Dayum!..
Can we say
“CHING CHING!!!!”
In unison please..
Power to the people. I am all for forward movement, but at what point did you chuckle at this?
As you stated and as we all know, Oprah has banned rappers. Suddenly she is down with Jay-Z, a well known million dollar brand name in and of itself, and now she uses him to promote her new channel.
What did you state again? That she banned rappers from her show?
Either she is making amends for her selfish ways or she is still selfish but realizes that help is still needed to promote her OWN fame.
Disclaimer: I am not Oprah bashing, but if you slapped someone who did you nothing, I would tell you that you were wrong too.
