- 1:25Speaker 2: This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment, news,
- 1:29Speaker 2: and all of the conversations that are shaking the room. Baby. Now,
- 1:33Speaker 2: we typically tend to check in behind the scenes of
- 1:36Speaker 2: the grind, but today I want to get right into
- 1:39Speaker 2: the latest because we have a lot to talk about.
- 1:45Speaker 2: I'm Diddy socardibe all over the place. Let's get into it.
- 1:48Speaker 2: So I want to keep you guys on in a
- 1:51Speaker 2: pill watch. You know, it has now been almost two
- 1:56Speaker 2: weeks since Diddy's team has argued their their appeal in
- 2:02Speaker 2: front of a second circuit court, you know, in front
- 2:05Speaker 2: of a panel of judges different judges than are different
- 2:09Speaker 2: judge or judges than who heard the case before. Of course,
- 2:15Speaker 2: that he was here in Southern District of New York,
- 2:19Speaker 2: and you know he was a judge, a judge named
- 2:23Speaker 2: Judge Submarinean. And now he is sitting before several judges
- 2:28Speaker 2: in a panel, or he's not physically sitting, or he
- 2:32Speaker 2: didn't physically sit. He was not actually in court. Part reports.
- 2:37Speaker 2: His sister and another one of his family members were
- 2:40Speaker 2: there along with his attorneys. But the case, the conversation
- 2:44Speaker 2: and decision is sitting with several other other judges on
- 2:48Speaker 2: a panel. So you know that the time is ticking.
- 2:53Speaker 2: We are on an appill watch. Now what this means
- 2:56Speaker 2: is that any day now we could hear a decision.
- 3:02Speaker 2: So we could hear any day now that Diddy has
- 3:04Speaker 2: been you know granted, you know, a relook at the
- 3:10Speaker 2: amount of time that he was given. And you know,
- 3:14Speaker 2: what the prosecution is arguing is that they were already
- 3:17Speaker 2: gracious with the time that Diddy was given, especially being
- 3:21Speaker 2: as though the prosecution wanted him behind bars for way
- 3:24Speaker 2: longer than fifty months. But the defense is arguing, you know,
- 3:28Speaker 2: this is not common for anyone who was convicted of
- 3:32Speaker 2: to count of the Man Act, which is you know,
- 3:35Speaker 2: prostitution and you know, transporting to prostitute. A person would
- 3:39Speaker 2: be behind bars typically about fifteen months and you know,
- 3:44Speaker 2: Diddy has served nineteen at this point. So in that
- 3:48Speaker 2: back and forth at the any day now, literally we
- 3:51Speaker 2: could hear something. I saw the report today by outlet
- 3:55Speaker 2: that said, you know, and I want to say it,
- 3:58Speaker 2: which is a think piece, but and by think piece,
- 4:01Speaker 2: I mean more opinion, and like, you know, what if
- 4:04Speaker 2: this happened, not this is guaranteed to happen. But you know,
- 4:08Speaker 2: with reports, things are all over the place. But the
- 4:11Speaker 2: conversation was about whether Diddy or not, whether Diddy or
- 4:15Speaker 2: the outlet posted a written article about if Diddy would
- 4:19Speaker 2: be home in time for Memorial Day. Now, if you
- 4:23Speaker 2: are anything black culture, you understand what that headline gives.
