But shout out to Erica, that's amazing.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
And when we come back, we have your Yuti and
let's talk about boosy is Raloh. The two of them
have been having some words for each other and it's
feeling kind of ugly, all right, beefing on social media.
It's way up with Angela yee yea t is next this.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Place in the rooms, from industry shade to all of
gossip out sending Angela's is feeling that yet.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
All right, his way up, I'm here, my guy Maino morning.
All right, let's get into this yet Boosy badass versus Raloh. Now,
Boosy has responded after Raulh went on live and said
that he does not want to be performing in his forties.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
His fifties. Here's what he had to say.
Speaker 9 (04:37):
And I'm focused on signing artists and being a CEO
of a labor.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
I'm gonna get old.
Speaker 9 (04:42):
Well, I ain't trying to be on staying like Boosy gravel.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Will he follow a fifty years old?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
All right?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Well, Boozy responded to that and said on social media,
I have not spoken on you in years.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Rala.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
You still heard by what you did what you did, Lol,
I'm grateful that I'm still making one hundred and fifty
thousand a weekend and selling out. You don't have a
rap career and we'll never have one. And you're right,
you should be a CEO because one thing you can't
do is make music. Got to not give you that talent.
Hashtag leave hip hop alone. Every other month you mentioned
in me smah to get me off your mind and
(05:14):
stop using my name for clout.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
So yeah, I think it's personal.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
No, it's personal. Obviously something happened in the past.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Probably Yeah, he said that.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
You know, he did a verse in a video for
Free for You when you was locked up and refused
to take the ten k you was trying to pay me.
So that does hurt when I did something for.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
You, right, But something happened though, that's that's a personal shot. Well.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Raloh responded to Boosie and here's what he said.
Speaker 10 (05:42):
I to hear you gonna get mad and me because
I said I ain't want to be of a certain
age on stage rapping.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
I ain't saying.
Speaker 10 (05:51):
Nothing was wrong with the Goats going on mother Face
rapping and doing a month and I just personally don't
want to do it.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
He on stage now rollo.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
No, he's saying you don't want to.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Be what I'm saying, like he be on stages a
lot now.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
I don't think so, but I'm not sure. I don't
know now.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Raalo also said Auntie Buobo, I love you and maybe
we can sit and drink us a cold forty five
and talk, But you get on the internet telling the
world I got to number and you know, damn well,
I've been in prison six years. You ran to the
breakfast club before me and called me a rat in
front of the whole world, like it's against the street
code to take a charge.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
What you know, I had to lead up to that rat,
got it?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
So that's that's the issue, okay, But yes, so there
was more to it than that. So you can read
their full back and forth if you should feel like it.
All right now, Lil Wayne has announced a Hot Boys
reunion at Little Louisiana Fest twenty twenty four. That's a
big deal, all right. There was the Batch Hotboys reunion
(06:54):
in July, so he wants to do this official comeback.
So they just announced this and there's gonna be additional
artists and activation scheduled to be announced in the coming weeks.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
But it is back.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
So you guys can definitely go out to New Orleans
to Smoothie King Center to go to that Little Wisiana
Fast We might got to make that trip, all right now.
Lil Wayne also went on Instagram to get some other news.
He's in the studio. Here's what he said, and I'm
working on car to six.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
I just want you to know that I just never finished.
I was lying. I'm working on called the twenty six.
I think you already know that.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
All right, So there you have it.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Lil Wayne is definitely gonna be a person as he's
older to still do music. And I also think hip
hop is younger than other forms of music that we're
gonna see artists getting older type.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Right, that doesn't apply.
Speaker 10 (07:41):
That doesn't apply no more because at the end of
the day, but you got to look at a simple math, right,
You didn't have thirty year old rappers back in the
eighties because hip hop itself.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Wasn't even thirty.
Speaker 10 (07:51):
I've just turned fifty, do you go? So now nowadays
you have all this thoughting careers in their thirties.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
All right now?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Play by CARTI had to move because fans discovered where
he lived. They discovered his home address. He was tucking
a billboard, and he talked about the process of recording
his last album, Whole Lot of Red, and the difficulties
that happened. He said the anticipation grew so high that
fans started to stalk him and members of his family.
He said that fans sent flowers to his mom's house,
and then he had to uproot and move his own
(08:19):
home when his own homemaddress leaked online. But he said
he was appreciative of people who supported him and he's blessed.
But it is frustrating because that's where we have to
lay our heads and so understanding that these are fans
blessing to that, but I didn't want to have to move.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
All right, Well that is your yet.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Now when we come back, we have about last night
where we discussed what we did last night. In the meantime,
let's hear some weekend here is earned it And he
also announced his new album, Hurry Up Tomorrow is on
the horizon.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Dan our producer is excited. It's way up.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
So about last night, Yes, I went down the last.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Night, all right, his way up at Angela. Yeere manos
here may know what were you doing?
Speaker 10 (09:03):
I spent a lot of time looking for my phone.
It was up here, and it was up here. I
went to T Mobile, I went to Apple.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
No one told you your phone was up here.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
I called Dan. He said, it's not up here. I
clean up. I cleaned up the station. It's not here.
I cleaned.
Speaker 10 (09:17):
But you have two phones right now two phones, so
I'm looking for it and then I'm looking on fine
to find me at find my phone.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
It's not it's not showing why not. I don't know
why would it not.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
So maybe you don't have it LinkedIn.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
Yeah, And the thing is it shows it shows one
day phone.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
No, it wasn't that.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Somebody.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
It was on the charger, so I didn't get charge
your phone for you. You know what a feeling? What
type of feeling that is. There's been times I forgot
my phone at home and had to be outside all day.
It's like, think about it's gonna sound think about the
time and we didn't have cell.
Speaker 10 (09:52):
Phones, but we wasn't dependent on don't but that's like
we're dependent on phones for everything information, news, uh, to
talk our people, like we to look at get a car, everything, everything,
every pay bill say.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Everything using Apple pay to stuff. I mean, that is
the worst. I'd rather forget my wallet than my phone.
Speaker 10 (10:12):
Used to just be a phone where you just picked
up the phone to call somebody.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Do you use everything on your phone that you can use?
Like do you pay for stuff using the apps?
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Do you do you pay for certain things on the app?
Speaker 8 (10:23):
Ye?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Not everything using Apple pay because there's times I've forgotten
my wallet at home, and I'm like, pretty soon, we're
not gonna need cash, We're not gonna need credit cards,
We're not gonna need any of those things. Everything is
just going to be your fingerprint. If you can use
your fingerprint to pay for all your stuff and to
do everything, are you okay with that?
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Some people feel like getting my.
Speaker 10 (10:42):
Information they got they got minds every anyway, they had
my DNA.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
A lot of people, they got me, they got me, right,

Speaker 3 (11:30):
It was to talk so bad.
Speaker 6 (11:31):

All right, it's way up.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I'm here, Mano's here right, all right, and let's get
into some yeat dancing with the Stars. Can you believe
it's season thirty three of Dancing with the Stars?
