she has a role in ugly betty, good for her.

[susuilu]

she is really proud and beautifull!!!

[sugarfreemars]

beautiful sista

[prestige334]

Yaya looks great.

[Eclectic7891]

0:10 - 0:18

I normally like Yaya but that was a dumb thing to say. Most of the greatest directors in the industry don't write their own scripts. I didn't understand what point she was trying to make.

[VampireMaiden72]

I think she means that it's important to him because it's his brain-child rather than the creation of another person.

[josephjmg18]

Well a script can be bad based upon direction and it could be good. It's so many directions a director can go in for a script. So that would still give director equal credit for a film. Not legally, but they have as much to do with the creation of a film.

[dekeke999]

obama is intelligent but he is not arrogant,it doesnt take a lot to be humble.i know very intelligent educated people who never brag or tell anyone how intelligent they are but let the intelligence speak for itself.

People who are pompous like Yaya have a lot of insecurities and feel like if they talk about their education they will measure up.

[backto1960]

We have a troll on our hands. Ignore it; it will die

[SISOWOW]

But she has another familie backround than the most Afro Americans, her mother ist Brazil i think and her father comes from Nigeria and he dedicates her into the African culture. But if u think that she is liying and want to put herself high than u must think the same thing from Sean Combs, Alicia Keys and the other famous black people from Harlem and for me she isn't a Heroe, for me she is a very beautiful and confident woman.

[dekeke999]

Sean Combs is from Brooklyn he has money but lots of kids with different women.Alicia Keys broke up someone s marriage.

You know what there is a thin line between arrogance and confidence and she has a big ego and another thing beauty fades with time and she is starting to fade off look at her pictures now 5 yrs after top model and in showbusiness thats your meal ticket.

[SISOWOW]

Yes and all black people from harlem are lying and no one is normal.

[dekeke999]

go to the hood in new york you will die there

[SISOWOW]

Apart from that i think she was a bit arrogant in ANTM because she is very intelligent and there were very dumb girls like Norelle or Ann and if u are from France u should know that American people are very worldly innocent, but why she fade off, she is no longer a model she is an actress and she has no professionell photos.

[dekeke999]

if she is so intelligent what is she doing in modelling or acting,that doesnt require intellect.She isan undergard not a phd there is nothing that she does that reflect intelligence.

its stupid african males like you who caused africa to be colonized,because you are easily duped by appearances.

[saggyeyebag]

@SISOWOW But is she intelligent? Everyone seems to go on and on about how Yaya is intelligent, but I have not seen any evidence of that whatsoever. In fact, quite the opposite. Well she's not exactly articulate, is she? But she obviously has the ability to work hard, and anyway she's a good actress and exceptionally beautiful.

[LVishere]

@saggyeyebag What is she supposed to do? Use big words every time she opens her mouth? She is educated because she graduated from Brown university...an ivy league school. How u doin?

[saggyeyebag]

@LVishere I agree that she is educated, but I don't think she is any more intelligent than average. Being intelligent is not the same as being educated. If you watched her on ANTM then you will see that she did make frequent attempts to use "big words" but she didn't seem to know what any of them meant.

Not that it's a crime... being educated is more important.

[LuniaVideo]

@saggyeyebag Knowing big words doesn't make you smart. One mark of intelligence is humility and Yaya is very humble.

[SISOWOW]

If i compare a photo from 2004 with one of 2009 i can not see a fade off

[dekeke999]

because you are blind and thats why west africa is a mess,its due to stupid people like you.i take it that you are male you worship other women and not your own african women.if u are over 18yrs its obvious you have a white girlfriend not a burkinabe girlfriend.

[SISOWOW]

firstly she was on the brown university and this university in one of the hardest in the USA.

secondly my girlfriend is from nigeria and grew up here in germany

thirdly i don't like white woman and i never had one as a girlfriend and i will never have one, i don't like the white skin it's unatractive for me, i'm also not blind and not stupid and i don't know yaya personally and u too and fact is that this girl is pretty

[SISOWOW]

I hope this will be my last reply here, i don't know why u can hate a person u dont know personally so much, i think u are a very spiteful person andu are not my niveau and talking with u is like talking with piece of shit, because 90% you are posting is rubbish for the bin and u make untruth conclusions about me and other people u don't know (Yaya).

[dekeke999]

I think one day you will be disappointed by your fantasy and i hope you will come to your senses and realize that its showbusiness everything is an act.

[josephjmg18]

Showbusiness is a business, a career. Every career is about acting a certain way. So, whats the deep point you are trying to make.

[Eclectic7891]

dude, you have this wierd obsessive stalker like obsession with yaya. You trash her on every video. If you hate her so much, why waste your time?

