to start off with giving our condolences to IRV Gotti's family. Unfortunately,
at the age of fifty four, he has passed away.
We'll tell you what people are saying about this online.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
It's way up to say in the rooms industry, shade
to all of gossip out angels spilling that et.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
It's way up at Angela yee. I'm here with Tella.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
H all right, And unfortunately IRV Gotti has passed away.
Multiple sources close to his family say that he did
die Wednesday in New York City. I'm unclear exactly how
he died. From what I heard, he was having health issues.
He had that stroke. He had a stroke last year,
and I guess things were better for a period of time,
(04:29):
and you just never know what can happen.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
When he suffered his stroke.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
A rep said that diabetes was a factor, but they
said he did improve his diet as a result. Now,
a lot of people went on social media to express
their condolences. Jaru put a broken heart emoji. Jamie Fox said, Wow,
rest in power, my brother. Your music and your legacy
will never be forgotten.
Speaker 9 (04:48):
IRV.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
You have spread a lot of love and a lot
of wisdom to everyone that you met.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Rest up. Kanye put a dove with the flowers.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Uncle Rush Russell Simmons posted, please don't let e IRV
Gotti go without acknowledging the tragedy of his death and
of black men's and women's health in America. Fat Joe said,
what a genius. God bless you, IRV. Thank you for
all you've done for hip hop. You've changed my life
and I will always love you. Now, I do want
to acknowledge that we've interviewed him a couple of times
and IRV Gott he was great at talking. He did
(05:20):
that Drink Tams episode a couple of times. And one
thing that he talked about when we sat down with him,
Philip Service, was his b to documentary that came out
in twenty twenty two called The Murder Ink Story. It
was a three part series and here's what he had
to say while he was promoting that.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
And you know, I.
Speaker 11 (05:37):
Really like it because he captures the true IRV Goya,
the true Irving Lorenzo starts off me and my family
when I'm a kid, and it just lets everyone know
it's for my family, talks about when my dad gets
laid off, and that's what inspired me.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
I wasn't taking life seriously to me.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
But that's important because I feel like sometimes people do
documentaries from their point of.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
View and they leave out a lot of it because
the don't want to.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Loved, So make sure I'm sure people are going to
go and rewatch that. Yeah, you know again, all right,
Wendy Williams guardian will now have a new mental evaluation
for her. The court appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, who everybody
has issues with, has informed the judge about Wendy's recent
interviews where she says she does not have frontal temporal
(06:22):
dementia that was the original diagnosis that landed her in
an assisted living facility. And so now they're saying that
they want to be transparent about Wendy's condition and they
think it would be prudent for her to undergo a
new medical evaluation that will involve comprehensive neurological and psychological
testing by a specialist in the field. They also want
the judge to put the any lawsuit on Ice penning
(06:43):
the results of the new evaluation. But you know, Wendy
has expressed that she wants to get out of there
and that she feels like she's okay, well I don't know. Yeah,
so we're going to see what ends up happening with that.
But I just couldn't imagine not having access to my money,
not being able the movies. I want not being able
to see my family. So this also, I think calls
(07:04):
into a bigger question about court appointed guardians and how
those laws need to change. All right, well that is
your ut. When we come back, we have about last night.
That's where we discussed what we did last night. It's
way up night.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
So about last night, I went down It's way up
with Angela.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yee, I'm here. My girl Chella is here.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
So Tella's visiting from Chicago. And one thing I have
to say is coming to New York. You see how
much every single day I do. And she was like,
I just can we just be in the house, just
a couple of just for a couple of hours, just
for one night.
Speaker 8 (07:42):
But I love it.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Though my phone is on. Sorry guys, that's so irresponsible
to me. But yes, and so you kind of took
it easy a little bit last night, right.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
Yeah, Yesilla got some work done though.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
All right.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, I actually was, of course at my coffee shop.
So shout out to Barry Cooper from bro Experience. He
came to meet with me. He's an educator also, and
he has his nonprofit Real He works a lot with
young men and we're just talking about different things that
we can do in conjunction with each other at the
coffee shop. But what he was saying is a lot
of social workers and a lot of teachers like to
(08:16):
hang out after, you know, after work hours, and so
maybe there's some type of mixer that we can do
there that's a regular thing. So I'm looking forward to
doing some things like that, you know, I having a
business and wanting to make sure that you're active in
the community.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
That is part of, you know, what it is that
I want to do.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And I think in particular now as we're watching what's
happening with DEI going away with a lot of these
corporations that were acting like they were doing things because
they cared about the community, and now we realize if
they don't have to do it, they won't. It just
makes me feel like we got to go a lot harder.
I've been seeing a lot of businesses closing down. Yeah,
it's really rough. And along those lines, I want to
(08:56):
talk about this interview that to Share Simmons did with
Carlos King.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
T Shara Simmons is DMX's ex wife. They were actually
married and they were together from when they were really young,
and she was on Carlos King talking about some of
the bad business decisions that DMX made when he had
the opportunity to be involved with a lot of different things.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Here's what she had to say. They asked X about
the Barclay Center.
Speaker 12 (09:22):
They called him and said Jay is in and they
want to know if you want to put in a
million dollars to get in. Unfortunately, I hate to say ignorant,
but it's when you're ignorant and we don't have any
real business sense. Ex didn't want to do it. And
now look, huh.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Are there regrets Tella that you have that maybe when
you were younger, you had the opportunity to do something
and you're like, man, I should have did that. I
remember talking to Uncle Murder and he was talking about
buying bitcoin early on because somebody told him to do
it and that helped him a lot.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Yeah, I got a few, I actually do.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
One is even like, Okay, so early on in music,
I didn't know a lot about business, so I will
offer opportunities that I.
Speaker 8 (10:04):
Didn't take advantage of.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Okay. So it's like either get it scared.
Speaker 8 (10:07):
Or you just just lack of knowledge.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
You know, A lot of us who don't really know
and depending on who you're around, if I knew better,
I would have did better. Right, But then again, I
got stuff that I did that I wish I didn't do.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I was gonna say.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Sometimes those bad business decisions are like, man, I wish
I wouldn't have signed that contract or I wouldn't have
done that.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Well, we want to hear from you, guys.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
What are some things in life that you maybe had
the opportunity to do that you wish that you would
have done. And I want to talk about this because
it's still time. Yeah it is, there's still time. So
eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty we're talking
about bad business decisions. What are some bad business business
I can't even say it to tongue twister, What are
some bad business decisions that you've made?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Eight hundred two ninety two fifty one fifty call us up. Yeah,
let's gonna turn me up here we go up there.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
This is way up with Angelaye.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
It's way up at Angela yee.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
And we're talking about a business decision that we regret,
a bad business decision. This comes from to Share Simmons.
That's DMX his wife on Carlos King talking about DMX
making some bad business decisions.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Here's what she said. Jay asked X about the Barclay Center.
Speaker 12 (11:18):
They called him and said, Jay is in and they
want to know if you want to put in a million.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Dollars to get in.
Speaker 12 (11:24):
Unfortunately, I hate to say ignorant, but it's when you're
ignorant and we don't have any real business sense. Ex
didn't want to do it, and now look could have
had part of the Barclays.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Now Chella is here. Chella h that's right.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
And we previously talked about some things like as an
artist from Chicago, that you could have done that you
didn't do. For sure, I even think about myself when
I bought my first house, I had an opportunity one
of my friends, her family. They were selling off a
couple of the properties that were passed down to them.
I could have bought this amazing, huge, beautiful house.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Passed on.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
It was such a great price it'd probably be worth
I would say about four times what they were selling
it for today, about four times.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
But it was brand like, it needed a lot of renovation.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
It was a one family house, that's what it was
zoned for, so I really wanted something that was a
two family, and then the first house I bought was
a full gut renovation that also was included in the
price right. And so while I regret that decision, I
don't know what it would have been like for me.
I didn't know any contractors, I wouldn't have been getting
some income in, but it still would have been a
beautiful property.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I mean, it's a beautiful house. And then there's definitely
a lot.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Of contracts that I wish I wouldn't have signed where
I had to like pay people. My first ever agent
in radio, he was awful and never did anything for me,
and then I had to pay him out until my
contract was up, and he was like, I don't care,
I don't have to do anything. Yeah, But anyway, we
want to hear your guys regrets because that's part of life, right, Nay,
what's a bad business decision that you regret?
