1:24

All right, it's way up. I'm Angela. You on

Monday, April twenty ninth, and.

1:28

It's time to shine a light.

1:29

This is where we spread some love, we spread some positivity,

1:32

and we have a really special one today. My

1:34

producer Dan had some good

1:36

news and he wants to shine a night.

1:38

Yeah. I actually might cry doing this. So I want to

1:40

shine a light on my mom. Her name is Sharon. She

1:43

had a cancer scare last week. It

1:45

was melanoma, which you know, God forbid

1:48

if she were to get it. It is very treatable, but we

1:50

caught it early and thank

1:52

god, she is cancer free. It

1:55

was something that was weighing very heavy on me

1:57

and my family for quite some time. I was trying to be quiet

1:59

about it, but you know, sometimes

2:01

it's hard to hide some emotions. So I appreciate

2:03

you for being that for me, Angela. But

2:06

you know, it was something that like my dad's a two time cancer

2:08

survivor, so I kind of like coped

2:11

with the fact that he had it, but coping

2:13

with the fact that my mother could potentially

2:15

have it was very heavy.

2:17

Well, we love that for you and for Mama

2:19

Sharon for making sure that she

2:22

called her melanoma early.

2:23

That is a blessing.

2:24

You were definitely in here stressed out when

2:26

she wasn't responding to text messages.

2:28

I was wrong about her doctor's appointment. I thought it was at

2:30

eleven, but it was at four.

2:33

Yeah, all right, Well, congratulations

2:36

to you. That is amazing news.

2:37

Love you Ma.

2:38

All right. Well, who do you guys want to shine a light on?

2:40

Eight hundred and two nine two fifty one fifty Shelley, Who

2:42

2:44

I like to shout out Keith Toy, the

2:46

2:48

pillar of the city of Detroit. She's been getting

2:50

all of the entrepreneurs together and marketing,

2:53

2:55

promote their brand. And I just want to shout her out

3:39

All right, well that was Hina Light eight hundred

3:41

two ninety two fifty one fifty in case you couldn't

3:43

get through. And when we come back, let's

3:46

get right into it. Ryan Garcia, he's got

3:48

a lot going on after his win against

3:50

Devin Haney.

3:51

Will tell you the type of trolling that he's doing now.

3:53

It's way up in

3:55

the rooms.

3:56

From industry shade to all of gossip

3:58

out sending.

3:59

Angel that all

4:02

right, it's way up. I'm Angela yee.

4:04

My producer Dan is here with me today Top of the

4:06

Morning, Top of the Morning. Say yeah, and let's

4:09

talk about all of this box. I feel like this

4:11

boxing drama is all over the place right

4:13

now. All right, Well, Javante

4:15

Davis is saying that Floyd Mayweather is being.

4:17

Held hostage in Dubai.

4:20

He said that he's been taking

4:22

people's money and not doing what they paid

4:25

him to do. And he also said

4:27

that Floyd is a hater and he said, tell

4:29

him, I'll send him a wire.

4:30

Let my fing family go.

4:31

And then he said that money looking funny like that

4:34

fake hair on his head and face. Let me call

4:36

fifty. We got to get this N word home by

4:38

Monday. And then Fifty responded,

4:40

of course, and he said, oh nah, this is real.

4:43

He said Javante would not saying nothing like

4:45

that if it wasn't official. Me and chan't be beefing. But

4:47

he my brother, I got some money if he needed

4:50

so. Not sure what's going on there, but he said

4:53

Champ got a lot of money. He just can't help, but he will beat

4:55

the people out of the money if he can. You

4:57

think this is a two thing.

4:58

I was just going to ask you that.

5:00

Yeah, I'm not sure.

5:02

I'm not sure what he got paid to do out there, if

5:04

he didn't do it, if he's being held hostage.

5:07

But I do know there's all this boxing drama,

5:09

like I said, and Ryan Garcia is accusing

5:12

Davante Davis of sleeping with Floyd Mayweather's

5:14

daughter. Yeah, yeah, And you know, Ryan

5:16

Garcia just says things, so we don't know if we can

5:18

believe this or not. But he's

5:21

I guess insinuating that's why the two of them aren't getting

5:23

along.

5:24

Dramatic for his daughter. And that's not

5:26

even a secret, that's not even like, that's not something

5:29

I'm exposing.

5:30

It's messy, right, It's messy. And Ryan's

5:33

being even messier. He did a Devin Hainey dish

5:35

track after he beat

5:37

him at the Barclays, and here's what that sounded

5:39

like.

5:40

They didn't think.

5:40

That I work in but I got

5:43

in there and got the job.

5:46

The world.

5:49

Got that handy past throwing in mind.

