news and all of the conversations that shake the room.

the scenes of the Grind for all of my newcomers.

These are the people that ride with me, okay, through

which is a concert presented by Power One oh five
to one, which is the radio station that the Breakfast
(01:06):
Club is on here in New York City. Now, this
concert featured performances by my girl Lul Labrook Don't play
with her, Don't play with her. Zetti Will also took
the stage. My first time seeing him perform in person.
I made I keep saying this because to see new
artists in this TikTok era, in this social media era
(01:26):
that you know, we all Internet kids. So to see
artists even if they don't have like a full show
set developed, but just know how to work the crowd
and get the crowd going and interact with the crowd
and on the stage should be honest with you. Very
few far in between. So to see him perform and
do just that was very proud of him. He took
(01:48):
the stage, he brought out for one, brought out some
people for one. It's another artist here from New York
that New York goes crazy for. We also had ge
Herbal hit the stage. Now when you Herbal hit the stage,
because we were streaming live on the Breakfast Club's Twitch account,
and we were taking you guys as much as we
could into the actual pit so you could see the performances.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Go check that out. I hosted that stream.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
If you did not see it, it is on the
Breakfast Club am on Twitch and make sure you guys
are following me on titch as well too. I'm Lauren
LaRosa on Twitch and We're gonna start streaming on the weekends.
But we were trying to do as much as we could,
but we missed you Herbal's performance because we couldn't get
our connection right, like we were lagging. Our WiFi was
too many people. Because they're still producing digitally coverage of
(02:34):
the show outside of what we were doing for the
Breakfast Club, they're in the venue. So we missed you
Herbal on the Twitch. But I do have some content
of him that I'll be dropping on social Make sure
you guys are following me Laura l Roosa everywhere and
on twitch as well. And then after g Herbal, my girl,
Mariata Scientist pulled up Baby for the Love of Girls. Now,
(02:55):
this was an iconic moment because I got to introduce
Mariah the Scientists with Angela Ye and Angie Martinez.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Y'all.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Oh my god. Before we went on stage, y'all, I
was like, I'm living a dream right now. I literally
said that to them, like, oh, I'm living a dream
right now. And then Maria Scientists comes on stage and
when I tell y'all, baby, that was her mother, yo,
and y'all know, I don't even cuss.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I try to refrain from those type of words, especially
here on the podcast, because I know I got members
of all types of communities listening, from the church to
the club couch. Okay, everybody pulls up for the latest.
But let me tell y'all something. Mariah the Scientists owned
that show. I mean, she's such a sweetheart. She didn't
(03:37):
have to sing her songs. The crowd was going word
for word with her. And it was pretty dope too,
because I'd actually gotten a chance to meet Mariah Scientists
earlier that morning, I did a Santa Claus like toy
giveaway and clothing drive for the community in Jersey at
a Boys and Girls club over there. Shout out to
(03:58):
the Boys and Girls Club of Patters in New Jersey
and all the amazing team that I got to meet there,
and we got to treat them to this concert as
well too. They were able to come in and see
all of the talent and the acts. Take a day
off of all of the community work that they do.
But yes, it was amazing to get to meet her,
get to kind of see her energy, her spirit, which
(04:18):
was very like she's so chill, Like she is literally
the definition of a Southern Belt. I thought she was
chill in the morning when we were doing our give back,
because she said she had just landed off of a flight,
didn't want to be late, so she came straight there
barely even dressed, and I know she was going to sing,
you know, and she's singing live later that evening, so
I'm like, okay, sisters, preserving her voice. She is just
(04:39):
actually like a very soft spoken, sweet girl like I
love that for her. It made me even more sad though,
to think about a lot of the things that we've
seen her go through in her relationship with young Thug
over this year, because just in me, you know, how
you meet people and you're like, wow, this is a
good person, Like their heart is good. The inner actions
(05:00):
that I had with her, and we were only at
the Boys and Girls Club for you know, a few hours,
but literally that rang true when I met her, but
she shut it down though. Shout out to Marita Scientists
for coming out to the show as well, and then
the show closed out with Cash Kobain who brought Basswag
on the stage, and of course they took you all
the way through all of their hits that have been
ringing like crazy in New York and all over this year.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
So it was a good time again.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
You know, check out my social media Lauren the Rosa
everywhere if you want to check out some of those
performances and moments from the show. We were also live
on the Breakfast Club Twitch. So I'm feeling good. I
kicked off my week basically doing that because that started Saturday,
so kind of work started for me Saturday. Sunday, it
snowed here in New York and I was just home
(05:45):
prepping for the show. And in prepping for the show,
I got a chance to watch the Kanye West in
Whose Name documentary. Now this documentary has it was already released.
