Jada Pinkett Smith isn’t afraid to get candid. The multi-hyphenate has continued to use her Red Table Talk series to speak openly about a wide range of topics that others may find uncomfortable: We’re talking open relationships, infidelity, racism, and even her own family problems.

Lil Mosey is being ordered to stay away from his alleged rape victim.

In what’s known as a […]
Toronto rapper KILLY dropped a new single and music video, “RICK BOOTS,” today. The track sees the MC continue his hot streak, attempting to exorcise his demons over a glitchy, melodramatic beat by FREAKEY!, OMAR GUETFA, and A.D.
