Chicago Rapper Common Uses FAMU Marching ‘100’ In ‘NBA On Prime’ Promo
Common attended the school 1991 and 1992.
Chicago-bred recording artist Common incorporated his alma mater’s marching band, Florida A&M University’s Marching “100,” in a promo for a recent NBA basketball game that aired Mar. 7 for the opening of the Orlando Magic vs. Minnesota Timberwolves contest on NBA on Prime.
On the broadcast, Common and the FAMU marching band recreated the “Victory” song that the streaming network uses for its official NBA on Prime theme. A video shows the band practicing and performing the song on the school’s basketball court, with several outdoor scenes and backdrops. A narrator mentions that Common was enrolled at the school in the early 1990s and uses his success after leaving as a reason for others to pursue their dreams and to carry the FAMU flame.
Among the voices heard during the clip are those of students discussing their goals and dreams of attending the university. The video continues with the bandmates preparing to play their instruments, as the students in the middle of the gym perform the “Victory” song. Common’s voice is then heard professing that he is a “Rattler for life” as he continues to voice his approval of hearing the band play.
“I’m a Rattler for life. And when I came down from Chicago, it was always about y’all (Marching 100). Y’all were our pride, man, so I just heard some of the rehearsals, and I was like, man, it started giving me chills.”
HBCU Gameday reported that the theme was composed by “Can I Borrow a Dollar?” lyricist, along with composers Karriem Riggins and three-time Grammy Award winner James Poyser. With the three of them collaborating, this was the first time that three Black composers created a national NBA broadcast theme.
More Black Fathers Take Active Roles In The Birth Process Thanks To New Programs And Advocacy
As the medical community works to combat the Black maternal health crisis, there are growing efforts to get more Black fathers involved.
As health professionals and advocates work to address the Black maternal health crisis, there are growing efforts to equip Black fathers with the tools to play a more active role in the birthing process.
Through government-funded initiatives and expanded nonprofit support, more Black fathers are becoming active participants in the pregnancy journey, the Orlando Sentinel reports. Organizations like the National Healthy Start Association, founded in 1998 to improve infant and maternal health outcomes, now employ “fatherhood practitioners” at its 116 project sites.
These specialists, alongside case managers, provide resources such as webinars, text-based support services, and even cooking classes designed for expectant fathers. Kenneth Scarborough, who has served as the organization’s fatherhood and men’s health consultant for a decade, says he has seen a growing emphasis on involving male partners in efforts to support pregnant women’s health.
“There’s more research that is being done to be able to change those narratives, without a shadow of a doubt,” Scarborough said. “The challenge with that is still getting these institutions to understand the value of making sure that Dad is there and he is at the table.”
JaKobi Burton is among a growing number of Black fathers taking a hands-on approach to parenthood from the very beginning. The first-time dad began preparing months ahead of his child’s birth by joining Dads to Doulas, an initiative created by Dear Fathers that trains expectant Black fathers to provide physical, emotional, and spiritual support before, during, and after childbirth.
“I want you to know that I was involved and that I was looking out for you from the very beginning, and I’m always going to be your biggest protector,” Burton tells his 1-month-old daughter. “That’s what I did from the beginning of this experience, trying to learn as much as I could.”
Despite growing initiatives, barriers within the healthcare system remain. Ndidiamaka Amutah-Onukagha, founder and director of the Center for Black Maternal Health and Reproductive Justice at Tufts University, says Black fathers are often left “on the fringes of the conversation” in medical settings and are frequently stereotyped as “scary and rough.” She noted that many fathers report being ignored in exam rooms, even though research shows paternal involvement is directly linked to better outcomes.
Deborah Frazier, CEO of the National Healthy Start Association, said medical institutions must move past stigmas around paternal participation, as Black and brown fathers still face persistent stereotypes of absenteeism.
“We have data and interviews with fathers, and those fathers have told us that they wanted to be there with their partners, and they wanted to be present for their births,” Frazier said.
Eric Adams Dreams Big With Wanting Denzel Washington To Play Him In A Movie
Of course, social media users caught wind of his remarks, jumping at the opportunity to jump in with their recommendations, including comedians Dave Chappelle and Tracy Morgan.
