Produced by Hot Snakes Media, the hitmakers behind popular programming including THE CURIOUS CASE OF NATALIA GRACE, DEAF U, BREAKING AMISH and more, the series follows four African-American families based in the U.S. who take a bold leap of faith leaving their homes behind to start anew in Africa.

Enticed by their ancestral roots, affordable housing and breathtaking landscapes, these families travel 5000 miles to find love, jobs, and a better life. First, they’ll have to survive the inevitable culture shock – but if they can endure the first 60 days, their lives could be changed forever.

University of Pittsburgh Obama Rally

The 2024 presidential election is just 25 days away and the race is tighter than a pair of Young Thug’s skinny jeans—it’s time to turn up the pressure and ensure that Donald Trump and his couch-canoodlin’ cohort JD Vance don’t become the Joker and Harley Quinn of Washington, D.C. To that end, former President Barack Obama hopped on the campaign trial in Pittsburgh to stump for Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz to become POTUS and VPOTUS and he was in rare form.

Barry O spent the first few minutes of his time joking, mocking, and admonishing Donald Trump for, well…everything that Donald Trump says and does—a relatively standard practice.

Once the fun and games were over, President Obama’s tone shifted to an annoyed, incredulous, even angry. It’s not often that you hear seething from the man who is critically acclaimed as one of the best orators alive but it was palpable as Obama tore into Vice President Harris’ opponent’s abhorrent behavior and general ineptitude.

Obama was clearly feeling a type of way prior to this speech. Prior to taking the stage, he appeared at a local Pittsburgh Harris-Walz campaign office where he asked the sparse group of mostly Black staff to oblige him while he “speaks some truths”.

The 44th President of the United States of America went on to call a thing “a thing” and directly addressed the polling stating that VP Harris is hemorrhaging support from the Black male demographic. He minced no words.

“And you are thinking about sitting out? Part of it makes me think — and I’m speaking to men directly — part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”

Peep his remarks in full in the video below.

The podcasters, hoteps, ADOS, Black MAGAs, and other useful idiots are going to ARGUE about this one.

Queens Court is back with new celebrity queens and one of the stunning sovereigns is speaking to BOSSIP about being courted by men of all races.”Yes, I like white men. I love me a white man. Sorry, I enjoy them,” said the “Rebellious Soul” songstress.

As previously reported the Peacock series returned on Sunday, Oct. 6 with three new celebrity queens; LisaRaye, London “Deelishis” Charles, and K. Michelle. The trio is seen rifling through 22 potential partners in an unconventional way with help from Holly Robinson Peete and Rodney Peete.

For K. Michelle, viewers are seeing a different side of her, one that’s vulnerable yet strong, open yet discerning as she seeks someone to be her peace amid her bustling career. Still, she admittedly had hangups about the Queens Court process.

“That was different for me. I don’t like men that would even go on TV to try and date me,” the singer admitted to BOSSIP. “That’s not my type of man that’s not my thing.”

Despite her reservations, however, she admitted to being impressed by the caliber of the men involved.

“A lot of them were very well-off, but most importantly, they were gentlemen,” she shared. “I made great friends from that show and they were really some great guys.”

K. Michelle Talks Her Queen’s Court Dating Preferences

K. Michelle has always been open to dating vanilla kings, and that’s a standout aspect of her Queens Court dating journey.

QUEENS COURT

The singer told BOSSIP that her ideal man is someone who’s healed, not famous (and doesn’t want to be), God-fearing, family-driven, and presumably from the South.

“I naturally like southern men and I’m at the phase where I don’t like mean men. I like men that treat me like a princess,” she said.

What her perfect match is not, however, is a particular race.

On the show, K. Michelle is courted by two white men, and according to the “Can’t Raise A Man” singer, she could care less about detractors who take issue with it.

“I don’t be caring. They get so mad at me about things like that,” K. Michelle told BOSSIP. “Yes, I like white men. I love me a white man. Sorry, I enjoy them,” she added noting that for her, attraction knows no bounds. “You like what you like… I’m attracted to all men… I love my brothers and all of that, but I’m very much open to love.”

“I’m going to like who I like and I don’t discriminate due to color. I like me a white man with a man bun, I enjoy that,” she added with a laugh.

Speaking of the pool of suitors on the show, K. Michelle made sure to note that she wasn’t interested in competing with LisaRaye and Deelishis for the men’s affection on Queens Court. 

