AI artist. So we're gonna ask all the questions that
I know everybody wants to know about it. But when
we come back, it's time to shine a light. And
today we have a really, really powerful shine of light.
There's been a lot of conversations about these Epstein files.
If you've been following it, it's gotten really political. It's

(01:20):

But first there's shining light. And this was important to
me to shine this light because these women.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Have put out a PSA.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
They are the Jeffrey Epstein survivors. They survived abuse by
him and many others. One of the women told NBC
her name is Danielle Benski. It's a call to action.
While we are Epstein and Maxwell survivors. We are standing
for so many victims of sexual assault and of domestic
violence as well. They put out this PSA that was
produced by World Without Exploitation, and they want these Epstein

(02:23):
files to be made public.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
That's an anticipation of.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Tomorrow's House vote on releasing those files. She said. Many
people scroll and they see our stories and they want
to find a way to advocate, and they're not really
sure how. Really want to tell people that you can
get out there and you can do this for yourself
and be a part of what's starting to really feel
like of movement in a way. So this video has
several women holding photos of their younger selves at the
age that they met Jeffrey Epstein, and here is some

(02:49):
of that.

Speaker 5 (02:50):
I suffered so much pain, so much pain, so much pain.
I was fourteen years old, I was sixteen years old.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
I was sixteen, seventeen, fourteen years old.

Speaker 5 (02:58):
When I met Jeffrey.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
They are about one thousand of us. It's time to
bring the secrets out of the shadows. It's time to
shine a light into the darkness. So we're shining a
light on them in anticipation of tomorrow's vote. All right, now,
Della Wander, who do you want to shine a light on.

Speaker 6 (03:15):
I would like to shine a light on my mother,
The ILMI reader spears at Toledo, Ohio.

Speaker 7 (03:21):
My mama is everything that me and my siblings needed
in this world. And I also would like to shine.

Speaker 6 (03:28):
A light on my sister. Okay, girl, Hi Speer's talent.

Speaker 7 (03:32):
We're always stepping up for our family.

Speaker 6 (03:35):
She takes great care of our mother, and she also
takes great care of our adopted Listen.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
We love a great functioning family. So thank you so
much for calling us today and shout out to your mom.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
Thank you and your sister than you, Thank you having
a blessed day.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
You tell who that was shining light eight hundred and
two ninety two fifty one fifty You can always shine
a light for last word. Now, Kays, when we come back,
we have your yet And did you realize that this
trial is starting today, Meghan the Stallion, this federal defamation
lawsuit against Malagro Cooper.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Oh man, this is gonna be very interesting.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Okay, all right, well it's starting two days. We're going
to give you some of those details.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
It's way up the rooms from industry shade to all
of us out. Angela's spieling that ET.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
It's way up. But Angela yeek has is here with
me today doing some EET. You ready for this?

Speaker 3 (04:24):
I'm always ready for ET.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
All right. Well, this Megan, this Stallion, she's filed a
federal defamation lawsuit against Malagro Cooper. Malagro Cooper has a
plant she works on a platform station station head, and
she has Mobs Radio on there. She said she gets
about sixty three hundred dollars each month to stream five
days a week for three hours each day, and she
gets between five to ten thousand dollars monthly from that

(04:48):
streaming service. I see Navy's head like, maybe I should
try that right now.

Speaker 8 (04:53):
In the ground floor station head from the first launch.
Yeah yeah, and alran start. That was my god.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Okay, not a bit idea. Well, Megan no Stallion has
four claims against her, defamation, promotion of an altered sexual depiction,
intentional infliction of emotional distress, and cyberstalking. That trial actually
starts today, so right now in the courtroom they are
picking out the jurors, so of course they're asking them
if they know who Meg the Stallion is. They're asking

(05:19):
if they know who Tory Lanez is, and so this
all has to do with you know, Tory Lanes is
serving ten years in prison after he was convicted at
first degree assault with the firearm. But the allegations are
that Malagra was getting paid to basically put out these
untrue stories.

Speaker 8 (05:37):
Yeah, I heard about that definitely, you know, and as
a member of the media, I always feel like, you know,
freedom of speech is definitely something I stand for, but
definitely not freedom of consequences. Right, Like, if you're going
to be out there putting out stories that may not
be accurate or may not be true, it's definitely causing
friction between somebody who's going through it.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Then you know, you might guess soo happens?

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Right, And I think what Malagra was saying was that
she's not a journalist.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
Man can't play those games. No, we can't. I'm not
a journalist game when he's convenient. Yeah, exactly, especially when
you're in media.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
So we'll be following what's happening with that. But again
that Charlie is starting today, all right. Ex NBA player
Patrick Beverly was arrested for assault.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
When now, when we first heard this, this was in Texas.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
It was like, okay, you know it was a third
degree felony and it was on a family member, household member,
impeding breath or circulation. His bill was set at forty
thousand dollars. He posted that he was released and now
he has spoken out.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Did you see the update?

