0:13
Speaker 1: Lauren de Rosa. This is your DTI dig on all
0:16
Speaker 1: things pop culture, entertainment, news, and all of the conversations
0:20
Speaker 1: that shake the room.
0:22
Speaker 2: Wow, guys, we are back.
0:24
Speaker 1: In the studio or some applause added right here, Man,
0:29
Speaker 1: I haven't been in the studio, and like.
0:33
Speaker 2: It's been some weeks. The break was, I don't know,
0:36
Speaker 2: it was. It was good. It was really really good.
0:38
Speaker 1: I don't really normally like take breaks per se just
0:42
Speaker 1: because I think, I don't know, I feel like i'd
0:46
Speaker 1: say out of mind. I also feel like if in
0:49
Speaker 1: this world of like pop culture and things as they happen,
0:53
Speaker 1: that things happen so fast that if you're too unattached
0:56
Speaker 1: and too out of office, you'll miss so much. So
1:00
Speaker 1: I mean I did take a break technically, so like
1:02
Speaker 1: if you guys follow me anywhere on social you know,
1:04
Speaker 1: like I'm posting stories, I'm doing a ton.
1:07
Speaker 2: I took a step back and didn't do as much.
1:09
Speaker 2: I still did something.
1:10
Speaker 1: Still posted you know, some stories here and there, you know,
1:14
Speaker 1: just things that I saw or you know, exclusives and
1:17
Speaker 1: some breakdowns.
1:18
Speaker 2: I know we did the Break the Break.
1:21
Speaker 1: I know we did the Drake Aiden Raws and Steak
1:25
Speaker 1: civil lawsuits, and if you want to go and read
1:30
Speaker 1: all about it, I want to even get into that, because
1:31
Speaker 1: now we're like weeks out from that. It's you know,
1:33
Speaker 1: it's pretty late at this point, but we were you
1:36
Speaker 1: know a few of the first outlets. I was like,
1:38
Speaker 1: probably the second outlet, maybe the third, I would say, though,
1:43
Speaker 1: one of the first major outlets that I saw covering
1:45
Speaker 1: that lawsuit, which is it's a class action lawsuit. But
1:50
Speaker 1: in that class action lawsuit, there are two and we
1:53
Speaker 1: talked about this on the podcast, so you know, we
1:55
Speaker 1: won't go back in death, but that lawsuit, we talked
1:58
Speaker 1: about it over the break. That's when stories that we broke.
2:01
Speaker 1: I also received. Within the last like twenty four hours,
2:04
Speaker 1: I received a statement from Mesa Hilton, who is the
2:07
Speaker 1: former best friend for over thirty plus years of Mary J.
2:10
Speaker 1: Blige and also shares a child with Sean Diddy Combs.
2:14
Speaker 1: Her son, Justin Combs, is Diddy's son. She had been
2:18
Speaker 1: suing Mary J. Blige for some allegations of like bad
2:21
Speaker 1: business practices for five million dollars. That lawsuit was recently dismissed,
2:25
Speaker 1: So we did that as well before returning here to
2:27
Speaker 1: the pod, and we'll talk about that a bit today.
2:30
Speaker 2: So you might have saw those.
2:32
Speaker 1: And I was checking in as much as I could
2:34
Speaker 1: while traveling. I was in Ghana trying to do as
2:39
Speaker 1: much as I could. I didn't want you guys to
2:41
Speaker 1: kind of stall out on me and just be hearing
2:44
Speaker 1: a lot of the same things you've already heard already.
2:46
Speaker 2: I know, every single.
2:47
Speaker 1: Day we get new downloads, we get new viewers, so
2:52
Speaker 1: new to some old to others.
2:54
Speaker 2: But I was checking in and Ghana was like, man,
2:57
Speaker 2: it was.
3:00
Speaker 1: I always want, Like I've always said, like, okay, I
3:03
Speaker 1: wanted to visit certain places, you know, Africa being one
3:08
Speaker 1: of those places. And I'm open to going to so
3:12
Speaker 1: many different places you know in Africa, but starting with Ghana,
3:17
Speaker 1: I think was like the best thing that I could
3:19
Speaker 1: have done.
3:21
Speaker 2: Just a life changing trip in general.
3:23
Speaker 1: And you know what's crazy is when I like, whenever
3:26
Speaker 1: I hear people talk about like vacations that they've had,
3:28
Speaker 1: especially ones where like they're going and they're like connecting
3:31
Speaker 1: with like their roots and like their ancestors and stuff
3:35
Speaker 1: like that, and they say like, oh, it's life changing
3:37
Speaker 1: for me.
