All right, Well, that would shine a light on him.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
And when we come back, we have yet let's talk
about Jason Derulo. There are accusations against him now and
we'll tell you what he has to say about them.
It's way up with Angela ye yet next yo.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
She's about to blow the lead off this, but let's
get it.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
Angela's feeling that yet, Come and get your tea. All right,
it's way up at Angela Ye Angela yee Mano is
here and let's get into some yet.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Jason Derulo is being accused of sexual harassment and retaliation
against the woman who was formerly signed to him, twenty
five year old Imajah Gibson. She says that he dropped
her from her record deal after she repeatedly rejected his
sexual advances. She was in a small girl group called Sarati,
and then when the group disbanded, she ended up getting

(06:19):
signed as a solo artist.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
She was still doing music after that.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
As part of the contract, she was reportedly required to
create a mixtape in four months and a full length
album in six She also was allegedly required to feature
Jason Derul on at least one of her singles, and
she said that was great. That offered was a no brainer,
but she said soon after signing the deal, he would
consistently invite her to private lounges, would pressure her to
drink during recording sessions, and she said she typically declined

(06:44):
those invitations for two reasons. She wanted to keep their
relationship professional and she didn't want alcohol to affect her
performance in the studio.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
And then she said she did agree to.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Drink with him during a session and was given inappropriate
large amounts of alcohol. And she said that he told
her she might have to participate in goat skin and
fish skills, which was an apparent reference to cocaine use
and a sexual act. She took this as a demand
for sex in exchange for success, and then she was
trying to finalize her deal with Atlantic, but just minutes

(07:13):
before the meeting, he introduced her to another aspiring artist
named Rosa and said that she was tagging along because
he was on some f ish, suggesting that she was
in a sexual relationship with him. So she was convinced
that he was using that woman, Rosa, as an example
of the ways that she could advance her career. So

(07:33):
you know, she ended up having She said to step
back because she realized the aggressive manner in which he
invaded these her personal space in the inappropriate volume of
his voice when he charged her and her mom while
other staffers were present. So she said he was angry
and violent when she mentioned that to him. All right,
she said, she has anxiety and she's traumatized, She's dealt

(07:55):
with inhumane work situations, so now she's suing him for
intimidation and breach of contract. She wants compensation for unpaid
wages and loss of earnings, as well as damages for
emotional distress. Now, Jason Derula has responded, and here's what
he said.

Speaker 8 (08:09):
I wouldn't normally comment, but these claims are completely false
and hurtful. I stand against all forms of harassment, and
I remained supportive of anybody following their dreams. I've always
starved to live my life in a positively impactful way,
and that's why I sit here before you, deeply offended
by these defammatory claims.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
God bless.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
All right.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
So that's all we know so far, her accusations and
his response.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
She said that he wanted to sample the goods.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
All right, and that's traumatizing.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah, and I do feel like it happens a lot
to women in the business, but we don't know if
this was the situation here, all right now, Gunna, His
latest single f You Mean is now certified platinum, as
his album Gift and a Curse has also gone gold,
and so he went on his Instagram story to share
that screenshot of his certification, So congratulations to him. Now

(09:04):
that's somebody who it felt like it could have been
over and then he just wasn't an album that people
love it.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
And now we see him going on.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
Tour, right because yeah, I knew that it was gonna happen, all.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Right now, SNL the season forty nine opener they have
announced is scheduled for October fourteenth, and Ice Spice is
going to be the musical guest, and Pete Davidson will
also be on the show as well. Yes, and then
the week after that is Bad Bunny and Bad Bunny.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
What did you say something else? Oh yeah, Pete, Well,
I mean Pete.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
I always look at him as on SNL still even
though I know he's not anymore.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
So that's kind of funny.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
But yes, all right, And AMP that Amazon amp has
shut down. I know we've seen this before, but a
lot of people had shows on AMP.

Speaker 8 (09:51):
You know.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Nicki Mina had her show on AMP.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Joe Button had a show on AMP Music Lovers Only
with Joe Button. Nicki Mina had the partnership for Queen
Radio after she took it off from Apple Music and
went over to Amazon. But in the meantime, Amazon Music
Live Season two is returning with Little Dirk and Metro Booming.
That is a show that's toasted by two chains. It's
a weekly concert series that airs every Thursday night. All right,

(10:14):
so that's already back. Next week is going to be
Metro Booming. Little Dirk did it this week, and then
Lotto is coming after that, and that is your Yet
when we come back, we have about last night. That's
when we discussed what we did about last night. Mayno
is about to jump out of the seat, so let's
get into it about last night. It's next is way
up at Angela?

Speaker 4 (10:33):
Yee?

Speaker 10 (10:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (10:34):
Last night?

Speaker 3 (10:35):
So about last night?

Speaker 11 (10:37):
Last night?

Speaker 4 (10:38):
Last nights I went.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Down what's up? His way up at Angela?

Speaker 4 (10:42):
Yee?

Speaker 2 (10:43):
I'm Angela yee. I would say a mana, but he
is on the turlet. We're gonna find out what he
ate last night that had him sitting here with ants
in his pants?

Speaker 4 (10:51):
Who made up best saying ants in your pants?

Speaker 6 (10:53):
Has it? Oh?

