Trust betrayed, time wasted, and the painful reality of being used—this episode, we dive into the shocking breakup between Kenny Rodriguez and JaNa Craig from Love Island Season 6. What appeared to be a beautiful love story spanning nearly a year has unraveled into something far more disturbing and all too familiar for many Black women.
The breakup between Kenny and JaNa has unleashed a firestorm that goes far beyond reality TV drama. What looked like a fairytale romance—from their third-place finish to nearly a year of seemingly happy dating—has crumbled into something far more sinister. According to allegations, Kenny wasn't just dishonest; he was in a relationship with JaNa solely for fame and financial gain while privately using racial slurs and expressing disdain for Black women.
This episode dives deep into why this situation resonates so painfully with many Black women. The constant questioning of intentions, the fear of being used, the exhaustion of navigating a world that simultaneously exploits and devalues your existence—these aren't just relationship concerns but daily realities. When someone fakes an entire relationship for a year, it doesn't just waste time; it fundamentally alters your perception of reality and trust.
The most troubling aspect of this whole situation? The impulse to blame JaNa rather than hold Kenny accountable. When every action reveals a society more comfortable questioning Black women's judgment than confronting the harmful behaviors directed toward them, we need to have uncomfortable conversations about protection, value, and humanity.
Black women deserve love without ulterior motives. We deserve relationships built on truth. And if you can't offer that? Please, just leave us alone.

Daijné (00:01):

Hello, hello, uh-oh, anotheryapper with a mic.
Hello everyone, and welcomeback to the napkin in Between
podcast.
I am your host, Daijné Jones.
I hope everyone's been having agood week, except for that
(00:21):
orange drink lady, of course.
This week has been insane, tosay the fucking least.
There's too the fuck much goingon.
Mercury clearly has her microbraids in and they're braided
way too tight.
Because, like, what the fuckwas this week, bro?
Like I feel like every day itwas something new or something
happening, somebody doingsomething.
(00:43):
Like girl, too the fuck muchgoing on.
I also feel like, is it just meor does anyone else feel like
July was the longest month ever?
Like I was like checking myphone, my calendar, and like, oh
, it's still July, okay.
Oh, it's still July, okay.
Like I just feel like it was sofucking long.
And for what?
Like damn July, you just shejust took her shoes off, sat
(01:06):
down, didn't have nowhere to be.
It's like when you know, likewhen you're trying to end a
conversation, you're just likedamn.
Like, oh, that's crazy.
Like I had to say that's crazyso many times because July was
just still here.
Like, girl, go, don't you havesomewhere to be like what the
fuck?
But I just feel like especiallylast week, longest week of my
life in the longest month of theyear like too much going on.
(01:28):
So last week, one thing thatmade me really smile and was the
peak of my week was justtalking to my mom on the phone.
My mom and I don't talk on thephone a lot because neither one
of us are phone callers.
Like this call could have beena text, you know what I mean.
That's how me and my mom, butevery so often I like to call
her because I like to hear hervoice, because she's my best
friend, like she told me all thetime I'm not one of your little
(01:49):
friends, girl, you are one ofmy little friends.
Like you're like my bestestfriend.
You know what I mean.
Like I love, like my mom isjust my best friend and I just
love talking to her.
She's so funny, she's so smart,she just.
I just feel like she's trulylike a superhero to me, like my
biggest inspiration, the onethat I look up to more than
(02:11):
anything.
And I'm so grateful for ourrelationship, because growing up
like I've talked about this alittle bit before I, my mom
wasn't around right, like I wasraised by my grandmother, who
technically isn't my biologicalgrandmother.
She's my sister's grandmotherbecause she's my sister's
grandmother on my sister's dad'sside.
My sister and I have differentdads and my mom wasn't really
(02:32):
around growing up and you knowwe didn't really reconnect until
I was 18.
Yeah, I started being raisedwith my grandma at eight and
then my mom and I didn'treconnect until I was like 18 or
19 it was my freshman year ofcollege and so, like, going from
like really not having her tolike her being my best friend,
(02:55):
I'm so grateful for it becausegrowing up, my mom made some
choices that weren't idealconversation for another day but
I honestly wouldn't change asingle thing about it.
I feel like I realized thatlike, yeah, she made some
choices that weren't the best,but she's just a girl.
She's just a girl trying herbest in the fucking world, you
(03:15):
know.
And not only that, but like, mymom and I have had so many
conversations and you know she'sgenuinely apologized for the
things that she's done, and I'veseen her make amazing changes
and it's just like.
I'm so grateful for that becauseI know that there are people
who, you know, don't have theirmoms in childhood and then also
(03:36):
adulthood, and I I genuinelydon't know what I would do
without my mom.
She's literally like I said.
She's like a superhero to me.
Anything that I have going on,I call my mom.
She's literally like I said.
She's like a superhero to me.
Anything that I have going on,I call my mom.
Anything that I need help on, Icall my mom.
Like she's truly justeverything and more to me, and
I'm so grateful that her and Iwere able to mend our
relationship because she's she'sgenuinely just like everything
(04:00):
to me.
And I can't imagine I feel Ifeel so blessed because, like
again, yeah, she, maybe shewasn't there during my childhood
, but she's there now and that'sreally all that matters.
She's there and we have thebest relationship.
And so, with everything going onthis week and like pop culture
and the world and everything,like I just called her to talk
(04:21):
about all of it and some of it.
Like obviously she understoodwhen we talked about like Trump
and stuff like that.
She keeps up with that stufftoo, so she understood that.
But, like when I startedtalking about pop culture, she
wouldn't understand or know thepeople that I'm talking about,
but she's gonna sit there, she'sgonna listen and she's gonna,
you know, just let me vent aboutlike all the crazy shit that's
happening in the world and she'sjust, she's become one of my
(04:42):
little friends, like that's mylittle friend, that is my little
friend and I'm just so grateful.
I hope to one day have her onthe pod so we can talk, and
she's been in a couple of myvideos on TikTok and stuff.
But like I just I love havingconversations with her.
She's just everything and moreto me.
So, mommy, if you're watchingthis which I know you are
because you're my biggest fanand you're one of my little
(05:03):
friends I love you and, um, I'mjust so grateful for you and I'm
so grateful for ourrelationship, and our
relationship just meanseverything to me and I would not
change a single thing for theworld and I love the person you
are, I love your heart and Ilove everything about you.
