Meek Mill Posts PartyNextDoor Lyrics, Fans Think He’s Dissing Lori Harvey
TMZ.com Meek Mill 's suddenly quoting PARTYNEXTDOOR 's new slow jam, but fans are convinced it's no coincidence the line he tweeted plays like a big ol' shot at Lori Harvey , who continues to reject his public advances!!!

"Fuck all my bitch's old friends/Y'all let that girl f**k anybody/She out here catchin' 'every body'" -- and Meek felt compelled to tweet the "Y'all let that girl f**k anybody" bars and a slide emoji.

Why ‘A Man Called Otto’ Worked Outside New York City & Los Angeles With $15M-Plus Wide Opening
In an age of streaming and Covid concerns when many older-skewing dramatic films find their way safely into homes, Sony Pictures rolled the dice on the Tom Hanks drama A Man Called Otto . It grossed $15.3 million in its third–weekend wide expansion over the four-day MLK weekend, well surpassing its $8M projection. The result surprised rival distributors, many who were underwhelmed initially by the Marc Forster-directed title’s exclusive four-theater run in New York City and Los Angeles over New Year’s weekend, which did a $14,000 per-theater average/$56K opening. Not to mention the lukewarm reviews (69% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes). Sony, however, always knew its had the goods with an old-fashioned, moving title, one that would win over its audience — hence its A CinemaScore and 5-star exits on ComScore/Screen Engine’s PostTrak. In some ways, it’s not shocking to see Sony hit a double at the box office; it has done so before with adult-, often female-skewing properties … [Read more...] about Why ‘A Man Called Otto’ Worked Outside New York City & Los Angeles With $15M-Plus Wide Opening
