getting married manas, So you.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Better pay attention, all right, because divorce can be messy. Now,
David Geffen is firing back at his estranged husband, and
so the guy that he married, David Andrew Armstrong aka
Donovan Michaels, is saying that David Geffen was supposed to
still take care of him. They did not have a prenup.
And you know, David Geffen is worth eight point eight
(10:55):
billion dollars and so all he has doesn't have income.
He just has investments right now, like property sales and
dividends from stocks and equities that he's had for a
long time before he met his husband. So any assets
that he got before they married would be his own
separate property. That is what David Geffen is saying. But
he's also saying that his ex is trying to shake
(11:16):
him down. A lot of people felt like when they
got married to this whole thing was like a you know,
marry a rich old billionaire. Now, David Geffen says that
Armstrong was treated like a king when they were together,
and he used his money to buy expensive clothes, get
cosmetic procedures done, go on extravagant tips with his friends,
and took advantage of him and his good nature and generosity.
He said, he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on
(11:39):
only fans, subscriptions and mail prostitutes towards the end of
their marriage. And this is what the yes is what
the husband was doing with David Geffen's billions of dollars.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Boys.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Yes, So he said that Armstrong is still living rent
for you in one of his luxury New York apartments
and also gets monthly payments from him.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
But he said, this divorce it's been simple. Now it's
a public spectacle. So ooh, it's messy. It's messy out here,
all right.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
And Angel Reese is having her first Reboux signature shoe
released in September.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
She finally has her date.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
They've announced it's gonna launch on September eighteenth at rebook
dot com and also at select retailer's four one hundred
and twenty dollars. It's called the Diamond Dust, all right,
So congratulations to her for that, and that is your ut.
When we come back, we have under the radar. These
are the stories that are not necessarily in the headlines.
They're flying under the radar, but you need to know
about them. And one of them is going to be
(12:34):
about same day grocery service. Let me tell you that
is a blessing, and we'll tell you who is expanding
into that field.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It's way up.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
No news edition in the news that relates to you.
These stories are flying under the radar.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
What's up? Its way up at Angela.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Yee, I'm here, menos here sure, and let's get into
this under the radar.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Now, let's talk about this.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Suspicious women are hiring this woman, Lana Madison as a
honey trap to see if their boyfriends willed sheet. Okay, now,
this woman says it's shocking how fast men fold.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
She said, a lot of them will.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I didn't plan to become a real life honeytrap. But
once a few girls online saw what I'd look like
and what I do for work, they realize it, I'm
the ultimate temptation. So she charges five thousand dollars to
test a boyfriend's loyalty and she uses his social media
or phone info and then she slides into his DM.
She looks that would be like entrapment in a way
that Yeah, it doesn't even.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Play with a man like that, because you know the
way way do you respond to her?
Speaker 8 (13:34):
Yeah, I'm a fell.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Even when you get married pretty much. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
All right, well there you have it straight from the
horse's mouth, all right. Now, Amazon is going to expand
the same day grocery service to twenty three hundred cities,
so get ready for that. And they're saying that is
gonna That did sink the shares of Walmart and instacart
as well. They've also lowered the minimum ordered threshold to
twenty five dollars so that they were into a lot
(14:00):
of other businesses. But you know, Amazon is that giant,
and their shares went up one percent on Wednesday, And
according to reports, the music that you listen to from
ages thirteen to seventeen is what creates your emotional side.
So adolescence is that time of heightened emotions and rapid chain.
So songs from those years are most linked to meaningful memories.
You think that's true. I don't know, but I feel
(14:22):
like I knew lyrics to a lot more songs back then, too,
Like Wow, how don't you know?
Speaker 8 (14:26):
I don't know nothing that sings.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I don't know what I'm saying.
Speaker 8 (14:28):
I do know the ones from when I was younger.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
All right, well, that is your under the radar. Don't forget.
We got Chance the Rapper joining us today. He's got
a new album out right now.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
It's called star Line, and we got the Way Up
mixed for you at the top of the hour, Happy Friday.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Whether it's relationship for career advice, Angela's dropping facts, you.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Should know this is ask gee what's up? As well?
Speaker 3 (14:49):
But Angela, yee, I'm here and the award wringing, advice
giving winning you know it's here, and we have LJ
on the line for ask.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yee, hey, ALJ, Hey, how you doing, I'm good? How
you feel?
Speaker 5 (15:00):
I'm feeling good?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
All right, what's your question for asking you?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
I'll quickly tell you the story. I called my ex
girlfriend that I used to date a couple of years ago.
I called her mom as sex with a guy that
wasn't my dad twice, so that what was you doing?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
You're the guy, you know.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
So we were together for like nine years, so I
was like embedded in the family. I was like practically
a family member. And one day I was there and
my old lady was at the uh at a job.