Speaker 8 (15:58):
Really?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
And I'll tell you who's on this season, Yes, seasons
a year.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Fager Parks is going to be on there. There's thirteen
celebrities on there. Faga Parks is on there. You know
what else is on there? And this is an interesting
one Dwight Howard, and I saw the picture. He's quite tall,
so he's lifting his partner up in the air. She's like,
he's so tall. But he's going to be on Dancing
with the Stars. Y'all got to vote to The woman
(16:27):
he's dancing with is Daniella carragatch, so that should be interesting.
Anna Delvey is going to be on there too, and
you know her from Inventing Anna on Netflix.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
She was the scammer.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and she's been.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
On under house arrest since twenty twenty two, so they
recently relaxed the terms of her house arrests.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
So I guess Inventing Anna.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Remember she was like scamming people. She was acting she
was an heiress. The real one be there, Yeah, the
real one, not.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
That Oh okay, got it.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
So we might got to watch some of the Tory
spelling is on there as well. I want to see
how far Dwight Howard goes.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
Well, we know how far he goes. He goes far,
all right, all right?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Speaking of NBA players, ex NBA star Glenn Davis, his
prison sentence was delayed. Now you know he was sentenced
to forty months in prison for his role in defrauding
an NBA insurance policy. Well, he has a seven week
delay now because they want him to finish filming a documentary.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
About his life.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
So before he does that, they're like, Okay, we know
that he needs to be able to finish his filming commitments.
They also believe the money that he makes when the
project can help offset this significant amount of money that
he owes, so they're allowing him to delay.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
To going to prison to finish that. I remember that
was crazy.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
It was twenty two people, including former NBA players and doctors,
who would charge in a conspiracy to defraud the league's
benefit plan. I can't believe that they would have done
something like that, especially because these are people that have money,
right all right, Ari Lennox talks about why she hasn't
started an only Fans account, and before we play this,
(18:04):
I just want to say, Arie Lennox has a very
funny sense of humor to me.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
So here's what you had to say.
Speaker 13 (18:09):
Sixty percent of the reason why I won't started only
Fans is because if I get on there and I
am not good at it, I'm going to be really
only making one dollar a month. Like I really got
crazy freaky on here and nobody is giving up the coin.
And then the other forty percent is my morals.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
I guess I can see.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Ari Lennox, Ari, I just want to say, on only fans,
they are trying to do like different types of content, like.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
What you don't have to be naked, you don't get
that break.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I mean, now Rawlings had only I don't think it
worked out those Yeah, but she does have a single
coming out and that's what she's promoting.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
Its called coming Out with Monsoon.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
That's coming out September thirteenth.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
You're only fans, Yeah, I'm thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I think you would do well doing what though, cooking
things like that, maybe a book club. Nice, Yeah, I
could say riding your bikes right right, right right, not
the bikes that you ride, but like a bicycle. All right,
all right, well that is your ut. When we come back,
we have under the radar. These are the stories that
(19:16):
are not necessarily and the headlines. They're flying under the radar,
but we want to bring them to Yeah anyway, so

and Maino's here, oh man, and we're doing these under
the radar stories.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
So we're looking at Navidia right now.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
And according to reports on Tuesday, around two hundred and
seventy nine billion dollars of value was wiped off of Navidia.
That was the biggest one day market capital capitalization job
for US DOC in history.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Wow, that is crazy.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
I know elevator went all the way to the basement.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
And I know everybody was talking about purchasing the stock.
So I guess we'll see what happens. The CEO, Jensen Huang,
lost ten billion dollars as the company stock plummeted and
his net worth fell to well, his fortune actually was
at a certain high. It soared by fifty one billion
just this year. But now Navidia has already lost about
(20:20):
two hundred and eighty billion dollars off of its market capitalization.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
So did it say what made it drop?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
It's a DOJ probe and so part of that is
Navidia's planned acquisition of run Ai, which makes software for
managing AI computing.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I guess maybe it has to do with this investigation,
but you know, I know a lot of people have
and anything can happen at this point right now, But
just letting y'all know that's why the stock market is volatile.
And if anybody tells you it's a guaranteed return on anything,
there is no such thing. All right now, it's a
new school year and some schools are saying that you
can't have on hoodies. You can't, we're all black clothing.
(21:02):
They're even talking about removing mirrors from school bathrooms in
some schools. Wow, I don't know what removing a mirror
will do for the bathroom. But did you have a
dress code when you were going to school coming up?
Speaker 6 (21:15):
All right?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Well, definitely.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I remember we weren't allowed to wear skirts that were
like above our like too far more than like two
inches above your knees, and you know, clothing that was
too tight and all kinds of things. Another thing that
they're doing is some kids have to drop off their
phones in one of those bags and a pouch when
they come into school, and they can't have it till
they go.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Into a Dave Chapelle comedy show.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
And you can't get your phone back until you leave
because they don't want kids to have cell phones, tablets,
even smart watches during the school day.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Yeah. Absolutely, so it's a different day and age.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Crocks are also something that they're banning from certain schools.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
I don't know why you shouldn't be able to wear
wear crocks. It feels like it would be very comfortable.
But also tight hats, sunglasses, bubble slid shoes, headband's, bonnets
or bandanas.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
What about the shisties.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I would think that you can't wear those right in school.
I can't imagine that that would be okay, But you
know some kids, everything else has been step for that. Yeah,
some kids have been wearing those all summer. Right, But
that is your under the radar now, you know. We
have the Way Up Mix at the top of the hour,
plus we have a Wealth Wednesday Priceless Conversation with MasterCard.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
You guys are gonna love this.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Some valuable information, but not just information, but tangible things
that you can do to help you no matter where
you are with your business, if you're scaling, uh, no
matter what it is. We have Tory Dennis, who's the
senior vice president of MasterCard Product Management, Shante Lundy, the
founder of Black Girl Sunscreen, Bran Meldon Noto, the co
founder of Create Labs, and will also be joined by
special guests Carolina Wang and Benny and Mary, who founded
(22:49):
Eat Good and YC. All Right, it's way up, just.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Like the Talut like they, a Jeal Jean like they
and Jeli Jee.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Man, she's spilling it all this is yet.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
All right, it's way up with Angela Ye, I'm here,
Maino's here and breaking news.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
There was a reported shooting at a.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Georgia high school and they said casualties have been reported,
according to a statement, but however details on the number
or their conditions is not available at this time. They
do have one suspect in custody after authorities received a
report of.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
An active shooting.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
A local hospital is receiving patients with gunshot wounds, according
to a source at the hospital. They told CNN, all right,
so our prayers go out because we don't know what's happening,
but we're giving you updates now because this is in
real time.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
All right.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Meghan the Stallion is.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
On the cover of Billboard and she's talking about a
lot of different things, you know. They asked her a
lot of questions about her starting off her career playing
in Texas and now she's doing arenas, and she said
that's what taught her how to be the performer that
she is every time she goes on stage. She said,
I'm not thinking too hard. I'm thinking like I'm partying
with my people. Another thing that she talked about is
(24:06):
Nicki Minaj and if there's any chance for a reconciliation
between her and Nicki Minaj, and she basically said she
doesn't even know what the problem is or how it started.
