Speaker 2 (03:55):
Let's talk about two chains.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
He's very upset that his friends skipped his holiday turkey
drive and will give you the details what made him
so mad about it. When you're trying to do some
positive things, you've supported people at least they could do
with support you back. Sure, we'll talk about it. And
yet it's way up from.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
Industry shade to all of gossip out.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Angels feeling that, all right, it's way up with Angela Yee,
I'm here and singer, entrepreneur, producer. You will not say
singer you are, You will not have a song. Yeady
is here, guest hosting. She playing with my head, She
playing with me and let's.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Get into the Yet so to change.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
It's frustrated because people were supposed to show up his
friends to his annual holiday turkey drive that's organized by
his true foundation, and some people, I guess just did
not come and support the way that he would have anticipated. Right,
we have expectations of our friends, people we've helped out.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
He went on Instagram Live and said this.

Speaker 5 (04:56):
People asked me for favors all the time, asked me
for more honey all the time, and y'all can't even
pop up to help me help out the people. So
now I'm working for you, I'm helping the unfortunate, and
you learned the unfortunate. Like, I'm just sit in here thinking, man,
y'all had to leave me to long for a minute.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
He's frustrated.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Listen, I get his point. Yes, you know, people show
up to the club. They'll show up to dinner and
don't want to pay none of the bill at all.
They'll show up when you got to go shopping to
get something, to throw something on the register. But when
you're doing something good for the community or something that
they don't deem cool or fun.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
It's like, oh, we ain't got time for that.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
Nah.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
If you're gonna be my friend, you're gonna show up,
show up for all of this.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
And I think what's important is because sometimes you don't
know if somebody has something else going on, let me know,
right If you know you can't make it, let me know,
send somebody else.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Like you need some help, you know, cause it is
hard to get.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Some people want to be there for the fun stuff,
but they don't always want to be there for to
give back exactly all right now, Kay Sinatt has ended
his Mafia Fine two stream, but he broke the Twitch
subscriber record in the process. Over seven hundred and twenty
eight thousand followers.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
You know, the previous high was set.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
By Iron Mouse with three hundred and twenty six thousand,
so he has basically almost doubled that.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Oh my gosh. And he had everybody come through.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
I mean people, we would not have even thought Chris
Brown was their sissy, and Lizzo Kyrie Irving was in
there cramming a good time.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
So here's what he had to say.

Speaker 8 (06:20):
I can't do the things that I really want to do,
like can't go out for the clubs. I can't do that.
But it's all part of this whole thing. And I
understand that fully. I understand that you have to make sacrifices.
You got to put yourself in a position to literally
achieve and be great.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
And what's gonna make you great?

Speaker 8 (06:37):
You had to discipline, put time into it, think different,
be different, live different.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Wow. I love that.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
I love to see this young brother breaking down walls,
setting up new trends and really becoming the culture. You know,
It's funny because my kids, you know, my kids are
in that whole streaming life, especially little in DC. They
love him, and I'm always like, what is this the
best y'all watching what's going on that? I remember that
video he was in the shower doing so I'm like,
this man is streaming in the shower. What are we
doing here?

Speaker 2 (07:05):
But it's working. He's created a lane.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
And I know you said seven hundred and twenty eight thousand,
these people are subscribing monthly, paying a monthly fee.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Is nicking? Do you understand much money he's making a month.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
It's like even if it was five dollars a month,
five dollars on seven hundred and THO, like, do you
understand what the leather is making? I tell you yea
to be about her three something million dollars a month
at bare minimum and it was sitting.

Speaker 2 (07:28):

Speaker 3 (07:29):
I want to say, is that white people are like

it's marketing. He's gonna have a good time with you.

It's not listen, cod if you want me to come

Speaker 3 (07:50):
It's great for entrepreneurship because you can get up there

they're going to be at least half a million people
tuned in to hear about what you got to talk about.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
So I get it. Hell, let's do it.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
And lastly, I just want to say also, I saw
that Queen Latifa and Lady of Rage were posted up together,
so they have something in the works. The Lady of
Rage posted, Hm, what's going on here? Stay tuned? What

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Okay, I told you Yanni ka sing don't play with her?
Can you stop? All right?

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Well, we come back and we have about last night.
That's what where we discussed what we did last night.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
I ain't gonna lie.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
I watched this movie it's called Mister Santa, a Christmas
extravagance that we're going to talk about it.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
It's way up.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
So about last night.

