We had a few, 'can you believe' moments this week that the ladies touched on! Cardi B tells her fans whether she's in the "Illuminati"...do you believe her? Social media went wild with the Illuminati accusations after Cardi B posted an image of herself dressed as a red horned devil. Cardi B is flaunting her single status since it was revealed that she had filed for divorce from husband Offset. That's why, lol! Love & Hip Hop: Miami star and Pretty Ricky rapper Baby Blue, has been charged and accused of using his coronavirus relief money to buy a Ferrari. Baby Blue was arrested Monday and 28-year-old Tonye C. Johnson of Pennsylvania for their roles in a $24 million COVID-19 relief fraud scam. According to the government, the reality television star received money for a Ferrari by falsifying documents to get a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan worth nearly $427,000. Got's to be more careful! Taraji P. Henson will help us heal with the launch of her new Facebook Watch show “Peace of Mind with Taraji.” Taraji has always been an advocate for mental health, and in 2018 she launched the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation. The foundation also offers mental health services to young people in urban schools. As of now, there isn’t a set premiere date, however it will be coming soon. You got to be here for this one!  On October 3rd, rapper, Waka Flocka received an honorary doctorate degree in philanthropy and humanitarianism. While he can’t diagnose your medical issues the new title speaks to work out in the field. Waka Flocka has leveled up in a way that few of his Rap peers will ever have...good for him! It looks like "HBO Max" is developing a post-civil rights era drama series about Essence magazine origin story.  The show will tell the story of a Black startup before “startup” was a term and explores universal themes of love, loss and the pursuit of the American Dream. ECI was founded in 1968 by Lewis, Clarence O. Smith, Cecil Hollingsworth, and Jonathan Blount. Essence Magazine began publishing in May of 1970, marketed as a lifestyle magazine for upscale Black women. This year marked the 50th anniversary of the publication. We got to check this out! For the "HOT TAKE" topic this week the crew discussed 'why men cheat on their pregnant wives?' Drop a comment on your thoughts!
