Speaker 1 (00:01):
If you are now and what I call her?

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Ye, Yes, it is way up with Angela Yee. I'm
Angela Yee and Maino is here New Mayna.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Good morning.

Speaker 4 (00:18):
It's fight at the thirteenth.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
It is. Yeah, it's a spooky.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
And there's a lot going on in New York City.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
I got a bunch of calls yesterday from people who
were like, listen, get out of the city.

Speaker 4 (00:28):
If you don't have to be in Manhattan, don't you know.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
According to the NYPD, there are no credible threats, but
security has been heightened. It is supposed to be a
day of protest today a school some schools are even
closed today.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
By the way, I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, I saw that some of the schools just for
safety purposes are closed. Schools across the city are getting
extra patrols and resources as law enforcement is mobilizing. And
this is all because one of the guys who led
Hamas until twenty seventeen, the terrorist group responsible for the
attacks in Israel, called for mass protests around the world.

(01:10):
In a recorded statement that was sent to Ruters, he said,
we must head to the squares and streets of the
Arab and Islamic world on Friday. So the NYPD counter
Terrorism Unit has the city covered. They're monitoring online chatter
about upcoming protests, and so they're concerned about potential violent.

Speaker 5 (01:28):
Actions, right, So they think it might go even further
than just protests.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Right, I mean, I think you just have to be
for everything on guard today. So ready, man, Yeah, if
you don't have to travel, you don't have to go
to certain places, don't just putting that out there.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yeah, I'm just letting them know I'm ready.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
So because when you've experienced certain things like nine to
eleven was a crazy time here. It was horrific, and
so it makes you just be like, all right, I
remember one time they bombed the subway. There was all
of that, So you just don't know what's going to happen.
All right, Well, today Billy Porter is going to be
joining us. You know him from Poe's. He has Emmy

(02:08):
a Grammy, he has Emmy's Grammys, Tony's. He's still waiting
to get his oscar. But I feel like it's going
to happen. So he'll be joining us today, and of
course we are gonna shine a light. Eight hundred nine
fifty fifty is a number colors let us know who
you want to shine a light on his way up
with Angela Yee.

Speaker 6 (02:25):
Gonna light up ah, turn your lights on y'all, spreading
love to those who are doing greatness.

Speaker 7 (02:33):
Shine a light on them, shine a light on him.
It's time to shine a light on them.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yes, it is way up at Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee.
And Maya is in the building you mine. I'm always shining.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
A light on you. May No, you shining today.

Speaker 5 (02:47):
Mom, Baby, I gotta shine because they come in to attack.
I got to be shined up.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
It is a little nerve wracking, and it's so sad
when you watch everything on the news and you see
what's happening. I've been yeah, but I want to shine
a light today on nephiw Walker.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
Nephie is actually y'all know.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
I've had a lot of drama with this house, this
brownstone I purchased in Brooklyn. But she's been really helpful
as far as like getting me everything together with this
lighting plan, trying to make sure that I am The
thing about her house is you could end up having
a money pit if you're doing things and then it's
not done the right way, and now you've got to

(03:27):
go back and redo it. You know, people are not
giving you the right cost because contractors will charging more
for things subcontractors. So she's been really great because this
is what she does. She's an interior designer at making
sure that I am not overpaying for things, shopping around
getting me the best deals. Definitely well worth it to
hire somebody that can make sure that you're not going

(03:50):
to have to keep on going back in and redoing
things and messing up, because I've had some bad experiences
contractors they double up. It's important to shop around and
make sure that if you know anybody that has a
better knowledge of things than you do, bring them in.
And it's worth it paying somebody because it can save
you so much more money in the long run. It's fun,

(04:12):
you know, for anybody who's interested in the real estate business.
And now it's time for you guys to shine a
light Samantha, how are you?

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Eight hundred two ninety fifty one fifty is the number.
Just in case you couldn't get through. You could still
leave a message. And when we come back, we have yet.
Let's talk about Jada Pickett smith Man. Her book is
coming out October seventeenth, and she is still dropping all
kinds of stories we did not know about. We'll tell
you what you have to say about TUPAC and proposals.
All right, it's way up at Angela yee et.

Speaker 11 (06:31):
Next, please proof in the rooms from industry shade to
all of gossip out Angela's feeling that EyeT.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
It's way up at Angela yee. I'm Angela yee And
Jermaine is here aka right, new version. All right, and
let's get into some eat Jada Pickett Smith. I mean,
she is really doing the rounds for her new book
that's coming out October seventeenth. It's called Worthy. She was
on rolling out, and now the new thing is her
talking about Tupac and about him being her soulmate.

Speaker 12 (07:02):
Of soulmate, definitely.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
I don't think if there.

Speaker 5 (07:06):
Is such a thing as past lives.

