Following the success of his cereal, Snoop Loopz, Snoop Dogg has revealed a new line-up of products in his Broadus Foods collection. In a video shared to Instagram, Snoop revealed Momma Snoop Breakfast Foods, featuring instant grits, oatmeal, maple syrup, and pancake mix.

“There was a void for our culture when they took ‘Aunt Jemima’ off the shelves,” said Snoop in the post’s caption. “We’re replacing it with ‘Momma Snoop’ pancake mix, syrup, grits and oatmeal adding diversity into the grocery stores industry and creating opportunities for minority-owned food products and brands.”

Snoop founded Broadus Foods last year, to honor the legacy of his mother, Beverly Tate, who died last year. Snoop named fellow rapper and businessman Master P as the company’s CEO.

“Our mission is to build economic empowerment and generational wealth,” added Master P in the post. “The more we make, the more we give.”

With his breakfast line, Snoop says in the clip that his plans for the breakfast line include “making it real easy for you to get up in the morning, get you something to eat, start your day off right. Somethin’ healthy, somethin’ generational, somethin’ from me and P, to you and yours.”

Over the course of the past year, Snoop has dipped his toes into a variety of business ventures. Back in February, he acquired Death Row Records, and shared plans to turn it into an “NFT label.“

Ahead of his upcoming album, Survivor’s Remorse, G Herbo stopped by Ebro In The Morning this past Friday for a very raw, intimate conversation. During their interview, Herbo discussed how he’s dealt with depression. Specifically, he emphasized the importance of opening up to people who can empathize.

“You don’t even know the support that you have until you open up and say something,” Herbo said. “It don’t have to be your family; it don’t have to be your closest friends. There’s people out there who just care because they understand what you’re going through.”

Elsewhere during the interview, Herbo opened up about losing his brother, who was fatally shot last year. He admitted that he turned to alcohol to numb the pain.

“When I started drinking liquor I was not myself,” he said. “I didn’t even know how to handle it being off liquor, because I was doing it to grieve.”

Last night, Herbo joined Nicki Minaj during her headlining performance at Rolling Loud New York. The two first collaborated in 2014, on Minaj’s underground hit, “Chiraq.” The two performed “Chiraq” to an audience who shouted back every word.

Kanye West made a surprise appearance at Rolling Loud New York this weekend. Last night, Ye joined Playboi Carti during his Rolling Loud set, and the two performed their collaboration, “Off The Grid” from Ye’s Donda album.

Carti and Ye have collaborated and performed together several times. Ye executive produced Carti’s most recent album, Whole Lotta Red, and Carti joined Ye earlier this year for a performance at his Donda 2 album release party.

This past April. Carti spoke with XXL, where he spoke about the creative process behind Whole Lotta Red, and shared how Ye has been a good mentor for him in his career. Carti spoke highly of Ye and credited him, as well as ASAP Rocky for helping elevate his career.

Words can’t describe…that’s my big brother. That’s my friend. I talk to Kanye every day. He’s different and I’m different. I see myself in him a lot and I’m pretty sure he feels the same. I don’t really have too many friends and that’s really one of my friends. I love him. I love ASAP Rocky. What them two guys did for me is… I love them and I appreciate everything.

Check out the performance above.

Arkansas and Texas A&M met on Saturday night in Dallas for their annual Cowboys Classic game in Jerry World, and this year’s edition featured two of the most bizarre plays that ended up determining the game’s outcome — both going in favor of the Aggies.

The first was a 97-yard fumble return touchdown from Texas A&M after Arkansas quarterback KJ Jefferson bizarrely chose to try diving over the line from the three, had the ball punched out, and then the Aggie defender (after seemingly getting stopped) flipped the ball to a teammate who ran it in for a score — which was followed by a botched extra point to leave Arkansas with a one-point lead.