Speaker 4 (10:54):
Here he comes?

Speaker 2 (10:54):
All right, come on, may No, it's okay, come on
in all right, Mano is here, so I'll talk about
what I did last night while you get adjusted. Okay,
So last night I was actually with one of my
really good friends. Her name is Ingrid Ingrid Best, and
she actually just launched her IE Best wine, and honestly,

(11:18):
it was a great conversation. I'm definitely gonna have her
up here. But she went to South Africa to actually
develop this wine, so it was not just her putting
her name on a wine. It took her two years
to get the exact right, you know, whatever she had.
I don't know what the process of making. She went
there and there's not a lot of wine that we

(11:39):
sell here from South Africa, but she's like, I don't
understand why.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
It's amazing she went over there and picked the grapes.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
She really basically lived there for months, you know, just
working on this, making sure that she knew everybody that
was involved in the process. By the way, she has
an all women team, which I love, and so if
you look at the website for her I Best Wines,
you could see the whole team, which is amazing. And
so I went out with her. And she doesn't live
in New York anymore. She's she's actually from Oakland. She

(12:05):
lives in LA. You can go to Ibestwines dot com
to see this, but to see what she's done so
far for her business was really inspirational to me. She
went from when I first met her, she worked at Hennessy.
She's always worked in the spirits, and then she went
and she was working with Bacardi on Duce, and then
she went and was working with Diddy for Sirac and Delion,

(12:27):
and then she left to start her own thing, which
was a scary thing to not have that paycheck that's
always coming in.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
It's always scary to try something new.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
And not have that stability of like a nice check
to make sure that you're good. And she's basically been
using her own savings. But I'm happy to say good chance. Yeah,
she took that chance. And her very first client is
the Virgin Hotels. They placed orders to put it on
a menu for all their hotels and I gave it
to my guy Robinson at Eclectic Wines and Liquors in Brooklyn,

(12:56):
and he tried it.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
He said, the wine is amazing.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
And so I'm happy for her because I always know,
like she's the type of person if she's doing something,
it's gonna be to a high level of whatever she does,
I'll stand behind it because I already know how she is.
She's a perfectionist, and so I'm just really happy. So
we sat down and went to dinner last night, and
she was like, Angela, all i've been doing is working.
Thank you so much for actually making me come out

(13:19):
and like just sit down for a minute. And because
I haven't had a chance to do that, and she's
been really stressed out. So I just went to show
her some love and I'm just excited. We went for
a walk, we were able to catch up and talk
and She's like, I really needed this.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
And so that's what I did last night. What about you, Mana.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
I was out in the city. I went I went
to screening for.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Okay you want to go to the First Lady at BMF,
the Tenisa Welch story.

Speaker 3 (13:46):

Speaker 2 (13:49):

him to get him to my class, all because I
knew I wanted to day him, like it's been two
years now and we've been dating, but nobody knows in
our business what type of class our business credit. He
wanted to start his own business, so I knew his

The music stopped and everybody was looking. Then I zipped
my pants back up. Then the music started and the
girls was just like coming on to me and trying
to dance.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
I don't know about this.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
Yeah, we need more people.

Speaker 13 (20:06):
I'm just serious. That was just a secret that, you
know what I'm saying, I wanted to get off, you
know it. It was just kind of crazy. That did
my neighbor. I have to see him every day. He's
still you know what I'm saying, He's still.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
He Maybe you didn't realize it.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
It must have been.

Speaker 13 (20:26):
It was just crazy.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
Okay, thank you for sharing.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
Ye don't let your stuff fall out?

Speaker 4 (20:33):
All right?

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Well, that was tell us a secret if you believe it,
and when we come back, we have yet has there
ever been a deal that you regret not doing? But
we'll tell you one deal that could have been worth
hundreds of millions of dollars that was turned down by
Doctor Dre. It's way up with Angela Yee says the room.

Speaker 5 (20:49):
From industry shade to all of gosp out. Angela's feeling that, yes.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
It's way up at Angela. Ye, Angela ye, and man
is here.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Yeah, Happy Friday, everybody, Happy Friday Friday. Now, let's talk
about an interview that Bernard did but the Bootleg keV podcast.
I got to Bootleg keV.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
Oh my god, right there Bootleg.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Yes, where Bernard talked about sitting down with Doctor Dre
and presenting him with some chronic, the chronic that would
have been a great seller, by the way, for a
string of marijuana. That was it right there, the chronic,
but doctor d unfortunately turned that deal down.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
That could have been huge. By the way, here's what
he said happened.

Speaker 14 (21:30):
And I showed him a jar of what we wanted
to call the chronic and it was by far the
best looking weed we've ever produced. And he was just like, yeah,
I quit it, and I appreciate Slim putting this play together,
and you know, we'll think about it, but like, I
don't know if I really want to kind of put
myself in the industry.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
And I got you know, he told me.

