"New Money, Honey" with Naturi Naughton-Lewis

Dylan and Connor are joined by Naturi Naughton-Lewis (The Great Gatsby, 3LW). The pop star, actress, director, producer, and icon of our dreams is bringing y’all some DRAMA! Back on Broadway after a roaring 20 years, Naturi stars as Jordan Baker in The Great Gatsby. Iconic bob, pivotal pants, and new money, honey! Naturi speaks about being the first Black woman to play this role full-time on Broadway, returning to her roots as a singer, and the power of manifesting. This is a full circle moment for the twins, as they saw Naturi as Little Inez in Hairspray back in 2007 and loved her in the Fame film. Trust we get into the 3LW lore, divas! Naturi opens up about reconciling with Adrienne Bailon, memories from the TRL tour with Destiny’s Child (and Mama Tina Knowles!), and hard-learned lessons as a teenager in the music business. We cover Naturi’s appearances on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” with Pinky Cole, being Phaedra Parks' twin, and if she’d ever do reality TV. As you know, playas gon’ play, but real ones are coming through to see Naturi in this “New Gatsby” era alongside Ryan McCartan, China Anne McClain, and Corbin Bleu.
