By: London JennnCategory: News

50 Cent is currently on a European tour, and during his latest stop in Greece, he brought out Mary J. Blige to perform some hits. 

The pair put on an amorous display, as caught by Gillie Da Kid in a series of clips shared on Instagram. “Look who I got with me tonight,” 50 Cent said, introducing “the legendary Mary. J Blige,” as she sang along to her 1994 classic “I’m going down.” 

“Man we had so much fun last night i got @gilliedaking lit 🔥😆,” 50 Cent penned in the caption. “Stay away from unhappy unsuccessful people they bring negative energy. stay positive, stay productive. GLG🚦GreenLightGang

50 Cent Receives His Flowers From Mary J. Blige

In another video, Mary J showed loved to 50 Cent, thanking him for his influence on her acting career. 

“This is my boss on the show ‘Power’,” Mary J. began. “If it wasn’t for him, a lot of s### wouldn’t have happened. And I just wanna say, I love you so much, 50. For your generosity and your wisdom.” 

50 Cent then returned the flowers, telling Mary, “I love you back,” before adding, “you mean so much to me.” 

It appears both Mary J. Blige and 50 Cent were a little tipsy as Fiddy’s words came out a little shaky as they hugged on each other while sharing their praises. Watch the footage below.  

Meanwhile, earlier this year, during an interview with AllHipHop.com, Mary J. Blige discussed her role as drug cartel queenpin Monet Stewart Tejada in 50’s Power Book II: Ghost.  

She noted that it’s “amazing” and “a blessing” to be respected now as an actor. “All pure blessings. It’s all God. It’s all, ‘How did this happen?’” She questioned, adding, “Because it didn’t have to be this way.”  

Mary continued, “And it’s a lot of hard work. And it’s a lot of being grateful, being grateful more than anything.” Check it out here.  

Doja Cat Blasts Fans Objectifying Her: “You Live In Your Mother’s Basement” 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Doja Cat recently surprised her fans when she shaved her eyebrows off during an Instagram Live chat shortly after she had debuted her new bald-headed look.  

Although the Planet Her hitmaker attempted to reassure concerned fans, telling them, “I’m doing dandy,” some remained worried for her and thought Doja Cat might have suffered a mental breakdown. 

Doja Cat also clarified that she never liked having hair “since the beginning of my life,” and struggled with the wigs she often wears. “I just can’t believe it took me this long to be like ‘shave your f###### head’,” she explained. “I don’t wear my hair out, I had like two eras where my hair would be out. It’s just a f###### nightmare dude, I’m over it. What is the use of having hair if you’re not gonna wear it out?” she concluded. 

Doja Cat Claps Back  

However, according to a scathing tweet Doja Cat penned on Sunday evening (Aug. 14), she feels objectified by fans who would prefer her to look a certain way. 

“I won a grammy and traveled the f###### globe i’ve had a #1 and i went platinum,” Doja Cat wrote. “I make hit after hit after hit and you all want me to look fuckable for you so that you can go home and jerk your c#### all day long while you live in your mothers basement. Go f### yourselves.” 

When a fan accused Doja Cat of being “ungrateful,” and told her to “Just leave Social Media n go focus on music gurl,” the “Get Into It” rapper clapped back. 

“You’re so miserable that you have to label yourself as a “we”,” Doja Cat responded. “You aren’t part of any collective. You’re just another a###### that doesn’t know how to read a room.” 

Nonetheless, she could be walking on thin ice with Twitter. Last month, as reported by AllHipHop.com, Doja was banned from replying to tweets after going on a rant against trolls.

Nipsey’s Brother Reportedly Made The Game Remove Vocals Due To Wack100

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

The rapper Nipsey The Great is still ringing bells in 2022! I still cannot believe cuz is no longer with us! We love you, bro! And his brother Blacc Sam is going to do whatever it takes to protect his brother’s legacy. Now, if you are Wack100, you want Blacc Sam to go along because The Game showed Nip a lot of love in life and death.

Nipsey Hussle Honored With Posthumous Star On Hollywood Walk Of Fame

BUT…things do not go how we want them to go. We, the fans, are caught in the middle. The things that Wack100 has said in the past are coming back to haunt The Game. DRILLMATIC has shaken up the world and given us all a little bit of something to talk about. We were all looking to hear Nipsey Hussle “World Tours.” Sadly, that did not happen.

