Speaker 3 (04:10):
First, let's get into this Nicki Minaj arrest. Now, if
you guys recall she was arrested in Amsterdam last weekend
and she definitely felt like she was treated disgusting by
the authorities.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
If you recall, she said this on station head.
Speaker 9 (04:24):
I don't know when was the last time I felt
that low, And not only that, but just knowing that
something is being done to you on purpose, simply because
you are a confident other race.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Now the BBC is saying that Dutch police have rejected this.
They said, we just do our job and it's protocol
to search luggage and arrested person when we find drugs.
They said they are a professional organization and treats everybody
equal no matter what. And they said she had been
carrying thirty to one hundred grams of cannabis, but she
said they were pre rolls that belonged to her security guard.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Fathing like this is an episode of To Catch a
Smuggler or something like that.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
By the way, the crazy part is in Amsterdam, that
was one of the first places everybody used to go
to all the time, with the coffee shops and stuff
like that to smoke.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
They need a rebrand, Yeah, passed the Dutch indeed.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Okay, and now that was very clever.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Let's talk about this Daily Beast exclusive about Ditty. It's
called Blood Threats and Tears Inside Ditty's Nightmare Workplace. In
this article, five different ex employees of Ditty talked about
his behavior. Now, there were some people that said they
didn't feel that it would escalate to this point of
violence of what they saw on the tape. But one
female Sean John Ex employee talked about the time that
(05:39):
he grabbed her face following a disagreement about a creative decision.
She said, he didn't like that I wasn't agreeing with him,
and he started to yell and compared himself to Carl Lagerfeldt.
Then he said he told her to stick out your tongue.
He put his hands on both sides of her cheeks
and started squeezing her face really hard. And then when
she stuck out her tongue, she said he wanted to
(06:00):
see if her tongue was bleeding because she was clearly
biting it. And she said I started to look for
a job immediately after that moment. Another employee said the
work environment was like game of thrones. Everybody was walking
on eggshells and some colleagues would throw others under the
bus to stay in his good graces. That employee said,
when people ask me about it, I always tell them
(06:21):
it was the worst experience I ever had in my life. Wow,
And they said it was called somebody threw a brick.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
That's what they call it.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Working in that office out of the blue if he
was unhappy with something, you might not have done, but
he thought you did, you caught a brick. And they
said that's when he basically would verbally attack you. And
this one employee said he was verbally attacked until I
was surrounded by security guards who rushed over while he's
six inches from my face screaming at me, telling me
I eft up.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
That's when I learned what a brick is.
Speaker 10 (06:51):
Wow, those who wants to work for Diddy episodes are
going to hit different now those Yeah, man, remember Laverne
Cox was a contestant on that.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I didn't even remember that. Well listen.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
And one former Blue Flame employee that's his marketing agency,
said a lot of calling women's the B word, fu
or stupid or off fire. Y'all be's right now. She
said she'd never seen him be like that with men
unless they had no power or stature in the industry.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Wow, So not the Diddler.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
That is just some of the experiences from people who
used to work there.
Speaker 11 (07:21):
All right.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Jennifer Lopez has canceled her twenty twenty four tour.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
This is me.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Oh no, shut up, bet that you don't like j Lo.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
She made the announcement on Friday in her on the
JLO fan newsletter. She is taking time off to be
with her children, family and close friends. You know, we've
been telling you certain tour dates have been canceled. They
were talking about issues with ticket sales, and yeah, seven
tour days have been canceled. Prior to that, they were
talking about this Vegas residency. Maybe that's not going to happen.
(07:51):
Now they may have rescinded that offer, but if you
have tickets to see j Lo, those tickets will be refunded.
Speaker 4 (07:58):

Speaker 3 (08:10):
I'm still j there we go, yeah, all right, well
that is your yet when we come back, we have
about last night. That's where we discussed what we did
last night went on whether you watched a movie a
series on television.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
I'm gonna tell you about the show that I was
watching on TV.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
All right, and see if you guys, if anybody else
has seen it, it's on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
All right.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
It's way up. About last night is next? Let's hear
some dra.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
So about last night went down?
Speaker 3 (08:40):
All right, it's way up. I'm angela yee beat out,
wandered off. But we're doing about last night. And I
wanted to talk about a show that I was watching
on Netflix. It's called Tires and it's a six episode series.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Have you seen it?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Dan? I haven't. I was actually watching Eric over the weekend. Okay,
what's Eric? Is like a kidnapping story? Continue about Tires
because I'm a Shane Gillis fan.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
All right, Well, Shane Gillis actually plays a guy named Shane. Okay,
and it's about an auto repair chain and the I
guess the guy's father owns the auto repair store and
he's in charge of this particular chain. Shane is his cousin,
and they just do it's a lot of male humor.
And I thought about it because I've always had to
like bring my car in for repairs and it's such
(09:26):
a male dominated space when you go to like an
auto repair shop. So the kind of jokes that they
make there's one episode where they're trying to make the
environment more friendly for women. Hey, beat, I hi, bathroom
and a journalist comes in to do an article on
them and how they're making the space, you know, friendlier
toward women. And all they basically did was put up
(09:46):
signs like you know, we're friendly for women or.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Something like that, and that was the reason.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
And they make the most inappropriate jokes, and they were
doing it in front of the reporter. But it's a funny,
like guy humor, stupid humor type of show.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
You'll probably like it.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
It's up Yeah, it's right up your ally when I
tell you, because I was like chuckling at it while
I was watching it certain things like I was doing
stuff in my house, so I didn't want to have
to like concentrate too hard on a plot. So that's
the kind of thing that you can watch if you
just want to get a quick laugh.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
All right, Bet, I'm putting on my to do list.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
What did you do?