It released in theaters sometime ago, like some months ago
in AMC theaters with this.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Director who you know.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
The conversation around him has been the fact that at
eighteen years old, with no real experience outside of just
like school and figuring things out, he was given the
opportunity to shadow Kanye West for two years because Kanye
wanted to do a documentary all about his mental health
and the stigmas around it and showing people, you know
that this is you know, you gotta love people through
this basically and kind of way he goes through his
(06:28):
challenges as an artist, a father, a husband, and just
all of the things dealing.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
With his mental health struggles.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Now that asked me this morning on the Breakfast Club
whether this doc was authorized, And I know that the
filming of Kanye West was authorized because he's literally talking
to the camera talking about, you know, how the through
line and.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Telling the story would be. But there are some reports
on sources.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I remember US Weekly did a story on sources that
Kanye West, although it was authorized to have been recorded,
there were issues because he didn't have full editor or control.
But we haven't heard anything from him on this dock
since its release. Y'all know, he's been kind of out
the way. But there were parts of the documentary that
I was just like, I'm watching him, like, oh my god,
(07:15):
I can't even believe that, like something like this is
being recorded. So Kanye West is headed to the White
House to meet Trump. You guys, remember he famously went
to the White House to have that conversation with Trump
wearing the MAGA hat, and on his way into the
White House, he calls Jared Kushner, who's a part of,
you know, the Trump administration, to make sure that he
(07:35):
is safe walking. And the reason why this like struck
me because I'm like for someone who you know, mentally
kind of.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Goes in and out of.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Whether his decision making is tracking and making sense for
his day to day life. Kanye West was very well
aware of the fact that that had made him a target,
and he still decided to go forward with a lot
of the things we watched him after that.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Let's take a listen, sir.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
There's Jared Kushner that wants to speak to you.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Okay, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
No, I need to go the exact way that a
foreign dignitaria would go.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
That's the only way I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
And I have to go the exact way that a
foreign dignitaria would go. That's the only way I'm gonna go.
In wait, wait, listen, listen to me.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I'm not gonna step outside.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I'm not gonna put my life in danger.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I put my life in danger by wearing the hat,
and I need to be loved and respected as such
because it could be.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Someone out there that could be trying to take a
shot at me.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
There's people who potentially want to kill me for wearing
this hat.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
I have the hat on as we speak, and we
need me because if I get killed from wearing the
hat in front of the White House, You're not gonna
win any mid terms.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
You're not gonna Listen, listen, finish.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Listening to me and hear me.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
So then after this moment and then you know, the
White House moment happens.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Again.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
All of this stuff is some years ago, right, So
the White House moment happens with Kanye when he's in
the car, Kim Kardashian calls him and I mean, she
is in tears, just talking about what the consequences of
his actions in the political space could mean for her.
