Speaker 8 (06:15):
It is.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Way up at Angela yee.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Sure she's about to blow the lid ab off this spot.

into some yet donell Let's get into some ut, all right,
halle Berry wanted king I know your voice interview. Don't worry,
We're about to have some coffee in the second nice
like this. Halle Berry has to pay eight thousand dollars
a month in child support to Olivier Martinez they have

(06:45):
finalized their divorce. Not only that, she also has to
pay him four point three percent of any income. She
gets over two million dollars in additional support, and she
got to pay her son's private school tuition, uniforms and
school supplies, and any extracurricular activities and paying him back
for any of the costs for this year.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
What's the visitation situation? Because you got the money, park,
but how often will we get to see this.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Case joint legal custody? Yeah, and you know her daughter
who's now I think her daughter's like fifteen years old.
She had the same thing with Gabriel Aubrey, that's her
daughter's father.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
She had to pay him at first sixteen thousand a month,
and then I think she got it slashed in half.
And now she's got to pay this amount for her
son who's now ninety years old. It's crazy because Olivier Martinez,
he was like a.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Dog goes right.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Sometimes it don't go right, that's right, boy.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
And I know it was the power ski And I
know a lot of people will say, relax, relax, Okay,
all right, let's move on. Allen Iverson is bringing his
own weed strain to Pennsylvania and he's going to be
celebrating that in Philly. He's actually working with Harrington. You
know our Harrington has his brand Viola.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
Yeah, he's been in a business for a while.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yes he has. And they also have like a women's
part of that too, for a wellness for us.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
Really.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah, there's like some intimacy drops and things like that.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
What does an intimacy drop.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
It's some jobs that you can put in your vagina
and that you know gives you stimulation, just like you
guys use honey packs and stuff those.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
You guys, I don't do that all natural reality.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
I heard you should.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
Sea boss just seed bss. You've done no.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
And Lauren Hill has announced her co headlining tour. She's
reuniting with the Fujis.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
You always know when these artists get to a point
where they need the money.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
She's not good. She's been on tour. She's celebrating twenty
five years in the Miseducation of Laurence Hill, and on
Tuesday they announced that she'll be going on tour for that.
They did reunite at the Roots Picnic. I was actually
there at that Roots Picnic. We did Lift Service live
and when I was leaving, I actually when I was
walking to the front, I saw a white cleft. He

(09:01):
got out.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
He was like, oh what up?

Speaker 2 (09:02):
I was like, he was a surprise guest. I guess
people didn't know the Fuzies were reuniting there and so
now they're doing a whole tour. What probably happened was
they did that and they were like, you know what,
We're stronger together.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
Oh yeah, and that's where the're gonna get their biggest money.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
And my question is will they be able to uh
sing the songs or play the songs like from the album.
I know this sounds crazy, but I saw her perform once.
They said it had some type of legal issue which
she can't sing in a certain melody or something like that.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
Do you know anything about it.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
That might be for her solo? I don't know. I
don't know what the whole situation is with that, but
we'll look into that. But I know that people have
had issues where they've had to rerecord their albums like
jay Z did it or previously I think did Taylor
Swift do that also? And Ashanti's doing that. You know,
they re record the album so that they can actually
make money off of it. That's when you don't have

(09:50):
your publishing I guess.

Speaker 9 (09:52):
So.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Now Prize is also facing up to twenty years in
prison because he was found guilty of that whole situation
with helping to to influenced the US government, So he's
waiting for his sentencing with that, So that might be
another reason. You know, they had so much success together
at such a young age. Maybe you still feel like but.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
It's so unfortunate when they was at the height, when
groups were people like that at the height, and then
something happens where you missed them in their prime. I'm
pretty sure the tour will be successful, but we wanted
to see that.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
I remember they were onto our outcasts way back in
the day. I went to that tour.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
That was great.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah, that was amazing. So now who knows what capp next.
All right, Blue Face was stabbed by a stranger while
he was training at an LA boxing gym. I saw
the footage. We didn't see the actual stabbing, but we
did see the guy was arguing and then Blueface went
up and punched them and it turned into more and
then I guess the camera cut off after that. But

(10:48):
you know, Blueface is the one that posted that footage. Now,
the LAPD confirmed that a man was taken to a
local hospital with a stab womb while conscious and breathing,
but they did not identify at that time that it
was Blueface Clout. They said the guy ran into the
gym yelling out, I'm going to kill you at blue Face.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
Yeah goes a lot of people think it's fake people
do anything to get those clicks.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
I mean, he really went to the hospital and got stabbed.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
He I want to see the wound face. His face
should be red after stabbing.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
I'm like, all right, I want to see them.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
I want to see the evidence.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Well that is your yee t see how it is.
People don't believe anything. Now and when we come back,
we have about last night, and that's where we discussed
what we did last night. I felt like, this is
all you done. Now you talking about I know I.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Had a good night because I don't remember anything I did,
and I know I had a good night when they
tell me what I did the next day, All right.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Well we're going to find him. It's way up with
Angela Yee about last night. It's next with Donelle Rowlings.

Speaker 5 (11:44):
So about last night last night that I went down.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yes, it's way up at Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee

Speaker 3 (12:00):

your little inside jokes. No, the next do you know

That was yes, n now, I love you, but I
don't trust me.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Okay, Well, anyway most relationships, Yeah, it is right, Okay, Well, anyway,
I want to also thank Delongey for stopping by this morning.

that we'll be sharing similar things with Delongey. Given I'll

Speaker 4 (12:48):
I don't know what you're.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Talking about, all right, But anyway, about last night, and
I did want to make sure you had some coffee
because I know Dave Chappelle is in town. It is
his fiftieth birthday today. Everybody was hitting me up. I
was in Denver, Colorado, and they were like, are you
at this show. Are you here? Are you here? Can
you get me tickets? Can you get me there? And
I was not even here, so I know.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
We missed you. It was a good times we did.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Nobody asked for me.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
They did ask me, and I told her it was like,
where's she? I was like, she's doing some bigger and
better things. She's too good for our crew.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Never yesterday the Roots killed it.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Last night, Nas performed, who else, the Baby performed, Ludacris,
John Stewart, Chris Rock. It was just like everybody was
just coming out and last night the garden was on fire.
I'm so used to when I do the arena shows
with them, we do it in the round, which is
like when you performing a round, it feel like you're
a boxer coming out that hallway. But we had I

(13:42):
think a quarter of the arena was cut off because
of the stage, but everybody performed hit that stage.

