R&B Divas LA’s Leela James Explains Fall-Out With Chante Moore
Leela James, Chante Moore
Season three of R&B Divas LA has been FULL of both drama and entertainment. If you’re an avid viewer of the hit TV One show, you witnessed the fall-out between cast member Chante Moore and a few of her cast mates. One in particular boiling beef included Chante and her Divas colleague, Leela James. On the finale episode, fans and critics saw a different side of Leela when the two got into a yelling match of their charity song.
In her TV One blog post, Leela explains what took her over the edge with Chante:
First and foremost, no she hadn’t been participating. She also asked to receive a percentage of the proceeds of the charity project, which was not going to happen. It wasn’t about, oh we’re a bunch of girls, everyone is being mean to her and don’t want her on the song. No. She asked to be petty. Who gets paid for a charity project? We just didn’t want to risk that presenting any problems. At the end of the day it wasn’t about me. It’s about the greater good. Anybody standing in the way of that, they need to go. Just like Harriet Tubman said, “If you ain’t trying to leave the plantation, then you stay.”

okay Leela, I’m sorry but your reason doesn’t hold water. All of that finger pointing, rudeness and bullying is over Chante asking about a 1% cut? If you don’t agree with it say no its all for charity and move on. All that I saw on tv is means girls ganging up on 1 person with no valid reason for this hate. I call BS on your explanation.
Leela u are just as ghetto as the others. Chante needs to do like crisette and leave the drama. I am officially done with this show.
Ive been watching this for awhile.Leela was one of the few that got involved in the nonsense.That situation with Chante was long over do.I just think that unlike the other ladies Chante career has cooled.I remember when she was hot back in the day.Now I know a few of the ladies are from back in the day.But,they still seem to have alittle buzz and may be booking some jobs.I dont think Chante has it like that and she still wants to be the “star”.And in wanting that she sometimes wants to appear superior to the other Divas.And the other ladies arent having that and theyre tired of her.
Chanté has shows just about every weekend. She stays busy, you should follow her and see what’s she’s up to. I would say the other ladies don’t have it like Chanté. Stacy is the one who wants to be a star. If Chanté leaves the show, then it will just be drama. Chanté and Brave are the only ones really holding weight for the show, especially Chanté.
Is this leela?
Sorry but Leela was a major contributor last season as well as this season. She just starts out more slower. There is nothing that transpired that is cause for Leela’s ugly actions. She showed her true colors this time. If she was really the loving peaceful sista she pretends to be, that 1% issue would not be this big. She is worse than Lil Mo because she thinks are action are above tacky but she is slithering on her snake with Lil Messy Mo and Stacy Strongjaw Francis
what!! your comment makes no sense at all. NONE
Vocally I think Chante Moore is the best vocalist out of all the women on this show. She is second to Michel’le in album sales. Both Chante and Chrisette are Grammy nominees. Although I really like Leela James (Especially her hair.), and her style, and how she’s bringing back that soulfulness to R&B. She is still an acquired taste for music lovers, and if you look at shear numbers, instead of people’s opinion Chante books more tour dates than Leela James, and her old songs are still played on the radio—Leela’s are not. I have not watched this episode set, but I do think so of the ladies are jealous of her looks, and her talent.
You are right Chante can sing.While you say she books shows I cant tell.She seems desperate on the show to get paid even when there is no compensation.She acts like she has to be the center of attention.While Im not a fan of Leela voice.I really like her personality on the show.
Actually they act like Chante has to be the center of attention.
Oh,where I live Chante isnt played much during our quiet storm old school.
According to Lil Mo non of them are on the radio. I don’t think it’s about radio anymore. Radio is dead. You have to book shows now to be paid.
Chante also has worked in more genre’s. She has Pop. R&B, Jazz, Easy Listening and Classical. Because she has no problem singing behind other artists, she has opened herself up to more and has a wider more diverse fan base
i can’t name any Leela songs, tbh. But I like her on the show and I think Chante is just bougie and they are mad. She can come off as catty and petty though.
I agree with you about Chante.
Chante isn’t bougie, she just doesn’t act as ghetto as they do
She’s not bougie, she’s old enough to know that she doesn’t have to carry on like that. That’s ghetto-ness that some of these women are portraying on the show. Lil’ Mo w/the “brah” or SF w/her being the best diva or Leela w/putting her finger in her face. All that is catty mess, and Chante’ chooses not to act in that manner.
