  Speaker 2: learning how to delegate, but we are basically at a
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: space where like we need to expand the team. We
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: are trying to figure out a day to day kind
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: of like a like a personal executive assistant type role,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: somebody who would like go with me to events and
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: you know, just like help me organize a lot of
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the things that I'm like incurring during the day. And
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: because I am one of the things that I've like
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: told myself from the beginning of this is like I
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: want to just keep making sure I get up and
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I show up for work and I don't mean it
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: like I don't want to call out to the breakfast
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: club or skip podcasts or you know what I mean.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I mean in a sense of I want to be
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: able to like, not worry about. You know, there's a
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: lot of things that come as you build platforms. So
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: there's events happening, and now we have the merch at
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: brown girlgrinding dot com. You should go check it out,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: especially for Women's History Month, because it's empowering the best
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: women in your lives. But when all this stuff is
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: starting to come and things are starting to move, there's
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: a lot to be done. There's a lot of instruction
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: to give, There's a lot of execution that happens, and
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I want to be able to just focus on doing
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: the work, focus on my stories, focus on building myself
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: in that space of telling the stories and getting you know,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: the information, just doing all the things that I always
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: had time to focus on when all the other things
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: weren't bubbling as much because the platform wasn't as big.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Now we are over eight million listeners strong here at
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: the latest. We've learned the roads of the podcast and
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: all of the things, so you guys can imagine, you know,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: how things have grown. So that is what in real time,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: the behind the scenes of the grind is looking like
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: for me. I am trying to figure out, like this
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: is a new space for me. I've had an administrative
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: assistant for probably like three years now who's been like
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: she's a writer.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: So shout out to her.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Shout out to Site Solutions if you were in the
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Delaware Philly, Jersey area and you need virtual assistance, they're
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: not in person. And that's the only thing that now
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I'm growing to a space where I need some I
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: do need someone day to day with me in person.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: But if you need a person who can do you know,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: your back end admin operations, and I would say from
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: or like day to day businesses so like real estate
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: and you know, doctor's office, daycare, stuff like that that
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: has a lot of like paperwork and day to day
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: to dos that are very like structured. Because my world
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: is so crazy, I feel like it's structured, but it's
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: so not, like everything is forever changing depending on what's
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: happening in the news, and you know.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Just so many things.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I think that that's their strong point though, working with
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: businesses who are very structured, who have the same beating
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: temple daily, but really need help, you know, building out
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: the structure and making sure there's structure and what you've
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: set in place and who does what and you know
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: all that type of stuff is consistent to shout out
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: to her. But we're trying to figure it out. We're
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: trying to figure out what this looks like, who we
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: bring in. We do have job listings out there, and
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: it has been a tay. There's been a time only
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: because it's like we find someone and it's like, oh no,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: but this, And then we find someone and it's like,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: oh no, but this, and we find someone, I'm like, hmmm, Personally,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's the person I want to bring
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: into like my space. And it's not just about me
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: now either. It's like I'm interacting with people on a
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: daily who also you know, have various things that they
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: protect and you know things. Is just different when when
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: the platform starts to build, Like there are a lot
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: of conversations about the business behind building, but like I
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: do want to have more conversations that get more into
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: like the minutia, like the small questions that you don't
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: just like ask in an interview because you want to
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: get to the bigger stuff like, well, how do I scale?
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: How do I get loan? Try to know?
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I ask questions like what type of bank accounts do
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: you put your money in that you're gonna use to
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: pay your taxes later? How many bank accounts do you have?
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: How do you how do you divide? You know your money?
