Get your weekly dose of pop culture news with my segment, Dose, every Friday. Dose is a weekly series that highlights various pop culture trends that I am interested in from music to fashion.


This week’s Dose features the Houston Hottie’s versatility in genres of music, and the opening weekend of a Little movie executive produced by a 14-year old black Queen from Plano, Texas.

Little is a Big Deal

Issa Rae, Marsai Martin, Regina Hall

The much-anticipated movie, Little, hits theaters today. Little is a film executively produced by and stars 14-year old Marsai Martin. Viewers may recognize this young talent from the hit sitcom Blackish on ABC as one of the twins, Diane. She has acted in other projects such as Fun Mom Dinner, An American Girl Story - Melody 1963: Love Has to Win, Lemonade Mafia, and Nina. Marsai is an unapologetic and great inspiration to this generation’s youth, this is seen throughout each project she does. Little stars Regina Hall as the older counterpart to Marsai, and Issa Rae as the personal assistant who becomes caretaker when the lead stars become her younger self (Marsai Martin). Check out the trailer and get your tickets today.


Houston Hottie Shows Versatility

Houston’s favorite hottie, Megan Thee Stallion has been on the rise as she crosses over to mainstream success. Early into the morning at midnight ET, the remix for Khalid’s “Talk” released featuring Megan Thee Stallion and Yo Gotti. This remix combination may seem random, but it fully delivers. Megan opens the track with some fire bars and lays some sultry vocals that lead into Khalid’s smooth voice. Megan Thee Stallion is solidifying her place in music as she shows her versatility in music. Hopping on this contemporary R&B hit is just a sneak peek of what we can expect from Megan Thee Stallion. Check out the remix; it is available on all platforms.
