LP Philadelphia one on six point five f when we talked weekly after they talk with your boy Charles Gregory and beautiful Lauren Cicil. We are in the building, so you already know what's coming up next, right, Yes, sir, we gott this get to me all right? So we talk Weekly is on all social media platforms from Instagram to Facebook to Twitter, on YouTube, our podcast platforms and all that good stuff. So make sure you guys like, follow, and subscribe and share if you care, all right. So, uh, singer and icon Diana Ross sang the lyrics reach out in touch somebody's and make this world a better place if you can. We all remember that, right right right? So Britney Spears apparently tried to reach out and touch San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wim bam Yanna. I was practicing this when Banyanna, but her attempts to make his world a better place by congratulating him on his success on being the number one overall picking the twenty twenty three NBA JAFT Draft ended in her being touched. So when Brittany saw WM Banyanna at the Area Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, after seeing him at another hotel earlier that day Brittany. As Brittany explained, she decided to approach him and congratulate him on his success. So video surface showing Britney appearing to run up behind when Banyanna and reach out to tap him. So Brittany said, his security then backanded me in the face without looking back, in front of a crowd, nearly knocking me down and causing my glasses to fall off my face. So whm Banyanna told his his account of the story, and then he was basically stating that his security a first, you know, And as they were going in, I guess they had the conversation that security instructed him to not stop for anyone to avoid a crowd gathering, because of course, you know, if he stops to greet somebody take pictures and autographs, a crowd is going to form. So he's saying that they gave him the instructions not to do that. So when Bangyana was he said he was walking when he heard someone walking behind him shouting sir sir, and felt someone grab him from behind, so he kept walking and unbeknownst to him, the person shouting and grabbing him was none other than Britney Spears, so he had learned about this whole ordeal hours later because as that little thing played out, he just kept on walking and I guesspparently he was following instructions. But Brittany found the police report citing battery and an investigation was conducted. A closer look at the video showed that when Brittany reached out to grab when Manyana, when Manyama security simultaneously slapped her hand away, causing her to hit herself in the face, knocking her own glasses off. So therefore there will be no charges filed. Brittany just wanted a public apology after all this that happened and the embarrassment of course, because this video was out and so many millions and millions of people have seen the video. But unfortunately she may have to settle for finding her own type of closure because I don't know if an apology is coming. Yeah, I mean, I guess if it was her security, she would understand when people try to reach out and touch her and they kind of backhand or move somebody away. They didn't know that was Britney Spears. I mean, she shouldn't have tried to touch somebody that she understands the scope of being a star, and you shouldn't be touching the star when celebrities are there. He wasn't even looking. Nobody was looking at her. I've seen the picture. I put this picture back up. No one was even looking at her. She reached out and you can see she's behind him. She he didn't know what was going on, and I'm sure the security didn't either. So because and she did say that, didn't even bother to turn around and look all they saw. All that security guard, the security guy saw was a hand coming for so he does. Yes, why would she do that? She didn't even like to see Yeller's name or anything. She just went that's kind of creepy though, right if a god was to do that. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Yeah. I just I kind of feel a little bit bad for her because she's she a little salty right now. I like Brittany. I like Brittany though, and it's like Brittany is because she's in that little area where she's like pop iconish. So for her to have to go through this and just like brush it off, no apology, You're not gonna say anything. You're not gonna acknowledge that and you're just gonna keep it moving day. Feel bad for her, but hopefully she gets some sort of apology, so you have some closure and apolo. I mean, they could apologize. I guess it ain't gonna kill. But that's not their fault to be apologizing. Yeah, yeah, I get it right. And sometimes security security can get aggressive when it comes to this pretty much too much just because but yeah, keep yourself, Yeah, keep your hands to yourself. That someone can say that could be a cause. Whatever happened to the six feet that people was complaining about during code give me my six feet, give me my six feet. Nobody's doing that anymore. They don't even talk about that, all right. So actress Keiki Palmer, she attended Usher's My Way Las Vegas residency at Dobe Live at Park MGM. While in the audience, Kiki was serenaded by Usher. She well video surface of Kiki in