If you were paying attention during this season of Insecure , you caught the characters casually watching a reboot of their favorite 90’s sitcom, Kev’yn — which appropriately stars some of your favorite faces from REAL 90’s sitcoms. Featuring Bill Bellamy, Erika Alexander, and Darryl M. Bell, Kev’yn pulled out that classic 90’s slapstick humor and spoofed the onslaught of reboots that are hitting television screens these days — while subtly pointing out the lack of Black-centric shows that have gotten that revival treatment. What did you think of Kev’yn this season?? FilmMagic for HBO/YouTube
If there’s one thing Joe Budden isn’t short on , it’s opinions. Between his podcast and his State of the Culture show , it seems there’s no topic unturned when it comes to sharing his thoughts and assessments. On his latest segment, Joe ranks the clout levels of different topics on a scale of 1-9, gauging just how much clout they hold in the culture — or in life in general — today. Do you agree with Joe’s hot takes on these topics? Ilya S. Savenok/Getty Images/YouTube
L et’s recap the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination, shall we? Donald Trump ‘s pick to be on the nation’s highest court has been accused of being a hot-headed heavy drinker who can quickly morph into an angry drunk; a sexual predator to the tune of plotting to drug and sexually assault women with his friends; getting into at least one bar fight; and tampering with witnesses who could unravel his increasingly flimsy nomination. Yet, even in the face of mounting evidence of Kavanaugh’s guilt in each of the above categories, and others, white women are statistically split down the middle when it comes to whether they believe the judge’s persistent denials of carousing and sexual debauchery from his days in high school and college. At least that was according to a brand new Quinnipiac poll that found the number of Americans who wanted Kavanaugh confirmed was shrinking while white women as a group were seemingly indifferent despite the salacious claims by college professor Christine Blasey Ford . 80% of black voters believe Dr. Ford over Kavanaugh, as do 66% of hispanic voters. Only 40% of white voters do. When split by gender, 46% of white women believe Dr. Ford and 43% believe Kavanaugh, a statistically insignificant difference Only 37% of white men believe Dr. Ford. pic.twitter.com/EAfWlqm9Xj — Mangy Jay (@magi_jay) October 1, 2018 In case you’re keeping score, that’s 43 percent of white women who were siding with Kavanaugh versus 46 percent who said they believed Ford. It was also reported that another key white woman apparently didn’t believe Ford: Rachel Mitchell, the sex crimes prosecutor from Arizona who Republicans hired to ask Ford questions during her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week. . @PBS : Rachel Mitchell writes in a new memo sent to Senate Republicans that she does not believe a “reasonable prosecutor would bring this case based on the evidence before the Committee.” #SCOTUS #ConfirmKavanaugh https://t.co/lQFhuilFBd — Senate Judiciary (@senjudiciary) October 2, 2018 If Kavanaugh does get confirmed, this wouldn’t be the first time white women found themselves on the wrong side of history with an accused sexual predator in question. Fifty-three percent of white women voters cast ballots for Trump in 2016 even though he had admitted to using his celebrity to force himself on women, among other transgressions. In a CNN analysis published Tuesday morning, Ronald Brownstein wrote that “Ford’s detailed allegations of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh could allow Democrats to solidify an unprecedented advantage among those women, who represent one of the few steadily growing components of the white electorate.” But if Monday’s poll was any indication, that wasn’t entirely correct.

