Now you would think that with all of the pretty risque’ behavior, cat fights and foul language Moniece is known for using on the show, that she wouldn’t necessarily be the poster child for a ‘gospel kid’ (that’s no shade, just an observation) but it turns out, she shol’ is. You have GOT to see this…

He’s HER Daddy?!!

Dave Thomas (pictured above 3rd from left) is Moniece’s father.

Moniece’s daddy is Dave of the infamous gospel group, TAKE 6!

Make some noise if you know a lil’ somethin’ about Take 6! They are only the most unique acapella contemporary gospel group in the music game and one of their classic hits is “Spread Love.” Well, Dave Thomas (pictured above 3rd from left), the group member with the falsetto voice.

Now THIS, we would have NEVER called! Moniece’s mother, Marla, who has also appeared on “Love & Hip Hop Hollywood,” has been married to David for decades.

From the looks of it, Moniece may be Dave’s step-daughter, but he views her as his own blood and he is the only father Moniece has ever known because she said he raised her from infancy and she calls him her Dad. Just as she did in the Instagram post below

My dad. @davetake6 was joined by super producers @blu2th and @drdre at his concert in Hawaii

50yrs ago today. The lord put this man in these pictures, on this planet. He like everyone else was born with purp, ose. To me his purpose is extra special. Because a part of his existence was meant to love me unconditionally as his own from infancy until now. And thank God he blessed me with a love like this because now my baby gets to experience this same love from this same gentle soul. Happy birthday 🎈 🎊 pappy. We love you tons. Thanks for loving us even more. @davetake6

David and Marla are very close to their grandson, Kam (Moniece’s and singer/rapper, Fizz’s son), and sometimes post videos about him on social media…

Now I know that Moniece can sometimes come across as a little…uh…not-all-the-way-there on “Love & HipHop,” but who knows? That could just be a part of her M-O…or not. Nonetheless, it’s cool to see that Dave has been a wonderful father to her.

We salute the incredible people and beautiful memories of that "old school". We’re not saying that every artist and every facet of the soul era was perfect, but the artists’ contributions to soul music and the old school memories of that particular time are PRICELESS.
