Ray actually has partnered with Color Creative and TALITHA Watkins
production and management and production company. They've teamed up with
to B and they're gonna be actually doing a lot
of things for people who are creatives and filmmakers and
first time filmmakers from non traditional backgrounds to help them
create large scale film projects with the help and guidance
(02:33):
of the Color Creative Team. So applicants can actually apply
straight from their phone. And that's yeah, that's amazing because
you know how hard it is to get movies made
and not have the support behind you. And so I
feel like Easter Ray has been doing this work as
far as trying to make sure that she supports up
and coming creatives that can use it.
Speaker 4 (02:51):

Speaker 10 (04:37):
Hosting today from the service. I am so happy to

Speaker 3 (04:40):
We're happy to have you amazing too. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Now let's get into this Diddy stuff because this is
a lot going on this morning. So Diddy, as we
all know, issued a statement over the weekend apologizing for
what happened with Cassie.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
But everybody is.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Like, what a week ass apology that this was. Basically,
there's saying he apologized because he got caught, all right,
and previously he was saying he did nothing wrong, even
when he ended up settling.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
That's what the problem is that lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
So back then you did nothing wrong. But now that
this video footage has leaked, all of a sudden.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
You're sorry.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
He's sorry that we saw it. Yeah, he's sorry that
we saw it. And the way that this got leaked,
it feels like during the house raid, these were takes.
That's what it feels like, that's what it feels like
because this was footage that was sold to him, and
this is in Cassie's paperwork that was sold by the
hotel surveillance video footage, and it is awful and horrifying
to watch him in the hallway of a hotel wearing
(05:35):
a towel beating her. Who knows what happened behind closed doors.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
It feels like the fans gave it to c and
then though, all.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Right, well here is what did he had to say?
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I was the I mean, I had.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Rock bottom, but I made no excuses. My behavior on
that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility from my
ashes in that video.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I was disgusted then when I did it.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I'm disgusting now when and I sought our professional help
how to go into therapy or going to rehab. Had
to ask God for his mercy and grace. But I'm
committed to be a better mansin every day. I'm not
asking for forgiveness. I'm truly sorry.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
People also feel like he's in value with Russell Simmons.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
He was in rehab.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I don't know anything about this therapy he speaks we had.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Maybe he did therapy because you can do therapy.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And well, if he did therapy, he still was denying it.
Yes he was, And so that's what I'm saying, a
lot of people would be like, oh, I'm in therapy,
ar I did therapy to excuse previously.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
If he would have.
Speaker 11 (06:33):
Said early on, look, man, I did some stuff that
that I'm not proud of, proud of, you know, in
my relationship.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Then I would believe this apology. Yeah, it would be
a softer blow and I'm apologizing that just gotten fun
that he actually was feeling some type of remorse. A
lot of people don't believe that. And as far as
him being charged with anything, the LAPD can't charge him
because this occurred in twenty sixteen, So if that conduct
(07:00):
was depicted at that time, they said, we would be
unable to charge as the conduct would have occurred beyond
the timeline where a crime of assault can be prosecuted.
But they're saying, anybody who has more information please come forward,
and they're encouraging that.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I think that there's going to be more stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Oh, they got they raided that house and they were
looking for things, and they knew there were things there.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
He sally got rid of at evidence I believe.
Speaker 11 (07:21):
I believe they're definitely they're definitely going to shaft something.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Another thing that I saw was Tiffany Red and she
is the person that was close to Cassie that has
talked about witnessing incidents with Puff and things on her
birthday and seeing how violent aggressive he was toward her,
and she was on CNN talking about Cassie confiding to
her about this incident.
Speaker 12 (07:43):
Cassie confided in me about this incident when I was
working with her around this time, around twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Their relationship was.
Speaker 12 (07:54):
Volatile for sure, like you could tell that she was
afraid of him, But.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Another she did and we'll talk about this later.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
She went live and people were asking her questions and
they're like, why didn't you do something at the time,
and she really explained how impossible it was. She was like,
this is a person who was indicted for shooting someone
in a nightclub and got off. And then she talked
about other incidents and we're going to play that for
you later where she discusses him hanging somebody off the
balcony upside down for standing up for Cassie, and we'll
(08:24):
discuss all of that in the meantime. About last night
is next eight hundred two nine fifty one fifty we'll
discuss what we did last night. I feel like a
lot of y'all were watching the playoffs last night. Yeah,
all right, it's way up night night.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
So about last night, Yes, I went down.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
It's way up. I'm Angela. You on a Monday and
maynos in a building.
Speaker 13 (08:50):

Maguire guest hosting for the first time. Yes, I am
so happy. And your birthday's coming up. It's Thursday, Okay,
feeling good.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I feel amazing. So what was your night like last night?
Speaker 10 (09:01):
So last night we had some family time at the
family home here in New York, Okay, and the kids
were in the pool and barbecue, and my friends and
family from Philly came up, and a few friends from
uh that live here in New York. You were invited,
but I'm working on how working on your house? So
I understand.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
But I'm here with you today, Yes you are, and
in Dallas over the weekend, we'll be together possible. So
my cousin Anissa, Happy birthday to her.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Her birthday is today.
Speaker 10 (09:28):
We are actually born three days apart, and we've been
together our whole lives, so we celebrated her yesterday, we
celebrated life. We enjoyed some family time. You know, I
love to cook, so I cooked to everybody.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
That is so nice to have someplace where you could
be at home celebrating, because sometimes right about now is
reading about like the economy and how less people aren't
going out like they used to, and so being at home,
I feel like that's a real la thing, too late something.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
And for the amount of money that.
Speaker 10 (09:52):
We spent on groceries, that was just like me and
one of my girls going to lunch like me, and
you went to a nice caul Right now, we spent
that on grocery and I've had about twenty people. That's
so much better if you can do that. And I
spent a few hours cooking, and it was like therapeut.
You know, I love to just well, you can come
over at any time. I can't wait to come cause
though it yeah to.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
All right.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Well, over the weekend, I actually hosted an event in
Queens at New York City Care. It's an adult daycare center,
but it's black owned and there's not a lot of
black owned senior centers, and so it was a beautiful
like black party. There were all black vendors that were there, music, everything,
So it was a beautiful experience. Shout out to everybody
that was there that came out and just to see that,
(10:49):
because you got to think about, like, what are you.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Going to do for your family members.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
It's a blessing to be able to make it uh
to be a senior, and so you want to make

