Source: Michael Kovac / Getty Algee Smith Reflects On McKay’s Euphoria Episode In New Interview When BOSSIP spoke to Euphoria star Algee Smith last month, he hinted at a specific scene in the show that made him particularly uncomfortable to shoot. I won’t give it away but I have this scene in one episode and it really challenged me as a man to do that scene. It was an uncomfortable scene for me, but I had to learn how to separate myself and just be the actor because someone might be dealing with that type. I had to get over my masculinity issues, as a black man we often have to realize it’s okay to be in this position for a minute. It’s not something that makes you less of a man but some things we just don’t feel comfortable with, like some men don’t feel okay crying. The episode of the series that focused on his character, Christopher McKay, aired last week, which also featured the scene that Smith was referencing above. The shocking turn of events had everyone talking, confused on what really went down when McKay was attacked by a group of fraternity members during an intimate moment with his girlfriend, Cassie. Algee Smith spoke to Complex following the episode causing an uproar to talk about his experience filming, what really happened in that scene, and what we can expect for McKay in the future. On what actually went down in that McKay scene: When I first read that in the script, I [wasn’t] comfortable at first because I thought it was just too much but he’s not harassed in the way that everybody thinks; it’s a hazing thing, [but] people think he’s getting raped or whatever. It’s like, nah, that’s just like messing with him, pinning him down, but the way it really looks on TV, it looks really dark. So I could see how people would think that because the editing made it look so dark. People just don’t know how to respond, [which is] really good though—when people don’t know, they ask questions. That keeps the conversation going. On Euphoria’s reception overall: The demographic is so wide, everyone is being targeted. So you got mothers and fathers who are talking, you got teenagers, you got college students, you got older people, you got the LBGTQ [community] that we’re talking to. We’re talking to everyone. We don’t [pull] any punches and I think that’s the great thing about it, we can relate to everyone. On his favorite episode of the series so far: I’m going to say my favorite was [“The Next Episode”], that’s where I feel like, just because knowing the work that went into it, and knowing how proud I made our director, I would say my episode is probably my favorite so far, but they’ve all been crazy. Everyone was getting crazy and there’s cliffhangers with everyone. On where Algee sees himself 5 years from now: I can see myself very well balancing my acting and my music. I can see myself touring. You’re going to consistently hear me on the radio, on the speaker, and on your screen. That’s my goals, be consistent just keep doing what I’m doing at a high level, getting better every year. With Euphoria already being renewed for season 2 just a few episodes in, there’s no question that this series is going to tell a lot of interesting stories in the future–and Algee is just as excited as we are.
Source: Lil Nas X / Columbia Records Young Thug has a very unique view on life and how we all should be living it. This was further cemented when discussing Lil Nas X coming out. As spotted on High Snobiety the at times sexually ambiguous performer sat down for an interview with Adam22 for No Jumper . While the two discussed several topics it was his take on the “Old Town Road” rapper’s announcing that he is gay that took many by surprise. “I feel like he probably shouldn’t have told the world, because these days—motherf***ers is just all judgement,” he explained. “It ain’t even about the music no more. Soon as the song comes on everybody’s like ‘this gay ass n***a’.” Shortly after making the comment it seemed to dawn on him that his theory could get him on the hot seat thus he quickly elaborated his stance. “It wasn’t a bad idea and it was most definitely the best time to do it. During Pride [Month]. That was a G’s move.” Thug also made it clear that the Atlanta native’s decision isn’t for the weak and if there is anyone in the game that can relate it would be him. “But it’s like, he young and I know what he going to be dealing with. I dealt with this sh*t before.” Most recently Jeffery jumped on the “Old Town Road” remix . You can view the interview with the Lil Nas X segment starting at the 15:00 minute mark. Photo: WENN.com