“I’m not competitive,” said K. Michelle noting that her perspective on relationships is rooted in self-assurance. “Some women see you and what you have and they want it, and that’s human life, that happens with me a lot. My thing is, a man doesn’t know what he wants.”

“If you could like her, then couldn’t possibly like me” she added. “Once you’ve dabbled with someone else, I don’t want no parts of it. I don’t want that woman’s juices. I don’t comingle like that.”

K. Michelle Talks Her Country Music Career

While her dating life takes center stage on Queen’s Court, K. Michelle remains focused on her career, particularly in the country music genre where Black artists are having a bit of a renaissance.

“This is completely different from R&B,” the singer who sings as Puddin in the genre told BOSSIP. “If you’re in country, as a country writer or country artist, it’s about the dedication and the time and being in the city and living like that.”

With that in mind, she now spends much of her time in Nashville, writing with some of the biggest names in the industry which she loves.

“Every morning I wake up, I write with some of the biggest writers in Nashville, period.”

With the pressure to succeed, she remains committed to making “great music” and putting out an album that reflects her dedication and artistry.

“I feel like culture is rooting for me,” she told BOSSIP. “It can really do a lot for culture and just women.”

During the final minutes of TVEI Streaming Network’s new two-episode documentary Karma: A Daughter’s Journey, Abi claims she was abused by the singer as a child. She also reveals that she first reported it to her mother Andrea in 2009, when she was 10 years old.

“He was my everything. For a long time, I didn’t even want to believe that it happened,” she said in the doc, according to PEOPLE. “I didn’t know that even if he was a bad person that he would do something to me.”

Buku continued, “I was too scared to tell anybody. I was too scared to tell my mom.”

In the first episode, Abi, who was born Joann Kelly, doesn’t go into more detail about the alleged abuse, but she does say that she thinks jail is a “well-suited place” for her father, which she knows from her “personal experience.”

“I really feel like that one millisecond completely just changed my whole life and changed who I was as a person and changed the sparkle I had and the light I used to carry,” she says. “After I told my mom, I didn’t go over there anymore; my brother [Robert] and sister [Jaah], we didn’t go over there anymore. And even up until now I struggle with it a lot.”

Abi does go into more detail in about the alleged abuse in the second episode, revealing it happened when she was 8 or 9.

“I just remember waking up to him touching me,” she remembers while crying. “And I didn’t know what to do, so I just kind of laid there, and I pretended to be asleep.”

Buku went on to say that she eventually told her mother what happened, and they went to the police and filed a complaint as “Jane Doe.”

“They couldn’t prosecute him because I waited too long,” Abi said. “So at that point in my life, I felt like I said something for nothing.”

Kelly’s attorney Jennifer Bonjean responded to these allegations in a statement to PEOPLE, saying: “Mr. Kelly vehemently denies these allegations. His ex-wife made the same allegation years ago, and it was investigated by the Illinois Department of Children & Family Services and was unfounded…. And the ‘filmmakers,’ whoever they are, did not reach out to Mr. Kelly or his team to even allow him to deny these hurtful claims.”

R. Kelly was sentenced to 20 years in prison on charges of child pornography and enticement of minors for sex in Feb. 2023. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison a year prior for racketeering and sex trafficking charges based out of New York.

He’s currently serving 19 years of his two sentences and will be eligible for release in 2045.

The trip celebrated the dedication and hard work of the Raising Cane’s team as they prepared to close out a monumental year, with the company set to operate over 875 restaurants and hit nearly $5 billion in sales by the end of 2024.

The event was led by Raising Cane’s founder and owner Todd Graves, and provided an opportunity to reflect on the brand’s journey and continued growth while also recognizing the people who have been instrumental in its success.

Graves emphasized that Cane’s has stayed true to its values, maintaining a focus on quality, consistency, and the well-being of its crew and customers alike.

“We take a lot of pride in serving what we call the ‘perfect box,’ and we know we owe it to our crew members to ensure that we deliver the best experience every day,” said Graves during the conference.

The festivities kicked off on Sunday with attendees arriving at the fully Cane ’s-branded resort, where they were treated to welcome receptions, branded swag, and a relaxed evening of drinks and music. The next day offered a blend of leisure activities like beach volleyball and yoga, alongside optional workshops such as “Making Millionaires” that explored Raising Cane’s Restaurant Partner Program.

Graves’ message during the event was clear: Raising Cane’s is built on a foundation of strong values, driven by its people.

“Our secret sauce isn’t just in our food; it’s in how we operate. We grow the right way, taking care of our crew and staying true to what makes us successful.”