Speaker 9 (08:45):
I went down, let me hear you do a little
last night last night, and now we're doing about last night.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
So last night, in all transparency, I had a chance
to watch Mister Santa, a Christmas Extravaganza. That's the movie
that Yandy Is has produced that's gonna be at this week.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Actually it is. I'm super excited. So it's a children's movie.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
You know how, sometimes you just need some good, wholesome
fun for the kids. And I think there's one company
that monopolizes kids movies.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
We all know who that is.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
I got to see Mauana this weekend, but I wanted
to be a part of something that was for kids,
for us, by us. But the thing is, the director
has something else in mind and asked me to be
on the soundtrack. Who So you've been singing, so tell
us about last night for you? So last night for me,
which was this past week and Thanksgiving, was great. I
spent it with the family. Right after Thanksgiving Friday, I

(09:44):
learned that I would be singing this song live at
the Atlanta premiere. So I was like, I hope y'all
got all type of studio sessions, rehearsals and all kind
of vocal coaches. Because I'm not a real singer. I
just happen to be able to hold a note. We
saw the video, some were singing it went viral. They
were like, look at Yandy, Ye Yandy could sing.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Oh my God.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
And you know they are ruthless in comments. So I
was like, I am not reading the comments, no way,
never positive. But I heard that the comments have been
positivity in there, you know what. To be honest with you,
I am proud of how the song turned out. I
think it's so cute and I'm actually loving the moment
of being in the student. Now this live performance, I
get up, I think about it and I'm sick to
my stomach. So it's coming up in three days, so

(10:26):
I spent my weekend rehearsing. Can we get a little hook? No,
you cannot get anything. Come to the joke, Come to
the premiere. I'll give you some tickets. Actually, I'll give
some of your listeners some tickets. Okay, I'll leave up
ten tickets for you guys. So anyone in Atlanta that
wants to come, just hit up Angela and we will
give you guys ten to the premiere and listen. This

(10:46):
is a family friendly movie, so I want to stress
that too, so you can definitely take your kids to
go see it. It has all the things that we've
had to deal with in school, coming up, a little
bit of bullying, but then over pulling a little bit
of the cool kids versus the theater kids when they
have to come together, work together to put something together
for their high school.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
And I think that it turned out to be really
really good. The ending is great.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Yes, So you guys can DM us DM me at Angela. Ye,
if you want to get that Lincoln, We'll get you
some tickets and you can. But you got to do
it fast because I know everybody's gonna want to do this.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
It's Wednesday, all.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Right, and you know, shout out to my family. They
came over in my house for Thanksgiving. So I have
a new house that a lot of them have not
had a chance to see yet that I moved into
that's getting finished, but it was finished enough to do Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
There soot to cook.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
So I was gonna say shout out to DJ Will
who catered all right, thank you dj Will, Okay, and
they loved his food, And to Evelyn's Kitchen, who also caters.
I had two different catering experiences.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Unlimited food. It was amazing.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
It had so much food that the next day I
had friends come over to eat some and everybody else
who got to take food home because I overdid it
and I didn't cook a thing, but they loved it,
love it, so basically you didn't but it was no
great time. But I did heat stuff up, all right.

Speaker 10 (18:58):
I'm gonna say this would humbly, but I really mean this.
I think one day people are gonna wake up and
realize that ll Who Jay is the most important rapper
that ever existed. When it comes to the jewelry, this
is the guy who introduced all the diamond and the
ice in the champagne. They're gonna say, when it comes
to the love songs, this is the guy who introduces
the love songs and all the love. When it comes
to business, they're gonna say what, Like, I could go

(19:19):
on and on and on and on and on.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Okay, and then look, he was definitely listing all of
his accolades.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
We were talking about this behind the scenes, D and D.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
I definitely think Ll is iconic to hip hop, iconic,
and there's not a lot of people that I would
call iconic right right, icon living, that's it. But he
is the person the first artist to sign the Deaf Jam.
He was one of the first solo artists to go
global and hip hop, and he also had his endorsements
with Kango remember the Fooboo situation.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
I do you know?

Speaker 4 (19:50):
I do?

