  Speaker 1: of the conversation that shakes the room. Baby, now we
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: are checking in behind the scenes of the Grind. And
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I am so excited. Today kicks off of Mother's Day weekend.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: And I am not excited because I'm expecting a child. Okay,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: don't misconstrued. I am excited because I'm getting to go
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: home with my mom and my grandmother and celebrate them
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: for Mother's Day. I love any weekend that I could
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: take off of work and just be with my family, period,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: point blank, period again. But Mother's Day weekend is always
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: really special for my family. We do a mother or
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: to sleepover that has been happening for years and years
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and years and years in my family, and this year
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: we are it again. And it's kind of crazy how
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: when you get older, so many different things become like
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: your responsibility that wouldn't have been your responsibility before. So
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: like now me and my cousins are tasked with planning
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the mother and daughter to sleep over, and honestly, I
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: have not been as big of a help this year.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: These last couple weeks have been crazy, but I will
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: be there. Okay, So if you are listening to this
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: right now, I am already headed to my mother my
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: family to celebrate all things mom. And I don't know.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I just think it's it's the older I get. And
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I've always been a very family oriented person. I'll talk
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: a lot about my family on a podcast and wherever
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you listener or watch me at But the older I get,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I just really appreciate coming from a family full of love.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Like you know, everything don't always be perfect. People had
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: their things or every family has their things. But as
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I navigate the world and I navigate different people in
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: different places and different experiences, I feel like you can
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: always tell the difference in people who were raised in love,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and I mean in real love, like people who actually
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: love them and support them no matter what they can
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and can't do for them, no matter who they are.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: But like real bond family love, and my family's very
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: traditional as well too. And the older I get, oh my,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I just appreciate and look forward to that so much.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I've always been like this since I was a kid,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: where I looked forward to like anytime our family was
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: getting together. But I just really appreciate it a lot
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: more now, you know, with my mom and my grandmother
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: getting older, a lot of my family and birds getting older.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: You just, I don't know, you just want things to
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: You want things to be like right and calm and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: easy for the people you love in their old age.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: But you also look back and you just really want
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: to give them their flowers for making sure your life
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: was like that in the beginning of your life, like
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: very calm, very easy, very comfortable. So it's an amazing
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: feeling and I'm excited. And yeah, just I hope everybody
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: is headed out to have a great Mother's Day weekend
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: for you know, everybody this weekend that are grieving mothers
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and women in your family. I know sometimes holidays like
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: this can be hard for people as well too. I
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: want to provide you guys a resource. We spoke to
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Misshanti Das and she has a grassroots organization called Science
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and Shame and their mission is to exist to empower
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and educate different communities on mental health and mental wellness,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and you know, they provide resources for people who need help,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: who are going through various different things when it comes
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to mental health and grief. She has a grief booklet
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: that she has dropped that that talks about dealing with
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: various levels of grief and sadness. And she shared a
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: story with us on the Breakfast Club about how reaching
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: out to her community literally saved her life. And and
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I just want to provide this resource because as and loved,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: as you know a lot of us feel going into
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: this weekend at the holidays, I do always think about
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the people that don't have that same experience because of
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: you know, whatever they are going through as well. So
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: if you find yourself in need of someone to talk to,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: someone to make you smile this weekend, or someone to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: just hear your story or hear your grief this weekend
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: so that you don't fill alone and fighting it because
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you're missing someone in your family, text silence s I
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: L E n CE to seven zero seven zero seven zero.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: That is silence, and you text that to seven zero
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: seven zero seven zero. Now I want to segue on
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: into the latest because we're talking about people, you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: just just having things that they're having to deal with
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: in real life. And for me, it's like, Okay, we
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: sit and we talk about all of this news, and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: we report all of this news. But but I'm beginning
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: to learn as I get older as well too, is
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: like there's always there are humans behind these stories with
