- 2:20Speaker 3: We can old. It took us a couple of days
- 2:22Speaker 3: to take that.
- 2:22Speaker 1: And every day I was in terribly, eating a lot
- 2:25Speaker 1: of good soul food, just sleeping a lot like I was.
- 2:29Speaker 1: That that messed me up for sure. Well it's been
- 2:32Speaker 1: right since.
- 2:33Speaker 2: So let's get on into the latest. We broken exclusive
- 2:37Speaker 2: here on the Latest with Laur on the Roads, though,
- 2:39Speaker 2: we did the interview with Misa Hillton's attorney. Mesa Hillton
- 2:43Speaker 2: is a fashion stylist, you know, industry architect of some sorts,
- 2:47Speaker 2: creative director. She's done a bunch of things in the
- 2:50Speaker 2: artistic space when it comes to hip hop and culture. Also,
- 2:54Speaker 2: she shares a kid with Sean Colmes Diddy Justin Colmes.
- 2:57Speaker 2: She currently issuing Mary J.
- 2:59Speaker 3: Blige R. And B singer Mary J.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Blige for five million dollars over a business deal that
- 3:04Speaker 2: they had set up with the Battle. So we talked
- 3:06Speaker 2: to her Aturney yesterday who told us some things. Brandon,
- 3:09Speaker 2: you was here for. You got the answer, you got
- 3:10Speaker 2: to ask some questions. Do you feel like you got
- 3:12Speaker 2: enough answers to your questions?
- 3:14Speaker 1: I mean the attorney he gave a lot of information,
- 3:17Speaker 1: but he didn't have all the answers himself on exactly
- 3:20Speaker 1: when the relationship started going sour. Yeah, what do you
- 3:23Speaker 1: say around around.
- 3:24Speaker 3: New Year's or what he said?
- 3:26Speaker 2: Uh, he said they were in a wulla together and
- 3:28Speaker 2: then he said around super Bowl so that was like February. Yeah,
- 3:32Speaker 2: super Bowls when he's claiming that things got weird between
- 3:36Speaker 2: Misa and Mary J. Blige and that they had actually
- 3:40Speaker 2: try to set it. Go back and listen to the
- 3:41Speaker 2: episode before this about that.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Yeah, but like we said in that episode, there's feels
- 3:45Speaker 1: like there's more to the story and it seems like
- 3:47Speaker 1: more is unwinding.
- 3:48Speaker 3: And well, if you know me to do anything else, okay,
- 3:54Speaker 3: all right, it is. But it's like the way you
- 4:00Speaker 3: think he was calling me a strong black woman. You
- 4:07Speaker 3: were saying, I'm nosy, but I don't know if I
- 4:09Speaker 3: appreciate either one of them.
- 4:10Speaker 1: That's a good word for journalists, that's a compliment.
- 4:13Speaker 3: Okay.
- 4:14Speaker 2: I'm thorough at my work. Okay, But so I do
- 4:17Speaker 2: have an update for you guys. I actually spoke to
- 4:19Speaker 2: Misa Hilton because yes, there there is more bubbles and
- 4:23Speaker 2: more holes that we needed.
- 4:24Speaker 3: To be filled in.
- 4:26Speaker 2: Uh, and what we reported it kind of gave information
- 4:29Speaker 2: around everything that's happening. But for a lot of you
- 4:31Speaker 2: guys who know the relationship between Mary J. Blige and
- 4:34Speaker 2: and Diddy and you know Missa Hilton, you know, even
- 4:37Speaker 2: if not even if you don't know specifically Mesa Hilton,
- 4:39Speaker 2: everything she's done, you know the relationship between what I
- 4:42Speaker 2: would call her family when it comes to Diddy and
- 4:44Speaker 2: her son and Mary J.
