- 3:49Speaker 1: joining us, we'll be joining us this morning, next hour.
- 3:52Speaker 1: All right, But what we got easy? All right? Well,
- 3:55Speaker 1: let's talk about President Joe Biden. Now, yesterday he was
- 3:58Speaker 1: making an appeal for diplomacy to continue. Right now, everybody
- 4:02Speaker 1: is watching to see if Russian President of Vladimir Putin
- 4:05Speaker 1: or does an invasion of Ukraine, which is their neighbor.
- 4:08Speaker 1: And also Joe Biden warned that a Russian attack on
- 4:11Speaker 1: Ukraine will be met with overwhelming international condemnation. Here is
- 4:15Speaker 1: what Joe Biden has to say about a possible war.
- 4:19Speaker 1: World War two was a war of necessity. Well, if
- 4:22Speaker 1: Russia attacks Ukraine, it would be a war of choice
- 4:25Speaker 1: or a war without cause. Or a reason. I say
- 4:28Speaker 1: these things not to provoke, but to speak the truth.
- 4:31Speaker 1: If Russian does invade in the days and weeks ahead,
- 4:34Speaker 1: the human cost for Ukraine will be immense and the
- 4:38Speaker 1: strategic cross for Russia will also be immense. If Russia
- 4:42Speaker 1: attacks Ukraine, it'll be met with overwhelming international condemnation. The
- 4:47Speaker 1: world will not forget that Russia chose needless death and destruction.
- 4:51Speaker 1: The United States and our allies and partners or respond decisively.
- 4:57Speaker 1: I hope people will finally paying attention to what's going on.
- 4:59Speaker 1: I mean has been going on for a while now.
- 5:01Speaker 1: I mean then it's even scarier when you see, you know,
- 5:04Speaker 1: Russia and China's alliance, and you see America given Ukraine
- 5:08Speaker 1: a billion dollars to support their economy amid their attentions
- 5:11Speaker 1: with Russia, like it's we might be on the break
- 5:14Speaker 1: of World War they Have you ever read George Orwell's
- 5:16Speaker 1: book in nineteen eighty four, which was a cautionary tale.
- 5:20Speaker 1: It was the science fiction novel, but man if it
- 5:22Speaker 1: feels a lot like it all right? Well, according to reports,
- 5:26Speaker 1: they are saying that Russia does have one hundred and
- 5:28Speaker 1: fifty thousand troops along the border of Ukraine and they
- 5:32Speaker 1: are denying. By the way, Russia is a nine. They
- 5:34Speaker 1: have plans to attack Ukraine. So here is what Joe
- 5:38Speaker 1: Biden has to say about the US and sending troops. Well,
- 5:41Speaker 1: I will latch send American servicemen to fight in Ukraine.
- 5:44Speaker 1: We have supplied to Ukrainian military's equipment to help them
- 5:47Speaker 1: defend themselves. And make no mistake, the United States will
- 5:51Speaker 1: defend every inch of NATO territory with a full forceful
- 5:55Speaker 1: American power already respond to Russia's build up of troops.
- 5:59Speaker 1: I've sent it inditional US forces to bolster NATO's eastern flank,
- 6:04Speaker 1: and if Russia in vains, We'll take further steps to
- 6:07Speaker 1: reinforce our presence in NATO, reassures for our our eys,
- 6:12Speaker 1: and deter further aggression. I'm gonna just assume that biden
- 6:15Speaker 1: putin call didn't go as planning. Uh, clearly they didn't.
- 6:19Speaker 1: Uh it wasn't the diploma. See on that phone call,
- 6:24Speaker 1: sound like they're ready to know if somebody must. Well,
- 6:27Speaker 1: Biden is saying that the US is not seeking direct
- 6:30Speaker 1: confrontation with Russia, but he says that if Russia does
- 6:33Speaker 1: target Americans in Ukraine. We will respond forcefully. But they
- 6:37Speaker 1: have been saying that American people should come back if
- 6:39Speaker 1: they're in Ukraine. I mean, they got every right to
- 6:42Speaker 1: jump on Russia if they want to. It's not like Russia,
- 6:44Speaker 1: you know, didn't interfere with our elections and other things.
- 6:47Speaker 1: But I don't know. We'll see, all right, all right,
- 6:52Speaker 1: well that is your I don't want to see, but
- 6:56Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't happen. They've been pumking a forehead
- 6:59Speaker 1: for a while. I don't want to see world War
- 7:00Speaker 1: three in my lifetime. No, no, but they've been poking
- 7:03Speaker 1: out forehead though. All right, we'll get it off your chests.

- 8:06Speaker 1: especially the part when he was walking through the office
- 8:08Speaker 1: and everybody was fronting on him, when he was playing
- 8:10Speaker 1: all falls now, Yeah, which is that that was very
- 8:13Speaker 1: interesting to me because I think a lot of that

- 8:18Speaker 1: that pain like you oh, y'all, y'all fronted on me.
- 8:20Speaker 1: So f all of y'all is what I got from
- 8:23Speaker 1: it is how important it is. Boy. He was a
- 8:25Speaker 1: parent to reinforce the job. A lot of his confidence
- 8:28Speaker 1: came from when his mom told him you know I mean,
- 8:30Speaker 1: and he was bearing in his hand telling me he's
- 8:32Speaker 1: the best. And that's why he believes that, but no,
- 8:35Speaker 1: his mom. His mom also told him he was very
- 8:37Speaker 1: self absolved. And his mom also told him that a
- 8:39Speaker 1: giant should look in the mirror and see nothing. And
- 8:41Speaker 1: he couldn't understand that. Yeah, but at the same time,
- 8:45Speaker 1: she didn't, you know, downplay and you told him not
- 8:48Speaker 1: stay humble. But stilkey, I kind of stilkey the same
- 8:50Speaker 1: energy that you believe it design yourself. Though. It was
- 8:52Speaker 1: really important for her. You can see why when he
- 8:55Speaker 1: lost her, how you know it was it was so
- 8:58Speaker 1: traumatic and he was the first thing that he ran
- 9:02Speaker 1: you for a little, for confidence and for building the
- 9:04Speaker 1: muff Mavie. And she was really into his stuff, you know,
- 9:07Speaker 1: seeing his line bro for word and stuff like that.

- 10:44Speaker 1: the mare with the young white kid, Zaka nors As.
- 10:48Speaker 1: If you guys for the video I see where we volked.
- 10:50Speaker 1: TV also posted it. If you watch the video, you
- 10:53Speaker 1: will see how the also so when they got to
- 10:55Speaker 1: the scene, they immediately take the kid to the floor
- 10:59Speaker 1: off we had cuffs on him and let the young
- 11:01Speaker 1: white kid walk and now he's dance from the mall
- 11:06Speaker 1: for three years. I saw that. Yeah, that is crazy.
- 11:09Speaker 1: I mean, I seen that. I was. I was highly
- 11:11Speaker 1: upset with that. I mean, and there was no reason
- 11:14Speaker 1: to tackle him on the floor. They were fighting. They
- 11:16Speaker 1: should have broke both of those up. But yeah, you
- 11:17Speaker 1: could tell that they attackled him to the floor because
- 11:19Speaker 1: he was black. There was no other reason why the
- 11:20Speaker 1: tackle one to the floor, not the other one, No
- 11:22Speaker 1: other reason. Yeah. Governor Murphy released his statement, and you
- 11:26Speaker 1: know he said that the appearance of what is racially
- 11:29Speaker 1: disparate treatment is deeply, deeply disturbing. But it's like, Okay,
- 11:33Speaker 1: after you released that statement, now what what we're gonna do.
- 11:36Speaker 1: What's completely disciplinary action against the police. What's gonna happen
- 11:39Speaker 1: because they sat one kid down. They didn't. They didn't,
- 11:41Speaker 1: they didn't send him down aggressively. He sat down on
- 11:43Speaker 1: his own. He got back up when the other kid
- 11:45Speaker 1: was getting arrested like that. It was I couldn't imagine
- 11:48Speaker 1: that being my son. And and and if you look
- 11:50Speaker 1: at how the fight started, you see that the white
- 11:53Speaker 1: kid was the one that actually started the fight. He
- 11:56Speaker 1: started the fight. And then what happen is the white
- 11:59Speaker 1: kid got the best of the black kid at first,
- 12:01Speaker 1: and then the black kid turned it around and started
- 12:02Speaker 1: whopping his ass. And the cops kid, it's crazy. It's crazy.
- 12:04Speaker 1: Even the cops sitting the white dude down on the
- 12:06Speaker 1: couch like get comfortable, then goes over to the white
- 12:08Speaker 1: the black guy to help arrest the crazy. That's why
- 12:10Speaker 1: that is ridiculous. And they were bullying him. So I'm
- 12:13Speaker 1: gonna talk further with the family. We're probably gonna go
- 12:15Speaker 1: out there this weekend, you know, my partner, Donna Jackson
- 12:17Speaker 1: I and do a live because want to see what
- 12:19Speaker 1: the thing of hobby. Want to move on it, but
- 12:21Speaker 1: we have to we have to further bring this, bring
- 12:23Speaker 1: awareness to this and and see what Governor Murphy gonna do.
