Jada Pinkett Smith wants to “amplify” Breonna Taylor’s life and joined a rally at Kentucky State Capitol in Frankfort on Thursday to demand justice for her.

The “Magic Mike XXL” star was joined by her son Jaden and daughter Willow at the rally at Kentucky State Capitol in Frankfort on Thursday to demand justice for Breonna, who was shot dead while sleeping in her apartment in March, with her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker claiming three Louisville cops had walked in with a no-knock search warrant, making him assume they were intruders and gunfire breaking out, with over 20 shots fired, including eight at his sleeping partner.Speaking at the rally, Jada said: “One thing I want you to know i] that it does not go unseen that the revolution stands on your shoulders.

I want you know that we want to say thank you, because it is you standing out here that’s gonna keep shining a light on Breonna’s name.

And, what we need is justice for our sister Breonna and that’s why we are here today. And that’s why my family is here today. From one family to another – to Tamika [Palmer, Breonna’s mother], we wanted to come here, show her love and amplify your voice and amplify the life of your daughter.”

Common also spoke at the rally, and he urged for justice for Breonna.

He wrote on Instagram alongside a video of the speech: “Justice For Breonna Taylor Rally … We flew out to #Kentucky earlier today to demand justice for Breonna Taylor at a special rally that was organized by @UntilFreedom and Breonna’s Family.

“It has now been more than THREE months since she was murdered by police in her own home and still no justice. We must continue to speak out and speak up. For the rally, I wrote a poem dedicated to Breonna and Black Women everywhere. We Love you Breonna. (sic)”

Dj Tira Shows Appreciation To Women

DJ Tira is celebrating being an OG in the music industry after surviving the cut-throat industry for 21 years.

To celebrate this epic milestone, Tira has decided to bless fans with an EP that will probably prove why he deserves his title as possibly the best DJ in the country.

Malume who is the founder of Afrotainment has been celebrated for putting other artists on and introducing these talents to the country.

The producer opted for an EP instead of an album because having been in the industry as long as he has been, he knows how pointless it is to release a full body of work ‘that no one will listen to.’

Speaking to Daily Sun, he shared how important it is for him to release this album that has an impressive female-lead. It features artists such as Mampintsha, Idols runner-up Sneziey, Berita and many more.

“There have been some highs and lows and lessons along the way and I have worked with some of the best in the game to date,” he told the publication.

The country is currently marred with femicide incidents and people are calling for the abuse of women and children to stop. His EP features powerful female voices and shows appreciation to women.

“The EP is filled with songs that will be appreciated by women and they will relate to them, it is always nice to do music that will be enjoyed by ladies as Tira, loves and respects women,” he gushed.

Malume recently dropped a song which is part of his EP featuring Berita and is doing very well on the radio charts. A music video is loading!

Nigerian musician Burna Boy and Sho Madjozi got into a war of words on Thursday after the SA rapper blamed Burna for their remix suddenly being taken off of streaming services.

Sho claimed in a long Twitter thread that Burna and his label were responsible for taking down the remix of Stormzy’s Own It, in which she was featured.

“For those asking where the Own It remix is, after I got nominated alongside him for BET Best International Act, Burna Boy asked Stormzy’s team to take down the song immediately. Song was out for a whole month before that, no problem,” she said in the tweet.

Own It originally featured only Ed Sheeran and Burna. A remix featuring Sho was released in May, but has now been removed from streaming services.

Sho went on to explain that the song was coincidentally taken down just after it was announced she would go up against Burna and Stormzy and four other male international artists.

The John Cena hitmaker won the award for Best New International Act in 2019, and mentioned that she and Burna were cool last year at the awards. Which is why his alleged actions confused her.

“Well, I guess it’s a good sign if manna shook. Last year BB and I were cool at the BETs. I guess everyone thought this little girl isn’t a threat, now same category? It’s shaking.”

“In the words of the great Toni Morrison: ‘If you can only be tall because someone else is on their knees, then you have a serious problem.’ This world is full of bullies. If I leave any message at all from the life I’ve lived, I hope it’s to not be discouraged and to not be intimidated. To stay loving, kind and honest in the face of cruelty.”
