Speaker 2: is coming out on Christmas Day, and I actually hosted
Speaker 2: the screening of it and moderated the Q and a
Speaker 2: after with Ryan Destiny and Clarissa Shields for Culture on Friday.
Speaker 2: But when I tell you, she did a phenomenal job
Speaker 2: in this role. And one thing from sitting up on
Speaker 2: that panel, Clarissa was like, she was not Ryan wasn't
Speaker 2: her choice to play that role because she's very small,
Speaker 2: she's cute. She didn't think that she could pull it up.
Speaker 2: But when I tell you, she did an amazing job
Speaker 2: playing Clarissa Shields like she's an actress. She's an actress,
Speaker 2: but that's not an easy thing to do. You got
Speaker 2: to train in boxing, you got to get in the rings.
Speaker 3: It's like a hard one.
Speaker 2: She had to boke up. You know. It was a
Speaker 2: lot going on with that. But when I tell you
Speaker 2: she killed it in that role, because you know, a
Speaker 2: lot of times you're like, how can you see this
Speaker 2: person as that person? Yeah, and she really did bring
Speaker 2: that role to life. So I know you guys are

Speaker 2: eight hundred and two niney two fifty one fifty if
Speaker 2: you couldn't get through, and when we come back, we
Speaker 2: have your yee t and we'll tell you about a
Speaker 2: former NBA star who Jasmine and I interviewed previously, who
Speaker 2: is gonna get his just due. He talked about getting
Speaker 2: defrauded out of seven million dollars. Will give you the details.
Speaker 2: It's way up.
Speaker 5: She's like a chout like they Angela Jean, like they
Speaker 5: Angela Jean Man.
Speaker 1: She's spilling it all.
Speaker 2: This is yet, well, it's way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 2: I'm here, Jasmine brand is here.
Speaker 3: That's not just ny brand. I'm my own brand yet.
Speaker 2: Right now, let's talk about Calvin Darden Junior. If you
Speaker 2: don't know who he is, he is a man who
Speaker 2: was convicted of defrauding former NBA star Dwight Howard of
Speaker 2: seven million dollars. He is now facing a prison sentence
Speaker 2: of a eleven to fourteen years, and this is not
Speaker 2: his first time in legal trouble. He was sentenced to
Speaker 2: one year in prison back in twenty sixteen for impersonating
Speaker 2: his father, who was a successful businessman, in an attempt
Speaker 2: to purchase maxim magazine, and he also was found guilty
Speaker 2: of scamming former NBA player Tandler Parsons out of one
Speaker 2: million dollars. Well, here is what Dwight Howard had to
Speaker 2: say when he was on way Up with Angela Yee
Speaker 2: about this situation. I lost seven million dollars.
Speaker 6: I was going to try to purchase a WNBA team,
Speaker 6: got with some people.
Speaker 1: We put together this group.
Speaker 2: After I invested my money and disappeared, took the money.
Speaker 1: It's been in the news.
Speaker 2: They made a rests all right. So this was supposed
Speaker 2: to be him purchasing the WNBA Atlanta Dream Team, and
Speaker 2: the purchase of the team was made by a three
Speaker 2: member investment group and that seven million dollar contribution had
Speaker 2: no part in the transaction.
Speaker 7: Can you imagine investing seven million for and then getting
Speaker 7: scammed out of it.
Speaker 3: I'll be mad if he was seven thousand dollars skiing.
Speaker 2: I'll be mad if it was seven dollars. I don't
Speaker 2: have money like that. But you just defront it. And
Speaker 2: then what did you think you would get away with
Speaker 2: taking a fake seven million dollar investment? But you know,
Speaker 2: it's crazy that it took this long, because this was
Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 7: Right, and this guy has a history of, you know,
Speaker 7: doing sketchy things like this apparently, so yeah.
Speaker 2: All right, now. Al Pacino recently did an interview with
Speaker 2: the New York Times and People magazine that was published
Speaker 2: over the weekend, and he talked about COVID and how
Speaker 2: he basically died for a moment. He had no pulse
Speaker 2: and he said he didn't see the white light or anything,
Speaker 2: and there's nothing there after death. He said, as Hamlet says,
Speaker 2: to be or not to be, and he says two words,
Speaker 2: no more. It was no more, You're gone. I'd never
Speaker 2: thought about it in my life, but you know, actors,
Speaker 2: it sounds good to say I died once. What it
Speaker 2: is when there's no more? And so they asked him
Speaker 2: whether his brush with death had changed how he lives,
Speaker 2: and he said not at all.
Speaker 3: I cannot just say this.
Speaker 7: Maybe that was his experience, maybe maybe other people have
Speaker 7: a different experience.
Speaker 2: With they he was like, there was no light, there
Speaker 2: was nothing.
Speaker 3: That was nothing for him.
Speaker 2: Man, that's scary. Well, he does have his memoir coming out,
Speaker 2: Sunny Boy, and so they said, he really details the
Speaker 2: experience in that memoir too.
Speaker 3: I didn't know he got that sick. I mean, that
Speaker 3: is very sick. He got sigdriing COVID.
