• 1:09
  Speaker 3: related things that will coincide and align perfectly with my
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: birthday as well too. So excited for you guys to
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: see those across social media. Um, I'm Lauren La Rosa everywhere.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: L O R E N L O R O S A. Um, but,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: The plan may steadily be changing. I was sitting down
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: and thinking today just about the year that I've had.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: And I've talked a lot to you guys about this
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: year being such a foundational year for me, not just
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: as a personality.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: And you guys have been through the journey with me.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I've learned a lot about.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: How to be and how to vocalize and how to
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: prioritize and responsibility of being a personality. But in the
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: business space, literally as a business woman, this has been
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: a year for me, a big year. There've been a
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: lot of changes. There've been a lot of additions. There's
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: been a lot of subtractions, but there's been a lot
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: of learning. And I think in all of that, it
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: feels like, you know, the foundation is a lot more
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: steady than I was when I think about my birthday
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: last year.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Although- the door was kicked.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Down honey okay we were walking through the door um
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: knowing that we wanted to build tables in certain spaces
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: but I think the foundation for those tables a steady
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: foundation at that I am going into 2027 really knowing
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: that the foundation is steady um and everything that has
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: not fallen on yet will because I've set myself up
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: for it to do so so I'm really excited about
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: celebrating my birthday this year.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: And I think that's why I'm like, and I'm a celebrator.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I love holidays. I'm super traditional. I love birthdays. I
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: love all the things.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: But I think this year, I feel very complete and
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: very whole. Things aren't perfect on a day-to-day. Life, life,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: things happen. But I do feel very complete and whole
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: walking into my birthday this year.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: So I don't need much. Like, I don't need much.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I don't need to do much.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: But I am, you know, down to celebrate that because
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: God is good and has always been good. And baby,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: when you walk in a favor, OK, sometimes you got
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: to cheers and toast to that. So I've also been
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: on this fast. I said I would fast until my birthday.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: No hard alcohol. So no tequila or anything like that.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm a tequila girlie. Um, and no drinking
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: per se, like nothing heavy, um, during the week has
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: been my motivator. And if I do drink during the week,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: or if I am drinking even on the weekends, my
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: biggest thing has been not overindulging. Um, you know, that's
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: one of the seven deadly sins is doing a little
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: bit too much. And I told myself and tell myself
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: every single time I fast that even if it's not
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: the biggest, you know, complete cutoff or whatever the case
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: may be, the discipline and my relationship with God and
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: the conversation about that discipline is is meaningful and I
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: know he hears it and I know he sees it.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: And right now, and normally when I fast, it's for
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: a sense of clarity. It's when a lot of change
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: is happening, when I'm having to make decisions. And I
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: just always want to make sure I'm making decisions, not
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: by the human, by the flesh, but being led to
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: spiritually to make those decisions for the divine alignment that
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: I know God has me walking in. So that's what
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I'm on right now as we count down to my
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: birthday and I'm really excited about that. My mom's here
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: in New York this week. We got some doctor and
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: health things to follow.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Up on with her.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: And we've already spoken and prayed about favor and all
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: the things. She does her follow-up scans for her since
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: she's beat her cancer some years ago. But just checking
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: in on some things and making sure that everything is
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: tight and right.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: So Pray Fresh, y'all, as.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: We do that, I'm talking about foundation and, you know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: having her here in New York and having her, every
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: time she's around me and my new adult, not my new,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: cause I've been an adult for some time, but.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: In my adult phase of things, it always amazes her.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Like the child that she's raised is like crazy. Even
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: though she knows, she knows me so well that she
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: knows the child she raised, but being around it and
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: seeing it, I think it's different. Like, and it's small
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: things like today, like, We were laughing at the fact
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: that like I'm the type of person that will stock
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: up on like toiletries. So like toothpaste and paper towels
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: and toilet paper and.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Stuff like that. And my mom was that type of person.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: She is that type of person.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: And she said to me today, she was like, I
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: love to see that you're stocking up on your toilet paper.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I said, well, I learned from the best.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: And she was like, I'm just so happy to see
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: the things that you guys picked up. And I think
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: that that was something small. But as a parent, I
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: think it's just always a feel good thing to see that.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: you know, your better habits, your best habits, your forward planning,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: things that you would want your kids to pick up
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: and implement, they do it effortlessly.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: So let's get on into the latest.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Talking about foundation and effortlessly, Kanye West, man, you know,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Kanye West has had his trials and tribulations, his turbulences.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Let's not, you know, be remiss to the fact that
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Kanye West, a few years ago while I was at TMZ,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: said in front of us that slavery was a choice.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: He was going down the spiral of, you know, mental
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: health and, you know, medical issues. And he was just,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: a lot of things were not together. The foundation was
