Marlon Wayans Defends Kelly Rowland Amid Claims She Walked Off “Today Show”

by

Kelly Rowland recently appeared on The Today Show to plug her new movie with Tyler Perry, Mea Culpa. On Thursday (February 15), she was apparently supposed to co-host the show for a brief moment, but allegedly walked off set after their morning interview just hours prior. Apparently, according to various news outlets like PEOPLE and Page Six, the Destiny’s Child member and her team chose to leave because the dressing room they had was too small. But Marlon Wayans, her co-star on 2022’s horror comedy flick The Curse of Bridge Hollow, doesn’t think this reflect the person that he knows.

“Y’all stop with these false narratives,” Marlon Wayans captioned a recent Instagram post on the matter. “I’ve worked with [Kelly Rowland] as a star/producer. I will honestly say she was nothing short of AMAZING. Sweet, kind, professional. On time, great energy, impeccable manners and professionalism. She was nice to EVERYONE on set. Not one diva moment. S**t happens in Hollywood. Get both sides before you castrate anymore legends. Love this woman. Yall stop this BS. This woman was nothing short of a humble loving queen… PERIOD.”

Kelly Rowland Gets Marlon Wayans’ Backing Over Today Show Debacle

Apart from Kelly Rowland, Marlon Wayans was also recently outspoken about how Black male entertainers are held up to bigoted societal standards when compared to their white peers. “You talking to a black man that put on a dress,” he expressed during a recent radio interview. “That conversation to me, its silly. “It’s a negative thing that is only in Black people. We have for some reason been programmed to look down on the cr*ziest parts about our spirits. We’re supposed to embrace our past, our history, our heroes, different levels of comedy.

“Robin Williams puts on a dress and wins an award, his community embraces him,” the actor continued. “We’re labeled by our own people. That is not an artist mindset. When you’re an artist you go out and create art.” For more news and the latest updates on Kelly Rowland and Marlon Wayans, keep checking in with HNHH.

Death Grips Walk Off Stage After Being Pelted With Glow Sticks

by

Death Grips is an experimental hip-hop group that is known for its wild songwriting and unorthodox instrumentals. Overall, the group is legendary for what it did during the 2010s. However, they haven’t dropped a single project since 2019’s “Year Of The Snitch.” Regardless, the band is currently touring, and fans have been excited to see them in action. Unfortunately, a lot of fans do not know hot to act. There have been plenty of fan incidents at concerts over the last year. Although this latest example is particularly worrisome.

In the video below, posted to Twitter, you can see MC Ride of Death Grips being pelted with objects. From glowsticks to phones, some of these objects even hit him square in the chest. Ride was understandably upset about this, and subsequently, the entire group ended the show early. According to USA Today, there is currently a Reddit thread in which numerous fans revealed what they saw at the show.

Death Grips Have Had Enough

“Someone threw a phone at them and Ride threw the mic on the ground and walked off and back,” a user wrote. “Someone threw a glowstick that hit him in the chest and he walked off, back and waiting for more. Another glowstick was thrown and they left. Fair is fair.” Another person spoke on MC Ride’s reactions, saying he was “clearly angry every time that happened so idk why folks kept doing it.” Needless to say, some people need to be taught concert etiquette before going out in public.

Hopefully, this entire thing makes people reconsider their actions. Furthermore, we hope this doesn’t discourage Death Grips from making a fully-fledged comeback. We would love some new music from them. Let us know what you think of all this, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming releases.