Speaker 2: And you know he's eighty four years old right now,
Speaker 2: so he was eighty all right. Rihanna and Kenjack Lamar
Speaker 2: have reportedly declined headlining Coachella of twenty twenty five. They
Speaker 2: shared this report at Bloomberg and they published an article
Speaker 2: about the current state of the Indio music festival and
Speaker 2: its plans for next year. They've spent some odd times
Speaker 2: in the last few years, closed down during the pandemic,
Speaker 2: and then it didn't sell out over the past two years,
Speaker 2: and they said Coachella actually had its slowest ticket sales
Speaker 2: in ten years in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3: I remember I lived in La for a while. I
Speaker 3: remember Coachelle used to be a huge deal.
Speaker 2: People used to come park really far away, red houses,
Speaker 2: whole things. All right. So, but apparently Kendrick Lamar is
Speaker 2: allegedly planning his own tour after the Super Bowl halftime show,
Speaker 2: doing stadiums. That makes sense, Yeah, it definitely does. And
Speaker 2: that also means new album, right yep, all right, well
Speaker 2: that is your yet when we come back, we have
Speaker 2: about last night. That's where we discussed what we did
Speaker 2: last night. In the meantime, let's hear from pop Smoke
Speaker 2: what you know about love is way up?
Speaker 1: So about last night went down?
Speaker 2: It's way up at Angela Yee, I'm here, Jasmine brand is.
Speaker 3: Here, I'm my home brand.
Speaker 2: Yes, and last night we actually, you would like, let's
Speaker 2: watch a horror movie but during the day, because you
Speaker 2: don't like to watch them at night.
Speaker 3: No, I do not.
Speaker 2: So the movie we ended up watching was House of
Speaker 2: Spoils on Prime Video.
Speaker 3: It was really good, right, it was a good pick, right.
Speaker 2: Yes. During Academy Award winn Ariana de Bo's I didn't
Speaker 2: feel like it was a horror movie so much.
Speaker 3: What do you kind of movie you think?
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess kind of. But she's a chef,
Speaker 2: an amazing chef, and has an opportunity to go and
Speaker 2: open her own restaurant. And it's like in the middle
Speaker 2: of nowhere, but it shows that people will come out
Speaker 2: to a restaurant. It's it's a destination. Yeah that doesn't
Speaker 2: have anything around it. If it's something that is a
Speaker 2: cool concept, yeah, cool concept. And also with a really
Speaker 2: famous chef. So she was working for another famous chef
Speaker 2: and she left him to go start her own thing.
Speaker 2: We were horrified at the way she tried to get
Speaker 2: her to stay too.
Speaker 3: Because he tried to give her double a salary.
Speaker 2: First, he tried to double her salary. Then he told
Speaker 2: her that she was going to fail. Yeah, and he
Speaker 2: told her that she's not a boss.
Speaker 3: You're not a businessman, you're not a boss. You'll be back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was wild. Yeah, that industry is
Speaker 2: a very disrespectful one. It feels like competitive, I feel like.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so that's what we did yesterday, Ariana Dubo.
Speaker 2: She did a great job.
Speaker 3: That was good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it makes me realize that I'm not into
Speaker 2: like fancy what restaurants and restaurants. I like regular stuff regularly.
Speaker 3: It was very very This.
Speaker 7: Is a leaf with uh turn up cucumber and on
Speaker 7: a broth of sunny egg.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like, okay, it was too much amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't have the palette for that to be
Speaker 2: a food critic, and food critics really have to be
Speaker 2: tough and harsh. Yeah, and a food critic can really
Speaker 2: destroy a restaurant. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Also, you don't eat a lot of stuff, so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of things I don't eat and
Speaker 2: I over the weekend also had to do a panel
Speaker 2: for on the Revel the revel Re event that's a
Speaker 2: cannabis event, Legal Cannabis. It was huge and I got
Speaker 2: so many things to try.
Speaker 3: Did you get high?
Speaker 2: We did yesterday. And in addition to that, I also
Speaker 2: hosted a screening for Culture Con of Clarissa Shields's movie
Speaker 2: with Ryan Destiny starring as her love Clarissa. Yes, so
Speaker 2: The Fire Inside is the name of that's coming out
Speaker 2: Christmas Day. So I had a really active weekend, but
Speaker 2: just know that it was very productive. Yeah. All right,
Speaker 2: Well in the meantime, when we come back, it's a Monday,
Speaker 2: so let's get these secrets out of there. Tell us
Speaker 2: a secret. Eight hundred to nine two fifty one fifty.

Speaker 2: maybe you don't. Maybe it's just something that you've never

Speaker 6: When I was with my ex seated on me your
Speaker 6: hat well sex for a female, and came home and
Speaker 6: tongue in my right after. So when I found out,
Speaker 6: I posed one of my exits and I had aver
Speaker 6: sex with him and then turns around and do the
Speaker 6: same thing.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, just passing around things. So you didn't break
Speaker 2: up with him though, you stayed with him.
Speaker 6: I just stay with him though. I just felt like
Speaker 6: I had to go head back.
Speaker 3: How did you know he did that to her? He
Speaker 3: told you, Oh no.
Speaker 6: You know, they're never going to tell you. So he
Speaker 6: had two phones, and I waited for him.