Speaker 3 (19:50):
He did do a lot of things super early and
also acting. Yeah, he is definitely the triple threat. And
I think that his contributions have been endless when it
comes to hip hop and the way that he's been
able to break down walls when it comes to these
huge ambassadorship deals, even going into TV.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
He's done a lot of monumental things. So shout out
to you l L.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
And you know, they were asking him about him possibly
doing a movie about his career and he said, it's
impossible based on everything that he's done, But you could
also do a Pierod book. Yeah, he did put out
a book before, by the way I read his book, he.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Did, but that was a while.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
There's been so much and even with the book, people
focus so much on the drug youth aspect of it.
There was so much in that book and there's so
much more that has happened since then.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Book was pretty good.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
Yeah, what he could do is a movie based on
just that part of his life, right, because the earlier
part of being like one of the first people, one
of the first hip hop artists signed the Dead Jam
going global, kind of like how Son Peppa did their
movie or you know, just based on the early part
of it that was the groundbreaking party. He better hurry
up because Lifetime can't wait to pick it up, you know,
they quick to spend a movie out. I can see

(20:54):
like also BT would do like a three part three
nights stories. All right, but 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
flying under the radar, but we want to make sure
that you're quite aware of them.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
It's way up in.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
The news that relates to you. These stories are flying
under the.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
Radar, all right, this way up at it into the
yee I'm here, my girl, Yandy's here, guest hosting What's up?

Speaker 2 (21:18):

Speaker 2 (21:43):
We got stuff for men.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
I'm looking at you over there across the hall from me. Ooh,
all right, here's the cobe Cyber seven two four.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
I'm on it.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
I'm on it baby, all right, and now let's do
some under the radar stories. Brain Rot has been named
the Oxford War of the Year for twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Now Websterys you know was demure.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Yeah, this one is brain rot and that is the
supposed deterioration of a person's mental or intellectual state, especially
viewed as the result of overconsumption of material, particularly online content.
My brain is riting as we sit here, for real,
all this tea we dropping is certainly written my brain.
Oh man, so, and I'm looking at all these other
cyber Oh I need a knife set, Oh I need

(22:27):
a podcast. This is a post. Oh yes, look here's
some pots. See this is the problem. We're brain riting.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah, all right.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
And President Biden has pardoned his son Hunter Biden. This
has been a huge story. This was first reported by
NBC News. He reportedly had said he would not use
his authority to partner his son or to commute his sentence,
but he has done that. On Sunday night, he said,
I believe in the justice system, but as I've wrestled
with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this

(22:53):
process and it led to a miscarriage of justice. And
once I made this decision this weekend, there was no
sense in delaying it further. He was supposed to be
sentenced on December twelfth for his conviction on a federal
gun charge, and then sentence on December sixteenth, and a
separate criminal case which he pleaded guilty to federal tax
evasion charges in September.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
But now he has pardoned his son.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
And they're saying this is a very sweeping, extraordinary political act.
He's insulated from ever facing federal charges over any crimes
he possibly could have committed over the past decade. There's
only one other person who's received the presidential pardon so
sweeping in generations, and that was Nixon, who was given
a blanket pardon by Gerald Ford in nineteen seventy four. Wow, listen,

(23:34):
if you're going to pardon anyone, why not be your own.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Flesh and bud.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
I also think that that property has done it for
mine as well.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
I'm not even going front. I ain't even hold you
ain't no probably you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
So I mean, listen, I feel like there's a few
more people that need to be pardoned Marilyn Mosby. To
be exact, there are a lot of people that I
think that he can actually make something makes sense, that's purposeful.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
That's your son. But now also there's some people that
need real pardons.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
And I will say, and Trump will not be able
to undo the party when he takes office. But you know,
they've been targeting Hunter Biden so much that I really
feel like this was Joe Biden's way of protecting his
son because they were going after him for anything. And
so you know, Donald Trump's going to pardon himself on everything,
and he's been getting everything, you know, delayed, thrown out, whatever.

