    The Rickey Smiley Morning Show kicks off with major legal news as a federal judge dismisses the sexual assault lawsuit involving Sean “Diddy” Combs, Odell Beckham Jr., and Druski, citing procedural failures rather than ruling on the claims themselves.

    FULL SHOW | Congresswoman Jasmin Crockett Running for US Senate; Quiet Tension Brewing Between Beyoncé and Brandy; Brian McKnight Could Not Say I Love You to Dying Son; and MORE

    The Rickey Smiley Morning Show dives into a packed mix of politics, music-industry tension, and raw family revelations, opening with Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s official announcement that she’s running for U.S. Senate. The team breaks down the energy around her Dallas rally and what her entry could mean in a heated election climate as she positions herself as a fighter on cost-of-living, healthcare, and holding Trump accountable. From there, the show shifts into entertainment chatter as Gary With Da Tea stirs the pot over a quiet but growing tension between Beyoncé and Brandy, fueled by whispers that Bey attended multiple Brandy/Monica tour stops but noticeably avoided Brandy backstage — a rumor the cast debates fiercely, especially as fans speculate about long-standing industry politics, sibling commentary, and behind-the-scenes misunderstandings.  Later, the crew reacts to Shannon Sharpe’s emotional therapy-session confession about his lifelong difficulty with relationships and lingering wounds from parental abandonment — a conversation that leads into a reflection on how unresolved childhood pain can echo into adulthood. And closing the show on an especially heavy note, the cast discusses the resurfaced clip of Brian McKnight Jr. describing how his dying brother begged their father simply to say “I love you,” only to be denied, a moment that stunned social media and reopened public criticism about the elder McKnight’s treatment of his older children.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/rickey-smiley-morning-show  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The Rickey Smiley Morning Show kicks off with a sharp look at global and political headlines, starting with President Trump’s announcement of a U.S.–brokered peace deal between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda—despite skepticism from experts who note that rebel groups weren’t included and conflict remains ongoing. The team also examines concerns over the U.S. benefiting from Congolese minerals while Congolese citizens remain on the American travel ban list. Meanwhile, in a story that stunned listeners, the crew discusses the tragic shooting death of Chicago mother Remika Meeks-Blackmon, with new details showing the alleged shooter was romantically tied to the same man—who shockingly fist-bumped her afterward.  In entertainment, Tamar Braxton’s career is thriving as she signs on to star alongside Taye Diggs in the upcoming Tubi thriller Stepfather. The show also digs into resurfaced accusations against Brian McKnight after his son revealed emotional details about being denied an “I love you” during his battle with cancer. And in lighter but still jaw-dropping news, the crew reacts to NFL quarterback Jameis Winston revealing his family had been burning through $400,000 a month, prompting him to clamp down on spending.   Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/rickey-smiley-morning-show  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The show opens with a nationwide chill as the U.S. braces for record-breaking freezing temperatures thanks to a powerful arctic blast sweeping across much of the country. Forecasters warn that more than 200 million Americans will be plunged into sub-freezing conditions, with many regions expecting historically cold highs and lows this week. Against that backdrop, celebrity gossip heats up: recent headlines claim actress Zoë Kravitz left a pet python behind in Taylor Swift’s mansion — a story that resurfaced just as winter conditions worsened. The segment has the hosts joking, worrying (for the snake), and wondering how wild fame gets when pets and parties mix.  Jumping from pets to partnerships, the show dissects news that reality-star Kandi Burruss claims her estranged husband’s prenup is invalid, insisting he’s not being faithful — a revelation that ignited debate about trust, money, and marriage under public scrutiny.   Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/rickey-smiley-morning-show   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Would you take a trillion dollars… or ten minutes with Jesus? That viral question set the internet on fire after comedian B. Simone chose the money, igniting a heated on-air debate about faith, priorities, and whether her answer was misunderstood or just plain messy. Meanwhile, Ray J dominated the Hot Spot after publicly calling out Beyoncé and Jay-Z for allegedly ignoring his sister Brandy at recent tour stops, turning the situation into a full-blown “crash out” complete with emotional accusations, internet speculation, and the crew weighing in on whether Ray J was doing the most or simply defending family.  The celebrity drama didn’t stop there. Rihanna had social media buzzing after she was caught on video snapping at A$AP Rocky during a public appearance in NYC, fueling rumors and reactions about relationship tension — though the crew reminded listeners that even power couples have off moments. On the news front, the show broke down President Trump’s controversial move to pause green card and citizenship processing from 19 non-European countries, including Haiti and Afghanistan, raising serious concerns about immigration policy, discrimination, and legal challenges already unfolding.

