And, as expected, jokes about whose parents will pop pop in the Doc are already flying despite Variety reporting that it will focus on Freaknik’s impact and downfall, not freaknasty parents.
Ok aunties, your nasty asses are officially on full notice!
Got the, slow mo, the zoom, & the screenshot, tools on stand-by!
