let's talk about young Thug and his child. Opening statements
started yesterday and we'll give you some of the updates
of what happened.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
All right, it's a lot already, it's way up.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Sure, she's about to blow the lid ab off this spot.
Let's get it. Oh, angelus feeling that yet, Come and
get your tea.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
All right, it's way up with Angela ye A'm angela yee.
Jasmine brand is here, my own on my own brand,
and Karen is here from Real Housewives a Potomac. Hello, Hello,
and are you ready to do some ut with us?

Speaker 8 (04:11):
I'm ready?

Speaker 5 (04:11):
All right, Well, let's start it off with Young Thug.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Now, his opening statements at his trial began yesterday, and
to be clear, this trial is expected to last for
at least a year. Oh gosh, okay, yeah, is what
they're saying. He's being accused of running a criminal street
gang that operated like a quote pack of wolves. And
that's what they're saying during the opening statements. It's a
racketeering trial. And so they also read a passage from

(04:37):
the Jungle Book about wolf packs and said that Young
Thug's gang had similarly operated.

Speaker 5 (04:42):
As a pack.

Speaker 6 (04:43):
So it's a little dramatic.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
Listen.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
They also are tying the man that was convicted in
the case where he shot up Little Wayne's tour bus
back in twenty fifteen, too Young Thug. And so they,
according to Adrian Love, they unloaded bullets into the man's
tour bus, bullets for nothing except to show their dominance.
There will be no evidence to show that Little way
And threatened either of them that night, But that act

(05:06):
on the part of Jimmy Winfrey and the defendants before you.
Today was intended to show their solidarity, their willingness to
act on the behalf of and their willingness to exact
violence upon anyone who threatened the position of the street
game calling itself young Slime Life.

Speaker 8 (05:21):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, So this is interesting though, because a lot of
people are saying, free Young Thug.

Speaker 6 (05:26):
I wish I could watch the whole thing live.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
That's what I need, like a court TV type of situation,
all right.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
They also, you know, as we had said before, are
going to be able to use his lyrics when that's fair.

Speaker 6 (05:41):
I'm sure he doesn't either.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
I don't think they fought against that.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Was up here talking about that and saying it's an
attack on the rap music as a whole.

Speaker 5 (05:50):
And so it's an interesting thing that happened.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
But they did say that it's admissible in certain situations.
And they also suggested that while Young Thug didn't commit
many of the electric crimes himself, many of the violent
acts committed by his co defendants were in service to
him and his criminal enterprise.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
I mean drawing a lot of pictures graphically, and I
need them to connect the dots and another thing. Don't attack,
you know, rap the rap industry, don't use that, don't
weaponize it's It's helped a whole generation right to move
forward in a positive way. So I'm totally against it.
Admitting the lyrics, even though you know they're going to do.
They decided that. All right now, Tiffany hatt, it's bound

(06:31):
to get help. She had her second DUI arrest.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
I think that's good, Tiffany, Yes, because you know, even
though she did some stand up the next day, and
she did make jokes about it as a comedian, it
is good that she's acknowledging it's time for me to
not play around because anything could happen.

Speaker 6 (06:48):
Do eyes are serious, it.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
Is, And no shame in getting help, No shame at all.
This is a good example, great woman. I want to
see her do well, So get the help you need.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Well, here's what she said during her stand up. All right,
stand up not bad, not.

Speaker 8 (07:13):
Bad, But maybe the timing is off a little bit.

Speaker 6 (07:16):
You know, are you saying it too soon?

Speaker 4 (07:20):
I think it's a little too soon, you know, just
just a little too soon, that's all.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
And you know, she fell asleep behind the wheel of
her car. And imagine if she would have been driving
in something would have happened. And that's one thing that
you have to think about. I will say, when I
was younger, I was definitely reckless. Learn my lesson. Thank
God we have uber. Yeah, and you know exactly, but
you know you have to say, I'm so happy that
like nothing happened. And this is a wake up car,

(07:46):
this is God is saving you. All right, Well, that
is your yee tea, and we are going to talk
about some things. But when we come back, we have
about last night. That's where we discussed what we did
last night. I'll tell you what I did. We had
very active things.

Speaker 5 (07:59):
Karen. You're gonna let us know what you had going
on last night. But in the.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Meantime, let's get to some classic Drake. All right, best
I ever had. It's way up.

Speaker 2 (08:07):

is here, Yes, I'm here, and Karen from Real Housewives
Epotomac is here. Hello, Hello, Hello, and it's time for
about last night. What did you do last night? Karen?

Speaker 4 (08:24):
Actually, it's press for the show this week. So I
had a PJA party. I know it's nauseating. With my
twenty six year old daughter, we just cuddled and ate
food in the bed.

Speaker 6 (08:34):
I love it fun.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
I know it's gona be you one day, Jasmine with
your daughter, I know, right with baby Rain all day time.
And well, last and by the way, shout out to
you for all the press you've been doing, because you
have like thirty interviews a day and people don't understand
that's really worked. That's exhausting, and you're answering like the
same questions over and over again by doing it very pleasantly.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
You know, I enjoy what I do, though, so if
you like what you do, you can put a smile
on and push.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Through, all right, because we got some questions for you. Well,
last last night I actually was in Brooklyn at my
juice bar that I'm going to be reopening. So it's
been closed for a little while, but we are going
to be reopening in like.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
A week and a half.

