There's no bad blood there, that sisterly bond was never established. Not all siblings are close. Even the ones who grew up in the same household aren't at times. They both have created their own successful path. So aye, keep prospering ladies.

It's was the Father's responsible to bring the Girls together.

I grew up with my siblings and I don't affiliate with the oldest 2, I outgrew that bond,trust and loyalty... When you're betrayed by your own siblings you tend to not care to trust or affiliate with not many..

They don't talk about each other because they respect each other. ♥️

I actually respect Sommore for not trying to get a free ride on Nia's name when they pretty much didn't have a relationship at all. Much love to them both and for not being ratchet about not being close.

I don’t think it’s drama. I think it’s life. ❤

I know someone who found out at his father's funeral that he had 3 siblings in another state. Had no idea until they showed up for the funeral. The siblings weren't trying to create drama. They just wanted to pay their respects and they were also tired of hiding. My friend was able to build some kind of bond with one of them. Not brotherly, but at least friendly. All of this creeping around has consequences, especially for the children.

I remember Nia Long saying that she heard her momma many times asking for child support. Seeing her crying because they had problems with him not providing financial support. I think she said her mom started driving a bus and teaching to support them. She said that why she's so independent. She promised herself she wouldn't be put in that position in her love life.🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

As an adult with siblings who grew up in different households, I understand where they are with their relationship. It’s hard to know someone as a sibling if you didn’t grow up together doing things same household siblings do. In situations like these, it’s up to the parents to help the kids when they’re young enough to make those bonds. By the time one reaches adulthood, it’s like the ship has sailed and the relationship and bonding isn’t as much of a priority. I don’t think it’s intentional on their part. It’s just a common albeit unfortunate outcome of their circumstances.

I can actually see facial similarities. They're both beautiful. This is why it's important for adults to help make that bond when siblings are young.

That’s life! My sisters and I are not close as adults and we grew up in the same household. Parents can play a part in the closeness of their children.

I have a sister and we weren’t raised together.She was raised in Georgia and I was in Michigan.We spent time with each other one summer. She was like 13 and I was 10 but she always called and reached out to me. When we became adults we grew closer and she ended up being my best friend . Our bond was unconditional and Unbreakable. I just recently lost her a day before her birthday and I tell you it’s the hardest thing I ever had to endure. But I’m at peace knowing we had built a bond , a closeness that we built together. And that we knew we loved each other

Nia Long is a spitting image of her mother.

I can completely understand their lack of closeness. I have eight siblings. We were all separated as young children and placed into foster care. At the time, I was two yrs old. Though we had sibling visits, the bond faded away because we were all separately bounced from one home to the next. I got to one foster home, and the lady wanted to adopt myself and two of my sisters, but one sister didn't want to stay, and the other was far too out of control. When I was asked if I wanted to stay, I said YES! This lady adopted me at six and became my mother, the best mother! This was the BEST decision I ever made, knowing nothing about choices and impact at such a young age. Anyway, my sisters and I found each other when I was about 17 yrs old, but we were SOOOOO different that I could not form a sibling bond with them, though I really tried. I tried to help them in various ways over the years (financially, housing, raising their kids), but there was always drama no matter how kind I was, which further made me not want anything to do with them. Today, in my 30s, I have accepted that we are not siblings. We were born by the same people, but our parents are not the same, and we have many cultural differences. I don't know them aside from the negativity, and they don't know me aside from the rumors and stories they make up about me, and that's just not the energy I am willing to have in my life. So I wish them them the best, the ones that are still alive...

I actually met Sommore several times she’s my best girlfriend’s family friend. My bestie mom babysat her when she was little kid. She’s a sweetheart and very down to earth. It is what it is. Hopefully they will come to terms eventually.

THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH THEIR RELATIONSHIP! IT IS WHAT IT IS!

I have a biological sister from my father that I didn't meet until we were adults. There's no particular contact or closeness but there's no bad blood either. When I see her it's all love but we didn't grow up together. Their late father Doc Long, was from my hometown, Trenton, NJ.

I've always wished I had a sister. Their dad should've made sure they were acquainted and knew one another as sisters.

I don’t see drama I see life and distance.

There’s no drama. No one is crying about not having a relationship with the other. That’s life sometimes.

I'm not close to my half sister (even though I tried), but it doesn't affect my life, one way or the other. 🤷🏾‍♀️

They were both in the Friday franchise. Nia was in the first Friday & S’More was in the last Friday. Great performances, great entertainers/actresses in their own right.

