Diarra and her Detroit crew are coming back. BET made the announcement this week that Diarra From Detroit, the critically acclaimed BET+ show will return to the streamer after months of uncertainty about its future.
Show creator Diarra Kilpatrick said in a press release, 'We're excited to be back and grateful for the opportunity to take viewers on another very wild, very Detroit adventure.'
Diarra From Detroit debuted on BET+ on March 21, 2024. The eight-episode series quickly gained a following for its fresh take on the female crime-solving genre popularized by shows like Murder She Wrote.
Kilpatrick plays Detroit teacher Diarra Brickland, who turns detective when she's ghosted by a man she meets on a dating app. The ensemble cast includes Morris Chestnut in a recurring role as Diarra's estranged husband, Francois 'Swa' Brickland. Phylicia Rashad, former Detroit Piston John Salley, and Detroit rapper Kash Doll made guest appearances. Cast members Bryan Terrell Clark, DomiNque Perry and Jon Chaffin will return.
Backed by executive producer Kenya Barris, Diarra From Detroit became one of 2024's buzziest new dramedies on the strength of its storytelling and cast. Kilpatrick (who is indeed related to former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick) hinted that the show would return in recent red carpet appearances, but now BET+ has officially renewed it.
'It has been incredible watching fans and critics embrace this show in the way that they have and we're so excited to be back for more,' Barris said. 'Last season proved just how wildly talented Diarra Kilpatrick is and I, for one, can't wait for everyone to see what her and the team have in store this time around.'
There's still time to catch up on Season 1, as there has been no release date set. Watch the first season trailer below.

Mariah Carey Returns With Fiery Single ‘Type Dangerous'
Mariah Carey has released a new single, 'Type Dangerous.' The song is the pop singer's first new release in several years, with her most recent album, Caution, arriving in 2018. The track presumably teases her next LP. 'Looking for the dangerous type,' she croons on the upbeat number. 'I like them dangerous/ That's my type/ I said I love them dangerous.' More from Rolling Stone iHeartRadio Music Festival 2025: Ed Sheeran, Tate McRae, Mariah Carey to Perform Mariah Carey, Snoop Dogg, Jamie Foxx, Kirk Franklin Named BET Ultimate Icon Award Recipients John Mulaney, Rock Hall of Fame Enthusiast, Breaks Down This Year's Class - and Snubs! Carey has been teasing new music on social media all week, including clips from the official lyric video for 'Type Dangerous.' In one clip, the singer is seen listening to a mysterious track called 'T:D_MC16.mp3.' Her car's license plate reads: MC16. Both likely reference her 16th studio album being on the way. Carey recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of her album The Emancipation of Mimi with The Emancipation of Mimi (20th Anniversary Edition) and an additional digital deluxe edition. 'When you sit down and go through the whole Emancipation of Mimi as an album, and go, 'Some of these songs were a little bit more that way or a little bit more this way,' it's just really interesting,' Carey told Rolling Stone last year as she prepared to kick off her Las Vegas residency. 'I love the album so much that it's hard to pick it apart and go, 'Oh, I like this part less than I like that part.' It really is one unit.' The singer released Caution, her 15th LP, in 2018. In a review, Rolling Stone called it 'thrillingly current without swallowing Carey's charm.'

Dancer Sharay 'Pun' Hayes Shared Details Of Diddy 'Freak Offs' With Cam'Ron
Sharay 'Pun' Hayes, an author and exotic male dancer, recently took the stand in the Sean 'Diddy' Combs sex trafficking and racketeering trial. In a new interview with Cam'Ron, Hayes shared that for a full year, he didn't know he was engaging in so-called 'freak-offs' with Diddy and then-girlfriend Cassie. Hayes joined Cam'Ron's Talk With Flee program to discuss his past encounters with Diddy, including joining the beleaguered mogul and his former girlfriend as a third sexual partner in paid, scheduled meetups. The interview opens with Cam'Ron and Hayes reminiscing on their Harlem upbringing and playing basketball during high school, although the pair weren't directly familiar with one another. The conversation then steered into how Hayes got into exotic dancing and how he first made contact with Combs and Ventura. 'They just called up like they was just hiring [for] a regular party', Hayes began, adding that Ventura gave him a fake name to book the session. He added that Ventura stated to him that her husband, presumably referring to Combs, was endorsing her to hire a dancer for a birthday party and was paid just $200 at the time. What was striking about Hayes' account is that as he was booked for subsequent performances and shared, as he did from the witness stand, that Diddy and Cassie masked their identity, but that he discovered who they were by accident after a hotel TV displayed Combs' full name. With the disguise seemingly busted, Hayes said that Combs ditched the veils. Cam'Ron bluntly asked Hayes how sex was with Ventura, but he explained that it was difficult for him to get into the mix with Combs in the room and directing the scene as it were. 'Bro, I'm a be honest with you man, I couldn't get there,' Hayes shared, trying not to delve too much despite Cam'Ron's urging to be explicit. 'Like I got a dude pacing back and forth, beating his joint. 'My peripherals, my Spidey-senses is wilding, especially when I found out it was Puff. When I found it was Puff, it got all the way worse because if you grew up in Harlem, if you grew up in that era, I can't validate it, but everybody knows there's rumors, right, that he could be interested in dudes.'