Speaker 12 (07:08):
Definitely think Pac and I have traveled a few together,
you know, in various forms.

Speaker 11 (07:14):
So has there ever been a time that you regretted
the decision that you made not to take it to
that level with him and to keep it in the
friendship space.

Speaker 9 (07:23):
It just wasn't possible.

Speaker 12 (07:24):
There was no chemistry between us, you know, I talk
about it in the.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Book, all right, So it was this book about Tupac.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
No, it's about It's her memoir, so that was part
of it, right.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
So she's never said this before.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
I think she had said that there was no chemistry.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
You remember, they were always really good friends, and so
that's something that people knew. And Will Smith was intimidated,
as he had said previously, by the fact that she
had such a great relationship with Tupac.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
You know, she's given us the blueprint on how to
market a book though, just come out with some stories.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
Well.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
She also was on All the Smoke, and she said
that Tupac actually proposed to.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
Her when he asked me to get married.

Speaker 12 (08:07):
He was at Rikers, and I knew at that time
that A he needed somebody to do time with him,
which I was gonna do anyway, because I promise you
he would have married me and divorced me. And even
before Park went to jail, he was starting to trent.
He was starting to shift good. And I think that

(08:28):
for him, he just felt like, Okay, if I can
tether myself, it'll keep me on a trajectory.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
See another story you didn't know? Did you know she
also used to sell drugs?

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Who sold drugs?

Speaker 4 (08:41):
Jada Pinkett Smith?

Speaker 3 (08:42):
I didn't notice.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
She's also on the cover of People magazine and she
is talking about how she herself got caught up in
the mix of the drug epidemic in Baltimore. And she
also said during the interview that she decided to sell
crack cocaine.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
She's promoting this book. I like this, okay, I like
where this is going. I mean, this is giving me
a blueprint. I know how to sell my memoir. Now,
I got a lot of stories. I know you do,
woo man.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, yes, a lot of different things that but comes
out again on the seventeenth.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
I know a lot of you are now like we
got to read this book.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
Yeah, right, all.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Right now, since we're talking about relations and by the way,
people were definitely feeling bad for Will Smith yesterday right.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
To find out that they was broke up for broken
up since twenty sixteen.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
Right, but they're not getting divorced at all.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
And then now all these other stories are coming out,
some people are feeling like this is disrespectful to her marriage.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
I knew, I knew something.

Speaker 5 (09:42):
I knew Will had basically let the whole thing was
our seen her. I knew that Will kind of stamped
that though for somebody.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
But yeah, August said that he said that he met
Will Smith. Will Smith was like, all right, shook his hand, fine.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Young man. They was all in the same house too,
going on this.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
I don't think they live together, and so August even
earlier on was saying, they just have an agreement. They're
not even in a traditional marriage relationship.

Speaker 10 (10:11):
You know what.

Speaker 5 (10:11):
I don't think nothing wrong with that though, if because
once you get married You're supposed to be married for
the rest of your life, right, so if you can't,
if you're not attracted to your wife no more, you're
not attracted to you, then y'all can be life partners
and they can do whatever they want to do.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
But y'all still stay married.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
But if you want to marry someone else.

Speaker 5 (10:28):
I don't think that they want to marry somebody. I
think that they've got the family unit and I think
they have an understanding.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
And this is and I don't know what people be doing.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
But let's talk about Genie Mai because you know she's
getting divorced from Jeezi and she was on Sherry's show,
and here's what you have to say about.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
What's going on with her and her well being.

Speaker 8 (10:47):
You know, I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 9 (10:48):
You know.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
It takes every day to just really sit and just
be quiet in your thoughts, take care of me.

Speaker 12 (10:54):
But one thing I know is you give God your pain,
he will give you his power.

Speaker 8 (11:00):
I'm like, here you go, you got room for more,
here some more.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
You just taking it day by day.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
You know that she had also posted as we said yesterday,
sometimes you need to take a break and disconnect to
heal and so Jesu has been pretty quiet. You know,
he's very private, and so this is her job. She's
you know, hosted the reel, and so her being open
about what's going on in her life maybe that's part
of her healing process as well. But it looks like

(11:26):
they're not going the route of Will and Jada.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah, she don't have a tulle all neither.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
All right, well, that is your yut. And when we
come back, we have about last night. That's where we
discussed what we did last night. I was all over
the place yesterday handling business. I eventually had to be like,
all right, this is enough.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Did you get on it?

Speaker 4 (11:43):
I did not.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
Were you on a panel?

Speaker 4 (11:46):
Actually I was.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
I was on a panel yesterday. All right, it's the
way up at Angela about last night?

Speaker 4 (11:51):

Speaker 7 (11:54):
So about last night?