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: real lives, real you know, effects that the headlines really
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: affect them in real life, and they're actually people are
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: really battling these controversies that we are covering because it's
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: trending or to what people are talking about in real life.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Speaking of a person who it seems like, you know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: he's been battling a lot over these last couple of years,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Kodak Black. So, today I broke a story via my
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Twitter handle Lauren La Rosa l O r E N
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: l O r O s A, and we spoke about
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: it a bit on The Breakfast Club as well too,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: that Kodak Black is back at it again, going back
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and forth with the law, this time down in Florida.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: So I had gotten a tip through someone connected to
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the show that Kodak Black had been arrested down in Florida.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I reached out to his attorney, Bradford Cohen, who then
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: confirmed me that Kodak Black had been taken into police custody. Now,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: what he tells me is that Kodak Black actually turned
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: himself in on the night of Singo de Mayo because
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: their team had been notified that Marshall's planned to arrest
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Kodak Black. So Kodak Black got in contact with his attorney.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: His attorney reached out to the US Marshalls down in
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Florida Donal, Orlando, Florida. He flew in from California and
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: turned himself in. Once he turned himself in, he was
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: then charged with drug trafficking and they mentioned MDMA and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the charges. Now, Kodak Black's attorney, Bradford Cohen, tells me
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: that he believes his client is being targeted by police
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: and here's why he's saying that. So for background, this
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: is all stemming from an incident that happened in November
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five. So back in November twenty twenty five,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: police say that they were responding to a phone call
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: of gunshots fired in a neighborhood. When they arrived, they
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: found two luxury vehicles, one of them being a Lamborghini SUV.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: They approached the vehicles after responding to the call with
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and there were a ton of people in and around
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the vehicles. Kodak Black, they alleged, is one of the
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: people that were around the vehicles but not in the vehicle.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Police alleged that the vehicles smeot like weed, so the
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: officers then had probable costs to search the vehicles, so
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: they did that. Police say when they searched the vehicles,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: they then found one hundred dollar bill inside the Lamborghini
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: SUV that had a white substance on one hundred dollars bill.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: They then say they found a pink bag containing a
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: plastic bag of MDMA. They found in that pink bag
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: thirty seven thousand dollars, and they also found in that
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: pink bag a ton of documents with Kodak Black's name
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: listed on them. Now police say that at the time
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: of the the search on the scene that no one
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: wanted to take ownership for the bag or anything that
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: was found, but Kodak Black did act police officers if
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: he could have their thirties seven thousand dollars back because
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: he said that it belonged to his business, even though
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the bag was not his. Now, police then say later
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: on in their investigation following these searches, they went on
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Instagram and found photos, they alleged photos that they found
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: of Kodak Black with a pink bag that matched the
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: bag that was found at the scene where things were
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: found in a very specific lighter that was I guess
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: found at the scene as well too, was in another
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: one of the photos in Kodak Black's possessions. So they
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: are linking Kodak Black to this bag that was found
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: with the drugs from photos from Instagram. Now, originally, I
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: will say originally, when I talked to Kodak Black's attorney,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: he had told me that police officers said that they
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: found a bottle of cassyrup or lean in the pink bag,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and on that bottle there were fingerprints and that the
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: fingerprints checked out to be Kodak Blacks. Now that is changing.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Now Black's attorneys telling me there are no fingerprints on
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: anything whatsoever, but that police are only linking him to
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: that pink bag and charging him because of the photos
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: that they found on Instagram. And he tells me that
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the photo that was found on Instagram was from a
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: week prior to the search. That police are leaning everything
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: on now. Kodak Black made his first appearance in court yesterday.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I was told, you know, earlier yesterday when I talked
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: to his attorney that he'll be making an appearance in court,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: that they weren't worried at all about him receiving a bond,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: and that is what happened, even though the bond amount
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and how it escalated to me signals some things about
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: what we might see later on in this case, and
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I'll get to that. But Kodak Black made his first
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: appearance in court yesterday. He pled not guilty. He asked
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: for a drury trial, which is really smart in a
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: situation like this, and I'll explain why to that as well.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: And he also waved his right to appear in person
