The Le'Nalors News of The Week - WWE's Roman Reigns Nabs Role of Akuma In new Street Fighter Live-Action

Multiple outlets announced the casting on Thursday evening (June 26). Reigns beat out a call sheet of who’s who in Hollywood to secure the major role in the forthcoming Street Fighter live-action adaptation. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news.  

Akuma is arguably the best fighter in the classic video game. He made his debut in 1994 on Street Fighter Turbo.  Known for his menacing presence and destructive power, Akuma is a fan favorite in the franchise.

Reigns joins an eclectic cast blending talent from music, film, and television. Rap star 50 Cent will step into the role of Balrog. Country artist Orville Peck has been cast as Vega. Jason Momoa will take on the part of Blanka. 

Andrew Koji has signed on as Ryu, with Noah Centineo as Ken. Callina Liang rounds out the lineup as Chun-Li. The film, produced by Capcom and Legendary, will be directed by Kitao Sakurai and is set to begin shooting in Australia this August.

The Le'Nalors News of The Week - Chris Brown Shows Love To T-Pain Amid Drake Tensions

Chris Brown broke up the intense backlash T-Pain has been receiving after Drake called him resentful for his comments on Drizzy's retirement.

Drake inspired a wave of hate against T-Pain after the singer criticized the rapper for not following up on previous claims of retirement. But Chris Brown is there to shout him out as a "pioneer," even after Drizzy called him resentful for his take on possibly hanging it up.

As caught by HOT 97 on Twitter, Breezy took to his Instagram Story to send a message to the Tallahassee native amid all the controversy. Many fans probably didn't expect this situation to blow up this much, but a response from the 6ix God is all that OVO fans needed to clap back.

"RANDOM THOUGHT..." Brown wrote, which doesn't seem very random when you consider the context. "@tpain is one of the goats of my generation!! GIVING YOU YOUR FLOWERS!!! PIONEER LOVE YOU MY BROTHER!

Of course, you may be wondering what T-Pain said about Drake in the first place to warrant this discussion. It seemed like nothing at the time, but it's not the first time that the former said something critical of the latter.

"One thing I learned from Drake, but one thing he hasn't followed his own words," the 40-year-old had remarked. "Drake said, ‘I wanna be one of them people that gracefully bow out and not get kicked out.’ I have ever since said, ‘Thank y’all, I appreciate y’all. I'll see y'all when I drop.' [...] Drake is like, ‘No, listen, OK, I got another one. Hold on, check this out. Y'all ain't like that one? OK, real quick, just one more. Let me try one more.'"

"This guy always had resentment for me [crying-laughing emoji]," Drake responded to T-Pain. "You can hear it every time he speaks on my name."

As for where Chris Brown and Drake stand, the former's shoutout to the latter's "resentful" critic doesn't mean that he has no love for the Toronto superstar. Then again, they previously had beef that they seemed to squash. But during the Kendrick Lamar battle, there were some rumors that Brown was on the Compton lyricist's side. Still, that's just speculative, so these aren't necessarily fighting words.