She was a teacher, so it was the daytime and
my mom was a professor, but she wasn't working that day,
so I guess she must have forgotten that I was there.
And uh so I rushed down the steps because I
(15:43):
heard somebody. Moment I thought it was my girl, and
I'm like, yeah, this was about to be a crime
scene open And so when I went through the kitchen,
looked through the front room, she was getting it out.
I life getting right.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
And then there was a second time.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Yeah, so the second problem was like called it in
the garage. The dog told on her. The dog was
like barking and he was like barking at the garage,
the garage, and I'm like, I'm about to let him out.
You want to peek? She can go on the moving
fight about the same. So what's the advice you need that?
Do you think I should have told her?
Speaker 8 (16:16):
No, I think you should have mind your business. That's
what I think.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
You shouldn't minded your business. It don't matter what that
got to do with you, though. Look, Mama need love
to that lady cheating peace man, bro bro.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Look, I never I never told anyone else man, Like
I never told the popper. Never too good something you
gotta take to the grain. He caught me catching her,
so it was kind of awkward.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Listen how you guys locked eyes? Yeah, stop or just
kept going.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Oh no, they stopped immediately like they they pretended like
they were looking at the bike or whatever, like the bike,
but like I closed the door really fast and just
went back in the man.
Speaker 8 (16:57):
If I was you, I would leave it alone.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Man, not gonna lie.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
If I caught my man's like mom cheating, I probably
would tell him what I saw, And that is up
to him if he's like gonna tell the family, but not.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Too hard to keep.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Like I couldn't keep that from I'm not telling on Mama,
but you know, don't tell type of person.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
Oh yeah, most definitely. Mama was gonna get loved because
ma'ma be having all the young dudes.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
See, uh huh, he was looking at mama too kind
of way.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
All right, well, look, I don't know if you need
her advice because you did tell her. But Mano is
saying you shouldn't have told her. I would tell my
significant other. What if she would have looked at you
and been like your next he would have went in.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
He was right. You wouldn't.
Speaker 8 (17:41):
You wouldn't have told. You wouldn't have told that.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Like she was.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Fine, Fine, We're gonna let you go now, okay, LJ,
all right, all right, all right, thank you for calling.
All right, snitch, Well that was asking ye eight hundred
and two ninety two fifty one fifty. Just in case
you have a question, you can always leave a message
and ask that way. And when we come back, Chance
the Rapper is here. His album is available today, and
(18:06):
we are so blessed to have Chance up here. Star
Line is the album, and we got a lot of
fun with Chance the Rapper. When we come back, it's
way up.
Speaker 8 (18:16):
Way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
More.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Now, what's up?
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Its way up with Angela Yee. This guy has definitely
been way up. Chance the rapper is here. A lot
of people haven't been getting information about star Line. This
album has been a long time in the making because
it's been years, like how long sixty years?
Speaker 8 (18:35):
Six years?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah, since the last part.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
I'm not crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
It is crazy to even anticipate it was gonna.
Speaker 8 (18:40):
Take you not at all.
Speaker 9 (18:42):
I would have had it out way sooner if I could.
I'm glad for the journey that it took because I
got so much knowledge. And I think also, like my
personal life changed over and over and over and over again.
I'll have a song that I'm working on and then
I feel like it's done, and then something happens and
I'll be like, man, I knew I was supposed to
talk about that. Now I definitely got to talk about that.
And I'll go back and like add something or change
(19:03):
something to pull something. And I think like music is
similar to a painting, and that is never done till
it's done, and really only the artist knows when it's done,
and even they sometimes don't necessarily know until you look
up one day and like, oh, this piece has always
been beautiful. And with this project, everything kind of fell
(19:24):
into place in the perfect time, like I'm working again
with Brandon Bro.
Speaker 8 (19:28):
That's my dog. He wanted he did the artwork. Yeah,
we did the first three projects like.
Speaker 9 (19:33):
When we were both even though he's older than me,
like you know, younger in our careers, and then to
come back now all these years later and do another
project and be really really intentional about it.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Right now, Chance the rapper is here with me. His
album star Line is out today.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
You know.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
It's interesting because you said you have been through a
lot of personal changes, so it's nice to have something
familiar that you're comfortable with too as you're putting out
something new.
Speaker 9 (19:56):
One hundred percent, I think Brandon is like somebody that's
been with me through all of the changes in my life.
And also having him be like my introduction to the
arts as a person that used to fail at art
class every year and almost got kicked out of school
for like a lie that my art teacher told on
me in the sophomore year.
Speaker 8 (20:11):
I've always had a weird separation from art. It was crazy.
I'm not gonna shower.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
What was the lie?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Bro?
