Rico Nasty has spoken out about the mistreatment she's endured as an opener on Playboi Carti's King Vamp Tour. This comes after several videos were posted online showing Playboi Carti fans disrespecting Rico on multiple tour stops. The 24-year-old rapper wrote a series of unsettling messages on Twitter over the weekend addressing her struggles. "I dead ass need at least two hours out of each day. To just cry," she tweeted. In another tweet, she wrote, "Crazy how I wanted a tour bus my whole life and now I just be on the tour bus crying myself to sleep every night."

The 2021 Soul Train Awards was packed with so many amazing highlights, but Jazmine Sullivan 's acceptance speech definitely stands out! The R&B singer took home an award album of the year for Heux Tales , which embodies the different journeys to self-acceptance that Black women experience. During Sullivan's speech on Sunday night, she candidly admitted she felt "uncomfortable" being back on stage due to her weight gain amid the pandemic and almost didn't come to the show. However, she took strength from her own album to accept her rightfully deserved award. "I wrote this project for women to love themselves, no matter what stage of life that they're in," Sullvan told the crowd. "You have to love yourself, especially because society would have us - especially Black women - not love anything about ourselves. I realize I can't just talk about it, I got to be about it." Throughout the night, Black women were truly honored and uplifte

Mark your calendars, because a Cheetah Girls reunion is coming soon . . . sort of. If you're a fan of Disney Channel's That's So Raven (yep, that's me!), which ran from 2003 to 2007, then you're probably familiar with Raven Baxter's ( Raven-Symoné ) notorious bully Alana ( Adrienne Bailon Houghton ). Well, for the first time in 15 years, Raven and Houghton will be sharing the screen again! TVLine reports that Houghton is set to reprise her role as Alana in an upcoming episode of That's So Raven 's spinoff Raven's Home when season five premieres in 2022.

Squid Game fans can't seem to escape the Younghee doll , but it's a little less scary when it's BTS's Jin, who paid homage to the breakout star of the Korean television drama by playing a game of red light, green light with fans. Jin saved the shenanigans for the end of Sunday's show of their four-night Permission to Dance On Stage concert . In case you missed the fun, Jim wore pink ribbons to create pigtails, but he didn't quite commit to wearing the signature orange dress with a yellow shirt underneath like the spooky doll did in the Netflix series. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JIN (김석진) (@jin_bighitentertainment) Nonetheless, Jin commanded the stadium as he hummed the doll's ominous song and shouted, "green light" followed by "red light" when he turned around. If this was the real Squid Game competition, the ARMY fans would not have made it as far as Seong Gi-Hu

Season two of Saved by The Bell landed on NBC's Peacock last week, starring not one, but two Latinas. The first season got the type of praise that's rare for reboots and it deserved it. This 2020s version of Saved by the Bell uses the same format and location as the original : It's still a thirty-minute comedy about a group of friends at the uber-rich Bayside High. But it also makes fun of itself, getting jokes out of the original cast's escapades while focusing on a newer, more diverse generation. The second season is just as good as the first, taking place in the post-COVID school year with our teens back on campus and ready to shed their isolation blues. Part of what makes it work is Afro-Latina Alycia Pascual-Peña playing the role of Aisha. She's sort of the new Slater as the athletic best friend and quarterback of the football team. But since the Zack role is also held by a Latina ( Haskiri Velazquez as Daisy ), their dynamic is more about supporting and l

The soundtrack features new music from artists like Saweetie , Thundercat, Ro James, TeaMarr, Nnena, and many more. It will arrive on streaming platforms on Dec. 3.

Tiffany Haddish and Common have decided to call it quits after one year of dating. A source told People , "They are never in the same city together and both of them are just too busy for a serious relationship."

To get us excited, Sheeran posted a teaser for the track. It opens in Love Actually style with giant cue cards on John's doorstep.

Natasha Rothwell directed Sunday night's episode of Insecure and what a ride! The episode centered around Issa Dee ( Issa Rae ) and Nathan ( Kendrick Sampson ) and their dysfunctional relationship; Molly ( Yvonne Orji ) allowing herself to be vulnerable with her coworker Taurean ( Leonard Robinson ) amid her mom's ailing health, and of course, Issa's wild fever dreams assaulting her ex Lawrence's ( Jay Ellis ) baby momma Condola ( Christina Elmore ) and dunking their son, Elijah. " [The episode] typifies your 30s : 'What do I think? What do I feel like? What do I want? What do you want?'" Rothwell, who plays Kelli Prenny, told the Los Angeles Times . Of directing the episode, Rothwell told Bustle she spent a lot of time studying leading up to her directorial debut .

Keke Palmer's list of talents is officially longer than a CVS receipt - and we all know how endless those tend to be. During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show , the Hustlers actress showed off her uncanny knack for impersonating fellow celebrities , and each one had us doing an open-mouthed double - nay, triple - take. Keke kicked things off by mimicking Angela Bassett playing the role of Michael Jackson 's mom in The Jacksons: An American Dream , and her exaggerated mouth and shoulder movements were so spot-on, host Jimmy Fallon jumped up from his seat in surprise, much like we did while watching from home. Next up came the real treat: Keke's impression of Shakira , which was fittingly unleashed as a cover of the singer's 2001 track "Whenever, Wherever." The 28-year-old star completely nailed Shakira 's distinctive voice, with Jimmy describing her performance as both "phenomenal" and "unbelievable." The best part? Shakira h

Between Issa ( Issa Rae ) and Lawrence's ( Jay Ellis ) inevitable breakup in the first episode and their awkward run-in with Condola (Christina Elmore) and baby Elijah, the final season is keeping us on our toes. But the latest shocker of the season may come from a possible romance that's blossoming between Molly and . . . Taurean (Leonard Robinson). Yes, you remember Taurean: Molly's hard-ass co-worker from the law firm who loves giving her a tough time. After her rough breakup with Andrew ( Alexander Hodge ) in Insecure's season four finale , Molly's trek back into the dating pool has been an uphill battle. Her complicated love life has been the subject of the show since the very beginning, but now it looks like she may be finding stability in a very unexpected place. "I guess in season three, they were kind of planting the seeds