a black thong body suit with a black sheer dressed over it. Uh. In the video, you could see Usher grabbed her and he comes over. He grabbed it and this is something that Usher does like at his shows. So Usher grabbed her and sang, there goes my baby and as he's swaying with her in her arms, Kiki also sang a little piece of uh the lyrics and this video footage just swept all through social media and it caught the eye of Kei Ki's boyfriend, Darius Jackson and the father of her newborn son, le Otis, who is four months old almost five months. R and B Radar tweeted the video along with the caption Usher serenades Keiki Palmer Well. Darius responded to the clip saying it's the outfit though you are mom. So the internet was swift with this backlash to Darius after mom and mom shaming keykick. So one one tweeter said, so, she's a new mom and she looks so great and it's having a great time and not even doing too much. Instead of being dope and gassing new mom and having fun, you choose to try and check her with a gossip blog quote in front of the world. Why did you feel compelled to do such a thing? So Darius tweeted back, writing, well, we live in it. We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn't want the wife and mother of his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others, and he gets told how much of a hater he is. This is my family and my representation. I have standards and morals to what I believe. I rest my case. So another tweeter wrote, so the dress, the dress Kiki Palmer had on is an issue because she's a mother, But Darius Dalton posted the clapper's in motion I guess the butt cheeks clapping. He posted the clappers in motion post baby in April for the whole world to see. Let's be real, the issue ain't the dress. It was Usher being that close to her lol, and he needs to just say that. So after the floods of attacks for mom, shame and Keith he came in, Darius deleted his Twitter account and he later reactivated. But many fans and celebs have come to the social media rescue of Kiki, including Usher himself, who tweeted the big Boss thank you for coming. Uh. Keiki and Darius unfollow each other. This is getting really really messy. They unfollow each other on social media. Keiki's subtle clap back to Darius was through an IG post, which included a video of her holding her son and seeing in the rendition of Stevie Wonder's song Isn't She Lovely? But she put her own little twists on it and said, isn't he lovely? Because he's the boy. But Keiki wrote the caption, one thing is certain and one thing is true. I'm a mother through and through. I'm a mother and Stevie to the bull ish. So shirts are available now and she has the link in the bio because you know, created shirts of those two little phrases. But then she also wrote to all my moms out there, how did your baby change you? And she said mine empowered me on such a level. My perspective change because when I'm when my baby is good, I'm great. So my little opinion was, you know, to her questions like, yeah, my my son changed me. I knew I wanted to be able to provide him with a good life. So I had went back to school and finished my undergrad s studies. But to each his own, and I would never try to knock anybody because I don't have I you know, I can't walk a mile in nobody else's shoes, and I might not be able to handle what walking in someone else's shoes is, like whatever that is. But like I kind of was trying to look on both sides, like I can understand how Darius feels, but my thing is, bro, why did you try to play her on Twitter? And you got played? He should have kept that whole conversation private, Like that's like now he's he's he's coming at people's next, you know, talking about her. You know, no, now people are coming at his next. I'm at his neck talking about He's the bread, She's the bread wind Winter and he's just mad because it was usher. Are they still together? I think they kind of broken up. I think they kind of broken because of this. What this is a stupid reason to break up exactly exactly. But now we got like a lot of celebrity women out here who are where they're like wearing the similar outfits that Keiky had on, you know, case and point. Singer Sierra once she went to the Oscars after party with that dress on, and everybody was like, how Mile Russell Wilson let her come out of the house. She was on his arm, they was, they was on him, yes, like how come he didn't? Why I wouldn't let my wife come out like that? And then Darius, you try to come at her for what she had on he getting dragged that. Those are two different situations. So like Sierra was with her husband there you you mad because she looked like that, you wasn't with her. Please understand how men operating, how their brains work. You see what I'm saying. Yes, like it's a difference. Yes, I had this red dress right that my fiancee claimed he didn't like. Okay, problem is I found out later he just didn't like it because I would when out without him. I went out in that dressed without him, but when I read with him, he loved it. Yeah. Oh you know it's just because you had it on you. I said, Oh, so the truth comes out. Yes, So it's either the outfit and he was. So in this situation she got on that off and and usher is on her and some you mad and your manhood is threat