Sommore revealed in a interview years ago that she and her baby sister Nia aren’t really close. “We share the same father but we’re not necessarily sisters,” Sommore explained. She says that she and Nia weren’t raised together.

Although these siblings don’t have a tight sister bond, they still have love for each other and their craft.

  1. My prayers are with you and your family during this time of your father’s passing. May the grace of God bring you all comfort. He was our neighbor and a friend. Rest in peace Doc.

  2. If you color him Dad, it is that to you. You don’t have to justify it with anyone. Mine was estranged also, but to me HE was Daddy…we made each other. He made a Child, I made him Dad. RIP to your Dad. God bless you.
