    The Rickey Smiley Morning Show delivers a lively mix of entertainment and insight, opening with news that The Jennifer Hudson Show has officially been renewed for a fifth season, continuing its rise as one of daytime TV’s most influential talk shows. With year‑over‑year audience growth, top‑ranking digital engagement across TikTok and Threads, and more than 6 billion views on its viral Spirit Tunnel segment, Hudson’s platform remains a standout despite major shifts in daytime programming. Meanwhile, the crew dives into the cultural uproar surrounding Tyra Banks, who is facing renewed scrutiny following Netflix’s Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model. The docuseries spotlights controversies ranging from race‑swapping shoots to harmful beauty standards, with critics, former contestants, and viewers asserting that Banks has yet to fully take accountability, despite her on‑camera reflections and attempts to contextualize the show’s past decisions.   Later in the show, David and Tamela Mann join the RSMS crew with warmth and humor, opening up about marriage, music, and their upcoming “Love & Relationship” tour. Their long‑standing bond, rooted in nearly four decades of partnership, continues to resonate deeply with fans, as seen in their frequent interviews and uplifting public appearances.

    FULL SHOW | Former UK Prince arrested over suspected misconduct in public office; Princess Love confirms Ray J’s worrisome performance; Stefan Diggs wants back with Cardi B after breakup; Donald Trump and Nicki Minaj love affair continues during Black

    The episode kicks off with a jarring headline: Former UK Prince Andrew has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, a rare and historic development for the British monarchy. Authorities say the arrest is connected to allegations that he shared confidential government information during his time as a UK trade envoy, uncovered through newly released Epstein‑related files—an event so unprecedented that King Charles publicly expressed “deepest concern” as police raided multiple properties tied to Andrew. From global scandal to entertainment chaos, the conversation shifts to Ray J, whose alarming Valentine's Day performance—where apparent blood dripped from his eyes as he wore a chest monitor—left fans stunned. This incident followed his recent revelation that his heart is functioning at just 25%, requiring multiple medications and possible surgical intervention.   The drama continues as Stefon Diggs attempts to spin the block with Cardi B, following their widely publicized breakup before and after the Super Bowl. Though insiders say Diggs has sent pricey gifts and made overtures, Cardi publicly confirmed the split onstage, defending him from outside criticism while emphasizing that despite not “f‑‑king with [her] baby daddy,” she won’t tolerate disrespect toward him. Their breakup followed social‑media unfollows, legal troubles on Diggs’ side, and Cardi’s renewed focus on touring after welcoming their child last year. The show wraps with political sparks as Donald Trump publicly gushes over Nicki Minaj at the White House’s Black History Month reception, calling her “beautiful,” praising her “long nails,” and celebrating her as someone who “gets it”—all while Minaj continues posting AI‑generated images of herself and Trump and affirming she is his “No. 1 fan,” deepening an unexpected political alliance that has become a lightning rod online.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/rickey-smiley-morning-show  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The episode opens with a dramatic look at Ray J’s recent Valentine’s Day performance, where fans were shaken after seeing what appeared to be blood dripping from his eyes as he performed with a heart monitor strapped to his chest. Recent reports note that Ray J has publicly shared serious heart issues—including his heart functioning at only 25%—and footage from the show intensified concern as viewers questioned whether the moment was a medical emergency or theatrical staging. The conversation then shifts to Beyoncé facing online scrutiny after the daughter of her longtime stage manager alleged he was dismissed after more than 20 years of service and received no severance, sparking heated discussions about loyalty, worker protections, and the realities of entertainment‑industry labor dynamics.   From there, the show highlights Megan Thee Stallion’s glamorous 31st birthday, where she was surprised with a baby‑blue Bentley reportedly worth around $200,000, gifted by her boyfriend Klay Thompson—an eye‑catching moment that dominated entertainment headlines and social media feeds. The episode closes on an inspiring note as Jaden Smith outlines his long‑term dream of opening a permanent building on Skid Row to provide free daily meals, a continuation of his “I Love You” initiative aimed at feeding and supporting L.A.’s unhoused community, with plans extending beyond food to job creation and community upliftment.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/rickey-smiley-morning-show  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The episode opens with an emotional look into Jamie Foxx’s new breakup‑inspired single “Somebody”, which he revealed was fueled by a painful Valentine’s Day split with a Spanish-speaking ex—a heartbreak he said “messed [him] up,” as he described blinking and still seeing her face. Meanwhile, the team dives into the online uproar surrounding Michael Jordan’s viral Daytona 500 moment, where footage showed him pinching and tapping Tyler Reddick’s young son; although critics called it inappropriate, new context and closer footage suggest he was likely removing ice that had fallen into the child’s clothing during the chaotic celebration.   The show also takes time to honor the profound legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson, who passed away at 84 and is being celebrated nationwide as a towering civil rights leader, global activist, and inspiration whose decades of work—from marching with Dr. King to running historic presidential campaigns—reshaped American politics and expanded pathways for future Black leaders. The episode closes with a high‑energy highlight as J. Cole continues popping up on HBCU campuses—including Howard, Hampton, and North Carolina A&T—to personally deliver his new album The Fall Off directly from the trunk of his Honda Civic, creating nostalgic, fan‑packed moments reminiscent of his early career hustling CDs hand‑to‑hand.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/rickey-smiley-morning-show  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The episode opens with a heavy national headline as former Illinois deputy Sean Grayson is sentenced to 20 years in prison for the fatal shooting of Sonya Massey, a 36‑year‑old woman who called 911 for help before being killed in her own home. The case, which sparked widespread outrage and calls for police reform, concluded with Massey’s family expressing mixed relief and grief as they received the maximum penalty allowed under law. The show then shifts to star sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson, who was arrested in Florida after authorities clocked her at 104 mph while allegedly tailgating and weaving through lanes; she was charged under the state’s “super speeder” law and released on a $500 bond. The arrest adds to her recent string of off‑track controversies but also highlights her continued visibility following her celebrated Olympic performances.   In entertainment news, longtime reality TV fixture Basketball Wives is officially coming to an end after 12 seasons. Series creator Shaunie Henderson announced the decision as a moment of “growth,” reflecting on how the show became a cultural staple that amplified the voices and lives of women connected to the NBA while teasing her plans for new media projects ahead.