Speaker 4: To leave about the house.
Speaker 6: I grabbed his other phone. So when I grabbed the
Speaker 6: other phone, as he's walking out the door, he's chexting
Speaker 6: the girl telling her how wow.
Speaker 3: Oh my listen, my little feelings would have been hurt.
Speaker 5: Right, Oh my god, that's what that.
Speaker 2: Do you eat pineapples?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: Apparently does too.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. But after all of that, you still
Speaker 2: stay with him? Now? Does that mean you're done? It
Speaker 2: was just one get back and now you trust him?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 2: No, I never did something, so you still but you're
Speaker 2: still with him?
Speaker 3: Hey, you're still together.
Speaker 6: He passed away, so we're not together.
Speaker 3: Okay, story all right.
Speaker 6: Well, even if he still was alive, I wasn't ready
Speaker 6: to you behave after that, so we wouldn't have been together.
Speaker 2: Okay, this got morbid?
Speaker 7: Did well?
Speaker 2: Thank you for calling sharing with us, no problem, thank you?
Speaker 2: All right, Rest in peace to that man. All right,
Speaker 2: Well that was tell us a secret. Eight hundred two
Speaker 2: ninety two fifty one fifty. Y'all really got some secrets.
Speaker 2: When we come back, we have your yee tea, and
Speaker 2: let's discuss love is blind. There is one guy on
Speaker 2: the show who is not what he seems. Will tell
Speaker 2: you about his three kids who he scrubbed off of Instagram.
Speaker 2: Oh all right, it's way up, Joe.
Speaker 1: She's about to blow the lid ab off this spot.
Speaker 1: Let's get it. Oh, Yeah, Angela's feeling that yee tea,
Speaker 1: Come and get the tea.
Speaker 2: All right, it's way yep with Angela. Yeah, I'm here,
Speaker 2: Jasmine Brand is here on my own brand, man Djoko too.
Speaker 2: At the box office, not looking so good. It opened
Speaker 2: at number one with forty million dollars. Now, initially there
Speaker 2: were projections of fifty million to sixty five million, But
Speaker 2: it looks like it's not gonna make it there.
Speaker 3: Do you know anyone that saw the film, Angela?
Speaker 2: No, but everybody keeps acting like it's not that good. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I know these people in this room, like Nick Navy Sale,
Speaker 2: who is a huge fan. Okay, and he said that
Speaker 2: he's not really excited to see it, right, Well, you're
Speaker 2: not okay, all right, all right. Now, Diddy's mother has
Speaker 2: broken her silence on his alleged sex crimes. Yes, and
Speaker 2: she said in this statement, I come to you today
Speaker 2: as a mother that is devastated and profoundly saddened by
Speaker 2: the allegations made against my son Sean Colmbs. It's heartbreaking
Speaker 2: to see my son judge not for the truth, but
Speaker 2: for a narrative created out of lies. To bear a
Speaker 2: witness what seems to be like a public lynching of
Speaker 2: my son before he has had the opportunity to prove
Speaker 2: his innocence is a pain too unbearable to put into words.
Speaker 2: And then she said my son may not have been
Speaker 2: entirely truthful about certain things, such as denying he has
Speaker 2: ever gotten violent with an ext girlfriend when the hotels
Speaker 2: surveillance showed otherwise. Sometimes a truth and a lie becomes
Speaker 2: so closely intertwined that it becomes terrifying to omit one
Speaker 2: part of the story, especially when that truth is outside
Speaker 2: the norm or it's too complicated to be believed.
Speaker 7: What well, First of all, judgment that's very wordy and
Speaker 7: very long. I mean, I know this has got to
Speaker 7: be a heartbreaking time for her, but it was.
Speaker 3: I don't know if this helped. I don't know if
Speaker 3: this statement.
Speaker 2: But she also said that this is why I believe
Speaker 2: my son's civil legal team opted to settle the ex
Speaker 2: girlfriend's lawsuit instead of contesting it until the end, resulting
Speaker 2: in a ricochet effect as the federal government used this
Speaker 2: decision against my son by interpreting it as an admission
Speaker 2: of guilt. What, ma'am, I just want to say, we
Speaker 2: saw the video. You can't in one hand say he
Speaker 2: did some wrong things, and then on the other hand say
Speaker 2: he didn't admit that he was guilty.
Speaker 3: I agree. I just think maybe she shouldn't have.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe it says it's not the time maybe later
Speaker 2: to make a statement right now in the midst of all.
Speaker 3: But I understand that's a child.
Speaker 2: Because ruefully, and listen, that's her son. But with social media,
Speaker 2: nobody's going to be like, you're right at all at all? Yeah,
Speaker 2: all right now, Love is Blind season seven. Man, this
Speaker 2: guy Tyler Francis, and everybody was thinking that they were
Speaker 2: like the best couple on the show, him and Ashley. Well,
Speaker 2: it looks like he has some secrets on him. Okay, Now,
Speaker 2: according to a woman on Facebook the name by the
Speaker 2: name of Lovetta Thomas, he has three children oh with
Speaker 2: her daughter, and Lovetta then shared a handful of photos
Speaker 2: and screenshots of Tyler and his alleged three children, which
Speaker 2: proved that he is a dad of three and he
Speaker 2: did not reveal this to Ashley during their pod dates
Speaker 2: or in Mexico. So people are saying all different kinds
Speaker 2: of things. You know, the investigators are on TikTok right now. Yes,
Speaker 2: but here is what is being said, now, this is
Speaker 2: the tea that's been going around on TikTok. Here's gab
Speaker 2: with Gwenn.