Speaker 1 (10:16):

There was a massive order main break, and so the
city of Atlanta was experiencing that they had to reschedule

Speaker 10 (19:40):
I think that's a hit piece, man, Like the biggest
conversation piece this year is Drake and Kendrick. Like hip
hop can be quantified just solely on numbers, if that's
the only gauge that they're going by.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Right, and according to their musicologists and historian Zachary Diaz
told Newsweek, there has been a musical gentrification of hip
hop has seeing corporations and big music labels try to
profit from its popularity. This has led to a dilution
of the sound that hip hop appears in all kinds
of music, movies, and advertisements that's crossed over into other genres,
so there's not even a clear idea of what hip
(20:13):
hop is anymore.
Speaker 10 (20:14):
Have you seen that guy's picture? He looks like Chris Fawley, Man, Like,
I'm not listening to zach Zachary Diaz, so you're saying
he is he is the colonizer? What are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Man?
Speaker 3 (20:23):
All right, well, listen, it's definitely an interesting read because
they also refer to Drake and Kendrick in there as well,
and you know they're also in this article saying that
bad actors and hip hop have spoiled its image and authenticity.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Bad actors. What is Scott talking about? Man?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I feel like the gentrification maybe what spoiled its authenticity
in that case. All right, well, that is you're under
the radar now. You know, we have the Way Up
mixed at the top of the hours.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Keep that under the Radarlus.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Shelley Williams is going to be joining us.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
She is the director of The Notebook and The Whiz
at the same time, and also the director of Ada,
and she's also a black woman.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
All right, it's way.
Speaker 15 (21:02):
Up, just like the talk like they Angela Jean like
they Angelae Gee.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
And she's spilling it all this is.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Yet well, all right, it's way up am Angela Yee
and blogs is here aka b do Ak Ryan Millar.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
And let's get right into this.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Ye.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
I was watching all this transpire over the weekend between
Cardi b and be A.
Speaker 16 (21:26):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
By the way, I really like both of them a
lot like obviously you know, I'm a big fan of Cardi,
and I like Cardi, and I also really like Bia,
so that's tough. I've been watching her since Sisterhood of
Hip Hop. All right, so this all started, I guess
out in the open when be A disc Cardi.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
It was a sneak diss on the bed remix. Here's
what she said.
Speaker 9 (21:47):
I have just your population and that's so funny.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
That's so funny how you say you running down but
you can't walk on the bee.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
I even know I had a say.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
For me, all right, So people were speculating who was
that about? Well, Cardi and took some shot to be
it and this was, I feel like a lot more direct.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
This was on the one to be remix guests some
manticaus and she want to sub me.
Speaker 16 (22:06):
She said, well, I had no idea, so she was
on the shop I kill that want to.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
See a please, don't nobody want to looking looking great value?
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Me looking girl? These looking all right? Well.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Carti then went on live and gave a very detailed
explanation of what happened for the two of them to
not get along and you know, behind the scenes, and
she seems like she was a little confused. But they
did have a conversation on the phone prior to things
getting to this level.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Here's what she said.
Speaker 16 (22:39):
The conversation started very nasty, and then I called her
back and we ended up the conversation a very great note.
After we had the conversation, you went and you started
saying that I copied your music video. Then you did
a record you dissed me on it. Then you went
around line about my my man's vois is now that
I said something about you I addressed on a song.
Speaker 11 (23:01):
It's that.
Speaker 16 (23:01):
Oh so it was you that was going around saying
that and when you lie by my p make sure
the is legit because I'm gonna take you to court.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Who would take you to court? All right?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Well, Bia then put out a disc track and she
put this out fairly quickly, all right. It was called
sue Me. And here's what she had to say on
one part of it.
Speaker 16 (23:21):
Put it on your gang, put it on your name,
so she's okay, so let yours.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Put it on your hobby, so you look riting on
your go write it on my verses.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
I can't do it.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I'll pay it inside my house.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Your money's going you split that.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Ground. So she hadn't give me my flowers.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
I was up in a box and they said, I'm
good in the South.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
And by the way, this is her in the studio.
She asked them to play it, so she's on live
playing it. It's not like the actual version of the song.
But you know, Cartie's main thing was she doesn't want
her lying about you know, a sex tape and her
cheating on offset and things like that. And here's some
more of what Bea had to say.
Speaker 16 (24:00):
See a Cardie Crown night, catch another.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Tube because you couldn't catch a beat.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Do I beef you or do I be for party?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
You've been stepping since twenty nineteen. Yeah, I mean there's
a lot more to it, and she said a lot
more on it.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
You didn't like that hook at all.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I definitely thought it was fun. I like the beat.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
And you know the thing is, Cardi said she has
no problem if they are going to go back and
forth on track.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
She's just yeah, there's a there's a problem.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Do you think Cardi should respond?
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I don't think Cardi respects her. That's the problem.
Speaker 10 (24:34):
Like Biya is in a lose lose situation with this
because even if she has ether for her, she's you know,
has a lower profile than Cardi.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Well, I think that when stuff like this happens, you actually,
if you have an ether like that, you can do
what Nas did.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
When it came to jay Z.
Speaker 10 (24:50):
It was evenly match. It was like evenly yoked a
little bit, you know what I'm saying. I just think that,
you know, she's operating from behind the eight ball at
this point. I don't think she looks at her as
a formal old poem. She was even saying, hey, go
BEA's music, like Cardi doesn't care, you know.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
And it's interesting because Carti did reach out and have
a conversation with her, so she clearly was trying to
squash things, you know, behind the scenes. So I don't
know if there's more to it than this. It also
feels kind of out of character for bea. Yeah, to
see her doing something like this, But you know everybody's
watching all the beefs that are happening back and forth
between different people right now.
