The killing of 26-year-old Breonna Taylor made international news in 2020. During the height of the Black Lives Matter movement, the African-American EMT’s death at the hands of Louisville police officers galvanized activists around the world.
Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith, and Adrienne Banfield-Norris sat down with members of Breonna Taylor’s family for Red Table Talk. This week’s show debuts Wednesday, October 12 at 9 am PT/12 pm ET on Facebook Watch.
Breonna Taylor’s mother Tamika Palmer, sister Ju’Niyah Palmer and boyfriend Kenny Walker will be part of the Red Table Talk panel. Tamika D. Mallory, Benjamin Crump, Laura Coates,and Lonita Baker will also make appearances on the episode.
On March 13, 2020, plainclothes officers forced their way into Breonna Taylor and Kenny Walker’s apartment. The cops eventually killed Taylor. On August 4, 2022, four Louisville Metro Police Department officers were federally charged with violating Taylor’s civil rights, unlawful conspiracy, obstruction, and unconstitutional use of force.
“The Justice Department has charged four current and former Louisville Metro Police Department officers with federal crimes related to Breonna Taylor’s death,” stated United States Attorney General Merrick Garland.
The Attorney General also alleged the LMPD falsified the affidavit used to obtain the search warrant for Taylor’s home. Garland added, “Breonna Taylor should be alive today. The Justice Department is committed to defending and protecting the civil rights of every person in this country.”
On Red Table Talk, Kenny Walker will supposedly provide a “minute-by-minute account” of the shooting using police body camera footage. Tamika Palmer and Ju’Niyah Palmer will also discuss “shocking details” associated with the case, according to a press release.
Breonna Taylor’s name recently became a major topic on social media again. Kanye West posted a quote by Tamika Palmer on his Instagram page. While attempting to defend his controversial “White Lives Matter” shirt, West’s IG post referenced Palmer reportedly calling a Louisville chapter of BLM a “fraud.”
Styles P is becoming one of the leading voices in Hip Hop when it comes to conversations about mental health. The Lox member has dealt with trauma throughout his life, including losing a family member to suicide.
The New York-bred emcee reflected on that personal loss during a new interview with Ebro Darden for Apple Music’s The Message. The conversation centered around the celebration of World Mental Health Day on October 10.
“I’ve lost a daughter to suicide. And thinking about mental health, I probably look at it different from most people,” said Styles P. “She didn’t have signs, didn’t see it, didn’t know, she never had no attempts, no anything. Most people don’t know how other people feel.”
He continued, “Really, at the end of the day, even mental health specialists, even the experts, a lot of people don’t go around asking people how they feel or expressing how they feel. And with understanding that, like you said, I’m pretty sure most mental health experts have to go through some sort of specific training or class to keep their mind state intact.”
Styles P also spoke about how someone’s mental health can be affected by comparing life situations with other people. His comments echo the ideas connected to Social Comparison Theory.
“I think the average individual doesn’t look at their own life, what they’re going through and measure it on their own scale without comparing it to someone else and how they feel and what’s going on and what they should do, what they should not do, and what makes them tick. A lot of us aren’t in touch with ourselves to even be mentally healthy,” offers Styles P.
While Ashanti maintained a dignified silence while Irv Gotti spent months earlier this year discussing intimate details of an alleged affair two decades ago, the songstress has finally addressed all the gossip in a new song.
Ashanti linked with Diddy on the remix of his single, the appropriately titled, “Gotta Move On,” which also features Diddy, Bryson Tiller, and Yung Miami. The Bad Boy Records Boss explained why he wanted Ashanti on the track during a recent interview with The Breakfast Club.
“I just felt Ashanti – because I think music and art give you a chance to speak your mind when it comes to the love territory,” Diddy said. “After I saw Irv do his thing, I thought, ‘you know, sis may want to express herself on this song.’”
While Ashanti doesn’t mention the Murder Inc. founder by name, she refers to somebody “obsessed’ over a 20-year-old situation.