3:38
Speaker 2: In my mind, I'm always thinking like, oh.
3:40
Speaker 1: There must have been like this super super super deep,
3:43
Speaker 1: crazy spiritual experience. And I think and I know that
3:47
Speaker 1: you do get that, you do get a sense of
3:50
Speaker 1: that the minute that you return anywhere, that you instantly
3:54
Speaker 1: just feel like you belong because that was like a
3:57
Speaker 1: crazy experience in itself. And I suggest that anybody that
3:59
Speaker 1: is a to travel to Africa, black people, you need
4:04
Speaker 1: to go, you man, Like I've been trying to get
4:08
Speaker 1: there for I think it's been like three years now,
4:10
Speaker 1: and it was a birthday gift for my boyfriend for
4:13
Speaker 1: us to.
4:13
Speaker 2: Be able to go for a holiday. And like what
4:17
Speaker 2: I thought the spiritual experience was.
4:19
Speaker 1: Whenever I heard people say like, oh, you know, going
4:22
Speaker 1: back going to Africa changed me or like whatever, it.
4:25
Speaker 2: Wasn't what I thought it was going to be. And
4:27
Speaker 2: when I say that, I just mean the spiritual.
4:31
Speaker 1: Experience itself was just being there and just being like
4:35
Speaker 1: it's so weird to say that. And when I've ever
4:39
Speaker 1: ever ever heard people say that, I've always been like
4:41
Speaker 1: what the hell, like what type of mushrooms?
4:44
Speaker 2: Like are y'all smoking?
4:45
Speaker 1: But literally landing there and just seeing black like it's
4:50
Speaker 1: just black people everywhere, and then I don't know, like
4:54
Speaker 1: when you travel out of the country, not even out
4:56
Speaker 1: of the country, there's places in the US when you
4:58
Speaker 1: travel to them as a black person saying, you know,
5:01
Speaker 1: like Okay, I'm here, but like this this wasn't built
5:06
Speaker 1: for me, Like and if it was built for me,
5:08
Speaker 1: it wasn't. It wasn't continued in that way, because I
5:12
Speaker 1: believe we built a little bit of everything, but it
5:13
Speaker 1: wasn't continued in that way.
5:15
Speaker 2: Like you feel like the outsider. There's like that whole
5:19
Speaker 2: minority majority conversation, right, like you feel like.
5:25
Speaker 1: It's just I can't even put it into words, y'all,
5:27
Speaker 1: Like it's just a different feeling landing somewhere that already
5:31
Speaker 1: feels like home, Like I never felt like I was
5:34
Speaker 1: visiting somewhere, like I felt like I'd been there already.
5:40
Speaker 1: And I kept saying that, like people that I was
5:42
Speaker 1: meeting in Ghana who were like, cause there, everyone gets
5:46
Speaker 1: so excited when you're there and you tell them like
5:48
Speaker 1: it's your first time there because they want black people
5:50
Speaker 1: to come to Africa and experience it and connect and
5:53
Speaker 1: get reconnected and you know, just all these different things.
5:58
Speaker 1: But when people would ask me like how was the
6:00
Speaker 1: trip or how's your first experience here, I would literally
6:04
Speaker 1: say like, it feels like I've already been here before,
6:07
Speaker 1: and that alone is like such a spiritual experience, because
6:12
Speaker 1: I think the only other time I've been somewhere and
6:14
Speaker 1: I felt like, oh, I'm supposed to be here and
6:16
Speaker 1: I've already been here and I'm instantly just comfortable was
6:20
Speaker 1: being on HBCU campus.
6:22
Speaker 2: Those were the only two tops.
6:23
Speaker 1: Like the whole trip, I was trying to liken it
6:26
Speaker 1: to something or like another place that I've traveled, or
6:29
Speaker 1: you know, just the feeling that I felt when I
6:31
Speaker 1: was there. I was trying to make it make sense
6:33
Speaker 1: to explain it to other people as they were asking me.
6:35
Speaker 1: My friends in the US wanted to know how it
6:37
Speaker 1: was going, what the feeling was, you know, all these things,
6:40
Speaker 1: and I was like, kind of the only other thing
6:42
Speaker 1: I could remember, the only other time in my life
6:43
Speaker 1: I could remember not being somewhere new and having to
6:49
Speaker 1: put up such a guard in a wall and make
6:51
Speaker 1: sure like I'm walking the right way. I'm pasture the
6:53
Speaker 1: right way. I'm this, I'm that, I'm presenting, I'm walking
6:55
Speaker 1: in the room the right way, I'm speaking the right way.