Speaker 10 (25:21):
So yeah, if you kind of come at Cardi, you
gotta come a little bit harder than that, all right.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Or maybe it's like what Kendrick did when you take
these little jabs first, Yeah, and then maybe you have
something else in store in case they respond hopefully all right,
Well that is your yee t. When we come back,
we have ask yee eight hundred two nine two fifty
one fifty is a number. Call us up anything that
you have a question about. We are here to help
you out. In the meantime. Here's some Cardi B this way,
whether it's.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
Relationship or career advice. Angela's dropping facts.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
This is as Kee.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
What's up? As way up? But Angela yee.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
I'm Angela Yee and my guy Brian malar Aka beat
out his here gotch and we're doing ask ye eight
hundred fifty one fifty. We have do well on the line.
What's up, duel?
Speaker 5 (26:04):
What's what's up?
Speaker 11 (26:05):
So?
Speaker 4 (26:05):
What's up? What's your question today?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
So my question is recently on how this situation is
with me and my girl and I wound up cheating
on her, but she wanted to know the whole truth,
the whole nine yards of the whole thing, and I
wanted to know just like why she needed that full closure,
Like why couldn't she just leave that what it is?
Speaker 5 (26:23):
What it was?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
If she didn't just leave it at that, and then
if you could move on and fix things.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
But it's hard to move on when you don't know
all the details. You know, sometimes you need to know everything,
because hey, now there's somebody out there that knows more
than I do about what happened between the two of you, Right,
so if she ever tried to contact her or something
like that, I need to be able to be like
he already told me that. Think about the power that
a woman has when she could tell the other women
(26:48):
that you cheated on I already know. We discussed it,
and he told me because then later on things will
end up coming up, and when those things come up,
it's like it starts all over again. You might as
well get it all out there one and rip that
band aid off because things will come up in the
future when you cheat on somebody they are going to
bring it up over and over again.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Have you ever treated be that?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
No, I'm a faithful black man.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
I'm gonna say he's a liar.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Did you have an issue with telling her everything?
Speaker 15 (27:16):
No?
Speaker 2 (27:17):
When you know, once you found out, I just, you know,
told everything that she wanted to know.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
And you know what, did you want to know if
it was you?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Yeah, I guess, I guess. But I mean, like for me,
I think I would leave it as this. You know,
you hurt me, you broke my heart, you give it away.
I'm gonna just leave it at that. Yeah, it's gonna
be on my mind. But other than that, I'm gonna
try to leave it at that.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Yeah, let podons be bygones.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Man, are you guys still together?
Speaker 8 (27:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (27:39):
Nah.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Now I'm trying to get her back. I'm trying to
get her back.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
I don't know what to do money, patience.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
I think you know, patients, work on yourself in the meantime,
because I think for women, we need you to show
us you know, and that's a long process for us
to be able to trust you.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Again.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
You have to do a lot of different things to
show us it may happen and her it may not
it's really up to her at this point. But anything
that she needs, you need to provide that. You know,
you're in a doghouse right now and a lot of times,
and I've seen it happen. You know, at first she's
disgusted by you. But if you're consistent, if you can
be honest moving forward, if there's no questions, if you don't. Also,
(28:17):
by the way, you might feel like we're not together,
but I'm still dating other people.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Terrible idea.
Speaker 10 (28:22):
Listen, her love languages are probably cash, app venmozel.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
It's true. It is the truth. Right, Oh my god,
I'm bro get your girl back.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
All right, guys, all right, well, thank you for calling in.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
Good luck to.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
You you too.
Speaker 15 (28:39):
Man.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
All right, take her to her Broadway play.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
You know, we have Shelley Williams coming up when we
come back, and she is the director of The Whiz
the Notebook. If we take her to go see The Notebook,
oh my god, that might do it right now. No,
he's not. It's on Broadway. It's a musical. It's a
little different than the original. Yes, and also Aida, so
she'll be joining us. She's a woman director, black woman.
(29:02):
But by the way, super overly qualified for this.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
So you way up with Angela Yee more, now.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
What's up his way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee.
And how exciting Shelley Williams is here with me. Hey, listen,
we were just before this interview even started having a
lot of conversations about Broadway and I was telling you
I took my mom to see Aita twice and you
were in it.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
You did the whole round with Tony Braxton.
Speaker 15 (29:26):
I did the whole run, yeah, Tony, Heather Deborah Cox, Wow,
the whole run.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
And now so wait, Aida is coming back too, right,
Aida is coming back. Yes, that's amazing that revival. Okay,
that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Now, that's a full circle moment, right it is. So
talk to me about how exciting that was to get
that call and what it was like when you were
actually in the Broadway play.
Speaker 15 (29:48):
It was transformation to get that call because I had
been thinking about that story ever since I did it.
Right when I finished Aita is when I became a director,
because I had gone through show that was about enslaved
people and we didn't have the conversations about blackness, about
African culture in the ways that I had wished, and
(30:10):
I came out of that production thinking I want to
become the person behind the table so I can begin
to shift these narratives and have the conversations. And so
I got the privilege a few years ago to be
asked by Disney to reimagine a new Ida, and I
have entrenched it in an African history.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Broadway director Shelley Williams is here with us. Broadway in
particular is a place that for myself, I love going
to place and I love taking my friends, and I
really am always trying to advocate for us to go
to the theatre more because I feel like it's such
a great experience.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
And that brings me to The Notebook.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Can you talk about this because it's a musical way,
and so you're directing the Notebook. This is your directorial
Broadway debut.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Right, It's correct?
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Yes, Okay, So we got to get into all of
that because the Notebook is an iconic love story and
I heard they're selling Kleenex in the theater.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Well, I mean we kind of had to.
Speaker 15 (31:06):
It was like, we got to give people's sleeves a break.
People are passingly next in the aisles, past people were like, okay,
we'll let you have your own box.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
How about that.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Yeah, so tell me about reimagining the Notebook as a
musical lumbroadway.
