‘Zoom’ hitmaker Boosie has been no stranger to zooming to the top of headlines over the last few years for unapologetically expressing his disdain for LGBTQ+ representation in media.

When not slamming networks for ‘turning kids gay’ with cartoons, he’s garnered backlash for openly criticizing basketball star Dwyane Wade for ‘allowing’ his daughter Zaya to come out as transgender, and so much more.  No bigger headline grab has come from the emcee than his beef with Lil Nas X, however, who he claims is ‘pushing’ a gay agenda on children.

For those remarks and many of that ilk, Boosie says a number of his Hip Hop peers have dissociated themselves from him – actions he believes resulted from the urging of their record labels.

For three seasons, ‘All American’ has been one of CW’s most consistent ratings winners.

Inspired by the life of professional football player Spencer Paysinger,  the sports drama – which has consistently captured over 1 million viewers per episode – stars Daniel Ezra, Bre-Z, Taye Diggs, Geffri Maya, and more.

A testament to the show’s enduring popularity came in December 2020 when it was announced ‘All American’ would get a spinoff that follows young Black athletes from across the U.S. who are learning to deal with the pressures, lows, and highs associated with life at an HBCU.

Titled ‘All American: Homecoming,’ the new extension of the franchise stars Maya as “Simone Hicks” as well as Cory Hardrict, Peyton Alex Smith, Kelly Jenrette, and more.

Ahead of its February 21 premiere, look inside to get a peek at its first season via the official trailer.

10 years after her untimely death, the perdurable legacy of Whitney Houston – one of music history’s brightest stars ever – lives on.

In honor of Black History Month, TV star Tia Mowry teamed up with her TV moms Jackée Harry (‘Sister Sister’) and Loretta Devine (‘Family Reunion’) to dish about the importance of Black representation in front of and behind the cameras.

Over the course of the nearly 26-minute convo on Tia’s YouTube platform ‘Quick Fix,’ the trio of award-winning acting vets elaborated on the history of powerful Black women on screen, why there’s a need for even more powerful Black women in writer’s rooms and behind the camera, and so much more.

A stand out from the conversation, however, may just be Mowry and Harry’s reflection on why the highly anticipated ‘Sister Sister’ reboot fell through not long after it was announced the series was being picked up again.
