    Onsite! Exclusive: Cast Of ‘Power Book III: Raising Kanan’ Talks About Drawing Inspiration From Nicki Minaj and Denzel Washington To Perfect The New York Accent While Filming

    Onsite! caught up with members from the cast of Power Book III: Raising Kanan to discuss season 3 and what’s in store for the upcoming season. Hailey Kilgore, London Brown, and Malcolm Mays discussed the character development the audience can expect to see in the new season as well as how they were able to perfect their New York accent on a personal level.

    Brown revealed that he drew inspiration from Denzel Washington, reflecting on his training working with a dialect coach.

    Brown, who portrayed Marvin Thomas in the hit series confessed,

    “Just my little version of the New York accent developed from me being a fan of Denzel. I would do an impersonation of Denzel, so I kind of had the idea of it. But then, also, we had a great dialect coach and he really kind of like, I think, fine tuned whatever we kind of came in with.”

    “And then of course, you listen as much as you can,”

    he added.

    Kilgore, who played Laverne Thomas also known as Jukebox, chimed in on the discussion giving credit to Nicki Minaj as the inspiration behind her New York accent despite the dialect coach advising the cast against everyone sounding like the Southside Jamaica, Queens rapper.

    The actress revealed,

    “I did the opposite of what Doug, our vocal dialogue coach told us to do. He gave us examples and was like whatever you do, I cannot have everybody sounding like Nicki Minaj. Honestly, like, watching her documentary and stuff, that’s how I like, it was, the speech pattern. Not only is it like the dialect but it’s also like a pattern.”

    She went on to thank Minaj for the inspiration.

    Mays, who played Lou-Lou in the Starz series, delve deep into the conversation as he differentiated the accents of each borough in the state.

    He said, adding to Kilgore’s statement,

    “As Hailey said, there’s a rhythm to how you sound. I think we got blessed because the Queens accent is so specific, and some of the other regions or other boroughs they have their own accents but they’ve evolved over time.”

    “Queen, Brooklyn, y’all sh-t kind of entrenched. It’s been like that for like 20 years.”

    Brown chimed in adding that the Bronx’s accent is profound, in which Mays agreed, saying,

    “The Bronx is heavy but because of the Spanish influx. Everybody’s immigrant influence, whoever’s moved into that space changes the inflection.”

    “A lot of mob dudes [were] in queens, so if you notice, Queens dudes kind of speak a little slower than other boroughs. Harlem talks really fast, Brooklyn, their register is a little lower, the Bronx sound like they just [have] gravel in their body, it’s different,”

    the actor continued.

    Noting the slight difficulty on being able hone in and differentiate the dialect from each borough, Mays expressed gratitude for the amount of support the cast has gotten.

    Power Book III: Raising Kanan season 3 premieres on Dec 1 only on Starz.

  • Pushing P(etty): 50 Cent Makes Petty Plea to Buy REVOLT After Diddy’s Ouster

    Pushing P(etty): 50 Cent Makes Petty Plea to Buy REVOLT After Diddy’s Ouster

    Alexa, play F^ck Around and Find Out!

    That’s likely the newest jam to be on heavy rotation over at Sean “Diddy” Combs’ crib as several companies and business enterprises drop him left and right following explosive claims of abuse against multiple women.

    Now Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has activated his pettiness and entered the chat by tossing his coins into the Diddy dust-up. The Power star and producer has offered to buy REVOLT TV after Diddy stepped down as Chairman, TMZ reports.

    “I’ll buy that from you play boy , for the low because you know Cadillac and AT&T gonna pull out,” he wrote. “I’ll give you a few dollars for it now! Sell it to me, then we can be friends … Im serious call.”

    According to the outlet, REVOLT is playing it safe by temporarily putting Diddy in the distance of the network he founded, announcing that the 54-year-old would no longer serve in leadership.

    The company stated through Instagram, “While Mr. Combs has previously no operational or day-to-day role in the business, this decision helps ensure that REVOLT remains steadfastly focused on our mission to create meaningful content for the culture and amplify the voices of all Black people throughout this country and the African diaspora.”

    Diddy’s “Dirty” Deeds

    Earlier this month, Diddy’s ex Cassie, set things off with a lawsuit accusing the music mogul of damning abuse claims, sex trafficking and prostitution. The case was settled within a day. Two other women have since filed claims under the New York Adult Survivors Act. In fact, One woman, alleged that Diddy and 90’s R&B singer Aaron Hall took turns raping her circa 1990-91.

    While Fiddy is probably just trolling the Bad Boy executive because Diddy’s house of cards continues to crumble, he is however, known for being the resident social media pied piper of petty.

    When the abuse claims came down like an avalanche last week, 50 Cent got ready and got set to sound off on Diddy a.k.a “Brother Love” over the sexual assault allegations. And his followers egged him on.

    “Damn brother love, brother love, brother love, you out here looking 👀CRAZY AS A MF. LMAO @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi”

    Then on Monday, 50 started up his antics again by posting old 2007 Screamfest footage of Diddy playfully slapping Jay-Z on the backside, with the caption:

    “20 machine guns, only get 10 months, Diddy in the back, pattin on N—as butts,” he wrote. “Nah I ain’t wit it, I ain’t never been wit it.”

