Boosie Walks, Burnies Talks
This week is #KingWeek but we also celebrate the Queens of Alpha 💚Kappa💗Alpha, Zeta 🕊Phi 🕊Beta, and Delta🔺Sigma🐘Theta Sorority. Here is a little gift from Boosie and... the kappas?? Plus Insecure is coming back!!!
Yes, Lil Boosie tried to perp last week when he wore a Kappa sweatshirt but has apologized. This won’t stop him from performing the Kappa shimmy at his next concert tho’. The bigger news is that he is touring in 2020 so get your 🎟. Dates here
Our good sister and close personal friend Abby Phillips of CNN put Grandpa Burnie, Uncle Joe, and our godmother Elizabeth Warren to the test as they duked it out in yesterday’s democratic primary debate. The quick highlights include -women shouldn’t be president-Uncle Joe likes Iran’s supreme leader,and Burnie Sanders is old 👴🏼(hot take he is lol).