Speaker 9 (12:54):
I think a bad business decision I put all hops
on was maybe ten years ago.
Speaker 10 (12:58):
My grandma had a friend who son wanted to like.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
Come to America for school, and they wanted me to
marry him so that he could get a teas up.
But I was so scared that.
Speaker 10 (13:07):
I did it.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Why do you think that was a bad business decision?
Speaker 10 (13:11):
Because I could have been up right now, how much.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Was they gonna give you?
Speaker 7 (13:15):
Well, I know, for like the initial like apposed to
be about thirty five hundred, and.
Speaker 10 (13:20):
Then for every year we're married.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
I was like to see fun.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Let me tell you what was going to happen.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
They would have gave you thirty five hundred, and then
after that he wouldn't have gave you no more money,
and then you would have been really upset, and then
he would have been staying in the country because y'all
would have got divorced. But he would have been okay
by then, and you would have just made thirty five
hundred and that's it, and you'd have been.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Mad and they was cutting you because people be getting
way more than that.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, well, se him. I'm glad I didn't do it.
Speaker 10 (13:45):
But again, I was like eighteen, I'm about to be
twenty eight, so it was a like wow.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
That okay, that thirty five hundred might have went it
a long way. Who knows, well, thank you for calling.
Who knows what could have happened? Maybe y'all would have
fell in love, right, hey, Sharena. How are you well,
suf Sharena.
Speaker 10 (14:00):
I'm good. I can't complain.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
So what's a bad business decision that you regret.
Speaker 10 (14:04):
I was being elected to run for the school board
and my town where I'm from, and I just felt
like it wasn't my ministry. At the time, I didn't
want to do it. And fast forward about three years later,
I'm back in New York and I'm backing the same time.
I'm like, damn, I could have been doing my big
one for my students all of the time, and I
just really regret that. But I am going to pick
(14:25):
up where I left off.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Yes, Yes, it's never too late. You still got it.
Speaker 10 (14:30):
Yes. Can I give a shout out to my principal? Yep,
I want to shout out. Principal said that why high school.
He's doing a great job over there with the students.
He took our students to Africa last year. That was
the first time that's been done, so big up to him.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
All right, thank you for calling and you can still.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
Do it as to be done.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Thank you. All right.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Well, those are people calling in with their bad business decisions,
and guess what, it's going to continue to happen because
the more risk you take, the more chanceer is that
maybe you'll make a decision that isn't that good. Right,
So you can't beat yourself up about it. But what
you can do is move forward, that's right, and learn
from it. Yeah, all right, Well when we come back,
we have your yee tea, and let's talk about my
girrel cash doll. She was on Club Shay Shay. We'll
(15:12):
give you some of those highlights. It's way up show.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
She's about to blow the lid ab off this spot.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Let's get it.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Angela's feeling that yee tea. Come and get the tea.
It's way up at Angela Yee. I'm here with my
girl teller h.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
And I gotta started off with seeing a congratulations to
Soria and Joey Badass.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
They are expecting their first child together. I so love
that both of them amazing.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Sria actually was on the runway at the Door Me
fashion show and that's when she.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Revealed her baby bump. How cute is that?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I remember when they first got together too, and I
want to say, and every time I see Joey, I
remind him of when he did lip service and he
was acting like he wasn't going to settle down, and
he is too settled down now, so I love to
see that for.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
Him, so sweet, real quick.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Can I give a shout out to Joycey and Design
Baby as well?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Oh yes, she had the baby, yeah, baby.
Speaker 12 (16:05):
Baby, yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
All right now, speaking of babies, Cash Doll is and
mama too, and she just did Club Shay Shame.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Of course it's a part one and a part two.
I was watching the interview. You know I love me
some Cash Doll. I know you do too, Yes, I do.
Don't you ever saw a Cash Doll?
Speaker 5 (16:19):
I do me Cash and T and Trina Options one
of her early songs.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
All right, Well, Cash Doll was on there and she
talked about she got Shannon Sharp to talk about the
time that he dated a stripper. Now, I saw the
clip going viral where she discusses how she used to
be a stripper, the amount of money that she made,
she got in and out of that, and it's all
very true, by the way, anybody who's questioning it. The
first time I met Cash Doll, they went crazy over
(16:45):
her at Coach for Kids in Detroit, and so I
know everybody knew her from from being a stripper, but
also from being an entrepreneur and just.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Being lit in Detroit.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Well, here is what Shannon Sharp had to say about
when he dated a stripper.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Had a man while I was doing it, did you hey,
so he dropped you all?
Speaker 8 (17:00):
Come pick you up flat out?
Speaker 4 (17:01):
I've done that too. One set that alarm about three.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
Yeah, like let me go pick up my girl.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Off the Sure.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I loved that, he said, I did that to set
that alarm with three. And you know, you don't want
to have to wait in the car too long, like
what is going on inside exactly now? She also I
did not know this, but her mom has five kids
and from a young age.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Here's what she said.
Speaker 8 (17:28):
My mom had five kids of twenty one. She used
to work, so she wasn't there most of the time,
so were my kids.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
My mom is the oldest girl you basically.
Speaker 8 (17:39):
Because I already had kids and they're still my kids.
Speaker 9 (17:42):
One.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
I'm the second mom.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
She talked about just growing up and them having to
like put on the oven to heat up the house
and then you know, it be cold and the d.
Speaker 8 (17:50):
So I can relate mid West Midwest things.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
All right.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Well, another thing that she talked about was Drake and
how she had a jealous boyfriend at the time that
did not like her taking a picture with Drake.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Here's what she said.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Is it true that your boyfriend broke up with you
took a picture with Drake.
Speaker 8 (18:08):
It just was just jealous. You know, some people don't
understand the woman being around the top of me.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
It's hard.
Speaker 8 (18:13):
He was so mad. I mean, well, he wasn't the
one who ended the relationship.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
I ended that shit, but he caused all his rookies
about taking a picture, and I'm just like, this is
my coworker.
Speaker 8 (18:22):
It's so crazy. I get it.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I dated a guy once.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
They used to be so mad if I took a
picture with somebody, like I would literally be in an
event and it would be like at the step and
repeat taking pictures and he would like screenshot them and
send them to me and be like, so we were
letting them.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Put the arm around you.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
You gotta go.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
I dated a guy that I can only dab guys
I couldn't.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
He couldn't hugged me.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
All right, Well, that is your ut.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
When we come back under the radar, the stories that
are not necessarily in the headlines, they're flying under the radar,
but we want to make sure you're aware it's way
up in the news that.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Relates to you. These stories are flying under the radar.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
All right, it's way up at Angela. Yee, I'm hear
about girl, Cella. That's right now, Chella under the radar.
Do you know of this procedure called the Chicago low key?
Speaker 8 (19:06):
I don't what is it?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
So this is doctor Benjamin Coughlin.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
He's made his Chicago based practice entirely about chins and jaws.
He has a procedure called the Chicago that's where they
do like fat pads sculpting combined with jawline conterering and
the face BBL. They move fat from one part of
the face to the other. And he says his patients
are forty one percent meal. A lot of them want
(19:31):
a more chiseled look.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
So I don't know, but get up with me, all right, Chicago,
they said, men getting plastic surgery is not anything new,
although men may not be as open about it as women.
They've done things like they've gotten their calves done to
make them like bulkier looking. Of course, they've slimmed down
their stomachs. They've flown the Turkey to get hair and
things like that. But now, they said, men are starting
(19:55):
to do more with their faces and more specifically the
lower third of the face, the chin, the jawline, and
the neck. So they said, chin implants have gone up
twenty six percent.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Wow, Chicago, I'm look, I'm ready.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
You get a Chicago.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
I don't I get this, I get this done all
the nick all.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Right, And makeup brushes are now dirtier, they're saying, than
a toilet seat. A new study has revealed there is
a horrifying amount of bacteria on unwashed brushes no matter
where you store them. They said, it's the same or
more than a toilet seat. They swabbed clean and unclean
makeup brushes at the end of two weeks and comparing
(20:37):
them to the results of this toilet seat. They found
that no matter where you store them, the number of
bacteria was either the same or more than a toilet
And yes, so when you see people with their face
all broken out, you know they're not washing their brush.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
You gotta wash your brushes.
