Blueface’s Mom Threatens To “Slap The Shit” Out Of Him: Watch

by

For some, Sunday is the Lord’s day. For others, however, it’s a day sure to be full of chaos and drama thanks to a new episode of Blueface and Chrisean Rock’s Crazy In Love.

The last few weeks have seen the famous couple’s antics playing out on their Zeus reality series. We’ve seen the “Thotiana” rapper and his partner’s father exchange blows. Also, the reality starlet’s brother appeared to give the couple advice about their often-aggressive relationship.

Rock and Blueface’s bickering has been the centre of several episodes. However, we’ve still seen his issues with his own family play out. This week, in particular, the 25-year-old comes face-to-face with his mother, Karlissa Saffold.

In one preview that’s been circulating online, the California native and his mom step outside to speak. He tells her that she carries herself with a lot of importance and that he loves her because of their familial relationship. Still, that’s not always enough.

“I feel like I’m more mature than you,” Blue tells Saffold in front of the cameras. “Love you, mother, but you just not my type of woman I guess. Not my type of lady.”

In another trailer, most of the 25-year-old’s family comes together to confront Rock and her man. Specifically, they feud about a physical altercation between the group that previously went viral.

“If you’re 50 with little kids outside, you’re going to get into some little kid shit,” Blueface explains to Saffold as she yells at him. In response, she says, “If you disrespect me, and you’re my son, Jonathan, I’m gonna slap the shit out of you every time! I am your mother!”

The recording artist and Rock look visibly uncomfortable from the other side of the room, though he says “I understand.” At the same time, his mother continues to yell about how they didn’t argue in the past with his sister also joining in.

FX Shares Trailer For “Snowfall” Season 6

by

FX has shared a new trailer for the sixth and final season of Snowfall. The official synopsis states the season will take place in 1986 as “civil war threatens to destroy the Saint family.” 

“Franklin is faced with losing everyone he loves and everything he’s built,” the description reads. “And getting through it will mean out-maneuvering the KGB, the DEA and the CIA, as well as avoiding the LAPD’s corrupt C.R.A.S.H units. When everyone has their backs against the wall, who will they become in order to survive?”

Snowfall first aired back in 2017 revolving around the first crack epidemic and its impact on Los Angeles. The series stars Damson Idris, Carter Hudson, Emily Rios, and more.

Co-creator Dave Andron recently spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about the upcoming sixth season. He admitted that the final episodes will feel a “little heavier” than usual.

“I think we’ve always tried to keep a bit of the light touch in this show,” he said. “Obviously, the show is about very serious things and about a very dark moment in American history. We’ve tried to kind of find some of the levity in that because there is a lot of humor in the situations in the world, and it’s part of how people survive day to day. I think this last season, the story has to ultimately be a tragedy, and this last season is going to feel, I think, a little heavier.”

He further said: “The last two seasons I think you can feel the moments when we’re trying to have things have a lighter touch, and then the last two episodes settle into a very specific tone. And I think the last season is going to be more represented by that tone.”

Season six will air on February 22 at 10:00 PM, ET. Check out the new trailer for season six of Snowfall below.

John Legend And Chrissy Teigen Have Reportedly Welcomed Their Third Child

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen have reportedly welcomed their third child.

Legend revealed the news this Friday (January 13) during a private concert, People reports. He reportedly told the audience that he and Teigen had welcomed “the little baby this morning.”

Legend continued, saying that he “didn’t get a lot of sleep” but he felt “energized” after having spent “a lot of time” at the hospital overnight. The couple has not yet shared a name for the baby or any images of the baby on social media, however, Legend was said to be in bright spirits. He was said to have been over the moon, exclaiming, “What a blessed day.”

Legend and Teigen are already parents to son Miles, 4, and daughter Luna, 6. In an interview on Good Morning Britain that took place last September, Legend revealed that Miles and Luna are excited to bring a new sibling into the family. He also noted that he and Teigen were approaching the pregnancy with caution after she had suffered pregnancy complications back in October of 2020.

“Whenever you lose a pregnancy there is always cautious optimism when you’re pregnant again,” he said. “because you never know what could happen and you’ve experienced that tragedy of losing one. But everything has been great so far, the kids are excited, we’re all excited and can’t wait to welcome the new baby into the world.”

Mindy Kaling’s “Velma” Series Criticized For Sexualizing Teenage Characters

by

For many, Scooby-Doo undoubtedly remains a nostalgic childhood favourite well into adulthood. Even the old school cartoons can conjure up a laugh or a smile when you need it, but of course, Hollywood couldn’t help but give the franchise the prequel treatment. Earlier this month, The Office actress Mindy Kaling premiered her Velma series. So far, though, the critics seem to be giving it two thumbs down.

The first two episodes of the adult animated series landed on Hulu and Crave earlier this week. While the mother of two is on double duty as the executive producer and voice of the titular character, she’s also joined by a star-studded lineup. Sam Richardson brings to life the first Black Shaggy, while Constance Wu plays Daphne Blake.

Additionally, we hear from familiar voices like Glenn Howerton, Debby Ryan, Shay Mitchell, Jane Lynch, and even NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns.

The series certainly sounds as though it has everything necessary to succeed, so where did they go wrong? According to Twitter users, the hyper-sexualization of high school characters is obviously a big red flag.