Speaker 15 (31:23):
So I was approached about this piece in twenty twenty,
and I co directed with my dear friend Michael Grife.
But he said, we're telling this piece in a different
kind of way, and we are imagining a world in
which the Alleys and Noah's represent many racial cultures, and
we want to talk with you about that because it's
really important that we're representing them authentically.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Ooh, okay, And I said, well, let me read it.
Speaker 15 (31:48):
And my mom has Alzheimer's And so as I was
reading this, I was living it.
Speaker 11 (31:54):
You know.
Speaker 15 (31:54):
My dad is Noah, my mom is Ali, their high
school sweethearts. It was just like it hit me so hard.
And because they were imagining the younger Ali's as black,
I knew how important it was to expand this narrative
to us too, to say the story belongs to us.
We also know this kind of love. We also know
(32:16):
the pain of Alzheimer's. We also have the joy of
first love. It was an opportunity to say that we
belong inside these stories.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Okay, Shelley Williams is here. She is the Broadway director
for The Whiz, for Aida, and of course for The Notebook.
It's on Broadway right now. We have more with her
when we come back as way Up.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
You rab It, Way Up with Angela Yee more now.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
What's up his way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
I'm Angela Yee, and I am the first one to
tell you the best date night or the best friend
date is to go to our Broadway play Family Experience.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
And right now we.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Have a director from Broadway, Shelley Williams joining us. You
decided it's time for me to move behind the scenes. Yes,
as well? Would you ever go back to being imagine it?
You can't imagine it? So you like this scene?
Speaker 15 (33:08):
I love it. I love it so much, especially telling
young black actors it's okay to take up space the
amount of people that cry in my audition room because
I just give them permission to be their full selves
when they walk in and they think they always have
to be in the box that they expect that you
want them to be in. But to say, I want
(33:29):
you to be as expansive as you want to be.
I want to know that your authentic voice is the
voice that I want to hear, not the voice that
was trained you were trained to be, but your truth
is what I value and what I want to see.
And just giving them permission to be their full selves.
I can't imagine not doing that.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Wow, listen, and it feels like you're doing an amazing
job from the gigs that you've been getting because it's
like you're simultaneously directing two plays right now. Yeah, that's
that's tough. Broadway director Shelley Williams is here with us.
Is that a common thing in Broadway? I didn't think so.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Yeah, certainly not with musicals.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
And then you also have two daughters. Yes, How do
you deal with all of that in the midst of
there there?
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 15 (34:15):
Well, at some point I'm always failing somebody, right, But
you know, every day I have to forgive myself and
I just have to try harder and course correct, right,
and every day I model.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
For my girls.
Speaker 8 (34:27):
You know.
Speaker 15 (34:28):
There's this my favorite gospel song as we fall down,
you know, but I'm like, hey, you know, every day
I get back up again, right. And So in this
year that was so challenging. I communicated a lot Okay,
like really was very clear.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
You know, my husband is amazing. We have a great village.
Speaker 15 (34:45):
We talked about where I needed to be, when I
needed to be, the things that I knew I was
going to miss. I was going to miss them in
their own musical. I was going to miss some really
big moments in their lives. There were events that happened
for the Notebook that I was going to miss because
I was working all the Whiz Like, there were just.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Like wow things that those are hard priorities.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
They're hard priorities. But all I can do is my best.
Speaker 16 (35:07):
Man.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
I do not know how you do it all, but
I just want to say it seems like you're doing
it all to an amazing exceptional level. So I just
want to make sure and I know that, like you've
been getting your accolades, but they are well deserved.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
I feel like this is just your time. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
I mean, it's been your time. But just to see
everything that you've been accomplishing, you know, these are like huge,
huge deals. I mean, the Notebook, the Whiz. Sometimes you
got to just sit back and think, like.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Thank you Jesus.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Yeah, I think that a lot.
Speaker 3 (35:37):

graduated as valedictorian from the Walter elkoh In High School

class of twenty twenty four this spring. Annie is planning
to attend college this fall. He was living in Covenant
House and attribute to his success to all of the
people at the shelter and school who went out of
their way to help him excel, as well as his
own hard work and determination. And you know it's according
to one of the people who works there, jar Kayla Cobb,
(02:12):
the Hogan's Rights to Passages case worker, she said she
watched him come out of his shell. She said, being
in a homeless shelter is traumatic. Whatever you went through
to get you here is traumatic. He was very shy,
he had very little words at first. So it's awesome
to see how much he has developed and become so
well spoken over the last seven or eight months. So
now he's going to attend Xavier University of Louisiana this fall.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
That is the title of this Daily Beast exclusive.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
It's way up, they says in the rooms.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
From industry shade to all of gods. Angela's feeling that.
Speaker 4 (04:03):

Yat priam at Ow is here journalist extraordinaire.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
All right.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
First, let's get into this Nicki Minaj arrest. Now, if
you guys recall she was arrested in Amsterdam last weekend
and she definitely felt like she was treated disgusting by
the authorities.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
If you recall, she said this on station head.
Speaker 9 (04:24):
I don't know when was the last time I felt
that low, And not only that, but just knowing that
something is being done to you on purpose, simply because
you are a confident other race.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Now the BBC is saying that Dutch police have rejected this.
They said, we just do our job and it's protocol
to search luggage and arrested person when we find drugs.