Speaker 9: Okay Tyler from Love Is Blind Season seven was very
Speaker 9: active in all of his children's lives up until a
Speaker 9: year ago when he decided to ditch them and pretend
Speaker 9: like they didn't exist. This person said, I can confirm
Speaker 9: he has three children. It was not a sperm donor
Speaker 9: situation from.
Speaker 2: What he told everyone.
Speaker 9: In fact, he was so active in their lives that
Speaker 9: he owes thirty thousand dollars in child support for these
Speaker 9: children allegedly.
Speaker 2: So they're saying he scrubbed his whole social media of
Speaker 2: the kids.
Speaker 3: Listen, I'm on his install his legs. I don't see
Speaker 3: no keys.
Speaker 2: So then people were trying to say that he is
Speaker 2: a sperm donor. Oh, but then there's pictures that were
Speaker 2: shared that make it seem like he was a lot
Speaker 2: more involved than just being a sperm donor.
Speaker 3: That's weird.
Speaker 7: Not so, that's weird not to have a child. It's
Speaker 7: one thing you don't want to have your cheers on
Speaker 7: an ig, but least say I'm a dad, like, at
Speaker 7: least let it be known when you're you know, doing
Speaker 7: this show.
Speaker 2: Now, the woman Levetta is saying that he hasn't seen
Speaker 2: his three kids in quite some time, and so I'm
Speaker 2: not sure, but he did tell Ashley on the show
Speaker 2: that there's going to be people coming up from his
Speaker 2: past that would have some not so great things to
Speaker 2: say about him.
Speaker 3: You got some splaining to do, Tyler.
Speaker 2: All right, Okay, well that is your yet when we
Speaker 2: come back under the radar, these are the stories that
Speaker 2: are not necessarily in the headlines. They're flying under the radar.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about the chanel start getting broken into just
Speaker 2: two blocks away from here, and what was really shocking
Speaker 2: about it the amount of money. It's way up.
Speaker 1: Position in the news that relates to you. These stories
Speaker 1: are flying under the radar.
Speaker 2: All right, it's way up at Angela. Yee, I'm here,
Speaker 2: Jasmine Brand is here.
Speaker 3: I'm not just brand, I'm my own brand.
Speaker 2: And it's under the radar time. And let's start with
Speaker 2: some breaking news. Okay, this just happened. The Supreme Court
Speaker 2: declined today to hear an appeal from r Kelly, who's
Speaker 2: currently serving a prison sentence for federal sex crime convictions.
Speaker 2: He was already serving a thirty year sentence for sex trafficking.
Speaker 2: This is from a twenty twenty one New York case,
Speaker 2: and that's when he was convicted of child pornography in Chicago.
Speaker 2: He was sentenced to twenty years in twenty twenty three
Speaker 2: for that. And so the Supreme Court denied his appeal
Speaker 2: today without explaining the reasoning, and there were no noted descents.
Speaker 2: So federal prosecutors declined to respond to his appeal.
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean sometimes I forget I forget about R.
Speaker 3: Kelly sometimes.
Speaker 2: M hmmm, yeah, I mean he's gonna be gone. Yeah,
Speaker 2: all right. Now, two men smashed into the Chanel store
Speaker 2: and this is literally two blocks from this job where
Speaker 2: we are at right now at iHeart.
Speaker 3: Yes, and we've purchased now, yes, we have.
Speaker 2: We actually left here one day to run over there
Speaker 2: and buy something. I haven't bought anything since that was
Speaker 2: a long time ago. Yeah, the purses were worth around
Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars, but they only got thirty thousand dollars
Speaker 2: worth of purses, so disappointing. And then they fled on foot.
Speaker 2: And there's no immediate description or arrest, but police are
Speaker 2: recovering surveillance video from the store. The store is now
Speaker 2: all boarded up this morning, So if you have any information,
Speaker 2: they want you to contact the police. Worth No, kiddy, if.
Speaker 7: You're want to break into if you're want to break
Speaker 7: into Chanelle, you gotta do more, you gotta do it better.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking they broke into Shanell. They got a whole
Speaker 2: bit crazy thirty thousand dollars. But good for Chanelle because
Speaker 2: that's not a crazy not that anybody should ever do that.
Speaker 2: The more expensive part is just placing that glass, which
Speaker 2: is always annoying. You know when someone breaks into your
Speaker 2: car and you're like, R corust me more to replace
Speaker 2: this glass.
Speaker 3: I just I really feel like they didn't think it through.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they fled on foot and so you know,
Speaker 2: they broke through the window of the store.
Speaker 3: Three bags boom.
Speaker 2: All right, this happens seven pm on a Sunday. That's
Speaker 2: like not even late, that's just during the day. All right, Well,
Speaker 2: that is you're under the radar now, you know. We
Speaker 2: have the way up mixed at the top of the hour.
