Speaker 1 (00:02):
I'm a homegrow that knows a little bit about everything
and everybody. You know, if you don't lie about that. Right, Hey, y'all,
what's up. It's Laura Rosa and this is the latest
with Laura the Rosa, your daily dig on all things
pop culture, entertainment, news exclusives. But y'all know we're going
to get into those conversations that shake the room now.
(00:23):
I'm your host, Laura l Rosa and Low Riders. We
always kick you off with the behind the scenes of
the grind checking, which is normally where I give you know, myself,
my guests whoever is here to be on the pod
sometime to talk about how they feel. Normally it's one
word and then you have to explain the word. Today,
if I'm putting how I feel into one word, I
(00:46):
am blessed. I don't know what else to say besides
I'm blessed today. This past weekend, I got to spend
some time close to the home. I didn't get to
see family the way to that normally, which is always
so different for me because I'm like very very very
very very family oriented, like super to traditional. We do
(01:08):
every holiday together. Any free minute I get, you know,
I'm going to see my family, going to see my grandmother,
going to see my mom. And I was working this
weekend in Philadelphia for the Roots Picnic. I did a
conversation on Friday in honor of the new BMF series
that is coming to Stars on June sixth. So I
(01:29):
did a conversation with Da Vinci, who plays Terry or
Southwest t in the show. If you guys are familiar
with the show, he's one of the main characters, and
a music supervisor named Big Tank, who was the person
that basically make sure all the music is popping and
is what we want to hear when it comes to
the show. And being in Philly, being close to the
home and you know, I was like, I was in
(01:50):
such a space of like, Okay, do I go home,
do I, you know, head to Delaware? Do I like
all of the things. But I told mysel that I
was going to take this weekend. After I finished that
gig Oh, I also got to talk to Malcolm d
Lee and Black Thought as well. Last minute they needed
to moderate it for a final conversation. After then I
(02:11):
was already at so I was like Okay, yeah, Bet,
which was an amazing conversation because the best Man Unfinished Business,
Malcolm Deey's new book, it's here, it's out, It's it's well,
it's coming out. So getting to talk about that and
then talking to Black thought about just the Roots Picnic
and you know, the history and the culture of the
Roots and all those things were amazing. But as I'm
(02:32):
in those moments and I'm like, man, like, this is fire.
Like I've you know, grown up in Delaware. You hear,
I've never gone to the Roots Picnic, but all my
friends have gone. You know. It's it's such a thing.
Today I'll be here and be a part of it
as a blessing. But also I'm like, yo, I'm so
blessed because I'm actually you know, I have a lot
(02:53):
going on, and I get to soar through that, but
I'm actually able to make the decision of you know what,
I'm going to prioritize me this weekend, and I feel
guilty about it. And that's a blessing for me because
we're the oldest girl in the family, oldest sibling, but
especially the oldest girl and the family. You are like
the unofficial family manager, and a lot of times you
(03:14):
don't get to make decisions just for yourself, and when
you do, you feel so guilty. And I had a
guilty feeling for a little bit, and then I told myself, like,
you know what, it's okay, Like you have a really
busy you know, next couple weeks coming up and getting
back into court, the BT Awards are coming up, with
y'all be in La attending, and then you have time
(03:35):
off to come home and be with the family. Take
this time for you, take this weekend for you. It
is a blessing to be able to do so, to
afford to do so, but it's also a blessing to
have the ability to even know, hey, this is what
I need. So I did that and that was great,
and I got some time to like really just do nothing,
and like you know what I mean, Like that always
(03:56):
feels good to do nothing. I could have used a
bit more sleep, but I did get some time do nothing.