Speaker 14 (21:48):
I got money, money, and I don't really want to
play with that until you know, maybe it's federally illegal.
I just don't want to risk it.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
Gotta respect that though.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
And by the way, Berner as the CEO of Cookies
and founder. He was the first cannabis entrepreneur to ever
be on the cover of Forbes magazine one last year.
So just for him to have been in this as
long as he has and to make the money that
he's made amazing, you know, sheh. But I know sometimes

(22:19):
you look back at things you could have did, yeah,
because you don't know which way.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
You don't know, sometimes you miss those opportunities.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
Yeah, all right.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Now, Gunplay's wife is saying that gun plays drug abuse
is what caused her daughter's heart defect. She made this
claim on Instagram Live earlier in the week, and here's
what she had to say.

Speaker 15 (22:39):
The reason why my daughter had a heart defect is
because of his drug abuse history.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
He was the cause of heart defect.

Speaker 15 (22:45):
Y'allul Google is anybody who abuses cocaine keebine when she
did to.

Speaker 4 (22:49):
He actually owed you on condan twice.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
It causes cognitative disorders and dysfunctions.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
Like that.

Speaker 15 (22:55):
So that's where my daughter's heart was up, and he
took it really hard.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
All right now.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
She also said that she wasn't aware that he had
started using drugs before they began dating, and when she
did find out, that's why they started fighting a lot,
and that he would blame allergies instead of admitting that
he was on.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
Drugs, Like.

Speaker 7 (23:14):
I was gonna be my question, does she not know
that he was doing whatever he was doing before they
even had a.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Baby, And she was like, you know, his nose would
be all red because he's very yellow, she said, and
he would be using that afron nose spray, So when
his nose was red, she was like, what's going on?
And he would just say it was just allergies and
she believed him from that. So that's what she's saying happened.
I saw a lot of people saying, why is he
still on love and hip hop? I don't know that
he still will be, you know when when the show

(23:40):
don't know what it's going.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
Those episodes was probably already shot.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
Yeah, I'm much. I have no idea, So I guess
we'll see.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
But I've seen people write people out of shows before,
where they basically re edit to take people out of scenes,
so we'll see what happens, all right now. David Beckham,
they have a four part documentary called Beckham Him in
Victoria Beckham, And there's a clip from that four four
part documentary where he is talking with her and she's

(24:09):
saying that she's had a hard life and talking about
being working class and her family being working class, and
he basically was like, stop lying.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
Here's what happened. We're very working class. I am being
drive me to school. It's not a simple answer, because
did you get it depends?

Speaker 11 (24:31):
No?

Speaker 3 (24:32):
No, no, no, no, okay.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
In the eighties my dad had a Rolls Royce.

Speaker 7 (24:38):
Yeah that's working class, all right, you be honest.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
She was just looking like she really was trying to
act like you got a.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
From Spice girls.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Yeah, yeah, push spice. And there's a reason for that,
you know. Can you imagine me know what type of
car did you your son get driven to schooling?

Speaker 3 (25:03):
Bent least Rose Russe's.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Now imagine him trying to say he came from a
working class. He's still working class though, Yeah I'm working
Let me tell you you want to know what I got?
First of I s Tod be so embarrassed to get
dropped off in school because we never had a nice
car my whole life growing up. First my dad had
a Duster and then he had a Monte Carlo that
was bright yellow.

Speaker 4 (25:23):
It was so embarrassing my father had.

Speaker 7 (25:26):
My father had one car was an old call, like
a Chevy, and he was all beat up in white
and he painted black and it looked nice, and it
was like we finally got a call.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
We had that call for a little while.

Speaker 7 (25:36):
And then when my father got addicted to crack cocaine,
that was one of the things that was gone.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
That car.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
That car, That car matters.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Boy, when you got to get jopped off and people
see you get out the car.

Speaker 7 (25:45):
We lived in the project, so it was like everybody,
most people didn't have cars, right, So it was a blessing.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
Yeah, we had a call for a little while, maybe
like maybe a.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
Year maybe, And growing up, even having to park the
car was tough in Brooklyn.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
Yeah, driving around for hours, we're shrying to find a spot.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
You know, I forgot about that, all right.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Well, yeah that's a Brooklyn thing for sure, a New
York thing. When we come back, we have under the radar.
These are the stories that are not necessarily in the headlines.
They are flying under the radar. It's way up with Angela.

Speaker 5 (26:13):
Ye, the news that relates to you. These stories are
flying under the radar.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Yes, it's way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee.
And Mano is here and shout out to miss l
on Twitter. She said that man lying about his stuff
falling out his pants. He just wants to be on
the radio with his lioness. Yes, she was talking about
tell us a secret. I'm so mad about that. All right, now,
let's get into some under the radar stories. So the

(26:39):
CDC is going to be recommending an antibiotic pill that
you can take after sex to prevent STI sexually transmitted infections.
So doctors are talking about prescribing some of their patients uphill.
It's called doxy cycling, and that's a new draft of
recommendations that they're talking about. It could prevent bacterial infectings

(26:59):
from taking root when taken in the day soon after
potential exposure during sex. So if you have that on hand,
just imagine sometimes man no, I'm sure.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
You're like, why did I do that? And then you
can just take this pill get me a pill.