- 12:26Speaker 1: And we're gonna call him out and see what you're
- 12:28Speaker 1: gonna do, Governor Murphy, what you're gonna do? And also
- 12:30Speaker 1: why we don't know the name of the officers? Like
- 12:32Speaker 1: I always wonder about these stories, and you know, we
- 12:34Speaker 1: know that we know the young black man's name, but
- 12:35Speaker 1: why we don't know the name of office. They didn't
- 12:37Speaker 1: post him. I didn't see him nowhere. I thought they did.
- 12:39Speaker 1: I'm not saying they didn't, but I didn't see out
- 12:42Speaker 1: the city. I thought they did. But I wasn't looking
- 12:44Speaker 1: for their names though anyway. But yeah, no, it's so
- 12:47Speaker 1: it was so just disgusting and and definitely praying for
- 12:50Speaker 1: that family man because you know what type of trauma
- 12:52Speaker 1: that young man's gonna have for the rest of his life.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Exactly exactly. My goodness, Well, thank you for calling. Okay,
- 12:58Speaker 1: thank god you'd be safe out there. Ben Crump is
- 13:00Speaker 1: already on the case too, by the way, Yes he is.
- 13:03Speaker 1: He's representing the family. Oh good Hello, who's this Mike?
- 13:07Speaker 1: Mike what I'm getting off her chests? Yeah? Man, I
- 13:10Speaker 1: want to put my contract on the blast who's been
- 13:13Speaker 1: doing work on my house. He hasn't done any work
- 13:15Speaker 1: this year. Now what what? What? Whek are you getting done? Well?
- 13:21Speaker 1: I called y'all for the Christmas for the change for change,
- 13:25Speaker 1: and I told y'all I had a fire and I
- 13:29Speaker 1: remember they didn't win to rise the crib, so my
- 13:33Speaker 1: water pipes popped. Like everything that could go wrong, it's
- 13:37Speaker 1: been going wrong. Did insurance company pay you or they're
- 13:40Speaker 1: paying the contractor directly, they're paying you. They paid the bank,
- 13:43Speaker 1: They paid the bank, so you got the money. No, no, no,
- 13:46Speaker 1: I've given them payments as they have asked for it,
- 13:49Speaker 1: and they just haven't done the work. Okay, Because what
- 13:52Speaker 1: I what I tell everybody doing. I know a lot
- 13:54Speaker 1: of people that call me and they have a problem
- 13:55Speaker 1: of contractors. What I tell people to do is this
- 13:58Speaker 1: when when you when you speak to the contract you
- 13:59Speaker 1: find out what supplies you need right, because you know
- 14:02Speaker 1: you're gonna need supplies, whether it's wood, whether it's lumber,
- 14:04Speaker 1: whether it's sheet rock, whether it's nails, bolts, wood, floors, lights, lighting, fiction.
- 14:09Speaker 1: You find out what you need right, give him a list,
- 14:11Speaker 1: you purchase the stuff that you need right, and then
- 14:14Speaker 1: you pay the contractor when he gets the work. Done
- 14:17Speaker 1: so that that way, there's no you don't have to
- 14:19Speaker 1: give nobody up. But like, what do you need up
- 14:20Speaker 1: front money for? I'm paying for the supplies. I have
- 14:23Speaker 1: the supplies, I own the supplies. Now I'm paying you
- 14:25Speaker 1: for your work. I pay you hourly for what you work.
- 14:28Speaker 1: That saves a lot of money, That saves a lot
- 14:30Speaker 1: of problems, and that saves situations like that. And I
- 14:32Speaker 1: tell everybody it takes a little extra time, but it
- 14:35Speaker 1: will save you money and you don't have that problem
- 14:37Speaker 1: of contractors. I do that for every project that I do.
- 14:40Speaker 1: I buy the supplies myself, which I knew that before.
- 14:43Speaker 1: Now I saw good. I mean, it was a learning
- 14:45Speaker 1: lesson I had to, believe me. Angelie knows. I had
- 14:47Speaker 1: to learn the hardware as well. But you know, you

- 16:10Speaker 1: right now she's well, she's fifty six years old. Even
- 16:13Speaker 1: though she's fifty seven. She missed, she misspoke on her age.
- 16:15Speaker 1: It happens, but here's what she had to say. All
- 16:20Speaker 1: and then get back to New York and get all down.
- 16:25Speaker 1: It might be Williams shot. So wait, Wendy Show, not
- 16:28Speaker 1: her page, no more. This is a personal page. So
- 16:32Speaker 1: maybe she's using that for business her show. But this
- 16:36Speaker 1: is a personal page, only two posts on it, so
- 16:38Speaker 1: she just made it. Yeah. So she said that things
- 16:41Speaker 1: usually start about forty and they go up from there.
- 16:43Speaker 1: So you have to eat the right food, make sure
- 16:45Speaker 1: you take care of yourself and all of that. But
- 16:47Speaker 1: it looks like she is talking about coming back to
- 16:49Speaker 1: New York and getting back to the Wendy Williams Show. Well,
- 16:52Speaker 1: I'm sending to Wendy Williams healing energy always, and I
- 16:54Speaker 1: hope she does get back, and I hope she's able
- 16:56Speaker 1: to come back, do the show for a while and
- 16:58Speaker 1: go out the way she wants to go out. And
- 17:00Speaker 1: I hope, you know, we see a different version of
- 17:02Speaker 1: Wendy Williams when she comes back. I hope we see
- 17:04Speaker 1: a version of Wendy who isn't projecting her pain on
- 17:07Speaker 1: to other people. That's what I hope for Wendy Williams.
- 17:10Speaker 1: All right, now, let's talk about new Edition. As you know,
- 17:14Speaker 1: they are going on a nationwide tour and they sat
- 17:17Speaker 1: down with Tamin Hall to discuss what they have going
- 17:20Speaker 1: on and share a few stories they've never previously spoken about,
- 17:24Speaker 1: and also how they're prepping for their first tour in
- 17:26Speaker 1: a decade. Here's what happened when I look back at
- 17:29Speaker 1: those videos, especially Candy Girl, that very first moment we
- 17:34Speaker 1: saw this magic. When did you know or were you
- 17:37Speaker 1: too young to understand it? I think I knew from
- 17:40Speaker 1: the beginning, as much rehearsal as we used to do,
- 17:45Speaker 1: with as many shows as we used to do, talent
- 17:48Speaker 1: show to talent show to talent show. It was just
- 17:51Speaker 1: something that I knew that it could happen for us.
- 17:56Speaker 1: Watching Soul Train just you know further and being on
- 17:59Speaker 1: Soul Train just further instilled a meaning for um confirmation, confirmation,
- 18:05Speaker 1: Yes that we were we were gonna, you know, make it.
- 18:08Speaker 1: That's my favorite R and B group. I love New Edition.
- 18:11Speaker 1: Anytime they come in town, I take the kids, I
- 18:13Speaker 1: take the family. I really love them. They are some
- 18:16Speaker 1: really good brothers. I'm going shout out to Ralph's schedule.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Uncle Bid. I know we're in Atlanta on Sunday, and
- 18:27Speaker 1: I'm in Atlanta right now, but unfortunately I'm coming back
- 18:29Speaker 1: because that was the plan. But you know, we got
- 18:31Speaker 1: to figure it out. It's a nice trip to take
- 18:34Speaker 1: to some yes, and my kid My kids love new
- 18:37Speaker 1: Edition like they love them. I'll go someplace warm when
- 18:40Speaker 1: it becomes the Charlotte somewhere in South Carolina. But I
- 18:43Speaker 1: think it's warm in Atlanta now right. I think it's
- 18:45Speaker 1: like seventy threes this weekend. Yeah, I think it's gonna
- 18:48Speaker 1: get a little bit warmer here. It's been a little chilly,
- 18:50Speaker 1: but it's not too bad. It's not like New York cold.
- 18:52Speaker 1: All right. Now Here is what they had to say.
- 18:55Speaker 1: Hibby Brown had to say about getting back to dancing
- 18:58Speaker 1: and doing all his moves because you know he is
- 19:00Speaker 1: known for that. Every eye has to be dotted and
- 19:02Speaker 1: every team has to be crossed in order to perform
- 19:05Speaker 1: with these guys. Um, I'm just getting back into it. Um,
- 19:10Speaker 1: really trying hard. It's difficult to do the dance steps
- 19:13Speaker 1: after you haven't been doing them for a while. Um.
- 19:17Speaker 1: It's about muscle memory and I'm trying to get that back. Bobby,
- 19:21Speaker 1: I promise you will. You understand we will not hold
- 19:24Speaker 1: it against you if you have lost a step or two. Okay,
- 19:27Speaker 1: you're still Bobby Browns. And no jokes, by the way,
- 19:32Speaker 1: nobody that's right And when you try and when you
- 19:34Speaker 1: add a new audition show, you're trying to do the dances,
- 19:36Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So you're really not paying
- 19:38Speaker 1: that much attention to the fact that they might be
- 19:40Speaker 1: a little off. Be we all understand we old now,
- 19:42Speaker 1: Bobby were all old. Now. I would love to see
- 19:44Speaker 1: them at Essence again. I see them in Essence and
- 19:47Speaker 1: they performed amazing, irobably not doing All Star this shit,
- 19:49Speaker 1: but Cleveland. But they are going to be at the
- 19:52Speaker 1: Garden next Saturday, just I mean on the twenty six.
- 19:55Speaker 1: Is that next Saturday? Yeah? All right? Now, really there
- 19:58Speaker 1: we go. Now you're talking m all right now, and
- 20:02Speaker 1: I've been telling Yell about m Day the musical to Play,
- 20:05Speaker 1: and tamon Hart also referenced the Michael Jackson Musical to Play.