- 4:45Speaker 3: Blise, it is a.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Decade long over the decade decades long relationship. So I
- 4:50Speaker 2: spoke to me Sa Hillton, and I'm like, Yo, there
- 4:53Speaker 2: got to be more to this. There's no way that
- 4:54Speaker 2: that is your sister, that is your blood for as
- 4:56Speaker 2: long as she's been and you guys are beefing about
- 4:58Speaker 2: a music artist and it's not even about who the
- 5:00Speaker 2: artists is, it's just in general like I thought that
- 5:02Speaker 2: it was. It was really than rat for y'all, No
- 5:04Speaker 2: pun intended. Here's what Mysa told me. So Mysa said
- 5:09Speaker 2: she wanted to make it clear. She said we did
- 5:11Speaker 2: not fall out over Vado over the Vadal album, and
- 5:15Speaker 2: the lawsuit was not brought because we were no longer friends.
- 5:17Speaker 3: Mary J.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Blige needs to release Vodo, communicate around that and needs
- 5:23Speaker 2: to stop holding him hostage.
- 5:25Speaker 3: Once Vado did not go with Mary J.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Blige and her boyfriend's management, Mesa claims and alleges that
- 5:32Speaker 2: the boyfriend Mary J. Blige's boyfriend, her crent boyfriend as
- 5:35Speaker 2: management shut down.
- 5:37Speaker 3: You know, just a bunch of different things.
- 5:38Speaker 2: She said, that's when the shutdown began, and at that
- 5:40Speaker 2: time is when now Lisa is saying that she is
- 5:44Speaker 2: looking at Mary J. Blige like, you know, you're in
- 5:46Speaker 2: breach of the existing contract that they had. Now, a
- 5:50Speaker 2: lot of people have had questions about Vodo and musically,
- 5:52Speaker 2: you know what he's done. People are like, yo, bro,
- 5:54Speaker 2: I didn't even know Vodo was still making music. I didn't
- 5:56Speaker 2: know he was still making money off music. Like basically,
- 5:57Speaker 2: you know, they not playing with him a little bit.
- 6:00Speaker 2: So she also wanted to make it clear that, you know,
- 6:02Speaker 2: when we talk about that five million dollar number and
- 6:04Speaker 2: why the lawsuit is that and how it got to
- 6:06Speaker 2: that amount, there's a bunch of different things that go
- 6:10Speaker 2: into it. But she says, when you talk about circulating numbers,
- 6:14Speaker 2: Vodo was writing for two of Mary J. Blige's albums
- 6:17Speaker 2: as well as two tours. He was promised that he
- 6:19Speaker 2: would go on to tours at Mary J. Blige, she
- 6:21Speaker 2: removed all of this. The number the five million dollars
- 6:24Speaker 2: is not from the anticipated album sells that he was
- 6:26Speaker 2: not able to put out. Mesa says her and Vodo
- 6:30Speaker 2: were supporting her and building her label and her as
- 6:33Speaker 2: Mary J.
- 6:33Speaker 3: Blige.
- 6:34Speaker 2: Vodo is also a super creative writer, vocal producer, ghostwriter
- 6:38Speaker 2: and ideas guy, and there was a lot in motion there.
- 6:41Speaker 2: The Still Believe In Love song, which was one of
- 6:42Speaker 2: Mary J. Blige's most recent love songs, went ten weeks
- 6:47Speaker 2: number one on the chart. Vodo is on that song,
- 6:51Speaker 2: to be clear, So Misa said, you know, let's not
- 6:53Speaker 2: be so quick to discount Vodo. He brought that good
- 6:56Speaker 2: Harlem energy and heeded the queen up. The queen is
- 6:59Speaker 2: Mary J. Blige, and she, you know, this is the
- 7:03Speaker 2: question that me says, asking the world what other rapper
- 7:06Speaker 2: did Mary J Oblige go number one with for that
- 7:08Speaker 2: long in the last fifteen years. Lisa says, I wait,
- 7:12Speaker 2: this is when Mary J. Blige wanted to sign Vittal.
