I love a story of perseverance. And you never know
when your time is coming. But j c Escata, he
was driving uber and he was doing odd jobs. He
was a substitute teacher, all of those things to help
pay his bills. While he was playing independent ball for
(01:43):
two years. He was making about four hundred dollars every
two weeks in indie ball. He was playing overseas, playing
renter A ball, doing all these different jobs, and he
had thought for a period of time that maybe it's
not gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
He was going to hang it up.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
But he got called into the office at stein Bernerfield,
and at first he thought that it was going to
be bad news. It wasn't anybody else in the room,
so he felt like, oh, it's not really a celebration.
Aaron Boom was the person who was speaking to him
and framing the conversation as a difficult one, talking about
the organization and the catching depth in the organization, but
(02:17):
then told him that he was going to the big
leagues now, a Scotta said, it feels amazing a lot
of time coming. I was just grateful to be here
at first, and now my dreams come true. Now is
the easy part. Now it's just played baseball on the
biggest stage. So I'm excited for what's to come. He
also has a baby on the way. He celebrated with
his wife on Saturday night. He's going to be a
dad in June. And so by tomorrow the Yankees are

Right, Well, thank you for calling.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Thank you thank you well. That was shining Light eight
hundred two nine two fifty one fifty. If you couldn't
get through, you can leave a message for a last word,
and let's shift gears. Candy Burrs versus Tamar Braxton. Man,
the two of them have been going at it. I
can't believe this because I feel like they both are
so talented and have so much going on.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
But we'll tell you what's happening. That had the two
of them riled up.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Its way up, they says, troop in the rooms from
industry shade to all of gossip out send Angelas feeling
that yet all right.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
His way up with Angela. Yee, I'm here, my guy,
Mana is here right now, and uh, let's get into this,
ye t.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
I gotta started off with saying a rest in peace
to George Foreman. He passed away at the age of
seventy six world heavyweight boxing champion. But of course them
Foreman grills went crazy. I just watched the movie about
his life.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I've seen that movie.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Yeah, when I was on the plane. So there was
an announcement on.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
His page that said, our hurts are broken with profound sorrow.
We announced the passing of our beloved George Edward Foreman, Senior,
who peacefully departed on March twenty first, twenty twenty five,
surrounded by loved ones. All Right, so shout out to him.
And we knew him as a commentator as well. So again,
a beautiful life that he had. All right, Now, let's
(04:30):
get into this Candy Burs versus Tamar Braxton, the two
of them, it feels like due to old things that
have been said, this beef has been reignited. And Candy
was doing an interview for Entertainment tonight, doing an exclusive chat,
and the interviewer brought up Old Lady Gang Restaurant and
(04:52):
what Tamar had to say about the restaurant, and Candy
responded about Tamar, listen to what happened.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
I don't believe that she's still I'm not playing games
with clowns, like you're not Finna, I'm not gonna be
in the circus.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
But she usually are like, we're not doing that ever
a game?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
All right?
Speaker 9 (05:08):
Now.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Previously, Tamar had said some things about Candy's Old Lady
Gang restaurant, said nobody's checking for it. She called the
spot nasty, and she said it is a known thing
here in Atlanta, and she said when people are considering
stopping at a spot for food, nobody thinks about Old
Lady Gang and.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
So on and so forth.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
So she did clear things up after that, and she
said it was when people shared that clip.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
She said it was a three year old video.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
I don't know how it came to see the light
of day, but apparently the two of them are still
not getting alonger than Tamar posted a clip of Candy
singing and put a clown emoji on fire, So that's
what's going on with the two of them. I also
saw people saying that Old Lady Gang is closed. I
know they had more than one location, so I don't
know if they're all closed, or one of them is closed,
(05:54):
or one of them moved. I'm not sure, but I
just saw that yesterday on Google when you google it.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
So they've been for for a long time. They never
liked each other.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
I mean, I think it probably is about that.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
You know, you're talking about my business, my restaurant, because
sometimes that does hurt a business when somebody says something
nasty and then it makes people be like, I'm not
going there. You know, trust me, I know it's not
easy to run, Yeah, a business you know too. And
then Young Miami versus Lizzo. I love the fact that
the two of them were able to talk to each other.
Young Miami was on Club Shayshaye and said, this feel like.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Society push women to get cogntic surgery.
Speaker 10 (06:29):
When you got a naturate, you like a little boy.
When you do get to BBO, it's like, oh my god,
your body face. It's like if you natural to hate you,
if you got to bebo, they hte you what what
what do you want? I'm gonna just use this Lizzo
for is it. Yeah, everybody was ah, oh my gosh,
she's so bad.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
She looks so good.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Now now it's by oh my god, you all right.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
Well, Lizzo called Young Miami while she was streaming and
questioned her about that.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
And here's what happened.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
What is the EU.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I have to know before, like your wait loss, people
used to be like, oh my god, she need to
lose weight too bad.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
That's not cute.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
That's what I was pertaining. So people always have something
to say. Give me that woman is like me to
lose weight, lean, lose weight, and it's like, oh my god,
I don't look good on her.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
It's them if you do them if you don't.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
So yeah, I did feel like in that clip she
wasn't shading Lizzo. She was basically saying, y'all bullied this woman.
And then now you know, now you're like, she looks amazing,
but some people are still like, EO, she looked better.
When you know, it's like you can't win, so you
got to do what you want to do for yourself.
But I love that they cleared that up because maybe
people in the comments can also make you have beef
for somebody when there's no real beef. All right, when
(07:32):
we come back about last night, we'll discuss what we
did last night. I was in Detroit over the weekend.

And this happened when I was in the ninth grade.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Okay, happened one day my aunt she had me come over.
Speaker 8 (11:08):
She wanted to go out this night, and she had
me come over and keep my little cousin. So I
think she was in maybe like the eighth grade or something.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
I was in the ninth.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
But when she left, I had invited my.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Boyfriend over, and that happens.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
He came over. He thought two other dudes that I
do from school with him, even though nothing much really happened,
we were just they were just kind of roaming around
the house, kind of being nosy. But I didn't get
no attention. So then the next day happened to be
my family reunion, and so we went to the family
reunion and he's just kind of like texting me, just
tell me like.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
Oh he want to see me, or what time will
I be back home?
Speaker 8 (11:40):
And me still not picking using of it, and I'm,
you know, descding, I'm telling him I won't be home
till late to night because it's the family reunion and stuff,
so maybe I could spe you. Afterwards, when we came
back from the family reunion, I came went back to
my aunt's house with her, and she had seen that
her window was busted, and they came in and they
cleaned her house. Gosh, clease it out to everything they took.
(12:04):
They took even to my shoes and clothes that.

But still to this day, she do not know this secret.
And I'm like, I dregged. I'm never gonna kill her.
I just feel like I gotta pay her back. Then
I tell her, you know that is well.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
First of all, I don't know if you're ever going
to tell her that's crazy.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
They broke in and though everything while y'all were in there,
and she just thought it was a random breaking everything.
Speaker 8 (12:35):
Yes, she thought it was just a random and the
police came and everything. And I'm just telling telling my
little cousin like, dude, say nothing, don't say nothing, and
she was just like them, she was, so I say,

I'm sure when you hear this, you don't crack her.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
And so now what did you do after that? Did
you try to like talk to them like listen, bring