    The show opens with a headline that surprises a lot of listeners: Diddy, while behind bars, organized and funded a full Thanksgiving dinner for 1,000 inmates at FCI Fort Dix, turning a grim holiday for prisoners into a moment of community and solidarity. Then, they shift gears to a controversy involving Russell Wilson, whose former teammate called the Thanksgiving celebration at Wilson’s home “weird,” sparking debate about celebrity privacy, social media morals, and whether public figures can truly separate personal life from public perception. The Messy family weighs in—half siding with privacy rights, half calling it tone-deaf.  The tone becomes legal and dramatic when hosts dive into news that Todd Tucker is challenging his prenup with Kandi Burruss, claiming the agreement is “unconscionable,” contradicting terms she originally accepted. The segment explores prenup fairness, community expectations, and what this means for high-profile Black marriages. Finally, the discussion turns political as Chuck Schumer blames MAGA supporters for the multiple bomb threats sent recently to his New York offices — a reminder that threats to democracy still lurk behind partisan noise.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/rickey-smiley-morning-show   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    FULL SHOW | White House Try to Clean Up Trump’s Sedition Post on Truth Social; Rumors of Nene Leakes Returning to Real Housewives of Atlanta; Chadwick Boseman Honored with Hollywood Walk of Fame; and MORE

    The show opens with a sharp rundown of the White House scrambling to contain the fallout from President Trump’s Truth Social post calling for Democratic lawmakers to face sedition charges “punishable by death.” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt tried to soften the message, but critics and the RSMS crew weren’t buying it—especially after Trump snapped at Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey, calling her “piggy,” continuing his long history of demeaning women. In entertainment chatter, Gary with Da Tea dove into Bravo chair Frances Berwick hinting that both Kenya Moore and a long-awaited Nene Leakes return to RHOA are “not off the table,” which had the cast cutting up.  A standout moment came when certified sex and intimacy coach Tana C. Gilmore joined the crew to talk holiday dating — from matching pajamas to avoiding messy Thanksgiving questions — while Ricky hilariously went off about women ignoring friendly gestures at gas stations and stoplights. The episode closed on a heartfelt note as Chadwick Boseman was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, celebrated by his widow Simone, Ryan Coogler, and Viola Davis. Simone’s tribute, reflecting on his kindness, brilliance, and dedication even while privately battling cancer, left both the studio and listeners moved.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/rickey-smiley-morning-show   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    FULL SHOW | Usher Filing a Lawsuit Against Brian Michael-Cox and Business Partners; Smokey Robinson Accused by Male in Another Sexual Assault Case; House Votes Almost Unanimously to Release Epstein Files; and MORE

    The Rickey Smiley Morning Show starts with a headline-grabbing lawsuit as Usher sues longtime collaborator Bryan-Michael Cox and several business partners over an unpaid $700,000 balance from a $1.7 million loan intended for a Buckhead restaurant project that never materialized. Usher, who has worked with Cox on classics like Burn and U Got It Bad, is now seeking up to $4.9 million in damages after court documents allege the loan money was misused rather than applied to the property purchase as agreed.  The crew then turns to disturbing new allegations against Motown legend Smokey Robinson, as a male accuser joins existing civil cases claiming Robinson sexually assaulted him in 2022—accusations Robinson denies. These lawsuits add to a growing list of Jane and John Doe filings that have put Robinson under intense public scrutiny. Finally, the show dives into breaking political news as the House votes overwhelmingly to release the long-sealed Epstein documents, with a near-unanimous 427–1 vote. The remaining paperwork is expected to move quickly through the Senate before heading to the President’s desk, raising anticipation for what high-profile names or communications might emerge once the files become public.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/rickey-smiley-morning-show   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
