The BET Awards takeover brought star power and big conversations to the Rickey Smiley Morning Show, led by Gary With Da Tea’s exclusive interviews with Johnny Gill and rising R&B star Tone Stith. Gill reflected on his legendary career while celebrating the release of his new single,“A Dance, A Kiss,” a collaboration produced by Snoop Dogg that he described as one of those rare records that instantly feels special. Recent reports note the song arrived following the success of his Billboard Adult R&B hit “One Night” and serves as a preview of more music and touring plans to come. Meanwhile, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Tone Stith discussed his journey from writing hits for artists like Chris Brown to stepping into the spotlight with his debut album The Edge, powered by his chart-topping single“Fly,” which recently reached No. 1 on the Adult R&B charts.  

The show also sparked debate when DaBaby doubled down on his belief that he belongs in the same conversation as Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole, boldly declaring himself the best rapper alive while expressing interest in collaborating with hip-hop’s elite. Elsewhere, Dr. MJ Collier’s Wellness Wednesday segment delivered important health advice, urging listeners to prioritize comprehensive physical exams, cancer screenings, cholesterol and thyroid testing, quality sleep, and preventative care. The morning’s entertainment news also highlighted The New York Times’ newly released list of the 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters, which included names such as Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, Babyface, Lionel Richie, Kendrick Lamar, OutKast, and Taylor Swift, sparking conversation about who deserved a spot on the influential list. Packed with music industry insights, health guidance, celebrity interviews, and plenty of laughs, the episode blended entertainment and empowerment in true Rickey Smiley Morning Show fashion.
