Show #210 - Good Signs
There were some good signs this week on the entertainment and philanthropy front. Akon has finalized an agreement for 'Akon City, ' which will reportedly be completed in 2025. Akon claims the city will be built on a 2,000-acre land gifted to him by the President of Senegal, Macky Sall. The new city would also trade exclusively in his own digital cash currency called AKoin, he said. Since he's stepped away from music, he has been doing some BIG things behind the scenes! Fox television announces new streaming service ‘Fox Soul’ which will be aimed at Black viewers. Fox Soul will ”aim to celebrate black culture and highlight the real topics that affect the everyday lives of the African American community through frank and insightful dialogue with local and national influencers. The free streaming channel will be a combination of original new programs and existing shows from local Fox stations. Fox Soul currently hosts live original programming Monday through Friday, with prerecorded content from existing shows on Fox stations available on demand. Some of the channel’s original programs include “One on One with Keyshia Cole,” “On the 7 with Dr. Sean,” “The Tammi Mac Late Show,” “Out Loud with Claudia Jordan,” “The Mike and Donny Show,” and “Fit and Fab with Elise Neal.” Wow! Former R. Kelly associate Azriel Clary has been reunited with her family! In a photo posted on Monday (Jan. 13), Clary, her parents, and other family members all donned white t-shirts and sky blue jeans for a fun-loving photoshoot that clearly shows that the connection was an important one for her. Taking control of her narrative since leaving Kelly’s Trump Tower Chicago home, Clary has been transparent about her evolution. Good for her and her family, FINALLY!!! On Monday (January 13), the D-O-Double-G, Snoop Dogg unveiled the signature sandwich, which is appropriately called the Beyond D-O-Double-G. The catch? It will only be available until January 19. In addition to the sandwich, Snoop and Dunkin’ Donuts are also launching an exclusive pop-up merch store called The Beyond Collection by Dunkin’ x Snoop. It will feature limited-edition apparel such as a green tracksuit inspired by Snoop’s outfit in the latest Dunkin’ commercials. The "Illastr8 HOT TAKE" this week is a good one, 'annoying tactics men/women use to get out of arguments?' We do this like non other...until next Wednesday!