You didn’t want her on the song but you wanted her name on they marquee so u could sell tickets. And you mad cause she asked for 1%? News flash, not all charitable events give all the proceeds to the cause. Some of them allot a percentage for some overhead costs like entertainment. Any person about their business would have asked you to explain what type of event you were having so that they would know how much they had to come out of pocket for. Question, did Warryn get paid? Hmm…
tell it, and thank you
All you guys talking alot. Make it personal. This was a charity event for cancer research. I heard someone ask sarcastically did Warren get paid. If you paid any attention he didn’t. He was on board even more because he himself is a cancer survivor. Leela stated from the beginning ALL proceeds go to charity. As serious as cancer is, the audacity to ask for a cut of proceeds. You supposed to be a diva and you all say she book so many shows. I would have came at her the same way. She played innocent last season and she only good with victimized people. Don’t get mad because Lil’ Mo, Leela and I’ll even say Stacy like to keep it real regardless of how the show it. You don’t know their stories with her behind scenes.
Neither one is REAL!!! all fake divas
Well CJ you weren’t paying attention. Warren Campbell was paid. He didn’t get a percentage of the proceeds but he was paid. The fact is Chante deserves everybody’s except for Chrisettes. She was everybody’s storyline. Leela’s behavior was so ignorant it was ridiculous. I’m not a Chante fan at all but wrong is wrong.
He was paid for the studio time not the song which is what we were talking about. Appreciate it Tonia.

Chante’ is the most professional, most sannnngin diva on this show! Sadly, we know that when someone’s storyline gets to boring, they have to pump it up….Leela! Then they brought the troublemaker on…no singing, wannabee Stacy. Lil Mo is just Lil Mo, dude from the hood who can sing her butt off. Michel’le … she can sing but girl is a little off and Brave has just surprised me. Wasn’t feeling her at first but she is a laid back yet confident & a real talent. Chrisette made the right move with her quirky but talented self, and I think Chante’ needs to follow. Chante’ is bad and her voice is flawless. She’ll be alright without all of these jealous haters. Leela should probably think about jumping ship too before the show makes her career go downhill, as it did with other past divas because of public perception.
I agree. If she does, I bet Lil Mo and Stacy will be at odds next season. The way Lil Mo acts, she can’t be trusted as far as you can see her. She is not a real friend.
Lil Mo baby having azz need the show. Leela is a nobody…Stacey plz go back you came from. This is the worst season ever, please get some real divas that we have heard of not Stacey having baby out of wedlock with the preaxher
Chante walk away already this show is bad for your image. Chrisette, left she was not about the drama, good. Leela is all pumped trying to get raidings, have a seat it didn’t look good on you. Lil messy Mo is just a tatooed ghetto mess looking to make money for some more ink, lol. Who actually wanted to go out with poppa Smurf? Girl bye! Stacey is a bulley trying to make a mark. No one ever heard of you you’ve never recorded anything chile bye. Brave you don’t need these hags do your own thing.
Finally, there is conversation about that Stacey Francis!!!!! She is so messy and willing to say or confront anyone just to stay on the show. She is tasteless and determined to destroy friendship on the mend. Who crowned her the spokesperson for Lil mo? How dare she confront Michelle’ at Chrisette’s bday party!! There is a time and place for everything. It wasn’t the time nor was it her place. Get rid of her PLEASEEEEEEE!!!!! She is MESSY!!! Brave I love you and stay out of the drama. Leela, it’s not that serious. Don’t make yourself look bad. You were one of my favorites nut if you keep it up you need to go as well!!
I can’t name a Leela James song. not 1 song..girl sitchoazz down if it wasn’t for Chante Moore and Michelle we wouldn’t be watchin
Chante is the only true diva on the show. The other women are intimidated and tried to run her away. Stacy “I’m the best singer in this area” Francis is a BIG JOKE. The producers messed up by putting her in the mix. She ruined the brand.
Chile this is wea the tea is at BOL da hell with kermit these posts had me rolling lol. I love Leelah and Chante they do Two separte works and they do well at them. I think it ws just a misunderstanding that they can get past however that 1% of a charity project that you didnt bring to the table iz a little bit sketchy lol. IJS yall dont kill me! Love the show love the cast cant wait for next season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #michel’le #leelajames #lilmoe my personal faves and. And da Francis lady really did say she was the best in the area= i dropped my blunt when she said that foolery kmsl. I CANT TAKE HER (the struggles of a hungry artist) she jus say any thang lol. Yall be blessed im tied of typing. follow me @tobiasrichkid IG & twitter
Leela really disappointed me this season with her bully like behaviors. I think these are her true colors and she was holding back in previous seasons. Why not just tell Chante that the 1% if charity is not cool and keep it movin. Sad that Brave is the only Diva to come to Chante’d defense. Chrisette also tried defending her on the part 1 of the reunion show.
Oh, and Lil Mo was foul for trying to get Chante kicked off the show with an ultimatum of ‘either she goes or I go’…of course Chante is staying and so is Lil Mo…but I already knew that! Shady though to try and stop Chante’s bread because she (Mo) is so bitter. They all forgive each other but go so hard on Chante who’s obviously no physical threat to any of them. Leela was wrong for trying to punk Chante w/ the finger in the face and the ‘u don’t want this’ comments when it’s obvious Chante is not a fighter. Not liking the ladies much this year.
