Emanny from Joe Budden Pod Talks Interracial Love, Black Masculinity & Growth

In this revealing episode of the xoMAN Podcast, R&B singer and podcaster Emanny sits down with host Kiara Walker to talk about love, loss, masculinity, and becoming a better man. From growing up in a household of women to raising sons of his own, Emanny opens up about how his upbringing shaped his emotional maturity, romantic relationships, and musical journey.

He reflects on past mistakes, including moving off ego, cheating himself out of quality love, and learning the hard way that real growth takes vulnerability and accountability. The two also dive into his time on The Joe Budden Podcast, being labeled "toxic," how he handles internet criticism, and the evolution of his artistry.

Whether you're here for the real talk, the dating stories, or the musical inspiration, this episode is full of gems.