Speaker 2 (11:11):
This week, all rightes new may No, All right, but
when we come back, we want to discuss you know,
the ditty was huge over the weekend, and one person
who is speaking out and has been speaking at is
Cassie's friend Tiffany Red.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Here's what she had to say.
Speaker 12 (11:28):
We have a friend who was hung from Cassie's balcony
because this person was there for her. So miss me
with the what would you? Why didn't you? What didn't
what did y'all do? Then you don't know? For trust
and believe the people who have tried to protect Cassie
have paid for it, all right.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
We want to see what your thoughts are about feeling
powers powerless. A lot of people like why didn't somebody
say something? Why didn't somebody do something? But you know,
she brought up a lot of good points and we'll
play some more of this audio too, about why she
felt powerless against somebody who had so much money, so
much power, you know, and and felt like she couldn't
do anything. Eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty
Have you ever felt powerless? Instead of telling us a secret,
(12:06):
we want to hear your stories about feeling like I
wish I could do something, but I don't know what's
gonna happen to me, or if it's gonna matter. Eight
hundred two nine two fifty one fifty.
Speaker 6 (12:15):
Yeah, what's hey? You want to know my name way
up with angela Ye, turn me on.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
It's way up by Angela Yegg Maguire's here, Hi, Mayno's here.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
No mag needs a drop.
Speaker 10 (12:28):
Yeah, yeah, we gotta get We have to get me
one for one of dj TG crazy.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Oh my god. All right, well let's talk about this.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
We've been talking about Cassie and did the's quote unquote
apology because I know right now and to me, he
should have just kept quiet. All right, But anyway, that's
neither here nor there. I want to talk about times
when you felt powerless. I saw Tiffany Red, who is
a friend of Cassie's that has spoken now. She's in
the paperwork and she talks about feeling you know, people
(12:56):
were like, why didn't you say something sooner? Here's what
she had to say.
Speaker 12 (12:59):
A world famous, influential billionaire who has more resources to
shut you down than anyone. We have a friend who
was hung from Cassie's balcony because this person was there
for her. So miss me with the what would you?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Why didn't you didn't?
Speaker 4 (13:15):
What did y'all do?
Speaker 14 (13:16):
Then?
Speaker 3 (13:16):
You don't know?
Speaker 12 (13:17):
For trust and believe the people who have tried to
protect Cassie have paid for it.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Okay, Well, we were asking, have you ever felt like
you were in a situation where you couldn't do anything
and you felt powerless?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Man, No, we'll start with you.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Uh, I don't.
Speaker 11 (13:32):
I don't recall being in a situation. The only thing
I could probably think about is being in prison, being
powerless in prison, not being able to control your life,
your destiny, having been told what to do, when to eat,
when to sleep. So that's that's probably what I can
come up with.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
And that's a real thing because even if they do
something that they shouldn't, you can't really do anything about
it because if you speak out, you'll get treated or.
Speaker 11 (13:56):
I've been beat by prison God's and there's nothing you
could do a different case. Yeah, so you know what,
I can relate to that. And I never said nothing
about it, because what can you say, right, I never
said nothing about it. You think like, oh, man, I'm
gonna write somebody.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
People would be like if that was me, I would Yeah,
there's no rebellion going on.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
I took that.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Okay, what about you, Gigi? Have you ever felt like
you were in a situation and couldn't say anything?
Speaker 10 (14:19):
Absolutely, I've been a victim of domestic violence, on more
than one occasion and more than one relationship, shall I say,
And there was a time when I just felt like
what can I do? You know, not even really say,
but what can I do? Because it wasn't really a secret,
but it was actually my friends who told me that
if you don't get away from this man, he's gonna
(14:40):
end up killing you. And I ended up moving to
Atlanta from Philly to get away from that that person. Well,
thank god for your friends, because sometimes you isolate yourself
from your friends in a situation.
Speaker 15 (14:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Absolutely, I think that sometimes, especially in this industry that
we're in, Uh, there's people who have power and if
you speak out against them, you could potentially lose your job.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
People won't believe you. There's nothing you could really do
about it.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
When people are in positions where you know they have
authority and things.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
That they could do or position of power.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
And they'll try to squash you and end your career
if you do anything. And so sometimes you have to
be like, all right, I got to just play my
cards right. And we see a lot of people coming
forward talking about things they've had to deal with in
the workplace, but later on when they feel like they
have got to a certain point, or there's a group
of people that are coming forward, and now I feel
emboldened to be able.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
To say something.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
It's hard, all right, Well, we want to see what
you guys have to say. Eight hundred two nine two
fifty one fifty. This Cala wants to remain anonymous. Hi,
how are you want to go?
Speaker 16 (15:40):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I'm good, Thank you. It's me djm Mano. And we're wondering.
Has there been a time that you felt like you
were powerless?
Speaker 16 (15:47):
Yes, there has been a time actually maybe two years
ago where at the workplace. I'm not going to say
any names, but I will say that my boss was
the one who will make secret passes at me, or
he'll want me to stay longer at the office when
I didn't, you know, need to, and he'll try me
a couple of times. But it got to the point
where he would even held me back from promotion or
(16:10):
trying to get you know, a raig.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Just it was just horrible.
Speaker 16 (16:14):
And he'll use his power over me so I can
stay where I need to stay because I have to
go through him so in order to you know, level up.
So it took me to the point where I have
to literally get up and move to go really chase
my dreams.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
And I'm so happy I got out of that.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I'm so sorry because you know, it's awful when people
are like, why didn't you say something?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Why didn't you do something?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
But like you said, he was preventing you from getting
a promotion, even so.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
You eventually just had to move away.
Speaker 16 (16:39):
Yeah, yeah, it was kind of better for me to
move away. I didn't even like the area I was in,
so I felt like it was a sign where I
need to get out.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Well, I'm glad you did.
Speaker 11 (16:49):
You didn't have nobody, like a like a brother or
uncle to come up there and whip his ass.
Speaker 16 (16:54):
Of course I did. But I just know if they
get a help to it, it's over right.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I imagine now that end up going to jail, and
then you feel terrible that you call people to come
do something. You know, Well, thank you, thank you for calling.
Speaker 16 (17:08):
Thank you.
Speaker 14 (17:08):
Bye.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
All right, we have Cassie on the line.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Ironically enough, Cassie, Hey, we're with that Mano and Gigi.
We want to know about have you ever felt powerless?
Speaker 8 (17:19):
Yes, I have had friends that go go back.
Speaker 15 (17:22):
It's in a futive relationships and it's like it's out
of nine ends. I have a family to think about,
you know what I mean. So I definitely get what
Tissany is talking about.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Okay, so at the end of the day, you have
to think about sol.
Speaker 15 (17:32):
Nobody else is going to think of our show beside choke.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
All right, Well, thank you Cassie for calling.
Speaker 15 (17:37):
All right, thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
All Right, Well, listen, we got a lot more to
talk about this morning. But you know what, when we
come back, let's talk about meg this Stallion. She has
another business that she's launching, and I'm interested to try
this one.