Speaker 11 (11:56):

Speaker 1 (11:57):

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Went down, yes his way up with Angela Yee Angela
yee Mana was here, good morning, and we are talking
about last night and what we did last night and Mayna.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
What you do yesterday?

Speaker 3 (12:10):
I was in the city moving around. Was my first
day back out. I had a meeting.

Speaker 5 (12:14):
Shout out to my guy old stats play some music
for my group Sta Babies, and yeah, making things happen
running around sty Babies.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
You were playing us some music too, It sounds really good.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
Yes, yes, yes, indeed.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
All right.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Well, yesterday we're getting ready for the New York City
Wine and Food Festival, and so we actually had an
event and the event was at the Shopify pop up
that where I have my coffee shop and soho and
so me and Chef Jen actually hosted it.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
Chef Jen is the chef for my coffee shop.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Coffee up lists people because we have food there also,
and one of the things that we talked about it
was a chef meet and greet, So some of the
chefs who are going to be at the Wine and
Food Festival were there and we had a whole conversation.
One of the questions from the audience was what is
your go to dish right that you're known for? And
then I started thinking about what are the things that

(13:06):
I can make And we had a conversation here like
when it comes to my go to dish because I
don't cook a lot. I was telling you during the pandemic,
I was cooking all the time because I was home.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
But now I don't cook so much.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
So I used to say stir fry was my go
to dish because I love cooking in a walk, so
I can just throw whatever vegetables I like and season
it how I want. And then I was saying, of course, tacos.
I think that everybody's go to dish. That's an easy
thing to be able to make tacos. Then I was
asking you if you cook.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
Yeah, and I'm not really I'm not really good at that.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
But then we started talking about things that you could
make in jail, absolutely jail man and people, and I've
heard people tell me that, yes, And so then you
started talking about all that, because in my head that
means like you crush up some cheese and some ramen noodles.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
It's not that simple.

Speaker 5 (14:00):
I'm talking about girl man, I'm talking about rice with
the cola Mari with the octopus with the beans. I'm
talking about season to another level. I'm talking about fried Jackman. Hey, listen,
hustle hal gotty. If anybody knows, hustle, halt gotty, load up.
We're doing a jail mill. And it's been times when
we did a jail meal on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
Okay, and so tell me, like what is really good.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
I mean we would have the other stuff.

Speaker 5 (14:23):
We would do it at my house, like the yams
and the turkey and all that, but then we would
have like the rice with the jail. Uh, you know,
feel like we would cook it the same way we
cook it in jail.

Speaker 4 (14:34):
I need a recipe, like I need you to tell you.

Speaker 5 (14:38):
I want you to taste it. I really want you
to taste it because I guarantee you. I guarantee you
gonna love it.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
You know, I'm a very picky eater.

Speaker 5 (14:47):
It's like it's like it's like a Spanish rice pire
with octopus and the rice clams and the rice cala Marie,
and I not frying a COLUMLAMI we're putting it in the.

Speaker 4 (14:59):
Rice, putting the calamary in the rice. Okay, I don't.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
I know it's going to be tough. Then you also
said you were making apple pies, not just me.

Speaker 5 (15:08):
But I wasn't the Jeff because I always always always
connected to somebody like listen, I'm gonna send you everything
you need and you're running back to me right. So
in the box, they would cook pies like we get all,
you know, like two two bags of bread and take
the ends off, ball it off and make dough out
of it. Take the fruit from your dessert or your apples,

(15:31):
chop them up, take some sugar and all wady and
make apple pis.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Okay, all right, all right, so maybe we'll do something
like this because I want to see what something because
you swear that you said.

Speaker 4 (15:41):
There's one dish that you've never had anything better than.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
It was.

Speaker 5 (15:46):
Like what I'm telling you, it's like a pie. That's
the only thing that I could really compare it to.
But it's better, season better, it tastes better. Listen, when
you're in prison, you do what you gotta do.

Speaker 4 (15:59):
This should be part of the New York City Wining
Food Fest.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
We don't do jail mail. Maybe this weekend.

Speaker 4 (16:04):

right now because I just want to do it myself.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
All right.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
We shout out to Megan n'estellia. When I first met her,
she was coming into town to sign her first deal
with her mom. Yeah, and that's when I first met
her and and had her on lip service too, and
so it was super early.

Speaker 4 (24:19):
In her career. Her mom was there, her mom was
chiming in on an episode and everything.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Oh wow, yeah, well that is your yeet And 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
ye news.

Speaker 7 (24:34):
This in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
All right, it's way up with Angela Yee, I'm Angela
ye Mano is here.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
Rick Flair was in the building. That's why he keeps going.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Well, you know, Bolux wind, Pinky Ring, Diamond ring when.