Speaker 4 (13:48):
Last night. It was doped. Me went over to PhD.
It had another after party was at a rooftop to
which at.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Three I was like, I gotta go do way up,
So I gotta get up, but I made it.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Then shout out to Dave.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
I didn't think he was gonna make it. I'm not
gonna lie. This morning, I was like, Danniell probably just
laid down because I'm not gonna lie hanging out with
you and the crew and Dave, you end up staying
out until like the sun comes up.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
But if I'm telling you, if I tell you I'm
gonna do something I've thought about, I was gonna hit
you with, oh, I can't make it. I was like,
what would you do? You've never let me down on
any situation like that. If you said you're gonna do something,
You're gonna do it.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
So that's why I flew out to Charlotte, North Carolina
to see you.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
Yep, it was a good time. You always support me.
I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
No, I'm excited and I'm excited for you to tape
your special. So I know you're getting ready for that
and I'm gonna be there, so just make sure you
give me some notice.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
And and it's the second time this is supposed to
have been out.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
A year ago, I shot one and then I had
an air date two weeks before it's supposed to air.
Dave caused me told me he want to do it again.
I'm like, wow, because that would be a hard feel
for a comedian to swallow. You're like it were not funny,
But he said, down there, and I could put you
in front of any audience any day.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
You will rip it. It doesn't mean get a great special.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
And then we don't we remember we did it when
the pandemic was kind of and all.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
All the protocol was kind of like, no.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
It was kind of weird how it was. It was.
It was more like what the audience had to do
and how production was setting up and people it was weird.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
And then people had masks on everything. And then if
we would have aired that one, it would have dated itself.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
But it definitely dated it.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
But I can't the hardest thing to do for some
people's accept constructive criticism. I went back to a joining
board and I'm telling you November, I'm excited about it.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
It's gonna be there again. And you know me, if
I come, I'm bringing like twenty people with me.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Always always, you don't come no less than.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
That got to bring the whole crew. Well, you guys know,
I was in Denver, Colorado. It was the Podcast Movement Festival,
and so shout out to DJ Louis V. He interviewed
me on stage. I was just talking about getting my
start in podcasting. I saw I ran into one of
your friends, Donell, and he was like, we got to
take a video so I can send it to Donelle
so I can tell him I rent into you. And
I was like, make sure he knows that I'm actually

(15:59):
nice to his friends, because you're not nice to my
friends when they come up to you and they say, oh,
I'm friends with Angela.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
No, they disrespectful. Your friends say, I got trash, trash eggplant.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
So anyway, they said. The other thing they said was
can you tell him to get back on his podcast
because he just stopped doing it all of a sudden,
and so you got to start your podcast, I know.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
And I've already got three new ones and they can.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
I'm just waiting.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Just be consistent. That's all I ask.

Speaker 4 (16:25):

Thank you? Listen. Well, first of all, I'm excited that
you're gonna be an Angela Yee day this year for
the first time. I am excited too, But listen, I
love that you're doing this because when you first blew
up right, afrobeats is not where it is today, definitely
at all. So let's talk about you just breaking into
the business. This is your first time on Way Up

(17:20):
at Angela Yee. I don't think we've ever sat down.
I don't think for you.

Speaker 9 (17:23):
I don't think so. Yeah, I don't think so. Your
number is you know it did this thing? It blew
Up in twenty sixteen is one of the first songs
to cross over, you know, the afrobeats song. I've been
doing Applebeat since like twenty twelve. You know, while I
was in school, I moved back to Nigeria to push
other sounds and then your number took off. You know,
I'm here still doing my thing.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
And you actually worked with Fetti Wip early on too.

Speaker 9 (17:47):
Yeah, Fetti was the first remix I did for your number.
So that's the one that that's the remix that I
created that took off the song. It make the song
blow up.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
You also did take a bit of a break.

Speaker 9 (17:58):
Too, Yeah, I did around the time when your number
was hot and I was performing. It just so happened that,
you know, my mom had Alzheimer's, so she started, you know,
having years crazy, so she started having like symptoms, and
you know, me and my mom were really close and
she supported me, so I just took her as my responsibility.
So I used to you know, she lives with me
even till today. I take care of her, shower her,

(18:20):
do all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
So that's such a good son.

Speaker 9 (18:23):
Well yeah, definitely. So that kind of like slow you
down a little bit because you have to take care
of priority, you know, besides the music. But thankfully I
had your number going on, so I was able to,
you know, at least take a break and still be okay,
you know, fit my family and everything, you know, But
I'm back.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Okay, that's a lot of pressure.

Speaker 9 (18:44):
I mean, definitely it is. But you know, as my mom,
so I don't really think about it like you know,
I have to do. She's like my child, right yeah. Yeah,
and she did everything for you. Now she would do
the same thing if it was me. So that's the
point of kids.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
I feel like, yeah, this world took care of you. Yeah.
One of the kids is when I need you living
in life and things flip, you better be that bag.

Speaker 9 (19:05):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
Right now we are talking to afrobeats artist IOJ. All right,
and now let's talk about because you do have an
EP that's about to come out. Yes, so right before
Angela E Day, this EP is going to be out,
and so let's talk about that for a second and
the whole process of you and I know you work
with Fab on this too.

Speaker 9 (19:23):
Yes, Fab is on track too, Paranoia.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Talk about Paranoia a little bit.

Speaker 9 (19:29):
Actually, I wrote that song when your number was blowing up. Also, well,
you go to the Wile Ago, a song that I
wrote a while ago, and it's kind of like when
I was meeting you know, females and you know, you
don't know what they like you for you or they
like you for what's going on right now? So that
was an idea I had then and I put it
out a couple of years ago, and you know, the
numbers were good, and I just I felt like you

(19:50):
needed a rapper, okay, and you know, I feel like
fib was was the best fit.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Let's talk about that for a second, because we talk
about like, you know, guys feel like, well, I don't
know if she likes me for me, but then and
for women, what do y'all like us for? You know
what I'm saying, because a lot of times guys have
their own motives and question.

Speaker 9 (20:07):
Angela, I mean, it's a great question. I mean, I
mean to be honest with you. First of all, I
just see.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
The looks right her parents.

Speaker 9 (20:17):
So you know, if that catches me, then maybe the
other things can you know, hold me or catch me
even more so.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
That's because when a girl meets you, she knows who
you are. But then maybe if she decides she likes
you more after that, then you know it can get
Give the women a break, please, we need to respond,
We need to respect definitely.

Speaker 9 (20:38):
But you know, I just that's that's just my point
of view. You know, I'm just teasing you.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
Put you on the defensive for a second. Fair enough,
Right now we are talking to afrobeats artist IOJ. What
made you decide now was the time to put a
project out?

Speaker 9 (20:53):
My friend passed away last summer. That's who I named
the EP after. Tommy. He was one of my very
close friends. He used to bought me, you just to
tell me to put out music all the time. We
were just out, you know, having fun the last summer
and he just he drowned or on the boat.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
I'm sorry. I am so sorry to hear that. I
know you said that's like your brother.

