‘He Took My Girl from Me’: Deon Cole Opens Up About His Apparent ‘Beef’ With Stevie Wonder

Deon Cole said that he and Stevie Wonder had beef but they’ve settled it.

The actor and comedian dropped by “The Real” this week and said Wonder once stole a girlfriend of his. Whether Cole was serious or joking around isn’t known, but some will probably find his story entertaining nonetheless.

“This is real beef,” Cole explained. “Me and Stevie Wonder. He took my girl from me. We went to this concert. I told her she can go meet him, and she went and met him, and she came back and she was like, ‘Man, here go $100, why don’t you take a cab home.’ I knew her broke ass didn’t have $100. I knew Stevie gave it to her.”

The “black-ish” actor then explained how he and the “As” singer settled things. And some might say this part of the story sounded like Cole was delivering one of his stand-up comedy routines.

“Stevie’s assistant and Stevie walked into this bar, and I was sitting in the cut and his assistant told Stevie, ‘Yo, there go Deon.’ He was like ‘Where?'” said Cole.

“He told his assistant to tell me to come over, and I came over and he was like ‘What’s this stuff you talking about on Instagram?'” added the comedian. “And I said ‘You took my girl, you know you did.’ And he was like ‘How she look?'”

Cole also told some of the story in an August 23 Instagram post that showed a photo of him and Wonder. And he included a part of the story that he didn’t tell on “The Real,” about Wonder wanting to fight him.

“We exchanged some more words, then he looked like he wanted to swing so I stood as close to him as possible so he couldn’t swing,” wrote Cole. “Then some other people came and calmed us down. Then we talked a little more about it and now here we are, FRIENDS AGAIN! So if you got beef with someone, just talk it out.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