Speaker 10 (24:52):
Diamond.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
All right, now, let's get into some under the radar stories.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Let's start off with a woman, Jordan La Mattina from Titusville, Florida.
She is clearing a tattoo artist name because she got
a tattoo. It was supposed to say everything's fine. Instead
it said everything's fine, but it was her mistake. She
actually wrote it out wrong and he just did the
tattoo that she wanted and it was misspelled, and so

(25:17):
the original clip was shared last month. It has over
nine million views and she's actually laughing hysterically about it
because the irony of wanting a tattoo this is everything's fine,
But then it says everything is actually funny.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
And it's everything that's funny because everything is not fine.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
I've had I've had tattoo allists mess.

Speaker 4 (25:36):
Up on me though, like spell misspellings.

Speaker 5 (25:39):
Wrong picture. I know the true story, like my mother passed.
I wanted to picture of my mother. And this is
when I realized that you can't go to every person
for a portrait. Portrait, y'all specific. So he did a
portrait of my mother on my leg and when he finished,
I said, who was it? He said, that's your mom?

(26:02):
I said that ain't that Ain't that's somebody else?

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Mother.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
I don't know. Maybe it's your aunt. I don't. I
don't know who it is.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
Man, So what'd you do?

Speaker 5 (26:11):
I wasn't really he really cried tis like he's really
he was really destroyed about it because he felt like
it meant so much to me. It was my mom's
and it did right. But at the end of the day,
I got so many tattoos. I understand the risks that
we take. I said, bro, this is the risk that
we take. Don't don't take it that way.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
You just got to fix it.

Speaker 5 (26:30):
We're gonna turn it into something else. So I had
to go to another tattoo artists who specified in portraits
and get a portrait.

Speaker 4 (26:39):
That's good advice for anybody out there getting your tattoo.
It happens, though, all right, and it wasn't on purpose.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
Yeah, So she's wanted to make sure that people aren't
mad at the tattoo artists for ironically misspelling everything's fine
to be ever things fine, all right. Now, let's talk
about a drink that could improve your sex life. According
to doctors may not pay attention, if you drink coffee
before sex, it intensifies your orgasm by fifty percent. One

(27:08):
woman actually pours hisself three shots of espresso and says
that caffeine does the trick for her. Now, doctor Rods explains,
in low doses, caffeine has a vasco constrictor effect it
narrows blood vessels, but in higher doses it has a
vaso dilator effect, which means that it widens your blood
vessels and improves your blood flow, and then your blood

(27:29):
can flow to your genitals, which affects your orgasms and arousal.

Speaker 4 (27:32):
So that would explain why you might want to dry
some coffee made up for the first time.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
We still haven't tasted coffee. We got to get this
thing now.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
I know you definitely want to do it, but that's
why when people have a headache, also, coffee can help.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
With that, right, weffee helps with headaches, Yes.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
It does.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
The caffeine in that all right, t mobile I saw
that was trending, and T Mobile has switched users to
price your plans and told them they're not raising the price.
They said, We're just moving you to a newer plan.
With me, I'm saying, it's all about how you say it.
It's not a price like it's just a different plan
that costs more. That's g So that's what customer service

(28:08):
reps are being trained to tell users. There's actually leaked
documents it says instead of saying the price is going up,
they say, we're not raising the price of any of
our plans. We are moving you to a newer plan
with more benefits at a difference that plan.

Speaker 4 (28:23):
That's the talking point.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
All right, I want the same old plan that you have.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
I want to stick with the plan that I already yeah,
was in. All right, So yeah, I don't know how
they I guess it's all about how you say it.
When it comes to certain things in life, it's not
what it is, it's how you say it. It's how
you present it. And that is your under the radar.
You know, it is a Friday, So we got a party.
We got the way up mixed coming at the top
of the hour, plus Billy Porter is going to be

(28:48):
joining us now, you know, with the whole actor strike
going on, there's a lot of things he's not able
to discuss. I think he has a new movie that's out.
He's also from Poe's. He's also one Emmy Grammy's Tony's.
The only thing he doesn't have right now is an
oscar and I feel like that's on the way. But
he does have new music out. He has a new
single that's out today called Children, and then he has

(29:09):
a new album coming next month. It's called Black Mona Lisa,
And he's been on tour and he's gonna go on
another tour. But the iconic Billy Porter is going to
be joining us. It's way up with Angela yee, way
up mix at the top of the hour.

Speaker 7 (29:22):
But let's get it.

Speaker 6 (29:23):
Oh yeah, Angelus feeling that ye tea, come and get
the tea.

