The Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. is not pleased with Issa Rae and her show, "Insecure," after one of the characters portrayed an AKA.Last night, (Oct. 24) the final episode of "Insecure" premiered on HBO. In the episode, Amanda Seales' character, Tiffany, is apart of the AKA Sorority- which many online users deemed disrespectful.After the episode aired, both Amanda and Issa received major backlash by sorority members. Amanda jumped online and clapped back at the backlash. She explained that she is an actress simply playing a fictional role.https://www.instagram.com/tv/CVcJFgtP3Nm/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkIssa Rae also jumped online to react to some of the backlash.On Twitter, a fan of the show tweeted, "okay so hold up. This girl is not a Soror and had my SHIELD on her body?! <a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" dir="ltr" role="link" href="https://twitter.com/IssaRae">@IssaRae </a>@insecurhbo please do not do that again.

Issa Rae shares a touching story about how Nipsey Hussle helped Issa and Lauren London make up.During a recent interview, Issa explains that she rubbed Lauren the wrong way by mentioning in interviews that a TV exec suggested London would be a nice fit to play the lead in a possible cable adaptation of Awkward Black Girl. "One of my biggest regrets, naming her," said Issa. "She took offense to that." Luckily, two years ago at Diddy's 50th birthday party the two were able to make up with the help of Nip.“He was like, ‘You should just talk to her. Let me set it up,’” she says. “It actually sparked an amazing two-hour conversation. We had so much in common. She was like, ‘People don’t understand, I’m an awkward Black girl.’ In the same way that I was upset about the limited portrayal of Black women, she was like, ‘People do the same thing to me.’ I completely get that.”https://www.instagram.com/p/CPBCfJfshbO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link[<a href="https://bossip.com/2024324/issa-rae-vanity-fair/">via</a>]

Issa Rae has A LOT to celebrate!According to news sources, Rae inked a new deal with WarnerMedia. The Insecure co-creator will develop TV projects for HBO, HBO Max, and Warner Bros. This agreement gives the networks exclusive rights to Rae’s work in TV. Reports surfaced that Rae signed an eight-figure deal but she said that's "cap" and would never announce how much she makes. This is a “full circle” moment for Rae. In 2016, she signed a two-year overall deal with HBO that launched Insecure. In 2018 she renewed the agreement for three more years. The Golden Globe and NAACP Image Award-nominated series will end in the upcoming season five, slated to drop later this year. Variety reports this deal brings her Hoorae media label in partnership with WarnerMedia, which is another plus. Rae recently told the publication she’s “excited” to have the flexibility and strengthen the relationship she already has with the networks. She said,“Hoorae already had at least <a href="https://www.looper.com/340107/insecure-season-5-release-date-cast-spoilers/">15 projects</a> in various stages of development with them, so we’d been working with them on the drama side, the unscripted side, and the documentaries side for a couple of years now.” She continued,“When people believe in you and build with you, I tend to want to further that relationship. That’s just been a staple of mine with so many of the people that I work with.”Rae is currently filming the fifth and final season of HBO’s comedy series Insecure. Robin Thede’s A Black Lady Sketch Show was picked up for a second season, and Rae is an executive producer. Other television <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/issa-rae-new-overall-deal-warnermedia">projects</a> in the works include the docuseries Seen & Heard, a backyard wrestling drama Tre Cnt (produced with Dwayne Johnson’s Seven Bucks Productions) at HBO. There’s also hip hop comedy <a href="https://www.hot97.com/hip-hop-news/hot-news/issa-rae-launching-new-hbo-max-series-rap-sht-hbo-w-the-city-girls-as-co-exec-producers/">Rap Sh*t</a> at HBO Max with the City Girls as executive producers.

This past Saturday, Issa Rae had everyone laughing during her debut on Saturday Night Live, except for Kanye West. During one of her skit’s, Rae reprised her infamous “Rooting for everyone Black” comment that went viral in 2017 at the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards. Rae’s character stood behind her comment and praised everyone that was black until Kanye West’s name was mentioned. Rae was heard saying “Kanye West, F him.” Watch the entire clip below.https://youtu.be/3AdArivRqXIKanye West was not feeling the joke and responded to it. The rapper tweeted out, “I’ve always said SNL uses black people to hold other black people back. My heart goes out to Issa Rae. I’m praying for her and her family. I know that the twenty years of service that I’ve paid in the entertainment field has furthered our ability to be more successful.”https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1317819037036941313?s=20

Only when it’s convenient,” she said. “That joke was my choice, just like slavery.” Keep in mind Issa Rae is the first African American woman to host the fashion award show.While Kanye West wasn’t present for the joke, Kim Kardashian was given an award and her acceptance speech consisted of a few puns as well.Watch the clip below:<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Issa Rae is hosting the CFDA Awards .
