  Speaker 2: And this weekend for me, I am looking forward to
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: honestly not really having too much real things to do.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: It's been probably like the last, I would say last
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: two weekends have been pretty chill for me.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: And I say having nothing to do, but.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: What I begin to do is I take those weekends
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: where I don't have to really be too much of
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: anywhere or get up and rip and run as much
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: as I have to do and work on my personal
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: my personal business. Behind the scenes of all of this stuff,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: there is a business foundation that I talk to you
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: guys a lot about, you know, how I'm.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Moving, shaking, maneuvering, figuring things out.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: So I use these weekends where things are a bit
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: slow or I'm just a little bit more local. Like I,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: you know, I have pro con that is happening in
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: New York this weekend. It's in New York at the
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Edelman on Friday, October 2nd from 5 to 8 p.m.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: And then I am in Philadelphia on Saturday. Look, I'm
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: talking about I ain't doing nothing in here. I go
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: telling you all the things I'm doing. I always do that.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: And then I am in Philadelphia on Saturday. Me and
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Pekin Cole from Slutty Vegan and recently from Real Housewives
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: of Atlanta will be speaking at the Get It Out
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: the Mud five-year anniversary networking conference. Now, this conference is
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: in line with an organization or a company called Done
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: and Done, which is an executive assistant company.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: So they.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: give you assistants who help you organize all your business
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and your life and all your administrative things that go
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: along with, you know, making sure that you can show
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: up the best way that you know how. I've been
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: working with their company for some years. I actually met
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: the owner of the company.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Her name is Ajay.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Many, many years ago, she booked me to come and
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: speak at one of their first anniversary events.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: And I met her and we began working together.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: And that has been such an experience, like really learning
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: how to delegate and trust team has been an experience.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I remember after meeting her and officially starting to work
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: with her, she used to always say to me, like,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: you got to trust me.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Like, you don't let me know nothing. You don't let
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: me in on anything. I didn't want her to.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: It was just like, you know, people are in your
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: bank records and they know, you know, she's making medical
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: appointments for me and my mom and my grandmother and
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: knowing addresses and just all the stuff.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: But as I've grown in business, I.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Having an executive assistant, an admin.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Just having team and people who really believe in you,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: and it doesn't have to be big team, it's so important.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: But one of the things that I'm glad that I
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: was always honest with myself about, the fact, one of
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the facts that I'm glad that I was always honest
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: with myself about is the fact that in order to
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: have team to delegate to and like a manager, you
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: need people, you need stuff. Like you need something to
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: manage to have a manager. You need administrative things to
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: have an admin person. A lot of times when I
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: talk to people who are trying to come up and
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: trying to figure it out, or even if they are like,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you know, at a certain point in their life where
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: things are moving for them, they always talk to me
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: about different, you know, parts of their business that they
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: want to hire people for. Normally, a lot of people
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: always hit me up and talk to me about when
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: should they hire a publicist. And I'm like, yo, as
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: a person who used to work in PR, I did
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: fashion PR, as a person who is in the media
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: and creating conversation, and I work alongside a lot of
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: people's publicists and managers and all the things, I tell
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: people all the time, even when people know who you
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: are and they may be checking for you a little bit,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: a publicist isn't somebody you just keep at bay and
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: be just paying all this money to. And that goes
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: across the board with any type of team member, whether
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: it's an executive assistant, it's a manager, it's an agent.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: a stylist, whatever it is, if you don't have consistent
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: work for them and that work isn't generating the income
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: for you to be able to pay them, it is
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: not worth the money to just be putting out all
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: this money.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Yes, it does take money to make money. You do
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: have to invest in yourself.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I literally am always doing so much investing in myself
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: whether it's sitting down and taking a second to like
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: work on my own personal to-do list that has nothing
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: to do with breaking news and other people's business or