Speaker 6 (09:18):
Okay, what's the name of it.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
The Nourish Spot is what it'll be called. So shout
out to don Kelly. Actually, Hear and her daughter Jade
are partners, and we love the mother daughter dynamic and
they have the Juice Bar and Queens. It's also as
City Field. They have a lot of big things happening,
and she actually got a grant for us to be
able to do this together.

Speaker 6 (09:38):
Which was amazing. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
I never had no grant before. But let me tell
you something, power Listen, we need to start applying for
some but but we are going to be reopening very shortly,
hopefully the date should I give a date because sometimes
I hate doing that.

Speaker 5 (09:52):
Until it was very near future broad brushing.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah, so all right, but very very very soon, yes,
very let's in two weeks.

Speaker 8 (10:01):
That's good.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
You graduated, So I'm excited. And you know what was
nice a while I was there people because in the
neighborhood it's in Brooklyn and Bedstyde, it was really like
a staple in that neighborhood. So a lot of people
were coming by like are you guys to be open?

Speaker 5 (10:12):
What's going on? Oh my god?

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Like they really can't wait. So I'm really excited for that.
And we're not gonna just have juices this time. We're
also going to have food and catering and all of
those things, and coffee cause you know, I got coffee
uplifts people, My coffee company. So that's what I was doing.
So you know, I don't like to sit down at all.
Clearly you're very busy. Yes, indeed, Well listen, like I

(10:36):
told you, Careen, we are going to get back to you.
So let's talk about Real Housewives and Potellma this season. Now,
something that we just discovered is the woman who was
saying that she had an affair with Chris Bassett, that's
Candice's husband, says that she made it all up. Okay,
she had said that she was pregnant and had an
abortion and all kinds of things. But now she's saying

(10:59):
the whole thing was a lie, and she admits that.

Speaker 6 (11:03):
That's a big lie.

Speaker 8 (11:04):
It's a big lie.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Well, I believe that she did lie. Candice and Chris
have a strong marriage. I'm rooting for them. It's been
under attack now for what two years, so back off.

Speaker 8 (11:18):
I mean, let them have a moment. It's five years strong.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
And this young woman, I'm glad she found the moral
compass to, you know, admit that she lied because it
could have caused more damage.

Speaker 5 (11:26):
And a lot of people say, well why was she lie?

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Right, it's the thirst, it's fame. She said, I've never
talked to him. I made the whole thing up. I'm
sorry that my actions hurt people.

Speaker 5 (11:39):
Child sound like a lawsuit.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
To me, it does sound like a loss defamation of
character for a show, because.

Speaker 5 (11:45):
Imagine what Chris was going through at home.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Because at first, when somebody tells you you like you
might publicly not believe it, but you still like, wait
a minute, so you sure, yeah, exactly, and you start
questioning things. Well, we're going to talk about things that
people have made up. You know, in relationships, you got
your share of things.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
Karen, every season I get one? What's the one this time?

Speaker 3 (12:06):
Listen, We're gonna talk about that when we come back.
But you guys, call us up. Eight hundred two nine
two fifty one fifty isn't I But in your relationship,
have you ever had anybody lie on you and then
you've had to defend yourself? You know, people always be like, oh, well,
I might as well just do it if people keep
on lying and say you know, people always use that
as an excuse. Eight hundred nine fifty one fifty call
us up.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Oh more, way up with Angelae on now it's.

Speaker 5 (12:31):
Way up at Angela. Yee, I'm Angela yee.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
Jasmine is here Good morning Angela, and our really good
friend Karen is here for good in the morning. We're
drinking some coffee martinis right now. Yes, I had to
kind of talk her into it. I kind of had to,
you know, pressure her. Yeah, because I gotta work. I
just did the triple twenty.

Speaker 8 (12:48):
Ladies.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
I told you I can wake up busy by myself.

Speaker 6 (12:50):
I can say funny, I love it.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Well, listen, right now we are talking about lying, somebody
lying on your relationship.

Speaker 11 (12:57):
Now.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
We talked about this because of Candice and Chris. This woman,
Ayana had said that she had an abortion by Chris
and all of this, and now it turns out she
made the whole thing up all right now, Karen, Yes,
has anybody ever lied on your relationship? And every years
up in there and say they used to say you
were cheating?

Speaker 4 (13:17):
You know, I know I'm gorgeous. Well, you know you
can't have it both ways. So let's talk about We're
going to talk about me specifically. One minute, you know,
I love my girls, but one minute they're like, oh,
you're old, be retired. Next minute they're giving me three
or four men. I mean, you can't have it both ways.
I know I'm a bad chick, but really I really
take it as a compliment talk about me. But does

(13:39):
that hurt your relationship?

Speaker 3 (13:40):
Because, like I was saying earlier, sometimes you might be like, Okay,
I know it's not true, but then there's questions still
at home.

Speaker 8 (13:46):
Well you know what I got to say.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
It does cause way to pause, you know, because there
is a seventeen year age difference. But what makes it
work is his trust in me and mine and him
and communication. You know, he's had his questions for me
after stories like that. We're only human, but nothing can
come up against our lave. Nothing can break that except us.
So back off. Okay, all right, I love that, so

(14:10):
back off, back off? All right?

Speaker 5 (14:12):
What about you, Jasmine?

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Anybody ever lied about anything that happened with you?

Speaker 6 (14:17):
You know what, Someone lied and said I was a
lesbian one time.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
Oh yeah, I could see that, and I was just like, okay,
they say that about me because I don't be putting
it in posting my boyfriend.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
That's a smart move. Don't post your man break doesn't
have social media. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (14:34):
Yeah, I've heard that about myself, but I never heard
you were. No, I never heard that about you.