- 7:14Speaker 2: So she says, basically, after you know he's writing, they
- 7:18Speaker 2: got that song together, to Still Believe in Love song,
- 7:21Speaker 2: it goes number one on the chart for ten weeks.
- 7:24Speaker 3: Mary J.
- 7:25Speaker 2: Blige, Misa alleges, comes to them and it's like, hey,
- 7:27Speaker 2: I want to sign Votto and she was very aggressive
- 7:31Speaker 2: about it too, allegedly according to Misa. So Misa says,
- 7:35Speaker 2: no matter what anyone thinks of Vito or what level
- 7:37Speaker 2: he is or is not on, a breach of an
- 7:39Speaker 2: existing contract is a breach period.
- 7:41Speaker 3: Friends are not, but what friend would.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Breach and violate this way and then refuse to communicate
- 7:45Speaker 2: the release? These things are tough to understand with the
- 7:48Speaker 2: thirty plus year relationship at the HELM because it's hard
- 7:51Speaker 2: to really decipher what's happening with so many opinions chiming
- 7:54Speaker 2: in in angles. However, I understand that it makes for
- 7:57Speaker 2: a good conversation. Breach of contract and no communication for
- 8:00Speaker 2: a year, So now we have a timeline. Misa hill
- 8:03Speaker 2: and says that it was a year that her and
- 8:05Speaker 2: Mary J. Blige had not been contact, not been communicating,
- 8:08Speaker 2: and that you know, she's alleging that this breaching of
- 8:10Speaker 2: the contract was happening for about a year. Lead you
- 8:13Speaker 2: no choice? Why won't marry J Blige? And this is
- 8:15Speaker 2: Misa asking this, why won't Mary J.
- 8:17Speaker 3: Blige.
- 8:17Speaker 2: Just resolve this and put this behind all of us.
- 8:20Speaker 2: That's the bigger question. Judgment is too easy in this situation.
- 8:24Speaker 2: It is shocking. However, this is screaming so many things
- 8:27Speaker 2: on so many different levels.
- 8:29Speaker 3: Just take a deeper look. God bless and thank you again.
- 8:33Speaker 1: Whoo that sounds like a lot o going to attorney
- 8:36Speaker 1: on the same page with this story. That's the attorney
- 8:40Speaker 1: before you said it to you.
- 8:41Speaker 3: I think they're on the same page.
- 8:43Speaker 2: But I think that Mesa, in this being a legal matter,
- 8:47Speaker 2: was playing it safe by having her attorney, you know
- 8:50Speaker 2: what I mean, and not even having her, but by
- 8:52Speaker 2: her attorney choosing to speak out on Mesa's behalf. I
- 8:54Speaker 2: think you know that's the way that you because it's
- 8:56Speaker 2: still is depending laws. This is illegal matter. You want
- 8:58Speaker 2: to be safe about what you say, you know, because
- 9:00Speaker 2: things ken it will be used against you and a
- 9:02Speaker 2: quarter a long clock it. But yeah, I think they
- 9:08Speaker 2: were just being saved. But I think after I know
- 9:10Speaker 2: we did the report today via the Breakfast Club. We
- 9:12Speaker 2: had the exclusive here first on the Latest with Laurena
- 9:14Speaker 2: Rose of the podcast, and there were blogs that picked
- 9:17Speaker 2: it up. So I think once our reports started circulating
- 9:20Speaker 2: and she heard the interview in full. And that's why
- 9:22Speaker 2: I love to put things and you know, if I
- 9:24Speaker 2: don't have to say it, I'd rather put it in
- 9:26Speaker 2: your words. You tell me what you feel, let me
- 9:28Speaker 2: put it in your words, because I can't misconstrue something
- 9:31Speaker 2: that you directly are saying to me, you know what
- 9:33Speaker 2: I mean. So because of that, and because of the
- 9:36Speaker 2: words she heard her at turning to say, she wasn't
- 9:37Speaker 2: upset at us or anything. You know, she did have
- 9:39Speaker 2: certain things she wanted just and be sure. That made
- 9:41Speaker 2: me to know, yeah, but she wasn't upset. But now
- 9:44Speaker 2: she's coming out, she's like, you know what, I'm gonna
- 9:46Speaker 2: play it smart. But still, here's some context to this,
- 9:50Speaker 2: because I think the internet right now and people right
- 9:52Speaker 2: now are making this as like a cat fight over
- 9:55Speaker 2: a rapper, yeah, or on.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Personal relationship and like, oh, we're not for ad anymore,
- 10:00Speaker 1: you see exactly. But there was a lot of clarification
- 10:02Speaker 1: what you just said. So, I mean, we were thinking
- 10:04Speaker 1: one track, minded and battle only, you know, wanting the
- 10:09Speaker 1: five million for his music like that. But like you said,
- 10:12Speaker 1: you still writer at the end of the day. You know,
- 10:14Speaker 1: it sounded like it was a tour coming, they said,
- 10:16Speaker 1: So there's other aspects of his value that he brought
- 10:19Speaker 1: to that relationship that we weren't even factoring him.