- 20:09Speaker 1: And here's what she said, Jolls went to see the
- 20:11Speaker 1: Michael Jackson musical on Broadway, and Ralph to know that
- 20:15Speaker 1: y'all beat Michael Jackson and the billboard you topped Michael Jackson.
- 20:20Speaker 1: At the time, we didn't know either. We didn't know
- 20:22Speaker 1: what we did. We didn't know what type of accomplishment
- 20:24Speaker 1: that billboard charts were and all that. We just heard
- 20:27Speaker 1: that we were this you know, we knew that that
- 20:28Speaker 1: was a countdown of the music and the best music
- 20:31Speaker 1: that's out right now. So when we heard that we
- 20:33Speaker 1: beat Michael, that was just all that meant to us. Well,
- 20:36Speaker 1: we beat Michael Jackson, we must be doing good. M Well,
- 20:42Speaker 1: there you have it, So guys, get ready for that
- 20:44Speaker 1: tour to kick off. All right, The Tender Swindler has
- 20:48Speaker 1: signed with a Hollywood agent. I know you haven't seen
- 20:50Speaker 1: the Netflix documentary yet, The Tender Swindler, but you guys
- 20:53Speaker 1: should definitely watch that. Yeah, he was he actually went
- 20:58Speaker 1: to jail, like he only went for like fourteen months,
- 21:00Speaker 1: but he can one woman out of half a million dollars.
- 21:03Speaker 1: I mean, these women were thinking that he was pretending
- 21:06Speaker 1: his dad was like a diamond He sold diamonds and
- 21:10Speaker 1: had a huge diamond corporation, and he had all this
- 21:13Speaker 1: money and he was doing stuff like putting women on
- 21:15Speaker 1: these private jets to come see him places. But then
- 21:18Speaker 1: he was like, oh I got in trouble, I got
- 21:20Speaker 1: beat up, my security got beat up. I need money
- 21:22Speaker 1: to get out of here. They froze my accounts. So
- 21:24Speaker 1: he was definitely swindling these women out of money. So
- 21:27Speaker 1: you can imagine the long lasting trauma and not to
- 21:30Speaker 1: mention the financial trauma that they've had from dealing with him. Well,
- 21:34Speaker 1: now it looks like he wants to cash in on
- 21:36Speaker 1: everybody talking about him, and he is talking about doing
- 21:41Speaker 1: a podcast where he's gonna share his dating dues and
- 21:43Speaker 1: don't He also has been banned from all dating apps
- 21:46Speaker 1: and deleted his Instagram account after that documentary came out.
- 21:50Speaker 1: But now he's talking about, you know, doing different things
- 21:53Speaker 1: and trying to get into acting and finding love. He
- 21:56Speaker 1: wants to do a dating show and all of that.
- 21:59Speaker 1: My question, one thing like that happen is why you
- 22:01Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like when I talk about d
- 22:03Speaker 1: ride and dysfunction, this is what I'm talking about. You mean, like,
- 22:05Speaker 1: why would an agent sign him knowing that he's a
- 22:07Speaker 1: known con man? Because the Tender Swindler documentary is like
- 22:12Speaker 1: it's a documentary, right, yes, so it's a doc that
- 22:15Speaker 1: people watching they're interested in, you know, the world. That
- 22:18Speaker 1: doesn't mean necessarily interested in him as an individual enough
- 22:22Speaker 1: to want to follow him. He's got a start to
- 22:24Speaker 1: be interested in him and how he swindled these women
- 22:26Speaker 1: and they did. It's in the doc That's why you
- 22:28Speaker 1: watched the dock. But if he does a podcast, he'll
- 22:29Speaker 1: so you know, the signs and things from his point
- 22:31Speaker 1: of view. The same reason why people when like somebody
- 22:34Speaker 1: breaks into the government building on you know, on the internet,
- 22:37Speaker 1: and then the government highest You don't feel like we're
- 22:40Speaker 1: rewarding bad behavior by doing that. Well, people are looking
- 22:42Speaker 1: for a check. That's why they're looking for money. I
- 22:44Speaker 1: think it's very wet and it says a lot and
- 22:46Speaker 1: you can't complain, you know about things like that, but
- 22:49Speaker 1: then sign it and empower it, you know what I mean.
- 22:52Speaker 1: That's the same thing when people do when they catch
- 22:53Speaker 1: these drug dealers or these people that sold a lot
- 22:55Speaker 1: of drugs, and then when they come home, they give
- 22:58Speaker 1: him a book, they give them a movie. You know,
- 23:00Speaker 1: it's almost like rewarding those stories are interesting some people.
- 23:03Speaker 1: He's an interesting story, you know what I mean. He
- 23:05Speaker 1: will find it's interesting too. I don't mind the story
- 23:07Speaker 1: being told, but signing him as an individual and you know,
- 23:10Speaker 1: putting him out to the public and acting like he's
- 23:12Speaker 1: some celebrity like nah, that's why people do it. You're
- 23:14Speaker 1: just rewarding all right. Now Front page news is coming up.
- 23:18Speaker 1: That is your rumor report. We'll be talking about the
- 23:20Speaker 1: Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams. He met with

- 24:25Speaker 1: in the Mary. Yes. Mayor Eric Adams revealed yesterday he'll
- 24:29Speaker 1: be rolling out something about drill music. Remember, he called
- 24:33Speaker 1: out social media companies. He wants them to remove the
- 24:36Speaker 1: violence glorifying genre from those platforms. He compared it to
- 24:40Speaker 1: Donald Trump making the remarks that he made and being
- 24:43Speaker 1: banned from social media platforms and being banned from Twitter
- 24:47Speaker 1: because of that. And he said, if it would be
- 24:49Speaker 1: irresponsible to continue to give violent rap music videos a platform.
- 24:54Speaker 1: Here were his initial remarks. And I had no idea
- 24:58Speaker 1: what drill rapping was. I called my son and he
- 25:02Speaker 1: sent me some videos and it is alarming. And we
- 25:07Speaker 1: are going to pull together the social media companies and
- 25:12Speaker 1: sit down with them and state that you have a
- 25:16Speaker 1: civic in corporate responsibility, you know, I mean, we pulled
- 25:20Speaker 1: a Trump off Twitter because of what he would speaking with.
- 25:25Speaker 1: All right, so now he has sat down with people
- 25:29Speaker 1: like he was with five year four in he was
- 25:32Speaker 1: with Mayno so he was with slow Bucks, both of
- 25:37Speaker 1: them slowing Bucks. And here is what Mano had to
- 25:40Speaker 1: say as he posted a very much needed conversation and
- 25:43Speaker 1: a lot of talk about drial rap, drial music, New
- 25:45Speaker 1: York City connecting violence. We did with the coaching and
- 25:50Speaker 1: just wanted the created conversations. Man, you were five year
- 25:54Speaker 1: a head. We gotta be love here. We got slow
- 25:57Speaker 1: Bucks here, we gotta cleasy and to talk about, you know,
- 26:01Speaker 1: what's really happening. So mad to get a real respective
- 26:04Speaker 1: and a real understanding of what real rap is and
- 26:07Speaker 1: so that you know, we do have some real guy
- 26:09Speaker 1: though and really start to really make things happen. Yeah,
- 26:14Speaker 1: I'm not for censorship, but I am for sense search ship,
- 26:19Speaker 1: meaning folks should have the sense to not commit violent crimes.
- 26:22Speaker 1: But if they do, you know, please have the sense
- 26:24Speaker 1: to not wrap about it, and please have the sense
- 26:26Speaker 1: to not post, you know, videos about it, incriminating yourself
- 26:29Speaker 1: and taunting people and traumatizing you know, families of the
- 26:32Speaker 1: people that you've killed. And if you don't have the
- 26:33Speaker 1: sense to do that, then yes, those platforms do need
- 26:36Speaker 1: to have the sense to not give those kind of videos.
- 26:39Speaker 1: A platform can't he can't sense to the music. But
- 26:42Speaker 1: if if you're putting violence on these platforms, these platforms
- 26:44Speaker 1: have the right to pull down if you're showing guns,
- 26:46Speaker 1: if you're showing drugs or whatever. They want to do that.
- 26:48Speaker 1: They do it for any other thing. But you can't
- 26:50Speaker 1: sense to the music. But no, here's the thing, it's
- 26:52Speaker 1: not about sense of the music. How about them brothers
- 26:53Speaker 1: should sense to theirself. Number one, they shouldn't be committing
- 26:55Speaker 1: the crimes, that's number one. And number two, why go
- 26:58Speaker 1: incriminate yourself one records and talk about it, buy incriminate
- 27:00Speaker 1: yourself in videos? They definitely should. How about they should
- 27:04Speaker 1: be censoring theirselves. And if we know we are inciting violence,
- 27:07Speaker 1: why would we continue to do that by giving it
- 27:09Speaker 1: a platform. But I also think we need more of
- 27:11Speaker 1: these conversations like like they had, And I think we
- 27:14Speaker 1: need more of the homies that people respect to sit down.