Speaker 5 (14:39):
That I was a lesbian. Yeah, so then.

Speaker 8 (14:41):
Who are you with?

Speaker 5 (14:42):
Are you cheating?

Speaker 4 (14:42):
Oh that's the that's tea, that's that's hilarious.

Speaker 5 (14:50):
All right, But we want to hear about you.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Guys. Has anybody ever lied and caused issues in your relationship? Now,
Anonymous calor, this is a little different because you actually
were the person who lied in your relationship.

Speaker 9 (15:02):
Yeah. I was a teenager and I was in a
serious relationship with a really good girl. It was toxic,
it began to take a certain toll. But I came
up with this lie to the person and told her
that I cheated and I never did. I was having

(15:22):
a conversation with a friend of mine and we were
you counting everything. So I ended up thinking about it
and hearing this. Now I just decided to speak it out.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
So you told the girl that you cheated to break
up with her. Yeah, I'd rather you just break up
with me than tell me you cheated on me too.

Speaker 5 (15:40):
Amen, that's different.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
I feel like guys, but I always say, these guys
had to get you to break up with them, and
so he did that to make her break up with him.

Speaker 6 (15:48):
Yes, let's learn.

Speaker 9 (15:49):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
See that's better.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
Yeah, tell her though, and now he's anonymous on the phone.
Yeah you know he's not clean yet.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah, no, he's not. He still don't want to admit
you got that. Apologize to her right now, right now, sir,
please call her.

Speaker 5 (16:05):
Pay Champagne.

Speaker 4 (16:06):
How are you hi?

Speaker 7 (16:07):
How are you?

Speaker 5 (16:08):
I don'kay.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
You want to share with us the biggest lie that
happened that caused issues in your relationship? Okay, Well, I
had just met this boy, maybe like a year and
a half ago, and I just.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Found out that he was lying.

Speaker 9 (16:21):
About us making a baby.

Speaker 5 (16:23):
At the end of the mine, I would think, you know,
on my period.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Is it coming? You know, oh I'm pregnant.

Speaker 4 (16:28):
I'm pregnant.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
But come and find out.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
And he wasn't really shitting me.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
We were never playing for a baby.

Speaker 5 (16:34):
We were never having a baby.

Speaker 11 (16:35):
That how I found out.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
I started making him wear a condom. So then I
found out he wasn't.

Speaker 10 (16:40):
Even oh my lord, even coming.

Speaker 5 (16:44):
Uh, he was just not able to orgasm. I don't
know if we.

Speaker 11 (16:49):
Were they able to orgasm or if he was just
not because one time.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
Okay, so he is, okay, I.

Speaker 5 (17:00):
Feel right, Oh my gosh, Well it might be for
the best.

Speaker 8 (17:04):
Ma'am amen.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
Amen.

Speaker 5 (17:06):
All right, Well, y'all are.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Very interesting, but thanks for calling eight hundred two nine
fifty one fifty in case.

Speaker 5 (17:11):
You couldn't get through. And when we come back, we
have your yee te.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
We'll talk about Steve Harvey and his wife Marjorie Harvey.
He gives her major props. Will tell you about his tribute.
It's way up at Angela Yee. She's like the talk
like they Angela Jean, like they Angela jee Man.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
She's spilling it all. This is yet way all right.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
It's way up at the Angela ye Am, Angela Yee.
Jasmine brand is here.

Speaker 6 (17:35):
I'm not just any brand.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
I'm my own brand, and our really fun favorite co
host is here. Karen from Real Housewives Epotomac.

Speaker 8 (17:42):
Hello, Hello, going down.

Speaker 5 (17:43):
Yeah, he's behind the scenes conversations.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yes, Kay Diddy has temporarily stepped aside as chairman at Revolt,
and that is in wake of all of these lawsuits
that he has.

Speaker 5 (17:53):
This is an exclusive from TMZ.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
They were currently celebrating their tenure anniversary. I shout out
to thet who's the CEO, and he did quickly in
less than twenty four hours, settle that lawsuit with Cassie,
But now there's been two additional lawsuits against Ditty, and
so he has released a statement. The New York legislation
surely did not intend or expect the Adult Survivors Act

(18:16):
to be exploited for improper purposes. The public should be
skeptical and not rush to accept these unsubstantiated allegations that
act did. I was watching that last day, I think
the twenty fourth. Yeah, with this New York legislation about
the Adult Survivors Act, I was like, Okay, what else
about to happen everybody?

Speaker 7 (18:34):
You know, I didn't realize once Cassie filed. I know
that she mentioned it in her lawsuit. I didn't realize
how you know big this Act was. And then when
I start seeing stories about, you know, the deadline, I
was like, oh, okay, it's making sense why everybody is
filing before, you know, while to have opportunities, you.

Speaker 8 (18:48):
Have to so they get their moment to speak their truth.

Speaker 5 (18:51):
Yeah, what are your thoughts? Karen On?

Speaker 4 (18:53):
Well, you know what, I'm learning a lot about did
he now, and so I am open to all all
discussions about him. I'm glad he stepped down, though. Yeah,
he needs to focus on resolving.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
That's in handling it, all right, So he doesn't want
that to take away from her. Volt's mission is what
his statement is. All right now, Steve Harvey was at
the Grio Awards and he paid tribute to his wife.
There's been all kinds of rumors about their relationship. See,
there were rumors that she was cheating on him. Man,
he's addressed this, and I know it bothers him because
he been. I feel like Steve Harvey's not even a

(19:26):
type to really keep on addressing something. But here's what
he had to say.

