Usher was about to come sing to Winnie Harlow and she hopped in her man (Kyle Kuzma) lap. 😭

UPDATE: I waited for him, because FINE and because shooters shoot. And as luck would have it, both of our flights are delayed. So now we’re at Fridays 😏.
Saw a big fine ass Black man going through customs. We maintained eye contact the entire time we looped the lines. The shooter in me would’ve stopped once we made it through, but I had to rush to my connecting flight — only to find out it’s delayed by two hours 🙄🙃.

19 years ago in 2003, Beyoncé starred in her 1st Pepsi commercial. Later that year The Fighting Temptations was released, starring a kid actress cast to play a young Bey. 19 years after her mentor’s ad for the brand, Chlöe has one too. You couldn’t write it more perfect.

I work for the two Black owned networks that currently do this and y'all don't support it. People *say* they want this kind of programming, but our weekly Research meetings (ratings) say otherwise.
I still think about how BET really still missed the bag with creating actual meaningful content such as black cooking, home improvement, crafting shows and not just black people embarrassing themselves or baby boy being played everyday

I don't work for Viacom, but I do work for another network and we get these questions often. The reason you dont see "classics" is because the licensing fee has expired and/or too expensive to repurchase, especially if most of the show has music in it.
I kinda forgot how programming works lol, but SURELY MTV has their classic shows somewhere in the vault right? They’re missing out hard by not having them available during this quarantine.

And yet and still, this isn’t a rebrand. There was no change in name, logo, or aesthetic. What you’re witnessing is the maturation process of an artist, both in musicality and stage presence, and as a person. That’s it. Doing a press run at “unlikely” outlets is just good PR.