It's way up.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
She's about to blow the lid ab off this pot.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
So, Meghan the Stallion has announced the launch of her
own tequila. The body of the body of the bottle
looks amazing, by the way, if y'all have had a
chance to see it. But she said it's going to
be dropping soon. So I'm excited for that because I'm
a tequila drinker.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Yeah, we saw a mine.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yeah we know so yes, all right, now let's get
back into some more Diddy news. Mayor Eric Adams is
talking about revoking the key to the city that didd
he has. Yeah, they've never done this before. Here's what
he had to say.
Speaker 17 (18:38):
We've never recent it a key before, but we are
now sitting down to see what the next steps forward
are going to be.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
So you are considering it.
Speaker 17 (18:45):
We are taking everything under analysis, and the team will
come back with me with the final determination.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Damn, that's crazy. If he got to come back and
help yack. Yeah, change a lot to drop that key back,
leave it at.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
The desk, all right, and also put out a statement
that they are deeply saddened and disturbed by the recent
video circulating of our former chairman Sean Dinny Combs. Even
with his recent separation from Revolte, it is still our
duty to address this matter and recognize the direct impact
it has on our staff, our audience, and the culture
we represent. So they want to stand in solidarity. They
also want to make sure y'all know former.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Exactly I felt. That's what I got out of it,
and they was letting y'all know that he not here
no more. Please don't don't not get it twisted. We
by ourselves right now.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
He is no longer a part of this organization, all right.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
And Diddy's former assistant was also on CNN, which is
where that footage of him brutally beating Cassie first surfaced.
And here is what she had to say about everything
that's happening. Her name is Susie Siegel, and she was
Diddy's assistant while he was dating Cassie.
Speaker 13 (19:45):
I observed nothing I wrote in the alemos with them.
I went to parties with them. I guess what I
would say is, even though I never saw anything that
could corroborate with in that lawsuit and what we just saw,
there was not one cell in my body that was
surpri Yes, So.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
She didn't see anything, but she wasn't surprised, all right,
He's surprised though, like I'm not surprised to hear it.
I mean it was They were definitely people who were like,
all right, let's not rush adjustment.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
She got her payout, is why didn't she leave?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
If that was the case she was, you know, and
then they saw this and everybody I felt like was backtracking.
Now Arbury, who has from day one been saying that
Diddy was an awful human being, said Diddy did not
apologize to Cassie. He apologized to the world for seeing
what he did. He says he's disgusted with himself now
and he was disgusted with himself then, but apparently he
(20:34):
wasn't disgusted enough with himself to not pin this statement out,
calling her a liar and denying.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
All of it.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Leave God and Mercy out of this. They aren't present
here and you know it.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Wow, all right?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
And in some good news, Juvenile has announced a new
Hot Boys album with Lil Wayne, Beji and Turk and
they'll be there first in over two decades.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
So people are really excited for this How Boys. He
is back together, man, what's you talking about?
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Put the How Boys back together? And we already started working.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
On the Hot Boys that now hot. Can you get
some school for us? Gg Oh my god. I can't
wait to hear this.
Speaker 10 (21:06):
So they're actually doing a Birdman and Friends presents thirty
years of Cash Money Millionaires celebration this year at the
Essence Festival in New Orleans.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Where you'll go, I.
Speaker 10 (21:16):
Will actually be doing my very first red carpet interviews
correspondent for our podcast Lip Service.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yes, indeed, I'm so excited about that.
Speaker 10 (21:25):
But I am a cash money millionaire fan, Honey, I
can't and you know what in that beat jobs, but
none of the two thousand, I can't wait for this one.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
So I'm very excited and I'm very excited to hear
this new music as well.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
All right, well good, I'd love to see it. And
then that was your Yet when we come back, we
have under the radar. These are the stories that are
not necessarily in the headlines.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
They are flying under the radar. It's way up news.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
This in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
All right, it's way up by Angela. Yegg's here, hello,
and maynos in the building.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
No, man, you got to get you a drop.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
I know we're gonna work on it a money.
Speaker 10 (22:05):
Well, we love Gg crazy because I really I releast
I can admit that, I'm I'm somewhat well.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yeah, I'm gonna tell you how I knew she was
crazy because I told her this story we're about to do,
and she her mouth dropped open. Okay, but anyway, it's
about a daycare owner and three of her employees. They
turned themselves in on child engagement charges in New Hampton.
Investigators said they were sprinkling melatonin on the children's food
and the daycare, so all four of them were charged
with ten counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
(22:32):
An investigation was actually initiated back in twenty twenty three
after detectives received a report alleging unsafe practices going on
in an in home daycare. So please have not detailed
the course of action yet, but you know that melatonin
will make those kids sleep.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
They was trying to knock them babies out.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Knock babies out.
Speaker 10 (22:50):
Think about what our parents used to do, though, So
let me tell y'all, as a young mother, when I
wanted to go outside, my sister would only agree to
watch my daughter at night when she went to sleep.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
So drive was my melatone baby.
Speaker 10 (23:02):
Couple drops in a hot tea bottle and a warm
tea bottle put their baby right to sleep. But you
don't do that for nobody else's kids. Okay, you put
your own kids sleep. People paying you to wash their
kids and you put them to sleep with the melatonin.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
They need to be prosecuted.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah, so, yeah, you can't just give kids things like
you know what I'm saying, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Imagine how the parents.
Speaker 10 (23:21):
Felt Melitone and coming gummies for children. So they was like, here,
take a gummy. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
All right, well, Target is also lowering the prices on
five thousand frequently bought items, so that's gonna affect grocery
and household staples. Nice to hear price cuts instead of
raising the prices a lot more of a rare story.
So they said, that's going to happen to stay competitive
amid signs that customers are experiencing price.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Fatigue, and yes we are.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
So the rate of annual inflation is stuck above three percent.
A lot of things are happening, and so people are
trying to make their budget. I was reading about ways
that people are cutting their budgets right now. So paper, towels, diapers, milk, breadfruit, vegetables, meat,
all of those things.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
People are concerned about those. All right.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
That is you're under the radar now. And when we
come back, we got your way up mix at the
top of the hour. Plus we have a special guest
joining us. She's now in Autha Natasha s Alfred. Her
memoir is out American Negra. But you see her on CNN.
You know she is one of the digital editors. She
is the digital editor at the Grio. But she's been
in this business for quite some time and she is
amazing and brilliant and you're gonna love her.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
It's way up.
Speaker 16 (24:30):
She's like the Talt like they Angela Jean, like they
angela jee Man.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
She's spilling it all. This is yeaty way up.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
It's way up.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I'm angela yee manos here no mana yeah. Gji maguire
is our guest house. Happy Monday, Happy Monday. And let's
get into some yet.
Speaker 9 (24:49):
Now.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Eminem's oldest daughter, Harley Jay Scott, got married to her fiance,
Eva McClintock over the weekend. They got married on Saturday
in Battle Creek, Michigan, and it was at a place
called Green Crest, Green Crest, Manner. So it looks like
a beautiful thing he did do to first dance with her,
So shout out to them. Congratulations. All right, And speaking
(25:10):
of Eminem, let's talk about fifty cent now. He is
threatening to sue Suntory Global Spirits with congressional action. There's
a six million dollar lawsuit that's happening. I guess they
changed their name. So previously I think it was like Suntory,
it was Sunory Beam. Yes, it was called Beam Sunstery,
(25:33):
and now they're Sentory Global Spirits. So he's like, you know,
you can't go ahead and change your name and think
that's gonna fix the problem, and you have to correct
what was done to my brand. I attempted to resolve
the matter, not once, but twice. Now the legal process
will play out publicly for everyone to see what really
happened and how Sunory Global Spirits would rather spend millions
to protect and conceal criminal conduct instead of doing the
(25:54):
right thing.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
So we shall see one thing Faithy gonna do is
sue somebody. That's right. He got them on deck.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Okay, so they were trying to go to mediation and
then I guess, yeah, things didn't happen. But it was
an embezzment scheme, like we said, that involved about six
million dollars in unpaid invoices. All right, now, let's discuss
uh Colin Joe's joke swap with Michael chau. He was
laughing so hard he could barely read the joke on
(26:23):
SNL and here's what that sounded like, because he would
had to come at Kendrick Lamar.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
I want to call up the biggest Kendrick Lamar. What
should I say, littlest O.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
Your war with Drake maybe over, but your war with
Michael just beginning.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
So they have to read each other's jokes.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
So hopefully Kendrick Lamar goes in on him because that
would be really funny.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Wow, if they do something like that.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Now, I want to talk about this docu series that
I was watching over the weekend on Ashley Madison Dean,
did anybody watch us?
Speaker 4 (27:00):
What is that about?
Speaker 10 (27:02):
So?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Ashley Madison was a website that was yes for married
people to cheat, to cheat, and it was told they
were told that their information would be kept confidential, but
unfortunately there was a breach and somebody, uh cyber attacked
them and you know people I guess are still using
the surface. So they said it's actually boosting membership, especially
(27:24):
from famous people. Yeah, thanks to the doc Cheating Actually Madison, Sex,
Lies and Scandal. It's number one on Netflix. It was
a dating site for married people. Their tagline life is short,
have an affair.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Nice, you like that, like that.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
But now they have three hundred and sixty five thousand
new users per month, and they also have celebrity involvement.
But just to imagine how devastating this is for these
guys that were cheating and using this website to cheat
and thought that they would be protected.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
You have to be in a relationship to go on you.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Most of them are married.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yeah, you know, it gets people. I guess they was
supposed to feel safer cheating using this website knowing that
you're married. There was one woman on there that was cheating.
She did not care. When I tell you, she gave
zero f's. I mean, you got to watch it.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
I am so interested in this document.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
This document in the website.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
You want to log in, I just I just want
to see.
Speaker 2 (28:24):