Speaker 8 (20:50):
Disgusting.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
And sometimes when I travel, you know, you don't really
you just be like, I'm just using the same brush
and then you put it back in a little thing,
the little pack and put it away.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
All right.
Speaker 6 (20:59):
Now.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yeah, there's also winter alerts for millions. There's freezing rain
that's threatening power outages and saying it's dangerous to travel.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I know your flight got canceled.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
It did, Yeah, so already change it. Yeah, this is
for tomorrow. I know that's right. All right, Well, that
is your under the radar stories. But everybody make sure
you check your flights. If you're planning to travel or
go anywhere. Be safe when you're out there driving. If
you can stay home, you know what it is, do it.
If you could take the train, do that. But there's
going to be winter weather alerts for more than one
hundred million people across twenty two states.
Speaker 8 (21:30):
Yeah, that black ice is crazy right now.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
And just know that when there's a delay over there,
it causes delays here. It's a trickle effects. So just
make sure you check in all right. That is you're
under the radar now. Saint John is going to be
joining us today festival season. His newest collection is coming
out February twenty first, and we're going to hear from
him about a lot of different things. And you're gonna
love this conversation. I know, I did, and we also
have the way it mixed at the top of the hour. Right,
(21:54):
it's way up, just like.
Speaker 10 (21:57):
The like they Aly Jane, like they am jeal Man.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
She's spilling it all this is yet.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Well, it's way up at Angela Yee. I'm here with
my girl, Cella.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Is it Friday? No?
Speaker 8 (22:11):
Huh Thursday?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I know, I feel like a Friday. Thank you to Interments.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
They made some amazing cupcakes for us for Way Up
with Angela Yee. Two years on the ear. Yes, you
know what I'm saying. All right, and let's start it
off with Clarissa Shield. She was on her Live and
she was talking about why she values and loves her man,
her Man Papoos.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Here's what she said.
Speaker 9 (22:32):
Yeah, and that's why I love him. I love having
his support. You know what I'm saying. It's like, very
different from what I've had in the past. And he
speaks to me and stuff. It's very different.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Okay, she loves him publicly out loud. Shame walked her
into the ring, won that fight, you know what I'm saying,
So shouting up them, Tom, Yeah, I had the teams
tied up all right.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Now let's talk about what is going on.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Well, it looks like Big Meat has broken his silence
responding to fifty cent calling him a rat. And you know,
he posted Internet gangster and he blacked out Fifty's face
in the picture that was posted online. Fifty has been
going at him basically saying that he's a rat, etc.
One person who was very disappointed in all of this
(23:22):
was Little Meach. Now Little Meach reached out to fifty
and we only noticed because Fifty posted the text messages
and said, they just told me you on followed me
off Instagram, and now you manage and skill a baby
with rocket When I brought him around you first, when
you didn't have a clue who he was. Now you're
mad at me when I would take this shirt off
my back for you. I can't believe this man. You
act as if I'm your enemy. I'm only showing you
(23:42):
love and loyalty and human I go through my own ish,
but I never switched up on you.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
F Ross.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
But he gave my dad some bread so he can
afford to pay his bills until our next season starts.
This Internet is just throwing me off, man, you know
me in real life. And then fifty cent posted those
messages and said, what next season, little Ninja m He
should have known fifty was going to post the messages. Yeah,
you know, the whole thing is just a mess. Well,
fifty cents son Marquise also chimed in on all of this,
(24:10):
because if you recall, little Mitch did jump into a
conversation between fifty cent and Marquise previously, and here's what
Marquise had to say, you.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
Thought you was special?
Speaker 11 (24:21):
You really thought you a special?
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Who told you you?
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Who was special?
Speaker 8 (24:27):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
If anybody knows, it's Marquise, Like yeah, and there you
have it. So I don't know if I guess BMF
this is the last season, But maybe that was always
the plan anyway, Yeah, maybe so for this to be
the last season. Okay, Drake is going to be putting
out a solo album after he does his collab LP
with Party next Door.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
That's coming out for Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
And he was talking to his fans while he was
on tour. He has a sixteen day tour in Australia.
Here's what he said, I gotta be a coming out
on Valentine's very reporting next Door.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
You know, eventually, when a tom is right Drizzy.
Speaker 11 (25:03):
Drake alone by himself is going to have to have
a one ufun talk to y'all when the tom is.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Right now, when that's ready, it is right.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
I cannot wait to see what he comes with. You know,
everybody's gonna at least be curious to see. It's interesting
because DJ Kahled had previously posted that he had two
Drake songs. He said, fi Drake's back to work, So
am I this the one with two Drake's new album
twenty twenty five. And he also had said that Rihanna
is going to be on the album too, That's what
he was alluding to. But then Drake said in the
(25:34):
comments must be at Drake Bell and then DJ Khaled
deleted wow message, So maybe that wasn't a done deal
or there was a miscommunication.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
So folks who songs I know?
Speaker 2 (25:45):
All right, well that is your yet when we come back.
We have asked Yee eight hundred two ninety two fifty
one fifty call us up any question you have.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
We're here to help its way up, its relationship.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
For career advice. Angela's dropping facts.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Should this is what's up its way up at Angela. Yee,
I'm here with my girl.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Tella.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
H that's right, and it's time for ask ye now, Tella,
don't automatically say it's not gonna work, please.
Speaker 8 (26:09):
I mean I don't. I mean, I just know.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
All right, we got Tiffany on the line. What's that Tiffany? Hey,
and I have a question.
Speaker 13 (26:16):
Okay, So me and my man have been together for
two years, right, and like, I don't see anything happening
with a ring. How long do you think you should
wait until? Like you think you're wasting your time?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Well, two years?
Speaker 8 (26:29):
It depends how old are you?
Speaker 7 (26:31):
So I'm thirty five.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
You guys have been together two years. Do y'all live together?
Speaker 11 (26:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
We live together.
Speaker 13 (26:37):
So the problem that I'm happening, I don't want it
to feel like, you know, because some men like we're together,
we're living together, and then the ring never comes?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
So what does he say when you ask him, like,
what's up with us?
Speaker 7 (26:48):
I didn't ask.
Speaker 13 (26:49):
Him, you know, because I've been like kind of waited out,
like I want the surprise element, but I don't see
anything happening.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
You got to ask him what his views are on
marriage and if he sees that for the future.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Tho, y'all got it?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Because if you live together and that's something you wanted
to work to it, you got to have that conversation, right.
Speaker 13 (27:03):
Agreed, Because I was like, you know, like I want
him to lead. I wanted him to like, you know,
ask a question. But I feel like I'm at the
point we've been together for two years, you know, like
we're doing like we're buying homes together. So I'm like,
you know, things are being intertwined.
Speaker 8 (27:15):
Right right, Well, you gotta just say something.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
You can't expect him to think how you would think,
So I would like drop a hint or either come
out and say it.
Speaker 8 (27:22):
And if he ain't moving like how you.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Want to move, then you already know you got to
move around and it ain't gonna work.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Agreed, because that's where I'm happening. Does he clean the
house at all?
Speaker 8 (27:31):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 13 (27:31):
He does everything like it feels like we're in a marriage.
But I'm not somebody I want to feel like I'm
in a marriage.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I need to break right.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Yeah, you have to communicate that people cannot reach your
mind because he might be thinking you fine, just like this, yeah,
especially if you never say it right right right right, Well,
let us know what happens two years living together. It
should be like we're working towards this, and he should
have in his head like what he wants to do,
because y'all don't have everything smooth.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Everything's good, right, Yeah, everything's perfect, that's all.
Speaker 13 (27:59):
I'm like, it's just but literally, the only thing that's
missing is that final commitment.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Some guys be thinking that marriage ruins perfection. Somebody told
me that before it like, don't get married. Whatever you do,
it just ruins it.
Speaker 8 (28:10):
Well, she just got to have that conversation.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Yeah, let him know.
Speaker 8 (28:13):
I think I've never had it.
Speaker 13 (28:14):
I've never like really kind of insinuated, like obviously, like
you have the conversations like we're building together.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
But come on, my name is Tiffany and they have
wedding rings at Tiffany's.
Speaker 8 (28:23):
Have a conversation today.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Period. All right, thank you real good luck. See tell
thinks it could work.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
Thank you, it could work. I can see the dance work.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
You can see that work here. That's the first time
I heard you say.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
She got to communicate and then he got a comprehend.