Nipsey’s brother Blacc Sam reportedly nixed the collab, because of Wack100’s past of saying too much about Neighborhood Nip in the past. Bro, Sam pulled that verse in under 2 hours before the album dropped last Friday. “I got an email from my attorney, at about 7:30, an hour and a half before it dropped. Nipsey’s brother put in a demand for it to be pulled,” Wack revealed Clubhouse. He said Sam was selfish with how he was moving with his brother.

“These n***as be in their feelings. You notice you got Meek Mill and a bunch of people over there Wack really don’t see eye to eye with… Whoever [The Game] work with, he work with. His s### ain’t my s###. The Game done drove around L.A., he’s been the biggest Nipsey supporter ever,” he continued.

I think you are who you run with and The Game may be collateral damage.

Check out the whole thing below. Nevertheless, I would love to hear more Nipsey. Period.

Madonna Has Worn Diamond Grillz For Decades To Hide “Ugly” Teeth

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Pop News

Madonna has diamond-encrusted grills made to conceal her “ugly” teeth.

During an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” the superstar asked host Jimmy if she was lisping because she was wearing her new dental jewelry.

“I designed them – they are my birthday grillz. It’s almost my birthday, so I got myself a pair of grillz” she shared.

Jimmy went on to ask how long Madonna has worn grillz.

“Decades,” the 63-year-old replied. “People have a problem with my grillz, I don’t know why? I just like the way it looks – mouth jewelry. And I have really ugly teeth.”

Without adjusting his tone, the TV host stated, “You do.”

“Don’t agree with me!” she exclaimed, while Jimmy tried to backtrack quickly as Madonna playfully slapped him on the wrist.

The “Like a Prayer” hitmaker was on the talk show to promote her new compilation album, Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones, which will be released on August 19th.

Tiffany Haddish Asked Usher For Permission To Make Herpes Jokes

Tiffany Haddish asked Usher for permission to make herpes joke

Tiffany Haddish got permission to make herpes jokes about Usher.

While speaking to Cosmopolitan for an interview, the comedian claimed she asks for permission to make jokes at the expense of celebrities.

“I never thought you could just say horrible things about somebody and think they’re not going to slap the s### out of you, and I think that’s because I grew up in foster care,” Tiffany told the publication. “I check and verify with people. If I can’t say it to your face, I shouldn’t be able to say it. Period. That’s how I draw the line.”

This rule applied to Tiffany’s joke about Usher having herpes.

She explained in the interview, “I got this joke, ‘I curse you out with joy. I hope that you spread it. I hope you spread it like Usher spreads herpes.’ I have said that in front of Usher.”

Tiffany recalled the interaction in which she asked for Usher’s permission to use the joke, saying, “Usher said, ‘Your ass is crazy.’ I said, ‘Yeah, well, there’s a rumor out there saying you got herpes. I don’t know if you do or don’t, but that s**t is funny.’ He’s like, ‘Yeah, it is.'”

On what she’d do if the musician responded differently, the Girls Trip star asserted, “If he had said, ‘Tiff, don’t say that no more. I don’t like it. I’m not comfortable with you saying that,’ I would stop saying it.”

Back in 2017, multiple individuals sued the singer alleging that he exposed them to the herpes virus without their knowledge or consent. Usher’s legal team denied the allegations.

Are Right-Wing Extremist Planning Civil War Due To Trump Raid?

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

The United States are not very united these days. And it certainly does not appear that there will be unity anytime soon. When you think of Civil War, we tend to think about that thing that happened years ago with the South and the North. But, now it seems like a potential Civil War is going on, but this one is different.

First of all, there aren’t two militias fighting in the streets. Also, the beefs are not only regional. So, for example, the Trump supporters are down bottom, up top and all over. So, for the time being, we have a mostly bloodless war. Now, there are some acts that would challenge that, such as murderous acts like Ahmaud Arbery and or Breonna Taylor, because it seems like the KKK has infiltrated the traditional systems.

