In this episode, we take a closer look at the controversy surrounding the Trump Administration's removal of slavery exhibits at the President’s House in Philadelphia — a decision that has sparked legal battles, public backlash, and concerns about the erasure of American history. After President Donald Trump signed executive orders, Federal officials removed exhibits detailing the realities of slavery, and while a judge ordered restoration, parts of that effort have now been halted, raising serious questions about how history is being told. Plus, new developments in entertainment and celebrity news:
- Pop icon Britney Spears is facing headlines following reports of a DUI arrest, adding to ongoing concerns about her personal and legal challenges.
- Hip-hop legend Lauryn Hill is back in the spotlight amid conversations about her place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
- Music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs is making news again as updates emerge about his prison release timeline.
From politics to pop culture, we connect the dots and give you the context mainstream headlines often miss. New episodes weekly, breaking down the news you need to know.

What we did was I had the opportunity to teach a session at New Millennium Multi Media Studios today and AI, and so I talked to the good ol folks, shout out everyone who came out for the AI class, the AI session, and so it went really well, and of course they want more classes. You know, AI is so broad, AI so dynamic, and so you could teach one thing and something else is available. You know, you use one tool, another tool comes out, and so it's just about making sure that you know that you stay on top of the latest of what's going on, especially as it relates to a I. And so that's what that was about, for sure. Yeah yeah, yeah, something else because AI is a doing a lot. Yeah yeah, I was doing way too much right now, you know. And you know, unfortunately, you know, uh CHGBT or the company Open AI is on the fire right now. Uh yeah, they're under fire. Apparently they made a deal with armed forces, you know, and so you know, i'll explore that story. I'll follow that story a little later on. But you know, it's just interesting that big brother, big brother is embedded into everything, and so if you want to jump on one thing, you got to talk about all the other things support and war and all of that, but you. Know, we talk. We were here for peace. We want peace, you know, and so we're praying for all those around the world. Hopefully this war will stop and we can reach a mutual kind of like concession and will go from there. Yeah, for sure, for sure. All right, Hey, this is saying. If we cannot be complete unless you. Listen to you watch we talk. We talked weekly after the talk with w p P m l P Philadelphia one o six point five FM. We talked weekly after they talk with your boy Charles Gregory. And beautiful class. And the beautiful Lauren and I don't hear y'all hold on more again, one more again, Lawrence, There she goes, there she going. The beautiful tis Henry and we are back. All right, You ready for me, classy lady, all right, give it to me early. All right, this is. Some bad news. I don't know if y'all heard about this, but police has said that a liven year old boy shot and killed his mother's boyfriend. What did I hear about that? And the king said part of Philadelphia all right. Well, investigators say that the boyfriend, thirty. Year old jahmyor Jones Walker was from Lansdowne and he came to the home and got into a very heated argument with the child's mother. That argument was turned violent and basically inside they were inside the second floor bedroom. According to police, the young boy saw the man assaulting his mother. He grabbed a handgun that belonged to his mom, fired one shot in the man's face, what killing him there on spot. So the man was pronounced dead at the scene just before midnight, and Soursus says that the dispute may have been connected to the visitation rights that the that the mother and the man had a newborn baby, so I think they were having a dispute about that. Neighbors did say that they used to hear a lot of arguing coming from the home. The child and his mother are cooperating. With investigators and the DA is still reviewing whether any charge are going to be filed. So oh say, oh my gosh, I mean my granddaughter is ten. I'm just like thinking eleven years or you could just think about when you're eleven now. I don't know how many people have shot a gun before, even down to a twenty two, that's a smaller gun for an eleven year old. But it's a joke when you like, and the aiming for the man's face. Oh my gosh. Oh. So I did list a number for the National Domestic Violence pretty much twenty four to seven hotline. The national number is one hundred seven nine nine safe. That's twenty hundred seven nine nine seven two three three. Or for the Pennsylvanian Coalition Against Domestic Violence, it's one hundred nine three two four six three two. It's interesting that you would bring up that story. Recently, in the Philadelphia area and a local surrounding county, there have been news about custody disputes ending tragically for either their mother or father or both. It seems to be on the rise. At some point, I'm going to discuss with everybody the changes in Caiden's law that relates to some of the stories we've been seeing in the news where with custody court. They after the situation when Cayden, I don't know if you guys know what that was, but just to briefly relate the facts, Dad had the kid. He was calling mom, taunting, using a kid like kind of as a pawn, taunting mom and saying he would do all these things to the child for his custodio time. Come to find out Dad's severely stab the kid and then after he died he carved in you know, words and stuff on the body and things like that and called moms laughing and things about it. It was terrible. But we do see a lot of that recently with custody disputes, and the Sparkle gave the domestic violence hotline. But if you