On today’s episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast, the team dives into a series of headline‑making stories shaking up pop culture, sports, and politics. Kanye West resurfaces with a full‑page Wall Street Journal apology addressing years of antisemitic remarks and erratic behavior, attributing his actions to a long‑undiagnosed frontal‑lobe injury and a four‑month manic episode in 2025. Meanwhile, fans are buzzing over Venus Williams’ marriage to actor and former model Andrea Preti, questioning her long‑stated “must have a job” rule after reports reveal little recent professional work from him, despite their love story and lavish multi‑city celebrations.  

The conversation continues with rapper Chingy finally opening up about how a single photo with media personality Sidney Starr spiraled into a false relationship rumor that derailed his career for years, costing him deals and opportunities despite Starr later admitting she fabricated the claims. And in political headlines, President Donald Trump says he will not attend the upcoming Super Bowl, citing travel distance while simultaneously criticizing performers Bad Bunny and Green Day as a “terrible choice” that “sows hatred,” fueling ongoing cultural tensions around the event.
