Loren LoRosaCORRESPONDENT
That's what they were getting to.
Loren LoRosaCORRESPONDENT
Now, uh, the Da Vinci situation also came up.
Loren LoRosaCORRESPONDENT
You guys know Da Vinci is a part of the Power Universe.
Loren LoRosaCORRESPONDENT
Uh, and 50 Cent, they were having a conversation about-
speaker_0UNKNOWN
No, he's not.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
That was a thing.
Loren LoRosaCORRESPONDENT
Let's get into the clip.
Loren LoRosaCORRESPONDENT
So he brings in Da Vinci, and they're talking about people being canceled and, and, you know, how f- or, and/or not, how 50 Cent doesn't back away from people like, you know, DaBaby.
Algee SmithGUEST
Lifetime.
Algee SmithGUEST
Was Da Vinci in there too? Or no, is that the wrong one?
Gina ViewsHOST
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Gina ViewsHOST
That one was a My Life depiction of the song.
Hollywood NickyHOST
Pause.
Hollywood NickyHOST
Y'all know who Da Vinci is? Yeah.
Hollywood NickyHOST
Yeah.
Hollywood NickyHOST
Actor in a few movies.
D StrongGUEST
I didn't know who
Sonny D504GUEST
he was before that.
Hollywood NickyHOST
I watched BMF, and he was in a lot of TV shows, so I knew who Da Vinci is.
Hollywood NickyHOST
In fact, I owe him.
JabHOST
See, the nigga was right.
ShanHOST
Talking about Da Vinci? He was right.
ShanHOST
We're going to get to that in a second.
ShanHOST
We were
ShanHOST
Some of his, you know, guests, we get like, you know, viral clips.
ShanHOST
Sometimes we don't.
ShanHOST
But he interviewed Da Vinci and Da Vinci is...
ShanHOST
Wait,
Mimi BrownCORRESPONDENT
Now there's been an arrest.
Mimi BrownCORRESPONDENT
And BMF actor Da'Vinchi is facing backlash over his comments about Black Americans and slavery.
Sean EvansADVERTISER
However, the story is much bigger than, like, Caucasians have enslaved Caucasians.
Sean EvansADVERTISER
White people have enslaved Black.
Mimi BrownCORRESPONDENT
He is facing murder, attempted murder, assault, and several other charges.
Mimi BrownCORRESPONDENT
Police are still investigating.
Mimi BrownCORRESPONDENT
[upbeat music] And BMF actor Da'Vinchi is facing backlash over comments he made about Black Americans, including what he had to say about slavery.
Mimi BrownCORRESPONDENT
It happened during a conversation with Cam Newton on his Funky Friday podcast.
Deontay KyleHOST
[laughs] Man, they, they doing that a lot outside, man.
Deontay KyleHOST
All right, so to have a biblical name like Abraham and just say, "You know what? I'm going Da Vinci with my shit." [laughs] Now, I'm gonna get phone calls about this because [coughs] Da Vinci did come to my, um, birthday party in New Orleans.
Deontay KyleHOST
Um, [clears throat] we work with some of the same people, but [sighs] when has that ever mattered to me? I'd rather deal with the phone calls than avoid the truth.
Deontay KyleHOST
So I- let's just be honest about this and what happened.
7 MINS LATER
Deontay KyleHOST
Every time you get to play American characters like Southwest T from BMF.
Deontay KyleHOST
Who would you be if it wasn't for Southwest T? Who would you be if it wasn't for an American drug dealer having such an impact on American culture, that it gave you a role 20 years after his demise? 20 years after one of the most prolific RICO cases we've seen in American history, the Black Mafia Family, it afforded you a role to become a, a, a, a semi household name.
Deontay KyleHOST
Because I don't, I don't know if I would know who Da Vinci is without BMF.
Deontay KyleHOST
So, without Southwest T, a Black American.
Angela RyeHOST
Just read the comment.
Andrew GillumHOST
No, but why do his words matter, though? Because he's an actor? No, because people would have platformed in their 20 mics.
Andrew GillumHOST
And because people have a platform, we have to respond to it.
Andrew GillumHOST
And I don't ever think I speak for a culture, but I can speak for people who are tired.

Bakari SellersHOST
And it's like, what sense does this make? Like you've encapsulated the experience and the fight of the ancestors all the way forward to this point.
Bakari SellersHOST
So that you could, I don't know, feel a little better about yourself.
Bakari SellersHOST
And maybe that a Hollywood producer fetishizes an accent from Europe and a black actor, and therefore they work harder than American born actors.
Bakari SellersHOST
That's just silly.
Mimi BrownHOST
Police are still investigating.
Mimi BrownHOST
[upbeat music] And BMF actor Da'Vinchi is facing backlash over comments he made about Black Americans, including what he had to say about slavery.
Mimi BrownHOST
It happened during a conversation with Cam Newton on his Funky Friday podcast.
Mimi BrownHOST
It started with Da'Vinchi talking about independence.
Mimi BrownHOST
He said some Americans, quote, "incompetent for a really long time," pointing to adults who can't do basic things like their own laundry.
Mimi BrownHOST
The conversation then turned to Black Americans.
Mimi BrownHOST
Cam Newton brought up a tension that has existed within the Black community: the idea that some people from the Caribbean, Africa, or the UK look down on Black Americans.
Mimi BrownHOST
Da'Vinchi said he thinks that does happen, but then the conversation went even further to slavery.
Jesse ColemanPANELIST
So
LolaHOST
do we have time to go talk about Da Vinci? We got
Jesse ColemanPANELIST
time, we got time, we got time.
Jesse ColemanPANELIST
Okay,
LolaHOST
so quickly, we're going to talk about Da Vinci.
LolaHOST
Da Vinci, he played Terry in BMF, and then he also had parts in All-American.
LolaHOST
He was a football player.
LolaHOST
Okay, I didn't see that.
HaleyHOST
There is.
HaleyHOST
So I wanna start talking about Da Vinci.
HaleyHOST
Actor Da Vinci, he recently went on Cam Newton's Funky Friday podcast.
HaleyHOST
If you are not familiar with his name, he plays Terry Flenory on BMF.
HaleyHOST
Um, he's Young Meech's brother on the show.
HaleyHOST
[smacks lips] So their conversation started when Cam asked why British and other overseas actors keep landing American roles, and Da Vinci said some producers probably just prefer an overseas actor because they're going to be more locked in on the work and less worried about being a celebrity or an influencer, AKA he called us very lazy.
HaleyHOST
[smacks lips] He went ahead and said that people in higher positions don't feel like they can trust the American work ethic, and he said we baby our kids, and that we've got people at 25, 30, 35 who can't do their own laundry, and he was taking care of himself at eight years old.
HaleyHOST
First of all, what eight- eight year old is fully capable of taking care of themselves? Like, please be for real.
