"If you're trying to make young music and you're not young, it's gonna be inauthentic and people can feel that." "I love what the Clipse are doing right now and how it's authentic to them..." — JAY-Z via The New York Times

In this 2018 interview with John Anderson, @jordanbpeterson spoke through tears about a simple, haunting truth: how little encouragement some people need to turn their lives around and how rarely they receive it. Following the recent update from @MikhailaFuller regarding Jordan’s health and his battle with akathisia and neurological injury, these words feel more poignant than ever. Jordan has spent years pouring encouragement into the lives of millions; now, we want to send that same strength back to him. John and the entire team here are praying for our friend Jordan and the Peterson family during this incredibly difficult season. If you are people of prayer, we ask you to do the same. #jordanpeterson #akathisiaawareness #prayerworks #prayer

Name a better interviewer in Mzansi than MacG. I’ll wait…

My baby brother has been on a call with a girl since 9 PM 🤣

What do you think is the single funniest moment in the history of TV?

We figured out that dad has a psych med induced neurological injury, and has been suffering from akathisia. It’s been 6 years since any psych medications. Last summer his symptoms started, after a flare up likely induced by mold (CIRS) and stress. It was complicated by pneumonia and associated sepsis a month later. It’s been horrible. Neurological injuries from psych meds are far more common than people know. I made this video to explain what they are and what akathisia is because they’re not talked about enough, they’re misdiagnosed, nearly impossible to treat, and hidden by the pharmaceutical industry. I don’t plan on making another update about my dad, it stresses my family out, and myself, and there’s nothing more to say about it until things get better. I will be jumping up and down about psych med injury awareness from now on as it’s impacted my health as well, and is devastating. Prayers are appreciated still.


Indeed, but clearly Pharrell really wanted to say Drake!




Nore reveals Pusha T called him emotional and couldn't get the words out when Pharell chose "BOTH' when asked to choose between Drake and Pusha. Pusha told Pharell to never do that again because 40 would've never picked him over Drake. "Why would our boy (Pharell) say that...40 would have never picked me over Drake."
