Many names have been bandied about in previous years while discussing who should be considered the King of R&B. In this context, Usher seems to be mentioned more frequently than others, and there’s a good explanation for it. Usher has been making music for nearly 30 years, and throughout that time he’s given his fans nothing but timeless hits. Additionally, he has written lyrics for innumerable other artists’ albums.

NPR premiered Usher’s Tiny Desk Concert from last week on Thursday morning. Usher’s performance served as a powerful reminder of his prowess as he effortlessly performed fan favorites and displayed his impressive vocal range. In his 25-minute set, Usher showcased his extensive discography with hits like “You Make Me Wanna…,” “Superstar,” and “Confessions Pt. II.” Usher brought in a bevy of musicians and singers to aid out with the live renditions, including Eric Bellinger and Vedo.

The Tiny Desk Concert by Usher is a part of NPR’s Juneteenth celebration, which features performances by musicians who “reflect the past, present, and future of Black music.”

Recent years have seen a dearth of new songs from Usher. He collaborated with Zaytoven on an album, titled simply A, in 2018. Together with Marshmello and Imanbek, he released the song “Too Much” last year.

ISTHATPORKS TAKE:

Usher has been around for a few decades now. With hit after hit, his songs have stood the test of time and made girls cry. However, being the king of R&B is a tall order. Hell, the King of anything is a tall order. Many are called but few can say they reached that milestone. Not sure if he's gonna get there, but, we like his effort with the claim. Certainly No Pork In trying.

Diddy’s Joker costume from the 1989 film provided plenty of laughs on Halloween night. On the other hand, he may have been too immersed in his role when he had a weekend altercation with “Power” actor Michael J. Ferguson.

On camera, Ferguson refers to Diddy as “p—-,” prompting the rapper to laugh like the Joker and label Ferguson “clown.”

“What’s up, baby? You don’t like me,” Diddy asked Ferguson. “Then motherf—— get to it, n—-. If you don’t like me, you motherf—— fronting. Get to it b—-. Don’t f—— play with me on Halloween. I’m out here with love, n—-.”

At this moment, Ferguson still seems to be unaware that the man behind the mask is actually Diddy, as he keeps attacking the performer.

“You f—— p—-, make sure you won’t never talk to me that like,” Diddy said. “We’re having a good time. Why do you want to come at me like that? You got a problem? You really taking over my energy right now. What did I do to you? Do you know who I am?”

Diddy then tells him who he is, and it deescalates.

Recently, movie mogul Tyler Perry challenged Janet Jackson and Jill Scott, two megastar singers, to continue the Why Did I Get Married? series, and Scott has since answered.

The owner of Tyler Perry Studios joked on “Entertainment Tonight” before Perry’s first TheGrio Awards that the two singers are delaying production on Why Did I Get Married 3.

Perry said in a deadpan, “If Janet and Jill Scott say yes, I’m waiting for them to say it.”

Scott’s “A Long Walk” vocalist immediately responded by quoting the tweet and tagging the rest of the cast of the “Why Did I Get Married?” series.

Janet has yet to respond, though. But others have.

Jill, sent out another message for Janet.

Why Did I Marry? series follows married couples who have trouble when vacationing at exotic resorts.

The films are part of Perry’s best 10 movies, that grossed over $115 million.

Kanye West to Buy Conservative Social Platform Parler After Twitter, Instagram Ban

The controversial conservative social networking site Parler has announced that it will be acquired by Kanye West.

Parler’s parent company, Parlement Technologies, released a statement on Monday stating that they are “pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement in principle for Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, to acquire the Parler platform.”

Further, “the acquisition guarantees Parler a future role in developing an uncancelable ecosystem where all opinions are welcome,” the company said.

President and CEO of Parler George Farmer remarked, “Ye’s acquiring of Parler will strengthen our ability to create an uncancelable ecosystem. No one should have to self-censor out of uncertainty about which legal speech will get him or her banned. No individual or business should worry about being completely deplatformed, as Parler was, merely for the expression of opposing viewpoints. 

We intend for Parler to always be a safe space for open discussion and open minds. We shall keep up our resistance to tyranny, censorship, and cancel culture.

The 45-year-old artist and entrepreneur Kanye West bought Parlor after having his Twitter account suspended earlier this month for a regulation violation.

The Hollywood Reporter claims that in a now-deleted tweet, West threatened to unleash “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE.”

“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” he wrote, per the outlet. “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.”

Twitter took this action after the Grammy winner had his account blocked by Instagram and had content deleted from his profile for breaking Instagram’s terms of service, as reported by NBC News and CNN.

Even though many people were offended by a post published by West that has since been deleted, a Meta spokeswoman would not clarify to any outlet what content was in violation.

The “Stronger” singer posted a screenshot of a conversation he had with Sean “Diddy” Combs, in which it appeared that West had said Combs, 52, was under Jewish influence. He captioned the photo, “Jesus is Jew,” as reported by NBC News.