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: all over the place. But he has been having such
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: a year that to me symbolizes that, you know, he
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: is working on what is foundationally important for him being
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: his health, his mental health, to the point where he's
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: able to conduct business and get back out there in
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: the field.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I broke an exclusive.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Shout out to Complex and All Hip Hop and a
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: lot of the outlets that I saw that picked up
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: my exclusive. But Kanye West did a show in Dallas, Texas. And,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: you know, he's traveling everywhere with his globe and his
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: amazing lighting set up and having artists pop out all over.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: While in Dallas, Erykah Badu popped out for him.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Let's take a listen.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Ooh, yeah. I'm trying to get you inside.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Kid Cudi and him reunited on the stage. Let's take
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: a listen.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: But even bigger than that, Kanye West and Dallas became,
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: he broke his own record and headlined the most attended
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: rap show in U.S. history at the AT & T Stadium.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: So I had spoken to a rep for Icon Presents,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: the company that is producing Kanye's stadium tour run. And
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: they confirmed to me on behalf of the Breakfast Club
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: that Kanye or Ye Live, which is the name of
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: the tour, in Dallas at AT & T Stadium sold
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: 83,000 tickets and generated.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: $ 18 million in revenue.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: This exceeded the promoter's reported 74,412 tickets that were sold
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: a week prior at his Houston show, which was originally
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: reported as the history-breaking show, but he broke his own record. Now,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: keep in mind, I'm told he's doing this all 100% independent,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: this tour, which is crazy. He also recently did his
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: fashion show over in L.A. where he brought Yeezy back
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: to the runway for the first time in four years.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Clothing never stopped.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: I've shopped Yeezy.com and brought clothes from Kanye since all
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: of the debacles. But it being back on the runway,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: him launching a flagship store in L.A., it's a sign that,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: you know, things are in a place where things can
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: consistently change. grow and be out there for the people
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: he can consistently be out there for the people because
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: at one point you know he was having to take
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: time away from people because mentally he just was not
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: together enough where like we wouldn't get rants and things
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: that were like really taking everything he had built away
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: from him I mean he was down and out I
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: remember at one point he was borrowing money off of
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: the homes that he owned uh because all I mean
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: he just wasn't a good financial place I remember his
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: money was frozen He couldn't access any of his bank accounts.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: He was living out of hotels in LA. And look,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: y'all are like, listen, champagne problems, 100%. Kanye West is
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: still Kanye West. The money is still there, even when
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: he was having trouble accessing it. But my point is,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: is that this person that we've watched grow from literally
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: nothing to something, the foundation was a little rocky at
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: one point.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Or maybe it wasn't.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Maybe the foundation was always there, but there were things
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: and challenges like his health that were taking him away
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: from the foundation. It's just good to seemingly see him
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: get back to it. Now, one of the things we
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: haven't heard him do much is talk. So, you know,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: we don't know, you know, all the way where he's at,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: but I think his actions are showing a lot. And
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: that is what matters, and we're going to keep paying
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: attention to it. Now, I know that they're working on
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: some other shows. We'll keep you guys posted. And as
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: it develops, we'll keep you guys right there with it. Now,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: speaking of things that we were keeping you guys posted on,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: remember I talked to you guys about this Chris Brown
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: and Usher concert and their kickoff. They're doing five shows
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: in Atlanta. It's a history-making set because they're the first
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: act to do so in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: They kicked off night one. a few days ago and
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: it was not good.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: You know, they started almost three hours late. Show started
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: at seven. They didn't take the stage until 10. They
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: didn't do any scenes, any sets together.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: It was turbulent. They ended the show early. Fans were
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: pissed off. Okay.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: If you guys go and listen to my episode of
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: the latest with Ronda Rousey, where we talked about this,
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: we had some of the fans. So we grabbed some
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: of their, you know, reviews from social media of them
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: upset about all of this. And I told you guys
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: then that a source had told me that this was
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: a battle of teams and kind of like egos. Like
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: there's a natural competition when you've got two big icons
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: like that on the stage. And, you know, one team
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: trying to control certain things, another team trying to control
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: other things. And that this had been ongoing for some
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: time and it finally came to a head. Well, Tank,
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: who was actually on this tour, R & B icon Tank, Actually,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: on this tour, he does a lot of the backup
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: vocaling along with Mario and Eric Billinger. And also, they
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: have their own sets as well, too.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: He sat down with Big Tigger.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Shout out to Big Tigger and Francesca, his co-host in
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Atlanta for the Big Tigger morning show on V103. And
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: he kind of gave us a look into what may
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: or may not have been going on. Now, the full
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: interview was not out yet, so there will be more
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: to this, but let's.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Take a listen.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: There's bound to be conflict. And once those conversations are had,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Night two, a movie. Night three, a movie.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: How has the entire tour, but more specifically your time
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: in Atlanta been on this R & B tour?