Speaker 12 (19:29):
That woman right there been down with me like four
flat times. Eighty five percent of what y'all up here

love you, Margie.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
Harvey right his voice cry, that's passion. The television icon,
I will.

Speaker 7 (19:55):
Say, saying down like four flat tires is definitely old school. Yeah,
I love that reference ten toes down current current or
standing on business the.

Speaker 8 (20:06):
Old school alone.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
I'm standing that's been bringing them through old school will
bring you through this new stuff.

Speaker 8 (20:11):
Yes, it's four flat ties.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
Flat ties does sound good though it sounds negative. It
does tires.

Speaker 6 (20:18):
Standing on business.

Speaker 8 (20:20):
Well, he loves this woman does, Yes, he does.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
And listen, we do not doubt that. I love Steve Harvey.

And I saw him in Abu Dhabi. He had his
whole golf situation.

Speaker 1 (20:32):

Speaker 6 (20:33):
Yeah, it's fly for sure.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
He's living life all right and three thousands.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
Album New Blue Sun outperformed twenty twenty three first week
sales for Little Wayne Nas and more. You know how
much he sold twenty four thousand, so.

Speaker 6 (20:45):
That's a lot. I guess album. Okay, you know what?

Speaker 3 (20:47):
Record sales are just different? Yeah, remember when people used
to go platinum? Like, yes, it's so different without physical
copies and it takes so many streams for it to
count as a sale.

Speaker 6 (20:59):
So have you guys listen to the album?

Speaker 1 (21:01):
No?

Speaker 3 (21:01):
I haven't, have you?

Speaker 6 (21:02):
No, I well listen.

Speaker 7 (21:03):
I'll be trying to find music that is kind of
chill with my daughter in the car. So I've been
listening to in the car.

Speaker 6 (21:08):
So it's fine.

Speaker 5 (21:09):
You know, I might do that when I get a
massage at home.

Speaker 6 (21:12):
Yeah, he's perfect for that.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Yeah, that's what I heard. All right, Well that is
your yet and when we come back, we have under
the radar. These are the stories that are flying under
the radar. Imagine you paid thirty thousand dollars for a
cruise that never was gonna happen. All right, we're going
to tell you about this crazy story about a boat
that didn't even exist. Hated I love it game in

(21:33):
fifty cent right now, it's way up in.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
The news that relates to you. These stories are flying
under the radar.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
I just want to say I never realized in the
song livea Life all of the big words that Ti
was using, And so we were listening to that use
a lot of big words, and that's brand T.

Speaker 5 (21:49):
I I'm just looking.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
I was listening. I was like, all right, well anyway,
it's waiting for the ane. I'm Angela yee Jasmine brand
is here. Yes, Karen's here from Real Houses a Potomac,
but gondem Miss here with us. And by the way,
you know, it was just Thanksgiving and according to the TSA,
they broke the record for the highest number of daily passengers.
Almost three million people were screened at US airports traveling.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
I did not I did not say so. I don't
know who these people were. No, you know what.

Speaker 7 (22:19):
I came back Wednesday. I flew from Detroit to DC Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Well, then you were part of that.

Speaker 6 (22:24):
It wasn't bad. Actually she's one of the three million million.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
All right, now, let's talk about this. This story was
fascinating to me and really sad. A three year cruise
got canceled and they were just about to take off,
all right. It was less than two weeks before they
were scheduled to set sale. Life at Sea Cruises. It
was a three year sailing. It was announced in March.
Now passengers had to pay about thirty thousand per year
and the voyage was organized by a company that was

(22:51):
based in Turkey. People really flew out to Istanbul and
they're there right now. Oh, man is horrible. Yes, I
mean I was in a year for three years. One
woman sold her apartment and all of her belonging belongings
to pay for her retirement crews. And did I hear
you say that they're going to pay back in monthly installments? Yes,
they said they're gonna pay So I didn't see any

(23:13):
monthly installments.

Speaker 8 (23:14):
I need my money now, you know.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
But it's sad and tragic that these schemes are out
there taking advantage of everyone.

Speaker 8 (23:20):
They knew this boat didn't exist.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
Well listen, passengers said some of them did not have
a home to return to because they thought for three
years I'm just gonna be at sea, and now that
didn't happen. And you know what they said, So I
guess maybe their intention was they were going to get
these this money from people and then be able to
get the boat. But they said, after everything that was
happening in the Middle East, investors declined to support further

(23:43):
because of the unrest.

Speaker 7 (23:45):
So they didn't even have a boat. They were taking
the money. Oh my goodness, Oh on a wish and
a prayer.

Speaker 5 (23:51):
What do they call it?

Speaker 3 (23:51):
The car before the horse?

Speaker 8 (23:54):
What horse?

Speaker 2 (23:55):
What car?

Speaker 3 (23:55):
I mean they put the boat before the sea. They
meant the boat. Okay, all right, well I don't know,
but anyway that is you're under the radar now, you know,
we got the way it mixed at the top of
the hour. Plus, don't forget bust the rhymes is going
to be joining us today. A bus a bus. Let
me tell y'all bust the rhymes has stories four days,
so I'm excited for this. It's way up at Angela.