are having any sort of violent event, whether it's physical domestic violence, verbal domestic violence, emotional domastic violence like what the man did with the tauning, any kind of violence, I do urge you to get. Your police reports, get your protection from abuse. If you happen to have a criminal matter, please show up in court so that the matter can go forward. These things do need to be documented. Prezent them at your custody hearings and do what you can. After Caden's Law, the custody course now have to do hone in on domestic violence history. It wasn't that they weren't already required to do so, but it's being held to a more higher standard now and so the Mexica violent passed. Whether it was the two of you or one of you, whatever is in your history has it's been highlighted, and it's more of a zeroing in on it before a court issues a custody order. So these things are coming into heavy year scrutiny and heavy heavily consideration before things like that are ordered. Wow. And just just to make it, to make it known, this isn't gender specific. Nice is also men who get domestic violence, like the you know, either same sex partners or either a woman hitting on the man. So this is in general for any one, even elderly abused, when you're being cared for by someone and you're being abused. So we're talking across the board. Go ahead, Size, I was gonna say, like, what are your what are your thoughts on how because sometimes women are confused as to like what they can do when it comes to, you know, the custody exchanges, like you know, when there's separations involved in and one parent is exchanging custody with the other parent. For example, the young lady that was killed in Upper Derby a couple months ago, and there was a lot of people that were saying, like, you know, on social media, oh well she should have done this, and she should have done that. Why would she go and you know, to his house to pick the kids up. Because when they went to pick the kids up, you know, they got into an argument and the dad shot and killed the mom in front of the children. So should they should there. Be in an arrangement or you know, a legal arrangement, you know, meeting at you know, the police station or something like that. So I always tell people that you know your family better than any court system or any judge or whoever. Does you know what's going to happen behind the scenes. You know what their propensities are and if you have a history of that, even if nothing has happened recently. But if you are generally aware and you go to seek a custody order, you can request that your custody order is crafted to have specific language around your exchanges. A lot of parties go to police stations where they sign a law to say, you know a game with this time and this was the exchange. But they also go there for protection and security because of a history. Even if something only happened one time, it happened, it is a part of your history. So don't think that oh, well, you know, I can't really prove it or oh well, this only happened one time. Sometimes that's all it takes, and then you don't want you don't want a second time. You don't know what's going to cause someone to escalate at some point, what's going to calls someone to turn and use your. Children literally as weapons. It gives you so you do have that right sumpetition to the court so that you can have a more safe custodio exchange. Yeah, all right. The second story, Now, this family is something that I think every Philadelphia or somebody close to you have gone through. So if you've been driving around Philly and you don't see the boots anymore, you might start seeing these big, bright yellow devices on the windshield. Now they're called barnacles. Have y'all seen them. Instead of instead. Of putting the boot on, they're now putting this big yellow barnacle over the windshields so that you literally can't drive. You can put. Here's a conversation's heating up. Cindy Council members large, unregulated, and. There are concerns that they could be used unfairly. She's wishing legislation so barnacles would follow the same rules as towing or booting, meaning a vehicle would not be able to receive a barnacle unless it's ticketed first by the police so or by PBA, like it has to have a ticket first. So pretty much, if you think that you're just going to go and put the barnacle on a windshield, you can call the police. And have them remove it if you weren't ticketed first. So they're saying that there there's laws behind it. So if you're struggling with. Any tickets, here are some options that you know, we're solution based, so you can try to you know, make payment arrangements or something with the Philadelphia Parking Authority, so they do offer payment. Sometimes they're low, as you know, twenty dollars a month. Depending on how much you owe. You can call one eight eight eight five nine to one three six three six that's to dispute a ticket or ask about assistance, and if you're local you can do two one five six eighty. Three nine to five week zero. Hopefully that was helpful. Yeah, man, you know, I don't I'm not a fan of Listen, here go with cheat coot y'all. If you got those tickets and you worry about that, particular thing. Turn your car car off with your when your wife is in the up position. The only way they can put it on now is and so then you got a case. Yeah, it's hurting the car. But here's something else Philly has start doing now. Back in the day, if you got a ticket on that car, you get another car and you good. No, now you get a ticket on that car. It's following your license. So any car that's now registered under you, every car gets a. Ticket, like they can take. Any I see you over there, esquires. Now I've seen it happen to a close friends. Yes, yes, so it happened to my brother. He got a new band. He thought he was like chilling. They took one of his career. He's like, nope, we're coming for this one too, unless you pay the tickets off. So take that number. I give y'all. Okay, this next story, last story former