The Rickey Smiley Morning Show kicked off with celebration and controversy: Rolling Stone named Missy Elliott’s 2001 anthem “Get Ur Freak On” the top song of the 21st century, praising its genre-blending sound, daring production, and lasting cultural impact. Later, Alexis Ohanian confronted Stephen A. Smith over comments Smith made about Serena Williams during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl set—calling out Smith for overstepping by giving marriage advice when he’s never walked that path himself. 

And in a powerful close, civil rights attorney Ben Crump took aim at the Jacksonville Police Department, highlighting systemic issues in law enforcement and calling for accountability and change in communities too often ignored.
