Hey, everybody! Hope you’ve been well. Sorry I took last week off. I was completely exhausted after completing a bunch of back-to-back assignments. But I’m back with another edition of Craig’s Pop Life, a Black gay excursion into pop culture. It’s giving content, hunny!
MUST WATCH
The Wine Down with Mary J. Blige
Kierra Sheard on The Terrell Show
At the very least, you GOT to hear her gospel-fied take on Harry Styles’ “As It Was.”
And for my SWV & Xscape: The Queens of R&B people, this convo between Kandi and show producer Mona Scott Young is #essential.