So I don't want to get sappy onthe pod but, yeah, shout out to
moms, because moms are reallysuperheroes, like they really
(05:25):
are.
And once you realize that, likeshe's just a girl, she's just a
girl trying her best, it justchanges everything and again
like that, coupled withapologies that my mom has given
me for, you know, mistakes thatshe may have made in the past,
like.
I feel so blessed about that,because people don't get those
mom's's parents, they don'tapologize, they don't own up to
(05:46):
their mistakes or things thatthey have done in the past that
you know affected our lives, andI'm so grateful that my mom is
like hey, you know, like I'msorry, and not only like and I'm
sorry, but like also changebehavior, because, as we know,
an apology without changebehavior is just words.
So, yeah, I'm just reallygrateful for my mom and I just I
(06:07):
love her so much and she'struly just everything and more
to me.
So I don't know, I just love mymom like she's my best friend
and I she's my mommy, like she'sjust a girl and she's doing her
best and you know, that's allwe can ask of anybody.
So that has been the peak of myweek.
Please tell me the peak of yourweek something, something that
helped you smile, kept yougrounded, kept you sane in the
chaos of the world.
(06:28):
Speaking of chaos, as I said inthe beginning of this episode
too the fuck much going on thisweek.
Just everybody is fuckingwiling.
And one thing that really hurtme this week what we're going to
talk about today, kenny andJanae break up.
The one we're gonna talk abouttoday.
Kenny and janae breakup.
(06:49):
Kenny.
When I catch you, kenny, when Icatch you, bitch, when I
fucking catch you.
Oh my god, I feel so manyemotions when it comes to kenny
and janae and their relationshipand their breakup and
everything, and more thananything, I just feel so
(07:11):
incredibly heartbroken for janae, because you can just tell
janae is just someone who lovesand wants to be loved like she
has the most bubbly spirit thatI think I've ever seen on
reality TV.
She truly wears her heart onher sleeve, gives and just just
just loves and wants to be lovedand to see someone play in her
(07:34):
face.
That's not, I feel, like that'snot even strong enough.
Like that man is psychotic,insane, psychopathic behavior.
So for anyone who doesn't knowwhat I'm talking about, janae,
craig and kenny rodriguez Ithink it's his last name were
two people on season six of loveisland.
Janae was a part of the maincast and kenny was a bombshell
(07:57):
in the season and from the startof her journey until kenny came
into the villa j, janae had itrough.
She, you know.
She put herself out there.
She was coupled up with acouple of people who weren't
returning the energy that shewas giving to them.
You know their heads wereturning to other people.
Like she just was, she washaving a time in the villa and
(08:18):
not like in a good way, likezero out of ten not having a
good time.
And then Kenny comes in and isfinally giving her the energy
that she, you know, has wantedand has been giving to other
people and it truly felt likeshe had kissed so many frogs in
the villa and she finally foundher prince.
Like it truly was.
Like oh my God, finally thiswoman, this black woman, is
(08:41):
finally getting the love thatshe deserves.
Right, they make it to thefinals of love island.
They place third in you knowthe whole season and they date
outside of the villa for almosta year.
Fast forward to last sunday, outof nowhere.
Like there's reports thatthey've broken up.
(09:03):
Like she took his name out ofher bio, deleted all their
pictures except for brandedcontent and like turned her
comments off.
So clearly everyone's like whatthe fuck is going on?
Because kenny and janay, theyseem like a great couple.
He seemed like he really lovedher, she really loved him.
Like they seemed good for allintents and purposes.
Come to find out they broke up.
(09:24):
She puts out a statement.
Basically it's just like hey,we're not together anymore.
I've seen all of the breakuprumors because there were rumors
that like he cheated or like hebecame physical with her, like
something, and everyone knewlike he, so he had done
something.
Because she unfollowed him andthen all of the cast members
also unfollowed him on socialmedia and so it was like, okay,
(09:47):
he did something.
Because, like, had it just beenshe that unfollowed him, and
then, like her friends, likeleah and serena, okay, they're
standing in solidarity withjanae, right, that would have
gave to me.
You know, this is my friend andyou're her boyfriend, so we're
friendly, right, like, but ifthat relationship ends, I'm
going with my girl.
(10:07):
That's basically what it feltlike.
So, like, if it was just themwho unfollowed him, not a big
deal, right, but theirboyfriends, serena and leah's
boyfriends, miguel and cordell,unfollowed kenny.
Kaylor live.
Rob connor, who janae was caughtup with at one point and then
was microaggressive towardsjanae, unfollowed kenny and
(10:30):
followed janae like basicallythe entire season six cast was
unfollowing kenny.
So it was like, what the fuckdid he do?
Come to find out he was fakingfor their entire relationship.
They were together for almost ayear, faking for their entire
relationship.
They were together for almost ayear, faking for their entire
relationship and was alsocalling her racial slurs in a
(10:51):
group chat with his friends.
Mind you, he's Dominican.
She's a dark-skinned blackwoman Faking their relationship,
telling his friends like Idon't like black women allegedly
this is what her friend, one ofJenea's hometown friends, had
posted.
Like she posted a saying.
It was like go through yourman's phone search words like I
don't like black women.
I'm in this relationship forclout.
(11:13):
Like I thought I'd get moremoney from this.
I can't wait to be done withthis so I can fuck hella bitches
like crazy shit.
And also calling her likeracial slurs in this group chat.
That's what people are sayinghappened.
And, as a black woman, dating isso fucking hard, unbelievably
(11:37):
and unnecessarily hard like thiswhole situation with kenny and
like him actually not being intojanae and like using her for
cloud and calling her racialslurs or being racist towards
her.
Like that is something thatblack women always have to worry
about when dating.
And it's like if you didn'tlike me, you could have just
(12:01):
left me alone.
You did all of this for what?
And it's like psychoticbehavior because, like he stayed
in this relationship for almosta year, pretended to like her
for almost a year, only to notbe interested in her, calling
(12:21):
her racial slurs and being inthis relationship for clout, and
it's it's so disheartening andit truly breaks my heart for
Janae because, again, blackwomen this is something that we
always have to worry about, like, are you with me because you
genuinely like me or are youwith me for some other reason?
We have to worry about beingfetishized.
We have to worry worry aboutbeing used, and I said this
(12:43):
before in a podcast episode.
It's like the entire worldthrives or like the only way
that they feel like they can getahead is if they're using black
women.