They said they are a professional organization and treats everybody
equal no matter what. And they said she had been
carrying thirty to one hundred grams of cannabis, but she
said they were pre rolls that belonged to her security guard.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Fathing like this is an episode of To Catch a
Smuggler or something like that.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
By the way, the crazy part is in Amsterdam, that
was one of the first places everybody used to go
to all the time, with the coffee shops and stuff
like that to smoke.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
They need a rebrand, Yeah, passed the Dutch indeed.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Okay, and now that was very clever.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Let's talk about this Daily Beast exclusive about Ditty. It's
called Blood Threats and Tears Inside Ditty's Nightmare Workplace. In
this article, five different ex employees of Ditty talked about
his behavior. Now, there were some people that said they
didn't feel that it would escalate to this point of
violence of what they saw on the tape. But one
female Sean John Ex employee talked about the time that
(05:39):
he grabbed her face following a disagreement about a creative decision.
She said, he didn't like that I wasn't agreeing with him,
and he started to yell and compared himself to Carl Lagerfeldt.
Then he said he told her to stick out your tongue.
He put his hands on both sides of her cheeks
and started squeezing her face really hard. And then when
she stuck out her tongue, she said he wanted to
(06:00):
see if her tongue was bleeding because she was clearly
biting it. And she said I started to look for
a job immediately after that moment. Another employee said the
work environment was like game of thrones. Everybody was walking
on eggshells and some colleagues would throw others under the
bus to stay in his good graces. That employee said,
when people ask me about it, I always tell them
(06:21):
it was the worst experience I ever had in my life. Wow,
And they said it was called somebody threw a brick.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
That's what they call it.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Working in that office out of the blue if he
was unhappy with something, you might not have done, but
he thought you did, you caught a brick. And they
said that's when he basically would verbally attack you. And
this one employee said he was verbally attacked until I
was surrounded by security guards who rushed over while he's
six inches from my face screaming at me, telling me
I eft up.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
That's when I learned what a brick is.
Speaker 10 (06:51):
Wow, those who wants to work for Diddy episodes are
going to hit different now those Yeah, man, remember Laverne
Cox was a contestant on that.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I didn't even remember that. Well listen.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
And one former Blue Flame employee that's his marketing agency,
said a lot of calling women's the B word, fu
or stupid or off fire. Y'all be's right now. She
said she'd never seen him be like that with men
unless they had no power or stature in the industry.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Wow, So not the Diddler.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
That is just some of the experiences from people who
used to work there.
Speaker 11 (07:21):
All right.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Jennifer Lopez has canceled her twenty twenty four tour.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
This is me.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Oh no, shut up, bet that you don't like j Lo.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
She made the announcement on Friday in her on the
JLO fan newsletter. She is taking time off to be
with her children, family and close friends. You know, we've
been telling you certain tour dates have been canceled. They
were talking about issues with ticket sales, and yeah, seven
tour days have been canceled. Prior to that, they were
talking about this Vegas residency. Maybe that's not going to happen.
(07:51):
Now they may have rescinded that offer, but if you
have tickets to see j Lo, those tickets will be refunded.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
According to the newsletter.
Speaker 10 (08:00):
Jimmy's Cafe or something like that, the residency over there?
What right off the Grand concourse?
Speaker 4 (08:04):
What's your favorite j Low song?
Speaker 10 (08:06):
The one she was on the block, the one with
the Okay, yeah, that's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
I'm still j there we go, yeah, all right, well
that is your yet when we come back, we have
about last night. That's where we discussed what we did
last night went on whether you watched a movie a
series on television.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
I'm gonna tell you about the show that I was
watching on TV.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
All right, and see if you guys, if anybody else
has seen it, it's on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
All right.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
It's way up. About last night is next? Let's hear
some dra.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
So about last night went down?
Speaker 3 (08:40):
All right, it's way up. I'm angela yee beat out,
wandered off. But we're doing about last night. And I
wanted to talk about a show that I was watching
on Netflix. It's called Tires and it's a six episode series.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Have you seen it?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Dan? I haven't. I was actually watching Eric over the weekend. Okay,
what's Eric? Is like a kidnapping story? Continue about Tires
because I'm a Shane Gillis fan.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
All right, Well, Shane Gillis actually plays a guy named Shane. Okay,
and it's about an auto repair chain and the I
guess the guy's father owns the auto repair store and
he's in charge of this particular chain. Shane is his cousin,
and they just do it's a lot of male humor.
And I thought about it because I've always had to
like bring my car in for repairs and it's such
(09:26):
a male dominated space when you go to like an
auto repair shop. So the kind of jokes that they
make there's one episode where they're trying to make the
environment more friendly for women. Hey, beat, I hi, bathroom
and a journalist comes in to do an article on
them and how they're making the space, you know, friendlier
toward women. And all they basically did was put up
(09:46):
signs like you know, we're friendly for women or.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Something like that, and that was the reason.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
And they make the most inappropriate jokes, and they were
doing it in front of the reporter. But it's a funny,
like guy humor, stupid humor type of show.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
You'll probably like it.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
It's up Yeah, it's right up your ally when I
tell you, because I was like chuckling at it while
I was watching it certain things like I was doing
stuff in my house, so I didn't want to have
to like concentrate too hard on a plot. So that's
the kind of thing that you can watch if you
just want to get a quick laugh.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
All right, Bet, I'm putting on my to do list.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
What did you do?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I was doing activities anctivities, yeah, you know.
Speaker 10 (10:19):

lawn things like that.
Speaker 3 (10:23):

in the game, and like when Kim was in his
fourth year, he kind of had that the edge to him,

her concent in Atlanta has been postponed for the second time.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
We're happing.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
You know, they were having some issues at State Farm Arena.
There was a massive order main break, and so the
city of Atlanta was experiencing that they had to reschedule
the show, and then it ended up getting canceled and
well postponed, not canceled for a second time. So I'm
sure that's disappointing for people who had tickets just out
of their control though. Wow, all right, but yeah, so
that did happen, but they did actually, after several delays,
(17:29):
managed to do the show and Latto actually debuted the
remix to Sunday Service, So there you go, there you go.