They're family, but for him, let's take a listen.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I just it's like I can't sleep. I've been crying
all day.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
It's just this bad dream that's not ending. For your
losing everyone around you is like, there's a way to
talk about what you feel.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Well, who's everyone, who's know, who's everyone around me?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Tell me who everyone is. I'm just saying people in
the music business, people in the mood.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I don't care about the music business.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I don't care about the work.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Feel this is, I'm in a slave business.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I'm a slave to the universal.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
What are you talking about? Of course they're losing.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Just because you have a job and you work hard
doesn't mean you're a slave. That's the meaning. And I'm
not about burning bridges with companies.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
You're gonna wake up one day and you're gonna have
like nothing, because no one's gonna you.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Know, no, never never tell me I'm gonna no never,
you know, Never tell me I'm gonna wake up one
day and have nothing.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Never put that into the universe.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
This documentary, you know, it is very It's hard to
watch because it is very invasive. There's like arguments with
you know, Kim Kardashian even some of his family members,
and you just kind of see the sporadic behavior that
is caused by the mental health issues that he is
dealing with. You also see why it could potentially I mean,
(10:29):
I don't know where he is with, you know, maintaining
taking his medicines and different things. Today in twenty twenty five,
but you see during this time why things could have
been difficult, not even could have, but were difficult for
people in his life, including some family members, Kim just
anybody that was in his life, because he was so
dead set on not taking medicines and working through all
(10:51):
of the sporadic decisions he was making and you know,
deciding to move back home to Chicago. Kim found out
about that literally from the internet, he says in this documentary.
Just different things that have happened, and it just made me,
you know, think about, even just in the news and
in the media covering some of these moments, how much
(11:12):
onus do we put on him and you know, just
wanting to cause conversation, And because there was a bit
of that, I did get a bit of that from
this of like, you know, he knows what he's doing.
You know, he's a megastar. He's been here, done that, right.
But then also too, there are moments where it's like,
you know, he loves his wife at the time, which
was Kim Kardashian. Then there are family members, like there's
(11:35):
like a cousin of his that is, you know, with
him as he's making some decisions when they're on like
a international trip, and it's like, you know, he loves
these people. You know, he loves you know, his art
and everything he's creating, but everything he's doing in response
to it is tearing it down. So then that's when
the mental health part of it comes in, and it's
like for people in his life, it's hard because it's
(11:57):
like you're not dealing with him all the time. You're
dealing with the illness that he is dealing with right
and how well that is or is not managed. And
he's talked about not wanting to take medicines for various reasons,
including how they make him feel when he's trying to create.
So it's just, you know, it was it was a
very tough watch for that instance, especially if you are
(12:18):
a Kanye West fan. But I think if the goal
is to expose people to the reality and the rawness of,
you know, people who deal with mental health issues on
a daily while also dealing with real life, it definitely
did that. It definitely made me think about the conversations
I have about Kanye West and the things that he
(12:40):
even I thought back to the mayback and Kim on
Kim on Call Her Daddy podcast and her talking about
him giving away his maybacks, and I think she tried
her best explain, you know, how difficult things were because
his behaviors had began to change as his mental health
issues really set in.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
But I don't even think she did the best job
explaining it there.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I think people picked it up as if he was
just this like crazy And I don't mean crazy to
like down people dealing with mental health. I mean it
like this sporadic person who just has horrible decision making,
and then you watch his doc and it's like, oh no,
it's so much deeper than that. So yeah, I mean,
I don't know how many people in twenty twenty five
honestly want to even care enough to humanize Kanye West
(13:26):
because of some of the things that he's done and
he said, and all the ups and downs he's taken
fans through and the people through and all of that.
But it did it for me for sure. And I
was at TMZ when he did the Slavery is a
Choice conversation and seeing his sporadic personality change in real
life did that as well. But seeing more of it
(13:48):
here and knowing that this was such a constant thing
with people really close to him definitely makes you put
things into a perspective a lot, a whole lot differently.
Now switching gears a bit, we are going to head
on over to a story that broke Sunday here in
New York City. So senior Trey Songs was arrested for
(14:10):
us SAW after allegedly punching a New York nightclub employee
in the face earlier this month. So this went down
earlier this month, earlier in December, December fourth, is what
the report state. And they alleged that this happened after
the employee told him that the spot that he was at,
the club he was at was closing. Now the reason
why so he saw a judge on Sunday for this,
(14:33):
but the reason why he was in police custody Sunday,
and I talked about this morning on the Breakfast Club.
But I have a bit more clarity since speaking to
you know, sources close to Trade Songs and further getting
information following a statement I received from Trey Song's attorney.
