Polo G got the ultimate cosign for the Martin-themed video to his track, “Martin & Gina.”
Martin Lawrence himself sat down to watch the Reel Goats-directed visual himself and was beaming the entire time, as seen in a clip he shared to Instagram. In the caption, he shouted out Polo on a job well done as well as his co-star, co- median Pretty Vee.
“Y’all see this!?” Martin wrote. “It’s an honor to see young brothas doin their thing while paying tribute to the show. Much love to @polo.ca- palot and @yesimprettyvee.”

By the time she was a teenager, Brandy was an es- tablished superstar with her own popular coming-of-age show and was the first Black woman to play Cinderella on screen. In the beginning, fame was “pure joy” for her. But as she matured, Brandy said she began to feel trapped by her “perfect” public image.
In a new interview with PEOPLE published on Wednes- day (August 19), Brandy opened up about falling into a state of depression that led to her harboring suicidal thoughts. In 2006, the R&B singer was involved in a car ac- cident that claimed the life of a 38-year-old woman.

On Monday (August 17), Ri- hanna uploaded the clip of the political couple stepping off Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland and added her 2016 Grammy- nominated “Needed Me” to the scenario, delivering countless laughs and more than 12 mil- lion views.

50 Cent saw it differently, however, captioning “she don’t want to hold his hand. LOL #bransoncognac #leche- minduroi” with his reaction for his 26 million Instagram fol- lowers.

court with the woman's family, declined to speak about the ac- cident. But this, coupled with the fallout of some personal re- lationships, led to Brandy finding herself in a dark place, mentally. She credited the birth of her daughter, Sy’rai, in 2002 for being the turning point that saved her life, telling the publication, “If Sy'rai was- n’t here, I wouldn't be either. The place that I was in, it just felt like I wasn't going to make it through.”