So I'm here, I'm feeling blessed and going into the
latest because y'all, the Breakfast Club has started some trouble, okay,
And I try to keep the Breakfast Club things and
the stories separate than the podcast, but I felt like
here on the podcast, I could give you guys a
(04:18):
better breakdown of you know what happened? So Cardi b
Offset Stefan Diggs this weekend. There was like a whole
thing last week on The Breakfast Club. I did a
segment during the Latest with Lonena Rose on The Breakfast
Club where we talked about the fact that Offset recently
filed for sponsive support. Now here's how I like to
(04:41):
break it down. This is why I'm so great that
I have the podcast. I'm so blessed again that word
to have the podcast because I can take time to
talk y'all through things that I wouldn't have the time
to take y'all through if I'm on air the Breakfast Club,
even if it comes up, the time is just not
the same because it's me and three other people in
the room. So when I do stories, even if I'm
not breaking the stories exclusively, if I'm just speaking on them,
(05:02):
it is important to me that, especially for certain subject matters,
that I reach out to all parties involved. I mean,
I'm going to talk about it regardless if I'm not
telling the world new information. I don't always feel the
need to just say, hey, we're going to talk about this.
But if there are certain things being claimed then, you know,
things of that nature. I do do that because I
(05:23):
would want somebody to do it for me. So I
got in. I saw the story. Honestly, I saw the
story of the night prior. Right through it. I'm like, okay, well,
it's kind of weird to me that Offset is accent
for the Sparstal support because Offset is very successful, Offset
makes money. Offset is an entity on his own, you
know what I mean, coming from migos, but now you know,
he's his own artist, and he has songs and he's
(05:43):
doing the fashion stuff, and he like, he doesn't need
money from Cardi B to live. So I'm like, okay,
this is odd. So I instantly reached out to one
of my team members who normally reaches out on that
side for me, and I'm like, hey, going to do
this story. You know, there're other outlets that are angling
this as if all Set needs this money because he
(06:04):
has these tax lianes. But I went back in, I researched,
and I'm like, but the tax lianes were there, Like,
we found out about the tax liens the same time
that we found out about the divorce, and it's been
months since then. So if that were the case, he
would have asked for sposal support a long time ago
when Cardi B first said that she wanted to get
a divorce, and that that's not the case. So this
(06:26):
can't be the reason. Why can we try and figure
out why? What is going on? Why is he asking
for sposal support? So I had that person reaching out,
and then on my end, I picked up the phone,
I you know, called Carti's team and said, hey, look,
you know here this story is out. I'm going to
report it. I've reached out on both sides, you know.
(06:48):
I I'm just doing the courtesy because I'm trying to
figure out what is happening here. In the midst of
me doing that, we had received a statement from someone
off set team, and the statement read this, here's exactly
what I said on the breakfast club. Off set team
says that he does not need the money. That this
was filed because he alleges that Cardi B was trying
(07:10):
to come at him on things that were not fair.
He alleges that she wants to decide when he can
see the kids. He also alleges that Cardi B is
asking for everything like the properties in the cars, so
his attorneys did this, and he also alleges, and this
is a big allegation, he also alleges that he did
this because Cardi B is barely ever with their kids.
(07:33):
So now I go back to Quarti's side out I'm like, hey,
here's what I've been told from the other side. I
am going to give this statement on air. Let me
know if you guys want to respond in any way.
If not, it's totally fine. But again, just give you
the heads up because I'm like, y'all, this is their marriage.
Even though a lot of their stuff has played out publicly,
you know, this is their marriage, and like their kids
are involved. Like, the least I could do is give
(07:54):
both sides a heads up and a chance to speak
for themselves. I was told that there was no comment
from Cardi's side at the sign, and then we went
on air and we did it. Baby. The weekend weekend,
Cardi B got on Two the Spaces and went off
on off set.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
The fact that I'm waking up right now to see
that this gu and his team, I don't know. I
know it's not his team, I know it's his Gonna tell.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
The Breakfast club.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
The only reason why this man asking for spousal support
because I was asking for everything and because I don't.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Be with my kids.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yo, are you such a word to my mother? I
want you to die, but I want.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
You to die slow where your die. I want your die.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Slow in a bed, and while you die, I think
of me. When I first filed for divorce, my lawyer
fought for and just started spasting right. So I told
my lawyer I asked for no child support because I
want to be done with this marriage, like I feel
like I'm tied up.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
WHOA Okay. So of course this caused like such a
tumble down of things because now you have like, oh god,
Stephan Diggs gets on Instagram and he does a swipe through,
and Cardi b is in the swipe through. The last
swipe through is Quebro from the Migos, who we've known
(09:19):
that also has had some like you know what I mean.