From there, it was almost all Texas A&M for the next two quarters of play, as they took a 23-14 lead, but Arkansas clawed back to cut the deficit to two and got the ball back with six minutes to play needing just a field goal to take the lead. After driving deep into Aggie territory, a fumble set them behind the sticks and all they could do was set up an attempt at a go-ahead kick. Cam Little trotted out for the 42-yard attempt and proceeded to hit what looked like a pretty good kick that was drifting right and, ultimately, bounced off the very top lip of the upright and caromed back into the end zone.

The reverse end zone angle shows just how absurd the miss was, and how close Arkansas came to taking the lead.

With 1:30 to play the Aggies would’ve potentially had time to drive for their own winning score, but this ensured the result was an Arkansas loss as Texas A&M kneeled out the clock to preserve a narrow win. The Hogs will be kicking themselves for some missed opportunities in the game, but the wild fumble return and this kick will particularly stick out in the minds of Arkansas fans for a long time.

Post Malone has faced a series of mishaps while on his “Twelve Carat Tour.” A week ago, the “Cooped Up” singer injured his ribs after falling through a hole on stage during his St. Louis show. Still, Post managed to perform, while clutching his ribs, visibly in pain. Unfortunately, he is unable to perform at his Boston stop tonight, as he has been hospitalized.

Post took to his Instagram stories to share the news, saying, “I’m having a very difficult time breathing, and there’s like a stabbing pain whenever I breathe or move.”

He revealed to fans that he typically wakes up rather late during tours, and today, he woke up with cracking sounds on the right side of his body.

Post has not indicated whether his current injury is related to that which he sustained at the St. Louis show, however, he said the show will be rescheduled and that fans who purchased tickets for tonight’s show will be able to use them on the rescheduled date.

“Once again, I’m so f*cking sorry,” he continued. “I love y’all so much. I feel terrible, but I promise I’m going to make this up to you. I love you Boston, I’ll see you soon.”

Emmy Award-winning singer, rapper, and flutist Lizzo may soon be able to add another feat to her incredibly stacked resume. Next week, the ‘About Damn Time’ singer will bring her Special tour to the Capital One Arena in Washington DC. Ahead of the show, she received a special invitation from the Library Of Congress to check out their incredible flute collection.

“The @librarycongress has the largest flute collection in the world with more than 1,800,” said Carla Hayden, the Librarian Of Congress, in a tweet. “It incl Pres James Madison’s 1813 crystal flute. @lizzo we would love for you to come see it and even play a couple when you are in DC next week. Like your song they are ‘Good as hell.’”

Lizzo replied to the tweet, saying, “IM COMING CARLA! AND IM PLAYIN THAT CRYSTAL FLUTE!!!!!”

Lizzo has been playing the flute since she was 12 years old. On an episode of The Late Late Show With James Corden, Lizzo showed off some of her flute skills in the show’s “Carpool Karaoke” segment, and also revealed that she named her personal flute ‘Sasha Floot,’ in honor of Beyoncé’s alter-ego, Sasha Fierce.

Lizzo is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Over the past couple years, Kid Cudi has allowed fans to get a closer look at his life. Last year, he released a documentary called A Man Named Scott on Amazon Prime Video, which gave fans a look at his career from the release of his breakthrough single, “Day ‘N’ Nite,” to the present day. Earlier this month, he revealed that he has begun work on his memoir. Now, ahead of his upcoming 10th album, Entergalactic, Cudi revealed that he is learning how to skate again, and is taking lessons from a skating legend.

“Tony Hawk is gonna teach me to skate again,” Cudi said in a tweet. “Its gonna take awhile to find my footing but im f*ckin ready. Im documenting the whole thing. Come take the journey w me. First lesson today. Here we go b*tch.”

Though he did not reveal whether he’ll share the documented footage in the form of a full-length documentary or a series of videos, Cudi promises to keep his fans fed.

Cudi’s Entergalactic will arrive next Friday, and its accompanying Netflix special will be available to stream on the same day. In an interview with Rolling Stone, he shared his hopes for the project’s impact.