Speaker 2: Plus I'm a Ray is going to be joining us.
Speaker 2: She's currently on tour with Sabrina Carpenter. She has her
Speaker 2: roses our red tears are blue a Fountain Baby. She
Speaker 2: has the extended album that's out right now. But she
Speaker 2: is just an amazing artist. No specific genre that you
Speaker 2: could even place her in, and I think she wouldn't
Speaker 2: want it any other way. It's way up with Angela Yee,
Speaker 2: she'll be joining us today. It's way up, they say
Speaker 2: the rooms from industry shade to all of gossip.
Speaker 1: How Angelas spieling that.
Speaker 2: It's way up with Angela Ye, I'm here, Jasmine brand
Speaker 2: is here, I'm my own brand and it's e tea time. Yes,
Speaker 2: all right, the richest female musician. Do you know who
Speaker 2: that is?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: I have a guess, and this is the world's richest
Speaker 2: female musician. What's your guests?
Speaker 3: Rihanna?
Speaker 2: Rihanna's number two on the list, she was number one,
Speaker 2: but number one is Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift is now
Speaker 2: worth a report at one point six billion dollars because
Speaker 2: of her sold out Eras tour that was the biggest
Speaker 2: boost of her financial portfolio. She also has about one
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five million dollars in real estate holdings,
Speaker 2: and she is also the first musician to reach billionaire status,
Speaker 2: mainly from her music and live shows. Dope and she's
Speaker 2: planning to go back on tour. She said to return
Speaker 2: to the final leg of her Eras tour next week,
Speaker 2: so that means even more money.
Speaker 3: She doesn't take a break, does she?
Speaker 2: No, she does not. And Beyonce is several spots below.
Speaker 2: She has a net worth of seven hundred and sixty
Speaker 2: million dollars, but Rihanna is worth one point four billion.
Speaker 2: Previously she was at one point seven billion. That's thanks
Speaker 2: to her cosmetic line and lingerie brand.
Speaker 3: Number two was not a bad spot.
Speaker 2: It's not. I'll take it. I'll take one through fifty anyone,
Speaker 2: it will all right. Now, let's talk about Nicki Minaj.
Speaker 2: You know she's been breaking records on her tour as well.
Speaker 2: And by the way, Safari went to the show in Miami,
Speaker 2: and I saw everybody was recording him in the audience.
Speaker 2: He did have on a gene vest. And then a
Speaker 2: lot of.
Speaker 3: People, wait a minute, why did you bring that up?
Speaker 2: Because they always talking about his gene vest and people
Speaker 2: were talking about it, and he was talking about it. Yes,
Speaker 2: And so here is Nicki Minaj on stage. People were
Speaker 2: feeling like she did this because Safari was in the audience.
Speaker 2: But I feel like she does this. He just happened
Speaker 2: to be an audience. Have you ever had your heart
Speaker 2: from you?
Speaker 3: And money word?
Speaker 2: All right now? Safari in the meantime, was having a
Speaker 2: time of his life. He posted, I'm proud, no cap
Speaker 2: A lot of y'all will never understand, but there is
Speaker 2: no malice in me. I'm proud. And to prove it,
Speaker 2: he was definitely singing along here he is in the
Speaker 2: audience from he's yeah he is, but he was, you know,
Speaker 2: very instrumental early on he was with her. They were
Speaker 2: in a group together. Yeah, so yeah, I love that.
Speaker 2: I do think she may have done that because her
Speaker 2: because he was there. Like the husband thing, I think
Speaker 2: she may have been Yeah, and her husband was on
Speaker 2: that stage too. Let's be clear. Okay, all right now,
Speaker 2: let's talk about a breakup DDG. He's on an episode
Speaker 2: of his No Ordinary podcast that aired on Thursday, and
Speaker 2: he talked about what he would tell his younger self.
Speaker 2: Here's what he said, And if I.
Speaker 7: Can tell myself something at age twenty two, I would
Speaker 7: tell myself not to get in a relationship because it's
Speaker 7: damnitar like having a part time job.
Speaker 2: Wow. Okay, but he said, you know, you might be
Speaker 2: doing videos all day, and your girl gets an attitude
Speaker 2: when you're doing your last video, like when you're gonna
Speaker 2: take me out to eat, when you're gonna take me
Speaker 2: to the movies, when we going to go on a date,
Speaker 2: And then it causes relationship problems in your real life
Speaker 2: that can affect your content.
Speaker 3: When when.
Speaker 2: He used it for a lot of content too, though
Speaker 2: they were both on there as well.
Speaker 3: I didn't know about him until they started dating.
Speaker 2: Oh I did. I definitely know he's been on lip
Speaker 2: service is anything.
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm the demo either, but not, you know, right, And.
Speaker 2: He does music. He's really big in social media spaces
Speaker 2: and YouTube. So ye, it does seem like he's a
Speaker 2: good dad. And they did say they're still best friends.
Speaker 2: But she reposted this after they announced their breakup, and
Speaker 2: so a lot of people were like, how ironic is this?
Speaker 2: And here's what she put in her stories.
