Oprah Winfrey is facing backlash following the announcement of her most recent book club addition, American Dirt, and has addressed the controversy in a bid to quell those outraged by her pick. In a video posted to Winfrey's book club Instagram page Monday, she addressed the backlash. "It's clear that we need to have a different kind of conversation about American Dirt, and we welcome everyone's thoughts and opinions in our community," she captioned the video. "I was deeply moved, it had me riveted from the very first sentence and I could hardly wait, really, to share it with all of you," she said. "Now, it has become clear to me from the outpouring of, may I say, of very passionate opinions that this selection has struck an emotional chord and created a need for a deeper, more substantive discussion." American Dirt tells the story of a young Mexican bookstore owner forced to flee her town for the U.S. after her journalist husband is killed by the local drug cartel, but critics have panned the book as being stereotypical and offensive. And let's face it, there is already enough negative propaganda portraying the Latin community in a bad light, thanks to the Trump administration. Oprah is having a rough 2020 so far. She was first slammed for being a part of the recently Sundance-premiered documentary, On The Record, which hears Russell Simmons accusers recount their alleged sexual assaults. Then she was later criticized for stepping away from it.

Rap legend Lil Wayne appears to be beefing with his top protege, Aubrey "Drake" Graham. And this new beef is growing just as Lil Wayne is promoting his new album Funeral, which launched two days ago. Wayne will appear on the upcoming episode of Nore's Drink Champ's podcast. And during the interview, Weezy fires shots at Drake. Nore instigates the beef, by asking Wayne, "Even though Drake is your artist, he sends you a record, you still taking his head off?" Completely stonefaced, Wayne nods, and says "Yeah." The Drink Champs hosts immediately burst into a howling laughter, seemingly happy that they got Wayne to admit to cracks in his relationship with Drake. But Wayne continued, saying that he will beat Drake, "All day." And added, "I'm letting him know when he send it like, make sure your mom and them don't be listening to this." Wow. We can't wait to see how Drake responds . . .