Speaker 6 (27:16):
On deck.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
All right.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
So for those people that they're recommending are people who
are hardest hit by STI epidemics, Gay, bisexual, and other
men who have sex with men, as well as trans women.
They are saying that the recommendation is also for those
who have been diagnosed in the past year with at
least one sci caused by bacteria, and others could be
considered based on participating in events that raise the risk

(27:40):
of exposure to SCIS. So I think that's another group
of people. Probably if you're in the adult industry and
there's sometimes when there's like a breakout, but you don't
know to after because people do get tested, but sometimes
there's a lapse right when something shows up.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
I always think about that.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
We know you want to get in that indie street,
so we can get you a nice prescription.

Speaker 4 (28:04):
And me a couple bottles on hand. Yes, all right.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Now, Ring Cameras are offering one million dollars for footage
of aliens or UFOs. The company has launched their million
dollars sear It's for extra terrestrials this week, and so
anybody who has unaltered proof of extraterrestrial life documented on
a Ring camera can get one million dollars.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
Okay, they need to give me my money because I
think I got something.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
Well, we need to see that.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
Yeah, I'll submit it.

Speaker 4 (28:33):
All right.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
If you don't have legit proof, you can still participate
for the Out of This World prize. It's a five
hundred dollars Amazon gift card. All you have to do
is submit a clip of yourself in an alien costume
or of your best homemade UFO. I feel like we
need to set up some type of UFO signing on
your ring.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
I got it.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
I'll walk past in an alien outfit and submit it.

Speaker 4 (28:54):
I'll run past like then you'd be like, oh my god.
All right.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Now, you know how sometimes before you go to bed,
you have some water, maybe you runing out, you had
some drinks, and then you have to pee in the
middle of the night all the time. Well, now a
urologist is giving you three tips on how you can
stop from having to pee in the middle of the night.

Speaker 4 (29:12):
All right.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
One, this is a very obvious one. Don't drink a
lot of liquids before bed. Not only is it how
much you drink, but it's also what you're drinking and
what time you're consuming. It so a lot of people
who have to keep on going in the middle of
the night, saying, hey, don't drink.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
A glass of water right before bed.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
If you get up in the middle of the night
because you have to urinate, don't drink another glass of
water right when you get up to urinate. So they're
saying that that's some things to think. I always do that.
By the way, I actually don't mind getting.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Up in the middle of night.

Speaker 7 (29:40):
I drink water all day long, right before I go
to bed as soon as I wake up, so I
gotta go all day long.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
And they said anything with caffeine. I see, with caffeine,
that's also problematic overnight. Now no alcohol before bed. Also
with another thing that can have an effect on you
having to get up in the middle of the night
to go to the bathroom. They're saying that drinking alcohol
during the evening can increase the desire to urinate. Now,
I will also say, you know how sometimes you're out
drinking and they're like, don't break the seal because once

(30:07):
you go one time, you keep on having to go.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
So you're like, man, I ain't gonna be able to
do it.

Speaker 4 (30:11):
Yeah, listen, if I have to go.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
I have to go. That's just what it is. And
wearing knee high stocking can also help. Now they know,
don't try this at home. But when you're laying down,
the fluid can leave and enter the vascular space, which
your kidneys can read as increased fluid, and so retention
of fluid and the legs can affect how much you
have to go to the bathroom for both men and women.
So if you wear knee high stockings, any kind of

(30:36):
ringing around their socks, they said, if you're getting up
twice a night, you know, they're saying that that modification
can help.

Speaker 4 (30:44):
So, yeah, I don't think you want to do all that.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
I don't I have no I can't wear I don't
wear nothing.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
Okay, that was that was too much information. No socks, nothing, okay.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
All right, Well we have the Way Up Mixed coming
at the top of the hour that was under the radar,
and now we know what's happening under the sheets with
Mano the Way Mixed at the top of the hour,
plus mister Easy is going to be joining us. It's
way up with Angela yee, she's like the like they
Angela Jean, like they Angela Jean Man.

Speaker 5 (31:15):
She's spilling it all. This is yeaty way up.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
What's up? His way up? With Angela Yee. I'm Angela
Yee and Mano is here.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
I'm here.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
You end the building. I don't know what happened yesterday,
but you're here today.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
Radio.

Speaker 4 (31:29):
I was all casting, okay, okay, I got that show coming.
I'm gonna be on it now.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
Ed Sharon was talking to GQ Hype and there's one
thing that he said that I thought was very interesting.
He said that he actually has his own grave in
his backyard ready to go, and it's basically like a chapel.
It's a place where he can mourn people in his
life who have died, and when it was being built,
he realized that he would also like to be buried

(31:57):
there so that his daughters could also remember him there.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
Oh wow, that's different.

Speaker 4 (32:02):
Yeah. I know people a lot of times will.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Will also plan their funeral in advance, like have the
money set aside, have the tombstone picked out, all of that,
have the coff and paid for. Actually, one of my
friends tell me her mom did that already so that
the kids. When you know, things happen and not only
are you sometimes stressed out when a loved one passes.
The financial part of it can be really stressful. So

(32:30):
her mom already has all of that in order and
in place, so that all they have to do is,
you know more and everything else. I don't know about
that because you don't know how old you're going to be,
what's going to be installed at that time. So that's
probably a little bit of a harder thing to do.
But yes, all right now, Lotto, let's talk about partnerships.

(32:51):
She has partnered with Halls and she's giving fans limited
edition pep talks. There's motivational phrases inside the rappers. Here's
what she had to here's the commercial of Lotto with
her halls.