They they family, but like they've had bad blood and
you know, things of that nature saying this, and I'm like,
oh God. As soon as I saw Stephan Diggs wipe through,
I'm like, okay, glad you like you know, y'all in
love and y'all doing y'all thing. But when I said
it was so patty, I was like, oh my god.
All said is gonna get online and he is gonna
(09:40):
respond to the things, and Lord have mercy. So then
after that, Cardi B posted her own little swipe through
a thread on Instagram. Stephan Diggs is in the thread.
Cardi B is also wrapped up in Stephan Diggs like
he would this like fur throw shaw thing to the
met Gala. Cardi B is wrapped up in that. In
one of the photos, she's like naked but the shawl
(10:04):
and one of that shit looks gorgeous by the way,
but I'm like, okay, yeah, all right. So that causes
that back and forth. And then there are tweets that
I haven't been able to respond, I mean respond, haven't
been able to confirm because I went to offset Twitter
and didn't see these tweets, so I don't know. But
(10:26):
there are some reported tweets of him of Offset responding
calling it like seemingly responding, allegedly responding. He tweeted like
good pr rollout and he was like spiking a ball.
And one of the gifts they posted a gift is
just like a it's like a photo but like it's
like a funny photo. So then you got Stefan Diggs
(10:47):
who posted who went on his answer story and posted
a photo of him catching the ball. He like, okay,
called it like if you that's what you're doing. Yeah,
I'm here, I'm with it, and I'm just like, Lord,
have mercy, Lord have mercy when things like this happen.
It's not our intent to make all of this happen
at all. Honestly, I was just reporting what was already reported.
(11:08):
I just wanted to be a little bit more cautionable
with it, or have a little bit more caution with
it if I could, because I'm like, it makes no sense.
Demand makes his own money. Why is the accent for
spousal support? But what I've learned is sometimes these things
you can't avoid these things, Like a lot of times
you can't avoid these things, whether you know you're trying
(11:30):
to do the best, trying to keep people and you
know what I mean, locks at what was happening. Yeah,
And it's a tough position to be in because a
lot of time, the talent, the celebrities involved will blame
you because you brought it to your platform and you
made it a conversation to you whatever. But even with that,
I've learned that, like there's nothing I can do about that,
Like that you filed for the spousal support. It was
(11:51):
a public filing. Actual TMZ broke that story. So they
told the world about it first. We're just here talking
about it and having a conversation about it. But I
always try and do things with good intention. I do.
I'll tell y'all that. But I was like, let me
get off social media this weekend because her name and
her saying in her audio like breakfast, I'm like, oh
lower at mercy. Yeah. So what I did this weekend
(12:15):
was I was only posting uh here and there. I
told y'all, I took some time for myself this weekend.
But I also went down to Philly for the Roots Picnic.
Root's Picnic line up crazy this year. That got meat,
had meat meals, push your tea, DiAngelo Maxwell, all of
these people, right, all of these people. Two days, Saturday
(12:36):
and Sunday were the actual festival days. Glorilla, who else?
Uh Lotto. But here's the issue. The first day of
the Roots Picnic, it was it was predicted the rain.
I was actually supposed to I was actually supposed to
(12:56):
go to the roots picnic and like do content for them,
like officially with the actual picnic. And I decided to
not do that anymore because when I saw that the
rain was like in forecast and it was going to
rain so heavily, like at one point in time, Philly
was on a tornado watch, and I was so happy
that I decided not to do it. So Saturday, basically
you get there and the festival doors were supposed to open.
