What Exactly Is “Red Covid”?
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Andrew Lichtenstein / Getty As the COVID-19 pandemic is in its third year in the United States, an unfortunate reason it has stuck around so long has been due to those engaging in partisan politics debating its existence and refusing to take the vaccines and other measures. Now that divide is represented in a new phenomenon – “red Covid”. In a detailed report from the New York Times, there is a noticeable disparity between those who identify as Republican voters and those who identify as Democrat voters who opted to get the COVID-19 vaccination shots. This gap, which at one point in a poll last October showed that 86 percent of Democratic voters got at least one shot as opposed to 60 percent of Republican voters, seems to be narrowing but only slightly.

Doja Cat Delivers Hilarious Impersonations of Beyonce, Oprah, Elvis Presley & More
Doja Cat is not only a genre-blending artist, but also an impeccable actress. The star took to TikTok to play one of the app’s games, which prompts you to do an impression of a randomly selected celebrity. The “Woman” singer was tasked with doing her best takes on Drew Barrymore, Oprah, Kevin Hart, Samuel L. Jackson, Elvis Presley, Al Pacino and more — all of which she did in her characteristically goofy manner: a one-second facial expression or word. For example, her Presley impression caused her to lower her chin and look up, capturing the King of Rock & Roll’s smoldering stare, and when she took on Jackson’s likeness, she simply shouted, “What!” Explore Explore Doja Cat See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news @dojacat💦🥵♬ original sound –...