Speaker 12 (29:27):
Right, My wife's name out of your mouth right, And
I'm like, but now I'm really worried for Will because
I don't know what's going on all right.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
See, she wasn't used to him even calling her his wife.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
This is crazy.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
But her book Worthy is coming out on Tuesday, and
I feel like all these interview that all these interviews
she's been doing definitely has the people talking. We've learned
they've been separated since twenty sixteen. We learned that Tupac
proposed to her while he was in Rikers the you know,
lifelong I guess kind of like so made, but she
said there's no attraction to each other.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
But anyway, I'm sure when you watch this full sit
down and Hoda Kope said she read her entire book
from cover to cover, I'm sure we're going to learn
a whole lot more. All Right, here's something else that
we learned. Birdman is talking about a missed opportunity. He
actually revealed that he tried to bring the cash Money

(30:25):
deal to Jay Prince before doing that thirty million dollar
deal with Universal.

Speaker 4 (30:30):
Wow, here's what he had to say.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
What's her relationship like with Jake cris.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
Of respect Oldhead? And I learned it life from him.

Speaker 7 (30:37):
He taught me so much early on in the game.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
I tried to sign with the old Man before I
went to Universal.

Speaker 4 (30:44):
All Right, Clubhouse is still going strong. Birdman told this
story on Clubhouse.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
I haven't been on Clubhouse absolutely, not since the pandemic.
So I remember I heard did some big thing on Clubhouse.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
I was on there, but.

Speaker 5 (30:56):
People thought clubhouses won't be a thing. Then it just
turned into a place with just dudes just go there
and talk about other dudes.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
Oh my gosh. Okay, I don't know what goes on it.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
I know they had like whole breakout rooms about finance
and cryptocurrency.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
Yeah, that's not as popping as the gospel on other people.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
All right, And it is the fiftieth anniversary of hip
hop and Amazon is going to be live streaming concert
Wu Tang Clan Nas and day La Soul. That's a
good one, and so that's going to be fun for
people to be able to listen to as it's live streaming.
Kind of like you're there. I love all of those
Wu Tang Clan Nas and day La Soul.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
Good times.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
Just met day Soul recently.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
You did, Okay, past is my guy Pasta News? Yeah,
that's actually I've known him since I was in college.
You want to hear something random, you know, everybody. I
actually sang on a song on a day Last Soul album.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
Really, where's the song at?

Speaker 6 (31:53):
It was so bad?

Speaker 4 (31:54):
So the purpose of it was they wanted it was not.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
It was me and a couple of my friends, and
they wanted us to like do this hook, but they
didn't want a real singer. They wanted it to just
so and they didn't know how bad it was going
to be. But yeah, I think that's that's a pretty
fun story.

Speaker 4 (32:10):
Yeah I did. You can't really three of us singing
on it.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
So your kid, what were you saying?

Speaker 2 (32:16):
I do remember, I'm not going to do it now,
but we'll talk about that in a later time by
my book, you know, as Jada Pinkett Smith was saying.

Speaker 4 (32:23):
And Drake has submitted her loss for the Grammys.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
So for a few years he has not been submitting
his projects for consideration, but now he is submitting that
that's his collaborative album with twenty one Savage. He wants
that considered four Album of the Year and Best Rap Album.
He also submitted rich Flex and spin Boutu for a
Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Rap Performance,
Best Rap Song, and Best Melodic Rap Performance. All right,

(32:49):
so if you recall, he wasn't doing it and people
don't know that you actually have to submit, Yeah, in
order for you to be considered to even be nominated
for any of those awards, and Ice Bice has come
firm that she is in a relationship. She is dating somebody,
but she wants fans to focus on her music and
she wants to keep her love life private and keep
on doing that all right, And a lot of people

(33:10):
have been trying to holler at her, So no idea
where we ended up? Okay, and that is your yeete.
Now when we come back, it's a Friday, so we
got to talk about new music that is out today.
Of course, Billy Porter is going to be joining us
shortly as well. He has a new single out today
called Children. But we'll tell you what else is available
because we love the weekend just for that reason. New

(33:31):
music is way up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 7 (33:35):
You ride a way up with Angela ye.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
What's up this way up at Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee.
And Jasmine from the Jasmine brand dot Com is here
and we have a true legend in the building. Okay,
Oh my gosh, I'm so excited Billy Porter is here.

Speaker 14 (33:51):
Hi.

Speaker 4 (33:53):
You know what we gotta do what we.

Speaker 12 (33:55):
Have to do.

Speaker 4 (33:55):
We gotta let these children know what time.

Speaker 7 (34:00):
Yes, yes, I love it.

Speaker 4 (34:05):
Listen we are so excited.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
First of all, we got a little sneak preview of
the album and events and when I tell you we
have been in here jamming because it is a fun album.

Speaker 14 (34:14):
Oh thank you so much. I'm so excited about it.
You know, I've been in this business for a really
long time. My first album, mainstream R and B album,
came out in nineteen ninety seven.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
It was a way different look too. It was a
way different lookdo.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
Right, and the business was very homophobic, and you know,
it just wasn't my time.

