Teyana Taylor claps at Kayla Nicole Shade

Teyana Taylor had time this week. The singer and actress claps back and responds to Kayla Nicole's comments about her on Angel Reese's podcast.

On the latest episode of “Unapologetically Angel,” Nicole hinted at her past love life, saying that she broke up with someone who ended up dating a singer and actress who was “famous” at the time.

Oh, the shadow. “I was dating a guy and he left me via text message and he left me for this famous singer/actress at the time,” she said in the podcast episode. She continued that her ex “lied about it for months” and then “got out” with his new girlfriend. “It became kind of a public thing and you were like, 'Oh my God, we love her.' “Another iconic celebrity relationship,” she added.

Nicole then said that while she was “heartbroken” over the breakup, she dressed up as his ex's new girlfriend for Halloween this year. “It went viral, it was everywhere,” she explained. While she said she would “never do that again” and had “grown so much,” she said she “had a lot of fun doing it.”

Well, the second this interview hit the internet, it did its job and immediately put two and two together to find out that for Halloween 2016, Nicole was dressing up as Teyana Taylor in her iconic look from Kanye West's “Fade” music video had.

Of course, all the online conversations apparently made their way to Taylor, who wrote under an Instagram post The shadow room about Nicole and her Halloween. She explained: “It's really crazy that anyone is allowed to harass me and be tasteless… ANYONE is allowed to play… while I move with grace. ALWAYS!”

Then she said, “Screw the Iman part,” and wrote that she was happily divorced but that Nicole’s words were “very tasteless and inappropriate.”

She added that by mentioning the Halloween story, Nicole “would please people.” She continued: “So automatically my name is attached to the nonsense.”

She even posted on Instagram all the projects she is planning. “I know 2025 is no longer expected to see a Taylor,” she wrote in the post, which listed titles like her upcoming Dionne Warwick biopic, a Ryan Muprhy TV series and more.

Another shared similar sentiments, writing: “Kayla said what she did was crazy.” We all said what she did was crazy. It was unjustified for Teyana to step in and say things as if a black woman had pulled the black card, even though it was legitimate racism she was dealing with.”
