Tracy T sits down with Loon on It’s Up There Podcast to address the Kash Doll and Za’Darius Smith breakup, the viral tuition post, and the online backlash that followed.

After Kash Doll and NFL player Za’Darius Smith publicly split, social media reactions exploded — especially after Tracy T made comments about paying tuition, which led to heavy criticism, blog coverage, and direct responses from Kash Doll herself. In this interview, Tracy T explains what actually happened, why the situation escalated, and how private family matters turned into public controversy.

Tracy T also speaks on Big Jook, his connection to CMG, and why conversations around Memphis feel different following the Young Dolph trial. He breaks down how street realities, industry politics, and internet narratives collided at the same time, creating one of the most talked-about situations online.

This episode provides full context around the Kash Doll situation, the Za’Darius Smith drama, and Tracy T’s role in the conversation — directly from the source, without blog speculation.