Speaker 14 (34:34):
And what I love about what has been able to
happen in the twenty seven years since is that I've
been able to actually find out who I am, choose myself,
and then use that authenticity to move forward.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
And the world also has cracked open in a different
way to receive me.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
And there's listen, a lot of wins, you know, but
then there's some things that you're like, what central is this?

Speaker 1 (35:00):
And what yes?

Speaker 4 (35:01):
You know time?

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Because I saw you in Florida just talking about the
backwards movement of LGBTQIA plus rights and I think that
is a shame, like to see the history being a race,
books being banned.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
Trying to be.

Speaker 14 (35:17):
And if there's one thing that I can say about it,
you know, I met John Lewis. I had the pleasure
of a gift of meeting John Lewis before he passed.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
And the one thing that he always said, never give up, hope,
never give up, and never given.

Speaker 14 (35:36):
You know, and that resonates with me because what we
have to remind the masses is that the change has
already happened. The reason for the pushback is because the
change has already happened, y'all.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
That's why the pushback is so severe.

Speaker 14 (35:53):
We ain't talking about that positive part of it, right, so,
you know, but I've lived in I'm sitting here in
front of you.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
I was dismissed from the world in the nineties being
black and clear. There was no space for me. Right.
The news cycles create a space where it's all for profit.
So if it bleeds, it leads. Yeah, so nobody's talking
about the positive stuff.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Yeah, you're right about that. Right now, Jasmine Brand is
here and we're talking to Billy Porter. Was there a
moment where you feel like you saw us a shift
in terms of acceptance and the community, was there?

Speaker 4 (36:26):
I know, there's not one thing.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Yeah, the evolution has been so incremental.

Speaker 14 (36:32):
But for me, I came out in nineteen eighty five,
so there's been incremental wins since nineteen eighty five. And
all of a sudden, you're like, oh, marriage equality, Oh
I can be the black queen that I am, and
y'all now it's my superpart. Like I said, I'm so
grateful to have lived long enough. It's like you just
keep putting one foot in front of the other and

(36:52):
one day.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
You're like, oh, listen, you could have never told me
there would be a time when it was fashionable for
men to wear a dres no matter what they identify
as correct. And now we see guys coming out and
you're welcome world, You're welcome world. Yeah, so many things
that and look, people still have an issue with it. Yeah,
but there's people that you know, that's their issue, right.

Speaker 14 (37:17):
I took myself out of the masculinity game a couple
of decades ago.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
Clothes don't have gender.

Speaker 14 (37:24):
I don't understand why me having on something that's considered
feminine triggers other people so much.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
What does it have to do with you, Like, I
don't understand the conversation.

Speaker 4 (37:35):
Actually, does it bother you.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Why does it bother you? Why does doing me bother you?

Speaker 14 (37:40):
Like, that's the whole conversation. Respect my humanity just as
I respect everybody's.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
I don't care who you are. I don't like a
lot of types of I don't like a lot of
types of people.

Speaker 14 (37:53):
But I'm not spending my time and my energy trying
to take those people's rights away.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
Right, We coexist and.

Speaker 4 (38:00):
Those outfits be amazing. I was thinking what he was saying,
why is it bother you? Maybe because you look better?

Speaker 10 (38:09):
I want.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
You like I want this leg this right leg right there,
I can take this right legay?

Speaker 12 (38:16):
Why are you here looking like this and I'm looking
like I'm righteous?

Speaker 2 (38:21):
When you were young, did you have support? Was there
anybody you felt like you could confide in?

Speaker 1 (38:26):
My art was my confidant. You know.

Speaker 14 (38:29):
I have a book out I talk about it Unprotected.
It's a memoir. The title, it's all in the title.
I was completely unprotected.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
My family loved me. It wasn't that. But my queerness.
You're born this way, and my queerness.

Speaker 14 (38:44):
Was very evident, and that was difficult growing up in
the Pentecostal church. Yes, growing up in the world as
it was coming out at fifteen, and then there was
the age crisis right there. You know, there was a
lot of trauma and my comfort was my heart and
I'm so grateful to have understood that so early. And

(39:06):
I knew that my singing voice, my talent, was my protector,
it was my weapon. It was everything to me, my identity,
it was everything, and.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
It saved me.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
Billy Porter's in the building. He's got a new album
coming out next month. But he also has a new.

Speaker 4 (39:22):
Single out today called Children.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
You guys are gonna love it. We got more with
him when we come back. It's way up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 7 (39:32):
You've rid the way up with Angela Ye.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
What's up?

Speaker 4 (39:35):
It's way up with Angela Ye. I'm Angela Yee.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Jasmine Brand is here and we have the iconic, almost
an egot winner, Billy Porter here. I feel like things
aligned for you also, because there's a lot of chaos
right now when it comes to acting and for writing
to but you have so many talents, yeah, that I
feel like you'll always have some type of avenue when
this is a strike going on here, at least you

(39:59):
know there's other things that you can, you know, focus.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
It's a gift. It really is a blessing, and it's
really a gift.

