KeKe Wyatt Addresses Pregnancy Speculation And People Who Have An Issue With Her Reproductive Choices: “I Don’t Live Off Of The Government”

KeKe Wyatt is not pregnant. In an Instagram Live video Thursday, the singer, who was visibly annoyed by the speculation, shot down reports that she is expecting her ninth biological child.

“What’s funny is all of the people talking about congratulations,” said Wyatt. “All of the people who know me know that I would just say something.”

The “My First Love” singer believes that the rumors began swirling after she experienced a slight wardrobe malfunction on stage. According to Wyatt, the boning of her corset got bent during her ride to the venue, which resulted in a slight protrusion in her midsection when she appeared on stage.

“When it bends, it makes the stomach look bigger than what it is,” Wyatt explained. “It was in the dress and no, I’m not pregnant. I don’t want to be pregnant.

“So no, not pregnant here,” she went on. “Ain’t interested in being pregnant.”

While on the subject, the mother of eight also addressed people who make disparaging comments about the size of her family.

“I ain’t get no stimulus check. I ain’t get none of that. So, everybody that’s talking all of this stimulus check mess, I don’t live off of the government, baby,” she said. “I live off the Holy Ghost, my work, and my husband. We don’t need the government’s money.”

In January, Wyatt welcomed her eighth child, Ke’Riah Darling.

“My husband Zackariah Darring and I are so happy to announce that we are expecting our new bundle of joy,” the singer exclaimed in an Instagram post back in October. “We are excited to welcome the 10th addition to our beautiful family. Stay tuned for the release date & information for my new YouTube Series “The Keke Show” where you will see me balancing Wife, Mommy and Artist!!! Trust me.. it’s never a dull moment with my family.”

Wyatt is also the mother of two stepchildren.

TROLLHUNTERS Returns in 2021 in an All-New Animated Movie

https://nerdist.com/article/guillermo-del-toro-trollhunters-animated-movie-rise-of-the-titans-netflix/

Guillermo del Toro’s Trollhunters animated series became an instant sensation when it debuted on Netflix in 2016. It ran for three seasons and spawned a whole universe of shows in the Tales of Arcadia universe. That includes 3Below and the upcoming Wizards.  But in 2021, Trollhunters officially returns for an all-new animated movie on Netflix, titled Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans.

We don’t know which characters are returning for this sequel film, but we expect to hear much more about this project in the coming months. For now, all we have is this title treatment, which you can see below.

Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans title treatment

Netflix / DreamWorks Animation

Guillermo del Toro expanded the world of Trollhunters  into a whole a trilogy of animated series, which he then named Tales of Arcadia. The first extension of the Trollhunters universe was 3Below. That show focused on two aliens of royal lineage and their bodyguard. They make an escape from their home planet and crash land on Earth in Arcadia. This is the same location where Trollhunters takes place.

Trollhunters

Netflix / DreamWorks Animation

On the surface, Arcadia appears to be a slice of timeless Americana. However, it is no ordinary town. It lies at the center of magical and mystical lines that make it a nexus for many battles among otherworldly creatures. Among them are trolls, aliens, and wizards. Speaking of, Wizards will be the third series, uniting the three disparate worlds of trolls, aliens, and wizards.

The original Trollhunters featured a stellar cast, which included Kelsey Grammer, The Walking Dead’s Steven Yeun, del Toro’s Hellboy and Pacific Rim buddy Ron Perlman, and the late Anton Yelchin. Yelchin played the main role of Trollhunter Jim Lake Jr., through seasons one and two and parts of the third season. Emile Hirsch replaced Yelchin in the latter part of season three. It’s unknown if Hirsch and the others are returning for this film or if it will feature different characters all together. Johane Matte, Franisco Ruiz Velasco, and Andrew L. Schmidt are directing.

Wizards drops its first season of ten episodes on August 7. Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans debuts sometime in 2021.

Diversity In Comics Is a Mess

https://blacknerdproblems.com/diversity-in-comics-is-a-mess/

This Week In Nerd News, Victoria is off for the week as Keith and Mikkel talk about diversity in comics and just how little progress the industry has made, following reports of just how few People of Color have been hired and promoted by Marvel. To recover from the gloom, they discuss shows like Cinemax’s Warrior, originally conceived by Bruce Lee, that are doing entertainment right… even though few people are aware of their greatness.
