“Listen, let me just school you on something, young man," Terrence tells Marlon, who attempts to interject. "This ain’t all about your family, okay? Your family can’t bail you out of this one, alright. There’s other people in the world that are not Wayans’ people." Marlon, of course, is one of the members of the well-known Wayans family in Hollywood.
“Let me tell you something about family, I don’t ever need them to bail me out of nothing,” Marlon told Terrence. “They raised me. If you ever think I’m great because of me, you’re wrong. I’m great because of the tribe—you’re gonna respect the tribe." As they both continued to speak over one another, Terrence asked him, “you can’t talk to me for two seconds?”

“Nah, because you’re disrespecting the culture.” Marlon replied, after asking the host to name another family that has done what the Wayans have done in Hollywood. “Get off of Keenan Ivory Wayans’ lap for just two seconds,” Terrence told him, referring to Marlon's older brother. "Bro, some of us have to make it on our own, that’s all I’m saying. We can’t have our family to f*cking lifting us up all the time. Bro, some of us gotta make it on our own." They argued back and forth about wealth and hard work before Marlon tried to tell Terrence, "I just want to talk intellectually for a second and now the wine is talking and I’m trying to have a conversation with you." Terrence did not budge, though, declaring that, "the Wayans family ain’t got it like us" before the screen-recorded clip ended.
Tons of folks had a lot to say about this heated dispute, many of them taking the side of the Wayans' clan.
YK Osiris Says Fame Is Not A Blessing, Calls The Industry "The Devil’s Game"
YK Osiris shared a few thoughts on Instagram about how artists show off fake lifestyles for social media.
We live in a culture where an overwhelming amount of people strive to be famous. The titles of “social media influencer” and “content creator” went from being something only internet-savvy folks knew about to professional, eight-figure careers. You only have to scroll through any social media platform to see people branding themselves to be the next great singer or Instagram model, but YK Osiris dropped off a bit of advice to anyone seeking fame and fortune.

“This industry is not that you think it is,” the singer said on Instagram Live. “Don’t let these people fool you… Imma give y’all a little background with me. My life is not perfect. Don’t think because I’m on Instagram showing this, showing that. I don’t got a perfect life, either. And I want you to understand that just because all these rappers show all this money and show all this fame, don’t think they life is good. It’s not. These people always faking and [I want] to let y’all know that, this is not what y’all want. Do something that’s lowkey. Do something that [will] help you out.
It’s unclear what prompted YK Osiris to share his thoughts on the industry, but the 21-year-old has faced some legal trouble lately after a woman accused him of assault. “God can take this away from you real quick,” he added. “This is not a blessing from God. This is the devil’s game. It is not—this is not no God’s game.” Watch his video below.
Billie Eilish Once Questioned Jumping Out A Window In Berlin: "I Was So Unhappy"
Billie Eilish looks back on her darker days.
Billie Eilish’s life changed drastically at the age of 17, going from another teen raised in Highland Park, Los Angeles to a mega pop superstar who this year pulled in six Grammy nominations for her debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? Understandably such success at a young age can be a lot on anyone and Billie recently opened up to Gayle King on CBS This Morning on how the pressure and fame affected her.

“I was so unhappy last year. I was so unhappy, and I was so, like, joyless,” she said of her first year in the spotlight. “I don’t want to be too dark, but I genuinely didn’t think I would make it to 17.” Billie further explained one instance in Berlin where she questioned jumping out a window, leading her to tears in her hotel room. “I was alone in my hotel, and I remember there was a window right there,” she explained. “I remember crying because I was thinking about how, the way that I was going to die was, I was gonna do it.”
Having made it through to the other side, thanks to her mother and brother, Billie now wants to inspire her beloved fans. “I just grab them by the shoulders and I’m like, ‘Please, take care of yourself and be good to yourself and be nice to yourself. Don’t take that extra step and hurt yourself further and you can’t take it back,'” she added.