Speaker 9 (21:12):
Yeah, definitely my friend m brother. It was around when
I started recording some of the songs on the project.
I just feel like, you know what, it is right
to just dedicate it to him. And I was going
to put it out anyway this year, so I just
feel like, you know what, let me just name it
after my friend because he was there. He's not here now,
but you know it'll honor him.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
So does this mean that now you're fully back in
it and you're gonna do it?

Speaker 9 (21:36):
Definitely? Okay, definitely back pretty much. I just found the
ways of balance, taking care of priority family and you know,
doing what I have to do too, you know, make
an impact in the world.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
And what about like afro pop, because I know there's
a lot of different categories within, you know, because we've
had some artists opinion and like everything is not afrobeats
because I think feel like if it's from any part
of Africa, it's just afrobeats, but it is a lot
of different categories within that.

Speaker 9 (22:02):
I have this argument even within my own camp and
my friends. People call it what they want to Burnaby
calls his stuff afrofusion. Like there's no set definition for
all these things. For me, if the sound is like
influenced by like the African sound, if he has the
African elements to it, it's afrobeats in general. I know
that I know the idea of afro pop. I understand

(22:25):
the fusions, but everything to me is all on the
category afrobeats.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
All right, Well listen IOJ. We're going to see a
lot of you, and I really appreciate you. I was
very excited when they said that you were down to
do Angela, So that's really hyped for me.

Speaker 9 (22:38):
So I listen to you for a few years, so
I wanted to be here.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Yeah, as soon as they said I said yes, please
lock it in. So thank you so much. We're appreciative.
It's an event that is for the community, it's free,
it's for the kids, you know. So I just am
glad to also celebrate your new EP with you.

Speaker 9 (22:55):
Definitely on that day.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
So what makes sure that everybody.

Speaker 9 (22:57):
Knows thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
All Right, EP is coming out Tommy on Friday, definitely,
And when we come back, we have a YET and
let's talk about Kevin Hart. He really injured himself and
now he's in a wheelchair. We'll tell you what happened.
Is way up with Angela yee. Donelle can relate to say.

Speaker 5 (23:12):
In the rooms from industry shade to all the gossip out,
Angela's speeling that.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Yet what's up?

Speaker 2 (23:20):
It's way up with Angela yee. I'm Angela yee. And
Dinelle Rawlings is here.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
Oh I'm back.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
Listen. That coffee helped you delicious. Since we're doing yet,
you know, I got a line of tea also, but
we'll talk about that later. But yes, let's get right
into this. Kevin Hart is explaining how he ended up
in a wheelchair. He tried to have a friendly foot
race and he was having a friendly foot race with
a former NFL player, uh and it led to his injury.

(23:47):
So he posted forty four and sitting my ass down,
I got to be the dumbest man alive. What the
f am I doing? I blew my ish. I'm done.
Here's what he said.

Speaker 4 (23:56):
I'm in a wheelchair.

Speaker 10 (23:57):
Why, Well, because I tried to jump out there and
do some young stuff. Shout out to Steven wildly. I'm
gonna go to put this story out there before you do.
We got into a little debate. This debate was based
off of who's faster. Those that know me know I'm
pretty fast. Steven said, keviv Ain't no way you're gonna
beat me. Steve and his axe NFL running back play
for the name of Patriots. I said, Steve, you can
bet it, he said back.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
I said back.

Speaker 10 (24:17):
We get out there, we go run a forty year
old dash tored my lord, abdomen my abductors.

Speaker 4 (24:22):
I can't walk.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Now. I want to say, Donna, I know you can
relate to this.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
I'm telling you it's certainly you don't. A lot of
times you don't know how to hold you onto. Something
like that happens maybe two years ago out of the
backyard barbecue, the kids having us eight foot rims right
and they said. They looked at me right in my
face and said, what you're gonna do? I said, what
y'all gonna do is turn your camera on. We putting
this on Twitter, vyne or whatever. They said, what you're
gonna do? I said, I'm gonna throw the ball off
the backboard. I said, I'm gonna do a three sixty.

(24:51):
I said, all my way down because I had a
rag doing barbecue with I said, all my way down,
I'm gonna wipe my.

Speaker 4 (24:56):
Face and y'all get this for YouTube.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
All I remember I'm doing was taking two steps back
and I felt like it was a drive by. I
felt my nego yeah. And the funny thing about it,
the kids looked at me. It looked like a Spike
Lee movie. They was looking down at me. I'm looking up.
There was like we don't even know what happened. He
was only two inches off the ground. So lesson learned.
You get to a certain age, you gotta do those
stretches or you will be in a wheelchair.

Speaker 4 (25:21):
It's just easy.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
And they say kickball. You pulled something there.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
To why all of your stories are negative toward me.
Is there anything positive about Donnie Rawlins.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
He also had an incident where he was dancing and
he dropped it low and then you need help getting well.

Speaker 4 (25:37):
You call him forty. Women call him Jermaine.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Okay, Jamaine.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
Yeah, he don't the streets. But I wish your name forty,
I told I mean one time his girls, I was
like with forty.

Speaker 4 (25:44):
She was like, who's forty? That's Jermaine. The only girls
get everybody else get the X. All right?

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Well anyway, yeah, so the moral of the story is
be careful, yeah, and don't do all that now. Tyler
the creator says he got a BBL. There were pictures
of him whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoah trad carefully here
all right. A picture of him and Sexy Red went
viral and he said he got some work done, and

(26:11):
he posted on social media, I got a BBL. This
is not photoshop, and so he also said it really lifted.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
His same change.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Okay, here's the picture, and he said he's been hiding it.
But the cat is out of the bag. So it
also could be the angle. By the way, it looks
like they took that pice from an upward angle, and
sometimes you know, you do a little pose, you poke
it out from the upward, upward angle, it can make
it look like you had a BBL. But maybe he
did have one. He said, he's it's not photoshop. Okay,

(26:44):
Ken Lamar has closed. I'm trying to help you got
a b BL. No, he closed on a nine million
dollar penthouse in New York City. So I saw when
they said he was looking, and he was actually in
Brooklyn too, looking for a place. But he did end
up finding a place, So shout out to him. He's
going to be in New York City. It's crazy how

(27:05):
you could buy something and everybody knows. But there you
have it. He's going to be living out here, so
that's dope. We'd love to end up seeing him out
and about.

Speaker 4 (27:15):
And I know.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
I'm trying to move on past it because I don't
want you to say something wrong. Yeah you can say that.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
I won't say that.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
I just say yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
That leaves.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
All right, Well that is your yet and when we
come back, we have under the radar. These are the
stories that are not necessarily in the headlines, but we
definitely feel like you need to know about them. They're
just as interesting, and sometimes they're under the radar. I know,
I was watching the Republicans debate yesterday, so I feel
like everybody's been talking about that today. Somebody asked me,
They were like, who do you think performed the best?

(27:56):
And I was like, well, that's all relative, you know,
depending on what you believe and what you say, because
there are some things that I very strongly disagree with,
you know, like a lot of what's happening in Florida,
but some people strongly support that and they might feel
like that was great.