So had that conversation today and then Collos tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Communicate and comprehend with Tella It's way up when we
come back. Saint John is going to be joining us
his new album Festival Season. His new collection will be
out February twenty First, It's way up.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Everybody listen, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ye.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
But you're all being waiting.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
For Oh you're tapped in the way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
What's it's way up at Angela Yee?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
And this is exciting cuts for the first time Saint
John is hanging out here with me.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Yes I am.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
It was a little blast miths Earlier. You said you're
not from Brooklyn, are you? And I said, actually, yes
I am.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Where do you think I was from?
Speaker 4 (29:13):
I wasn't super sure.
Speaker 14 (29:15):
I knew it was the East Coast, right because it's
the East Coast energy, but I was like, it might
not be Brooklyn.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
But sometimes people say that about me, they think I'm
from like London or something.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
I can see that.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
I think they just saying I'm flying.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
You could be flying from Brooklyn.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
Too, Nah, but it's a different thing.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
But you're very eclectic.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
I think what does that mean when people say that.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
It means that you can't be boxed into a certain category.
But I think you have a lot of different things
and a lot of different sounds. Even your style is
not necessarily like I could tell where you're from.
Speaker 14 (29:43):
Right, it's not one dimensional, right. I always take that
when somebody says eclectic, like, oh, that's a synonym for widow.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
You call me a widow. But I think you meant that.
But that's about the clarify it. People could say, oh,
you dynamic, it carries the same energy. Eclectics definitely sounds
like widow.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
No, because I think dynamic means more like energy wise.
I think eclectic is more style wise.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
In my head, that's how you interpret it.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
We actually in my college at Wesley, and we had
a house called the Eclectic House.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Well, you know what you might be right now, I know.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
What you see. I know I know what the collector house.
I know what's going on.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
You're dynamic, and I just want to say you're very dynamic.
Right right now, I'm talking to Saint John. He's got
his new collection dropping February twenty first festival season. Why
did your mom change the locks on you? Because I've
always wanted to know all. Shout out to Cakira who
held you down.
Speaker 14 (30:30):
Back first of all the crib that she's in Now
is the turn change the locks on me? Is the
crib that I paid off? That's the full circle moment.
I was living in Connecticut. I lived in Connecticut for
like three years after high school, and I was just
trying to figure out music and hustle and figure figure
out modeling all types of things. Whatever the finance was.
I was trying to make it work. And I was
working at this call center. They sold this product called Snuggy.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Oh I love Snuggy with the little I'm not gonna lie.
I had a Snuggy, even got one.
Speaker 14 (31:00):
I was working at the cost and I never got one.
I remember what I was making till I was making
seven twenty five an hour, so I.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Was like slinging snuggies, slinging snuggies.
Speaker 14 (31:09):
So I got home one day and my mom I
looked clean. I always looked like I had it together.
So I remember getting home one day and it was
New Year's even my mom had change the locks, so
she thought I was getting money and not giving her none. Okay,
they broke my whole heart. Now ended up homeless for
a little bit and then Kyra helped me down.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Prior to that, were you a good kid or were
you doing things that made her feel like my son
is going down the wrong path.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
I was like a half wicked kid, but I had
good intentions.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
He's so good at this, ladies, you hear this, Okay,
go ahead.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
It's true.
Speaker 14 (31:40):
I had really good intentions because all of my brothers
would have They would have worst. They were themon time,
so naturally that rubs off. But everybody doing the extreme
wickedness like it wasn't going good for nobody. And I
was a younger brother, so I had to make good decisions,
better decisions. I'm like, oh, oh, that's not gonna work
if I go hustle. Look, it's like it's six of y'all,
everybody getting thought, uncle's getting locked. Oh this ain't no
(32:02):
Tony Montana movie. This ain't gonna work. One of us
gotta do something different. So I participated in some things
and then other things. I tried to be like way
more smart, way more advanced, because I just didn't think
I was. I didn't have to luck I'm confessing no,
and I'm just saying, we all know somebody from somewhere
doing something super slimy and they're the luckiest personal nothing
never happens. I wasn't that kid. I just didn't how
(32:24):
that looks. It wasn't gonna go.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Good for me.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
You had a different type of finesse to.
Speaker 14 (32:28):
Different type of finests. So nah, it wasn't like I
was up and I was getting money and I was thriving.
So I'm not sure what my mom thought. She just
a Guyanese parents where she's like, yo, you eighteen, you
an adult. You gotta paid bills like dog.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Saint John is here.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
He's also from Brooklyn, He's Guyanese and he's got a
new collection dropping February twenty first festival season.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
We have more with him when we come back.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
It's way up, way up with Angela ye.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
What's up is way up with Angela yea. And I'm
talking to Saint John Poppin'. Let's talk about this song
for a second, because it feels a little different for you.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
It's got like a sexy red vibe.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
But it was a risk for you, which I don't
think that you're reverse to that.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
But talk to me about that song.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
It's just an ignorant record. It's not in my catalog.
The music.
Speaker 14 (33:16):
I've touched the space a bunch of times. These just
saw my biggest records, right, So to be to be
gone for four years and come back and present this
like this is something you need to see. It's aggressive,
it's almost disruptive. So if you just wanted to hear
something melodic and something pleasant, it's not that. But that's okay.
Everything has its place. Take keith it you ain't crazy.
(33:36):
It's ignorant because that's part of my dynamic. That's what
makes me, that's what makes you.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Because I feel like we all have that. We have
all sides, right, Yeah, even.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
The girls going to church be twerking. So it's just
that Christian sex club, Christian sex club.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
I mean, it all is kind of like that.
Speaker 14 (33:53):
It lives in my space. I always dance on the line.
I dance on the line of.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Is that okay? Did he go too far? Is it
too far? What does he mean? Do I believe in that?
Is it exciting?
Speaker 1 (34:03):
You know?
Speaker 2 (34:03):
But like you said, it's been four years, So did
you have any type of like hesitation about it or
were you just like you just don't care?
Speaker 14 (34:10):
I do care. Be foolish to pretend like I don't care.
I almost care too much. But I didn't want to
overproduce the results.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Of it. For one, when you listen to this entire
body of work, all of it will makes sense.
Speaker 14 (34:21):
Okay, when you take things outside of context of you know,
the whole soundbit, the whole collection, you might itemize and
be like, I don't want that.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
I get why you don't want that.
Speaker 14 (34:30):
If I just took a scene out of pulp fiction
and gave you no context to it, it just seems
like the guy's having a monologue about nothing.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
But when you watch the movie, you go, oh, he
was gonna kill me. That's it.
Speaker 14 (34:41):
The entire cinema of this performance. Sonically, it all reads
well together, it all lives well together. It's a live show.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Right now, I'm talking to Saint John.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
He's got his new collection dropping February twenty first festival season.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
I'm gonna talk about some of the songs that really
stuck out to me. All right, sad.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
You know, I think relationship wise too, as you talk
about how there's these different sides to you. Relationship wise,
I can't figure out what it is that you want
because you know, you had the song previously wedding day
and it feels like you want to be married and
you want it to last forever.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
But then I don't know.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
It just don't be working, sots working.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Is it because of you or.
Speaker 14 (35:21):
Oh, I got to be partially accountable. Maybe it's because
of me. Maybe maybe because I make bad picks. I'm
not really sure, but it got to be a combination
of things. If I keep picking bad, then I got
to be on me right. Okay, So even look in
all of my artwork, there's a reoccurring theme. I keep
putting me in a bride. There's always a woman in
a veil. I keep flirting with the idea because the
fantasy in my mind is to meet the type of
(35:41):
woman that would make me want to get married, not
forced me to marry her, but would be so exciting
that me. It would make me challenge something that it's
not something I believe in, because the idea of marriage
just don't work in twenty twenty five. The sanctity of
it is a beautiful concept, but the practicality of it,
living through it, it's really difficult, and most people can't
survive it. So I'm constantly am flirting with the danger
(36:03):
of Oh, I'm telling the truth, the danger of I
don't really believe in. It's because it don't work. But
I'd like to be the place where somebody makes me
feel so compelled that I want to try something that
I know is disasters.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Well, festival season is for sure. February twenty first. Thank
you so much. It was such a pleasure to be
able to sit and have this conversation. Mavee, you finally
got to talk finally. I know we've been working on this,
but thank you so much. Just two Brooklyn kids, you know,
picking it Brooklyn kids.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
More to come.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Well, thank you so much to say John for joining
us today. Watch that full interview and it's a really
great one on my YouTube channel Way Up with You
get ready for festival season on February twenty first, and
when we come back, you guys have the last word.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
Tamping to get your voice heard.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
What the word is the last word on Way Up

to start off with giving our condolences to IRV Gotti's family. Unfortunately,
at the age of fifty four, he has passed away.