Now, it seems like the Right side of things is looking for that blood to start spilling. A dude on Twitter started tracking all these people that seem to be hoping for a war with the government. This does not even sound like they want to just war with Black people. They seem to be stockpiling tons of guns for the Feds and to “defend the Constitution” as one dude said. They are also looking like they want to face off with the Army or something. Oh, did I mention they are on TikTok? Sounds counter-Revolutionary to be using a China-based company to sound off

Also, there are reports of armed militias outside of the FBI’s office in Phoenix, AZ. All of this fire over the Trump/Mar-A-Lago raid. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…..

I remember when the NFAC pulled up on the scene, but they weren’t pulling up to Fed Buildings. I wonder how soon it will take for them to take down these domestic terrorists now that they have showing themselves. By the way, they want all the smoke. The IRS can get it too (look at the lady below).

This is all over the internet. Why do they think talking to their phones is cool?

Keke Palmer Demands Dermatologists Find A Cure For Adult Acne

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Keke Palmer has candidly discussed her struggles with adult acne.

The “Nope” actress took to Instagram to open up about her skin and begged plastic surgeons to come up with a solution to the common problem.

“I was just thinking about the fact that plastic surgeons are amazing, OK? They can give you a boob job, above the muscle, under the muscle, liposuction, tummy tuck, BBL, they can even implant muscles, I mean, the list goes on,” she sighed. “But they cannot figure out how to clear up somebody’s skin? All these years and all these inventions, you can’t figure out how to take the beautiful skin from my a*s and put it on my face? I’m tired of it. I’m done with it. People out here with adult acne are struggling, and you haven’t figured out that cure? I’m done.”

In the accompanying caption, Keke joked that she would put her “house on the market” to pay the fee if a doctor could come up with a solution to clear her acne.

“Enough with all the hard work of having to find the PERFECT diet and trying to get an expensive facial every other day. Give us the plastic surgery we’re begging for, and make it possible for black skin as well… I need the dual love,” the 28-year-old added.

Back in December 2020, Keke shared that she had been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Symptoms can vary between women, but the most common include irregular periods, excessive hair growth, thinning hair, and oily skin or acne.

Halle Bailey Denies She Is Starring A New “X-Men” Movie

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Halle Bailey used Twitter to shut down rumors she’s been cast in an upcoming “X-Men” film.

The “Grown-ish” star responded to a tweet saying she had been hired to play Kitty Pryde, also known as Shadowcat, in a new “X-Men” movie.

A Twitter user claimed that Variety had reported the casting announcement, linking to an article by the outlet, though the piece did not mention any casting decisions.

“this is not true,” the 22-year-old star clapped back.

One commenter on the casting tweet asked, “Why lie? Why get the racist fan boys all riled up?”

Later, Halle shared her Variety cover story, in which she opened up about the racist comments she received for being cast as Ariel in the upcoming “Little Mermaid” remake.

Internet trolls reacted to Halle’s casting announcement with the hashtag NotMyAriel.

“What that would have done for me, how that would have changed my confidence, my belief in myself, everything… Things that seem so small to everyone else, it’s so big to us,” she said of how she would have felt if the original Ariel was a person of color.

Disney’s live-action “The Little Mermaid” remake hits cinemas in May 2023.

Britney Spears Claims Her Sons Acted Hateful During Visit As Family Drama intensified

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Pop News

Britney Spears has accused her teenage sons of acting “hateful” during visits to her home.

In an interview for DailyMail.com, the popstar’s ex-husband Kevin Federline revealed that Britney had not seen their two boys – Sean, 16, and Jayden, 15, – for a “few months.”

He also shared that the teens decided not to attend the singer’s wedding to Sam Asghari back in June.

Taking to Instagram to post a lengthy note, the “Toxic” hitmaker explained that she had experienced tension with her sons during previous visits to her property.

“I know that teenagers are just hard to deal with at that age… but COME ON. There’s being rude then there’s being HATEFUL. They would visit me, walk in the door, go straight to their room and lock the door !!!” she wrote. “The MONITOR would tell me that he just likes to be in his room. I’m like why come visit me if they don’t even visit me !!!.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg8lvfTOeYU/?hl=en

Britney went on to claim that she hadn’t pushed the issue as she didn’t want to appear “argumentative,” particularly in the wake of her conservatorship ending last November.