So from what I am told right, Trey Songs was
(14:55):
at a different nightclub called mer here in New York
City over the weeks. I am told that there was
an alleged altercation that happened. I'm told that there was
a party involved outside of Trey Songs, so it was like,
you know, Trade Songs and his people and there was
a party that they got into it with. From what
(15:18):
I'm told, there's allegations of a gun being pulled at
some point because there was a big fight that ensued
and there was a bunch of damages to this local lounge,
just like a hookah lounge. So because of the fight,
you know, things were broken. There are allegations of chairs
and different things, hookahs, different things being broken because of
the fight. At some point when this physical altercation occurs,
(15:42):
i am told that there's an alleged gun that was shown,
which is you know, it made everything even worse. So
they made the fight and everything even worse. Once everything
calmed down and the parties were broken up, I'm told
that Trey Songs offered to pay for the damages that
were done and tried to explain kind of what happened.
And I'm told, you know that trying to explain that
he was like defending himself a bit. But at one
(16:05):
point the club owner was okay to just allow him
to cover damages to move on. But then police were
called and he was arrested. I did ask, what was
this issue even about, Like, what was so upsetting that
you are fighting at because you know, at this point
it's wee hours of the morning. You're fighting wee hours
of the morning in the club. You're not out having
a good time. You're supposed to be, you know, drinking,
(16:25):
having a good time with your people. And from what
I'm told, it was it's alleged that there was a
woman who wanted to join Trey Songs's like party that
he was partying with, so you know, his area where
he was wanted to join that, and there are another
group of people who she had formerly been partying with
had an issue with that from what I'm told, and
these allegations I'm told are what spent into this big situation,
(16:51):
altercation that led to him getting arrested. When he was
placed into cuffs and arrested Sunday, they then saw, you know,
that there was that he had also had to face
charges for an altercation that happened, you know, a few
weeks earlier in a nightclub in New York City. So
(17:11):
he saw a judge. He was released on his own recognents.
And he has to go back to court later in February. Now,
if I'm Trey Songs at this point, not even because
of this incident, because there's been so many other alleged incidents,
I probably would be staying home, my behind home at this.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Point, Like I just would.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I feel like the easiest way to not get into
anything is to not be around for nothing, which is
a horrible life to have to live. But you know,
in the statement that I received from his attorney, and
I'll read that statement to you guys, one of those
things that they pointed out was that they believe that
Trey Songs, as a public figure, is often treated as
(17:51):
a target for instigation in pursuit of headlines or financial gain.
His attorney says, we are confident that the facts will
speak for themselves. If it's to that point where I'm
having to say that multiple times, after multiple allegations and
think I'm just staying home, I am, like I really
just am, because nothing's going to happen here.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
But he's going to go back to court.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Even if this is thrown out, the headline of him
being arrested, and you know, all of the allegations is
always going to be way bigger than the follow up.
If I'm being honest with you, guys, I would just
stay home like I honestly would at this point, and
I mean.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Trey, so put out some new music.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Stay home, put out the music, stay out the way,
work like or also too, I mean you could do
your own private situation. I mean no, because then allegations
come from that too.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
It's a leads along the road. So all I know
is what I've recorded to y'all. I don't know how
people should live their lives at this point. Twenty twenty
five is a different time, and it is, but I
always appreciate you guys being right here with me to
talk all about it, my Low Riders.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
At the end of the day, you guys.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Could be anywhere with anybody having conversations about these things
with y'all tunes to be right in here with me,
and I am.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
So appreciative of you guys for that, My Low Riders.
I will see you in my next episode.
I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything
and everybody.

here on the podcast, because I know I got members
of all types of communities listening, from the church to
the club couch. Okay, everybody pulls up for the latest.
