Usher is suing his longtime collaborator Bryan-Michael Cox and several business partners over an unpaid $700,000 balance from a $1.7 million loan intended for a Buckhead restaurant project that never materialized. Usher, who has worked with Cox on classics like Burn and U Got It Bad, is now seeking up to $4.9 million in damages after court documents allege the loan money was misused rather than applied to the property purchase as agreed.

Thank you so much. Bishop. All right, page right here,
Alfrita's good morning.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Good morning, Ricky. It's Wednesday, November nineteenth. Here's what's going
on in the news. The Senate has already approved the
Epstein files. Actually, that bill was a unanimous consent, meaning
they agreed to pass it without a formal vote. The
House passed it yesterday four twenty seven to one. That
lone nova vote was cast by Representative Clay Higgins. He's
(01:51):
a Republican from Louisiana. He said the bill in its
current form would reveal and injured thousands of innocent people,
witnesses and people who provide at Alibi's family members, etc.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Etc.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
However, the measure still has to be formally sent over
before the Senate concealed the deal. That paperwork is expected today.
The Senate's going to sign off instantly, and President Trump
says he'll put his signature on it the minute it
hits his desk. Now, in Chicago, community leaders are demanding
action after a disturbing video showed a woman and her
(02:25):
nine year old son being attacked by a group of kids. Now,
the incident happened Monday on the far South Side, and
both the mother and her son were hospitalized in serious condition.
Illinois State Senator Willie Preston did not hold back. He
called the video horrible and said neither the kids involved
nor other parents have faced any consequences. The boys mother
(02:48):
says he's been bullied at Bright Elementary for more than
two years and the school never stepp ten the video.
I couldn't watch it.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And a girl in the hospital, she was pregnant and
she has the video, and all the kids. They followed
the girl and the two kids home and they jumped
on all three of them and they beat them.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Bad in the hospital in serious conditions.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
It's crazy. It's disgusting.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Into animals discuss they need they need to arrisk parents
kids participate in stuff like this and do stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
When did you get that from.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
There were a lot of protesters outside of the schools.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
They was outside of that school. Chicago did not like it,
and they was outside of that school. They surrounded that school.
They wanted them kids and then I'll show your video.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
It's insane.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Yeah, they wanted answers and I don't think they got them.
So yeah, they waited a long time, and you know,
I'm glad that those parents in that community stood up
for those kids and that mom. And in Texas, redistricting
just hit a major speed bump courtesy of a federal court,
a three judge panel sided with Democrats and civil rights
groups who say it's racial jerrymandering. So Texas cannot use
(03:58):
those new geo he drawn congressional maps in next year's midterms,
at least not until a full trial plays out. Frim
fund these stories and more. Godaigsmiley Morning Show dot Com.
Now here's a look at sports.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Yeah, man, Hey, Lebron James made his season debut last
night Utah Jazz. He's twenty third season. That is a record,
Lebron's twenty third NBA season. Lakers beat Utah one twenty six,
one hundred and forty points. Man, What was Utah Jazz doing?
Not playing defense, obviously, but Lebron's in cruise control. Man,
(04:32):
you know what I'm saying. He had eleven points, twelve assists,
He only took seven shots. Here's a deal, man, Lo
It's just one game this season, but he's playing with
ease and flow, making his teammates look so much better.
He no longer has to be the dominant score that
takes twenty five to thirty shots a game.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I think what he's doing, right, he's saving that energy
for the finals.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Of course, of course, because you get to the finals
and then you burned out. He don't have nothing.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, but here's the deal.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
He's already the leading scorer of all time, so he
don't have to keep padding the stats no more. Like
it is what it is, and he's got a great team.
He's got a lot of great scorers on the team.
So yeah, he just gonna cruise this season. Man, Like
you say, stay healthy and then turn up in the
playoffs or whatever. Man, but he looked good. College football
playoff rankings also came out. Top three teams are the same,
a couple of shakeups after that. Ohio State is number one,
(05:17):
Indiana's number two, Texas A and M is number three.
Georgia is up to four, Texas, Texas five, Old Missus six,
Oregon seven, Oklahoma's eight, Notre Dame nine, and Alabama dropped
to ten. It looks like Texas is out of it
because they lost last week and they got three losses,
so it's they seventeenth, right, now, but I doubt they
(05:38):
be to get back into this playoff situation. But anything
can happen over the next couple of weeks. Man, it's
my quick sports support right there. Good morning, Bratt.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
