James Brown's Widow, Tomi Rae Rocks So Much Harder Than You

Tags: Tomi Rae, James Brown, Fucking Crazy



The Godfather of Soul, James Brown, sadly passed away this last Christmas. The only possible upside to this is that we got to meet Tomi Rae, his crazy-eyed widow. In this short interview clip from Entertainment Tonight, she emotionally reacts to a tabloid cover about her late husband then lets fly some sweet, future ringtones like:

"He had to be fly, OK? All the time..."

"But that was part of the je ne sais quoi of James Brown...is that you didn't get it"

"Papa didn't take no mess...None."


and my personal favorite:

"And he said, 'I kill you if you leave'...and I rolled over, and he missed me!"


Look in her eyes—she's seen more crazy shit than the 10-craziest people you have ever met could imagine. I see reality shows in Tomi's future. Are you listening VH1?

Meet Tomi Rae

No shit. I was waiting for her to dive on the interviewer and tear her throat out.

Wonder what the hell she's strung out on?