But let me tell y'all something. Mariah the Scientists owned
that show. I mean, she's such a sweetheart. She didn't
(03:37):
have to sing her songs. The crowd was going word

But yes, it was amazing to get to meet her,
get to kind of see her energy, her spirit, which
(04:18):
was very like she's so chill, Like she is literally
the definition of a Southern Belt. I thought she was
chill in the morning when we were doing our give back,
because she said she had just landed off of a flight,
didn't want to be late, so she came straight there
barely even dressed, and I know she was going to sing,
you know, and she's singing live later that evening, so
I'm like, okay, sisters, preserving her voice. She is just
(04:39):
actually like a very soft spoken, sweet girl like I
love that for her. It made me even more sad though,
to think about a lot of the things that we've
seen her go through in her relationship with young Thug
over this year, because just in me, you know, how
you meet people and you're like, wow, this is a
good person, Like their heart is good. The inner actions
(05:00):
that I had with her, and we were only at
the Boys and Girls Club for you know, a few hours,
but literally that rang true when I met her, but
she shut it down though. Shout out to Marita Scientists
for coming out to the show as well, and then
the show closed out with Cash Kobain who brought Basswag
on the stage, and of course they took you all
the way through all of their hits that have been
ringing like crazy in New York and all over this year.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
So it was a good time again.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
You know, check out my social media Lauren the Rosa
everywhere if you want to check out some of those
performances and moments from the show. We were also live
on the Breakfast Club Twitch. So I'm feeling good. I
kicked off my week basically doing that because that started Saturday,
so kind of work started for me Saturday. Sunday, it
snowed here in New York and I was just home
(05:45):
prepping for the show. And in prepping for the show,
I got a chance to watch the Kanye West in
Whose Name documentary. Now this documentary has it was already released.
It released in theaters sometime ago, like some months ago
in AMC theaters with this.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Director who you know.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
The conversation around him has been the fact that at
eighteen years old, with no real experience outside of just
like school and figuring things out, he was given the
opportunity to shadow Kanye West for two years because Kanye
wanted to do a documentary all about his mental health
and the stigmas around it and showing people, you know
that this is you know, you gotta love people through
this basically and kind of way he goes through his
(06:28):
challenges as an artist, a father, a husband, and just
all of the things dealing.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
With his mental health struggles.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Now that asked me this morning on the Breakfast Club
whether this doc was authorized, And I know that the
filming of Kanye West was authorized because he's literally talking
to the camera talking about, you know, how the through
line and.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Telling the story would be. But there are some reports
on sources.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I remember US Weekly did a story on sources that
Kanye West, although it was authorized to have been recorded,
there were issues because he didn't have full editor or control.
But we haven't heard anything from him on this dock
since its release. Y'all know, he's been kind of out
the way. But there were parts of the documentary that
I was just like, I'm watching him, like, oh my god,
(07:15):
I can't even believe that, like something like this is
being recorded. So Kanye West is headed to the White
House to meet Trump. You guys, remember he famously went
to the White House to have that conversation with Trump
wearing the MAGA hat, and on his way into the
White House, he calls Jared Kushner, who's a part of,
you know, the Trump administration, to make sure that he
(07:35):
is safe walking. And the reason why this like struck
me because I'm like for someone who you know, mentally
kind of.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Goes in and out of.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Whether his decision making is tracking and making sense for
his day to day life. Kanye West was very well
aware of the fact that that had made him a target,
and he still decided to go forward with a lot
of the things we watched him after that.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Let's take a listen, sir.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
There's Jared Kushner that wants to speak to you.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Okay, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
No, I need to go the exact way that a
foreign dignitaria would go.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
That's the only way I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
And I have to go the exact way that a
foreign dignitaria would go. That's the only way I'm gonna go.
In wait, wait, listen, listen to me.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I'm not gonna step outside.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I'm not gonna put my life in danger.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I put my life in danger by wearing the hat,
and I need to be loved and respected as such
because it could be.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Someone out there that could be trying to take a
shot at me.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
There's people who potentially want to kill me for wearing
this hat.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
I have the hat on as we speak, and we
need me because if I get killed from wearing the
hat in front of the White House, You're not gonna
win any mid terms.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
You're not gonna Listen, listen, finish.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Listening to me and hear me.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
So then after this moment and then you know, the
White House moment happens.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Again.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
All of this stuff is some years ago, right, So
the White House moment happens with Kanye when he's in
the car, Kim Kardashian calls him and I mean, she
is in tears, just talking about what the consequences of
his actions in the political space could mean for her.
