Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan are teaming up to bring the story of Mansa Musa, the richest man in history, to the big screen.
Mansa Musa, ruler of the Mali Empire from 1312 to 1337, is remembered as one of the wealthiest and most powerful leaders in world history. His kingdom sat on vast gold reserves, giving him influence that stretched far beyond West Africa. He's most famous for his extravagant pilgrimage to Mecca, where he traveled with a massive caravan and distributed so much gold in cities like Cairo that he reportedly caused inflation for years. Under his leadership, cities such as Timbuktu flourished into major centers of learning, culture, and trade, with libraries and mosques that attracted scholars from across the Islamic world. Mansa Musa's legacy endures as a symbol of Africa's historical wealth, intellectual accomplishments, and global impact.

Ebro says JAŸ-Z's three shows at Yankee Stadium were all about him cementing his legacy while ushering in a new chapter in his life 👀

Bad - Wale feat. Tiara Thomas (2013) 🔥🔥
Produced by Kelson Camp & Tiara Thomas
That smooth, seductive mid-2010s R&B/hip-hop blend. Wale’s melodic flow paired with Tiara Thomas’s silky hook made this one of the biggest and most replayed records of that era.