So she said, I still to this day don't know
what the problem is. I don't even know what could
be reconciled because I to this day don't know what
the problem is. She They also addressed chann and Sharp
(24:26):
and how we had made some inappropriate comments about her
last November and he apologized. She said, do you feel
like you've been getting more support from black men over
the last few years or is that something you're still
looking for more of? And she said, at this point
in my life, I really don't care. Maybe if you
would have asked me this last year or two years ago,
I would have wished I had more black people in
general in my corner. It would have felt nice to
be protected by some black men in this instance. But
(24:47):
the more I wasn't getting it, the more and more
I realized I wasn't going to get it.
Speaker 9 (24:51):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
So yeah, she could read that full full article. They
actually also did like a Q and A with her
about anime as well. She talks about that, yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Very much.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
All right, now let's talk about Ice Spice, because how
can we not go back to her back and forth
with Cleo Trappum. Now Ice Spice's manager, James Roseman Junr.
Is weighing in on social media. He said, my team
spoke to the artist manager this morning and the artist
manager said he blames himself because he pushed his client
to stay because it was a great opportunity, but he
knows his client is one hundred percent wrong. The manager
(25:25):
realizes client didn't have the financial backing to be on
the tour. So he's saying he spoke to Cleo trapp
as manager and that's what he said, is her manager
still will or because I know that's who bought her
up here when she was here.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
They were supposed to speak in the beginning.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Well, and James Roseman Junior said, this is what happens
when an artist team don't manage their artist expectations when
an opportunity comes in front of them. If you're not
prepared for an opportunity and your team is improperly advancing,
then that's on them, not on us offering the opportunity.
So he's basically saying He also said, the entitlement and
ego are crazy. You have to invest in yourself a ka,
(26:00):
pay expenses if need be, for the opportunity.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
It's Corny's right, and I saw Cappella agreed.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
Way you got.
Speaker 10 (26:07):
You got a point there. That's what I was saying yesterday.
When you when you're the opening artists, you're paying for
all your stuff.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
I will say this though.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
The only thing that is different in the situation is
that they are supposed to have been friends and according
to Problem and according to Cleo Chappa, she asked her
what do I need to do to come on and
say what I need to pay for?
Speaker 3 (26:27):
And she said, don't worry, I got you right.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
But then when you flip it on the other side,
her team, which I'm I'm sure she has one, was
supposed to be in contact in Cohoops with with Ice
spices teams and working out the logistics, working out the
you know, the tour dates, working out we're going to
be housing the room and.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
All at both of their teams. Really, that's what I'm right.
Speaker 10 (26:48):
But if I'm the artist, it's my it's my it's
my job to have my my people reach out to
them though, because I'm the opening app now.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
James Roseman Jr.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Also Said sound times an artists can mistakenly misspeak and
just genuinely excited to be extending the opportunity. But that's
where the artist's management need to come together and ask
the right questions to make sure things are accurate, because
there's always a cost associated to an opportunity. Now, Cleo
Chopper was saying that if I just knew what that
cost was, I could take care of it. But I
guess she was told differently and she felt like she
(27:20):
was meant to be humiliated and embarrassed. But I'm sure
we're going to see more of this playout because there's
definitely still still more happening, and that is your yet
when we come back, ask ye eight hundred two nine
two fifty one fifty call us up any question you have.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
We're here to help you out is way up?
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Everybody sens with its relationship or career advice.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Angela's dropping facts.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
This is Askee What's up? Its way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I'm Angela Yee and the award winning advice Gary Wino
is here and we have Henry on the line.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Henry, what's your question?
Speaker 8 (27:53):
His I just graduated college and I've been looking forward
for the entertainment for a while, and I wanted to
ask what skills do you feel like you focused early
in your career to get to where you are right now?
And you got any advice? Network effectively for some college graduates.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Well, when you say in the entertainment business, like, what.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
Do you mean media? Media?
Speaker 10 (28:17):
Well, do you know exactly what it is that you
want to do? What your passion is?
Speaker 8 (28:22):
My passion would be to work musically for words?
Speaker 6 (28:26):
Oh an R work?
Speaker 10 (28:27):
Well, the first thing I think you should do is
try to find out everything it is to know about
what an an R does. Learn as much as possible
about it, and then you know network man, networking.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
Is going to advance.
Speaker 10 (28:39):
Going to things that you know put you in a
position around people in that environment that can introduce you
to other people that you know, you can hopefully get
a job, and now you may not start as an
an R.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
You might have to start as an intern intern.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Yeah, but let me ask you this.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Did you do anything when you were in college to
prepare for this, Like, did you do any internships, any
type of networking.
Speaker 8 (29:01):
Yeah, I've been working with several media companies. My bus
working with. They are people I've been working early. I'm
also just traveling and working on some of these things
as well.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I think that you need to contact the places and
people that you interned for and worked with and let
them know, hey, if there's something going on. I definitely
want to make sure I come out, make some connections,
make yourself valuable to people, and I think it's always
good to have information and do your research. So if
you follow somebody's career, you know, you can email them
and offer them suggestions and how you can be of
(29:33):
assistance to them, how you can help them. The other
thing that I would say is to look at your
alumni resources. You went to college, you graduated, There have
to be some alumni that went to your school that
work at places where you would want to work and
reach out to them. Because people are more likely to
return an email to somebody that went to the school
that they went to. And part of what you pay
(29:54):
for in education is also the network that comes with
that degree.
Speaker 8 (29:58):
Yeah, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
And last thing I want to say is just make
a pact with yourself where maybe every day you send
out two emails, just two cold emails, and you never
know what can come out of that, and dig back
into who you know and who's in your network that
you could reach out to that you may not even
think about. But if you tell yourself every day I'm
gonna send out a minimum of two emails that are
personalized that our research that I can send to somebody,
(30:22):
eventually something will happen.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
Now, thank you, This is great, Thanks so much, Angela.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
All right, you're welcome, Henry, good luck. All right.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Well that was ask ye eight hundred and two ninety two,
fifty one to fifty if you couldn't get through and
when we come back, man valuable information. We have wealth
Wednesday for you priceless conversations with MasterCard. We have the
senior vice president of Massacre Product Management, Troy Dennis, joining us,
the founder of Black Girl Sunscreen, Shante Lundy, and the
co founder of Create Labs a Bron Maldonado.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
It's way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
I had a dream of wealthy and I don't mind
sharing my wealth dog.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
Getting you straight financially, mentally and physically is wealth Wednesday
on Way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
What's up is Angela Yee And I'm really excited to
be back with another Massacred roundtable. These are priceless conversations
with Massacred. It's a roundtable discussion focus on the opportunities
and challenges that small businesses face, along with because we
like to be positive about it, resources that you can
tap into.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Thank you to Massacred. So let's get into it first.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Up, we have Troy Dennis, who is a senior vice
president and Massacred product management Tory just give us a
little bit of background quickly so people know.