Speaker 4 (28:08):
I'm sick of politics all together.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Okay, I didn't know you even really got into it.

Speaker 4 (28:13):
I mean, I just I'm just sick of it.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Okay, fair enough. Well, we have under the radar when
we come back, and it's not going to be about politics.
It's way up with Angela bbl yah.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
News.

Speaker 5 (28:25):
This in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Yes, it is way up with Angela ye or as
Dannelle would say.

Speaker 4 (28:33):
Yes, Donnelle wouldn't say that.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
What would you say?

Speaker 4 (28:39):
Yeahs because he got a y'all's voice.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Yeah, And now it's time for under the radar. These
are the stories that are not necessarily the headlines. They
are flying under the radar. Now, the fifteen cities in
the United States with the highest cost of living, right,
what do you think is number one? If you had, well,
that's the state? Okay, San Francisco's number three, Orange County,
California's number five in LA is number six on the list.

Speaker 4 (29:04):
I knew it was up there.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
But number one is Manhattan in New York. Really, Now,
there's a lot of New York places that made this
list of top fifteen highest highest costing places to live. So,
like I said, Manhattan' number one, Brooklyn is number four
on that list as well as Queen's made the list
at number thirteen, and then Nassau County made the list

(29:26):
at number fifteen, but others rounding out the top five.
Is New York than Honolulu, San Francisco, than Brooklyn, than
Orange County, California.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
Now it's a very expencive place to live. But how's
that with the jobs paid? Those places? They pay more
than other states that aren't on a list.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
I think New York you have the potentia to make
a lot more money, but you also spend so much more,
so it kind of yeah, you have to make more
money in order to be able to survive in New York.
I know so many people that moved here from other
places and left. They were like, I can't take it anymore.

Speaker 4 (29:57):
And then doing the pandemic, a lot of people left
and never came back.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
And I think the other issue is that not only
is it expensive to live here, you don't get much
for your money.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
When you start going to places with acres and stuff,
you'd be like, damn like yet, oh my god, yeah,
five hundred square feet that's like some people's front yard
in midwesternost.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Country areas well. Speaking of a support being a country, mad,
I know you do, ave j riven Ninja, Yes, all right. Now,
New York is also paying homeowners up to one hundred
and twenty five thousand dollars, and that's because they want
people to build these tiny homes in their yards. They're
called Accessory Dwelling Units eighty US and so as of
August fifteenth, they spent about twenty three million dollars doing this.

(30:37):
It's part of a package. It's called the Plus one
EIGHTYU program, and so they give homeowners across the state
a grant of up to one hundred and twenty five
thousand dollars. If you add that additional housing unit to
your property.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
Is it for your personal use or to what for
some oh, for some other people.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
Who lived in Yes, because there's a housing shortage here.
And they said this is something that's been happening nationwide
and makes both buying and renting a home very expensive.
So now they're hoping that this can help owners, and
they've been easing zoning ordinances to allow homeowners to build
additional living unit.

Speaker 4 (31:10):
Price price for one of those units.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
I don't know. I've never bought one, but I see
they have him at like home detail.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
I saw that like a box, like free Frabrica. I
want to put one in my backyard. I would do that.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
So if you give one of those rich ladies and gentlemen,
stop it.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
If you give one of those houses, say they give
you one twenty five thousand dollars a grant.

Speaker 4 (31:28):
If you build up like fifty grand, you can.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
Keep the rest. That's your money. But then you also
have some people living in your yard. That's the other
the only thing, all right. And we talked about this
story last week Mississippi police officer who took a ten
year old to jail. That's because he had to go
to the bathroom and he urinated behind his mom's car.
Now his mom was inside somewhere, she was gone for

(31:51):
a few minutes, so he was with his sister. The
ten year old had to go to the bathroom. So
he did that, and at first the first police officer
was going to let him go, but then other police
officers came and they ended up really arresting him and
taking him to moles for that. But you're not ten
years old, Donell. That's the difference, all right. So now
Quantavius is traumatized from this experience according to his mom,

(32:12):
and the Mississippi police officer who did that actually lost
his job. And so that's because I think this story was,
you know, being circulated. Something had to happen. And the
police department, they even admitted that they made an error
in judgment by taking Quantavious to jail. This happened on
August tenth, and so they did apologize and they said

(32:32):
they're also going to discipline the other officers involved in
Quantavius's detainment and give additional juvenile training for all officers.
And that is you're under the radar stories. Now you know,
we do have a way Up mixed coming at the
top of the hour. What's today Thursday? I never know
what day it is because I've been all over the
place this week. We also have Tamika Scott from Escape

(32:53):
joining us. You know she's been in the news the
SWUV Escape show happened. Tamika and her sister were having
a lot of very public disputes and a lot of
family disputes. So we're going to get into all of that.
It's way up with Angela Yee. It's a talk like
they Angela Jean, like they Angela jee Man.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
She's spilling it all. This is yea te way off.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Yes, it is way up with Angela ye I'm Angela
Yee and done. Now Rowlands is here, wide away, fully moisturized,
fully moisturized, wide awoke. All right, let's get into some
yeak tea Fire Festival. Remember that festival.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
That's one right, Yes, ju was a part of.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
That, right, Yeah, it was Billy McFarlane and jar Rul
was his partner. And somebody go to jail Billy McFarlane.
He's out now and he actually is relaunching the Fire
Festival and it's already sold out.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
Wow, what's the laurel the lore of this festival.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Let me tell you something. Some of the tickets were
seven ninety nine dollars apiece.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
And Taylor Swift is not going to be there too.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
We don't even know who's good. They've even announced it's
going to be there. But here's Billy McFarlane when he
was talking about the Fire Festival to.

Speaker 11 (34:00):
People as far away as the Middle East and South America,
and ultimately we decided that Fire Festival too is coming
back to the Caribbean. We were targeting Fire Festival two
for the end of next year. In the meantime, what
we didn't pop ups and events across the world.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
He is not playing that he came back doing the
same thing. And the fact that no one knows who's
on the bill and they don't even know an exact date,
but it's sold out already. I kind of don't believe that.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
What is this guy's backstory? I mean, he's start as
like a club promoter or something, or what.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
Is he I remember he had this like black card
first that was like some exclusive black card, and then
he started this whole fire thing and he's able to
raise money and so he got a whole lot of
investors and then ended up going to jail for Yeah,
for that, all right, Reggie Bush, he wants to get
his Heisman trophy back, and so now he has filed

(34:49):
a defamation suit and he's trying to make sure that
that can happen. That's all because of the quote pay
for play type of arrangements. And he won the Heisman
trop but unfortunately he gave up the award because they
found he received benefits of several thousand dollars in a
vehicle that was not allowed at the time, and he
was ruled ineligible as of two thousand and four. And

(35:12):
so now he's saying, the rules have changed, I should
be able to get my Heisman back. And I saw
the attorney bank Crump was posting about that.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
Yeah, I'm glad that they got to the point now
where they let these athletes make money because all the
money it makes so much money. They had to come
to that. So shout out to Reggie Bush for trying
to go back in time to be ahead.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
I appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Yeah, he said he was never paid to play football
while at the University of Southern California and it was
defamation and you know like y'all were staying behind the scenes.
They all do that, they all do it.

