So getting to talk about that and 45 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: then talking to Black thought about just the Roots Picnic 46 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: and you know, the history and the culture of the 47 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: Roots and all those things were amazing. But as I'm 48 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: in those moments and I'm like, man, like, this is fire. 49 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: Like I've you know, grown up in Delaware. You hear, 50 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: I've never gone to the Roots Picnic, but all my 51 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: friends have gone. You know.

But also I'm like, yo, I'm so 54 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 1: blessed because I'm actually you know, I have a lot 55 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: going on, and I get to soar through that, but 56 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: I'm actually able to make the decision of you know what, 57 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: I'm going to prioritize me this weekend, and I feel 58 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: guilty about it. And that's a blessing for me because 59 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: we're the oldest girl in the family, oldest sibling, but 60 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: especially the oldest girl and the family. You are like 61 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: the unofficial family manager, and a lot of times you 62 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: don't get to make decisions just for yourself, and when 63 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: you do, you feel so guilty. And I had a 64 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: guilty feeling for a little bit, and then I told myself, like, 65 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: you know what, it's okay, Like you have a really 66 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: busy you know, next couple weeks coming up and getting 67 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: back into court, the BT Awards are coming up, with 68 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: y'all be in La attending, and then you have time 69 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: off to come home and be with the family. Take 70 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: this time for you, take this weekend for you. It 71 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: is a blessing to be able to do so, to 72 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: afford to do so, but it's also a blessing to 73 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: have the ability to even know, hey, this is what 74 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: I need. So I did that and that was great, 75 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: and I got some time to like really just do nothing, 76 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: and like you know what I mean, Like that always 77 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: feels good to do nothing. I could have used a 78 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: bit more sleep, but I did get some time do nothing. 79 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: So I'm here, I'm feeling blessed and going into the 80 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: latest because y'all, the Breakfast Club has started some trouble, okay, 81 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: And I try to keep the Breakfast Club things and 82 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: the stories separate than the podcast, but I felt like 83 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: here on the podcast, I could give you guys a 84 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: better breakdown of you know what happened? So Cardi b 85 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: Offset Stefan Diggs this weekend. There was like a whole 86 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: thing last week on The Breakfast Club. I did a 87 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: segment during the Latest with Lonena Rose on The Breakfast 88 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: Club where we talked about the fact that Offset recently 89 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: filed for sponsive support. Now here's how I like to 90 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: break it down. This is why I'm so great that 91 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: I have the podcast. I'm so blessed again that word 92 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: to have the podcast because I can take time to 93 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: talk y'all through things that I wouldn't have the time 94 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: to take y'all through if I'm on air the Breakfast Club, 95 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: even if it comes up, the time is just not 96 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: the same because it's me and three other people in 97 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: the room. So when I do stories, even if I'm 98 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: not breaking the stories exclusively, if I'm just speaking on them, 99 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: it is important to me that, especially for certain subject matters, 100 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: that I reach out to all parties involved. I mean, 101 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about it regardless if I'm not 102 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: telling the world new information. I don't always feel the 103 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: need to just say, hey, we're going to talk about this. 104 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: But if there are certain things being claimed then, you know, 105 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: things of that nature. I do do that because I 106 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: would want somebody to do it for me. So I 107 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: got in. I saw the story. Honestly, I saw the 108 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: story of the night prior. Right through it. I'm like, okay, well, 109 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: it's kind of weird to me that Offset is accent 110 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,239 Speaker 1: for the Sparstal support because Offset is very successful, Offset 111 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: makes money. Offset is an entity on his own, you 112 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 1: know what I mean, coming from migos, but now you know, 113 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: he's his own artist, and he has songs and he's 114 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: doing the fashion stuff, and he like, he doesn't need 115 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: money from Cardi B to live. So I'm like, okay, 116 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: this is odd. So I instantly reached out to one 117 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: of my team members who normally reaches out on that 118 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: side for me, and I'm like, hey, going to do 119 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: this story. You know, there're other outlets that are angling 120 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: this as if all Set needs this money because he 121 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,799 Speaker 1: has these tax lianes. But I went back in, I researched, 122 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: and I'm like, but the tax lianes were there, Like, 123 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: we found out about the tax liens the same time 124 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: that we found out about the divorce, and it's been 125 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: months since then. So if that were the case, he 126 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: would have asked for sposal support a long time ago 127 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: when Cardi B first said that she wanted to get 128 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: a divorce, and that that's not the case. So this 129 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: can't be the reason. Why can we try and figure 130 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: out why? What is going on? Why is he asking 131 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: for sposal support? So I had that person reaching out, 132 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: and then on my end, I picked up the phone, 133 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: I you know, called Carti's team and said, hey, look, 134 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: you know here this story is out. I'm going to 135 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: report it. I've reached out on both sides, you know. 136 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: I I'm just doing the courtesy because I'm trying to 137 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: figure out what is happening here. In the midst of 138 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,359 Speaker 1: me doing that, we had received a statement from someone 139 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: off set team, and the statement read this, here's exactly 140 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: what I said on the breakfast club. Off set team 141 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: says that he does not need the money. That this 142 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: was filed because he alleges that Cardi B was trying 143 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: to come at him on things that were not fair. 144 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: He alleges that she wants to decide when he can 145 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: see the kids. He also alleges that Cardi B is 146 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: asking for everything like the properties in the cars, so 147 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: his attorneys did this, and he also alleges, and this 148 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: is a big allegation, he also alleges that he did 149 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: this because Cardi B is barely ever with their kids. 150 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: So now I go back to Quarti's side out I'm like, hey, 151 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: here's what I've been told from the other side. I 152 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: am going to give this statement on air. Let me 153 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: know if you guys want to respond in any way. 154 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: If not, it's totally fine. But again, just give you 155 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: the heads up because I'm like, y'all, this is their marriage. 156 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: Even though a lot of their stuff has played out publicly, 157 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: you know, this is their marriage, and like their kids 158 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: are involved. Like, the least I could do is give 159 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: both sides a heads up and a chance to speak 160 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: for themselves. I was told that there was no comment 161 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: from Cardi's side at the sign, and then we went 162 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: on air and we did it.