5:53

I mean, talk about a sore

5:55

winner. He's

5:58

got so much going on right now. I don't

6:00

know what's going to happen with him. Me the hell fight tank

6:02

again, I hope so yeah, And you

6:04

think he would win this side? I mean, hey,

6:07

all right, speaking of winning, Taylor

6:09

Swift two point six one million

6:11

units. That's the best number for

6:13

any album in nine years

6:15

for the Tortured Poets Department.

6:17

Can you believe that the last album

6:19

to debut.

6:20

With a higher number was Adele's

6:22

twenty five that had three point four eight two

6:24

million and twenty fifteen.

6:25

Wow?

6:26

Yeah, And things have changed so much since then,

6:28

it's really hard to do that. But she said, my mind is

6:30

blown. I'm completely floored by the

6:32

love you've shown this album. Two point six million? Are

6:34

you actually serious? Thank you

6:37

for listening, streaming and welcoming Tortured Poets

6:39

into your life. Feeling completely overwhelmed. I

6:41

was already so fired up to get back to the tour,

6:43

but you're doing this.

6:45

May ninth can't come soon enough.

6:47

Those numbers are crazy.

6:48

That is huge.

6:49

You look at like forty k for first week and that's

6:51

a win.

6:52

I mean two

6:54

point six one million, that is absolutely

6:56

ridiculous. And you know she had

6:59

the new album streaming in sales

7:01

and a thirty one song deluxe

7:03

version that was released. Also

7:05

a lot going on there all right, well that

7:07

is your yet and when we come back, we have about

7:10

last night. That's where we discussed what

7:12

we did last night. I was at a party

7:14

at the Mayor's house at Gracie Mansion. I'm

7:16

gonna tell you guys about that evening

7:19

that we had shout out to all of the small

7:21

business owners who are listening.

7:23

You know, I got love for y'all.

7:24

In the meantime, let's show some love to a girl,

7:26

Ashanti, who is about to have this baby.

7:29

And listen Unfoolish.

7:31

I don't think this matters anymore. I think she's about to do

7:34

happy. But anyway, here's a shanty and biggie

7:36

with Unfoolish.

7:36

It's way up.

7:39

So about last night, Yes,

7:42

I went down.

7:45

It's way up, Angela yee, And

7:48

it's time for about last night. My producer Dan is

7:50

rocking with me today. I'm in the process

7:52

of I have this new

7:54

house that I've been working on for over three

7:56

years. It's been a nightmare for me, but

7:59

I supposed well.

8:01

I have deliveries coming into my new

8:03

house, so I'll be moving in there soon. But it's

8:06

a lot of work and I've been in my old

8:08

house for like eleven years. And when

8:10

I tell you, all I did this weekend was packed

8:12

And you know how you think this is only going to take a couple of hours.

8:15

Well, let's just say I was up until three

8:17

am trying to get it together.

8:20

You don't realize how much stuff you have.

8:21

You don't realize how much stuff you have. You don't

8:23

know what you want to get rid of. And I kind of lightweight

8:25

think I'm a hoarder.

8:26

You are?

8:27

Why do you say that?

8:27

Definitely are? How do you know everything? No?

8:30

I don't. Why do you say I'm a hoarder?

8:32

Whenever stuff gets sent to the station, You're was like, oh, yeah,

8:35

keep that, I'll take that home. I'll take that home, and then it sits in the

8:37

station for like, I feel bad.

8:39

I'm gonna tell you what I feel bad about.

8:40

When somebody like gives me something

8:43

and don't let it have like my name on it, I

8:45

feel bad.

8:46

I can't throw it away.

8:47

Because I'm like they may went

8:49

out of their way to do this, So

8:52

yes, I think I am lightweight to hold it out. Like I was

8:54

looking through stuff and I'm like, why do I still have

8:56

this? And then I have my taxes

8:58

from like two thousand eight, I'm

9:00

like, should I just I got a paper shredder? I

9:02

had one at home, so I was shredding. I

9:04

had like eight bags of paperwork that I

9:06

had to shred. But I literally have stuff

9:08

from when I was on tour back in the day

9:10

with like fifty cent in eminem.

9:13

I have the books, I know.

9:15

That's what I'm saying. Am I supposed to throw that away? Because

9:17

how do you know what's a good memory to keep?

9:19

And how do you know what to throw away? You

9:22

know, I have stuff from when I was on tour with Wu

9:24

Tang. You know how long ago that was. But it

9:26

also feels like memories. Yeah,

9:28

And so what I think somebody needs to invent, because

9:30

I've been looking for this is like a huge oversized

9:33

scrap book for things like that. That could be like

9:35

a dope coffee book table, but

9:37

like a big scrap book for all of your old memories,

9:40

you know what I mean. Because I found so much stuff

9:42

that I was like, Ooh, I can't throw this

9:44

out.