that she is battling an ongoing health crisis and she's

Speaker 2 (31:24):
And when we come back, ask Yee with the award
winning advice giver whose eyes were open at birth?
Speaker 4 (31:31):
You know me, GJ.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Maguires, you ask Yee when we come back eight hundred
nine fifty one fifty whether.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
It's relationship for career advice? Angela's dropping facts?
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Should you should know? This is ask gee?
Speaker 3 (31:42):
What's up? His way up?
Speaker 2 (31:43):
But Angela Yee, I'm Angela Yee. Gigi's here and the
award winning advice giver Mano is here winning, and it's
time for ask ye. And we have Tasha on the
line with Tasha. Hi, hey girl, what's your question for us?
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Okay?
Speaker 14 (31:57):
So at my god, I'm and someone he's a supervisor
and his ex fiance works her as well. He was
my supervisor for a while it was an issue. Now
he's going to be my supervisor again, and I just
don't know how to go forward because we really can't
(32:18):
be out with it here at work because it will
cause problems. Okay, now I'm starting to fill away.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Okay, so he is your supervisor, but his ex fiance
works there.
Speaker 14 (32:30):
She does?
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Does she know about y'all?
Speaker 4 (32:32):
No? No, wonder, So what's really the problem?
Speaker 11 (32:36):
That's the ex fiance and you you already know y'all
can't be out with it, but y'all can be in
with it.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Are you friends with her?
Speaker 14 (32:42):
I'm not okay?
Speaker 4 (32:44):
How does I mean? I don't know her.
Speaker 14 (32:46):
I'm cordial, but I don't really know her to have
any loyalty to her.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
What's really the problem?
Speaker 14 (32:55):
Well, the problem is he wants to be more out
and so do I. HM, but it just feels like
it might be wrong or it's going to cause problem.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
I think take your time as far as being out,
because what if y'all come out with this and then
break up anyway?
Speaker 3 (33:12):
You know what I mean? Make sure it's real before
you do that.
Speaker 10 (33:14):
And is there some type of rule within the workspace
that you guys can't date?
Speaker 14 (33:19):
Well? The thing is he can't be my supervisor.
Speaker 6 (33:22):
I don't think.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
You can't.
Speaker 11 (33:27):
So you can't go out with You can't come out
with it and be like flirty or showing.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Unless a new job.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Is he still attracted to all his X?
Speaker 14 (33:37):
It doesn't seem like it to me, And like I
go to his house and stuff like that. She knows
where he lives. He doesn't hide my car or anything.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Are you are you attracted to his X?
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Shut up?
Speaker 10 (33:48):
They're not having at the recent you know, stop it.
I was going to ask him if the ex is
still wants to be with.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
The maybe they all can be together share.
Speaker 14 (33:57):
I don't get down like that. I feel like she
might have moved on, but I still see her five
iron people that they.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
I mean, look, that's that's a natural thing. But you're
not doing anything wrong. The only wrong thing might be,
like what Gigi said, if there's some type of rule
against that in the workplace, which is why you have
to be cautious of that. So I would leave my
personal relationship at home and my work relationship in the workspace.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
That's right, Okay, thank you, all right, good luck. I
hope it works out.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Write me a review on YO for the Advice.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Award winning.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
All right, well listen, if you guys couldn't get through
eight hundred two nine two fifty fifty, you can leave
a message. Will answer your questions that way. And when
we come back, we have Natasha as Alfred joining us.
She is a senior VP of Digital at the Grio.
She's also a contributor for CNN, and she's an author
of American Negra.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
It's a memoir that's out right now. It's way up.
Speaker 6 (34:55):
It's gonna turn me up.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Here we go upgain.
Speaker 6 (34:58):
This is way up with Angeliae.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
What's up? It's way for the Angela Yee.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
I'm Angela Yee and I am very excited to be
joined today by Natasha Alford, who is many things. But
you are a CNN political analyst but also the VP
of Digital Content and senior correspondent at the Grillo.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Yeah, and you have multiple degrees, you know, but also
an author. Let's not forget that. Yeah, I'm married Negra.
Is that? Am I saying it right?
Speaker 4 (35:24):
You're saying it right.
Speaker 7 (35:25):
Actually, I was advised when I was coming up with
this book idea like, be careful with the title. People
might be a little afraid of the title, but you
said it right, and that was the hope that people
would learn to say it and learn what it means.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
And I want you to talk about this because for me,
I'm a person who's you know, I'm half Chinese and
I'm also half West Indian, and so whenever I would
go get my hair done at the Dominican salon, I
would have to explain because they always that I was Dominican,
so I would have to say, so Echina in negra, yeah,
and let them know that because you know that I
can speak a little Spanish because I'm from New York.
Speaker 7 (35:57):
It's so relatable because a lot of us are asked
that question what are you? And I think that that
is what sent me on this journey to be like, well,
who am I?
Speaker 4 (36:05):
But also what did I.
Speaker 7 (36:07):
Need to know back then to actually love myself? To
accept myself? And it takes time, So whoever reads this
book is really going on a journey of self discovery
that I hope is relatable to a lot of people.
A lot of people come from multi ethnic families like
this is more normal in America today and will soon
be part of the majority. So I thought it was
important to talk about what it's like to live between
(36:29):
multiple cultures.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Right now, I'm talking to Natasha ask Alfred. Her book
American Negata is available right now. I think that timing wise,
this is also a great time for us to have
this conversation watching everything that just transpired with Kenjak and
Drake too. Part of that battle was Ken Jake telling
Drake you can't use the N word right because he
is half white and half black.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
I want to know what your thoughts are on that.
Speaker 7 (36:54):
Well, you know, I think it's this idea of using
blackness when it's commercially advantaged just to you. People have
an issue with that, and it's about being authentic, right,
And so I think that there are people who see
Drake sort of almost step into different cultures and sort
of assume, right, he gives you that sound one time,
(37:14):
you know, it's Afro beads and then it's Pato and
it's like, I think there's a way to do it
that pays homage. But then there's this line of are
you exploiting people? I think it's a question we're all
asking about who has the right to And you know
what's interesting, Angela, this La La Bad Bunny interview did
you see that.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
When she was on the Red carpet and she was
able to fluidly go in between oh, English and Spanish
to get a great job.
Speaker 7 (37:39):
She did, but there were some people who thought she
didn't do good enough. Right, So even though there are
all these people like, oh, look, this is an example
of an Afro Latina, this is example of diaspora, there
were people like, ah, but does she really speak Spanish? Well,
how comes she didn't you know, respond more in Spanish,
Like there's always somebody trying to keep yeah and tell
(37:59):
you that you aren't what you are. So I think
that's the flip side, the negative flip side of trying
to tell somebody who they aren't when clearly like that
is their culture.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
And I think that's part of you know, what the
book tries to.
Speaker 7 (38:12):
Do as well, is to raise the visibility of black Latinos,
and there are a lot of us out there.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
Think about it.
Speaker 7 (38:17):
We've got Cardi b An offset like, that's an example
of children who are going to grow up with different
ethnicities or cultures, and those are black children. So what
does it mean to live at that intersection and have
some people tell you, oh, well, you're not enough of
this or you're not that.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
Natasha s Alfred is here joining me.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
She's the VP of Digital Content and senior correspondent for
The Grio and a CNN political analysts and an author.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
We have more with her when we come back.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
It's way up, ye, but you're all being waiting for
Oh you're tapped in a way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Is way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee and
Natasha s Alfred is here with me. American Negra is
out right now. There were so many other things that
I had that I wanted to talk about in this book.
You know what, Let's do one of them, okay, you know,
cause you get personalized certain things that happened when you
were younger. And there was a time in high school
there was an older guy.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Oh gosh, oh yeahy hang around.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
To high school and you, being young and innocent, all right,
ended up, you know, going back to his house with him.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Thank God, nothing happened to you.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
But I was thinking about that situation, about how many
times people will blame a woman or blame a young
girl and call her fast for being in that situation.
You were a virgin, you ended up at his house.
You were scared. He was on top of you, like
and fortunately he was like, all right, this is too much,
let me just take you home and nothing happened. But
(39:42):
I just thought about how many times, as young girls,
we make decisions that we wish we wouldn't have made
and then end up in a terrible situation that could
have gone awful.
Speaker 7 (39:52):
Well, one thing is our cultures so fear based. Our
young people are afraid to tell us what's going on.
So we think we'll get punished if we ask certain
questions or talk about certain relationships that are developing. And
all you do is you just push the activity into
the quiet, right into the dark where it can't be
seen or monitored. So I believe in creating a culture
where we do talk about these things with our young people. Second,
(40:13):
I think there is this. I mean we're seeing it.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
Even with the rat beef.
Speaker 7 (40:16):
We were just talking about like how normal is it
for people to go after young girls?
Speaker 3 (40:21):
You know, that's just normal.
Speaker 7 (40:22):
We had older guys driving around the high schools all
the time, and young girls think like they're flattered by it.
They think it means oh, this means I'm smart, This
means I'm mature, and we have to put our young
girls up on game. Like, no, that's part of the game, right,
to make you think that you are special in some way,
when really, what grown man will want anything to do
with a sixteen year old seventeen year olds?
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Right?
Speaker 7 (40:44):
But I wanted to be honest about these things because
I think people just think, oh, you know Harvard, she's
on CNN. People project a lot of things, like they
assume they know what your life is, and I have
the life of it was like a regular black girl
growing up in upstate New York. Like, this is what
we were dealing with, older adult men driving by the
high school trying to pick us up.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
That is not normal.
Speaker 4 (41:05):
That is not normal.
Speaker 7 (41:07):
So I wanted to talk about that to you know,
free us up, to share the lessons we've learned and
hopefully you know what inspires somebody. I think it's a
great coming of age story, for sure, it is if
it's a young person.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
You for a long time, and I've admired all the
work that you've been doing for thank you, you know, over
a decade now.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
I want to say so thank you. You're a part
of my journey.
Speaker 7 (41:28):
I mean, you were one of the first people to
help me do a national radio interview back when I
was on the Breakfast Club. And thank you for being
somebody who opens doors for others and doesn't like close
them behind you.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
So well, hopefully we do a whole lot more together
because you know, anything you need, I'm here.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
Thank you, Sis, I appreciate it. I'm gonna be holding
you to that same same standard. Yes, absolutely, we end
it together.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
It is a critical time, so I do want to
make sure you know, as we're on this platform right now,
that you're agreened that you'll be back.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
I will be back, all right. Well, guys, make sure
you pick up this book. You are going to love it.
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
If you have you know, children, I think this is
a great book for them to read too, for the youth,
but for somebody like myself seeing your whole journey scene
where you are today, it was definitely something special to
be able to read. American Negra is out right now,

Hi, Angela, my name is Lakeisha, and I was calling
about feeling powerless. I just want to just say that
I did feel powerless when my son was murdered and
the murderer, he had a paid lawyer, twisted the whole case,
and I felt powerless because I didn't have a lawyer.
I just had the DA who was working with the lawyer.
(43:44):
And it's just when you have money or poo in
places and things, you lose out on a lot. And
I just wanted to say, yes, I feel powerless till
this day because my son's life mattered, and at that
time it didn't. Good morning, this is hi. I just
wanted to shout out doctor Jamal Bryant and nineteen Keys

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Me and Mano be on textite you, but we are
going to talk about it today. I saw a lot
of people backtracking on their statements and support of Diddy,
and you know, we'll talk about that. A lot of
people that have previously wanted to give him grace or
talked about his legacy and things like that, and now
they're like, oh, this is wrong. It took footage for
(01:21):
people to come out and say that, But we'll talk
about it in the meantime. We also have a very
special guest joining us, Natasha Alford. She is the author

Ray actually has partnered with Color Creative and TALITHA Watkins
production and management and production company. They've teamed up with
to B and they're gonna be actually doing a lot
of things for people who are creatives and filmmakers and
first time filmmakers from non traditional backgrounds to help them
create large scale film projects with the help and guidance
(02:33):
of the Color Creative Team. So applicants can actually apply
straight from their phone. And that's yeah, that's amazing because
you know how hard it is to get movies made
and not have the support behind you. And so I
feel like Easter Ray has been doing this work as
far as trying to make sure that she supports up
and coming creatives that can use it.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
So she's gonna have like budgets ready and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Absolutely, they're gonna have funding for the films, and that's
a really big step because we.

