• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I want you guys to really experience this concert with us.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: It has to feel good. It has to feel good
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to be back home selling out the garden, Like it's
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: like the ultimate return to where you're from. And this
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: is not you know, Cardi's like first return home, first
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: concert home, those type of things. But every time has
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: to feel good, like there's no way it can't. I
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: was watching her original show, not original show, but her
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: first night at Madison Square Garden the night before last,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and the opening scene where she comes out and there's
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: smoke and it's you know, she's walking slow and she's
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: very powerful.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I was like, man, I can't.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Imagine how she feels, but at that moment, I wanted
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to feel how she felt. And not even because it's like,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you know, there's all these people screaming and like the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: celebrity of it all, but more so just like, oh
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I did this, Like my purpose, my intention, my passion,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: all of that, my ups, my downs. We've seen Cardi
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: go through a lot publicly have all led her to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: this moment. Now, let's get on into to the latest.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Speaking to Cardi B. It was announced this.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Week that Cardi B's music will now be studied at
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Howard University.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: And it's not just her music per se.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: It is the album Rollout that Cardi B did for
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: her studio album and My the Drama, which is what
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: she's on her Little Miss Drama tour touring right now,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and you know, some of her own.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Music as well too.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: But the Hip Hop Studies majors at Howard University will
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: get to dive into how she wrote out the project,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: how she you know, targeted her market of her audience.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: The marketing course that it will be featured in, it's
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: offered in partnership with Warner Music, and it'll work down
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the strategy behind Carti's and My the Drama album campaign. Now,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: that album sold over two one hundred thousand units in
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the first week alone, just based off of pre sales.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: You know, she added Wop on the project as well too,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: which people was upset about it. But it's strategy so crazy.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: It was never placed on any of her albums because
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: she hadn't dropped an album in years. So all of
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: this strategy will be a part of the twenty twenty
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: six fall semester for the students of that course. Now,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the Warner Music University page and Howard University's University of
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Fine Arts, which is the Chabock Boseman College of Fine
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Arts program, posted this to their Instagram and they said
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the Cardi b and I The Drama the Art, Production,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Marketing and Cultural Impact is here at the Howard University
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and they opened up registration for the course now the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: course is an elective course.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: And for those of you guys, for anybody.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: That didn't go to college, an elective course is basically
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: something that you can take on not the side, because
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: it still counts toward all of your credits that you
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: need to graduate. But there are like main courses you
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: have to take, so your math, your English, is your
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: history courses, and then there are certain main courses you
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: have to take with your major. So like, for instance,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I was a marketing major business administration major at Delaware
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: State University, and my main courses that really to my major.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I had a marketing class, I had a business development
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and strategy class, but elective would have been something that
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I chose to take. So sometimes either the courses too
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: that you can have more fun with that still counts
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: towards your graduation.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: But I think that this is dope.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I love when I see colleges do this because one
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: of the things that I always felt like was missing
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: during the time when I was at Delaware State, and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I know it's gotten a lot better now.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I felt like being a marketing major.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I was there from twenty ten to twenty fourteen, and
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I felt like being a marketing major at Delaware State
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: University then, which is an HBCU, I just felt like
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: everything I was learning in real life as I was
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: going out and doing all these creative and you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: business based internships, when I would come back to campus,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: everything was so like boxed in, Like everything was like
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the basic ABC's one two threes of business and marketing
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and strategy and development.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, do y'all not.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: See us creative kids over here that also want to
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: run businesses, that also want to be able to come
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: into a brand or a business, figure out.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: What they need and provide that.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Like I always felt like that, and to be honest
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: with y'all, and this is nothing I've never said before.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I loved my HBCU, but I feel like my teachers
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: kind of gave me a hard time because they would
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: give us assignments like, oh, go create a business and
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: talk about how you're going to sell it, and then
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the person that you're going to sell it to when
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: they acquire it, what is the basically like the franchise
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: program that you're going to leave behind for them to follow?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: And I remember I made a magazine, and I made
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the magazine both digital and print because I felt like
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: for where I knew things were going because Instagram was
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: like the go to for everything. But this was before
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: shave Room on Instagram, Ballerler on Instagram. I was like,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: anybody that picks up this business, you're going to have
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to understand where digital is going and that need to
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: be a part of a franchise. I remember my teacher
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: telling me it was a great idea. I scored well
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: on the project, but he was like, you didn't follow
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: instructions because we can't look at this business because this
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: isn't a real thing. These business type of businesses aren't tangible.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: This market is dying, So why create ah? I remember
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: this like yesterday, why it was my senior year. Why
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: create a business in a dying market? Why focus on
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: careers in a dying market? Lean more where business is growing,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: not dying. Imagine telling a senior in college that who
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: was looking to go into the world to move to
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: LA and work in entertainment. So I love seeing these
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: type of courses because I feel like it encourages, you know,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: kids to understand that there are some ABC one two
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: three practices to all of this creative thing, all of
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the creative things that they're seeing people do like becoming
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: a music artist or you know, even just exposes you
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: to new jobs. Like Okay, So if I'm a student
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: at Howard University and I'm looking at Carti's album Rollout
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: as you know, a course in my class, that means
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I have to talk about everybody that helped her put
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: this Rollout together and actually execute it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: So it's not just about the rap artists, it's not
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: just about the music.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: It's about the team in the execs, cution, in the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: business and the actual structure and foundation of it, which
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I think really doesn't get talked about enough, especially two
