DJ Paul Clarifies Three 6 Mafia's 'Satanist' Claims
DJ Paul has cleared up any confusion about Three 6 Mafia's rumored affiliation with Satanism. For the record, it was all a gimmick. During his recent appearance on the Dumb Blonde Podcast, the 48-year-old spoke on the origins of the group's name and how it became associated with the devil. 'Basically Lord Infamous said it in a song and I liked that and I was like, 'Whoa, that's dope,'' he began. Paul continued, 'I started sampling it and that became really popular with us, but that still wasn't our name. I was just sampling and then it was time to form a group, I was like, 'We should call ourselves Triple 6 Mafia,' and everybody liked it. And then next thing I know, white fans came like that. [snapped] They flocked to us.' Paul was asked if Infamous toyed with Satanism, and he laughed. 'No. He was just high,' he noted. 'That n***a grew up singing 'Amazing Grace' in church and I was playing the organ. We was in the church every Sunday in Mississippi.' Of the association, Paul added, 'It was just an image. It was just something that was cool. We never studied Satan or nothing like that. I don't know nothing about all that.' Crunchy Black, though, once opened up about a 'deal he made with the devil.' Origin story aside, Juicy J spoke on the Oscar-winning group's influence, calling them the 'greatest group of all time' in 2023. On X, he tweeted, 'Peace & love to Three6Mafia. Great to witness our Music still going strong like it never [left], people across the world sampling & remaking the songs we are grateful thank you All #greatestgroupofalltime.'

Andrew Schulz Announces New Netflix Comedy Special ‘Life'
EXCLUSIVE: Comedian Andrew Schulz has taped a new pregnancy-themed special, Life, that's set to premiere globally on Netflix on March 4. Filmed during a record-setting run at New York's Beacon Theatre, the special is Schulz's second for Netflix, on the heels of Schulz Saves America, a four-parter in which he dissected the most controversial topics of 2020. In the special, directed by Troy Miller, which is billed as the comic's most personal yet, he offers a look at the hilarious and humbling journey of trying to start a family, breaking down the chaos of IVF like only he can. From pumping out samples to dodging emotional landmines, it's raw, real, and will make you grateful your swimmers (probably) work.

Dakota Films was the production company. One of today's most popular comics, Schultz recently wrapped his sold-out global Life Tour, which included back-to-back sellouts at Madison Square Garden, Los Angeles' Kia Forum and Arena, two shows at Toronto's Scotiabank Arena, and over 70 arenas and theaters across the U.S., Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia. In a bold move during his last tour, he bought back his most recent special, Infamous, from a major streamer after rejecting creative notes and distributed it independently. After amassing over 20 million views on YouTube, it became one of the platform's most-watched comedy specials, cementing Schulz as a pioneer in direct-to-fan content distribution. Prior to Schulz Saves America, Schulz also went directly to YouTube with his specials, 5:5:1 and 4:4:1. In the podcast world, Schulz is known for his show Flagrant, which boasts 1.3 billion views on YouTube and has featured headline-grabbing guests like President Donald Trump, Joe Rogan, 50 Cent, Mr. Beast, Shane Gillis, and Jelly Roll. He also co-hosts The Brilliant Idiots podcast, blending comedy with cultural commentary, with Charlamagne tha God. Schulz's recent TV and film credits include starring in Netflix's hit comedy series Tires, the Western drama The Thicket alongside Peter Dinklage, and Amazon MGM's football comedy The Underdoggs with Snoop Dogg. He also appeared in Netflix's You People with Eddie Murphy, Jonah Hill, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and 20th/Hulu's remake of the cult classic White Men Can't Jump with Jack Harlow.
