I appreciate when people are able to call up here
and share things like that, So shout out to them,
and when we come back, we have your Yet. Andrea Michelle,
she doesn't very often respond when people speak on her,
but she is responding to Loa Govan's remarks about her
on her on Carlos King's podcast We'll tell you what
she had to say on social media, kind of explaining everything.

(03:41):
All right, it's way up, y eat is next. She's
like to talk like they angel Jean, like they Angela Jean.

Speaker 6 (03:48):
Man, She's spilling it all. This is yeaty way up.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
It's way up with Angela Yee. I'm here today getting
the yet ready. My producer Dan is here too, ready
to So first let's talk about Drea Michelle. She has
responded to Laura Govin's interview with Carlos King on his
podcast Reality with the King.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Now.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
If you recall, Laura Govin says that she did end
up having to beat Drea up.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Here's what she said happened.

Speaker 9 (04:19):
At the time they brought her on Basketball Wives as
a friend. If I'm not mistaken to.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
My sister and guess what.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
I liked her.

Speaker 9 (04:26):
I had no idea that she was there being Gilbert's
jump off, and I saw that he had given her
twenty five thousand dollars and brought her to LA And
I remember going to where she was filming here in Hollywood,
down the street, and I walked past everybody and I
beat her all right.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
Well, Drea, who normally doesn't respond right, she'd just be
minding her business, went on social media to clear things
up because this definitely went viral. She said, I didn't
mess with anyone's husband. Let's be clear that no one
was married. Let's also be clear that the interactions I
had with him were years before I was on the show.
I did not know her them, and I also did
not know her when I agreed to be on the

(05:05):
show or her sister. I didn't even know either of
them were going to be on the show. So to
say the word friend is a huge stretch. I agreed
to go on the show and pretend to be friends
with a girl named Gloria who I did not know
was sisters with her, And at the time, even if
they would have said her sister, I still wouldn't have
known because I didn't know her. I don't come to
social media and bash people. I didn't always have the

(05:25):
conscience that I have today. With that being said, I
will keep most of what I'm saying polite. And then
she went on to say that she brought comedic relief
to the show. It was the highest ratings when she
was on it. She bought a breath of fresh air.
She also said timelines aren't timing, and she said, I
don't get on the internet and tell my side of
the story often because I respect the fact that it's
not only my side. I give a lot of people

(05:46):
a grace by being quiet and not sharing. All of
my dirty laundry was aired on the show. And when
I say all, I mean all. I have been called
some of the worst things on National TV. I'm almost
at the end, but I will say my storyline carry
the show, carried, Carried. And then she goes on to
say she's not a victim. I'm never a victim. I
am a victor. So if you'll excuse me, I will
get back to my very normal, non reality TV related,

(06:09):
multifaceted life.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
What'd you think, Dan.

Speaker 5 (06:12):
At some point, you got to defend yourself. Yeah, I
get it.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
I understand also not doing that because a lot of
times it makes a story bigger. But in this situation,
I guess she's like, the way you're telling this story
is not true. People were looking at it like they
were still married. She's saying they weren't even together anymore.
She didn't know them, they weren't friends at the time.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
So you know, what, do you think You're someone that
usually doesn't respond when there's public stories about you.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
I think for her right now, because you know, she
just had a baby, she's off the grid, she has
been minding her business. I can understand sometimes wanting to
just say what you have to say and then go away.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
And you know, maybe one day I'll do that if there's.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
A book involved all right now, the La County DA
is pushing for the governor to give the Menanda's brothers clemency.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
He's strung only supports.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
Their request, and they filed legal documents Tuesday asking the Governor,
Gavin Newsom to grant clemency to his clients. They said
it's also significant because of the weekend KNW some doctor
a podcast where he said, this is obviously some new
compelling evidence that was introduced. So if he does give
them clemency, there'll be no need for a court hearing

(07:20):
and they would be free instantly.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
You think they should be free.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
I'm gonna tell you the truth. I did not watch
the documentary. I watched the series, and I've heard that
people say the documentary is way different.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
You know, Chella was watching. My friend, Chella was watching
the series with me.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
She was like, free theom Then she watched a documentary
and she wasn't as sure.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
What do you think?

Speaker 5 (07:40):
I also did not see the that's the problem.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
That's my problem.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
So I don't want to make a judgment on it
until I see. But it is compelling new evidence that
wasn't admitted before. And you know, this is him saying
to his cousin in a letter that their father testament,
and there's somebody else that said the father did the
same thing. So that does feel like new evidence. Right. Well,
when we come back about last night, that's where we
discussed what we did last night. You know what I

(08:04):
did after I went out to the Barclays, I discussed
that I went right home to What Love Is Blind?