Philadelphia DA Seth Williams. I wanted to know what was going on with him, and I found out one of the city's top law enforcement officials, which was our former Philadelphia DA Seth Williams. He's now an inmate, federal inmate. And yes, he pleaded guilty to robbery charges tied to accepting luxury gifts, cash and even though it's page trips. From a businessman for political favors. For those who may not know, Back in twenty seventeen, federal Prosecutor Williams sold the office of the DA to the personal Game, making him the first sitting in Philadelphia DA ever convicted of a crime. He was sentenced to five years in prison, and as one prosecutor put it, no one is above the law, not even the DA. At the serving time in federal prison for corruption, former Philadelphia das F. Williams is now inside this system, the one he once ran. He's now working as a part time chaplain inside the Riverside Correctional Facility. He's offering spiritual counseling and career classes to incarcerated men. He's earned about twenty one dollars an hour. William says that this was the best use of my experience, is helping people who are incarcerated the way I was, adding that after prosecuting people, he. Has become one himself. He now wants to help reduce recidivism from the inside. I actually love that part of it, though, I mean, he's going to have a story. When he's done to me, it's. All from grace and I think sometimes humble, pious, something else. You know, And when you're at the top, you really, at least for me, my spirituality has to know that you're only there because not of yourself. And when you get them there and you forget, it's it's it's a it's a fall coming down, you know. And when you get down sometimes you have to start saying, hey, who can I. Help And it looks like he got it. So yeah, so have to seth Williams that I think a lot of you know, people in politics, as even our previous guest was saying, a lot of them have had dirty hands and some got away. Some didn't. What was the lady's name from the nineties, the previous da do you remember, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, So that that was like, I mean, just speaking about a lot of people who you know, they have a lot of indictment of you know, previous you know officers and everything. So some got away, some didn't. But karma find you sometimes in health and everything else. But that was a good news and your bad news from your girl classy ladies sparks. And that was good news. And Black News from Classy Ladies Spark. On the Beautiful Classic Lady Spark, Beautiful Lawrence, and. The beautiful Tanisia. Henry Tanisia. Hen you got something for me? Oh sure? Really? So we're just going to follow up on the aftermath of the president's removal of historic panels and some other items, which actually happened across the nation. As a reminder, locally here in January twenty twenty sixth we learned of an executive order that was issued that forest parks that have to remove a slavery exhibit that depicted the history and names of nine slaves who were owned by President Washington and who lived there in the seventeen nineties. In response to this, the City of Philadelphia filed a lawsuit against the federal government's Interior Department. So what happened, because they did go to court. Here's some answers to what happened in court that were publicly released. At that hearing. Philadelphia city officials represented that the law was broken and in the in that remove process. So what they were alluding to was this background information that in twenty ten the panels were erected as a part of an agreement that included the city in the park. So essentially this action now is an intrusion on their agreement from twenty ten. So a third party going ahead to infringe on what was already contractually agree between these other parties. So the city requested the court to restore the historic panels. Then we find out on Monday, February sixteen, which is the federal holiday President's Day in commemoration in part for President Washington, a federal drudge granted the city's request and issued an injunction to temporarily block the changes or the removal, in order that they restore them in the same physical state that they were in the day before the removal, which was January twenty first, the judge called the administration's argument that a president could unilaterally order changes to exhibits displayed in national parks, both and in quotations horrifying in dangerous. The matter is still in litigation, but after the order went out that same night, the Interior Department put out notices that they were follaling an injunction of that order the same night. And they did. Now, just briefly, I like to take a moment in Pauls and talk about timing. This is all going on during Black History Month. The ruling came out on President's Day again in commemb Ali in commemoration to President Washington himself. But on the following morning, on Tuesday, February seventeen, our nation was hit with the death of civil rights leader Reverend Justin Jackson, whose services were just held. There was one in the on March second, and then another one in March sixth in Chicago. The final serving service just asked if we take about fifteen seconds to as a moment of silence and reverence of his life and his work. All right, thank you everyone, and now back to the story. Remember that appeal was fouled, right, They had a five pm deadline to restore the panels. What was going on with the restoration of the panels that day? The federal government one what's called a stay of execution, which meant that they did not have to fully restore the displays. So while they have been in the process of erecking some of the displays, some of them didn't go up, and they learned that some of them hadn't been damaged in the process of the removal in the story, and that they had a plan to kind of restore the damaged panels and then put them up. But we learned that with that stay that that didn't happen. They still have not been put up. This day that went into place did say that