Speaker 2 (24:14):

Speaker 5 (24:41):
And that's no problem. All right, Well let's get into
some yet now.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
We've been keeping up with Young Doug's trial, which started
yesterday and today in court, his lawyer Brian Steele said
that Young Doug's name stands for truly humbled under God.

Speaker 5 (24:56):
In the opening statement, Brian, I'm.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
Done, sorry, sir, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
It's a nice try, though, And Meghan Koniff is right
there reporting by the way we mean. Yeah, she's definitely
given us a tea from inside the courtroom. I love
her all right now, Josh Giddy from the thunders, He's
a guard. He's reportedly at risk of losing his sponsorship
deal with an Australian serial brand called wheat Bix. It's

(25:24):
a forty million dollar sponsorship deal, by the way, Okay,
and that is all because of video that was posted
where there's allegations now that he's having an inappropriate relationship
with a minor. I believe the woman is a junior
in college, if I'm not mistaken. And so after the game,

(25:45):
you know, he was being asked questions at the press
conference after the game, and it was all about what's
going on with those allegations, And here's what he had
to say.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah, I mean I understand the question obviously, but.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
Right now so he has no comment, Yeah, of course
not Yeah, okay, So you know, I'm not sure what's
gonna happen with that or what we think should happen.

Speaker 7 (26:08):
Well, let's wait for more details. Yeah, it's allegit right
now because always so was it pad.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
We didn't see anything happening. We don't know, you know,
what's going on with that, But yeah, there is an investigation.
He's twenty one years old, by the way, and he
has been removed from that company's social media accounts.

Speaker 5 (26:22):
And things like that, and how old is she?

Speaker 8 (26:24):
We don't know.

Speaker 5 (26:25):
We don't junior in college or no, maybe in high school.
I'm sorry school Oh okay, right now looking on that sideways. Okay,
I'm gott junior in college. She's legal.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
Yeah, unless you got left back or something, you know.
Oh okay, I don't know now. For two, Doug recently
was on million dollars worth of Game and he was
talking about his time being.

Speaker 5 (26:46):
Locked up and the job that he had.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
You know what, I hate the fact that when people
are in jail, the things that they have to do,
and how little they get paid, like literally pennies a day.
Here's what he had to say about his job. But
they had me and her working in me what was
he doing in the kitchen? They was being funny, like
putting you to work man, waking me up at in
the morning, bro.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
Schedule.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
So I like, you know, I can't be on my feet.
I got shot.

Speaker 4 (27:12):
So she made me wrap a thousand forks all morning
every morning.

Speaker 6 (27:19):
You've done that a morning, so that's a lot of forks.

Speaker 4 (27:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (27:23):
How much? How much did they pay him?

Speaker 3 (27:24):
He said he didn't get paid. He said he's never
been paid.

Speaker 6 (27:28):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
That's not fair free labor.

Speaker 8 (27:30):
No, no, all.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Right, well that is your yee tee. And when we
come back, since Karen is here, we got some questions. Yes,
I got man sized potomach. I got so many questions.
I cannot wait for this. It's way up at Angela.
If you're a fan of the show like we are,
then you're gonna want to hear this.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
You way up with Angela. Ye more, now.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
It's way you put Angela yee, I'm Angela yee. Jasmine
brand is here, Yes, it's here. This is the kind
of thing we.

Speaker 5 (27:56):
Love because Karen Hugar is here from real Hot Spice
of Potomac. Y love being your thank you.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
And we've been asking you all kinds of things because
we are really interested.

Speaker 8 (28:03):
They've been prying into my business.

Speaker 6 (28:05):
We're invested.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
Okay, they're invested, and you know, you know it's some
tea when she's like the MIC's aren't on right.

Speaker 5 (28:11):
Right, we had to make sure y'all were protected.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
But now they are all right, So let's ask some questions.
As we've been watching this new season of Real Housewives,
I want to ask you, and I asked you this
off the mic about Mia and we know in real life, she's,
you know, going through her divorce, so I don't know
if she's divorced already, but I think it looks like
she he felt like she was with him for the money.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
Yeah, she went live with that, didn't he? Yes, he
gave it to TMZ.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
Yes he did. Okay, we're good. So I just wanted
to get your opinion on it because I know, you know,
there was some tax issues that Ray had, but you
were definitely standing by your husband to.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
Talk about that. Because you know the difference. People often
ask me what kind of advice I would give me.
I can't give me an advice in her situation. I
soldiered for Ray. I was gonna hold my man down,
you know, make sure we made it through storms.

Speaker 8 (29:02):
Mia.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
On the other hand, you know, last reunion put her
husband's name in one sentence with the word embezzlement.

Speaker 8 (29:08):
I thought it was done, then it was up, you know,
it was over.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
So I just this is not a surprise to me,
and I wish them both well, especially.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
The children, though I want them to be happy. They're
great kids.

Speaker 7 (29:20):
Do you think she should have soldiered through and held
him down like you held your husband down.

Speaker 5 (29:24):
She can't speak for her.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
I can't speak.

Speaker 8 (29:25):
I can't speak for her.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
It's not in her heart.

Speaker 8 (29:27):
No, it's not, you know, it's.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
It's not in my heart to do that. But you
know she did what she she did what she does.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
Yeah, now I want to also talk about your real
estate purchase, because that was a big deal.

Speaker 5 (29:39):
He still so tell us about that.