- 10:22Speaker 3: I had no idea. I didn't know I did.
- 10:24Speaker 2: I was seeing him on songs of Magi Blige, but
- 10:26Speaker 2: I remember seeing it and being like, oh, I've heard
- 10:28Speaker 2: from him in a while.
- 10:29Speaker 3: But I never even looked at like look much into it.
- 10:31Speaker 2: I couldn't even tell you the song off the top,
- 10:35Speaker 2: but to know that, you know what I mean to
- 10:36Speaker 2: stayed on the trust for all the weeks and him
- 10:38Speaker 2: writing imagine writing a Marrigor e Blige record. You know
- 10:40Speaker 2: what I'm saying. That's a big that's that's that's a
- 10:43Speaker 2: check you' gett to publish a check if you did,
- 10:44Speaker 2: if you did it right. So now I understand you
- 10:47Speaker 2: know why he wants his money.
- 10:48Speaker 1: And then she clarified the possibly going behind her back
- 10:52Speaker 1: and trying to steal him and manage him with her major.
- 10:55Speaker 1: Blidge was trying to image him with her boyfriend and
- 10:58Speaker 1: and that like Riata the like just block boxing Mesa
- 11:03Speaker 1: out of everything.
- 11:03Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna tell you this right here.
- 11:05Speaker 2: If I'm married j Bligh, I know we talk about
- 11:06Speaker 2: this a little bit on the last podcast episode too.
- 11:08Speaker 2: I want my boyfriends the furthest from my businesses. They
- 11:10Speaker 2: can be keeping, you understand. I want my business on
- 11:16Speaker 2: Earth and my boyfriend on Saturday. Just because of everything
- 11:19Speaker 2: she endured in her last relationship. I don't know who
- 11:22Speaker 2: who the guy is, but I just know that that's
- 11:24Speaker 2: a new boyfriend.
- 11:24Speaker 1: She did not learn a lesson. Yeah, well there's gonna
- 11:28Speaker 1: be another Sadass. Sorry, let me know. Another Sadass album
- 11:31Speaker 1: might come from this whole situation.
- 11:33Speaker 3: I mean he's sad Mary.
- 11:34Speaker 2: He's a good music yeah, as bad as it sounds.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Speaking of lessons learned though, so do you remember Shador Saunders,
- 11:43Speaker 2: Dione Saunder's son, he eat that print call that happened.
- 11:46Speaker 3: So the kid that print called him.
- 11:48Speaker 2: The NFL just dropped some serious fines on the Atlanta
- 11:52Speaker 2: Falcons and that defensive cordator Jeff Albridge because it was
- 11:55Speaker 2: his son that orchestrated that print call. So, according to ESPN,
- 11:59Speaker 2: they broke the story. As we're preparing for the podcast,
- 12:01Speaker 2: the team has now been slapped with the two hundred
- 12:03Speaker 2: and fifty thousand dollars fine, and coach Albridge himself has
- 12:07Speaker 2: to cough up another one hundred thousand dollars for failing
- 12:10Speaker 2: to protect confidential NFL draft info. That is a three
- 12:14Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand dollars ass whipping. If you in
- 12:16Speaker 2: my mom's house, can you imagine what that that whooping
- 12:19Speaker 2: is like?
