On today’s episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast, the crew brings four compelling headlines that span culture, community, and controversy. First, hip-hop impresario Jermaine Dupri revealed he famously dropped nearly $10,000 a week at Atlanta’s iconic Magic City strip club over two decades—a flashy habit that fueled both nightlife legend and his new SoSo Def-branded docuseries Magic City: An American Fantasy. Then, in a powerful moment of Black female empowerment, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority welcomed eight new honorary members at its national convention—including Queen Latifah, Danielle Brooks, Donna Brazile, and more—honoring women whose impact aligns with the sorority’s mission of sisterhood, scholarship, and service.
The spotlight then switches to courtroom drama, as a federal judge slashed T.I. and Tiny Harris’s $71 million win in their OMG Doll lawsuit to about $17.9 million, citing insufficient proof of deliberate wrongdoing and ordering a retrial. Finally, in breaking news, Kanye “Ye” West faces fresh allegations from ex‑assistant Lauren Pisciotta—who accuses him of sexual assault, trafficking, stalking, and even “oral rape” on multiple counts—accusations his team vehemently denies.
