Just for fun! Because it’s Tuesday! Maybe you haven’t seen Halle Berry (who, as you’ll remember once famously made out with Lena Waithe) call Young M.A. “This my baby right here” — but I think you’re gonna want to?

With very little context, I have to assume this is in promotion of Halle’s new film this month Bruised (in which, again as you’ll remember, she will be playing a queer MMA fighter) which I’m pretty sure is going to make history as having the first all-women rap album soundtrack.

  2. The way M.A. reacted when Halle said that – same same same same sammmmmmmmmmeeeee 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣

  3. That Pete Davidson dildo article made me realize that I completely misunderstood “big dick energy” – so it means the energy of a person who HAS a big dick, not the energy of someone who ACTS like a big dick?