Like they build themselves fromusing black women.
We see it in relationships withfamily, romantic, in TV and the
(13:03):
media.
Like black women are alwaysbeing used and never really like
, appreciated or loved or caredfor.
Mind you, black women have beenscreaming if you don't like me
or you don't appreciate me forthe person that I am, that's
fine, but just leave me alone,right?
Don't?
Don't waste my, my time.
That is one thing that, afterkenny had come back from casa.
(13:26):
He brought a girl back fromcasa and janae asked him to his
face who do you have a strongerconnection with?
Is it me or is it her?
Do not waste my time.
Janae was so locked in, janaecared about him so much and he
wasted her fucking time, andthat's like one of my biggest
fears.
Something that I hate more thananything is for a bitch to waste
(13:48):
my fucking time.
I would I would rather youpunch me in the face than waste
my time, because time issomething that I cannot get back
.
Time is like one of the onlythings that you cannot get back.
So for someone to waste my timeyo, that shit makes me want to
catch a charge for real, becauseI hate, oh my god, like I'm
(14:10):
getting angry and hot justthinking about it.
I hate for a bitch to waste mytime, especially if I'm putting
everything into whatever this isand you're sitting here playing
in my fucking face.
Yeah, janae's better than me,because I, oh I don't for legal
reasons, I don't think I can saythat for legal reasons, this is
(14:31):
just a joke.
But like wasting my time, oh I,I hate that more than anything.
Truly, I hate for my time to bewasted.
And another thing that I keepthinking about is, like what was
his plan genuinely?
Because in the screenshot thathis um friend had or I'm sorry
(14:54):
that Janae's friend had postedone of the things that she said
keywords to search was I can'twait to be done with this so
that I can fuck hella bitcheswhen you say like you're gonna
be done with this.
Like I just keep thinking likewhat was his plan?
How did he plan to get out ofthis thing?
How did he plan to end thisrelationship?
(15:15):
Because, like, you stayed inthis shit for a fucking year.
You didn't have to do all thatif you genuinely didn't like her
and not not, this isn't anybetter, right.
Like you didn't have to do allthat if you genuinely didn't
like her and not not, this isn'tany better, right.
Like you shouldn't be withpeople for clout.
But he could have just did acute little three months and
then, at the end of the threemonths, been like you know, this
just isn't working.
(15:36):
Irreconcilable differences,whatever.
You stayed in this relationshipfor a year knowing that you did
not like this girl, and thenyou're talking about something I
can't wait to be done with this.
What was your plan to get out ofthis.
Like, I feel like people aretalking about the situation as
if it's like gossip or like thelatest tea.
This could have ended extremely, extremely bad for janae.
(16:00):
It's already bad that he wastedso much of her time, right.
But I just keep thinking about,like, what was your plan to end
this relationship?
How did you plan to get out ofthis?
Because a year in, that'salready pretty deep in a
relationship, right.
So what was your plan?
Like in my head.
(16:22):
I try not to do this because,like I don't want to like put
negative connotations on anybody, but my head goes to such a
dark place when I think about,like, what could have happened
to her in his attempt to end thesituation.
You know, like it could haveended extremely violent for her.
It could have been a very scary, dangerous situation.
And that's the thing is, likeno one really thinks about, like
(16:45):
, protecting black women.
No one thinks about making surethat they're safe or okay, like
the.
The first thought is always howcan I gain from this
relationship?
How can I gain from this blackwoman?
You know what I mean.
And it's the same thing likewith kamala harris, with
everything going on with donaldtrump and everything he's doing.
(17:06):
I see so many people being likewell, where's Kamala Harris?
Why isn't she doing anything?
Why isn't she speaking out?
Y'all didn't vote for her.
That lady is a private citizen,she's not in office.
She ran for office and y'alldidn't give her the job.
Do you normally show up to ajob that you weren't hired for?
You know what I mean.
And people are like where isshe?
(17:28):
Why isn't she doing anything?
Y'all didn't hire her.
What did y'all want her to do?
Genuinely, like, what do y'allwant her to do?
She could speak out.
Sure, she could talk aboutthings that are going on which
she has, by the way but, likeshe's a private citizen, she's
(17:52):
not in office.
So, genuinely, what do y'allwant her to do?
What did y'all expect?
Did y'all expect her to to actas president when she ran for
president and y'all didn't votefor her?
Like, be for real.
I said it in a podcast or like acouple episodes ago ask not
what a black woman can do foryou.
Ask what you could do for ablack woman bitch, because shit,
(18:15):
black women have been doingshit for for fucking ever.
When do we get a break?
When do we get some protection?
When do we get some rest?
You know what I mean.
Like fuck, leave us the fuckalone.
But instead of leaving us aloneof, instead of leaving people
like kamala, harris or kennyleaving janae alone because you
don't actually appreciate them,you use them for your own
(18:36):
fucking gain and it's like arey'all not tired?
Are y'all not fucking tired?
This is why I always say, blackwomen, we have to be selfish.
We have to put ourselves first,because nobody else will put us
first.
No one else is going to give afuck about our feelings, because
it doesn't matter how youexpress those feelings.
You could be calm and and givingand as bubbly as janae or as
(19:00):
strict and angry black woman asme like I'm never been in the
angry black woman allegations.
Honestly, at this point I'membracing them because, yeah, I
have a lot to be angry about.
Bitch, the world doesn't evensee me as a fucking human.
The world will never validatemy fucking feelings.
The world will never give merest or protection or anything
(19:21):
like.
Yeah, I am angry and you knowwhat I have a lot to be fucking
angry about and it's like,regardless of if you're calm and
bubbly or if you're mean andangry, they're gonna twist both
of them onto you and make youthe bad person for however the
fuck you feel.
So, at the end of the day, blackwomen be fucking selfish.
(19:41):
Be selfish and stop giving tothese fuck ass people because,
at the end of the day, blackwomen be fucking selfish.
Be selfish and stop giving tothese fuck-ass people because,
at the end of the day, theydon't give a fuck.
Sorry, let me hold your handwith an acronym until I tell you
this they don't give a fuck, soyou have to worry about you
because no one else is going to,and that's a sad, fucking truth
(20:02):
.
But at the end of the day, likeit's genuinely like the world
does not see us as fucking human.
They don't see us as people whoare deserving of respect and
like genuine basic decency.
They'll always look at us aslike how can I use this person
for my own gain?