Speaker 4 (35:44):
But he just got.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
Busted, all right. Skip Bayless has unveiled Undisputed's new team
and it's going to be returning onto the air August
twenty eighth after a two month hiatus after Shannon Sharp left.
And so now it's going to be Richard Sherman, Keishawn Johnson,
and Michael Irving. That's the new dream team.

Speaker 4 (36:01):
Michael Irving back in the game.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
I'm so happy that those allegations were false about him
while I'm doing that Super Bowl, Yes, but I don't
know if anybody people really like that dynamic with Shannon Sharp,
So I don't know how it's gonna work out. But
those are two good choices to come behind Shannon and
probably keep.

Speaker 4 (36:16):
That brainde to go.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
You'll be watching right, not really well, Shannon's Sharp is
bringing his podcast club Shayshay, and he's bringing that to
the volume. So the digital network and podcasting hub that
was founded by Colin Cowhard's will also jointly produce new
programming with the network. And that's all after he left Undisputed.

(36:38):

gonna get the money. So I'm going back.

treacherous this music industry is, why would I just come

don't have to do.

Yeah, shout out Austin. Donnelle rawlins his mother, I wanted
to call him Donelle. His mother was like, I'm not
going to do that, so.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Going to be with you.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
She didn't know she would, she probably did. She was like,
I put that in the middle somewhere. But he turns eight.
Happy birthday, Austin. I love you.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
Why does she not want to name him Donelle? She's
don like the name.

Speaker 3 (39:24):
She wanted him to have a fair shake on paper.
Donelle is like, it's probably the most urban name you
can get.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
Okay, Donelle Jones.

Speaker 4 (39:31):
Okay, how many other don Hills do you know?

Speaker 2 (39:33):
Done rawlings?

Speaker 4 (39:34):
Those two? When you google Donielle for a while.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
This why I knew my career was starting to take
off a little bit, because normally when you do google Donelle,
Donelle Jones was the first thing that popped up. But
the last five years, I don't know Jones. People think
I'm an R and B guy, but it's been Donnielle
Rollins coming up.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
Okay, yeah, you do come up first.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
Stopped playing games with me.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
Look at all of these arrests.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
They're not arrest Those are improper attentions, but the wrong identity.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Now, I want to make sure that we talk on
some things that you have going on, because I know
you're bringing back your podcast, yes, Roland Show.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
Okay, and the reason why I'm doing it well, when
doing a pandemic, when I didn't have anything else to do,
I was very very consistent with the podcast. But once
things started freeing up in regard to people getting work back,
I wasn't giving it as much attention. But lately, like
the last six months, everywhere I go, people like when
you're gonna bring it pod back?

Speaker 2 (40:28):
I was out podcast movement in Denver and one of
your friends came up to me and said, please ask
that now, when is he bringing back his podcast?

Speaker 3 (40:35):
Yeah, because he wants to get paid and he sells ads,
and he said he was my best friend.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
Yeah, he told me. He said that it was my
best friend. And I would say, you don't look like
forty I mean Jermaine, But yeah, so he did come
up to me. So and the other thing, I want
to make.

Speaker 4 (40:49):
The name of it if so, just to get ahead
of it. I got free of him and he can
right now.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
I'll go to YouTube the Donnie Rowland Show, subscribe to it,
and I say, within the next week or so, I'm
going to start bringing on.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
New Okay, wow, that's pretty soon.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
But I found out everybody just in the podcast where
they said the most important thing.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
I told you that too. People look forward to seeing
something like my podcast comes out every Tuesday. I don't
want to talk about when you did it, because you
know which one of the show, the one that you did,
Which one did I do? The one where we found
out that you're trash.

Speaker 4 (41:22):
No, nobody never about this. No, or the one when
I almost cried.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Was that it No, that was something else. But okay,
So anyway, emotional, So anyway, aside from that, you also
have your special that's going to be that you're feeling
at the New York Comedy Festival.

Speaker 4 (41:36):
Yes, New York Con. So that's November the ninth, the twelfth.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
I'ma be performing at Cafe Cafe Rock Cafe, and that's
a hidden gym, like a lot of people don't know.
They got like a little ballroom performance area. I'm going
to be doing that and it's going to be a
taping for my special. So the tickets, I know, I'm
a little early, the tickets are going on sale. Anything
I'm excited about is that since Caroline.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Closed the comedy club out here that we ar comedies.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
But I was hurt when it went down, But the
same producers and the same people are behind that are
doing this. So this gives people in New York opportunity
not to see me at Carolinas, but close around it.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
And that's Caroline was such a really staple here as
far as a comedy club. You actually after the Pandemic
did the first show to open back Carolines.

Speaker 4 (42:24):
And I think I closed them that.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
Yeah, and then you did the last show too.

Speaker 4 (42:28):
But that that place has so much history.

Speaker 3 (42:30):
It hit everybody hard, from the people that used to work,
their management, the owners. And when they said that, I
thought it was a bad joke, right because I think
that it's been here over thirty years.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
Yeah, it's been there as far as I can remember.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
And then when I was coming up it's a black comic,
that was your first rite of passage, saying that you
really start to do stuff, going from the bar clubs
and those hard rooms that we used to do the
chipling circuit to being passed at Carolines.

Speaker 4 (42:55):
It was a big deal.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
The last time I went, I was there, Miss Jones
was there, Wendy Williams was there.

Speaker 4 (43:01):
That was a very interesting combination.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
It was quite a night. Yeah, it was quite a time.
And it made the New York Post.

Speaker 4 (43:07):
Yeah, page six.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
Yeah, paid six. I saw her the other day to Sharah.

Speaker 4 (43:11):
Yeah, just walking down the street. I just got nervous.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
So I saw her.

Speaker 4 (43:15):
I was like, what I do? I just do anything.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
I was to TMZ all the time, dammit, when you
wanted to influence.

Speaker 4 (43:21):
Sometimes TMZ is an engaging conversation.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
And the last thing I want to say is congratulations,
sit down now, Rawlings for buying a house. I was
so proud of you. Thank you to see you have
a real home too. It's not like no bachelor pad.
It's an actual like you.

Speaker 4 (43:36):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
All right. Well, we were just talking to down now
Rawlings my co host for the day, and to make
a s guy from Escape is coming up next. It's
way up with Angela yee.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
You had a way up with Angela ye. What's up?

Speaker 2 (43:50):
It's way up with Angela yee. I'm Angela yee And
done now Rawlings.