[amharjew]

ya ya is only 28 or 29..and she is engaged to a 50 yr old black man..cmon..20 some yrs apart he is a actor looks like a opportunity move to me...lets round it off....30 to 50=20 years ...cmon.

[dekeke999]

she is an opportunist but one day its going to backfire.I think if you use people to get ahead one day its gonna come backand haunt you.Yes the dude has three grown up kids his name is john jelks

[SISOWOW14]

he is talking shit, he's a damn racist and he's a little latino from el salvador and his hobbies are talking bullshit about people he don't know.

[dekeke999]

I am french why would i care about a nigger

[SISOWOW14]

oh nice i'm from germany and my parents are from burkina faso so i can come to you and bash your damn white ass with my baseball bat.

[dekeke999]

nigger means someone who is stupid an idiot you are not black american i understand.go to america now they hate africans they dont even want to be known as african they would rather be known as nigger,hoodrat,gangster,gangba­ngers,jumpoff,hos,buffoons than to be called african

[SISOWOW]

yes u know that, a damn white french dude xD

[dekeke999]

i lived in new york and chicago and i know what i am talking about,BLACK AMERICANS HATE AFRICANS,you should be focusing on real africans not Yaya who probably has never been to NIGERIA WHERE SHE CLAIMS TO COME FROM but has been to Europe and nigeria is not faraway from europe.she is a phony a scam

[SISOWOW]

I know that Africa is not faraway from Europe i was a few times in Burkina Faso to visit my Garndparents, but  talking about her that she has an abortion or sth. like that is really really nasty cause u can't prove it.

[dekeke999]

go to america you will be enemy no.1 of african americans they hate africans more than white people its common knowledge.

[SISOWOW]

when u said that, the last time i was in america i was 5 years old i think

[dekeke999]

you know what my friend I used to like African Americans before i went to live in North America,but once i was there i was disgusted by the dysfunction.Unmarried mothers,brothers not working,lazy men spent all their time doing drugs,down low that is men who sleep secretly with other men,the video hos its a total mess I would waste my time on these folks if you are African they are all the same,slavery destroyed their brains.

[SISOWOW]

yes i know, but there the situation between black and white is another than in europe, in europe the white people are mostly very friendly to the black immigrants. Now i can understand your opinion but saying to her that she is a hood rat and telling wrong things about her is very snaky, but families like Yaya's are ray of hopes in the American situation.

[dekeke999]

Yaya is a New Yorker and lives in the hood its rough and tough,there is nothing soft about this girl.These girls say and do anything to get ahead even if it means lying.I dont believe anything that comes out of her mouth.I think she puts herself too high than she really is.I just wonder why we are giving her unnecessary publicity.I urge you my friend to look for African heroes like Mandela,nkurumah or Obama ,celebrate your real african heroes not fake africans even Akon can be your idol

[SISOWOW]

But she has another familie backround than the most Afro Americans, her mother ist Brazil i think and her father comes from Nigeria and he dedicates her into the African culture. But if u think that she is liying and want to put herself high than u must think the same thing from Sean Combs, Alicia Keys and the other famous black people from Harlem and for me she isn't a Heroe, for me she is a very beautiful and confident woman.

[amharjew]

YOU ARE ALL going to be shocked when YA YA marries a WHITE MAN....you will see.

[dekeke999]

she is engaged to a 50yr old black dude,who is an actor on broadway

[amharjew]

this era in black history need to be trashed, because this era of black history is showing black people leaving their african roots behind and becoming niggas...in the fact that they are not improving to leave and go back to africa, but iproving only to be social slaves in america and thats what blacks in 2009 are social slaves.

[dekeke999]

African Americans are niggers totally screwed up folks,the white men messed them up forever

[amharjew]

you are right african americans are niggers..they are screwed up because they elected to abandon their african roots and claim to be americans which they never were. so yea...anytime a GROUP OF PEOPLE RATHER BE CALLED,BLACK,NEGRO,NIGGER,NIGG­A,COLORED,AMERICAN,GAY,LESBIAN­,BITCH,HOE,HOMY,HOMEBOY,DOG,JI­GGA,

CALL THEM ANY OF THE ABOVE THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM..BUT WHEN YOU CALL THEM AFRICAN..THEY WILL CURSE YOU TO YOUR FACE...SO YOU RIGHT.

[breakofdawn26]

her head wrap is really amazing

[pharcelle]

Afrikan

[sleazzzzzydope]

don't you guys think that she would make a wonderful couple with wentworth miller? i sure think so...they both look as being very confident and stubborn...

[backto1960]

I kinda agree.

[asderasder50]

she is more beautiful than tyra banks. She is also the most beautiful black woman in America.