Speaker 5: Break is mothing, my egism love a B.
Speaker 2: And that's her singing, please please please buy Sabrina Carpenter.
Speaker 3: She sounds beautiful, she's an amazing voice.
Speaker 2: She's the real little mermaid, all right, And yeah that's.
Speaker 3: It, Angela. I'm a little distracted. I don't mean to
Speaker 3: cut you off. I love this lip you have one?
Speaker 2: Oh well, thank you. This is my Spike Valentino Buttery
Speaker 2: matt lip color, which has the magnetic so that it
Speaker 2: just closes by itself. You hear the little snap, so
Speaker 2: you know it's not going to fall off in your
Speaker 2: bag lift. It won't get all over all of your things,
Speaker 2: all right. And it has beautiful packaging just like the
Speaker 2: Valentino shoes and bags, the studs on it, and it
Speaker 2: lasts around ten hours. So I've had this on since
Speaker 2: this morning and as you can see, it's staying.
Speaker 3: Can you give me one.
Speaker 2: So anyway when we come back, yes, I well I
Speaker 2: got you there, I got your girl. I got all
Speaker 2: different colors. I'll get you a different color. Okay, all right,
Speaker 2: well we have asked ye when we come back. Eight
Speaker 2: hundred two ninety two fifty one fifty is the number.
Speaker 2: Call us up any question you have. We're here to
Speaker 2: help you out. Of course I'm gonna get you some
Speaker 2: eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty. But here's
Speaker 2: some glurilla TG. I F it's way up, all right.
Speaker 1: Everybody like sens, whether it's relationship for career advice. Angela's
Speaker 1: dropping facts. You should know this is ask.
Speaker 2: Gee, what's up? As way up at Angela? Yee, I'm here,
Speaker 2: Jasmine brand is here. Yes, you ready for some advice?
Speaker 2: To get some ask ye advice?
Speaker 3: Yes, I am all right.
Speaker 2: We have a voicemail and this person left a message
Speaker 2: because we take our questions that way. Also, you can
Speaker 2: click that little microphone on the iHeart app, or you
Speaker 2: can also call us up and leave a voicemail. Eight
Speaker 2: hundred two nine two fifty one fifty. Now here is
Speaker 2: the question.
Speaker 8: I need some advice on my eight year relationship, my
Speaker 8: four year marriage with my wife. The past year, we've
Speaker 8: been arguing a lot more, not sleeping with each other
Speaker 8: as far as one of us fare is one downs fairs,
Speaker 8: and it's kind of making me desire other women. I
Speaker 8: don't know why, but I need some advice. I need
Speaker 8: some help.
Speaker 7: Who.
Speaker 2: Man, that's tough. And you know this happens more than
Speaker 2: we even talk about and think about. A lot of
Speaker 2: times people are married and things kind of fall apart.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And he said they've been arguing for like a year.
Speaker 2: And they don't even sleep in the same room together,
Speaker 2: and it feels like there's been no resolved and maybe
Speaker 2: they've kind of lost the attraction for each other. And
Speaker 2: so I would say, because he's saying that he's starting
Speaker 2: to think about other women, hey, don't cheat. If you
Speaker 2: decide you don't want to do this, at least do
Speaker 2: it the right way. So if you feel like this
Speaker 2: marriage can't be worked out, then focus on that and
Speaker 2: focus on figuring out how you want to move forward
Speaker 2: before you do something that's unforgivable forever. Right and B
Speaker 2: I say, this feels like a situation where y'all definitely
Speaker 2: need to get into some couple's therapy, absolutely, because I
Speaker 2: don't know exactly what the problems are. How y'all got
Speaker 2: to where you are. If she's going through something personal,
Speaker 2: sometimes you could have other things going on in your
Speaker 2: life that affects your relationship and you isolate yourself. We
Speaker 2: don't know if she's going through a depression. We don't
Speaker 2: know if she's had a baby and going through postpartum.
Speaker 2: I don't know what the problem is. And it feels
Speaker 2: like you guys are not communicating with each other. And
Speaker 2: I think a lot of times when relationships fall apart,
Speaker 2: it's that breakdown and communication that's the foundation of that
Speaker 2: falling apart.
Speaker 3: It starts and then it just keeps going right.
Speaker 2: And if you do something like cheat and get caught
Speaker 2: because y'all always cheat thinking you're not going to get caught,
Speaker 2: when you do get caught, that's going to be something
Speaker 2: that is going to weigh on you and it's going
Speaker 2: to weigh on her. And it's not ten times worse, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it makes it ten times worse. And so if you
Speaker 2: guys agree to separate and that you can do what
Speaker 2: you want to do and then work on if you're
Speaker 2: not going to be together figuring out how you're going
Speaker 2: to separate, then that's fine. But I will say it
Speaker 2: feels like it may be worth saving because you're not
Speaker 2: saying you don't love her anymore.
Speaker 7: It sounds like he cares enough that, you know, I
Speaker 7: feel like it might be worth fighting for.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And sometimes it is harder to talk to the
Speaker 2: person who's closest to you. Yeah, And I don't know,
Speaker 2: like what type of role you're playing in this whole
Speaker 2: situation and what type of role she's playing. But maybe
Speaker 2: y'all need to speak to someone individually and then also together.
