Already a critics darling, ‘The Birth Of A Nation’ was long-touted as birthing a superstar in actor Nate Parker.

However, that potential was rocked to the core when archived allegations of sexual assault against him hit headlines.

The timing seemed odd, as the story had long been in the public domain – yet was only prodded at in the run-up to the release of the film.

Some argued that the flick’s thematic focus on race and slavery played a part in the drama, while others focussed firmly on the alleged assault; the latter complicated by the fact that the accuser has since passed away.

Through it all, Parker maintained his innocence – which was supported by the legal ruling at the time of the 1999 episode.

Still, it momentarily paused the actor’s promotional push for the film.

Now back on the trail, Parker stopped by The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1 this morning.

Renown for asking the questions folk want answers to, Charlamagne, Angela Yee, and DJ Envy didn’t hold back.

As such, discussed in detail were the allegations, funding the film, and a whole lot more.

An insightful interview awaits below…

“Everybody wanna be in the limelight.”

Louis York continue to lay the path for the next studio release ‘Masterpiece Theater – Act II’ with the release of the latest single ‘Limelight‘ today.

Related to Jazmine Sullivan‘s ‘Mascara’ thematically, the song sees the duo swim within the weird and occasionally wild world of social media fame, its accessibility and, to some extent, its vacuous nature.

Limelight is the song we’ve been dying to release. It’s all about our twisted addiction with social media, fame and the dark side of pop culture. Sonically, we wanted to keep the instrumentation of the production quirky and fun because of the seriousness of this concept. These days it feels like chasing the limelight has become more important than actually being known for something meaningful. We felt we had to address it the best way we know how – through music.

Press play below to listen to the song…