Speaker 8 (12:56):
Oh my god, yes I was. I'm just tracking him
the whole time. He just ignored me. I don't know,

so crazy was my shoes that they had. So one

Speaker 4 (13:10):
He's wore your shoes.
Speaker 8 (13:12):
Yeah, so my dad had just bought me some little
que air Force one.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
They was like a boy.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
The boy is kind of Oh my god Facebook.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
They lucky you didn't go to the cops.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
I know I still have not I think about it,
but you know they got that comera. I'll think a
couple of them in jail right now.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
That is wild.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yo.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
All right, well, thank you for sharing. That's crazy. Can
you imagine? No problem?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
All right?
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Well that was tell us a secret eight hundred two
ninety two fifty one fifty just in case you couldn't
get through.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
I see what though, she didn't go to.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
The cops because she didn't want to have to tell
her aunt that it was her fault and that's really
what it.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Was like else that's a hell of a secret though.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
When we come back, we got your yet and we'll
talk about Rennie Ruti versus Black Zach and that ending
is being documented for all of us to see.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
We'll talk about it. Apparently he kicked her out of
the house.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
It's way up the lead ab off this spot. Just
get it, angelus feeling that yee tea, Come and get
the tea.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
It's way up at Angela. Yee, I'm here.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
I know that's right. Mayo's here, So let's get into
this tea. Renni Roucie versus Black Zach. I do want
to say that they did come up here and do
way up together previous, but.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Now it looks like there's some drama now.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
I've also had Renny Ruccie like four years ago on
lip service, and there always have been rumors that she
used to date Kevin Gates or whatever. That was kind
of a long time ago. They'd done music together. I
don't know if they really did or didn't, or they
did music together, but Kevin Gates mentions Rennie Roucie in
a new song kind of apologizing for how we treated her.
It's called same way and I admit it. Okay, So
(14:58):
I want to say, and I told you this, listen
to that we have children.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
I thought he was saying he has children and she has.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
So because yes, so because we both have kids and
our kids are watching, we gotta, you know, let's keep
it respectful.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
That's what I interpreted it.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
So people taking it another way.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
But people are taking it like, oh, that's not uh,
you know black Zach's baby, that's Kevin Gate's baby. And
so ready Rutie went live and she said she went
live because I guess she's saying that black Zach wanted
her to clear things up on live.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
And here's what happened during their live. I ain't cheat,
and I didn't know cheating period years ago.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
I know you are.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I know you are, and I will that's.
Speaker 10 (15:43):
Out old or nothing about the change from.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Five years ago. It's the same song five years ago.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
So that sounds like an ego thing. He's saying. That
song has people thinking that that kid might not be his.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
So Commas probably stilled to get to him.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
M hm.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
And he's reacting.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Now, let me ask you this, do you think that
Kevin Gate shouldn't have done that right now, like because
she said the song's five years old, he put it out.
Now they just yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
The song, the song didn't come out five years ago.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Now it's an old song, but he just put it out.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
And see I didn't know that that changes the whole dynamic.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Yeah, so oh wow, because I have to think in
his head he knows it's going to cause some issues.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Oh wow. See I didn't know that.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
I thought the song came kind of like the pictures
you put up of all the women visiting you. Yeah,
even though that's old, Yeah, visiting you in prison?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Would you prove me?
Speaker 5 (16:36):
I know that caused some fights at home, like because
you know whether or not she did, Like what if
she never mentioned that, you know they had a whatever.
But he's apologizing, so I guess what he's saying is
they did have a relationship and he just wasn't that
great to her. Now, when Rennie Ruccie and Black Zach
were on way up with Angela, yeah, it felt like
everything was going to be all good.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
They fell in love fast. Here's what they said.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
I had got his main tattooed on them beack of
our leg I'm posting it.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
How long was it before you got the tattoo that
y'all have been dating? Maybe? Like, what's it, amunket?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I told your thing mover fast?
Speaker 4 (17:10):
How did you know that she was the one?
Speaker 11 (17:12):
Just like how difference she made me feel like like
she made me want to do right, That's how I
knew it had to be something.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Now he kicking her out a hundred times of the house.
That's why it's hard.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Man.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
We got a kid together. You kids just kicked me
out the house. And she got two other kids too.
That's three kids right there.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
And when you with the women who has children, you
also are the person that's going to be in their
life as a father figure.
Speaker 11 (17:33):
All right, Right, But see the whole thing changed now
because she's saying is five years old.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
But is the song actually really five years old?
Speaker 4 (17:41):
He just put it out now.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
I don't know. Maybe he's referencing something that happened back then.
But anyway, that is your et. I'm sure we'll hear
more about it because it's so public now when we
come back. We have your under the radar, the stories
that are not necessarily in the headlines. They're flying under
the radar, but you need to know about them. Oh,
here's some fifty cent in the club. It's way up.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
It's in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
It's way up with Angela yee, I'm here, my guy
mad and it's time for those under the radar stories.
This one affects me. This hurts so. Coffee drinkers here
in the US can expect rising prices because of global
supply chains. You know, things are costing more money now.
Coffee roasters who took their chances in the future markets
(18:24):
are feeling the burn that price could pass off to customers. Traditionally,
companies invest in the future market in hopes of securing
a lower cost. But the price of coffee just keeps
on climbing. In February of twenty twenty five, the average
price of ground roast coffee roads to a record high
of seven dollars and twenty five cents a pound.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
So we'll see what happens with that. But that's tough.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Wow, coffee is going up.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
And now there's tariffs, the weather and crop growth, all
of them have impacted coffee prices.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
They said.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
In twenty twenty four, the world's largest coffee producers, so
on influx and climate related impacts on their crops, so
less crops, higher prices, tariffs, all of those things are
going to make a difference.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
It's hard to have to pass that cost on.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
People don't understand because everybody's pockets are hurting right now, right,
all right now. LIFT is going to be rolling out
robotaxis in Atlanta using self driving technology. They already have
those in at least for US City, LA and Arizona. Yeah,
they have it in Phoenix, LA. They have it in
(19:29):
San Francisco and Austin, and they're planning to expand to
Miami in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Have you I know a couple of people who tried it.
Have you ever tried it?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I never tried it. I want you though.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
I saw one when I was in San Francisco. I
saw the actual way.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Mom seen it in Phoenix.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
MM hm, would you try it?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I would.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Well, they're going to be hitting the streets of Atlanta.
Users will be able to take rides in those self
driving cars starting this summer, and that's going to be
in partnership with May Mobility. Self driving technology will be
installed in Toyota Siena minivan and users will have the
chance to take rides.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
So the cause that we drive are going to be
able to do this.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
What's gonna happen to the drivers.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Nothing, We're gonna sit in the back show.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
The drivers are gonna say, I don't know, man, this
is crazy. All right, Well that is your under the radar.
We do have the way it mix. At the top
of the hour plus straight from Trinidad, we got Nyla
Blackman joining us. She's got a new song called feels
Like Love that I really enjoy. We'll be talking to her.
It's way up. She's like the talk like they Angela Jean,
(20:32):
like they Angela Jean.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Man, she's spilling it all. This is yet way up.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
It's way up at Angela.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Yee, I'm here Mano's here you outside and shout out
to Kendrick Lamara. GNX is the first rap album to
sell one million units in the US in twenty twenty five,
so that's a big deal. Played by Cardi in the
meantime is topping the Billboard two hundred with music, but
he is disputing the first week sales now so academic
(21:00):
said Playboycardi music sales two hundred ninety eight thousand. First
week it was debut number one, and then he posted
three hundred twenty So I think it has to do
it like bundling and things like that and trying to
figure how.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
That works out.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
But I do feel like all of the drama of
Kanye's back and forth that also helps with awareness too.
So as much as you want to he Kanye wants
to be mad, all he did was really like boost
engagement when it came to that. All right, Trina's husband,
Swerve just recently got arrested, But this is for an
incident back in twenty twenty three and a lleged assault
(21:37):
that happened nearly two years ago. According to this police report.
He just got arrested March twentieth, Thursday in Miami. At
the time, a man said he was crossing the street
when this black Dodge Charger suddenly stopped in front of
a stop sign, and that caused the unidentified man's hand
to hit the trunk, and he said that Swerve became
aggressive when he apposed the vehicle and followed him to
(21:59):
a nearby resident and that's where punched him multiple times
and fractured his nose. But they are saying, there is
surveillance footage of this altercation.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
If somebody did that to you, would you follow them?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Probably not.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
I would probably if he wanted to, like you know,
press to or whatever, because when you follow somebody, they
don't know what you're following them for. Like differently, it
could definitely go differently. So I don't know, but we'll see,
all right now, Tracy T and Cash Doll. Cash Doll
has certainly moved on. Well, it looks like Tracy T
is tired of people saying that he fumbled the relationship
(22:32):
and you know, hoping that he's okay.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
And here's what he had to say.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
He found your thumb with ain't gonna know.
Speaker 11 (22:39):
Hey, man, you drop something to pick some up, So
don't don't don't talk to.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Me what I about what I fumbled and dropped the loss.
I moved on.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Life goes on.
Speaker 11 (22:47):
Keys get grown, Keys get grown.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Sounds like a song. And I know it's interesting because
you're cool with that.
Speaker 11 (22:55):
Yeah, shout out to Tracy T. Yeah, they came and
hung out with us. I want to say, last summer,
you know, and you know we had them out here.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
They came bowler with.
Speaker 11 (23:03):
Us, and I thought everything was good, but you know,
this is how life is. You know, life moves on,
kids get grown, you know, drop something to pick it up.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
I mean, I know, cash out way better.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
It seemed they seem like it was really gonna they
both was cool.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I always wait till my relationships start.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Man, Listen, if I be friend whoever you end up
in a relationship with, I can't break up my friendship.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
As you know what I'm saying, this is it death
because I hate when guys do that.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
They make you become friends with their wife or their girl,
like not that one. Yeah, it'd be like I don't
want to now what I'm supposed to do, and I'm befriend.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Of the person? Is it? This is what took me
so long?
Speaker 4 (23:37):
You know what?
Speaker 5 (23:38):
On that note, when we come back, let's do a
Monday maynovation. Yeah, that's what we need.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
We need a little mainn ovation from you.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
As you're contemplating and pondering what what this mystery woman
is going to be like in your future, we also
need a little mainnovation.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
The world's been crazy and it's time for some It's
way up.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
About this long as the famous women in radioIO and
we're talking about Angela. Ye, you're way up with angela Ye.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Please believe that.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
It's way up at Angela.
Speaker 9 (24:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
I'm here, yeah yeah, And.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
It's time for some Monday, you know, yeah, shine.
Speaker 9 (24:14):
You know.
Speaker 11 (24:14):
And I was inspired by something somebody called up here
and said today. They said, please do not, under no circumstances,
allow anybody to get you out of your zone, to
take you out of your character. And sometimes that happens.
We're all human, and every now and then we allow
somebody to bite on our skin, and then we engage
with them, you understand, And then it's like, you know,
(24:36):
we we vibrate a little lower than we should be
because we allow something to happen.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
But then you.
Speaker 11 (24:42):
Realize that that's not the motion, right, you know, because
in this in this life and on this journey, you're
gonna have people coming at you and have people saying
things about you. What you gotta maintain, you gotta you
gotta don't allow people to get you too far out
of your character.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
And that happens all the time.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Because social media people have so much access YouTube, people
do things, say things, leave comments, and you want to
clap back.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
So every now and then I bike back.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
I snapped back, Okay, okay, you know, but you know,
and you're right that call it when he called up
today is basically saying that you know, we can't We
can only control kind of what we do.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
I can't control where anybody says.
Speaker 11 (25:27):
Control what nobody says. I can't control what you think
about me, And frankly, I don't even care. So I mean, look,
standing your zone, stand your mold, stand your cost, stay driving,
don't worry about what's going on to the left or
to the right, or you keep focused, keep pushing a
little bit of my innovation.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
No hesitation in any situal, asshin.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
Because sometimes you want to go in on somebody and
be like you corny, like you belaving the corniest stupidest things,
and you want to just.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I go, I go, and I go further than that.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Yeah, you do take it low.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
It may also may even record a whole video, and
I'd be like, mana, what are you doing?
Speaker 12 (26:05):
Yeah, because you know when they when they they what's
the same when they when they go low, you take
it to the floor, take to the basement.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
You take it to the basement.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
No, we'll stop it.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Okay, let's yeah. Now the real thing is when they
go low.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
We go way up there, go way up, you go.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
I know that's right. Well that was your Monday May innovation.
Remember that when they go low, you go way up.
That's right, way up to the sky, to heaven, to heaven,
God got us.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
That's right, all right.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
Well, anyway with that Monday May innovation, when we come
back along those notes, we do have ask ye eight
hundred two nine two fifty one fifty.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Any question you have.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
I'm here with the award winning advice giving mainnovator Mayo himself.
Eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty is a number.
And don't forget after that, Nyla Blackman is going to
be joining us straight from Trinidad. We love her so talented.
You know, new music is feeling like love out here
feels like love. So all of that going on. But again,
(27:07):
ask Yee is next eight hundred two nine two fifty
one fifty.
Speaker 6 (27:11):
Whether it's relationship for career advice, Angela's dropping facts, you
should know. This is ask gee?
Speaker 4 (27:17):
What's up his way up? At Angela Yee?
Speaker 5 (27:18):