“I hope it just sprinkles a little love in their life. I hope it makes people feel really good,” Cudi said. “I hope people listen to it with their lover, or crushes or whoever and just vibe and connect with it and just go.”

Entergalactic is out 9/30 via Republic and will stream on Netflix the same day. Pre-save the album here.

The Woman King is proving to be one of the buzziest films of the year, as well as one of the most critically acclaimed. One of the film’s biggest supporters is SZA, who took to Twitter today to share that she rented out a theater in New Jersey.

“PLEASE GO SEEE ITTTT !,” she said in a tweet.

SZA herself won’t be at the theater, as she is performing at the Global Citizen Festival in Ghana. But no matter where she is, she is always looking to give back to New Jersey. Last year, she partnered with TAZO and American Forests to plant trees in neighborhoods affected by environmental racism.

“My grandma lives in Newark, N.J., and there are no trees anywhere,” SZA said in an interview with Elle last year. “Growing up around that area was definitely a downer.”

Viola Davis first discussed The Woman King earlier this year, during an interview with Oprah, which premiered on Netflix this April/

“Looking at all these young women who are a part of this story, I’m telling you, I see the future in a lot of these young girls,” she said. “The confidence they have, the work ethic they have, it made me feel so proud just looking at how they showed up every day for work, how they understood the assignment.”

It’s unclear exactly when those of us who didn’t attend the Toronto International Film Festival will be able to see get our eyes on Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. It’s due on Netflix, who forked over a fortune for it and its follow-up, right before Christmas, but the streamer is considering dropping it in theaters first, the month before. For now, here’s a (spoiler-free) clip that introduces you to the cast of maybe-murderers.

The clip, which is introduced by writer-director Rian Johnson, takes place pretty early on, with our gallery of potential rogues demonstrating their braininess by cracking a fancy puzzle box. (Not everyone is accounted for: Janelle Monáe’s Cassandra, the ex-business partner of Edward Norton’s Elon Musk-y tech billionaire, is AWOL from the clip.) They solve it together, over a group call, at which point they receive the following message:

“My dear friends, my beautiful disruptors, my closest inner circle: We could all use a moment of normalcy, and so you are cordially invited for a long weekend on my private island where we will celebrate the bonds that connect us, and I hope you puzzle solving skills are whetted.

“Because you’ll also be competing to solve the mystery of my murder,”

Included in the clip are Dave Bautista, Kathryn Hahn (alongside her on-screen husband Dallas Roberts), Leslie Odom Jr., Kate Hudson, Jessica Henwick, and Madelyn Cline. Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc pops up at the end, purring, in his Foghorn Leghorn accent, “Ladies and gentlemen, this invitation is not to be trifled with.”

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery — which may be getting even better reviews than the very acclaimed Knives Out — drops on Netflix on Dec. 22 and will (hopefully) hit movie theaters in November.

Netflix has invested heavily in sports documentaries recently, with looks at the Manti Te’o scandal and the AND-1 Mixtape Tour, but their next documentary figures to be the one that will draw the most attention, as the 2008 Redeem Team is getting documentary treatment with the majority of the major players involved in interviews.

On Saturday, a trailer for the documentary offered an example of the types of stories they’ll be telling, with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Carmelo Anthony, and Pau Gasol all discussing how Kobe Bryant decided to set the tone for the U.S.’s showdown with Spain by running straight through the chest of his Lakers teammate on the first play of the game — something he told his Team USA teammates he was going to do in the huddle before tipoff.

It’s a sensational story, with LeBron noting that none of them believed Kobe would do that and how that immediately set the tone — with Melo saying it’s exactly what they needed to show what competitive level they had to be at. On Pau’s side, he said he let himself get lulled into a false sense of security by Kobe coming over to hang out with the Spanish players prior to the game, doing all that brother talk before literally running through him to start the game.