9:45

I have to keep this. But then at the same time, I'm like, should

9:47

I just throw it out?

9:48

How do y'all decide like what to get rid of and what to

9:50

keep what's so important to you. It'd

9:52

be like a ticket to when I got a chance

9:54

to tait court side of the game, I'm like, do I throw this away?

9:59

It's a ticket in my.

10:01

In my head.

10:02

One day I'm gonna put together a scrap book

10:04

and like write something under each thing.

10:05

But I don't think it's ever gonna happen. I

10:08

have plans, though I have.

10:09

That's what happens, and that's a hoarding.

10:11

And then the clothes that you're like, one day, this is gonna

10:13

fit again when

10:16

I get back in the gym.

10:17

One day, this is gonna fit. I don't want to throw it out,

10:19

just sell it.

10:20

All right, Well that is about last night,

10:22

and when we come back, it's time for tell us a secret.

10:24

I found a lot of secrets too.

10:26

I have literally letters and

10:28

notes that people passing me from when I was in

10:30

school.

10:32

I have notes from Lauren Hill.

10:34

That's cool.

10:34

I should keep that.

10:35

That's worth keeping.

10:36

That's oh okay, the

10:38

line somewhere all.

10:39

Right, eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty

10:41

So I married in Africa and I love

12:51

him. Looking at my peoples. We get along

12:53

great. But his family is the

12:55

most ugnest undercover people I

12:57

ever met.

12:59

Wait, what's wrong with that.

13:01

Beggar?

13:02

Oh okay, I.

13:03

Mean they

13:05

mean well, okay, but

13:08

for a situation. And his sister's gonna make

13:10

me some outfits. So I was like, you know what, I'm coming

13:12

here soon. I'll bring you some here shoes,

13:15

whatever you need and replace

13:17

it, making me the outfit. And she was like that's fine.

13:20

So then I'm going so and now

13:22

my husband's like, oh, my sister doesn't

13:24

want to hear. She's shame to tell

13:26

you. But then his sister says being

13:28

message is like, oh, I have many things to pay

13:31

rent. Like sister, theres too.

13:33

My husband lost his contact, Like, lady,

13:35

do tell me you want me to pay your rent?

13:37

Oh? Yeah

13:39

she did. You're like I didn't need a whole explanation.

13:42

Yeah, it was like, come on, now, I don't need

13:45

to know your business like that, because baby, I'm not paying

13:47

nobody's rent. Well,

13:50

you wanted the money for the outfits. You should

13:52

have said that.

13:52

From the get cap what you're gonna do?

13:54

I ain't bringing nothing, and

13:57

they're going I don't even want the outfree. So I told

13:59

him, never mind, it's not about the one hundred and twenty

14:01

five dollars because that's nothing, because I don't.

14:03

Think that has to be four times in the year, so.

14:05

It's really nothing.

14:06

But it's the percival.

14:07

You know what I'm saying.

14:08

Are y'all gonna get along? Are y'all gonna get along

14:11

after this?

14:11

14:14

I love my husband and he says, my wife is

14:16

very crazy, so he already know.

14:18

What it is as the boisterous person. You should tell

14:20

her that so she knows how to move in the future.

14:22

Yeah, because I was just block not

14:40

until then, and y'all could have a nice heart to heart.

14:42

14:46

All right, Well that was tell us a secret.

14:48

Thank y'all for calling always eight hundred two ninet

14:50

two fifty one to fifty. If you couldn't get through, leave

14:52

that message and when we come back, we have your Yet,

14:55

Let's talk about Kanye West. He

14:57

is accused of discriminating against

15:00

black employees. Will tell you about

15:02

this new lawsuit.

15:03

Yo, she's about to blow the lead about this five.

15:05

Let's get it.

15:06

Oh yeah, angelus feeling that ye tea,

15:08

Come and get the tea.

15:10

It's the way I'm angela yee and it's

15:12

time for your yee t. And Kanye West

15:14

has been named in a new lawsuit. This is an ex

15:16

employee who's filed this. They're

15:19

saying that he discriminated against the black

15:21

men and women on his team. According

15:23

to court documents, they

15:25

said a former security guard, Benjamin Deshaun

15:27

Provo actually suffered severe emotional

15:30

distress. He is from Donda Academy

15:33

and according to this lawsuit, Kanye

15:35

and members of his management team subjected Provo

15:37

and other black employees to less favorable

15:39

treatment than their white counterparts. Specifically,

15:42

Kanye frequently screamed at and berated

15:45

black employees, while in contrast, he

15:47

never so much as raised his tone of voice

15:50

toward white staff.

