Another character named Malik is modeled after James' real- life childhood friend and busi- ness partner, Maverick

BRISTOW, VA – It appears Lil Wayne is feeling better about his role on the Blink- 182 tour.
Wayne threatened to quit the run on Thursday night (July 11), but has evidently had a change of heart. On Fri- day (July 12), Weezy hopped on Twitter to let his 34.3 mil- lion followers he wouldn’t be going anywhere.
“Yesterday was krazy!” he
tweeted. “But I want all my
fans to know I won’t be quit-

Fans He Won't Be
Lil Nas X Appears To Be Teasing Yet Another ‘Old Town Road’ Remix To Help The Song Stay At No. 1
Jermaine Dupri Has An Idea
Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” is still riding high, as it has claimed the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the past 14 weeks now. If the track makes it to 17 weeks, it will be the longest-running No. 1 sin- gle of all time. Now it looks like Lil Nas X has a trick up his sleeve to breathe new life into the track, which first hit No. 1 in April, and help keep it on top: He might be getting ready to release the long-awaited
To Make Up For His
Whether you’re a working mom juggling multiple respon- sibilities or an entrepreneur who is always on the clock – those with busy schedules know how difficult it is to make hitting the gym an everyday priority. That’s why we’re so grateful for Boris Kodjoe’s new fitness app, KOFIT, for bringing the gym to us.
The actor spoke at the 2019 Essence Festival about the app’s compatibility with on- the-go users. “The time factor is a huge deal for people,” Kodjoe explained on the Essence Fest Power stage. “We all have jobs. We all have fam- ilies. We have careers. We have stuff to do. We never find time

and-coming women in rap. “After all the calls, DMs, angry tweets and other mes- sages saying ‘I am a major gatekeeper in the hip hop world,why don’t I invest in a female who is out here hus- tling and making a name for herself?’ I decided to create the #SoSoDefFemalecypher, details coming soon,” Dupri
wrote.
That all sounds lovely. It
sounds like Dupri is ready to support them with his plat- form and his dollars, so long as they don’t rap about their vaginas.
BILLY RAY CYRUS AND LIL NAS X
Jermaine Dupri has been under fire for his com- ments about female rappers.
Dupri visited People TV on Thursday and expressed his disappointment in women in hip-hop. When asked if he had any favorite female rap- pers, Dupri replied, “For me, it’s like strippers rapping. As far as rap goes, I’m not getting who is the best rapper [...] Oh, you got a story about you dancing in the club, you got a story about you dancing in the club, you got a story about you dancing in the club. OK, all right.”
Hip-hop musicians and fans immediately called him out on his sexism. Cardi B defended her right to rap about whatever she wants to — and she’s had three no. 1 singles in her career so far, so people seem to dig it. She also shouted out some female rap- pers on the rise, including Tierra Whack and Rap- sody. If Dupri can’t recog- nize their talent, that’s on him.
But Dupri seems to be changing his tune on female rappers. He announced Fri- day that he’s planning to launch a cypher to uplift up-

The Resident Evil actor says KoFit is the solution that will help men, women and children
meet their fitness goals even when they’re strapped for time. “We wanted to keep it really simple – all you need is five to twenty minutes,” he tells the audience.