(24:25):
So I mean, I'm not mad at it. All right, Well,
that is your under the radar and now you know,
we got the way Yup mix at the top of
the hour. Plus we have a special guest who's going
to be joining us KELLN Callaway, who wrote Mister Santa,
a Christmas Extravaganza.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Absolutely so proud of her.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
She's a high school student, her first directorial and writing
debut with her dad. Now you captat it and I'm
a producer on it. We'll talk about it all right,
you guys, keep it Lockedair's way up with Angelaee. Just
like to talk like they Angeli Jean like they Angela Jean.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
Man, She's spilling it all. This is yeaky way off.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
It's way up with Angela Yee. I'm here with my
co host for the day, Yandy.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Hey, Hey, hey, I like having you here. This is
good being. This is good on you. It feels like
good girlfriend talk. All right, Well let's get into some yet.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
So, yeah, Gotti has been stabbed at Fulton County Jail
annex and this happened yesterday. And so you know, he's
on trial with the whole YL Court and they're trying
to find out what's going to happen to him. But
they did say he suffered minor injuries. He's expected to
be in court today as that jerrors are continuing to
deliberate his fate in this YL trial. Wow, this trial

(25:36):
has taken us through all kind of emotions. Listen, up,
down and around the corner. And some positive things happened
for young thug too. So we did not expect that.
I sure didn't the longest trial like in history.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
I'm sure.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
I'm sure, Mariah, the science is expected it right, she said,
I'm done. Let me get this foot rubbed real quick,
all right. And the Wicked movie broken all time Broadway
adaptation record in eight days flat, So congratulations to them.
They did shy away from advertising Wicked as a musical,
but audiences did show up. Our girl, Chimo Sarrio went

(26:12):
twice already, she sure did and says she's going up
third time. Since I'm in New York. She wants me
to go with her today. Actually she's like, let's go.
I'll go again, No problem, all right? Kenjick Lamars GNX
debuted at number one on Billboard two hundred.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Are we surprised by that?

Speaker 3 (26:25):
At all three hundred and nineteen thousand equivalent album units
sold in the United States and the week ending November
twenty eighth, So congratulations, congrats.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah, excited about the super Bowl performance. I am, and
I see that.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
There's all kinds of rumors that they might be talking
to other people I cannot see because of this lawsuit
with Drake, there's all kinds of rumors about that. I
don't think that he's not going to be doing the
super Bowl halftime show because of that. But you know
where it is that Drake doesn't want him to perform
not like Us. And with this lawsuit, by the way,
it's had the reverse reaction because it's actually up the

(27:02):
streaming for not like Us. Wow, this whole loss is saying,
I see a lot of people having their own thoughts
about it because he's not doing Kendrick Lamar.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
He is suing a Universal Music Group. I mean, listen,
I would be pissed too.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
If it was my label and it's a record about me,
I would be like, nah, I'm good, yeah, and I
guess the accusations, but it is a rap battle, so
I mean that's they go low, you go beneath the belt.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
Well, listen. I heard Kendrick's album and it's actually that's amazing.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
It came out while I was on the air, like
Surprise Albums up, and we were struggling to listen to
it while.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
We were doing the show. But I want to say,
Luther is my song.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
So I said that when I first heard the album,
and I stick to that to this day.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
I love that song on the album. That's a good one,
all right.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
And the NBA's ratings are down big right now. They
said there's just too much awareness that an individual game
really doesn't matter. So it's a month into the season.
NBA ratings are down twenty eight percent on ESPN. The
ratings for games on TNT a flat at one point
eight million viewers per game, And they're trying to say
there's a lot of different factors that come into play here.

(28:06):
The NBA has too many regular season games and lacks continuity.
According to analysts, players are changing teams more frequently, and
teams are changing uniform designs more often, and that's confusing
and it turns off some of the fans. I'm also,
According to analysts, the NBA's social justice focus, starting with
Black Lives Matter, made the league a target for conservative
pundits and turned off right leaning viewers, and the league

(28:28):
and its players have shown a pentant for not valuing
the regular season enough. Coaches are resting star players for
long stretches to save them for the playoffs, and that
further hurts fan engagement. So wow, those are all the reasons.
All right, Well that is your Yet when we come back,
we have some of your friends joining us. Kellen Callaway. Yeah,
she's a high school student who also wrote and directed

(28:50):
Mister Santa, a Christmas Estravaganza. I cannot wait to sit
and talk with her, which is a movie that you
also are one of the producers of, and you're also
on the soundtrack and.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
We'll be playing that too. Hey, all right, his way.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
Up, Yeah, turn me up here.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
We grew up there.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
This is way up with Angela?