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: if it's knowing when it's time to add people to
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the team move people around on the team or just
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: things like that but you need things to do like
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: they need to be having things to do or you're
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: just wasting money and you don't want to put yourself
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: in a deficit you don't want to be in a
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: negative trying to come up because When it's your time,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: it's your time. No amount of money investment will just
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: make things work. Everything is about timing and alignment. And
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: when the timing and alignment align, then you have the
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: team and you build the team around all of that to,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: you know, keep elevating things. So I'll be out in
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the community locally this weekend talking a bit about business
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: and building business and working on my own business. So, yeah,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: that's where I'm at with it. Behind the scenes of
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: the grind. All right, y'all, let's get on into the latest.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: A lot of craziness going down this morning.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Breaking news.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Actually, I mean, it was breaking while I was on
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: air with The Breakfast Club early this a.m., but also
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: literally still breaking actively at this point. We are still
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: getting minute by minute, hour by hour updates. Rick Ross, rapper, entrepreneur,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: you know, hip hop force. Rick Ross has been arrested. Now,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: this after his ex-girlfriend, a woman named Jasmine, who was
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: the last known girlfriend of Rick Ross's.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: They were very public.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: We've seen them out and about together all the time,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: all across social media. All of this comes after she
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: made claims that he allegedly woke her up in a
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: jealous rage over a picture that she was tagged in
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: on social media. She then alleges that Rick Ross slapped her.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: choked her and slammed her into a wall. Now, earlier
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: this a.m., when the story broke, I saw a CBS
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: News article, and, you know, there were a bunch of
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: jail records circulating online with Rick Ross's mugshot and the
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: charges that were listed. There was no background context, but
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: now we have some. So back in August, August 28th,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: a little bit over a month ago, this woman is
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: claiming that she was asleep in Rick Ross's home, or
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: a home that they shared, that Rick Ross allegedly woke
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: her up in a jealous rage over a photo that
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: she was tagged in on social media. She then goes
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: on to say that things turned physical quickly. Now, the
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: reporting is saying that this woman told police that Rick
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Ross questioned her about lying to him and then slapped
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: her in her face. And she goes on to say
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: that every single time he accused her of being involved
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: with another person because she was lying and she denied it,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: he hit her again. the reports continue that the woman
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: is claiming that Rick Ross struck her in the chest
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: several times, choked her to the point where she could
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: not breathe, grabbed her by her.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Ponytail and slammed her against a wall.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: From what she goes by on social media, uh, Jasmine Kendrick,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: who is a model, um, an influencer online. And again,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: she was in a very, very public relationship with Rick Ross.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I feel like they started dating. Like it was pretty recent. Um, Yeah,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: they begin dating in 2025. So it's been several months. Yeah,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: it's been several months. But prior to her, Rick Ross
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: was seen with....
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: He's had a pick of the litter, okay? And he
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: has a type.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: He's always pretty much seen, recently anyway, like his last
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: couple relationships, they are, you know, young models, black women,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: but still young models who, you know, are building career, building,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: you know, different things for themselves. And she's alleging that
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: in this situation, it wasn't as perfect as it seemed online.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: It never is, though, but this is a bit extreme
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: if he is guilty of the things that she is alleging. Now,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I will say last week, Jasmine got on Instagram and
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: accused him of putting his hands on her.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: She posted a photo of her lip that was swollen.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: And she says in the caption last week, I don't
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: know a lot of things, but I do know that
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: a man that puts his hands on me is a
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: man that never loved me and never will. Now, according
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: to sources who are speaking to outlets now, They say
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: that the woman, presumably Jasmine, gave police photos of her
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: injuries and Rick Ross voluntarily surrendered himself to police but
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: did not talk to cops about her allegations. Now, according
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: to court records, Rick Ross has, oh, he's already seen
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: a judge.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: He's seen a judge. He's pleaded not guilty to both charges.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: And you see how fast that updated for me in
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: reporting because in the beginning of this, literally, I only