Like it's it's the sickest shitin the fucking world.
(20:24):
And that's why, like it's soincredibly hard as a black woman
to do literally anything.
It's hard to date, it's hard tomake friends, it's hard to put
yourself out there to have a job.
Like yo, like leave us the fuckalone.
And like, oh, my heart trulybreaks for janae because she
(20:46):
just I know she saw everythingwith that man and not only did
she just waste a year of herlife, or he wasted a year of her
life, but, not to be dramatic,this is going to like alter her
brain chemistry, alter her brainchemistry.
(21:08):
This is going to make hersecond guess so much because she
was building her life for ayear based off a reality that
was not true.
He had her basing her life offof a reality that was not true
and it's like that is sopsychotic to do to a person, to
make them think that you feelsome way for a fucking year.
And you did not even feel thatway.
(21:30):
You were playing in her face,you never really cared about her
.
And for the people who areonline with their weird fucking
thing pieces trying to blameJanae, like, well, obviously
there were signs.
Like we saw the signs.
We called it a year ago.
We knew he didn't like her whatdo you want by saying that?
(21:56):
Like genuinely round ofapplause for you, great, you saw
signs.
Bitch, no, the fuck, you didn't.
People who are saying, oh, wesaw the signs, no, you were just
a hater from the beginning andhating worked out for you this
time cool, but give this man afucking oscar.
Okay, this man put on a fuckingshow.
(22:20):
Put on a show.
I would have never in a millionyears guessed that he genuinely
was not into her.
He, he played a role so welland that, like you have to be a
special type of fucking evil toplay in someone's face like that
(22:42):
to make them think that yougenuinely care about them.
You have to be a special typeof evil and there is a special
place in hell for you.
The vip section bitch janae istoo nice to to say anything, so
I'm gonna say it for her rightnow I wish nothing but the
fucking worst for you.
(23:02):
What like?
I can't wait for karma to doher fucking big one.
I want her to do her biggestone, not the fucking little.
I like yo, I can't wait forkarma to do her biggest one, the
biggest one she ever has,biggest one she ever has,
because the way you played inher face Ooh, I will be paying
(23:27):
an Etsy wish.
I will be paying an Etsy wishFor sure, because it's just
fucking egregious.
Wicked fucking work Like thiswill genuinely alter her brain
chemistry.
She will second guesseverything now because you had
her building her life for a year, off of something that was not
(23:48):
fucking real, off of somethingthat was not fucking true, and
so now she's gonna go intorelationships and be like
walking on eggshells for what,for what?
For?
For for you to get clout, foryou to be famous, for you to
like.
I feel so, like my heartgenuinely hurts.
(24:10):
I feel like, as a black woman,when one of us is hurting, all
of us are hurting and I I justcan't imagine.
I'm so happy that she has suchthe support system that she has,
and I hope that she's seeingall of the love online because,
like, men are scary, men arescary.
(24:32):
And I'm seeing people also belike, oh well, if black women
dated inside their race, thesethings wouldn't happen.
We're not going to sit here andact like black women aren't
disrespected in every, in everyspace, regardless of if it's
inside or outside of our race.
Like, black women truly are themost disrespected and
unprotected people in america.
(24:53):
So let's not like all of thesethings that people are saying
like, oh well, she saw, sheshould have seen the signs.
Like the signs were there, orlike the oh well, this is why
you shouldn't date inside yourrace like y'all do everything
but hold the man accountable forshitty fucking behavior.
Y'all will do anything to blamethe woman, especially if it's a
(25:13):
black woman, instead of holdingthe man accountable.
Like, y'all will be like oh,there were signs, obviously he
didn't like her.
What about the instances andthe signs where he showed that
he did like her?
What about the things that hewould say to her in the villa,
outside the villa, things thatwe haven't even seen?
His family was fooled.
Her family was fooled.
Leah and serena like everyonethought that this man cared
(25:36):
about her.
Like, truly, give this man afucking oscar because the way
that he played this role isfucking crazy.
It's absolutely fucking crazy.
It needs to be studied.
The lengths that y'all will goto to try to blame a woman for
trusting and not a man for lyingneeds to be fucking studied.
(25:58):
Y'all need psychologicalevaluations.
Y'all and Kenny need a fuckingpsychological evaluation because
there's no evaluations.
Y'all and kenny need a fuckingpsychological evaluation because
there's no way that you thinkthat this is normal behavior to
try to like, make a think pieceabout this woman's life or try
to blame her for not seeing thesigns.
Like, this is a real woman.
This is not hot gossip.
This is not tea.
This is a woman who is dealingwith this situation and this is
(26:21):
a situation that black womenconstantly have to worry about
of.
Do you genuinely like me for me, or are you trying to use me?
Do you see me as a person or isthis some sort of weird
ulterior motive for you?
And I hate that so many peopleare not taking this seriously
because, number one, this issomething that black women
(26:42):
always have to worry about and,number two, this situation could
have ended so fuckingdangerously for her.
Like that's just.
All my brain keeps going back tois like, what was your plan to
get out of it?
What was your goal?
What was your thought process?
Like, what were you going to doto get out of this relationship
?
I'm as much as it sucks that ayear of her life was now wasted.
(27:07):
I'm so happy that she found itin the way that she did because,
like I just it's this couldhave ended so so badly for her.
As much as this sucks, trustjanae will be okay and I will be
paying an etsy witch because,like, oh, kenny, if I ever catch
you, oh, if I get you, if I getyou.
(27:32):
But as we are over today'sepisode, I just want black women
to know like you are valued,you are appreciated.
You deserve the love and thepeace and everything that you
try to give everybody else.
The world is so fucked up,people are so fucked up, but the
way that people treat you, itsays so much more about them
(27:53):
than it does about you.
I promise like nothing you aredoing is causing people to treat
you badly, like people treatyou badly because they are
shitty, fucking people and theworld just needs to do better
when it comes to black women andappreciating black women and
protecting black women.
And if you feel like you justcan't do that, if you feel like
(28:14):
you just aren't attracted toblack women, don't like black
women, whatever.
Genuinely.
Just leave us the fuck alone,like we, we will be fine, we'll
be okay.
Leave us alone the fact thatpeople will use us, knowing that
they don't give a fuck about us.
Seek mental help.
(28:35):
Go talk to that lady.
Actually don't even talk to alady.
Go to.
