It’s Messy Mental Health Monday on Mornings With Mero! Mero, Mia Belle, Kaz, Shani Culture and DJ Kast One get into a real conversation about men’s mental health and the different ways men and women are treated when dealing with mental health struggles. Mero opens up about anxiety, ADHD and the pressure men can feel to keep pushing through instead of being given space to work through what they’re experiencing. The crew also discusses how mental health can affect the way the public views celebrities and whether men are given enough understanding when they struggle publicly.

Kanye West becomes a major example of that conversation as the crew talks about his public behavior, mental health struggles and the importance of context while still holding people accountable for their actions. The show also brings the usual Monday energy with Hip Hop Jeopardy, where callers battle through East Coast Hip Hop, R&B, Southern Hip Hop and culture questions, including a caller winning tickets to see Chris Brown and Usher. Plus, plenty of jokes, opinions and unpredictable Mornings With Mero moments to kick off the week!