I 173 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 2: want you to die, but I want. 174 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: You to die slow where your die. I want your die. 175 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 2: Slow in a bed, and while you die, I think 176 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 2: of me. When I first filed for divorce, my lawyer 177 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 2: fought for and just started spasting right. So I told 178 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 2: my lawyer I asked for no child support because I 179 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 2: want to be done with this marriage, like I feel 180 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 2: like I'm tied up. 181 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: WHOA Okay. So of course this caused like such a 182 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: tumble down of things because now you have like, oh god, 183 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: Stephan Diggs gets on Instagram and he does a swipe through, 184 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: and Cardi b is in the swipe through. The last 185 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: swipe through is Quebro from the Migos, who we've known 186 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: that also has had some like you know what I mean. 187 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: They they family, but like they've had bad blood and 188 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: you know, things of that nature saying this, and I'm like, 189 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: oh God. As soon as I saw Stephan Diggs wipe through, 190 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, glad you like you know, y'all in 191 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: love and y'all doing y'all thing. But when I said 192 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: it was so patty, I was like, oh my god. 193 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: All said is gonna get online and he is gonna 194 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: respond to the things, and Lord have mercy. So then 195 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: after that, Cardi B posted her own little swipe through 196 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 1: a thread on Instagram. Stephan Diggs is in the thread. 197 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: Cardi B is also wrapped up in Stephan Diggs like 198 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: he would this like fur throw shaw thing to the 199 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: met Gala. Cardi B is wrapped up in that. In 200 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: one of the photos, she's like naked but the shawl 201 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: and one of that shit looks gorgeous by the way, 202 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: but I'm like, okay, yeah, all right. So that causes 203 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: that back and forth. And then there are tweets that 204 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: I haven't been able to respond, I mean respond, haven't 205 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: been able to confirm because I went to offset Twitter 206 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: and didn't see these tweets, so I don't know. But 207 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: there are some reported tweets of him of Offset responding 208 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: calling it like seemingly responding, allegedly responding. He tweeted like 209 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: good pr rollout and he was like spiking a ball. 210 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 1: And one of the gifts they posted a gift is 211 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: just like a it's like a photo but like it's 212 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: like a funny photo. So then you got Stefan Diggs 213 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: who posted who went on his answer story and posted 214 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: a photo of him catching the ball. He like, okay, 215 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: called it like if you that's what you're doing. Yeah, 216 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: I'm here, I'm with it, and I'm just like, Lord, 217 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: have mercy, Lord have mercy when things like this happen. 218 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: It's not our intent to make all of this happen 219 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: at all. Honestly, I was just reporting what was already reported. 220 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: I just wanted to be a little bit more cautionable 221 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: with it, or have a little bit more caution with 222 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: it if I could, because I'm like, it makes no sense. 223 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: Demand makes his own money. Why is the accent for 224 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: spousal support? But what I've learned is sometimes these things 225 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: you can't avoid these things, Like a lot of times 226 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: you can't avoid these things, whether you know you're trying 227 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: to do the best, trying to keep people and you 228 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: know what I mean, locks at what was happening. Yeah, 229 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: And it's a tough position to be in because a 230 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: lot of time, the talent, the celebrities involved will blame 231 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: you because you brought it to your platform and you 232 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: made it a conversation to you whatever. But even with that, 233 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: I've learned that, like there's nothing I can do about that, 234 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: Like that you filed for the spousal support. It was 235 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: a public filing. Actual TMZ broke that story. So they 236 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: told the world about it first. We're just here talking 237 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: about it and having a conversation about it. But I 238 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: always try and do things with good intention. I do. 239 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: I'll tell y'all that. But I was like, let me 240 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: get off social media this weekend because her name and 241 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: her saying in her audio like breakfast, I'm like, oh 242 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: lower at mercy. Yeah. So what I did this weekend 243 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: was I was only posting uh here and there. I 244 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: told y'all, I took some time for myself this weekend. 245 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: But I also went down to Philly for the Roots Picnic. 