Speaker 3 (08:10):
And if you did too, then stay tuned. It's way up.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
So about last night, es I went down.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
What's Up his way Up with Angela Yee and it
is time for about last night.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
So I definitely had a very active night last night.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
I was at the Barclays first and foremost, and what
I was doing at the Barclays is there's a Just
Brooklyn event that we were having giving away a Just
Brooklyn Prize that comes from the Joe and Clara si
Foundation for their Social Justice Fund. And what we did
was give away grant twenty thousand dollars grants to five

(08:50):
different organizations that are champions in the fight for social
justice in Brooklyn, and so that was amazing.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
I gave the recipient, Carolyn A.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
Button, her Brooklyn Prize, and with that twenty thousand dollars,
it's not allocated toward anything.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
They can use it for whatever they want.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
So even if you're like I haven't been on vacation
in three years, I can use some of that money
for that. There's no strings attached. So that was amazing.
So shout out to Carolyn A. Butts, who's the founder
and director of African Voices and Real Sisters of the
Diaspora Film Festival lecture series, and everybody else who won
their prize. Is Last Night, Teeno Hardin, Christina, Vette Lewis,

(09:27):
Derek Hamilton.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
And Nanaj Raoul. All right.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
Then I went home and I had to watch Love
Is Blind, the reunion show. I was like, as soon
as I get home, put that right on the TV.
There are a lot of things going on, and we'll
talk about some of this during the rumor during what
am I called Yet, I couldn't even think of it.
During Yet, we'll talk about Tyler and Ashley. But right now,

(09:52):
I want to focus on a different couple. I want
to focus on what was happening with Alex and Tim.
Now the two of them broke up. They had I
think when they got engaged, you know, Tim going to
talk to Alex's father and reading that letter and getting
his approval and then so on and so forth. I

(10:12):
was shocked when they went through their breakup, and so
the two of them were explaining what happened. Tim had
a problem with the fact that Alex did not stay
awake and tend to his parents the way that he
felt she should have. She took a nap after they
drove hours to get there. And here's what happened at
the reunion.

Speaker 10 (10:30):
What we bonded over most's how much we love our family.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
The entire time we met.

Speaker 10 (10:34):
She wanted me to show her father some respect and love,
so she asked me, and I showed up for her family.
I felt like when it was my turn, it wasn't
It wasn't returned.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
And she says she has to work, which is fine.
I get it. Everybody makes a limit to sit.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Here and try to be like, Oh, I have so much.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
Respect for you, but you broke up with me because
of allegedly a nap or I didn't do the dishes
all right, Now, I want to ask what you guys
think about this, because I just to expand further on it. Right,
Like Tim said, family was everything. His parents drove ten
hours to meet Alex for the first time. The meeting
went well, but he said he was upset that she

(11:12):
took a nap instead of spending time more time with
his parents during their visit, and she said, I get tired.
I like to take naps, and he said he was
not okay with her decision to nap, and so that's
what made them break up.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Now, what do you think is there any justification?

Speaker 4 (11:27):
I mean, it is a marriage, and if you see
a red flag and maybe you feel like it was disrespectful.
They drove ten hours and she took a nap, and
you're like, that's not the type of person I want
to be with.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
Who do you side with on this situation? Tim or Alex?

Speaker 4 (11:40):
All right eight hundred two nine to fifty one fifty
call us up and let us know what you think.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Who do you side with? Tim or Alex?

Speaker 4 (11:47):
When it comes to what happened on Love is Blind
and the reason why they broke up, it feels like
it was still kind of open ended.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
When they had the reunion together, he felt how he felt.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
He felt that she didn't she didn't show his parents
the respect after they drove ten and she just felt
like he was being a d all Right eight hundred
and two ninety two fifty one fifty.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Call us up and pick a side. It's way up, Plea.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
It's not just right or wrong. It's about what you believe.
It's time to pick a side and stay there.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
It's way up at Angela, yee, and it's time to
pick a side. Now.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
I know a lot of us do watch Love is Blind.
The reunion was on last night. My producer Dan has
not yet seen it.

Speaker 5 (12:27):
Not entirely.

Speaker 4 (12:27):
Not entirely, but one thing that was an ongoing issue
this season. Tim and Alex. It felt like they were
going to have an ideal relationship. We saw when Tim
went and read that letter to Alex's father and was
accepted by the family, And then the tables got turned
and Alex had to meet Tim's parents. They drove ten
hours to come meet here for the first time, and

(12:49):
she went to sleep.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
Here's what happened on the reunion.

Speaker 10 (12:52):
What we bonded over most was how much we love
our family. The entire time we met. She wanted me
to show her father some respect and love, so she
asked me, and I showed up for her family. I
felt like when it was my turn it wasn't It
wasn't returned.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
And she says she has to work, which is fine.
I get it. Everybody makes a.

