Oh boy is exactly what spectators were saying once they copped a gander at the Instagram tussle between rapper Cam’ron and comedian Faizon Love earlier this week.

It all started when Love accused JAY-Z of being fake and fabricating his drug-dealing past.  Once Cam got wind of the funnyman’s comments, he came to his former Roc-a-fella friend’s defense. What ensued afterward was an all-out war.

On stage, TV, and film, Tiffany Haddish may be used to bringing the funny but the EMMY winner recently got serious when addressing topics of racial injustice.

Taking to Carmelo Anthony‘s web series ‘What’s In Your Glass’ earlier this week (July 27), the 40-year-old detailed her activism in relation to the wave of Black Lives Matter protests that have swept the globe over the past two months.

To say Sam Smith‘s third era has been a rollercoaster would be an understatement.

Despite kicking it off with one of 2019’s biggest songs, the Normani-assisted ‘Dancing with a Stranger,’ the GRAMMY-winner followed in 2020 with a string of moderately successful Hot 100 hits to precede the previously June 5-slated LP ‘To Die For’ – then  temporarily shelved it all together (as we reported here).
