T-Boz Says Left Eye Would Be The Female Kanye West If She Was Still Alive

T-Boz Believes If Left Eye Was Still Alive Today She Would Be The Female Kanye West

This weekend is the premiere of TLC’s new documentary “TLC Forever” where T-Boz and Chili talk about the highs and lows of their career, including the passing of their late group member Lisa “Left-Eye” Lopes.

In the documentary, T-Boz jokes about how Left-Eye would fit right into the culture of today, comparing her to Kanye West himself.

It’s no secret that Left-Eye was a very outspoken and opinionated person. T-Boz believes if she were still here today she would be the “Female Kanye” because she would say whatever is on her mind and not give 2 F’s about it!

“I said that because Lisa was always just saying things. If she had Twitter fingers, she’d be all over the place and have something to say about everything and not care. She’d be making all of the shocking comments,” Watkins says.

“And Kanye was the only comparison I could think of about what my sister would be like now.” Based on what T-Boz said, Lisa might’ve given Kanye a run for his money.

During her brief solo career, Lopes scored two US top 10 singles with “Not Tonight” and “U Know What’s Up”, as well as one UK number-one single with “Never Be the Same Again”, the latter a collaboration with Melanie C of the British girl group Spice Girls. She also produced another girl group, Blaque, who scored a platinum album and two US top 10 hits. Lopes remains the only member of TLC to have released a solo album.

On April 25, 2002, Lopes was killed in a car crash while shooting a documentary in Honduras. The vehicle she was in swerved off the road to avoid hitting another vehicle that stopped abruptly in front of them. The documentary was released as The Last Days of Left Eye and aired on VH1 in May 2007.