“It’s giving obsessed / It’s giving you stressed /It’s giving you pressed / It’s giving this n#### missing the best,” Ashanti sings in a clip that surfaced online. “But it’s been 20 years please cry less / We can see you and your tears / The pain in your chest / But I got a new man / Yeah, you gotta move on.” Listen to the snippet below.
Irv Gotti Vows To Stop Talking About Ashanti
Meanwhile, Irv Gotti claimed he was “slandered for telling y’all the absolute truth,” about the alleged affair. He claimed he would stop talking about the “Rock Wit U” singer. However, he said he only discusses Ashanti because the media questions him about her.
“Cause that’s why. You askin’ me. Did I bring Ashanti up? You did it. Here’s what I’m going to say. I wish Ashanti nothing but the best. I’m not hooked on her, like ‘I can’t get over her.’ It’s none of that s###.”
Xzibit applauded President Biden’s recent pardons for weed possession inmates, calling the move “a step in the right direction.”
The Cannabis entrepreneur spoke to TMZ about President Biden’s planned reforms, particularly freeing all those incarcerated on federal weed possession charges. He called out the hypocrisy of having prisoners behind bars for cannabis offenses while corporations amass huge profits in the legal cannabis industry.
“You know this is something that’s crazy because we see the industry that’s being built now where people are building billion-dollar businesses, and there’s still people sitting in jail for doing the exact same thing,” Xzibit explained. “I think that this was a great announcement, shout out the DOJ to say they’re going to be expeditiously releasing these people and really showing some support for the president’s announcement. So actions being put behind the words means a lot.”
Xzibit said while it’s “positive” that the new ruling covers about 6,000 inmates, more needs to be done.
“Even though this is a step in the right direction, it’s still not the majority or the mass exodus that needs to happen, the mass clemency for the people that need to be released from federal and state prison,” Xzibit said. Check out the interview below.
Xzibit Announces His Final Album ‘Kingmaker’
Elsewhere during the conversation, Xzibit announced he’s working on what he believes will be his final album.
“I have an album called Kingmaker that I’m putting the finishing touches on now,” Xzibit revealed. “I’ve been working on it for a minute. I feel like this is gonna be my last album. Not that I’m gonna retire or make any weird statements like that.”
He confirmed the project, his first since 2012’s Napalm, will arrive early next year, and he will still be touring.
“I will never lose love for Hip Hop,” Xzibit said, but added, “time is the most important thing that we have.”
“I’ve given a lot of time to the planet as Xzibit and my priorities are changing on the daily. So I will always be there for my fanbase and they’ve always been there for me, but I wanna be present for the people that I love.”
“Charleston White, you is a b####, boy!” King Harris said. “Man, we are about to whoop your ass when you come back here. I can see you had a soft upbringing.”
T.I. Responds To Charleston White
His most recent remarks caught T.I.’s attention, who challenged the Texas native to speak to him, not his son. “Come speak to the daddy,” he said before adding, “if you don’t want no trouble, what you kicking up dust for?”
He continued, “I ain’t on no gangsta s###. I’m a father, I’m a businessman, and I’m a leader. So ultimately, if you have something to say about me and mine, come to me. Whatever you have to say about me, come to me,” T.I. said. “Keep my muthafucking children’s names out your muthafucking mouth before something bad happens.”
T.I said he wasn’t threatening Charleston White but suggested he stop playing with people’s kids. “People will die about their children, and people are willing to go to prison about their children. Stop. That’s a suggestion. Please stop.” Check out his comments in the clip below.
Meanwhile, Zonnique Pullins also came to King’s defense, asking folks to take it easy on her little brother.
“When I was 18 I said dumb s### and had a TON of growing to do.. y’all really could just ignore my brother but I’m guessing y’all want him to act like an upperclassmen cause y’all think he grew up in the house y’all watched on tv every Tuesday,” she tweeted.
“Everyone loves to bring up the gated house like we not talking about T.I. and Tiny’s kids at the end of the day.. what do y’all really expect…it’s literally 7 of us,” she added. “It would be boring if we didn’t have a wild card.”
