“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes has managed to take her reality television fame and became a real actress, and she’s currently starring in her own Bravo spinoff “I Dream of NeNe.” The show focuses on her as she and Gregg Leakes (who are now remarried) prepare to walk down the aisle for a second time. NeNe has made it clear on numerous occasions that she’s very proud of her success, and it seems like she doesn’t mind telling people about it on her Twitter account when she’s not throwing shade to former friend Marlo Hampton.
There’s been plenty of engagement news in Hollywood since it’s been confirmed that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West got engaged on the reality star’s 33rd birthday. Then of course it was just confirmed Sunday night that rapper Future also proposed to his girlfriend and now fiancee R&B singer Ciara on her 28th birthday. Both ladies are now rocking 15-carat engagement rings and it looks as if NeNe felt the need to remind people that she was rocking a 15-carat engagement ring before they were.
She tweets:
Many people thought it was shade and a little arrogant on NeNe’s part. It didn’t take long for her to get dragged for it too (read tweets from top to bottom):
We don’t think NeNe was shading Kim or Ciara (she’s friends with Kim), but we do have to say some of the reactions to the tweet were ruthless.
NeNe gets on my last nerve. She got a little reality TV money and now she thinks her back account looks like Beyonce’s. Girl sit down!
Yeah but the difference is Kim and Ciara’s men can afford the ring…
LOL!
Her head has gotten so big she’s annoying. In about 10 years, she’ll be broke. She tries to hard to make it seem like she has money that she’s spending it like a wannabe.
Girl stop. You weren’t the first person to get a 15 carat ring. And I still question if you can even afford yours.
She tries way too hard!!!!
NeNe will be filing for bankruptcy in about 5 years.
I hollered at the person who told her that her ring was on payment plan. Hilarious.
NeNe is the definition of new money. She thinks she’s richer and more important than she really is. She’s spending like her net worth is up there will Oprah. If she continues, she will be broke when RHOA is over for good. RHOA won’t be around forever.
Oh NeNe please. Humble yourself immediately.
NeNe bought that ring herself and could probably barely afford it. Gregg ain’t got that kind of money. He’s broke and filed for bankruptcy like three years ago. People stay lying and flossing trying to impress strangers. It’s the dumbest ish ever to me.
Dead at her ring being on a payment plan!
Sorry but she needed this dragging. She’s gotten too cocky for her own good.
Yikes. Those replies were cold.
Nene is doing her thing. I don’t know why people don’t like her so much. She may not have Kim K money or even Ciara’s but she’s doing better than most. I love her!
LMAO.
When Twitter flossing goes horribly wrong.
*blank stare* NeNe might want to turn it down a notch. Most of already knows she’s not as “rich” as she says she is.
Somebody just wanted attention because all this engagement news made people forget about her staged second wedding to Gregg. I believe they “divorced” to get their own show and keep Gregg’s debt from eating up NeNe’s money.
LOL. Hilarious.
NeNe please have a whole stadium of seats.
Materialistic people annoy me. They spend all this money on rings and none of them can stay married. They could have kept it simple and put that money towards investing or even their kids education. But nope, all of them are too busy trying to stunt and impress people that don’t even know them personally. Then they will file for bankruptcy when the money dries up.

15 carat does not mean quality. Its all about the 3 C’s. Cut, clarity and color. Ciara clarity doesn’t look all that