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: at an upcoming arrayment in Florida, which just means that
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: his team will be able to go for him and
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: just say not guilty again or whatever it's needed. Now.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: The state requested that, you know, in light of his
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: occupation and the fact that he is not actually from Orlando,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: that the bond be increased, and that one of the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: conditions be that he surrendered his passport. But Kodak Black's
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: attorney says that you know, Quodac Black is a Haitian American.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: He is a proud Haitian American, but he is an American.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: He has a US passport, he doesn't have any plans
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: on leaving the country, and that you know, they face
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: cases that are ten times more than the case that
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: they're currently having a conversation with. And his attorney makes
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: it clear that he's won, by the way, but the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: fact that he's a rapper doesn't give you know, the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: state any legal room to act for harsher a harsher
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: bond or you know, a harsher bond circumstances. So let's
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: clarify if you thinks so his team, so codect Black's
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: attorney the judge to set the bond at t in k.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: The prosecutors of the state asked for it to be
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: fifty k because they basically feel like it needs to
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: be heavier so that they can be for sure they'll
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: show up the court. And they again list the fact
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: that he's a professional rapper and you know that he
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: moves around and all these things. Now, a judge pointed
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: out that Kodak Black had previous felony convictions, had previous
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: misdemeanor convictions and had actually had been convicted of failure
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to appear in court a time previous. So the judge
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: decided to go above both the prosecutors and the defense
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: and set the bond at seventy five thousand dollars, and
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: he cited that there were twelve previous felony convictions and
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: two misdemeanor convictions and one failure to appear to be clear,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: So the judge says he's not worried about the fact
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: that Kodak Black is a rapper, it's more about his
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: record at this point, Like, I'm seeing all these convictions
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and I'm seeing that at some point you didn't even
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: appear to court, you know, at some point in one
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: of these cases. So I can't really trust that you
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: honor the court enough to take it easy on you.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: And I think that that signal was a lot for
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: what we'll see. And that's what I was talking about earlier,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: because you know, I think the judge pointing out the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: fact that he doesn't care about Qodect Black being a
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: rapper is great, but the fact that he's leaning on
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: here's what your past shows me and tells me it
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: doesn't sound like a judge trust you know the responsibility
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: of Quodact Black, which is going to say a lot,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: but it's it's great that they ask for the jury hearing,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: which I pointed out earlier, because if that is the case,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: now it's not just on the judge to determine anything, right,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: you have twelve people outside of the judge who will
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: actually be listening and determining. So it kind of stacks
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: the court not in Qodact's favor, but at least gives
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: him a more fair shot at trying to convince a
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: court that he's you know, not guilty, but also responsible
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: enough to learn from his you know whatever, you know,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: in case he does get hit with anything from this case,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: that he's able to learn from it and you know,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: no harsh punishments and you know, just kind they're thinking forward.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: His team is thinking forward. But Bradford Cohen is a
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: really great attorney, So I'm not surprised at that. I
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: don't know, I just think, you know, there's there's been
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: so many combos over this last year or two about
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Kodak Black, and I feel like people always have so
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: much say so much to say about Kodak Black and
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: his decisions that he makes out loud. But I just
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: really pray that people in silent like behind the scenes
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: what we're not able to see, you know, anybody that
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: he will listen to is actually having conversations with him
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: that need to be had. Because Quota Black is super talented.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: He has been able to become, you know, a very
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: successful music artist from nothing. But you only get one
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: life and it can't be played with And I would
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: hate to see a judge and a jail and a
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: jewelry be the final conversations or one of the final
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: conversations that he has in order for him to realize that,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: because you know, a lot of times, once that happens,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of times you lose everything. You know, you
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: got to start back over. And he's he's been down
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: this road before. This is not anything new, So it
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: just seems like he needs some real guidance and support
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: and I pray that he gets that. So we'll keep
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: you guys updated on you know, where things go from
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: here and any exclusive updates that I get. And again,