6:57
Speaker 2: I'm this. Like the only the time I've had to
7:00
Speaker 2: not worry about all of that.
7:02
Speaker 1: Was walking on to HBCU campus because it was I mean,
7:05
Speaker 1: it's not Africa, but it was the same thing of
7:07
Speaker 1: like you're surrounded by people who look like you, who
7:09
Speaker 1: feel like you, who identify with you. Even though these
7:11
Speaker 1: people obviously like you know, we've grown up, you know,
7:14
Speaker 1: culturally very different, but like have we.
7:18
Speaker 2: I don't know, it just it was it was open experience.
7:22
Speaker 1: I will be uploading some audio from my tour that
7:28
Speaker 1: I did of the Cape Coast Castle. I wanted to
7:32
Speaker 1: put it in this episode. I don't know how much
7:33
Speaker 1: you'll be able to put in. So we had a
7:37
Speaker 1: tour with Rabbi Cohen, and Rabbi Cohen is a man
7:42
Speaker 1: who is from He's actually from New York, but he
7:45
Speaker 1: left New York he told me like in the nineties,
7:49
Speaker 1: and when we did our tour with him of the
7:51
Speaker 1: Cape Coast Castle, which you know, there's slave castle. So
7:55
Speaker 1: there's various slave castles in Ghana on the Gold Coast
8:00
Speaker 1: of West Africa, now Ghana where black people were enslaved
8:07
Speaker 1: and these you know, black people were put it. It's
8:10
Speaker 1: literally like a penitentiary, penitentiary like they were put in bondage.
8:14
Speaker 1: They were thrown in dungeons and dark rooms and just
8:18
Speaker 1: housed as like cattle until they were put on a
8:21
Speaker 1: boat and shipped like they literally walked through the door
8:24
Speaker 1: of no overturn and just never came back. So you
8:27
Speaker 1: get to experience, you know, and see so many things.
8:32
Speaker 1: I want you to guys to hear a bit of
8:33
Speaker 1: the audio and if you like what you hear, I
8:35
Speaker 1: will be uploading a bonus episode that is strictly just
8:40
Speaker 1: my conversation with Rabbi Kohen as we were doing our
8:44
Speaker 1: tour through the Cape Coast castles in Ghana, which can
8:50
Speaker 1: also be called forts or I don't even know, because
8:55
Speaker 1: he made a good point like I don't call it
8:56
Speaker 1: a castle because the people that were here weren't treated
8:59
Speaker 1: like queens kings, you know what I'm saying. And I'm like, yeah,
9:02
Speaker 1: I feel that they didn't even think about like why
9:04
Speaker 1: do they call it a castle. So let's take a
9:06
Speaker 1: listen to Ribebi Kohena, and this is where we started
9:10
Speaker 1: our tour.
9:12
Speaker 2: To take a listen. You know, a warning, it does
9:14
Speaker 2: get pretty heavy. Take a listen.
9:18
Speaker 3: The cannons couldn't get them. So the thing was about competition.
9:21
Speaker 3: White people thought to get a piece of Africa because
9:25
Speaker 3: having a piece of Africa meant the source of their wealth.
9:28
Speaker 3: Europe had been the poorest continent that the world had
9:30
Speaker 3: ever seen before because Rome was not considered a part
9:35
Speaker 3: of Europe like that, and neither was Greece. They were Mediterranean.
9:39
Speaker 3: So the Europeans were the poorest people in the world
9:42
Speaker 3: until they came in contact with Africa, and they came
9:45
Speaker 3: down here, and every European nation wanted the piece of Africa.
9:48
Speaker 2: So you have the.
9:49
Speaker 3: English here and a meaning, you had the Dutch and
9:52
Speaker 3: the Wayland, you had the Germans, you had in this
9:57
Speaker 3: small spot here.
9:58
Speaker 2: So every European nation he needed a piece.
10:00
Speaker 3: Of Africa to get rich, just like Africans now trying
10:03
Speaker 3: to get to America. Africans will go anywhere in the
10:05
Speaker 3: world but Africa because they want money, and they don't
10:08
Speaker 3: need no more sunshine, they don't needn know more richer earth.
10:10
Speaker 3: They want money. So because of money, they would travel anywhere. Well,
10:13
Speaker 3: five hundred years ago, white people were coming from all
10:16
Speaker 3: over Europe trying to get to Africa to get money.
