Wow! It’s been almost a year since I last posted an interview... Let me be the first to say WELCOME BACK. As cliche as it sounds, I’m a different person now and I am happier then ever and very excited to get back into writing and bringing you interviews. I can’t promise it’ll be every single week like before, but I’ll work on it.
I’m so excited to bring you this weeks interview. If you haven’t seen last weeks episode of Bachelor in Paradise, stop reading now because: SPOILERS! And I’m not about to have ANY of you in my dms or comments telling me I spoiled things for you.
R E A D AT Y O U R OWN R I S K. Turn back now, the next paragraph talks about last week.
Last week our favorite commentary queen of this season departed our screens. (I blame you men that haven’t gotten into a relationship yet, you lost a good one.) Deandra Kanu, who first graced us with her presence on Peter Weber’s season of the Bachelor. The Gemini gal herself, always kept us laughing, because that’s a Gemini... Someone who is funny, loyal, and perceptive and we saw that from her this season.
We saw her be spoiled by Chasen and Karl with jewelry a few weeks ago, and yet we saw her return the bracelet to Karl. Did she return the necklace to Chasen? Who’s her favorite couple on the beach?
Let’s get to it and find out the burning questions!
I’m pleased to introduce you to Drakes future wife: DEANDRA KANU!
Tell me about you!
DK: I was born in Dallas Texas but was raised in a small town called Bar Harbor in Maine. I feel like a city girl and a small town girl simultaneously. Half my family is Nigerian so we traveled back and forth growing up which helped to give me a worldly perspective at a young age.
My mom, me, and three of my sisters moved to Maine when I was in the third grade following my mom’s divorce from my father. Traveling across the country at a young age gave me a taste of life that isn’t limited by your town.
Growing up did you ever think you would be on reality TV?
DK: This is a really funny question. Growing up I would pretend I was in confessionals and would act as if I was being recorded in my head. I always felt as the commentary in my head was better than that on the television shows I watched.
can we agree though, she is a commentary goddess? Provides quality confessionals!
My parent would always say “someone needs to put this girl on television” because I was so dramatic growing up. I think I manifested being on television, I just didn’t know doing what.
If you could be on any other reality show which would it be and why?
DK: I would definitely be on Love Island. The people that they choose for the show seem to have a lot of personality and individuality, and it shows up on screen. I feel like there is less stress about getting sent home.
Tell me about your time in bachelor nation, which show did you like being on more?
DK: Being on the Bachelor was okay, but I definitely liked being on Paradise more. I think both shows can make you question yourself if you don’t find a connection but on Paradise it was less competition and more time spent getting to know people. All my friends were there too, so that was a plus.
If you could have had any other Bachelor as your Bachelor who would you have liked to have had?
DK: I think I would have liked to see Tyler Cameron, Mike Johnson, or Dale Moss as the Bachelor. I feel like you can really tell these men are truly open minded when it comes to dating and don’t have a specific ”type”, making it fair competition for the women.
Besides the obvious Maurissa/Riley choice who is your favorite couple on the beach?
DK: MAURISSA AND RILEY. Close second is Joe and Serena because I love Joe and just want to see that man happy.
Did you keep the Chasen’s necklace he gave to you?
DK: I did not, I released all jewelry given to me back. As much as I love being draped in jewels it didn’t feel right keeping any gifts when I wasn’t giving a rose out.
What is your go to song at the moment?
DK: TSU by drake! I love his new album, I always pretend I am the girls in his songs... Is that just me?
And last but not least- if you could have dinner with three people who would they be and why?
DK: Beyoncé- I just want to get into her mind so bad and understand what it was like to grow up with such talent.
Obama- I want to breathe the same air as him.
Oprah- She seems super insightful. She is also of the wealthiest self made women. Plus I want to hear all about her vegetable garden.
