Y’all make everything else go viral so can this ? My 7 year old Rap Star takes over the stage ❤️
He stupid asf lol but …Klarna is just for women ?
why this man took me to Louis Vuitton for my birthday & pulled out a whole Klarna card at checkout. This the same IG baller that’s always flashing stacks, wearing designer, & bragging about how much money he got. I’m not ungrateful for NOT praising a ngga for financing a bag. I’d rather you buy me something for $100 that you can actually afford than try to impress me with money you don’t have. If you use Klarna for certain stuff you are broke period

Fuck yo apology
One of the female University of #Mississippi students caught in camera footage outside of a Black student's apartment Friday evening allegedly making racist noises and gestures apologized for her behavior on Tuesday.
"To the women I offended and to the Ole Miss community, I sincerely apologize," the student said in a statement released by a representative on her behalf. "Before the incident on November 6, I never met the women involved and was unaware of their race, however, I recognize my actions were insensitive, inappropriate, and deeply harmful."

It’s fucked up how they do us
Taraji P. Henson asked for $500,000 to play Brad Pitt's mother. She got $150,000 and says about $30,000 of it was left. The movie made $335 million.
In the video below, Gayle King asks if she's quitting acting. Taraji covers her face and cries before she can say a word. Then she does the math out loud.
In 2008 she was third on the call sheet for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, behind Pitt and Cate Blanchett. Her 2016 memoir says she'd been promised "somewhere in the mid six figures." At a 2023 SAG-AFTRA event she said she asked for $500,000 and was first offered $100,000.
It came up to $150,000 with a condition. She had to cover three months of New Orleans hotel bills herself. "Insult, meet injury," she wrote.
On The Real she did the sum. Half the $150,000 went to taxes. Her team took 30% of the full fee, $45,000. That left $30,000, and her son's school tuition that year was $30,000. "Literally, for five months, that's what I made."
The memoir puts her pay at less than 2% of what the studio paid the top name on that call sheet, Pitt.
She got an Oscar nomination for the role. Fifteen years later she said she almost walked away from The Color Purple over pay. That same month she told Gayle King: "Every time I do something and I break another glass ceiling, when it's time to renegotiate, I'm at the bottom again."
The case for the studio: Pitt sold the tickets, and she doesn't dispute his money. "They deserve to earn what they get," she said of Pitt and Blanchett.
Her side: "I too worked my ass off, and at the time I couldn't say no. I didn't have any power."
$335 million at the box office. An Oscar nomination. One year of school fees.
Every day, one star's real paycheck.
Was that Hollywood paying for box office power, or paying a Black woman less because it could?
