[TENT]

Does OP know anything about Darius? Why would this be a shock? Wtf.

 

[TENT]

Thank you. Dumb niggas dont be know this shit.
So when a black man plays an instrument or does anything other than GANGSTER rap they are sell outs.

Country Music is BLACK Music.
Just like Rock& Roll is BLACK Music.
End Of Story.

 

[Adam Knows]

Why do so few people on BGOL read before they talk is a better question, TENT! Scan back and READ the first few words of my post? And the next sentence addresses WHY it would be a shock. And around the third sentence or so, I admitted Darius made me eat crow!

(Eat crow: INFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN ... be humiliated by having to admit one's defeats or mistakes.)

Now why did you need so much clarification on a short post that even donald trump would be able to comprehend? OK, maybe not trump but I hope you understand the point. You asked the very questions that the simply written post itself already answered!

Read the click bait thread title only.
My bad.

Don't worry, my points of view are sometimes so far out there we'll have many, many more opportunities to beef. Stay safe , sir!

He isn't 100% pro black though. I can't imagine being a black man and then creating a white child.
To knowingly have offspring that doesn't even look like you is extremely strange to me.

Darius Rucker and wife Beth Leonard split after 20 years of marriage

Darius Rucker and his wife of 20 years, Beth Leonard, are calling it quits.

The former Hootie and the Blowfish lead singer posted the news on Instagram Saturday alongside a photo of himself and Leonard at the 51st annual CMA Awards in 2017.


"Beth and I would like to share that after much reflection we have made the decision to consciously uncouple," the country singer wrote, borrowing a phrase that was first popularized by Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin when they divorced. "We remain close friends and parenting partners and continue to be each other’s biggest cheerleaders."

Rucker and Leonard are parents to daughter Daniella, 19, and son Jack, 15. The "Homegrown Honey" singer also has a daughter, Carolyn, 25, from a previous relationship.

I have mutual friends with one of his daughter's. We hung out maybe twice, she was hella cool, never talked about her pops, and picked up the tab

 

[Mr. Met]

Good for him.

Very soulful voice.

BTW:

The song is named for the village of Tucker's Town, Bermuda, the mostly black, working-class residents of which were compelled to sell their land in the 1920s to make way for a hotel and golf club, and an enclave where foreign millionaires and billionaires are permitted to own homes (Bermuda, from which South Carolina was colonised in 1670, was a frequent haunt of the South Carolinian band).

Good for him. As has been noted, it takes a certain amount of courage when you know it's going to affect your money. But, really, how much? His heyday is long past.

His last 4 albums were #1 or #2 on the country charts. In fact, the only album that didn't do too well was his first solo which was R&B. Country is his lane.

With that said, it's not like he had a chance to forget who he is. He's just over ignoring it. he also said this in the same interview.

“Really, you get to the point where you go, that’s just how it is. You know, when I was going to radio stations and you get guys telling me we’re not going to play you because you’re a Black guy and I’m just like ‘OK, that’s just the way it is.’ But I can’t live like that anymore,” he said. “I can’t just go ‘it’s OK’ and go on with my life and let somebody say something I know they shouldn’t say.”

As I already stated: wherever his music is played is not a place I visit.

Darius Rucker and Wife Beth Leonard Split After 20 Years of Marriage

Darius Rucker and his wife, Beth Leonard, are going their separate ways after 20 years of marriage. The country singer and Leonard announced that they have decided to "consciously uncouple" in a joint statement released on Rucker's Instagram on Saturday.

"Beth and I would like to share that after much reflection we have made the decision to consciously uncouple," the statement begins. "We remain close friends and parenting partners and continue to be each other’s biggest cheerleaders."

"Our priority will always be our beautiful family. We have so much love in our hearts for each other and will continue to encourage growth and expansion in one other. Please be kind as we take on this journey, and we thank you for your love and support always. — Darius & Beth Rucker," the statement concludes.

Rucker and Leonard met in 1998 when she was working for VH1 and Rucker was touring with Hootie & the Blowfish. The two got married in 2000. They are parents to 19-year-old daughter Daniella and 15-year-old son Jack. The country superstar is also father to 25-year-old daughter Carolyn, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Ann Phillips.

In an interview with Life of Dad in 2015, Rucker shared that he would want his children to not get into the music biz.

“If they were to ask me what I wanted them to do singing would be the last thing I would want them to do. Go be an engineer. Go be a doctor. Go get a real job. Get a family and live a great life," he expressed.

The news comes a day after Armie Hammer and his wife, Elizabeth Chambers, also announced that they had decided to part ways after 10 years of marriage. Other celebrity couples who have recently split include Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock, Kasey Musgraves and Ruston Kelly, and Jordana Brewster and Andrew Form, among others.