those panels that did not go up had to still be preserved while it's still in the litigation. So some Philadelphias have been highlighting the fact that this year Philly celebrates two one hundred and fifty years and this year many tourists are expected to come to our city and celebration of our local history. And they've been posing a question, well, shouldn't our history be an accurate representation of our history? Hint hint the panels and how they were removed, and there were rumors that some other panels will be going up to display a different version of history. That is just some food for thought about how we're preparing for our birthday and we have a little discrepancy on what our actual history is. That story number one. We have time for another. That's fine, but but add no, no, we no, because I want her to give her clothes and art. I'm about to put on on a one all right. So here's the thing. Whenever there's active litigation. I cannot it because it's still going on. There you go, there, you go. All right. Well, what I would say is that I was very angry because I did attend. You know, I just want to give a shout out to an ab J Philly, the National Association of Black Journalists Philadelphia. I did attend there their March member meeting on this Wednesday, this past Wednesday, where we had attorney Michael Michael Cord. And sorry, I apologize for that. My mind is just all. Over the place. Yes, the angriest black man in America. I don't know how that. I just had like a brain little, you know. But we had attorney Michael Cord there who spoke so powerfully and so eloquently about that whole thing, about the process and how he started at w h A T which is now w r D and back in two thousand and two, and how they started the A t AC. Yes, he laid out that whole story and it was just powerful. And and then you know, and I'll make a long story short. And after that, I took it upon myself when I left the meeting to go across the street and take a look for myself, because now that I no longer work directly down here downtown. I wanted to see for myself and it was dark, so but I saw enough, and I was extremely angry because. It's still not restored. So they you know, you still see what they took down, and then you put up one little panel and then you know it's stuff missing, and and it's just it's just a mess. It's a mess. And I was extremely angry, and you know, why not just put up what they took down? Where is it exactly? So they were in the process of doing that by the five pm deadline, but right before the deadlin I hit the Appellate Court, which is the higher court that they appealed to issue this saying like, like, Paul's your work. Stop what's up there it has to stay, But the rest of it you have to preserve until we finish our litigation. Right and shout out to some of the people who were down there reading uh, because I went by there a few times and it was some citizens, some concern people from the community actually reading the names and writing on there. Just for people to remember that, you know, these were people here and we're never going to forget. So shout out to the community. Lot of people. Yeah, there's a lot of people saying that you can't erase history. And Michael Cord said that just the fact that you know this, you know, administration had if he said, if he had been silent and not said anything about it, nobody would even be thinking about the President's house. But the fact that he brought it up, it has put so much attention on it that you know, and I'll just say it and his words but not verbatim, that now you have what he's saying is like little old white ladies and and you know, and then you have Jewish men and you have muslim men, and people that would never come together are coming together to protest in some kind of form against what they are doing with the president's house. Yes, absolutely fantastic. So you got some footage, right, I did have some footish, let's see, because I saw one of the what you were speaking of, where Michael Court bore a bunch of religious leaders and officials together down there, and everyone from every background, every creed, every ethical background spoke so well and so eloquently in defense of preserving our black history. It was beautiful to watch. I'm pretty sure people shed tears in the variety of people who showed up people you know, you would never expect that people stand up for black people in this regard, but just watch it live and to watch the sincerity of it was very emotional. I'm so proud that everybody came together to support us, especially during Black History Months. That's right, and SIZZL had the opportunity to go down there and get some of that footage. And I want you all to stay tuned because, say, within the next week, we'll put it up on the site so you can actually see some of the conversations in a panel and everything that was happening, especially with Michael Core and the location too, right, and so you'll be able to see all of that good old stuff. This we talk weekly. This is what we do all day every day. Something else you want to talk to me about. I can talk about what's going on with the school district. All right, let's go through that real quick, and then we're gonna bring you on our guests. Okay, Abstely. So, while the city of Philadelphia was having one battle, another battle was also going on, and that was the School District of Philadelphia. Is superintendent's proposal to the city about closing approximately twenty schools, revamping another one hundred and fifty nine, and having some perhaps given to the city for housing or for businesses. There have been several things that have happened regarding this. One of those things was that the city actually community members had actually gathered together on February twenty six for a meeting I was supposed to take place at four o'clock, and it did. Before that meeting, lots of community members, teachers, administrators, maintenance workers, everybody protested outside of that meeting that was at three thirty in The meeting was scheduled