Good morning, ro Te.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Well.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Y'all.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
USh just taking one of his long time producers to
court and this could get messy. I got the details
up next in the hotspot on the Ricky Smiley Morning Show.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Bratt, it's time for the hospital.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
We're gonna ignore that terrible, terrible board work name terrible blame.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Good morning, Ricky, Good morning everybody. I'm your girl, Brat
tat tat, and this is the hot spot when we
bring you music, movies and more so let's get off
into a y'all stupid well y'all. Usher is taking one
of his longtime producers, Brian Michael Cox, and several other
business associates and their attorney to court, claiming he has
not been repaid in full for the seventh figure loan
(06:30):
he made for a Buckhead restaurant that never opened. Cox
has worked on some of Usher's most successful records, including
Burn and You Got It Bad. Court documents state that
they approached Usher last year with the proposal to open
a restaurant and lounge called Homage at l H. The
plan involved buying property in Buckhead. Usher allegedly declined but
(06:52):
to become an investor and agreed instead to loan the
group one point seven million to be used for the
purchase of the property. Vitually months later, the property still
had not been been bought. Over the summer, Usher asked
that the loan be repaid. He says he received one
million in August but has not been paid the remaining
seven hundred thousand. The lawyer, the lawyer being sued acknowledged
(07:14):
that returning the rest of the money was not that
easy because the funds had been used for other purposes.
Usher was asking now for four point nine million in
damages or seven hundred thousand for each of the seven
claims listed in the lawsuit as of Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
But its open up a restaurant? What what you was
opening up a roof Chris building?
Speaker 6 (07:34):
I mean it was property in Buckhead.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
So you know, private oxtail restaurant. You know oxtails expense
requad how much checks are around? What shekels around?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, it took us eighty thousand dollars to open up
uptown comedy club.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
That's all. That's that's where we opened that club with
eighty thousand.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
I think they was buying the actual land too.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I'm like, well, how much need to go into a
damn restaurant? What they serving?
Speaker 6 (08:02):
But those are the damages. Four point nine million there
is what he's sewing back for the damages. And as
a Tuesday, there have been no counterclaims or for more
responses from Cox or the other defenders. That's crazy because
I know they friends and they like family, but I
don't know too much about it, so I don't want
to put my two cents in until I get some
more information. So y'all stay tuned and I'm gonna keep
(08:22):
y'all posted on that, all right, y'all. Yesterday, Nicki Minaj
became the first female rapper to address the United Nations
and thanked Donald Trump. Although she did not choose a
particular political side, she confronted the situation in Nigeria where
Trump was claimed, where Trump has claimed Christians are being
murdered simply for their faith. She firmly demanded urgent action
for the killings. And here's what she had to say.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
I would like to thank President Trump for prioritizing this
issue and for his leadership on the global stage and
calling for urgent action to defend Christians in Nigeria, to
combat extremism and to bring a stop to violence against
those who simply want to exercise their natural right to
freedom of religion or belief. In Nigeria, Christians are being targeted,
(09:09):
driven from their homes and killed. Georgia's have been burned,
families have been torn apart, and the entire communities live
in fear constantly simply because of how they pray.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
All right, y'all, any comments about that?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
You know, what's the name? Had reply to it? What's
the name? Black Lives Matter?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Our girl, Tamika Mallory had a very very nice reply
to Nicki Minaj aligning herself with Donald Trump or whatever.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
That made a lot of a lot of sense.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
She wasn't attacking Nicki Minaj, but just the way she
laid it out. But I think what you should do
is look at Tamika Mallory's brilliant response. Whatever we understand
Nicki minad trying to do the right thing, but sometimes
you line up with the wrong peoplem or whatever.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
But the way to Mika Mallory responded, was just it
was maybe we can get that yep to it.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
All right, y'all, we're gonna wrap up the hospital on
that note, But for more information on these stories and more,

to talk about sitting on the throne for slam Palace,
the seat of.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Power, the pot.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
World Toilet Day is basically a reminder to appreciate the
little things in life, like a toilet that actually flushes
on the first try, a bathroom with actual good lighting,
or that moment when you find one that isn't already
in use when you really really need it. Experts say
toilets are actually super important for public health and the environment,
but let's be honest, most of us are just grateful
(12:51):
when the workplace bathroom finally smells like something other than fear.