Speaker 2: But it's worth the investment. Because I don't know if
Speaker 2: you have kids together, but if you are going to
Speaker 2: have to co parent, you'd rather set an example for
Speaker 2: the kids where kids see that. I know when my
Speaker 2: parents didn't get along, I saw all of that, and
Speaker 2: you know what's going on, and you don't know how
Speaker 2: that's going to affect how they have relationships later. So
Speaker 2: aside from thinking about just yourself and your happiness, also
Speaker 2: think about how it affects the family. All right, eight
Speaker 2: hundred and two ninety two fifty one fifty. If you
Speaker 2: have any questions, you can always call us up and
Speaker 2: as you can see, you can also leave a voice message.
Speaker 2: And when we come back, I'm a Ray is going
Speaker 2: to be joining us. She's currently on tour opening for
Speaker 2: Sabrina Carpenter. She was supposed to be on tour with
Speaker 2: Donald Glover next but I saw he just canceled that
Speaker 2: to Yeah, so maybe she's available, you know, but regardless,
Speaker 2: amazing amazing artists. You also just recently did her own tour.
Speaker 2: You can go back and check out her tiny desk
Speaker 2: as well. But she'll be joining us. It's way up this, yeah.
Speaker 1: Y'all more way up with Angela on now what it is.
Speaker 2: What's up is way up with Angela Yee and I
Speaker 2: know this woman is incredibly busy. So thank you to
Speaker 2: Amay for joining me today.
Speaker 5: How you feeling, I feel great. I feel great. Thank
Speaker 5: you so much for having me. I've been such a
Speaker 5: fan for years. Of course I would have never thought, yeah,
Speaker 5: that's of course. It's always amazing to me because I
Speaker 5: remember I've been doing this. It's twenty years in radio
Speaker 5: for me this year.
Speaker 10: You're an icon. I've been tuned in for years.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you. I appreciate that you're not in any
Speaker 2: one specific genre of music, and that is all very
Speaker 2: intentional to and sometimes that can be like confusing for people.
Speaker 2: But for real music fans, we can just listen to
Speaker 2: it and be like, I just love this.
Speaker 10: No, for sure, for sure, I think it's choo.
Speaker 5: Things like as a black girl number one, and then
Speaker 5: as an African girl. I know so many girls that
Speaker 5: are so cool and so diverse, and I think that
Speaker 5: I love that I get to be some type of
Speaker 5: representation for them, you know what I mean. And I
Speaker 5: think that being a genre bender, especially as an African girl,
Speaker 5: might come as confusing to some people, but so many
Speaker 5: kids that I grew up around so many girls. So
Speaker 5: many women that I grew up around, listen to so
Speaker 5: many different types of music, are so diverse, and like
Speaker 5: their cultural experiences and the things that they bring to
Speaker 5: you know, their own lives in other people's lives. So
Speaker 5: I'm just an amalgamation of like all of the women
Speaker 5: that I've met and that are around me, and you know, and.
Speaker 10: I think that I bring that to my music too.
Speaker 2: I think about that because my best friend she when
Speaker 2: she first started doing music, she was like a punk
Speaker 2: rock artist, but she's black, right, Santi Gold, and she had.
Speaker 10: Like, oh my god, no, that's your best friend.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got another icon, like what are you talking?
Speaker 2: I went to college together, nor roommates like all after that.
Speaker 10: Sonti Gold is the reason I like am so diverse.
Speaker 2: Right now we are talking to the Fountain Baby herself.
Speaker 2: I'm a ray now. The video for Sweet That's, by
Speaker 2: the way, a beautiful video. Did you feel like that
Speaker 2: was risque for you to make it? I saw you
Speaker 2: on the news recently saying that when you go to Ghana,
Speaker 2: you feel like you don't get the love that they
Speaker 2: should be giving an artist, you know, because you're something
Speaker 2: somebody that is very intention on also making sure that
Speaker 2: you're being inclusive of everyone.
Speaker 10: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: Do you think it's like Riscae moves like that that
Speaker 2: gets you back in Ghana criticism? You know what?
Speaker 10: I think that I came out of the gates swinging.
Speaker 5: Like one of my very first note, one of my
Speaker 5: very first music videos had like trans women in it,
Speaker 5: It had gay people in it had kids in it,
Speaker 5: it had the world. So that is what that's my
Speaker 5: representation of. I see the world, and I care about
Speaker 5: the world, and I care about community. So that's what
Speaker 5: like my visual representation is all about. But like with Sweet,
Speaker 5: it would just be sexy, just like to be sexy
Speaker 5: girl lying on the bed, Like why not? You know,
Speaker 5: it's twenty twenty four and we live in a world
Speaker 5: that accepts all lifestyles and all paths. But to answer
Speaker 5: your question as far as like not receiving a certain
Speaker 5: level of support or amount of support, I definitely do
Speaker 5: think that my music was niche and it's still considered
Speaker 5: niche to the people back home. And I think that
Speaker 5: support wise, I see it from the girls that are
Speaker 5: just like me. They are the ones that are championing
Speaker 5: my movement and are like, oh my God, we love Amaree.
