Despite Marlo Hampton being an integral part of the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ for a decade, peach-holder status has long eluded her.

The reasoning has long been debated and yet no definitive rationale has ever been provided.

With the British Royal Family in mourning following the death of Prince Philip, attention has turned to the monarch’s funeral.

Officially set for April 17, the farewell will take place 8 days after Queen Elizabeth’s husband died aged 99.

Pop culturally speaking, there has been ample murmuring about whether Prince Harry and his heavily pregnant wife Meghan Markle would be in attendance – in light of their jaw-dropping interview with Oprah Winfrey. A sit-down that saw them share their side of their experience in the famed family and unpack allegations of racial bias and ill-treatment.

Still, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will have a presence of sorts at the funeral.

Kid Cudi took center stage on Saturday Night Live and made quite the visual statement.

For, while performing his song ‘Sad People,’ the performer donned a floral dress.

The track, which is lifted from Cudi’s latest album ‘Man on the Moon III: The Chosen,’ unpacks the thoughts that plague at night and the quest for inner peace.  Over the course of the cut, he relays the highs that he experiences, and how he often finds himself depressed after. It deals with pressing on, even if it’s at the expense of his mental health.

Ever an envelope pusher, watch Cudi in action after the jump…