I can't tell you to go talk toa man either, because men ain't
shit damn.
Go talk to that lady.
Actually don't even talk to alady.
Go to.
I can't tell you to go talk toa man either, because men ain't
shit damn.
Go talk to somebody, but pleaseleave black women alone as you
figure out whatever the fuck'sgoing on up here.
If you can't appreciate us,truly appreciate us and just
(28:55):
like, give us basic humandecency, because that's all.
Black women are asking for barefucking minimum.
Just treat us like fuckinghumans.
If you can't do that, thenleave us the fuck alone.
Period, the fucking end.
Thank you guys so much fortuning in to today's episode.

Hello everyone, and welcomeback to the napkin in Between
podcast.
I am your host, Daijné Jones.
I hope everyone's been having agood week, except for that
(00:21):
orange drink lady, of course.
This week has been insane, tosay the fucking least.
There's too the fuck much goingon.
Mercury clearly has her microbraids in and they're braided
way too tight.
Because, like, what the fuckwas this week, bro?
Like I feel like every day itwas something new or something
happening, somebody doingsomething.
(00:43):
Like girl, too the fuck muchgoing on.
I also feel like, is it just meor does anyone else feel like
July was the longest month ever?
Like I was like checking myphone, my calendar, and like, oh
, it's still July, okay.
Oh, it's still July, okay.
Like I just feel like it was sofucking long.
And for what?
Like damn July, you just shejust took her shoes off, sat
(01:06):
down, didn't have nowhere to be.
It's like when you know, likewhen you're trying to end a
conversation, you're just likedamn.
Like, oh, that's crazy.
Like I had to say that's crazyso many times because July was
just still here.
Like, girl, go, don't you havesomewhere to be like what the
fuck?
But I just feel like especiallylast week, longest week of my
life in the longest month of theyear like too much going on.
(01:28):
So last week, one thing thatmade me really smile and was the
peak of my week was justtalking to my mom on the phone.
My mom and I don't talk on thephone a lot because neither one
of us are phone callers.
Like this call could have beena text, you know what I mean.
That's how me and my mom, butevery so often I like to call
her because I like to hear hervoice, because she's my best
friend, like she told me all thetime I'm not one of your little
(01:49):
friends, girl, you are one ofmy little friends.
Like you're like my bestestfriend.
You know what I mean.
Like I love, like my mom isjust my best friend and I just
love talking to her.
She's so funny, she's so smart,she just.
I just feel like she's trulylike a superhero to me, like my
biggest inspiration, the onethat I look up to more than
(02:11):
anything.
And I'm so grateful for ourrelationship, because growing up
like I've talked about this alittle bit before I, my mom
wasn't around right, like I wasraised by my grandmother, who
technically isn't my biologicalgrandmother.
She's my sister's grandmotherbecause she's my sister's
grandmother on my sister's dad'sside.
My sister and I have differentdads and my mom wasn't really
(02:32):
around growing up and you knowwe didn't really reconnect until
I was 18.
Yeah, I started being raisedwith my grandma at eight and
then my mom and I didn'treconnect until I was like 18 or
19 it was my freshman year ofcollege and so, like, going from
like really not having her tolike her being my best friend,
(02:55):
I'm so grateful for it becausegrowing up, my mom made some
choices that weren't idealconversation for another day but
I honestly wouldn't change asingle thing about it.
I feel like I realized thatlike, yeah, she made some
choices that weren't the best,but she's just a girl.
She's just a girl trying herbest in the fucking world, you
(03:15):
know.
And not only that, but like, mymom and I have had so many
conversations and you know she'sgenuinely apologized for the
things that she's done, and I'veseen her make amazing changes
and it's just like.
I'm so grateful for that becauseI know that there are people
who, you know, don't have theirmoms in childhood and then also
(03:36):
adulthood, and I I genuinelydon't know what I would do
without my mom.
She's literally like I said.
She's like a superhero to me.
Anything that I have going on,I call my mom.
She's literally like I said.
She's like a superhero to me.
Anything that I have going on,I call my mom.
Anything that I need help on, Icall my mom.
Like she's truly justeverything and more to me, and
I'm so grateful that her and Iwere able to mend our
relationship because she's she'sgenuinely just like everything
(04:00):
to me.
And I can't imagine I feel Ifeel so blessed because, like
again, yeah, she, maybe shewasn't there during my childhood
, but she's there now and that'sreally all that matters.
She's there and we have thebest relationship.
And so, with everything going onthis week and like pop culture
and the world and everything,like I just called her to talk
(04:21):
about all of it and some of it.
Like obviously she understoodwhen we talked about like Trump
and stuff like that.
She keeps up with that stufftoo, so she understood that.
But, like when I startedtalking about pop culture, she
wouldn't understand or know thepeople that I'm talking about,
but she's gonna sit there, she'sgonna listen and she's gonna,
you know, just let me vent aboutlike all the crazy shit that's
happening in the world and she'sjust, she's become one of my
(04:42):
little friends, like that's mylittle friend, that is my little
friend and I'm just so grateful.
I hope to one day have her onthe pod so we can talk, and
she's been in a couple of myvideos on TikTok and stuff.
But like I just I love havingconversations with her.
She's just everything and moreto me.
So, mommy, if you're watchingthis which I know you are
because you're my biggest fanand you're one of my little
(05:03):
friends I love you and, um, I'mjust so grateful for you and I'm
so grateful for ourrelationship, and our
relationship just meanseverything to me and I would not
change a single thing for theworld and I love the person you
are, I love your heart and Ilove everything about you.
So I don't want to get sappy onthe pod but, yeah, shout out to
moms, because moms are reallysuperheroes, like they really
(05:25):
are.
And once you realize that, likeshe's just a girl, she's just a
girl trying her best, it justchanges everything and again
like that, coupled withapologies that my mom has given
me for, you know, mistakes thatshe may have made in the past,
like.
I feel so blessed about that,because people don't get those
mom's's parents, they don'tapologize, they don't own up to
(05:46):
their mistakes or things thatthey have done in the past that
you know affected our lives, andI'm so grateful that my mom is
like hey, you know, like I'msorry, and not only like and I'm
sorry, but like also changebehavior, because, as we know,
an apology without changebehavior is just words.
So, yeah, I'm just reallygrateful for my mom and I just I
(06:07):
love her so much and she'struly just everything and more
to me.
