Super baddie Javicia Leslie made her highly anticipated debut as Batwoman aka Ryan Wilder in the popular CW show’s Season 2 premiere where she shined with impressive acting chops and explosive action scenes that sent the internet into a frenzy.

If you’re late to the party, she’s the first Black woman to rock the mask in a TV show or movie since the iconic character’s debut in 1939.

When the first look hit the internet, fans (and future fans) of the show went crazy over every single detail. The best part of Javicia’s portrayal of Batwoman is that it allows her to add her own style to the character, according to Hello Beautiful.

The costume, which is a collaboration between executive producer Caroline Dries and costume designer Maya Mani, is the perfect combination of Leslie’s portrayal of the iconic figure.

“I love the fact that Ryan is becoming her own Batwoman — it’s her style, her swag, and her moment,” said Leslie in a press release for the images. “It was an honor to be able to collaborate with Caroline and Maya. I felt it was important that viewers could tell by the silhouette that Batwoman was a Black girl. With the form-fitting suit and beautiful Afro, we definitely nailed it!”

Shortly after the stunning reveal, Javicia took to her Instagram to share her excitement with fans:

F1lthy Challenges DJ Akademiks to a Boxing Match After Controversial Comments on Playboi Carti’s MUSIC

HonkMagazine

The hip-hop scene is buzzing with excitement, and it’s not just about the music this time. F1lthy, a prominent producer who played a big role in Playboi Carti’s new album MUSIC, has thrown down a bold challenge that caught everyone off guard. This all started when DJ Akademiks, a well-known media personality, made some waves with his comments about the album’s launch, including some questionable claims about who was really behind its direction. Akademiks suggested that rapper Kendrick Lamar was the one creatively guiding the album, but F1lthy stepped in to set the record straight.

Instead of accepting the correction, Akademiks dismissed F1lthy, saying he didn’t even know who he was. For someone as influential as F1lthy, known for his work since Carti’s Whole Lotta Red, that comment felt personal. In response, F1lthy took to social media and issued a playful challenge, “You owe me a boxing match at Barclays Center.” Many fans are now excited about the idea of these two going head to head in the ring. Recently, it’s become trendy for celebrities to settle their disputes through boxing matches.

However, beneath this playful banter lies a more serious issue about how much respect producers deserve in the music industry. F1lthy has heavily influenced the unique sound of MUSIC, and his talent deserves recognition. While Akademiks may grab headlines with his commentary, it’s F1lthy’s beats that listeners truly enjoy. As the back and forth continues, it’s clear that their tension is far from resolved. Whether we’ll actually see a boxing match at Barclays Center is uncertain, F1lthy is ready to defend his name and fight for recognition.

He candidly points out, “I know that people might target me just because they’re upset with 50.” It’s a reality he’s learned to accept.

In the music industry, there’s an unspoken rule that being loyal can come with sacrifices. For Yayo, this often means dealing with conflicts from those who see him as closely connected to 50 Cent. Despite facing disrespect through feuds and insults, Yayo remains steadfast, refusing to let outside pressures influence him. Rather than feeling bitter, Yayo approaches his experiences with a positive mindset. He recognizes that loyalty can be costly. “There are no rules in this game,” he remarked, highlighting the unpredictable and sometimes harsh nature of the industry.

Yayo’s down to earth attitude is evident as he underlines the importance of perseverance. “I’ve faced a lot in this industry, and I just try to remain humble and keep pushing forward,” he shared. His strong mindset shows that while drama often grabs attention, it also reveals true strength. As fans of G-Unit know, the relationship between Yayo and 50 Cent goes beyond just music.