and then you all you letting all your insecurity shows out. What do you think? See? I mean, I mean I feel I feel like it was kind of coranty for him to go and like posting. Yeah, I mean, first of all, I'm too proud of to be doing that anyway, I ain't nobody getting But what I will say is I think he had a right to be feel some type of way. I mean that it's nothing, I guess if we have to keep all this in context. Right, So if I have a fiance and she's out with pretty much I mean literally she just had like a sheer dress on period, like you can see you can see the cheeks see a lot, right, I think I would be mad, like, Yo, what are you doing? Why are you on stage? Like yo, what are you doing? Like yo, you you represent me out there? Right? But for him to be all he could have did that when she got home though, like yoh that was on corn. She could have did the post, you know, like, yeah, my baby was upset at me. I shouldn't have did that or whatever. Right, But for them to go back and forth, that was a little corner. That was just a little much for me. But I guess what really triggered me a little bit was hearing the responses from all the women talking about, oh, no, she can do that and they not married, and yeah, y'all, now y'all doing too much'll y'all doing way too much? He ain't married. How you know she even wanted to be married? They ain't even think of that. Maybe she didn't want to be married, right, or if the shoes was on the other foot, it wouldn't be the conversation of oh, they not married, it would be no, you're still with that person, so he can't do X, Y and Z. So it's a little just kind of this a double standard there. But I don't know. I just to me, I always said, there's rich people problems, so I just let them do that. I let them be great and keep it moving. Yeah. Absolutely. I just kind of wonder what Usher thinks. He probably passed it already, Well, does he feel responsible or like I think Usher like that's part of his show. He does that on every show like it. I don't think. I don't think he feel responsible. I just think he like, oh, they'll get over it. There's something because remember you talk about a gentleman who was trending not too long ago about you know, something that he's supposed to be had right allegedly had but you know, to just waiting for somebody to say that. Nah. But to that point, because I don't want to, I don't want to talk about that, But to that point, he probably get. He probably gets social media and it's probably lightweight down. He probably like that I'll get over that. In a couple of days, something else happened in social media and they forget about it, because totally the whole thing with Britney spears that once you said that, I totally forgot about what. So something else to come up and people will forget about that and keep it moving. I think it doesn't do any justice for I think Kiki is keeping it going. She could have just left it alone. She's keeping it going and bringing a baby on there. And see, I mean she and she got a good voice pot player. Yeah, she closed up like I like to see. I'm a Kiky fan, so she can't really do any wrong for me. But I mean that was kind of corny too, So all you did was you was corny too. Now y'all both corny, right right? And and you know, because I know our young black men need their dads, I don't want to see them break up over something like this. And then you know, Kiki is like she's in character twenty four to seven. She's probably in character in her sleep, so I know she was probably like in character when she was there, and like cause you could see she was just so excited, and you know that that probably was his character, you know. But in anyway, hopefully they could work that out because I hate to see them break up. She's an Usher fan too, because she was excited to even be at the concert. I see some posts and stuff. I think some stuff she supposed to be for the show, Like you know, she was like fanning like I don't won't see acting, and I think that but that was the problem I think she was. She she did too much on stage too. It's one thing to be a fan and you don't have nothing on and then you just like, hey, I'm an Usher. But when you wooing and he's there and he's like, oh my god, as a guy, you looking at that, like yo, how you all acting all extra like it's way too much like you you making me look like like you ain't never supposed to make me look like a nut, like you making me look like a nut. Like I can go up there and do what I want. My hugby and or my fiance or whatever it is. He ain't even want to know. You need to be like she could have did something like no, I got my gott did something like this. I mean, she a character. She knows how to play that, and so for me. It's just like, I know full fact that a lot there's a lot of women that wouldn't did that or dress like that up there with sure like everybody everyone loved Usher want to be sunk to. But that was a little much. Yeah, And I was also thinking too, like was that a part of the thing, because how did he know she was going to be there? They had to let him know that she was there or she probably like key too, she probably went she probably can walked to the back of Stag from here and probably come on to say, yeah, like that's what they feel like. It's a few people