Jamie was keeping it together but when JHud hit that stage he just couldn’t hold it in anymore!!
I had actually forgotten about this video until it was posted all over the internet the last couple of days. I’m so grateful to have shared such a fun moment with @MalcolmJamalWar. He was a great kid and an Amazing man. His life may have been short, but his legacy is long.🙏🏽🕊️
It breaks my heart to hear that Malcolm Jamal Warner has passed. I don’t have to internalize it to feel the pain. He was my son. He was America’s son. God bless you son. Have a safe journey home. 💔🙏🏽

President Trump touted how well Liberian President Joseph Boakai speaks English, which is the country's official language.
It’s hard to believe that we lost my friend, @luthervandross 20 years ago today. He was one of the greatest voices and live performers ever. Gone too soon, but grateful for your music that lives on forever. RIH my friend. 🕊️
Remembering the life and legacy of the King of Pop 👑. Gone too soon. We miss you forever. RIP MJ 🕊️
So sad to learn of the passing of Calvin Yarbrough, one-half of the iconic R&B duo Yarbrough & Peoples. He was 72. We will remember Calvin’s legacy through timeless hits like “Don’t Stop The Music.” Sending condolences to his wife, Alisa Peoples, family, friends & fans. RIP 🙏🏾🕊️
If they had social media in 1865, I guess we wouldn’t have a Juneteenth holiday. Unless it was Trump’s Truth Social. In that case, we probably still wouldn’t know. Happy #Juneteenth!!
#OnThisDay in 1865, General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, TX to read Order No. 3, which affirmed the end of slavery in the states of the former Confederacy. This momentous occasion has been celebrated as #Juneteenth — a combination of “June” & “19th” — for over 150 years.
This is a photo of me with my oldest grandchild, Norah, 15 years ago in Jamaica. It’s one of my favorite photos. She’s 17 now and we have 5 other grandchildren. I’ll get to see them all today and so grateful for. To all the men who are blessed to be called Dad, #HappyFathersDay
Happy 94th Birthday to the legendary Marla Gibbs! #TheJeffersons #227