- 27:17Speaker 1: I remember a while ago when Pop Smoke and Casting
- 27:21Speaker 1: Over were having problems. Somebody sat them down and they
- 27:24Speaker 1: sat in the same restaurant and they squashed out, they
- 27:26Speaker 1: talked out their beef and then they were good. And
- 27:28Speaker 1: I think we need more of that because some of
- 27:29Speaker 1: this is very stupid. It could be over uh, something
- 27:33Speaker 1: very small and minute that they could have squashed and
- 27:35Speaker 1: we don't have to go through this. But they need
- 27:36Speaker 1: somebody that you know, they mutually respect to sit down
- 27:38Speaker 1: and have a conversation. And we need more of that. Yeah,
- 27:41Speaker 1: And the root cause of the violence is not the
- 27:43Speaker 1: drill music. You know, art reflects life, So what's creating
- 27:47Speaker 1: that life? You know for these people to wrap about? Society?
- 27:51Speaker 1: Society has felt a lot of these individuals over social media.
- 27:55Speaker 1: Could be over a girl, it could be over money, yes,
- 27:59Speaker 1: but how about society has failed these individuals because they
- 28:01Speaker 1: haven't provided provided these communities with the resources and the opportunities,
- 28:04Speaker 1: you know, to have a different life to wrap about.
- 28:07Speaker 1: That's true. You also, it's not the root causough, it
- 28:09Speaker 1: isn't the music. It's definitely an ongoing conversation that's going
- 28:13Speaker 1: to require multiple ways of trying to fix things. And
- 28:17Speaker 1: so and I will say this. I saw how you
- 28:21Speaker 1: know Mayor Eric Adams, he's our new mayor, but when
- 28:23Speaker 1: he was the brooklyn Borough president, we did a whole
- 28:25Speaker 1: piece march that was pulled together by Bishop Lamar Whitehead.
- 28:28Speaker 1: And he's been having these conversations with five year foreign
- 28:31Speaker 1: they did this whole day of Peace thing during Jube,
- 28:33Speaker 1: which is the day before the West Indian Americans Day Parade.
- 28:36Speaker 1: And so they've been talking about this stopping the violence,
- 28:39Speaker 1: and it isn't going to stop that. We have to
- 28:41Speaker 1: keep it going and keep the conversation open. Yeah, all right,
- 28:45Speaker 1: well that is your front page news, all right. Now,
- 28:49Speaker 1: when we come back, come on, pull up some merry music,
- 28:53Speaker 1: man cultural icon to get in a move for that legend,

- 30:28Speaker 1: thought it was important when he said no more drama
- 30:30Speaker 1: because of the climate of the world right now, just

- 31:56Speaker 1: in on all of them, fatiguing of it and you know,
- 32:00Speaker 1: making sure it's right and making sure the colors right
- 32:02Speaker 1: and the last decision is mine and a lot and um,
- 32:06Speaker 1: that's what we had on. You know, I kept thinking,
- 32:08Speaker 1: I said, if Andre could have saw you Sunday, like
- 32:11Speaker 1: that was the person I really wanted to hear from
- 32:13Speaker 1: because he saw it. You know from the beginning, did
- 32:16Speaker 1: you did you think about him a lot? He saw me, Yeah, definitely,
- 32:18Speaker 1: he saw me. He was so I'm sure he was
- 32:21Speaker 1: proud I got you know, puff was just um elated,
- 32:25Speaker 1: like he just losing his mind. You know, my family
- 32:27Speaker 1: was there, Um, and my friends. If it wasn't from
- 32:31Speaker 1: my friends Jimmy, Andre, you know, it wouldn't have happened.
- 32:34Speaker 1: So I do have beautiful friends in the industry. Because
- 32:37Speaker 1: I said you were nervous, of course I was. I
- 32:39Speaker 1: was nervous at rehearsals. I was nervous period, But when
- 32:42Speaker 1: I hit that stage, I was like whatever, you know,
- 32:46Speaker 1: so when you fell out, that was really just you
- 32:48Speaker 1: getting a little rest like because he was like, no,
- 32:54Speaker 1: that's that's just that's a sign of like how I felt,
- 32:58Speaker 1: you know, like you know, just get tired of you know,
- 33:00Speaker 1: so he's like, just pass out. That's what normal drama means. Like, uh,
- 33:04Speaker 1: you know, I know the world, want to just pass
- 33:06Speaker 1: out right now, you know if from all of this,
- 33:07Speaker 1: foolish man. You know, when I think back about you
- 33:11Speaker 1: know when when Andy said he went to your apartment
- 33:13Speaker 1: back in the day, and you're saying for him, when
- 33:15Speaker 1: you think about that, young lady, did you see this?
- 33:18Speaker 1: Did you see moments like this happening? Did you think
- 33:20Speaker 1: it would go this far? Absolutely not. Wow, I did
- 33:24Speaker 1: not think it would. I didn't think I would live
- 33:26Speaker 1: past my life. Hmm. But I'm here and now I'm
- 33:31Speaker 1: here here, and now I want to be here. Now
- 33:33Speaker 1: that's it. You know, nobody can stop that. Absolutely. We
- 33:37Speaker 1: also talk about Doctor Dres saying that he wants to
- 33:39Speaker 1: produce that the next album. Did you have a conversation.
- 33:42Speaker 1: Was that planning or that something he just slipped up
- 33:43Speaker 1: and said the other day, No, that was something we
- 33:46Speaker 1: we didn't We didn't plan it. We was talking about
- 33:48Speaker 1: it because um, that was something I always wanted to do,
- 33:51Speaker 1: like do a produced album by Doctor Dre because all
- 33:54Speaker 1: everything he does, you know you're gonna get smashes and
- 33:55Speaker 1: you know it's going to be excellent because Drey's you know, amazing.
- 33:59Speaker 1: And I was like, Yo, this was a dream. This
- 34:01Speaker 1: is a dream come true for me. I would I
- 34:03Speaker 1: want you to produce an album for me? And he
- 34:05Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, it's a dream come true
- 34:07Speaker 1: for me. And then boom, like here we are. It's
- 34:09Speaker 1: really happening. Really, like will he really do it? Though?
- 34:13Speaker 1: I mean, do you know the rock Him album? Like
- 34:19Speaker 1: I don't think so. We look forward to it and
- 34:21Speaker 1: it doesn't happen, Na, not with me because I'm on
- 34:24Speaker 1: it all over it Like I've been on a sense
- 34:27Speaker 1: I've said something like I've been like, yo, let's listen. Yo,
- 34:30Speaker 1: we had the listening session. I've been and he's been
- 34:32Speaker 1: sending you know, stuff back to me. So it's really
- 34:35Speaker 1: gonna happen. Absolutely, let's talk Hello, gorgeous, good morning, gorgeous,
- 34:40Speaker 1: Good morning, gorgeous, gorgeous. But you said, um, the name
- 34:44Speaker 1: of the album. Tell people if they haven't heard the album,
- 34:46Speaker 1: how'd you come up with the name of the album.
- 34:48Speaker 1: It was dope. What the name of the album came
- 34:50Speaker 1: from it. It's not it's not good morning gorgeous. It's
- 34:52Speaker 1: not anything. There's nothing vain about that. It's a positive affirmation.
- 34:56Speaker 1: It's something I had to say to myself when I
- 34:57Speaker 1: was in him very very dark situ because I was
- 35:01Speaker 1: never enough. I couldn't please this person. Nothing was never enough.
- 35:04Speaker 1: So I was like, Okay, maybe this person hates me
- 35:07Speaker 1: more than I hate me. So I had to find
- 35:09Speaker 1: a way to love myself out of that situation. And
- 35:12Speaker 1: so I would get up in the morning and first
- 35:15Speaker 1: thing in the morning. And the reason why I chose
- 35:17Speaker 1: first thing in the morning because nobody looks beautiful or
- 35:19Speaker 1: anything or thinks anything about themselves in the morning except
- 35:21Speaker 1: I'm away, and I said, um, I would say go
- 35:24Speaker 1: to Marry and say good morning, gorgeous, good morning, beautiful,
- 35:26Speaker 1: good morning Mary, good morning, something that I wanted to
- 35:29Speaker 1: feel good about. And that's where the title came from,
- 35:32Speaker 1: me loving my way out of some hell. And that's
- 35:36Speaker 1: why title was an album, Good Morning Gorgeous. In the
- 35:40Speaker 1: studio yeah, okay, yeah, I wasn't in the studio with her.
- 35:43Speaker 1: I always I always wanted to work with her, and
- 35:45Speaker 1: Lucky Days, a really good friend of mine, And when
- 35:48Speaker 1: we got to the session, her was like, well, what
- 35:50Speaker 1: do you want to talk about? And everybody just started
- 35:52Speaker 1: talking about what they think it should be about. And
- 35:54Speaker 1: I was holding back on the title. I didn't want
- 35:56Speaker 1: to give it up because I felt so vulnerable. I
- 35:58Speaker 1: didn't so much away. I was like, excuse me. I
- 36:01Speaker 1: was like, um, okay, I have this title. It's called
- 36:04Speaker 1: good Morning Gorgeous. And everybody said, oh, you know, everybody's like, oh,
- 36:07Speaker 1: good morning gorgeous. And I started telling everybody you heard
- 36:10Speaker 1: the loud about where it came from, and um, it's
- 36:14Speaker 1: here now, the whole thing, you know. And it's not
- 36:16Speaker 1: because of like I'm sitting around thinking I'm Appolloni and
- 36:19Speaker 1: halle Berry because they you know, you think of them,
- 36:21Speaker 1: it's like, oh they're gorgeous, you know. But it's it's
- 36:23Speaker 1: something I had to say to myself so I can
- 36:26Speaker 1: manifest something positive and if in me about me and
- 36:29Speaker 1: love my and and now I love me really really,
- 36:32Speaker 1: you know. And and hey, i think I've looked pretty
- 36:35Speaker 1: damn good, you know what I'm saying. But I'm oh, yeah,
- 36:37Speaker 1: you thought that's just the real love video what are
- 36:39Speaker 1: you talking about? But I haven't But but I didn't
- 36:42Speaker 1: even think that. Then you see what I'm saying. So
- 36:44Speaker 1: this has been a lot. And then when you get
- 36:46Speaker 1: with somebody and then they just take you way down
- 36:49Speaker 1: further than what you already were, you start to realize, Nah,
- 36:52Speaker 1: you know, my life is more important than someone taking
- 36:55Speaker 1: it away from me, like you know. So all right,
- 36:58Speaker 1: when we come back, we got more with Mary jay blin.
