Mojo in the Morning's Journey on the thirty. You always
say it to Shannon and hearing after that's the last
time that will ever happen here on the Mojo in
the Morning Show. Yeah, speaking the last times, this may
be the last time that Kanye hosts or doesn't host
a festival. If you have no idea what's going on
with Kanye, the UK and the Wireless Festival, let me
(00:23):
catch you up to speed. So Wireless Festival announced that
Kanye would be headlining this three day event. It's going
to take place sometime in July. Everybody was incredibly excited.
Kanye is coming off of the first time he's performed
in the United States and so far he's drumming up
all of this excitement. Shortly after the announcement, Pepsi, the
(00:44):
title sponsor for the festival, announced that they would no
longer be sponsoring the event. That set off a list
of other companies to follow suit. Everybody started dropping out PayPal,
liquor brand called Diego that's responsible for Captain Morgan, Johnny Walker,
among others, And at that moment, Kanye was denied entry
(01:04):
into the UK. After he was denied entry Wireless Festival
put out a memo saying that they were canceling the
entire festival. But again, it's all started with Pepsi pulling
its sponsorship. So people started questioning, well, like, did PEPSI know?
Did Pepsi no? Kanye was headlining before all of this happened.
And we got an answer. Here's Melvin Been, the organizer
(01:26):
for Wireless Festival, talking about that very.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Thing we did with Pepsi for instance, I lead sponsor
and they signed off and approved it for example, and
perhaps we should have done Really that's fast as sorry
to interrupt, again, that's fascinating. So Pepsi, who's pulled out now,
haven't they? Pepsi Originally we're quite happy for him to
come correct. Yes, we are there a headline sponsored. We
asked them and asked them to sign off on it,
and they did.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
There you have it before we knew. PEPSI knew and
they had no problem. And amidst all of the things
that Kanye has said over the past couple of years,
a lot of people were unhappy on social voicing their
concerns and maybe that's the reason why Pepsi pulled out.
So we get no more Wireless Festival. They put out
a memo yesterday telling all of the people who purchase
(02:08):
tickets that they're getting their money back, So refunds are
taking place at this very moment. Switching gears. There's a
billionaire named Bill Akerman who announced yesterday that he is
interested in buying Universal Music Group. So interested he's already
pitched his offer sixty five billion dollars. Universal Music Group
(02:30):
has artists like Drake, Taylor Swift and a bunch of
other people, So keep your eyes on that. Universal Music
Group could be under new. Are they for sale? I
don't know if they're for sale, but there is a
decline I guess across the entire music industry in terms
of like how much people are actually making right now.
So I think this is eleven percent higher than the
current share price. So if they were to sell, they
(02:53):
would be making some money. Everyone has a price, everyone
has what's your price set?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
What are you willing to pay me.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Anything? Actress Aubrey Plaza, she is on Parks and Recreation.
May recognize her from her more recent roles on White Lotus. Unfortunately,
her husband passed away a year ago, but that's not
what we're talking about. She announced that her and her
boyfriend are expecting a child. A lot of people think
that this is fast. I mean, her husband died, you know,
(03:24):
a year ago. She's already not only moved on a relationship,
but she's expecting a baby. I don't know, happy for
her the new baby and her boyfriend. Congratulations. I wonder
if it was planned or you know, in accident the baby. Yeah,
I don't know, because you.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Know, regardless, congrats to that.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah, there we go, There we go. More congratulations are
in store for the women of the w NBA. New