[hihosilverlining2]

@asderasder50 - wow you really dig this chick don't you lol

[asderasder50]

she is afro centric and she is also a great actress. I love her she is so cute, omg :O

[candycemichelle88]

Yaya has Brazilian, West African, Native American, Cherokee and Irish blood.

[savedproud]

NO! she is BRAZILIAN with west AFRICAN HERITAGE of the YORUBA TRIBE. Anything else she has in a blood is a very small percent like most other black people. Even africans have other races in their blood such arabian and indian. I do not know why people like you try to make it seem like successful blacks are not fully black. Who is full anything; whites are not even full white. If Mariah Carey is mixed race then Yaya Dacosta is black enough.

[Starship0000000]

YaYa is so beautiful inside and out.A strong educated sistah who is not afraid to be herself.She is a breath of fresh air

[marcdaddy33]

Yaya's my future wife.

[ElyaThorn]

@Starship0000000 Yes, she really is a breath of fresh air and I love the fact that she has stayed true to herself even on the show (ANTM). She has personality and she's not going to change that for anyone and anything.

[Pirate7X]

New respect for her.

She's obviously a well-reared, culturally aware sister. Her sense of self & confidence I beleive intimidates many, including some haters here on YT.

She IS African regardless of her nationality and know that Brazil has the largest population of African decendants outside the continent.

Save your envy haters, learn from her.

Respect & success to Yaya.

Props to Sayles, Glover & the whole cast!

[animechic25]

don't get me wrong I appreciate natural beauty just as much as the next. But yaya having natural hair doesn't make her real. first off she aint african she is brazilian. secondly she had a nose job and if I stand corrected she was starting all that trouble getting them white gurls againt eva because she felt intimadated real talk! If she was so proud she would be honest about where she is from she aint african she is afro-centric, she shouldn't have did that to eva is she was so "black."

[SoldAFrikanPrincess]

There are Afrikans in Brazil, just as there are afrikans in America, hence "african american."

[animechic25]

I understand that black people all over the world get their origins from Africa. But they are descendent no the indiginous ones. Some people feel like keeping your hair natural or wrapping it makes you so African. African is more than a look its a life beside many africans today wear weaves and perms look at the girl from college hill did her hair make her any less african?

[acfg1989]

whatever. who cares.

[ladylittles]

Everywhere I look, I see Yaya. I have seen Eva only once.

[tbdy75]

Yaya is Gorgeous!!! A REAL SISTA

[albertiskiarie]

Yaya is intelligent,beautiful,real,car­ing and proud to be AFRICAN,the latter being what others are scared of.i really admire her and her courage to stand up for who she is.beauty 10,hair10,body 10,sex appeal 10,education 10,billingual 10,photoghyenic 10,not to mention she won five challenges,even the POPE cant compete with her.Tyra is cool though,i admire her and all the help she has given to all the girls,including Yaya[she sent her to see a dermatologist].

[texastootall]

I love yaya, proud natural beauty.

[ibbysgurl]

I still think she should have won Cycle 3.

[hotnumber24]

So do I, actually.

[loveNcolor]

I want some mo' of Ya Ya yo!

[missellae]

Beautiful..classy..natural..nu­bian. Kill'em girl you're one in a million!!

[SinnamonS]

YAYA is soooo classy and I believe when she was on top model tyra was jealous

[africanlit]

I know right? I was thinking the same thing. Tyra couldn't believe there was a proud, smart and beautiful woman out there who loves herself and doesn't wear massive amounts of weave.

[SinnamonS]

Hahaha very true! Tyra is a gimmic she is a character and cant handle a more quiet and classy beautiful black woman

[2flawless80]

You are spot on. Great intuition, when i looked at ANTM i said Tyra is intimidated by this natural beauty. It give her a reality check under all that wig and make up. She said to Yaya, "yes i wear weave but that doesn't mean i am not a black woman." Why did she need to validate this to Yaya? One word, insecurity. I love Eva but think Yaya was more consistent, she won almost all those challenges. Yaya didn't won ANTM because Tyra wanted her to act less confident to make her fake ass feel better.

[breakofdawn26]

I agree Tyra is a real character

[SistaQueen88]

i'm still trying to figure out why ANTM is still on air. It's always the black girls that have attitudes when them other girls be causing the drama! and seriously, YaYa shoulda won. i guess she's too real to be a "top model".

[breakofdawn26]

I'm so glad I cut my cable off months ago. I haven't kept up with ANTM and I believe I lost some brain cells when I used to watch it. I notice tyra was casting the same type of girls white produces would cast in order to make all blk women look one way. Then the white women are portrayed as innocent and not a problem. Eventhough like you said they cause all the drama. Your on point!

[AngeloftheBx]

damn shes beautiful

[africanlit]

Hell yeah, gimme me some Yaya.

[iluvlycheenuts]

She's so fly! That's my girl ;-)
