Lizzo wins an Emmy for Watch Out For The Big Grrrls

The Emmys, the most important award in the USA for television and streaming, were presented in Los Angeles. In addition to “Successione” and “Ted Lasso”, pop star Lizzo was also honored for her talent show “Watch Out For The Big Grrrls”. In it, Lizzo seeks dancers for her world tour. The singer cried in tears at the award: “As a child, I just wanted to see someone in the media who looked like me. Fat like me, black like me, beautiful like me.” If she could go back in time, she would say to little Lizzo: you will see this person, but you will be this person. Her Emmy delight was largely devoted to the Big Grrls of her show. Their stories aren’t that unique, but fat women just don’t get the platform, Lizzo says. Their stories should be told more.

Pilot Project: Basic Art Income for Irish Artists

The Irish government pays 2,000 artists basic artistic income. In the pilot project, musicians, actors, authors and dancers, among others, will receive 1,300 euros per month for the next three years. They were drawn from a pool of 9,000 candidates, regardless of the individual’s financial situation. The basic artistic income is paid out on a prorated basis every week. In addition, artists can earn additional money and are entitled to social benefits. All they have to do is participate in a study. This is how the success of the basic artistic income must be evaluated. The pilot project is part of the “COVID Recovery Plan” in Ireland. This should allow the cultural scene to recover from the pandemic of recent years. The project was initiated by a task force led by the Irish Minister of Culture, Catherine Martin. She says that basic art income has the potential to fundamentally change the way art and creativity are supported. You would also recognize how important the arts sector is to people.

Rapper Mystikal faces life imprisonment

Mystikal could face life imprisonment. The US rapper was accused of rape in Louisiana. He has been in custody since the end of July. The 51-year-old is said to have suffocated, raped and locked a woman in his home after an argument. Several drugs are said to have been found on him, such as marijuana, methamphetamine and heroin.

Mystikal became famous around the 1940s. He was nominated for several Grammys with his him Dirty South Rap. He works with Snoop Dogg, Mariah Carey or Pharrell Williams. His famous songs are “Shake Ya Ass” or “Danger”. After that, he was more on the front page because of his crimes than him. He has been a registered sex offender for about 20 years. In 2004, Mystikal was sentenced to six years in prison for rape. The next rape allegation came in 2017 and the lawsuit was dropped due to lack of evidence. Due to his criminal record, he is currently unable to get out on bail. So far, Mystikal has not commented on the allegations. His attorney for him says the charges mean nothing and he can’t wait for him to come to court someday.
