RIP to my dear brother-in-arms, Harry Belafonte. From our time coming up, struggling to make it in NY in the 50’s with our brother Sidney Poitier, to our work on “We Are The World” & everything in between, you were the standard bearer for what it meant to be an artist/activist.

- 1/6 I couldn’t even begin this morning…Losing my dearest of brothers, Sidney Poitier, is like losing a piece of myself. We were joined at the hip from our times scraping to get by, coming up in New York in the 50’s, to achieving all of our dreams & working together in Hollywood
- Happy 40th Anniversary to Thriller! An absolutely one-of-a-kind album, for an absolutely one-of-a-kind artist. I’ll forever cherish everyone involved in the making of this album & for all-a-y’awl for continuing to rock with the music we made 40 yrs later! #Thriller40thAnniversary
