Several celebrities were trending on social media this week. Meagan Good was among those who garnered some attention after showing up to a playoff game between the Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals on Monday. Good turned some heads when she was spotted in a customized Rams jersey that read “Ms. Good If Ya Nasty.”
The phrase appears to be related to the star's relationship status. According to Yahoo, the actress had previously written, “Meag G, Mrs. Franklin~If Ya Nasty” on her Instagram bio. But after recently announcing her divorce, she switched out her bio to read, "Meag G, Ms. Good~If Ya Nasty." The phrase is inspired by Janet Jackson's 1986 single “Nasty.”
The Harlem star created plenty of buzz with her new slogan.
JAY-Z and his daughter, Blue Ivy, also made headlines when they showed up to the Rams and Cardinals game. The duo made a fashion statement at the event. While JAY-Z sported a black windbreaker and black bucket hat, his 10-year-old daughter wore a black baseball cap along with a black graphic T-shirt and clear-framed glasses, E News reports.
Fans continued to be stunned by the almost identical resemblance and style of the father and daughter.
It was another busy week for Kanye West, who appears to be back in the studio with Big Sean, French Montana, Pusha T, Pressa, Fivio Foreign and The Game. The rapper was also joined by Antonio Brown when he was spotted with other artists in Los Angeles, Hypebeast reports.
Ye showed off his latest work last week when he partnered with The Game to drop a new track titled “Eazy.”
Music fans are giddy with excitement after seeing the new trailer for the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show, which will feature Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar. Dr. Dre, who is directing the performance, was featured in the trailer texting the artists to bring them together for the Super Bowl halftime show at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood.
Straight Outta Compton filmmaker F. Gary Gray, who directed the trailer, said something amazing always happens when he works with Dr. Dre.
“Each time I collaborate with Dre, it seems to mark an important moment in entertainment history, from projects like Friday, Set It Off, Straight Outta Compton, to now the Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show,” Gray said in a statement, according to Rolling Stone. “As a super fan, I consider it an honor and privilege to authentically build and create this moment with five of the most legendary artists in music history. It’s been a blast!”
The Super Bowl will kick off on Feb. 13.
Iconic fashion designer Virgil Abloh, who died in November after having cancer, was honored at his final menswear show on Thursday in Paris.
"Virgil was not only a genius designer, a visionary, he was also a man with a beautiful soul and great wisdom," Bernard Arnault, chief executive officer of Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy, said in a statement, as Blavity previously reported.
Some of Abloh’s designs that originated from his partnership with Nike will be auctioned off at New York’s Sotheby’s, supporting the scholarship he launched to specifically help Black students.
Abloh founded a film studio with two friends shortly before he passed away. The studio, Architecture Films, released a trailer for a documentary that features track and field star Sha'Carri Richardson, Highsnobiety reports.
The Sub Eleven Seconds documentary will premiere at Sundance 2022 online. It will be available between Jan. 20 and Jan. 30. Abloh served as the executive producer of the film.
Showtime has also debuted the first trailer for a four-part documentary series that features Bill Cosby and the sexual assault allegations he faced. W. Kamau Bell’s docuseries, We Need to Talk About Cosby, will premiere at Sundance Film Festival later this month, Complex reports.
Gary Chambers, a Louisiana Senate candidate, caught some attention with his campaign video about marijuana. Chambers proudly lit up a joint in his video while making a case about the amount of Black Americans who are arrested for marijuana.
"Every 37 seconds someone is arrested for the possession of marijuana. Black people are four times as likely to be arrested for marijuana laws than white people," he said in the video. "Most of the people police are arresting aren't dealers, but rather people with small mounts of pot — just like me."
The candidate received support from numerous social media users.
The video has received more than 5 million views on Twitter.
"We knew it would create conversation, but we had no idea that it would be to this degree," Chambers said, according to NPR. "Which shows not that we are so brilliant, but that so many people care about this issue and that we should do something about it."
Anthony Mackie is making his feature directorial debut with a film about Claudette Colvin, the unsung hero of the civil rights movement, Deadline reports. Saniyya Sidney will star in Spark, playing the girl who was arrested when she refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama.
Colvin, who is still unrecognized by many, displayed her brave act nine months before Rosa Parks pulled off a similar act on a segregated bus.
Twitter is launching billboards in several cities to illustrate the power of its platform. The ad campaign shows an image of a celebrity alongside a giant photo of a tweet they made to manifest a dream of theirs.
One billboard shows Megan Thee Stallion's tweet from 2014 that said, "I need a team because I promise rap gone take off for me."
Many more athletes and film stars, including Issa Rae and Canadian actor Simu Liu, are also featured.
Perhaps there is a future star out there who's writing out their goals on Twitter at this very moment.