She also noted that Sean and Jayden used to see her twice weekly but recently requested to see her “less.”

“I haven’t seen them since !!! … It’s been kinda nice not having to ask about which day the boys are coming this week and making me wait 2 or 3 days for a reply !!!” the 40-year-old continued. “I don’t know what’s going on in their heads !!!… I always TRIED and TRIED, and maybe that’s why they stopped coming here!!! I wanted them to love me so much that I might have overdone it !!! I can’t process how I dedicated 20 years of my life to those kids… everything was about them!!! For them to knock the breath out of me…”

Britney and Kevin, 44, were married from 2004 until their divorce was finalized in 2007.

Snoop Dogg Drops His Own Cereal Called ‘Snoop Loopz’

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Master P is not the only rapper in the food industry, making products that everyone can place in their cupboards, pantries, and kitchen tables. One West Coast pioneer, who used to be signed to his No Limit Records label, is venturing into this space through a joint-venture with his mentor where he is launching a breakfast cereal to rival your favorite Kelloggs or General Mills staple.

Snoop Dogg has debuted his newest venture, Broadus Foods. The first offering is Snoop Loopz, a sweet treat that looks like Froot Loops with marshmallows. The box has a cute blue dog (duh) holding a spoon.

Master P took to Twitter to make the announcement. He wrote, “MORE Corn, MORE Flavor & MORE Marshmallows that’s what separates us from the Rest. If you like Fruit Loops then you will LOVE SnoopLoopz!! http://SNOOPLOOPZ.COM”

Snoop reposted on Instagram with this caption, “Broadus Foods introduces the best tasting cereal in the game Snoop loopz. @snoopdogg we’re taking over the grocery stores. Snooploopz.com – The more we make the more we give. #GODisgood #familybusiness Berry delicious Fo Shizzle!”

AllHipHop.com reported that Snoop believes his former “Martha and Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party” co-host has opened up this world to him, making success with a different market accessible, despite their backgrounds being so distant.

He said, “Me and her together, it’s always beautiful, we always enjoy each other’s company. It just shows the world that love is love!

“If you get a chance to sit around somebody, talk to them, understand them, you can become friends with them no matter what color they are, where they come from, how old they are, race, background, religion,” the “Gin and Juice” artist continued.

“And that’s what we doing, we break all the stereotypes when we’re together,” he stated. “We make the world feel like it’s OK.”

 They work so well together, the two have decided to put a product on the market. Snoop just laced Martha with her own brand of 49 Crimes win.

Megan Thee Stallion Could Not Stop Crying As She Wrote “Traumazine” Album

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Megan Thee Stallion cried writing songs for her new album Traumazine because they are so personal.

The “Hot Girl Summer” rapper explained in an interview on SiriusXM that she has never expressed her real feelings in her music before, and writing the lyrics for some of the songs on Traumazine made her emotional.

“I was crying more so writing the songs than recording the songs. It kind of felt like a weight off my chest a little bit, actually saying some of these things out loud,” she shared. “But yeah, it felt good to say it out loud and I feel like it feels good to have people understand where I’m coming from.

“So many people got something to say about me that don’t even know me, but I’m like, ‘Okay, well how about this? Let me put a little bit of my feelings in my music.’ And then, you know, you can see where I’m coming from.”

The 27-year-old explained that she often writes songs about how she wants to feel rather than how she actually feels. However, this time around, Megan decided it was time to address how she’s been doing since her mum, Holly Thomas, passed away in March 2019.

“I kind of wanted to talk about everything that’s been happening to me since like 2019. Like since my mom passed. And I feel like I just kinda worked through it. Like I never really dealt with it and I’m not saying I’m still in a good place about it. I’m not saying I’ve worked through it at all. I just feel like now I’m coming to a place where it’s all hitting me,” she revealed. “But now I’m kind of feeling like, dang, I have to deal with this. I can’t keep not talking about it. I can’t keep running from it. I gotta deal with this.”

Traumazine, her second studio album, was released on Friday.

Normani Denies Being Lazy And Unmotivated To Make Music

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Normani shuts down accusations she lost ‘motivation’ to keep making music

Normani has fiercely responded to claims that she lost the “motivation” to keep making music.