We'll tell you what people are saying about this online.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
It's way up to say in the rooms industry, shade
to all of gossip out angels spilling that et.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
It's way up at Angela yee. I'm here with Tella.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
H all right, And unfortunately IRV Gotti has passed away.
Multiple sources close to his family say that he did
die Wednesday in New York City. I'm unclear exactly how
he died. From what I heard, he was having health issues.
He had that stroke. He had a stroke last year,
and I guess things were better for a period of time,
(04:29):
and you just never know what can happen.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
When he suffered his stroke.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
A rep said that diabetes was a factor, but they
said he did improve his diet as a result. Now,
a lot of people went on social media to express
their condolences. Jaru put a broken heart emoji. Jamie Fox said, Wow,
rest in power, my brother. Your music and your legacy
will never be forgotten.
Speaker 9 (04:48):
IRV.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
You have spread a lot of love and a lot
of wisdom to everyone that you met.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Rest up. Kanye put a dove with the flowers.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Uncle Rush Russell Simmons posted, please don't let e IRV
Gotti go without acknowledging the tragedy of his death and
of black men's and women's health in America. Fat Joe said,
what a genius. God bless you, IRV. Thank you for
all you've done for hip hop. You've changed my life
and I will always love you. Now, I do want
to acknowledge that we've interviewed him a couple of times
and IRV Gott he was great at talking. He did
(05:20):
that Drink Tams episode a couple of times. And one
thing that he talked about when we sat down with him,
Philip Service, was his b to documentary that came out
in twenty twenty two called The Murder Ink Story. It
was a three part series and here's what he had
to say while he was promoting that.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
And you know, I.
Speaker 11 (05:37):
Really like it because he captures the true IRV Goya,
the true Irving Lorenzo starts off me and my family
when I'm a kid, and it just lets everyone know
it's for my family, talks about when my dad gets
laid off, and that's what inspired me.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
I wasn't taking life seriously to me.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
But that's important because I feel like sometimes people do
documentaries from their point of.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
View and they leave out a lot of it because
the don't want to.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Loved, So make sure I'm sure people are going to
go and rewatch that. Yeah, you know again, all right,
Wendy Williams guardian will now have a new mental evaluation
for her. The court appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, who everybody
has issues with, has informed the judge about Wendy's recent
interviews where she says she does not have frontal temporal
(06:22):
dementia that was the original diagnosis that landed her in
an assisted living facility. And so now they're saying that
they want to be transparent about Wendy's condition and they
think it would be prudent for her to undergo a
new medical evaluation that will involve comprehensive neurological and psychological
testing by a specialist in the field. They also want
the judge to put the any lawsuit on Ice penning
(06:43):
the results of the new evaluation. But you know, Wendy
has expressed that she wants to get out of there
and that she feels like she's okay, well I don't know. Yeah,
so we're going to see what ends up happening with that.
But I just couldn't imagine not having access to my money,
not being able the movies. I want not being able
to see my family. So this also, I think calls
(07:04):
into a bigger question about court appointed guardians and how
those laws need to change. All right, well that is
your ut. When we come back, we have about last night.
That's where we discussed what we did last night. It's
way up night.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
So about last night, I went down It's way up
with Angela.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yee, I'm here. My girl Chella is here.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
So Tella's visiting from Chicago. And one thing I have
to say is coming to New York. You see how
much every single day I do. And she was like,
I just can we just be in the house, just
a couple of just for a couple of hours, just
for one night.
Speaker 8 (07:42):
But I love it.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Though my phone is on. Sorry guys, that's so irresponsible
to me. But yes, and so you kind of took
it easy a little bit last night, right.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
Yeah, Yesilla got some work done though.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
All right.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, I actually was, of course at my coffee shop.
So shout out to Barry Cooper from bro Experience. He
came to meet with me. He's an educator also, and
he has his nonprofit Real He works a lot with
young men and we're just talking about different things that
we can do in conjunction with each other at the
coffee shop. But what he was saying is a lot
of social workers and a lot of teachers like to
(08:16):
hang out after, you know, after work hours, and so
maybe there's some type of mixer that we can do
there that's a regular thing. So I'm looking forward to
doing some things like that, you know, I having a
business and wanting to make sure that you're active in
the community.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
That is part of, you know, what it is that
I want to do.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And I think in particular now as we're watching what's
happening with DEI going away with a lot of these
corporations that were acting like they were doing things because
they cared about the community, and now we realize if
they don't have to do it, they won't. It just
makes me feel like we got to go a lot harder.
I've been seeing a lot of businesses closing down. Yeah,
it's really rough. And along those lines, I want to
(08:56):
talk about this interview that to Share Simmons did with
Carlos King.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
T Shara Simmons is DMX's ex wife. They were actually
married and they were together from when they were really young,
and she was on Carlos King talking about some of
the bad business decisions that DMX made when he had
the opportunity to be involved with a lot of different things.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Here's what she had to say. They asked X about
the Barclay Center.
Speaker 12 (09:22):
They called him and said Jay is in and they
want to know if you want to put in a
million dollars to get in. Unfortunately, I hate to say ignorant,
but it's when you're ignorant and we don't have any
real business sense. Ex didn't want to do it. And
now look, huh.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Are there regrets Tella that you have that maybe when
you were younger, you had the opportunity to do something
and you're like, man, I should have did that. I
remember talking to Uncle Murder and he was talking about
buying bitcoin early on because somebody told him to do
it and that helped him a lot.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Yeah, I got a few, I actually do.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
One is even like, Okay, so early on in music,
I didn't know a lot about business, so I will
offer opportunities that I.
Speaker 8 (10:04):
Didn't take advantage of.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Okay. So it's like either get it scared.
Speaker 8 (10:07):
Or you just just lack of knowledge.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
You know, A lot of us who don't really know
and depending on who you're around, if I knew better,
I would have did better. Right, But then again, I
got stuff that I did that I wish I didn't do.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I was gonna say.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Sometimes those bad business decisions are like, man, I wish
I wouldn't have signed that contract or I wouldn't have
done that.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Well, we want to hear from you, guys.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
What are some things in life that you maybe had
the opportunity to do that you wish that you would
have done. And I want to talk about this because
it's still time. Yeah it is, there's still time. So
eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty we're talking
about bad business decisions. What are some bad business business
I can't even say it to tongue twister, What are
some bad business decisions that you've made?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Eight hundred two ninety two fifty one fifty call us up. Yeah,
let's gonna turn me up here we go up there.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
This is way up with Angelaye.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
It's way up at Angela yee.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
And we're talking about a business decision that we regret,
a bad business decision. This comes from to Share Simmons.
That's DMX his wife on Carlos King talking about DMX
making some bad business decisions.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Here's what she said. Jay asked X about the Barclay Center.
Speaker 12 (11:18):
They called him and said, Jay is in and they
want to know if you want to put in a million.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Dollars to get in.
Speaker 12 (11:24):
Unfortunately, I hate to say ignorant, but it's when you're
ignorant and we don't have any real business sense. Ex
didn't want to do it, and now look could have
had part of the Barclays.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Now Chella is here. Chella h that's right.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
And we previously talked about some things like as an
artist from Chicago, that you could have done that you
didn't do. For sure, I even think about myself when
I bought my first house, I had an opportunity one
of my friends, her family. They were selling off a
couple of the properties that were passed down to them.
I could have bought this amazing, huge, beautiful house.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Passed on.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
It was such a great price it'd probably be worth
I would say about four times what they were selling
it for today, about four times.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
But it was brand like, it needed a lot of renovation.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
It was a one family house, that's what it was
zoned for, so I really wanted something that was a
two family, and then the first house I bought was
a full gut renovation that also was included in the
price right. And so while I regret that decision, I
don't know what it would have been like for me.