- 12:19Speaker 1: He can't just throw that on his son because he
- 12:21Speaker 1: was responsible for this confidential information. But that's crazy.
- 12:24Speaker 3: You would never think your son.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Record himself with his face and everything. He's galing laughing,
- 12:30Speaker 1: but it's a fuck up situation because she's doing was
- 12:32Speaker 1: really like that must have been a real tough moment
- 12:34Speaker 1: in his life. But he thought he was going first round.
- 12:36Speaker 1: He got pushed all the way to it was the
- 12:38Speaker 1: fifth round. And I know that was like tough for
- 12:41Speaker 1: him to hear because the way he answered the phone
- 12:43Speaker 1: ill happy because I don't know if you saw the
- 12:44Speaker 1: video of him talking. Yeah, he bought that phone specifically
- 12:47Speaker 1: for the draft or that moment and only the coaches,
- 12:50Speaker 1: so he knew if that phone rings, I'm going to
- 12:52Speaker 1: get drafted. And I don't know, if you watch the draft,
- 12:54Speaker 1: like everybody picks up the phone and they talked.
- 12:55Speaker 2: To a coach before was it a brand new I
- 12:57Speaker 2: think it was a brand deal because remember he was
- 12:58Speaker 2: like Metro PCs.
- 12:59Speaker 3: Since that, I mean, it don't matter.
- 13:01Speaker 1: I'm not sure it.
- 13:02Speaker 2: Don't matter, but yeah, specifically for that and even with that,
- 13:05Speaker 2: when I remember when him it was him and his
- 13:06Speaker 2: brother Shiloh in that video, right, yeah, mind you Shiloh
- 13:09Speaker 2: is shallow.
- 13:09Speaker 3: Is a superstar. Shiloh as funny as heck.
- 13:11Speaker 1: Personality I did not.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's not good at football.
- 13:16Speaker 1: He's cool. He signed to the Buccaneers so he didn't
- 13:19Speaker 1: get drafted though, but he's he's signed after you.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Are so shady, he said old personality wise, No, he's funny,
- 13:27Speaker 2: you know.
- 13:27Speaker 3: He really is. Like I knew that.
- 13:29Speaker 2: I knew that they were like, you know, close, and
- 13:31Speaker 2: I knew of Shiloh all Dion's kids before that. But
- 13:34Speaker 2: I don't think I really paid much attention to Shiloh's
- 13:36Speaker 2: personality before this.
- 13:38Speaker 1: Because he looked with the most like his dad. So
- 13:41Speaker 1: he likes to impersonate his dad and always his dad.
- 13:44Speaker 2: Well he did the clip with the clip with the
- 13:47Speaker 2: mom Yeah tell me what that that that because you're Caribbean,
- 13:51Speaker 2: you know you're African.
- 13:53Speaker 1: I willom from Ghana all right, right, is African. Yes,
- 14:02Speaker 1: what's your question. I don't even know how it's related
- 14:04Speaker 1: to your door. Your doing is not African.
- 14:08Speaker 2: It's like yeah, but I feel like mallenated parents, they
- 14:11Speaker 2: beat you a little different when it comes to certain things.
- 14:13Speaker 2: You can't call nine on one in their house, and
- 14:15Speaker 2: you better not cost some no money, and you better
- 14:17Speaker 2: not don't have people in their house that they don't know,
- 14:20Speaker 2: especially sitting on certain couches. Yeah, how this would have
- 14:23Speaker 2: been in your household?
- 14:24Speaker 1: If I cost my parents one hundred K, three hundred.
- 14:28Speaker 3: And fifty thousand dollars.