Speaker 14 (31:32):
Troy Dennis, senior vice president Massacre. I lead product for
North America. I also lead our installed There the Efforts,
which is our commitment to help close the economic wealth
gap on the black community within the US, and I'm
in charge of the digital transformation for you guys.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Bron Meldonado, what's up.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
You are the co founder of Create Labs, So talk
to us about this because these are priceless conversations when
it comes to technology and AI.
Speaker 11 (31:57):
Yes, well, we started doing a lot of social impact
work trying to get more of our black and brown
folks into the text industry, and we pivoted to Genitive AI.
So we're a black and brown founded JENAI company building
things like chatchabt or other GPTs for companies. And you know,
Massacard really hooked us up. They are one of our
clients and their insolidarity program has a program called StarPath
(32:19):
where they give opportunities to you know, underserve entrepreneurs and
startups and we were lucky enough to get that opportunity
and live being great with us so far.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
All right, And then we got my girls Shante Lenda
the founder a Black Girl Sunscreen and by the way,
Jess recently lined to BGS men.
Speaker 15 (32:36):
Yeah, so Black Girls Sunscreen we started almost about eight
years ago, twenty sixteen, with me being a woman of
the sun and I was offered sunscreen that just wasn't
rubbing into my skin. So I reached out to a
couple of people and it took about a year and
a half to make the Sunscreen, and we did a
lot of grassroot things, going to different activations, everything that
(32:58):
I possibly could do, jumping on the news, jumping on
the radio, and just growing the business one sunscreen at
a time on our own dot com.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Right now, it's a priceless conversation with MasterCard alongside Troy
Dennis is the senior vice president of Massacre Product Management,
Shante Lundy, who's the founder of black Girl Sunscreen, and
Abron Maldonada, who's the co founder of Create Labs. Bron,
can you tell us more about your AI tool, Clara
and how it's beneficial for businesses.
Speaker 11 (33:26):
So, Clara is a digital woman that I created. She's
an afrol athena, and we travel the world together as
a digital influencer speaking to different audiences about AI. MasterCard
souce on stage and they're like, we love what you're
doing with like the representation and the diversity with your AI.
Can you do the same thing for us with small
business and make sure that we can develop something that
(33:47):
serves underserved small businesses no matter what stage they're at,
all over the world, and starting you know, domestically of course,
with a coach in your pocket, a mentor because small
businesses usually start as solopreneurs that have to do everything
and wear so many hats, and sometimes you need that
mentor at your disposal to ask those dumb questions on
how to even price your product, and how to create
(34:09):
a business plan and all these things. So AI can
solve all those problems with tools like CHATCHBT, but even
more so more culturally nuanced, more understanding of all the
steps that are needed with the MasterCard Small Business AI
product that we're building right now, so people can go
to MasterCard dot com forward Slash small Business AI and
it's exactly that it'll ask you, like, all right, well,
(34:31):
what stage you at in your business?
Speaker 3 (34:32):
You know, as we're talking about all of these things.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
One thing that I want to make sure I bring
up to you, Troy, because this is important too.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
A capital.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
That's another thing that is very crucial to the success
of a small business. So how has MasterCard address this
need and what steps can listeners who are seeking capital
to start our scale their business take?
Speaker 3 (34:53):
What are some resources? Again, we love the tangibles.
Speaker 14 (34:55):
We love that, I know you love the access to
capital is is one of the biggest things for small businesses,
right but so many small businesses don't know what to
do with the capitol. So that's why they need like
full suite of programming like financial literacy and access to capital.
So MasterCard we have unlocked over two hundred million dollars
since twenty twenty and providing grants and access to capital
(35:18):
to black owned small businesses.
Speaker 6 (35:20):
And then we also prepare.
Speaker 14 (35:22):
Small businesses for loans so they understand what do they
need to be ready for that piece.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
So Toy, can you share some more about the start
Path program that MasterCard has and other resources and solutions
that you have for small business owners?
Speaker 4 (35:36):
I can? I can.
Speaker 14 (35:37):
So bron led a little bit about StarPath, so he
came to Massacard through StarPath and so we use data insights,
and so we looked across the fintech community and we
said where the gaps at the black and brown ones
weren't getting the funds and weren't getting the resources. So
you know, Sante told about access to capital, but there's
also just technical resources like partnerships, and so what Mascard
(35:58):
did is we started to start PA program for Create
Labs for businesses like Mokafi who's a black on fintech
on Wall Street, and so we do that so that
they have the opportunity in the same advances that some
of the other FinTechs who get funded.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
At a greater rate.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
All Right, we have more priceless conversations with MasterCard when
we come back.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
It's a Wealth Wednesday. It's way up.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
We had a dream of wealthy and I don't mind
sharing my wealth dog getting you straight financially, mentally and physically.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
This is Wealth Wednesday on way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
What's up? Its way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
I'm Angela Yee and it's a Wealth Wednesday, and we
are doing priceless conversations with MasterCard. We're talking to Troy Dennis,
who's the senior vice president of MasterCard Product Management, Chante
Lundy who's the founder of black Girl Sunscreen, and a
Bron Maldonado, who is the co founder of Create Labs.
And I want to keep this energy going because we
actually have something special that we're about to do. We
(36:55):
do have a special guest, well two special guests, and
they're gonna tell us they're inspiring story. So it's a
New York City local business founded by two creators, Carolina
Wing and Benny Emery of Eat Good NYC and Saint
Michelle Cafe in Brooklyn, welcome.
Speaker 7 (37:13):
Hello.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Can you just give us a quick rundown of the
business Eat Good m i C And Saint Michelle Cafe.
Speaker 6 (37:19):
Yeah, E good y s.
Speaker 12 (37:20):
We started about ten years ago. We are custom dessert
food art company as we like to call it. We
make cupcakes, cookies, cakes.
Speaker 6 (37:27):
Candies, whatever you can imagine.
Speaker 12 (37:29):
And Saint Michelle Cafe is our little watering hole of
like my individual or cafe. We tell pastries, coffee, teas,
all kinds of stuff and just.
Speaker 6 (37:39):
Provide good vibes. Absolutely yeah.
Speaker 10 (37:41):
And also it's like a boutique for all of our
food art from cupcakes, candy art to cakes and you
know and other amazing things.
Speaker 6 (37:48):
That we do.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
And Benny and Carolina, can you talk to me about
how you guys linked up a MasterCard.
Speaker 12 (37:54):
I say from day one, you gotta do what you're
passionate about. And as an Argentinian soccer is one, ny
CFC is my team. We got season tickets and everything,
and so they had the City Assist program and so
we were finalists for that and it has been incredible
because A I got to present and work with a
team that I'm really really passionate about, and MasterCard has
(38:16):
just you know, put us in certain rooms that really
you just never know. But I think it just kind
of worked out that I got to work with something
that I'm very passionate about, but also have access and
get to know. I think what the biggest thing that
MasterCard has really helped us is put us in room
with other businesses and there's other people that are going
to the same struggles as we are, and we're sharing
resources and all of that because that's how we survive.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Right Well, you know what, MasterCard is amazing.