- 4:27Speaker 2: That headline gives is Diddy out? Are the parties back
- 4:31Speaker 2: popping by Memorial Day? Because you know Memorial Day weekend,
- 4:35Speaker 2: BT weekend, Grammy Weekend. Those were big Diddy party weekends. Huge, Okay,
- 4:43Speaker 2: Memorial Day, Labor Day. It would give you know, Miami
- 4:47Speaker 2: or Vegas for Diddy. Wow. I actually the year that
- 4:53Speaker 2: I graduated from college, me and my friends. Any if
- 4:56Speaker 2: any of y'all are listening, Hey, friends, y'all know what
- 4:59Speaker 2: I'm I'm about to say. We went to Vegas to
- 5:02Speaker 2: celebrate graduating from college in twenty fourteen, and did he
- 5:07Speaker 2: hosted a huge day party at Rehab, which is a
- 5:11Speaker 2: rooftop pool in Vegas. But yeah, you know, those holidays
- 5:14Speaker 2: are just religiously holidays that and maybe you should usually
- 5:18Speaker 2: religiously when we were talking about Diddy and his parties now,
- 5:20Speaker 2: but holidays at Diddy would throw these festivities because those
- 5:25Speaker 2: are you know, normally longer weekends. People are off work Friday,
- 5:29Speaker 2: off work Monday. They want to party just to feel good.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Weekend weather, it's nice and all those things. But that
- 5:36Speaker 2: reporting is not accurate. I've been literally checking in with
- 5:39Speaker 2: Diddy's team every day, and to the point I know
- 5:45Speaker 2: the publicist for the attorneys is tired to me, but
- 5:48Speaker 2: shout out to him because he's responds to me every
- 5:50Speaker 2: single time I reach out, even though he's literally at
- 5:53Speaker 2: this point copy and pasting and telling me they haven't
- 5:55Speaker 2: heard anything. But as of today, Diddy's team has not
- 5:59Speaker 2: heard anything on the appeal. What I was told before
- 6:03Speaker 2: was that this something like this because the judges basically said,
- 6:07Speaker 2: you know, we're not gonna rush to a decision in this.
- 6:11Speaker 2: They understand that it was expedited, so you know Diddy
- 6:14Speaker 2: was granted the expedited appeal hearing date. The prosecutors, I think,
- 6:18Speaker 2: you know, are confident enough where they're like, we don't
- 6:21Speaker 2: care if we do this now or later. We don't
- 6:25Speaker 2: what we charged you with and what you were convicted of,
- 6:27Speaker 2: we think will see. But because it was expedited, I
- 6:31Speaker 2: am told by a spokesperson for Diddy's team that typically
- 6:37Speaker 2: you would see or hear back within six weeks and
- 6:40Speaker 2: something that is expedited of this nature. But you know,
- 6:44Speaker 2: on average these things could take up to eight or
- 6:46Speaker 2: ten weeks, and it's only been maybe about two, so yeah,
- 6:52Speaker 2: I mean, if you are counting weeks, maybe Memorial Day
- 6:56Speaker 2: is there, you know, because that timing in May, I
- 6:59Speaker 2: under staying the mask and what people are doing. But
- 7:03Speaker 2: nothing indefinite at this point because they could also be
- 7:06Speaker 2: before then. It could also be later than you know,
- 7:08Speaker 2: that time period, so we'll stay on a pill watch.
- 7:11Speaker 2: I just want to give you guys a brief update
- 7:12Speaker 2: because I saw that report and was like, I know,
- 7:17Speaker 2: I've been checking in every single day, so maybe I
- 7:19Speaker 2: need to keep my people up to date as I'm
- 7:21Speaker 2: checking in. If there's not really too much to talk
- 7:23Speaker 2: to you guys about I won't bother you guys with
- 7:25Speaker 2: this every single day, but I know we followed the
- 7:29Speaker 2: case here very closely on the latest with Laura the Rosa,
- 7:32Speaker 2: so we will continue to do that during the appeal
- 7:35Speaker 2: as well too. And again, if there are questions that
- 7:37Speaker 2: you guys have about the status of anything where they are,
- 7:42Speaker 2: never mind answering questions. I'm Laura the Rosa everywhere. L
- 7:45Speaker 2: O R E N l O R O s A.
- 7:48Speaker 2: I'm not an attorney, but I know how to get
- 7:50Speaker 2: in contact with him to answer some questions. Now, shifting
- 7:56Speaker 2: gears a bit, speaking of a countdown and a wait.
