Tiffany Haddish Gives Haters the Hand, Says She Will Do ‘Girls Trip’ Sequel if Her Costars Want Her Back
Fans don’t think the whole cast should be invited to this upcoming Girls Trip. Actress Tiffany Haddish said she is not missing out on being a part of the Girls Trip 2 movie, even with Twitter haters trying to get her pushed out of the cast.
According to TMZ, Haddish was approached by reporters outside of The Ivy on Tuesday evening, who questioned her about the backlash she was receiving from the movie’s viewers.
Critics proposed that Haddish’s role be excluded, after an announcement last week confirmed a “Girls Trip 2” was going to happen.
Haddish said she was all in for returning with the cast for the second movie, as long as her costars wanted her back, noting that she wasn’t going to be concerned with what everyone else thinks should happen.
“I gotta be concerned about how I feel,” the L.A. native said, adding that she feels good about her self these days.
Haddish stated, “Y’know every year they say this,” insinuating that she isn’t completely convinced yet that the filming will actually happen for the movie.
As previously reported by BLACK ENTERPRISE, Twitter users started a petition to remove Haddish from the cast, some suggesting that she be replaced with actress and comedian Janelle James.
The issue fans have with the actress comes after a child molestation lawsuit was filed against her and comedian Aries Spears last year. BLACK ENTERPRISE reported that the lawsuit, accusing the comedians of sexually abusing an underaged brother and sister, was dismissed in September 2022.
Reportedly, filming plans for Girls Trip 2 is set to take place in Ghana, with the whole original cast, which includes Haddish, Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett-Smith,and Regina Hall.
According to Haddish, she has already spoken with her costars, and the OG cast is ready to get things rolling.
Big Freedia Prepares to Break Ground on Property for New Hotel and Nightclub in NOLA
The city of NOLA is about to be on and popping in 2024.
Bounce artist Big Freedia is gearing up for plans to launch Hotel Freedia, a boutique nightclub and hotel in New Orleans.
According to Rolling Stone, the performer confirmed that workers would be breaking ground on the location on Decatur and Frenchmen streets in the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood of New Orleans this spring.
“This dream of mine has been in the works for a long time, I’ll be one of the first Black hotel owners in New Orleans,” Freedia wrote on Twitter on Wednesday.
“Will keep y’all posted on the official opening date, can’t wait to see y’all at Hotel Freedia,” the tweet continued.
Hotel Freedia will only feature five rooms as she envisions the hotel operating more as a nightclub, music, venue, and pool party spot, providing its guests with entertainment, food, and drinks during their visit.
“Think of a country club with a music venue,” Freedia’s manager Reid Martin said when describing the hotel.
“Obviously, Frenchmen Street is all about local music so we want to have a lot of local music going on, but we’re also interested in having some national music coming in,” Martin added.
Big Freedia teased at the concept for her hotel about two years ago during the pandemic, where she occupied her time at home cooking and providing hospitality for herself, friends, and neighbors.
“Not being able to go out and work during the pandemic, cooking brought so much light and creativity it just really got me interested in doing a restaurant,” Freedia said.
“And I always had a dream of opening a hotel, so it just kind of came together that way,” the bounce icon added.
The hotel is an extension of Big Freedia’s business adventures.
As previously reported by BLACK ENTERPRISE, the artist announced a cannabis partnership with Green Queen Dispensary in August 2022.
Big Freedia hopes her hotel venture will celebrate its grand opening in time for Mardi Gras 2024.
Pregnant Florida Woman Found Dead Next to Car With Sleeping 23-Month-Old Inside
A family is grieving the loss of a loved one found dead on the street of a residential neighborhood in Florida.
According to People, Alana Sims’ body was discovered next to a Ford EcoSport SUV. Inside the vehicle was her 23-month-old son who was fast asleep. Sims was publicly identified by her family on Tuesday, who also revealed she was five months pregnant.
