Cardi’s Stacked Album, Lizzo’s Next Era, and Beyoncé’s Optics
Description
This week on Two Queens, Two Crowns, KJ breaks down the 2025 Emmy winners (and snubs), from The Pitt to Seth Rogen’s big moment, and why Beyoncé Bowl should’ve taken home a trophy.
Then it’s on to Lizzo’s latest reinvention—what counts as a “flop” in 2025, and how viral sounds stack up against chart success.
KJ also dives into Beyoncé and Taylor Swift’s complicated optics when it comes to proximity to MAGA supporters, Cardi B’s album rollout featuring Janet Jackson, and, in Black News, the backlash to Pilates creator Raven’s viral “luxury” take.
