Listen To LeBron James And Kevin Durant's Secret Song "It Ain't Easy"
Leolah Brown Muham- mad, the sister of Bobby Brown, recently voiced her disdain with her brother’s BET biopic on Facebook, calling out the movie as “the fakest” she’s ever seen, arguing that the por- trayal of her sister-in-law, Ali- cia wasn’t accurate, nor was the portrayal of her former sis- ter-in-law, Whitney Hous- ton.

During the 2017 NBA Fi- nals, reports revealed basket- ball superstars LeBron James and Kevin Durant once collaborated on a song. Fans only got to hear a brief snippet of the track last year, but producer Franky Wahoo has finally unearthed the “It Ain’t Easy” rap cut on Sound- Cloud.
According to Wahoo, the song was recorded during the 2011 NBA lockout — though he mistakenly identified the time- frame as 2012-2013. He also claimed the track was going to be featured on the newly re- leased NBA 2K19 video game, but it didn’t make the cut for an undisclosed reason.
“Song was originally was recorded in 2012-2013 during the NBA Lockout,” Wahoo wrote on SoundCloud. “Kevin Durant & Lebron James Came to Spider studios based out of Cleveland OH, to record.

Terry Crews Settles Lawsuit With Agent Accused Of Groping Him
Childish Gambino Says After ‘This Is America’ Tour, This Is It
CHILDISH GAMBINO
In January 2018, Terry Crews filed a civil lawsuit against Adam Venit, an agent at WME, who allegedly grabbed the actor by the crotch and squeezed his genitals in 2016. Now, since the case opened at the top of the year, Crews and Venit have settled the lawsuit, the Associated Press reports. Venit’s agency, William Morris Endeavor, that was also named a defendant, confirmed the deal saying the lawsuit would be diminished.
Like many victims of sexual assault in the entertainment industry, the former NFL star waited to speak out about the
TERRY CREWS
encounter for fear of being
blackballed from Hollywood. Crews also appeared before the Senate Judiciary Commit- tee to stress the commonality of toxic masculinity, making him a prominent male voice in the #MeToo movement.
The Brooklyn Nine- Nine actor’s case was ini- tially thrown out by the Los Angeles Police Department due to the statute of limita- tions, which led him to file a lawsuit.
Crews has yet to re- spond to requests to comment but since tweeted “ACCOUNT- ABILITY” in response to Venit’s parting from WME.
Childish Gambino’s This is America tour, which launched last night at the Infi- nite Energy Arena in Atlanta, will be Childish Gambino’s final tour, according to Com- plex.
“Number one, if you’re at this show, then you know this is the last Gambino tour ever,” the rapper told the crowd, according to fans on Reddit who were in atten- dance. “I love you forever for supporting me and coming out for this sh*^.”
“Second, if you’re in here, that means you bought a ticket, so you don’t need to film this sh*^,” the rapper, who's
real name is Donald Glover continued. “Experi- ence this sh*^. This is not a concert. This is f*^*ing church. If you’re not here to celebrate life, if you’re not here to enjoy your time here, if you’re just here to hear your favorite song, you should go home right now and do that. I’m here to have an experience with y’all tonight, ya feel me?”
The show will make 14 stops across the United States and Canada, wrapping up on Sept. 30th, according to XXL Magazine. “This is America” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart when it was released in May.
Cicely Tyson will finally secure an Oscar this year. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced on Tuesday (Sept. 4), that the 93-year old actress would be one of the three recipients of 2019’s honorary class. Not only will this be Tyson’s first Oscar win — she was nominated in 1973 for her role in Sounder — she will also make Oscar his- tory as the first Black woman to receive an Honorary Award (and fourth Black person over- all), PEOPLE reports.
In a statement, Academy President John Bailey said, “Choosing the honorees for its awards each year is the happi-

nors’ work. And this year, its selection of five iconic artists was made universal acclaim by the Academy’s 54 spirited gov- ernors.”
Tyson grew up in Harlem, the daughter of Caribbean im- migrants, and kicked off her career in the entertainment in- dustry with a brief stint as a fashion model after being dis- covered by a photographer from Ebony magazine. She eventually made the transition to acting and would soon touch off a wave of success in that field with projects like Roots, Fried Green Tomatoes, and The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman.