- 37:00Speaker 1: Let's get into a married mini mix. Man. Mary said,
- 37:03Speaker 1: it's the breakfast Club. Good Morning, I'm marrying Jickly, I'm
- 37:13Speaker 1: marrying him live. They was, I'm Mary, y'all tucking Mary,
- 37:18Speaker 1: don't know of you, I'm day Morning. Everybody's DJ Envy,
- 37:31Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are the breakfast Club.
- 37:34Speaker 1: That was a married mini mix. Mary j Blige is
- 37:37Speaker 1: here straight off the Super Bowl. I've seen your interview
- 37:39Speaker 1: with with Andre. You were talking about you were so
- 37:41Speaker 1: low that you had to go on tour to get
- 37:43Speaker 1: back up. Yes, he wiped you dry, so all that
- 37:46Speaker 1: was true. Yeah, So so you know, everybody wanted to
- 37:49Speaker 1: know what the Rent Money song was about. That's what
- 37:51Speaker 1: I wrote that song with Um the writers during that time,
- 37:57Speaker 1: because when I had to pay us alum on and
- 38:00Speaker 1: I didn't have no money to pay it, I had
- 38:02Speaker 1: to go on tour to pay it. I had to
- 38:04Speaker 1: go on to it to pay to Alumoni, had to
- 38:05Speaker 1: go and pay on to it to pay the rent
- 38:07Speaker 1: because he had spent all the money by the time
- 38:09Speaker 1: I got to um the deposition and saw everything that
- 38:14Speaker 1: he did, like I didn't have a dollar left, like
- 38:18Speaker 1: he had spent everything, and he knew he spent everything,
- 38:20Speaker 1: but still asking me for more money. So that was
- 38:23Speaker 1: about a vacancy, you know. You know, if you can't
- 38:25Speaker 1: you know, rent, money's about a vacancy. That was about that,
- 38:28Speaker 1: you know. No, when you say no money, like zero
- 38:30Speaker 1: dollars like Mary J. Blige broke it probably different than
- 38:32Speaker 1: everybody else. Bro Yeah, I mean I guess that's that's
- 38:36Speaker 1: what you want to call it. But it wasn't enough
- 38:38Speaker 1: to pay alimony, you know, the alimony that he was
- 38:41Speaker 1: asking for, and it was I had to pay my rent,
- 38:44Speaker 1: you know, so you know what I'm saying, Like it
- 38:47Speaker 1: was it was a lot that came with that, and
- 38:50Speaker 1: I had to go to work, you know, And I
- 38:53Speaker 1: think I've been in the industry broke before, like not
- 38:57Speaker 1: broke like you know, like live, you know, like nothing,
- 39:00Speaker 1: but not enough to pay the overhead. We all have
- 39:03Speaker 1: an overhead, you know, And I couldn't get the overhead paid,
- 39:07Speaker 1: so I had to go work for it, you know.
- 39:10Speaker 1: And not that I don't mind. I don't mind working,
- 39:13Speaker 1: but it's just it's just for that I got to
- 39:17Speaker 1: work to pay you money. So how hard is it
- 39:21Speaker 1: like to not reach out to your people? Like you said,
- 39:23Speaker 1: you got a great circle, you know, like from the
- 39:25Speaker 1: holes to the days, Like how hard not to reach
- 39:27Speaker 1: out to them? I don't like that. I don't like
- 39:29Speaker 1: asking people for anything. I have never asked any of
- 39:31Speaker 1: my friends for any money, any of the guys. I know.
- 39:34Speaker 1: I'm a worker. I could my own I got it. Okay, cool,
- 39:37Speaker 1: Oh I gotta do this, no problem. I just don't
- 39:39Speaker 1: want to go to people. I just don't like asking,
- 39:42Speaker 1: you know. That's not my mother raised me, like, don't
- 39:44Speaker 1: you know, if you can do it yourself, don't ask,
- 39:47Speaker 1: you know, And I don't. And I know they don't mind. No,
- 39:49Speaker 1: I know they would all just do it, but I
- 39:52Speaker 1: just don't. I don't like to feel like I old
- 39:54Speaker 1: people stuff. But you showed up for so many people.
- 39:56Speaker 1: I mean, one of my favorite stories is Andrew Martinez book.
- 39:59Speaker 1: When you know she was couldn't pay her rent and
- 40:01Speaker 1: you had a check and you had to ride around
- 40:03Speaker 1: looking for a check cash in place. It's like you've
- 40:04Speaker 1: always showed up for people, but you don't expect that
- 40:07Speaker 1: every turn. I just don't like asking people for stuff.
- 40:09Speaker 1: I really don't especially money. Can I borrow it? It's
- 40:13Speaker 1: just still nuts coming out of my mouth. Can I borrow?
- 40:16Speaker 1: Even though I know you got it? Can I borrow
- 40:17Speaker 1: a million dollars? I don't like it, don't feel it,
- 40:20Speaker 1: doesn't feel right. Wow, and you're such it In New York.
- 40:23Speaker 1: I'm listening to the album I Heard Davis. I hear
- 40:25Speaker 1: five ye Olds. I was working with always the new
- 40:28Speaker 1: up and coming talent amazing. Um Dave is dope talented
- 40:33Speaker 1: artists who always thought provoking in his lyrics and and
- 40:37Speaker 1: a beautiful person. Five always wanted to do a drill
- 40:41Speaker 1: beat song with me. I said, there you go, five
- 40:44Speaker 1: you got it? And Um Anderson Pack always wanted to
- 40:47Speaker 1: always wanted to work with Anderson Pack always and it
- 40:51Speaker 1: was just a lot of fun, Like just just to
- 40:53Speaker 1: hear these guys on the records in the seat and
- 40:55Speaker 1: perform Love without the Heartbreaker is a great record. I
- 40:59Speaker 1: love that record. What was that motivation? You know? Yeah?
- 41:03Speaker 1: What it's saying we all want love, but we don't
- 41:06Speaker 1: want the heartbreak. The heartbreak sucks, like you know then
- 41:10Speaker 1: you know that feeling like damn, like it's over or
- 41:15Speaker 1: I gotta wait or you know whatever. And it reminds
- 41:18Speaker 1: me of how people never they don't a lot of
- 41:20Speaker 1: people say I don't want Mary's music without the heartbreak?
- 41:23Speaker 1: Do you think about that when you approached the studio?
- 41:25Speaker 1: Now I don't think about it no more. I think
- 41:27Speaker 1: about it from where I am, Like, what am I doing?
- 41:30Speaker 1: How am I feeling? I'm not gonna never not have
- 41:32Speaker 1: heartbreak because that's just that's just life. Life is gonna
- 41:36Speaker 1: People are gonna disappoint you. During the Super Bowl ad,
- 41:39Speaker 1: I see you doing an ad for health screening. Did
- 41:42Speaker 1: you have a scare or was it something that you
- 41:43Speaker 1: just like, No, this is want women to start making
- 41:45Speaker 1: sure they test themselves. No. My um I had. My
- 41:48Speaker 1: grandmother died from cervical cancer, two of my aunts died
- 41:51Speaker 1: from breast cancer and lung cancer. My godmother passed away
- 41:55Speaker 1: when I was a little girl from from breast cancer.
- 41:57Speaker 1: And what happened is the reason why I wanted to
- 41:59Speaker 1: do is beca because we don't discuss it in black women.
- 42:03Speaker 1: I've never heard its about a mamogram in my home
- 42:06Speaker 1: before in my life. So when it came to me,
- 42:08Speaker 1: I was like, wow, this is this is perfect because
- 42:10Speaker 1: now I didn't started getting the mamograham till I was forty,
- 42:14Speaker 1: you know, and I and that was because a doctor
- 42:16Speaker 1: said you need to go get a mamograham and I
- 42:19Speaker 1: was like, what's that? And then I went and you know,
- 42:23Speaker 1: they did the whole thing and it's early, early detection,
- 42:27Speaker 1: it can save your life. So um, it was important
- 42:30Speaker 1: for me to share the story about me losing losing
- 42:33Speaker 1: these women. And the reason why it was important is
- 42:36Speaker 1: because they just one day, they just die and everybody said, oh,
- 42:39Speaker 1: someone so die from cancer. You're like, why you know?