that you know that I know, like yo, they'll be like, oh my god, my god, come up on like him, right, you know what I mean? Right? And then one last thing what was so funny was that on Twitter there's like old videos of him serenading other women, and then they were like they showed him doing Destiny's Child, and I think Beyonce was just like sitting and looking and watching but not moving. They was like Darius wanted Kiki to be like, that's like Beyonce was when he said Dusty's Child. That was so funny. All right, So moving right, A law the celebrity Sizzle. A War of the Week goes to NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley as the Supreme As the Supreme Court made this made the decision to strike down affirmative action to remove the consideration of racing the college admissions process. NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley made the decision to amend his will and leave five million to black students at Auburn University. Barkley said in my will, I am leaving Auburn five million. I'm going to change it to be just for scholarships for black students. That's just my way of trying to make sure Auburn, Auburn stays diverse. It's just for me, the right thing to do, he said. I always want to make sure that Auburn is diverse. And according to reports the university's data, black student enrollment fell slightly from fifty three five point three percent in twenty twenty to four point nine to one percent in the fall twenty twenty two. So I think that's a lot of people's concerns when it comes to this affirmative action decision by the Supreme Court. As you know, students are going to trying to get in some of these prestigious colleges such as Harvard, that it's going to be less and less diverse. So kudos to Charles Barkley for his efforts to continue to make sure that Auburn University is diverse and see some people of colored there. Yeah. Absolutely, hopefully Michael Jordan could do the same type of things, you know when hopefully it sets a trade. Absolutely, I know, you know Lebron James always doing something. But and Kyrie Irving, khudos to Kyrie, and he does a lot too. So I just want to make sure that we understand that there's an issue here and I think that I honestly think we've been and I'm being transparent here, right, We've been fighting for a seat at the table for a long time Black folks, There's no question about that. There has just been a legislation out right that you'll already know what's going on with this affirm inveaction thing. If you know that we've been fighting for a long time to get a seat on the table. Now things have been rolled back, why what don't you start to understand and create different issues, create different programs initiatives to make sure that now, Oh, we're going to make sure that we have a seat at the table. And so we have to start thinking progressively, uh, and what looking at what the future is like, and start to build these strategies based around that to support our people. There's no question now, that's the only way we're gonna fix it. Stop thinking about the inclusion piece with them, because that's not what they're thinking about with you. So we have to start building these blocks for us now and start thinking of how we're going to protect ourselves. How are we going to protect the people. That's the only way we're going to do is start thinking about our own community. That's not to say that we can't always extend a hand, but right now we have to build for us or it's not going to be anything left. It's not going to be anything left. Absolutely absolutely, Yeah, I'm your girl Lauren Sizzle and that was a sizzle she girl law and cizzl and I'm your boy Charles Gregoran and building got classy lady is it here? We got a lady? Yes? Stop and looks like we got about two minutes left dynamic. Sure, two great interviews. You know, we're always talking about what the solutions are you know, how we can remedy what these issues are, how we can fix the problems right. If we don't think in solutions, we're going to run in place with what these problems are and argue about them. It's okay to have uncomfortable conversations because that's the only way we're going to push the needle forward. If we do not do that, we're going to run in place and argue about why we are here and having these issues. I'm actually tired of having these arguments about who's holding us back and while we're having these issues in place and blame on everybody but us. I don't think we take enough accountability with you know, being responsible for helping others, because we have to do that, especially to people who look like us. We have to start to take accountability for that. And we have to also hold the people who we know are the gatekeepers holding their feet to the fire right and be unapologetic about it and let them know like nah, come on, come on, blood, like this is this is us. We gotta make sure that X, Y and Z is there. We have to kill our egos, kill our pride, and make sure that we can support each other. But there you go, I mean boy, Charles Gray with the beautiful Lawrence thiszle and the beautiful lady this is. We talked weekly after talking to help Pete Philadelphia, one O six point five of them. We talked weekly after the talk and we all here, y'all pea peace. That's
