The ‘Michael’ biopic is officially in theaters, and we had the chance to sit down with Nia Long for an EXCLUSIVE interview about the highly anticipated film.

With excitement surrounding the release continuing to build, the seasoned actress shared just how much the project means to her. 

The veteran actress opened up to That Grape Juice’s Malik Davis about stepping into the role of Katherine Jackson and what it took to bring such an iconic figure to life.

Long also spoke about the energy at the premiere, including her excitement about Usher being in attendance, and whether she plans to catch his R&B tour with Chris Brown. 

To top it off, we asked about her favorite Michael Jackson song—and even got a hint at whether a part two of the biopic could be on the way.

‘Michael’ is now playing in theaters.

On the wings of viral singles ‘Tea Time‘ and ‘News Flash,’ former City Girls star Yung Miami is making all the right moves to build buzz for her long-awaited debut solo album.

Her latest bid in that vein comes courtesy of the April 24-released ‘Spend Dat.’

“Where all my scammin’-a** niggas at? (Where they at?) / Spendin’ that money fast / Twenties, fifties, hunnids, cash (Cash) / Boy, go in that Goyard bag,” she raps over J. White Did It-produced instrumentation.

To bring the cut to life, Miami tapped fellow femcee Trina and former ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ peach holder Nene Leakes to star in its cinematic music video (which is loaded with nods to 1998’s cult classic film ‘The Players Club‘).