Speaker 9 (06:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (06:34):
I did see the update.

Speaker 8 (06:35):
So apparently I guess he caught an older man in
bed with his younger.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Sister, an eighteen year old man.

Speaker 8 (06:42):
Right but eight Wait we're talking about so the girls
sixteen and the man was eighteen, and apparently, guess what
this is a legends pap Beverly went and attacked his
sister instead.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
Of the man. Right? Is that I thought he attacked
the man?

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Nah?

Speaker 3 (06:55):
I mean that's not It's said it was a family member.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
And I think maybe because it was just in the house,
that's why probably it, says Patrick Beverly, his attorney said,
has no criminal record. He cares deeply about his little sister,
a young lady, a minor, given that when he unexpectedly
found her alone in the home with an eighteen year
old man in the middle of the night, he was
understandably concerned as any brother would be.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
About his sister.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
However, we don't believe what followed happened the way it's
been described, and we look forward to that opportunity in court.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
I hope, I hope. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (07:25):
Thought it's funny the way it's worded, because you know,
all first glance, it sounds like you attacked the family member,
but I guess the way it's written, it's just whoever
was in the house, that's.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
What it counts him. Yeah, so we don't know. But wait, Chessey,
I mean maybe that is the report.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Well that is your yet, and when we come back,
we have about last night. I was in Atlanta over
the weekend. I know you had a booked in busy weekend.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
We're gonna hear about it. His way up. Who so
about last night?

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yes, I went down.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
All right, his way up at Angela. Ye cast is
here with me today. But you've been working hard. I
just want to say thank you.

Speaker 8 (08:04):
I appreciate that. That means a lot coming from you
because you've got a lot of money. So when you
say I'm working.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Hard, working hard doesn't always equal with a lot of money.

Speaker 3 (08:12):

Yeah, yeah, well I was away off, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
That's crazy, That's what I thought. I was, like, the
edibles really bring that out of you.

and you use the edibles as the perfect excuse.

Speaker 6 (12:15):

Hey Anonymous color, how are you?

Speaker 4 (12:54):
How you doing?

Speaker 1 (12:55):
You want to tell me and Kas a secret?

Speaker 4 (12:57):
Yeah? So I wish I don't want to go to
balls and stuff like that, but I was on this trip.
I don't do edibles and stuff, but I ended up
taking someone there, and I guess I was more so
in my feelings or whatever, but I was, you know,
emotionally feeling everybody. So I looked over and there was
just one person. I guess he was selling bacon goods
and stuff like that.

Speaker 7 (13:17):
No story short.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
We kind of hooked up and everything, and since then
I think I had a thing for him, but I
just didn't know how to feel about it. And the
crazy part about it was we the same set, so
I think I might be biased on that side, but
I'm not even sure.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
So what you weren't?

Speaker 3 (13:31):
So you weren't bisexual before that, right, Like I.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
Did have my person or two, but it wasn't like that.
But I don't know that edible. I don't know. It
just made me feel some type of way.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
This is exactly why don't. I've never heard of that
side before. But you already kind of had these feelings
that you might like.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
That, right, but seah, I don't smoke all drinks, so
it's like it turned a whole other side. Yeah, I
didn't even know about so, like, okay.

The program have everybody reapplied for their benefits to make
sure everyone that's taking a tax payer funded BENEFIT through
snap or food stamps.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
Are literally are vulnerable and can't survive.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Without it.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
That's dramatic it is.

Speaker 8 (19:22):
Very dramatic but on the, same time you kind of
knew this is always, gonna, Happen right it felt like
whenever they brought, it back that we're going to try
and restructure it to something that made it feel more
comfortable for their. Own governments, you know that's always felt
a little.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
The base is.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
Gonna, love yeah a lot of.

Speaker 8 (19:38):
Their base all this stuff is narrative, Based anyway they
got to make it seem like people are taking advantage
of something that wasn't.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
Really happening but you know how that.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Goes, All, Right now frontier kicked a passenger off, the
flight and that is because OF a t shirt that he.
Had ON can i, say this it's his own. Clothing
brand it says All, coochies matter and he said it's,
his brand and he said it's a women's. Power, brand now,
he said people might get offended BY a, maga hat
but people wear them and they don't get kicked off,

(20:06):
The flight so WHY am i getting? Kicked off he
had already been taken off. The aircraft there's a video.
Of it According, to frontier they said they can refuse
to transport a passenger who isn't fully clothed in clothing
that is not lud, or, obscene, threatening intimidting or would
be objectionable to. Reasonable persons so a passenger was offended by,
the shirt they. Flagged it the flight, attendant agreed and

(20:27):
they made. The decision why not just, Be, like okay
get a shirt to, put over a sweatshirt or something
to put, over this.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
Throw a jacket on.