(13:18):
I believe it a little bit after two o'clock PM
in the afternoon, when I tell y'all, it's cold outside
this day, it's a bit windy, it's raining. It does
not feel like the end of May beginning of June whatsoever.
It's raining, and I mean like raining, raining when blowing,
when blowing the rain, And this is in the middle
of a real park, so now it's muddy, the grass
(13:39):
is wet. When I arrived and I wasn't even gonna
go to the picnic, but after doing the conversation with
the BMF stars, I was like, you know what, I'm
already here. The start seeing has been so good to me.
Some of my friends are doing activations within the picnic.
Let me just go and support y'all. We got there
when I tell you, the lines were insane. The lines
were insane, the VIP line, the general mission line. And
(14:00):
as soon as I walked up and I saw people
standing there in these lines in the rain, complaining that
the lines weren't moving, I was like, Man, it's going
to be a social media nightmare, and that is exactly
what it was. Of course, it went super viral, with
many outlets covering the fact that people were waiting in
line for hours and requesting refunds, and I and the
Roots Picnic officially actually had to come out and apologize,
(14:22):
so they posted on their Instagram we would like to
say sorry. As we shared yesterday, the rain over the
last forty hours made the grounds unsafe and in abundance
and caution. We had to delay doors opening, resulting in
the lines to get into the festival. Please understand safety
will be our number one priority. We worked hard to
make sure every artist still got on stage and extended
the festival hours, also that they could perform without violating
(14:43):
the city noise curfews. Today is a new day because
they posted this on Sunday, which would have been the
second day at the festival. This was the day. The
second day you had push a Tea and meg meal,
a lot of the acts of people. I mean, people
were excited about both days. But second day there was
a lot of hype around it, and it actually didn't
rain that day. They say, today is a new day,
talking about Sunday, and we would do better. There's no
rain in the forecast, and we are making changes to
(15:05):
improve the entry process and communication overall. Because that was
another thing too, Like even me as talent, when I
got there, I'm like, oh, we got these lines. I
don't mind waiting in the line, but I'm like, y'all,
like this is like insane, Like if I didn't have umbrellas,
I would have been drenched. And I'm coming in here
as talent that is working with you guys, So I
can't imagine how it is for people that just bought
(15:25):
tickets randomly. Like I felt so bad for people. I
got my ober and left, Like I think I was
in that. I was there in that mess for about
twenty minutes and then I got in there and left.
They said that that next day they made the entry
process and communication, as I mentioned, good better overall. They
also increased the number of roots picnic ambassadors that will
be at the front gates, because that was another thing too,
(15:46):
like it just wasn't enough people working it, which is
insane because the picnic has been around for so long
and I think that was a lot of people's issue.
People were recrossing refunds and even when I posted my
BMF like photo and stuff that I did for roots picnic,
I'm taking it in the streets to the tweet youth
to be outside, we outside, we outside okade. Every other page,
(16:09):
the people was dming me, I mean not dm and
people were tweeting me. People were commenting under my photo like, Hey,
are you gonna be reporting about this tomorrow on the
Breakfast Club on the podcast? Can we get our refunds? Hey,
anyway you could talk to And I'm like, I have
nothing to do with the picnic. I just was an attendee.
But I'm like, imagine if I had done all that
(16:30):
official content and kind of like was like an ambassador
officially for the picnic this year, Like not that they
plan to purposely put people in the position that some
people were putting, but I was so grateful that I
didn't do it, because I'm like, this would have been
something I don't even have anything to do with that.