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: How are you llced or incorporated? For cause? You know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: like in today's world, I was gonna say in what
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I do, but it's not even in what I do.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I feel like in twenty twenty six, in general, you
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: can have the most Like I'm gonna call it regular
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: and it's not a job. It's just me trying to
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: classify the type of job I'm talking about. You could
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: have a regular job, right like you could be a
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: corporate banker, like I used to work at Barclay when
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I first graduated from college in the community relations department,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: and it was like it was great benefits, great pay,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: go to work, go home. Nowadays you could be doing that,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Like you could have that job and you could be
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: online talking about the fact that you have that job
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: and build an audience for yourself and that now creates
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: other income outside of that job about what you do
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: or doing it for other people in another space, like
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: the opportunities are endless nowadays, so managing business is so different.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: And I think that's one of the things that has
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: been like so new for me because I don't have
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: other people in this space that I can go to
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: that are like family. Never really understand it because it's
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: so new at this level. But look, I call charloatune
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: An Envy all the time or even just in person
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: and ask them questions about things as I'm trying to
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: figure out all of this stuff.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: But it's scary. It's like imagine having a baby.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: In the day that your baby is born, when your
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: baby literally first cry, You're like, okay, I'm gonna hear
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: my baby over to this person who's gonna have my
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: baby for twelve hours a day. I feel like I've
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: been working so hard all of my life to get
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: to certain points that I'm literally living in my answer prayers,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: and God has so much more in store for me.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: But I know I need certain things at a very
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: small level because again I'm still building. Everything is still new,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: but I just want to have things organized. I want
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: things to be seenless because I just want to focus
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: on the work. And it's scary, trusting somebody with your
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: baby like it is. It's not that. So those are
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: just some of the things that like, you know, driving
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: her to the podcast today.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I was just.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Thinking and having conversations about like scale and scaling and
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. And I saw recently that Hanifah, who
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: is a clothing designer. She's a black woman clothing designer
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: from the DMV area. Well really and then we call
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: her hanif for but her name is Anifa, but her
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: brand is Honefa And you guys may or may not
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: recognize the brand. It's it's a clothing brand, it's a
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: fashion brand. But she has been doing this for like decades.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Like she was one of the first designers I ever
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: saw have like a three D virtual like what AI
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: and all this virtual and tech stuff is. She did
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: that so long ago. She had a full fashion show
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: in the pandemic when we can go around people virtually
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: and it stopped the world. She's been doing clothes and
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: doing things for a long time. But she recently decided
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: to take a pause from her business just because there
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: was a lot of conversation and backlash online from customers
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: not receiving orders and you know, waiting months for orders
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: and just a ton of different things.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: And when I look at that, I'm like, you know,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: scaling a.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Business is so much more than like how do I
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: find funding? That is such such a big part of it.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: And I'm not gonna you know, I'm not saying that
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: to say you don't need the money to scale, because
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: you do. Even in hiring people, you need money to
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: be able to pay them, right. But what I'm saying
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: is that knowing what to do with it right because
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Honeyfa has a following Honeyfa as customers, so the demand
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: is there even though she might not have her And
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I'm not ever gonna say, Mike, she's a black woman designer.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I know she don't have everything she needs when it
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: comes to financial backing. But she was successful to a
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: point where things were moving and she still had to
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: take a pause to figure out a lot of things,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: is my point. And I saw that this week and
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: just you know, the the media covering it and people
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: have a conversations about it, and I'm like, dang, it
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: don't matter what level of success you get to because
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: of what we were not taught. There's always a sense
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: of like having to teach yourself having to figure it
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: out in real time in front of the world, especially
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: if you're on a platform and building a business, and
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: the fifty to fifty chance that like you might mess
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: up or you might not and being able to recover
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: from that mess up. And that's like my biggest fear
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: is one day I wake up and like all of
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: this is like not there, and I try to get
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: out of that mindset. It's like a little bit of
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: like imposter syndrome and like do I deserve what's happening
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: and not deserve it like what was me?
