The Rewind with Jus Nik, keeping you informed on everything that happened in the culture this week:
Nia Long:
Nia Long sparked dating rumors with B2K singer Omarion. Nia responded online and said she’s single AF, but when Omarion was asked if they’re dating, he said “you never know.”
On the flip side, Nia held back tears when asked about her devastating split from ex-fiancé Ime Udoka after his cheating scandal. Take a listen to the interview:
Dwyane Wade:
In court, Dwyane Wade defended legally changing his daughter Zaya Wade’s name, who identifies as transgender. Dwyane’s ex-wife, Siohvaughn Funches, filed a petition against her and wants her daughter to wait until she’s 18. Siohvaughn also claims Dwyane wants financial gain and violated their custody agreement. Dwyane has full custody, and although he must discuss “the major decisions,” it doesn’t say he needs approval for any medical decisions over their children. They head to trial next week.
Keke Palmer:
Keke Palmer accidentally may have announced she’s expecting a baby boy while on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. She said her baby would either be a Pisces or an Aries, then she described characters of zodiac signs and said she didn’t want to be too blunt for her baby boy.
Mike Tyson:
Mike Tyson is facing a $5 million civil suit after an unidentified woman accused him of rape in the 1990s. The lawsuit was filed under New York’s Adult Survivors Act. Mike hasn’t responded as of yet.
Black History:
Marvel Comics enlisted Chicago writer, scholar, and organizer Eve L. Ewing as the first Black woman to write a Black Panther comic. Hollywood legend Angela Basset made history by giving Marvel their first Oscar nomination for a marvel movie for her role in Black Panther. Rihanna earned her first Oscar.
