#BBB NEWS| WATCH: Idris Elba’s Cover of Desiigner’s “Panda” Will Make Your Day [PHOTO/VIDEO]

With “Panda,” at one point, being the number one song in the country, it’s likely that we’ve pretty much heard everyone rapping along to the catchy song. However, it’s very unlikely that we’ve heard it being covered in a Chipmunk voice – or would even want to. I think it’s safe to say Idris Elba has changed all of that.

After an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the Golden Globe award winning actor played a game called “Box of Microphones” with the television host. Following his selection of Desiigner’s “Panda” and a Chipmunk microphone, Elba went straight into song. And it’s gold.

Fallon and Elba closed the game with a rendition of Lionel Richie and Diana Ross’ “Endless Love.” I’m sure you can guess which one was Richie.

Watch it all play out below.

#BBB NEWS| Melania Trump Accused Of Plagiarizing Michelle Obama’s Speech

Melania Trump, wife of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, gave a speech during the first day of the 2016 Republican National Convention that bore striking similarities to a speech given by First Lady Michelle Obama in 2008.

The Trump campaign has denied allegations that Mrs. Trump knowingly lifted passages from Mrs. Obama’s 2008 speech, calling the accusations “absurd.”

But when one compares a portion of Mrs. Trump’s speech with the First Lady’s 2008 Democratic National Convention speech, the similarities between the two become apparent.

Mrs. Trump said:

“From a young age, my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond; that you do what you say and keep your promise. That you treat people with respect. They taught and showed me values and morals in their daily life. That is a lesson that I continue to pass along to our son and we need to pass those lessons to the many generations that follow. Because want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength to your dreams and your willingness to work for them.”