- 8:00Speaker 2: The people have been waiting for Cardi B's Grow Good
- 8:03Speaker 2: hair care products to officially launch. Now, you guys will
- 8:09Speaker 2: remember that Cardi b had you know, a sellout within
- 8:15Speaker 2: minutes right all products. So the products literally range from
- 8:21Speaker 2: fourteen ninety nine to nineteen ninety nine, which is amazing
- 8:24Speaker 2: price points. You got products that are more expensive than
- 8:27Speaker 2: that at this point just in the hair store, so
- 8:30Speaker 2: that's amazing. But it's officially released today at noon EST
- 8:41Speaker 2: the fifteenth of April twenty twenty six. The products have
- 8:44Speaker 2: been released. Now, if you were listening to me early
- 8:47Speaker 2: in the am. Good morning, Gaul, Good morning y'all. If
- 8:51Speaker 2: you're listening to me early in the am, you guys
- 8:53Speaker 2: are ahead of the curve. Because bye, I want to say,
- 8:57Speaker 2: like if the pre sale sold out in ninety minutes
- 9:00Speaker 2: and Cardi has done so much more promotion since then,
- 9:03Speaker 2: and I think seeing products sell out make people want
- 9:06Speaker 2: to buy, or seeing anything sell out, seeing a pre
- 9:09Speaker 2: cell sellout makes people want to buy things even more
- 9:14Speaker 2: or tend to. You know, you go somewhere and it's
- 9:16Speaker 2: packed and you can't even get in. You're like, oh no, no, no,
- 9:19Speaker 2: I gotta get a reservation right, same thing with the products.
- 9:22Speaker 2: So I don't even think that at the last ninety
- 9:24Speaker 2: minutes this time around, so people are heading on over
- 9:28Speaker 2: to grow Good Dot Beauty to get the products. And
- 9:31Speaker 2: Cardi B is still doing press, things are still rolling
- 9:35Speaker 2: out even though she's on her little misdramator, which also
- 9:37Speaker 2: continues to sell out. She is just in a season
- 9:40Speaker 2: of so many blessings. So Cardi B sat down with
- 9:43Speaker 2: People magazine and she was having a conversation about hair
- 9:46Speaker 2: and the good hair bad hair conversation. And as much
- 9:50Speaker 2: as I love to have this conversation. I hate when
- 9:53Speaker 2: people say bad hair, that's sack a look.
- 9:56Speaker 1: I had like my hair, what was like that? And
- 10:01Speaker 1: everybody love my hair. I like your hair. Your is good,
- 10:04Speaker 1: Like ooh girl, look at your hair. It's it's a
- 10:07Speaker 1: lot of it's a lot of like positive affirmation stuff
- 10:10Speaker 1: because it's like that's really important. You kind of feel
- 10:13Speaker 1: a little bit like out of play sometimes when like
- 10:15Speaker 1: you see like your cousins like having here long hair,
- 10:19Speaker 1: or like when your aunties are doing all your cousins
- 10:21Speaker 1: here and they just start sucking their teeth when they
- 10:23Speaker 1: gotta do yours. Oh my god, her hair, Oh my god,
- 10:27Speaker 1: it's gonna take all day.
- 10:29Speaker 2: And she be crying.
- 10:30Speaker 1: So it's like I be trying to like to make
- 10:32Speaker 1: my kid know they're like doing their hair.
- 10:34Speaker 2: Is not like about it. Now. My hate wasn't Taccardi
- 10:38Speaker 2: because the conversation that she is having I appreciate, and
- 10:43Speaker 2: I feel like a lot of people are always scared
- 10:45Speaker 2: to have it. We actually just had this conversation on
- 10:48Speaker 2: the Breakfast Club with Crystal Renee Haslick, who plays in
- 10:53Speaker 2: Satina and has the podcast Keep It Positive Sweetly. So
- 10:57Speaker 2: we talked a bit to you know, about, well, why
- 11:01Speaker 2: people are so scared to get into the texture conversation,
- 11:05Speaker 2: the good hair bad hair conversation, and just acknowledge the
- 11:09Speaker 2: fact that one product will not work for all hair textures,
- 11:13Speaker 2: especially if you are selling product. People are so scared
- 11:16Speaker 2: to have that conversation. And I'm like, how there is
- 11:20Speaker 2: so much that does not work for my hair that
- 11:23Speaker 2: will work for the hair of like my cousins, different
- 11:27Speaker 2: family members. And I'm very aware of that, Honey, I
- 11:30Speaker 2: say in my lane all the way when it comes
- 11:32Speaker 2: to the products that I put in my hair. But
- 11:34Speaker 2: as a thirty four year old woman, it's taken me
- 11:36Speaker 2: some time to understand what works for me and what doesn't.