Speaker 4 (27:24):
And today we have Tania on the line. What's up
to Nia?
Speaker 9 (27:27):
Hi?
Speaker 7 (27:27):
How are you good?
Speaker 4 (27:28):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I'm hanging in there.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
My question for you is, I've been in a relationship
with this person for twelve years, damn, and I feel
like that it's time whether this relationship it has come
to an end for me. I mean, I want to
just be blunt with him and just tell him like
you know, I don't love you, don't want to be
in tolam, I don't want to be mean to him,
(27:51):
and I just need a little advice. How should I
you know, take.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
It to him?
Speaker 2 (27:54):
You see somebody else honest at this time?
Speaker 5 (27:58):
So what is it about this relation? She said, after
twelve years that you're over ending.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
I just feel like he is real, insecure. He gravitates
to me. He always wants me right there with him.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
He don't never want me to go nowhere like a
child for me.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
Yeah, I'm forty eight and he just turned sixty four.
So it's like he's trying to mold me into what
he wants me to be. And to know, I'm not
liking that.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
To be his mother where that's the thing to me?
Speaker 5 (28:27):
I have a question for twelve years you were with him?
Was he always like this?
Speaker 2 (28:31):
He's been like this.
Speaker 7 (28:33):
I just kind of like overlooked it and pushed it
up under the rug and just kept.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Going, does he satisfy you in the bed? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (28:40):
He good at that?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
So she's like, that's why I was here for this long.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
That's not enough to stay.
Speaker 9 (28:47):
Right.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
When you don't want to be in a relationship with
somebody and you get frustrated, it doesn't make it easy
for them either, right, because then we end up being
kind of nasty, rude. Everything they do is annoying and
they're not getting the love that they should get either.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
And so honesty and kind of having.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
To step away if this is what you know you
want to do, is the best way, because you're not
doing nobody a favor by staying with somebody you don't
want to be with, and you're just gonna have an
attitude while you're there.
Speaker 7 (29:15):
I thank you for that. I've been thinking on and
I just I guess I just want to hear from
someone else.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
You ever cheated on him?
Speaker 7 (29:21):
No, he just cheated on me, though.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
So this is how you do this. I'm give you.
Speaker 11 (29:25):
I'm gonna give you some pointers on how you can
get rid of this relationship without being so disrespectful.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
You can either.
Speaker 12 (29:31):
Slide in my DMS or any God's DMS that you
want and then get into like a back and forth
conversation and then kind of like let him see that
it like it was a mistake.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
No, don't do that. And look, at the end of
the day, we all deserve happiness. You deserve happiness, and
I know you care about him enough to know that
he deserves it. It just won't be with you. Some
other woman would love being up under him all the time.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
Well, I really appreciate it. Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
All Right, you could try that DM thing. You gonna
help you out. I'm telling you, I get the best advice.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
Let man, No, definitely won't have you all up under
him because he can't. All right, Well, they.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
All like women.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Hey, all right, Well that was asked eight hundred two
nine two fifty one fifty just in case you couldn't
get through. And when we come back, our girl, Nyla
black Men is in the building. She's amazing. She's a
Trinidadian singer, songwriters, soca artists. But she's more than just soka.
She is a whole lot of genres and you can
really hear it with her new single that's out right
(30:34):
now feels like love.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
It's way up, turn me up here we go up through.
Speaker 6 (30:40):
This is way up with Angela ye?
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Well, what's up? His way up with Angela yee?
Speaker 5 (30:45):
And as promised, because I've run into you a couple
of times and been saying I need you on to
show Nyla.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Black Men is here.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
I ho you. I'm good.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Well, you look soap every time I see you, though
I don't think you're ever not camera ready.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Thank you. I definitely love myself some clothes.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
You're also doing the Roots Picnic this year. That's gonna
be big.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
That's gonna be huge. I'm really excited for it.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
How is Carnival this year?
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Carnival was like how Carnival usually is a lot. Somebody
described it best like a million mini croachellas. Okay, it
was just so many events. The energy was high. There
was a lot going on.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
I haven't been to Trinidad Carnival yet, but everybody says
that's the one.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Well we are the beginning, so the mecca.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Yeah, okay, So aside from Trinidad, if you had to say,
where's the best carnival after that?
Speaker 4 (31:35):
What would you put second?
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Oh my god, you're gonna get me in trouble for you.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
It's an opinion.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Okay, Wow, I definitely think it would be Jamaica.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
Okay, yeah, I'm talking to Nyla Blackman right now, Trinidadian superstar.
So I want to talk about just some more of
the beginnings of the music. First of all, working with Cass, Yeah,
I think he's like the nicest person in addition to
being super talented and Cass the band. So talk to
me about that collaboration and work out and how that
even came about.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
That was at the beginning of everything. I was eighteen
years old and I was in school.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Utt.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
I was doing my degree and I agree with music
bachelor's and the performing arts. Yeah, I was doing opera
and I have no time for myself. I have no
time to do my music. So I asked my mom
to drop out of school. She was like, hell no,
and I was like, you know, let me try Soca music.
She said to me, Okay, let's make a deal. You
could take one semester off of school and then do
(32:38):
Carnival and then go right back. That was nice. I
was like, deal, I want to many different producers and
they all said no, don't do socer, it'll spoil you.
And I'm like, okay, I don't know you. Maybe they
thought the industry was too aggressive for the kind of
quiet personality I had. And I was like, no, I
want to do it because my grandfather's the creative the genre.
(32:58):
So I asked everybody and everybody told me no. And
I went to Aunts and and I said, would you
do a Sosco? He's like, oh my god, I thought
you'd never ask. And that same day we created workouts.
And two weeks later, I was in a studio session
by another producer and Cas came to record some songs
and I was like, oh my god, fancy.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Seeing you here.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
This is how it was supposed to go.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
You know.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
And I told him I sent you a song. Did
you hear it? He's like no, I didn't. And I
was like, let me play it for you right now.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
And I read.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
I literally just like bombarded him, and he was like, oh,
like I don't even know this girl, you know. I
sat him right then. I watched him and I was like,
so what do you think? And he was like, it's
a really good song, and I was like, yeah, so
he decided that he do the song with me.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
That's amazing.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
Yeah, And that's that being assertive, because you know that
can be intimidating. You run into the person you don't
know him. Yeah, but I wouldn't think that people already
knew who you were.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
No, he didn't know who I was, but he knew
who my family was. Yeah, he knew you my family.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
I know you said your mom said you could take
you know, a little time. Did you end up going
back to school?
Speaker 6 (34:04):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Hell no, I did not one semester.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
After that semester, everything went so crazy that year of
twenty seventy. You know, I kid you not. I'm not
over exaggeration by these numbers. I did three hundred and
seventy five shoes.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
That's wild.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Nyla Blackman is here, her family is royalty in Trinidad,
for real.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
We got more with her when we come back. It's
way up.
Speaker 6 (34:29):
It's way up with Angela.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Ye.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
Let's go.
Speaker 6 (34:32):
You are a media maven, right, you.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Never know what Ange's gonna say.
Speaker 5 (34:36):
What's up as way up at Angela yee, and I
am talking to the superstar from Trinidad.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Nyla Blackman. All right, now let's talk about new music.
Feels like love.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
That is, that's a nice feel good song. And You
have Ry was on there, and I was wondering the connection,
but then I saw you met him at Caravana. It
sounds great, but I also was like, well, how did
this even happen?
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Well, the thing about it is that he's Guyanese, so
there's that Caribbean connection there. This song is very down
soul influenced, but it's it's more like like a pop
dance aul kind of vibe, and he still brings that
kind of arm and B hip hop flavor on it,
and it still has a little Caribbean twang. So the
melting pot on this record is so beautiful, Like it's
(35:21):
so beautiful and it's very flirty, very chill vibe. So
I love it.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
And the album is called Born a Diamond Bad, So
that is definitely coming out later this year. Yes, okay,
I can already tell just from what I've heard so far,
it is going.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
To be It's gonna be amazing.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (35:38):
Is it done or mostly done?
Speaker 3 (35:39):
It's mostly done. I'm really excited for this project because
it's so colled, but it's not it's world music.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
Do you feel like right now the Caribbean is in
a great space when it comes to the global platform
of music because I feel like so many people are
borrowing from the influence.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Yeah, one hundred percent. Caribbean music has been thriving for
a while now, and off Flava is unmatched. Off Flava
is something that is so unique and it's always something
that's gonna get the blood moving. And even though people
know the Caribbeans sound, it's still an on top market,
you know, it's still something that's yet to explode.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
I'm talking to Nyla Blackman right now, Trinidadian superstar.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
Congratulations to you.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
I'm really excited for you and I'm glad we had
a chance to sit down and have a conversation. And
I know what, dude, I know every time I see you, like,
when are we gonna do it? But no, honestly, when
the album comes out to we got to make sure
we get like some exclusives, you.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Know, and not to sit down would be nice indeed.
Speaker 5 (36:36):
But I appreciate you so much and congratulations for everything,
just because you're not just a talented artist, but you
do so much to give back and it's authentic and
I love that because some people feel like just because
I'm an artist, that doesn't make me a role model.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
I don't have to do X, Y and Z.
Speaker 5 (36:49):
But clearly it's something that you take the time out
of your three hundred and thousand shows a year.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
To be able to do that, and that's, oh my god.
Speaker 5 (36:56):
That's important. But you also got to take care of
yourself exactly.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
I feel the importance of that this year, especially because
as a musician and as a creative, you find that
you don't have the creative energy that you require. If
you're you're spread to sin and you can fill other
people if you're full, you know what I mean. You
can't fill other people if you're empty. So just for
(37:20):
everyone listening on be selfless, give back and I'm just
grateful for all the blessings.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
But thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (37:27):
Now that black Ma, make sure you guys follow her.
We're excited for the album this summer. Yes, okay, all right,
I'm not going to ask you a day because it
could change, but congratulations.