Finally, she implored, “Give my baby some time to grow into the king he’s destined to be and until then send the kid some positive encouraging words.”
Elon Musk said he has spoken to Kanye West about the antisemitic tweet that got him locked out of his account a day after making a return to the platform.
“Talked to ye today & expressed my concerns about his recent tweet, which I think he took to heart,” the Tesla CEO shared on Monday evening (Oct. 11).
He was replying to an earlier tweet greeting Ye with a warm welcome on his return to Twitter after a two-year absence.
Talked to ye today & expressed my concerns about his recent tweet, which I think he took to heart
Ye’s Twitter comeback was prompted by ban from Instagram, his preferred social media platform, also over antisemitic posts. The rapper turned designer shared a series of screenshots of text conversations with Diddy. The pair were arguing over Ye’s controversial “White Lives Matter” shirts.
He picked up his suspension from Twitter after threatening to go “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE,” while adding he “can’t be anti-Semitic because Black people are actually Jew.” He continued, “you guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.” Twitter removed the post and restricted Kanye’s account.
Many of Ye’s former collaborators and friends have been critical of his recent comments. While John Legend did not mention Kanye West directly, his statement was clear.
“Weird how all these “free, independent thinkers” always land at the same old anti blackness and anti semitism,” he penned.
Weird how all these “free, independent thinkers” always land at the same old anti blackness and anti semitism.
Meanwhile DONDA producer Mike Dean also weighed in on Ye’s antics. He tweeted: “Posting DM and texts from folks is the single most thirsty think a person can do.” He later clarified he was “not just talking about ye.”

Some of you must have forgotten who Willie Dee is. If you need a refresher, here we go. Willie Dee is a lot of things, but he is most notably the lead rapper in The Geto Boys. He has always been outspoken as a rapper and never has he been one to bite his tongue. He has talked about everybody from presidents to Rodney King and more. He often ghost wrote too. That said: he does not like Kanye West or his feverish fans, who he says tried to bully him into silence.
That ain’t gotta work for a man that has an album talking about “going out like a solider.” Check out what Willie Dee had to say.
I did not know that Kanye West said sorry to Jewish people. Now, was he saying this to Hebrew Jews or the Orthodox Jews.
On MoneySign Suede’s newest visual for “Millions,” he spits, “You ain’t from where you from, this the gutter. I’m tryna get rich before I die, for my mother. Aye, I’m sliding with the robbers and the gunners. Free my n*gga Polo, let him out I miss my brother.”
The track hails from MoneySign Suede’s most recent project titled Parkside Baby, named after his hometown of Huntington Park, Los Angeles. Clocking in at 15 tracks, the project sees the Los Angeles native in his most vulnerable state, as he spits his truth and wears his heart on his sleeve with each record.
In describing himself, MoneySign Suede states he’s a “young rapper from LA, young Mexican. One of the first Mexicans to do this s### for real, the way I’m trying to do it. Mainstream, I really want to get up there. Parkside baby, the chosen one. I want to be big. I want to make history, I want to be legendary. I want to be on some other s###, I’m not a typical rapper.”
And while it’s only been 6 years since the 22-year-old started rapping, music has proven to be his saving grace from the streets. To date, he already has standout collaborations with Ty Dolla $ign, Remble, Fenix Flexin, and more.
AllHipHop caught up with Moneysign Suede in downtown Los Angeles. Read below as we discuss his roots in Los Angeles, Madeintyo’s influence, how he got his name, the new project, love for pizza, goals, and more!

That’s love.” We ended up locking in, he’s cool as f###. I’m cool with his brother too, 24Hrs.
MoneySign Suede: It’s because I used to tag. I got my name from tagging. I remember all the homies started tagging, everybody had a tagging name already. I didn’t have no tagging name. I remember before Suede, we tried a couple of different names. I remember Slim was going to be my name. I’m like nah, that’s not it.