- 11:41Speaker 2: And I think when we think about good hair, bad hair,
- 11:45Speaker 2: textured non textures and just the very like, the very
- 11:49Speaker 2: like the variety of textures that exists, just let's just
- 11:53Speaker 2: talk about black women. And I know Cardi B doesn't
- 11:55Speaker 2: identify as black, well, she doesn't call herself a black woman.
- 11:59Speaker 2: I know. Oh, you know, there's that whole argument. I'm
- 12:01Speaker 2: not getting into that this episode. I don't feel like it.
- 12:04Speaker 2: But she is a woman with very textured hair. She's
- 12:07Speaker 2: a one with very thick, coarse hair. So let's get
- 12:10Speaker 2: into the conversation around the fact that people don't want
- 12:15Speaker 2: to have it that's coming on.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Like growing up, we always hear like it's like, oh,
- 12:18Speaker 1: she got that all hair, she got that good haad,
- 12:20Speaker 1: what does that mean?
- 12:22Speaker 2: You know what that mean?
- 12:23Speaker 1: When they were saying that, it wasn't talking about my hair.
- 12:25Speaker 1: I want people to know that it's like we're growing
- 12:28Speaker 1: our hair good, growing our hair good. It doesn't just
- 12:31Speaker 1: mean long hair. It doesn't just mean like it's like
- 12:34Speaker 1: you're here and that's another thing just because you got
- 12:37Speaker 1: like slick hair or like a certain type of texture here.
- 12:39Speaker 1: Like it's like, it doesn't mean that it's growing good though,
- 12:42Speaker 1: because like a lot of like a lot of women
- 12:44Speaker 1: like it's like you you have a certain type of.
- 12:46Speaker 2: Hair texture, but it's.
- 12:47Speaker 1: Thin, it breaks it, it's damage. Like it's like, what's
- 12:52Speaker 1: the point of having a hair texture and you're just damage.
- 12:55Speaker 1: It's not growing good. So it's like we're gonna grow
- 12:57Speaker 1: that hair good. Whatever texture is it, it doesn't matter.
- 13:01Speaker 2: I think the sooner we begin to understand that the
- 13:08Speaker 2: only difference between what people deem good hair and bad
- 13:10Speaker 2: hair is the easibility. And when you learn your hair,
- 13:14Speaker 2: and you learn your products and you learn you know
- 13:17Speaker 2: how to preserve your hair, whether it's wrapping it, braiding it,
- 13:21Speaker 2: twisting it, twisting it out, whatever the case may be,
- 13:24Speaker 2: one thing don't compete with the other. But it takes
- 13:27Speaker 2: time to figure that out, whether you're a parent of
- 13:31Speaker 2: a person with very textured hair, whether you're a person
- 13:33Speaker 2: with the hair and trying to figure it out on
- 13:35Speaker 2: your own. I know people who don't even do their
- 13:36Speaker 2: own hair. They just go straight to the hair justs
- 13:38Speaker 2: and not because they can't, but because it just takes
- 13:40Speaker 2: so much to deal with it. But I do want
- 13:42Speaker 2: people to really listen to what Carti said because a
- 13:45Speaker 2: lot of what this conversation was about was instilling things
- 13:48Speaker 2: in people young. And I remember growing up just the whole, like,
- 13:53Speaker 2: you know, having friends that were lighter than me, like
- 13:56Speaker 2: like more light skin than me. I remember when people
- 13:58Speaker 2: would like when my mom would come to school to
- 14:00Speaker 2: pick me up, because she's lighter skinned, she has freckles,
- 14:03Speaker 2: her hair texture is different than mine. People would literally
- 14:07Speaker 2: be like, am I adopted? I have cousins who have
- 14:10Speaker 2: hair down their back super curly, you know, texture a
- 14:14Speaker 2: lot more fine than my hair, And I remember having
- 14:18Speaker 2: sleepovers and my other friends who had never met them
- 14:20Speaker 2: would be like, wait, these are your cousins? How like
- 14:23Speaker 2: literally remember that? And the way that that makes you
- 14:26Speaker 2: feels like you're almost trying to figure out, like, well,
- 14:29Speaker 2: what's wrong with me? Not even almost, you are trying
