Meek Mill Shows Support For Jada Pinkett-Smith Admist August Alsina Scandal
Meek Mill has had his fair share of Twitter commentary as of late, exchanging words with the likes of DJ Akademiks, Tekashi 6ix9ine, 50 Cent, and more. However, this time around the Philadelphia-bred emcee is using his social media platform for good in support of the Smith family’s recent revelation that Jada Pinkett-Smith shared an intimate relationship with R&B artist August Alsina during an intense episode of her coveted Red Table Talk Facebook show. While Jada Pinkett had originally denied Alsina’s allegations that the two had been romantically involved, the 48-year-old actress/turned talk show host shared a moment of vulnerability and transparency alongside her husband, Will Smith, revealing that she and Alsina’s relationship exceeded mentorship while she and Will were temporarily separated.

With the masses on the edge of their seat during Jada’s big reveal, Meek Mill had also tuned into the debacle but had a surprisingly mature response to the scandal Tweeting,
“Jada being a woman and being real about her actions was refreshing to see a woman do in that type of situation!”
Unfortunately, the “Other Side of America” rapper’s mentions didn’t take to kindly to his comments as his mentions were left in shambles by his “fellowship.” Check out some of the responses to his Tweet below.
Completely unbothered the REFORM Alliance board member then went on Retweet Joie Manda’s statement regarding Alsina and Jada’s chatty patty catastrophe, which plainly reads, “No Will Smith slander,” before officially retiring his Twitter fingers for the evening.
Years ago, we probably wouldn’t have witnessed this level of growth from Meek Mill, but as the culture has been able to witness his maturation in real-time, maybe the 33-year-old has turned a new leaf and is ready for a relationship of Will and Jada’s magnitude. Only time will tell. Check out Meek Mill’s original Tweet in support of Jada Pinkett-Smith’s announcement in the post provided below.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 makes a stand for afrobeat against corruption on latest release Na Dem feat. Tom Morello.
Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 deliver a powerful afrobeat statement with “Na Dem,” Featuring Tom Morello and produced by Femi Koleoso. The track has been a fan favourite even before its official release, and comes with the unmistakable spirit of protest, truth-telling, and social accountability that have long characterized Afrobeat’s most impactful moments.
The song’s heart is a direct challenge to corruption and the abuse of power. Instead of singling out one profession or institution for its critique, “Na Dem” identifies a larger culture of dishonesty, targeting bad lawyers, bad doctors, bad politicians, and anyone who would sell their integrity for personal gain. The message is sharp and uncompromising and delivered with the urgency that has become a hallmark of Seun Kuti’s artistry.
The inclusion of Tom Morello adds another level of intensity to the record. His presence adds to the song’s rebellious energy, creating a powerful intersection between the rhythmic activism of Afrobeat and the confrontational edge of rock. The result of the collaboration is a track that is both timeless and of the moment.
The song’s dedication to principle is what rings true. The moral center of the record is Seun’s statement that he would never prostitute his conscience for money. It turns “Na Dem” from a critique into a declaration of personal values, responsibility, and resistance.

Marsha Bartenetti reinvents in her own style “New York Minute”
Marsha Bartenetti’s latest release, “New York Minute,” written by Don Henley, Danny Kortchmar, and Jai Winding, offers emotional depth, turning a timeless look at life’s fragility into a reflective, cinematic journey. Stephan Oberhoff’s arrangement perfectly frames Bartenetti’s voice, and Kevin Bate’s expressive cello adds a warm resonance that makes the track feel like a movie.
The way each instrument sounds makes it feel planned, which lets the listener stay in the fleeting moments the song so beautifully describes. Bartenetti’s singing is the best part of the song. She shows an openness that feels real, as if she has lost something and still fully embraces love and presence with complete honesty. Her choice of words and small changes in tone make the lyrics feel even closer.
“New York Minute,” is a new version that pays tribute to the original while showcasing Bartenetti’s own style. The movie-like instruments and heartfelt vocals make the song feel both personal and universal. It makes us think about how hard it is to let go and hold on.