Speaker 15 (33:03):
You know those days when you just need a breather
or something and keep you going. Halls pep talks did
that for me. I wrote pep talks inside their rappers
to give you that energy to be the box you are.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
First of all, I feel like Halls is such a staple,
Like whenever you're like, oh my throat hurts a little
or whatever, the first thing you want to do is halls,
And for some reason like that's yeah, I always have
Halls in my house. So I love that partnership, and
especially as an artist for what she does. And I
know for me on the radio, for you being an
artist exactly, having to know that you have to talk

(33:37):
and get your voice together is very helpful.

Speaker 4 (33:39):
I write. Another great partnership.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
Sweety has partnered up with Tender all right, and she
has this whole swipe campaign with them, and so that's
I think that's a good one. It's called swipe Off.
The collab is a nationwide challenge where the college with
the most swipe activity on Tender gets a free double
feature concert headlined by Sweety and Baby Tape. Okay, so

(34:02):
that's you know, spipe off.

Speaker 4 (34:04):
Makes sense to me, big business.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
I know you would actually be really good for one
of these dating apps. Why we should pick we should
pitch that because you're looking for love? Yeah, you earlier
till Dean when he said Happy Birthday to Rita and
he recently got engaged that you want that one, right.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
But I'm not sure I'm really looking.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
Though, Okay, if you want that, So I don't.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
Believe you look in. I just believe that things should
naturally happen.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
Isn't it the same thing as looking not.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
Just like the way Dan was just sitting there glowing.
He was just smiling. He just was like, oh my god, Rida,
happy birthday, everything. And I'm like, man, one day I
want to be standing there like that exactly.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
So you are looking, it's.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
Not looking saying I'm welcoming. Doors is open?

Speaker 4 (34:48):
Okay? What kind of doors are? They did go up?

Speaker 10 (34:50):
Or the.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
Hospital doors?

Speaker 4 (34:56):
Okay? All right?

Speaker 2 (35:01):
And Mariah Carey and Lee Daniels this was a Jasmine
Brand exclusive. They have started casting for her TV biopic
and they're looking for the perfect actress to play Mariah Carey.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
Man, that's a tough job, you know. They've been talking
about doing this.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Mariah Carey has publicly shared her interest in directing a
film based on her memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey.
And then Lee Daniels, who worked with her on Precious,
also was tapped to produce that TV adaptation of her book.
And so right now they're just looking for somebody. They said,
it's it's not necessarily just about the singing. They want

(35:39):
to make sure the girl has a similar look and
that the acting is there. Okay, Okay, I can see
that that would be good, and she can sing that's
where did you get Did you hear people say that
or you just thought about that?

Speaker 8 (35:52):
Right?

Speaker 2 (35:53):
A good one? Yeah, that would be cute, all right now.
Lee Daniels previously spoke about the project. He said he
think it's bigger than the film. There's so much to her.
It's an epic limited series and he said he thinks
it's as big as Aretha's story.

Speaker 4 (36:06):
I could see that. All right.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
Well, that is your yee t. And don't forget it
is a Friday. Not a lot of competition out today
because Drake for All the Dogs is out today.

Speaker 4 (36:16):
But we'll talk about that.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
And you know, we was already vibing out to his
collab with Sexy Red on the album. We've been playing
the Jay Cole song also. But let's talk about some
more things that are for All the Dogs. It's Way
Up with Angela Yee new music.

His Way Up with Angela Yee, I'm angela Ye, and
Meno is here Maino. Listen, Drake's album is out today.
Do you feel like, because there's not a lot of
new albums out today that some people are like, I'm
not even gonna bother because people pay attention to when
they put out an album around Drake, and sometimes people
push things back, like The Exorcist. That movie is out now,

(36:58):
by the way, I want to see that.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
So you know Tom Squid last night.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
And I think block they actually pushed that movie up
because of Taylor Swift's movie. I believe right she did.
She's doing like a movie for her concert.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
Oh okay, so they put that one out first.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Yeah, I think they wanted to push it up because
they didn't want to compete with that.

Speaker 4 (37:20):
I know.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
The movie came out yesterday for real, and they made
two point eight five million just in previews.

Speaker 4 (37:27):
Yeah wow. Yeah, so people are saying it's.

Speaker 3 (37:30):
I want to see it though, they're saying it's good, right, you.

Speaker 4 (37:32):
Know, something crazy.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
I actually that was the first horror movie I ever saw,
and I was super young.

Speaker 4 (37:39):
I watched it by myself in the basement.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
Was that the same lady from that? The old lady
in there is the same lady from the original extorsis right?

Speaker 2 (37:47):
She was young back then, yeap, And so yeah, she
was like a little girl. Remember her head was spinning around.
She threw up I remember that was the big deal.
She threw up and they told you the splund But
you know how much they pay for the rights for
that movie? That four hundred million dollars. Yeah, so that's

(38:07):
just for the rights. That's not even for filming it
or nothing like that. All right, so y'all please, they
got to make that money.

Speaker 4 (38:14):

not just as an artist, but also as an entrepreneur,
a business person, but somebody who also does things to
help other artists and other creatives. When did you realize
that was your passion.