15:51

What do you think about this, Dan for

15:54

now?

15:54

He says.

15:55

She say, yeah, it's it's just something

15:57

that can be proven, because you'll need other people

15:59

to come forward and say that this is true.

16:00

I don't know if that they would have this in video.

16:02

I was just going to say if the accusers filmed it now.

16:05

He also says that Kanye forced him to cut

16:07

his hair, and that he

16:09

would ban books from prominent black leaders,

16:11

including Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Junior.

16:15

Wow, that's crazy.

16:16

That sounds absolutely ridiculous.

16:18

He said he would ridicule his black employees

16:20

for wearing locks, even though Probo mentioned he did

16:22

so because it was part of his Muslim faith.

16:25

All right, So we'll see what happens with this

16:27

lawsuit. In that same lawsuit,

16:30

they alleged that Kanye attempted to install a

16:32

jail at his school to cage students and

16:34

gave preferential treatment to white

16:36

employees, and even threatened to punch him during

16:39

what he referred to as a temper tantrum.

16:42

Can I just say something about the easy March? You know how

16:44

he was giving it or not giving it, but selling it for

16:46

twenty dollars everything. I got all of

16:48

it, and not a single piece of clothing

16:51

fits.

16:51

I saw people that were getting that clothes. They

16:53

were huge.

16:54

The shoes are massive. The

16:57

shirt is like actually small,

16:59

and I got it to be oversized.

17:00

I saw people complaining when they got it. Who

17:03

was it was?

17:04

Kai also got some and it was like ridiculous,

17:06

and they don't even so basically they're just unloading

17:09

stuff.

17:09

So they only have like three sizes. It's like size

17:11

one, two, and three, and then size one is like

17:13

for they're all for like wide ranges

17:16

of sizes. So like the shoes that I got, I got a size

17:18

two, but it's for sizes that range between

17:20

like nine and twelve and I'm

17:22

a size ten and they fit like in eleven

17:24

and a half twelve, and they that's nice size.

17:27

You can have them all right.

17:28

Shannon Chad Oto Senko on

17:30

their podcast, We're talking about dating

17:33

women with children and Oto

17:35

Sinko says this is a must for him.

17:37

Here's what he said, I ain't dating you unless

17:39

you got kids, because women with kids

17:41

have structure, they have discipline.

17:43

You know.

17:43

Women that don't have kids, they never have

17:46

snacks in the pantry, And women that don't have kids

17:48

don't never have no food on.

17:50

You know what.

17:50

They always want to do goad meat and give looks

17:52

like it's a goddamn fashion show.

17:55

You guys in the room. There's two guys in here with me.

17:57

Do y'all only date women with kids?

18:00

Engaged? Now?

18:00

Ye'hre engaged? Yeah? And she doesn't have any kids?

18:03

All right? Well, listen, I don't know how too that is.

18:05

I don't have any kids.

18:06

I know a lot of my friends prefer well,

18:08

you know what, it's a preference if you have kids. People

18:11

with kids do tend to like to date other

18:13

people with kids. I will say that because

18:16

you know, then you can see what type of father or

18:18

mother that person is. But hey,

18:20

look, if that's his preference, go for it. And I

18:22

believe he's in a relationship already,

18:24

So there you have it, all right. Wendy Williams

18:27

ex Kevin Hunter is accusing her guardian

18:29

of stealing her money, and he

18:31

said, I'm not just concerned about the money she's

18:33

coming and swooped in and depleted the account.

18:36

In that time, this has become a real

18:38

travesty.

18:38

So the judge has

18:41

ruled that they have to hand over the financial

18:43

documents and that any further issue should

18:45

be hashed out in arbitration. According

18:47

to the judge, it's very difficult, you

18:50

know. They want to make sure that all this information is

18:52

coming out right now. So the guardian Sabrina

18:54

Morrissey, won't disclose these financial

18:56

statements because he says she's been skimming off

18:59

the top. But she's got to be more transparent about

19:01

what's going on there. So we'll see what ends up happening

19:03

in court. This is awful for Wendy

19:06

at the end of the day, all this money that she works so

19:08

hard to make and now she

19:10

doesn't have control over any of it and people are

19:12

fighting over her money in court.

19:15

Well, that is your yet and when we come back, we have

19:17

under the radar. These are the stories that are not necessarily

19:20

in the headlines. They are flying under

19:22

the radar. One of them has to do with the show

19:24

Baby Reindeer that's on Netflix. People

19:26

were so mad at me for making them watch this, but they were

19:28

so in love with that show.

19:29

All right, it's way up. Under the radar is next the

19:32

news news.

19:33

This in the news that relates to you. These

19:36

stories are flying under the radar, all

19:38

right.

19:39

His way up with Angela Yea. I'm Angela Yea.

