DLHS Hour 2 | What Had Happened was Friday · The D.L. Hughley Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It is the DL Hughley Show Tuesday. What had happened
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: was a question that's heated up on social media. If R.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Kelly got out of prison and had a concert in
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: your town, are you buying a ticket? We asked you
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: that question. We had a lot of calls.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: You said? I'm a big R. Kelly fan. I got
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: to say, not only would.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: I go, I'm buying front row the first five concerts.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Nobody said he raped them. It was all about the money.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Everybody got paid.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: So I think, like I said, I'll go see him
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: front row. The first five concerts. I tell you the deal,
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: he doing a good job.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: This Tim from Chattanooga, Tennessee.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't go to his show, but you got to
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: give it to him. He put out some good music
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: back then.
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: I still listen to his music. I wouldn't go to
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: his show. I wouldn't contribute any money to him.
• 0:49
  Speaker 6: If R.
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: Taylor get out of jail tomorrow... and have a concert
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: the next day, I'm buying tickets to come to my hometown.
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: I still rock with R.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Kelly.
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: I still listen to his music. I think he's a
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: genius when it comes to his music. Now, do I
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: think he's stupid when it comes to cumbersome? Yeah, I do.
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: I think he's made a lot of mistakes.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: But who hasn't?
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: I mean, I wish black folks would stop lolling white
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: folks to tell us who we should cancel. They ain't
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: canceling Eric Presley. They ain't canceling Osborne. There's a lot
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: of white artists that have been in trouble that they
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: never canceled. So I would black folks would stick and
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: stay with the people that listen. R. Kelly made a mistake.
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: We understand that. But his music will forever outlive him.
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: So I think he's a genius. I think he's a
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: great performer. And I will buy his concert ticket tomorrow.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes. If R. Kelly got out and had a show,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I'm most definitely going.
• 1:44
  Speaker 7: He's the baddest brother.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: He probably is the best male artist of our time, 80s, 90s.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I'm front row.
• 1:53
  Speaker 7: Oh yes, most definitely I would go see him. If
• 1:56
  Speaker 7: he got out, that would mean that he served his
• 1:59
  Speaker 7: time and paid his debt to society. It doesn't negate
• 2:02
  Speaker 7: what he did as a musician or a masterful songwriter
• 2:06
  Speaker 7: or an artist.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I would definitely go see R.
• 2:09
  Speaker 8: Kelly.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Pay my money to go see him. Definitely. I would.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: If I could afford it.
• 2:17
  Speaker 9: Not only would I pay money to go to a R.
• 2:20
  Speaker 9: Kelly concert if he got out of prison... I do
• 2:23
  Speaker 9: it with complete righteousness in my mind and heart.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: The profits from an R.
• 2:27
  Speaker 9: Kelly concert are going to his label victims, his deserving ex-wife,
• 2:33
  Speaker 9: and his offsprings. That's where the vast majority of the
• 2:35
  Speaker 9: profits are going to go if he's able to get
• 2:37
  Speaker 9: out and do a concert tour. He's got to pay
• 2:40
  Speaker 9: for his people, so they're going to get paid, the
• 2:43
  Speaker 9: band and everything like that.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: And R.
• 2:45
  Speaker 9: Kelly, if he gets a break like that, if he
• 2:47
  Speaker 9: gets that stroke of luck, R. Kelly's going to be
• 2:50
  Speaker 9: a much better person when he comes out. So yeah,
• 2:52
  Speaker 9: I'd go.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Man, if R. Kelly got out of jail tomorrow, I'm
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: in the first row. And I'm saying that because I
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: have daughters, man. And what I'm saying is, This country,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: like y'all said, voted for Donald Trump twice. All them
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: people that talked about R. Kelly and downed R. Kelly,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: they voted for this man. Come on, bro. That man
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: did his time. He's an icon, bro. Can't nobody hit
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: him in versus. I mean, he's the king of R & B.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: And like I said, if he got out tomorrow, I'm
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: in front row. Bless you, DL. You're doing good work
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: for our community, brother. Keep it up.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Please call 214-495-1963 to book your cabin today. Now, Wednesday,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: what did that was? Democratic Senate Majority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: He had a secret meeting with Jared Kushner. Some people
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: believe it was good to reach across the aisle for
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the good of the country. Here's what James Carville thinks
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: about the meeting.