Various videos circulating online show clips from Velma. In one of them, a group of teenage girls are in the locker room, their figures obviously emphasized to attract attention. “These are supposed to be high school girls,” one frustrated user says from behind the camera in their Twitter post.

While Kaling’s series is on a different streamer, some are comparing it to the Netflix Original Big Mouth. Created by Nick Kroll, that project has earned a lot of backlash for similar reasons as it follows middle schoolers, specifically on their journey through puberty.

“STOP HATE WATCHING ‘VELMA’ OR WE’LL END UP WITH 8 MORE SEASONS LIKE ‘BIG MOUTH,” one social media user pleaded. Another wrote, “Everyone can tell [the show is] awful, but nobody can articulate why… It’s like it was intentionally designed to annoy everyone equally.”

Keep scrolling further for more Twitter reactions to Mindy Kaling’s Velma. Afterward, let us know in the comments if you plan to tune into the new series.

“Crazy In Love”: Blueface Tells His Mom He’s More Mature Than Her

by

The weekend is upon us once again, which means it’s time for another episode of Crazy In Love. Whether you love Blueface and Chrisean Rock, or love to hate on them, the couple’s on-screen antics have been bringing undeniable entertainment to audiences all around the nation.

Last week, we heard the two get into a lover’s quarrel. The 25-year-old was insisting upon calling his partner by a derogatory name that upset her. “You call me a bitch all the time, bro,” the reality starlet whines to her man in front of the camera. In the previous episode, he clapped back, “Okay, and you are one. I’ll call you a bitch right now! ‘Cuz that’s what you are.”

In the same show, fans saw an appearance from Wack 100. He was quick to label Chrisean as a “distraction” for Blueface. In the time since, DJ Akademiks has also spoken out in agreeance – particularly after the 22-year-old admitted to hitting the rapper in the head with a glass cup earlier this month.

On this week’s edition of Crazy In Love, it looks like we may get a break from the couple’s incessant bickering. Instead, the latest previews show the “Thotiana” artist preparing his other half to see his family. He even gets brutally honest with his mother in one of the circulating clips.

“I don’t know why you think that you’re special,” Blueface tells Karlissa Saffold in a video posted to @theneighborhoodtalk. Sensing her immediate disappointment, he back tracks, saying, “You very special, don’t get it twisted. You my mom and everything.”

The family matriarch comes back at him with, “You just said you have no remorse, like I’m leaving here with that!” In response, he drops a bomb, telling the woman who raised him that he feels as though he’s “more mature than her.”

“Love you, mother, but you just not my type of woman I guess,” Blueface concludes. “Not my type of lady.”

The same clip then cuts to a conversation between Chrisean and her man’s sister, who were able to remain composed during their chat. When the rest of the family joined in though, things became physical.

Mahalia, Tiana Major9, And MNEK Call Out The BRIT Awards For A Lack Of R&B Nominees

by

Not everyone is excited for the upcoming BRIT Awards. The ceremony, which supposedly showcases and awards the best in UK music this year has noticeably overlooked R&B acts in its nominations.

Noteable British R&B musicians immediately called out the BRITs for their negligence.

In the category for Best Pop/R&B Act are Cat Burns, Harry Styles, Dua Lipa, Sam Smith and Charli XCX. R&B singer Tiana Major9 took to Twitter to express her frustration, asking the BRITs, “Are you purposely trying to antagonise R&B artists?”

Some fans argued that the acts in this category were all pop acts. Even more said that R&B should have its own category.

“Forget putting us in this category. Give us our own!!!!! How many times do we have to scream at you?,” said R&B singer Mahalia.

She continued, saying, “Winning awards isn’t the reason why we make and release music. We do this sh*t out of love. But, at this point, it’s nothing short of disrespectful.”

Singer and songwriter MNEK also weighed in, noting that there are several promising R&B acts coming out of the UK.

“OK this is silly now,” he said. “We get it. UK industry doesn’t know what to do with R&B. But there’s enough R&B/hiphop artists to have their own category at LEAST. Bellah, Tiana Major 9, Jack James, FLO, None of these artists (ESPECIALLY @catburns) is making R&B music.”

He continued, saying, “it’s whack cos the gen pop will think cos Cat is black, she’s R&B. I also think it’s whack cos the category would still be valid if the “R&B” wasn’t added, BPI could do with explaining the need for this in the award title. Cos, it’s not like the people haven’t spoken!”

The BRIT Awards recipients are set to be revealed on Saturday, February 11, during a televised ceremony in the UK.

Some of the artists mentioned here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Allen Hughes acts as director, executive producer, and writer of the five-part docuseries. According to Deadline, Hughes promises there will be unreleased video and audio footage, making this a must-see.

“Wherever possible, we tried to find archival footage that hadn’t been seen so there’s a lot that we have in the five parts,” said Hughes. “There’s also audio that’s never been heard. And not just some of his acapellas and vocals, there is a lot of stuff of Tupac from his baby years that had never been seen.”

“For Tupac superfans, I believe that two of the most important things in the project is the never seen before. But most importantly, you get to understand why he made certain decisions.”

In a teaser for the series, a young Tupac shares what he believes makes him most like his mother. With a wide grin, he says it’s his arrogance.