Speaker 17 (40:26):
I never wanted to be an artist. I just wanted
to be an entrepreneur since I was like fifteen. But
I started doing parties in my school and I find
myself in the studio because it was fun, and people
start saying, yo, we love your music.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
The next thing I.

Speaker 17 (40:39):
Know, twenty fifteen or sixteen, Laurey Hill reaches out and says, oh,
they want me to come perform in Brooklyn King's theater,
even thought it was his calm. I remember like going
to the US Embassy and telling the guys at the
embassy and I'm like, there's this person that's saying there,
Lauree Hill, and I don't know if it's true. Please
help me check because I was thinking maybe it's some

(41:00):
human trafficking kind of thing or something.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
And they look it up and they're like, yeah, miss
Laurie Hill, just like wow, So.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
Yeah, a huge thing. I didn't know that it happened.

Speaker 17 (41:08):
Exactly, and I hadn't even decided to be an artist
at that time, and so that was my first time
in the US, playing at King's Theater. I had no
manager at the time. I just with a guitar coming
to play and it was so beautiful that Miss Lauren
Hill came backstage and it was so sorry when she
came to me and she's like, yeah, mister Easy, I've

(41:29):
been looking for you, and I was like, this is crazy.
And those were kind of the first moments when I
realized that, Okay, this is really like I'm legit. If
Miss Lauren He'll is saying.

Speaker 4 (41:40):
Yeah, I don't know too many people who have that story, you.

Speaker 17 (41:42):
Know, And from there just like been going since then,
since twenty sixteen.

Speaker 4 (41:48):
All right, right now, I'm talking to mister Easy.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
His album The Evil Genius comes out October twenty seven,
and this is our first true album because you've done
epies and mixtapes, and what makes this different.

Speaker 17 (42:00):
This is the most personal music I've made in my life.
Music for me has been like an escape from reality.
So vibes, you know, so I'll be singing about like
not stuff that's happened to me. But on this album,
it was the first time I realized that music could
be therapy to myself. And before I made this album,

(42:21):
I've never done therapy. I realized that things I was
saying on the records were things I didn't have to
even say to myself. Like on the first track, my
mom is on it. She's religious, she's Christian, and the
music I make is not Christian music. This is the
first time she's she actually puts her voice on my music.

Speaker 4 (42:43):
To get her to agree to do that.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
She didn't know.

Speaker 17 (42:45):
She sent me a voice note, so my mom sent
me no, no, she knows that.

Speaker 6 (42:54):
You know.

Speaker 17 (42:54):
My mom is the business woman, so I had to
make sure she loves me. But she's so you know,
she sent me a voice note. That's the voice notes
that plays in the beginning of the song and the
chorus of that song. It's a sample of one of
the most popular gospel choruses, like the ones you sing
in church. And so I put it there and when

(43:16):
she heard it, she's like, ah, you're now making gospel music.

Speaker 4 (43:20):
She loved it.

Speaker 17 (43:20):
She loved it, and it worked and she was she
she was so excited, and I said, yeah, but mommy,
you need to clear it so.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
You don't suit me.

Speaker 4 (43:28):
What do you mean, answer you?

Speaker 1 (43:29):
And we sent her the documentation.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
She's she could always somebody do her voice, you know, use.

Speaker 1 (43:39):
On every song. That's why this is different, and that's
why I'm calling it an album.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
And you're also getting married, yep, and so I'm sure
there's some personal songs.

Speaker 17 (43:47):
About your Relationships's like, there's three parts of the album.
The first one is like self reflection is bragging, and
then there's pan a Doll, which is cheeky. It is
talking about sex, and we go from there to the
relationship part. But it's not like fairy Tale the first song.
There's lack of communication and I'm usually the type to

(44:10):
be like a bit with you and I won't say
anything like I just be giving you.

Speaker 4 (44:14):
Decided that doesn't work marriage.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
You know, I'm a girl.

Speaker 17 (44:18):
That day, she gave me back what I've been giving
her and she wasn't even trying to do but upset
her so much. She didn't even she didn't want to
talk to me, and that just drove me so crazy.

Speaker 4 (44:29):
And I don't touch me.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
Yeah, she she didn't even say it to me.

Speaker 17 (44:32):
She's just like I could just feel it in the air,
and I went to the bathroom to shower, and I
was just thinking about about it, and I just got
my phone and I was like, lack of communication in
the course, probably like lack of communication is what causes problem.
And in the song, I'm saying, baby, if I've pissed
you off, let me know I don't like it when

(44:53):
you gave me the silent treatment. And from there, I
send it to Ekel is my producer, and he he
quickly sends me back my voice note on an instrumental,
and I go to Kel's house help p the producer
of that record, and we make the song. So it's
like real time from lack of communication to and affair

(45:15):
where I'm apologizing for not being present in the relationship
to good loving where I'm saying, you know, she she
just wants my love and affection, she wants my presence
to legalize, where I'm like, okay, let's get married. So
that's how personal it is.

Speaker 4 (45:33):
That's amazing.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
And you guys also have a podcast together, so I'm
sorry that helps you be able to open up too,
because now you're on a podcast talking about everyday thing
and communicating with each other but also letting the world here.

