TRANSCRIPT:

Alexandria Ikomoni: Next question: Who were the top three Black male heartthrobs from the ’90s?

Alexandria Ikomoni: My first one. My husband.

Chelsea LeMore-Monroe: Oh, your husband?

Alexandria Ikomoni: I know he’s married, but it’s okay. Morris Chestnut.

Chelsea LeMore-Monroe: Mm-hmm. That man is. 

Alexandria Ikomoni: So fine.

Alexandria Ikomoni: He was fine then. He is fine now. He’ll be fine in the future.  

Alexandria Ikomoni: Next would have to be Keith Sweat.

Chelsea LeMore-Monroe: Whining Keith Sweat. Okay? You like a man that begs? I like that.

Alexandria Ikomoni: When I think back in the day, I have to say I appreciated the bad boy. That’s why I’m going with Tupac. Rest in peace.

Chelsea LeMore-Monroe: Oh, Tupac. He’s a very attractive man. 

Alexandria Ikomoni: Yes, he acted as well. You can just kind of see him in a different element, different vibe that added to his attractiveness to me. That’s why I say Tupac.

Chelsea LeMore-Monroe: The beautiful bone structure.

Alexandria Ikomoni: Yes. Oh, yes. And I was here for the nose piercing. 

Alexandria Ikomoni: All right. We’re talking ’90s heartthrobs. This guy ushered in the light-skinned era. I’m talking about Al B. Sure.  

Chelsea LeMore-Monroe: He was not my cup of tea, but my mother loved him.

Chelsea LeMore-Monroe: Number two, LL Cool J.

Chelsea LeMore-Monroe: He would lick his lips and have the one pant leg up. He ushered in some style. He was very attractive. I still think he’s attractive. 

Chelsea LeMore-Monroe: Now, number three, I think he is a literal, beautiful, gorgeous man. Tyson Beckford. 

Chelsea LeMore-Monroe: Oh, in the ’90s he was on every runway. He also has this strong mystique.

Alexandria Ikomoni: We got a good list.