Speaker 4 (43:53):
Eddie Kane Jr.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Night like this, which my voice is back now with
you right now?

Speaker 4 (43:58):
You can all.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
That's after I drank all that coffee. I'm caffeined up.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
Rights to coffee up, let's be I'm up now too.
I flew in. I landed this morning from Denver and
then I came here.

Speaker 4 (44:09):
I landed last night.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
No you yeah, no, you landed this morning. I was
up this morning. But it was it was well with it,
good times for everybody. And one thing we didn't talk
about was your acting that you've been doing, because what's
the show about the Lakers?

Speaker 4 (44:22):
What was it? The winning time?

Speaker 2 (44:24):
The winning time? That show is back.

Speaker 3 (44:27):
I'm not on this season I did. The last thing
I did was BMF. The funny thing about it, I'm
not a good auditioner. I hardly ever audition for anything,
and I'm not being cocky. I always say, offer only,
and I feel like, if you want to work, I mean,
if I work in the project, it's because somebody said
we want him and only him. Same thing when I
did BMF, Tashah Smith shout out to her like she's

(44:49):
like the triple threat, producer, writer and everything. She called
me one day she said, I got this role for you.
I said, what am I doing? She said, You're going
to be having sex with dead bodies?

Speaker 2 (45:00):
Yeah? What is that of the nechophilia?

Speaker 4 (45:03):
Yeah, you were free. You know you know that.

Speaker 2 (45:06):
I was an English major. I'm gonna say, help me.

Speaker 4 (45:09):
Joints, asphyxia, you know all of them, joints.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
I took Latin growing up, and when you take Latin,
you know all the etymology.

Speaker 4 (45:16):
Of words, so I know, come and say it.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
But anyway, donall that is definitely typecasting. Because on the
show BMF they were punking you like crazy. They wanted
to stand up for you. That's how bad it was.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
Just the funny thing about that. The guy Eric Kofeh
plays Lamar, the deranged character. He's a method actor. I'm
not even I'm up.

Speaker 2 (45:37):
Like messing up in real life.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
No, he was coming to work six o'clock in the
morning ready to kill people. I'm like, we're just trying
to get coffee, bro, Yeah he was. He was serious
about it. But it went from one episode season one
to four episodes and then Randy Huggins was a big
fan of mine. He just kept adding and stuff to
it and fifty cent. I appreciate the opportunity they gave me.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
I'm saying off is only all right. Well when we
come back, thank you, Donelle. Tamika Scott from Escape is
going to be joining us, and she's got some really
interesting things to talk about. It's way up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 8 (46:12):
Yee.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
She's back at it. Bring up with Angela.

Speaker 4 (46:16):
Ye is on?

Speaker 2 (46:17):
What's up? It's way up with the Angela Yee, Angela Yee.
Jasmine from the Jasmine Brand is here, Yes, Mano is here,
and Tamika Scott is here. Hey, what's up y'all?

Speaker 4 (46:28):
Come?

Speaker 2 (46:28):
First of all, we love the song Tonight featuring method Man.

Speaker 4 (46:31):
We were just listening to it.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
Thank you. It's a fun party. I remember when you
first did the song and it first came out and
I said you she got Methama and in the video, yes, girl,
I had to. I had to listen. And we've been
watching like a lot of things that have been happening
with you lately, but what we love to see is
the positivity. First of all, thank you, first of all
to put out a song in the midst of all
this that's a hit song. Thank you. It's a huge deal.

(46:54):
You've always known that you wanted to be a solo artist, right, No,
you never wanted to.

Speaker 14 (46:58):
No, I like being in the bag. You did, like girl,
I used to kill on backgrounds growing up. I never
really thought I was the best singer out the group Escape.
I felt like, you know, everybody else had a better
voice than me. I was comfortable in my position. Okay,
so it was like stepping out was a little scary.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
But where did that come from? Though? Of you not
wanting to step out and be in the spotlight like
you are now? Like why do you think that.

Speaker 14 (47:21):
Just even growing up in our household, my sister was
groomed to sing like my father. He worked with both
of us, with both of us, but my sister was
she shot up. She had an album out at eleven,
so she was the singer. So it was instilled in
us that this is the singer. Like you go back,
you you go do backgrounds for your sister. And I
felt good being able to just back her up. So
they had even been in a group.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
You know.

Speaker 14 (47:41):
Jermaine wanted that he was in love with t Bo's sound,
so he took that sound and made Candy sing. Even
though candy register is she can go all the way high,
he made her start like just kicking it with the
low register.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
So that was her sound.

Speaker 14 (47:54):
And my sister always came in and did the gospel thing,
and you know, and then me and Tiny we was
in the background, like we came in, you know, in
and out when we were needed.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
But I mean I was comfortable.

Speaker 14 (48:03):
And then finally you said finally, yes, Finally, I was like,
let me just give this a try, you know, if
it works at work.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
If not, at least I can say I try.

Speaker 14 (48:11):
And I've been getting great response like, I'm like, Wow,
I'm glad they're accepting me, because a lot of people
they don't accept people outside of the group.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
I'm here with Jasmine Brand and may know we are
talking to to make a Scott from Escape. Yeah, that
is hard too, sometimes when you first come out and
you're part of a group and then you want to
go solo. I mean it can work, but I do
feel like people get so used to that group dynamic
and then it's always usually like not everybody can make
it that way. It'll be like one person, you know

(48:39):
that can stand.

Speaker 14 (48:40):
Out, and you know, coming off of the Queen's R
and B, I was a little I was a little stressed, okay,
and I was a lot disappointed because I felt like
they wanted to show more of the dysfunction of my
family than things that we've created outside of just escape.
Like I have my own cookbook, I have my own set,
and they showed it. Even Tiny made drinks out of

(49:02):
my book twice, one for her family, one for the group.
They never mentioned it, so I remember afterwards, I was
just like, I'm just so over this, And I was
cleaning up and I was listening to some songs I
wrote and tonight came on and it was like, hey,
no drama, come away tonight. I'm gonna celebrate And I
was like, you know what, they didn't celebrate me, but

(49:23):
I'm gonna celebrate myself. So I felt like it was
needed to put that song out to tell people we
go so much, we go hard for other people.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
But when do we celebrate ourselves?

Speaker 14 (49:32):
When do we really just take out time to say,
you know what, I accomplished something I want to if
nobody else celebrate me, I'm going to celebrate me.

Speaker 4 (49:38):
So you know what we should.

Speaker 2 (49:43):
But speaking of that, right, being on a show like
you guys did Escape and sw V, you know clearly
yes they did focus a lot on the jama. Did
any of that shall help you resolve issues that maybe
had been pushed to this side before but had been
happening for years, even within your own family. If forces
you to confront those things, everybody's winging in on it,

(50:03):
and then maybe hopefully the best case scenario is a resolution. Yeah,
it did.