We’re trying to find a name. I looked at my Puma suede the shoes, and I see suede on the side. Since then, I started tagging Suede and it just looked right. I stuck with it. I started rapping and stayed with the name. Got it from tagging though.

50 Cent’s son Marquise Jackson trolled critics after complaining about his dad’s child support payments.
Marquise Jackson claimed that 50 Cent paying $6,700 per month wasn’t enough in an Instagram Live conversation with Choke No Joke. The G-Unit rapper’s son mocked the backlash he faced by offering to pay $6,700 to spend time with his father on Monday (October 10).
“Since y’all think $6,700 is sooo much money someone tell my pops I will pay him $6,700 for just 24hr of his time so we can do everything I ever wanted to do with him as a kid,” Marquise Jackson wrote. “Red Yellow Green whatever color he like.”
The post featured a photo of Marquise Jackson sitting on the floor with “entitled” spelled out in cash. He seemingly embraced his reputation after downplaying the thousands of dollars he received from 50 Cent.
“$6,700 a month in the state of New York, you do the math,” Marquise Jackson told Choke No Joke. “You’re talking about a Forbes lister. You’re talking about someone that has problems with everybody. You can’t just live in any neighborhood. $81,000 is not a substantial amount of money. You can’t just live anywhere.”

Emily B’s daughter Taina Williams chastised Fabolous for celebrating his daughter Journey’s birthday via social media on Monday (October 10).
Fabolous shares Journey with Emily B, who dated the 44-year-old rapper off and on for years. Taina Williams, Emily B’s daughter from a previous relationship, took issue with an Instagram post regarding her stepsister.
“I named you Journey because that’s really what it’s been,” Fabolous wrote. “Might not know when you going thru it, but you’ll get it at the end. I don’t believe you can have faith unless you trust the JOURNEY. You have taught me that so I look at you with understanding & love. Your life assures it will all add up… 10 • 10 • 2020. Happy Bday Journey Jackson @journeyisabella_.”
Taina Williams claimed Fabolous has been an absent father to Journey for nearly a year. She accused him of trying to make himself look good online.
“This post is hilarious,” she wrote. “’Might not know when you going thru it, but you’ll get it at the end’ Is Translation for = I haven’t taken care of my daughter in almost a year & don’t even ask about her well being because IDC & I’m bitter & I’m only a father to my two beautiful sons who I can manipulate. Stop playing with the internet.”

Queen Latifah insists on a “no death clause” when signing up for new projects to ensure her character doesn’t die onscreen.
The actress has carved out a stellar career in Hollywood since rising to fame as a rapper in the late 1980s.
But during a recent appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” Latifah revealed that she has a “no death clause” added to her contracts to ensure she isn’t killed off in a film or TV show, as she often was in early performances.
“You know, what happened at the beginning of my career…my characters died in the movies, and apparently I died my aas off,” she joked. “I was like, ‘Wait a minute, if I keep dying in these movies, I can’t do a sequel.'”
After getting fed up with being viewed as expendable, she then advised her team, “Yo, we got to put a no-death clause in my contracts. Henceforth, we kind of threw it in there.”
She continued: “I was like, ‘No more dying. No more getting shot up by 300 bullets in this car.'”
However, Latifah noted that she isn’t as strict regarding showing her body onscreen and hasn’t followed other stars in pursuing “no nudity” clauses in contracts.
“I was like no, you can show my butt if you need to. Here’s my butt, and it’s live,” the Chicago star smiled.
Latifah, real name Dana Elaine Owens, has most recently been promoting her new Netflix movie, “End of the Road.”
The internet has unlocked several opportunities for aspiring music artists to showcase their talent on a global scene. Whether on social media or through a digital streaming platform, fresh talents can find their audience without relying on any label or producer. Artist-Influencer Jtti’s rise to fame is one such example. The music artist is still in his teens but is already taking to the spotlight in the music industry in New York. After a spree of hit singles, Jtti has launched his record label, “Collective,” in partnership with his brother Jack Troia, an entrepreneur and producer.
