In late December, the internet was shook when it was learned that Joe Budden, co-host of Complex’s Everyday Struggle would be leaving the show. A lot of the fans, including myself, criticized the move, to the point that many anticipated the show’s ending soon in 2018. But that sentiment soon changed – sort of – […]
“It’s 2017 and people are still defending R. Kelly” That’s because it’s 2017 and people are still wasting their energy on what this man is doing.
