Keke Palmer addressed a tweet over the weekend that compared her to fellow actress Zendaya, and ignited a discussion over her career and popularity.

On Saturday, Aiyana N. Ishmael, an editorial assistant at Teen Vogue, tweeted her confusion over remarks about Palmer’s “breakout” success in Nope, Jordan Peele‘s latest directorial venture.

“It’s so interesting seeing the conversation around Keke Palmer having her breakout or superstar moment and it’s wild we live in different worlds because in my household Keke been a star for forever,” Ishmael wrote. “Akeelah & The Bee was my dad’s favorite movie it went triple platinum in my home.”

Another Twitter user then quoted Ishmael’s tweet, writing, “I’d like someone to do a deep-drive [sic] on the similarities and differences between Keke Palmer and Zendaya’s careers. This may be one of the clearest examples of how colorism plays out in Hollywood. They were both child-stars, but their mainstream popularity is very different.”

On Sunday, Palmer addressed the latter tweet on Twitter.

Without mentioning Euphoria and Spider-Man star Zendaya, Palmer gave a brief summary of her own numerous film credits and career achievements, adding that she had “been a leading lady” since childhood.

“A great example of colorism is to believe I can be compared to anyone,” she wrote. “I’m the youngest talk show host ever. The first Black woman to star in her own show on Nickelodeon, & the youngest & first Black Cinderella on broadway. I’m an incomparable talent. Baby, THIS, is Keke Palmer.”

“I’ve been a leading lady since I was 11 years old,” she continued. “I have 100+ credits, and currently starring in an original screenplay that’s the number one film at the box office #NOPE. I’ve had a blessed career thus far, I couldn’t ask for more but God continues to surprise me.”

Lupita Nyong’o opened up about the grief she experienced while making Black Panther: Wakanda Forever without the king himself, Chadwick Boseman.

The Oscar winner told The Hollywood Reporter that the Marvel sequel pays tribute to Boseman, who died after a battle with colon cancer in August 2020.

“For us as a cast, having lost our king, Chadwick Boseman, that was a lot to process, and in many ways, we’re still processing it. When you lose someone, I don’t know when you stop missing them,” Nyong’o said. “We felt it so much, making this film without him.”

That was not the only challenge in making the film. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic brought along its own set of hardships, Nyong’o said, but noted that the cast and crew all came together to make it work.

“To make this film against all odds is a powerful statement unto itself, and I am very proud that we did it,” Nyong’o said. “It was very therapeutic. It restored a sense of hope for me in making it, and I think we’ve expanded the world of Wakanda in ways that will blow people’s minds.”

Speaking of which – when the official teaser trailer for the film dropped at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend, fans were left with a huge question. Who is the person donning the Black Panther suit? Nyong’o remained tight-lipped on the subject.

“Don’t you just love a good secret,” she said.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever releases in theaters on November 11.

Marvel is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News.

Lizzo has knocked Harry Styles off the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Her infectious anthem “About Damn Time” is now the new top song in the country.

This is the Grammy winner’s second song to go to #1, following her breakout hit “Truth Hurts,” which raced to the top of the chart in 2019 and stayed there for seven weeks.

“About Damn Time” spent 14 weeks climbing to the top and finally broke through the iron grip Harry’s “As It Was” had on the chart. Fans streamed Lizzo’s hit 14.3 million times and bought up 14,000 copies over the past week, giving it the edge it needed to go to #1.

It also should be noted that Lizzo now has the official bragging rights to being the first and — to date — only artist to bring the word “Damn” to the #1 spot. Prior to her funky new song hitting the airwaves, the highest-charting single with that word in its title was “Damn!” by YoungBloodz and Lil Jon, which peaked in fourth place back in 2003.

Also, it’s been 20 years since a song with “Time” in its title was at #1 — the last being Ja Rule and Ashanti‘s “Always on Time.”

That’s not Lizzo’s only win. Her new album, Special, debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 after selling 69,000 copies and amassing over 37 million streams in its first week.  

This becomes her highest-charting album of all time and the highest-charting album released by a woman so far this year.

Her previous album, Cuz I Love You, peaked at #4.

The first trailer for the movie Till was released Monday on what would have been Emmett Till’s 81st birthday.

The biopic, from director Chinonye Chukwu, follows the story of Mamie Till-Mobley, who fought for justice after her 14-year-old son was lynched in Mississippi in 1955 following false accusations from a white woman.

“The lynching of my son has shown me that what happens to any of us, anywhere in the world, had better be the business of us all,” Mamie, played by Danielle Deadwyler, says in the trailer.

The film also stars Jalyn Hall as Emmett and Whoopi Goldberg as Emmett’s grandmother, Alma Carthan.

Till will make its world premiere at the 60th New York Film Festival, which takes place September 30 to October 16. It premieres in select theaters on October 14 and opens everywhere on October 28.

An ABC Audio podcast also chronicling the life of Mamie Till-Mobley, Reclaimed: The Story of Mamie Till-Mobley, is out now.
