We touched on some sensitive situations for this week's show on different levels. While the Boseman family has been mourning the unfortunate passing of their loved one, Chadwick, they are also celebrating a win for his brother, Kevin Boseman. Earlier this month, Kevin took to Instagram, revealing that he too had been diagnosed with cancer, but is happy to be in remission. Similar to Chadwick, Kevin said he initially did not share the news publicly, but felt this time of remission is something “to smile about” in a year full of so much tragedy. Chadwick Boseman was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in 2016 and still went on to give us some of the biggest films in black history, including Black Panther and Marshall. Chadwick’s final appearance all be in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, which is set to debut on Netflix on December 18th. Blessings to their family! On another unfortunate note, Hollywood actor Jamie Foxx's younger sister DeOndra Dixon who was only 36 years old. Dixon was named the Ambassador for the Global Down Syndrome Foundation in 2011 who also suffered with the disease. Our condolences and prayers go out to Jamie! Wow...it just don't stop. Dancehall star Beenie Man is reportedly recovering in a hospital after he fainted during his mother's funeral. A video was shared online, showing Beenie Man fainting into the arms of several men during the ceremony. Beenie's mother, Lilieth Sewell, suffered a stroke back in July and was hospitalized at the University Hospital of the West Indies for approximately two months. After her discharge, she passed away a few weeks later. She was 63. More prayers for Beenie man! FINALLY...on a lighter note, last week, rapper Saweetie started a viral social media debate about the Birkin, and a few well known celebrities weighed in. Many social media users began arguing that not everyone can afford Birkin bags, hitting back at Saweetie for claiming that men should be able to buy their girlfriend or wife the $15,000 bag. Another debate began circling social media about race and the ability for black rappers to afford numerous luxury handbags. This is based on the person and really what that person means to you. It's been a minute since music fans have settled in for a new Verzuz battle, but it's time to get ready for the next showdown: T.I. vs. Jeezy. The Atlanta rappers will face off on Thursday, Nov. 19, at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET on Instagram and Apple Music. This will be a difficult one? For the "HOT TAKE" topic this week the crew discussed 'why is it easy to meet the one...but not tie the knot?' Drop a comment on your thoughts!