Speaker 11 (13:10):
Living to sit here and try to be like, Oh,
I have so.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Much respect for you, but you broke up with me.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
Because of allegedly and nap or I didn't do the
dishes all right, Well, we want to know who is
right and who is wrong here pick aside Tim or
Alex Melissa pick aside.

Speaker 8 (13:27):
Oh, definitely keif we're in the beginning of a relationship.
Family is important. We've already expressed that. Go to work
fire tomorrow. Right.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
You know what I want to say too, And this
is something I didn't mention when I was talking about it.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
He does have two sisters who died, and.

Speaker 7 (13:44):
He knows that she wears that bracelets.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Right right, you took a nap and so we've been married.
Take right now, I feel you.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
I would have stayed up if that was me, I
would have had some coffee, uplifts people, and I would have.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Been awake exactly.

Speaker 7 (14:00):
I'm with you, all right.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
Well, thank you for your opinion. I have a great day,
you too. Hey, Jimione, what's up?

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Ah, good morning? Now you're doing.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
I'm good. How are you? Do you watch Love Is Blind?

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (14:11):
I do?

Speaker 3 (14:12):
All right?

Speaker 4 (14:12):
So Tim and Alex, I want to know what your
thoughts are. They broke up after she did not stay awake,
after his parents drove for ten hours.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
I'm waving to the lady. Perfection isn't a loser and nobody's.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
Perfect, Okay.

Speaker 7 (14:25):
Basically, he was looking for a.

Speaker 8 (14:27):
Doorway to get out of the relationship and find one
with that Okay.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
I do feel like he's very stubborn, you know, like
it has to be his way or nothing.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
And she was trying to explain herself. He wasn't trying
to hear it.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah, yeah, he was with before door one because he
was really early.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
He would have thought, what happened to your boys? Thank
you too, money, very welcome. What was it? Hey, Lauren?
How are you?

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Hey?

Speaker 7 (14:52):
How are you so?

Speaker 3 (14:53):
I want to ask you?

Speaker 4 (14:54):
What did you think about Tim and Alex and their interaction?

Speaker 3 (14:58):
He was upset?

Speaker 4 (14:58):
His parents drove ten hour and he said, while the
cameras was rolling, she was great, but as soon as
the cameras went off, she went to sleep and did
not stay up after the parents drove ten hours to
meet her.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
What do you think?

Speaker 7 (15:10):
Okay, so I think they both were in the wrong
only because Alex go to work. She needed to take
a nap, but she should have communicated that to him.
They should have communicated better.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
The communication is the biggest thing. So I think they
both were you know, they both handled the situation wrong.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
And then he was not trying to hear her when
she was explaining herself at all.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
All right, thank you, thank you? Hey, Logan, Hey were
you I'm grey? How are you what did you think about?
Love is Blind?

Speaker 4 (15:35):
Tim and Alex he was upset that she went to
take a nap when his parents drove ten hours to
meet her the first time.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
Who do you think was right or wrong?

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Oh? She was absolutely wrong. It's the respect thing. She
could have taken a nap, layer, but at the root
of it, there.

Speaker 7 (15:50):
Was some more issues going on underlying.

Speaker 12 (15:52):
But you don't take a nap when your partner's parents
are visiting, especially when they've driven ten hours.

Speaker 4 (15:59):
Maybe you could just act gentally fall asleep on the
couch and that's it.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Yeah, exactly out of curtalty.

Speaker 7 (16:04):
If they saw you falling asleep, and they may say, well,
go get.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Some rest, but you don't just leave and go take
a name.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
All right, all right? I agree with you on that.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
I would have I definitely would have been up like
no matter what, I would have tried.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
Exactly, all right, exactly, thank you?

Speaker 4 (16:18):
Okay, all right, Well, it feels like according to our listeners,
we were split.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
Should I be the tie breaker? Should I be Kamala
Harris the VP?

Speaker 4 (16:25):
I'm going to say that in that particular situation, I
do believe that Alex was wrong for not trying to
stay up. But I think that how Tim addressed it
was wrong, and so it still is kind of ti
because they were both wrong, but in that one situation,
Alex was more wrong than he was, and then after

(16:46):
that it was kind of a red flag for both
of them to not be together. All right, Well, when
we come back, we have your yet we'll talk some
more about Love is Blind, because of course Tyler and
Ashley also had their issues, but they still made it
down the aisle and a lot of people are torn
on how they feel about him. And we'll also talk
about Akon and what he has going on. Kind of
a fast food restaurant and maybe a hit song with

(17:09):
Nicki Minaj.

Speaker 6 (17:10):
It's way up, Shure, She's about to blow the lid
ab off this spot.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
Let's get it. Oh, Angela's feeling that yea tea, Come
and get the tea.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
It's way up with Angela. Yee, Angela, yee. My guy
Dan is here with me today and let's get into
some yute. So Love is Blind. One of the biggest
things that happened this season was with Tyler and Ashley.
People were trying to figure out does Tyler have children
that he hasn't revealed he had said he was a
sperm donor.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
He also did lie.