19:41

And it's time for under the radar for you guys

19:43

who know I've been watching. Well, I did watch

19:45

Baby Reindeer. I kind of binge watched the whole

19:47

thing on Netflix in two days. And

19:50

the woman, because this is a true story, who

19:52

he was talking about in

19:54

here, actually now has come

19:57

forward to say that she is the victim

19:59

because he he's written a show about her, and

20:02

she said, I'm being bullied for fame.

20:04

And now she's telling her side of the story.

20:07

And this all started on Netflix and both

20:10

Navy who is our board up? And Dan, you guys both

20:12

watch Baby Reindeer?

20:13

Right, I actually did it.

20:15

I know

20:16

you're all right. Well,

20:18

it's been viewed more than thirteen million times

20:20

when this article was written, and I'm sure a lot

20:22

more by then. And he said he got over

20:24

forty one thousand emails, seven hundred and forty

20:26

four tweets and letters, totally one hundred and

20:28

six pages three hundred and fifty hours

20:30

of voicemail messages from her. He called her Martha

20:33

in the show, but according to The Daily

20:35

Mail, they were pretty much able to find out

20:37

who she was based off of

20:40

the fact that she is a lawyer, was a lawyer

20:42

and also had a background in

20:44

stalking and had gotten in trouble for that

20:46

before. And she also

20:50

he said he protected her identity by changing

20:52

some of the key details. But both the women

20:54

are Scottish, both study law at university, both

20:56

are around twenty years older than him, and they

20:58

both used highly sexual eyes language

21:00

in their speech and writing. So now

21:02

she's saying that she is the person that is

21:04

being stalked, and that she said,

21:07

I've never owned a toy

21:09

baby reindeer, and I wouldn't have had any connection

21:12

with Richard gadd about a childhood toy either,

21:14

And so the woman they said in real

21:16

life actually looks like the woman who plays her character

21:19

on the show.

21:20

So I don't know if this is going to make

21:22

you want to watch this yet.

21:23

I just don't want to put that energy into my life. What energy

21:27

crazy stalker shows,

21:29

I don't.

21:29

Know all right. Well, I will

21:31

say this article made me feel

21:33

like he wasn't lying, just based off of the things

21:36

that she said in here. But yeah,

21:39

you gotta watch it though, because I feel like the reason

21:41

why I feel like he couldn't be lying is because there's

21:43

things he told about himself that

21:46

a person probably wouldn't want anybody

21:48

to know. All right, and this story is near and dear

21:50

to my heart and to all you coffee drinkers out there. According

21:52

to Forbes, the cost of coffee is

21:54

set to skyrocket, So get ready to

21:57

pay a little bit more.

21:57

For your coffee.

21:58

Hasn't already? Yeah?

22:00

Hasay?

22:01

Cag you notice, and you know that's hard too when you go to

22:03

your coffee shop. And because I know, because I own one,

22:05

shout out to coffee uplifts people. But

22:08

it's hard for people to understand why that's happening.

22:10

But they're saying that it's going to be all time highs

22:13

over the next crop cycle, and you're going

22:15

to pay more than ever for a cappuccino or

22:17

a latte. They said, more than it's been in twenty

22:19

years. So just get ready

22:22

for that to happen. Global consumption

22:24

is up and uh yeah,

22:27

so that's what the problems.

22:28

Are like seven eight bucks in the city hurts.

22:31

Thank goodness, you make yours at home.

22:33

What's your delongi machine and your coffee

22:35

uplifts people?

22:36

All right, well that is you're under the radar now.

22:38

You know.

22:38

We got the Way Up mixed at the top of the hour. Plus,

22:41

we have an artist who I absolutely love. He

22:43

is from Jamaica, Romaine and Virgo the gentle

22:45

Man. He has a project that's out right now,

22:48

but he's also got a great YouTube series, so

22:50

make sure you follow that.

22:51

It's way up way It's

22:53

like.

22:53

The tout like they angelij like they

22:55

Angeli jee man.

22:57

She's spilling it all. This is yeaty

23:00

way off.

23:03

What's up his way up with Angela Yee.

23:04

I'm Angela Yee And it is a Monday

23:06

time for some yeete and the tea is hot.

23:09

Dan, did you know that TMZ was doing a documentary.

23:11

About the trailers?

23:13

Yeah, well see the trailers.

23:14

It's on to B and it's out right now,

23:17

The Downfall of Ditty and on.

23:19

There is Rbury O'Day.

23:20

You know her from Danny Kane and she's always been really

23:22

vocal about her issues with puff as

23:24

she would call him, and here's what she had to say

23:27

about him trying to buy her silence.

23:29

I received the publishing deal.