Jtti discovered his passion for music when he was only 7. However, his life has always been an uneven road with no parental guidance since childhood. Jtti grew up without his biological father and often relocated to different places across NY, imbibing the diverse musical culture. Since 13, Jtti has been fluent in various coding languages like HTML, C#, and C++, but there was always an undying passion for music, as he wanted to make a living out of it.
Growing up in a low-income family, Jtti had no resources to support his career; flowing from this, he adopted the street culture and was arrested a few times until he learned to understand right from wrong. Although he was highly inspired by rap and hip-hop culture, unarguably, starting requires more strength than we often give credit for; sadly, this was not Jtti’s strong suit. When his family got into severe debt, Jtti realized the need of the hour and wanted to pivot his life positively. He tried meditation to discover the power of his mind and attract positive energy through positive thinking.
Things began to work in his favor as Jtti developed a positive attitude toward life. At 15, he gained recognition as a promising artist in the music industry and has since released several hits on the internet. He realized that anything was possible and only a matter of one’s belief and the law of attraction. Jtti has achieved over a million streams across all digital platforms combined, and the numbers keep climbing. He has been featured on multiple billboards at Time Square, NYC. Popular artists like Jadakiss, Ron Suno, etc., have appreciated his incredible work in the music scene.
Now, through his record label, “Collective,” Jtti wants to enlighten and inspire people worldwide. His brother Jack Troia is an entrepreneur and producer who share a similar vision with Jtti regarding the foundation of “Collective.” For Jtti, “Collective” is not just a music record label but a movement to unite the world and spread positivity. In addition, Jtti wants to bring more talent to the music industry through his label.
Jtti is on a mission to positively impact the lives of 100 million people globally with music. His label “Collective” is the means to accomplish this feat. Jtti is looking forward to collaborating with music icons like J. Cole, Lil Baby, Lil Tjay, Bryson Tiller, and many more, but with “Collective” as the prime focus of his career. He wants to motivate fresh talents to secure the place of unique and refined music even in the coming years.

“If it’s funny, laugh, if it makes you cry, cry,” the 52-year-old laughed.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Sarah Silverman have slammed Kanye West for making antisemitic comments.
On Saturday, the Donda rapper made bizarre claims via Twitter of a conspiracy against him after his Instagram account was restricted over other offensive remarks.
Kanye also tweeted that he was going to go “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE”, referencing the heightened alert status used by members of the U.S. military.
He added: “The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”
His justification for his comments echoes the theories of the extremist Black Hebrew Israelite group, who claim Black people are descendants of the Ancient tribe of Israel.
Accordingly, stars with Jewish heritage reacted to Kanye’s words, with Curtis posting a screenshot of the offending tweet and writing: “The holiest day in Judaism was last week. Words matter. A threat to Jewish people ended once in a genocide. Your words hurt and incite violence. You are a father. Please stop.”
Silverman also condemned others for remaining silent on the matter.
“Kanye threatened the Jews yesterday on Twitter and it’s not even trending,” she wrote on Sunday. “Why do mostly only Jews speak up against Jewish hate? The silence is so loud.”
Elsewhere, the “Jesus Walks” musician was condemned by leaders of the Anti-Defamation League, Black-Jewish Entertainment, and the Creative Community for Peace, who accused him of sharing the most “vile and age-old stereotypes” about Jews with millions of followers.
Other famous figures criticizing the 45-year-old included comedian Michael Rapaport, Rob Reiner, Jack Antonoff, John Legend, and Congresswoman AOC.
“There is absolutely no room in this country or world for antisemitism. It is important to see how harmful + dangerous Kanye’s words are – not only to our Jewish brothers, sisters, & siblings, but also to our collective society at large,” AOC said.

Last week, Kanye also endured backlash over comments he made about fellow hip-hop star Lizzo’s weight, and his use of the controversial term “White Lives Matter,” seen by many as a racist attempt to undermine the Black Lives Matter movement.
Weird how all these “free, independent thinkers” always land at the same old anti blackness and anti semitism.
