Nicki Minaj grifting for a Trump gold card has been circling the rumor mill for the past few weeks. As she cozies up to the maga movement many have speculated that it was all about her citizenship. While that may be true, our guest co-host JBversustheWorld think it's more to it than that. Could pardons for two of her close family members be at play, too?Speaking of Nicki Minaj, Kanye West is back in headlines as he offers a new apology to the Black and Jewish communities. Should he be forgiven? Is his mental state to blame? If so, how much? Does the apology exonerate Mr. West? We dig into a bit of legacy, forgiveness, and our personal feelings.While we're on the subject, Is it time for Black Folks to jump back into the political arena? If so, how far should we get involved? Can we afford to stay on the sideline? Lastly, we talk about the newest Marvel hero to hit the MCU, Wonder Man. Instructor BK absolutely loves the first four episodes of the show. He gives a spoiler free review as to what the show actually accomplishes and what the vibes are. In that same breath, every corporation has it's 'thorn in the lions paw' and for Disney that looks like shows with black leads, writers, and female directors. Is Disney actively ignoring the greatness of most of their black and female lead shows? How much does the algorithm play a part in these issues? Is it the small minority of the people with those shades? You know the shades we're talking about. #Marvel #Wonderman #NickiMinaj #KanyeWest #MCU