• 3:44
  Speaker 9: In the opinion of every Democrat in the United States, progressive, moderate,
• 3:49
  Speaker 9: middle road, left, we.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Believe one thing above all. These people are a pack
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: of felons and traitors.
• 3:56
  Speaker 10: And you do not meet with them.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Do you think that Jeffrey's meth with Kushner was beneficial
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: or was it shady? We asked that question.
• 4:04
  Speaker 10: You said.
• 4:05
  Speaker 8: Hakeem does need to meet with them in private because
• 4:08
  Speaker 8: if he meets with them in public, they're just going
• 4:10
  Speaker 8: to turn it into an opportunity for publicity stunt. So
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: we need to start playing their game. If they're going
• 4:17
  Speaker 8: to play in the mud, we need to get in
• 4:18
  Speaker 8: the mud with them. And somebody named Hakeem, he needs
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: to show us how he earned that name and represent
• 4:25
  Speaker 8: for us this time.
• 4:28
  Speaker 11: At one point, I was a fan of Joaquin Jeffries,
• 4:32
  Speaker 11: but I got my doubts now. Because why would you
• 4:35
  Speaker 11: meet with someone who has no authority in the government?
• 4:41
  Speaker 11: That's just a wasted meeting. You might as well have
• 4:44
  Speaker 11: met with me. He has no authority, and you know
• 4:50
  Speaker 11: who his family is. So if you can't get anything done,
• 4:56
  Speaker 11: You know, that's my problem with the Democratic Party. They
• 5:02
  Speaker 11: just sit back. They just take, just respond. They don't
• 5:07
  Speaker 11: ever take the initiative. Okay, call out what the Republicans
• 5:11
  Speaker 11: are doing. Call out what Donald Trump is doing. Call
• 5:14
  Speaker 11: out how much money Jared Kushner has made. Call all
• 5:19
  Speaker 11: that out and let people know.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Because people need to know about this.
• 5:24
  Speaker 12: Well, I just believe that he did what he thought
• 5:27
  Speaker 12: was necessary. If and when they do, the Democrats do
• 5:33
  Speaker 12: get control of the House of Representatives again, he's going
• 5:36
  Speaker 12: to be the speaker. He's going to be heading up
• 5:38
  Speaker 12: the entire agenda for that body of government.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: So he needs to know what.
• 5:43
  Speaker 12: He's going to be up against. And I think it's
• 5:46
  Speaker 12: smart if that's the reason that he went and did
• 5:48
  Speaker 12: this meeting. I think it's a smart move.
• 5:50
  Speaker 10: If that's why.
• 5:51
  Speaker 12: But again, we really don't know what happened during the meeting.
• 5:55
  Speaker 12: And that's the problem of the whole thing is that
• 5:57
  Speaker 12: we just don't know what happened.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping that it's strategy. That's what I'm hoping for.
• 6:02
  Speaker 12: I'm hoping it's strategy because these are some wily individuals
• 6:07
  Speaker 12: that have proven that they are able to get out
• 6:10
  Speaker 12: of all of their legal obligations. So I hope he
• 6:13
  Speaker 12: has something up his sleeve to.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Deal with that.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: And of course, yesterday we asked if a young white
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: woman with braids confronts a black woman who has a
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: problem with her hairstyle. There was a young white woman
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: with braids and she confronted a black woman who had
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: a problem with her hairstyle. Take a listen.
• 6:26
  Speaker 10: Do you think it's offensive if I wear braids?
• 6:29
  Speaker 13: Yes, because you don't understand the culture or the meaning
• 6:33
  Speaker 13: behind the braids.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: White girl.
• 6:35
  Speaker 13: With braids, it just doesn't fit right in my spirit. Like,
• 6:38
  Speaker 13: you're literally trying to cosplay me?
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: How am I trying to cosplay you when Vikings have
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: been to braids?
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I'm a Viking with this hairstyle right now. And if anything,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you're cosplaying me because you're wearing a wig right now.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: Which doesn't fit right with my spirit.
• 6:50
  Speaker 13: You guys just want to be us so bad.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Do you got a problem with white people wearing traditional
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: black hairstyles? We asked you that question.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: You said... Well, let's play reverse psychology.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: We're not going to talk about black people wearing, you know,
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: wearing white, white people trying.