“Alana was the best person you could be around. She wasn’t around drama.” Shahlevi Sims, Alana’s mother said to People. “She stayed to herself, you know, just a real down-to-earth person. She loved being around her nieces, she loved her son and her family.”
According Fox 13, Tampa Police Department spokesperson Crystal Clark said that Sims’ death is believed to be a targeted attack. “I can tell you, when she was laying on the ground, it appeared she had been deceased for a bit of time,” she explained.
“[She] was a lovable soul. I mean, she didn’t have to die young,” Shalevi Sims told Fox 13. “She shouldn’t have to die young. And everybody should know that, you know, your loved ones, you want to keep them close because you just don’t know.”
According to a press release from the city of Tampa, the case is still under investigation by homicide detectives. As for the baby boy who was in his car seat in the back of the vehicle when the police arrived, he was unharmed and is now being looked after by family.
“This is a complete tragedy,” Clark said. “You have a child now who’s without a mother because someone took her life while the child was sitting right there in the car behind her as it happened.”
Sims’ family has set up a GoFundMe page to help with funeral costs. The family asked for $4,000. As of Thursday afternoon, nearly $11,000 had been raised.
Tyre Nichols’ Mother, Stepfather to Attend Biden State of the Union Speech
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The mother and stepfather of Tyre Nichols, the Black man who was fatally beaten by Memphis police officers, have accepted an invitation to attend U.S. President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address in February.
Congressional Black Caucus executive director Vincent Evans tweeted on Sunday that the caucus chairman, U.S. Representative Steven Horsford, invited Nichols’ parents to Washington for the State of the Union address, and that they have accepted the invitation.
Nichols repeatedly cried, “Mom! Mom!” as the five Memphis police officers charged with the Black motorist’s murder pummeled him with kicks, punches and baton blows after a Jan. 7 traffic stop, video released by the city on Friday showed.
The officers, all Black, were dismissed from the police department. Nichols, 29, was hospitalized and died of his injuries three days after the confrontation in the city where he lived with his mother and stepfather and worked at FedEx. Police also suspended a sixth officer in the case.
The Congressional Black Caucus also said it was requesting a meeting with Biden this week to push for negotiations on national reforms to the U.S. justice and police systems.
“The brutal beating of Tyre Nichols was murder and is a grim reminder that we still have a long way to go in solving systemic police violence in America,” it added.
Nichols’ death marked the latest high-profile instance of police officers accused of using excessive force in the deaths of Black people and other minorities in recent years.
Biden spoke on Friday to Nichols’ mother, RowVaughn Wells, and his stepfather, Rodney Wells. Nichols’ mother hoped the tragedy could lead to a “greater good,” the family’s attorney said.
Biden will deliver his second State of the Union address on Feb. 7.
Biden is expected to use the speech, which is delivered during a joint session of Congress, as an unofficial start to the 2024 presidential campaign season, laying out policy priorities that could face rough sledding in Congress after Republicans won control of the House of Representatives in the midterm elections.

Truist Foundation Announces Where It Starts, a $22M Initiative to Support Small Businesses and Create Career Opportunities for Communities of Color
Truist Foundation today announced the creation of Where It Starts, a $22 million, multiyear program to strengthen small businesses and open career pathways for Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) individuals across the U.S.
As part of Where It Starts, Truist Foundation awarded grants to three anchor partners, CAEL (the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning), Living Cities and Main Street America, with CAEL receiving a previously announced $15.7 million grant, and Living Cities and Main Street America today receiving a joint $6.3 million grant.
Truist Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bill Rogers and Truist Foundation President Lynette Bell joined CAEL President Earl Buford, Living Cities President and CEO Joe Scantlebury and Main Street America Interim President and CEO Hannah White to launch the initiative at Truist’s Innovation and Technology Center at its headquarters in Charlotte.