Former New York City Mayor Eric Adams says he has no plans of going Hollywood but has his eyes on one Oscar-winning actor to play him in a movie.
TMZcaught up with Adams while in Los Angeles to express how life has been post-Gracie Mansion, and says things are great. He also gave his take on the Trump administration’s dealings with Iran. But while living the soft life in La La Land, the land of movies and television, Adams said there is one actor he could see playing him in a movie — two-time Academy Award-winning actor and New York native, Denzel Washington.
“I’ll tell Denzel to do it,” Adams said jokingly around the 2:35 mark.
However, he said he has no plans on getting into entertainment. “I’ve done enough public life,” the former city leader said.
Of course, social media users caught wind of his remarks, jumping at the chance to share their recommendations. “There’s only one actor that can capture the comedic failures of Eric Adams,” @MaadyBK67 said on X with a picture of comedian Dave Chappelle.
Other users got a little personal, throwing digs at the former New York City police officer for some of his seemingly controversial doings during his tenure. “What would the movie even be about? Free flights to Turkey and smoking at hookah bars with influencers?” @KedNYC said.
What would the movie even be about? Free flights to turkey and smoking at hookah bars with influencers?
But movies in Adams’ likeness might be a ways away. However, he is still taking the time to chat about his approval — or disapproval — of his successor, Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
According to the New York Post, he feels the 34-year-old is in over his head in some of the instituted policies, saying the mayor is getting a “reality check.” “He’s seeing the reality of governing. You can’t tell people who are homeless to sleep in the street. Twenty people died, and I think we’re up to over 20 now. Looking at his decision on what he wanted to do about mayoral control, at one time he was saying he didn’t want it, and now he understands you need control,” Adams said.
“So, he’s going to learn that the idealistic approach is not the realistic approach. Governing is real.”

Gross! Detroit Police Officer Arrested Amid Accusations Of Stealing Explicit Photos From Detained Woman’s Phone
“It is just kind of scary to think that you’re someone who is here to protect people, that’s your job, that’s what you’re supposed to do, and yet you chose to do something like that."
Derond Crawford, a member of the Detroit Police Department, has been accused of stealing explicit photos from a woman’s phone while she was detained, CBS News Detroit reports.
Crawford is charged with one count each of using a computer to commit a crime, common-law offenses, and interfering with electronic communications.
He has suspended pending the outcome of the investigation, the Detroit Police Department said.
“The alleged actions are concerning and do not represent the overwhelming majority of Detroit Police officers who maintain a high level of conduct and professionalism that they have sworn to uphold,” the department said.
Crawford allegedly stole close to 11 explicit photos from the woman’s phone and sent them to himself. After learning she filed a complaint, Crawford allegedly went to her home, off duty and in a police car, and lied to other residents that there was a warrant out for her arrest.
In addition, the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office said he will be banned from using social media or a computer or device unless it’s for professional or court-related purposes, and will be forbidden from contacting or visiting the woman, reaching out to witnesses, and possessing weapons.
The victim, Samantha Thomason, called the ordeal “kind of scary” and said she knew something was off at the very beginning. According to WXYZ Detroit, she first encountered the officer at a gas station. She was later pulled over for driving without insurance and arrested on a warrant for a probation violation.
She said she became suspicious when Crawford got ahold of her phone during the stop, but couldn’t confirm anything until she was bonded out the next morning.
“It is just kind of scary to think that you’re someone who is here to protect people, that’s your job, that’s what you’re supposed to do, and yet you chose to do something like that,” Thomason said.
“When you initially first seen even the text just sent to the number, it was a sexual video off of my phone. So I already knew that was weird because I didn’t have access to my phone at this time. The only people who had my phone were the two officers who arrested me.”
Thomason said once reality hit her, she texted the number from a different phone saying, “I will be reporting you because you sent my nudes.”
Crawford has spent a little less than five years on the force, working with the 5th Precinct’s Special Operations Unit, but Thomason wants him punished to the greatest extent. “He should be in jail. He should, for one, definitely lose—you should not be a police officer at all,” she said.
Crawford is scheduled to appear in court on March 16.

“These words are new terms popping up everywhere, plus some words you may already know that have recently been added to the dictionary,” detailed the platform on X. ” As fandoms grow, the language that fans use to describe themselves becomes more common.”