GZ knows because she got a whole movie about to
come out, a whole docu series series.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
We want to hear from you today too.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Of course, you can always leave a message to eight
hundred two nine two fifty one fifty.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
It says, in the rooms from industry shade to all
of gosp out send Angelas is feeling that yet.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
It's way up on Angela.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yee menos here no Mana and Gigi's guest co.
Speaker 10 (04:37):
Hosting today from the service. I am so happy to
be here you guys.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
We're happy to have you amazing too. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Now let's get into this Diddy stuff because this is
a lot going on this morning. So Diddy, as we
all know, issued a statement over the weekend apologizing for
what happened with Cassie.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
But everybody is.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Like, what a week ass apology that this was. Basically,
there's saying he apologized because he got caught, all right,
and previously he was saying he did nothing wrong, even
when he ended up settling.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
That's what the problem is that lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
So back then you did nothing wrong. But now that
this video footage has leaked, all of a sudden.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
You're sorry.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
He's sorry that we saw it. Yeah, he's sorry that
we saw it. And the way that this got leaked,
it feels like during the house raid, these were takes.
That's what it feels like, that's what it feels like
because this was footage that was sold to him, and
this is in Cassie's paperwork that was sold by the
hotel surveillance video footage, and it is awful and horrifying
to watch him in the hallway of a hotel wearing
(05:35):
a towel beating her. Who knows what happened behind closed doors.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
It feels like the fans gave it to c and
then though, all.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Right, well here is what did he had to say?
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I was the I mean, I had.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Rock bottom, but I made no excuses. My behavior on
that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility from my
ashes in that video.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I was disgusted then when I did it.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I'm disgusting now when and I sought our professional help
how to go into therapy or going to rehab. Had
to ask God for his mercy and grace. But I'm
committed to be a better mansin every day. I'm not
asking for forgiveness. I'm truly sorry.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
People also feel like he's in value with Russell Simmons.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
He was in rehab.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I don't know anything about this therapy he speaks we had.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Maybe he did therapy because you can do therapy.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And well, if he did therapy, he still was denying it.
Yes he was, And so that's what I'm saying, a
lot of people would be like, oh, I'm in therapy,
ar I did therapy to excuse previously.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
If he would have.
Speaker 11 (06:33):
Said early on, look, man, I did some stuff that
that I'm not proud of, proud of, you know, in
my relationship.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Then I would believe this apology. Yeah, it would be
a softer blow and I'm apologizing that just gotten fun
that he actually was feeling some type of remorse. A
lot of people don't believe that. And as far as
him being charged with anything, the LAPD can't charge him
because this occurred in twenty sixteen, So if that conduct
(07:00):
was depicted at that time, they said, we would be
unable to charge as the conduct would have occurred beyond
the timeline where a crime of assault can be prosecuted.
But they're saying, anybody who has more information please come forward,
and they're encouraging that.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I think that there's going to be more stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Oh, they got they raided that house and they were
looking for things, and they knew there were things there.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
He sally got rid of at evidence I believe.
Speaker 11 (07:21):
I believe they're definitely they're definitely going to shaft something.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Another thing that I saw was Tiffany Red and she
is the person that was close to Cassie that has
talked about witnessing incidents with Puff and things on her
birthday and seeing how violent aggressive he was toward her,
and she was on CNN talking about Cassie confiding to
her about this incident.
Speaker 12 (07:43):
Cassie confided in me about this incident when I was
working with her around this time, around twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Their relationship was.
Speaker 12 (07:54):
Volatile for sure, like you could tell that she was
afraid of him, But.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Another she did and we'll talk about this later.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
She went live and people were asking her questions and
they're like, why didn't you do something at the time,
and she really explained how impossible it was. She was like,
this is a person who was indicted for shooting someone
in a nightclub and got off. And then she talked
about other incidents and we're going to play that for
you later where she discusses him hanging somebody off the
balcony upside down for standing up for Cassie, and we'll
(08:24):
discuss all of that in the meantime. About last night
is next eight hundred two nine fifty one fifty we'll
discuss what we did last night. I feel like a
lot of y'all were watching the playoffs last night. Yeah,
all right, it's way up night night.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
So about last night, Yes, I went down.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
It's way up. I'm Angela. You on a Monday and
maynos in a building.
Speaker 13 (08:50):
GJ.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Maguire guest hosting for the first time. Yes, I am
so happy. And your birthday's coming up. It's Thursday, Okay,
feeling good.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I feel amazing. So what was your night like last night?
Speaker 10 (09:01):
So last night we had some family time at the
family home here in New York, Okay, and the kids
were in the pool and barbecue, and my friends and
family from Philly came up, and a few friends from
uh that live here in New York. You were invited,
but I'm working on how working on your house? So
I understand.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
But I'm here with you today, Yes you are, and
in Dallas over the weekend, we'll be together possible. So
my cousin Anissa, Happy birthday to her.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Her birthday is today.
Speaker 10 (09:28):
We are actually born three days apart, and we've been
together our whole lives, so we celebrated her yesterday, we
celebrated life. We enjoyed some family time. You know, I
love to cook, so I cooked to everybody.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
That is so nice to have someplace where you could
be at home celebrating, because sometimes right about now is
reading about like the economy and how less people aren't
going out like they used to, and so being at home,
I feel like that's a real la thing, too late something.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
And for the amount of money that.
Speaker 10 (09:52):
We spent on groceries, that was just like me and
one of my girls going to lunch like me, and
you went to a nice caul Right now, we spent
that on grocery and I've had about twenty people. That's
so much better if you can do that. And I
spent a few hours cooking, and it was like therapeut.
You know, I love to just well, you can come
over at any time. I can't wait to come cause
though it yeah to.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Be home, a lot of people, we don't have that privilege.

At Angel's house, right He's gonna teach us how to
make some jail mills.

I'm with that. You had some oodos and noodles and cheese.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
I'm gonna bring the real Cooks over the Real jail cooks.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
All right.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Well, over the weekend, I actually hosted an event in
Queens at New York City Care. It's an adult daycare center,
but it's black owned and there's not a lot of
black owned senior centers, and so it was a beautiful
like black party. There were all black vendors that were there, music, everything,
So it was a beautiful experience. Shout out to everybody
that was there that came out and just to see that,
(10:49):
because you got to think about, like, what are you.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Going to do for your family members.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
It's a blessing to be able to make it uh
to be a senior, and so you want to make
sure that they're taking care of that they're having a
good time. So shout out to everybody for NYC Care
for having such a great event.
Speaker 3 (11:05):