And when we come back, we have your Yuti and
let's talk about boosy is Raloh. The two of them
have been having some words for each other and it's
feeling kind of ugly, all right, beefing on social media.
It's way up with Angela yee yea t is next this.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Place in the rooms, from industry shade to all of
gossip out sending Angela's is feeling that yet.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
All right, his way up, I'm here, my guy Maino morning.
All right, let's get into this yet Boosy badass versus Raloh. Now,
Boosy has responded after Raulh went on live and said
that he does not want to be performing in his forties.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
His fifties. Here's what he had to say.
Speaker 9 (04:37):
And I'm focused on signing artists and being a CEO
of a labor.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
I'm gonna get old.
Speaker 9 (04:42):
Well, I ain't trying to be on staying like Boosy gravel.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Will he follow a fifty years old?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
All right?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Well, Boozy responded to that and said on social media,
I have not spoken on you in years.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Rala.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
You still heard by what you did what you did, Lol,
I'm grateful that I'm still making one hundred and fifty
thousand a weekend and selling out. You don't have a
rap career and we'll never have one. And you're right,
you should be a CEO because one thing you can't
do is make music. Got to not give you that talent.
Hashtag leave hip hop alone. Every other month you mentioned
in me smah to get me off your mind and
(05:14):
stop using my name for clout.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
So yeah, I think it's personal.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
No, it's personal. Obviously something happened in the past.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Probably Yeah, he said that.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
You know, he did a verse in a video for
Free for You when you was locked up and refused
to take the ten k you was trying to pay me.
So that does hurt when I did something for.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
You, right, But something happened though, that's that's a personal shot. Well.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Raloh responded to Boosie and here's what he said.
Speaker 10 (05:42):
I to hear you gonna get mad and me because
I said I ain't want to be of a certain
age on stage rapping.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
I ain't saying.
Speaker 10 (05:51):
Nothing was wrong with the Goats going on mother Face
rapping and doing a month and I just personally don't
want to do it.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
He on stage now rollo.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
No, he's saying you don't want to.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Be what I'm saying, like he be on stages a
lot now.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
I don't think so, but I'm not sure. I don't
know now.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Raalo also said Auntie Buobo, I love you and maybe
we can sit and drink us a cold forty five
and talk, But you get on the internet telling the
world I got to number and you know, damn well,
I've been in prison six years. You ran to the
breakfast club before me and called me a rat in
front of the whole world, like it's against the street
code to take a charge.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
What you know, I had to lead up to that rat,
got it?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
So that's that's the issue, okay, But yes, so there
was more to it than that. So you can read
their full back and forth if you should feel like it.
All right now, Lil Wayne has announced a Hot Boys
reunion at Little Louisiana Fest twenty twenty four. That's a
big deal, all right. There was the Batch Hotboys reunion
(06:54):
in July, so he wants to do this official comeback.
So they just announced this and there's gonna be additional
artists and activation scheduled to be announced in the coming weeks.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
But it is back.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
So you guys can definitely go out to New Orleans
to Smoothie King Center to go to that Little Wisiana
Fast We might got to make that trip, all right now.
Lil Wayne also went on Instagram to get some other news.
He's in the studio. Here's what he said, and I'm
working on car to six.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
I just want you to know that I just never finished.
I was lying. I'm working on called the twenty six.
I think you already know that.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
All right, So there you have it.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Lil Wayne is definitely gonna be a person as he's
older to still do music. And I also think hip
hop is younger than other forms of music that we're
gonna see artists getting older type.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Right, that doesn't apply.
Speaker 10 (07:41):
That doesn't apply no more because at the end of
the day, but you got to look at a simple math, right,
You didn't have thirty year old rappers back in the
eighties because hip hop itself.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Wasn't even thirty.
Speaker 10 (07:51):
I've just turned fifty, do you go? So now nowadays
you have all this thoughting careers in their thirties.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
All right now?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Play by CARTI had to move because fans discovered where
he lived. They discovered his home address. He was tucking
a billboard, and he talked about the process of recording
his last album, Whole Lot of Red, and the difficulties
that happened. He said the anticipation grew so high that
fans started to stalk him and members of his family.
He said that fans sent flowers to his mom's house,
and then he had to uproot and move his own
(08:19):
home when his own homemaddress leaked online. But he said
he was appreciative of people who supported him and he's blessed.
But it is frustrating because that's where we have to
lay our heads and so understanding that these are fans
blessing to that, but I didn't want to have to move.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
All right, Well that is your yet.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Now when we come back, we have about last night
where we discussed what we did last night. In the meantime,
let's hear some weekend here is earned it And he
also announced his new album, Hurry Up Tomorrow is on
the horizon.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Dan our producer is excited. It's way up.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
So about last night, Yes, I went down the last.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Night, all right, his way up at Angela. Yeere manos
here may know what were you doing?
Speaker 10 (09:03):
I spent a lot of time looking for my phone.
It was up here, and it was up here. I
went to T Mobile, I went to Apple.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
No one told you your phone was up here.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
I called Dan. He said, it's not up here. I
clean up. I cleaned up the station. It's not here.

I'm looking for it and then I'm looking on fine
to find me at find my phone.
Speaker 6 (09:24):

Speaker 6 (09:30):
Yeah, And the thing is it shows it shows one
day phone.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
No, it wasn't that.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Somebody.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
It was on the charger, so I didn't get charge
your phone for you. You know what a feeling? What
type of feeling that is. There's been times I forgot
my phone at home and had to be outside all day.
It's like, think about it's gonna sound think about the
time and we didn't have cell.
Speaker 10 (09:52):
Phones, but we wasn't dependent on don't but that's like
we're dependent on phones for everything information, news, uh, to
talk our people, like we to look at get a car, everything, everything,
every pay bill say.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Everything using Apple pay to stuff. I mean, that is
the worst. I'd rather forget my wallet than my phone.
Speaker 10 (10:12):
Used to just be a phone where you just picked
up the phone to call somebody.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Do you use everything on your phone that you can use?
Like do you pay for stuff using the apps?
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Do you do you pay for certain things on the app?
Speaker 8 (10:23):
Ye?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Not everything using Apple pay because there's times I've forgotten
my wallet at home, and I'm like, pretty soon, we're
not gonna need cash, We're not gonna need credit cards,
We're not gonna need any of those things. Everything is
just going to be your fingerprint. If you can use
your fingerprint to pay for all your stuff and to
do everything, are you okay with that?
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Some people feel like getting my.
Speaker 10 (10:42):
Information they got they got minds every anyway, they had
my DNA.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
A lot of people, they got me, they got me, right,

Speaker 3 (15:45):
All right, it's way up.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I'm here, Mano's here right, all right, and let's get
into some yeat dancing with the Stars. Can you believe
it's season thirty three of Dancing with the Stars?
Speaker 8 (15:58):
Really?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
And I'll tell you who's on this season, Yes, seasons
a year.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Fager Parks is going to be on there. There's thirteen
celebrities on there. Faga Parks is on there. You know
what else is on there? And this is an interesting
one Dwight Howard, and I saw the picture. He's quite tall,
so he's lifting his partner up in the air. She's like,
he's so tall. But he's going to be on Dancing
with the Stars. Y'all got to vote to The woman
(16:27):
he's dancing with is Daniella carragatch, so that should be interesting.