- 14:29Speaker 1: And my mom's work and fifty K as she got
- 14:35Speaker 1: Joe for it. Yeah, I think I was just like,
- 14:38Speaker 1: I'll just leave, you know what I mean. It just
- 14:40Speaker 1: starts where I want to go to Ghana. They'll come
- 14:42Speaker 1: find I just start over the new country. Maybe a
- 14:46Speaker 1: few years later they'll forgive me and I'll come back
- 14:48Speaker 1: later time. But that that's just that's crazy to do
- 14:51Speaker 1: to like hack. I'm not hacking, but go into your
- 14:54Speaker 1: parents stuff and still information like and then record it
- 14:57Speaker 1: and post it online like that.
- 14:59Speaker 2: That's saying that's bold that you should have make getting
- 15:02Speaker 2: beat since you was young, And that's the problem with
- 15:03Speaker 2: these gentle parents, you know what I'm saying.
- 15:05Speaker 1: It seemed like one of them entitled frat boys. I
- 15:07Speaker 1: don't know if you want know you went to the HBC.
- 15:09Speaker 3: I know, I know what I mean. I've seen them
- 15:10Speaker 3: on movies. Yeah, I've seen those.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Was like, he thought that was so funny, just too
- 15:16Speaker 1: Like I said, it should be funny when you're young,
- 15:18Speaker 1: but to fun with somebody's.
- 15:19Speaker 2: Like, how young is he? He looks like I was
- 15:21Speaker 2: about to say, he looks like he's like twenty.
- 15:22Speaker 3: Two to twenty three.
- 15:23Speaker 1: I think he was twenty one.
- 15:24Speaker 3: Sold enough to drink, you old enough to think.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Bro, you should definitely do but you about to graduate college,
- 15:29Speaker 1: like you gotta be bro. Somebody should do that. Somebody
- 15:32Speaker 1: when he's applying for jobs, somebody should break off like, Yo,
- 15:35Speaker 1: you got the job, but you're gonna have to wait
- 15:37Speaker 1: a little bit. Yo.
- 15:38Speaker 3: I also saw too that should door he did.
- 15:40Speaker 2: The second day of the draft, the numbers came in
- 15:42Speaker 2: for like people that were tuning into the draft, and
- 15:43Speaker 2: they were saying that the numbers were it was like
- 15:45Speaker 2: a big monument.
- 15:46Speaker 3: It's like number of monuments that's.
- 15:48Speaker 1: Kept going on because even we were busy this weekend,
- 15:50Speaker 1: like I was in Like I said, I was in Houston.
- 15:51Speaker 1: We were like moving around, but we kept checking our
- 15:53Speaker 1: phones looking for sure. Around the third round, you didn't
- 15:56Speaker 1: go for what we were like shot, we were out,
- 15:58Speaker 1: but we were shock, like what is going on? Like this?
- 16:01Speaker 3: Yeah? So there was their accounting.
- 16:03Speaker 2: They not counting, but they're attributing those numbers to him
- 16:05Speaker 2: and all the controversy around, which is great, you know
- 16:08Speaker 2: what I mean. Him going from college to NFL and
- 16:10Speaker 2: having all this attention Branda was about to be going
- 16:12Speaker 2: crazy and he's good, hope.
- 16:13Speaker 1: So, but like they were talking about like his contract,
- 16:15Speaker 1: because when get drafted that late, your contract can't be
- 16:17Speaker 1: over some amount. So I think he's definitely gonna be
- 16:19Speaker 1: making less than a million when he was making He
- 16:22Speaker 1: can make it up in brands though, yeah, yeah, yeah, no,
- 16:25Speaker 1: he definitely has the popularity to make it up and brands.
- 16:28Speaker 1: But it's just funny how like nowadays you can make
- 16:30Speaker 1: so much more money while you're in college.
- 16:32Speaker 3: Right than when you're actually getting tip pros.
