‘Talking to a Brick Wall’: Marjorie Harvey’s Dating Advice to Daughter Lori Harvey on ‘Steve’ Goes Viral After She and Future Make It Instagram Official

People are still buzzing about Lori Harvey and Future being an item after he seemed to confirm it on Instagram last week.

And that chatter has grown even louder since then, because an old video of Lori’s mother Marjorie Harvey giving her daughter dating advice has now gone newly viral, advice Lori totally has seemed to ignore.

On Friday, November 29, the “Dirty Sprite” rapper went on Instagram Story and shared a video of he and Steve Harvey‘s stepdaughter in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Future was driving in the clip, and he turned the camera to show that Lori was with him.

Plus, he posted a still photo of the 22-year-old dressed in black and wearing diamonds. “Flawless. Tap for details,” Future captioned the pic.

The dating advice that Marjorie gave was seen during a 2015 episode of Steve Harvey’s now defunct talk show “Steve,” where she can be seen telling the then-18-year-old Lori to avoid rappers and other celebrities.

“Now you just started dating this year. How are we going to handle that?” asked the concerned mom. “No athletes, no rappers, we going to go down the list. … Don’t ever try and fit in when God has clearly created you to stand out. Always be a lady.”

“And understand you are the prize,” she added. “Don’t give yourself to anybody that is not going to be your husband. … If they love you, if they really care about you, they’ll wait on you.”

But if the rumors are true, Marjorie’s advice clearly fell on deaf ears and not only because of Future, but because of Sean “Diddy” Combs too.

Back in March, talk began to swirl that Combs and Lori were dating. Then word came in October they split after the Bad Boy founder was seen with an actress named Nicole Olivera while Lori was out of town.

Lori has also been linked to Trey Songz, Combs’ son Justin Combs,’ British Formula 1 race car driver Lewis Hamilton, and she was engaged to Dutch soccer player Memphis Depay in 2017 before they called it off.

After the clip of mother and daughter having their talk resurfaced, people had a lot to say about it in the comments.

“Lmaoooooo in one ear out the other 😭,” someone wrote on Instagram.

“You can see it in her eyes when she tuned out!😂,” wrote another.

“She talking to a brick wall😭😭,” a third person commented.

“Waste of breathe but great advice,” another person chimed in.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