with the word bitch is the last word on Way
Up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 5 (38:02):
What's up his way up at Angela Yee. I'm here
with my guy Maino. I do want to say a
leader today. I'm actually going to be at my coffee shop,
Coffee Uplifts People, and I'm going to be talking to
some entrepreneurs about hiring and having employees and you know
the most effective ways to do it, because you know,
I use the recruiter and that's how I've hired some
of the staff that I have at Coffee Uplifts people.
(38:24):
It's one of the easiest ways to get that done.
And making sure that people have the right qualifications. It's
kind of like dating or using a realtor to find
a house.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
You want to make sure you're getting site.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
Yeah, it is getting exactly what you need, you know,
but it actually I think more like having a realtor
because having a realtor, They'll only show you the properties
that you are looking for a certain things like if
I want a three bedroom, don't show me a one bedroom.
And speaking of that, I'm also going to be in Memphis.
I have an event that's going to be happening for
the Black Developers Housing Summit, and that's going to be

And today this story is gonna make you feel really good.
I love a story of perseverance. And you never know
when your time is coming. But j c Escata, he
was driving uber and he was doing odd jobs. He
was a substitute teacher, all of those things to help
pay his bills. While he was playing independent ball for
(01:43):
two years. He was making about four hundred dollars every
two weeks in indie ball. He was playing overseas, playing
renter A ball, doing all these different jobs, and he
had thought for a period of time that maybe it's
not gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
He was going to hang it up.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
But he got called into the office at stein Bernerfield,
and at first he thought that it was going to
be bad news. It wasn't anybody else in the room,
so he felt like, oh, it's not really a celebration.
Aaron Boom was the person who was speaking to him
and framing the conversation as a difficult one, talking about
the organization and the catching depth in the organization, but
(02:17):
then told him that he was going to the big
leagues now, a Scotta said, it feels amazing a lot
of time coming. I was just grateful to be here
at first, and now my dreams come true. Now is
the easy part. Now it's just played baseball on the
biggest stage. So I'm excited for what's to come. He
also has a baby on the way. He celebrated with
his wife on Saturday night. He's going to be a
dad in June. And so by tomorrow the Yankees are
(02:40):
going to be playing the Marlins. And so he grew
up near Miami, So what an amazing story. Let's shine

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Right, Well, thank you for calling.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Thank you thank you well. That was shining Light eight
hundred two nine two fifty one fifty. If you couldn't
get through, you can leave a message for a last word,
and let's shift gears. Candy Burrs versus Tamar Braxton. Man,
the two of them have been going at it. I
can't believe this because I feel like they both are
so talented and have so much going on.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
But we'll tell you what's happening. That had the two
of them riled up.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Its way up, they says, troop in the rooms from
industry shade to all of gossip out send Angelas feeling
that yet all right.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
His way up with Angela. Yee, I'm here, my guy,
Mana is here right now, and uh, let's get into this,
ye t.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
I gotta started off with saying a rest in peace
to George Foreman. He passed away at the age of
seventy six world heavyweight boxing champion. But of course them
Foreman grills went crazy. I just watched the movie about
his life.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I've seen that movie.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Yeah, when I was on the plane. So there was
an announcement on.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
His page that said, our hurts are broken with profound sorrow.
We announced the passing of our beloved George Edward Foreman, Senior,
who peacefully departed on March twenty first, twenty twenty five,
surrounded by loved ones. All Right, so shout out to him.
And we knew him as a commentator as well. So again,
a beautiful life that he had. All right, Now, let's
(04:30):
get into this Candy Burs versus Tamar Braxton, the two
of them, it feels like due to old things that
have been said, this beef has been reignited. And Candy
was doing an interview for Entertainment tonight, doing an exclusive chat,
and the interviewer brought up Old Lady Gang Restaurant and
(04:52):
what Tamar had to say about the restaurant, and Candy
responded about Tamar, listen to what happened.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
I don't believe that she's still I'm not playing games
with clowns, like you're not Finna, I'm not gonna be
in the circus.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
But she usually are like, we're not doing that ever
a game?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
All right?
Speaker 9 (05:08):
Now.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Previously, Tamar had said some things about Candy's Old Lady
Gang restaurant, said nobody's checking for it. She called the
spot nasty, and she said it is a known thing
here in Atlanta, and she said when people are considering
stopping at a spot for food, nobody thinks about Old
Lady Gang and.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
So on and so forth.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
So she did clear things up after that, and she
said it was when people shared that clip.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
She said it was a three year old video.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
I don't know how it came to see the light
of day, but apparently the two of them are still
not getting alonger than Tamar posted a clip of Candy
singing and put a clown emoji on fire, So that's
what's going on with the two of them. I also
saw people saying that Old Lady Gang is closed. I
know they had more than one location, so I don't
know if they're all closed, or one of them is closed,
(05:54):
or one of them moved. I'm not sure, but I
just saw that yesterday on Google when you google it.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
So they've been for for a long time. They never
liked each other.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
I mean, I think it probably is about that.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
You know, you're talking about my business, my restaurant, because
sometimes that does hurt a business when somebody says something
nasty and then it makes people be like, I'm not
going there. You know, trust me, I know it's not
easy to run, Yeah, a business you know too. And
then Young Miami versus Lizzo. I love the fact that
the two of them were able to talk to each other.
Young Miami was on Club Shayshaye and said, this feel like.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Society push women to get cogntic surgery.
Speaker 10 (06:29):
When you got a naturate, you like a little boy.
When you do get to BBO, it's like, oh my god,
your body face. It's like if you natural to hate you,
if you got to bebo, they hte you what what
what do you want? I'm gonna just use this Lizzo
for is it. Yeah, everybody was ah, oh my gosh,
she's so bad.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
She looks so good.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Now now it's by oh my god, you all right.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
Well, Lizzo called Young Miami while she was streaming and
questioned her about that.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
And here's what happened.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
What is the EU.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I have to know before, like your wait loss, people
used to be like, oh my god, she need to
lose weight too bad.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
That's not cute.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
That's what I was pertaining. So people always have something
to say. Give me that woman is like me to
lose weight, lean, lose weight, and it's like, oh my god,
I don't look good on her.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
It's them if you do them if you don't.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
So yeah, I did feel like in that clip she
wasn't shading Lizzo. She was basically saying, y'all bullied this woman.
And then now you know, now you're like, she looks amazing,
but some people are still like, EO, she looked better.
When you know, it's like you can't win, so you
got to do what you want to do for yourself.
But I love that they cleared that up because maybe
people in the comments can also make you have beef
for somebody when there's no real beef. All right, when
(07:32):
we come back about last night, we'll discuss what we
did last night. I was in Detroit over the weekend.

And this happened when I was in the ninth grade.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Okay, happened one day my aunt she had me come over.
Speaker 8 (11:08):
She wanted to go out this night, and she had
me come over and keep my little cousin. So I
think she was in maybe like the eighth grade or something.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
I was in the ninth.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
But when she left, I had invited my.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Boyfriend over, and that happens.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
He came over. He thought two other dudes that I
do from school with him, even though nothing much really happened,
we were just they were just kind of roaming around
the house, kind of being nosy. But I didn't get
no attention. So then the next day happened to be
my family reunion, and so we went to the family
reunion and he's just kind of like texting me, just
tell me like.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
Oh he want to see me, or what time will

And me still not picking using of it, and I'm,
you know, descding, I'm telling him I won't be home
till late to night because it's the family reunion and stuff,
so maybe I could spe you. Afterwards, when we came
back from the family reunion, I came went back to
my aunt's house with her, and she had seen that
her window was busted, and they came in and they
cleaned her house. Gosh, clease it out to everything they took.
(12:04):