It’s A Dogg Eat Dogg World, But Snoop Says Raising Cane’s Can Withstand The Test Of Time

On Monday night, the crowd was electrified by a special fireside chat with Graves and Grammy-winning rapper and producer Snoop Dogg, followed by a concert where Snoop both performed and DJ’d.

Snoop’s appearance at Canecún was more than just entertainment—it was a testament to his friendship with Graves and his admiration for Raising Cane’s values.

Snoop spoke about what he loves about Cane’s:

“Somebody was saying that Raising Cane’s only got chicken strips, french fries, and toast. I’m like, ‘S***, that’s all you need.’ It’s about quality and consistency.”

His words echoed Graves’ own philosophy about sticking to what they’re good at and not compromising.

“We haven’t changed in 28 years,” Graves noted. “We stay focused on our values, and that’s why people keep coming back.”

Snoop also shared personal reflections on leadership, family, and balancing a busy life. “I’ve got so much trust and faith in the people around me,” he said, adding that it’s important to lean on family and trusted partners. He described moments of connection, like when his wife FaceTimed him from Disneyland with their grandkids, emphasizing the importance of making time for the people who matter most.

“A great leader loves to listen and knows how to receive information,” Snoop continued. “You need to be able to listen to those who’ve helped make you successful.”

Snoop’s presence at Canecún wasn’t just about his star power; it was also about aligning with Raising Cane’s community-focused values.

Graves presented Snoop with a gift of Bruce Lee’s famous nunchucks as a symbol of their partnership and mutual respect.

According to Graves, the opportunity to work with Snoop and other celebs who champion the brand as “Caniacs” like Post Malone is always a pleasure.

Bron, Savannah, Bronny - The 2023 ESPY Awards - Show

Netflix’s reality show Starting 5 features LeBron and Savannah James discussing Bronny’s cardiac arrest for the first time and his road to recovery.

After the success of Quarterback, and Receiver, Netflix has finally tackled the NBA with Starting 5. On the show, we watch emotional moments like Jimmy Butler breaking the third wall mid-season after the passing of his father.

Jimmy goes from being focused on securing an NBA championship to flat-out revealing it just doesn’t matter because the grief overrode everything.

Another surprising moment came in the form of LeBron and Savannah James discussing Bronny’s cardiac arrest for the first time.

Last July, Bronny suffered cardiac arrest during workouts at USC and was rushed to Cedars Sani Hospital. A congenital heart defect likely caused Bronny James’ medical episode and he quickly had surgery to fix the issue before hitting the court for USC.

During the Netflix series, LeBron and Savannah James emotionally revealed that they “almost lost Bronny.”

“I think at the end of the day, it was just about us supporting each other and just being super grateful for the outcome,” a tearful Savannah said.”Shout out to the man above,” LeBron said.”And to the whole coaching staff, training staff, members of that program,” LeBron continued, calling USC staffer Erin a “lifesaver, literally.”

We also learn LeBron cautioned Bronny about returning to basketball play despite Bronny being cleared for his medical return to sports on November 30, only four months later.

“It’s crazy with kids, when they love something and they want something, that’s all that matters to them,” LeBron explained in the show. “As a parent, you’re like, ‘You had a cardiac arrest, like…,’ and in his mind he’s like, ‘Can I or can I not play ball again and if the answer is yes, when can I play ball again? Like, I love that.’” The leading NBA scorer continued. “Bronny’s the first person in the family to go to college. Nobody in my family ever went to college and to see my son playing the game he loves at the collegiate level but to see where he is as a young man is, like, ‘Wow, it could have been so much more worse for our family.’”

We all know how the story ends, Bronny is now a Los Angeles Laker alongside his pops becoming the first father-son duo in the NBA. For this to happen, Bronny had to put in the work off the court and away from cameras. Luckily it paid off.

You can watch Bron and Savannah discussing the traumatic event below.

Lupita Nyong’o isn’t closing the door for love, but right now, it’s not in the cards.

Red Carpet For

During a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar UK, the 41-year-old actress seemingly confirmed that her romance with Joshua Jackson has come to an end. While she didn’t address that relationship, specifically, she did make it very clear that the only love in her life right now is for her cat, Yoyo.

“My love for my cat is singular,” she told the mag. “If I’m ever so lucky to be in a romantic relationship again, it’ll be because of him. I was ready to shut that door and lock it and bolt it. He has ensured that my heart remains open.”