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: But more so like.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: I always think I'm gonna wake up one day it's
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: gonna be like the jig is up and you didn't
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: really like you're not as good as you think you
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: are or you've always been or people think you are.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: And that's a weird feeling to have because again, when
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I say I always just want to come to work
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: and do the work, I don't even think about stuff
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: like that. I literally just like do the job I
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: know to do because I'm passionate about being able to
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: like talk and tell stories and create stories and all
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: that like, and I want to do it in so
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: many different ways. So at this level right now, and
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: what I'm doing looking at a Hanifah and you know,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: her decision to take a pause for a bit, she
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: made it very clear, is only a pause. I then
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: go into looking at my own stuff behind the scenes,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, all right, here's everything that I feel
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: like I'm lacking. Here's all the holes, and how can
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: we begetting to like fix this stuff now, even if
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: just small fixes. How can we make things more seamless
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: and you know, just everything so that as things do grow,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: because they're like it's just naturally happening, I'm able to
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: keep up. Like on the business on the back endside
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: of it, I'm able to keep up. But you know,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I thank God for having good people, like being able
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: to pick up the phone and call pep who've been
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: doing this for so much longer than I have at
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: a very high level, you know, and ask honest questions
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: and get honest answers and get resources.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I am so proud of that.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: But let's get on into the latest because speaking of
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: business and conversations, we talked about Matthew Knowles in the
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: interview that he abruptly ended, but he says that this
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: whole conversation is skewing the narrative and he's threatening legal action.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I think it's because it's impacting or could potentially impact
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: his business.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Let's get into the latest.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: So Matthew Knowles, father of Beyonce, who was married to Tina,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: knows Miss Tina Knowles and mister Matthew knows the parents
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: of Beyonce, and I keep just saying Beyonce, excuse me,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: the parents of Beyonce and Solange Knowles.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: He is now sitting.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Down and clearing up a lot of the issues that
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: came out of the conversation with pixe Levin and a
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: reporter named Kendis Gibson. Now, I told you guys on
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: a previous episode. We also talked about this on the
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Breakfast Club about how you know this interview was forty
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: plus minutes long. I gave you guys some look some
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: more like deeper looks into the interview yesterday, the full
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: interview yesterday, and now he is having another conversation. So
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: mister Matthew Knows uploaded a conversation with his team just
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: about everything that has been going on. So I want
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: to play a clip where he kind of explains why
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: he walked out of the interview and just just addressing everything.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Let's take a listen to mister Mathew Knows.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: I think I calmly what I said, and I'm actually
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: quoting what work did she put in?
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: It was a question when I look, I don't do
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: interviews colors. I have conversations, yeah, and I have the
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: right as you know, you know about college professor. I
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: didn't know what he meant by that, So I'm saying, calmly,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: what work did she put in? That was a question.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know how that became a comment, but it
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: was a question. And then the gentleman went on to
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: say her hair, Well, Tina did way more than just
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: her hair. And if you look after interview, you I
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: said her hair, No, she did the styling, built the
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: image for destiny. Shall when you agree, that's way more
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: than just saying someone did the hair.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Now, I told you guys on the previous podcast episode,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: we did speak to Kitness Gibson who said, who was
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: the journalist who conducted the interview for pix eleven, who
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: said he was not late. His call time and the
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: crew set up time were different. And mister Matthew Knows
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: just happened to be there a bit earlier, and who
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: also said that there was no he alleges that you know,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: there wasn't a bad vibe during the interview. I from
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: the interview I watched. I mean, I wasn't There was
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: a statement that was put out the Page Chicks yesterday
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: and I wasn't really sold on the statement from mister Knowles.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: But he's speaking for himself now, and I'm like, I
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: can understand where he's coming from a bit more.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: However, I do think the tone of his.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Response in that original abrupt stop, let's let's play that again.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I think that is the issue. Let's listen.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: You've earned your flowers, and so the same thing to
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: Christina Knowles. You guys put in the work and obviously.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: The talent was there with your kids and your grandkids.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: What work did she good at.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: In the hair.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Right at the end of styling, the style of imaging
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: she claim to have prayed on the name.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: And different aspects of that. Sure, yeah, it's.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: A joint effort.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: We'll stop.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: I said something wrong, Thank.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: You, thank you.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I think that is the issue, because I know mister
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Matthew Knows is debating that you know, he gave miss
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Tina Knowles her flowers and he wasn't trying to disparage
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: and you know, all these things. But I think when
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: you hear his response after what was said, right, because
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: it's like, y'all are equally receiving your flowers and you know,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: and he's like, we need to be able to have conversations.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: It's like.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: I would assume that mister Matthew knows is very aware
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: of Miss Tina Knowles's contributions to Destiny's Child, and and
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: again he says in that interview, and you guys just
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: heard him say her contributions and making sure that she got.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Her just due for them.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: So it just came off of and I think, look,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: even if that wasn't his intention, that's what happens when
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: you do these interviews, like the way that the Internet
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: can take something and make it one way and make
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: it another. If that is what he's arguing, I can
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: understand that I don't know necessarily, and it's not about
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: my feelings. I'm just here to tell you guys what happened,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: not how I feel for the most part. But I
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: also can very clearly see why people took this as like, hey,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: don't do that to miss Tina because she is just
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: as much a part of Destiny Child's legacy as you are.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: In and you know, mister Matthew Knows talked a lot
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: about where him and Miss Tina knows his relationship is today.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Let's take a listen to that, which a lot of
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: the media is not actually like posting. They're only posting
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: that one response that we just listened to. So let's
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: take a listen to where the relationship is today and
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: if they even have even discussed this, like, is it
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: something that they even cared about?
