FULL SHOW | Kirk Franklin Talks Seeking Therapy and Being a Man of Faith; Grammy’s Add New Country Music Category; Tyler Perry’s “Straw” Tops Netflix Global Charts; and MORE  

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show kicks off with major legal news as a federal judge dismisses the sexual assault lawsuit involving Sean “Diddy” Combs, Odell Beckham Jr., and Druski, citing procedural failures rather than ruling on the claims themselves. The crew breaks down what the dismissal actually means, how social media reacts when high-profile names are involved, and why due process matters—especially in cases that impact real survivors and public trust. 

The conversation then shifts to love, money, and modern relationships after rapper The Game sparks debate by claiming men should spend at least $5,000 a month on their woman, igniting strong opinions from the RSMS crew and listeners alike. Meanwhile, TJ Holmes and Amy Robach make it clear they’re enjoying their engagement without rushing to the altar, pushing back against public expectations. The show closes on a serious note as police release a photo of a second person of interest connected to the Brown University shooting, with updates on the ongoing investigation and calls for community awareness as authorities continue their search.