But still to this day, she do not know this secret.
And I'm like, I dregged. I'm never gonna kill her.
I just feel like I gotta pay her back. Then
I tell her, you know that is well.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
First of all, I don't know if you're ever going
to tell her that's crazy.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
They broke in and though everything while y'all were in there,
and she just thought it was a random breaking everything.
Speaker 8 (12:35):
Yes, she thought it was just a random and the
police came and everything. And I'm just telling telling my
little cousin like, dude, say nothing, don't say nothing, and
she was just like them, she was, so I say,
not this your real one. Still to this day. And
I'm sure when you hear this, you don't crack her.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
And so now what did you do after that? Did
you try to like talk to them like listen, bring
like I know y'all did it?
Speaker 8 (12:56):
Oh my god, yes I was. I'm just tracking him
the whole time. He just ignored me. I don't know,
Like this is like two thousand and nine. And what's
so crazy was my shoes that they had. So one
of the boys uploaded a picture on Facebook with them on.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
He's wore your shoes.
Speaker 8 (13:12):
Yeah, so my dad had just bought me some little
que air Force one.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
They was like a boy.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
The boy is kind of Oh my god Facebook.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
They lucky you didn't go to the cops.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
I know I still have not I think about it,
but you know they got that comera. I'll think a
couple of them in jail right now.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
That is wild.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yo.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
All right, well, thank you for sharing. That's crazy. Can
you imagine? No problem?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
All right?
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Well that was tell us a secret eight hundred two
ninety two fifty one fifty just in case you couldn't
get through.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
I see what though, she didn't go to.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
The cops because she didn't want to have to tell
her aunt that it was her fault and that's really
what it.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Was like else that's a hell of a secret though.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
When we come back, we got your yet and we'll
talk about Rennie Ruti versus Black Zach and that ending
is being documented for all of us to see.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
We'll talk about it. Apparently he kicked her out of
the house.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
It's way up the lead ab off this spot. Just
get it, angelus feeling that yee tea, Come and get
the tea.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
It's way up at Angela. Yee, I'm here.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
I know that's right. Mayo's here, So let's get into
this tea. Renni Roucie versus Black Zach. I do want
to say that they did come up here and do
way up together previous, but.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Now it looks like there's some drama now.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
I've also had Renny Ruccie like four years ago on
lip service, and there always have been rumors that she
used to date Kevin Gates or whatever. That was kind
of a long time ago. They'd done music together. I
don't know if they really did or didn't, or they
did music together, but Kevin Gates mentions Rennie Roucie in
a new song kind of apologizing for how we treated her.
It's called same way and I admit it. Okay, So
(14:58):
I want to say, and I told you this, listen
to that we have children.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
I thought he was saying he has children and she has.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
So because yes, so because we both have kids and
our kids are watching, we gotta, you know, let's keep
it respectful.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
That's what I interpreted it.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
So people taking it another way.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
But people are taking it like, oh, that's not uh,
you know black Zach's baby, that's Kevin Gate's baby. And
so ready Rutie went live and she said she went
live because I guess she's saying that black Zach wanted
her to clear things up on live.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
And here's what happened during their live. I ain't cheat,
and I didn't know cheating period years ago.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
I know you are.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I know you are, and I will that's.
Speaker 10 (15:43):
Out old or nothing about the change from.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Five years ago. It's the same song five years ago.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
So that sounds like an ego thing. He's saying. That
song has people thinking that that kid might not be his.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
So Commas probably stilled to get to him.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
M hm.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
And he's reacting.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Now, let me ask you this, do you think that
Kevin Gate shouldn't have done that right now, like because
she said the song's five years old, he put it out.
Now they just yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
The song, the song didn't come out five years ago.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Now it's an old song, but he just put it out.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
And see I didn't know that that changes the whole dynamic.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Yeah, so oh wow, because I have to think in
his head he knows it's going to cause some issues.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Oh wow. See I didn't know that.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
I thought the song came kind of like the pictures
you put up of all the women visiting you. Yeah,
even though that's old, Yeah, visiting you in prison?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Would you prove me?
Speaker 5 (16:36):
I know that caused some fights at home, like because
you know whether or not she did, Like what if
she never mentioned that, you know they had a whatever.
But he's apologizing, so I guess what he's saying is
they did have a relationship and he just wasn't that
great to her. Now, when Rennie Ruccie and Black Zach
were on way up with Angela, yeah, it felt like
everything was going to be all good.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
They fell in love fast. Here's what they said.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
I had got his main tattooed on them beack of
our leg I'm posting it.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
How long was it before you got the tattoo that
y'all have been dating? Maybe? Like, what's it, amunket?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I told your thing mover fast?
Speaker 4 (17:10):
How did you know that she was the one?
Speaker 11 (17:12):
Just like how difference she made me feel like like
she made me want to do right, That's how I
knew it had to be something.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Now he kicking her out a hundred times of the house.
That's why it's hard.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Man.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
We got a kid together. You kids just kicked me
out the house. And she got two other kids too.
That's three kids right there.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
And when you with the women who has children, you
also are the person that's going to be in their
life as a father figure.
Speaker 11 (17:33):
All right, Right, But see the whole thing changed now
because she's saying is five years old.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
But is the song actually really five years old?
Speaker 4 (17:41):
He just put it out now.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
I don't know. Maybe he's referencing something that happened back then.
But anyway, that is your et. I'm sure we'll hear
more about it because it's so public now when we
come back. We have your under the radar, the stories
that are not necessarily in the headlines. They're flying under
the radar, but you need to know about them. Oh,
here's some fifty cent in the club. It's way up.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
It's in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
It's way up with Angela yee, I'm here, my guy
mad and it's time for those under the radar stories.
This one affects me. This hurts so. Coffee drinkers here
in the US can expect rising prices because of global
supply chains. You know, things are costing more money now.
Coffee roasters who took their chances in the future markets
(18:24):
are feeling the burn that price could pass off to customers. Traditionally,
companies invest in the future market in hopes of securing
a lower cost. But the price of coffee just keeps
on climbing. In February of twenty twenty five, the average
price of ground roast coffee roads to a record high
of seven dollars and twenty five cents a pound.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
So we'll see what happens with that. But that's tough.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Wow, coffee is going up.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
And now there's tariffs, the weather and crop growth, all
of them have impacted coffee prices.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
They said.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
In twenty twenty four, the world's largest coffee producers, so
on influx and climate related impacts on their crops, so
less crops, higher prices, tariffs, all of those things are
going to make a difference.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
It's hard to have to pass that cost on.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
People don't understand because everybody's pockets are hurting right now, right,
all right now. LIFT is going to be rolling out
robotaxis in Atlanta using self driving technology. They already have
those in at least for US City, LA and Arizona. Yeah,
they have it in Phoenix, LA. They have it in
(19:29):
San Francisco and Austin, and they're planning to expand to
Miami in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Have you I know a couple of people who tried it.
Have you ever tried it?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I never tried it. I want you though.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