They're family, but for him, let's take a listen.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I just it's like I can't sleep. I've been crying
all day.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
It's just this bad dream that's not ending. For your
losing everyone around you is like, there's a way to
talk about what you feel.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Well, who's everyone, who's know, who's everyone around me?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Tell me who everyone is. I'm just saying people in
the music business, people in the mood.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I don't care about the music business.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I don't care about the work.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Feel this is, I'm in a slave business.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I'm a slave to the universal.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
What are you talking about? Of course they're losing.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Just because you have a job and you work hard
doesn't mean you're a slave. That's the meaning. And I'm
not about burning bridges with companies.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
You're gonna wake up one day and you're gonna have
like nothing, because no one's gonna you.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Know, no, never never tell me I'm gonna no never,
you know, Never tell me I'm gonna wake up one
day and have nothing.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Never put that into the universe.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
This documentary, you know, it is very It's hard to
watch because it is very invasive. There's like arguments with
you know, Kim Kardashian even some of his family members,
and you just kind of see the sporadic behavior that
is caused by the mental health issues that he is
dealing with. You also see why it could potentially I mean,
(10:29):
I don't know where he is with, you know, maintaining
taking his medicines and different things. Today in twenty twenty five,
but you see during this time why things could have
been difficult, not even could have, but were difficult for
people in his life, including some family members, Kim just
anybody that was in his life, because he was so
dead set on not taking medicines and working through all
(10:51):
of the sporadic decisions he was making and you know,
deciding to move back home to Chicago. Kim found out
about that literally from the internet, he says in this documentary.
Just different things that have happened, and it just made me,
you know, think about, even just in the news and
in the media covering some of these moments, how much
(11:12):
onus do we put on him and you know, just
wanting to cause conversation, And because there was a bit
of that, I did get a bit of that from
this of like, you know, he knows what he's doing.
You know, he's a megastar. He's been here, done that, right.
But then also too, there are moments where it's like,
you know, he loves his wife at the time, which
was Kim Kardashian. Then there are family members, like there's
(11:35):
like a cousin of his that is, you know, with
him as he's making some decisions when they're on like
a international trip, and it's like, you know, he loves
these people. You know, he loves you know, his art
and everything he's creating, but everything he's doing in response
to it is tearing it down. So then that's when
the mental health part of it comes in, and it's
like for people in his life, it's hard because it's
(11:57):
like you're not dealing with him all the time. You're
dealing with the illness that he is dealing with right
and how well that is or is not managed. And
he's talked about not wanting to take medicines for various reasons,
including how they make him feel when he's trying to create.
So it's just, you know, it was it was a
very tough watch for that instance, especially if you are
(12:18):
a Kanye West fan. But I think if the goal
is to expose people to the reality and the rawness of,
you know, people who deal with mental health issues on
a daily while also dealing with real life, it definitely
did that. It definitely made me think about the conversations
I have about Kanye West and the things that he
(12:40):
even I thought back to the mayback and Kim on
Kim on Call Her Daddy podcast and her talking about
him giving away his maybacks, and I think she tried
her best explain, you know, how difficult things were because
his behaviors had began to change as his mental health
issues really set in.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
But I don't even think she did the best job
explaining it there.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I think people picked it up as if he was
just this like crazy And I don't mean crazy to
like down people dealing with mental health. I mean it
like this sporadic person who just has horrible decision making,
and then you watch his doc and it's like, oh no,
it's so much deeper than that. So yeah, I mean,
I don't know how many people in twenty twenty five
honestly want to even care enough to humanize Kanye West
(13:26):
because of some of the things that he's done and
he said, and all the ups and downs he's taken
fans through and the people through and all of that.
But it did it for me for sure. And I
was at TMZ when he did the Slavery is a
Choice conversation and seeing his sporadic personality change in real
life did that as well. But seeing more of it
(13:48):
here and knowing that this was such a constant thing
with people really close to him definitely makes you put
things into a perspective a lot, a whole lot differently.