You finished. So it's miss mix and mastered and done.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
This week, all rightes new may No, All right, but
when we come back, we want to discuss you know,
the ditty was huge over the weekend, and one person
who is speaking out and has been speaking at is
Cassie's friend Tiffany Red.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Here's what she had to say.
Speaker 12 (11:28):
We have a friend who was hung from Cassie's balcony
because this person was there for her. So miss me
with the what would you? Why didn't you? What didn't
what did y'all do? Then you don't know? For trust
and believe the people who have tried to protect Cassie
have paid for it, all right.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
We want to see what your thoughts are about feeling
powers powerless. A lot of people like why didn't somebody
say something? Why didn't somebody do something? But you know,
she brought up a lot of good points and we'll
play some more of this audio too, about why she
felt powerless against somebody who had so much money, so
much power, you know, and and felt like she couldn't
do anything. Eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty
Have you ever felt powerless? Instead of telling us a secret,
(12:06):
we want to hear your stories about feeling like I
wish I could do something, but I don't know what's
gonna happen to me, or if it's gonna matter. Eight
hundred two nine two fifty one fifty.
Speaker 6 (12:15):
Yeah, what's hey? You want to know my name way
up with angela Ye, turn me on.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
It's way up by Angela Yegg Maguire's here, Hi, Mayno's here.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
No mag needs a drop.
Speaker 10 (12:28):
Yeah, yeah, we gotta get We have to get me
one for one of dj TG crazy.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Oh my god. All right, well let's talk about this.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
We've been talking about Cassie and did the's quote unquote
apology because I know right now and to me, he
should have just kept quiet. All right, But anyway, that's
neither here nor there. I want to talk about times
when you felt powerless. I saw Tiffany Red, who is
a friend of Cassie's that has spoken now. She's in
the paperwork and she talks about feeling you know, people
(12:56):
were like, why didn't you say something sooner? Here's what
she had to say.
Speaker 12 (12:59):
A world famous, influential billionaire who has more resources to
shut you down than anyone. We have a friend who
was hung from Cassie's balcony because this person was there
for her. So miss me with the what would you?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Why didn't you didn't?
Speaker 4 (13:15):
What did y'all do?
Speaker 14 (13:16):
Then?
Speaker 3 (13:16):
You don't know?
Speaker 12 (13:17):
For trust and believe the people who have tried to
protect Cassie have paid for it.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Okay, Well, we were asking, have you ever felt like
you were in a situation where you couldn't do anything
and you felt powerless?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Man, No, we'll start with you.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Uh, I don't.
Speaker 11 (13:32):
I don't recall being in a situation. The only thing
I could probably think about is being in prison, being
powerless in prison, not being able to control your life,
your destiny, having been told what to do, when to eat,
when to sleep. So that's that's probably what I can
come up with.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
And that's a real thing because even if they do
something that they shouldn't, you can't really do anything about
it because if you speak out, you'll get treated or.
Speaker 11 (13:56):
I've been beat by prison God's and there's nothing you
could do a different case. Yeah, so you know what,
I can relate to that. And I never said nothing
about it, because what can you say, right, I never
said nothing about it. You think like, oh, man, I'm
gonna write somebody.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
People would be like if that was me, I would Yeah,
there's no rebellion going on.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
I took that.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Okay, what about you, Gigi? Have you ever felt like
you were in a situation and couldn't say anything?
Speaker 10 (14:19):
Absolutely, I've been a victim of domestic violence, on more
than one occasion and more than one relationship, shall I say,
And there was a time when I just felt like
what can I do? You know, not even really say,
but what can I do? Because it wasn't really a secret,
but it was actually my friends who told me that
if you don't get away from this man, he's gonna
(14:40):
end up killing you. And I ended up moving to
Atlanta from Philly to get away from that that person. Well,
thank god for your friends, because sometimes you isolate yourself
from your friends in a situation.
Speaker 15 (14:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Absolutely, I think that sometimes, especially in this industry that
we're in, Uh, there's people who have power and if
you speak out against them, you could potentially lose your job.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
People won't believe you. There's nothing you could really do
about it.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
When people are in positions where you know they have
authority and things.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
That they could do or position of power.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
And they'll try to squash you and end your career
if you do anything. And so sometimes you have to
be like, all right, I got to just play my
cards right. And we see a lot of people coming
forward talking about things they've had to deal with in
the workplace, but later on when they feel like they
have got to a certain point, or there's a group
of people that are coming forward, and now I feel
emboldened to be able.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
To say something.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
It's hard, all right, Well, we want to see what
you guys have to say. Eight hundred two nine two
fifty one fifty. This Cala wants to remain anonymous. Hi,
how are you want to go?
Speaker 16 (15:40):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I'm good, Thank you. It's me djm Mano. And we're wondering.
Has there been a time that you felt like you
were powerless?
Speaker 16 (15:47):
Yes, there has been a time actually maybe two years
ago where at the workplace. I'm not going to say
any names, but I will say that my boss was
the one who will make secret passes at me, or
he'll want me to stay longer at the office when
I didn't, you know, need to, and he'll try me
a couple of times. But it got to the point
where he would even held me back from promotion or
(16:10):
trying to get you know, a raig.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Just it was just horrible.
Speaker 16 (16:14):
And he'll use his power over me so I can
stay where I need to stay because I have to
go through him so in order to you know, level up.
So it took me to the point where I have
to literally get up and move to go really chase
my dreams.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
And I'm so happy I got out of that.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I'm so sorry because you know, it's awful when people
are like, why didn't you say something?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Why didn't you do something?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
But like you said, he was preventing you from getting
a promotion, even so.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
You eventually just had to move away.
Speaker 16 (16:39):
Yeah, yeah, it was kind of better for me to
move away. I didn't even like the area I was in,
so I felt like it was a sign where I
need to get out.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Well, I'm glad you did.
Speaker 11 (16:49):
You didn't have nobody, like a like a brother or
uncle to come up there and whip his ass.
Speaker 16 (16:54):
Of course I did. But I just know if they
get a help to it, it's over right.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I imagine now that end up going to jail, and
then you feel terrible that you call people to come
do something. You know, Well, thank you, thank you for calling.
Speaker 16 (17:08):
Thank you.
Speaker 14 (17:08):
Bye.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
All right, we have Cassie on the line.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Ironically enough, Cassie, Hey, we're with that Mano and Gigi.
We want to know about have you ever felt powerless?
Speaker 8 (17:19):
Yes, I have had friends that go go back.
Speaker 15 (17:22):
It's in a futive relationships and it's like it's out
of nine ends. I have a family to think about,
you know what I mean. So I definitely get what
Tissany is talking about.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Okay, so at the end of the day, you have
to think about sol.
Speaker 15 (17:32):
Nobody else is going to think of our show beside choke.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
All right, Well, thank you Cassie for calling.
Speaker 15 (17:37):
All right, thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
All Right, Well, listen, we got a lot more to
talk about this morning. But you know what, when we
come back, let's talk about meg this Stallion. She has
another business that she's launching, and I'm interested to try
this one.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
It's way up.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
She's about to blow the lid ab off this pot.
Let's get it. Angela's feeling that yet, come and get
the tea.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
It's way up. I'm Angela. Ye menos here, no mane girl.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
GJ. Maguire is here. G's here. Let's get into some yet.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
So, Meghan the Stallion has announced the launch of her
own tequila. The body of the body of the bottle
looks amazing, by the way, if y'all have had a
chance to see it. But she said it's going to
be dropping soon. So I'm excited for that because I'm
a tequila drinker.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Yeah, we saw a mine.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yeah we know so yes, all right, now let's get
back into some more Diddy news. Mayor Eric Adams is
talking about revoking the key to the city that didd
he has. Yeah, they've never done this before. Here's what
he had to say.
Speaker 17 (18:38):
We've never recent it a key before, but we are
now sitting down to see what the next steps forward
are going to be.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
So you are considering it.
Speaker 17 (18:45):
We are taking everything under analysis, and the team will
come back with me with the final determination.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Damn, that's crazy. If he got to come back and
help yack. Yeah, change a lot to drop that key back,
leave it at.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
The desk, all right, and also put out a statement
that they are deeply saddened and disturbed by the recent
video circulating of our former chairman Sean Dinny Combs. Even
with his recent separation from Revolte, it is still our
duty to address this matter and recognize the direct impact
it has on our staff, our audience, and the culture
we represent. So they want to stand in solidarity. They
also want to make sure y'all know former.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Exactly I felt. That's what I got out of it,
and they was letting y'all know that he not here
no more. Please don't don't not get it twisted. We
by ourselves right now.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
He is no longer a part of this organization, all right.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
And Diddy's former assistant was also on CNN, which is
where that footage of him brutally beating Cassie first surfaced.
And here is what she had to say about everything
that's happening. Her name is Susie Siegel, and she was
Diddy's assistant while he was dating Cassie.
Speaker 13 (19:45):
I observed nothing I wrote in the alemos with them.
I went to parties with them. I guess what I
would say is, even though I never saw anything that
could corroborate with in that lawsuit and what we just saw,
there was not one cell in my body that was
surpri Yes, So.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
She didn't see anything, but she wasn't surprised, all right,
He's surprised though, like I'm not surprised to hear it.
I mean it was They were definitely people who were like,
all right, let's not rush adjustment.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
She got her payout, is why didn't she leave?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
If that was the case she was, you know, and
then they saw this and everybody I felt like was backtracking.
Now Arbury, who has from day one been saying that
Diddy was an awful human being, said Diddy did not
apologize to Cassie. He apologized to the world for seeing
what he did. He says he's disgusted with himself now
and he was disgusted with himself then, but apparently he
(20:34):
wasn't disgusted enough with himself to not pin this statement out,
calling her a liar and denying.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
All of it.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Leave God and Mercy out of this. They aren't present
here and you know it.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Wow, all right?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
And in some good news, Juvenile has announced a new
Hot Boys album with Lil Wayne, Beji and Turk and
they'll be there first in over two decades.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
So people are really excited for this How Boys. He
is back together, man, what's you talking about?
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Put the How Boys back together? And we already started working.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
On the Hot Boys that now hot. Can you get
some school for us? Gg Oh my god. I can't
wait to hear this.
Speaker 10 (21:06):
So they're actually doing a Birdman and Friends presents thirty
years of Cash Money Millionaires celebration this year at the
Essence Festival in New Orleans.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Where you'll go, I.
Speaker 10 (21:16):
Will actually be doing my very first red carpet interviews
correspondent for our podcast Lip Service.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yes, indeed, I'm so excited about that.
Speaker 10 (21:25):
But I am a cash money millionaire fan, Honey, I
can't and you know what in that beat jobs, but
none of the two thousand, I can't wait for this one.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
So I'm very excited and I'm very excited to hear
this new music as well.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
All right, well good, I'd love to see it. And
then that was your Yet when we come back, we
have under the radar. These are the stories that are
not necessarily in the headlines.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
They are flying under the radar. It's way up news.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
This in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
All right, it's way up by Angela. Yegg's here, hello,
and maynos in the building.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
No, man, you got to get you a drop.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
I know we're gonna work on it a money.
Speaker 10 (22:05):
Well, we love Gg crazy because I really I releast
I can admit that, I'm I'm somewhat well.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yeah, I'm gonna tell you how I knew she was
crazy because I told her this story we're about to do,
and she her mouth dropped open. Okay, but anyway, it's
about a daycare owner and three of her employees. They
turned themselves in on child engagement charges in New Hampton.
Investigators said they were sprinkling melatonin on the children's food
and the daycare, so all four of them were charged
with ten counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
(22:32):
An investigation was actually initiated back in twenty twenty three
after detectives received a report alleging unsafe practices going on
in an in home daycare. So please have not detailed
the course of action yet, but you know that melatonin
will make those kids sleep.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
They was trying to knock them babies out.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Knock babies out.
Speaker 10 (22:50):
Think about what our parents used to do, though, So
let me tell y'all, as a young mother, when I
wanted to go outside, my sister would only agree to
watch my daughter at night when she went to sleep.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
So drive was my melatone baby.
Speaker 10 (23:02):
Couple drops in a hot tea bottle and a warm
tea bottle put their baby right to sleep. But you
don't do that for nobody else's kids. Okay, you put
your own kids sleep. People paying you to wash their
kids and you put them to sleep with the melatonin.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
They need to be prosecuted.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah, so, yeah, you can't just give kids things like
you know what I'm saying, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Imagine how the parents.
Speaker 10 (23:21):
Felt Melitone and coming gummies for children. So they was like, here,
take a gummy. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
All right, well, Target is also lowering the prices on
five thousand frequently bought items, so that's gonna affect grocery
and household staples. Nice to hear price cuts instead of
raising the prices a lot more of a rare story.
So they said, that's going to happen to stay competitive
amid signs that customers are experiencing price.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Fatigue, and yes we are.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
So the rate of annual inflation is stuck above three percent.
A lot of things are happening, and so people are
trying to make their budget. I was reading about ways
that people are cutting their budgets right now. So paper, towels, diapers, milk, breadfruit, vegetables, meat,
all of those things.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
People are concerned about those. All right.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
That is you're under the radar now. And when we
come back, we got your way up mix at the
top of the hour. Plus we have a special guest
joining us. She's now in Autha Natasha s Alfred. Her
memoir is out American Negra. But you see her on CNN.
You know she is one of the digital editors. She
is the digital editor at the Grio. But she's been
in this business for quite some time and she is
amazing and brilliant and you're gonna love her.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
It's way up.
Speaker 16 (24:30):
She's like the Talt like they Angela Jean, like they
angela jee Man.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
She's spilling it all. This is yeaty way up.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
It's way up.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I'm angela yee manos here no mana yeah. Gji maguire
is our guest house. Happy Monday, Happy Monday. And let's
get into some yet.
Speaker 9 (24:49):
Now.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Eminem's oldest daughter, Harley Jay Scott, got married to her fiance,
Eva McClintock over the weekend. They got married on Saturday
in Battle Creek, Michigan, and it was at a place
called Green Crest, Green Crest, Manner. So it looks like
a beautiful thing he did do to first dance with her,
So shout out to them. Congratulations. All right, And speaking
(25:10):
of Eminem, let's talk about fifty cent now. He is
threatening to sue Suntory Global Spirits with congressional action. There's
a six million dollar lawsuit that's happening. I guess they
changed their name. So previously I think it was like Suntory,
it was Sunory Beam. Yes, it was called Beam Sunstery,
(25:33):
and now they're Sentory Global Spirits. So he's like, you know,
you can't go ahead and change your name and think
that's gonna fix the problem, and you have to correct
what was done to my brand. I attempted to resolve
the matter, not once, but twice. Now the legal process
will play out publicly for everyone to see what really
happened and how Sunory Global Spirits would rather spend millions
to protect and conceal criminal conduct instead of doing the
(25:54):
right thing.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
So we shall see one thing Faithy gonna do is
sue somebody. That's right. He got them on deck.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Okay, so they were trying to go to mediation and
then I guess, yeah, things didn't happen. But it was
an embezzment scheme, like we said, that involved about six
million dollars in unpaid invoices. All right, now, let's discuss
uh Colin Joe's joke swap with Michael chau. He was
laughing so hard he could barely read the joke on
(26:23):
SNL and here's what that sounded like, because he would
had to come at Kendrick Lamar.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
I want to call up the biggest Kendrick Lamar. What
should I say, littlest O.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
Your war with Drake maybe over, but your war with
Michael just beginning.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
So they have to read each other's jokes.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
So hopefully Kendrick Lamar goes in on him because that
would be really funny.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Wow, if they do something like that.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Now, I want to talk about this docu series that
I was watching over the weekend on Ashley Madison Dean,
did anybody watch us?
Speaker 4 (27:00):
What is that about?
Speaker 10 (27:02):
So?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Ashley Madison was a website that was yes for married
people to cheat, to cheat, and it was told they
were told that their information would be kept confidential, but
unfortunately there was a breach and somebody, uh cyber attacked
them and you know people I guess are still using
the surface. So they said it's actually boosting membership, especially
(27:24):
from famous people. Yeah, thanks to the doc Cheating Actually Madison, Sex,
Lies and Scandal. It's number one on Netflix. It was
a dating site for married people. Their tagline life is short,
have an affair.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Nice, you like that, like that.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
But now they have three hundred and sixty five thousand
new users per month, and they also have celebrity involvement.
But just to imagine how devastating this is for these
guys that were cheating and using this website to cheat
and thought that they would be protected.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
You have to be in a relationship to go on you.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Most of them are married.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yeah, you know, it gets people. I guess they was
supposed to feel safer cheating using this website knowing that
you're married. There was one woman on there that was cheating.
She did not care. When I tell you, she gave
zero f's. I mean, you got to watch it.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
I am so interested in this document.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
This document in the website.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
You want to log in, I just I just want
to see.
Speaker 2 (28:24):