I saw one when I was in San Francisco. I
saw the actual way.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Mom seen it in Phoenix.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
MM hm, would you try it?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I would.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Well, they're going to be hitting the streets of Atlanta.
Users will be able to take rides in those self
driving cars starting this summer, and that's going to be
in partnership with May Mobility. Self driving technology will be
installed in Toyota Siena minivan and users will have the
chance to take rides.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
So the cause that we drive are going to be
able to do this.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
What's gonna happen to the drivers.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Nothing, We're gonna sit in the back show.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
The drivers are gonna say, I don't know, man, this
is crazy. All right, Well that is your under the radar.
We do have the way it mix. At the top
of the hour plus straight from Trinidad, we got Nyla
Blackman joining us. She's got a new song called feels
Like Love that I really enjoy. We'll be talking to her.
It's way up. She's like the talk like they Angela Jean,
(20:32):
like they Angela Jean.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Man, she's spilling it all. This is yet way up.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
It's way up at Angela.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Yee, I'm here Mano's here you outside and shout out
to Kendrick Lamara. GNX is the first rap album to
sell one million units in the US in twenty twenty five,
so that's a big deal. Played by Cardi in the
meantime is topping the Billboard two hundred with music, but
he is disputing the first week sales now so academic
(21:00):
said Playboycardi music sales two hundred ninety eight thousand. First
week it was debut number one, and then he posted
three hundred twenty So I think it has to do
it like bundling and things like that and trying to
figure how.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
That works out.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
But I do feel like all of the drama of
Kanye's back and forth that also helps with awareness too.
So as much as you want to he Kanye wants
to be mad, all he did was really like boost
engagement when it came to that. All right, Trina's husband,
Swerve just recently got arrested, But this is for an
incident back in twenty twenty three and a lleged assault
(21:37):
that happened nearly two years ago. According to this police report.
He just got arrested March twentieth, Thursday in Miami. At
the time, a man said he was crossing the street
when this black Dodge Charger suddenly stopped in front of
a stop sign, and that caused the unidentified man's hand
to hit the trunk, and he said that Swerve became
aggressive when he apposed the vehicle and followed him to
(21:59):
a nearby resident and that's where punched him multiple times
and fractured his nose. But they are saying, there is
surveillance footage of this altercation.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
If somebody did that to you, would you follow them?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Probably not.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
I would probably if he wanted to, like you know,
press to or whatever, because when you follow somebody, they
don't know what you're following them for. Like differently, it
could definitely go differently. So I don't know, but we'll see,
all right now, Tracy T and Cash Doll. Cash Doll
has certainly moved on. Well, it looks like Tracy T
is tired of people saying that he fumbled the relationship
(22:32):
and you know, hoping that he's okay.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
And here's what he had to say.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
He found your thumb with ain't gonna know.
Speaker 11 (22:39):
Hey, man, you drop something to pick some up, So
don't don't don't talk to.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Me what I about what I fumbled and dropped the loss.
I moved on.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Life goes on.
Speaker 11 (22:47):
Keys get grown, Keys get grown.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Sounds like a song. And I know it's interesting because
you're cool with that.
Speaker 11 (22:55):
Yeah, shout out to Tracy T. Yeah, they came and
hung out with us. I want to say, last summer,
you know, and you know we had them out here.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
They came bowler with.
Speaker 11 (23:03):
Us, and I thought everything was good, but you know,
this is how life is. You know, life moves on,
kids get grown, you know, drop something to pick it up.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
I mean, I know, cash out way better.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
It seemed they seem like it was really gonna they
both was cool.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I always wait till my relationships start.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Man, Listen, if I be friend whoever you end up
in a relationship with, I can't break up my friendship.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
As you know what I'm saying, this is it death
because I hate when guys do that.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
They make you become friends with their wife or their girl,
like not that one. Yeah, it'd be like I don't
want to now what I'm supposed to do, and I'm befriend.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Of the person? Is it? This is what took me
so long?
Speaker 4 (23:37):
You know what?
Speaker 5 (23:38):
On that note, when we come back, let's do a
Monday maynovation. Yeah, that's what we need.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
We need a little mainn ovation from you.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
As you're contemplating and pondering what what this mystery woman
is going to be like in your future, we also
need a little mainnovation.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
The world's been crazy and it's time for some It's
way up.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
About this long as the famous women in radioIO and
we're talking about Angela. Ye, you're way up with angela Ye.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Please believe that.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
It's way up at Angela.
Speaker 9 (24:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
I'm here, yeah yeah, And.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
It's time for some Monday, you know, yeah, shine.
Speaker 9 (24:14):
You know.
Speaker 11 (24:14):
And I was inspired by something somebody called up here
and said today. They said, please do not, under no circumstances,
allow anybody to get you out of your zone, to
take you out of your character. And sometimes that happens.
We're all human, and every now and then we allow
somebody to bite on our skin, and then we engage
with them, you understand, And then it's like, you know,
(24:36):
we we vibrate a little lower than we should be
because we allow something to happen.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
But then you.
Speaker 11 (24:42):
Realize that that's not the motion, right, you know, because
in this in this life and on this journey, you're
gonna have people coming at you and have people saying
things about you. What you gotta maintain, you gotta you
gotta don't allow people to get you too far out
of your character.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
And that happens all the time.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Because social media people have so much access YouTube, people
do things, say things, leave comments, and you want to
clap back.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
So every now and then I bike back.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
I snapped back, Okay, okay, you know, but you know,
and you're right that call it when he called up
today is basically saying that you know, we can't We
can only control kind of what we do.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
I can't control where anybody says.
Speaker 11 (25:27):
Control what nobody says. I can't control what you think
about me, And frankly, I don't even care. So I mean, look,
standing your zone, stand your mold, stand your cost, stay driving,
don't worry about what's going on to the left or
to the right, or you keep focused, keep pushing a
little bit of my innovation.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
No hesitation in any situal, asshin.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
Because sometimes you want to go in on somebody and
be like you corny, like you belaving the corniest stupidest things,
and you want to just.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I go, I go, and I go further than that.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Yeah, you do take it low.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
It may also may even record a whole video, and
I'd be like, mana, what are you doing?
Speaker 12 (26:05):
Yeah, because you know when they when they they what's
the same when they when they go low, you take
it to the floor, take to the basement.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
You take it to the basement.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
No, we'll stop it.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Okay, let's yeah. Now the real thing is when they
go low.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
We go way up there, go way up, you go.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
I know that's right. Well that was your Monday May innovation.
Remember that when they go low, you go way up.
That's right, way up to the sky, to heaven, to heaven,
God got us.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
That's right, all right.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
Well, anyway with that Monday May innovation, when we come
back along those notes, we do have ask ye eight
hundred two nine two fifty one fifty.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Any question you have.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
I'm here with the award winning advice giving mainnovator Mayo himself.
Eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty is a number.
And don't forget after that, Nyla Blackman is going to
be joining us straight from Trinidad. We love her so talented.
You know, new music is feeling like love out here
feels like love. So all of that going on. But again,
(27:07):
ask Yee is next eight hundred two nine two fifty
one fifty.
Speaker 6 (27:11):
Whether it's relationship for career advice, Angela's dropping facts, you
should know. This is ask gee?
Speaker 4 (27:17):
What's up his way up? At Angela Yee?
Speaker 5 (27:18):

