People weren’t exactly laughing when funnyman Lil Duval took to The Breakfast Club recently to suggest he “would murder” a transwoman if she ever tricked him into having sex.

A quote lifted in a week where tension around the topic was already particularly high considering President Donald Trump’s instatement of a U.S. military ban on transgender people and singer Bobby Valentino being exposed for an alleged sexual affair with a transgender prostitute, needless to say Duval’s comments weren’t taken lightly.

In fact, the ongoing fire got so hot, Twitter users were calling for a boycott of the comedian’s work as well as the platform, Breakfast Club (Power 105.1), where the statement was made.  Opening a fiery discussion on the social network, did you miss any of the action?  See it inside:

Simone Biles‘ inspirational rise to the top is to be honoured with a Lifetime biopic!

‘Courage to Soar: A Body in Motion, A Life in Balance’ is the name of the athlete’s biography and will lie at the heart of Lifetime’s movie on her life which is to executive-produce with her sights set on a 2018 due date.

Its working title? ‘The Simone Biles Story.’

Our pals over at ‘Shadow and Act’ add…

The script is written by Kelly Fullerton and also executive produced by Howard Braunstein, Simone Biles, Janey Miller and Kyell Thomas for Octagon.

Unfamiliar with Simone’s story?

The 20-year-old’s mother was unable to take care of she and her siblings due to a crippling drug addiction forcing Simone to seek refuge in the foster care system. By God’s grace she was adopted by relatives who supported her as she broke the bonds of her past to face the glory of her future.

Two girls. Same city…different networks.

In 1996 ABC unlocked the TV series ‘Clueless‘ following the success of the movie of the same name and a year later, with its sights set black audiences home and away, UPN built ‘Moesha’ which starred the singer Brandy.

It wasn’t long, as both shows rocked their respective networks’ worlds with superb ratings, before fans cried out for a crossover episode but saw their hopes dashed when it became clear that the rivalry between said networks meant it was impossible.

Then, the impossible happened.

Much to UPN’s delight, structural changes at ABC saw it forced to abandon ‘Clueless’ clearing the way for it to swoop down and rescue the series from cancellation. What this meant?

The ditzy Cher and the sassy Moesha were now sisters.

Two years would pass before the network answered their fans’ prayers by unlocking a crossover episode in 1999 and today, in honour of the epic TV moment, we celebrate it by making it the subject of this week’s edition of ‘Retro Rewind.’

Today, all seven members of the cast stopped by The Breakfast Club to dish on the concept of the series – as did its creator.

In trademark fashion, the hosts held nothing back and roasted the ladies like a Thanksgiving turkey. Charlamagne and guest Lil Duval poked especially hard.

As a solo act and as a member of the chart-topping musical group Danity Kane, Dawn Richard has already proven herself quite the talent on the dancing, singing, and songwriting fronts.  Now, the much-lauded songstress is looking to see some of that critical acclaim aimed at her theatrical endeavors.

After years of smaller roles a-front a few television and movie ventures, Richard’s been cast as the lead in Jean Claude LaMarre‘s erotic-romance thriller, ‘Kinky.’  The film, reminiscent of ’50 Shades of Grey,’ will see her share top billing with Robert Ri’Chard and also features a supporting cast of acting vets Vivica A. Fox, Darrin Henson, and more.

Since we haven’t seen the “I was hacked” tweet yet from Safaree Samuels official Twitter account, it’s safe to say it was indeed he who lent a heartfelt message to Grammy-nominated rapstress Nicki Minaj, his ex of 12 years.  Taking to the platform to express his baby fever, the rapper/producer stated:

The message set Twitter alight and incited a polarizing argument amongst his and her followers.  While some rooted for the duo to rekindle their longtime romance, others weren’t exactly supportive.

As of time reported, Minaj has not responded.
