The trailer for Taraji’s new assassin movie Proud Mary just dropped and listen to me when I tell you that the hood done raised a hitta, baby. Out the gate, we see Mary doing kettle bell push-ups off the side of a pull-out bed with a sloppy high bun to let you know it’s real. The first full minute of the trailer is Mary getting prepped and ready, covering herself in tailored black leather — the only thing a true hitta wears to take a mf out. Then we get to the accessories. Nothing goes with leather like a nice steel piece. Fuck a Prada, pass the Beretta and the keys to my Impala. Plus, Mary gotta O.G. closet full of wigs, circa Lil’ Kim’s Crush On You.
We may not get a lot of information about Mary’s background, who she’s after, who is after her, or what assassins eat for breakfast, but we get some good action shots. Taraji packing heat, sliding across factory floors, blowing shit up and taking Henny to the head. She went and stole Billy Brown from How To Get Away With Murder and even though he’s asking questions, he seems to be throwing bows. They even got Danny Glover hiding behind cars.
Proud Mary looks like the kind of action-packed, fast-paced thriller that I can get behind. With a bad ass like Taraji as the protagonist, I’m hoping to see this shine in the theaters. I’m sure the rest of our questions will be answered with time, including who in the hell does that little boy belong to? You got some kinda nerve asking grown folks who the hell they are. Mary may not be merkin’ kids, but forreal… we don’t know that, do we?
Proud Mary is set to hit theatres January 2018. Grab your black leather fuck me boots and get ready.

If you’re a Black man in entertainment, this is not your week. On the heels of the stunning revelation about R. Kelly’s cult, and the video of Kevin Hart being caught in a somewhat compromising position, a story has now surfaced that Usher has herpes.
The reason we know the singer’s otherwise confidential medical condition is because of a lawsuit RadarOnline unearthed, showing Usher reportedly paid off a stylist he infected with herpes. Allegedly, Usher was infected with the virus in 2009 or 2010 and “had rigorous unprotected sex without disclosing he was stricken with the rabid virus,” RadarOnline reported.
The site went on to say “a ‘greenish discharge’ once oozed from the performer’s penis, but otherwise he had no signs of the infection and was labeled an ‘asymptomatic carrier” by doctors’ After initially admitting concern to his partner, Usher — who’s worth a cool $180 million — later convinced her that an STD examination result was negative, and they continued to engage in unprotected sex.”
The victim reportedly believed Usher and continued her relationship with him until three weeks following a hookup, she “woke up ‘feeling very sick’ with a ‘fever of 100 degrees, chills, headache, and aches and pains.’ She “also developed lesions and blisters in her vagina,” and was so terrified she sought treatment at urgent care, where a doctor promptly diagnosed her with herpes.”
Usher reportedly posted a check for $2,754.40 covering her medical bills but “In a series of telephone conversations and online chat sessions, [Usher] has apologized for infecting [her] and told her he would take care of things.”
Taking care of things reportedly led to a $1.1. million settlement he paid to the stylist on Dec. 28, 2012. In 2015, Usher, walked down the aisle with Grace Miguel, a fact that leads to even more questions about the singer’s proclivities. So far, he’s yet to respond on the allegations.