- 14:31Speaker 2: to figure that out, and a lot of it again,
- 14:34Speaker 2: it goes back to like there's like these beauty standards
- 14:36Speaker 2: of like what's good and what's bad, when the conversation
- 14:39Speaker 2: we should be having is how well are things kept
- 14:41Speaker 2: versus how well are they not kept? So I'm always
- 14:46Speaker 2: here for a beauty brand, kind of sower and a
- 14:49Speaker 2: beauty brand. You know, I guess you would call her
- 14:52Speaker 2: like a is that an expert? I would I don't
- 14:56Speaker 2: know if I would call her an expert yet, because
- 14:59Speaker 2: this is you know, this is the first drop, first
- 15:01Speaker 2: go round. But I mean, whatever she's been doing has
- 15:04Speaker 2: been working for her. Obviously it's you know, it's work
- 15:06Speaker 2: of Cardi, So maybe I would call it. I'm not
- 15:09Speaker 2: for sure, But for a person who was selling hair
- 15:12Speaker 2: products to really understand the depths of words, conversation, comparison, durability, ease,
- 15:28Speaker 2: that is such a breakthrough. In twenty twenty six, because
- 15:30Speaker 2: people love to talk to you as if like black women,
- 15:36Speaker 2: black people in general are monolithic. I can't speak for
- 15:40Speaker 2: colored people, and I don't like to do that. I
- 15:42Speaker 2: don't like to do the whole people of color thing.
- 15:44Speaker 2: It's like, I can speak for me as a black person,
- 15:47Speaker 2: and I've always felt like, when I buy these products,
- 15:50Speaker 2: why don't you talk to me directly about what it
- 15:52Speaker 2: will do for my exact hair texture. And I've seen
- 15:55Speaker 2: products and you know, demonstrations on products where they try
- 15:59Speaker 2: to do that, but you never hear leadership of these
- 16:02Speaker 2: companies directly address that. But I think that is changing now,
- 16:06Speaker 2: and I think that that shows you know, how different
- 16:08Speaker 2: the industry is, and I think it shows you, guys,
- 16:11Speaker 2: pay attention. It shows you, guys, where the beauty product
- 16:15Speaker 2: industry knows the money is coming from. So they're gonna
- 16:19Speaker 2: speak directly to you because they want you to use
- 16:21Speaker 2: the product. And we've gotten to a point where we're
- 16:24Speaker 2: out loud about the fact that we are tired of
- 16:26Speaker 2: the good hair bad hair. We are tired of not
- 16:29Speaker 2: being able to find, you know, the products we need
- 16:31Speaker 2: for ourselves when we walk down the beauty aisles, the
- 16:33Speaker 2: hair aisles, the makeup aisles. So now these brands, they're
- 16:38Speaker 2: speaking directly to you. I think Cardi B has a
- 16:43Speaker 2: combination of things where she's gotten it right though, just
- 16:46Speaker 2: because even if you don't like I'm gonna buy the product,
- 16:50Speaker 2: I'm gonna try anyway. I'm gonna try to buy it.
- 16:52Speaker 2: We'll see where.
- 16:53Speaker 1: You know.
- 16:54Speaker 2: I'm sure there's gonna be a wait and that whole thing,
- 16:58Speaker 2: but I'm excited to actually try it and test it out,
- 17:01Speaker 2: and you know, just see how it works for me
- 17:04Speaker 2: and and and I'll be back to let you guys
- 17:06Speaker 2: know when that happens. Now, I did mention, you know,
- 17:10Speaker 2: just being in such a season of blessing and what
- 17:14Speaker 2: happens when you sometimes get in that season. I hate
- 17:16Speaker 2: to see this and sometimes I think when everything is
- 17:19Speaker 2: going well, things are on the up and up, it's
- 17:25Speaker 2: still very difficult to escape the pressure of getting of
- 17:29Speaker 2: what it took to get to that point. And Cardi
- 17:31Speaker 2: B was on an Instagram live and she talked a
- 17:33Speaker 2: bit about that, let's.
- 17:33Speaker 1: Say, this shit is hard, Like being famous is really
- 17:37Speaker 1: kind of weird, Like it's just it's like a weird
- 17:40Speaker 1: feeling that like I don't know, and there was a
- 17:42Speaker 1: point that like, I feel like in this fame shit
- 17:44Speaker 1: that everybody fucking hated me, and that is not true.