So I don't know, I just love mymom like she's my best friend
and I she's my mommy, like she'sjust a girl and she's doing her
best and you know, that's allwe can ask of anybody.
So that has been the peak of myweek.
Please tell me the peak of yourweek something, something that
helped you smile, kept yougrounded, kept you sane in the
chaos of the world.
(06:28):
Speaking of chaos, as I said inthe beginning of this episode
too the fuck much going on thisweek.
Just everybody is fuckingwiling.
And one thing that really hurtme this week what we're going to
talk about today, kenny andJanae break up.
The one we're gonna talk abouttoday.
Kenny and janae breakup.
(06:49):
Kenny.
When I catch you, kenny, when Icatch you, bitch, when I
fucking catch you.
Oh my god, I feel so manyemotions when it comes to kenny
and janae and their relationshipand their breakup and
everything, and more thananything, I just feel so
(07:11):
incredibly heartbroken for janae, because you can just tell
janae is just someone who lovesand wants to be loved like she
has the most bubbly spirit thatI think I've ever seen on
reality TV.
She truly wears her heart onher sleeve, gives and just just
just loves and wants to be lovedand to see someone play in her
(07:34):
face.
That's not, I feel, like that'snot even strong enough.
Like that man is psychotic,insane, psychopathic behavior.
So for anyone who doesn't knowwhat I'm talking about, janae,
craig and kenny rodriguez Ithink it's his last name were
two people on season six of loveisland.
Janae was a part of the maincast and kenny was a bombshell
(07:57):
in the season and from the startof her journey until kenny came
into the villa j, janae had itrough.
She, you know.
She put herself out there.
She was coupled up with acouple of people who weren't
returning the energy that shewas giving to them.
You know their heads wereturning to other people.
Like she just was, she washaving a time in the villa and
(08:18):
not like in a good way, likezero out of ten not having a
good time.
And then Kenny comes in and isfinally giving her the energy
that she, you know, has wantedand has been giving to other
people and it truly felt likeshe had kissed so many frogs in
the villa and she finally foundher prince.
Like it truly was.
Like oh my God, finally thiswoman, this black woman, is
(08:41):
finally getting the love thatshe deserves.
Right, they make it to thefinals of love island.
They place third in you knowthe whole season and they date
outside of the villa for almosta year.
Fast forward to last sunday, outof nowhere.
Like there's reports thatthey've broken up.
(09:03):
Like she took his name out ofher bio, deleted all their
pictures except for brandedcontent and like turned her
comments off.
So clearly everyone's like whatthe fuck is going on?
Because kenny and janay, theyseem like a great couple.
He seemed like he really lovedher, she really loved him.
Like they seemed good for allintents and purposes.
Come to find out they broke up.
(09:24):
She puts out a statement.
Basically it's just like hey,we're not together anymore.
I've seen all of the breakuprumors because there were rumors
that like he cheated or like hebecame physical with her, like
something, and everyone knewlike he, so he had done
something.
Because she unfollowed him andthen all of the cast members
also unfollowed him on socialmedia and so it was like, okay,
(09:47):
he did something.
Because, like, had it just beenshe that unfollowed him, and
then, like her friends, likeleah and serena, okay, they're
standing in solidarity withjanae, right, that would have
gave to me.
You know, this is my friend andyou're her boyfriend, so we're
friendly, right, like, but ifthat relationship ends, I'm
going with my girl.
(10:07):
That's basically what it feltlike.
So, like, if it was just themwho unfollowed him, not a big
deal, right, but theirboyfriends, serena and leah's
boyfriends, miguel and cordell,unfollowed kenny.
Kaylor live.
Rob connor, who janae was caughtup with at one point and then
was microaggressive towardsjanae, unfollowed kenny and
(10:30):
followed janae like basicallythe entire season six cast was
unfollowing kenny.
So it was like, what the fuckdid he do?
Come to find out he was fakingfor their entire relationship.
They were together for almost ayear, faking for their entire
relationship.
They were together for almost ayear, faking for their entire
relationship and was alsocalling her racial slurs in a
(10:51):
group chat with his friends.
Mind you, he's Dominican.
She's a dark-skinned blackwoman Faking their relationship,
telling his friends like Idon't like black women allegedly
this is what her friend, one ofJenea's hometown friends, had
posted.
Like she posted a saying.
It was like go through yourman's phone search words like I
don't like black women.
I'm in this relationship forclout.
(11:13):
Like I thought I'd get moremoney from this.
I can't wait to be done withthis so I can fuck hella bitches
like crazy shit.
And also calling her likeracial slurs in this group chat.
That's what people are sayinghappened.
And, as a black woman, dating isso fucking hard, unbelievably
(11:37):
and unnecessarily hard like thiswhole situation with kenny and
like him actually not being intojanae and like using her for
cloud and calling her racialslurs or being racist towards
her.
Like that is something thatblack women always have to worry
about when dating.
And it's like if you didn'tlike me, you could have just
(12:01):
left me alone.
You did all of this for what?
And it's like psychoticbehavior because, like he stayed
in this relationship for almosta year, pretended to like her
for almost a year, only to notbe interested in her, calling
(12:21):
her racial slurs and being inthis relationship for clout, and
it's it's so disheartening andit truly breaks my heart for
Janae because, again, blackwomen this is something that we
always have to worry about, like, are you with me because you
genuinely like me or are youwith me for some other reason?
We have to worry about beingfetishized.
We have to worry worry aboutbeing used, and I said this
(12:43):
before in a podcast episode.
It's like the entire worldthrives or like the only way
that they feel like they can getahead is if they're using black
women.
Like they build themselves fromusing black women.
We see it in relationships withfamily, romantic, in TV and the
(13:03):
media.
Like black women are alwaysbeing used and never really like
, appreciated or loved or caredfor.
Mind you, black women have beenscreaming if you don't like me
or you don't appreciate me forthe person that I am, that's
fine, but just leave me alone,right?
Don't?
Don't waste my, my time.
That is one thing that, afterkenny had come back from casa.
(13:26):
He brought a girl back fromcasa and janae asked him to his
face who do you have a strongerconnection with?
Is it me or is it her?
Do not waste my time.
Janae was so locked in, janaecared about him so much and he
wasted her fucking time, andthat's like one of my biggest
fears.
Something that I hate more thananything is for a bitch to waste
(13:48):
my fucking time.
I would I would rather youpunch me in the face than waste
my time, because time issomething that I cannot get back
.