Now switching gears a bit, we are going to head
on over to a story that broke Sunday here in
New York City. So senior Trey Songs was arrested for
(14:10):
us SAW after allegedly punching a New York nightclub employee
in the face earlier this month. So this went down
earlier this month, earlier in December, December fourth, is what
the report state. And they alleged that this happened after
the employee told him that the spot that he was at,
the club he was at was closing. Now the reason
why so he saw a judge on Sunday for this,
(14:33):
but the reason why he was in police custody Sunday,
and I talked about this morning on the Breakfast Club.
But I have a bit more clarity since speaking to
you know, sources close to Trade Songs and further getting
information following a statement I received from Trey Song's attorney.
So from what I am told right, Trey Songs was
(14:55):
at a different nightclub called mer here in New York
City over the weeks. I am told that there was
an alleged altercation that happened. I'm told that there was
a party involved outside of Trey Songs, so it was like,
you know, Trade Songs and his people and there was
a party that they got into it with. From what
(15:18):
I'm told, there's allegations of a gun being pulled at
some point because there was a big fight that ensued
and there was a bunch of damages to this local lounge,
just like a hookah lounge. So because of the fight,
you know, things were broken. There are allegations of chairs
and different things, hookahs, different things being broken because of
the fight. At some point when this physical altercation occurs,
(15:42):
i am told that there's an alleged gun that was shown,
which is you know, it made everything even worse. So
they made the fight and everything even worse. Once everything
calmed down and the parties were broken up, I'm told
that Trey Songs offered to pay for the damages that
were done and tried to explain kind of what happened.
And I'm told, you know that trying to explain that
he was like defending himself a bit. But at one
(16:05):
point the club owner was okay to just allow him
to cover damages to move on. But then police were
called and he was arrested. I did ask, what was
this issue even about, Like, what was so upsetting that
you are fighting at because you know, at this point
it's wee hours of the morning. You're fighting wee hours
of the morning in the club. You're not out having
a good time. You're supposed to be, you know, drinking,
(16:25):
having a good time with your people. And from what
I'm told, it was it's alleged that there was a
woman who wanted to join Trey Songs's like party that
he was partying with, so you know, his area where
he was wanted to join that, and there are another
group of people who she had formerly been partying with
had an issue with that from what I'm told, and
these allegations I'm told are what spent into this big situation,
(16:51):
altercation that led to him getting arrested. When he was
placed into cuffs and arrested Sunday, they then saw, you know,
that there was that he had also had to face
charges for an altercation that happened, you know, a few
weeks earlier in a nightclub in New York City. So
(17:11):
he saw a judge. He was released on his own recognents.
And he has to go back to court later in February. Now,
if I'm Trey Songs at this point, not even because
of this incident, because there's been so many other alleged incidents,
I probably would be staying home, my behind home at this.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Point, Like I just would.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I feel like the easiest way to not get into
anything is to not be around for nothing, which is
a horrible life to have to live. But you know,
in the statement that I received from his attorney, and
I'll read that statement to you guys, one of those
things that they pointed out was that they believe that
Trey Songs, as a public figure, is often treated as
(17:51):
a target for instigation in pursuit of headlines or financial gain.
His attorney says, we are confident that the facts will
speak for themselves. If it's to that point where I'm
having to say that multiple times, after multiple allegations and
think I'm just staying home, I am, like I really
just am, because nothing's going to happen here.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
But he's going to go back to court.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Even if this is thrown out, the headline of him
being arrested, and you know, all of the allegations is
always going to be way bigger than the follow up.
If I'm being honest with you, guys, I would just
stay home like I honestly would at this point, and
I mean.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Trey, so put out some new music.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Stay home, put out the music, stay out the way,
work like or also too, I mean you could do
your own private situation. I mean no, because then allegations
come from that too.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
It's a leads along the road. So all I know
is what I've recorded to y'all. I don't know how
people should live their lives at this point. Twenty twenty
five is a different time, and it is, but I
always appreciate you guys being right here with me to
talk all about it, my Low Riders.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
At the end of the day, you guys.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Could be anywhere with anybody having conversations about these things
with y'all tunes to be right in here with me,
and I am.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
So appreciative of you guys for that, My Low Riders.
I will see you in my next episode.
