Why? kelly“Rowland shuts down DJ for backhanded compliment and we can’t thank her enough for it.” Hot 97 DJ Peter Rosenberg found himself apologizing for asking singer-actress Kelly Rowland about how it feels to “play second” to her Destiny’s Child bandmate Beyoncé. If watch the video. It was nothing short of offensive and cringeworthy. Even though, Kelly kept her cool while replying to the radio host. The saddest part to witness was the look on young rising star Marsai Martin- The young producers face wore many displeased expressions.

Many decades after her brilliant and unsettling plays became seen Off Broadway, at regional theaters or, sometimes, not at all, the great playwright Adrienne Kennedy is making her Broadway debut tonight when her 1992 work Ohio State Murders opened at the newly renamed James Earl Jones Theatre. The acclaimed 91-year-old Kennedy was direct about why Broadway took so long: “It’s because I’m a Black woman,” she said, and one need look no further than Broadway’s other criminally late embrace – of Alice Childress and her wonderful 1955 play Trouble In Mind. “I’m thrilled that we’re seeing more of it. It makes me realize how little it was before. With a play like Ohio Murders, it’s not just about murder mystery, indictment or systemic racism and higher education with a country-…