Speaker 8 (29:41):
Well, for me, I can hint a little.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
You know, I needed to invest and make my real
estate portfolio more robusts. So I looked at homes in Potomac,
and I looked at the home in Surrey County. So
I bought my grandmother's estate, which is going to turn
into the grand House, which is of wooden willow farms
I love, and it's going to be a resort. So

(30:05):
I chose an investment for me that would make money
for the family. So I repurposed the farm.

Speaker 5 (30:09):
How did that feel when you closed in? That empowering?
It's so empowering.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
But you guys are got to understand, Valerie, my aunt
vow has been holding it down for years. So to
get her to sell that to me, and no, it
was not given to me.

Speaker 8 (30:21):
I had to buy it. That was a moment with unveil.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Oh lord, She's like, okay, but she trusts me and
that's huge and I'm honored.

Speaker 6 (30:29):
It's going to be called the Grandam the first house.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
Yeah, my grandmother's house will be the Grandam House. Okay,
all right, And I want to ask how have things
changed since when you guys did your vowery newl You
and Ray.

Speaker 5 (30:39):
You know, it's it hasn't really.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
We're still the same people, you know. We are consistent.
Ray and I love each other. He is my best friend.
We're not perfect. We do have an institution. It is
not without scratches and things, but we hold each other down,
you know, and we lift each other and encourage each other.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
And I saw that you said when asked about how
honest you are about everything happening, you said pretty much
one hundred percent.

Speaker 4 (30:59):
Pretty much say with everything right? Because are we talking
about for the show? Yeah, I mean, no one's going
to believe you are one hundred percent. You know, they're
going to have their opinions about what your opinion is.
But yeah, because I have to be an open book.
And I think that it makes me relatable because I
am human. I do fall, but it's how I get up.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
That matters now. There were also some talking about health issues,
right and so can you discuss that right now? Like
what was going on with your health? I know there
were some deposits or what was that right?

Speaker 4 (31:27):
Well, you know, my thing is to share knowledge is
Black women, cardiovascular disease is rampant in our community and
many of us die silently. My mother was a cardiovascular
patient as well. So when I did turn triple twenty,
I was like, let me look into this. And I
did so much research and I found that there was
a calcium MRII test that you could take which would
measure the calcium in your.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
Heart and your arteries or your veins.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
And I had that done and they found you know
that there was early stages of cardiovascular disease.

Speaker 5 (31:59):
To know early, it's great to know early.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
It was scary. I was in denial. But I shared
that with the girls because I want them to know.
I want to use Bravo and thank Bravo for allowing
me to bring that to our community that you know
there are tests we can take, we can take a
pre into strike. I am medicated, I am happy, I
am losing weight, staying healthy and just and looking great
having fun, having fun, but it knowledge is.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
Power, all right. Well again, Karen is here from Real
Housewives of Potomac. I feel like we should maybe skip
asky and talk some more with Karen.

Speaker 5 (32:33):
Let's do that when we come back. It's way up
at angelaee.

Speaker 7 (32:36):

Yep, yeah, why not. I'm gonna be able to shell too.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
And Karen's from Real Housewives a Potomac. And normally we
would be doing ask Ye here, but I just felt
like we have you here and it's a special thing,
so we just want to make sure we keep on
having conversations with you. Megan, and Stallion said you're her
favorite on the show.

Speaker 5 (33:00):
I was shook.

Speaker 4 (33:02):
I love her and I'm really proud and I love
it that my daughter was the one that captured it
on film. For me, She's like, get up, it's making
the Stallion you know, and it's so cool because it
makes that means unrelatable on every you know, in every generation.

Speaker 5 (33:16):
Yes, so cool, and especially when she said she's my auntie,
so you never met her.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
Right, no, but I'm going to.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
In the reunion or something.

Speaker 6 (33:29):
That's Angela. That's a really good idea.

Speaker 7 (33:30):
Andy in the Stallion a little during the reunion.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
She should come out and do something that would be
so cool. Right, did you guys film.

Speaker 5 (33:38):
The reunion yet?

Speaker 3 (33:39):
No, we have not Okay, filming for the season.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
I am done filming for the season, but you know
we have to get you guys through the season. And
uh yeah, much much more so we're not even filmed
the reunion yet.

Speaker 3 (33:53):
You know, he's saying, I was.

Speaker 7 (33:54):
Going to ask Karen, since you are Megan the Stallion's favorite,
who is your favorite? And you can't pick anyone from
your show your favorite housewife?

Speaker 5 (34:02):
Okay, Garcil, Okay, we like ourselves.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
Calves, she's boss and she and what I love about
her is she's a phenomenal mother. And you know, she
met my daughter when she was on the rail and
she took the time out of her day to come
personally to my dressing room to meet very even that's
a good person.

Speaker 8 (34:23):
That's a good mother.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
So you Raven saw her Ravokan, It's like miss Garcel
so sweet.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
Do you ever look at the old episodes in like
the first season and just flash back to where you
were when you first started and see where.

Speaker 5 (34:36):
How many seasons? Eight?

Speaker 8 (34:38):
Eight seasons for me?

Speaker 4 (34:39):
Yeah, yeah, I don't look back, but Lord, when I
see the pictures, I'm like, thank you Jesus for progress.

Speaker 5 (34:45):
My wigs were a hot mess.

Speaker 8 (34:47):
It was on the back of my head half the time.

Speaker 6 (34:50):
It was sliding one that was honest.

