Ime Udoka’s reported infidelity and inappropriate behavior may have lost him his job as the Boston Celtics’ coach and disrupted the team’s post-championship-run season, but at least one person seems to have benefitted from his epic fumble. And that person is Omarion.

Yeah, that’s right. Omarion. R&B singin’ in the rain, fake crip-walkin’, former boy band member, meme-sparking Omarion. But how did he benefit, as he is decidedly not an NBA player? Well, this video from the premiere of Netflix’s race relations romcom You People might clear up that question:

Yup. That’s Nia Long. The fantasy of a million millennials (including J. Cole). The inimitable star who had roles in formative pop culture pillars such as Boyz N The Hood, The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, Friday, and The Best Man. And she is HOLDING. HANDS. with Omarion.

The men, understandably, are not okay.

Omarion himself seems pretty happy about it, just judging from his expression in the video above.

Meanwhile, You People, which stars Jonah Hill and Lauren London and caught some flak online for its similarities to Sidney Poitier’s 1967 Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner (and it’s less-beloved 2005 remake starring Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher), is streaming today on Netflix. It’s… decently funny, especially if you’re actually from L.A., where it’s set. Otherwise, maybe just stick to Poitier’s classic.

Yung Miami Reveals When We Can Expect New Music From City Girls

Gear up for another City Girls summer because the ladies are working on new music. Yung Miami has been taking over timelines as people continue to fire off posts about her relationship with Sean “Diddy” Combs. However, she was flying solo recently at the Los Angeles premiere of You People. During the event, Miami walked the red carpet and took a few moments with several outlets.

Rachel Lindsay was working the carpet for Extra TV, and she asked the rapper when we could expect new music from City Girls. Yung Miami simply answered, “Yes, Spring, Summer.”

While that doesn’t necessarily narrow things down, it has given their fans something to look forward to. City Girls haven’t released a full-length album since dropping City on Lock back in 2020 during the pandemic. However, they’ve continued to share music and add their voices to others’ tracks.

Lindsay wasn’t the only person to catch up with Miami on the red carpet. Baller Alert also spoke with the star and asked about her Revolt series, Caresha Please. Yung Miami has sat down with Diddy, G Herbo, Saweetie, and this week, Trina is up next.

Yet, she was asked who her dream guest would be.

“One person that I would want to give the smoke to is Cardi B,” said the rapper. “I think that we should smoke it up. But my dream interview would be Beyoncé! That’s a queen! That’s an icon!”

Miami then revealed what she would ask the megastar. Initially, she didn’t want to say, but she gave her answer.

“How does it feel to be Beyoncé? How does it feel to be the baddest b*tch on earth?… I really want to know how it feel to be Beyoncé, for real.”

“You People” Netflix Trailer Expertly Roasts Drake’s “Views” Era

by

Not all Netflix Original films are made equally. However, an upcoming one has managed to capture the public’s attention in particular. You People, which stars Superbad actor Jonah Hill and California native Lauren London, received a new trailer a few days ago. Of course, fans couldn’t help but notice the way it expertly roasts Drake.

Specifically, the new clip finds the 39-year-old’s character, Ezra, chatting with comedian Sam Jay about his love life. “I don’t think I’ve heard of a man ever who wanted to be in a relationship so badly besides Drake. And I’m talking ‘Views’ Drake,” the latter quips. This comes after hearing his friend talk about the lack of romance in his life.

As HipHopDX notes, the trailer later shows scenes of the characters living their daily lives. “I feel like ‘Views’ Drake,” Hill’s voice says. “Alone, on a building, dangling my legs off wondering what it’s like to feel companionship,” he adds, referencing the project’s famous artwork.

From what we know about You People so far, Ezra later has a chance encounter with Amira (played by London). As they get to know each other better, her conservative Muslim parents and his “progressive, semi-woke” Jewish parents also spend more time together. The latter’s family comes to life via Seinfeld‘s Julia Louis-Dreyfus and David Duchovny.

Other celebrities who appear in the project include La La Anthony, Deon Cole, Mike Epps, and even City Girl Yung Miami. This marks Caresha’s second acting credit, as she already aided 50 Cent with his BMF series last year.

Playing Amira’s parents are two Hollywood legends – Nia Long and Eddie Murphy. They hit up several Los Angeles hot spots throughout filming. London previously said this was her favourite part of the project.

“My favourite location was Simply Wholesome,” she told Tudum. “Growing up in LA, I used to walk to Simply Wholesome and grab a patty or a smoothie. Being inside a Black establishment that promotes wellness and health in the heart of our community, and that business being highlighted and shown in a big-budget film, that was very special.”

Check out Netflix’s new trailer for You People below. Afterward, let us know in the comments if you plan to check out the film upon its January 27 premiere.