that she is battling an ongoing health crisis and she's
canceled all of her shows.

Well that is your renovation.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
And when we come back, ask Yee with the award
winning advice giver whose eyes were open at birth?
Speaker 4 (31:31):
You know me, GJ.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Maguires, you ask Yee when we come back eight hundred
nine fifty one fifty whether.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
It's relationship for career advice? Angela's dropping facts?
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Should you should know? This is ask gee?
Speaker 3 (31:42):
What's up? His way up?
Speaker 2 (31:43):
But Angela Yee, I'm Angela Yee. Gigi's here and the
award winning advice giver Mano is here winning, and it's
time for ask ye. And we have Tasha on the
line with Tasha. Hi, hey girl, what's your question for us?
Speaker 4 (31:56):
Okay?
Speaker 14 (31:57):
So at my god, I'm and someone he's a supervisor
and his ex fiance works her as well. He was
my supervisor for a while it was an issue. Now
he's going to be my supervisor again, and I just
don't know how to go forward because we really can't
(32:18):
be out with it here at work because it will
cause problems. Okay, now I'm starting to fill away.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Okay, so he is your supervisor, but his ex fiance
works there.
Speaker 14 (32:30):
She does?
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Does she know about y'all?
Speaker 4 (32:32):
No? No, wonder, So what's really the problem?
Speaker 11 (32:36):
That's the ex fiance and you you already know y'all
can't be out with it, but y'all can be in
with it.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Are you friends with her?
Speaker 14 (32:42):
I'm not okay?
Speaker 4 (32:44):
How does I mean? I don't know her.
Speaker 14 (32:46):
I'm cordial, but I don't really know her to have
any loyalty to her.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
What's really the problem?
Speaker 14 (32:55):
Well, the problem is he wants to be more out
and so do I. HM, but it just feels like
it might be wrong or it's going to cause problem.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
I think take your time as far as being out,
because what if y'all come out with this and then
break up anyway?
Speaker 3 (33:12):
You know what I mean? Make sure it's real before
you do that.
Speaker 10 (33:14):
And is there some type of rule within the workspace
that you guys can't date?
Speaker 14 (33:19):
Well? The thing is he can't be my supervisor.
Speaker 6 (33:22):
I don't think.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
You can't.
Speaker 11 (33:27):
So you can't go out with You can't come out
with it and be like flirty or showing.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Unless a new job.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Is he still attracted to all his X?
Speaker 14 (33:37):
It doesn't seem like it to me, And like I
go to his house and stuff like that. She knows
where he lives. He doesn't hide my car or anything.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Are you are you attracted to his X?
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Shut up?
Speaker 10 (33:48):
They're not having at the recent you know, stop it.
I was going to ask him if the ex is
still wants to be with.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
The maybe they all can be together share.
Speaker 14 (33:57):
I don't get down like that. I feel like she
might have moved on, but I still see her five
iron people that they.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
I mean, look, that's that's a natural thing. But you're
not doing anything wrong. The only wrong thing might be,
like what Gigi said, if there's some type of rule
against that in the workplace, which is why you have
to be cautious of that. So I would leave my
personal relationship at home and my work relationship in the workspace.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
That's right, Okay, thank you, all right, good luck. I
hope it works out.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Write me a review on YO for the Advice.

