Tony Yayo: Damson Idris Took Off After "Snowfall", Omari Hardwick Didn't After "Power"
In a recent interview, Tony Yayo reflected on the career trajectories of actors Damson Idris and Omari Hardwick following their breakthrough TV roles. Yayo praised Idris’s rise after *Snowfall*, highlighting his recent starring role in *F1*, the highest-grossing sports movie ever, and potential involvement in *Black Panther*. He credited smart management and strong agency representation for Idris’s continued success.
Conversely, Yayo expressed surprise over Omari Hardwick’s post-*Power* career, noting that while Hardwick delivered a standout performance as Ghost and had notable projects like a Netflix film with Jennifer Lopez, he hasn't landed a blockbuster akin to Idris’s recent hits.

Owen Hanson on Feds Busting Him for Trafficking 1 Ton of Coke, Facing Life in Prison
Owen Hanson recounts his dramatic fall from freedom after being caught trafficking nearly one ton of cocaine. Hanson admits his initial hesitation gave way to greed and adrenaline as he built a lucrative drug money-laundering operation spanning Australia and the U.S. His downfall began when undercover federal agents posing as money movers infiltrated his network, wooing him with seemingly legitimate business on a golf course. Hanson describes how the "too good to be true" 12.5% commission aroused little suspicion—until after a deal involving five kilos of cocaine, when he was warned he was dealing with the feds. Arrested in a dramatic swoop involving a helicopter and a staged golf outing, Hanson faced federal charges that he admits likely mean spending life in prison. Reflecting on his choices, he acknowledges the perilous mix of trust and risk that led to his capture and the crushing legal consequences awaiting him.

Aries Spears on Eddie Murphy Documentary Not Mentioning Him Picking Up Trans Woman
In a recent interview, comedian Aries Spears shared his thoughts on the new Eddie Murphy documentary, praising it as a must-watch for fans. While Spears enjoyed the film’s celebration of Murphy's talent, including a standout segment featuring Murphy’s iconic impressions via puppetry, he noted that the documentary conspicuously omitted certain controversial stories—specifically the rumored incident involving Murphy picking up a transgender woman. Spears confirmed that such content was clearly excluded, likely due to Murphy’s involvement and control over the project. The duo also reflected on Murphy’s career highlights, debating his top films like *48 Hours*, *Trading Places*, and *Coming to America*, with Spears categorizing Murphy’s early blockbuster years as his "Chicago Bulls" era versus his later "Washington Wizards" family-friendly phase. Despite some critics overlooking films like *Boomerang* and *Harlem Nights*, Spears emphasized their importance in Murphy’s filmography. Overall, Spears admired the documentary’s depth but acknowledged its selective storytelling.

Vlad Tells Trap Lore Ross Why He Doesn't Do Charleston White or G Herbo Interviews Anymore
In a candid conversation with Trap Lore Ross, Vlad opened up about why he no longer conducts interviews with controversial figures like Charleston White and G Herbo. Vlad explained that maintaining trust with his audience sometimes means prioritizing honesty over appeasing guests, but balancing that with valuable relationships is crucial. For instance, he stopped interviewing Charleston White after Boosie, a close friend, asked him to due to White’s disrespectful comments about Boosie’s children. Vlad acknowledged that while Charleston’s interviews drew millions of views, protecting important relationships took precedence.
Vlad also reflected on his history with G Herbo, noting their early collaborations helped boost Herbo’s career, but as Herbo’s fame grew, the artist distanced himself and spoke negatively of Vlad. Vlad emphasized that loyalty from artists is often fleeting and that creators must sometimes risk burning bridges to serve their audience authentically. He praised how peaceful resolutions, like turning public beefs with Ali Choppa into successful interviews, can benefit all parties involved.