According to Hot 97, the Beyhive emerged in the early to mid-2000s. However, the phrase gained popularity amid the internet boom of the 2010s. As it stands, the definition of “Beyhive” is officially listed as “the fanbase of the singer Beyoncé and its online community.”
The entry also featured example sentences, taken directly from news sources that used the title. Most referenced Beyoncé’s impact during her “Cowboy Carter” era.
One example sentence, pulled from BBC, stated “Some seats that were sold in the Beyhive fan presale for £620 excluding fees are next to seats that were available this week for £141.60 without fees.” The reference made mention to the pre-sale ticket frenzy surrounding the A-list singer’s highly lauded tour.
Another focused on Beyoncé’s impact on reviving Western fashions. The example sentence, taken from the Los Angeles Times, also wrote, “The Beyhive showed out with their western-inspired outfits, heavily inspired by the Grammy Award-winning country album.”
However, Beyoncé ended her tour last year. Now, Beyhive members remain on the hunt for hints about her next project, rumored to be a rock-inspired album.
HU Bison Community Calls Out D.C. Jogger For Promoting Runs Through Howard’s Campus
The running influencer's post about Howard divided the HBCU community.
A Washington, D.C.-based jogger has apologized to Howard University students after an insensitive post sparked controversy within the HBCU community.
Instagrammer “Your Buddy Gus” sparked outrage with a post promoting runs throughout the HBCU’s campus. His social media content primarily promotes runs in the D.C. area, filming the trails as he goes.
Some Howard students and alumni called the move tone-deaf, especially given the sacredness of HBCU campuses nationwide. Others chimed in, asking him not to promote the school grounds recklessly, as others with nefarious motives could head there next.
Following the criticism, Gus posted an apology for his since-deleted video.
“It was insensitive for me to run through a private institution like Howard without the approval of the Howard community,” he said. “I see that now, especially given the history of outsiders abusing Howard’sbcampus, which I was previously unaware of.”
While the D.C. jogger had positive intentions with his content, he recognized Howard students’ concerns regarding his promotion of their campus as a running opportunity.
“The purpose of my content is to highlight the beauty of Washington D.C., but I never want to do that at the expense of people’s safety, well-being, and overall peace of mind. So, to the people in my comments who spoke up, thank you for doing so. This has been a valuable experience.“
Some sided with Gus, stating that HBCU supporters took the criticism too far, especially if his intentions sought to help others see the city’s beauty and historic areas.
One person, who identified themselves as a Howard alumnus, wrote, “The excessive comments on his last video were ridiculous. He was running! D.C. has several universities, and people run through the city, and through them, often. He was not disrespectful, and frankly, Howard, although private, is quite open to the public more times than not. Just a waste of actual commentary when we have REAL issues afoot.”
Another wrote, “I can’t stand us sometimes. Are we serious? It’s literally public streets…”
Despite this, others noted the uptick in violence and safety threats at several HBCU institutions, saying Gus’ video could cause potential security issues. Furthermore, another Howard alumnus noted that the school must be held in high regard as an esteemed institution in Black history, not just a walking trail for D.C. residents.
“I’m confused and disappointed by the number of Black people saying he did nothing wrong. He did, and he apologized. Why are you so quick to contradict our own brothers and sisters to give this man a pass? Has the lack of solidarity taught us nothing?”
They continued, “Also, let’s be clear: Howard University is a private campus on private property. It is not a public park, a jogging trail, or a dog-walking area. When people start treating it that way, others will follow. And yes—I say this as a graduate of Howard who lived on campus my entire time as a student.”
Trump Doubles Down On ‘Some People Will Die’ Comment While Taking A ‘Guess’ On Retaliation From Iran
While Trump boasts about killing "all their leaders," American voters worry about retaliatory attacks to the home base.
President Donald Trump is taking a gamble on retaliation efforts from Iran, giving a response of “I guess” when asked about concerns of attacks on U.S. soil.
In an interview with Time, Trump said the United States is seemingly prepared for anything after Operation Epic Fury began Feb. 28 in Tehran with one of the most expansive air operations in decades.
The attack killed Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in addition to several senior officials in line to become potential successors, something the president patted himself on the back about. “I’ve killed all their leaders. That room is gone,” Trump said.
