Yes, sending goons after Dave Chappelle seems perfectly reasonable.
Hello, Uproxx readers! Here's what you need to know from today.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The five most interesting stories:
1) A secret Ghostbusters movie was announced last night, and [there's already a teaser trailer for it.]( This one is directed by Jason Reitman (son of original Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman) and will ignore the most recent, all-female entry in the franchise. There's not much to see in the teaser other than the iconic Ecto-1 and the Summer 2020 release date. At the very least, can we get a Bill Murray cameo? (Prayer Emoji.)
2) Neal Brennan revealed that [R. Kelly and his "goons" tried to beat up Dave Chappelle]( at one point. In the aftermath of Surviving R. Kelly, attention has been pointed at Chappelle's Show for its R. Kelly song. Brennan, co-creator of the show, discussed the sketch in an interview, saying that just by poking fun at the artist was a risk. In fact, because Chappelle made fun of him, R. Kelly sent his "goons" to beat him up. Thankfully, Chappelle had his own goons with him, and the two groups of goons worked it out peacefully. Just another day in the life of a goon.
3) Colin Kaepernick does not approve of Travis Scott playing the Super Bowl Halftime Show. The controversy around the halftime show keeps on swirling. Just yesterday, it came out that the rapper had consulted with Kaepernick before confirming his performance, but [recent retweets from Kaepernick suggest that he never condoned Scott playing.]( With the Super Bowl still being weeks away, this chaos is nowhere near done.
4) Soulja Boy claims [Drake blew up copying his style](. The rapper made the very bizarre statement in an interview, saying "I taught him everything he knows." Um, ok. Soulja (incorrectly) attributed the success of Drake's "first" song, "Miss Me," to his own "What's Hannenin'" flow, but that ignores huge parts of Drake's breakout year. Regardless, we are here for this "beef."
5) Steve Carell reunited with Greg Daniels, the creator of The Office, for [Netflix's Trump-inspired Space Force.]( It was only last March that Trump first pitched his "space force," and the best thing that has come out of it may very well be bringing some of our favorite people back together for a Netflix space workplace comedy. There's no full trailer or premiere date yet, but as long as it's even 1% of "Michael Scott In Space," all will be right with the world.

Deeper dives worth your time:
Hulu's Fyre Fraud is [a fascinating look behind the scenes of a colossal failure of a music festival.]( If you remember the fun, frightening, embarrassing chapter of festival history that is the Fyre Festival, you'll love the hilarious and sad documentary.
[Migos' Culture III will be a pivotal moment for the group.]( We took a look at how the beloved trio follows up their successful-yet-middling Culture II album.
You should get out and see the world more in 2019. That's why we rounded up [the most affordable destinations for this year's adventures.](