Nyong’o adopted Yoyo at the end of 2023, shortly after she announced her split from ex-boyfriend Selema Masekela. It wasn’t long after that she and Jackson–who also went through a recent split–first sparked dating rumors. The pair were seen spending a lot of time together in Los Angeles after Jodie Turner-Smith filed for divorce from Jackson, going on to spend a romantic weekend in Mexico to celebrate Lupita’s birthday in March.

After they seemed to confirm their relationship on that PDA-filled vacation, the couple went quiet, and in September, Jackson was seen out in New York City with model Nastassja Roberts. Joshua’s new companion sparked rumors that his romance with Lupita was over, and now, it looks like that’s the case.

In her Harper’s Bazaar UK interview, Nyong’o didn’t open up any more about that romance, but she did appear to speak on her 2023 breakup from Masekela.

“You go through a lot of like, ‘Why? What were the signs? Why didn’t I see them? And if I did, why didn’t I act on them?’ ” Nyong’o said, seemingly referring to the assumptions that her former partner cheated. “Also, replaying moments and thinking, ‘Oh, I felt this apprehension, and I ignored it. Why did I ignore it?’ It can get toxic to beat yourself up about a past you can’t change, but it’s also an opportunity to learn about yourself.”

While Nyong’o was open with fans following that heartbreak, it’s safe to say the actress won’t be sharing so much in the future.

“It’s hard enough to go through heartbreak privately,” she admitted. “When the world has an image of you in relation to someone else, it prolongs the healing process because the memory is emblazoned in the public domain.”

A #RHOA newbie is opening up about the shocking fallout that led to an OG being booted from the Bravo show. “Karma is real,” said the insurance professional.

Brit Eady was a guest this week on the “Love and Fly S***” podcast, and the reality star discussed Kenya Moore’s actions toward her.

As previously reported Kenya announced in June that she wouldn’t be returning to The Real Housewives of Atlanta with some reports claiming she was “fired” and others alleging that she was “taking a break” from season 16 with an option to return.

The announcement came amid reports that Kenya violated production’s code of conduct by blowing up photos of Eady seemingly performing oral, sex, and after audio leaked of Moore alleging that the #RHOA newbie was an escort.

In the aftermath of Kenya’s shocking #RHOA departure, the star who was initially suspended for her actions, told TeamTwirl that she had a “clean conscience” and was looking forward to thriving in a “nontoxic environment.”

“The rumors and narrative about me randomly showing nudes or revenge p is 1000% untrue,” added the former Miss USA. “I have proof and will share soon.”

Now Brit Eady’s speaking out and she’s not holding back.

Brit Eady Calls Kenya Moore’s #RHOA Departure “Karma”

On Wednesday, Eady and her husband Mike Cunningham sat down with “Love and Fly S***” podcast hosts Jenna Nia and Donay for a discussion on their love story.

Things got especially interesting however when Jenna Nia brought up #RHOA and alleged that she witnessed Kenya and another housewife gossiping behind Brit’s back.

“I personally met Kenya and I swear to God, the first day we were all in the room that I met Kenya–I could hear her and another person talking about you,” said the host. “They were just teaming up on her.”

She then said that she attended and worked the red carpet at the Kenya Moore Hair Spa opening where the alleged revenge porn was displayed and was shocked to see what went down.

“I had just gotten on the carpet and told her, ‘Congratulations, I’m so happy for you, this is empowering women,’” siad Jenna Nia. “And then she turned around and did the complete opposite, she chose to make the event about you and it was just craziness.”

“Karma is real,” replied Brit.

“My girl Brit will forever go down in history as the one that got the girl off the show,” said Jenna Nia. “When her fans see what really happened and how it played out… it was diabolical.”

According to Brit, things got intense and fans will have to watch how things play out.

“You gotta remember, what you put out; someway, somehow, will come right back and tenfold. Karma is real, and well will see on season 16 how it all unravels. A lot of people are going to be shocked. It gets intense.”

She continued,

“It’s tough discussing this, but outside of that situation, it’s still going to be a very light-hearted show. It’s going to be fun, and I think people will get a closer look at who I really am.”

Standing firm on her principles, she added.

“I am somebody where I stand firm on my own two feet, and I’m fine with standing alone if it means standing on what’s right. Real recognizes real, and I think everyone will be pleased with what they see.”

The #RHOA newbie also made sure to send some shade noting that Kenya might have been jealous of someone “half her age.”

Kenya Moore has yet to respond to Brit Eady’s karma claims.