People would have been looking at me too. So that
was my weekend. But that was a big like. I
saw a lot of the blogs posting people outside in
(16:54):
the rain, the mud. There was one like people were
like HP, y'all. It was a lot. It was a
lot going on. But nonetheless I enjoyed the weekend. I
didn't know. I do know that some people left that
first day. You know, there are some people travel in
from states in other countries, so they were they were
kind of stuck in Philly. So they did end up
returning the second day, had a good time. I'll have
(17:14):
a bunch of behind the scenes content from the roots picnic,
not the actual picnic, but from the events that I
did on my Instagram I'm Laura Rosa everywhere Twitter and
then also my YouTube channel. I have a blog that
I'm putting up as well. So yeah, we outside on
the internet because it is obviously I don't even ge
other side of the picnick because it was crazy. It
was in insane. But this has been the latest. But
Laura the Rose that thank you guys for tuning in
(17:36):
on the end. Yeah, tell a friend and telepriend you know,
low Ryders. This is right here where they need to
be at the end of the day. There's always a
lot to talk about, and y'all are right here with
me every single episode to talk about it. I appreciate you, guys,
and I will see you guys at my next episode.
I'm a homegrow that knows a little bit about everything
and everybody. You know, if you don't lie about that. Right, Hey, y'all,
what's up. It's Laura Rosa and this is the latest
with Laura the Rosa, your daily dig on all things
pop culture, entertainment, news exclusives. But y'all know we're going

I'm going to see my family, going to see my grandmother,
going to see my mom. And I was working this
weekend in Philadelphia for the Roots Picnic. I did a
conversation on Friday in honor of the new BMF series
that is coming to Stars on June sixth. So I
(01:29):
did a conversation with Da Vinci, who plays Terry or

a music supervisor named Big Tank, who was the person

home and you know, I was like, I was in
(01:50):
such a space of like, Okay, do I go home,
do I, you know, head to Delaware? Do I like
all of the things. But I told mysel that I
was going to take this weekend. After I finished that

(03:35):
off to come home and be with the family. Take
this time for you, take this weekend for you. It
is a blessing to be able to do so, to
afford to do so, but it's also a blessing to
have the ability to even know, hey, this is what
I need. So I did that and that was great,
and I got some time to like really just do nothing,
and like you know what I mean, Like that always
(03:56):

was filed because he alleges that Cardi B was trying
(07:10):
to come at him on things that were not fair.
He alleges that she wants to decide when he can
see the kids. He also alleges that Cardi B is
asking for everything like the properties in the cars, so
his attorneys did this, and he also alleges, and this
is a big allegation, he also alleges that he did
this because Cardi B is barely ever with their kids.
(07:33):
So now I go back to Quarti's side out I'm like, hey,
here's what I've been told from the other side. I
am going to give this statement on air. Let me
know if you guys want to respond in any way.
If not, it's totally fine. But again, just give you
the heads up because I'm like, y'all, this is their marriage.
Even though a lot of their stuff has played out publicly,
you know, this is their marriage, and like their kids
are involved. Like, the least I could do is give
(07:54):
both sides a heads up and a chance to speak
for themselves. I was told that there was no comment
from Cardi's side at the sign, and then we went
on air and we did it. Baby. The weekend weekend,
Cardi B got on Two the Spaces and went off
on off set.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
The fact that I'm waking up right now to see
that this gu and his team, I don't know. I
know it's not his team, I know it's his Gonna tell.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
The Breakfast club.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
The only reason why this man asking for spousal support
because I was asking for everything and because I don't.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Be with my kids.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yo, are you such a word to my mother? I
want you to die, but I want.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
You to die slow where your die. I want your die.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Slow in a bed, and while you die, I think
of me. When I first filed for divorce, my lawyer
fought for and just started spasting right. So I told
my lawyer I asked for no child support because I
want to be done with this marriage, like I feel
like I'm tied up.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
WHOA Okay. So of course this caused like such a
tumble down of things because now you have like, oh god,
Stephan Diggs gets on Instagram and he does a swipe through,
and Cardi b is in the swipe through. The last
swipe through is Quebro from the Migos, who we've known
(09:19):
that also has had some like you know what I mean.
They they family, but like they've had bad blood and
you know, things of that nature saying this, and I'm like,
oh God. As soon as I saw Stephan Diggs wipe through,
I'm like, okay, glad you like you know, y'all in
love and y'all doing y'all thing. But when I said
it was so patty, I was like, oh my god.