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: knew what I knew, what was being reported, what was breaking,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: but things are moving and escalating quickly. And because it's,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: You know, a celebrity with the name as big as Ross.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Mr. Roberts is a celebrity. So I don't know. So
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: what does that mean? I don't know to whatever degree
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: your honor can, but I've asked that his release be expedited.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: He's in a red jumpsuit. And for purposes of his safety,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know what your honor can do.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Hi, Mr.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Roberts.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I have no idea who you are, except there's somebody
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: here in the court who's going to be treated fairly,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: just like everybody else here.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: People are literally, by the minute, trying to get their
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: angles in. And when I say people, I mean reporters.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: So we're getting.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: more information and more information as it builds.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I did reach out to Jasmine Kendrick's team for a
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: statement and I was told that she is not going
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: to be making any further statements other than what she
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: had already posted online.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: But if anything changes, they would let me know.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: So if that does change, I'll bring you right back
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: on here to you guys in the latest his bond
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: coupled because there were two charges that he was facing
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: was around $ 6, 000 he was facing a $ 5, 000 bond on
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: the battery by strangulation charge and a $ 1, 000 bond on
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: the battery charge and Both of these charges, in the
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: beginning when this news first broke, it was made very
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: clear that these charges were related to domestic violence. Now,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: I did receive a statement from Rick Ross's attorney, which
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I know has probably circulated all over reports this morning because, again,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: of how quick everything was moving. And his attorney, William
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Roberts II, shout out to our iHeartMedia editorial team. We
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: kind of tag team on this and on some exclusive
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: stories sometimes. Shout out to Tony Centeno on our Power1051. com
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: editorial team who was able to grab this statement for
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: us from Rick Ross's attorney, Steve Sato. I want to update, actually,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: that statement is from Defense Counsel Steve Sato and Bradley
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Hornstein on behalf of Rick Ross. So it's two attorneys,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: not just one. Williams Roberts II, a.k.a. Rick Ross, professionally
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: known as Rick Ross, is being wrongfully accused by ex-girlfriend
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: whose true motivations are unclear. The ex did not even
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: file a police report until a month after the claimed
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: incident allegedly took place.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Mr.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Roberts is innocent and has pled not guilty to the charges.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: He respectfully requests that his friends, fans, and the general
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: public do not prejudge this situation and allow the judicial
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: process to run its course. Now, I will say when
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: the news first broke, and they don't point to Jasmine
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: at all, I am filling in context clues here, and
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: If my suspicion is correct and if Jasmine is the
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: woman who has went and spoke to police where these
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: charges came from about a week ago when all of
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: this was released, I reached out to her team and
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: we didn't talk then because of what I was trying
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: to do was I was trying to poke around at
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: some of the Miami police departments to see if there
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: was any police report whatsoever.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: And in reaching out to a few of them, I
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: couldn't find anything. So I kind of just left it alone.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: For me, I mean, I understand on face value when
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: a woman claims domestic violence and there's bruises and there's photos,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: those reports will pick up.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: But I always try to.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Wait until there's a police report filed or something officially
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: filed because normally there's more context there as well. So
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: we can kind of, you know, fill in the blanks
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: of what happened or what are the allegations and then
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: be able to predict what's going to come from it.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: But I was not able to do that then.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: So this morning when I saw that this was breaking,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: I was like, okay, she must have went and filed
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: a police report on the criminal side of things. Now,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know if there's anything civil that will be
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: filed because, you know, sometimes you will see that as
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: well too. But, you know, nothing that I can speak
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: to from that end as of right now. And again,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: she has not come out and responded at all to anything.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: rick rawls having to turn himself in nor has he
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: directly stated her name in a statement it just says
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: an ex-girlfriend whose whose intent is unclear at the current
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: time so we'll keep you guys updated we will definitely
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: keep you guys up to update it we're gonna have
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: to because this is developing literally as the moments are
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: moving This has been another episode of The Latest with
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Lauren LaRosa. I tell you guys, every single episode, y'all