- 42:43Speaker 1: And I believe if they had access to this information
- 42:46Speaker 1: or the proper healthcare back in those days, maybe they
- 42:50Speaker 1: I hope that they would have done it. But that's
- 42:52Speaker 1: what causes a lot of you know, African American women
- 42:55Speaker 1: to pass away from breast cancer like that. I'm also
- 42:59Speaker 1: gonna ask, did you ever get a break, Mary, because
- 43:01Speaker 1: even during the pandemic and COVID you were filming, you
- 43:04Speaker 1: were working. Did you ever just rest to say, you
- 43:06Speaker 1: know what, I can just relax now because you're always working.
- 43:09Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm home and I take my rest Seriously. I
- 43:13Speaker 1: sleep hard and play hard. Yeah, I mean I can't.
- 43:17Speaker 1: That's why she took that nap during a halftime, so
- 43:20Speaker 1: she needed a little nap. I was tired. You see
- 43:25Speaker 1: me laying. People talk to you in the street like
- 43:32Speaker 1: you are really money. Now. Hey, they called me moment
- 43:35Speaker 1: that they always called me your mode. I'm like, oh god, no,
- 43:38Speaker 1: please can marry live? Just let mone mode and marry people.
- 43:43Speaker 1: We know how therapeutic music can be. What about what
- 43:45Speaker 1: about acting? Does it feel like an escape when you playing?
- 43:48Speaker 1: It feels like I'm killing everybody I wanted to kill one.
- 43:52Speaker 1: I feel like I'm cursing out everybody I wanted to
- 43:54Speaker 1: curse out when I curse at him. She's definitely my
- 43:57Speaker 1: therapy right now. So you enjoyed your and you clearly
- 44:00Speaker 1: are to join it clearly. Thank you fifty Scent and
- 44:05Speaker 1: Courtney Kemp for this opportunity to just get it all
- 44:10Speaker 1: out for people that don't know. How did that? How
- 44:11Speaker 1: did that come about? Did he reach out to you
- 44:13Speaker 1: or did you reach out to him? How did that happen?
- 44:15Speaker 1: It was a conversation at me. Courtney and fifty had
- 44:17Speaker 1: been having all along about how much I love power,
- 44:21Speaker 1: and they was like, we gotta get you one there.
- 44:23Speaker 1: I said, absolutely, one hundred percent. Just let me know,
- 44:25Speaker 1: you know, hollow when y'a all ready, And they did,
- 44:27Speaker 1: and then we had the meeting and we started discussing.
- 44:30Speaker 1: You know, I started telling my stories about, you know,
- 44:32Speaker 1: this woman that I've grown up where I have all
- 44:35Speaker 1: my friends, damn Neil money and my mother with you know,
- 44:38Speaker 1: without selling the drugs. You just don't play around, so
- 44:40Speaker 1: you know, and pretty much every woman that's that's a
- 44:43Speaker 1: single parent mother, you know, with their husband in jail
- 44:46Speaker 1: or dead or whatever, or or money. So um, when
- 44:50Speaker 1: I went started telling them about the story, you know,
- 44:53Speaker 1: and who I grew up with, they were just fascinated
- 44:55Speaker 1: and adding things and you know, just this character just
- 44:58Speaker 1: was born, like beutiful were you acting before? But is
- 45:01Speaker 1: it hard to get into character every time you take
- 45:03Speaker 1: on one of these jobs? Um? Morne is not hard
- 45:07Speaker 1: to get in you just find something and go, um,
- 45:11Speaker 1: but you envision people when you pull the trigger, like yeah, yeah,
- 45:21Speaker 1: when I did my bound it was it was easy too.
- 45:24Speaker 1: I think I find things that I can really just
- 45:26Speaker 1: get into right away, you know, and and and really
- 45:30Speaker 1: be real with well, I could draw something from out
- 45:33Speaker 1: of me or out of my life into it. And
- 45:35Speaker 1: do you like acting more than music or do you
- 45:36Speaker 1: like music more than acting? Or is it phases? I
- 45:39Speaker 1: love them both the same. I think the acting is
- 45:41Speaker 1: new and it's a challenge, and I love a challenge though,
- 45:45Speaker 1: um that's what's taking a lot of my time right now.
- 45:48Speaker 1: But I love singing too. All right, we got more
- 45:51Speaker 1: with m J B Mary J. Blige. When we come back,
- 45:53Speaker 1: let's get into another Mary mix. I mean, Mary said Derek.

- 50:48Speaker 1: does look like five though it does yeah, but it's
- 50:51Speaker 1: five yeo. All right. But let's get to the room.
- 50:53Speaker 1: Let's let's talk. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Well.
- 51:06Speaker 1: Twenty years later Genius a Kanye trilogy. The first part
- 51:10Speaker 1: has hit Netflix and a lot of people are getting
- 51:13Speaker 1: some insight into Kanye and how things first kicked off
- 51:16Speaker 1: for him. So they're showing him previewing the song. All
- 51:20Speaker 1: falls down in the offices of Rockefeller and basically he
- 51:26Speaker 1: was seen as a producer, but he really wanted to
- 51:27Speaker 1: get signed, and he wanted to get to get signed
- 51:29Speaker 1: on Rockefeller Records. He decides he wants to bum rush
- 51:32Speaker 1: the office play his music and didn't seem like people
- 51:35Speaker 1: were paying too much attention to this hit song. Listen
- 51:38Speaker 1: to this, So she made a daughter, Alexa. She had
- 51:42Speaker 1: his zone that it looked like she cut it all off,
- 51:45Speaker 1: that she liked and she be dealer with some issues
- 51:48Speaker 1: that you can't believe. The single black female addicted to
- 51:51Speaker 1: retail a Well. That was such a very interesting part
- 52:08Speaker 1: of the documentary because it really shows that it does
- 52:10Speaker 1: not matter what other people think of you. It's about
- 52:12Speaker 1: what you think of yourself, and that's why your dreams
- 52:14Speaker 1: and your dreams and nobody else is supposed to believe
- 52:16Speaker 1: in them. But I wonder how other execs, the exects
- 52:20Speaker 1: in that video feel after seeing how they fronted on Kanye,
- 52:23Speaker 1: And I wondered, do you have a vendetta against the
- 52:26Speaker 1: industry if you're Kanye forever because of how they fronted.
- 52:29Speaker 1: But I think it should make you want to go harder.
- 52:31Speaker 1: I mean, I think all of us have been in
- 52:33Speaker 1: a situation where somebody doubted us. No, they didn't doubt him,
- 52:36Speaker 1: They just scraate up was ignoring him. And by the way,
- 52:38Speaker 1: that becomes a hit. That became a hit record. And
- 52:39Speaker 1: this is after Kanye had produced The Blueprint, but a rapper,
- 52:42Speaker 1: he was a producer at the time. Yeah, you know
- 52:45Speaker 1: what I mean? Just think about how many doors close
- 52:47Speaker 1: in your face and you tell us all the time,
- 52:49Speaker 1: you tell me all the time about people said you
- 52:50Speaker 1: would never make it, you will never be and guess
- 52:56Speaker 1: and guess what, I just let that hurt go. I
- 52:59Speaker 1: hated them, niggas you still do, No, I don't, I
- 53:01Speaker 1: really did. Why I refused to brought him on Instagram.
- 53:04Speaker 1: They and you know, I saw I saw a lot
- 53:06Speaker 1: of people saying that they knew this was a hit
- 53:08Speaker 1: song right away and how could anybody not know that
- 53:11Speaker 1: because it do sound dope, But you know, they were
- 53:14Speaker 1: at work in the middle of the work day. He
- 53:15Speaker 1: did try to be composes and I'm sure they and
- 53:18Speaker 1: I'm sure they also knew him well enough that they're like,
- 53:21Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you know people too well, so maybe
- 53:23Speaker 1: you don't take it as seriously because you know them. True,
- 53:26Speaker 1: but it's a record label. Those well we say they
- 53:28Speaker 1: had work. Yeah, I agree, Yeah, it's a record label.
- 53:30Speaker 1: And you know why you see when Kanye you can
- 53:32Speaker 1: walk up to Kanye and the screen and start rapping
- 53:34Speaker 1: and Hill listen, Yeah, it's because of that, because he
- 53:36Speaker 1: knows how it feels to be be front of him. Well,
- 53:38Speaker 1: that's how Big Sean got his deal. He you know,
- 53:40Speaker 1: he walked up to Kanye when he was leaving a
- 53:41Speaker 1: radio station rapping and he signed him all right. Now.
- 53:45Speaker 1: In addition to that, they also talk about the making
- 53:48Speaker 1: of uh Izzo. It's to the Izzo and here is
- 53:53Speaker 1: what that sounded like when he was working with jay
- 53:55Speaker 1: Z on that song. So he's playing that he's fun
- 53:57Speaker 1: to go in the other room. I was like, yo, whole,
- 54:00Speaker 1: I gotta played one more be I gotta played one
- 54:02Speaker 1: and he looked though he tapped me insteads So we
- 54:11Speaker 1: had to figure out the stuff. He had the same
- 54:12Speaker 1: between so it's for the one you used to drimple
- 54:16Speaker 1: down and be a. Then he said he sto is
- 54:19Speaker 1: old B to THEA and he looked at me and
- 54:21Speaker 1: said that's the anthem. Get your damn hands up. I
- 54:25Speaker 1: was like, Mom, we're about to blow up, you blow
- 54:32Speaker 1: I love how he invested. His mom was in his crowd. Absolutely.