All said is gonna get online and he is gonna
(09:40):
respond to the things, and Lord have mercy. So then
after that, Cardi B posted her own little swipe through
a thread on Instagram. Stephan Diggs is in the thread.
Cardi B is also wrapped up in Stephan Diggs like
he would this like fur throw shaw thing to the
met Gala. Cardi B is wrapped up in that. In
one of the photos, she's like naked but the shawl
(10:04):
and one of that shit looks gorgeous by the way,
but I'm like, okay, yeah, all right. So that causes
that back and forth. And then there are tweets that
I haven't been able to respond, I mean respond, haven't
been able to confirm because I went to offset Twitter
and didn't see these tweets, so I don't know. But
(10:26):
there are some reported tweets of him of Offset responding
calling it like seemingly responding, allegedly responding. He tweeted like
good pr rollout and he was like spiking a ball.
And one of the gifts they posted a gift is
just like a it's like a photo but like it's
like a funny photo. So then you got Stefan Diggs
(10:47):
who posted who went on his answer story and posted
a photo of him catching the ball. He like, okay,
called it like if you that's what you're doing. Yeah,
I'm here, I'm with it, and I'm just like, Lord,
have mercy, Lord have mercy when things like this happen.
It's not our intent to make all of this happen
at all. Honestly, I was just reporting what was already reported.
(11:08):
I just wanted to be a little bit more cautionable
with it, or have a little bit more caution with
it if I could, because I'm like, it makes no sense.
Demand makes his own money. Why is the accent for
spousal support? But what I've learned is sometimes these things
you can't avoid these things, Like a lot of times
you can't avoid these things, whether you know you're trying
(11:30):
to do the best, trying to keep people and you
know what I mean, locks at what was happening. Yeah,
And it's a tough position to be in because a
lot of time, the talent, the celebrities involved will blame
you because you brought it to your platform and you
made it a conversation to you whatever. But even with that,
I've learned that, like there's nothing I can do about that,
Like that you filed for the spousal support. It was
(11:51):
a public filing. Actual TMZ broke that story. So they
told the world about it first. We're just here talking
about it and having a conversation about it. But I
always try and do things with good intention. I do.
I'll tell y'all that. But I was like, let me
get off social media this weekend because her name and
her saying in her audio like breakfast, I'm like, oh
lower at mercy. Yeah. So what I did this weekend
(12:15):
was I was only posting uh here and there. I
told y'all, I took some time for myself this weekend.
But I also went down to Philly for the Roots Picnic.
Root's Picnic line up crazy this year. That got meat,
had meat meals, push your tea, DiAngelo Maxwell, all of
these people, right, all of these people. Two days, Saturday
(12:36):
and Sunday were the actual festival days. Glorilla, who else?
Uh Lotto. But here's the issue. The first day of
the Roots Picnic, it was it was predicted the rain.
I was actually supposed to I was actually supposed to
(12:56):
go to the roots picnic and like do content for them,
like officially with the actual picnic. And I decided to
not do that anymore because when I saw that the
rain was like in forecast and it was going to
rain so heavily, like at one point in time, Philly
was on a tornado watch, and I was so happy
that I decided not to do it. So Saturday, basically
you get there and the festival doors were supposed to open.
(13:18):
I believe it a little bit after two o'clock PM
in the afternoon, when I tell y'all, it's cold outside
this day, it's a bit windy, it's raining. It does
not feel like the end of May beginning of June whatsoever.
It's raining, and I mean like raining, raining when blowing,
when blowing the rain, And this is in the middle
of a real park, so now it's muddy, the grass
(13:39):
is wet. When I arrived and I wasn't even gonna
go to the picnic, but after doing the conversation with
the BMF stars, I was like, you know what, I'm
already here. The start seeing has been so good to me.
Some of my friends are doing activations within the picnic.