Speaker 8 (20:35):
Or, Something right but at the, SAME time i, get
it it's got to be about the principle at some point.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
To put it on, inside out that's a lot. Of
work just throw a little, windjam over a little blazer.
Or something, you KNOW.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
When i was coming Back, from ATLANTA when, i landed
there was a woman that had on like a little
bando top and that. Was IT and i, was like
they probably won't let her on a plane, like that
because a lot of times if, you're not like if
your stomach is out or things, like that sometimes they won't.
Let you want chance to, cover up your chance To,
cover yes so, we'll SEE but i guess they have

(21:07):
the right to tell you if they don't want you on.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
Matter, though okay you know that's nice. Of you it's a.

Speaker 8 (21:13):
Uniting statement i'm not mad, at, all right but that
is you're under.

earlier days in your twenties, and thirties it does feel.
Very transactional but, you know, you know spirits and sleeping
with people and staying in the bed. With people that's
real energy that you're. Carrying, on, so yeah that's that's what.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
Kazin up we are full and we are full. Of
advice this way up relationship for. Career advice angela's. Dropping
facts you should you. Should know THIS.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Is asd what's up this way You put angela yea

and Right now waldo's on the line and he is
going through it with his. Children's mother he hasn't been
able to see. His kids we got to give him.

Speaker 5 (26:40):
Some advice my, baby, mother well when.

Speaker 7 (26:43):
We were seing with, each other my first son idiots
whether she told me it might not be my after
my daughter. Bones whoa BUT now i took up a
quick comple of months ago for then the tests her and,
THEY law i don't know what, they do was able
to close my case recently she served me not trying
to take Me To, charles so but. The RESEARCH when
i was trying to talk to my so a couple of,
months ago she got the phone, from him show me

(27:05):
or leave, us alone and she got the. Phone blacket
EVER since i can't see none of my kids vote.
FOR them i don't know if they're mind or if
they're not mine not she have another man in the
house play daddy for.

Speaker 11 (27:15):
The.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Kids ouch but she's sending you to court for, child, Support,
right yeah do you have?

Speaker 3 (27:20):
A lawyer i don't have.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
A lawyer i want to recommend that you get a
lawyer number one and number two when you go for.
Child support also make sure you put your visitation in
there because she'll have to agree.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
To, that yeah definitely double up on that. Lawyer, advice
yeah you have to get.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
A lawyer you got to take. This seriously, YOU know i.
Got kids clearly her issues, with you she's letting that
transfer over to your relationship with. Your kids and no
court is going to not want the dad to be
in their. KIDS life i tell you that unless you.
WERE abusive i.

Speaker 7 (27:52):
Think, so, no no not.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
At, All right That's what i'm saying for. Another, man,
well yeah so no court is going, to, say oh
he can't see. His kids but it is, a long
painsticking process to have to. Go through but once you,
go through things will be set and then hopefully it
will end up getting better later because sometimes, you know
those early stages are, really TOUGH and i think the

(28:14):
faster that you, are proactive the more grace that they'll
have with you in court when you show that you're
trying to do the. Right thing make sure you have,
everything documented make sure you're not talking crazy to her
and that she could use that in court. Against you
just keep it as cordial. As possible when you guys have,
to commute and maybe wait until everything gets, established legally

(28:34):
a lawyer who's an expert in this and family law
is going to be who's going to be able to
guide you. Through THIS and i think it'll make you
feel better once you have a chance and an opportunity
to speak to somebody.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
That can let you know what you should be.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Asking, for okay, all right but just do THAT because
i could tell that you're really stressed out and it's.
Bothering you the faster you, do that the faster the
process can get started to. Bother anybody, All right luck, To, you,
okay brother, thank you, thank You and i'm sorry that's happening,
to YOU but i hope you get.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
It handled.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Thank, you well that Was asking that's heartbreaking. For me
stories like that, me Too, all right eight hundred and
two ninety two fifty. One fifty if you couldn't, get
through leave a message and you can ask us a
question that way and when we. Come back, You know

These songs and he said, for him he uses it to, get, placements.

Speaker 12 (30:51):

to have their. Own voice so why wouldn't you just be? A,
songwriter honestly this was. NEVER intentional i was just MIXING
what i love to do with tick and this was
the OUTCOME that. I got but if it came about
today for me to be, A songwriter i will collaborate with.

The vocals for.