an author. Let's not forget that. Yeah, I'm married Negra.
Is that? Am I saying it right?
Speaker 4 (35:24):
You're saying it right.
Speaker 7 (35:25):
Actually, I was advised when I was coming up with
this book idea like, be careful with the title. People
might be a little afraid of the title, but you
said it right, and that was the hope that people
would learn to say it and learn what it means.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
And I want you to talk about this because for me,
I'm a person who's you know, I'm half Chinese and
I'm also half West Indian, and so whenever I would
go get my hair done at the Dominican salon, I
would have to explain because they always that I was Dominican,
so I would have to say, so Echina in negra, yeah,
and let them know that because you know that I
can speak a little Spanish because I'm from New York.
Speaker 7 (35:57):
It's so relatable because a lot of us are asked
that question what are you? And I think that that
is what sent me on this journey to be like, well,
who am I?
Speaker 4 (36:05):
But also what did I.
Speaker 7 (36:07):
Need to know back then to actually love myself? To
accept myself? And it takes time, So whoever reads this
book is really going on a journey of self discovery
that I hope is relatable to a lot of people.
A lot of people come from multi ethnic families like
this is more normal in America today and will soon
be part of the majority. So I thought it was
important to talk about what it's like to live between
(36:29):
multiple cultures.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Right now, I'm talking to Natasha ask Alfred. Her book
American Negata is available right now. I think that timing wise,
this is also a great time for us to have
this conversation watching everything that just transpired with Kenjak and
Drake too. Part of that battle was Ken Jake telling
Drake you can't use the N word right because he
is half white and half black.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
I want to know what your thoughts are on that.
Speaker 7 (36:54):
Well, you know, I think it's this idea of using
blackness when it's commercially advantaged just to you. People have
an issue with that, and it's about being authentic, right,
And so I think that there are people who see
Drake sort of almost step into different cultures and sort
of assume, right, he gives you that sound one time,
(37:14):
you know, it's Afro beads and then it's Pato and
it's like, I think there's a way to do it
that pays homage. But then there's this line of are
you exploiting people? I think it's a question we're all
asking about who has the right to And you know
what's interesting, Angela, this La La Bad Bunny interview did
you see that.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
When she was on the Red carpet and she was
able to fluidly go in between oh, English and Spanish
to get a great job.
Speaker 7 (37:39):
She did, but there were some people who thought she
didn't do good enough. Right, So even though there are
all these people like, oh, look, this is an example
of an Afro Latina, this is example of diaspora, there
were people like, ah, but does she really speak Spanish? Well,
how comes she didn't you know, respond more in Spanish,
Like there's always somebody trying to keep yeah and tell
(37:59):
you that you aren't what you are. So I think
that's the flip side, the negative flip side of trying
to tell somebody who they aren't when clearly like that
is their culture.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
And I think that's part of you know, what the
book tries to.
Speaker 7 (38:12):
Do as well, is to raise the visibility of black Latinos,
and there are a lot of us out there.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
Think about it.
Speaker 7 (38:17):
We've got Cardi b An offset like, that's an example
of children who are going to grow up with different
ethnicities or cultures, and those are black children. So what
does it mean to live at that intersection and have
some people tell you, oh, well, you're not enough of
this or you're not that.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
Natasha s Alfred is here joining me.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
She's the VP of Digital Content and senior correspondent for
The Grio and a CNN political analysts and an author.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
We have more with her when we come back.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
It's way up, ye, but you're all being waiting for
Oh you're tapped in a way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Is way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee and
Natasha s Alfred is here with me. American Negra is
out right now. There were so many other things that
I had that I wanted to talk about in this book.
You know what, Let's do one of them, okay, you know,
cause you get personalized certain things that happened when you
were younger. And there was a time in high school
there was an older guy.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
Oh gosh, oh yeahy hang around.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
To high school and you, being young and innocent, all right,
ended up, you know, going back to his house with him.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Thank God, nothing happened to you.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
But I was thinking about that situation, about how many
times people will blame a woman or blame a young
girl and call her fast for being in that situation.
You were a virgin, you ended up at his house.
You were scared. He was on top of you, like
and fortunately he was like, all right, this is too much,
let me just take you home and nothing happened. But
(39:42):
I just thought about how many times, as young girls,
we make decisions that we wish we wouldn't have made
and then end up in a terrible situation that could
have gone awful.
Speaker 7 (39:52):
Well, one thing is our cultures so fear based. Our
young people are afraid to tell us what's going on.
So we think we'll get punished if we ask certain
questions or talk about certain relationships that are developing. And
all you do is you just push the activity into
the quiet, right into the dark where it can't be
seen or monitored. So I believe in creating a culture
where we do talk about these things with our young people. Second,
(40:13):
I think there is this. I mean we're seeing it.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
Even with the rat beef.
Speaker 7 (40:16):
We were just talking about like how normal is it
for people to go after young girls?
Speaker 3 (40:21):
You know, that's just normal.
Speaker 7 (40:22):
We had older guys driving around the high schools all
the time, and young girls think like they're flattered by it.
They think it means oh, this means I'm smart, This
means I'm mature, and we have to put our young
girls up on game. Like, no, that's part of the game, right,
to make you think that you are special in some way,
when really, what grown man will want anything to do
with a sixteen year old seventeen year olds?
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Right?
Speaker 7 (40:44):
But I wanted to be honest about these things because
I think people just think, oh, you know Harvard, she's
on CNN. People project a lot of things, like they
assume they know what your life is, and I have
the life of it was like a regular black girl
growing up in upstate New York. Like, this is what
we were dealing with, older adult men driving by the
high school trying to pick us up.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
That is not normal.
Speaker 4 (41:05):
That is not normal.
Speaker 7 (41:07):
So I wanted to talk about that to you know,
free us up, to share the lessons we've learned and
hopefully you know what inspires somebody. I think it's a
great coming of age story, for sure, it is if
it's a young person.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
You for a long time, and I've admired all the
work that you've been doing for thank you, you know, over
a decade now.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
I want to say so thank you. You're a part
of my journey.
Speaker 7 (41:28):
I mean, you were one of the first people to
help me do a national radio interview back when I
was on the Breakfast Club. And thank you for being
somebody who opens doors for others and doesn't like close
them behind you.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
So well, hopefully we do a whole lot more together
because you know, anything you need, I'm here.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
Thank you, Sis, I appreciate it. I'm gonna be holding
you to that same same standard. Yes, absolutely, we end
it together.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
It is a critical time, so I do want to
make sure you know, as we're on this platform right now,
that you're agreened that you'll be back.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
I will be back, all right. Well, guys, make sure
you pick up this book. You are going to love it.
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
If you have you know, children, I think this is
a great book for them to read too, for the youth,
but for somebody like myself seeing your whole journey scene
where you are today, it was definitely something special to
be able to read. American Negra is out right now,
Natasha Alfred, thank you so much.

Situel loss that I have young black male out here

even brutally attacked her. So yes, we appreciate that, and

you guys picked that up. Brilliant conversation, and of course
y'all have the last word.
Speaker 8 (43:23):
Hi, Angela, my name is Lakeisha, and I was calling
about feeling powerless. I just want to just say that
I did feel powerless when my son was murdered and
the murderer, he had a paid lawyer, twisted the whole case,
and I felt powerless because I didn't have a lawyer.
I just had the DA who was working with the lawyer.
(43:44):
And it's just when you have money or poo in
places and things, you lose out on a lot. And
I just wanted to say, yes, I feel powerless till
this day because my son's life mattered, and at that
time it didn't. Good morning, this is hi. I just
wanted to shout out doctor Jamal Bryant and nineteen Keys
(44:05):
both at them educating the community and standing up for
the community.
Speaker 6 (44:09):
Angela Yee is way up, the way up.