After some disgusting hacker accessed her private photos, Bella Thorne shared her own pics to rob her blackmailer of any power over her. It was a courageous move, but unfortunately, Whoopi Goldberg used her time on The View to victim-blame Bella. Whoopi scolded her for photographing her body at all, but now Bella is tastefully clapping back. Whoopi had a truly appalling response to Bella Thorne's photos being hacked. “If you're famous,” she admonishes on The View . “I don't care how old you are, you don't take nude pictures of yourself.” Sunny Hostin attempts to interject, but Whoopi barrels on. “Listen,” Whoopi demands. “When they're hacking you, they're hacking all of your stuff.” “So whether it's one picture or a million pictures,” she continues. “Once you take that picture, it goes into the cloud.” “And it's available to any hacker who wants it!” Whoopi says. “You don't know that? In 2019? That this is an issue?” she unfortunately continues. “I'm sorry … you don't get to do that,” Whoopi admonishes. Almost every part of what Whoopi just said is wrong — both morally and factually. Bella saw Whoopi's tirade and had some words of her own. Bella took to her Instagram Stories and, through tears, clapped back at Whoopi. “Dear Whoopi, I have loved you for so long,” Bella begins. “But honestly,” she admits. “I'm so displeased and saddened by your response to my leak.” “Blaming girls for taking the photo in the first place? Is sick and honestly disgusting,” Bella states. She adds: “I'm offended for anyone out there who has ever taken a sexy photo.” “I am offended for Jennifer Lawrence,” Bella notes. “Who feels publicly raped.” “I am offended for every person who has committed suicide for someone leaking their nudes,” she expresses. “Ur view on this matter is honestly awful,” Bella correctly assesses. “And,” she replies. “I hope u change ur mindset as u are a show talking to young girls.” “I'm not going to lie, I want to say I feel pretty disgusting, Whoopi, knowing everyone's seen my s–t,” Bella admits. She shouldn't feel disgusting, but that's the effect that vile hackers can have upon their victims. “And I just want to say that me watching this interview made me feel really bad about myself,” she adds. “And I hope you're happy. I really do,” “I really hope you're so f–king happy,” Bella expresses. “Because I can only imagine all the kids who have their s–t released and then they commit suicide.” “So,” she laments. “You're so crazy for thinking such terrible things on such an awful situation.” “Shame on you, Whoopi,” Bella admonishes. “Shame on you,” she repeats. “And shame on you for putting that public opinion just out there like that.” People voicing these toxic opinions furthers pernicious cultural forces like rape culture, slut-shaming, and victim-blaming. Bella is upset that Whoopi said those words “for every young girl to think that they're disgusting for even taking a photo like that.” Now, Bella may have pushed things a little far by mentioned people who have committed suicide. Yes, some people who were similarly blackmailed with their own nudes have taken their lives. But they're usually minors, not celebs. But Bella's point still holds up — that Whoopi is placing the blame on the wrong person. Owning a television or jewelry does not make you foolish, even if those things get stolen. Having a body, no matter how you're dressed (or not dressed), does not justify sexual assault. And yes, even famous people can take photos of themselves — and it's never their fault if those photos are hacked or shared. We also mentioned that Whoopi was factually mistaken. You actually don't have to save all of your photos to cloud storage. Having backups is smart, but many phones have the option of keeping your photos secure. If you're sending your pictures to someone, it's smart to make sure that they, too, are not backing up photos on the cloud. But even if you don't take that safety step, the only person to blame for stealing or sharing your nudes is the person who steals or shares them.

For the latest issue of FADER , the “Woke Up Like This” artist graces the cover as he is the issue’s primary interview as FADER Senior Editor Ben Dandridge-Lemco was able to catch up with the straight off of Cochella Carti in his hometown of ATL. Much ground is covered in the lengthy interview as Playboi discusses a range of topics including his current love life explaining how he “just cut everybody off” once he met his boo, Iggy Azalea to bluntly stating that Atlanta is the current kingdom in which Hip-Hop resides in. “This is the home of the whole hip-hop. N*ggas ain’t f*cking with us on this music sh*t, and I ain’t just talking about me. I’m talking about the next n*gga that we don’t even know about right now, making a song. He’s from Atlanta.” Well, at least he didn’t claim to be the King of New York.