10:23
Speaker 3: And now the whole thing is shifted around. And because
10:25
Speaker 3: we don't know ourselves, White people, Chinese people, they come
10:28
Speaker 3: here with no money and they leave here rich, and
10:31
Speaker 3: Africans are trying to leave here to get money because
10:36
Speaker 3: they changed our whole government around, they changed our whole
10:38
Speaker 3: education around, they changed our whole church around. So our
10:41
Speaker 3: mind is not correct, how well we even see ourselves.
10:46
Speaker 3: So and Croumler was the first one to come back
10:47
Speaker 3: and try to open that up because and Crumer spent
10:49
Speaker 3: ten years with us in America. When and Crumer went
10:52
Speaker 3: to america's name was Francis. When he came back here,
10:55
Speaker 3: he was Kwami because he came and got Africanized with us.
11:00
Speaker 3: You know, he was born in Africa. So George Pat Moore,
11:02
Speaker 3: WB de Bois, all of them, he sat under all
11:04
Speaker 3: their feet, John Hendrd Klock and he came back and said, no,
11:07
Speaker 3: I'm gonna light this fire in Africa. That's why a
11:09
Speaker 3: lot of people in his hometown didn't even understand them,
11:11
Speaker 3: because he came back different talking with fire with his
11:15
Speaker 3: hands and talking excited. Didn't know wh he was possessed
11:17
Speaker 3: or what because he's been over to the US and
11:20
Speaker 3: got that fire and said, I'm coming back to Africa
11:22
Speaker 3: and free my people. But because we.
11:25
Speaker 2: Don't have our own schools, we don't even teach that here.
11:28
Speaker 2: We don't even teach.
11:28
Speaker 3: That the black star come from Marcus Garvi and Gandes's flag.
11:33
Speaker 3: The black star comes from we think as a football team.
11:36
Speaker 3: We think it's an airline and when that is the
11:39
Speaker 3: liberation star of liberating the black mind. The colors are
11:43
Speaker 3: Ethiopian colors because Ethiopia is the only African nation never colonized.
11:48
Speaker 3: So Quama Koma said, I don't need to think of
11:50
Speaker 3: no couple.
11:50
Speaker 2: We got colors already, the colors of Ethiopia. We only
11:53
Speaker 2: put the black star in it.
11:56
Speaker 3: So now they destroyed Holly Selassie, they destroyed the royal line.
11:59
Speaker 2: Of Judah and Ethiopia. They've destroyed our minds.
12:02
Speaker 3: We still don't getting taught to the next generation will
12:04
Speaker 3: know these things. In spite of the harbor condition. They
12:07
Speaker 3: could have honorably chose suicide. They could have honorably have
12:13
Speaker 3: put their life in line for danger, just not to
12:16
Speaker 3: go through another day of this horror. But there was
12:18
Speaker 3: some that chose to live and not die, and that's
12:20
Speaker 3: why we only exist because of their choice of that.
12:25
Speaker 3: And I always say it is because of that choice
12:27
Speaker 3: that we have to make a covenant amongst ourselves that
12:31
Speaker 3: our greatest contribution to our ancestors is to live our
12:34
Speaker 3: life to its full potential and never accept mediocracy or
12:38
Speaker 3: failure as an option. You can't just survive, be mediocre
12:43
Speaker 3: people and say that our ancestors suffered for that for
12:47
Speaker 3: us to act a fool, We owe it to continue
12:50
Speaker 3: to struggle until we're totally victorious because they chose to
12:53
Speaker 3: live and not die so that we can.
12:55
Speaker 1: Be Now, I will say being in Ghana and being
13:01
Speaker 1: able to experience and learn and you know, meet the
13:04
Speaker 1: people there and just really be like it was another
13:08
Speaker 1: like it was the grown up spark of a Yeah.
13:12
Speaker 1: I mentioned going to HBCU when I always tell people
13:15
Speaker 1: that going to a hbc YOU made me realize like
13:19
Speaker 1: why the world needed me and why being black in
13:21
Speaker 1: the world was like my like freaking that was my superpower, right,
13:28
Speaker 1: and going to Africa as an adult who has been
13:33
Speaker 1: navigating throughout the world and.
13:35
Speaker 2: Figuring out things for myself, and figuring out like who.
