‘Boondocks’ Fans Want Jennifer Lewis to Portray Grand Dad’s Sister

Leave a comment

The Boondocks is gearing up for a reboot and one thing is for certain, the series will never be the same without Grandad.

John Witherspoon portrayed the beloved character, but he was called home at the end of October at the age of 77.

Fans mourned Witherspoon and the characters he brought to life on the big and small screens, especially Grandad. However, a Twitter user came up with a solution that everyone seemingly agrees with. “Picture it: Granddad passes away in The Boondocks opening of the 5th season and the boys are sent to live with Granddad’s sister: played by Jenifer Lewis,” he wrote. “She’s the ONLY one I can think to keep that same energy.” His tweet began to circulate on social media platforms and it seemed as if the idea was widely accepted among fans. 

Lewis caught wind of the tweet and it looks like she’s down to do it. “Thank you one and all. I’ll check into this,” she responded. “It would be fun. I miss my John Witherspoon. He gave us so much so much love and laughter y’all.”

Would y’all be here for this swap?

Jennifer Lewis Rocked Nike at Emmys Red Carpet in Support of Colin Kaepernick

Leave a comment

The legendary Jennifer Lewis made a bold, chic statement during her red carpet appearance at the 2018 Emmy Awards.

Bows, plunging, and bright colors were definitely the wave for last night’s ceremony, but Black-ish star, Jennifer Lewis, rocked a Nike ensemble in support of the company’s decision to feature Colin Kaepernick.

“I am wearing Nike to applaud them for supporting Colin Kaepernick and his protest against racial injustice and police brutality,” Lewis said on the red carpet.

In case you missed it, Nike caused an uproar after they unveiled their ad campaign for the 30th anniversary of their “Just Do It” slogan, starring the former 49ers quarterback. Many people, including President Donald Trump, thought the sports brand was sending a bad message and opted to boycott and burn their Nike items.

Jennifer Lewis said she came up with the idea when thinking about doing something “meaningful.”