Anna Delvey is going to be on there too, and
you know her from Inventing Anna on Netflix.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
She was the scammer.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and she's been.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
On under house arrest since twenty twenty two, so they
recently relaxed the terms of her house arrests.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
So I guess Inventing Anna.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Remember she was like scamming people. She was acting she
was an heiress. The real one be there, Yeah, the
real one, not.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
That Oh okay, got it.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
So we might got to watch some of the Tory
spelling is on there as well. I want to see
how far Dwight Howard goes.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
Well, we know how far he goes. He goes far,
all right, all right?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Speaking of NBA players, ex NBA star Glenn Davis, his
prison sentence was delayed. Now you know he was sentenced
to forty months in prison for his role in defrauding
an NBA insurance policy. Well, he has a seven week
delay now because they want him to finish filming a documentary.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
About his life.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
So before he does that, they're like, Okay, we know
that he needs to be able to finish his filming commitments.
They also believe the money that he makes when the
project can help offset this significant amount of money that
he owes, so they're allowing him to delay.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
To going to prison to finish that. I remember that
was crazy.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
It was twenty two people, including former NBA players and doctors,
who would charge in a conspiracy to defraud the league's
benefit plan. I can't believe that they would have done
something like that, especially because these are people that have money,
right all right, Ari Lennox talks about why she hasn't
started an only Fans account, and before we play this,
(18:04):
I just want to say, Arie Lennox has a very
funny sense of humor to me.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
So here's what you had to say.
Speaker 13 (18:09):
Sixty percent of the reason why I won't started only
Fans is because if I get on there and I
am not good at it, I'm going to be really
only making one dollar a month. Like I really got
crazy freaky on here and nobody is giving up the coin.
And then the other forty percent is my morals.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
I guess I can see.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Ari Lennox, Ari, I just want to say, on only fans,
they are trying to do like different types of content, like.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
What you don't have to be naked, you don't get
that break.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I mean, now Rawlings had only I don't think it
worked out those Yeah, but she does have a single
coming out and that's what she's promoting.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
Its called coming Out with Monsoon.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
That's coming out September thirteenth.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
You're only fans, Yeah, I'm thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I think you would do well doing what though, cooking
things like that, maybe a book club. Nice, Yeah, I
could say riding your bikes right right, right right, not
the bikes that you ride, but like a bicycle. All right,
all right, well that is your ut. When we come back,
we have under the radar. These are the stories that
(19:16):
are not necessarily and the headlines. They're flying under the radar,
but we want to bring them to Yeah anyway, so
you know about it.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
It's way up at Angela yee.
Speaker 9 (19:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Yeah, news news.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
This in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
All right, it's way up with Angela yee, I'm here
and Maino's here, oh man, and we're doing these under
the radar stories.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
So we're looking at Navidia right now.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
And according to reports on Tuesday, around two hundred and
seventy nine billion dollars of value was wiped off of Navidia.
That was the biggest one day market capital capitalization job
for US DOC in history.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Wow, that is crazy.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
I know elevator went all the way to the basement.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
And I know everybody was talking about purchasing the stock.
So I guess we'll see what happens. The CEO, Jensen Huang,
lost ten billion dollars as the company stock plummeted and
his net worth fell to well, his fortune actually was
at a certain high. It soared by fifty one billion
just this year. But now Navidia has already lost about
(20:20):
two hundred and eighty billion dollars off of its market capitalization.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
So did it say what made it drop?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
It's a DOJ probe and so part of that is
Navidia's planned acquisition of run Ai, which makes software for
managing AI computing.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I guess maybe it has to do with this investigation,
but you know, I know a lot of people have
and anything can happen at this point right now, But
just letting y'all know that's why the stock market is volatile.
And if anybody tells you it's a guaranteed return on anything,
there is no such thing. All right now, it's a
new school year and some schools are saying that you
can't have on hoodies. You can't, we're all black clothing.
(21:02):
They're even talking about removing mirrors from school bathrooms in
some schools. Wow, I don't know what removing a mirror
will do for the bathroom. But did you have a
dress code when you were going to school coming up?
Speaker 6 (21:15):
All right?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Well, definitely.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I remember we weren't allowed to wear skirts that were
like above our like too far more than like two
inches above your knees, and you know, clothing that was
too tight and all kinds of things. Another thing that
they're doing is some kids have to drop off their
phones in one of those bags and a pouch when
they come into school, and they can't have it till
they go.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Into a Dave Chapelle comedy show.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
And you can't get your phone back until you leave
because they don't want kids to have cell phones, tablets,
even smart watches during the school day.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Yeah. Absolutely, so it's a different day and age.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Crocks are also something that they're banning from certain schools.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
I don't know why you shouldn't be able to wear
wear crocks. It feels like it would be very comfortable.
But also tight hats, sunglasses, bubble slid shoes, headband's, bonnets
or bandanas.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
What about the shisties.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I would think that you can't wear those right in school.
I can't imagine that that would be okay, But you
know some kids, everything else has been step for that. Yeah,
some kids have been wearing those all summer. Right, But
that is your under the radar now, you know. We
have the Way Up Mix at the top of the hour,
plus we have a Wealth Wednesday Priceless Conversation with MasterCard.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
You guys are gonna love this.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Some valuable information, but not just information, but tangible things
that you can do to help you no matter where
you are with your business, if you're scaling, uh, no
matter what it is. We have Tory Dennis, who's the
senior vice president of MasterCard Product Management, Shante Lundy, the
founder of Black Girl Sunscreen, Bran Meldon Noto, the co
founder of Create Labs, and will also be joined by
special guests Carolina Wang and Benny and Mary, who founded
(22:49):
Eat Good and YC. All Right, it's way up, just.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Like the Talut like they, a Jeal Jean like they
and Jeli Jee.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Man, she's spilling it all this is yet.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
All right, it's way up with Angela Ye, I'm here,
Maino's here and breaking news.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
There was a reported shooting at a.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Georgia high school and they said casualties have been reported,
according to a statement, but however details on the number
or their conditions is not available at this time. They
do have one suspect in custody after authorities received a
report of.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
An active shooting.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
A local hospital is receiving patients with gunshot wounds, according
to a source at the hospital. They told CNN, all right,
so our prayers go out because we don't know what's happening,
but we're giving you updates now because this is in
real time.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
All right.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Meghan the Stallion is.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
On the cover of Billboard and she's talking about a
lot of different things, you know. They asked her a
lot of questions about her starting off her career playing
in Texas and now she's doing arenas, and she said
that's what taught her how to be the performer that
she is every time she goes on stage. She said,
I'm not thinking too hard. I'm thinking like I'm partying
with my people. Another thing that she talked about is
(24:06):
Nicki Minaj and if there's any chance for a reconciliation
between her and Nicki Minaj, and she basically said she
doesn't even know what the problem is or how it started.