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: people who have these like big hoop dreams.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: So this is one of my favorite things to see.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: So that course will begin in the fall of twenty
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: twenty six and was announced you know, via the instagrams
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: that we talked about, and it'll be offered Tuesdays and
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Thursdays on the campus.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Now I'm not sure if it's only offered to.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Like full time students at at Howard University or not,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: but maybe we can kind of like see, maybe I
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: can reach out and figure it out because this was
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: so viral and Cardi is the type to reach out
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: to the school and try and figure out how she
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: can support it. I feel like, I know this course
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: filled up. There's no way that there's more space that
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: after the announcement, Like there's no way because it went
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: so viral. So yeah, now shifting gears a big you know,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: in the same vein of music artists though, and young
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: music artists who are figuring things out. Christian Combs, who
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: is the son of Diddy Sean Ditty Combs, there was
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: an attempted home break into his home in Porter Ranch.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Porter Ranch is a part of California that is like
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: out the way. So you have La Los Angeles that
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: people will talk about in Hollywood that people talk about.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Porter Ranches probably about an hour from those places, but
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: that is where a lot of the celebrities live and
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: buy homes, like a lot of the celebrities, both young
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and old, because there's a bit of privacy. You also
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: have Calabasas as well too, which I know you guys
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: have heard like the Kanye's and the Drakes rap about
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: kind of similar very out the way private. Porter Ranch
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: is not as exclusive depending on where you are as Calabasas,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: but say gist, but earlier yesterday morning, there were police
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: that responded to Christian's home in Porter Ranch, and there
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: was a phone call that was made to LAPD that
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Christian Combs and his girlfriend, Raven Tracy, who owns the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Active War brand body by Raven, they got a phone
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: call saying that there was a burglary, a burglary hot prowl.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Now the burglar burglary hot prow essentially just means that
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the suspect is actively trying to break into the home
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: while the homeowners are inside. Now, this went down twelve
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: forty five am. So imagine your home, getting your bed,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: you're chilling, and then you're hearing someone or your cameras
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: or your alarms alert you that someone is trying to
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: break in your home. Now, officers wrote down the report
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: of the attempt at burglary at the scene, but there's
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: video circulating of tons of cops that swarmed to the
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: scene once this call came in, and what they found
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: was that there was an attempt to enter the There
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: was an attempt to enter the home through the rear door,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: but the suspects or suspects did not gain entry. Now,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: there was another person who was monitoring the surveillance video
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: at the time that also separately called LAPD records show
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: that Raven Tracy, who owns Bodybar Raven Christian Come's girlfriend,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: owns this home and she had posted on Instagram. And
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: this is the scary thing about just you know, what
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: you can put and celebrate on Instagram. Once you have
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the followers and the platform, you don't even have to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: be a celebrity, to be honest with you, you could
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: just be an influencer or influential enough where you have
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: people that follow you enough to want to, like, I
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: don't know, just be envious or think you got something
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: that they want. She had posted this home. I remember
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: she posted it because it was in the midst of
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: all of the like Diddy conversation craziness, and there been,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: you know, the allegations. There were some allegations made against
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Christian as well on the civil side. Nothing that he's
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: been found guilty of though, But she had posted it then,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: and she's been sticking by their family this whole trial,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: and Christian as well too.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's her boyfriend.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: But you know, sometimes you know, she has a business
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: that she owns, she has a brand of her own,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: and sometimes people separate theirself in the midst of that,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: but she did not. When I was in court, I
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: would see her in court, beautiful girl.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I would see her in court were Christian.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I remember one time I went and grabbed food after
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I left court, just on like a lunch break.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: It was during the I believe that was when it
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: was the bond.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: We were waiting to find out if Diddy was going
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: to receive a bond, and we waited for hours, and
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I went to a local restaurant and saw them at
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the restaurant as well too, So you know, she held
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the family down. But she had posted on Instagram that
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: she said, we just bought our first home and just
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: posted a photo of the house right, no address, know
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: anything listed in this post that she put up. But
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: still and I don't know if you know because that
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: post was so long ago, so I'm not trying to
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: connect the two there, but I do remember that happening.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: And I don't even know if the people who attempted
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: to break in knew whose home they were attempting to
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: break in. Again, Porter Ranch, especially in certain areas, you know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the people that live out there have a certain type
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: of like, you know, living style, luxury money, all of
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: those things. So I don't know if anything is connected
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: from one thing to the other, because there was there's
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: a big gap of time in between. But that's just
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: scary though that and I always think about that. Like,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: you know, I like to share a lot, I like
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: to be very vulnerable. I love to talk about my
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: family and all of that. But between this and you know,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Savannah Guthrie coming out and talking about you know, everything
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: with her mom and feeling like it was her fault,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I think so much more now about posting my family
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and you know, and sometimes you're in a moment and
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: you're happy and you're excited and you talk about these
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: moments and it just doesn't connect about you know, what
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: could come after. But again, I don't know if any
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: of this is connected. I'm making the connection because I
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: only remember they even lived together because of her Instagram post.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so police responded that I know of as
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: of now, no one has been taken into custody, but
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: police are investigating. So yeah, And I was back in
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: August of twenty twenty four that she posted that post
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: about you know, them moving into their first house house together.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: So that's been some years now, so not I don't
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: even I doubt that that even connects there, But we'll
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: find out, we'll reach out, we'll try and you know,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: track this and follow this and get more information on
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: what led to this. But happy that they're safe though,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Like I can't imagine being home and somebody being trying
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: to somebody trying to get in my home.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: We also too, don't know exactly who was home.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: We know that someone that occupies the house was in
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the home because of the way that the call came in,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: but we don't know which resident or residents were inside.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: So there'll be some updates there. Well, guys, that has