- 16:34Speaker 1: Right. But I know, I wish him the best. I
- 16:36Speaker 1: hope he cooks. He's likely to have the starting position,
- 16:38Speaker 1: I think because they just got rid of Deshaun Watson.
- 16:41Speaker 1: So I really hope like he takes this and runs
- 16:44Speaker 1: with it. He has a Jerry Judy as a receiver.
- 16:46Speaker 3: He has to run with it, doesn't he all right, y'all?
- 16:52Speaker 3: All right, all right, all right?
- 16:53Speaker 2: So taking it outside because you're not allowed to take
- 16:55Speaker 2: y'all outside to the streets. In a tweet to be outside,
- 16:59Speaker 2: we outside the outside. I broke his story today, Elijah
- 17:06Speaker 2: Arena is speaking of sports and athletes because you were
- 17:09Speaker 2: telling me he is like a really I know him
- 17:10Speaker 2: because he's Laragovin and Gilbert Arena's son, but you were
- 17:13Speaker 2: telling me how good of an athlete he is.
- 17:15Speaker 1: In my opinion, I think he's the best basketball player's son.
- 17:19Speaker 1: He was in the McDonald's All American Game this year,
- 17:21Speaker 1: played very well. Him and his little brother are really good.
- 17:25Speaker 1: Like I'm becoming stars. I think he got he's going
- 17:27Speaker 1: to USC. He got a scholarship to play for USC
- 17:30Speaker 1: next year. So he was supposed to be like one
- 17:32Speaker 1: of them ones. Like everybody, he has the most. I
- 17:35Speaker 1: think between him and Kayne are the best like basketball
- 17:37Speaker 1: player sons in my opinion. So well, I've been watching
- 17:40Speaker 1: and looking forward to him so this dudees was real tragic.
- 17:43Speaker 2: He still has the potential to be one of the ones, honestly, because.
- 17:46Speaker 1: I meant to ask you about that, but I'll let
- 17:48Speaker 1: you finish.
- 17:48Speaker 3: The story that I broke today was that Elijah A.
- 17:51Speaker 2: Renaz was released from the hospital and he is now
- 17:53Speaker 2: resting comfortably under close watch. His journey to four recovery
- 17:57Speaker 2: is just beginning. You know, his spirits remain strong and
- 18:00Speaker 2: he is surrounded by love and support. Now, this was
- 18:01Speaker 2: a statement I received from a rep for the Arenas
- 18:04Speaker 2: and Govin family, which is you know, his mom and
- 18:06Speaker 2: his dad, and it just talks about how his family
- 18:09Speaker 2: is preparing for the road to head with faith and
- 18:10Speaker 2: determination and they're committed to nurturing Elijah back to one
- 18:13Speaker 2: hundred percent. He remains blessed, resilient, in high spirits. The
- 18:17Speaker 2: family continues to ask for privacy during this time as
- 18:20Speaker 2: they focus fully on Elijah's healing and well being. They
- 18:22Speaker 2: say they thank everyone for continued prayers and encouragement and
- 18:25Speaker 2: the outpouring of support. Now, when I tell you, guys,
- 18:27Speaker 2: when I tweeted this, there were so many people responding
- 18:31Speaker 2: and just like people really were praying for him, and
- 18:34Speaker 2: I think, you know, you just never want to see
- 18:36Speaker 2: someone you know not be okay after something tragic. But
- 18:39Speaker 2: I think also too, with people attaching his career and
- 18:42Speaker 2: the opportunity that he has because of how good he is,
- 18:45Speaker 2: people were really praying that he was going to be okay.
- 18:47Speaker 2: And there are reports earlier this week we talked about
- 18:49Speaker 2: on the Breakfast Club that you know, he was walking
- 18:51Speaker 2: he was talking the annihilation to kind of you know,
- 18:54Speaker 2: he's still getting over that, but I think he'll be
- 18:56Speaker 2: able to get back to sports.