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Ye, what's up? His way up with Angela? Yee. I'm
here with my girl Yandy. Hey, hey, hey, and we
have a special guest joining us. Kellen Callaway is here. Hey, Kellen.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
Hi.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Now this is important because you and Yandy have worked
on something together, the movie Mister Santa, a Christmas Extravaganza, which,
by the way, I did watch last night.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
So congratulations on that. You're still a.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
High school student, yes, junior, and already a screenwriter.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
Yeah, So tell me how this happened, because I know
you and your dad worked on this together.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (29:37):
So at the beginning, it was kind of my dad's idea,
and then once he finished the script, he had me
read over the whole thing, and I was like, there
are parts of it that I wanted to add too,
So I helped him with that, and then I ended
up like adding things to it throughout the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
And he would need your help because you are a
high school student and this does take place in high school.

Speaker 11 (29:56):
Yeah. When he was writing some dialogue, I was like, oh,
nobody would ever say that.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Her dad and I went to high school together. So
I love these connections.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
It's so nice to work with people who you've known
for such a long time. And so what do you
think about Yandy singing? Kellen, let's talk about that, because
you always want to talk about stuff I don't want
to talk about you had doing a Christmas song though, I.

Speaker 11 (30:19):
Was really excited about it. I was really surprised when
I heard that she was going to be on the soundtrack,
and really excited because I'd never heard you sing. I know,
my dad said he heard you singing and that you
were really good, and I thought it was really good.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Also, thank you. It's impressive.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
Sometimes it's hard to get out of your own comfort zone,
and it feels like for both of you, you kind
of did that for this project, you know, Kellen, for
you coming in as a screenwriter, because you are a
screenwriter as well now, and that wasn't something that you
were all the way comfortable with at first, right.

Speaker 11 (30:48):
I had always been around my dad when he does projects,
so I've seen hymn screenwriting.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
And also I did write a.

Speaker 11 (30:56):
Book when I was younger, which we turned into a
short film.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Run Away Princess, Yes Princess.

Speaker 11 (31:02):
So I did have a little bit of experience, but
not since I was five or six or whatever that was.
So it was really enjoyable for me to get back
into that, and I think that might be something I'm
interested in going back into. Maybe I could write a
few scripts, maybe even some stories.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
I love that I could just write a few scripts.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
I'm not think our job is as parents, right. We
can provide a platform, we can provide the knowledge and
the resource that make it happen, and just really plant
the seed.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
So you are the manifestation.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
You are the harvest of the seed that your dad
has planted in so many My actual first acting role
was a movie that a film that Noel and I
produced a long time ago. It was called Lifeless Soul
and it was great and we kept our partnership going.
So when he called me like, I got this movie.
I want you to come on forard as a producer,
I'm like, of course, say less. Then he's like, but
this is something different. I want you on the soundtrack.

(31:53):
I was like, okay, I can get in a studio
with the artist. I can help produce that album.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
No no, no, no no, I want you singing on
the album.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
I was like, WHOA, You're going way too far with
this thing. You know, well, I don't know about that,
but I'm excited that I took the challenge you too
have a singing voice, like when you talk Rick, don't
you have that Rascal Mariah voice?

Speaker 2 (32:11):
Yeah, that is the first time I've ever heard that.
But I will take you.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
And I asked Yanny too. I was like, so, are
you gonna be on the Love and Hip Hop album?
And she said no, Well listen, we're gonna talk more
than Yandy when we come back. But Kellen, before you leave,
can you tell us, just for people who are listening
who might want to watch Missus Santa a Christmas Exuabaganza,
just give us a quick summary and how people can

(32:37):
watch the movie.

Speaker 11 (32:38):
Yes, okay, So mister Santah follows a group of kids.
They have to put on their own play and there's
a substitution that comes in and they think that it
might be Santa Claus.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Tell us who that substitute teacher is in real life?
That is Jeffrey Owen. Yeah, y'all know Jeffrey Owen.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (32:55):
The movie comes out this Friday in theater, so go
see that.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Well, thank you so much. We appreciate you for joining us.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Kelly Callaway and her dad Noel, who's here as well.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
I'm so proud of you. Yandy you're not off the
hook though.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
Oh all right, so you stay seated because you're co hosting,
but we're also talking to you.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
It's way up, y yee. But you all been waiting for.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
You're tapped in a way up with Angela yee. What's up?

Speaker 3 (33:23):
Its way up with Angela yee. I'm here, my girl,
Yandy Smith Harris is here. We in a building now.
You know, we've been talking all about the movie that
you produced, Mister Santa A Christmas six Javaganza. We also
talked about the Christmas song we did that you are
performing for the movie premiere?