The attacks also caused damage to civilian areas, killing more than 150 people after a barrage hit a girls school.
It’s these types of facts and comments that have caused grave concern from political leaders and American voters on retaliatory attacks at, to which Trump said, “I guess. But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it.
“But yeah, you know, we expect some things,” he added. “Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”
Those were some of Trump’s comforting remarks in first announcing the conflict. He described those who lost their lives already as “patriots.”
While leaders are leaning on the possibility of a ceasefire, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that’s not happening.
“We are not asking for a ceasefire, and we don’t see any reason why we should negotiate with the U.S., when we negotiated with them twice and every time they attacked us in the middle of negotiations,” Araghchi said. “So there is no request for a ceasefire from us and there is no request for negotiation with the U.S. from us. We are waiting for them.”
He also said there is no need to go past American bases overseas, as the issue isn’t with American citizens.
“…I have been in touch with their foreign ministers, and I have explained that we are not targeting you,” he said. “We have no problem with you. We are only targeting the American installations.”
“Mark my words: The U.S. will come to bitterly regret [the] precedent it has set,” Araghchi said, according to The Hill.
The president seems to be backtracking on his campaign promises, including vowing to end wars, not to start them. Trump has authorized attacks in eight other countries, with three of them never experiencing direct attacks from U.S. forces before.
In 2025, he approved more individual airstrikes than former President Joe Biden did over four years.
It’s Women’s History Month And These Black Women Are Definitely Owning The Moment
The narratives around incredible Black women are truly inspiring
Nationally and globally, the narratives around incredible Black women are truly inspiring, especially during Women’s History Month. The measurable impact that Black women have on society, and specifically among their own communities, shows through their work and accomplishments — whether it’s hanging on museum walls, navigating movie sets, leading corporate boardrooms, or performing on the Olympic stage. BLACK ENTERPRISE is highlighting several women who actively inform the cultural trends, create artistic movements, and develop economic systems. These Black women define life and work on their own terms. During Women’s History Month, they are having a moment. In fact, they are the moment.

From Gospel to Groundbreaking: Bishop Hezekiah Walker Is Building Community
Walker is expanding his ministry into real estate
For decades, Bishop Hezekiah Walker’s voice has been a constant in Black households. His songs play at Sunday services, family reunions, hospital bedsides, and victory celebrations. But the gospel legend says the work he is most proud of right now has nothing to do with a stage.
Today, Walker is expanding his ministry into real estate and community development. His latest project, HezHouseApartments in Brooklyn, is a 10-story affordable housing development where residents begin moving in this spring.
“I see myself as part of the legacy, but I also see evolution,” Walker told BLACK ENTERPRISE.
“Growing up in the Black church, I went because my mom made me go. And when I got old enough to make my own decisions, I decided to stay. I decided to help the church grow.”
For Walker, music became the door that led him to ministry. When people began approaching him for prayer following concerts, he realized he wasn’t confident in his biblical knowledge. Soon, he enrolled in Bible school. Preaching followed, then pastoring. Eventually, he founded his own church, renting spaces and slowly expanding. Years later, he purchased a property he didn’t yet know how to use. He held onto it, even when plans to build a larger sanctuary seemed obvious.
“Something just said don’t sell that property,” he recalled. “I was in prayer, and the Lord spoke to me and said, ‘Don’t build a church.’”
Not long after, the pandemic reshaped congregations nationwide.
“Every church is online,” Walker said. “God, thank you. Because I would have built this church, 2,000-seater, and the church would have been on a decline.”
When New York City’s Mayor Bill de Blasio approached him about using the property for housing, his congregation immediately supported the pivot.
“They stood up and started clapping,” he said. “They were so excited. They were like, ‘Yes, let’s do something for the community. Let’s leave a legacy.’”
The first residents of HezHouse Apartments, Walker’s $80 million affordable housing development in East New York, Brooklyn, will move into the 236-unit building this month. A remarkable feat, considering Walker first entered the project with no real estate experience.
“I didn’t know anything about development. I didn’t know anything about the contracts,” he said. “It took us six years.”
The bishop assembled lawyers, advisors, and members from inside and outside his church to guide him through financing, city approvals, and negotiations. At one point, the city attempted to buy the land outright. Walker refused.