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: It's been eventful. To say the least.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Any insight to what happened was?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Night one, you know, we're trying to figure it out.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: We're trying to Trying to figure it out. Got it. Listen,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I've been in a group before called TGT.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Never any issues there.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: Easy work.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Argue when.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Listen, in the spirit of competition, in the spirit of
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: trying to be great, in the spirit of everybody having
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: their own ideas of what greatness looks like, how to
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: approach it, all of these things. There's bound to be conflict.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: And and once those conversations are had. Night two, a movie.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Night three.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: I don't hold this against Chris Brown or Usher at all.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's the end of the world that
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: this has happened. I think that this is a natural
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: combinations of the worlds like it's collaboration. But there is
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: always healthy competition between two people who are the best
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: at the sport.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: These are literally the kings of R & B.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: We think about, you talk about foundation and building foundation
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: and career.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: These are the kings of R & B right now.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: It happens.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Now, what I am happy to see is that they
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: have been getting it back together. Each night since that
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: first night, things have slowly been picking up. And it's
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: still a hell of a tour to go see, even in,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: you know, them getting things back together. Now, last time
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: they were on stage, you know, the show went off
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: without a hitch.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: The cherries happened. I saw my girl.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Portia Williams and her girlfriend Sway out there, you know,
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: getting real sexy with the cherries.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: You know, they brought people up on stage.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Chris Brown brought the girl up on stage that, remember
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: there was the girl that came on stage and had
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: that weird interaction with Usher? I think we talked about
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: that here on the latest, but there was a girl
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: back in July who came on stage. When I say
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: come on stage, during the concert and during the tour,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: if you guys haven't seen her or been or just
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: seen it in the media or online, Usher and Chris
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Brown both have these crowd interaction segments.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Usher goes out into the crowd. He feeds people cherries.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Chris Brown brings people on stage, does like a whole
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: little like take you down, hump, hump, one, two, one, two, right?
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Back in July, there was a woman that Usher brought
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: on stage and tried to do a whole little segment with.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: She was not feeling it. And she went viral because
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: she wasn't. She wasn't participating.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: People was like, girl, what? That's Usher. You wasted an opportunity.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: She was like, I didn't even want to be up
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: there with him anyway. I wanted Chris Brown. This is
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: what she said to TMZ some months ago.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: You were banking on Chris Brown, and you got Usher,
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: and you would have been more into it with Chris Brown.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Am I reading this right? Me solely, I went to
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the concert for Chris Brown. It's nothing against Usher or
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: anything like that, but I'm more of a Chris Brown fan.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Than I am of Usher. So, of course.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: It would have been a different reaction with Chris Brown.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: It wouldn't have.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Been the stiffness or whatever the.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Internet is portraying.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: So you, after what happened, happened, some of the fans
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: were getting on you saying you shouldn't, had no business
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: being on stage. I thought your response to them was interesting.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: You explained that their team approached you and moved you
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: to VIP before the show even started. And then you said,
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: Pretty privileges. Something you hoes will never know about.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Baby girl finally got her moment. Chris Brown brought her
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: up on stage. Sunday night. They pulling out all the
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: stops now because they want the fans to know we
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: are back. We never left, honestly, but we back though. Now,
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: they kick off night four and five in Atlanta, both
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: today and tomorrow, November 10th and 11th, and I mean,
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: I know Closing Night in Atlanta is going to be crazy. Like,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: I just know for a fact. I just know for
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: a fact Closing Night in Atlanta is going to be crazy.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: I'm anticipating what they might do, how they might close
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: it out. I'm also hoping that we get some more
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: from them. Like, Usher has said a little bit of
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: things since, you know, that opening night didn't go well
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: about what may have happened between the two of them.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Let's take a listen.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Chris Brown kind of hinted at it by, you know,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: saying a little bit of this on stage.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: But we ain't got nothing much.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: I want to know.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know if this is another incident where they
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: won't say anything, though, because that has happened. There were reported,
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: you know, issues with them in a fight some years
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: ago at a skating rink down in Atlanta. And we
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: never really heard nothing else about it. I remember this, though,
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: because TMZ at the time when I was working there,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: we worked on the story. I think we broke the story, actually.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: I think it was, you know, there were rumors across social,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: but we put up the story. So I remember this,
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: but like we never found out what happened. I don't
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: know whether they say something or not. still golded, still
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: one of the most historic tours in the world. People
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: talk about, you know, black music and our greats not
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: being able to build a foundation that sustains them beyond age,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: beyond controversy and all the things. And I think about,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: and I look at the Chris Browns, the Kanye's, you know,
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: you know, the Usher is literally a generational like talent.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Like there are people, you know, my mom's age all
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: the way to younger that are learning and discovering and
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: loving on Usher.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: It's possible. The product just got to be good. The
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: music got to be good. It got to sustain.
• 17:48

• 17:50