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Yeah, in two days.

Speaker 6 (33:40):
I know.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
It's crazy. How are you feeling? Just you mentioning it?

Speaker 3 (33:43):
I got bubble guts all over again. Every time someone
talks about it. I get so nervous. It's like that
nervous where you feel sick. Right, that's what's happening. Let
me ask you this though. Don't you feel like it's
fun to challenge yourself? Sometimes it is, but you know,
when it comes to like vocal things, you never know
what can happen in the studio. So I can that
that can be pre controlled, but actually on stage for

(34:04):
a live performance, I'm like, please, let's sound come out.
Please let my voice not crack. You see these horror stories,
you know, if someone's singing live and they're like, oh,
let me start all over like gnosis, you're live, They'll
starting home and there's no starting over.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
So I'm like, oh my god.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
These people have had years of practice and things happen
with them, and you know how the internet is.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
They love to love to hate you. So I'm like,
oh my gosh, god, please.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
So I've been rehearsing and just trying to get it together,
but I am so nervous. I felt good about that though,
because I think, you know, the first thing I would
say is when I see people perform connecting with the audience,
they all know this is they know you.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
They're familiar with you. They know you as an entrepreneur.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
They know you from being on TV on Love and
Hip Hop Atlanta this season. You know you've been on
Love and Hip Hop Atlanta. They know all of those things.
They know you from your skincare, they know you from
your restaurant what's it called crance and crape dancing crape,
so all of these different Then they know you as
a mom, you know as well, and now the says
something different, a different space that you're moving into. I
think the honesty and transparency of being nervous and being like,

(35:06):
you know this, y'all give me some grace because this
is not my world now. Y'all know y'all love to say, oh,
you know, Yandy love a check.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
She does.

Speaker 3 (35:12):
And honestly, when this came about, it was it was
a really nice amount of money. So I was like,
in the beginning, I'm like, oh, yeah, what get on
the soundtrack?

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (35:20):
Cool.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
Had I known in the beginning that there was a
live performance attached with this, I think I might have
turned down there. You didn't read the whole contract okay,
And my manager did that on purpose, not telling.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Me all of the things.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
So I'm like, oh my gosh, I have to keep
my word. I signed on the dot of line.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
I got it. I have to do it.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
I have to follow through. So you know, my family's excited.
You know, the kids have been excited. My husband's excited.
So I have to do this, even if it's for them.
But I'm just praying that I do it right, and
you do. He thinks I do, And I'm like, why
don't you get up there with me. He's YEADI, Why
are you nervous? You could just do it, just go hey,
do you know that He's like when you get up
there with angel you should give them a snippet just singers.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
I said, what you trying to?

Speaker 9 (36:01):
No, let me get on, No, no, no, okay.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
Let me find out buddy and Clyent here, please stop it.

Speaker 4 (36:10):
No.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
Look when we come back, because we didn't even talk
about love and hip hop Atlanta, I want to make
sure we talk about it because YA definitely has some
things going on.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
We always got things going on, and.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
We want to clarify because we're getting ready for the
new season and all of that, so we want to
know what's happening, and I want you to address some
of the Yande men DC goings on for this last season.
All right, it's way up.

Speaker 4 (36:31):
This is way up with Angela. Let's go. You are
a media maven, right, you never know what AND's gonna say?

Speaker 2 (36:38):
What's up?

Speaker 3 (36:38):
As way up at Angela? Yee, I'm here, Yandy Smith,
Harris is here with me. We are in the building
full name to talk about love and hip hop Atlanta.
We got to discuss this because you guys went viral
a few different times for seeings, and one of them
was when you guys were outside of the performance where
Spice had the whole album launch party for the album

(37:00):
and the woman on the show, Oh my gosh, why
am I forgetting her name?

Speaker 2 (37:04):
The same one that oh Jasmine?

