If you're a basketball fan, you have probably been keeping up to date with "The Last Dance" which is ESPN's documentary about Michael Jordan and the 1997-98 Bulls. The first four episodes have been incredibly entertaining and with six episodes left, we are surely about to see some interesting revelations.
According to Arash Markazi of the Los Angeles Times, Episode 5 will be particularly bittersweet for NBA fans as it contains an interview with none other than Kobe Bryant. As Markazi explains, Kobe's interview was filmed all the way back in July and was only put together a week before his death, on January 26th. With the circumstances surrounding Kobe in mind, it has been revealed that Episode 5 will be dedicated to Kobe.
Kobe was a huge Michael Jordan fan growing up and once Bryant made it into the league, the two had a solid relationship that lasted until Bryant passed away. In fact, MJ spoke at Kobe's funeral and said a piece of him died when Kobe was killed. With this in mind, we can only imagine what kind of stories Kobe shared during his interview and we can't wait to watch it.
Episode 5 will air on Sunday, May 3rd at 9 PM EST.

According to Variety, the premise of Wahl Street will simply be a day-in-the-life series that shows the many sides of Wahlberg’s career, from actor and entrepreneur to his personal life and the people within it. As an added bonus, each episode will also feature many entrepreneurs, inventors and aspiring business owners that will be pitching Mark on new opportunities in an attempt to gain his endorsement, almost sounding like a Shark Tank-style component thrown into the mix. The official HBO Max description says “viewers will learn about his successes and failures and glean powerful business and life lessons while also getting to know the cast of colorful characters that make up Wahlberg’s real-life entourage.” In short, we probably can expect this to play out a lot like Entourage, the hit HBO fictional series that was loosely based on Mark Wahlberg’s rise in Hollywood, except this time IRL. Let’s just hope Post Malone makes a cameo appearance in at least one episode!
Wahl Street officially began filming in December 2019. Unrealistic Ideas, Wahlberg’s production company alongside Stephen Levinson and Archie Gips, will serve as executive producers in addition to Liz Bronstein.
Tekashi 6ix9ine’s Kidnapping Explained In Detail In New "Infamous" Episode
Episode 5 of “Infamous: The Tekashi 6ix9ine Story” podcast traces the riff between Nine Trey members, Harv and Shotti, sparked by Tekashi’s career.
Previously on Complex and Spotify’s Infamous: The Tekashi 6ix9ine Story podcast… Angie Martinez narrated how the FBI surveilled the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods and eventually took down many of its members, including Tekashi himself. On this week’s episode, titled “Heavy Is The Head”, we “look at the split inside Nine Trey itself.”
The primary riff that the episode tracks is that between two Nine Trey members, Kifano “Shotti” Jordan and Anthony “Harv” Ellison, who both wished to benefit off of Tekashi’s rising career. Once the godfather of the gang decided that Shotti would handle the rainbow-haired rapper’s affairs, Harv became resentful. The tension between Shotti and Harv ultimately led to Harv kidnapping Tekashi.
Not long after the incident, Tekashi went on Angie Martinez’s Power 105.1 radio show to discuss his kidnapping. At the time, he didn’t mention that Harv was the one who conducted it, even though he was well aware of this. As revealed in court, during the abduction, Harv had pressured Tekashi into relinquishing his status as a Nine Trey member. Harv disapproved of how the social media star had dodged the traditional initiation process and managed to obtain a relatively high status within the gang. He ended up handing over hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry to satisfy Harv before fleeing to a hospital. Tekashi and Shotti planned to put a hit on Harv, but little did they know that the feds were right on their tails at this point. Find out what happened by listening to the full episode below.

Historian and activist Abdur-Rahman Muhammad spearheaded this journey into justice, starting from asking the proper questions to even working on clearing the names of those originally convicted of the crime. The latter portion is getting help from the Innocence Project, a non-profit dedicated to exonerating wrongly convicted people, which is currently partnering with the Manhattan D.A.’s office.
Here’s the official statement from the DA office, CNN:
“District Attorney Vance has met with representatives from the Innocence Project and associated counsel regarding this matter,” Manhattan DA spokesman Danny Frost said in a statement. “He has determined that the district attorney’s office will begin a preliminary review of the matter, which will inform the office regarding what further investigative steps may be undertaken.”
Speaking on behalf of Muhammad Abdul Aziz, one of the men convicted back in 1966 along with Khalil Islam and main suspect Mujahid Abdul Halim, The Innocence Project showed gratitude to the district attorney with the following statement from co-founder Barry Scheck: “Given the historical importance of this case and the fact that our client is 81 years old, we are especially encouraged that Mr. Vance has assigned two highly respected prosecutors, Peter Casolaro and Charles King, to work on this re-investigation.”

He spent the past few years away from the spotlight and now he is opening up about why he had to do this.
Seasons‘ fifth episode, titled “The Dark Season”, explores the various health issues that Bieber has had to deal with. It starts out with 25-year-old talking about how history of drug addiction. “There was a time when I was sipping lean, popping pills, doing Molly, shrooms, everything,” he says. His substance abuse took such a toll on him that he reached a point where he felt “like dying.” “My security would come into my room at night to check my pulse,” he details. “People don’t know how serious it got. It was legit crazy, scary. I was waking up in the morning and the first thing I was doing was popping pills and smoking a blunt and starting my day. It just got scary.” This served as a turning point and led him on his road to sobriety.
While Biebs is off the drugs, he is still struggling with Lyme disease and Epstein-barr, a virus linked to mono. Both of these ailments have caused him a drastic decrease in energy levels, and necessitated various tests and treatments. After all these heavy topics, the “Yummy” singer ends the episode on an inspirational note. “I’m committed to getting better and committed to doing whatever I have to do, whether it’s inconvenient or not, because I know ultimately it’s not only for me,” he states. “Being the best me is gonna help me be the best husband, the best father, the best friend that I can possibly be. And for all the fans that want to enjoy the music that I make. I can’t do it if I’m not healthy. I haven’t been healthy for a long time.”