Time is like one of the onlythings that you cannot get back.
So for someone to waste my timeyo, that shit makes me want to
catch a charge for real, becauseI hate, oh my god, like I'm
(14:10):
getting angry and hot justthinking about it.
I hate for a bitch to waste mytime, especially if I'm putting
everything into whatever this isand you're sitting here playing
in my fucking face.
Yeah, janae's better than me,because I, oh I don't for legal
reasons, I don't think I can saythat for legal reasons, this is
(14:31):
just a joke.
But like wasting my time, oh I,I hate that more than anything.
Truly, I hate for my time to bewasted.
And another thing that I keepthinking about is, like what was
his plan genuinely?
Because in the screenshot thathis um friend had or I'm sorry
(14:54):
that Janae's friend had postedone of the things that she said
keywords to search was I can'twait to be done with this so
that I can fuck hella bitcheswhen you say like you're gonna
be done with this.
Like I just keep thinking likewhat was his plan?
How did he plan to get out ofthis thing?
How did he plan to end thisrelationship?
(15:15):
Because, like, you stayed inthis shit for a fucking year.
You didn't have to do all thatif you genuinely didn't like her
and not not, this isn't anybetter, right.
Like you didn't have to do allthat if you genuinely didn't
like her and not not, this isn'tany better, right.
Like you shouldn't be withpeople for clout.
But he could have just did acute little three months and
then, at the end of the threemonths, been like you know, this
just isn't working.
(15:36):
Irreconcilable differences,whatever.
You stayed in this relationshipfor a year knowing that you did
not like this girl, and thenyou're talking about something I
can't wait to be done with this.
What was your plan to get out ofthis.
Like, I feel like people aretalking about the situation as
if it's like gossip or like thelatest tea.
This could have ended extremely, extremely bad for janae.
(16:00):
It's already bad that he wastedso much of her time, right.
But I just keep thinking about,like, what was your plan to end
this relationship?
How did you plan to get out ofthis?
Because a year in, that'salready pretty deep in a
relationship, right.
So what was your plan?
Like in my head.
(16:22):
I try not to do this because,like I don't want to like put
negative connotations on anybody, but my head goes to such a
dark place when I think about,like, what could have happened
to her in his attempt to end thesituation.
You know, like it could haveended extremely violent for her.
It could have been a very scary, dangerous situation.
And that's the thing is, likeno one really thinks about, like
(16:45):
, protecting black women.
No one thinks about making surethat they're safe or okay, like
the.
The first thought is always howcan I gain from this
relationship?
How can I gain from this blackwoman?
You know what I mean.
And it's the same thing likewith kamala harris, with
everything going on with donaldtrump and everything he's doing.
(17:06):
I see so many people being likewell, where's Kamala Harris?
Why isn't she doing anything?
Why isn't she speaking out?
Y'all didn't vote for her.
That lady is a private citizen,she's not in office.
She ran for office and y'alldidn't give her the job.
Do you normally show up to ajob that you weren't hired for?
You know what I mean.
And people are like where isshe?
(17:28):
Why isn't she doing anything?
Y'all didn't hire her.
What did y'all want her to do?
Genuinely, like, what do y'allwant her to do?
She could speak out.
Sure, she could talk aboutthings that are going on which
she has, by the way but, likeshe's a private citizen, she's
(17:52):
not in office.
So, genuinely, what do y'allwant her to do?
What did y'all expect?
Did y'all expect her to to actas president when she ran for
president and y'all didn't votefor her?
Like, be for real.
I said it in a podcast or like acouple episodes ago ask not
what a black woman can do foryou.
Ask what you could do for ablack woman bitch, because shit,
(18:15):
black women have been doingshit for for fucking ever.
When do we get a break?
When do we get some protection?
When do we get some rest?
You know what I mean.
Like fuck, leave us the fuckalone.
But instead of leaving us aloneof, instead of leaving people
like kamala, harris or kennyleaving janae alone because you
don't actually appreciate them,you use them for your own
(18:36):
fucking gain and it's like arey'all not tired?
Are y'all not fucking tired?
This is why I always say, blackwomen, we have to be selfish.
We have to put ourselves first,because nobody else will put us
first.
No one else is going to give afuck about our feelings, because
it doesn't matter how youexpress those feelings.
You could be calm and and givingand as bubbly as janae or as
(19:00):
strict and angry black woman asme like I'm never been in the
angry black woman allegations.
Honestly, at this point I'membracing them because, yeah, I
have a lot to be angry about.
Bitch, the world doesn't evensee me as a fucking human.
The world will never validatemy fucking feelings.
The world will never give merest or protection or anything
(19:21):
like.
Yeah, I am angry and you knowwhat I have a lot to be fucking
angry about and it's like,regardless of if you're calm and
bubbly or if you're mean andangry, they're gonna twist both
of them onto you and make youthe bad person for however the
fuck you feel.
So, at the end of the day, blackwomen be fucking selfish.
(19:41):
Be selfish and stop giving tothese fuck ass people because,
at the end of the day, blackwomen be fucking selfish.
Be selfish and stop giving tothese fuck-ass people because,
at the end of the day, theydon't give a fuck.
Sorry, let me hold your handwith an acronym until I tell you
this they don't give a fuck, soyou have to worry about you
because no one else is going to,and that's a sad, fucking truth
(20:02):
.
But at the end of the day, likeit's genuinely like the world
does not see us as fucking human.
They don't see us as people whoare deserving of respect and
like genuine basic decency.
They'll always look at us aslike how can I use this person
for my own gain?
Like it's it's the sickest shitin the fucking world.
(20:24):
And that's why, like it's soincredibly hard as a black woman
to do literally anything.
It's hard to date, it's hard tomake friends, it's hard to put
yourself out there to have a job.
Like yo, like leave us the fuckalone.
And like, oh, my heart trulybreaks for janae because she
(20:46):
just I know she saw everythingwith that man and not only did
she just waste a year of herlife, or he wasted a year of her
life, but, not to be dramatic,this is going to like alter her
brain chemistry, alter her brainchemistry.
(21:08):
This is going to make hersecond guess so much because she
was building her life for ayear based off a reality that
was not true.
He had her basing her life offof a reality that was not true
and it's like that is sopsychotic to do to a person, to
make them think that you feelsome way for a fucking year.
And you did not even feel thatway.
