Fake Deep Celebs Who Leave Us Scratching Our Heads

We’ve all had those moments when we read a celeb quote that made us roll our eyes and shake our heads because the star absolutely tried it. Thanks to social media, you can always expect a head-scratch worthy quote from a fake deep celeb. Let’s take a look at 11 times celebs did the absolute most.

Kanye West

“One of the problems with being a bubbling source of creativity – it’s like I’m bubbling in a laboratory, and if you don’t put a cap on it, at one point it will, like, break the glass. If I can hone that… then I have, like, nuclear power, like a superhero, like Cyclops when he puts his glasses on.”

*Gives serious side-eye*

Raven Symoné

“I am from every continent in Africa except for one and I’m also from every continent in Europe except for one.”

So much failure in one sentence. Get her a geography textbook, stat!

Azealia Banks

“I don’t care what people think, because people don’t think.”

While this may be one of the least controversial things Banks (known for contradicting her statements every week)  has said publicly, it may also be the fake deepest.

Beyoncé

“Sometimes it’s overwhelming. Why did God give me my talent, my gift, my family? But I know you’re not supposed to question God.”

The Beyhive may not agree, but Mrs. Carter tries a little too hard on a regular basis.

T.I.

“I can’t really see myself as an artist. Now, to step out here and there, do it when I feel like it, that’s a possibility. But for me to be a full-fledged, full-time artist in the industry, I don’t think so.”

What are you even talking about, Tip?! Oh, well. Better fake deep than constantly playing Iggy Azalea’s public defender. 

Steve Harvey

“How can smart women be so stupid about men sometimes? Lack of knowledge. It’s what men have kept secret for so long.”

It was hard to only pick one quote. Harvey has built an empire on these little Deepak Nope-rah type statements.

Common

“Me as a black man, I’m not sitting there like, ‘Hey, white people, y’all did us wrong.’ We know that existed,” Common said. “I don’t even have to keep bringing that up. It’s like being in a relationship and continuing to bring up the person’s issues. Now I’m saying, ‘Hey, I love you. Let’s move past this. Come on, baby, let’s get past this.’” The entire record skipped when Common made these comments on The Daily Show. Stick to rocking the mic and save the philosophical mumbo jumbo, love. 

David Banner

We grow. Either the information is or it is not. The messenger is only that. A messenger. — DAVID BANNER (@THEREALBANNER) April 25, 2015

The wounds are still healing from this confusing tweet from rapper turned philosopher David Banner. Is that a tweet or a cry for help?

Brian White

“You can’t call it a stereotype if it’s the majority. The most prevalent image in ‘urban society’ right now is women like Nene [Leaks]. If there’s a fight that breaks out on “Love & Hip Hop” those people are one every blog, the cover of every magazine the next week. It’s not Taraji or Gabrielle, it’s whoever just got into a fist fight.

When we use the term here in America, and say ‘black movies,’ that has no reference for the rest of the world. Look at ‘Luther,’ Idris just won a Golden Globe for ‘Luther,’ that is NOT a black show, it’s a British show. British don’t see color they see quality. People who watch BBC don’t go, ‘oo’ there’s that black show, nah. Most African Americans were not even aware of ‘Luther’ because it’s not a stereotypically urban themed show. Once we in America start focusing on quality first and telling human stories that connect with everybody that might want to watch it, the problems will solve themselves.”

Will they though? Brian White put his foot in his mouth when speaking on stereotypes of black women in Tyler Perry films a few years back. His career (if he ever truly established one), hasn’t been the same since.

Tyrese

When speaking on “minute men,” Tyrese had this to say:

“Well see they got this thing about minute men. And so, when you’re a minute man, women get mad. But it’s actually a compliment because if you’re in the bed for like 45 minutes and nothing is happening, you should get your life together.”

Wait…what?!