13:39
Speaker 1: I am and why I am this way, and like
13:41
Speaker 1: what imprint I want to leave in the world and
13:44
Speaker 1: who I want to show up as every single day
13:46
Speaker 1: in the world, and with the people that I love
13:47
Speaker 1: and people I don't know, strangers, like all that stuff, right,
13:50
Speaker 1: all the things that you think about I think, especially
13:52
Speaker 1: as a as a black person in America. I don't
13:56
Speaker 1: know about you know, anybody else listening that's black or
13:59
Speaker 1: watching that's black. But for me, I'm always like I
14:02
Speaker 1: feel like I stressed myself out thinking about what am
14:06
Speaker 1: I doing today that is going to make it easier
14:08
Speaker 1: for my children, for my niece, And I think that
14:13
Speaker 1: that's a common thought that any person yellow, green, white, black, has,
14:17
Speaker 1: But for me, I've always felt like the pressure was
14:20
Speaker 1: like really really immense and the stress was really really immense,
14:23
Speaker 1: because you know, my mom and my grandmother have done
14:26
Speaker 1: really well and the fact of like God forbid anything
14:31
Speaker 1: happens to them. I'm not starting at zero, right, but
14:36
Speaker 1: I'm also not starting at a lot of what the
14:39
Speaker 1: other people that I know my you know, I have
14:42
Speaker 1: friends whose parents and black people too, whose parents have
14:46
Speaker 1: done very very well for themselves, and you know, and
14:49
Speaker 1: we've always had a conversation about like, you know, reparations
14:52
Speaker 1: and what that would have looked like if black people
14:55
Speaker 1: have been able to actually acquire that in the way
14:57
Speaker 1: they should have, and how that would have trickled down
15:00
Speaker 1: to generations and that in comparison to other races in America.
15:05
Speaker 1: So for me, I'm always like really really like I
15:09
Speaker 1: think every single day, there's not a day that I
15:11
Speaker 1: don't think about is what I'm doing today, going to
15:14
Speaker 1: put my niece and my children in a position where
15:18
Speaker 1: if they are uncomfortable, if they feel like they have
15:21
Speaker 1: to belittle themselves, if you know, they are struggling, if
15:25
Speaker 1: like just anything, they don't have to get it out
15:29
Speaker 1: the mud. I like, I want, I oh my gosh,
15:33
Speaker 1: Like when I tell you guys, I just feel like,
15:35
Speaker 1: you know, we have contributed so much to this world
15:39
Speaker 1: to get it out the mud that it's tired. I'm
15:41
Speaker 1: not bringing that into twenty twenty six, and I'm not
15:43
Speaker 1: bringing that into my children's lives, nor any generation that
15:46
Speaker 1: is attached to me and my family, Like you will
15:48
Speaker 1: not have to get it out of the mud because
15:50
Speaker 1: we didn't.
15:51
Speaker 2: Start from slingy mud.
15:52
Speaker 1: We started as these queens and these kings who were
15:56
Speaker 1: figuring things out with our hands.
15:57
Speaker 2: And building like world and being in.
16:03
Speaker 1: Africa makes you think about that and put all that
16:05
Speaker 1: into perspective, and then it makes me think about, like,
16:08
Speaker 1: to be honest with y'all, Like one of the things
16:09
Speaker 1: I was thinking about while I was going through all
16:11
Speaker 1: of the tours, and not even just the educational stuff
16:14
Speaker 1: that we did there throughout that tour, but just partying
16:17
Speaker 1: in Ghana and getting to see people's homes in the
16:20
Speaker 1: massive amount of wealth that some of these people have,
16:23
Speaker 1: and oh my god, I'm like, yo, they lied to us,
16:27
Speaker 1: like I'm sure you know, like everywhere else, there is
16:31
Speaker 1: poverty there and everywhere else too. But man, we were
16:36
Speaker 1: in a New Year's Eve party with a man young
16:40
Speaker 1: about my age who was one of the wealthiest men
16:42
Speaker 1: in the country. Owns hotels like and I mean like
16:47
Speaker 1: the major hotels. Like think about a black person in
16:51
Speaker 1: America thirty three, thirty four years old owning the MGM
16:55
Speaker 1: Grand Casino on a hotel like that is how wealthy. Like
17:00
Speaker 1: former presidential candidate I'm gonna look up his name actually,
17:03
Speaker 1: hold on the Oh wait, he's forty five. He does
17:09
Speaker 1: not look forty five like I thought he was my age.