- 18:57Speaker 1: Yeah. I meant to ask you from what you know
- 18:59Speaker 1: so far as to extent of his injuries, because mind
- 19:01Speaker 1: is saying that he was trapped in the vehicle and
- 19:03Speaker 1: the smoke was just yeah, pilling off his lungs. But
- 19:05Speaker 1: there's no broken bone.
- 19:06Speaker 2: No broken bones, no broken bones or anything like that
- 19:08Speaker 2: that I know of, and that I that I was told.
- 19:11Speaker 2: But I don't know how to smoke inhalation. Will can
- 19:14Speaker 2: mess with basketball because like.
- 19:16Speaker 1: Maybe lack of yeah, issues and stuff, I don't I.
- 19:19Speaker 2: Don't even know if there was I don't know that,
- 19:21Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Yeah, I don't know. I
- 19:24Speaker 2: think eventually that will be a conversation that they're open
- 19:27Speaker 2: to having I think right now they just happy to
- 19:29Speaker 2: have a baby back. And I think right now, because
- 19:31Speaker 2: you know, he's old enough where he can pick up
- 19:33Speaker 2: his phone to get online and so can his friends,
- 19:35Speaker 2: they might not want to put that information out there.
- 19:37Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. You don't know what he has
- 19:38Speaker 3: lined up.
- 19:38Speaker 2: I don't know that though, but that is something that
- 19:40Speaker 2: I did ask and you know, I know they can't
- 19:43Speaker 2: wait to update on that because I'm sure he can't
- 19:45Speaker 2: wait to figure that out either, Like what is it
- 19:47Speaker 2: going to be like now?
- 19:48Speaker 1: And it's like I didn't even think about it before.
- 19:50Speaker 1: I just saw him as a good basketball player, but
- 19:51Speaker 1: like how famous he could be Now I'm obviously thinking
- 19:54Speaker 1: about this from a media point of view and like
- 19:56Speaker 1: brand dealing because how his parents, like his mom is
- 19:59Speaker 1: on I'm the Real Housewives side of.
- 20:02Speaker 2: Basketballwives, it was one of those arenas, and the dad
- 20:08Speaker 2: is was an NBA superstar who has his own platform too,
- 20:11Speaker 2: So like now that people like putting together, it's gonna
- 20:14Speaker 2: be a lot of.
- 20:15Speaker 1: Eyes on him. So I'm not just saying young one
- 20:17Speaker 1: that I hope really you know, recovers and does great
- 20:21Speaker 1: and makes it to league eventually.
- 20:23Speaker 3: I think he will.
- 20:24Speaker 2: Now I want to read some of the comments that
- 20:25Speaker 2: were super nice create to relate in my Instagram comments said,
- 20:29Speaker 2: all I needed to see was back to one hundred percent.
- 20:32Speaker 2: That's a blessing that lets y'all know right there, God
- 20:35Speaker 2: is good, somebody said Walter Underscore. Lily six seven eight said,
- 20:40Speaker 2: thank you Jesus. He is recovering and on the road
- 20:42Speaker 2: to healing. I send love and prayers for him and
- 20:43Speaker 2: his family during this difficult time. Someone else said, it's
- 20:48Speaker 2: just a lot of God is good in amen.
- 20:49Speaker 1: Like all tragedy is sad, but it's something about knowing
- 20:52Speaker 1: like somebody has such a bright future and something happens
- 20:55Speaker 1: to them. It really it really messes people up. Thank God.
- 20:58Speaker 2: Well, y'all, yeah, yeah, sending him something. I'm honestly had
- 21:02Speaker 2: just happened to see how everything ended, and I know
- 21:04Speaker 2: that he still has a journey. But it's like the
- 21:06Speaker 2: look and the sound of the accident and reporting around it,
- 21:08Speaker 2: it sounded so.
- 21:09Speaker 1: You know what I mean about a certain word.
- 21:12Speaker 2: It was just like it was just like a serious
- 21:14Speaker 2: and severe in the beginning because they didn't know, I
- 21:16Speaker 2: think everything, but they just knew it.
