Marvel's Black fanbase is calling out the cinematic universe for its alleged maltreatment of Black-led projects. Wonder Man was recently canceled despite lead actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II receiving an Emmy nomination and a second season being in development. The Blade remake starring Mahershala Ali was also scrapped after years of delays. This cancellation joins a troubling pattern including the discontinuation of Luke Cage, Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur, Armor Wars, and Secret Invasion, alongside concerns about the sidelining of Black characters like Monica Rambeau and the new Captain America direction.

North West has pulled the plug on two of her upcoming tour dates, days before she was scheduled to hit the stage.

The official website promoting the Kimokawaii tour has been scrubbed from the Internet.

The Clark Sisters and Fred Hammond are headed to the Las Vegas Strip as part of a new gospel music residency. Nearly every story calls it historic or a milestone, as though the Holy Spirit had won something by landing in a casino district built to separate tourists from their money. Jesus spent much of His time warning people about confusing God with money. This residency is only the latest example of how Christianity in general, and the Black Church in particular, have twisted the Gospel. If there was one thing Jesus made crystal clear, it was that faith wasn't supposed to be a hustle. Today, you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference between Christianity and Cash Money Records. Christians have drunk the world's Kool-Aid and started believing that if the market validates it, God must have too.

The four-part series, executive produced by Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and directed by Alex Stapleton, earned a nod for best documentary or nonfiction series. Stapleton also received a directing nomination, while the production was recognized for picture editing.