    The Rickey Smiley Morning Show dives into a charged news cycle, beginning with the U.S. military shooting down an Iranian Shahed‑139 drone that “aggressively” approached the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea — an incident that heightened already‑tense U.S.–Iran relations and occurred just hours before Iranian forces harassed a U.S.–flagged tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. In entertainment news, renewed industry chatter suggests that Wendy Williams may return to television in 2026 following a major legal victory that could soon release her from her mental‑health conservatorship, prompting serious behind‑the‑scenes talks with her former production partner, Debmar‑Mercury.   The show also explores the emotional revelations of Reshona Landfair — formerly the Jane Doe at the center of R.

Closing out the lineup, the team breaks down President Trump’s latest Oval Office controversy after he publicly scolded CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins for “not smiling” while she questioned him about Epstein survivors — an exchange that drew swift defense from journalists and renewed scrutiny of his treatment of the press.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/rickey-smiley-morning-show  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Officials say the mandate will expand nationwide as funding allows, with both bipartisan support and scrutiny shaping the rollout. Meanwhile, daytime TV gets another shake‑up as Sherri Shepherd’s syndicated talk show is officially canceled after four seasons. Producers emphasize that the decision reflects the changing daytime landscape—not a decline in the show’s performance—and say they are already exploring digital‑platform opportunities for its future.   Civil rights attorney Ben Crump joins the RSMS crew, bringing insight shaped by decades of landmark advocacy. Recently named the Top Black Newsmaker of the 21st Century due to his impact on major civil rights cases—from George Floyd to Breonna Taylor—Crump continues expanding his reach through justice‑oriented initiatives and national conversations about constitutional rights and government overreach. The show closes on a deeply urgent note as the FBI intensifies its search for Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, who authorities believe was abducted from her Arizona home.

    In this episode, the RSMS crew dives into a headline‑grabbing week in pop culture and politics, beginning with Nicki Minaj’s very public alliance with President Donald Trump. Fresh off her appearance at the Trump Accounts Summit, Minaj declared herself the President’s “No. 1 fan,” solidifying her stance while holding hands with him onstage and praising his “authentic leadership.” Recent reporting confirms she also flashed a Trump Gold Card—an elite immigration‑related status tied to major financial contributions—and pledged up to $300,000 toward Trump Accounts for her fans.   The show then turns to Ray J’s alarming health revelations, where he says doctors warned him he may only have months to live due to severe heart failure. According to recent reports, his heart is functioning at just 25%, he’s bedridden on eight medications, and he partially attributes the damage to years of alcohol, drug, and Adderall misuse. Adding lighter energy, Kelly Rowland joins the show to discuss her new film Relationship Goals, a rom‑com blending faith, love, and career challenges, where she stars alongside Method Man—a project already generating early buzz for its chemistry and heartfelt themes. Finally, the team covers politics as Rep. Ilhan Omar fires back at President Trump, who baselessly claimed she staged a recent town‑hall attack in which a man sprayed her with apple cider vinegar. Omar pointed directly to Trump’s “hateful rhetoric,” which she says consistently fuels threats against her—a pattern echoed in multiple news investigations following the incident.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/rickey-smiley-morning-show  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