at four o'clock, and this is after a series of meetings had already been happening, but this was the big meeting where the board was scheduled to vote on whether or not this would pass. So while I didn't attend, I did talk to some people who did attend that meeting. They said that it was. A very very long night, an emotional night, a very intense night. Emotions were high, and people did not take it on the superintendent, take it easy on the superintendent. Such they actually felt bad for him after was having to go up against somewhat a lot of opposition, you know, Regardless of whether people agree with him or not. That was a very very hot, heavy seat to be in. But what's that out to me? Most what most resumes were the students who showed up and made their own pleas about their education and their futures. And guess what happened. Two of those schools actually won their fight, Motivation High School and Conwell Middle School. We were both set to close. That's right, these kids, they props, yes, but they have. Now been removed from the school closure lists, reducing that list from twenty school to eighteen schools. The next meeting is scheduled for March twelve, twenty twenty six, at four pm. Now these meetings are open to the public, just as they are when the city Council meets, so you are welcome to attend, community members, parents, whoever. I did just want to highlight that that this also happened during Black History Month. So I was happy, proud, this very happy and proud to see people using their voices in hopes of magnifying the issues that they perceive around them so that those issues are not overlooked. And in these very two instances and so some ways, they actually prevailed. So kudos to everybody who was out here fighting. For their rights. I love our youth. You've been doing the business man. I'm telling you, these kids are the future. They're smarter than a lot of people even understand and believe you know, sometime just ask them the questions they'll they'll surprise you. So fantastic you've done with the tea. Absolutely other than that, I'm happy belated Black History Month, but also we are now celebrating Women's History Month. Please find yourself a woman warrior and say thank you and congratulations for her work all month long. All right, so I'll say that right now to my team here and we talk weekly. Thank y'all. Really appreciate y'all. I'm gonna have to hear y'all all month. So I don't want y'all to go anywhere. I think that's an excellent transition to go to some of our young youth civic leaders and some of our you know, youth civic news or reporters from there. And when we come back, we got a dynamic interview, got a jam packed show. Don't go nowhere. We'll be right back after this show. Hi, I'm Willo Jordan with you Civic News and I'm here with my grandfather, Willie Jordan and Gpa. What brings you out tonight, Well, I'm. Here to discuss the importance of the election that's coming up and important. The responsibility that we have to do is out, get. Out to vote. What is your role? I have wear many hats. But one is a community activist, and that means to keep people aware and make them informed on the issues of the day so they can come out and make a real good choice on voting for the right candidates. What are some of the issues you see? Housing, education, transportation, There's a lot of things. Anything that we do in our lives, it has to do with elections, politicians, elective officials making those The amount of time that you stay in school and the amount of days you stay in school is based on what some elected official came up with. How important? How important is it to vote? It is very important. It's not just important, it's responsible. Voting shit is not a selfish activity. It's a selfless You vote to help others. So as you help others, people help you and be a better world, a better city, a better country to live in. Where do some of your beliefs come from? Well, my belief is based on I guess I would first come from my home training. My parents told me the importance of civic responsibility, caring, loving, sharing, being involved, being responsible on your actions. Is there any positive knowledge you would give to the people who don't vote. I would tell them, if they can't come up with a reason why they should vote for themselves, come up with a reason why they should. Vote for someone else, for their parents. For their children, for more street lights. How they want a better community, do it for someone else. I'm Willow Jordan reporting from U Civic News, and I'm here with my grandfather, Willie Jordan.

She was released from her conservativeship in twenty twenty one and in twenty twenty four, Britney Spears divorced her then husband, model singam Esh Gary after just one year of marriage and last mom she sold her music catalog and the deal that, yes this still was estimated to be about two hundred million dollars. So police are still investigating this matter, but Britney is scheduled to appear in court on May fourth, and she could be potentially facing jail time for drug possession. Yeah, people are saying the fact that she sold her music catalog is like a strong statement. So does it is it right to say that when she had which is it not guardianship? But was it her conservative ship? Did she may have needed it? May not we have as strict as it was, but some type of overseer of her because she clearly did exactly what they feelt for whoever. I think it was her father at that time. Yeah, yeah, it could happen. Yeah, well, I mean they according to her fans, they are they have always thought that he is the reason for all of this. I mean, I want to say all this but like for her mental health issues and the. Someone who's more trustworthy. Although he created it and messed her up, it still doesn't look the fact that. She probably needed someone to oversee her. And it's just so sad. Yeah, yeah, it really is I hate to see Brittany going through this because, like you know, now. It's it's more like light on her, more. Videos, more scrutiny, and