Ep. #367: Why?

“WHY?!” – That’s the question on Ed Lover’s mind this week. From Diddy’s explosive trial to Chris Brown’s latest legal woes, Ed wants to know—why are Black men constantly getting locked up while their white counterparts skate by? He breaks down the troubling trend with names like R. Kelly, Mystikal, Young Thug, Lauryn Hill, Fat Joe, and even himself in the mix—meanwhile, Trump and Kevin Spacey out here free as ever. Mrs. Fruit claps back with some justification behind those charges—but Ed’s still asking “WHY?”... especially when Diddy’s alleged behavior makes R. Kelly look tame! Semen and nipples?! Ed says Diddy might just be the Grand Master Freak of them all. Plus, Ed and Fruit take a wild ride through celebrity messiness—from the Cannes photographer who tried the WRONG one (Denzel Washington!), to Megan Thee Stallion’s conflicting stories, to Chris Brown’s million-dollar bail. Need a break from the madness? They lighten it up with a nostalgic trip through childhood candy—Now & Laters, Lemonheads, Boston Baked Beans—and throwback soda faves. And you already know what time it is: Fruit of the Week C’Mon Son! RoastUp this week: Chris Brown, the LA Lakers, Diddy, Taco Bell’s new chicken nuggets (WHY?!), and more foolishness from pop culture’s finest. Tap in. It’s a full ride this week.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