23:30

I know how much money it was, giving me three hundred

23:33

dollars and thirty cents for

23:35

a full release of all claims against

23:37

Didty and many other players.

23:39

I think you would probably be.

23:41

Making moves to keep as many people

23:44

quiet as possible.

23:45

All right.

23:46

In addition to that, Mark Curry, who was

23:48

at one point signed to bad Boy,

23:51

he wrote a book also called Dancing with

23:53

the Devil back in two thousand and nine about

23:56

Diddy. Well, he's on the documentary and here's

23:58

what he had to say about witnessing some things

24:01

in reference to Kim Porter.

24:02

I didn't see him get physical with Kim, but

24:05

I know situations where,

24:07

let's say, if Kim says

24:09

she fell on the boat and broke her nose, and

24:12

I say, that's not actually what happened.

24:14

I think her and Puff went to home together,

24:16

and then next day, you know, she had the mandate

24:19

on, and so you already know what happened.

24:21

So she didn't you say she's slipping, she fell.

24:23

No, I don't think that, because they was just arguing

24:25

real big last night.

24:27

Mark Lami Hill is also on

24:29

here, and he's giving some type of

24:31

framework as to what's going on.

24:33

Why so many people have difficulty coming

24:35

out and speaking about somebody with the

24:37

power that did he had?

24:38

Because did he knew everybody? Here's what he had to

24:40

say.

24:41

Diddy is a powerful person.

24:43

You don't get to be a billionaire without

24:45

being powerful and without being connected to

24:47

powerful people. Did he knows politicians,

24:50

entertainers, philanthropists, academics.

24:53

If we start unraveling the thread of Diddy's

24:56

networks, you're going to find a lot of people,

24:58

and like Jeffrey Epstein, some of them might be implicated.

25:01

All right, Well, that full entire

25:03

documentary is now on to

25:06

b if you guys want to check that out. There's

25:08

a lot of information, a lot of old footage.

25:11

You know.

25:11

Cassie is also a referenced on there,

25:14

and of course Harvey from TMZ is

25:16

narrating a lot of this.

25:17

That's a lot to unpack here. What do you think about all this?

25:20

Man? I think that too soon?

25:23

Well, you know what, it's the downfall of Diddy, and it's

25:25

definitely a downfall. It's not saying he's guilty

25:27

of anything, but he has definitely

25:29

lost a lot of his luster right now,

25:32

and it's something that's going to be really hard to bounce back

25:34

from. And I think the catalyst, like they said, for

25:36

all of this, was Cassie with

25:38

that lawsuit that you.

25:40

Know he ended up settling.

25:41

And you know, on Ditty's behalf, he's right now

25:43

arguing that some charges in the sexual assault lawsuit

25:46

should be dismissed. And

25:48

that's the lawsuit brought by Joy Dickerson

25:50

Neil. The motion was about Friday, April

25:52

twenty six, and he's

25:54

claiming that he cannot be sued for breaking

25:57

laws that didn't exist at the time.

26:00

Said at the time of the alleged attack on Dickerson

26:02

Neale in nineteen ninety one, some statutes that she cites

26:04

in her suit, including those around revenge

26:06

porn and human trafficking, weren't yet on the books,

26:09

so he wants it thrown out on that technicality.

26:12

So we'll see what ends up happening.

26:14

And he did also deny the allegations through

26:16

his spokesperson as well, saying

26:18

the story is made up and not credible and

26:20

that he never assaulted her and that she implicates

26:22

companies that did not exist and it's purely a

26:25

money grab and nothing more. And

26:27

you know, and when you watch the documentary, they talk about

26:29

little Rod, the producer who's also accusing

26:32

Puff of sexual harassment and drugging and threatening

26:34

him and his attorneys. So

26:36

they talk about why some things may seem

26:39

sketchy, you know as well.

26:40

So it does give a full picture.

26:43

All right, well that is your yet and when we

26:45

come back, we have ask a yee eight hundred and two ninety

26:47

27:06

In today's caller wants to remain anonymous.

27:09

What's up, anonymous caller? What's your question?

27:11

Okay, So recently

27:13

my friend had first in the issue

27:15

with me about us my girlfriends.

27:18

So I ended up finding

27:20

this girl, so you know, we have

27:22

been kicking it with her. So but

27:25

then I also have sleeping

27:27

with his sister behind his back, but he

27:29

don't know.

27:30

Wait wait anit?

27:30

Wait?

27:31

So down, so down?

27:31

So you started kicking it with another girl, yes,

27:35

but then you also started kicking it with his sister.

27:37

I do, and I know I feel that. Okay,

27:41

I found doubt that my girlfriend

27:43

has been sleeping with his sister. And it's

27:46

just like, how do I say something without telling

27:48

on myself?

