What’s poppin’ GiggleGang! I hope y’all had an amazing Thanksgiving and are gearing up for wonderful holiday season. Around the Water Cooler this week, I share my thoughts on the foolishness that is “Kanye West gospel” and some other church folk shenanigans. Senator Kamala Harris officially suspends her presidential bid. Omarion might be the king of petty. Speaking of O, there’s some trash tv I need y’all to watch.