Speaker 14 (40:06):
And I remember early I'm gonna throw a name out
Sandy Gallant, Huge, huge manager back in the day, Michael Jackson,
barble Stride.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
I said, you know that kind of mad, that's cute.

Speaker 14 (40:16):
And in the early nineties, when I was doing my
first music, I met with him and he was thinking
about producing me.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
And he said to me, you have to make a choice.
You have to do one thing. You can't do all
the things that you do. Nobody's gonna understand you. You
have to make it.

Speaker 14 (40:30):
And I said, and he was, you know, in his
seventies at the time, and I said, with all due respect,
I understand what you're saying, and I have to respectfully
school you.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
I'm a black gay man in America. I didn't use
gay man. I used the F word, okay, And.

Speaker 14 (40:46):
I said it on purpose, because the homophobia is violent, right,
That F word is violent.

Speaker 1 (40:54):
That's what it felt like.

Speaker 14 (40:55):
And I said, Unfortunately, if I only focus on one
thing and that one thing doesn't work.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
Out, I am a ss out.

Speaker 14 (41:05):
So I have to keep going through the doors that
are open for me at any given time and kicking
the other ones down simultaneously.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
And so all these years later, this is like thirty
plus years later.

Speaker 14 (41:18):
I'm so glad I've trusted and believed in myself because
all the doors have cracked open at the.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Same time and they're all happened. You know, it's I
just I mean, you see how giddy I am. I
just can't even believe it.

Speaker 4 (41:32):
You're intense.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
We love it, Yeah, we love it.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
It's great.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
Want to ward away from an egot? Is that something
that you really think about, like, because you're gonna.

Speaker 4 (41:42):
Make it happen. But here's the deal, Okay, I can't.

Speaker 14 (41:47):
Not think about it because everybody else in the world,
we keep asking you about it, keep asking me.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
Yes, here's the deal. I learned really early. I went
to Cardige Mellen University for Acting.

Speaker 4 (41:58):
Not an easy school to get into.

Speaker 14 (42:00):
I'm one of the greatest in the world, and they
taught us with as stressful as that place was and
problematic at that time, that it was. The thing that
they taught us was the difference in living your life
as an artist.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
Or wanting to be some sort of superstar. Those are
two different things. Yes, some of the time the two intersect. Yeah,
But like I learned that the art is the point.
You do the art because you're called to do it.

Speaker 14 (42:27):
Sometimes the byproduct of what we do is all this
fabulous stuff, all these wars and others.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
So it's a byproduct and it's like it doesn't matter
and it matters.

Speaker 14 (42:39):
It's like the Internet, right, I guess it's like it's
like social media. It's like it doesn't mean anything and
it means everything at the same time.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Well, we appreciate you so much for coming through. I'm
excited because that comes out in November seventeen. Yes, it does,
and so I think that once it's out, people need to, like,
you know, because we've.

Speaker 4 (42:55):
Had the pleasure of hearing it, we need to sing along.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
And it's entire and it's called Black Mona Lisaan Lissa,
and we love you too.

Speaker 4 (43:01):
Billy Porter, thank you so much for coming up here.

I do feel like with this album, people are gonna

Speaker 4 (43:12):
Thank you so much to Billy Porter for joining us.

Speaker 4 (43:19):
When we come back, we have asked ye.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
I'm here with the award winning advice giver Mano, and
we'll be taking your ask ye questions. Eight hundred two
nine fifty one fifty Its way up.

Speaker 6 (43:29):
Everybody Women's relationship for career advice. Angela's dropping facts.

Speaker 7 (43:35):
This is ask gee what's up?

Speaker 4 (43:37):
His way up? But Angela yee.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
I'm Angela Yee and I'm sitting with the award winning
advice giver Maino, and it's time for you guys to
ask whatever question you want and we're here to help.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
Eight hundred two nine fifty one fifty. Hello Sean, how
are you?

Speaker 10 (43:52):
I'm good? How about you?

Speaker 4 (43:54):
I'm good? Thank you Mano and I are here and
we can't wait to hear your question.

Speaker 10 (43:58):
Yes, I just have a reationship question. Me and my fiance.
We've been together for five years, okay, and when we
first got together, I did do things in the past.
I cheated on her a couple of times and not
regret it. And now she's saying, but she also cheating.
But the thing did she had six with a whole
nother man. I was just conversing ooh with females.

Speaker 4 (44:19):
Okay, you guys had a very rocky start to your relationship.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
She did.

Speaker 10 (44:24):
We moved there like six months into our relationship, and
now she's telling me that she needs time to heal.

Speaker 7 (44:30):
From the past.