Speaker 4 (17:38):
And say he ain't know them kids, right, He didn't
think those kids knew who he was. But then there
were pictures of him that he had scrubbed off the
Internet of him with said children who he claims didn't
know him. Dan, what were your thoughts when you saw
Ashley basically defending Tyler. They did end up getting married
on Love is Blind and she's saying that she knew everything.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
She's not dumb.

Speaker 13 (17:57):
Yeah, exactly, we only saw what the producer showed us.
There was so much that happens behind the scenes, and
it's like hard to believe that they didn't have that conversation.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
All right, Well, here is what they had to say
during their reunion.

Speaker 12 (18:09):
Those kids, that family, they did not sign up for this.
So what is happening now? Was I tried to keep
that from happening. Their birth certificates are online. Things that
shouldn't be happening are now happening. And to get into
the story, I didn't help the friends and her wife
started family, but her wife ended up leaving her, so
I set in. So there's pictures of me around Lucy,
me around and I played a part that it became

(18:29):
very shaky with a friend.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
But I do want to let people.

Speaker 5 (18:32):
Know Ashley knows all this.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
I mean it was interesting because he said those kids
didn't know what he looked like, but then there were
pictures of them, like in matching pajamas.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
That was the problem.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
Yeah, I think that made it all feel real shaky
because that's a very unique situation.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
All right.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
Well, Ashley responded and said this, who do you think has.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
Better insight on what's going on social media or me?

Speaker 5 (18:57):
So for people to.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
Imply that like she was blonde sider, she didn't know,
it's like consulting to my intelligence.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
All right.

Speaker 4 (19:04):
I also noticed for all you Love is Blind watches
that ram just it looks like he cut off his ponytails.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
He was annoying.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
I'm sorry to say it, but Marissa, Marissa seemed cool
and I felt.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
Like he did her dirt.

Speaker 4 (19:19):
Yeah, she definitely does it. But her mom though, was
a lot too. All right, Well, anyway, that is love
is blinding. Case you haven't seen it, we won't give
any more spoilersts for you guys, but you should have
watched it, all right. Akon was on a bootleg keV.
And you know, he's always talking about the different businesses
that he has going on. And another thing that he
is doing now, I actually really like this idea because
I love joelaf rice and I do love I do

(19:44):
love West African food.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
All right.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
Well, he is going to be opening up a fast
food restaurant that's similar to Chipotle.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
Here's what he said.

Speaker 14 (19:52):
The next one's gonna be a jelif Rice fast food restaurant.
So it's gonna be called it's gonna be fast food
like McDonald's or Windy's or whatever, but that's more like
African cuisine quick almost like Chipotle.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
I love spicy African food.

Speaker 5 (20:04):
Yeah, here for that.

Speaker 4 (20:05):
Yeah, I love a spicy joelof rice all right, so
I'm definitely here for that now. Another thing that he
said was that he has a potential hit song that
he did back in twenty seventeen. Here he is saying
this would be a smash hit today.

Speaker 14 (20:19):
It was actually a record that I did with Nicki Minaj.
It never dropped, it'd never dropped, but it was I
think would have been probably one of my biggest pop records.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
All right.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
Well, maybe now this is something that is gonna end
up coming out because I feel like Nikki be paying
attention to a lot that's going on online. And we'll
talk about that a little later. As she caught up
with ray J, but Snoop Dogg and Doctor Dre. They
have put out their track list for their album Missionary.
And when I tell you there is a ton of
special guests on this, I mean Janney Iicho's on here,

(20:49):
BJ the Chicago Kid, Tom Petty and Jelly Roll is
on the album. Method Man in Smitty fifty cent and
Eminem are on a song together called Guns and Small
with them, you know.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Just a lot.

Speaker 4 (21:02):
So it looks like this is going to be really good.
The release date was announced earlier this week. They also
had a trailer. You saw all of that, I didn't
see the trailer?

Speaker 3 (21:11):
All right?

Speaker 4 (21:11):
Well, that track to check that out, yeah, is now
available and you can look for the pre release listening
on Apple Music, as well as fifteen songs on the album.
All right, Well, that is your ut and when we
come back, we have under the radar. These are the
stories that are not necessarily in the headlines. They are
flying under the radar, but you definitely need to know
about them.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
It's way up.