“In collaboration with CAEL, Living Cities and Main Street America, we will remove barriers to growth and create pathways to opportunity,” said Bell. “Tackling systemic, perpetual inequity starts by taking a whole-person approach. At Truist Foundation, this means partnering with organizations to look at individuals and their unique circumstances and co-creating a solution tailored to their specific need.”
Alongside the foundation, CAEL, Living Cities and Main Street America will spearhead initiatives that connect to and advance the mission of Where It Starts. CAEL, a national nonprofit working to improve education-to-career pathways for adult learners, will launch Where It Starts: Build Better Careers, a six-year initiative across Charlotte, N.C.; Memphis, Tenn.; and Miami, that prioritizes BIPOC and underserved communities by building career paths in professions and industries where these communities have been underrepresented, such as financial services.
“The support of Truist Foundation has profoundly extended the breadth, depth and reach of our mission, creating new ways to boost equitable economic mobility through improved education-to-career pathways for adult learners,” said Buford.
With the Foundation’s support, Living Cities, a member-collaborative working to close racial income and wealth gaps in the U.S., and Main Street America, an organization seeking to advance local community-led economic development, will lead a multi-year strategy, Where It Starts: Breaking Barriers to Business, across Atlanta; Charlotte; Memphis and Nashville, Tenn.; and Miami.
The program will uplift entrepreneurs of color by providing them with tools and resources as well as collaboration opportunities with community leaders to break down local systemic barriers for small business owners.
“Living Cities is honored to be a part of Truist Foundation’s Where It Starts portfolio,” said Scantlebury. “Our involvement reinforces and strengthens our commitment to progress economic opportunity for entrepreneurs of color in the Southeast. Partnering with Truist Foundation, Main Street America, CAEL, city leaders and community partners will help us facilitate wealth-building pathways and foster an economy where individuals and communities can thrive beyond a generation.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Truist Foundation and Living Cities to work alongside community leaders and entrepreneurs of color to co-create more supportive environments,” added White. “This new initiative also furthers Main Street America’s long-term vision that everyone has access to an inclusive and resilient Main Street.”
Where It Starts illustrates the importance of working together – across organizations and industries – to catalyze change, and this is just the start. This long-term initiative will continue to evolve and expand as Truist Foundation establishes more strategic partnerships with nonprofits and embeds itself throughout local communities to collaborate on innovative solutions that exemplify Truist’s purpose to inspire and build better lives.

Rev. Al Sharpton Chastises Memphis Cops at Tyre Nichols’ Funeral, In City of MLK’s Assassination
Police beating victim Tyre Nichols’ funeral took place on Wednesday in the same city where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.
At Nichols’ funeral, there was no shortage of speakers who discussed the injustice of the young man dying at the hands of five Memphis police officers.
Rev. Al Sharpton, who read the eulogy, expressed an impassioned speech that chastised the Black cops who beat Nichols. Specifically for those police officers beating a Black man and ignoring the fight that Dr. King and other people who have fought for the civil rights of Black people had so that they can be in the position to become police officers.
Yahoo Newscovered the speech that Sharpton gave at Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church, where he stated that the beating of Nichols took place not far from the Lorraine Motel, where the civil rights leader King, had his life taken nearly 55 years ago on April 4, 1968.
“The reason why, Mr. and Mrs. Wells [Nichols’s stepfather and mother], what happened to Tyre is so personal to me is that five Black men that wouldn’t have had a job in the police department, would not ever be thought of to be in an elite squad in the city that Dr. King lost his life, not far away from that balcony, you beat a brother to death,” the MNSBC host said.
Sharpton spoke directly to the five Memphis police officers, Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills Jr., and Justin Smith, although they were not at the funeral service.
“In the city that they slayed the dreamer. What has happened to the dream? In the city where the dreamer lay down and shed his blood, you have the unmitigated gall to beat your brother, chase him down and beat him some more, call for backup and they take 20 minutes, and you watch him and you are too busy talking among each other, no empathy, no concern.”
Fox News reported that Sharpton also said that if Nichols was white, the officers’ actions that night would not have happened.