Speaker 4 (44:31):
All right, so go ahead. So you've forgiven her.

Speaker 10 (44:34):
Yeah, I've forgiven her, But it seems like she's still
holding on to the past from my mistakes.

Speaker 3 (44:40):
That don't make sense.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
If you ever had sex with nobody and she did,
let me ask you this, Have you been completely honest
with about everything that happened or does she still have questions?
Because sometimes when we feel like questions aren't answered or
you're not being truthful, that also makes it hard to
move on. I find that sometimes guys will only tell
a little bit of what happened instead of all of.

Speaker 4 (45:00):
It, and we know there's more. No, I've told her everything, okay,
I'm just asking.

Speaker 10 (45:05):
Everything and everything. I feel like there are other themes
in her life that stretches her out, and I feel
like she take the themes out on me because she
patrolled the relationship. She man, she take care of you know,
she take care of her mom and everything.

Speaker 4 (45:23):
And it's way hot, all right, So she's got a
lot of things.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
So maybe part of it is with all of that stress,
you sometimes lashed out at the people closest to you.

Speaker 10 (45:35):
Right, we stay together, we have a door together and everything.
She's four years old and I was trying to see
she wants space, and like I said, we lived together.
And it's like I told her, if you're not over
the past now, you will never get over the past.

Speaker 4 (45:50):
I don't know that that's too. Sometimes it takes people a.

Speaker 5 (45:53):
Five years, well they've been together, but that's when that's
when he did what he did.

Speaker 3 (45:58):
It was it was four to five years ago.

Speaker 4 (46:00):
I listen, I feel you.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
But like you said, there's a lot of other things
going on in her life, and so you can't dictate
how long it takes somebody to get over something.

Speaker 4 (46:08):
But you can't dictate how long you'll deal with it
and stick through it.

Speaker 3 (46:11):
But she did worse. It's not a battle. It is
a battle. She jumped in with another man. He ain't
even do that, have you?

Speaker 2 (46:17):
So you definitely you don't bring up what she's done
or is it like when you get an argument, is
it a tip for tat the only time I.

Speaker 10 (46:24):
Bring up a thief that she's done is when she's
ready to walk away from her relationship. Then she bring
up the feet that I've done in the path.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
Have y'all ever gone to like Kupo's therapy or seen
somebody else that can be a mediator?

Speaker 1 (46:36):
No, not at all.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
Really, the right thing to do is, yes, you should
be able to talk to the people closest to you
about whatever, but sometimes that's not going to be helpful
to you, and she needs somebody to really help her
to be able to deal with that, but also to
deal with this relationship.

Speaker 4 (46:50):
And you guys need to take it seriously.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
Where you haven't been able to come to any type
of agreement, now we got to get some outside help.

Speaker 4 (46:57):
And I think that's useful for anybody's relationship.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
Right.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Is there a way that you guys can have some
time where you're not together always so that she can have,
you know, some time to think and be on her own,
because sometimes we do need that.

Speaker 4 (47:11):
To figure out what do we want to for her
to move to her mom house?

Speaker 10 (47:15):
Okay, but she hasn't done that at all. She's been
saying that from months and months, and it is making
me feel some kind of way because I know it's
probably somebody she has feelings for yeah, and it's just
making me feel like man, because I'm still paying the
bills in the house.

Speaker 5 (47:32):
That's right, That's what it is. You listen, you gotta
go with your with your with your vibe. With your
vibe is telling me, man, you feel like it's somebody there.
It's a it's a good chance that it is. It
sounds like to me that she wants to be out
of the relationship. You should give her what she's looking for.
Throw the whole relationship aways.

Speaker 3 (47:48):
Start new. You're young, you got your whole life ahead
of you.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
But they do have a child together and sometimes both
parents try to make things work because of that.

Speaker 3 (47:56):
You don't want to.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
But if it doesn't look like it's gonna happen, what
like ideally you want to stay together or no.

Speaker 10 (48:01):
Yeah, I want to stay together because, like I said,
it's been five years and honestly, I'm willing to fight
for my family.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
All you can do is present options to solve and
move forward together. And if she's not with it, then
you do have to consider that this just may not
be able to work. You present the options. Look, we
need to get some outside help. You can ask her
questions like is there someone else? Are you trying to
come up with excuses? Are you holding onto this? Because
I just need to know, so I need to know
how I need to move. And if she's not willing

(48:29):
to do anything, and she's stubborn and not taking any accountability,
then you can't keep beating yourself up right, and you
can still be a great dad, you know, and still
have a great relationship. But the other thing is you
don't want your daughter to grow up seeing this. You
are all right, well, good luck. You do sound like
a good guy, so I know either way you'll come
out of this better.

Speaker 10 (48:50):
I appreciate you'all taking the time to talk to.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