So she said, I still to this day don't know
what the problem is. I don't even know what could
be reconciled because I to this day don't know what
the problem is. She They also addressed chann and Sharp
(24:26):
and how we had made some inappropriate comments about her
last November and he apologized. She said, do you feel
like you've been getting more support from black men over
the last few years or is that something you're still
looking for more of? And she said, at this point
in my life, I really don't care. Maybe if you
would have asked me this last year or two years ago,
I would have wished I had more black people in
general in my corner. It would have felt nice to
be protected by some black men in this instance. But
(24:47):
the more I wasn't getting it, the more and more
I realized I wasn't going to get it.
Speaker 9 (24:51):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
So yeah, she could read that full full article. They
actually also did like a Q and A with her
about anime as well. She talks about that, yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Very much.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
All right, now let's talk about Ice Spice, because how
can we not go back to her back and forth
with Cleo Trappum. Now Ice Spice's manager, James Roseman Junr.
Is weighing in on social media. He said, my team
spoke to the artist manager this morning and the artist
manager said he blames himself because he pushed his client
to stay because it was a great opportunity, but he
knows his client is one hundred percent wrong. The manager
(25:25):
realizes client didn't have the financial backing to be on
the tour. So he's saying he spoke to Cleo trapp
as manager and that's what he said, is her manager
still will or because I know that's who bought her
up here when she was here.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
They were supposed to speak in the beginning.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Well, and James Roseman Junior said, this is what happens
when an artist team don't manage their artist expectations when
an opportunity comes in front of them. If you're not
prepared for an opportunity and your team is improperly advancing,
then that's on them, not on us offering the opportunity.
So he's basically saying He also said, the entitlement and
ego are crazy. You have to invest in yourself a ka,
(26:00):
pay expenses if need be, for the opportunity.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
It's Corny's right, and I saw Cappella agreed.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
Way you got.
Speaker 10 (26:07):
You got a point there. That's what I was saying yesterday.
When you when you're the opening artists, you're paying for
all your stuff.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
I will say this though.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
The only thing that is different in the situation is
that they are supposed to have been friends and according
to Problem and according to Cleo Chappa, she asked her
what do I need to do to come on and
say what I need to pay for?
Speaker 3 (26:27):
And she said, don't worry, I got you right.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
But then when you flip it on the other side,
her team, which I'm I'm sure she has one, was
supposed to be in contact in Cohoops with with Ice
spices teams and working out the logistics, working out the
you know, the tour dates, working out we're going to
be housing the room and.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
All at both of their teams. Really, that's what I'm right.
Speaker 10 (26:48):
But if I'm the artist, it's my it's my it's
my job to have my my people reach out to
them though, because I'm the opening app now.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
James Roseman Jr.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Also Said sound times an artists can mistakenly misspeak and
just genuinely excited to be extending the opportunity. But that's
where the artist's management need to come together and ask
the right questions to make sure things are accurate, because
there's always a cost associated to an opportunity. Now, Cleo
Chopper was saying that if I just knew what that
cost was, I could take care of it. But I
guess she was told differently and she felt like she
(27:20):
was meant to be humiliated and embarrassed. But I'm sure
we're going to see more of this playout because there's
definitely still still more happening, and that is your yet
when we come back, ask ye eight hundred two nine
two fifty one fifty call us up any question you have.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
We're here to help you out is way up?
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Everybody sens with its relationship or career advice.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Angela's dropping facts.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
This is Askee What's up? Its way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I'm Angela Yee and the award winning advice Gary Wino
is here and we have Henry on the line.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Henry, what's your question?
Speaker 8 (27:53):
His I just graduated college and I've been looking forward
for the entertainment for a while, and I wanted to
ask what skills do you feel like you focused early
in your career to get to where you are right now?
And you got any advice? Network effectively for some college graduates.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Well, when you say in the entertainment business, like, what.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
Do you mean media? Media?
Speaker 10 (28:17):
Well, do you know exactly what it is that you
want to do? What your passion is?
Speaker 8 (28:22):
My passion would be to work musically for words?
Speaker 6 (28:26):
Oh an R work?
Speaker 10 (28:27):
Well, the first thing I think you should do is
try to find out everything it is to know about
what an an R does. Learn as much as possible
about it, and then you know network man, networking.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
Is going to advance.
Speaker 10 (28:39):
Going to things that you know put you in a
position around people in that environment that can introduce you
to other people that you know, you can hopefully get
a job, and now you may not start as an
an R.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
You might have to start as an intern intern.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Yeah, but let me ask you this.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Did you do anything when you were in college to
prepare for this, Like, did you do any internships, any
type of networking.
Speaker 8 (29:01):
Yeah, I've been working with several media companies. My bus
working with. They are people I've been working early. I'm
also just traveling and working on some of these things
as well.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I think that you need to contact the places and
people that you interned for and worked with and let
them know, hey, if there's something going on. I definitely
want to make sure I come out, make some connections,
make yourself valuable to people, and I think it's always
good to have information and do your research. So if
you follow somebody's career, you know, you can email them
and offer them suggestions and how you can be of
(29:33):
assistance to them, how you can help them. The other
thing that I would say is to look at your
alumni resources. You went to college, you graduated, There have
to be some alumni that went to your school that
work at places where you would want to work and
reach out to them. Because people are more likely to
return an email to somebody that went to the school
that they went to. And part of what you pay
(29:54):
for in education is also the network that comes with
that degree.
Speaker 8 (29:58):
Yeah, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
And last thing I want to say is just make
a pact with yourself where maybe every day you send
out two emails, just two cold emails, and you never
know what can come out of that, and dig back
into who you know and who's in your network that
you could reach out to that you may not even
think about. But if you tell yourself every day I'm
gonna send out a minimum of two emails that are
personalized that our research that I can send to somebody,
(30:22):
eventually something will happen.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
Now, thank you, This is great, Thanks so much, Angela.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
All right, you're welcome, Henry, good luck. All right.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Well that was ask ye eight hundred and two ninety two,
fifty one to fifty if you couldn't get through and
when we come back, man valuable information. We have wealth
Wednesday for you priceless conversations with MasterCard. We have the
senior vice president of Massacre Product Management, Troy Dennis, joining us,
the founder of Black Girl Sunscreen, Shante Lundy, and the
co founder of Create Labs a Bron Maldonado.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
It's way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
I had a dream of wealthy and I don't mind
sharing my wealth dog.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
Getting you straight financially, mentally and physically is wealth Wednesday
on Way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
What's up is Angela Yee And I'm really excited to
be back with another Massacred roundtable. These are priceless conversations
with Massacred. It's a roundtable discussion focus on the opportunities
and challenges that small businesses face, along with because we
like to be positive about it, resources that you can
tap into.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Thank you to Massacred. So let's get into it first.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Up, we have Troy Dennis, who is a senior vice
president and Massacred product management Tory just give us a
little bit of background quickly so people know.