you know she's trying to stay now closer to her children. I even saw like pictures of her now her or her song driving her in the car now. So yeah, it's just it's just sad. It's just really sad. The last thing I want to say about that is that it's like the media is so distracting so much noise. Is that although it's like they push it. And what I mean by that is that had they not gotten involved to a. Degree, free Brittany and all these other things, and maybe it probably could not have ended up to this degree, like this woman can be space in jail time. You said, well, I mean it did find I think pills are something in her car. Yeah, so whatever the drugs were depends on like you know, what's you know, what the substances are and all that. It's yeah, that's just sad all around. Yeah, yeah, it really is. Because I was watching there was like another clip that they were showing and they said something about, oh, this police officer had pulled her over twice. I guess twice in one week. I think they was comparing like how many times she was pulled over or something like that, and trying to say, like talking about her behavior. But then I was just like the police officer pulled her over, and I forget. I wish I could remember what the police officer was saying, but it was just like whatever it was that he pulled her over for, it was nonsense. I'm like, is he just like tolling her or like because he knows this, he wants to pull her over and just have something to say to her. I don't know, and I can't. Yeah, I'm not judging that, but it just was like, is it just her and her behavior every single time? To me, she's being profiled? Yest's just watch her do so so we can pull her over or we can. Get her right right right, Because it was something like about yeah, yeah, it was like one of it. I can't. I wish I could remember, because it was something like real small, like seatbelt or something. It just was something like real corny. Yeah, Like I'm just like, really, is are you you're just really trolling her? Do you want to just like pull her over because you you know, that's her car you. Want to talk to her or whatever. I don't know, but it's just like that. And I don't want to compare apples to oranges when it comes to racial profiling, because that's something. Totally totally different. But when you've been like pulled over and profiled or like Copparazzi when it comes to you know, celebrities, and the anxiety of it, and you know it says Diana and all that, you know, it's traumatizing. I guess for them, I would say that, so to be just pulled over for nonsense and it's just could that be adding to her. You know behavior? Yeah, like if you you finally get to a point where you're like saying and then it's it's like a trigger. You know. They talk about triggers when you have PTSD and like how to avoid them and what you do, like therapy and. In your trigger. Living life out loud like that all the time, always in the court front, always in social media, and you got kids and the kids got to see stuff for both and stuff too. It's probably a trigger for her every single. Day exactly exactly. And yeah, that conservativeship and being controlled and like I don't know, she used the term used as a machine. I can't remember, but it seems like she said that. It's just mhm, I just yeah, man, free. Brittany is like, will she ever be free? All right? So I'm thinking because your mind and for her. I exactly exactly. Because yeah, yeah yeah, I just feel really I feel did terrible for her. I hope she, you know, bounces back from this, all right. So showing Diddy Combs could be free, talking about free, he could be free a little sooner than we thought. His prison really state, previously slated for June four, twenty twenty eight, has been. Pushed up to April twenty fifth, twenty twenty eight. So yeah. So. Diddy is currently serving his fifty month sentence at Fort Dick's Prison in New Jersey, just forty miles outside of Philadelphia, and his attorneys requested from the judge that the judge recommend Diddy serve his sentence here to due to the prison's drug rehabilitation program. So did. He's attorney, Terry Gargo said, in order to address drug abuse issues and to maximize family visitation and rehabilitation rehabilitative efforts, we request that the court strongly recommend to the Bureau of Prisons that mister Comsby placed at FCI Fort Dix for our DAP purposes and any other available educational and occupational programs. So Fort Dix is also a low security prison housing approximately four thousand prisoners. So Diddy was arrested in September twenty twenty four and convicted of fifty months in prison for two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. So he might be getting out just tab it soon or so. What if we h visits? Do you know what? That is? Crazy? That was because I was thinking that too, like just right outside of Phi. So like I wonder if you. Like we just go go up there and get we got to get on his list and all. Yeah, and they put him there because he wanted to be like at the program coas and yeah, close to New York and his family be able to have visits from them and still do the program. And yeah, and he didn't know he was close to us, so. He probably I. Was going say, he probably seeing some of them just because you went there exactly exact exactly, Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I think there they got. Work release and you know the stuff. They got programs there and all that, so you might have to that means that you were you know, you were wrongfully company saying I don't know where he was wrong. It's another conversation. Yeah, I say, go for loneliness make you do some strange things. So, yeah, you know, busive interview, you know, just like the yeah, what kind. Of what will we call about the baby? I'm just saying, like, what what will we ask him? I mean, where's where's me in Chicago? I think George he's in New York? Okay, wan, I know he's from Shytown. I didn't know if they probably. Hometown or not. So yeah, but I think I really I'm the person who