Speaker 3 (45:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (45:48):
I was really scared about the podcast when she said
during COVID we spend the most time together do I
was seeing her every day and it made me realize
how much I love her. And I don't like being
with people period, Like I like my space, she likes
her space, but we're able to be in the same space.
And she's like, oh, let's make it podcast, and I

(46:09):
was just thinking the whole world is going to start
hearing like how I'm speaking. But we've been doing it
at that pace once a year and it's been fun.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
Yeah, all right, mister Easy is here from Nigeria and
we have a lot more with him when we come back.
He's not just an artist, he's also an entrepreneur and
a visionary.

Speaker 4 (46:26):
It's way up at Angela Yee.

Speaker 16 (46:30):
Yeah, she back at it the way up with Angela
Yee is on.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
What's up is way up at Angela Yee and mister
Easy is here. What do you think about people who
are not African making afrobeats and afropappa? Is that still
considered afrobeats if it's say, you know, I know there's features,
but what if somebody that was from somewhere else.

Speaker 4 (46:51):
Is that still considered.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
That's a tough one. I've never thought about it.

Speaker 17 (46:54):
But I have seen like music from like Mexico, like
from Colombia, like from.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
Chile, where at least like I hear the beat.

Speaker 17 (47:03):
And I'm like, hey, what song is that? And then
it's AfroB but is in Spanish. And there's been some
that I'm like, oh, this specifically knows how.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
To write it.

Speaker 17 (47:14):
And then there's been like some I'm like, yeah, they
do if he gets the divide properly, you know. But
I think it speaks to the African self power that's
happening right now. And the first time I came into
the US, I was watching the TV and the first
thing I saw was like a baby with flies on
the face, And that was how a lot of people

(47:35):
were seeing Africa.

Speaker 4 (47:36):
But they used to say that all the time.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
You know, there's kids starving in Africa, like when you're young,
if you're not eating your food here, they used to say,
And then you're calling poverty point.

Speaker 17 (47:44):
Right now, you're experiencing Africa and not through those lenses.
You're experiencing the true art, and there's no judgment in art.
I feel like art should it should be respectful, but
art should build bridges, should connect people. And that's why
I like, I made the first afrobit like Latino song
with come Baby with backward Yes, you know, and for

(48:08):
a lot of people, that's the first time they were
hearing that sound. And I didn't even know how big
it was. We made a record in my bedroom in London.
The only thing I'd say is like, if you want
to actually make an aphrob record, you could reach out
to the producers, do it the right way. There's nothing
wrong with being inspired, But I challenge anyone to make

(48:29):
an aphrob record that they can play in a Legos
club and people still crying too.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
If you can't do that. But that's very hard to do.

Speaker 3 (48:39):
All right.

Speaker 4 (48:39):
Right now, I'm talking to mister Easy.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
His album The Evil Genius comes out October twenty seventh,
and I also want to talk about your investments in
the tech world.

Speaker 17 (48:47):
Yeah, so I have my phone it's called Zagada Capital, Okay,
And this was like me being boored of music, Like
after Coachella, I came down from the stage and I
felt nothing.

Speaker 4 (48:57):
Really, that's a huge deal of.

Speaker 17 (48:59):
Hers, yes, and it's like it was a sign I
would either have to quit music and go do something
else because that's not good.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
That's not a good feeling to have, or I need
to post.

Speaker 17 (49:10):
Maybe I was experiencing it burnout and when COVID hit,
I sort of got there. It was the first time
I passed and just trying to decide, okay, what would
be the next move. I had started in power, so
I was getting to understand the music business. But I've
started even listening to music. So how can you run
a music business without listening to music? So I just

(49:33):
had my team handle that, and I said, Okay, you know,
I've always wanted.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
To be an entrepreneur.

Speaker 17 (49:39):
Now the music has given me the access to people,
the access to capital, and I'm like, okay, I'm going
to go start my phone like jay Z, you know,
and what do I know about investing. I'm like, yeah,
we're going to figure it out. I knew nothing about you,
nothing about music. I ended up I could tell. I
ended up like selling out shows across that across the world, so,

(50:01):
you know, doing projects with Beyonce for somebody that never
wanted to be a musician.

Speaker 4 (50:06):
So I'm like, yeah, two songs, and yeah, two songs.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
I probably. I don't know if any other.

Speaker 17 (50:11):
Person had two songs, yeah, I don't think or how
many people had two songs on that project. And the
producer on those two songs were signed to publishing as well,
so it was it was a treat in house thing.
So at that time, I'm like, okay, I'm just gonna
go do entrepreneurship. And from twenty twenty to twenty twenty two,

(50:32):
I just like went in and so starting my fund,
invested in a payments company that's become one of the
biggest payment API companies in Africa.

Speaker 4 (50:43):
How do you just figure that out?

Speaker 1 (50:45):
You just do it. And when it's when you're using
your own money.

Speaker 17 (50:48):
If you fail, okay, you failed, then you cry or
you learn something wain and quickly I don't payment and
I was like, okay, I don't payment music technology invested
in Shoes. Shobes is the number one platform for buying
APROB tickets in the UK.

Speaker 4 (51:08):
You know what I'm like, Ye, it's all tied together because.