Speaker 4 (34:53):
No, I'm talking about Confessionals where I had Oh girl,
I just thought it was hot. But you know, time
heals all wounds and fixes all wigs and.

Speaker 6 (35:02):
Everyone looks better each season.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (35:04):
It forced me to buy my own wig company, you know. Yeah,
with RPG show.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
Now, I want to ask you about peoples discussing the unions.
We saw everything that happened with SAG after and then
we saw calls for reality shows for unions for those people, right,
and so what are your thoughts about that, because these
shows do get replayed and re aired and I don't
I don't think you guys benefit from that.

Speaker 8 (35:26):
No, we don't. It would be nice if we did,
so fingers crossed.

Speaker 5 (35:30):
M mmmmmm. Okay, so you're on board with that yet,
of course.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
I'm on board with absolutely, But in an agreed manner,
not an attack manner. You know, Bravo has been very
good to us, so I'm hoping we can have healthy
discussions and a healthy meeting in the road.

Speaker 8 (35:46):
You know.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
And what about businesses that you've been able to launch since?

Speaker 8 (35:50):
Yeah, Leadon is blowing up.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
I started out with a fragrance that's in Bloomingdale's and Hson,
and then I went to the three Hand, which is
also in Bloomingdale's, and now we have a four Wick
special bringing out everything is coming up ninety hours.

Speaker 8 (36:08):
It's Bohemian fire.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
I want to ask you, do you like how they
actually cover that too, because even when you were developing
your fragrance, sometimes with the way that things can be
can seem and be edited, it can make it look
like they're kind of shady.

Speaker 5 (36:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (36:22):
Well, you know, bad advertisement is better than no advertising.
I always take lemons and make lemonade. Okay, I'm not
shook by it. This is what I signed up for.
But I know what my mission is. I have the
business plan, I know how I'm going to execute it.
So the show just helps propel that and then talking
about it makes it even better or bad. Good or bad,
you take the good with the bad all right, right,

(36:44):
good see. I'm glad we were able to have this
conversation again. Karen is here, but you know who else
is going to be joining us today. Busta Rhymes is
going to be up here today, Okay, and it feels
like he's in a space where now he can be
really open about things.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
He's always been kind of private and closed off. Gonna
have a great conversation because you know who he is.
He is a rich baby daddy. Okay, it's way up
with Angela Yee.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Volume up, y'all be way up with Angela ye break,

your career. Before we started this, we talked about a
lecture and Sylvia your own Yes Queen, and then the
women that you have on the album. I saw your
tribute to missy Elliott, what you wrote to her, and
I just appreciate the fact that you've always been so
embracing of women because this is an industry where that
doesn't always happen, both on the mic and behind the scenes.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Thank you so much, Queen for me, my greatest successes
and my biggest support came from women. But the woman
that had started with was my mom's because my Pops,
God rest his soul, he wasn't a fan of none
of this rap thing.

Speaker 9 (38:02):
You know.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
He's the old fashioned Jamaican man. It was a real
weird experience for me. As Leaders in the New School,
we had did an amateur night at the Apollo performance.
One time we got booed. My Pops was dead and
he just hit me with the I told of bullsh
My mother was way different. My mom was with whatever

(38:23):
I was as long as it kept me out the street.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
At the end of the day.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
My mother signed my deal when I was seventeen because
I wasn't old enough to sign it. So that support
led to me ultimately being able to tell her she
could quit a job once I got kicked out of
Leaders and I got my solo deal.

Speaker 5 (38:38):
Right, Can we go back to getting boot at the
Apollo though?

Speaker 3 (38:41):
That had to be such an awful feeling because average, like,
what was the rest of that night?

Speaker 1 (38:45):
Like it was tears that embarrassment. You can't at that
time too, you didn't even know how to deal with that.
What kept me so determined though, was you know, my
pops wasn't the type of pops that gave me a choice,
like it was you coming to work with me at
twelve thirteen years old. I'm trying to be a kid still,
I don't want to be there with him. And it
was just that whole experience.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
It was like, I'm not I don't see, I'm not.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Doing none of this. Let me get this wrap thing
popping for real, because number one, I want to hit
them with the I Told You show, And number two,
I don't want to come back to this work environment
so much. Then I'm going to become Illa with the.

Speaker 5 (39:23):
Rhyme Buster Rhymes is here.

Speaker 3 (39:25):
And now let's talk about the song on the album
that actually features some of your children. It's called the Legacy.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
I love that song so much.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
It's amazing. Your kids are very talented, and I'm sure
you want to put them on if it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Oh no, no, nah, not get your time. That's a fact.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
Come on now, I can't eat the bias pops with
trash trash kids. Yeah, you know it'll do me harm, Like, yo, boss,
come on bed, Like we don't want to tell you
this with your kids, but you know, for me to
see them blossom, I'm in a super super happy space.
Like I don't even know how to explain it. And
it's the reason why that's the constant now for me.

(40:01):
My kids just grown and they're getting busy. And this
thing happened this year where I was finally able to
get all of my kids together, like since they've been born,
I wasn't able to really do that. Once that happened,
it just it just took the joy and the happiness
and the peacefulness amongst each other as a family to
a whole other unbelievable and powerful place.

Speaker 5 (40:23):
And that's when you were getting honored.

Speaker 12 (40:24):
Right.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
That was the first time they've all been together since
they've been born. At the Lifetime Achievement more for the.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
BTA War, That is amazing. Since they've been born, did
they speak to each other?

Speaker 2 (40:34):
Been speaking to each other?