17:12
Speaker 1: This man looks so much younger in person. He looks
17:14
Speaker 1: the pictures I'm looking at online, he looks a little
17:16
Speaker 1: bit older. But we I didn't meet him. I went
17:19
Speaker 1: to a New Year's Eve party for Bozman Saint John.
17:21
Speaker 1: I told you guys about that party. We heard some
17:23
Speaker 1: audio from that party as well in one of the
17:24
Speaker 1: prior episodes when I was like, from Ghana, so please
17:27
Speaker 1: go take a listen to that.
17:29
Speaker 2: But yeah, Nana Kwame.
17:32
Speaker 1: He it's real estate owner, developer, entrepreneur and he owns
17:37
Speaker 1: a hotel in Ghana. It says here that he is
17:41
Speaker 1: forty five years old. I thought this man was like
17:42
Speaker 1: thirty four. But just being around someone who has masked
17:46
Speaker 1: that amount of wealth in Ghana and like seeing him
17:50
Speaker 1: out every single day on the street, and like, I
17:52
Speaker 1: don't know, it was just like a I would say
17:56
Speaker 1: it was eye opening, but I feel like that doesn't
17:57
Speaker 1: do it justice. It was very much like it made
18:00
Speaker 1: me think about the things that we give two shits
18:03
Speaker 1: about over here, And to be honest with y'all, I
18:06
Speaker 1: left Ganda feeling like embarrassed, like Yo, there's so much
18:10
Speaker 1: greatness that we have within us that we could be doing,
18:14
Speaker 1: and some of the things we are sitting and taking
18:16
Speaker 1: our time and doing for the love of TikTok in
18:19
Speaker 1: the stream in the chat is crazy. Like I literally
18:24
Speaker 1: that's one of the things that I thought about so
18:26
Speaker 1: much when I was there.
18:27
Speaker 2: I'm like, Yo, we are embarrassing, Like what are we
18:31
Speaker 2: doing over here?
18:32
Speaker 1: And not that you're not gonna get people, you know,
18:36
Speaker 1: trying to go viral on TikTok everywhere right, any country, whatever.
18:39
Speaker 2: The case may be.
18:40
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is is that I went there and
18:43
Speaker 1: I felt like, Yo, we are great. We are so
18:48
Speaker 1: much greater than we even I think that there is
18:49
Speaker 1: of course that sense of you know, black pride, but
18:53
Speaker 1: being in a place where.
18:54
Speaker 2: It's like your people who came before you didn't just
18:59
Speaker 2: like roll over and take anything. They fought. They fought
19:02
Speaker 2: not to be enslaved.
19:03
Speaker 1: Even those people that we talked about in the castle
19:06
Speaker 1: at the Cape Coast Castle, they fought. Their story was
19:10
Speaker 1: not that they were just there and they just like
19:12
Speaker 1: bended to the will of whatever.
19:13
Speaker 2: No, they fought.
19:16
Speaker 1: People built you know, economies from nothing, figured out gold
19:22
Speaker 1: and land and so much from nothing, and we have
19:25
Speaker 1: so many resources here, and we still find ways to
19:28
Speaker 1: get online and be like we don't have this, we
19:32
Speaker 1: don't do that, we can't do this, we can't do that.
19:33
Speaker 2: I started.
19:34
Speaker 1: I kind of started to feel like too, Like I
19:36
Speaker 1: understood why during the pandemic everybody was like, I'm gonna
19:38
Speaker 1: move back to Africa.
19:39
Speaker 2: It's self free there like it. I don't know, it's
19:42
Speaker 2: just a different feeling.
19:45
Speaker 1: When I was there. Doci and Sizza released their song
19:50
Speaker 1: is Doci song but Sissa is feature on it. It's
19:54
Speaker 1: called Girl Get Up that song. Ah, that is the
19:59
Speaker 1: song of my twenty six. I don't know how much
20:01
Speaker 1: we can put in this in this episode just because
20:03
Speaker 1: of copyright, but that song is my song of twenty
20:07
Speaker 1: twenty six.
20:08
Speaker 2: Now, granted, I'm not gonna get into all the bullshit.
20:11
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna y'all know, I don't really cussing here,
20:12
Speaker 1: but it was needed at that point in that moment.
20:14
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna get much into it.
20:16
Speaker 1: But speaking of a lot of like just bs, there's
20:21
Speaker 1: been a big conversation around Dochi for some time. To
20:24
Speaker 1: be honest, it wasn't just you know, Aiden Rass, who
20:29
Speaker 1: was trying to make it seem like, you know, Dochi
20:31
Speaker 1: didn't deserve what she had going on.