“I can’t speak for everybody in Memphis, I can’t speak for everybody gathering, but for me, I believe if that man had been White, you wouldn’t have beat him like that, that night.”
The five police officers have been terminated from the Memphis Police Department and indicted for second-degree murder, aggravated assault, and two charges of aggravated kidnapping.
Stay Scheming: Fraudster In Usain Bolt Scandal Asked For Loan To Repay Victims
More information has been revealed in the Usain Bolt embezzlement scandal: Bloomberg has reported that the person responsible for the alleged scheme asked Bolt’s management team for a loan in order to help pay back other victims.
The former employee of Stocks & Securities Limited (SSL) wrote a confession believing she “could borrow the money from the Bolt management group to repay the other SSL clients.” SSL said the scheme has damaged clients and staff.
“The events that have unfolded have had tremendous adverse consequences for the affected clients, and for the hard-working staff at SSL,” the firm said.
BLACK ENTERPRISE previously reported that SSL’s former client relationship manager, Jean-Ann Panton, gave a sworn affidavit to the Financial Services Commission detailing how she took funds from the investment firm for years, whom she worked with for 25 years.
Her scheme unraveled after Bolt revealed he was missing $12 million from his account, making headlines around the world. The celebrated athlete made $33 million in endorsement deals in 2016 alone.
Stocks & Securities Ltd., headquartered in Jamaica, told Bloomberg it is still evaluating the total loss. “The firm’s insurance policy includes coverage for employee dishonesty and forgery with coverage up to $1 million,” SSL said. “Efforts are also being made to have the staffer commit to restitution.”
The scandal has caused a lot of changes for the country’s financial institutions and for Bolt’s team.
The director of the Financial Services Commission has resigned and has been replaced with Bank of Jamaica’s Governor Richard Byles, as reported by Bloomberg. Bolt has fired his business manager and is looking forward to moving past this “stressful” time.
“I will leave the matter in my lawyer’s hands and focus on my family, try not to think too much about it because it’s a stressful situation,” the 36-year-old Olympic champ and legendary runner said.
Rap Legend Chuck D Speaks For The Unspoken In New PBS Docuseries
Chuck D, the legendary frontman of Public Enemy and Prophets of Rage, rings in the 50th celebration of hip-hop with an ode to the 1990s immortal anthem, “Fight The Power.”
At a recent appearance, Chuck D, armed with passion and perspective, left visitors at the historic Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem with confidence that hip-hop is still changing the world.

Inspired by The Isley Brothers’ song of the same name, Chuck D created what Spike Lee would ultimately use for the soundtrack and the socio-political theme of the 1989 film Do the Right Thing. People forget that Public Enemy’s “Fight The Power” was not a standalone song, and it came at a time when the golden age of Black radio illuminated the issues of civil and racial unrest in late 70s New York.
“One of the connecting forces to lead me into Public Enemy in the first place was WLIB,” Chuck D spoke of the radio station that the Rev. Al Sharpton once called ‘the heartbeat of the Black community.’ “Because at that time in New York City, that was the thing that connected the boroughs and the surrounding tri-state area.”
“So we take heed to that, that hip-hop was in that circulation,” he added.
Hip-hop speaks truth to power
For Chuck D, the global movement continues. He feels responsible for steering the narrative forward about hip-hop and its unapologetic, fierce, and empowering impact on the world.
FIGHT THE POWER: HOW HIP HOP CHANGED THE WORLD, developed and co-produced by Chuck D and his producing partner, Lorrie Boula, in partnership with BBC Music, is a new four-part PBS docuseries that tells the story of hip-hop as it spoke truth to power and informed a nation through a different lens.
“The key in this statement of Fight the Power: How Hip Hop Changed the World is ‘world.’ If you allow this government to keep you in a 2000 by 3000-mile United States of America box, you’re not in line with what the culture has already done for the last 40 years anyway,” the Long Island native said.
