FULL SHOW | RSMS crew sends condolences to Lil Jon as he lost his son; Cardi B spent $1.2 million at the Super Bowl; Halle Berry announces her engagement; Trump disinvites only black governor to Governor’s Dinner; and More

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show delivered an emotional and eventful episode as the team opened the day by sending heartfelt condolences to Lil Jon, who recently confirmed the tragic passing of his 27‑year‑old son, Nathan Smith, known professionally as DJ Young Slade. Authorities recovered Nathan’s body from a Georgia pond after he was reported missing, with police stating that no foul play is suspected. The show also turned its attention to Cardi B, who made headlines for reportedly spending more than $1.2 million to support boyfriend Stefon Diggs at the Super Bowl—covering private suites, premium seating, multiple private jets, and lavish after‑party plans as part of a once‑in‑a‑lifetime celebration. The crew continued with uplifting entertainment news as Halle Berry officially announced her engagement to longtime partner Van Hunt, ending months of speculation. Berry confirmed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that she “did not say no” and proudly displayed her multi‑karat diamond ring while sharing that the couple simply hasn’t chosen a wedding date yet. The show closed with sharp political conversation after reports that Governor Wes Moore, the nation’s only Black governor, was uninvited from this year’s White House National Governors Association dinner—an unprecedented departure from bipartisan tradition that Moore described as “blatant disrespect” and a painful exclusion.

FULL EP | Keke Palmer wants to live in separate homes with husband; Floyd Mayweather blames Showtime for missing $340 million; Lil Wayne to perform at virtual halftime show; and More

On today’s episode, Lore’l, Kyle Santillian, and Alton Walker jump right into a mix of relationships, lawsuits, and celebrity moves — all wrapped in the energy only The Morning Hustle brings. The crew kicks things off with a buzzy conversation about Keke Palmer’s unconventional take on marriage, after she revealed she’d prefer not to live in the same home as her future husband. Her comments spark a spirited debate about space, independence, marriage expectations, and whether separate homes help or hurt long‑term relationships. Callers and hosts weigh in on everything from “healthy distance” to “that sounds like cheating territory,” making it one of the episode’s most energetic discussions. From relationship debates to headline‑making disputes, the Lo’Down turns the focus to Floyd Mayweather, who says he’s missing a staggering $340 million and is now blaming Showtime for giving him the runaround about where the money supposedly went. Lore’l breaks down how Floyd claims he was told shifting stories about funds “over here, then over there,” prompting him to take legal action. Even 50 Cent stepped in and joked that Floyd should’ve let him read the contracts first. The entertainment rundown continues as the hosts pivot to music news, revealing that Lil Wayne will be performing a virtual halftime show — not for the NFL, but for the mobile game Clash Royale, offering fans a digital concert experience at a time when many still believe he deserved the Super Bowl spotlight in New Orleans.

FULL SHOW | Ransom deadline for Nancy Guthrie has come and gone; Comedian Cory Holcomb losing gigs after punching woman on camera; Legendary director Spike Lee joins Rickey Smiley and crew; Discord tightens rules for younger users; and More

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show opens with rising concern over the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today host Savannah Guthrie, as investigators confirm that the ransom deadline has passed with no further communication from suspected abductors. According to recent reports, law enforcement is still working around the clock and has released new surveillance images showing an armed individual tampering with the front‑door camera around the time she vanished. Savannah Guthrie continues pleading to the public for assistance as the FBI maintains a 24‑hour command post and stresses its need for credible tips. The show then shifts to the controversy surrounding comedian Cory Holcomb, who says he’s now losing gigs after surveillance footage surfaced showing him punching fellow comedian Cristina Payne, a video TMZ helped circulate widely. Holcomb claims the media fallout—not legal issues—is destroying decades of work, with venues distancing themselves due to the “optics” of the viral clip. Later, Spike Lee stops by for an energetic conversation celebrating School Daze’s legacy and sharing how the film inspired generations to attend HBCUs. The episode closes with an update on Discord, which is rolling out strict teen‑by‑default settings worldwide next month, requiring facial age‑estimation or government‑ID verification for users to access age‑restricted features—a move driven by global pressure to enhance online safety for minors.

FULL SHOW | Coco Jones singing Black National Anthem at Big Game; SZA and Shaboozey rumors are not accurate; Super music producer Teddy Riley joins RSMS crew; Trump sends out disrespectful social media post about Obamas; and More

This episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast kicks off with a look at Coco Jones preparing to perform the Black National Anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” at Super Bowl LX. Jones shared that she’s been leaning on a vocal trick once used by Whitney Houston—eating Lay’s potato chips to keep her voice “oiled” before major performances—as she gears up for one of the biggest stages in sports. Reports also confirm Coco’s performance continues the NFL’s now‑annual inclusion of the Black National Anthem before kickoff, with Jones joining a lineup that includes Charlie Puth and Brandi Carlile during pre‑game ceremonies. Meanwhile, the show addresses online buzz about SZA and country‑hip‑hop artist Shaboozey, with multiple sources confirming that despite months of speculation, the two have never been romantically involved and maintain only a platonic friendship. Later, listeners get a lively segment featuring super‑producer Teddy Riley, whose new memoir Remember the Times chronicles his rise from Harlem to shaping the sound of modern R&B and hip‑hop through the creation of New Jack Swing and collaborations with icons like Michael Jackson, Mary J. Blige, and Jay‑Z. As conversation turns political, the team reacts to Donald Trump’s recent repost of an AI‑generated video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, which sparked bipartisan condemnation before the White House deleted it, claiming a staffer posted it in error. The episode blends entertainment, culture, and headline news, giving listeners a sharp, humorous, and insightful take on everything happening right now.

FULL EP | Governors no longer holding formal meeting with Trump; Do you find Trump posting the Obamas as apes offensive; Music icon Morris Day joins DL Hughley and crew; Top five romantic Valentine’s Day ideas; and More

This episode dives into politics, controversy, culture, and Valentine’s Day vibes — all with the sharp wit and unfiltered honesty you expect from D.L. Hughley. A major story unfolds as D.L. and the team unpack why the nation’s governors backed out of their annual meeting with President Trump after the White House invited only Republican governors — a move widely criticized as breaking with the event’s longstanding bipartisan tradition. Reports confirm that the National Governors Association canceled its formal meeting after learning Democratic governors were excluded, prompting 18 Democratic leaders to boycott additional White House events as well. The crew then tackles Trump’s circulating meme depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, a racist trope that sparked bipartisan backlash and was ultimately deleted after public condemnation. News outlets confirm that the White House blamed a staffer for posting the video, though Trump declined to apologize. Music icon Morris Day joins the show for a lively conversation reflecting on his legendary career, his connection to Prince, and the evolution of music over the decades. The team closes out with Jasmine’s humorous rundown of top Valentine’s Day ideas — from wine tastings to DIY spa days — echoing wider 2026 trends that favor meaningful, personalized experiences over pricey displays.