Speaker 4 (17:37):

And Meg the Stallion also has a release date and
cover art for her new album, Megan. She said, surprise, hotties,
my new album, Megan will be coming out June twenty eighth.
Click the link and bio to presave now. So she
announced it and it's coming out quick.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
That's right around the corner.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yeah, that's in how many weeks? Yeah, that's a little
more than three weeks, all right. And there are also
rumors of a Beyonce Vegas residency. After a Live Nation
teaser was post it said, Vegas, hold your horses wild horses.
That is big announcement coming tomorrow. And then it looks
like Beyonce in the shadows.
Speaker 10 (18:08):
I think girls are still paying off their renaissance tickets.
Mandy going for the now.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
You gotta do a whole trip, all right, all right?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
And lastly, Thames has delivered a Tiny Desk performance where
she previewed a new song called Born in the Wild.
Speaker 4 (18:21):

Speaker 3 (18:33):
Wow, tiny desk already, Tiny desk already. I mean she
is a global star. She did right for Rihanna, she
did collaborate with Beyonce already, So it just seems like.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Tiny Desk is more for like the legacy X.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Yeah, but she's got some good hits. I think it
says people we also like to see perform live, so
maybe they're mixing it up. All right, Well that is
your Yet when we come back, we have under the radar.
These are the stories that are not necessarily in the headlines.
They're under the radar. And there's a whole article about
hip hop declining in popularity.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Way that was a newsweek it's way.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
Up the news news.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
This in the news that relates to you these stories
are flying under the radar.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
All right, it's way. I'm Amandela ye beat out his hereat,
I'm here. I got this story in particular for you.
This was in Newsweek, and it says hip hop is
declining in popularity onion. Back in twenty eighteen, hip hop's
have passed back and roll to become the most popular
music genre in the US. But now they're saying, in
twenty twenty three, which is the fiftieth anniversary of hip hop, right,
(19:34):
that music genre seems to be losing its appeal.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
I don't see it, but I don't know. Beat out.
You read this article, what do you think?
Speaker 10 (19:40):
I think that's a hit piece, man, Like the biggest
conversation piece this year is Drake and Kendrick. Like hip
hop can be quantified just solely on numbers, if that's
the only gauge that they're going by.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Right, and according to their musicologists and historian Zachary Diaz
told Newsweek, there has been a musical gentrification of hip
hop has seeing corporations and big music labels try to
profit from its popularity. This has led to a dilution
of the sound that hip hop appears in all kinds
of music, movies, and advertisements that's crossed over into other genres,
so there's not even a clear idea of what hip
(20:13):
hop is anymore.
Speaker 10 (20:14):
Have you seen that guy's picture? He looks like Chris Fawley, Man, Like,
I'm not listening to zach Zachary Diaz, so you're saying
he is he is the colonizer? What are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Man?
Speaker 3 (20:23):
All right, well, listen, it's definitely an interesting read because
they also refer to Drake and Kendrick in there as well,
and you know they're also in this article saying that
bad actors and hip hop have spoiled its image and authenticity.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Bad actors. What is Scott talking about? Man?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I feel like the gentrification maybe what spoiled its authenticity
in that case. All right, well, that is you're under
the radar now. You know, we have the Way Up
mixed at the top of the hours.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Keep that under the Radarlus.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Shelley Williams is going to be joining us.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
She is the director of The Notebook and The Whiz
at the same time, and also the director of Ada,
and she's also a black woman.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
All right, it's way.
Speaker 15 (21:02):
Up, just like the talk like they Angela Jean like
they Angelae Gee.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
And she's spilling it all this is.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Yet well, all right, it's way up am Angela Yee
and blogs is here aka b do Ak Ryan Millar.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
And let's get right into this.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Ye.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
I was watching all this transpire over the weekend between
Cardi b and be A.
Speaker 16 (21:26):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
By the way, I really like both of them a
lot like obviously you know, I'm a big fan of Cardi,
and I like Cardi, and I also really like Bia,
so that's tough. I've been watching her since Sisterhood of
Hip Hop. All right, so this all started, I guess
out in the open when be A disc Cardi.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
It was a sneak diss on the bed remix. Here's
what she said.
Speaker 9 (21:47):
I have just your population and that's so funny.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
That's so funny how you say you running down but
you can't walk on the bee.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
I even know I had a say.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
For me, all right, So people were speculating who was
that about? Well, Cardi and took some shot to be
it and this was, I feel like a lot more direct.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
This was on the one to be remix guests some
manticaus and she want to sub me.
Speaker 16 (22:06):
She said, well, I had no idea, so she was
on the shop I kill that want to.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
See a please, don't nobody want to looking looking great value?
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Me looking girl? These looking all right? Well.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Carti then went on live and gave a very detailed
explanation of what happened for the two of them to
not get along and you know, behind the scenes, and
she seems like she was a little confused. But they
did have a conversation on the phone prior to things
getting to this level.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Here's what she said.
Speaker 16 (22:39):
The conversation started very nasty, and then I called her
back and we ended up the conversation a very great note.
After we had the conversation, you went and you started
saying that I copied your music video. Then you did
a record you dissed me on it. Then you went
around line about my my man's vois is now that
I said something about you I addressed on a song.
Speaker 11 (23:01):
It's that.
Speaker 16 (23:01):
Oh so it was you that was going around saying
that and when you lie by my p make sure
the is legit because I'm gonna take you to court.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Who would take you to court? All right?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Well, Bia then put out a disc track and she
put this out fairly quickly, all right. It was called
sue Me. And here's what she had to say on
one part of it.
Speaker 16 (23:21):
Put it on your gang, put it on your name,
so she's okay, so let yours.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Put it on your hobby, so you look riting on
your go write it on my verses.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
I can't do it.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I'll pay it inside my house.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Your money's going you split that.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Ground. So she hadn't give me my flowers.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
I was up in a box and they said, I'm
good in the South.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
And by the way, this is her in the studio.