Speaker 1 (40:36):
Like that's the one thing that they've always wanted, that
moment of coming together. They would, you know, have their
own individual conversations with me in one instance or another
like oh damn, Like when we're gonna get this, I don't.
I want a picture with all of my my brothers
and sisters and the same flick. But one lives in California,
one lives in North Carolina. My three boys stay in

(40:57):
New York with me, and I have a son that's
in Minneapols, Okay. So I had to make changes in
my personal space so that I was able to do
what I needed to start doing and should have done
a long time ago for my kids.

Speaker 3 (41:11):
And I feel like this is something you never used
to really talk about, right, so now that you're in
a better space, and it's like a time of reflection
being able to be open about those things because it
does help other people too, no question, and it helps
people to know your story because I feel like even
on this album, it's a lot more personal, absolutely than
things have been in the past.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
Absolutely, Quan.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
And I'm grateful that you peep that, and I'm grateful
that I'm in a space where I'm super happy and
comfortable enough to share that because I really do want
to share my joy and I want to share my
happiness because I ain't never noticed level of happiness actually
existed until now.

Speaker 3 (41:46):
Buster Rhymes is here and we have some more amazing
stories when we come back. But right now, let's get
into new music off his album Blockbuster. Here's Big Everything
with the Baby and Tea Pain. It's way up, y'all.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Be way up with Angela ye break break them down more.

Speaker 5 (42:04):
Now, what's up his way with Angela Yee?

Speaker 3 (42:09):
I'm Angela Yee. And for the first time ever, I
am sitting down with the legend himself bast the rhymes.
You know, Benzino has some things to say about Coyla
Ray being on in the video. He didn't like how
she was dressed and he felt like you should have
reached out ahead of time, and so what do you
think about that?

Speaker 1 (42:25):
My thing, first and foremost is Benzino has my number.
He knows how to reach me. You ain't gotta address
me about nothing on no social media.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Number one.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
Number two, I've never had to address him about a problem.
And there's been plenty of different issues that we've actually
went through that led to actual violence with him and
Dave May's and situations that transpired. But the point that
I'm trying to make is, up until probably right now,
this is not public information. I'm not saying this to

(42:58):
promote the issue I'm saying, and it's to promote how
the code of Ethics was upheld and how we dealt
with issues we resolved at as men and face to face.
I recently checked on him before he voiced his opinion,
and he hit me back and was congratulating me and
what I was doing with coy because I don't have
nothing to gain other than to see the people and

(43:19):
their kids that I know.

Speaker 3 (43:21):
Right, you didn't think it was anything harmful because I mean,
you call her cysts in the you know, yes, and
it's a video.

Speaker 8 (43:28):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
I'm not ever gonna compromise the respect, not only me
and coy age difference. That's not much I do it.

Speaker 5 (43:35):
It was more of a protective like I'm a big brother.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
I'm protecting my sister. She's a superstar. I am a
fan of Coiler Ray. And if you felt like she
was dressing inappropriate. The two things I'm not gonna do
is try to control people. I ain't gonna tell you
how you should do things. I'll give you my opinion,
but I ain't gonna tell you how you should dress.
You're a young woman now you ain't you taking care

(43:58):
of yourself? And I'm gonna play my position, and I'm
gonna be a support system and I'm gonna be a
resource and I'm not going to overstep my boundary.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
I got daughters.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
I'm gonna move accordingly to how I'm gonna move with
my own daughters.

Speaker 3 (44:09):
Well listen, look, I know that we could because there's
so much I didn't even get to. You got to
come back for like a part two because I want
to talk about Flip most Squad. Oh absolutely, you know,
because rad Digga is my girl from like back in
the day.

Speaker 1 (44:20):

Speaker 5 (44:23):
You know what I'm saying, shout out to you.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
Well, big shoutisher.

Speaker 3 (44:28):
I mean, you gotta come back. That's all it is,
like period, because I feel like there's so much I
didn't even get a chance to. It's just too much.
I can't.

Speaker 1 (44:35):
Yeah, this is this is the first time that me
and Angela Yee is actually getting to build like this. Y'all.
I love this woman and I respect this woman, and
I'm super proud of you and your growth and your evolution.
It's definitely a testament to you understanding how to be
swift and changeable in order to stay remainable.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
Oh shit, I like that. Can we can't isolate that?
Hey we got a song. But I want to congratulate
you on putting out this amazing project. I saw the
great responses that you've gotten online.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
Absolutely, queen, and I'm just grateful. I'm happy for the
love that the way people are receiving my truth, my vulnerability,
the time that it took for me to get comfortable
enough to share it, and I'm just glad that I'm
able to do it on my own terms. And what's
so dope about this this vibe session with you today?
It's like for me, it's like there's moments that just

(45:28):
they organically dictate the growth and the evolution of a friendship.
I really and truly feel like there's been a growth
in our friendship today.

Speaker 5 (45:38):
That's the rhund my new best friend.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
No real talk, which is dope. It's like, you know
what I mean, I don't want to sit around and
just talk. If I am comfortable with you to just talk,
we got things to do.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
I was like, how am I gonna tap drink Champs? No,
I'm kidding, I can't do that up to the broad Well,

you this, and she does not shy away from the conversations.
But I also think, you know, for everybody listening, how
it feels like you're very strong about people, weighing in
people's perceptions, turning lemons into lemonade, like you said, And
that's not an easy thing, but I feel like that's

(47:27):
a good message for people.
