Joy Reid is opening up about what she describes as pay inequality during her career, revealing that during her time at MSNBC, she earned far less than colleagues doing the same job. Speaking earlier this month at the Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival’s C-Suite Soirée, the 56-year-old journalist told the audience she was paid “a tenth” of what others at the network, now known as MS NOW, received. “The curse of competency means you’re the best person at what you do,” Reid said during her conversation with Jotaka Eaddy, founder of Full Circle Strategies, as reported by PEOPLE. “You know…
Hernandez Govan walked out of a Memphis courtroom Thursday (August 21), cleared of all charges in the Young Dolph murder trial and declared he’s done with the city that, in his words, nearly broke him. Acquitted of first-degree murder and conspiracy in the 2021 ambush that left the rapper dead inside a cookie shop, Govan didn’t celebrate. Instead, he spoke of grief, regret and a desperate need for a new beginning—especially after losing his daughter, rising rapper Lotta Cash Desto, in a fatal shooting just weeks before he was indicted. “Leave Memphis,” Govan told reporters outside the courthouse when asked…
Ghostface Killah’s reputation as one of the most consistent and imaginative MCs in Hip Hop was cemented decades ago, with his classic solo debut Ironman in 1996 and the masterpiece Supreme Clientele in 2000.

Since the underappreciated 36 Seasons in 2014, Ghostface’s output has slowed, and the few projects he’s released since then on the way to 2025 have lacked the spark and consistency that once defined his work. His most…

According to Woodbine, Pac wasn’t just focused on his role; he was also trying to shoot his shot at Liu during downtime on set. Woodbine recalled Liu practicing with escrima sticks between scenes, something that immediately caught Tupac’s attention. “I just remember one day on set, Pac knocking on my trailer like, ‘Yo, man, what you doing?’ I’m like, ‘Just chilling.’ He goes, ‘Yeah, man. I just came…