Speaker 14 (31:32):
Troy Dennis, senior vice president Massacre. I lead product for
North America. I also lead our installed There the Efforts,
which is our commitment to help close the economic wealth
gap on the black community within the US, and I'm
in charge of the digital transformation for you guys.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Bron Meldonado, what's up.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
You are the co founder of Create Labs, So talk
to us about this because these are priceless conversations when
it comes to technology and AI.
Speaker 11 (31:57):
Yes, well, we started doing a lot of social impact
work trying to get more of our black and brown
folks into the text industry, and we pivoted to Genitive AI.
So we're a black and brown founded JENAI company building
things like chatchabt or other GPTs for companies. And you know,
Massacard really hooked us up. They are one of our
clients and their insolidarity program has a program called StarPath
(32:19):
where they give opportunities to you know, underserve entrepreneurs and
startups and we were lucky enough to get that opportunity
and live being great with us so far.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
All right, And then we got my girls Shante Lenda
the founder a Black Girl Sunscreen and by the way,
Jess recently lined to BGS men.
Speaker 15 (32:36):
Yeah, so Black Girls Sunscreen we started almost about eight
years ago, twenty sixteen, with me being a woman of
the sun and I was offered sunscreen that just wasn't
rubbing into my skin. So I reached out to a
couple of people and it took about a year and
a half to make the Sunscreen, and we did a
lot of grassroot things, going to different activations, everything that
(32:58):
I possibly could do, jumping on the news, jumping on
the radio, and just growing the business one sunscreen at
a time on our own dot com.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Right now, it's a priceless conversation with MasterCard alongside Troy
Dennis is the senior vice president of Massacre Product Management,
Shante Lundy, who's the founder of black Girl Sunscreen, and
Abron Maldonada, who's the co founder of Create Labs. Bron,
can you tell us more about your AI tool, Clara
and how it's beneficial for businesses.
Speaker 11 (33:26):
So, Clara is a digital woman that I created. She's
an afrol athena, and we travel the world together as
a digital influencer speaking to different audiences about AI. MasterCard
souce on stage and they're like, we love what you're
doing with like the representation and the diversity with your AI.
Can you do the same thing for us with small
business and make sure that we can develop something that
(33:47):
serves underserved small businesses no matter what stage they're at,
all over the world, and starting you know, domestically of course,
with a coach in your pocket, a mentor because small
businesses usually start as solopreneurs that have to do everything
and wear so many hats, and sometimes you need that
mentor at your disposal to ask those dumb questions on
how to even price your product, and how to create
(34:09):
a business plan and all these things. So AI can
solve all those problems with tools like CHATCHBT, but even
more so more culturally nuanced, more understanding of all the
steps that are needed with the MasterCard Small Business AI
product that we're building right now, so people can go
to MasterCard dot com forward Slash small Business AI and
it's exactly that it'll ask you, like, all right, well,
(34:31):
what stage you at in your business?
Speaker 3 (34:32):
You know, as we're talking about all of these things.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
One thing that I want to make sure I bring
up to you, Troy, because this is important too.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
A capital.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
That's another thing that is very crucial to the success
of a small business. So how has MasterCard address this
need and what steps can listeners who are seeking capital
to start our scale their business take?
Speaker 3 (34:53):
What are some resources? Again, we love the tangibles.
Speaker 14 (34:55):
We love that, I know you love the access to
capital is is one of the biggest things for small businesses,
right but so many small businesses don't know what to
do with the capitol. So that's why they need like
full suite of programming like financial literacy and access to capital.
So MasterCard we have unlocked over two hundred million dollars
since twenty twenty and providing grants and access to capital
(35:18):
to black owned small businesses.
Speaker 6 (35:20):
And then we also prepare.
Speaker 14 (35:22):
Small businesses for loans so they understand what do they
need to be ready for that piece.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
So Toy, can you share some more about the start
Path program that MasterCard has and other resources and solutions
that you have for small business owners?
Speaker 4 (35:36):
I can? I can.
Speaker 14 (35:37):
So bron led a little bit about StarPath, so he
came to Massacard through StarPath and so we use data insights,
and so we looked across the fintech community and we
said where the gaps at the black and brown ones
weren't getting the funds and weren't getting the resources. So
you know, Sante told about access to capital, but there's
also just technical resources like partnerships, and so what Mascard
(35:58):
did is we started to start PA program for Create
Labs for businesses like Mokafi who's a black on fintech
on Wall Street, and so we do that so that
they have the opportunity in the same advances that some
of the other FinTechs who get funded.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
At a greater rate.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
All Right, we have more priceless conversations with MasterCard when
we come back.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
It's a Wealth Wednesday. It's way up.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
We had a dream of wealthy and I don't mind
sharing my wealth dog getting you straight financially, mentally and physically.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
This is Wealth Wednesday on way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
What's up? Its way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
I'm Angela Yee and it's a Wealth Wednesday, and we
are doing priceless conversations with MasterCard. We're talking to Troy Dennis,
who's the senior vice president of MasterCard Product Management, Chante
Lundy who's the founder of black Girl Sunscreen, and a
Bron Maldonado, who is the co founder of Create Labs.
And I want to keep this energy going because we
actually have something special that we're about to do. We
(36:55):
do have a special guest, well two special guests, and
they're gonna tell us they're inspiring story. So it's a
New York City local business founded by two creators, Carolina
Wing and Benny Emery of Eat Good NYC and Saint
Michelle Cafe in Brooklyn, welcome.
Speaker 7 (37:13):
Hello.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Can you just give us a quick rundown of the
business Eat Good m i C And Saint Michelle Cafe.
Speaker 6 (37:19):
Yeah, E good y s.
Speaker 12 (37:20):
We started about ten years ago. We are custom dessert
food art company as we like to call it. We
make cupcakes, cookies, cakes.
Speaker 6 (37:27):
Candies, whatever you can imagine.
Speaker 12 (37:29):
And Saint Michelle Cafe is our little watering hole of
like my individual or cafe. We tell pastries, coffee, teas,
all kinds of stuff and just.
Speaker 6 (37:39):
Provide good vibes. Absolutely yeah.
Speaker 10 (37:41):
And also it's like a boutique for all of our
food art from cupcakes, candy art to cakes and you
know and other amazing things.
Speaker 6 (37:48):
That we do.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
And Benny and Carolina, can you talk to me about
how you guys linked up a MasterCard.
Speaker 12 (37:54):
I say from day one, you gotta do what you're
passionate about. And as an Argentinian soccer is one, ny
CFC is my team. We got season tickets and everything,
and so they had the City Assist program and so
we were finalists for that and it has been incredible
because A I got to present and work with a
team that I'm really really passionate about, and MasterCard has
(38:16):
just you know, put us in certain rooms that really
you just never know. But I think it just kind
of worked out that I got to work with something
that I'm very passionate about, but also have access and
get to know. I think what the biggest thing that
MasterCard has really helped us is put us in room
with other businesses and there's other people that are going
to the same struggles as we are, and we're sharing
resources and all of that because that's how we survive.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Right Well, you know what, MasterCard is amazing.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
I'm not gonna lie, and I want to thank you
guys so much for joining us. I cannot wait to