27:49

So your boyfriend is cool with you having a girlfriend,

27:52

correct, but then your girlfriend is sleeping

27:54

with his sister. So your girlfriend

27:56

is cheating on you? Or is she allowed to do

27:58

what she wants?

27:59

I mean, no, she We're supposed to be all

28:01

in a relationship.

28:03

Okay, so it's the three of you guys, but

28:05

the girl is cheating. Now what does she say when

28:07

your girl? What does your girlfriend say when you ask her

28:09

what's up? When you found out that she was cheating on you?

28:11

Guys?

28:12

I have not a friend?

28:15

Why not?

28:16

Because then I feel like the sister is

28:19

we've been doing this, well, so.

28:21

How do you know about it? You know about it from the sister?

28:24

No?

28:24

I girlfriends soone?

28:26

Okay?

28:27

You know the thing is, once your relationships

28:29

is open up like that, it does make it

28:31

a lot easier for people to feel like it's okay to step

28:33

out. Yeah, so let

28:35

me ask you this, what are you gonna do? Are you planning

28:38

to still stay with this girl? Or are you'all

28:40

gonna cut her off?

28:41

Like?

28:41

What's the plan?

28:42

Because I think also you have to know what

28:44

your expectation is.

28:45

That is a lot.

28:46

She's sleeping with you, with your boyfriend

28:48

with his sister. That's super

28:50

messy.

28:51

It's very messy. Yeah, I like,

28:54

so I'm looking her up, but I'm going

28:56

to have to tell her by and then

28:58

I feel like, Sam, it's going to come out.

29:00

But I just feel like

29:02

y'all can't continue this, So you might

29:05

as well be honest and put everything on the table.

29:08

A.

29:08

Well, I'm gonna lay it out to that.

29:10

Who should you tell first? The girlfriend

29:12

or your boyfriend?

29:14

I think probably him, so he'd be aware

29:17

of what's going on and not be.

29:18

Fine by Right, he's the more

29:20

important person to you, right, Yeah,

29:23

So you and your boyfriend should discuss this and

29:26

know what you're gonna do moving forward and know what the plan

29:28

is and then let her know.

29:30

Look, we got to find a new girlfriend.

29:33

I don't think we need to bring nobody up and sear

29:35

life.

29:38

Like we tried it. It didn't work.

29:40

Yeah, but yeah, you know what you have to do that

29:42

she's got to go now it's gonna be a

29:44

monogamous relationship.

29:45

You think he'd be cool with that.

29:47

At this point, I think we should go too.

29:50

If that's how you feel in you know

29:52

what to do.

29:53

You kind of lay down the groundwork for this

29:55

to be a bit messy.

29:57

So sometimes it's hard to go back. But you

29:59

know, if you don't, I want to.

30:00

Be with him.

30:01

You tried it, you did it and dabbled. It didn't work

30:03

out. Absolutely all

30:05

right, says good luck? Oh sorry, not says

30:07

okay, all

30:10

right.

30:10

Good luck. And that was ask ye

30:13

eight hundred two fifty.

30:15

Just in case you couldn't get through, you can always

30:17

leave a message and we'll answer your question that way

30:19

and when we come back. This guy is in a

30:21

committed relationship with his wife. Romaine

30:23

Berger was going to be joining us.

30:24

It's way up.

30:27

You want to know my name?

30:29

Way up with Angela y Turn me on.

30:33

What's up?

30:33

It's way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela

30:35

Yee. And Romain Virgo is here in the

30:37

flesh. Yes, First of all, I've

30:39

been watching your vlog, so hopefully this is

30:42

all I'm gonna make it onto the blog.

30:44

Oh no, right, I want to make it onto one of the blogs.

30:47

Yeah, of course.

30:49

And the new project came out of a couple of months ago.

30:51

The Gentleman and people

30:53

listen to your music and it is definitely like

30:56

this song.

30:56

I could play this at my wedding or you know.

30:58

It's nice because now we get to see

31:00

for the past couple of years what life is really

31:03

like, you know, for you at home.

31:05

Do you feel like people.

31:06

Having that access to you also helped you be able

31:08

to open up even more in your music.

31:11

Yeah, so, you know, because you

31:13

can't be anything outside

31:15

of real.

31:16

Even start enough the album with the song like been

31:19

there Before and you talk about how the darkest

31:21

part of the night is just before daylight, and

31:24

so you know, people may not know what

31:26

life was like before for you, even when you

31:28

were first trying to make it.