I didn't know any contractors, I wouldn't have been getting
some income in, but it still would have been a
beautiful property.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I mean, it's a beautiful house. And then there's definitely
a lot.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Of contracts that I wish I wouldn't have signed where
I had to like pay people. My first ever agent
in radio, he was awful and never did anything for me,
and then I had to pay him out until my
contract was up, and he was like, I don't care,
I don't have to do anything. Yeah, But anyway, we
want to hear your guys regrets because that's part of life, right, Nay,
what's a bad business decision that you regret?
Speaker 9 (12:54):
I think a bad business decision I put all hops
on was maybe ten years ago.
Speaker 10 (12:58):
My grandma had a friend who son wanted to like.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
Come to America for school, and they wanted me to
marry him so that he could get a teas up.
But I was so scared that.
Speaker 10 (13:07):
I did it.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Why do you think that was a bad business decision?
Speaker 10 (13:11):
Because I could have been up right now, how much.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Was they gonna give you?
Speaker 7 (13:15):
Well, I know, for like the initial like apposed to
be about thirty five hundred, and.
Speaker 10 (13:20):
Then for every year we're married.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
I was like to see fun.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Let me tell you what was going to happen.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
They would have gave you thirty five hundred, and then
after that he wouldn't have gave you no more money,
and then you would have been really upset, and then
he would have been staying in the country because y'all
would have got divorced. But he would have been okay
by then, and you would have just made thirty five
hundred and that's it, and you'd have been.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Mad and they was cutting you because people be getting
way more than that.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, well, se him. I'm glad I didn't do it.
Speaker 10 (13:45):
But again, I was like eighteen, I'm about to be
twenty eight, so it was a like wow.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
That okay, that thirty five hundred might have went it
a long way. Who knows, well, thank you for calling.
Who knows what could have happened? Maybe y'all would have
fell in love, right, hey, Sharena. How are you well,
suf Sharena.
Speaker 10 (14:00):
I'm good. I can't complain.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
So what's a bad business decision that you regret.
Speaker 10 (14:04):
I was being elected to run for the school board
and my town where I'm from, and I just felt
like it wasn't my ministry. At the time, I didn't
want to do it. And fast forward about three years later,
I'm back in New York and I'm backing the same time.
I'm like, damn, I could have been doing my big
one for my students all of the time, and I
just really regret that. But I am going to pick
(14:25):
up where I left off.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Yes, Yes, it's never too late. You still got it.
Speaker 10 (14:30):
Yes. Can I give a shout out to my principal? Yep,
I want to shout out. Principal said that why high school.
He's doing a great job over there with the students.
He took our students to Africa last year. That was
the first time that's been done, so big up to him.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
All right, thank you for calling and you can still.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
Do it as to be done.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Thank you. All right.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Well, those are people calling in with their bad business decisions,
and guess what, it's going to continue to happen because
the more risk you take, the more chanceer is that
maybe you'll make a decision that isn't that good. Right,
So you can't beat yourself up about it. But what
you can do is move forward, that's right, and learn
from it. Yeah, all right, Well when we come back,
we have your yee tea, and let's talk about my
girrel cash doll. She was on Club Shay Shay. We'll
(15:12):
give you some of those highlights. It's way up show.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
She's about to blow the lid ab off this spot.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Let's get it.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Angela's feeling that yee tea. Come and get the tea.
It's way up at Angela Yee. I'm here with my

Soria and Joey Badass.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
They are expecting their first child together. I so love
that both of them amazing.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Sria actually was on the runway at the Door Me
fashion show and that's when she.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Revealed her baby bump. How cute is that?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I remember when they first got together too, and I
want to say, and every time I see Joey, I
remind him of when he did lip service and he
was acting like he wasn't going to settle down, and
he is too settled down now, so I love to
see that for.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
Him, so sweet, real quick.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Can I give a shout out to Joycey and Design

Of course it's a part one and a part two.
I was watching the interview. You know I love me
some Cash Doll. I know you do too, Yes, I do.
Don't you ever saw a Cash Doll?
Speaker 5 (16:19):
I do me Cash and T and Trina Options one
of her early songs.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
All right, Well, Cash Doll was on there and she
talked about she got Shannon Sharp to talk about the
time that he dated a stripper. Now, I saw the
clip going viral where she discusses how she used to
be a stripper, the amount of money that she made,
she got in and out of that, and it's all
very true, by the way, anybody who's questioning it. The
first time I met Cash Doll, they went crazy over
(16:45):
her at Coach for Kids in Detroit, and so I
know everybody knew her from from being a stripper, but
also from being an entrepreneur and just.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Being lit in Detroit.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Well, here is what Shannon Sharp had to say about
when he dated a stripper.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Had a man while I was doing it, did you hey,
so he dropped you all?
Speaker 8 (17:00):
Come pick you up flat out?
Speaker 4 (17:01):
I've done that too. One set that alarm about three.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
Yeah, like let me go pick up my girl.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Off the Sure.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I loved that, he said, I did that to set
that alarm with three. And you know, you don't want
to have to wait in the car too long, like
what is going on inside exactly now? She also I
did not know this, but her mom has five kids
and from a young age.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Here's what she said.
Speaker 8 (17:28):
My mom had five kids of twenty one. She used
to work, so she wasn't there most of the time,
so were my kids.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
My mom is the oldest girl you basically.
Speaker 8 (17:39):
Because I already had kids and they're still my kids.
Speaker 9 (17:42):
One.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
I'm the second mom.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
She talked about just growing up and them having to
like put on the oven to heat up the house
and then you know, it be cold and the d.
Speaker 8 (17:50):
So I can relate mid West Midwest things.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
All right.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Well, another thing that she talked about was Drake and
how she had a jealous boyfriend at the time that
did not like her taking a picture with Drake.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Here's what she said.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Is it true that your boyfriend broke up with you
took a picture with Drake.
Speaker 8 (18:08):
It just was just jealous. You know, some people don't
understand the woman being around the top of me.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
It's hard.
Speaker 8 (18:13):
He was so mad. I mean, well, he wasn't the
one who ended the relationship.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
I ended that shit, but he caused all his rookies
about taking a picture, and I'm just like, this is
my coworker.
Speaker 8 (18:22):
It's so crazy. I get it.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I dated a guy once.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
They used to be so mad if I took a
picture with somebody, like I would literally be in an
event and it would be like at the step and
repeat taking pictures and he would like screenshot them and
send them to me and be like, so we were
letting them.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Put the arm around you.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
You gotta go.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
I dated a guy that I can only dab guys
I couldn't.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
He couldn't hugged me.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
All right, Well, that is your ut.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
When we come back under the radar, the stories that
are not necessarily in the headlines, they're flying under the radar,
but we want to make sure you're aware it's way
up in the news that.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Relates to you. These stories are flying under the radar.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
All right, it's way up at Angela. Yee, I'm hear
about girl, Cella. That's right now, Chella under the radar.
Do you know of this procedure called the Chicago low key?
Speaker 8 (19:06):
I don't what is it?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
So this is doctor Benjamin Coughlin.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
He's made his Chicago based practice entirely about chins and jaws.
He has a procedure called the Chicago that's where they
do like fat pads sculpting combined with jawline conterering and
the face BBL. They move fat from one part of
the face to the other. And he says his patients
are forty one percent meal. A lot of them want
(19:31):
a more chiseled look.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
So I don't know, but get up with me, all right, Chicago,
they said, men getting plastic surgery is not anything new,
although men may not be as open about it as women.
They've done things like they've gotten their calves done to
make them like bulkier looking. Of course, they've slimmed down
their stomachs. They've flown the Turkey to get hair and
things like that. But now, they said, men are starting
(19:55):
to do more with their faces and more specifically the
lower third of the face, the chin, the jawline, and
the neck. So they said, chin implants have gone up
twenty six percent.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Wow, Chicago, I'm look, I'm ready.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
You get a Chicago.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
I don't I get this, I get this done all
the nick all.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Right, And makeup brushes are now dirtier, they're saying, than
a toilet seat. A new study has revealed there is
a horrifying amount of bacteria on unwashed brushes no matter
where you store them. They said, it's the same or
more than a toilet seat. They swabbed clean and unclean
makeup brushes at the end of two weeks and comparing
(20:37):
them to the results of this toilet seat. They found
that no matter where you store them, the number of
bacteria was either the same or more than a toilet
And yes, so when you see people with their face
all broken out, you know they're not washing their brush.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
You gotta wash your brushes.