Speaker 5: But then I think in a grander scheme of things,
Speaker 5: you know, I think I radicalize the population a little
Speaker 5: bit and it's like, h let's see how it goes
Speaker 5: with this girl.
Speaker 2: But this world is very conservative.
Speaker 10: It is, yeah, it is.
Speaker 5: But I think that when we talk about conservatism, I
Speaker 5: do think that it's the generation before us that's still
Speaker 5: kind of like there's still a changing of the guard happening,
Speaker 5: and I think the older generation is just kind of
Speaker 5: like you guys are just a little too much. My
Speaker 5: mom almost was like, you're not going to drop that video,
Speaker 5: and I was like, watch me.
Speaker 2: I'm a Ray is here with us. She's currently on
Speaker 2: tour opening for being a carpenter, but we have more
Speaker 2: with Harry when we come back. It's way up.
Speaker 5: Everybody, ye, but you're all being waiting folks.
Speaker 1: You're tapped in a way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 2: What's up? Its way up with Angela Yee. And I
Speaker 2: am talking to Amaree. I saw you said that Babyface
Speaker 2: influenced you and made you actually have to go back
Speaker 2: and rewrite an album.
Speaker 5: Yes, ma'am, So I think the cool thing with meeting
Speaker 5: Babyface was this is probably the human being that has
Speaker 5: written the songs that have defined all of our lives. Right, Like,
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure I was like conceived to a Babyface song.
Speaker 5: So so imagine going in and you watch his process.
Speaker 5: And the cool thing for him was like he never
Speaker 5: leaves a story open ended. And when we were writing together,
Speaker 5: I would say a line and he would be like, yes,
Speaker 5: but why and what does this lead to? And what
Speaker 5: does this teach the audience? And I was like, Oh,
Speaker 5: I'm just saying things because I just think they sound
Speaker 5: cool and fly. And so when I did those with Kenny,
Speaker 5: I went back and I was like, I called my
Speaker 5: co writer Mason and I was like, Hey, we need
Speaker 5: to go back in the studio and rewrite the album.
Speaker 5: So you have to fly to Ghana and he was like, oh, okay,
Speaker 5: and then he came and I love that he took
Speaker 5: the feedback on board. And every time the same thing
Speaker 5: Kenny would do to me, Why can that be stronger?
Speaker 10: What are we teaching them? Does this make sense?
Speaker 5: You know? So that's I shout out to Kenny, shout
Speaker 5: out to baby Face, the greatest in the world.
Speaker 2: Right now, we are talking to the fountain baby herself
Speaker 2: I'm a ray. The music business is also not an
Speaker 2: easy place to be in, but at least you have
Speaker 2: your mom as your manager, right, grateful for that, where
Speaker 2: they like scared about certain things for you, because even
Speaker 2: just financially, you know, people signing deals that aren't like
Speaker 2: the best deals and getting taken advantage of. But then
Speaker 2: also having to be in the studio. You're a woman,
Speaker 2: You're you know, a beautiful woman. I'm sure there's times
Speaker 2: when people can test you and try you. What has
Speaker 2: that been like for you.
Speaker 10: As far as just having someone that have my back.
Speaker 5: My mom is on everyone's but you know, like and
Speaker 5: she's reading the contracts and being like this is not
Speaker 5: gonna fly, this is gonna fly. I can negotiate on this,
Speaker 5: I can give some leeway on that, but ultimately I
Speaker 5: care about her pockets, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 5: she's also the CFO of the company, Like all the
Speaker 5: money goes through her and everything has to be approved,
Speaker 5: and obviously she'll have conversations with me about hey, we're
Speaker 5: spending this on that, this cost this, this, this costs that.
Speaker 5: But she's really like safeguarding, you know, the legacy that
Speaker 5: we're building. As far as being a woman that you
Speaker 5: know has to deal with men. I think that I
Speaker 5: hold my own pretty well. I will beat you up and.
Speaker 10: It's not even a game. I will beat you up.
Speaker 2: All right. What's been the most surreal experience for you
Speaker 2: so far?
Speaker 10: Opening for Sabrina? For MSG, that was crazy.
Speaker 5: I was like, do you remember when you were like
Speaker 5: in your mom's house in Ghana, like making songs and
Speaker 5: hoping that something would happen, and like, this is what
Speaker 5: four or five years later, and this is where you're at.
Speaker 10: This is you need to think about that? So that
Speaker 10: has been surreal?
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, and you guys make sure roses are red,
Speaker 2: tears are blue. I found Baby ex Stand play amazing.
Speaker 2: It's a good time, it is sexy, it's great for
Speaker 2: no matter what mood it is that you're in just everything. Like,
Speaker 2: I just love what it is that you do because
Speaker 2: I'm a music lover and I love all different types
Speaker 2: of gimers of music, and I've I have also always
Speaker 2: hated that people have to be pigeonholed into different categories.
Speaker 2: So I appreciate what it is that you bring to
Speaker 2: the table.
Speaker 10: Thank you.
Speaker 5: I appreciate that. Thank you, and thank you so much
Speaker 5: for having me. I have such a great time.
