The Rewind with Jus Nik, keeping you informed on everything that happened in the culture this week:
Dave Chappelle:
Dave Chappelle’s recent appearance on SNL drew criticism. The Anti-Defamation League said his monologue is “popularizing” anti-Semitism.
Roberta Flack:
The Killing Me Softly With His Song singer has been diagnosed with ALS and is currently in the hospital. The illness makes it hard for Flack to talk and it is now impossible for her to sing. A spokesperson for the Grammy winning artist says she still plans to embrace music and stay active in the industry.
Dionne Warwick:
The singer took to twitter to announce that she will be dating comedian Pete Davidson next with her status reading “tweeting it into existence.” This comes after it was officially announced that Davidson is dating model, Emily Ratajkowsi. He’s also dated names like Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande.
Mary:
Mary J. Blige has gone from writing songs to writing children’s books. The singer is now the author of “Mary Can,” a children’s book with an inspirational and motivating story about a young girl who proves that anyone can make their dreams come true if they just believe in themselves. Mary Can! will be released on March 28, 2023.
