In the current times we're in, rappers, producers, and songwriters have faced off on Instagram Live for soundclashes of sorts. Going song-for-song, we've witnessed some of the greatest musical artists of our time duke it out to see who has the stronger catalog. Thankfully, these sorts of battles have sparked even more clashes of sorts, including among comedians.

Most recently, Michael Blackson and Mike Epps went face-to-face on Instagram Live and gave the people want they wanted -- a roast off. The two legendary comedians dished out jokes on each other. "Aye Mike, your mom is half coyote, half squirrel," Epps told Blackson. "Mike, your mom and your pops is the same n***a. Fuck you," Blackson quipped.
But in a matter of moments, they teamed up to troll the coronavirus pandemic as a whole. Mike Epps joked that it's gotten so bad in New York that the Statue of Liberty was rushed to the hospital while Michael Blackson joked that coronavirus is so big that it has Ebola jealous.
Even in the midst of all the roasting, Mike Epps and Michael Blackson did shower each other with flowers for the work they've put in over the years. Perhaps, we'll get to see them back on screen together soon. The last time they starred in the film alongside each other was for 2016's Meet The Blacks.

Snoop Dogg Recalls Getting Mac Miller To Appear In "Scary Movie 5"
Snoop Dogg tells Schoolboy Q about how Mac Miller “saved the day” by filling in a role for “Scary Movie 5”.
Snoop Dogg has brought back his beloved GGN web series to YouTube. It seems he’s currently unloading a vault of episodes he recorded some time ago because the questions asked in his new one with Schoolboy Q suggest it took place shortly after the release of CrasH Talk. The fact that Snoop asks Q to speak on Mac Miller would also make more sense if the interview occurred closer to Mac’s passing in September of 2018.
At the time, the TDE rapper preferred not discuss the loss of his close friend. “I can’t really talk about it. It’s hard,” he said. In Q’s place, Snoop offered a fond memory he had of Mac – the time they shot hilarious scenes for Scary Movie 5 together. “I used to fuck with that n****,” he said before explaining how the Circles artist ended up appearing in the 2013 movie (around the 10:35-mark):
“Mike Epps cussed Harvey Weinstein… walked out of the set… we didn’t have nobody to play the role, so I called all kind of n****s and Mac Miller picked up. I’m like Mac, I need you in this movie, cuh. He’s like what you need unc? That n**** showed up, we blew dope, n**** learned his lines and, n****, it was some classic shit. We did a movie together cause my n**** was there for me. I went through my Rolodex and wasn’t nobody answering… I needed to get the white boy because he had flavor! I fucked with him, man! And he saved the day, cuz! That’s what hip hop is about – to where it have no color to it.”
Mac also appeared on GGN back in 2013.
