This is how we know black women file for divorce more than anyone. Breadwinners can’t be gone to get money. That’s good that Dave Chappell got a Filipina, even she knew to send him out to do shows, and those women want their men around.
Bill was really next to be the next superstar. He choose his family instead. You gotta respect that

Yeah these people can’t quit. once they in it they in it. It’s blood in blood out shit. Notice no musician actually retires. Like why wouldn’t they retire if they made tens of millions Of dollars already? Who want to be a musician for 3-4 decades touring, making albums and doing interviews etc? That shits definitely grueling.It also seem like they children get indoctrinated into the industry too.
Choosing your family first is never a wrong decision. IMO
I love Bill Bellamy, and I love him even more knowing he's got integrity to himself and his family FIRST!
Bill Bellamy is a great father and husband. I’m glad he made the sacrifice and put his family first over fame and money! Go black man

Think about the cats that had kids, and was NEVER there to see the precious moments, and wonder why now the kids don't really respect them or acknowledge them as "dad". Respect to Bill for seeing what's REALLY important...
Now that's grown man situation. Much respect for being there for you family physically, I was and I like seeing Brothers handle their responsibilities accordingly 💯
Hubby and I had our child in 2003, too (our firstborn). It changed our entire perspective of what's important in life. So, I get it. Glad to see BB is doing alright. 👏🏿
I’m proud of Bill Bellamy making a choice to be with his family and raise his family and not let the industry caused him to lose his family like so many have
So much respect to you for being Hubby and Daddy! $ cannot buy what your family will give you! If more parents did as you so many of these kids would know their own worth! Truly 💯 for you Bill! They grow so fast enjoy them while you all are young!
That is fantastic. I get tired of hearing about kids resenting their parents. He took the responsibility serious as he should have.
Bill Bellamy is one of the NICEST, MOST GRACIOUS PEOPLE EVER! Played pool with him before 😂 I’m always rooting for Bill! I grew up watching him and he one of the few who wasn’t wrapped up in being “Hollywood” great guy & funny comedian
That's awesome Mr. Bellamy! You were able to raise your children and to nurture your marriage. You don't get that time back, kids grow up so fast...twenty years fly by before you know it. Your priorities were in the right place. You have time to make more money
This cat took comics under his wing and gave them great opportunities. The love he shows young comics helps their confidence as a comedian in so many ways.
Hats off to you Bill. Best decision on the planet. They do grow fast and every minute that you know you could've spent with them brings later hours of regret.
Always had respect for this guy. I'm sure he was smart enough to invest his made money wisely to ensure generational wealth so that he doesn't have to slave himself out in Hollywood.

The great Bill Bellamy. I used to see this cat everyday on MTV back in the day in tha mid 1990s.
Hi Bill Bellamy I remember meeting you at the Bellevue Stratford Hotel I believe it was in 2011 and I was shocked out of my mind I was there for therapy and you signed my book you autograph the book that I was reading and you said Erica good to meet you and I just wanted to say I am so happy that you pick family over all everything God will bless you abundantly Hi family continue to be the fabric of a man that got intended you to be blessings always
Much Respect Bill putting family first....and also if it is true Much Respect on There's Boundaries you just won't cross......Blessings
He looks good! Come on back, Bill! ❤
That's cool he decided to raise his kids. I hope he makes a really great comeback. Play various roles to show his range.

Bill, I ain't even gonna lie, the only reason I noticed the snot drip at 1:18 was cause it's happened to me too before. You a comedian so you can appreciate the laughter I had watching you fight that snot from rolling down your nose. Thanks for the laughs growing up and now with that drip. Most importantly, thanks for putting family first. We need to hear positivity like that more often.
Hey Proud of you, when you gone from children sometimes they feel that you have left them , my grandkids father passed on from a hit and run. These babies be at the door looking for him, the older one tells the younger one he’s coming 😭 so I feel where you coming from Bill❤️
He was the brother I thought he was. Much respect! Family over fame and fortune. Great message " it ain't all about the money.i can't wait to support something you do.
Now that’s an incredible black man!! The ultimate goal is to be with a black man who honestly wants a family...& COMMITS TO THEM!!!

Respect for being a real man, time is our greatest commodity. Kids grow up fast and before you know it, they’re out the house. You didn’t take that time for granted. Success is also measured in many different ways. Raising good humans beings is priceless.
Most people wouldn’t understand it but I definitely did. Wasn’t in Hollywood, but Uncle Sam kept me deployed away from my family way too long. So long that I missed half of my oldest son’s life, who’s now a young adult. Retirement was a must so I could be around to raise my last (youngest) two.
This was hot that this brother prioritized his family, You can't get that time back. Much respect.