She asked them to play it, so she's on live
playing it. It's not like the actual version of the song.
But you know, Cartie's main thing was she doesn't want
her lying about you know, a sex tape and her
cheating on offset and things like that. And here's some
more of what Bea had to say.
Speaker 16 (24:00):
See a Cardie Crown night, catch another.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Tube because you couldn't catch a beat.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Do I beef you or do I be for party?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
You've been stepping since twenty nineteen. Yeah, I mean there's
a lot more to it, and she said a lot
more on it.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
You didn't like that hook at all.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I definitely thought it was fun. I like the beat.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
And you know the thing is, Cardi said she has
no problem if they are going to go back and
forth on track.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
She's just yeah, there's a there's a problem.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Do you think Cardi should respond?
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I don't think Cardi respects her. That's the problem.
Speaker 10 (24:34):
Like Biya is in a lose lose situation with this
because even if she has ether for her, she's you know,
has a lower profile than Cardi.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Well, I think that when stuff like this happens, you actually,
if you have an ether like that, you can do
what Nas did.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
When it came to jay Z.
Speaker 10 (24:50):
It was evenly match. It was like evenly yoked a
little bit, you know what I'm saying. I just think that,
you know, she's operating from behind the eight ball at
this point. I don't think she looks at her as
a formal old poem. She was even saying, hey, go
BEA's music, like Cardi doesn't care, you know.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
And it's interesting because Carti did reach out and have
a conversation with her, so she clearly was trying to
squash things, you know, behind the scenes. So I don't
know if there's more to it than this. It also
feels kind of out of character for bea. Yeah, to
see her doing something like this, But you know everybody's
watching all the beefs that are happening back and forth
between different people right now.
Speaker 10 (25:21):
So yeah, if you kind of come at Cardi, you
gotta come a little bit harder than that, all right.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Or maybe it's like what Kendrick did when you take
these little jabs first, Yeah, and then maybe you have
something else in store in case they respond hopefully all right,
Well that is your yee t. When we come back,
we have ask yee eight hundred two nine two fifty
one fifty is a number. Call us up anything that
you have a question about. We are here to help
you out. In the meantime. Here's some Cardi B this way,
whether it's.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
Relationship or career advice. Angela's dropping facts.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
This is as Kee.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
What's up? As way up? But Angela yee.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
I'm Angela Yee and my guy Brian malar Aka beat
out his here gotch and we're doing ask ye eight
hundred fifty one fifty. We have do well on the line.
What's up, duel?
Speaker 5 (26:04):
What's what's up?
Speaker 11 (26:05):
So?
Speaker 4 (26:05):
What's up? What's your question today?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
So my question is recently on how this situation is
with me and my girl and I wound up cheating
on her, but she wanted to know the whole truth,
the whole nine yards of the whole thing, and I
wanted to know just like why she needed that full closure,
Like why couldn't she just leave that what it is?
Speaker 5 (26:23):
What it was?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
If she didn't just leave it at that, and then
if you could move on and fix things.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
But it's hard to move on when you don't know
all the details. You know, sometimes you need to know everything,
because hey, now there's somebody out there that knows more
than I do about what happened between the two of you, Right,
so if she ever tried to contact her or something
like that, I need to be able to be like
he already told me that. Think about the power that
a woman has when she could tell the other women
(26:48):
that you cheated on I already know. We discussed it,
and he told me because then later on things will
end up coming up, and when those things come up,
it's like it starts all over again. You might as
well get it all out there one and rip that
band aid off because things will come up in the
future when you cheat on somebody they are going to
bring it up over and over again.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Have you ever treated be that?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
No, I'm a faithful black man.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
I'm gonna say he's a liar.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Did you have an issue with telling her everything?
Speaker 15 (27:16):
No?
Speaker 2 (27:17):
When you know, once you found out, I just, you know,
told everything that she wanted to know.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
And you know what, did you want to know if
it was you?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Yeah, I guess, I guess. But I mean, like for me,
I think I would leave it as this. You know,
you hurt me, you broke my heart, you give it away.
I'm gonna just leave it at that. Yeah, it's gonna
be on my mind. But other than that, I'm gonna
try to leave it at that.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Yeah, let podons be bygones.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Man, are you guys still together?
Speaker 8 (27:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (27:39):
Nah.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Now I'm trying to get her back. I'm trying to
get her back.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
I don't know what to do money, patience.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
I think you know, patients, work on yourself in the meantime,
because I think for women, we need you to show
us you know, and that's a long process for us
to be able to trust you.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Again.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
You have to do a lot of different things to
show us it may happen and her it may not
it's really up to her at this point. But anything
that she needs, you need to provide that. You know,
you're in a doghouse right now and a lot of times,
and I've seen it happen. You know, at first she's
disgusted by you. But if you're consistent, if you can
be honest moving forward, if there's no questions, if you don't. Also,
(28:17):
by the way, you might feel like we're not together,
but I'm still dating other people.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Terrible idea.
Speaker 10 (28:22):
Listen, her love languages are probably cash, app venmozel.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
It's true. It is the truth. Right, Oh my god,
I'm bro get your girl back.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
All right, guys, all right, well, thank you for calling in.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
Good luck to.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
You you too.
Speaker 15 (28:39):
Man.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
All right, take her to her Broadway play.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
You know, we have Shelley Williams coming up when we
come back, and she is the director of The Whiz
the Notebook. If we take her to go see The Notebook,
oh my god, that might do it right now. No,
he's not. It's on Broadway. It's a musical. It's a
little different than the original. Yes, and also Aida, so
she'll be joining us. She's a woman director, black woman.
(29:02):
But by the way, super overly qualified for this.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
So you way up with Angela Yee more, now.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
What's up his way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee.