    Fiddy stay Pushing P. Pushing PETTY, that is!

  • 50 Cent Will Not Be Charged For Throwing Mic That Wounded A Fan

    50 Cent Will Not Be Charged For Throwing Mic That Wounded A Fan

    50 Cent mic-throwing case will no longer stand as the victim who sustained injury is yet to file criminal charges against him. So, for now, the coast is clear, and the Power actor does not risk going to jail.

    Genesis Of the 50 Cent Mic-Throwing Case

    In August, 50 Cent was ready to serenade fans with his infectious tunes at the Crypto.com Arena in LA. The rapper had been touring the country and giving a rundown of his musical achievements in his Final Lap Tour. But during his L. A stop, he encountered problems while on stage.

    “Fiddy” became frustrated after struggling to make audible sounds with his mic. This led him to throw it into the crowd. The clip captured by a TikTok user and later plastered on TMZ showed a 50 Cent mic-throwing episode twice. At first, he condemned the mic by almost smashing it a few feet away from him. But on the second attempt, the Candy Shop rapper forcefully launched it into the crowd.

    Besides showing anger, 50 Cent inadvertently aimed his throw at a target on the second attempt. Unfortunately, the mic smashed into Bryhana Monegain’s head. Its impact resulted in a lacerated forehead and other injuries.

    Monegain, a staff member of Power 106 radio, turned to the authorities. She filed a felony report, which was rendered to the L A County D.A.; however, it was shoved to the L.A. City Attorney’s Office.

    Rumors Reveal There Is No Case

    City Attorney’s office in L.A. says there is no criminal charge against 50 Cent at the moment. They assured the press that there will be no future filing unless the rapper doesn’t dabble into controversial issues that can spring up lawsuits.

    This would make anyone believe that 50 Cent and Bryhana settled out of court. Still, the authorities have assured that the case file will remain open for a year. During that time, it will undergo review as they will observe the future occurrences between the rapper and the victim.

  • 50 Cent and Scar Lip Take Fans Through a Deep Dive into How Hip Hop Culture and Violence Connect

    50 Cent and Scar Lip Take Fans Through a Deep Dive into How Hip Hop Culture and Violence Connect

    50 Cent and Scar Lip are two notable names in the rap or hip-hop industry. Despite their generational differences, the pair have consistently delivered original content. Naledi Ushe, a USA Today staff member, took the time to interview these icons. Ushe asked the rapers realistic questions about the connection between hip-hop culture and violence. Here is what they had to say.

    50 Cent and Scar Lip Discuss Hip-hop and Violence

    Naledi Ushe’s heart-to-heart conversation with 50 Cent clarified a notable myth about the rap industry. The Power star, who has also built a line of reputable businesses through his art, debunked the myth that rap culture heavily influences violence.

    He further explained that the things people rap about are being depicted on screen in what are now considered iconic productions.

    Adding in a confident tone, 50 Cent said, “There’s no rap record that has done more damage than the movie Scarface… than Godfather, Goodfellas.”

    However, he acknowledged that some segments of rap music are more inclined towards spitting hard facts than others. Then, he cited drill music as an example.

    Scar Lip Believes Rap or Hip-hop is a Reflection of the Society

    Scar Lip stayed true to her name, mentioning that her rap songs are reflections of her environment and reality. The 22-year-old told Ushe that she raps about what she has seen and lived. She also added that nobody should hate rappers for being honest.

    In her words, “So when we rap about guns when we rap about killings… the environment that we’ve been placed in. You can’t be mad when someone is rapping about things they’ve experienced.”

    50 Cent’s proficiency remains top-notch. The 48-year-old rapper is a jack of all trades, mastering rap music and venturing into other arts like TV production, acting, and various other businesses.

    On the other hand, Scar Lip is a young and talented rap star who found fame last year after her song “Glizzy Globber” became an internet sensation. She is currently signed to Epic Records and has not slowed down since her moment in the spotlight.

    50 Cent Says He Becomes ‘Defensive’ When Women Ask Him To Buy Them Things

    It looks like 50 Cent has become extremely candid about his relationships after he revealed that he becomes defensive when a woman requests things from him. During a recent discussion on BET’s The Wine Down With Mary J. Blige, the rapper-turned-TV exec revealed that although he doesn’t mind treating a woman, he doesn’t appreciate it when a woman asks him for things because it makes him appear as a

    “sucker.” 

    He said,

    “when a woman is asking me for things, then I’m like ‘Oh, you think I’m a sucka.’” 

    50 Cent went on to discuss the ways in which he likes to wine and dine his lady. He said,

    “when she comes and she’s just cool [because] organically, I’ll want to do those things and then I’ll start to do those things and it’ll be cool because she ain’t never ask me for nothing.” 

    Mary J Blige seemingly agreed with the rapper saying,

    “if she doesn’t ask you, you can read the energy.” 

    The executive producer went on to be in accord with the singer as he replied to her,

    “right…she came with those intentions, with that intent.” 

    “I believe when a woman is around me, she is a reflection of me,”

    50 Cent added.
