Twitter reacts to the long-awaited first look photos from “Coming 2 America” that premieres on Amazon Prime Video on March 5th 2021 …

FINALLY!
By now, you’ve probably seen the dazzling array of first look photos from highly anticipated movie-of-the-moment “Coming 2 America” set to exclusively release on Prime Video March 5th, 2021.
The star-studded sequel stars Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall, Jermaine Fowler, Leslie Jones, Tracy Morgan, KiKi Layne, Shari Headley, with Wesley Snipes and James Earl Jones. Also starring John Amos, Teyana Taylor, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Paul Bates, Nomzamo Mbatha, Bella Murphy.
Yep, literally everybody.
Entertainment Weekly shared several of the first production stills, along with an exclusive interview with Craig Brewer.
It’s 30 years later and Prince Akeem is preparing for life as a king… There’s trouble on the horizon with a neighboring country because of something Akeem did or did not do in the first movie.
And he finds out that he has a son in America that he did not know he had. He has three daughters with Lisa (Headley) and now there’s this blended family that is happening. Prince Akeem now needs to be a king and have children of his own and find out how to rule his kingdom with these old laws. He’s got some problems he’s got to figure out and he’s got a little bit more depth in this particular one.
According to EW, Jermaine Fowler plays Akeem’s newly discovered side seed and Leslie Jones plays his mom.
Brewer also opened up about witnessing on-set moments between Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall back in the old familiar barbershop.
Kenya Barris is one of the most powerful men in entertainment, and we’re sitting there on set and when Eddie and Arsenio walked into the barbershop as the old barbershop characters, we giggled like school children. [Laughs] We just dropped all sense of maturity and decorum. It was like, “Can you believe that we are doing this? Can you believe we’re at the barbershop? There’s Clarence [Murphy] for God’s sake!” And it was just infectious.
The crew grew up on Coming to America so they’re trying to be professional but they’re just trying to bite their cheeks so they don’t smile the whole time. And you’ve got to remember that Eddie and Arsenio haven’t done this in more than 30 years, and now they’re just cracking jokes and having a blast — and this is even after they’ve been in eight hours of makeup.
Are you excited about “Coming 2 America?” If so, what character are you most excited to see? Tell us down below and peep the best (and funniest) reactions to the first look photos on the flip.

Slim Thug Confronts Stalker Found Sleeping In His Garage

In a surprising and unsettling turn of events, Houston rapper Slim Thug found himself dealing with a woman he believes has been following him was discovered sleeping in his garage, suitcase included. Slim Thug shared this bizarre encounter with his fans on video, showing his discomfort and shock. He couldn’t believe that, as he tries to go about his daily life, he’s dealing with unexpected and unwelcome visitors due to his fame. “How did you get in here?” he asked the confused woman, expressing a mix of frustration and disbelief.
This wasn’t the first time Slim Thug had seen this woman. He recognized her from previous instances at his gym and other places he usually visits. What had seemed like random meetings turned out to be part of a concerning pattern that crossed personal boundaries. Her choice to invade his space and make herself at home was too much for him. “Why are you sleeping in my garage?” he demanded, clearly upset. “Stay away from me. This is just wrong.” For Slim Thug, this incident isn’t just a one-time scare.

Earlier in 2023, another woman was arrested for similar behavior towards him. While these incidents may sound dramatic, they highlight the difficulties that public figures face in balancing their lives and personal safety. Fans often view celebrities as larger-than-life figures, but situations like this remind us that they encounter real dangers, sometimes even more than ordinary people. Slim Thug’s calm yet firm response to this uncomfortable situation and his choice to share it publicly spark an important discussion about safety, respect, and the darker aspects of fame.
Even though the encounter didn’t turn violent, the emotional impact is real. Being famous can bring wealth and attention, but it also attracts unwanted attention and challenges, like Slim Thug just experienced. Hopefully, this unsettling experience serves as a reminder for everyone to respect personal boundaries, regardless of how famous someone may be.

Lil Wayne’s “The Carter VI” Misses No. 1 Mark With A Whimper

After two decades of being a major player in rap music, Lil Wayne’s iconic The Carter album series seems to be taking its final bow. His latest release, The Carter VI, launched with a lot of excitement but has made a surprising debut at No. 2 on the charts, which is the lowest opening in the series’ history, selling 114,000 copies in its first week. To put this in perspective, that number is still impressive for today’s music scene, but it falls short of the 116,000 copies that his first album, Tha Carter, sold back in 2004.
It’s a bit surprising that his original album, released during the era of CDs, outperformed his latest digital release. The Carter VI features a star-studded lineup, including artists like BigXThaPlug, Wyclef Jean, and Nicki Minaj. Yet, it hasn’t made the impact that fans or critics were hoping for. Even with an energetic guest appearance from Nicki Minaj on the track “Banned From NO (Remix),” where she takes shots at Jay-Z and Shannon Sharpe, it didn’t seem to change the album’s momentum. Wayne also tried to generate excitement by releasing a collaboration with Lil Baby and Future called “Momma Don’t Worry” just days before the album came out.

Although the track had strong lyrics and great production, it didn’t quite take off as expected. LL Cool J even added some classic flair by performing at Wayne’s event in Madison Square Garden, right before Wayne debuted his new song “Bells,” a fresh take on an old favorite. Despite having all the right elements for a classic release, surprise appearances, strategic promotions, and live performances, The Carter VI lacked the lasting impact that the earlier albums were known for.
Whether it’s because of listener fatigue, changing music tastes, or the heavy expectations of its legacy, this latest album feels more like a quiet farewell than a big final celebration. For fans, this marks the end of an era led by one of hip-hop’s legends, finishing not with a grand exit, but rather a soft goodbye. Nevertheless, Lil Wayne’s influence on the music world continues to be significant, even if his last Carter album didn’t quite reach the top. As this chapter closes, it’s evident that Wayne hasn’t lost his touch, he’s just come down a notch this time.