Lizzo seemingly responds to Kanye West’s comments about her weight
Lizzo appeared to respond to Kanye West’s comments about her weight during a concert over the weekend.
As part of a gig in Toronto, Canada on Friday, the “About Damn Time” singer addressed how her name had been mentioned in interviews with other artists.
“I feel like everybody in America got my m############ name in their m############ mouth for no m############ reason,” the 34-year-old told the crowd at the Scotiabank Arena.
“I’m minding my fat Black beautiful business,” she added before asking the audience: “Can I stay here? Who can I marry for that dual citizenship?”
The star’s comments came a day after Kanye’s interview with Tucker Carlson, during which he used Lizzo as an example to claim that the media was promoting obesity as a “demonic” plot to perpetuate the “genocide of the Black race.”
“When Lizzo loses 10 pounds and announces it, the bots… on Instagram, they attack her losing weight because the media wants to put out a perception that being overweight is the new goal when it’s actually unhealthy,” he commented.
In late August, Lizzo also appeared to address comedian Aries Spears referencing her weight in an unrelated interview.
“And now, to the b###### that got something to say about me in the press…” she said while accepting the Video for Good Award at the 2022 MTV VMAs, “You know what, I’m not gonna say nothing.”
Mike Dean is the latest longtime Kanye West collaborator to comment on his social media antics and the producer is not a fan of Ye leaking private conversations.
“Posting DM and texts from folks is the single most thirsty think a person can do,” Mike Dean tweeted on Sunday evening (Oct. 9).

When a fan responded, “Diddy low key threatening ye with every text he sends. You’re taking an L on this post Mike,” the DONDA producer acknowledged that while he was talking about Kanye West, Ye isn’t the only offender.
“I’m not just talking about ye,” he clarified. “A lot of screenshot posts of private convos.”

The rapper-turned-designer was suspended from Instagram this weekend after sharing a series of text messages between himself and Diddy, who attempted to arrange a meeting with Ye over his controversial “White Lives Matter” T-shirt.
Last week, Diddy posted a video advising fans not to buy or wear the YZY “White Lives Matter” shirts. While acknowledging Kanye West is a “free thinker”, he declared the “Black Lives Matter” movement is not to be played with.
He followed up with an Instagram post on Sunday. Diddy shared an image of himself with his fist raised symbolically in the air.
“On this Sunday, I hope we as a people stop all the Coonin’ and baffoonin! We don’t have the time!” he penned in the caption. “We are under a state of emergency!!! Unapologetically black first! Because they unapologetically think about us last. But remember, I told you the last shall be first and the first shall be last!!! Take that! ✊🏿“
Blueface and Chrisean Rock will give fans an even deeper look into the ups and downs of their relationship with a new reality show.
On Sunday evening (Oct. 9), Zeus Network dropped the trailer for “Crazy in Love,” a nod to Beyoncé’s 2003 hit. While they gave no date for the launch, they promised the series is coming soon.
“It’s A love only they can explain!!” the caption read, adding Blueface and Chrisean “are taking us on their crazy journey to LOVE!! 💙🎥🍿”
Zeus pinned Chill Thompson’s comment revealing, “Y’all will see a whole different side to Blue and Rock’s relationship. The good, the bad, and the ugly. A lot of twists and turns and a few surprises along the way. You won’t be disappointed.”
Earlier this month, Chrisean announced she and Blueface had split up following a hotel room fight. “Y’all can have him. ChriseanRock is single,” she tweeted. “Chrisean you are enough 🗣🚶🏽♀️”
Y’all can have him . ChriseanRock is single. Chrisean you are enough 🗣🚶🏽♀️
The reality TV starlet revealed she smashed up the hotel room and had to flee to avoid getting arrested again. She stole her rapper boyfriend’s phone and hopped on Instagram Live to explain what happened.
Despite the “single,” tweets, just hours later Chrisean Rock shared a raunchy bedroom video on her Instagram Stories featuring her and Blueface getting busy in the bedroom.
