What are the chances that in the same week a Jodeci biopic is announced, B lack-ish would air an episode where Dre feels inspired to name his unborn son Devante? It was a coincidence delivered straight from my ancestors, I’m sure. I have to say that Black History Month is truly off to a magical start.
