Her By Government Name
Anderson .Paak, whose pairing with Bruno Mars as Silk Sonic recently netted the duo a Hot 100 No. 1 via debut single "Leave the Door Open," has signed a world- wide administration deal with Warner Chappell Music in partnership with Dr. Dre's Hard Workin’ Black Folks publishing company.

City Girls’ Yung Miami is beloved by her fans. The love and support are so strong that some of Yung Miami’s fans call her by her real name, Caresha. But it seems like Yung Miami isn’t rocking with everyone spitting out her government so freely.

Aziz Ansari’s ‘Master Of
None’ Season 3 Debuting
Michael B. Jordan Reveals Why Sylvester Stallone Is Not Returning For 'Creed III'
On Netflix In May
The much-delayed third sea- son of Netflix’s “Master of None” is coming next month, according to a tweet from the @NetflixQueue account.
“Master of None,” created by Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang, has had an unusual schedule, with the first season premiering in 2015 and Season 2 returning in 2017 — and now it’s been on hiatus for four years.
The season is expected to be a departure for the show, and it’s believed to focus on Lena Waithe’s character, Denise. Early reports about the third season indicated that Naomi Ackie (“The End of the F***ing World”) would join the cast.
In 2017, Waithe and Ansari won an Emmy for out- standing comedy writing for

the Season 2 episode “Thanks- giving,” which focused on her character’s struggles with her family. (In its first season, “Master of None” also won an Emmy for writing, with Ansari and Yang sharing the accolade.)
Michael B. Jordan will be making his directorial debut with Creed III. As fans welcome this change for the third installment of this film’s franchise, they will also notice the absence of Sylvester Stallone.
With the original film di- rected by Ryan Coogler, the Rocky spinoff has found huge success, earning Stallone an Oscar nomination for his por- trayal of Rocky Balboa, Adonis Creed’s manager.

"I think that Sly let it be
known that he wasn't coming back for this one but I think, you know, his essence and his spirit ... there's always going to be a little bit of Rocky within Adonis," Jordan stated in an interview with IGN.
Jordan continued, "Hope- fully you guys will love what I'm thinking ... what we're cooking up. I think it's going to be something special."
Creed III will hit theaters in November 2022.