Sommore has said countless times that Nia is her Sister. It's never been a secret

I COMPLETELY understand. I have 20 siblings from my dad and I don’t even know all of them. The ones I do know, we try to remain in contact now however we still lack the closeness most other families have. It’s frustrating when our dad expects us to be close yet we were raised separately

I am from Trenton, so this info of them being sisters has been known by locals for a long time. It would have been nice if Pop put in the effort to fly out to see Nia or have her come and visit him so that she would have known her siblings better. It was up to the parents when they were young, not them now as adults.

I grew up with all my siblings in the house and I don't like them. It's okay not to want a close relationship with your siblings. Sometimes you just have zero in common.

I live with the same level of family dysfunction and I know it is better to accept than to try and force a bond that would never be....LOVE THEM BOTH

Not all siblings are close. They have their own direct path in the industry and made NAMES for themselves. I love them both

Once I saw a tattoo on someone that read "Blood makes you a relative but loyalty makes you family" I don't know if it's a common saying in a group/ gang or culture but it makes sense to me. 🤷🏽‍♀️🍒

I love Sommore one of the funniest comics out here!

No drama. Don’t force a friendship nor a sistership

Definitely understandable. I have 3 brothers by my dad and we all have different mothers and were raised in different cities. When people ask do I have siblings, I always say I'm the only child because technically I was raised that way. Its no bad blood; we all just live our own lives.

Most of the time we blame the siblings when it's come to not getting along or when they jealous of one another But most of the timethe parents are the main reason why siblings are like that with one another

This is going to be an example of what's to come. All these babies with different fathers, mothers,and leaving homes broken. Everything has a consequence.

It’s hard when you feel one sibling is getting more love and attention than you. Little girls want there Dad. I believe Nia Long was hurt and just couldn’t move past it for a long time. I hope in the future they can come together and realize life is short, and you should cling to the ones that you have left.

I have a similar situation. My father and mother broke up when I was two. My father being who he was went and got marry 2 years later and fathered 2 daughters with this new woman. So, I never saw my dad let alone developed and sisterly bond with new half Sisters. So, I understand where Nia is coming from. Also, I can count on 1 hand how many times I saw and spent any time with my Dad.

whew, i’m grateful that my sister and i love each other. we met when i was in my teens and didn’t reconnect until my father was on his death bed and we were both full grown adults. we are as close as siblings who grew up separate can be but we love each other to the core, you hear me?

We knew they were sisters way back in the Queens of Comedy days!!

I mean I get it. I have an older half sister and I simply don’t know her. We didn’t grow up together and my father didn’t attempt to bring us together until we were way too old. I am cool with her, but it just doesn’t feel sisterly. This doesn’t mean there is beef

To put it plain and simple, ITS BETWEEN THEM AND ONLY THEM. Love and support them both.

Both of them are beautiful women. And as a person who also has sisters, but no relationship and no beef or ill will, towards them, life goes on.❤

You didn't know they were sisters. I know this for years.

Sommore spoke about her being sisters with Nia Long a long time ago, at least a decade ago, and Nia Long has acknowledged publicly that they are sisters, because she's been asked about it.

I want them to continue to do what they want to do. What we think does not and should not matter. Best wishes to them both.

Their relationship should stay the way it is. They are both doing well. Coming from a person that met 2 brothers after our father passed. We are not close and I’m not really trying to be

Sorry, but sharing a parent doesn't make you family. Sadly, so many place emphasis on 'blood' and sometimes 'blood' relatives can treat you worse than complete strangers. Family is composed of love, honor and commitment. If any of this is missing, you don't have a famiIy member. I am sorry to hear this is the case between Nia Long and Sommore because I adore both ladies. Sommore is hysterically funny in comedy shows and Nia is beautiful as well as talented as an actress...but sharing a parent doesn't make them automatically family.

I always say that it’s much easier for half-siblings with the same Mom to be close to each other than it is for those with the same Dad. Mothers always bring their kids together, no matter if they have different fathers. Such is life!

Even though they are not besties they are very respectful of each other as it seems.

Sisters may not mean besties, I get it. I have the same relationships within my own family. I love them from a distance. I asked my husband this question. If you were not related to the people in your family, could you see yourself being friends with any of them? He thought about it a minute, and said no... That was so interesting to me. 🤔 I feel the same way🤷🏽‍♀️

I blame the parents for their lack of a relationship! Me and my twin sister have a half younger brother. We have the same father, different mothers and my dad wasn't having that drama! Even though we all grew up in separate households, ALL three, my father, mother and stepmother made sure that we grew up knowing each and he was no longer in a relationship with either women anymore. PLUS...we NEVER called him our "half", he's our brother PERIDOT!!!! We're all close till this day! Thanks yo our parents who stepped up and acted like adults!