246 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: Root's Picnic line up crazy this year. That got meat, 247 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: had meat meals, push your tea, DiAngelo Maxwell, all of 248 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: these people, right, all of these people. Two days, Saturday 249 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: and Sunday were the actual festival days. Glorilla, who else? 250 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: Uh Lotto. But here's the issue. The first day of 251 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: the Roots Picnic, it was it was predicted the rain. 252 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: I was actually supposed to I was actually supposed to 253 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: go to the roots picnic and like do content for them, 254 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: like officially with the actual picnic. And I decided to 255 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: not do that anymore because when I saw that the 256 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: rain was like in forecast and it was going to 257 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: rain so heavily, like at one point in time, Philly 258 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: was on a tornado watch, and I was so happy 259 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: that I decided not to do it. So Saturday, basically 260 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: you get there and the festival doors were supposed to open. 261 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: I believe it a little bit after two o'clock PM 262 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: in the afternoon, when I tell y'all, it's cold outside 263 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: this day, it's a bit windy, it's raining. It does 264 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: not feel like the end of May beginning of June whatsoever. 265 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: It's raining, and I mean like raining, raining when blowing, 266 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 1: when blowing the rain, And this is in the middle 267 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 1: of a real park, so now it's muddy, the grass 268 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: is wet. When I arrived and I wasn't even gonna 269 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: go to the picnic, but after doing the conversation with 270 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: the BMF stars, I was like, you know what, I'm 271 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: already here. The start seeing has been so good to me. 272 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: Some of my friends are doing activations within the picnic. 273 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: Let me just go and support y'all. We got there 274 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: when I tell you, the lines were insane. The lines 275 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: were insane, the VIP line, the general mission line. And 276 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: as soon as I walked up and I saw people 277 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: standing there in these lines in the rain, complaining that 278 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: the lines weren't moving, I was like, Man, it's going 279 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: to be a social media nightmare, and that is exactly 280 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: what it was. Of course, it went super viral, with 281 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: many outlets covering the fact that people were waiting in 282 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: line for hours and requesting refunds, and I and the 283 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: Roots Picnic officially actually had to come out and apologize, 284 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: so they posted on their Instagram we would like to 285 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: say sorry. As we shared yesterday, the rain over the 286 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: last forty hours made the grounds unsafe and in abundance 287 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: and caution. We had to delay doors opening, resulting in 288 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: the lines to get into the festival. Please understand safety 289 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: will be our number one priority. We worked hard to 290 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: make sure every artist still got on stage and extended 291 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: the festival hours, also that they could perform without violating 292 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: the city noise curfews. Today is a new day because 293 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: they posted this on Sunday, which would have been the 294 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: second day at the festival. This was the day. The 295 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: second day you had push a Tea and meg meal, 296 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: a lot of the acts of people. I mean, people 297 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: were excited about both days. But second day there was 298 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: a lot of hype around it, and it actually didn't 299 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: rain that day. They say, today is a new day, 300 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: talking about Sunday, and we would do better. There's no 301 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: rain in the forecast, and we are making changes to 302 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: improve the entry process and communication overall. Because that was 303 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: another thing too, Like even me as talent, when I 304 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: got there, I'm like, oh, we got these lines. I 305 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: don't mind waiting in the line, but I'm like, y'all, 306 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,359 Speaker 1: like this is like insane, Like if I didn't have umbrellas, 307 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: I would have been drenched. And I'm coming in here 308 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: as talent that is working with you guys, So I 309 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: can't imagine how it is for people that just bought 310 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: tickets randomly. Like I felt so bad for people. I 311 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: got my ober and left, Like I think I was 312 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: in that. I was there in that mess for about 313 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: twenty minutes and then I got in there and left. 314 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: They said that that next day they made the entry 315 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: process and communication, as I mentioned, good better overall. They 316 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: also increased the number of roots picnic ambassadors that will 317 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: be at the front gates, because that was another thing too, 318 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: like it just wasn't enough people working it, which is 319 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: insane because the picnic has been around for so long 320 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: and I think that was a lot of people's issue. 321 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: People were recrossing refunds and even when I posted my 322 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: BMF like photo and stuff that I did for roots picnic, 323 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: I'm taking it in the streets to the tweet youth 324 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: to be outside, we outside, we outside okade.