- 54:35Speaker 1: Mom knew the lyrics everything. M hm yes. And as
- 54:39Speaker 1: the more famous he got, the more he wanted his
- 54:41Speaker 1: mom around him. I'm sure she kept him grounded and
- 54:43Speaker 1: she was his biggest cheerleader, as we can see in
- 54:46Speaker 1: this scene with Donda. Got a lot of confidence to
- 54:50Speaker 1: come up with a little Eric and even though you're
- 54:52Speaker 1: humbling everything, but it being portant to remember that the
- 54:56Speaker 1: giant looked in the mirror and she's nothing. Told you,
- 54:59Speaker 1: did you think alcohol too arrogant? No? Come on, just
- 55:03Speaker 1: because it's once inside. Because you can't be a star
- 55:05Speaker 1: and not be a star. I think the way you
- 55:07Speaker 1: are hand on yourself. It's really just perfect. But at
- 55:12Speaker 1: the same time, if you remember like to stay on
- 55:16Speaker 1: the ground and you can be in the air all
- 55:18Speaker 1: at the same time. That's what I think it means
- 55:20Speaker 1: when it says the giants in the mirror and sees nothing,
- 55:23Speaker 1: everybody else sees the giant, you know what I mean.
- 55:28Speaker 1: I love that all right, So for everybody who's been watching,
- 55:33Speaker 1: that was just part one of that time. It's really good. Yes,
- 55:36Speaker 1: Paul one was a really good documentary. It makes you
- 55:38Speaker 1: think that even like, you know, when when somebody comes
- 55:42Speaker 1: off as arrogant, right, and when they have nothing, I
- 55:46Speaker 1: get it. That's where the humility comes from having nothing.
- 55:49Speaker 1: But when you get everything right, that money and that
- 55:52Speaker 1: power just multiplies whatever it is you already were, right,
- 55:56Speaker 1: So if you're arrogant, you'd be a hundred times more
- 55:58Speaker 1: arrogant with the money than the But I think it's
- 56:00Speaker 1: also when you are creative and you're doing things and
- 56:03Speaker 1: people are, you know, disrespecting your your talent and disrespecting
- 56:07Speaker 1: you are what you create, and then when it finally pops,
- 56:10Speaker 1: it's almost like you want to give a middle finger
- 56:12Speaker 1: to the world, but you gotta let that hurt go though, right,
- 56:15Speaker 1: it's like a chip, It's like a chip on your shoulder.
- 56:17Speaker 1: And then seeing how much his mother impacted him, and
- 56:20Speaker 1: I think we all knew that, and to have her
- 56:21Speaker 1: not here with him, we don't. I mean, we can't
- 56:24Speaker 1: even imagine how that affects him every day. But I
- 56:28Speaker 1: just feel like, you know, you do have to let
- 56:29Speaker 1: that hurt go, because if not, you end up just
- 56:30Speaker 1: projecting that pain. It's supposed to You're definitely supposed to,
- 56:34Speaker 1: but it's to the point where you know he's not.
- 56:36Speaker 1: He hasn't got his answers to why. I'm sure, like
- 56:39Speaker 1: why you issued on me? Why didn't you listen? It
- 56:41Speaker 1: just didn't get it, and it doesn't matter for him
- 56:44Speaker 1: and Mike. Now you gotta let that hurt go. I
- 56:45Speaker 1: get it, though, but you have to let the hurt go.
- 56:48Speaker 1: I think it's easier said than done. Well, all right,
- 56:52Speaker 1: well that it's easy to say let that hurt go,
- 56:54Speaker 1: but it's not so easy to do it all the time.
- 56:57Speaker 1: All right, Well, that is your rumor reports you should
- 56:59Speaker 1: though for your own well being, you say that, but
- 57:02Speaker 1: there's been there's times, and you know me myself, I
- 57:03Speaker 1: don't let I don't let that go, and it'll eventually cannibally. No,
- 57:07Speaker 1: I'm sure. Yeah, I'm sure eventually cannibal I'm sure, But
- 57:11Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to. You gotta let it go.
- 57:13Speaker 1: It's like holding your poop. Man. Know, when I let
- 57:15Speaker 1: it out, it'll all come all right, guys, diarrhea, everything out.

- 59:03Speaker 1: Donkey to Day for Thursday, February seventeenth goes to forty
- 59:06Speaker 1: three year old Robin Folsom. Do you know who Robin
- 59:08Speaker 1: Folsom is. She's a former Georgia official. She was a
- 59:12Speaker 1: director of External Affairs for the Vocational Rehabilitation Agency. In
- 59:16Speaker 1: between her, Tender Swindler and Zachary Horrowitch, who was sentenced
- 59:20Speaker 1: to twenty years in federal prison for scamming investors out
- 59:23Speaker 1: of an estimated six hundred and fifty million dollars. Scammers
- 59:26Speaker 1: are having the worst week ever. Okay, maybe not tender
- 59:29Speaker 1: Swindler because he just signed to an agency and it
- 59:31Speaker 1: seems like his bad behavior, you know, his scamming ass
- 59:33Speaker 1: ways being rewarded. But people like Robin Folsom are getting
- 59:36Speaker 1: caught up after living their best lies. I'm living my
- 59:39Speaker 1: best lie. All you scammers living your best lies? Intrigued me? Okay,
- 59:44Speaker 1: I can totally understand why you would do a documentary
- 59:47Speaker 1: on the tender Swindler I am fascinated by Zachary Horowitz
- 59:50Speaker 1: story because he raised six hundred and fifty million dollars
- 59:54Speaker 1: from investors, had investors thinking they would be acquiring licensing
- 59:57Speaker 1: rights to films that HBO and Netflix had agreed to
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: distribute abroad. How was that not interesting to someone? If
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: you have ever launched a startup or try to get
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: funding for a project, and you know how hard it
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: is Okay. So to see this man raised six hundred
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars, I'm impressed. Okay, I just sit
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: back and I think to myself, though, like you are
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: Hollywood acted, do you know what kind of independent films
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: you could be producing with that kind of money? If
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: you know those kind of investors, then they clearly believe
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: in you, which is why they gave you that kind
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: of bread to begin with. So why I come up
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: with a scam instead of a legit plan to do
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: the right thing with that money you raised, I don't know. Whatever.
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: It's not about Zachary though, it's about Robbin. Okay, Robin
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: scam is pretty impressive too. Now, she didn't raise nowhere
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: near the money Island did, but her from next game
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: got her what she wanted. Shee. She clearly wanted some
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: time off and wanted to get paid for it, so
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: she decided that maternity leave would be the best option. Well,
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: you need to be pregnant, you know, and have a
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: baby from maternity leave. Right, somebody got to shoot that
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: club up wrong. Not in the scam of verse. In
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: the scam of verse, you can be whatever you need
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: to be to get to the bag. Let go the
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: WSBTV two for the report. Police Robin Folsom earned about
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars a year as the senior communications
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: official with the Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency. Now she's facing
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: a four count indictment that accuses her of faking a
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: couple of pregnancies in order to collect family medical leave
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: pay to which she was not entitled. A co worker
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: saw something very strange and blew the list. We thought
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: there had to be a misunderstanding. We couldn't believe it,
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: State Inspector General Scott McAfee about the tip that led
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: to the indictment of forty three year old Robin Folsom.
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: According to McAfee, one of Folsom's colleagues witnessed what appeared
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: to be a portion of Folsom's stomach come away from
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: her body last March. The co workers suspected Folsom was
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: wearing one of these so called fake pregnancy devices or costumes,
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: which are widely available online. State investigators or the Attorney
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: General's office built this indictment largely around Folsom's alleged lies
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: that included the creation of a fake person to be
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: the fake father. We ultimately didn't find any evidence that
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: he existed, and that's why she's also been charged with
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: identity fraud. She faked a pregnancy. She had a fake
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: baby daddy forty three years old out here, fake in
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: high risk pregnancies. All right, she made up a fake
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: baby daddy. You know what. The dude's name was, Brian
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: Ottomi Bibwe. It spelled ot m e m b e bwe.
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: Sounds Nigerian coincidence for a scamra to choose that name,
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: I think not alright. He was a made up person,
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: and when investigators pressed there on him in October twenty
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: twenty one, she doubled out and said the man really existed,
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: all right. She lied and told the agency that she
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: gave birth once before and July twenty twenty and got
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: pregnant again in August twenty twenty one. But the investigation
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: found there was no official records of Robin Folsom having
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: given birth, and her insurance records didn't indicate any pregnancy
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: our delivery. My problem with people like this, if they
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: are actually smart. She already had a job that was
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: paying one hundred thousand dollars a year in Georgia. That's
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: good money. Okay, these are ingenious ideas these scammers come
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: up with to make money. All they have to do
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: is direct their energy to something legit, and they could
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: actually probably have the same results, the same type of successful.
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: For some reason, they choose a life for crime instead
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: of going into whatever their real passion is. All right,
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: Robin got paid maternity leaves. She had her fake Nigerian

- 1:03:54Speaker 1: who can't even commit to the truth in the way
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: that Robin committed to that lie. So this just shows
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: me that, Robin, whatever you chose to commit to in life,

- 1:06:09Speaker 1: What's up? Trish? Hey? How are you? I'm good? How
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: are you? I'm great? I had a question because me
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: and my boyfriend have been together for about a year
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: and we recently just met his kids back in December,
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: and then his kids mother they end up getting into
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: it about something and now he can't see his kids.