- 17:48Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that hated me, that put
- 17:50Speaker 1: a lot of dirt on me. Know what, I noticed
- 17:53Speaker 1: that for three or four years straight, I was depressed,
- 17:56Speaker 1: and I didn't know that I was just depressed, like
- 17:59Speaker 1: people like social media was getting in my head so much.
- 18:02Speaker 2: They made me believe.
- 18:03Speaker 1: That I'm not who I was supposed to be or
- 18:06Speaker 1: where God wanted me to be. And that feeling gets
- 18:11Speaker 1: to you so hard. It gets to the point that
- 18:13Speaker 1: you're comfortable, like yeah, Like no matter how many times
- 18:16Speaker 1: people around me was saying.
- 18:18Speaker 2: Like it's like you're Cardi, You're Cardi.
- 18:19Speaker 1: You this, and it's like you're telling me that I'm Cardi,
- 18:22Speaker 1: but so what if I'm Cardi?
- 18:25Speaker 2: Who the fuck is Cardi? To who the fuck is Cardi?
- 18:28Speaker 2: Like whatever? So I just.
- 18:30Speaker 1: Started getting comfortable, and I was just letting I was
- 18:34Speaker 1: getting so comfortable to the point that I have little
- 18:36Speaker 1: bit never even accomplished anything that I accomplished, like this
- 18:40Speaker 1: in me and trying me and thinking that they could
- 18:42Speaker 1: do what I do and it's like they can't. So
- 18:48Speaker 1: you know, I just felt like there was just this
- 18:50Speaker 1: one day that I just woke up and I was like,
- 18:53Speaker 1: you know what, I gotta let my fears go.
- 18:58Speaker 2: I gotta let my fears go.
- 19:00Speaker 1: And that's exactly what I did, and I put out
- 19:03Speaker 1: my album.
- 19:04Speaker 2: I'm wishing nothing but blessings for everybody who is honest
- 19:08Speaker 2: enough to admit life is not the easiest all the
- 19:11Speaker 2: freaking time. I always feel like I am complaining whenever
- 19:18Speaker 2: I have a moment where I'm like, oh, this is
- 19:21Speaker 2: not what I thought it was gonna be. Oh this
- 19:23Speaker 2: is not easy. Lord, let's talk. I need I come here,
- 19:28Speaker 2: I need I need some help. But I don't I
- 19:30Speaker 2: don't think that we should feel like that. I think that,
- 19:32Speaker 2: you know, as people who are establishing brands, businesses, career,
- 19:38Speaker 2: you know, homes. And when I say homes, I don't
- 19:41Speaker 2: mean like you're working in real estate. It could be
- 19:43Speaker 2: that too, but I mean, like, you know, if you're
- 19:44Speaker 2: a homemaker, like if you are ensuring people's daily comfort
- 19:49Speaker 2: and livelihood is good, that is a lot of pressure
- 19:54Speaker 2: and that pressure comes with things, and it's okay to
- 19:56Speaker 2: admit that, but that right there is why people fling
- 20:01Speaker 2: to Cardi b's products period. I was gonna say in
- 20:04Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, but I feel like she would have
- 20:07Speaker 2: seen it would have been, you know, her audience had grown,
- 20:10Speaker 2: has grown since we first met her. But people have
- 20:13Speaker 2: always been super connected to her and her words because
- 20:15Speaker 2: she's been very honest from the beginning, super honest from
- 20:19Speaker 2: the beginning. And I'm not gonna lie to you, guys.
- 20:23Speaker 2: I talk to you a lot on the podcast about
- 20:24Speaker 2: some of the things that I'm going through or just

- 20:31Speaker 2: behind the scenes of the grind before the episode start,
- 20:34Speaker 2: and a lot of times when I'm done, I'd be like,
- 20:36Speaker 2: oh my God, Like God, I hope that that didn't
- 20:40Speaker 2: come to your from my mouth to your ears as complaining,
- 20:44Speaker 2: because I never want to do that. I always want
- 20:46Speaker 2: to I always want to be, you know, to stay
