Proud Papi Preciousness! Drake FINALLY Confirms He Fathered A Lil Drizzy Jr. On New ‘Scorpion’ Album

Prince Williams/WireImage Looks like Pusha T pressed the fatherhood out of Drake … Drake Confirms He Fathered A Child On New Album We told you all about Drake’s Daddy drama saga as it unfolded last year…from his denial and doubt that he fathered a child with former vixen and solo cam chick Sophie “Rosee Divine” Brussaux , to his eventual acceptance of fact and support of his new lil OVO family . And then Pusha T dropped “The Story of Adidon…” and yeah. You know the rest from there. Well now, with the release of his double-album “Scorpion,” it seems Drake isn’t all that shy about the fact that he’s a Daddy anymore. In fact, he confirms the open secret of his infant son on multiple tracks on the album. Check out a few bars below: Emotionless – “I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world, I was hiding the world from my kid/ From empty souls who just wake up and looked to debate/ Until you starin’ at your seed, you can never relate.” 8 Out Of 10 – “Kiss my son on the forehead and kiss your ass goodbye” Mob Ties – “I’m not with the Ra-Ra, I am a Da-Da” March 14 – “Yesterday morning was crazy/ I had to come to terms with the fact that it’s not a maybe/ That shit is in stone, sealed and signed/ She not my lover like Billy Jean but the kid is mine.” On that same track, Drake also acknowledges that he only met his son once around Christmas. I got an empty crib in my empty crib/ I only met you one time, introduced you to St. Nick I think he must’ve brought you like twenty gifts/ Your mother say you growing so fast that they don’t even really fit/ But you know, I still had to get it for my boy though, you know WELP. That settles that. Drake is a Daddy and he isn’t being too tight-lipped about it anymore. Hopefully he can find some time to be a little more present though… Now all that’s left for Drizzy to do is show us the baby! But judging from these lines, we’re guessing that ain’t happening anytime soon. What do you think of Drake’s admission to being a real live Papi? Prince Williams/ATL Pics/Wire Image

#OscarsSoWhite: Academy Invites 928 New Members In An Attempt To Bolster Diversity

Image via Leon Bennett/Getty Images for Essence/Kevin Winter/Getty Images/ David M. Benett/Dave Benett/WireImage Academy Invites 928 New Members For 2018 We’re almost three years removed from the viral phenomenon known as #OscarsSoWhite . In its wake, there has been a flood of critically acclaimed Black content being produced for the big screen and 2017 saw some prominent people of color being awarded golden statues. In what appears to be an effort to continue this trend, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has offered memberships to 928 people according to The Hollywood Reporter . That number is up significantly from the 774 membership offers that were issued in 2017. Names like 14-year-old Quvenzhane Wallis and Get Out -turned- Black Panther star Daniel Kaluuya. Also, Tiffany Haddish, Trevante Rhodes, and veteran Wendell Pierce were extended invites to join the club. Here’s what these new potential members mean in regards to the demographic breakdown of voters: Forty-nine percent of the class of 2018 are female, and, should all accept membership, that will bring overall percentage of women in the Academy to 31 percent. Thirty-eight percent of the new invitees are people of color, which, should they all accept, would bring their overall percentage of the Academy to 16 percent. 16 percent is still embarrassingly low, but at least we’re making some progress, right? Hopefully folks like Dave Chappelle, Mindy Kaling, George Lopez accept their offers and can help bring about the change that we want to see in award shows going forward.

Will You Be Watching? Blaxploitation Sci-Fi Show “BlackStar Warrior” Premieres Next Week

Leonard Roberts Talks New Space Comedy On Brown Sugar A new comedy reimagines futuristic space travel through the perspective of 1970s era Blaxploitation. “BlackStar Warrior” tells the story of Tyson Roderick, a space traveler, who along with his robot sidekick, Lava, try to unravel the mystery of where he came from and why he’s just so freaking amazing. And its star Leonard Roberts told us that the show’s over the top premise allowed him to go all out. “It gave me permission to go full out, because we had authenticity at both ends,” Roberts said. “For whatever reason, Those types roles don’t often just cross my desk, so it was cool to just jump in with both feet and have a ball with it.” Peep the show’s trailer above. “BlackStar Warrior” premieres June 24 on Bounce TV’s streaming service, “Brown Sugar.”
