#BBB NEWS| WATCH: Tupac’s Highly-Anticipated Biopic Receives Official Release Date [PHOTOS/VIDEO]

With speculation surrounding the plausibility of a release date for the forthcoming Tupac biopic, All Eyez On Me, those attached to the film seek to place fans’ anxiety at ease.

According to Dominic Santana, who’ll portray Death Row Records co-founder, Suge Knight, the Benny Boom-directed film will be released on the “Dear Mama” rapper’s 46th birthday (June 16, 2017). On Instagram, the actor said they’re on track to meet the film’s debut, despite the controversy that has surfaced since dropping its trailer earlier this year.

“We’re all anxious for it to come out but people gotta remember it’s a major film and there’s a lot of process to releasing major films,” he wrote. “Because it was Tupac a lot of buzz was created word of mouth even while we were filming which usually doesn’t happen until a movie is about to come out. This was no regular movie so you’ve been hearing about it since we started.”

#BBB NEWS| BET Founder Bob Johnson Asks Black People To Give Trump A Chance

BET Founder Bob Johnson may have earned the proverbial raised eyebrow from Black Twitter when he asked African-Americans to give President Elect Donald Trump a chance.

The 70-year-old met with Trump Sunday (Nov. 20) at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J, where the two spoke about business. According to Johnson, he described the meeting as productive, and said Trump will offer “business solutions to social problems.”

The news of  Johnson’s plea to the black community on behalf of Trump may come as a shock, as Trump’s campaign has repeatedly and publicly used racist, sexist and xenophobic language. Johnson, who endorsed Hillary Clinton, said Trump’s business savvy maybe of use for the black community.

According to the whistleblower, most of the 2000 Nigerian prisoners were charged with drug-related offenses, some of which are punishable by death in China, and are subjected to torture on a daily basis. Specifically, prison officers shock prisoners with an electric device for up to two hours at a time.  The former prisoner said that such treatment has caused mental health problems for some prisoners.

#BBB NEWS| WATCH: Drake Shows Off His Awkward Dance Moves In Hilarious New Apple Music Commercial [PHOTOS/VIDEO]

However you may feel about Drake, one cannot deny the Views artist is multitalented. Whether its his singing, rapping or acting, Aubrey Graham can do it all, including make others laugh by making a fool of himself.

During Sunday night’s (Nov. 21) American Music Awards, where Drake was nominated for 13 awards, Drizzy also appeared in his first Apple Music commercial. In the clip, Drake is in the gym bench pressing. His friend, an equally swol dude then walks off camera and Drake is by himself to play whatever music he wants and obviously, he picks Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood.” Swift starred in an Apple Music commercial many moons ago  in which she was seen running on a treadmill singing along to Drake and Future’s “Jumpman” before falling flat on her face.

#BBB NEWS| Catholic Priests Now Have Indefinite Power To Forgive Abortion

Pope Francis, the first Jesuit pope who assumed the papacy in 2013, announces he’s extended all Catholic priests the power to forgive abortions (so long as women can feel ashamed over bodily autonomy, of course, and repent their wrongdoing).

Once considered a moral evil, procured abortions are still a “grave sin” Pope Francis maintains.

“I wish to restate as firmly as I can that abortion is a grave sin, since it puts an end to an innocent life,” he states. “In the same way, however, I can and must state that there is no sin that God’s mercy cannot reach and wipe away when it finds a repentant heart seeking to be reconciled with the Father.”

#BBB NEWS| Birdman Calls Off Negotiations With Lil Wayne In $51 Million Lawsuit After He Disses Him Again [VIDEO]

It was starting to look like Birdman and Lil Wayne were close to an agreement. The former Cash Money partners were reportedly settling their extensive legal battle, but Birdman decided to call off all negotiations regarding the lawsuit, after Lil Wayne pulled one last stunt dissing his former mentor.

According to TMZ,  sources close to the situation confirmed that both legal parties were one meeting away from reaching a deal, when Lil Wayne decided to slide one last diss in.

During Tunechi’s LA show earlier in November, the rapper changed around the lyrics in his single, “I’m Me.” The song originally had a line that shouted out his former label Cash Money, but Weezy subbed it out for a Jay Z  and Roc Nation shout out, in light of his strained relationship with his former mentor. Wayne followed that subtle diss by saying “Suck my d*ck!” at the same show, according to video footage.