Speaker 17 (51:11):
Its all ties together, you know, and true that investment.
When Shoes wants to collect payments in Africa, they could
they could collect payments via my payments companies.

Speaker 1 (51:20):
So I invest in.

Speaker 17 (51:22):
Stuff that talk about three six connects, you know, and
now I'm investing in. I'm investing in like movies in
the movies will be from the music label. And so
I'm just learning to be honest.

Speaker 4 (51:34):
All right, Well, I love it.

Speaker 5 (51:35):
Well.

Speaker 2 (51:35):
The Evil Genius album is October twenty seventh, your first
official album. Definitely not your first project and the most
personal one. So I cannot wait to hear this. And
I appreciate us being able to sit down and I
know we'll be checking back in with you. But again,
mister easy, and when we come back, we have asked
ye any.

Speaker 4 (51:53):
Questions that you have.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
We are here to help with my award winning advice
give a.

Speaker 4 (51:56):
Friend, no man Now. It's where you're putting into.

Speaker 5 (51:59):

Speaker 4 (52:03):
Angela's dropping facts, what's up? Its way up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
I'm Angela Yee and new man now is in the
building on a Friday, and it's time for asking.

Speaker 4 (52:14):
That's where you get.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
To call in and ask for advice, and we give
advice best to the best of our ability with our life, seris.
But you are an award winning advice giver, Denise, what
is your question for ask ye, I've.

Speaker 11 (52:26):
Been betting this guy for a few months. He's been out,
he's done had a pleasing about four five months ago,
and so we've been dating and he doesn't really like
night to have sex.

Speaker 4 (52:39):
How long was he locked up? Three years? Three years? Okay,
so go ahead.

Speaker 11 (52:43):
I'm kind of wondering, like, okay, like if if he
had to say to someone.

Speaker 6 (52:48):
Else, or if he just not.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
Have gotten back in the moves of things.

Speaker 11 (52:52):
Or and we live together, so it's kind of hard
for me to do, like turn it off.

Speaker 4 (52:58):
Does he have like a rectile function? Does he have
you guys had sex?

Speaker 11 (53:02):
Yeah, we either thinks that's not often, as I wanted.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
How much time do you guys spend together? Do you
see him alive? Do you think he's seeing other people?

Speaker 11 (53:11):
We've lived together, so, oh, we see each other often,
and I mean, here's verlass with the boys and certain times,
so I don't even know.

Speaker 2 (53:21):
Now I want to talk about this because sometimes mentally
there's a lot of things that go on with people
where maybe that can affect their sex drive too. So
I don't know if he's been through anything traumatic, you know,
Jill can be traumatic too, by the way.

Speaker 11 (53:35):
Right, Yeah, that's what I That's what I was thinking.
And that was his first time ever doing sometime like that,
so I.

Speaker 6 (53:41):
Didn't want to see.

Speaker 11 (53:42):
I didn't want to think he's seen. But I'm like, okay,
I don't.

Speaker 7 (53:44):
Know, Well, did you have a thing about bringing another
woman into the bedroom?

Speaker 3 (53:53):
This is for this.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
You know, sometimes people have issues that they may be
not ready to talk about or even embarrassed to talk
about with their significant other, and maybe he needs to
talk to a professional, whether it's a doctor or a therapist,
just to kind of figure out what's going on with him,
because it could be for a variety of different reasons,
and it's hard for us to say what that reason is.

(54:17):
You know, we don't know if there's medical reasons that
he has a low sex drive, or if there's something
going on where he's been through something that it's affecting
his sex drive, you know, and we don't know if
it has to do with attraction. I don't know what
it is from this point of view. But all you
can do is help him get pointed in the right direction,

(54:39):
whether you know it's going to get a check up,
going to the doctor, being able to have that conversation
with the doctor or talking to another professional who can
help him kind of open up and explore what's going
on with him until he feels ready to share that
with you, right.

Speaker 11 (54:53):
Okay, okay, because I'd be trying to start sometimes thinking like, okay, I.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
Can't care of him financially at all, or like you know,
is he's staying with you and you're taking care of
things we live.

Speaker 11 (55:07):
Together, but I'm not supporting him, like if I know
that he's working and.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
Everything, okay, because I just want to make sure you're
not trying to just have a place to stay and
somebody to take care of. Yeah, all of those things
are things we have to take into consideration.

Speaker 11 (55:21):
Right, Yeah, you're saying, you.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
Know, so be realistic also with yourself if there's certain
signs there that there's something else going on, you know,
I know sometimes we want to get people the benefit
of the doubt and believe the best, but you also
got to look out for yourself and be realistic, right, true, Okay, okay,
and we'll get to the bottom of this. It could
be good intentions, it could be bad intentions, but just

(55:43):
make sure you have your eyes open and.

Speaker 4 (55:45):
Listen to your gut. M always what is your gut
telling you?

Speaker 10 (55:49):
I don't know, really.

Speaker 11 (55:51):
Sometimes I think he's doing stuff, and then sometimes I
think he just havn't adjusted yet.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
Okay, well I think time will out and all you
can do is tell him. Look, I'm here for you
if you want to talk about things, if you need
to speak to somebody, I've done some research. I have
this person. You know, we can set that up. But
other than that, just make sure you stay smart.