Poor parenting is the real reason. In my day blood was thicker than water. You had to know your sister and brothers regardless of the parents relationship. Couldn't call my sister my half without getting my teeth knocked out

Not all siblings are close, it's unfortunate they didn't really get a chance to grow up together and really form a bond. Imagine growing up with a sibling every single day and they choose not to have a relationship with you!! What a feeling!!! I understand

They are not the only siblings who don't have a relationship. If research men are going to have kids all over town, it's their responsibility to get his kids together so that they know each other and not just from family gossip.

it gets messy when u share one parent and not both. the older u get… when u dont grow up in the same household it can be complicated especially when the relationships could’ve been overlapping if you know what i mean..

I understand this relationship all too well. They my fathers' kids.

Only things siblings have in common is they share the same parent(s). PLEASE accept that some siblings aren't close. We need to unlearn forcing siblings to be close. Sometimes how siblings grow up determines their relationship in adulthood and if it has been damaged or was never established in childhood, it'll stay that way. Forcing it causes more problems and conflict.

Not everyone’s family is close no matter how much they or others may want it to be. Something’s are forced

Chile I been known they was sisters well over 10 yrs ago this is old news

When Sommore was active on BET, she was in comedy back in the day, people knew that Nia was her sister. This was when I was in college so a good 20 years ago.

Siblings are not always close , I grew up in household with a lot of Sisters and brothers and I’m only close with one Sister, we’re good and it’s ok. I tried being there for them and each time I get rejected, used and thrown to the curve so I had to learn that not everyone gonna like you just keep it moving and love and take care of yourself. When you were born you came into this world alone and when you die no one is gonna be there with you, you die alone.

How sad. I have an older sister and we share our Daddy but not our mothers. She's fully Black and I'm Blasian, and we have our younger brother who shares both parents with me. And although my sister wasn't raised with us, and there was some resentment we grew up, and she knew I had live for her and i knew she had my back! I couldn't imagine my life without her! There's nothing like the sisterly bond! I'm almost in tears thinking about the things she and i have gone through from watching our fathers last breaths to burying our younger Brother! Life is too damned short to be playing games that my sister, not my half sister that's my sister! And I love her dearly. It's one thing to see youngsters acting a damned fool but these are grown women. Y'all don't have to kiki but So more should know your kids! And there should be cuttin up on holidays! I feel for them! Because my sister is part of who i am! She knows that if she fighting I'm jumping in and i got her back! And her Daughter always has a place in my home! And when times get hard I'll do everything to help her! Life is too short y'all! What's crazy is i had more beef with my younger Brother, we didn't talk for years while living in the same house! And you know what as soon as I found out he was having a baby, I humbled myself and I apologized for anything and everything I did to hurt him because i wanted our kids to be born in a peaceful family! And im so happy i did because he was gone not even a few years later, not even a month after his son was born! People make peace swallow your pride if it isn't that big of a deal, and make peace, family is everything! You won't realize until they are gone!

This is unfortunate. My sister and I did not grow up together and have different moms so I am thankful for a family who made sure we knew each other. I pray they get to experience a sisterly relationship. It helps with healing & knowing yourself more 💕

I believe that this is an extremely personal matter that has pain that goes very deep. How they choose to resolve it or not is something that only they can decide. It saddens the heart that both of these great women have chosen not to have a relationship but ultimately it is their choice alone, not the decision of anyone else.

I think people go wrong projecting friendship experiences onto familial relationships - your sister, might not be your friend, and your friend, just might be your sister....

I have a few half sisters and I will never develop a relationship with them. It’s difficult to develop a relationship with half sisters if you didn’t grow up with them. Then again I’m the outside child so they don’t like me that much😂😂😂

Nia looks just like her mom! Sommore is funny as heck!

Estrangement in families is more common than people realize. I came to that realization been a social worker and interviewing people for services. Once I came to this realization it made me feel less ashamed for not having a relationship with certain members in my family, including 2 sisters that I was raised with. I have some family members that I haven't had a relationship with for decades, we just related through blood but if we weren't chances are we wouldn't even be friends. Sometimes this has made me feel like maybe there's something wrong with me for not having a relationship with some family.