Speaker 4 (27:24):
And today we have Tania on the line. What's up
to Nia?
Speaker 9 (27:27):
Hi?
Speaker 7 (27:27):
How are you good?
Speaker 4 (27:28):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I'm hanging in there.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
My question for you is, I've been in a relationship
with this person for twelve years, damn, and I feel
like that it's time whether this relationship it has come
to an end for me. I mean, I want to
just be blunt with him and just tell him like
you know, I don't love you, don't want to be
in tolam, I don't want to be mean to him,
(27:51):
and I just need a little advice. How should I
you know, take.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
It to him?
Speaker 2 (27:54):
You see somebody else honest at this time?
Speaker 5 (27:58):
So what is it about this relation? She said, after
twelve years that you're over ending.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
I just feel like he is real, insecure. He gravitates
to me. He always wants me right there with him.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
He don't never want me to go nowhere like a
child for me.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
Yeah, I'm forty eight and he just turned sixty four.
So it's like he's trying to mold me into what
he wants me to be. And to know, I'm not
liking that.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
To be his mother where that's the thing to me?
Speaker 5 (28:27):
I have a question for twelve years you were with him?
Was he always like this?
Speaker 2 (28:31):
He's been like this.
Speaker 7 (28:33):
I just kind of like overlooked it and pushed it
up under the rug and just kept.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Going, does he satisfy you in the bed? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (28:40):
He good at that?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
So she's like, that's why I was here for this long.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
That's not enough to stay.
Speaker 9 (28:47):
Right.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
When you don't want to be in a relationship with
somebody and you get frustrated, it doesn't make it easy
for them either, right, because then we end up being
kind of nasty, rude. Everything they do is annoying and
they're not getting the love that they should get either.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
And so honesty and kind of having.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
To step away if this is what you know you
want to do, is the best way, because you're not
doing nobody a favor by staying with somebody you don't
want to be with, and you're just gonna have an
attitude while you're there.
Speaker 7 (29:15):
I thank you for that. I've been thinking on and
I just I guess I just want to hear from
someone else.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
You ever cheated on him?
Speaker 7 (29:21):
No, he just cheated on me, though.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
So this is how you do this. I'm give you.
Speaker 11 (29:25):
I'm gonna give you some pointers on how you can
get rid of this relationship without being so disrespectful.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
You can either.
Speaker 12 (29:31):
Slide in my DMS or any God's DMS that you
want and then get into like a back and forth
conversation and then kind of like let him see that
it like it was a mistake.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
No, don't do that. And look, at the end of
the day, we all deserve happiness. You deserve happiness, and
I know you care about him enough to know that
he deserves it. It just won't be with you. Some
other woman would love being up under him all the time.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
Well, I really appreciate it. Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
All Right, you could try that DM thing. You gonna
help you out. I'm telling you, I get the best advice.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
Let man, No, definitely won't have you all up under
him because he can't. All right, Well, they.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
All like women.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Hey, all right, Well that was asked eight hundred two
nine two fifty one fifty just in case you couldn't
get through. And when we come back, our girl, Nyla
black Men is in the building. She's amazing. She's a
Trinidadian singer, songwriters, soca artists. But she's more than just soka.
She is a whole lot of genres and you can
really hear it with her new single that's out right
(30:34):