Speaker 3 (37:06):
Okay, Jasmine, she's the one that has a baby with
Kirk and Rashida.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
We've seen that whole thing play out.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
He finally admitted, you know, to whatever went on between
the two of them. But then she tried to come
at you and Man d C and say that Man
DC comes to the bar where she works and her
friend's bar as well, and I'm not sure what she
was trying to say. What happened, Man DC was like,
I went in order to drink. I wasn't trying to
talk to nobody, right, So did that catch you off guard?
Because sometimes people think that these things are pre planned

(37:34):
and you're in on it.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
So it completely caught me off guard.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
I hated the way they edited that scene because first
of all, you can't walk up to me and my
husband and say anything without me being.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
Like, what what are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (37:46):
Of course I knew who she was because a couple
weeks prior to that, I sat at a bachelorette party.
She was there and she wanted to drop some tea
and I was like, listen, I don't want to hear
no tea about my friends. I said, if you want
to talk about somebody's husband, let me get her on
the phone, and you could talk to my friend about
her husband. But I'm not gonna be the bone carrier
waiting to tell her, you know, in my next scene,

(38:07):
I'm not doing any of that. Don't talk to me
about none of my friends. So we had an interaction
that wasn't so pleasant when Carlie Redd introduced us, and
I was just like, I'm not here for the drama.
So my attitude was very stand offish in the beginning.
So when she saw me that next time at the concert,
it was like, oh, the Rashida cult leader. That's not
a slight to me. That's my friend, and I'm gonna

(38:28):
stand for my friends. So I'm like, what's up? And
then it was very oh yeah, men, DC you know me,
And I'm like, because now they said it was, it was,
it was real like, and I said, well, well, what's up.
I'm looking at I'm like looking at him looking at like, Okay,
he knows you from where what happened? And she's like, oh,
because you be at my bar. So now I'm like,
we both be at bars, but what's what's up? What's
wrong with him being at a bar? And I'm waiting

(38:48):
for and see, the thing is with new people that
come on our show, they always look for that aha moment.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
So that could be a cast member. So I in
my head, I'm like, oh.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
It's gonna be her because behind the scenes, I know
what's about to say something crazy. And all I'm telling
myself is, Yandy, no matter what she say, You're gonna
deal with this at home.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
But does she get disrespectful?

Speaker 3 (39:08):
And I'm like, so, I'm bracing myself, like so, so
what I said to her, I was like, so you
know him from the bar?

Speaker 2 (39:12):
What happened at your bar? Did he touch her?

Speaker 11 (39:14):
He?

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Did he smack some? Did he what happened?

Speaker 3 (39:17):
And then when she answered me, it was kind of
like and he's like, I don't even remember you.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
He's like, Yandy, I don't even I hit.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
The ball, Like I don't even know what he was like, huh.
So when she said, you know, they cut me talking,
they cut it out like I just stood there like
a mute but whatever. When she said, oh, well I
know him because he ordered a drink, everything in me
I think I did bust out laughing, but they didn't.
You don't see that either, because I'm like, when you
go to bars, most people order. So I'm like, yo,

(39:47):
I said, who prepped her?

Speaker 2 (39:49):
Like what, dude? Was a press because y'all if anything
like what people do.

Speaker 3 (39:52):
All the time on these shows for that aha moment,
they'll sit there and say a lot. Oh, he was
fondling me, he was touching my breast. He was doing
this because then I would have to deal with some
real life stuff, you know, in the middle of that
concert hall and then in front of the world when
she said he ordered a drink, Yeah, that did it.
I don't understand what it was, like, who believe it?
I'm out of here, because that could have been that
friendly interaction where it was like, hey, oh, yeah, I've

(40:13):
met you at the barber before you ordered to drink.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
You probably don't remember me.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
Period, and that that's the way it was. Like DoD
I'm like, what is she gonna say? And when we
were walking out, he's like, man, we're done. He was like, honestly,
I never even been to that. He's like, I don't
even remember. He was like, it looks like she's just
looking for something to say. He was like, he was like,
I know that that's Kirk's baby mother. So if I
was there, I would have at least remembered, Oh, that
was Kirk's baby mother that served me that drink. He like, so,
I'm sure this was a moment just to be on

(40:37):
the show, to have something to.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
Say and then used it.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
And when you come to the moment, yeah, you see
the next thing because we walked out ready to go,
took off oure. Mike's thinking it was over, but they're like, nah,
we didn't make a moment. So here they come running
outside and I'm like, oh, you want a moment. So
I said, all right, let's play. All right, Yandy Smith
Harris is here with me, and we're gonna talk more
about loving hipoppet Land And when we come back, it's
way up at Angela Yee, turn me up.