Different moms makes a HUGE difference.

It's hard to connect with people you don't know regardless of blood ties or not. Ur really a stranger. I have 5 brothers and a sister on my father side all by different women. We never knew each other until we became adults it's hard to develop those relationships when there might not be a connection 😕 if you don't establish that bond as kids it's gonna be harder as adults

Both of them are beautiful

I can relate to this story on so many different levels.

I can speak from my own experience of having an older sister that I share a father with. We are NOT close. No bad blood or hard feelings. We just aren't close. I've only seen her maybe twice in my life and I don't remember the meetings since I was so young when they happened, I'm 38 now. I really have no desire to form a relationship with her. Shes much older than me, about the same age as my Mom. My Dad was 50 when I was born and my Mom was 27.

I think Some more did the right thing by not using Nia’s name in the beginning of her career…. It would have looked bad and clout chasing…. And there was no sister bond established in the first place ….

The most important thing is its never to late to start a relationship with your sister or brother. I was never close to my brother and sisters either even though we lived in the same house. The last 15 years I have started to come home more and now have a wonderful relationship with them. It was 13 of us in the same house. And just found out 4 years ago my father had two more daughters. The oldest we knew about. But the one that we found out about 4 years ago, only got to see her two times. She passed away last year. And I didn't have any money to go to her funeral. But I will always have that wonderful pic of me and her together. It was like we have always been around each other. We just clicked.

Sommore def earned her name because I’m 30 years rolling and I’m just now finding this out!

Family dynamics are all unique. Sometimes they're great others not so much. But even more so when there's siblings that have a different parent.

My father has several different children by many different women. It’s life 🤷🏽‍♀️. He’s always had his favorites & we don’t all look alike which furthers the divide.

HI, HAPPY TUESDAY.. I'M SOOO GLAD I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL YESTERDAY. THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO 👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥💞💕🙋‍♀️

As families get bigger it’s harder for everyone to meet at the same time or be in the same space, they have schedules too

I understand...if you have a half sister who you didn't grow up with in one house the bond is different. I have a half sister who I did grew up with and I see her as my sis

I’m not close with my sister I don’t feel no connection,,

Naturally when sisters with the same mother and different fathers have closer relationships

At least they aren't messing with each other. I can give them that!!

All I can say is it's not to late to take baby steps to get to know one another and bond before they both leave this world.The worst regret comes after someone is gone from this world.I hope that that this changes and that they both bring other their flowers.

That's crazy😳😍 Some really good genes, those cheekbones aging like vampires and fine wine. Love both, but it's not uncommon to have a distant relative anddddd it be your own sibling. Just life♥️

When you get older is usually when it hits you how much your sister matters. Nothing is like a sisters bond. It’s so unfortunate that any sister would intentionally deprive herself of that union if the sister is a positive person. I hope one day that changes for both of them.

Sommore seems way more fun to be around 🤷🏾‍♂️

Although they did not grow up together! They are sisters, I feel both are stubborn and neither one wanted to break the ice to reach out. So overtime it just became more awkward to reach out knowing about eachother. I hope one of them breaks the ice one day!

I'm not understanding why she is mad at her dad for not being around. Her mother moved, across the United States. It wasn't going to be a close relationship, as soon as her mother moved, it was savored. My sisters and I grew up in the same household and we weren't close. I mean I call them my sisters but as I get older, people only know I have siblings because I speak about my nephews.

Gurllllll, this is old news. I knew that they were sisters since before the Queen's of Comedy.

They both legendary in their respective fields

I didn't grow up knowing my older sister on my dad's side but I feel like I have known her all my life. We grew up in different households and although we live in the same state, we only see eachother a couple times a year. I love her and we text and talk from time to time but we don't hang out or anything. I'm closer to my sisters on my mom's side.

I love both of them 💜💜💜

Not surprised, I have two sisters I don't talk to either. So envious and competitive, also trying to dim my light and look down on me. I know my worth, not looking for validation anymore. I am loved by God and the universe. Calling in my soul tribe, Love me or leave me alone.

Jealous is an evil action.

It is what it is! Not all relatives will get along or fall in line and be friends!

They should keep it as it is. I definitely understand.

Nia didn't reveal anything. It was Simore's revelation 👀

Oh so they're like the real story of the show Half & Half ❤️

What will be wild is, if one day, they get cast in the same movie- that would be fate, bringing them together; if they accepted the roles, of course.