Speaker 8 (20:50):
Disgusting.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
And sometimes when I travel, you know, you don't really
you just be like, I'm just using the same brush
and then you put it back in a little thing,
the little pack and put it away.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
All right.
Speaker 6 (20:59):
Now.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yeah, there's also winter alerts for millions. There's freezing rain
that's threatening power outages and saying it's dangerous to travel.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I know your flight got canceled.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
It did, Yeah, so already change it. Yeah, this is
for tomorrow. I know that's right. All right, Well, that
is your under the radar stories. But everybody make sure
you check your flights. If you're planning to travel or
go anywhere. Be safe when you're out there driving. If
you can stay home, you know what it is, do it.
If you could take the train, do that. But there's
going to be winter weather alerts for more than one
hundred million people across twenty two states.
Speaker 8 (21:30):
Yeah, that black ice is crazy right now.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
And just know that when there's a delay over there,
it causes delays here. It's a trickle effects. So just
make sure you check in all right. That is you're
under the radar now. Saint John is going to be
joining us today festival season. His newest collection is coming
out February twenty first, and we're going to hear from
him about a lot of different things. And you're gonna
love this conversation. I know, I did, and we also
have the way it mixed at the top of the hour. Right,
(21:54):
it's way up, just like.
Speaker 10 (21:57):
The like they Aly Jane, like they am jeal Man.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
She's spilling it all this is yet.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Well, it's way up at Angela Yee. I'm here with
my girl, Cella.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Is it Friday? No?
Speaker 8 (22:11):
Huh Thursday?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I know, I feel like a Friday. Thank you to Interments.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
They made some amazing cupcakes for us for Way Up
with Angela Yee. Two years on the ear. Yes, you
know what I'm saying. All right, and let's start it
off with Clarissa Shield. She was on her Live and
she was talking about why she values and loves her man,
her Man Papoos.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Here's what she said.
Speaker 9 (22:32):
Yeah, and that's why I love him. I love having
his support. You know what I'm saying. It's like, very
different from what I've had in the past. And he
speaks to me and stuff. It's very different.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Okay, she loves him publicly out loud. Shame walked her
into the ring, won that fight, you know what I'm saying,
So shouting up them, Tom, Yeah, I had the teams
tied up all right.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Now let's talk about what is going on.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Well, it looks like Big Meat has broken his silence
responding to fifty cent calling him a rat. And you know,
he posted Internet gangster and he blacked out Fifty's face
in the picture that was posted online. Fifty has been
going at him basically saying that he's a rat, etc.
One person who was very disappointed in all of this
(23:22):
was Little Meach. Now Little Meach reached out to fifty
and we only noticed because Fifty posted the text messages
and said, they just told me you on followed me
off Instagram, and now you manage and skill a baby
with rocket When I brought him around you first, when
you didn't have a clue who he was. Now you're
mad at me when I would take this shirt off
my back for you. I can't believe this man. You
act as if I'm your enemy. I'm only showing you
(23:42):
love and loyalty and human I go through my own ish,
but I never switched up on you.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
F Ross.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
But he gave my dad some bread so he can
afford to pay his bills until our next season starts.
This Internet is just throwing me off, man, you know
me in real life. And then fifty cent posted those
messages and said, what next season, little Ninja m He
should have known fifty was going to post the messages. Yeah,
you know, the whole thing is just a mess. Well,
fifty cents son Marquise also chimed in on all of this,
(24:10):
because if you recall, little Mitch did jump into a
conversation between fifty cent and Marquise previously, and here's what
Marquise had to say, you.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
Thought you was special?
Speaker 11 (24:21):
You really thought you a special?
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Who told you you?
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Who was special?
Speaker 8 (24:27):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
If anybody knows, it's Marquise, Like yeah, and there you
have it. So I don't know if I guess BMF
this is the last season, But maybe that was always
the plan anyway, Yeah, maybe so for this to be
the last season. Okay, Drake is going to be putting
out a solo album after he does his collab LP
with Party next Door.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
That's coming out for Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
And he was talking to his fans while he was
on tour. He has a sixteen day tour in Australia.
Here's what he said, I gotta be a coming out
on Valentine's very reporting next Door.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
You know, eventually, when a tom is right Drizzy.
Speaker 11 (25:03):
Drake alone by himself is going to have to have
a one ufun talk to y'all when the tom is.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Right now, when that's ready, it is right.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
I cannot wait to see what he comes with. You know,
everybody's gonna at least be curious to see. It's interesting
because DJ Kahled had previously posted that he had two
Drake songs. He said, fi Drake's back to work, So
am I this the one with two Drake's new album
twenty twenty five. And he also had said that Rihanna
is going to be on the album too, That's what
he was alluding to. But then Drake said in the
(25:34):
comments must be at Drake Bell and then DJ Khaled
deleted wow message, So maybe that wasn't a done deal
or there was a miscommunication.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
So folks who songs I know?
Speaker 2 (25:45):
All right, well that is your yet when we come back.
We have asked Yee eight hundred two ninety two fifty
one fifty call us up any question you have.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
We're here to help its way up, its relationship.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
For career advice. Angela's dropping facts.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Should this is what's up its way up at Angela. Yee,
I'm here with my girl.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Tella.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
H that's right, and it's time for ask ye now, Tella,
don't automatically say it's not gonna work, please.
Speaker 8 (26:09):
I mean I don't. I mean, I just know.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
All right, we got Tiffany on the line. What's that Tiffany? Hey,
and I have a question.
Speaker 13 (26:16):
Okay, So me and my man have been together for
two years, right, and like, I don't see anything happening
with a ring. How long do you think you should
wait until? Like you think you're wasting your time?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Well, two years?
Speaker 8 (26:29):
It depends how old are you?
Speaker 7 (26:31):
So I'm thirty five.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
You guys have been together two years. Do y'all live together?
Speaker 11 (26:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
We live together.
Speaker 13 (26:37):
So the problem that I'm happening, I don't want it
to feel like, you know, because some men like we're together,
we're living together, and then the ring never comes?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
So what does he say when you ask him, like,
what's up with us?
Speaker 7 (26:48):
I didn't ask.
Speaker 13 (26:49):
Him, you know, because I've been like kind of waited out,
like I want the surprise element, but I don't see
anything happening.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
You got to ask him what his views are on
marriage and if he sees that for the future.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Tho, y'all got it?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Because if you live together and that's something you wanted
to work to it, you got to have that conversation, right.
Speaker 13 (27:03):
Agreed, Because I was like, you know, like I want
him to lead. I wanted him to like, you know,
ask a question. But I feel like I'm at the
point we've been together for two years, you know, like
we're doing like we're buying homes together. So I'm like,
you know, things are being intertwined.
Speaker 8 (27:15):
Right right, Well, you gotta just say something.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
You can't expect him to think how you would think,
So I would like drop a hint or either come
out and say it.
Speaker 8 (27:22):
And if he ain't moving like how you.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Want to move, then you already know you got to
move around and it ain't gonna work.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Agreed, because that's where I'm happening. Does he clean the
house at all?
Speaker 8 (27:31):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 13 (27:31):
He does everything like it feels like we're in a marriage.
But I'm not somebody I want to feel like I'm
in a marriage.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I need to break right.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Yeah, you have to communicate that people cannot reach your
mind because he might be thinking you fine, just like this, yeah,
especially if you never say it right right right right, Well,
let us know what happens two years living together. It
should be like we're working towards this, and he should
have in his head like what he wants to do,
because y'all don't have everything smooth.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Everything's good, right, Yeah, everything's perfect, that's all.
Speaker 13 (27:59):
I'm like, it's just but literally, the only thing that's
missing is that final commitment.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Some guys be thinking that marriage ruins perfection. Somebody told
me that before it like, don't get married. Whatever you do,
it just ruins it.
Speaker 8 (28:10):
Well, she just got to have that conversation.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Yeah, let him know.
Speaker 8 (28:13):
I think I've never had it.
Speaker 13 (28:14):
I've never like really kind of insinuated, like obviously, like
you have the conversations like we're building together.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
But come on, my name is Tiffany and they have
wedding rings at Tiffany's.
