Matthew A. Cherry’s Hair Love is an amazing and relatable story of an African-American father navigating the task of doing his daughter’s hair for the first time. The animated short film was released to positive reviews from critics and ended up winning an Academy Award in 2020 for the best animated short film. The story would go on to become a book and according to Variety, the project picked the best person possible to narrate.
Blue Ivy Carter, the child of Beyonce and Jay-Z, will narrate the audiobook for “Hair Love,” based on Matthew A. Cherry’s Oscar-winning short film.
Last May, it was released as a children’s book with illustrations by Vashti Harrison. Cherry’s short film — which he wrote, directed and co-produced with Karen Rupert Toliver — will also be developed into an animated TV show at HBO Max called “Young Love,” based on the characters from “Hair Love.”
Cherry announced the news earlier on Twitter with a direct link to the audiobook. This adds to Blue Ivy’s already-amazing list of accomplishments behind the microphone. Also, it’s amazing to see her narrate this story after the immature comments people made about her hair previously on social media.

Chrisean Rock Wins Boxing Match, But Second Round Forfeit Leaves Her Frustrated
Chrisean Rock picked up a win over Ku’Shiyah Williams over the weekend, but the result wasn’t the kind of fight she was seeking. From the first few seconds, Rock looked comfortable in the ring.
She showed her skills and quickly took control, making it difficult for Williams to respond effectively. By the second round, Rock was extending her lead on the scorecard. Williams finally gave up, and the fight ended before the scheduled end. The decision awarded Rock a technical knockout victory, another win to add to her boxing résumé.
Rock has been getting into boxing in recent months, having done a couple of fights for Zeus Network. These fights were far from professional contests, but Rock has made it clear her interest in boxing is more than occasional ring appearances. Washington had her opportunity over the weekend to take that route more seriously when she faced Williams.
The circumstances left the victory feeling a little incomplete for a competitor trying to test herself. Rock showed she could control the proceedings, but the early stoppage meant she never found out how she would fare against someone who could match her all the way.
But the result is a win for Rock as she presses on into a possibly more serious boxing career. Her next opponent is yet to be decided, leaving the door open for a different kind of challenge in her second fight.
It wasn’t the victory she envisioned, but Rock can chalk up the bout with Williams as a win for now. The next fight will determine whether she gets to fight someone who can push her even further.

Ari Fletcher responds to Stefon Diggs Rumors following Yung Miami fallout Allegations
Ari Fletcher is addressing a new round of relationship rumors involving NFL star Stefon Diggs and Yung Miami. Fletcher denies any romantic ties to Diggs or involvement in a fallout between the two women.
Arrogant Tae’s mother made the most recent accusations, taking to the internet to say Fletcher and Yung Miami had a falling out over Diggs. Fletcher, for her part, denied knowing the footballer and challenged anyone making the claim to provide evidence.
The disagreement adds to speculation that has previously surrounded Diggs and Yung Miami. The pair sparked dating rumors in December 2024 when they were spotted at the same Miami restaurant around Diggs’ birthday. Yung Miami later denied the rumors, calling herself “Young, Rich, outside, & single!!!!!” but did not confirm a relationship with the NFL star.
But even with the renewed debate, there’s no public evidence that Fletcher was dating Diggs or that she and Yung Miami fought over him. Fletcher’s response focused on that lack of proof. She made it clear she wasn’t interested in letting an unsupported allegation stand.
Diggs has been in a high-profile relationship with rapper Cardi B, with whom he has a child. TMZ has called Diggs Cardi B’s “baby daddy” in its coverage of the couple’s relationship. With relationship rumors swirling around several high-profile names, Fletcher’s take on this particular claim is simple: Without evidence, the allegation is just that: an allegation.
The latest controversy also comes as Fletcher continues to live life with her longtime beau, Moneybagg Yo. Her response, however, did not address the larger claims of an alleged feud involving Yung Miami, which have yet to be proven in the public eye.
