"You Skrange" (w/ Fya Man & Bella Blaq)
This week I welcome on two very talented artists from America, Fya Man who is a writer and producer that has worked with Kanye, Jay Z, NLE Choppa and others. Along with Bella Blaq who's an MC from Georgia making waves through not just her bars but also unique marketing strategies.
Today we talk about that time Fya Man pranked Kanye while working on Donda. We react to some odd stories we found on the internet, like a Chicago man who is suing 27 women from the Facebook group 'Are We Dating the Same Guy?'.
Keeping on the relationships beat, we find a trend going around of women putting nicotine patches on their boyfriends so they'll be addicted to them. Also Trump supporters are now wearing Diapers in support of claims that Donald Trump wears them himself.