Speaker 4 (30:50):
Black Men is here.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
I ho you. I'm good.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Well, you look soap every time I see you, though
I don't think you're ever not camera ready.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Thank you. I definitely love myself some clothes.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
You're also doing the Roots Picnic this year. That's gonna
be big.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
That's gonna be huge. I'm really excited for it.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
How is Carnival this year?
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Carnival was like how Carnival usually is a lot. Somebody
described it best like a million mini croachellas. Okay, it
was just so many events. The energy was high. There
was a lot going on.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
I haven't been to Trinidad Carnival yet, but everybody says
that's the one.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Well we are the beginning, so the mecca.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Yeah, okay, So aside from Trinidad, if you had to say,
where's the best carnival after that?
Speaker 4 (31:35):
What would you put second?
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Oh my god, you're gonna get me in trouble for you.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
It's an opinion.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Okay, Wow, I definitely think it would be Jamaica.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
Okay, yeah, I'm talking to Nyla Blackman right now, Trinidadian superstar.
So I want to talk about just some more of
the beginnings of the music. First of all, working with Cass, Yeah,
I think he's like the nicest person in addition to
being super talented and Cass the band. So talk to
me about that collaboration and work out and how that
even came about.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
That was at the beginning of everything. I was eighteen
years old and I was in school.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Utt.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
I was doing my degree and I agree with music
bachelor's and the performing arts. Yeah, I was doing opera
and I have no time for myself. I have no
time to do my music. So I asked my mom
to drop out of school. She was like, hell no,
and I was like, you know, let me try Soca music.
She said to me, Okay, let's make a deal. You
could take one semester off of school and then do
(32:38):
Carnival and then go right back. That was nice. I
was like, deal, I want to many different producers and
they all said no, don't do socer, it'll spoil you.
And I'm like, okay, I don't know you. Maybe they
thought the industry was too aggressive for the kind of
quiet personality I had. And I was like, no, I
want to do it because my grandfather's the creative the genre.
(32:58):
So I asked everybody and everybody told me no. And
I went to Aunts and and I said, would you
do a Sosco? He's like, oh my god, I thought
you'd never ask. And that same day we created workouts.
And two weeks later, I was in a studio session
by another producer and Cas came to record some songs
and I was like, oh my god, fancy.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Seeing you here.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
This is how it was supposed to go.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
You know.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
And I told him I sent you a song. Did
you hear it? He's like no, I didn't. And I
was like, let me play it for you right now.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
And I read.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
I literally just like bombarded him, and he was like, oh,
like I don't even know this girl, you know. I
sat him right then. I watched him and I was like,
so what do you think? And he was like, it's
a really good song, and I was like, yeah, so
he decided that he do the song with me.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
That's amazing.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
Yeah, And that's that being assertive, because you know that
can be intimidating. You run into the person you don't
know him. Yeah, but I wouldn't think that people already
knew who you were.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
No, he didn't know who I was, but he knew
who my family was. Yeah, he knew you my family.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
I know you said your mom said you could take
you know, a little time. Did you end up going
back to school?
Speaker 6 (34:04):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Hell no, I did not one semester.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
After that semester, everything went so crazy that year of
twenty seventy. You know, I kid you not. I'm not
over exaggeration by these numbers. I did three hundred and
seventy five shoes.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
That's wild.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Nyla Blackman is here, her family is royalty in Trinidad,
for real.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
We got more with her when we come back. It's
way up.
Speaker 6 (34:29):
It's way up with Angela.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Ye.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
Let's go.
Speaker 6 (34:32):
You are a media maven, right, you.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Never know what Ange's gonna say.
Speaker 5 (34:36):
What's up as way up at Angela yee, and I
am talking to the superstar from Trinidad.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Nyla Blackman. All right, now let's talk about new music.
Feels like love.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
That is, that's a nice feel good song. And You
have Ry was on there, and I was wondering the connection,
but then I saw you met him at Caravana. It
sounds great, but I also was like, well, how did
this even happen?
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Well, the thing about it is that he's Guyanese, so
there's that Caribbean connection there. This song is very down
soul influenced, but it's it's more like like a pop
dance aul kind of vibe, and he still brings that
kind of arm and B hip hop flavor on it,
and it still has a little Caribbean twang. So the
melting pot on this record is so beautiful, Like it's
(35:21):
so beautiful and it's very flirty, very chill vibe. So
I love it.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
And the album is called Born a Diamond Bad, So
that is definitely coming out later this year. Yes, okay,
I can already tell just from what I've heard so far,
it is going.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
To be It's gonna be amazing.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (35:38):
Is it done or mostly done?
Speaker 3 (35:39):
It's mostly done. I'm really excited for this project because
it's so colled, but it's not it's world music.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
Do you feel like right now the Caribbean is in
a great space when it comes to the global platform
of music because I feel like so many people are
borrowing from the influence.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Yeah, one hundred percent. Caribbean music has been thriving for
a while now, and off Flava is unmatched. Off Flava
is something that is so unique and it's always something
that's gonna get the blood moving. And even though people
know the Caribbeans sound, it's still an on top market,
you know, it's still something that's yet to explode.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
I'm talking to Nyla Blackman right now, Trinidadian superstar.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
Congratulations to you.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
I'm really excited for you and I'm glad we had
a chance to sit down and have a conversation. And
I know what, dude, I know every time I see you, like,
when are we gonna do it? But no, honestly, when
the album comes out to we got to make sure
we get like some exclusives, you.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Know, and not to sit down would be nice indeed.
Speaker 5 (36:36):
But I appreciate you so much and congratulations for everything,
just because you're not just a talented artist, but you
do so much to give back and it's authentic and
I love that because some people feel like just because
I'm an artist, that doesn't make me a role model.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
I don't have to do X, Y and Z.
Speaker 5 (36:49):
But clearly it's something that you take the time out
of your three hundred and thousand shows a year.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
To be able to do that, and that's, oh my god.
Speaker 5 (36:56):
That's important. But you also got to take care of
yourself exactly.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
I feel the importance of that this year, especially because
as a musician and as a creative, you find that
you don't have the creative energy that you require. If
you're you're spread to sin and you can fill other
people if you're full, you know what I mean. You
can't fill other people if you're empty. So just for
(37:20):
everyone listening on be selfless, give back and I'm just
grateful for all the blessings.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
But thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (37:27):
Now that black Ma, make sure you guys follow her.
We're excited for the album this summer. Yes, okay, all right,
I'm not going to ask you a day because it
could change, but congratulations.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Thank you so much for everybody that's listening out there.
You guys can follow me on Instagram and TikTok at
Nyla Blackman. This album is really dear to my heart
and I'm really excited for the world to hear it.
Speaker 5 (37:49):
You can watch that for an interview on my YouTube
channel Way Up with You And when we come back,
you guys have the last word.
Speaker 6 (37:54):
Pick up the phone tap to get your voice heard
with the word bitch is the last word on Way
Up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 5 (38:02):
What's up his way up at Angela Yee. I'm here
with my guy Maino. I do want to say a
leader today. I'm actually going to be at my coffee shop,
Coffee Uplifts People, and I'm going to be talking to
some entrepreneurs about hiring and having employees and you know
the most effective ways to do it, because you know,
I use the recruiter and that's how I've hired some
of the staff that I have at Coffee Uplifts people.
(38:24):
It's one of the easiest ways to get that done.
And making sure that people have the right qualifications. It's
kind of like dating or using a realtor to find
a house.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
You want to make sure you're getting site.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
Yeah, it is getting exactly what you need, you know,
but it actually I think more like having a realtor
because having a realtor, They'll only show you the properties
that you are looking for a certain things like if
I want a three bedroom, don't show me a one bedroom.
And speaking of that, I'm also going to be in Memphis.
I have an event that's going to be happening for
the Black Developers Housing Summit, and that's going to be
(38:56):
on Wednesday, So I'm really excited to be there and
do that keynote with the moderator Rashida Jones. You know,
like I said, I love talking about real estate and
I love Memphis too, So I'm back outside.
