Six-time GRAMMY® nominee and box office star Tyrese Gibson joined forces with three-time GRAMMY® winner CeeLo Green to use music as a mean to deliver an address to racial disparity and police brutality in America.
Titled ‘Legendary,’ the gripping tune saw its accompanying Deon Taylor-directed music video premiere August 28.
Clocking in just at 8:46, the clip’s runtime is the exact amount of time a white Minneapolis police officer used his knee to pin the neck of African American local George Floyd to the ground (causing his death as a result).
Speaking on the socially conscious effort, Tyrese stated:
“Legendary is powerful because the music and the video are meant to shift how we are seen. We’re in the middle of a revolution. As Black people we are fighting two pandemics: COVID-19 and Systemic Racism. The video painfully underscores the plight of our community, while asserting that Black Lives Matter. As for the music? The proudest moment of my life is when attorney Benjamin Crump said ‘Legendary’ is the new anthem of the movement.”
Watch the powerful visual inside:
Kamala Harris has officially made history.
For, in formally accepting the Democratic Vice President nomination, she has become the first black female ever nominated on a major Presidential ticket.
As reported, Harris is Joe Biden‘s running mate in the upcoming election.
In celebration, she took center-stage at day three of the 2020 Democratic National Convention.
Giving an impassioned speech, Harris spoke in earnest about her family, the need to eradicate racism, and foreign relations.
Like Michelle and Barack Obama before her, she took a dig at the sitting president, saying: “Donald Trump’s leadership has cost lives and livelihoods.”
Check out the speech below…

Nick Cannon is firing back after being axed by ViacomCBS over controversial comments about race.
As reported, the media mogul came under heavy scrutiny for utterances made on his podcast Cannon Class.
He was seen describing white people as as “a little less,” “closer to animals,” “the true savages,” “acting out of a deficiency so the only way they can act is evil.”
The move saw ViacomCBS sever ties with him – seemingly taking his MTV series ‘Wild N’ Out’ with them.
Now, in a lengthy open letter, Cannon says:
“I demand full ownership of my billion dollar “Wild ‘N Out” brand that I created, and they will continue to misuse and destroy without my leadership! I demand that the hate and back door bullying cease and while we are at it, now that the truth is out, I demand the Apology!”

Alfre Woodard‘s illustrious career adds an incredible new chapter named ‘Clemency.’
Directed by Chinonye Chukwu, the harrowing prison drama won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival and deservingly so.
The film sees Woodard deliver a masterful performance as death row Warden Bernadine Williams.
Throughout its course, ‘Clemency’ hones in on the tall toll executions and their preceding moments take on Williams.
Central to the story is her interaction with a particular prisoner (played by Aldis Hodge), who maintains his innocence.
Ahead of the film’s UK release on July 17th, That Grape Juice‘s Samuel Eni caught up with the revered actress, who opened up about the role, the move towards equality in Black in Hollywood, advice for young creatives, and much more.
Usher has unwrapped the self-directed video for ‘I Cry.’
And it’s a family affair, because the singer’s sons Usher V and Naviyd contribute graphics to the visual (under their alias Dem Raymond Boyz).
Speaking on his rationale for releasing the emotional song, Usher said:
“This song was inspired by wanting to teach my sons that it is ok for a man to feel emotions deeply and to cry. Like many men, I was raised to believe that we have to be “tough” and not show our vulnerability, which I don’t want to teach them. While I was shut in during the pandemic and watching the death of George Floyd, the ongoing slaughter of Black men and women, the protests and the events that unfolded, I became very connected to the wider universal feeling of hopelessness. Like many, I grew increasingly frustrated by how slow things have been to change. I became very depressed thinking about all the sons who have lost their fathers to police brutality, social injustice and violence; the daughters and mothers too. So I returned to this song and realized it was intended for this time, so I finished it and here it is.”