In a Twitter post, the “Fair” singer replied to fans who questioned her work ethic.

The original user’s tweet, which has since been listed as private, read,

“No idea where Normani’s motivation (no pun intended) has gone but I just don’t see the same passion from her as I used to,” referencing the artist’s debut 2019 hit “Motivation.”

It continued, “Before y’all start, it’s not depression so don’t even go THERE!”

Another user replied to the tweet, “What happens when you’ve gotten comfortable and you’re not HUNGRY anymore.”

Quote-tweeting the reply, Normani simply wrote, “Just shut the f##k up.”

Hours later, the Fifth Harmony singer responded to another user, who reacted to the first interaction by writing, “It’s so interesting that people that have no clue what it’s like to be in the music industry & the complexities that can come with that, but will dish out unwanted & rude opinions all the time smh.”

The 26-year-old quoted the user’s tweet, writing atop it, “on top of real life s### going on in my personal life.”

After releasing “Motivation” in 2019, Normani dropped single “Wild Side” featuring Cardi B in 2021 and “Fair” in March this year. She also featured on Megan Thee Stallion’s “Diamonds” and Calvin Harris’ “New to You.”

The musician is yet to set a release date for her debut album, though she asserted on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in December that she was “almost done” with it.

Nicolas Nuvan Is One of TikTok’s Top Music Curators

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Music News

Nicolas Nuvan Social Media Links 

Nicolas’ First Video

Nicolas’ Video with Wanda Webster

Last week on TikTok, a video caught traction featuring a TikTok curator, Nicolas Nuvan, and a random passerby he selected to interview on the street in New Orleans. At first glance, it seems relatively ordinary. Once this older woman replied that her favorite song to listen to is “Butterfly Effect” by Travis Scott, it seemed a little odd. Nicolas had some more questions for her, which she nonchalantly shrugged off. 

Nicolas Nuvan posted the video, just like any other of the over 760 he has already. Except for this time, Nicolas received a comment from one of his followers that informed him who the mystery woman from the New Orleans video was: Wanda Webster, the mother of Travis Scott.

It made a lot more sense as to why “Butterfly Effect” was her favorite song after that comment.  It also made it clear just how much of a winner this video format is. It’s founded upon Nicolas’ genuine interest in people and love for music. It seems like a no-brainer to expect Nicolas to keep up the current momentum he has. In the past month alone, he’s posted close to 200 videos. 

In this new age of technology and music, a simple fan-made video could be the difference between a record-breaking or not. Nicolas has proven to be a valuable resource for the artists who are put on by his interview subjects, and the best part is it’s an indirect aid. He’s somewhat functioning as a mirror in the world of music and TikTok, showing the world what’s being listened to nowadays, in all of its vastness. 

That was the exact reason that Nicolas Nuvan found himself in New Orleans in the first place; he was on tour asking people in every corner of the U.S. about their favorite music and artists. He’s generating some of the most telling music data in existence while giving artists huge digital pushes at random (based on his interview subjects’ answers).

Nicolas is one of many TikTok curators that have found a significant place in the modern music environment, but he’s a one-of-a-kind creator.

Jim Jones Sneak Peeks New ‘Broken Spanglish’ Project

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Immediately after releasing his joint project with Maino, “The Lobby Boyz,” Jim Jones is preparing to drop a Spanglish project, blending his Black and Puerto Rican heritage.

The Harlem native and worldwide ambassador is sharing how easy it is for him to floss on people in any language. Already knew he spoke English, Broken English, Harlem-ese, and now he wants you to get into this new bilingual flow.

He took to social media to share with fans a snippet of one of the songs on the new project.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by jimjonescapo (@jimjonescapo)

Capo wrote on his Instagram, “Spanish album loadin “broken Spanglish”
#VLLrecords vamplife Latin rec @hightoleranceusa.”

Dripped in a white teen and a coffin-crafted iced medallion, he flows in and out of two tongues with ease.

No one should be shocked. Back in December of 2021, Jones told AllHipHop.com that he was preparing to drop a total of six projects in 2022, making it a big year for the rapper/ mogul.