feels like Diddy is not there for he shouldn't be there for. That's my opinion. I think that. You know how they tell you that what you get caught where you really didn't do, but what you didn't do you really do? You know? You know, I think it's in my in my opinion, one of those things. But he had ready public opinion and you know they've already Yeah. So but I think that we I think the years want to change for help, I don't. I think he's going to get out earlier. And as far as not months, but I think he'll probably get like out in twenty twenty seven or they'll keep pushing that April. I would I would not be surprised because I know he did get twelve months for credit for time served because he had already done a year before he was sentenced. And then. This is just me, you know, not any thoughts of we talk with me or the show or any of that. But like, I would not be surprised if there is like a back door. Where if there's a. Back door, if if his camp reaches out to the current administration and there is some type of agreement that we don't know about where, you know, just in his early release earlier. Than you think. I wouldn't be surprised because it's just like probably at the time, it's like it's kind of like the wrong time to be like you. Can be party, you know what I mean, Like you could be party, especially. With everything that's going on with these Epstein files, it's just not really a good look. But also think because he is a billionaire that they are treating him a little unjust. There's things that because of who he is that the average show would have not endured. You know there was times where he could have gotten you know, failed, but they know he can afford it. So that to me is like discrimination to a degree, you know, because. You're not using the justice system appropriately, You're you're not looking at equality for that person to have them at the same brisons. Yeah, because there's you know, I guess you know, two ends of the spectrum. You got a lot of people are saying the same thing. And then there's also the prosecutor who's just like, he should have got those eleven years and we asked for which is I mean eleven years is. I won't say. Right, But they were getting him on a reco case. Can you have a recocase a long he wasn't. Yeah, those were the more severe charges that he was not found guilty of, and if he had been, then it would have been. Something like that. So wow. Yeah. But yeah, but there's a lot of people that are saying, based on like what he was convicted on, the fifty months is a stretch, hm, based on those convictions. Yeah, all right, so uh the celebrity sizzle, Yeah, like the celebrity sizzle, Well, we probably want to get out of here because you know, time going up, hours and by. Daylight saving times and. An hour you lose an hour. Yeah, I hope I make. It because I know. As soon as they as soon as that adrenaline wear off and you gotta get in the bed and lose that hour. Yeah. And it's it's around this time that you are you questioned it, like, let's start that petition to cancel. Say when it falls back. You're like, they. Always I need. It's a money thing. Yeah, they say teriffs all that kind of stuff. Yeah, exactly. We ain't laughing. I just got sleepy. I know, heavy. Said after or what you said? That rush off? That's when I leave here some. Already, Yes, I know, like I forget him out the Sunday School. All right. So the Celebrity Sizzle Award of the Week shout out to Spark from making me remember I. Wanted to include. This goes to. Spark, go ahead, you have to put me in jail. He said, yes, I was, thank you, and I gave her the drum there. I mean we was on the little short sabbatical. I had this on the list like two three weeks ago, and that Spark made me remember. But it goes to Lauren Hill. She's been nominated to be inducted into the twenty twenty six Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So she released The mis Education of Lauren Hill twenty eight years ago, become the first hip hop shout out. To Women's History Month. I thought he was gonna say something, but becoming the first hip hop You're Gonna get me with a Kanye West moment, becoming the first hip hop album to win Album of the Year at the nineteen ninety one Grammy Awards, and then John Sykes, chairman of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, set in a statement, this diverse list of talented nominees recognizes the ever evolving faces and sounds of rock and roll and it's continued impact on youth culture. So Laurren Hill joins the seventeen other nominees, which. Include Mariah Carey. Wu Tang, shy Day, Pink, Shakira, Luther Vandross. They got some They got some heavy hitters that you're just like, why weren't they in there before? You know, A bunch of bunch of people, bunch of people, Pink New Edition, uh, Phil Collins, some of the legends, the greats are like Pink. But it's too soon for. I feel like I got other people who could have gotten insert and. You said she care I think that's a little too soon too. I don't. I don't know her catalog. Well, I really can't. I mean when you say too soon, like then. That is Lauren Hill's like they got too much work to do. I just feel like there's other people for me I can insert in that space that to me. Are more deserving of it. Well, I think Lauren Hill is he's like legendary. Oh no, I'm talking about Pink. I think Lauren Hill because when you said about as far as timing, now, they. Came out where it would they would. Have a nice time frame. But I just feel like I could name somebody who I could feel like would be. Yeah. I mean, I like, I don't know her full catalog though. But okay, for instance, Pink Jill Scott, like who came out. That's a good comparison. I haven't followed like that. That's what I'm saying. Like she was on our side a little bit then she went over, but she used us when she first came. There's a list of people that have done yes, she's on that list. What I'm saying, like, if you had to put those two people she Jill Scott is standing. But that's what I'm saying, like, is. That is it? Yeah? I