He added: “This is for us. So yeah, yeah, Chuck D’s name on it, but as in any leadership position, you have an accountability and a responsibility.”
From Chuck D and Grandmaster Caz to LL Cool Jand Melle Mel, some of rap’s icons share firsthand accounts about the Bronx-bred art form that became a cultural phenomenon against the backdrop of American history.
“We got together and said, this is something where I have to basically be seen to make you hear somebody who you’d least expect sound like a scholar in this art form,” Chuck D said.
Following the debut of Do the Right Thing, “Fight the Power” skyrocketed to No. 20 on Billboard’s Hot Rap Chart. It became a powerful manifesto for the working-class youth who were fed up with the manipulation, the violence, and the neglect induced by the system of racism destroying their communities.

“What I got tired of is basically having every other narrative but the narrative that they would sacrifice being able to speak,” Chuck D said. “When we get the opportunity, then we make our way to speak for the unspoken. That’s where the art form came from.”
As Public Enemy says: “Our freedom of speech is freedom or death / We got to fight the powers that be.”
The series premiere sheds light on the turbulent factors that led to the birth of hip-hop and its first socially conscious hit, The Message, by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five in 1982. It only marks the beginning of an anthology of how hip-hop inspired a palpable consciousness through the voices and creativity of those who were there at the beginning.
Streaming is available on Tuesday, Feb. 7 and airs on PBS Tuesday, Feb. 14.
The art of Chuck D

The hip-hop pioneer is poised to revolutionize the art game, too. A graduate of New York’s Adelphia University with a B.F.A. in Graphic Design, Chuck D’s career as an internationally celebrated performer has only amplified his visual art endeavors.
Since his first-ever exhibition, Chuck D has created revolutionary art from the point of view of one who has lived it. From systemic racism and racial profiling to the undocumented aspects of pop culture history, he has always been outspoken.
In the spirit of his groundbreaking activism, Chuck D is looking forward to sharing more of his story in the upcoming fine art book LIVIN’ LOUD, hitting shelves on Feb. 7 by Genesis Publications.
Featuring over 250 artworks created by Chuck D, the book immortalizes his thought process and inspirations. Commentary will guide readers through his early experiences growing up in the ’60s through his early roots in hip-hop. He nods to central figures that critically shaped him and his voice, the formation of Public Enemy to their Rock’ n’ Roll Hall of Fame induction, his time with Prophets of Rage to current day world affairs.
Keke Palmer Teases What She’s Naming Baby Boy: ‘It Gives Black American Storyline’
Keke Palmer is gearing up to welcome her first child and the soon-to-be mom is finally opening up about the day she learned she was pregnant.
The Nope star released a new episode of her Baby, this is Keke Palmerpodcast Tuesday where she sat down with her boyfriend, Darius Jackson, and her mother, Sharon Palmer, to discuss the moment.
“I always told myself definitely by 28 I would love to be pregnant, or at least focusing on something like this […]” Palmer shared. “So, I took the test, and it came back negative. I didn’t have the lines on there, so I just threw it in the trash.”
However, while out at a business dinner, Palmer, 29, received a text from Darius showing a photo of a positive pregnancy test.
“I didn’t wait long enough! And I’m like, ‘I took that earlier today, like literally just some hours before I left out.’ And he said, ‘Well, you better get to be drinking water in your sight. Cause I’m buying 10 of these things right now. You take them all when you get home,’” Palmer recalled.
“Soon as I come home, I, and I’m also not kidding, as soon as I come home, me and him, I do 10 of ’em back-to-back, back-to-back, to back, to back-to-back. All positive.”
Palmer surprised fans when she announced her pregnancy during her opening monologue on Saturday Night Live in early December. Most recently, the KeyTV mogul shared photos from her and Darius’ brown and cream-themed baby shower.
“We want it to just be like—we’re not going for anything too unique. It’s not about to be “Stone” and “Sand.” It’s just like a nice natural. No aesthetic baby.”