Speaker 14 (50:07):
It just amplified a lot of things that were hitting
you know, and family. We like to push things under
the rug, and you can't keep putting a band aid
on it because the band gonna come off and then
all hell is gonna break loose, which happened on test.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
It did. Yeah, it was.

Speaker 14 (50:20):
It was crazy, it was but you know, family, we fight,
we fuzzed, but at the end of the day we
always get come back together because we're family.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
Has there been a resolution? We're working towards it now,
that's good. Yeah. How is it for your kids to
watch you too? Oh my gosh, that's going on?

Speaker 14 (50:35):
Oh my gosh. I love my babies. I have three
beautiful daughters. One of them is a rapper, right, yeah,
like young Nayah, she's twenty she was twenty four with
everybody thinks she's nineteen because she's so she looks young.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
Yea slightly. She's a real lyricist, I'm telling you.

Speaker 14 (50:52):
And I'm not just saying that. Yeah, and I'm not
just saying that because that's my child. Because my other
one thought she could sing and I was like, baby,
but that's not your guilt. Well, I'm gonna be honest
with you that it's not your gifts. So I put
her in dance. That wasn't her gift for you.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
Look, Oh my god.

Speaker 14 (51:07):
So we're still looking to figure out what that gift
is we're gonna keep trying to figure it outunt honest
with you, because the world gonna tell you there's.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
A lot of pressure with you and her mom and
stuff like that. It is. It's a lot of pressure,
it is. So let me ask you about your mental
state of mind while you were feeling to other because
I know reality TV can really be difficult, right. It's
a lot of trying to pack in a whole storyline
and then people see what they see when they watch it.
Some people may disagree with you. You may feel like
that wasn't portrayed the right way. There was a lot

(51:37):
of people feeling like s w V and Escape was
beefing with each other. There were stories about who's gonna
headline and who doesn't deserve to be the headliner and
things like that. How did that affect you?

Speaker 14 (51:48):
I think the family issue affected me more than anything.
I was trying to stay focused on the business. I
was really excited about us coming together, putting on a
show that we've never seen before.

Speaker 2 (51:57):
Like even in the show, you can see.

Speaker 14 (51:58):
I came with all these ideas and one of my ideas,
let me just let me just say one of my
ideas I was saying sev should came out on like
a mechanical horse like in their video, and they were like, oh,
she's extra.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
She doing too much.

Speaker 14 (52:09):
And now Beyonce comes out on a horse. Yeah, and
everybody's like, oh wow. I was like, see y, I
had that idea two year ago and y'all said, I'm
too extra.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
I was trying to give them the jewels. They didn't
want it. They didn't want it, so but yeah, I
mean it.

Speaker 14 (52:22):
The family, My family took precedence over everything else, and
I was I was stressed when the.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
First episode came out.

Speaker 7 (52:28):
Girl.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
I stayed in the bed. I cried. My husband's he
was out of town, he wasn't even there. I cried.
My daughter didn't even go to school.

Speaker 14 (52:34):
You know, I'm a stigma about perfect attendance, but that
day she didn't go to school. I was just so
stressed just watching it, you know, seeing it and I
was like, wow, you know, this is what I've been
dealing with all my life and now is been you know,
shown on TV and I had to live it again.
Things I suppressed over the years. It was like, this
is crazy. And then I was like, why did I
do this?

Speaker 2 (52:52):
I'm here with Jasmine Brand and may know we are
talking to to meek A Scott from Escape. What did
your mom have to say about everything? From watching the conversations?
How does she feel?

Speaker 14 (53:03):
Mom still feels like she's right, she feels she still
feel like I disrespect to her. She still feels like,
my mom look at me like I am a ten
year old, and I'd be wondering, like, am I gonna
start to get my kids like that when I get older,
you know, And I'm like, I'm never gonna do that
to them.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
I want to make sure they're adults.

Speaker 14 (53:20):
I want to treat them like adults and you can
have a healthy adult relationship with your with your kids.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
But she looks at me like I'm ten, And you know,
how are you guys gonna work towards resolving that? You think? Prayer?
I'm just youbody to bring in a third party, like
for real though, you know, I think that could be
really helpful because certain things with a family, like trust,
you know, can be broken. Obviously, you and your sister,

(53:46):
you say one thing, she says another, and people are split.
But I do feel like, you know, you had a
lot of people backing you up. But I'm really yeah.

Speaker 4 (53:56):
You know, do you and your sister speak at all? Right?

Speaker 2 (53:59):
Now, it's no speaking, but you know time with hell.

Speaker 13 (54:03):
How was y'all able to film and still have that,
you know, those real life issues.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
Well, I mean I came to work.

Speaker 14 (54:09):
I came with my business hat, so I know how
to leave the personal stuff behind. So when I came
to the table, it was like, Okay, I'm just gonna
just block out the personal stuff and I'm gonna sit
here and I'm gonna talk to the girls and we're
gonna do what we came to do. And every time
I showed up, I showed up and I did.

Speaker 13 (54:26):
What I was Is it ever like spill over like
to you know, there's a lot of times when it's like,
you know, the wife husband wife husband, did it like
spill over to the husbands? Your husband wanted to like
put hands on her husband and something like that.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
No, I mean she's lying. I mean no, you know,
God is good all right to make a Scott from
Escape is here and she is definitely spelling all the tea.
It's way up at the angel year. We have more

(55:00):
with her when we come back. What's up his way
up with Angela? Yee I'm Angela Yee and Jasmine brand
is here. Mana was here. We are talking to Tamika
Scott from Escape. One of the most I think devastating
things was you having to come forward about that sex tape. Yes,
and you having to come forward and actually even like

(55:23):
reveal that. But sometimes you got to put things out
there before someone else puts it out. Yes, I did.
I had to. I did. I had to tell it.
Did that get like, are we okay there? That's never
coming out? We don't have to.

Speaker 14 (55:35):
Well, if it come out, did somebody gonna get sued? Right,
They're gonna get sued for the informational character.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
And to be clear, that was when she was in
her twenty years. Yeah, I was younger than you know.

Speaker 4 (55:44):
Young thing that that really like.

Speaker 13 (55:46):
I mean, we live in a time where it's like
we see sex saves all the time.

Speaker 14 (55:49):
But still nobody want especially I still have a challenge
in there.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
So you a guy, it's very different. You a guy, Yeah,
you probably do it. Let me tell you.

Speaker 14 (56:02):
I would tell my husband get mad when I tell
you this. When we first started dating or whatever, he
had left me in his apartment.

Speaker 2 (56:07):
He had to go out of town. So I was like, okay,
And I.

Speaker 14 (56:09):
Was looking through the closets and I saw a whole
bunch of tapes and I was like, why he got
those on the back of the shelf.

Speaker 2 (56:15):
So I took him out and I played though.

Speaker 14 (56:18):
It was him and I don't know how many girls
I just stopped counting.