Let me just go and support y'all. We got there
when I tell you, the lines were insane. The lines
were insane, the VIP line, the general mission line. And
(14:00):
as soon as I walked up and I saw people
standing there in these lines in the rain, complaining that
the lines weren't moving, I was like, Man, it's going
to be a social media nightmare, and that is exactly
what it was. Of course, it went super viral, with
many outlets covering the fact that people were waiting in
line for hours and requesting refunds, and I and the
Roots Picnic officially actually had to come out and apologize,
(14:22):
so they posted on their Instagram we would like to
say sorry. As we shared yesterday, the rain over the
last forty hours made the grounds unsafe and in abundance
and caution. We had to delay doors opening, resulting in
the lines to get into the festival. Please understand safety
will be our number one priority. We worked hard to
make sure every artist still got on stage and extended
the festival hours, also that they could perform without violating
(14:43):
the city noise curfews. Today is a new day because
they posted this on Sunday, which would have been the
second day at the festival. This was the day. The
second day you had push a Tea and meg meal,
a lot of the acts of people. I mean, people
were excited about both days. But second day there was
a lot of hype around it, and it actually didn't
rain that day. They say, today is a new day,
talking about Sunday, and we would do better. There's no
rain in the forecast, and we are making changes to
(15:05):
improve the entry process and communication overall. Because that was
another thing too, Like even me as talent, when I
got there, I'm like, oh, we got these lines. I
don't mind waiting in the line, but I'm like, y'all,
like this is like insane, Like if I didn't have umbrellas,
I would have been drenched. And I'm coming in here
as talent that is working with you guys, So I
can't imagine how it is for people that just bought
(15:25):
tickets randomly. Like I felt so bad for people. I
got my ober and left, Like I think I was
in that. I was there in that mess for about
twenty minutes and then I got in there and left.
They said that that next day they made the entry
process and communication, as I mentioned, good better overall. They
also increased the number of roots picnic ambassadors that will
be at the front gates, because that was another thing too,
(15:46):
like it just wasn't enough people working it, which is
insane because the picnic has been around for so long
and I think that was a lot of people's issue.
People were recrossing refunds and even when I posted my
BMF like photo and stuff that I did for roots picnic,
I'm taking it in the streets to the tweet youth
to be outside, we outside, we outside okade. Every other page,
(16:09):
the people was dming me, I mean not dm and
people were tweeting me. People were commenting under my photo like, Hey,
are you gonna be reporting about this tomorrow on the
Breakfast Club on the podcast? Can we get our refunds? Hey,
anyway you could talk to And I'm like, I have
nothing to do with the picnic. I just was an attendee.
But I'm like, imagine if I had done all that
(16:30):
official content and kind of like was like an ambassador
officially for the picnic this year, Like not that they
plan to purposely put people in the position that some
people were putting, but I was so grateful that I
didn't do it, because I'm like, this would have been
something I don't even have anything to do with that.
People would have been looking at me too. So that
was my weekend. But that was a big like. I
saw a lot of the blogs posting people outside in
(16:54):
the rain, the mud. There was one like people were
like HP, y'all. It was a lot. It was a
lot going on. But nonetheless I enjoyed the weekend. I
didn't know. I do know that some people left that
first day. You know, there are some people travel in
from states in other countries, so they were they were
kind of stuck in Philly. So they did end up
returning the second day, had a good time. I'll have
(17:14):
a bunch of behind the scenes content from the roots picnic,
not the actual picnic, but from the events that I
did on my Instagram I'm Laura Rosa everywhere Twitter and
then also my YouTube channel. I have a blog that
I'm putting up as well. So yeah, we outside on
the internet because it is obviously I don't even ge
other side of the picnick because it was crazy. It
was in insane. But this has been the latest. But
Laura the Rose that thank you guys for tuning in
(17:36):
on the end. Yeah, tell a friend and telepriend you know,
low Ryders. This is right here where they need to
be at the end of the day. There's always a
lot to talk about, and y'all are right here with
me every single episode to talk about it. I appreciate you, guys,
and I will see you guys at my next episode.
