Malcolm Mays' Most Stylish Moments From ‘Power Book III: Raising Kanan'
Introduced in 2021, Mays' portrayal of Lou-Lou—an aspiring music mogul balancing ambition with the harsh realities of the streets—resonates deeply, mirroring elements of his own lineage. As a descendant of Stanley 'Tookie' Williams, a founding member of the Crips, Mays brings an authenticity to the role that blends natural charisma with a layered depth.
Before captivating audiences in Raising Kanan, Mays made his mark in Hollywood with roles in Snowfall, Rebel, and Them, establishing himself as a versatile talent with a gift for nuanced performances. But beyond his acting chops, his portrayal of Lou-Lou is just as much about style as it is about substance.
Draped in the effortlessly cool aesthetic of early '90s East Coast fashion, Lou-Lou's wardrobe—featuring tailored leather jackets, crisp tracksuits, and statement gold chains—exudes an understated elegance. His looks pay homage to the Hip-Hop and streetwear culture of the era, reinforcing his image as both a businessman and a streetwise operator.
Mays embodies this duality flawlessly, making Lou-Lou one of the most fashionable yet feared figures in Raising Kanan's universe. With his sharp style and steely presence, Mays has transformed Lou-Lou into one of the most beloved characters in the Power saga.
VIBE compiled Malcolm Mays' best wardrobe looks as Louis 'Lou-Lou' Thomas in Power Book III: Raising Kanan. Check them out below.

Heartland Season 19: When will the new season release? Everything we know so far
If you've been following Heartland from the very beginning—or even just hopped on somewhere along the way—you know how easy it is to get swept up in the show's mix of ranch life, emotional healing, and small-town heart. Now that Season 18 has wrapped up in Canada, fans are already wondering: When's Season 19 coming, and what's in store next? Let's dig into what we know (and what we can guess) about the future of Heartland . When Will Heartland Season 19 Release? There's no official release date yet, but if the past is anything to go by, we've got a decent idea of what to expect. The show usually films during Alberta's warmer months, and Season 19 reportedly began filming in May 2025. That puts it on track for a late 2025 or early 2026 premiere on CBC in Canada—likely sometime in the fall, like previous seasons. For U.S. fans, the release tends to come a little later. Season 18 didn't hit UP Faith & Family until April 2025, so if Season 19 sticks to that same delay, we're probably looking at spring or summer 2026 in the States. As for Netflix? Well… that one's a little murkier. Netflix Canada usually gets new seasons long after CBC's run ends, and outside regions like the UK or Australia might not see Season 19 until mid-to-late 2026. Even worse, Heartland Seasons 1–16 are set to leave Netflix U.S. on August 1, 2025, and it's unclear if 17 or 18 will even make it onto the platform. If you're a Netflix viewer, it might be time to look into CBC Gem or UP Faith & Family instead. Who's Returning for Heartland Season 19? While CBC hasn't dropped a confirmed cast list for Season 19, it's pretty safe to assume that most of the core crew will be back. This show is all about family, after all—both on-screen and off. You can expect to see: Amber Marshall as Amy Fleming-Borden, still healing hearts (both human and horse). Michelle Morgan as Lou, balancing being a mayor, mom, and sister like a boss. Shaun Johnston as Jack, the gruff-but-loving grandpa who holds the ranch together. Chris Potter as Tim, Amy and Lou's dad—still Tim'ing around. Spencer Lord as Nathan Pryce Jr., Amy's maybe-sorta future flame? Ruby and Emmanuella Spencer as little Lyndy, Amy's adorable and increasingly horse-savvy daughter. Baye McPherson as Katie, Lou's teen daughter, with big things ahead. Drew Davis as Logan, the young ranch hand who's become part of the family. Supporting characters like Lisa, Peter, Jessica, Rick, and even Georgie (yes, we're hoping for a Georgie Olympic storyline again!) might also pop in, depending on how the storylines shape up. Nothing's confirmed yet, but Amber Marshall's frequent social media posts about how much she loves working on the show are always a good sign. What Will Heartland Season 19 Be About? Season 18 left us with plenty to chew on. A major drought hit the ranch, there was growing pressure from Pryce Beef across the fence, and the family had to dig deep to keep everything from falling apart. So, what's next? Here's what we might see: Amy's next chapter: After opening her heart a little to Nathan Pryce Jr., could romance finally be back on the table? Or will her focus stay on her horses and clients, maybe even mentoring Lyndy more seriously? Fans love watching her grow through challenges, and Season 19 will likely continue that path. Lou's juggling act: Between being Hudson's mayor and raising Katie, Lou's always multitasking. A new job offer? Political controversy? A personal shake-up? All very possible. Jack's legacy: Jack's not going anywhere (we hope), but the ranch's future may rest on how he adapts to change—and lets the younger generation take the reins, literally and figuratively. The next generation: Katie and Georgie are both at interesting crossroads. Georgie's Olympic ambitions have been teased for a while now, and Katie's finally stepping into her own. Season 19 could start laying the groundwork for what's next for them—romances, ambitions, maybe even some tension? New faces, new stories: Heartland always finds a way to introduce new characters—both human and horse—that shake things up. Whether it's a troubled teen in need of a second chance or a wild horse that won't be tamed, there's bound to be something new to keep fans hooked. Ahmedabad Plane Crash

Tyler Perry Teases The Third 'Why Did I Get Married?' Movie With OG Cast
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Tyler Perry knows how to get his audience excited. On Wednesday, Perry posted a cover page of the 'table draft' that read Why Did I Get Married? on his Instagram, with the caption 'I'm just gonna sit this right here!' He even tagged the franchise's popular cast, including Janet Jackson, Sharon Leaf, Michael Jai White, Lamman Rucker, Richard T. Jones, Jill Scott, and Tasha Smith, essentially confirming that the band is back together again. Vibe reports that actor Richard T. Jones got fans excited over the idea of a third installment of the series during a flight when he hopped on TikTok in October 2024 to push a possible narrative for the movie. Jones joked during the video that his character could leave Sheila (played by Jill Scott), forcing her to drive to the mountain in an attempt to save her marriage. That video, Vibe notes, started a chain reaction where the Why Did I Get Married actors began posting their own videos, adding to the possible plot. That buzz may have been what's gotten us here. Because, as Variety reports, Perry had all but shut the franchise down in December of the same year. During an appearance on Sherri Shepherd's talk show, the director noted that he didn't think there would be a threequel. 'I don't think so,' Perry said, adding, 'I want to, but it's a lot of logistics to try to get it together, so hopefully we can pull it together, but we'll see … Everybody's got things going on, so timing would have to fall in place and then everything else would have to fall in place.' Well, it looks like the stars have aligned, as even actress Tasha Smith got excited over the news. Smith, who plays Trina in the series, posted, 'Who thinks Trina needs a comeback?!?!' to her IG. Smith commented, 'Are we going to be TOGETHER AGAIN,' and later reposted the photo with the caption: 'BOOM.' See social media's response to the news of a third installment in the franchise below. .
