‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Kandi Burruss is not shying away from keeping it real with her 4-year-old son Ace on matters related to race and police brutality.

As the nation continues to confront uncomfortable conversations around the topic in the wake of the unjust deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and many other African Americans who have died at the hands of police, Burruss took to ‘Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen’ Wednesday (June 10) to share how important it is for parents to ensure their children are aware of what’s happening.

As we reported here, Ne-Yo was among the featured performers billed to tribute George Floyd at his memorial hosted in Houston, TX (June 8).

On hand to sing Boyz II Men‘s ‘It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye,’ the GRAMMY-winner made headlines for breaking down at multiple junctures during the heartfelt showing.  But, while many have applauded the singer-songwriter (born Shaffer Smith) for his attempts to maintain his composure, others are criticizing the speech he rendered before launching into the song.

Prefacing his performance with a statement alluding to Floyd’s death at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer as being a ‘sacrifice’ for a greater cause, the comments were met with fury.

So much so, Smith took to social media to clarify.

A&E’s reported its hit reality crime series, ‘Live PD,’ is the latest of its ilk to hit the chopping block amid nationwide protests against police brutality.

After vowing to cease production to find better ways to tell the stories of the community and police officers, the network issued a statement to announce ousting the show from its roster.

“This is a critical time in our nation’s history and we have made the decision to cease production on Live P.D. Going forward, we will determine if there is a clear pathway to tell the stories of both the community and the police officers whose role it is to serve them,” the statement reads. “And with that, we will be meeting with community and civil rights leaders as well as police departments.”

The move – particularly surprising given that it is A&E’s top-rated program and was just renewed for 166 more episodes after a successful four season run – was met with mixed reactions from the show’s creators and fans.

Once the assertion reached the masses, J’s Twitter mentions went through the roof with many defending Wayans’ solo career achievements.  After the merciless dragging, the 38-year-old called a “cease fire” by confirming the debate was parodic.