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Was it on their meter?
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, so at this point, it's like it's nothing
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: we could do but move on. I know mister Matthew
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Knows is threatening uh to take legal action, and you know,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I'll figure trying to figure out exactly what his angle
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: in there uh in on that would be. But I
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: would assume it's because of all of the negativity in
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: the in the negative conversation that he received following this clip,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: and the clip wasn't have from what I was told
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: I was I was told that mister Matthew Knows and
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: team allegedly had that part of the interview removed. So
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: if that is the angle, and again this is just
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: my educated guest that that is what what what would happen?
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: And even if it's just you know, him going at
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: various journalists or media outlets who reported it, I think
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: it would be him going after any people, anyone who
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: tried to interpret what he did as disparaging to Miss
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Tina Knowles indefinitely, Like I think fair use. There's something
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: called fair use where it's like, you know, if you're
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: a person of the media or a news organization, you're
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: able to utilize various assets, interviews, photos, and just conversations
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: and have conversations in a certain way because you're granted
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: a certain level of I won't say immunity, because media
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: is not immune in twenty twenty six and every action
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: has a reaction. It's free speech and free that is
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: very clear. But fair use is normally brought up when
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: a media outlet is trying to it's trying to have
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: a conversation about what is granted, Like how much can
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: I do because I'm a person of the media and
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: in my job it is my job to inform the
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: public and have certain conversations about certain things. But I
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: will say that even with that, there are responsibilities, like
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: there are there are ways that you can and cannot
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: talk about things and people. The definition of fair use
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: in the media is legally using copyrighted material without permission
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: through fair usementary criticisms, news, education, or using content that
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: is in the public domain. Under Creative Commons licensing, key
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: considerations include if the use is transformative, the amount that
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: you use, and the impact on the market. So yeah,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: I in my opinion, I think if he is actually
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: moving forward with legal action and that's not just something
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: that he's saying, because you know, he feels a way
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: about the outlet that put out this video which was
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: page six, I think his issue would lie there, it
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: would lie with the outlet. But we'll keep you updated.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: We'll keep you updated. I don't want to, I don't
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: want to speak for anybody. I just want to, you know,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: keep you guys updated as it happens. So that is
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: what we will do. But speaking of things and the
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Internet and things being miscontrued and you know all that
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: is happening, Queen Latifah uploaded a video to Instagram today
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: and Queen there was a big announcement that went down
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: that Queen Latifa and Taraji p Henton, you know, Queen
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Latifa has her Flavor Unit Entertainment, Taraji has Taraji p
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Heinton and her production company. They're going to partner together
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: to be working on some things for Lifetime and they'll
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: be telling stories across the platform and they're gonna, you know,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: bring Taye Diggs into it as well too. So it
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: was like a celebratory day for her. And then all
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, I saw her process video not too
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: long ago on her Instagram and I'm like, what happened?
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Like what is she responding to? Let's take a listen
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: to the video. And I still have yet to answer
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: this question.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: That is something that we will bring back in our
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: later episode, potentially on The Breakfast Club, because this is
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: all just happening right now in real time. But I'll
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: tell you what has been speculated on the Internet that
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I didn't even know was a thing until she posted
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: this video.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Let's listen to Queen Latifa.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: The morning It's sweets, Okay, I think be sure you
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: can't believe with your on your internet book or seeing
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: Commie can't believe that now right.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Now? Like I said, here's the tricks that the internet plays.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: So when she posted this video instantly My next thought
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: and storytelling is, Okay, there had to have been a
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: rumor about something health wise because she's posting basically a
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: proof of life video. But I know that there's also
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: been issues with deep fake videos but also AI photos. Right,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Dolly Parton, we talked about it here on the podcast.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Dolly Barton had to get on her social media platform
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: and let people know she was alive too. And then
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: when we went to Miss Patti Labelle's house for Thanksgiving,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Patti LaBelle told us at the Breakfast Club when we
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: did a Christmas breakfast with Miss patty Leabelle on the
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Breakfast Club, and she told us as well, she's had
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: to really address things that she would have never addressed
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: because they had her, you know, out of here as well.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: At one point with Dolly Parton that was something about
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: her in a Netflix series coming. I saw a post
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: speaking of, you know, just random things in medical They
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: were saying that Miss Patti LaBelle was going to be
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: doing a free hospital where people could go and get
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: care for for free, which was completely not true. So
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: these things happened, but when you talk about it as
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: the celebrity in the situation, it makes us go and
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: look like, okay, well.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: What was the people saying? Like what was happening?