(21:30):
You were playing in her face,you never really cared about her
.
And for the people who areonline with their weird fucking
thing pieces trying to blameJanae, like, well, obviously
there were signs.
Like we saw the signs.
We called it a year ago.
We knew he didn't like her whatdo you want by saying that?
(21:56):
Like genuinely round ofapplause for you, great, you saw
signs.
Bitch, no, the fuck, you didn't.
People who are saying, oh, wesaw the signs, no, you were just
a hater from the beginning andhating worked out for you this
time cool, but give this man afucking oscar.
Okay, this man put on a fuckingshow.
(22:20):
Put on a show.
I would have never in a millionyears guessed that he genuinely
was not into her.
He, he played a role so welland that, like you have to be a
special type of fucking evil toplay in someone's face like that
(22:42):
to make them think that yougenuinely care about them.
You have to be a special typeof evil and there is a special
place in hell for you.
The vip section bitch janae istoo nice to to say anything, so
I'm gonna say it for her rightnow I wish nothing but the
fucking worst for you.
(23:02):
What like?
I can't wait for karma to doher fucking big one.
I want her to do her biggestone, not the fucking little.
I like yo, I can't wait forkarma to do her biggest one, the
biggest one she ever has,biggest one she ever has,
because the way you played inher face Ooh, I will be paying
(23:27):
an Etsy wish.
I will be paying an Etsy wishFor sure, because it's just
fucking egregious.
Wicked fucking work Like thiswill genuinely alter her brain
chemistry.
She will second guesseverything now because you had
her building her life for a year, off of something that was not
(23:48):
fucking real, off of somethingthat was not fucking true, and
so now she's gonna go intorelationships and be like
walking on eggshells for what,for what?
For?
For for you to get clout, foryou to be famous, for you to
like.
I feel so, like my heartgenuinely hurts.
(24:10):
I feel like, as a black woman,when one of us is hurting, all
of us are hurting and I I justcan't imagine.
I'm so happy that she has suchthe support system that she has,
and I hope that she's seeingall of the love online because,
like, men are scary, men arescary.
(24:32):
And I'm seeing people also belike, oh well, if black women
dated inside their race, thesethings wouldn't happen.
We're not going to sit here andact like black women aren't
disrespected in every, in everyspace, regardless of if it's
inside or outside of our race.
Like, black women truly are themost disrespected and
unprotected people in america.
(24:53):
So let's not like all of thesethings that people are saying
like, oh well, she saw, sheshould have seen the signs.
Like the signs were there, orlike the oh well, this is why
you shouldn't date inside yourrace like y'all do everything
but hold the man accountable forshitty fucking behavior.
Y'all will do anything to blamethe woman, especially if it's a
(25:13):
black woman, instead of holdingthe man accountable.
Like, y'all will be like oh,there were signs, obviously he
didn't like her.
What about the instances andthe signs where he showed that
he did like her?
What about the things that hewould say to her in the villa,
outside the villa, things thatwe haven't even seen?
His family was fooled.
Her family was fooled.
Leah and serena like everyonethought that this man cared
(25:36):
about her.
Like, truly, give this man afucking oscar because the way
that he played this role isfucking crazy.
It's absolutely fucking crazy.
It needs to be studied.
The lengths that y'all will goto to try to blame a woman for
trusting and not a man for lyingneeds to be fucking studied.
(25:58):
Y'all need psychologicalevaluations.
Y'all and Kenny need a fuckingpsychological evaluation because
there's no evaluations.
Y'all and kenny need a fuckingpsychological evaluation because
there's no way that you thinkthat this is normal behavior to
try to like, make a think pieceabout this woman's life or try
to blame her for not seeing thesigns.
Like, this is a real woman.
This is not hot gossip.
This is not tea.
This is a woman who is dealingwith this situation and this is
(26:21):
a situation that black womenconstantly have to worry about
of.
Do you genuinely like me for me, or are you trying to use me?
Do you see me as a person or isthis some sort of weird
ulterior motive for you?
And I hate that so many peopleare not taking this seriously
because, number one, this issomething that black women
(26:42):
always have to worry about and,number two, this situation could
have ended so fuckingdangerously for her.
Like that's just.
All my brain keeps going back tois like, what was your plan to
get out of it?
What was your goal?
What was your thought process?
Like, what were you going to doto get out of this relationship
?
I'm as much as it sucks that ayear of her life was now wasted.
(27:07):
I'm so happy that she found itin the way that she did because,
like I just it's this couldhave ended so so badly for her.
As much as this sucks, trustjanae will be okay and I will be
paying an etsy witch because,like, oh, kenny, if I ever catch
you, oh, if I get you, if I getyou.
(27:32):
But as we are over today'sepisode, I just want black women
to know like you are valued,you are appreciated.
You deserve the love and thepeace and everything that you
try to give everybody else.
The world is so fucked up,people are so fucked up, but the
way that people treat you, itsays so much more about them
(27:53):
than it does about you.
I promise like nothing you aredoing is causing people to treat
you badly, like people treatyou badly because they are
shitty, fucking people and theworld just needs to do better
when it comes to black women andappreciating black women and
protecting black women.
And if you feel like you justcan't do that, if you feel like
(28:14):
you just aren't attracted toblack women, don't like black
women, whatever.
Genuinely.
Just leave us the fuck alone,like we, we will be fine, we'll
be okay.
Leave us alone the fact thatpeople will use us, knowing that
they don't give a fuck about us.
Seek mental help.
(28:35):
Go talk to that lady.
Actually don't even talk to alady.
Go to.
I can't tell you to go talk toa man either, because men ain't
shit damn.
Go talk to that lady.
Actually don't even talk to alady.
Go to.
I can't tell you to go talk toa man either, because men ain't
shit damn.
Go talk to somebody, but pleaseleave black women alone as you
figure out whatever the fuck'sgoing on up here.
If you can't appreciate us,truly appreciate us and just
(28:55):
like, give us basic humandecency, because that's all.
Black women are asking for barefucking minimum.
Just treat us like fuckinghumans.
If you can't do that, thenleave us the fuck alone.
Period, the fucking end.
Thank you guys so much fortuning in to today's episode.

(29:16):

there is so much more and bettercoming for you, and just know
that you will be okay.
You will be okay.
Trust, you have ppg, you haveyour family and you have this
etsy witch that I'm about tocall up and pay.
Trust that man will be dealtwith.
