Tyga Links With Megan Thee Stallion For New ‘Freak’ Video
'Atlanta' Season 3 Reportedly Put On Hold In Wake Of Coronavirus Pandemic
Tyga and Megan Thee Stallion have connected for his new single, “Freak.”
Tyga has been quiet this year. In late February, he re- leased the “Ayy Macarena (Remix)” featuring Ozuna. He also signed a multi-million dol- lar deal with Columbia Records in October, after releasing his recent music independently through his Last Kings imprint. Last year, he dropped his album Legendary, which included ap- pearances from Offset, J Balvin, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Blueface, Swae Lee, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and Gunna.
Meg, on the other hand, has been making headlines all over the place, largely due to her

in 2021, about three years after the sophomore season aired. On Thursday, the show's exec- utive producer Stephen Glover seeming responded to the recent postponement,

Yo Gotti And Team ROC Call On Mississippi DOC To Develop Coronavirus Prevention Plan

As the country struggles to keep up with the ongoing threat of the COVID-19 coro- navirus, Yo Gotti and Team ROC are taking action. Gotti has teamed up with the phil- anthropic arm of Roc Nation to demand the Mississippi Department of Corrections develop a plan to stop the spread of the virus, specifi- cally in regards to prisoners housed within the Missis- sippi State Penitentiary at Parchman.
"These inmates have been subjected to inhumane health and safety risks, and now have to deal with the uncer-

tainty and potential devasta- tion of the coronavirus, too," said Yo Gotti. "It is impera- tive that the Mississippi De- partment of Corrections
implement a plan within Parchman to provide the medical resources necessary to protect inmates that might be exposed."
Gotti has previously taken action against the Mississippi Department of Corrections with two civil lawsuits. He has continually cited the poor conditions at the infamous Parchman location, at which a number of inmates have died. In a press release, Gotti and Team ROC revealed that two additional inmates have died within Parchman in the last week, bringing the total amount of deaths to 26.
In only its second year, Made in Her Image — a nonprofit, in- cubator-based workshop that teaches short filmmaking, start to finish, to girls of color ages 8 to 18 — has given more than 200 prospective filmmakers the chance to see themselves in a profession historically reserved for white males.
“I didn’t look like what a di- rector looked like in the course books,” says Malakai, the founder of MIHI and a self- taught director who recently re- leased the short film “Souls”
and directed “Postmarked” for AT&T’s Hello Lab in collabora- tion with Lena Waithe.
Nearly a decade ago, and a few years out of Scottsdale Community College’s School of Film+Theatre, Malakai was working for a post-production house but feeling her potential was being wasted. “This isn’t a sob story,” she says. “It’s just something that I was always told — sometimes it was im- plied — that I should stick to the post-production track. So I fol- lowed that path.”