As AllHipHop.com reported, his new album was released in June, making many in Hip-Hop scratch their head when they peeped his rapping partner was Brooklyn’s own Maino.

Mr. “Hi Hater” and one of the founding members of the Diplomats had beef, but eventually squashed it when they realized it was not as serious as they once thought.

“We had a Mexican standoff,” Maino recalled as the show hosts broke into fits of laughter. “I was on the escalator going up, Lenox Mall. Jim Jones had to have 30 n##### with him. I had my brother 80 with me, it was like four or five of us. I’m going up, and I see these n##### going down, and they see me and I start counting and I’m like ‘Damn, that’s a lot of n#####.’ So I got to the top of the escalator, something say turn around and them n##### coming back up.” 

Jim Jones added, “80 and Sheek, Sheek is my OG, similar to how [Maino] and 80 move. But they knew each other very tight from being in the street. So at that point, they kind of intervened. They was saying what they was saying and it was just somehow me and him walked by ourselves to Bloomingdale’s.”

Now the two have celebrated with a summer banger, which is the perfect setup for Jones’ “Broken Spanglish,” which is coming soon.

“Broken Spanglish” will be the third release this year for the rapper. Before “The Lobby Boyz,” debuted, he dropped “Gangsta Grillz: We Set the Trends.”

Pudge Capone- “Keep Fighting” Video

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Music

Pudge Capone’s musical journey is certainly a lesson in perseverance and resiliency.

At one point, the Lebanon, Pennsylvania native was sitting behind bars, contemplating whether he was wasting his talent. That moment of clarity led to him honing his craft and focusing all of his energy on launching his career upon release.

For nearly 4 years since he has been a full-time artist, Pudge Capone has collaborated with the likes of Fatboy SSE and amassed well over 100K streams on Apple Music alone. This is all the more remarkable considering his limited number of musical releases. Often splitting his time between Pennsylvania and New York City, Washington Heights specifically, Pudge has built a strong network of creatives to collaborate with from both states that help bring his art to life. 

Now ready to take the leap and take his career to greater heights, Pudge Capone has unveiled his first official project in the form of the 4-track EP, ‘Blood, Sweat & Tears.’

The project finds Pudge sharing his journey with raw emotion that resonates with listeners. He also released the first official visual from the project with the TH Media-directed clip for “Keep Fighting.”

Pudge expounds on not getting the recognition he deserves on the song and persevering nonetheless. Watch the video below, follow him on Instagram at @PudgeCapone and be sure to stream the EP “Blood, Sweat & Tears” currently available on all digital streaming platforms. 

Madonna Reveals She Worships Kendrick Lamar

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Madonna would like to collaborate with the “brilliant” Kendrick Lamar on a song.

During an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Wednesday night, the superstar noted that her new compilation album, Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones, features guest appearances from Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Nicki Minaj, and Nile Rodgers.

“I mean, there’s one artist that I worship more than anything in life and I would love to collaborate with him – that’s Kendrick Lamar,” she smiled.

Madonna went on to describe Kendrick’s fifth studio album, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, as “history-making” and “mind-bogglingly brilliant.”

Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones will be released on August 19th.

Tiffany Haddish Explains Why She Turned Down $10 Million For A Social Media Post

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Tiffany Haddish once rejected a $10 million offer for an endorsement post on social media.

In an interview for the September 2022 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, the “Girls Trip” actress revealed that she is very careful about the projects and companies she aligns herself with.

“I’ve turned down, s###, I’ve turned down $10 million just to do a post because it didn’t represent my brand,” she said. “I turned down $10 million because my soul is worth more than that to me. My spirit, my integrity, how I want to be able to look at myself in the mirror every day… I’d rather be flat broke than get money to do something that makes me feel like s###.”

Tiffany takes a similar approach to her acting career and only takes on roles that have a great cast and crew.

“What I’ve noticed lately, though, is that casting has been coming to me first. So I’ve learned how to fight better too. Because it’s a battle getting the people that you want, because everybody still looks at you as talent, when they fail to realize I’ve produced things, got nominated for awards, won trophies,” the 42-year-old continued. “I kind of know what I’m doing. Give me an opportunity to make you richer, sir. I might not know how to keep a man, but I know how to make some money.”