31:29

Yeah, because I mean a lot of you probably

31:31

doesn't remember Romin and Virgo entering a competition,

31:34

winning a million, get

31:36

a young teenager and then that's

31:38

it. But there's so much more to my

31:40

life, you know, And on that record, I was

31:42

trying to go deep. The

31:45

industry sometimes allows us to feel

31:47

like we have to show this side of us that we have to

31:49

be so, especially as men, make

31:51

a feel like you have to be tougher. You can't talk about the

31:53

story because they're going to say yourself and

31:56

and so over time tapping to

31:58

myself and realizing that the more you open

32:01

up is the more you're helping somebody out there too.

32:03

Right now we're talking to VP Records artists

32:05

Romaine Virgo. He has the gentleman

32:08

out right now. He's also on tour. What

32:10

was life like before that? Before people think,

32:12

oh, he won this competition and got this money, and

32:14

he's been on ever since.

32:15

I was poor and I didn't know that. I was like

32:18

grow poor. I didn't know it was like four

32:20

of us sleeping in one bed. And

32:22

you'll get to realize that growing up

32:25

was rough in a because that

32:27

struct that a family is struct at a community.

32:30

You know the people around who you used

32:32

to just make the more sort of little

32:35

No matter what you have, he does live

32:37

and does laugh and love just

32:39

to see him and doing it. The little that

32:41

you have no distract you or make you

32:43

feel like, hey, I am not worth it.

32:46

Romaine Virgo is here.

32:47

His album The Gentleman is out right now,

32:49

and when we come back, we'll be talking about

32:52

fatherhood. You know, he does have twin

32:54

girls and he has a YouTube channel

32:56

where you get to see his whole family.

32:57

It's beautiful.

32:59

But we'll discuss what in his background has

33:01

grooms going to be the man who he is today. It's way

33:03

up more with Romaine Virgo when we come back. What's

33:06

up his way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela

33:08

Yee and right now we are talking to VP

33:10

Records artists Romaine Virgo.

33:12

He's from Jamaica and even though he's

33:15

only thirty four years old, he's been doing

33:17

this music for almost two decades.

33:19

You know, I think that in the society

33:21

where it's been really popularized

33:24

to be a womanizer, and

33:27

you have been the opposite of that.

33:29

I grew up in a family where the father figured

33:31

that I would want to be our own wasn't there, and

33:34

so my goal was always

33:36

to be you know what, I'm trying to be known.

33:39

I'm not talking as if I'm perfect or

33:42

I'm doing it, you know what. It's

33:44

You've always been a goal to

33:46

you know, be this kind of man. I never

33:49

ever want my kids to

33:51

be growing up, you know, not being our own

33:53

both mother and father. I

33:55

just always wanted to create that

33:57

that's peace for them to feel see if they can

34:00

and share anything that they're going through

34:02

in life. And you know, so I'm

34:05

just I always see myself in that light and I

34:07

try my best. You know, I grew up

34:09

knowing a stepfather who was like such

34:11

a real man, God

34:14

bless you. So they passed away last

34:16

June. Okay, yeah, so that

34:18

was a sad time for us. But he was one

34:21

that I look at and say, hey,

34:23

I want to be like this man.

34:25

Right now, we're talking to BP Records artist

34:27

Romaine Bergo. He has the gentleman

34:30

out right now. He's also on tour. Where

34:32

was your biological valor?

34:34

He's he's alive, you

34:36

know, and I know him.

34:38

We talk a lot too nowadays,

34:41

But like I don't make the past

34:43

determine how I even treat

34:46

my father.

34:47

Did you ever have a because sometimes people don't even have that

34:49

conversation like you know you was.

34:51

We have it every time every time we talk, like

34:53

he would there.

34:55

I don't know what to call itge if it's feeling

34:57

a bit guilty of him just

35:00

just wanting me to understand why

35:02

things didn't work the way it And

35:05

I'm like every time, I'm like, you know, I do understand.

35:07

Know.

35:07

We have to just get past that because we can't be dwelling

35:10

on something that we can't change

35:12

anymore.

35:13

You're like, look it worked out, I'm successful,

35:15

I'm happy, I'm the man that I want

35:17

to be.

35:18

Yeah.

35:18

So it's always as people just don't

35:20

know better when they're in the midst of a situation,

35:23

you know, and like you said, you can't go back and

35:25

change things. But we have to understand

35:27

our parents are like human beings also

35:30

with a lot of flaws.

35:31

Exactly, and we don't know the things that

35:34

our parents parents went true why

35:37

our parents, you know, maybe end

35:39

up in the situation that they were,

35:41

you know, And that is all I look at it like, I'm

35:43

not the want to just jump and say, you

35:45

know, I didn't grow up around my father, so I'm not gonna

35:47

deal with him. I try to understand

35:50

where everything is kind of coming from.

35:53

So with my generation, I want to stop.

35:55

That right Well, rom vergo, thank

35:57

35:59