Speaker 6 (21:30):
It's in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
It's way up at Angela. Ye, I'm here, and it's
time for under their radar all right. Autism diagnoses are
skyrocketing in the United States. The number of Americans diagnosed
to autism jumped one hundred and seventy five percent between
twenty eleven and twenty twenty two, and that is thanks
to a surge in new cases among young adults.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
According to research, They said that.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
There is a four hundred and fifty percent increase in
diagnoses adults twenty six to thirty four years old, and
female cases rose three hundred and fifteen percent. Boys of
four times is likely to be a diagnosed with autism
compared to girls, but they said that gender gap is
now starting to noticeably narrow. There's no cure for autism,
but treatments like speech or physical therapy, behavioral interventions, or

(22:20):
medications may help with symptoms. They're not sure what causes
the condition, but some people have been exploring the effect
of maternal infection during pregnancy, and they are also looking
toward increased advocacy and education that may prompt more people
to get themselves or their children screened. But overall, about
thirty and every one thousand children between the ages of

(22:41):
five and eight have an autism diagnoses.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
That's a lot. Thirty and one thousand, that is I just.

Speaker 5 (22:46):
Hope none of these are misdiagnosis.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
You know, it is true the screening practices.

Speaker 5 (22:53):
And yes, it's like, oh, my kid isn't paying attention.
Oh yes, yeah, they says I'm for ADHD or here's
adderall here, you know.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
You know, they do say it's easier to identify autism
and males than in females because men tend to exhibit
more overt symptoms. But eighty eight and autism are two
different things, No, I know, yeah.

Speaker 5 (23:13):
But I've just heard stories about people being misdiagnosed for
both of those.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
All right, Now, Trump and his allies are ramping up
election fraud allegations in Pennsylvania. Seen this playbook, yes you have,
And it's just like in twenty twenty, and they're spreading
viral videos of supposed wrongdoing and they're promising supporters a
legal showdown, and they're saying this could be used to
contest the results of the election if he loses. You know,

(23:39):
they have this whole campaign where they're talking about, you know,
the election being stolen already.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
It's called the Stop the Steel.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
Movement, and that has re emerged and from months activists
have been priming Trump supporters to believe the only way
that Donald Trump can lose is through fraud, and so
they're laying out proposals to wrought to thwart a potential
Kamala Harris victory. They're planning to challenge results in court,
pressuring lawmakers to block election certification. They're encouraging protests, and

(24:11):
they're saying things like January sixth is going to be
really fun, so just be prepared for that. It's a
scary time, all right. Well, that is you're under the
radar now, you know. We have the Way Up mixed
at the top of the hour. Plus we have the
Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey, Tahsha Way, joining us today.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
She's going to talk to us also about the election.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
And there was record numbers for early voting in New Jersey,
so we'll discuss that.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Its way up.

Speaker 10 (24:37):
This says in the rooms.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
From Industry Shade to all.

Speaker 6 (24:41):
Of Gossip out send Angela's spieling.

Speaker 4 (24:43):
That all right, as way Up with Angela Yee and
it is time for your yet and let's do some
diddy updates on what's going on there now. The Feds
are saying that they did not get that video of
Diddy beating his then girlfriend Cassie. What they are saying
is an opposition to a motion that Diddy file tan

(25:03):
that he believes the government gave the video to the
popular cable news channel back in May to CNN, and
they're saying it's not true because we didn't even have
it yet. According to prosecutors, federal agents had searched for
the video early in the investigation, but it disappeared from
the hotel server and they didn't even see it again
until CNN released the footage on May seventeenth. Then they

(25:24):
actually had to get it from there, so it's not
possible like Diddy's been claiming that they're the ones who
leaked this footage. Now, Diddy also has a lot of
people who are accusing him, a lot of anonymous accusers
who are filing lawsuits, but now at least one of
them has to reveal their name. According to new legal
documents obtained by TMZ, a woman who is suing Ditty
for an alleged sexual assault that she says happened twenty

(25:46):
years ago, has to reveal her identity or her suit
will be dismissed.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
Right now. She is a Jane Doe.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
Her lawsuit is one of the one hundred and twenty
lawsuits that's been filed in Texas by Tony Busby. But
although the alls are sensitive in nature, she has not
shown she is entitled to remain anonymous.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
They said. The woman is an adult who decided to
follow a lawsuit.

Speaker 4 (26:07):
In which she accuses a famous person of engaging in
Heinu's conduct approximately twenty years ago. So she has to
follow that complaint in her own name by November thirteenth,
or that case will be thrown out of court. All
right now, John Legend's longtime manager, Tyasti Glorius is saying
that she attended a ditty party twenty seven years ago

(26:29):
and is sharing her experience. She wrote a New York
Times piece today about going to a New Year's Eve
yachtbash in Saint Bart'ess with her brother. She had just
graduated from college, and she said at the party, she
recalls being directed into a bedroom by a man. She
said she's not sure who the person was or if
he was connected to Ditty, but she said that she

(26:49):
started babbling nervously in response to this day, I can't
remember how I managed to talk my way out of
that terrifying situation. Perhaps my brother's on this boat and
he's probably looking for me. She convinced them to unlock
the bedroom door and let her go, so she said
she thought it was just an anomaly due to just
one guy behaving badly at a drunken party. But since
seeing all of these things that have come out, she

(27:10):
has changed her mind.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
All right, A lot of things going on here.