20:35
Speaker 2: But he is one of the big people.
20:37
Speaker 1: Not big people, he is one of these people with
20:39
Speaker 1: a platform that has begun to amplify that conversation. I
20:43
Speaker 1: know that I saw like him in Takashi six', nine
20:46
Speaker 1: WHO i don't even understand why we are still even
20:48
Speaker 1: talking about, him, Honestly, LIKE i think that his time
20:54
Speaker 1: for certain things has come and. Win BUT i get,
20:56
Speaker 1: it he has, platform AND i, MEAN i don't got
20:59
Speaker 1: nothing against, him but when it comes to certain, Things i'm,
21:02
Speaker 1: like why do we let certain people who we know
21:05
Speaker 1: can't even stand on their own ten toes about what
21:07
Speaker 1: they have going, on dictate how we look at and
21:10
Speaker 1: talk about other?
21:11
Speaker 2: People?
21:11
Speaker 1: Right so they put out of this song to Dochi
21:16
Speaker 1: Aiden rosch feels LIKE doci was coming for him and
21:19
Speaker 1: some things that she had released, prior but the.
21:22
Speaker 2: Song Girl Get up quiets all of that.
21:24
Speaker 1: Noise and one of the things that she says in the,
21:26
Speaker 1: song she, says this wouldn't even be a. Conversation And
21:30
Speaker 1: i'm paraphrasing BECAUSE i don't know where if it word,
21:32
Speaker 1: yet but this is my song of twenty twenty. Six,
21:35
Speaker 1: basically What dochi is saying is if the it, girl
21:38
Speaker 1: if the girl that was on top and killing this
21:40
Speaker 1: shit right now wasn't a black, Girl if the it
21:43
Speaker 1: girl wasn't a black, girl this wouldn't even be a.
21:45
Speaker 1: Conversation AND i am not targeting. HER i am not
21:52
Speaker 1: pinning women against each. Other i'm about to have a
21:54
Speaker 1: really honest conversation with y'all about what we witness With.
21:57
Speaker 1: Tyler When, tyler very, talented beautiful, girl you, know her
22:04
Speaker 1: hits came and they were moving, going and, yes she
22:08
Speaker 1: was getting industry planned conversation a.
22:09
Speaker 2: Bit you, know people were having that whole.
22:12
Speaker 1: Thing AND i do remember people trying to have the conversation, About,
22:16
Speaker 1: okay she's been able to be positioned very.
22:18
Speaker 2: Well is it she has the right team behind? Her
22:22
Speaker 2: and shot out to her.
22:22
Speaker 1: TEAM i know someone that works with her who is
22:24
Speaker 1: really good at what she, does SO i know she
22:25
Speaker 1: has a great team behind. Her but when a woman
22:28
Speaker 1: like A, tyler who is obviously lighter, skinned.
22:32
Speaker 2: Hair texture a lot.
22:33
Speaker 1: Different right when that happened and her success is going,
22:37
Speaker 1: crazy there's always this conversation about like is this? Able
22:43
Speaker 1: are we able to have this as a thing and
22:45
Speaker 1: as a, simulation as a model of fast track to,
22:49
Speaker 1: success whether you're talented or.
22:51
Speaker 2: Not i'm not saying That tyler.
22:53
Speaker 1: Or doci are not, talented of, Course i'm not saying That,
22:55
Speaker 1: docie LIKE i just told y'all that's my song of
22:57
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, Six dochi is one of the most silented
22:59
Speaker 1: people in this shit right now to, Me And i'm
23:02
Speaker 1: not Knocking tyler. Either but What i'm saying is is
23:05
Speaker 1: every time there's like this like spurt of, success people
23:09
Speaker 1: always want to. Argue, shit it happens with. Me people
23:11
Speaker 1: always want to argue whether you deserve it or, not
23:13
Speaker 1: whether it's hyped or. Not but people can't do what
23:16
Speaker 1: you do on a day to day. Basis SO i
23:17
Speaker 1: would never take anything away from either one of these.
23:19
Speaker 1: LADIES i want to make that very, clear BECAUSE i
23:21
Speaker 1: hate when people do it to. Me BUT i do
23:23
Speaker 1: want to bring in this. Conversation When tyler's success was, moving,
23:27
Speaker 1: growing doing it was, doing it was happening, fast there
23:30
Speaker 1: was a conversation about how much her fair skin played into.