Speaker 4 (41:00):
We go up. This is way up with Angela yee.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
What's up? His way up with Angela yee. I'm here.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
Yandy Smith Harris has been guest hosting but of course,
you know, I have to put her in the hot seat.
I want to say though, on the show, I do
love the fact that, you know, for the sake of
little Man DC, you've managed to come together with Mendyc's ex. Yeah,
And I think those things that moments like that are
important because those are real moments where there's tension, but
then you guys, for the sake of the bigger picture

(41:28):
for sure, which is family, you guys managed to come together.
And I love that the show was able to capture
that because on real life and TV they saw us
go through some really tough moments, right with me DC
not being there, us trying to co parent and raise
these children are brothers and sisters and trying to be
a blended family. It's not easy. It's not easy for
most people. But even to sit down again and be like,

(41:49):
you know what, we got to make this right in
front of the world, with public opinion, with judgment.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
It is hard.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
Yeah, because things like that can help spark other people
that may be going through it because those are not
easy to situation.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Its not being in.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
Situations, and you know, it was so important for Big
Mean DZ to make sure we were all on the
same page. And even though I was like, I just
want to be in our little world, and I was like,
you know what, he's right, and we came to the
table and now you know, Samantha and I, you know,
we talk all the time. We were tag team and
getting in DC ready for college. So now it's a
great relationship. It's not even okay, it's a great relationship.

Speaker 1 (42:24):
You know.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
So seeing things like that, I'm happy to see, you know,
even seeing like when you opened your restaurant. That's a
big deal to see on the show, and restaurants are
on this show. I've birthed not only children, I've also
birthed businesses like they see me start Yell Skincare, right
and probably Yell Skincare is a company that's grossing over
fifteen million a year. Like it's doing a lot of

(42:45):
different things thanks to the show, right, Like that was
my whole purpose in being a person that helped create
this show. We wanted to give women a platform where
they can have these businesses. They were the pillar behind
these men and hip hop, but we also wanted to
give them a voice for their business to spot like
what they have going on. So a lot of y'all
when y'all come on the show. This is a message
for everyone that's watching. When you get on this show,

(43:06):
figure out what is my end goal on all of this.
Do I want to be known as the homewrecord, Do
I want to be known as the girl that came
in just to wreck stuff up and turn things upside down?
Or do I want to be known as a business woman?
And I know it's not easy to have your relationship
focused on television like that, because then there'll be all
these rumors scrolling around, Like y'all squash those rumors, like
we are together, we are and then we are, But

(43:27):
of course, like any other couple, we go through things,
and you guys were able to see us go through
things several times. But you know, the public opinion, the noise,
the judgment, we have to mute those and when we
come home it has to be about us, our family
and our kids, so we don't necessarily read the comments.
We see it go up and we're like, oh lord,
we're on a block again.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
Cause let me tell you said that about man DC.

Speaker 3 (43:47):
Just he will say something, and what I realized is
that sometimes he doesn't understand, like when he says things
that people will take that and run with it and
make it into something, you know, so much bigger than
a moment.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
Just besides me. It's so funny.

Speaker 3 (43:59):
He just put up something on his YouTube page and
it's all about that. It's like, I might not say
things the right way. Sometimes I might not mean the things.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
Y'all take it wrong.

Speaker 3 (44:08):
So go to the YouTube is Harris's Family TV, and
you'll be able to see him just talking exactly about
that again.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
And that was the thing.

Speaker 3 (44:16):
Well, I never stopped well both of you together, I
mean hearing he was mad at me, and he was like,
I'm gonna teach you a lesson until you respect me,
I'm gonna show you. And I was like, all right,
But he didn't know that was gonna have the votures
coming on. You got this person saying this on live,
this vlogger saying this. So he's like, oh, shoot, where
am I ring at again? Quick fast and in a hurry,

(44:36):
lesson learned for me? Like he thought it was gonna
be me learning a lesson. He learned a lesson. Right,
we have issues, but my issues have never been other women.

Speaker 7 (44:45):
Right.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
I don't think I'm perfect in any way, nor is
he and we have a lot of things that we
deal with, but when it comes to this TV show,
they will go for the most salacious story, and a
rumor alive will travel so much faster than the truth.
So it's like, oh, they're going through things.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
Let's run with the fact that he must be cheating,
right or you or me? Yeah, you know, stay tuned
Season B loving her.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
Oh you heard it, We're gonna see it.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
But y'are good man. DC is around. I think he's
downstairs or yeah, he's right down there.

Speaker 3 (45:17):

you so much for coming on here and always being transparent.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
