The report stated that the singer was going to appear on the soundtrack for Marvel film Black Panther 2, which is due for release next year, plus two other blockbusters. An insider also told the news outlet that Disney was trying to get her team to agree to have Beyoncé do voiceovers for some of the new documentaries coming to Disney Plus. “She’s worked on a number of projects for them, including voicing Nala in the reboot of The Lion King, and now they’re keen to secure her for more projects,” the insider shared. Although it was said that “the negotiations” were “still ongoing,” fans immediately began to celebrate.

Now, as exciting as this all sounds, we exclusively spoke with a rep for Beyonce’ who let us know that these reports of a $100 million dollar deal in the “works” with Disney are unfortunately not true. The rep did not provide any further details.

HU Exclusive: Floyd Mayweather Reaches Out To George Floyd’s Family And Commits To Pay For All Funeral Costs

Hearts are broken all over the world following the tragic death of George Floyd — the unarmed black man who suffocated under the knee of white Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin. Although his death is still very hard to take in, many people all over the world are determined to get justice for George and his family.

Many people including a number of celebrities have taken the streets to protest for George. Some public figures have even used their platform to shed light on his story. However, we’ve just learned that Boxing Champ Floyd Mayweather has personally reached out to George’s family to help out in a major way.

While speaking with Hollywood Unlocked CEO Jason Lee during a private conversation, Mayweather shared that he was distraught after learning the minimal charge former officer Chauvin received for killing George — just third-degree murder and manslaughter. He told Jason that he was in a group chat with Anzel Jennings, the CEO of TMT music label, who shared that he actually grew up with George in Houston. Following their conversion, Jennings reached out to the family on Mayweather’s behalf. The 43-year-old star felt compelled to do something so he committed to paying for the three funeral services in Houston, George’s hometown – Minnesota and Charlotte. The family is also looking to have a fourth service in another location. Mayweather has also offered to take care of those expenses as well.

Although Floyd discussed this in private, Jason explained why he wanted to share Mayweather’s kind gesture with everyone:

“I felt it was important to share this because his voice has a global impact that needs to be heard, especially during these times.”

As we previously reported, George Floyd was just 46-year-old when his life was taken. Although one cop has been arrested, many people around the world want all the cops involved to be arrested and charged for the killing of the beloved man.