Speaker 8 (31:46):

Speaker 5 (31:46):

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Gotcha Okay because i've seen some artists saying that they
felt like this was them and that they were planning.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
To, sue yeah two weeks ago It, was beyonce then
It Was.

Speaker 13 (31:54):
Kaarine harthin the fans say it sound like somebody every,
Day exact so we just take it in and don't
feed into it because all those artists. Are Exceptional but
zania's Actually is. Nicki's persona it's just like if you
go in. The studio when you go any artists that
goes in, THE studio i don't care how vocally talent,
they are they put templates on. Their voices so that's
all that we did With the soon on ap so IS, It,
ai yes but it Still has nicki's feelings.

course i'm going to get everything that's thrown. In me,
i'm strong my other Person on i'm handling it.

things that happened to me And really now on the,

Speaker 2 (33:48):
More way Up with angela on now what's.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
Up his way Up at. Angela yee i'm here Today
With jasmine brand and we are Talking To nicki Jones
and romel ABOUT their ai recording artists the Niam. On
A but Jamai du prix also commented, on, IT right
i know you saw, He, Said Oh, millie vanilly they
got mad at them for. Lip sicking but now we
HAVE these. Ai artists how would you respond.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
TO that.

Speaker 12 (34:14):
I don't i hadn't responded to anything that none of
the artists. Have said do you understand?

Speaker 11 (34:20):
It?

Speaker 2 (34:20):
All?

Speaker 12 (34:20):
WHERE yeah i do understand where they're, coming FROM but.
I don't i, just don't, you know dig. Into it
the most important thing for me, is like how don't touch?
Your lives you Know how i'm able to be a
voice for the people who felt like their story could never.
GET told i have so many people reaching out to, me,
like dang you must be in. MY head i had
two people tell me that if they had to listen to,
my song they probably would have took.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
Their life so that is more. Than, anything yeah like
listen every.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Day y'all how did you feel when you were approached
to actually get this opportunity to sign to a label
and like, we said this three million Dollar Deal.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
Hallwood media how did they? Approach you how did this even?

Speaker 12 (34:57):
Go down several labels reached out. AT first i were,
responding THOUGH because i never wanted to be in the.
Music industry there was never.

Speaker 5 (35:04):
My, LINE again i was TAKING what i love to do,
and meet never thinking it was gonna go. This, far
well they came with. The numbers it was.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
Mind blowing it Took off bicepal and.

Speaker 13 (35:13):
Took viral so we had the advantage because in a
matter of three weeks you looking at ten twelve. Million
streams if that was a, TRADITIONAL artist i know what it.
Would be i'm gonna taken consideration It, is ai but
we still got to get close to. That number would
because if that was a, traditional artist that number would have.
Been double majors, offered DEALS but i didn't want to
go through the majors because it's a lot of. RED
tape i wanted to stay with the. Independent distributor this
made the most sense because it kept. HER control a

(35:34):
lot of people comments are saying they own all of,
the masters they, own everything they're just using her.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
To face.

Speaker 13 (35:39):
That's incorrect she on one hundred percent of, Her masters
she on one hundred percent of. Her publishing we own everything.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
Right Now With, jasmine brand and we are Talking, About
zanaiamo Nay and ai generated recording Artists Alongside nikki jones
who writes her music and created Her And romel murphy
who worked out the three million.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
DOLLAR deal i cannot wait to see how this tour
works out and.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Be interesting so when you think about the rollout for,
the album what is that Looking like we're.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
Going back And forth january where it will be some new.

Speaker 13 (36:08):
Music out but it just happened, so fast and you
got to think when she first Put Her life, stories
out it was forty some songs in, A month.

Speaker 3 (36:15):
Like that's four albums for are.

Speaker 13 (36:17):
No artists she just put it out there, and yeah
so it's, Just, like okay now we got to, sit
back and now we got to put a marketing play
together and put a rollout in. The strategy but the
one thing we have we have to plan our favorite
is that the words and the lyrics are connecting because
their real life experience is so we don't want to
oversaturate it and just.

Speaker 11 (36:35):
Force it and, BE honest i do feel like it's
going to be less real life singers in. THE future
i feel like this might be the new wave of
what music, is.

Speaker 12 (36:43):
Like hopefully just, some mixture, Hope, hopefully yeah because we
still won't think human.

Speaker 5 (36:49):
Tour, feeling, yeah yeah, YOU know i still want to
go see some.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Of them REPLACE that i see people online doing VIDEOS
like i just did the same thing he did in.
Five Minutes like i've seen all. Of that it's still like.

Speaker 12 (37:03):
That easy like people think because JUST because i hear
create and get, two songs they don't mean it's gonna
be the. Perfect One sometimes i'm sitting there for hours
going through hundreds, of songs AND so i get the
ONE that i think SOUND how i wanted.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