Speaker 4 (27:15):
Oh, and Kiki Palmer, you know she is sharing her
own experiences. She recently told People magazine that while she
was a teenager starring on True Jackson VP, she was
in a secret relationship with a twenty year old man.
She was only fifteen years old at the time. She said,
I was trying to balance between being really young but
also feeling quite mature. If I thought it was inappropriate,

(27:38):
then I wouldn't have done it. Obviously I shouldn't have
been fifteen dating no twenty year old.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
But in my mind, I was like, I got a
full time job.

Speaker 4 (27:45):
Can't nobody understand me but a grown man, but he
knew there was a lot of stuff that there's no
damn way for me to understand a damn fifteen. So
she just recently revealed that to People magazine, and she
said it did take her years to understand that her
romance with the older man and she didn't name wasn't
appropriate until she started dating her now ex boyfriend Darius Jackson.

(28:05):
And she said, until she experienced genuine love, that's she
realized that that relationship was wrong. Fifteen dating a twenty
year old. What twenty year old man would even want
to date a fifteen year old? All right, Nicki Minaj
andray J, we're on Live together. We already know this
was going to be a very lively spirited conversation.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Did you watch this live?

Speaker 10 (28:26):
Dan?

Speaker 12 (28:26):
Did?

Speaker 3 (28:27):
I definitely did all right?

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Well.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
In one of these clips, she's asking him about what happened,
and he details what happens with Diddy's kids.

Speaker 15 (28:36):
This time, I think I got loud and got aggressive,
but it was the third time that's happened, and so
I felt like I needed to like stand up for myself.
Even though I was sorry and we was having a
lot of crazy words. I was walking that way to
avoid the issue, and that's what happened, and it's unfortunate.
But what's dope is that we all got on the phone.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
We talked for about thirty five minutes. You got you
don't care about the.

Speaker 8 (28:55):
Fence about it?

Speaker 3 (28:59):
Well they did piece of it though.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
They got on the phone, so we found that out
and they talked for thirty five minutes. All right, Well
that is your yeete. When we come back, we have
asked yee. Eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty
is a number. Call us up any question you have.
I'm here to help you out. That's eight hundred two
ninety two fifty one fifty is the way up. Ooh,
we love this song. Kilanie Jordan Otta Tunji is way out.

Speaker 10 (29:20):
This one of me most famous women in radio radio women.

Speaker 6 (29:23):
We're talking about Angela Ye.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
You're way up with Angela yee. Please believe that it's.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Way up with Angela yee.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
I'm here and normally we would be doing ask ye here,
but today we do have some breaking news. And I
see and I see this has been going crazy on
social media. So Meghan the Stallion, in her words, a
two hour Amazon Prime documentary is available and on here.

(29:50):
They're talking about a lot of different things. It actually
came out today. She talks about her mom, who was
her role model, her coach, her confident, her number one fan,
and she said that she now throws herself into work
and partying. In the wake of her mother's death. She said,
I just keep being lit thinking I get through the pain.
She said twenty twenty was the worst year of her life.

(30:11):
But she also admits that she lied when she was
being interviewed by Gil King on CBS Mornings in a
twenty twenty two interview. Now Here is what Megan thee
Stallion said on her documentary.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Yes, I lied.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
To Gil King.

Speaker 9 (30:25):
First, I know that's going to ask me about She
always gonna talk about the shooting.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Why did you ask me about the toy? That's not
what this is about.

Speaker 11 (30:32):
Even if I was like once maybe twice on drump Night,
but you kept catching me out of my.

Speaker 4 (30:38):
Mind, all right, So this is the first time she's
saying that that did indeed happen. And if you're recalling
the Gil King interview, gil King did press her about
whether she had a sexual relationship. Here's what happened in
that interview.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Did you have an intimate relationship with him, like sexual.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yeah, I didn't have a sexual relationship with Tori.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
So I guess she said.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
What she's saying in this documentary is that it did
catch her off guard that question, and she also says
that none of that justifies her being shot and she
did not deserve bullet wounds in her foot. So what
do you think now that this has come out, Dan,
Because she's maintained that they didn't have anything, there was
a lot of rumors about what happened. Tory Lanez has
said this that they did have a sexual relationship.

Speaker 13 (31:22):
She was definitely caught off guard. But like, I don't
know how we all lied about having sexual song before.