Speaker 8 (28:23):
Have a conversation today.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Period. All right, thank you real good luck. See tell
thinks it could work.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
Thank you, it could work. I can see the dance work.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
You can see that work here. That's the first time
I heard you say.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
She got to communicate and then he got a comprehend.
So had that conversation today and then Collos tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Communicate and comprehend with Tella It's way up when we
come back. Saint John is going to be joining us
his new album Festival Season. His new collection will be
out February twenty First, It's way up.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Everybody listen, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ye.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
But you're all being waiting.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
For Oh you're tapped in the way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
What's it's way up at Angela Yee?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
And this is exciting cuts for the first time Saint
John is hanging out here with me.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Yes I am.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
It was a little blast miths Earlier. You said you're
not from Brooklyn, are you? And I said, actually, yes
I am.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Where do you think I was from?
Speaker 4 (29:13):
I wasn't super sure.
Speaker 14 (29:15):
I knew it was the East Coast, right because it's
the East Coast energy, but I was like, it might
not be Brooklyn.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
But sometimes people say that about me, they think I'm
from like London or something.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
I can see that.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
I think they just saying I'm flying.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
You could be flying from Brooklyn.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
Too, Nah, but it's a different thing.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
But you're very eclectic.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
I think what does that mean when people say that.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
It means that you can't be boxed into a certain category.
But I think you have a lot of different things
and a lot of different sounds. Even your style is
not necessarily like I could tell where you're from.
Speaker 14 (29:43):
Right, it's not one dimensional, right. I always take that
when somebody says eclectic, like, oh, that's a synonym for widow.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
You call me a widow. But I think you meant that.
But that's about the clarify it. People could say, oh,
you dynamic, it carries the same energy. Eclectics definitely sounds
like widow.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
No, because I think dynamic means more like energy wise.
I think eclectic is more style wise.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
In my head, that's how you interpret it.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
We actually in my college at Wesley, and we had
a house called the Eclectic House.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Well, you know what you might be right now, I know.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
What you see. I know I know what the collector house.
I know what's going on.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
You're dynamic, and I just want to say you're very dynamic.
Right right now, I'm talking to Saint John. He's got
his new collection dropping February twenty first festival season. Why
did your mom change the locks on you? Because I've
always wanted to know all. Shout out to Cakira who
held you down.
Speaker 14 (30:30):
Back first of all the crib that she's in Now
is the turn change the locks on me? Is the
crib that I paid off? That's the full circle moment.
I was living in Connecticut. I lived in Connecticut for
like three years after high school, and I was just
trying to figure out music and hustle and figure figure
out modeling all types of things. Whatever the finance was.
I was trying to make it work. And I was
working at this call center. They sold this product called Snuggy.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Oh I love Snuggy with the little I'm not gonna lie.
I had a Snuggy, even got one.
Speaker 14 (31:00):
I was working at the cost and I never got one.
I remember what I was making till I was making
seven twenty five an hour, so I.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Was like slinging snuggies, slinging snuggies.
Speaker 14 (31:09):
So I got home one day and my mom I
looked clean. I always looked like I had it together.
So I remember getting home one day and it was
New Year's even my mom had change the locks, so
she thought I was getting money and not giving her none. Okay,
they broke my whole heart. Now ended up homeless for
a little bit and then Kyra helped me down.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Prior to that, were you a good kid or were
you doing things that made her feel like my son
is going down the wrong path.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
I was like a half wicked kid, but I had
good intentions.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
He's so good at this, ladies, you hear this, Okay,
go ahead.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
It's true.
Speaker 14 (31:40):
I had really good intentions because all of my brothers
would have They would have worst. They were themon time,
so naturally that rubs off. But everybody doing the extreme
wickedness like it wasn't going good for nobody. And I
was a younger brother, so I had to make good decisions,
better decisions. I'm like, oh, oh, that's not gonna work
if I go hustle. Look, it's like it's six of y'all,
everybody getting thought, uncle's getting locked. Oh this ain't no
(32:02):
Tony Montana movie. This ain't gonna work. One of us
gotta do something different. So I participated in some things
and then other things. I tried to be like way
more smart, way more advanced, because I just didn't think
I was. I didn't have to luck I'm confessing no,
and I'm just saying, we all know somebody from somewhere
doing something super slimy and they're the luckiest personal nothing
never happens. I wasn't that kid. I just didn't how
(32:24):
that looks. It wasn't gonna go.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Good for me.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
You had a different type of finesse to.
Speaker 14 (32:28):
Different type of finests. So nah, it wasn't like I
was up and I was getting money and I was thriving.
So I'm not sure what my mom thought. She just
a Guyanese parents where she's like, yo, you eighteen, you
an adult. You gotta paid bills like dog.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Saint John is here.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
He's also from Brooklyn, He's Guyanese and he's got a
new collection dropping February twenty first festival season.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
We have more with him when we come back.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
It's way up, way up with Angela ye.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
What's up is way up with Angela yea. And I'm
talking to Saint John Poppin'. Let's talk about this song
for a second, because it feels a little different for you.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
It's got like a sexy red vibe.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
But it was a risk for you, which I don't
think that you're reverse to that.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
But talk to me about that song.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
It's just an ignorant record. It's not in my catalog.
The music.
Speaker 14 (33:16):
I've touched the space a bunch of times. These just
saw my biggest records, right, So to be to be
gone for four years and come back and present this
like this is something you need to see. It's aggressive,
it's almost disruptive. So if you just wanted to hear
something melodic and something pleasant, it's not that. But that's okay.
Everything has its place. Take keith it you ain't crazy.
(33:36):
It's ignorant because that's part of my dynamic. That's what
makes me, that's what makes you.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Because I feel like we all have that. We have
all sides, right, Yeah, even.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
The girls going to church be twerking. So it's just
that Christian sex club, Christian sex club.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
I mean, it all is kind of like that.
Speaker 14 (33:53):
It lives in my space. I always dance on the line.
I dance on the line of.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Is that okay? Did he go too far? Is it
too far? What does he mean? Do I believe in that?
Is it exciting?
Speaker 1 (34:03):
You know?
Speaker 2 (34:03):
But like you said, it's been four years, So did
you have any type of like hesitation about it or
were you just like you just don't care?
Speaker 14 (34:10):
I do care. Be foolish to pretend like I don't care.
I almost care too much. But I didn't want to
overproduce the results.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Of it. For one, when you listen to this entire
body of work, all of it will makes sense.
Speaker 14 (34:21):
Okay, when you take things outside of context of you know,
the whole soundbit, the whole collection, you might itemize and
be like, I don't want that.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
I get why you don't want that.
Speaker 14 (34:30):
If I just took a scene out of pulp fiction
and gave you no context to it, it just seems
like the guy's having a monologue about nothing.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
But when you watch the movie, you go, oh, he
was gonna kill me. That's it.
Speaker 14 (34:41):
The entire cinema of this performance. Sonically, it all reads
well together, it all lives well together. It's a live show.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Right now, I'm talking to Saint John.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
He's got his new collection dropping February twenty first festival season.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
I'm gonna talk about some of the songs that really
stuck out to me. All right, sad.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
You know, I think relationship wise too, as you talk
about how there's these different sides to you. Relationship wise,
I can't figure out what it is that you want
because you know, you had the song previously wedding day
and it feels like you want to be married and
you want it to last forever.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
But then I don't know.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
It just don't be working, sots working.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Is it because of you or.
Speaker 14 (35:21):
Oh, I got to be partially accountable. Maybe it's because
of me. Maybe maybe because I make bad picks. I'm
not really sure, but it got to be a combination
of things. If I keep picking bad, then I got
to be on me right. Okay, So even look in
all of my artwork, there's a reoccurring theme. I keep
putting me in a bride. There's always a woman in
a veil. I keep flirting with the idea because the
fantasy in my mind is to meet the type of
(35:41):
woman that would make me want to get married, not
forced me to marry her, but would be so exciting
that me. It would make me challenge something that it's
not something I believe in, because the idea of marriage
just don't work in twenty twenty five. The sanctity of
it is a beautiful concept, but the practicality of it,
living through it, it's really difficult, and most people can't
survive it. So I'm constantly am flirting with the danger
(36:03):
of Oh, I'm telling the truth, the danger of I
don't really believe in. It's because it don't work. But
I'd like to be the place where somebody makes me
feel so compelled that I want to try something that
I know is disasters.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