23:35
Speaker 1: That they also tried to have the conversation With, flomilly
23:39
Speaker 1: and they were Comparing flomilly and the fact that you
23:42
Speaker 1: know she Had flamilli was doing, well like she had
23:45
Speaker 1: the beats, deal she had the, Songs she.
23:48
Speaker 2: Had a lot happening for.
23:49
Speaker 1: Her and then they were comparing her situation to like
23:52
Speaker 1: A Ice spice situation who was a fair skin. Woman
23:58
Speaker 1: AND i think what the conversation, is it's more about
24:00
Speaker 1: like the rise and the ability to rise and the
24:04
Speaker 1: support that you get as you're doing it from like
24:06
Speaker 1: the brand from these major, machines AND. Doci for, ME
24:11
Speaker 1: i feel LIKE doci is so fucking. Fire Oh i'm
24:15
Speaker 1: cussing too much on this, episode But i'm just so.
24:17
Speaker 1: EXCITED i be so excited by people LIKE doci BECAUSE
24:20

Speaker 1: what it deserves on major platforms and major like all this.
24:35
Speaker 1: STUFF i hate the hate that comes with. It SO
24:37
Speaker 1: i hate what we're seeing like An Aidan ross and
24:39
Speaker 1: all those people, do especially because she's a black. Woman
24:42
Speaker 1: and let's be, HONEST i don't care because he's saying

25:06
Speaker 1: it shouldn't like it just, shouldn't, RIGHT i think, Though

25:16
Speaker 1: about like race and skin tone and skin color and you,
25:21
Speaker 1: know lighter skinness and darker skin, that AND i think
25:25

Speaker 1: What i'm going to dismiss it because there are certain
29:48
Speaker 1: deadlines that haven't been. Met and the judge was really

Speaker 1: know both of these parties are very well known in pop.
29:57
Speaker 1: Culture it's going to pick. Up it's just not something

30:05
Speaker 2: Any people spend time on if you're not going to
30:08
Speaker 2: go all the way through with. It. NOW i did
30:10

Speaker 1: When MARY. J blige filed a response To Missa hilton's original,
30:29
Speaker 1: lawsuit and she said that this was just made. Up
30:32
Speaker 1: this is A MARY. J blige, Alesia this whole, thing
30:35
Speaker 1: this lawsuit was just filed to basically harass, her that
30:38
Speaker 1: it was. Frivolous she claimed a ton of things we
30:43
Speaker 1: heard From mary and that that. Answer so now that
30:46

30:50
Speaker 1: and she gave me a. Statement So Misa hilton says
30:52
Speaker 1: in response to The MARY. J blige lawsuit that she
30:55
Speaker 1: had filed being dismissed by the. Court she, says over the,
30:59
Speaker 1: years there have been people very close to me who
31:01
Speaker 1: have hurt me, deeply AND i chose not to pursue,
31:03
Speaker 1: them even WHEN i could. Have that reflection led me
31:06
Speaker 1: to ask, myself why WOULD i choose a different path
31:08
Speaker 1: for SOMEONE i once caught my. Sister through this, EXPERIENCE
31:11
Speaker 1: i learned that mixing, family friendship and business is not always,
31:14
Speaker 1: wise and that even in painful, moments there are meaningful
31:17
Speaker 1: lessons to be. Learned WHILE i don't agree with everything
31:19
Speaker 1: that was, DONE i chose. Peace this entire ordeal has
31:23
Speaker 1: taken a significant toll on my mental health and has
31:25
Speaker 1: caused me to reflect deeply on life, memories relationships and
31:28
Speaker 1: their true purpose and.
31:29
Speaker 2: MEANING i pray for healing for all of. Us case
31:34
Speaker 2: close sad thing to.
31:37
Speaker 1: SEE i think anybody who knew the relationship just as
31:41
Speaker 1: a pop culture, fan knowing the relationship Of Mesa hillton
31:44
Speaker 1: And MARY.
31:44
Speaker 2: J blige and that time period and.
31:47
Speaker 1: Like everything that they were able to you, know even
31:49
Speaker 1: you Know misa working with her as a, silast and you,
31:52
Speaker 1: know everything that they were able to cultivate during that
31:55
Speaker 1: era like, that you, know Bad boy, era just style,
32:00
Speaker 1: wise look wise.
32:03
Speaker 3: And.
32:03
Speaker 1: Everything i'm sure they've probably went through together being friends
32:05
Speaker 1: for that long and going through everything that they. Have
32:09
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a folk, tell like hearing of
32:11
