Man...this weeks show had some interesting things to talk about. Malik Yoba thanks fans for supporting after he reveals his attraction to Trans women, huh??  With shows like Orange Is The New Black, Star, and Pose, black trans women have been put in the national spotlight. Hollywood is embracing that community, but there is still a stigma connected to black men that are attracted to trans women. For example, G-Unit founder 50 Cent has been making fun of Young Buck, his former friend, for allegedly dating trans women. "Right Thurr" rapper Chingy claimed false rumors that he was involved with transgender celebrity Sidney Starr hindered his career. New York Undercover and Empire actor Malik Yoba took to Instagram to call out black men for perpetuating homophobia and transphobia. Check out what he has to say! In unfortunate news, Kevin Hart reportedly underwent successful back surgery following an accident that left him badly injured when the driver of his classic 1970 Plymouth Barracuda lost control of the vehicle and smashed into a ditch in Calabasas, California. Kevin Hart’s wife has assured fans the comedian is fine after escaping a nasty car crash this past Sunday morning. Prayers to Kevin!! Ben & Jerry's is taking on Criminal Justice Reform with a new flavor called, "Justice Remix'd."  Eddie Murphy is coming back to Saturday Night Live. The SNL alum has been booked to host the December 21 edition of the show’s 45th season. The legendary comedian’s return to SNL will be his first time hosting the iconic sketch series in 35 years. Murphy made a brief appearance at the show’s 40th anniversary special in 2015 but has otherwise boycotted it for decades. Long time overdue, Eddie. Now this is a crazy one!  Death Row Records has reportedly been acquired by the Hasbro toy company, the same entity responsible for several classic toys such as Mr. Potato Head, My Little Pony and G.I. Joe. Go figure that after Suge Knight gets locked up, a company like this aquires all them...wow! Also, one of the new hosts of Illastr8, 'Ms. T. Graye' had an exclusive interview with comedian and former host BET's "Rap City", Joe Clair (@joeclair) that can only be heard on Illastr8 Radio! Where back at it again next Wednesday with more of what you want!