“You can build the building, but the land will always be ours,” he said. “So we still own the land. We leased the land for 99 years. That’s what legacy is all about. We leave it for those that’s behind us.”
The development also includes commercial space that hasn’t yet been designated, but Walker told Black Enterprise he is leaning toward creating an adult daycare for seniors whose families work during the day.
“We talk about community, but we don’t do community,” he said. “The church must evolve. We can no longer sit.”
And while he’s heard the jokes about megachurch pastors and performative theology, Walker argues the Black church remains one of the most underestimated economic forces in America.
“They definitely underestimate that,” he said. “They just look at what we get and what we obtain. And unfortunately, we have those who obtain for themselves, but we have others who obtain for the people.”
In his own church, he points to practical programs such as financial education, credit repair, and first-time homebuyer support.
“We have a clean-up-your-credit ministry,” Walker said. “We have first-time homebuyers. We show them how to do that. We give them the principles of wealth.”
Even as Walker leans deeper into housing and community development, music remains central to his ministry. A new single, “Favor,” will be released this month.
“I’ve been so busy with the housing until I happened to have the time to concentrate on the music, but I like to listen and see what our culture needs, and that’s when I start looking for songs,” Walker shared. “There was a young man who introduced the song to me, I listened to the lyrics, I added some stuff to it, and it’s a testament that’s on my life and on many lives.”
“Favor will open doors that were closed in your face,” he continued. “We would not be who we are if we did not have favor. Even in the midst of what our people went through, favor was on our people. And we’re here because of that favor.”
That favor has led Walker to extend his ambitions internationally. After visiting South Africa more than 15 years ago, he says the trip transformed him.
“It changed my entire life,” he said. “When I got there, I felt like this is where I belong. I felt like, ‘I’m home.’”
He is now developing a performing arts center in Cape Town to provide young people with access to music and performance training.
“There are so many talented kids over there, but they just don’t have the resources,” he said. “I want a place where they can learn music, learn dance, and showcase their talent.”
Back stateside, HezHouse Brooklyn is only the beginning. Walker is already planning housing projects in North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
“The Lord pulled the brakes and told me to build housing,” he said.
For Walker, the mission is clear. The church, he believes, cannot only inspire. It must also build.
“Everybody’s not walking in the church,” he said. “We bring the church to the people.”
Rihanna Safe Following Gunfire Attack at Her Beverly Hills Residence; Police Apprehend Suspect
The suspect, a woman in her 30s, has been detained after firing 7 shots toward the home.
Rihanna is reportedly safe after a woman was arrested for firing multiple shots into the star’s Beverly Hills home.
The shooting occurred in the early afternoon of March 8, with the alleged shooter pulling the trigger several times toward the property. Los Angeles Police confirmed to CNN that the shots hit the gates of the home, but not the actual property itself.
However, others were reportedly inside the property at the time of the shooting, including its famous owner. Rolling Stone reported that Rihanna and as other undisclosed people were at the home when the shots broke out. Fortunately for the “Diamonds” singer, no one suffered any reported injuries.
Los Angeles police also found multiple “assault rifle casings” at the scene, as told to CBS LA. The suspect reportedly fired the seven gunshots before speeding off in a white Tesla. Police later located her car at the Sherman Oaks Galleria shopping center, about eight miles from the home.
Police found the woman, who appeared to be in her 30s, before swiftly taking her into custody. No motive for the shooting has been released to the public.
The local news outlet also obtained aerial footage of the property, which showed the gunshot holes in the gate. The footage also showed police vehicles blocking off the area as they investigated the scene.
While it is unclear if Rihanna lives at the home full-time, local officials confirmed her ownership of the Beverly Hills residence. The singer has yet to comment on the ordeal.
The incident comes nearly 6 months after Rihanna gave birth to her third child. Last September, she announced the birth of her first girl, named Rocki Irish Mayers, with partner A$AP Rocky. She has two boys with Rocky as well.
Since giving birth, the Barbados native has also hinted at returning to the studio for her long-awaited 9th studio album. She transitioned away from music in recent years to pursue other aspects of her professional and personal life, including the launch of her flagship company, Fenty Beauty, and motherhood.
