Watch Full Interview

--------

TK Kirkland continued to speak out against the notion that an entertainer can be an industry plant. He emphasized the need to see African Americans who can greenlight a movie in Hollywood. The conversation shifts to Taraji P. Henson, who, despite having a successful career as a co-star, has not garnered much success as a leading actress, hindering her pay. Vlad advises that established artists like Henson should make their own films to exert control over budgets and their pay. However, TK and Vlad highlighted the fault was not entirely hers but partly her agency for underselling her as a costar and accepting a lower budget despite her being the glue to the movies she's in.