don't know that's again. Yeah so yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's it's yes, it's for Lauren hill Man to make all right, we know she did. The story is following me. You must be idiots. What are you doing? Are you people out of your mind? Are you just so with it? Any clue your conduct? Oh way we're going to argue about lan I was not. I was about to give her her kudos, like it's. Not on the mis Education of Laurence hill I play it to this very day. I know all the words to each song, never skip each phone. I'm saying, for you to have one. CD to carry you this long is the way you want to do it. Well, it's not just what. She got that one CD she did. I'm talking about the mis Education unplugged or whatever she could have like revented. But it's the same, the same songs. But trust me, I know from the back back to front. But that too, that's. Timeless to be able to that's to me genius, Like that is amazing for you to have one CD. I'm not even I'm not down in it. I'm saying how genius. It is for her to carry you that law like that art of how that CD is. The flip side of that is people don't give her her credit because they say she only. Have one that's not accurate, and then would. She put out another one though? I would you, I wouldn't if. That If that CD has had that magnitude of success, what forging my granddaughter? Like there's generations that know that song because of how much I play that song, and she knows who Lauren Hill is, you know what I mean? Like that to be almost thirty years old, I don't think she could top it. Yeah, And if you look at artists like Kariti b that's just like you know, I'm you know, I'm sensitive about my art. I don't even want to put out another art, art, another album because I don't know if it's going to top that success. Yeah, artists, every artist, of course, but they put out another artist that what she did because even with I think it was almost like a disc track with what Why cleft at the time, like what she did was just it was amazing. It was amazing. She was a singer on it, she was a rapper on and it was double line tendres, it was educational. I love it. I wish she doesn't do it because it's like meeting your hero. I'm gonna be like, wait, I still like this. One, but just to be able to it's almost like having a good garment and that being so the lining, the you know, the pressing of it right and if you go ahead, No, I was just gonna say, and if you think of the fiftieth announced more than fifty years, but like the fifty year anniversary of hip hop and that being the album that was like the first album to get. A Grammy Award for hip hop. It opened the doors. Yeah, I just I just want to say that. I mean, she had an acoustic album and it's amazing. And not only that, she played the instruments, and that's what makes her so dynamic, Like she's stupid talented. But you know it's not just singing. I mean it's rap and singing. You know, our acting armor and B is her instrumentation, is her being able to put I don't think Pink could do something like that. So when when when I'm thinking of the full picture, like she's to me. She's light years ahead. Of Pink. However, people who maybe support Pink was probably saying her catalog is long, and you know they. Probably have support with Pink. I don't. I don't know. I don't follow Pink so much, but I know one thing. We've heard Pink music. Follow her talented. But if you think of Aretha Franklin and look out how I read the plan is the instruments, how she sings, how she acts. That's like even Lauren Hill even looked at like they did like a thing that a song like that. It's just different. And I think Pink, if she was sitting right here, would be like, I don't even compare. She would tell you she would. Like she walks on air to me me too. I just you can't put on nobody else conversation to me, like who she? Who else is she in a conversation with. She? I mean, no, you can't that. She has her generation, but Wreath her generation. Absolutely. I still wouldn't put them to in the same conversation at all, because. Generations that's that too. But I'm not taking anything from Retha Franklin because she's she's she's kind of like a guy too. But I'm you can't I just don't. Then you're talking about someone who could sing. In rep yeah, singing. Frankly, she's classically trained, so she can play the piano. She understands artistics like. But that was the music Lauren Hill like laur in his birth because of Aretha. That's what I'm trying to say, Like she's looking at her like, oh my gosh, this is what I want to be. And then hip hop started, but it wasn't in the wreath of time and then so now she has that avenue. But it wouldn't be a Lauren if there was no not you, Lauren. But you know, like. You wouldn't have Lauren if it wasn't Aretha like people I know, but that's what you got to talk about. She would tell you like I wouldn't be like even with like. Mhmm, yeah, and. I got the uh no not not roberta flat Yeah. Yes, that's strange truth. That's that's Retha Franklin. Like everybody got a baby speak exactly. You gotta bring up you gotta talk about everybody. She birthed everybody, you know, That's what I'm saying. Everybody's that's quote unquote progeny is someone else because that was the inspiration and so I never put you know, that's why I say I don't want to get into too much hip hop because I'm taking away from the story. But you know, you can't compare a generation. Yeah, but in granted, but it's it's I don't know, this is not a dig. But this is what little Kim was telling Nicki minaj. Am I starting. That's that's a baby like Nicki min I just little Kim baby like you can't and it's no dig on anything. And little Killing is probably a baby. I don't know baby. Rocky and Chante is something I don't know. But everybody, everybody has something that they came from. And are all right, I'm done speaking. Of rock real quick. This is and Santa if we cannot be complete unless you listen to or. Watch we talk. Put her in the Hall of Fame. She gave a billion dollars. Yeah, yes, she deserved it.