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: So instantly I go to Google and I google what
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: is wrong with Queen Latifah. I see threads and TikTok
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: and random post on Instagram, two different things. So I
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: see a death hopes where people like thought she wasn't alive,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: and then I see something about her having some sort
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: of blood cancer and people feeling like she revealed to
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: the world that she had blood cancer. And I'm like,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: and I see, like from five days ago, there's like
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: a fake photo of her and somebody posted on their
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Answer story and it's like prayers up for the Queen
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: from Jersey. And in the photo, Queen Latifah is in
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: a bed, she has like a tube in her nose
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: and she's toning up a sign that says I have
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: late stage cancer. This might be my last post, Please
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: pray for me. And then the headline on this post
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: is Queen Latifah is blood cancer icons Midnight Revelation sparks
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: global outpouring of prayers and love. So basically, she had
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: posted this allegedly according to these fake reports, because we
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: know they're fake. The fake reports were saying that she
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: posted this, you know, one late midnight, and everybody was
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: freaking out, and now she's not good, Like to the
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: point where Queen Latifa, who is so out the way,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: who does not address anything, had to get online and
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: post a video to show you guys that she is good. Look,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not mad at mister Matthew knows and saying he
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: look legal action, y'all gonna stop playing with me.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Now. I'm a journalist.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: I'm in the media, so I never want to throw
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: another media outlet under the bus and say they deserve
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: legal action or whatever. But when it comes to, you know,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: protecting your name on the other side of it, when
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: it comes to protecting your name and things, I get
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: it because in twenty twenty six, there's so much take stuff.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: It's actually scary. Like it's really scary because I feel
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: like when I first started doing this, like being in
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: the media space with a real outlet. Before that, I
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: was just doing interviews on YouTube, right, And when I
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: would hear or see something like what Queen Latifa had
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: to post and response too, I would either wait because
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: they may or may not respond. On social media, Instagram
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: was so new you could barely do fifteen second videos.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: When I was doing my YouTube stuff and just responding
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: on social media and taking back your platform wasn't a
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: big of a thing.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Like at that point, it.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Was like people would only give statements to the media
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: or you would have to wait until they do their
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: next interview to hear from them. So I would be like, Okay,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: I need to get the next interview, and that's how
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: we're gonna find out if any of this is real
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: or not, or.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, if it was real, we wouldn't be able
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: to get it. But nowadays things are so.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Different, and it's like, I think the fake news and
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: all that stuff spread so fast. So it's like, as
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: the celebrity or as the business, you have to be
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: able to react. I wouldn't say fast, because I don't
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: think a fast reaction is the best anytime anything circulating,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: but you have to be able to react in a
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: way that like, if it doesn't jump ahead of what's happening,
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: it dominates the story. So Queen Latifa does not get
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: online in the dress anything ever, what's all There don't
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: be no statements and nobody know nothing, and she posted
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: this video. That means it's not about reacting fast, it's
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: about she knows the impact Queen Latifah posting a video
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: is gonna make the whole world stop and listen because
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: she doesn't do it. So this is her controlling and
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: taking back the narrative. It's crazy to have to see
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: her do that knowing that she doesn't do it right,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: knowing that she does not do that. What be Goldburgers
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: had to do that with the Epstein File. I was like,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: these are people and what be Goldberger is on the view,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: but she don't and she had to apologize for laughing
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: at something on America's Next Top Model Because of social
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: media as well, these are people that, even if outspoken,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: don't really they don't get into the semantics of like
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: the people and what's happening with the people saying, They
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: push through, they do what they gotta do, and.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: They move on. Things have done changed.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, this has been another episode of the Latest with
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Laura la Rosa. I'm your host, Lauren Rosa, and I
• 27:01