Speaker 4 (31:28):
Yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure everybody has. But I guess
in this particular situation because it's involving something that was
so high profile legal case. In a legal case, it
makes it a little different because you know, what sucks
is that you could be caught off guard and you
could lie about something, and when you do that one time,
people think you lie about everything.

Speaker 5 (31:47):
But this also doesn't have anything to do it doesn't.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
But I'm just saying now, and like, if you look
at the comments, you know, perception sometimes is going to be, oh,
you weren't honest here, Well, how do we know?

Speaker 3 (31:56):
And that's unfortunately how people are.

Speaker 4 (31:59):
Like somebody could tell that could lie about a thousand things,
tell the truth about one, and then people think you
know everything and you're always telling the truth.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
It just works that way.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
But I do think in her own words in her
documentary finally saying this, this is something that she put
out there, you know, knowing, I'm sure that people are
going to have a lot to say about it.

Speaker 5 (32:20):
I'm sure her lawyers saw this before it went out too.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
Right, So this is, you know, her personal thing. But anyway,
you guys can definitely call and wait in for the
last word. If you call up right now, we'll be
taking your calls. We'll play it for last word. But
when we come back, we have the Lieutenant Governor of
New Jersey, Tahsha Way, joining us, and we're going to
be talking about early voting. She voted early the first
day you could early vote. A lot of people voted
early in New Jersey. I think across the board, a

(32:45):
lot of people are taking advantage of early voting as
they should. I voted early, you voted early, I did,
I'm meant to do it. I'm gonna do it this weekend.
I am going to vote early, all right, So eight
hundred and two nine two fifty one fifty. We definitely
want to hear what you have to say for last word.
But Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey to Heeshawey is up next.
Its way up, way up with Angela Yee. More now,

(33:08):
what's up? Its way up with Angela Yee. And I
am here with Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey, Tahshaway. Welcome,
Thanks for having me, Angela. What are your thoughts now
seeing how the country and how people are reacting to
the potential of having a black woman be president.

Speaker 11 (33:23):
Yeah. Well, I'm going to take off my Secretary of
State hat right because I have to, you know, operate
on a different lane with that one. But I can
just say it brings such pride, you know. I've been
honored and blessed to serve as one of her campaign
surrogates and the battlegrounds just making sure everyone understands who

(33:47):
she is and what she can bring to the table.
And I think that we're at a time in which
we should not even be looking at the party or
even if this is a male, a person of color,
a female. We should just be looking at who is
the most qualified to lead, who can set a standard Angela,

(34:10):
you know, for our kids. I mentioned at that time
when I was practicing, I was a county commissioner. I
had three girls at that time. Now I have full
you know, and one is ten years old. And you
say to her, you say, to all of our kids,
this is the highest position in the land. A standard

(34:33):
should be set for our kids as to not only
what can they become, but what you are supposed to
do and what you're not supposed to do, how you
are supposed to be treated others.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
Right now, I am taking to Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey,
Tahisha Way.

Speaker 11 (34:50):
I look at her qualifications, having been a district attorney,
state Attorney general, fighting the fight just for the common
people that everyday people, regardless of where you come from
or who you are. I look at the standard of her,
uh the sexually assaulted in it, you know, and not

(35:14):
being a predator right and not tearing folk apart. And
the thing about it is that if voters really look
at her economic platform, it's for everyone right to make
sure everybody can get ahead.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
What are some of Kamala Harris's policies that matter to
you the most.

Speaker 11 (35:32):
I have two daughters who are older, who have graduated,
and you know, you look at them and you know
sometimes they have to think about Okay, I have to
find a roommate nowadays, right in.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
Terms eighty two or three. There you go, yeah, there
you go.

Speaker 11 (35:48):
And this is what our college graduates are facing. But
you know one of her policies is to make rental
more affordable banging home exactly. You know that that initial investment.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
Student loan debt, dare you guys a big one right there.

Speaker 11 (36:03):
And so when you really think about all of her
policies so that everyone can get ahead and just have
the simple idea of being valued, is you know what
she you know and and it speaks from the heart.

Speaker 4 (36:21):
Tahisha Way is here with us and we are talking
about all things politics and making sure that you guys
know that you can early vote starting now. The last
day to vote is election day on Tuesday. More with
Tahisha Way. When we come back, you want to know
my name?

Speaker 3 (36:40):
What's up?

Speaker 4 (36:41):
His way up with Angela Yee and I am talking
to Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey, Tahsha Way. You know,
I've heard people say that Donald Trump. The economy was
better under Donald Trump, and they have more money in
their pockets and gas with cheaper groceries with cheaper What
do you say when people say.

Speaker 11 (36:57):
That people should not fall for misinformation out there? And
I think that people really have to remember the times
under his tenure Economically, I don't think that we were
better off. People say, oh, well, we received the checks.
But everyone has to understand Congress was the one with

(37:19):
Donald Trump just slapping his name and.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
I didn't want that to happen. And Congress passed that
and had those checks out. He actually delayed those checks
that he could put his name on him exactly.