And bad decisions.

Even celebrities are jumping in on the fun. They are
taking toilet selfies. Yes, toilet selfie, y'all, No, they are

then I got the little drop that you drop in
the toilet prior to sitting on the tarlet just with
yes pooper it's it's like Pooper red, but it's a
little thing like an Alco celsie. And they got this
(14:10):

don't know too much about it, so I don't want
to put my two cents in until I get some
more information. So y'all stay tuned and I'm gonna keep
(08:22):
y'all posted on that, all right, y'all. Yesterday, Nicki Minaj
became the first female rapper to address the United Nations
and thanked Donald Trump. Although she did not choose a
particular political side, she confronted the situation in Nigeria where
Trump was claimed, where Trump has claimed Christians are being
murdered simply for their faith. She firmly demanded urgent action
for the killings. And here's what she had to say.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
I would like to thank President Trump for prioritizing this
issue and for his leadership on the global stage and
calling for urgent action to defend Christians in Nigeria, to
combat extremism and to bring a stop to violence against
those who simply want to exercise their natural right to
freedom of religion or belief. In Nigeria, Christians are being targeted,
(09:09):
driven from their homes and killed. Georgia's have been burned,
families have been torn apart, and the entire communities live
in fear constantly simply because of how they pray.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
All right, y'all, any comments about that?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
You know, what's the name? Had reply to it? What's
the name? Black Lives Matter?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Our girl, Tamika Mallory had a very very nice reply
to Nicki Minaj aligning herself with Donald Trump or whatever.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
That made a lot of a lot of sense.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
She wasn't attacking Nicki Minaj, but just the way she
laid it out. But I think what you should do
is look at Tamika Mallory's brilliant response. Whatever we understand
Nicki minad trying to do the right thing, but sometimes
you line up with the wrong peoplem or whatever.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
But the way to Mika Mallory responded, was just it
was maybe we can get that yep to it.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
All right, y'all, we're gonna wrap up the hospital on
that note, But for more information on these stories and more,

celebrating it. So here's the thing. Today is one day,
the one day of a year when it's perfectly acceptable
to talk about sitting on the throne for slam Palace,
the seat of.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Power, the pot.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
World Toilet Day is basically a reminder to appreciate the
little things in life, like a toilet that actually flushes
on the first try, a bathroom with actual good lighting,
or that moment when you find one that isn't already
in use when you really really need it. Experts say
toilets are actually super important for public health and the environment,
but let's be honest, most of us are just grateful
(12:51):
when the workplace bathroom finally smells like something other than fear.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
And bad decisions.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Even celebrities are jumping in on the fun. They are
taking toilet selfies. Yes, toilet selfie, y'all, No, they are
guess what. Kim Kardashian, Billie Eilish and many others have
been posting photos of themselves sitting on the commode to
mark the occasion. So today, take a moment and thank
(13:18):
your toilet for its service. Happy World towilet Day. So
I gotta ask, y'all, do you have any rituals? I
had a friend who would get like butt naked to
go on the pot.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
So do y'all have any rituals? That's that's I.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Have a uh I'm weird. Yeah, And my kids asked me, like,
do you ever ever do number two? I said, absolutely not.
I just can't do that freely.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
But I have to.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I have to.
Speaker 1 (13:46):

Speaker 2 (13:49):
I had to get button naked. The carpet have to
be right. There have to be right, to turn the
eater on or off. Bathroom can't be cold. I gotta
have everything. I even got the little dude wipes. And
then I got the little drop that you drop in
the toilet prior to sitting on the tarlet just with
yes pooper it's it's like Pooper red, but it's a
little thing like an Alco celsie. And they got this
(14:10):
little things that it's the same company that may do
as you drop it in the toilet. But let me
tell you something. I went over brad House and use
her toilet. Let me tell you something. That toilet washed
your balls And oh my gosh, what kind of tallet
