Rumor has it that Janet Jackson and her billionaire husband Wissam Al Mana have decided to honor Janet’s late brothers Brandon (Marlon’s twin that passed away ) and Michael Jackson by giving their son the middle name “Michael Brandon.”

No one in the game right now is doing it for the culture like Chance the Rapper is right now (well, maybe other than his Auntie Yonce).

The crowds were huge, and it made for a moving moment. Chance himself even partici-
pated right along with them. TheChicagonativehasbeen active this election season, teaming up with the NAACP