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: I mean, we end up having words, but now you know,
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: like he's like really his filings about his kids of
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: course he can't see them, And I'm just like, should
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: I I don't know if I should like be the
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: bigger person and try to reach out to her or
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: just get some advice on the whole situation on like
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: what what do you think I should do? Well? Do
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: you have a relationship with her at all? Have y'all
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: ever spoken? Are you guys? Cordial? It was. It was
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: not a good interaction. It was not. But then I
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: don't think it's a good idea for you to and yeah,
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: I don't think it's a good idea for you to
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: involve yourself. This is something that you can do with
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: support him and whatever his efforts are, and help give
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: him some solutions and some ideas of what it is
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: that he can do, whether it's something that's legal, whether
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: it's I would first, if I was here, try to
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: approach this thing from a diplomatic situation, maybe talk to
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: her family or another way to go about it. I
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: think it would only make it worse if you try
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: to put yourself in the middle, because that's going to
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: really make her angry. And I'm sure right now she's
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: in her feelings and so you involving yourself and his
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: business with his children is not a good idea. It
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: might actually cause more harm than good. But all you
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: can do is be there for him and let him know. Okay,
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: here's what you know, here's some options of things you
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: can do. Let me know if you need me to
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: do anything, you know, And that's it, because putting yourself
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: in the middle, no or right? Okay, Well, thank you,
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: so much, no problem. I hope you all work it out. Well.
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: I hope he works it out because all she's doing
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: is hurting the children by trying to punish him, right exactly,
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: all right, good luck? Right, all right, we got more
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: ask you when we come back. Don't hope it's the
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: breakfast Club. Good morning, some real advice with Angela gets
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: ask ye. Good morning, it's asking ye Jayla. What is
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: your question? Hi? Um, this is really a question. It's
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: a question for um you atuli, So okay, trying to
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: we're trying to um, you know, get into real estate.
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: We want to do flipping and um get some rental properties,
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: just you know, for some extra cash. And I reached
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: out to this real estate investor, right he has a
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: apprenticeship and um a mentorship program. So we had a
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: meeting with him and everything was good, like the services
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: that he was offering and everything. But when we got
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: to the end of the meeting and he told us
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: the price, it kind of right, So yes, girl, because
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: you could be using that money to actually put into
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: the real estate exactly. And that's what a lot of
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: people were saying. And it's really extensive. It was like
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: over fifteen thousand dollars for a year of mentorship apprenticeship,
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: and you know we don't have the money to do
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: get into somebody, Taylor, can I can? I give you
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: some advice? And this is something that I learned, and
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: I have no people personally who have done this. Why
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: don't you get your real estate license? A lot of
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: people have been saying that, And the only reason I'm
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: just hesitant like that, I don't want to do that.
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: It's because I have no interest to being a realtor. Yeah,
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: but you have interest in doing real estate and flipping properties, right,
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: And I must explain to you why I think it's
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: a good idea. Because if you're going to spend fifteen
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: thousand dollars and do a year apprenticeship, you might as
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: well go on ahead and take those real estate classes online,
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: take the test, get your license, and then you'll have
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: access to properties that people won't get a chance to
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: see before it hits the market. You'll be able to
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: network in that way, and then you also won't have
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: to pay a fee to a realtor if you want
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: to get a property. It just gives you a lot
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: more access and you'll learn a lot and you'll learn
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: a lot more taking these real estate courses than you
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: wouldn't in apprenticeship apprenticeship because you'll learn how all the
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: rules and regulations work. You'll learn how to do everything
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: that you need to do so you won't have to
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: rely on anybody else. That is solid advice, and I
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: have done that advice before too, But I never looked
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: at it like, you know that way from that angle.
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: I just looked at it like I don't want to
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: be a realtor, so yeah, no, and listen, having your
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: real estate license doesn't mean you have to become a realtor,
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: but it's just something that if this is a way
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: you want to make money, you have to be invested
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: in doing that. I actually got my real I took
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: the real estate classes. I just have to take the test.
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: But when I tell you, I learned so much about
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: real estate, about mortgages, about different laws, about how you can,
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: you know, financially protect yourself, all of those things. And
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: for you, if you want to be somebody who's really
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: great at doing this, then I feel like instead of
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: doing a year apprenticeship and paying fifteen thousand dollars to
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: somebody else, the courses were like five hundred dollars online,
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: you know, And that's a real investment. And I think
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: a lot of times we save me want to do things.
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: If you want to do it, take it seriously and
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: do what you need to do for yourself. And this
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: is something that you'll have, you know that I think
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: could be beneficial. Even having your real estate license. If
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: you find a property and you don't buy it and
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: you refer to somebody else, you can get paid off
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: of that too, without even having to buy anything. That
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: is solid advice. Thank you so much, all right, Jayla,
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: good look, get it going, all right? Thank you? All right?
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: That was asking eight hundred five eight five one five
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: one that we got rumors on the way. Yes, And
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: Nick Cannon, is he really trying to get Mariah carry
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: back with that song he put out alone? Well, here's
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: what he had to say when we come back, all right,
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: we'll go to that next. It's the breakfast clubs angela Ye,
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: the breakfast club all right. Well, Nick Cannon is explaining
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: that song alone that he put out. People were saying
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: that he was singing about his ex wife Mariah Carey.
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: And here's what he had to say on his show
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: about that song. Because he also sampled Mariah Carey on
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: that song. You know you realize, man, I really messed
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: up I had. I had a probably the greatest situation
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: I have my dream girl, and I messed it up.
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: So don't don't clamp for that. No, but to be
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: honest and vulnerable, I understand why you're clipping. So the
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: song wasn't really about trying to get her back. It's
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: really said. It was taking ownership of what I did
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: as a man and owning my flaws on it and
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: expressing it through song. Oh so the song was about her. Yeah,
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: so the song is about her, but it wasn't about
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: getting back together. He knows that it's impossible, but he
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: said it was just therapy for him, and I guess
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: he's just being accountable. Now. That's that's impressive too. I
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: wonder when a person realizes that it's over and getting
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: back with that person is not a possibility. I wonder
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: when do you When do you allow yourself to get
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: to that point? And when do you get to that point?
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: When do you realize that? Is what I'm trying to say. Well, yeah,
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: I mean she has a whole new boyfriend now, and
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: he's had several children since then and there and our
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: ten I think that's part of it. So it does
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: take time. I think that's part of it because they
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: both moved on at a particular time and Nick Cannon
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: got about four or five kids after that, so you know, true. Yeah,
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: and he's expecting his eighth child now. So all right. Now,
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: the baby is being sued by Danielay's brother, Brandon Bills,
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: because of their recent fight at that bowling alley that
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: happened in California. So according to the lawsuit, Brandon Bills
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: is saying he walked by the baby and the bowling
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: alley and the baby suddenly attacked him, leaving him with
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: severe injury and pain. He said he didn't fight back,
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: and the baby's saut resulted in physical and psychological damage,
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: plus of medical bills and sustained disability. No, no, no, no, no,
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: he can't do that. That's not how any of this works. Okay.
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: This one of the main issues I have with this error.
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: Nobody wants to deal with the consequences of their actions.
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: You threaten that man, that man, you had an issue
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: with him. You told him when he came to LA
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: it was on site on site, all right, And even
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: after the fact you said you wish you had somebody
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: else with you. You know what I'm saying, because it
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: would have went down a whole different way. So no,
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: you gotta take that hell o King like you just
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: gotta take that hell yeah, I don't understand that. You
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: can't threaten me saying when I see you, it's on site,
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: and then when we see each other we get into
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: it because now I'm on defense. You told me you're
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna put hands over you see me? Right,
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: you said on site, that's what on site means. And
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: then when I see you, I'm scared. I'm defending saying.
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: Any of you people talking about, oh he got jumped,
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: Yes he did get jumped. But guess what, you can't
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: pick the consequences of your actions, you know what I mean?
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: Like I can say anything, I can do anything, but
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: I can't tell somebody else how to respond. That's how
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: they chose to respond. You just gotta take the l
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: my brother, So ell, it is what it is. You'll
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: be okay, all right? And the Guys on His Truth

- 1:15:44Speaker 1: has made famous by people like Justin Bieber, the Kardashians
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: and other stars as well. But there was all kinds
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: of drama that happened, and music was really a part
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: of that. Worship Carl Lenz, pastor Carl Lentz became a
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: star in his own right, but then he had an
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: affair and that contributed to his downfall. So now they're
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: doing a whole documaries on that. Well, salute to my
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: man called Lynch. That's my man, you know, having a
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: I haven't spoken to him in a minute. I'm actually
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: probably hit him up to day, but you know, salute
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: to call Lynch. He's a he's he's a good person.

- 1:16:34Speaker 1: I'm excited to see that because you know, I love
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: Curb Your Enthusiasm. I love Curby Enthusiasm, But I hope
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: that they don't play it safe, you know what I mean,
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: Because Curby Enthusiasm is a show that's been around long
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: before Cancel Culture, you know what I mean. And they've
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: explored a lot of different topics on that show, you know,
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: including you know, the N word and how it's used.
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: So I hope that they don't play it safe. And
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: I hope that they actually have those real conversations about
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: comedy and what comedy was and some of the choices
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: they made on that show, because I feel like they've
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: always made smart choices that something would deem problematic now.
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: But I hope they don't run from it. Yeah, and
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: that show, Curb Your Enthusiasm, had a whole other season.
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: They definitely did not straight away from the controversy. And
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: it's funny, it's smart. So excited to see this. All right. Well,
