In a week where some celebrities and lesser know figures made headlines for positive stories, it’s the tragic death of Young Dolph that will be remembered most. As Blavity previously reported, the 36-year-old rapper was gunned down outside of a local business in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.

Lil Nas X delivered some of his usual humor when he appeared in a fake Maury episode and played the role of a guest caught up in a love triangle, CNN reports.

Chris Tucker sat down for an interview and explained why he’s hesitant to take part in a sequel for the Friday franchise.

“I never really wanted to do another one,” Tucker said. “I always said, because I know my fans love the movies so much [and] they always bring it up, I said, well, if they come to me with a great script and a great idea, I’d definitely consider it. But it’s been so long ago and that character became such a great character. I don’t wanna mess it up.”

The comedian also said he initially decided to turn down the first Friday sequel because he didn’t want to promote weed.

“Back then, I gotta tell you, one of the reasons why I didn’t do the second one was because of the weed,” Tucker said, according to Complex. “Because I said, man, that movie became a phenomenon. I don’t want everybody smoking weed and I never really told people this because I kind of forgot about it, but it was one of the reasons why I didn’t do it. Because I said, I don’t wanna represent everybody smoking weed.”