Speaker 11 (37:29):
You know. I look at how three hundred thousand Black
Americans were taken off of the healthcare roles, if you will,
under his administration the first two years, that unemployment for
African Americans was higher, and these are the things that again,
we must continue to get that message out because these.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
Are the facts.

Speaker 4 (37:53):
Right now, I am taking to Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey,
Tahisha Way. Lastly, I saw you early voting, so we
want to make sure that everybody knows to go out
and vote.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
You can vote early, So vote early. Yeah, vote early
if you can.

Speaker 4 (38:08):
Are you nervous about like seeing stories about ballot boxes
set on fire?

Speaker 3 (38:11):
And I thought about it.

Speaker 4 (38:12):
I'm like, what happens to those ballots that get destroyed
after that? Because I feel like that can make people
feel concerned, like, well, I voted early and my vote
got you know, my ballot got destroyed.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
Now what happens?

Speaker 11 (38:24):
Yeah. I can't, you know, speak about how every other
state conducts their safety protocols or security protocols. I just
know I'm loving the early vote records that we're setting
in New Jersey. I also, you know, I reassure voters
and from day one, ever since you know, I took office,
I've sat down and this is not partisan. It's with

(38:48):
all of the governmental law enforcement and safety folk from
the FBI to Homeland Security, both federal, both state, both
Attorney general offices and also usps IT folk just making
sure that we shore up the integrity of our infrastructure

(39:10):
and just making sure that you know our ballot boxes.
We always tell voters they're twenty four to seven surveyed, right,
and that they can track their ballots and to have
like that open line of communication. This is a very
consequential election, if not the most consequential election ever in

(39:31):
our history. But at the same time, I still want
to encourage voters to vote for or in for the
school board elections. I want them to vote for the
fire district or elections, all of the local races too.

Speaker 4 (39:45):
I tell people, before you go, look at who's on
your ballot, and that way when you go, you know
who's running, you know who you want to vote for,
and look it up ahead of time, so that when
you go there's do you're not just like guessing or
just picking something and the kindom you know, who your
candidates are and who you're going to vote for. Well,
thank you so much, Secretary of State of New Jersey,
Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey, and maybe one day Governor.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
I focus on what I do.

Speaker 4 (40:09):
All right, Well, thank you so much again. You guys,
make sure you get out and vote. Let's not play
any games, y'all. You can watch that full interview on
my YouTube channel with Tahitsha Way on, Way Up with
Angela Yee.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
And when we come back, you guys have the last word.

Speaker 6 (40:23):
Take up the phone, tappiing to get your voice.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
Heard what the word is. Here's the last word on
Way up with Angela.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
Ye.

Speaker 4 (40:31):
Yes, it's way up at Angela Ye. Happy Thursday, Happy Halloween, everybody.
There's a lot of activity up here. I heard, and
I know people who are at work right now. People
are dressed up around you, having a good time. There's
a ton of candy up here in the studio right now.
I actually am coming down off this candy high we have.
I think a lot of us in this room have

(40:52):
a candy addiction. I will say that much. A lot
of us in this room really enjoy it.

Speaker 3 (40:57):
But thank you. Everybody who calls in today and talk
about love is blind with us.

Speaker 4 (41:01):
That's fun. That's always a good time. Dan, you have
to watch the full reunion ten.

Speaker 5 (41:06):
Nights because the Yankees were on. That's why, you know,
I mean, you know priorities.

Speaker 4 (41:10):
Yeah, I saw Wendell Pierce was at the Yankees game.
You know him from obviously from from the wire, and
he said he never again the fans were so rude,
throwing things. He said he was talking to a Dodgers
fan and everybody got very angry and upset about that.

(41:30):
That's crazy, all right. Well, anyway, of course, you guys,
this is your show. We talked about a lot of
different things. I know calls are still coming in about
some of the topics we talked. We talked about Megan
the Stallion's documentary which is out right now on Amazon,
so make sure you guys check that out. But let's
hear what y'all had to say, because again, like I said,
this is your show.

Speaker 7 (41:51):
Hey, angel Flusha. I think him is right because women
like to put a lot of the genuine circlemstances on
men as far when it comes to their family and
how they're supposed to be treated and things like that
and how they want to be treated. I think that
if the parents came down for throw ten hours to
get there, she could have spent a little bit more time.

(42:12):
One nep would not have killed her to miss that day.

Speaker 12 (42:16):
Hey, it's a joy.

Speaker 7 (42:18):
I want to shine a light on my husband, Raymond.
He out on the road dropping his truck making sure
that me and the kids got a good light they
I appreciate you and I love you and thank you
so much for everything that you do.
