Jimmy Kimmel made an emotional return to ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ tonight (September 23) after his headline-grabbing suspension.

Fighting back tears, he addressed the firestorm that saw his show pulled from the air, igniting an outpouring of emotion.

His comeback followed weeks of backlash over comments about the death of controversial right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk, which triggered ABC affiliates Sinclair and Nexstar- two of the U.S.’s largest broadcast groups – to drop the late-night series “indefinitely.”

While ‘Kimmel’ is back on ABC nationally, the show remains off-air across those networks’ affiliate regions (roughly 20% of the nation). No doubt a lingering reminder of just how divisive the drama continues to be.

During his monologue, Kimmel drew on humor and raw emotion, uniquely thanking supporters on both sides of the political sphere while refusing to apologize for his remarks. Instead, he defended free speech, acknowledged the threats his family has faced, and choked up recalling Kirk’s widow’s public act of forgiveness (which he likened to the forgiveness Jesus showed).

More than anything, he emphatically made clear that he would not be silenced – no matter the political or corporate pressure. Nor President Donald Trump “wanting” him “fired.”

Watch Kimmel’s full monologue below, where key quotes also await.

Nearly 15 years after dropping her last album, 2010’s ‘No Boys Allowed,’ GRAMMY-nominated songstress Keri Hilson delivered the set’s long-awaited follow-up in April.

Christened ‘We Need to Talk: Love,’ the project came after Hilson reported years of false starts, personal struggles, and professional setbacks and was announced as the first of a three-part installment.

Keeping her word, the R&B diva delivered the ‘Love’ successor – ‘We Need to Talk: Drama‘ – this month. A six-song effort, the second opus boasts fellow Atlanta natives Young Thug and Pastor Troy as its only features.

After becoming the first solo Hot 100 top 40 hit of her career, Kehlani‘s ‘Folded‘ continues to unfold new ground for the R&B diva including being her longest-charting placement on the tally.

This week the song soared to #29 – marking her inaugural entry into the all-genre chart’s top 30 and highest-charting smash to date.

Its staying power is not only due to Kehlani’s own critically acclaimed remix, ‘(un)Folded,’ but also in great part to the viral response it’s enjoyed courtesy of fans flooding social media with soaring covers.

Even celebrity admirers of the cut like K’s idol Brandy have rocked the net with adventurous takes on the heartbreaking tune.

The latest of the latter class is the R&B diva’s gal pal JoJo who took to Instagram on Tuesday (September 23) to showcase her fiery take on ‘Folded.’ Hear it inside.

As JT learned, BIA wasn’t the only femcee Cardi B reignited beef with thanks to the release of her long-awaited sophomore album ‘Am I the Drama‘ on Friday (September 19).

In fact, Cardi (born Belcalis Almanzar) not only took aim at the City Girls star but also her famous rapper boyfriend Lil Uzi Vert via the LP’s track ‘Magnet.’

“She just mad she got a n***a she be sharin’ bags with / My n***a cheat, but I don’t stick no dildos in his ass, b***h / You look a hot mess, easily impressed-ass b*tch / You never gave looks, you started getting dressed-ass b***h,” Almanzar rapped in the song over Pooh Beatz production.

After tweeting and deleting a clap back referring to Cardi as a “guitar body” with a “PH balance that will fry whole fish,” JT returned to X (formerly known as Twitter) on Tuesday (September 23) with another stinging response – this time taking aim at Almanzar’s boyfriend and baby father Stefon Diggs.