T ime’s Up will presumably be stepping up its efforts against sexual harassment with the addition of a new leader. The organization has enlisted WNBA President Lisa Borders , a Black woman, to become its inaugural President and Chief Executive Officer. RELATED: Time’s Up Just Made A Major Move On Their Grind To Fight Sexual Harassment Borders will be leaving her prominent WNBA role for the new position after three successful seasons, the league announced Tuesday. She said she planned on still supporting the league at Time’s Up. She was also starting the role at a significant time with several women who have shared their assault accusations about convicted actor Bill Cosby and Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh . What exactly could be Borders first orders of business at the anti-sexual harassment organization? Just announced: WNBA President Lisa Borders is stepping down from her position to become the first-ever President and Chief Executive Officer of Time’s Up. NBA Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum will oversee the WNBA on an interim basis. https://t.co/XfayEm6xKZ — WNBA (@WNBA) October 2, 2018 We are thrilled to welcome Lisa Borders as our first-ever President and CEO! https://t.co/xc3HrMv4ee — TIME'S UP (@TIMESUPNOW) October 2, 2018 First, Borders could be vocal about the organization’s push in calling for senators to stop Kavanaugh’s confirmation. There has been much talk about the FBI launching a sexual assault investigation into Kavanaugh as Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and other women have come forward with allegations. Time’s Up is, of course, in a pivotal position to press this issue, especially with the help of Borders. Call your senators to demand that there be no vote on Kavanaugh’s confirmation until the FBI finishes a thorough and complete investigation with no artificial time line. Senate Switchboard : (202) 224-3121 #BelieveSurvivors — TIME'S UP (@TIMESUPNOW) September 28, 2018 Also, Borders, whose “Take a Seat, Take a Stand” program allowed for WNBA ticket proceeds to be donated to nonprofits for empowering women and girls, could start with advocacy for ending the gender pay gap. On Monday, Time’s Up announced its involvement in supporting an open letter by Reel Equity urging the entertainment industry to close the pay disparity for women. We've signed @ReelEquity 's open letter calling on the entertainment industry to address the gender pay gap for women working behind the scenes in Hollywood. https://t.co/FLNdTvOTfq #ReelEquity — TIME'S UP (@TIMESUPNOW) October 1, 2018 It was also worth noting that Borders is the latest Black woman to step up to lead a prominent organization or well-known business. Several beleaguered companies have turned to African-American women, including Papa John’s ‘ appeal last month to Bozoma Saint John.

Not sure where the new music is that Desiigner claimed he’d be dropping in the Summer, but the “Panda” rapper is making headlines more these days for his personal drama than his music. On Monday night, he was kicked off a plane in Europe after a flight attendant allegedly put her hands on him. TMZ reports , The NYC rapper posted a series of videos Tuesday explaining a run-in he had on Scandinavian Airlines Monday night, where he says an older female flight attendant got touchy with him — which caused him to “spazz” out on her and get booted from the flight. He also says he was banned from SAS for a whole year, and goes on to call on his fans to avoid flying with them in the aftermath. Desiigner basically chalks it up to flying while black. The airline has yet to make an official statement regarding the incident, but they did tell TMZ that “some passengers behaved in a threatening manner toward the crew” and that “such behavior is unacceptable and that safety is their first priority.” Do you think the incident was race related?

(Photo by Jerritt Clark/Getty Images for Remy Martin) Last night, the search for hip-hop’s next big producer came to an end at the Season 5 finale of the Rémy Martin Producer Series as BIG SEAN & MUSTARD crowned Chicago’s MILO as the winner! The star-studded, red carpet event converted the Belasco Theater in downtown Los Angeles into a studio, as aspiring producers from seven cities across the U.S. competed for the opportunity of a lifetime – a co-sign and a chance to make a track with Grammy-nominated artist BIG SEAN and mega producer MUSTARD . Hosted by the Breakfast Club’s DJ ENVY , the event featured performances by the regional finalists who competed in seven different local markets this summer. The competitors included St. James the Producer (New York City), Fasheez Fasho (Detroit), Allen Kass (Las Vegas), Cassius (Miami), Young Sidechain (Atlanta), Milo (Chicago) and OnBeatMusic (Houston). The tournament-styled competition was judged by Mustard and Big Sean themselves, as the producers played their beats for an enthusiastic crowd. Throughout the competition the two hip-hop superstars were joined by other industry executives and notables in providing the producers with feedback and suggestions on how to perfect their craft. The intense competition came down to crowd-favorite Youngside Chain and the energetic afro-beat sounds of Milo as they battled it out on stage! In the end, MILO emerged victorious as confetti rained down from the rafters and he was gifted two limited-edition Remy Martin Producer Series Champion gold chains! The VIP event also attracted some of the music industry’s biggest names, who toasted to the art of making music and the next generation in music production with premium Rémy Martin cocktails all night (Notable celebrities and guests available via getty link). The evening also featured another new star, the Rémy Martin 1738 ® Limited Edition Speaker Box, in collaboration with Live Nation, crafted to echo the spirit of the Rémy Martin Producers Series and the brand’s music campaign. Now the competition is over, Milo will begin to get in the studio with Big Sean and Mustard to producer hip-hop’s next big hit!
