Vic Mensa and Durand Bernarr Talk Queer Genius in the Black Church on 'The Vic Mensa Show'

Vic Mensa returned with Episode 5 of The Vic Mensa Show, bringing on Grammy winner Durand Bernarr for an expansive conversation centered on identity, heritage, and the realities of public attention. In the sit-down, Durand gets candid about the personal cost of fame, letting go of boxy creative labels, and the foundational queer genius driving Black church music. The discussion touches heavily on artistic ancestry, exploring the sonic footprints of Prince and D'Angelo alongside candid reflections on community and personal growth. Along with the deep talk, the two linked up to deliver a live performance of their collaboration "Homesick," taken from Durand's album Bernarr. Durand is truly one of one in this space.