Speaker 9 (20:17):
Something happened when she was telling everybody to shut up
and I was still talking, and she says something along
the lines of like get out the class, and I
was like, I bet and I grabbed my and walked out.
And then she like told the administration that I had
like threatened her and that I've like physically charged her.
Speaker 8 (20:32):
Some type of crazy. I was.
Speaker 9 (20:34):
I was blessed that there was thirty witnesses in the room.
I was like, it was crazy also because it's like
I hated going to school, like I used to not
go to school when that stuff happened, and she kicked
me out, like it almost ruined my whole, like like
I almost got kicked out of school all types stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Why would a teacher do? That's wild to me. Some
kids need special attention.
Speaker 9 (20:52):
To a special Clearly I was a special at from
fourth grade through graduating high school, and like certain classes
that I didn't go to that to go sit in
a room with like seven kids. And what I'll say
is that like those sort of diagnosies and labels on
children definitely mess with their sense of self and confidence.
(21:13):
And I used to always feel like I was not
smart when I was a kid, and obviously.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I am smart and the other did y'all know I
was in specially before?
Speaker 8 (21:20):
Now did y'all even get a hint of a feeling
that right.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
I rap about it a lot on the album actually,
and like a couple of different songs, so on the intro,
in the outro, I kind of touch on it.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Chance the Rapper is here.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
His album Starline is available today, and of course we
got more with him when we come back.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
It's way Up. Look you want to know my name?
Speaker 8 (21:38):
Way Up with Angela ye?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Turn me on what's up? His Way Up with Angela Yee?
Speaker 3 (21:43):
And exciting news. Star Line is out today. That's Chance
the Rappers new album. It's been six years and he's
here with us on Way Up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
You know.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
One of the standout tracks is No More Old Men,
my favorite.
Speaker 9 (21:55):
Record on the album. I'll tell you where it really
comes from. So my cousin, her name's Carpenter. She's an
amazing poet. She basically wrote this piece that was like,
because of how many get killed right after they have
a kid, and how many old men end up with
health problems downing younger and younger. There's gonna be a
day in Chicago. There's no pop pause is what we
be calling them, like, there's no grandfathers. The second verse
(22:17):
talks more so about like my relationship to my father
and how I watched him interact with his homies growing up.
My dad and I are super super close, which is
not always the story in hip hop, and so I
talk a little bit about me and my dad our closeness.
Like I got a line that I love so much.
It starts off I say, I danced with my father,
Lutha vander Ross. We played catch so much. I turned
to Randy Moss.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
I dance with my father, Luther vander Ross. We played
catch so much.
Speaker 8 (22:41):
I turned to Randy Moss.
Speaker 9 (22:43):
Little lines like that, like I love so much because
they give a beautiful and clever and understandable description of
the relationship with me and my dad, and it uses hyperbole.
So there's a lot of things I like about that,
but it goes into further and further, like describing how
my dad and his French relationships was and how he
and his friends romantic relationships with they wives was, And
it just kind of talks from again a cultural standpoint
(23:05):
of like understanding why they make certain decisions, why people
get divorced, but that or I'm sorry why people split
up and never get divorced, and like just live in
two separate rooms on two different parts of the house.
Speaker 8 (23:15):
Like that's like a me growing up. That was something
that I used to see all the time.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
It is something we all see right now. Chance the
rapper is here with me.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
His album star Line is out today, you know, And
I do want to say, like, even for you, I
know that was a hard decision for you to get divorced,
and you know we watched that struggle like break up,
get back together, you know, and you briefly reference it
on the first song.
Speaker 9 (23:37):
I think, like I don't know the answers at all.
I don't know what's right and what's wrong. But then
also like I agree totally that people should go in
the pursuit of happiness and in the pursuit of love
and making decisions that are going to be best for
their hearts and so like even in the context of
the intro, it's more like I mention it, but I'm
really mentioning it on like the like decision making part
(23:58):
of like tell.
Speaker 8 (23:59):
Me, how can you now afore to foul divorce? The
child support? The back door? Take the trial to court?
Tell me, how can you now afford to foul divorce?
Speaker 6 (24:08):
The child support?
Speaker 8 (24:09):
The back door, take the trial to court.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Even on the best of these times, it's good.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
There's only two.
Speaker 8 (24:14):
Reasons that is good. The back door and the trial court.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Is not about myself in general.
Speaker 9 (24:19):
It's more like other things that's going on in my
life that I really don't talk about because I have
like all these things to worry about, so I like
try not to, like I guess cloud the information that
I'm putting.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Sometimes you don't want to say something it gets misinterpreted
or it becomes the headline.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
But you have an album coming out called star.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
Line and my tour that I'm so excited.
Speaker 9 (24:38):