And how exciting Shelley Williams is here with me. Hey, listen,
we were just before this interview even started having a
lot of conversations about Broadway and I was telling you
I took my mom to see Aita twice and you
were in it.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
You did the whole round with Tony Braxton.
Speaker 15 (29:26):
I did the whole run, yeah, Tony, Heather Deborah Cox, Wow,
the whole run.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
And now so wait, Aida is coming back too, right,
Aida is coming back. Yes, that's amazing that revival. Okay,
that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Now, that's a full circle moment, right it is. So
talk to me about how exciting that was to get
that call and what it was like when you were
actually in the Broadway play.
Speaker 15 (29:48):
It was transformation to get that call because I had
been thinking about that story ever since I did it.
Right when I finished Aita is when I became a director,
because I had gone through show that was about enslaved
people and we didn't have the conversations about blackness, about
African culture in the ways that I had wished, and
(30:10):
I came out of that production thinking I want to
become the person behind the table so I can begin
to shift these narratives and have the conversations. And so
I got the privilege a few years ago to be
asked by Disney to reimagine a new Ida, and I
have entrenched it in an African history.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Broadway director Shelley Williams is here with us. Broadway in
particular is a place that for myself, I love going
to place and I love taking my friends, and I
really am always trying to advocate for us to go
to the theatre more because I feel like it's such
a great experience.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
And that brings me to The Notebook.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Can you talk about this because it's a musical way,
and so you're directing the Notebook. This is your directorial
Broadway debut.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Right, It's correct?
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Yes, Okay, So we got to get into all of
that because the Notebook is an iconic love story and
I heard they're selling Kleenex in the theater.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Well, I mean we kind of had to.
Speaker 15 (31:06):
It was like, we got to give people's sleeves a break.
People are passingly next in the aisles, past people were like, okay,
we'll let you have your own box.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
How about that.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Yeah, so tell me about reimagining the Notebook as a
musical lumbroadway.
Speaker 15 (31:23):
So I was approached about this piece in twenty twenty,
and I co directed with my dear friend Michael Grife.
But he said, we're telling this piece in a different
kind of way, and we are imagining a world in
which the Alleys and Noah's represent many racial cultures, and
we want to talk with you about that because it's
really important that we're representing them authentically.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Ooh, okay, And I said, well, let me read it.
Speaker 15 (31:48):
And my mom has Alzheimer's And so as I was
reading this, I was living it.
Speaker 11 (31:54):
You know.
Speaker 15 (31:54):
My dad is Noah, my mom is Ali, their high
school sweethearts. It was just like it hit me so hard.
And because they were imagining the younger Ali's as black,
I knew how important it was to expand this narrative
to us too, to say the story belongs to us.
We also know this kind of love. We also know
(32:16):
the pain of Alzheimer's. We also have the joy of
first love. It was an opportunity to say that we
belong inside these stories.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Okay, Shelley Williams is here. She is the Broadway director
for The Whiz, for Aida, and of course for The Notebook.
It's on Broadway right now. We have more with her
when we come back as way Up.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
You rab It, Way Up with Angela Yee more now.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
What's up his way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
I'm Angela Yee, and I am the first one to
tell you the best date night or the best friend
date is to go to our Broadway play Family Experience.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
And right now we.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Have a director from Broadway, Shelley Williams joining us. You
decided it's time for me to move behind the scenes. Yes,
as well? Would you ever go back to being imagine it?
You can't imagine it? So you like this scene?
Speaker 15 (33:08):
I love it. I love it so much, especially telling
young black actors it's okay to take up space the
amount of people that cry in my audition room because
I just give them permission to be their full selves
when they walk in and they think they always have
to be in the box that they expect that you
want them to be in. But to say, I want
(33:29):
you to be as expansive as you want to be.
I want to know that your authentic voice is the
voice that I want to hear, not the voice that
was trained you were trained to be, but your truth
is what I value and what I want to see.
And just giving them permission to be their full selves.
I can't imagine not doing that.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Wow, listen, and it feels like you're doing an amazing
job from the gigs that you've been getting because it's
like you're simultaneously directing two plays right now. Yeah, that's
that's tough. Broadway director Shelley Williams is here with us.
Is that a common thing in Broadway? I didn't think so.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Yeah, certainly not with musicals.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
And then you also have two daughters. Yes, How do
you deal with all of that in the midst of
there there?
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 15 (34:15):
Well, at some point I'm always failing somebody, right, But
you know, every day I have to forgive myself and
I just have to try harder and course correct, right,
and every day I model.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
For my girls.
Speaker 8 (34:27):
You know.
Speaker 15 (34:28):
There's this my favorite gospel song as we fall down,
you know, but I'm like, hey, you know, every day
I get back up again, right. And So in this
year that was so challenging. I communicated a lot Okay,
like really was very clear.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
You know, my husband is amazing. We have a great village.
Speaker 15 (34:45):
We talked about where I needed to be, when I
needed to be, the things that I knew I was
going to miss. I was going to miss them in
their own musical. I was going to miss some really
big moments in their lives. There were events that happened
for the Notebook that I was going to miss because
I was working all the Whiz Like, there were just.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Like wow things that those are hard priorities.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
They're hard priorities. But all I can do is my best.
Speaker 16 (35:07):
Man.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
I do not know how you do it all, but
I just want to say it seems like you're doing
it all to an amazing exceptional level. So I just
want to make sure and I know that, like you've
been getting your accolades, but they are well deserved.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
I feel like this is just your time. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
I mean, it's been your time. But just to see
everything that you've been accomplishing, you know, these are like huge,
huge deals. I mean, the Notebook, the Whiz. Sometimes you
got to just sit back and think, like.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Thank you Jesus.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Yeah, I think that a lot.