• 7:05
  Speaker 11: To be black as well.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Say I'm going to, play reverse psychology and say, why
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: do black people want to be white? Why don't y'all
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: wear your natural hair? Every black woman I know have
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: a weave. That's not natural. That's not their hair. You
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: can't touch their scalp. And why do they wear contacts?
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: They trying to be white. Actually, it's not white people
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: trying to be black. It's actually black people trying to
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: be white. Everybody you know wear a wig. And a
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: wig is not a natural African-American woman's hair.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: It's not at all.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: We need to be for real with ourselves. I want
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: to ask everybody that. Why are we trying to be white?
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Why are we not wearing our real hair color and
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: our natural eyes? We want contacts and we want to
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: wear wigs. That's of European race.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Everybody wants to be a n * * * *,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: but nobody wants to be a n * * * *.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: They want to copy us, but they don't want to
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: be us because they don't want to have to go
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: through what we go through being black. But I wouldn't
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: want to be anything other than black, and I'll take
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: the struggle and the strife because I'm with my people.
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: I feel that whatever they want to do is fine
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: with me. I mean, if they want to wear our style,
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: that's fine because we certainly have copied their style. We
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: want the straight hair, so we go out here and
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: buy all this hair, and then people are bleaching their skin.
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: So I feel if this is what you want to do,
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: do it. I mean, I have no problems with whatever
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: people want to do.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Now it's time to give a deserving someone the Shoe
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Booty of the Week Award.
• 8:28
  Speaker 10: And now it's time for the Shoe Booty of the
• 8:33
  Speaker 10: Week Award.
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: Bye.
• 8:37
  Speaker 10: Amir Hassan ran for election to the U.S. House to
• 8:42
  Speaker 10: represent Michigan's 8th Congressional District. He lost in the Republican
• 8:46
  Speaker 10: primary on August 4th, 2026. His career experience includes working
• 8:53
  Speaker 10: in federal law enforcement.
• 8:55
  Speaker 9: I'm an officer of the law.
• 8:57
  Speaker 10: So, why is Amir Hassan this week's recipient of the
• 9:01
  Speaker 10: Shoe Booty of the Week award? I guess I'll find
• 9:04
  Speaker 10: out soon enough. Amir gets the shoe booty because Amir
• 9:08
  Speaker 10: ran as a Republican for the U.S. House in Michigan.
• 9:12
  Speaker 10: That was his first mistake. Some things are better left unsaid.
• 9:16
  Speaker 10: In the stormy seas of political campaigning, who did he
• 9:20
  Speaker 10: choose to endorse him? Captain Jack Sparibs.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Don't be rude.
• 9:25
  Speaker 10: That ship had holes in it before it set sail.
• 9:28
  Speaker 10: Now here's why he's a first ballot shoe booty winner.
• 9:32
  Speaker 10: Amir just pulled off the rarest political feat in American history.
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: He lost an election to a guy who wasn't even running.
• 9:44
  Speaker 10: The commander in cheese endorsed him. Where we had an
• 9:47
  Speaker 10: African-American guy who was a fan of mine. He campaigned hard,
• 9:51
  Speaker 10: spent hundreds of thousands of dollars. And still got beat
• 9:58
  Speaker 10: by a guy who dropped out of the race weeks earlier,
• 10:02
  Speaker 10: endorsed someone else, and was basically just chilling at the crib.
• 10:09
  Speaker 10: Tom Smith wasn't even running. His name was still on
• 10:13
  Speaker 10: the ballot by accident. So Amir basically ran against an
• 10:17
  Speaker 10: empty chair and the empty chair won.
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: Bummer.
• 10:21
  Speaker 10: At this point, I'm pretty sure if they put none
• 10:24
  Speaker 10: of the above on the ballot, none of the above
• 10:27
  Speaker 10: would be giving victory speeches right now. Amir didn't just
• 10:32
  Speaker 10: lose to a dropout, he lost to a ghost with
• 10:35
  Speaker 10: better name recognition. And And that's why the shoe booty
• 10:42
  Speaker 10: of the week award goes to Amir Hassan. Now here's
• 10:48
  Speaker 10: a swift kick in the ass.
