Hey Cousins!!! Although it appears that we have resumed with our regular content on this channel, the people of Palestine are still in our hearts and in our du'ahs daily. We ask that you all make du'ah for them as well - may Allah grant them justice and end their suffering.  This week on CCP, we were joined by one of the funniest people we know - Zaki Zeeko! After knowing Zaki for the past few years and watching his growth from hosting weddings to becoming an entrepreneur, Zaki shared his...

Hey Cousins!! We're back with a brand new episode! This week we're discussing the on-going genocide of the Palestinian people.

Happy Thursday everyone!!!! This week's episode started off a little heated (literally...keep watching, you'll see what I mean lol). We briefly address the comments on one of our clips we put out on IG re: the use of the term "female" when referring to women. Y'all got Amir so shook he had to ASK (which we love a respectful king lol) what the slang word is used for women that is similar to 'guys' for men.  We also talked about how Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis were ride or dies for their...

Happy Thursday Cousins!!! (Or whatever day you’re watching this!) This week we spoke about the extreme lengths people will go through to find SOMETHING to be offended by, it's starting to go overboard tbh. Drake gave a fan $50K for attending his concert (que That Should Be Me by Justin Bieber). We also discussed the story of Hinda, a single mother living in Toronto and how the government (and the Islamic community centres) should be doing a better job at making resources more known and...