Speaker 2 (56:23):
It was like girl after girl watched it. I watched
all the tapes and I sat there and she watched
all watch that watched it.

Speaker 14 (56:31):
I wanted to see who I was dating too. We
never he didn't want to do a tape with me.
After that, I was like, his death is crazy, but
he was like that Boklyn no, because I seen one
of his one of his boys, was on the tape.
I saw he had tapes. I guess his boys didn't
want to take back with them. They had tapes there.
I watched all those two so no, you didn't. I

(56:53):
watched it, but one from Brooklyn, So okay. You know
the funny thing about it when he came home talking
about He's like, yeah, you know, you know I did
that back in my past.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
Like, no, this make shirt you got on? Got his shirt?
Still got his shirt. So so we were walking down
the street.

Speaker 14 (57:09):
No, lie, one of the girls on the table walked
past us and like she did not know him.

Speaker 2 (57:14):
And I looked at him. I said, how do you
remember what she looked at? Baby? You remember? I said,
isn't that one of the chicks? He was like yeah.

Speaker 14 (57:21):
I was like, how she gonna like she don't know you.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
You may be a little psychotac because it would have
been different than walk them the middle and had different energies.

Speaker 4 (57:31):
You wouldn't have liked that.

Speaker 2 (57:32):
Yeah, you're right, so I'm glad. Yeah it was. But
did that affect your relationship because that happened before me? Okay, yeah,
but watch that watching all of them.

Speaker 4 (57:46):
You know, he didn't.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
Turn me on.

Speaker 14 (57:51):
They didn't turn me on. I was just like okay.
And then I saw one now no lie one. He
had one girl up in the air. I was like,
you got to do that to me?

Speaker 2 (57:59):
He he picked up in the air. I was like,

two ninety two fifty one fifty is a number. If
you have any questions, call us up. It's way up
at Angela Yee.

Speaker 5 (59:45):
Since whether it's relationship for career advice, Angela's dropping facts.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
This is ask Kee.

Speaker 4 (59:51):
What's up?

Speaker 2 (59:52):
Its way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee and
don now Rawlings, one of my besties is here with me. Yeah,
I like you're coming back. Okay, your voice is coming back,
she probably did not say in my career right. Okay,
all right, Well it's time to ask Yee and we
have a Leo on the line. What's that Leo?

Speaker 8 (01:00:12):
Hey, how you doing?

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
I'm good? Thank you? You have a question for ask Ye.

Speaker 8 (01:00:16):
I do so I just want to know how can
I get my girlfriend's family to really see me for
who I am. You know, I'm like a six foot
three Puerto Rican guy. I got, you know, my mom's
name and a couple other taste tattoos on. But I'm
a sweet god. So my girlfriend she has a disability
and she can't walk. We're like twenty two years old.
So instead of seeing me for who I am, you know,

(01:00:37):
picking her up, carrying her everywhere, that's not you know, accessible,
they just judge me for what I look like. And
it's really been a struggle for the last year and
a half. I feel like it's kind of going on
the outs because she loves her family doesn't want to
give them up. But at the same time, it's just like, hey,
look I'm here and real love. You know, you can't
put a price on it. So we were going to
do baby lockdown or go.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
And they're also probably concerned for her, you know, being
like you said, she can't walk, so I'm sure she
relies on you for certain things and they don't want
to see her get heartbroken for whatever reason. Maybe they're
protective over her. But I can understand your side of
things because you are giving it to all. You really
love her and you're trying to prove it to them.
Her family is important to her, and at the same time,

(01:01:23):
the relationship is between you and her, and it's really
difficult when other people come in between you guys. Right done.

Speaker 4 (01:01:29):
Yeah, but I think the first thing you need to
do is put some bass in your voice.

Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
Oh my god, No, I'm just saying, when you talk
to this family, don't let them just step over you
like that. And you got to keep it real with it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
You have to intimidate her family.

Speaker 4 (01:01:41):
Yeah, I mean, if.

Speaker 8 (01:01:41):
They exactly that's exactly what it is.

Speaker 4 (01:01:44):
Yo.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
Man, you got rock your tattoos, and it is what
it is. And I would tell them else who else going?
If you there and you're taking care of this woman
that's in the wheelchair whatever, If they can't respect you
for what it takes to do that, then maybe you
don't want to be a part of their families.

Speaker 8 (01:01:59):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
I loved her about love. That an't gonna last, man, Leo,
don't listen.

Speaker 4 (01:02:03):
I mean it might last, but I mean you gotta.

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
Put anybody in her family that likes you.

Speaker 8 (01:02:09):
She's now nowadays probably not. They all got into each
other's ears. They kind of whisper down the lane type
of thing. So I'm like, I'm bandished from the property.
My name can't even be spoken in the house. Honestly,
I'm like, it's bad.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
And what does she say to them? Because it is
her family, right and if they listen to anybody, it
should be her.

Speaker 8 (01:02:26):
She's the baby out of all of them. She's an
identical twin sister who's in the scooter as well, but
she's like the youngest, and they baby her a little
bit too much, in my opinion, so they kind of
walk on her too. So they got the wrong one though,
so maybe they think who she's but they can walk on.
But I've never been that person, even with my own family.
So that's why when I stand up and kind of
put them in their place, I got banned from the property.

(01:02:49):
So like you said, put basing your voice, put my voice,
got called gangster and kicked out.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Oh my gosh, Well and listen, I canna believe it's
important to right because you feel like there's some things
you could have done differently.

Speaker 6 (01:03:03):
For sure.

Speaker 8 (01:03:04):
The whole relationship, I own my wrongdoings and her wrongdoings.
I always took I always take the blame for everybody
around me, but then they get comfortable with putting it
on me and making it all my fault when in
all reality, I'm just being nice.

Speaker 4 (01:03:15):
So stop being nice.

Speaker 3 (01:03:17):
Let lets your tattoos represent who you are. Stop trying
to be nice. Nice guy's finished, least some people try you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
All, like I say is focus on your on your
relationship with your woman and eventually, you know, only time
I think proves things to people. And so right now
they're concerned and it's going to take time for you
to prove what you need. To be patient and but
also look, if you can't go there, then when she goes,
you just can't be there. But in the meantime, just
handle your relationship and don't let other people into that sphere.

Speaker 8 (01:03:47):
For sure, I appreciate.

Speaker 2 (01:03:49):
You, do you appreciate that? Now, Bro's a.

Speaker 8 (01:03:52):
Little rough I've seen who came from that.

Speaker 4 (01:03:53):
That's your problem right now, that's your problem. Stop being bro.
You damn what you do?

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
Bro?

Speaker 4 (01:04:01):
All right, so just don't get a BBL.

Speaker 2 (01:04:02):
You'll be all right, Thank you, Leo, I'm all right,
have a good marrid. All right, Well that was asked, ye, yes,
