Estelle recently caught up with EBONY and discussed how today’s rap scene is home to several female rappers, as opposed to the long-standing idea that there can be only one dominant woman in the game at a time. The British-born singer/songwriter is known for mixing genres, such as R&B, reggae, or Afrobeats, but one of her first hits was a rap song. Although Estelle entered the music industry when it was thought that only one woman could dominant as a rapper, the 37-year-old said growing up she had many femcees to listen to. Now, she’s overjoyed at the options she has in artists such as Megan thee Stallion, Noname and Cardi B. “I was hoping for this day. I am so excited it’s here,” the Grammy winner said. “I have a choice. I can listen to at least five female rappers and just turn up; and it not just be the one that we’re being told, ‘Hey, this is the one this year.’” “In the same way, I can listen to five or 10 male rappers,” Estelle added. “Now … I want to see five to seven R&B or pop singers—Black girls or brown girls—and they’re all just amazing, and they all got records that I can relate to.” She said she hopes she can continue to use her platform “to continue the work of female artists being able to be out here in more than one place [and] in more than one iteration.” Watch the full interview above to hear how Estelle hopes to help women own themselves.

London-born singer Estelle recently spoke to EBONY about growing up with a Grenadian father and Senegalese mother, and how she presented that heritage in her latest album, Lovers Rock. Estelle, 39, attributed her can-do attitude to the strength of her matriarchs. “I was surrounded by African aunties my whole life,” she said. “All the women [were] very powerful.” Although her parents split up when she was 3, her mother was adamant about teaching her children about both cultures through food and music. The couple later reconciled and married some 20 years later , which is an underlying story on Lovers Rock. The 14-song project, released in September 2018, explores her parents’ relationship through a blend of music genres from across the African diaspora including reggae, soca and Afrobeats. Estelle said she was deliberate about collaborating with musical acts such as dancehall artist Konshens and Nigerian record producer Maleek Berry. “First of all, I wanted to work with people I was fans [of],” the Grammy winner said. “Second of all, it’s the core music. How am I going to chose who’s popping just for the sake of a record?” She added, “They’re all artists who make the music and come from the places that the music originated from. I think they are just as great and amazing as whoever is being popular appropriating [the sounds].” Estelle also spoke about London being an epicenter of Black culture because of many of her peers, including Grime rapper Wiley and DJ/actor Idris Elba, are first-generation Europeans. “We’re first generation and closer to our roots than a lot of the rest of the world,” she said. “My parents came to the U.K. in the 1960s and ’70s. … They have been back every year to Africa or the West Indies.” The “American Boy” artist believes “clear lineage” back to their motherlands is what has kept the cultures so embedded in the art that comes out of London.

Former NBA champion Metta World Peace, formerly known as Ron Artest, sat down with EBONY recently to discuss his upcoming Showtime documentary and stressed the importance of having access to affordable mental health care. “It’s called Quiet Storm. It’s the story about Ron Artest. I changed my name in 2011 and [the documentary] is about my early days in the league,” World Peace said of the Bleacher Report-produced project. “It goes through the evolution of my career starting out and getting drafted and situations that got me suspensions in the NBA.” Prior to changing his name, World Peace was known as one of the NBA’s most aggressive defenders. His polarizing personality led to him being involved in some of the most infamous on-court altercations in NBA history. In 2004, World Peace, then a star on the Indiana Pacers, was involved with what the New York Times referred to as the “one of the worst” brawls in sports history when his team played against the Detroit Pistons. World Peace’s former teammates Kobe Bryant and Jermaine O’Neal were among the participants in the documentary. Despite having access to the soon-to-be released project, World Peace revealed that he has not seen it yet. “I didn’t want to see the doc until it comes out. I did see the trailer and I did hear some things that Kobe said. I don’t know everybody that’s in it because I kind of want it to be a surprise to me,” he said. He unknowingly became a mental health advocate when he thanked his psychiatrist during a post-game speech after winning the 2010 NBA finals as part of the Los Angeles Lakers. “Back in 2010, when people weren’t really talking about those issues because the media back then was more critical of a celerity or athlete to come out and say ‘Hey, I need help,'” World Peace said. The former star, who left the league in 2017, shared his thoughts on the current state of the mental health community. “It’s a whole new movement now. Everybody’s more understanding of someone and more willing to help someone that’s in need from everything that’s involving mental health,” he wrote. While there have been many strides made toward raising awareness, the Queens native said, “We actually need more social workers and more funding for therapists, more funding for people that can’t afford those sessions because they are superexpensive.” Highlighting one particular program that offers cost effective assistance, he said, “There’s this school called the Chicago School of Psychology and they provide sessions for $15 an hour. They take the students that they’re teaching and after they go through that course, those students provide counseling sessions, which I think is very cool.” Quiet Storm: The Ron Artest Story airs Friday, May 31 at 10 p.m. on Showtime. Check out the trailer below.

Jada Pinkett Smith isn't afraid of sharing intimate details of her personal life.
The 47-year-old actress revealed on her Facebook Watch show, " Red Table Talk ," on Thursday that she had a threesome when she was "very young."
She responded to a question asked by a viewer and then read by her 18-year-old daughter, Willow. "I had a threesome once. I was very, very young. Like early 20s," she admitted.
“I didn’t like it. It just didn’t have the level of intimacy [I wanted]. But I tried it once and I was like, ‘Well, that’s not for me,’” the "Girls Trip" star added.
Pinkett Smith continued: “But I always think if I was in love with two people, that’s another level. I could see and join a threesome then, but I was a kid. I saw two cute people and I was like, ‘Hey.'”
Her mother, Adrienne Banfield Norris, who is a co-host on the show replied, “[It was] a sexual experiment.”
The episode features the three women meeting and talking with a "throuple" -- two women and a man who are all in a romantic relationship.
Pinkett Smith has a lot to celebrate lately. The entertainer won the Trailblazer Award at the 2019 MTV Movie & TV Awards on Monday night. She said in her speech, “Often we applaud the trails that people blaze in the external world that we can see, but very rarely do we applaud the trails that are blazed in the hidden rooms of the mind, that are full of uncertainty, false beliefs, and pain."
“It’s these eternal obstacles that must be challenged in order to muster the courage to forge new paths that we can see in the world,” she added. “Every last person in this room must do that at some capacity.”
“That means that every single person in this room is trailblazing, whether it’s within or without,” the wife of Will Smith. “So as you honor me tonight, I wanna honor all of you and I wanna say here’s to us for all of our trailblazing!”
New episodes of "Red Table Talk" drop Mondays on Facebook Watch.
