Big entertainment and cultural headlines drove the conversation on this episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast. The crew discussed the announcement that Snoop Dogg’s long-awaited biopic, Snoop, is set to hit theaters on August 6, 2027, with Outer Banks star Jonathan Daviss portraying the rap icon. They also celebrated Ms. Cathy Hughes, founder of Urban One, who joined the show after receiving the Key to the City of Washington, D.C., one of the city’s highest honors. During the interview, Hughes reflected on building Urban One from a single radio station into the nation’s largest Black-owned multimedia company and shared her commitment to amplifying Black voices and telling the community’s stories from its own perspective.  

The show also unpacked the latest developments in two high-profile legal stories. NBA star Anthony Edwards reportedly reached a resolution in his child support case in Georgia, with a judge setting monthly support payments following a lengthy court battle over jurisdiction and custody matters. Meanwhile, the legal fight surrounding Wendy Williams’ documentary has officially come to an end after her guardian and A&E reached a settlement, though Williams continues her efforts to regain control over her personal affairs and end her guardianship. Alongside these headline-making topics, the show delivered its usual mix of laughs, wellness advice, celebrity news, and inspiration, making for another engaging morning with the RSMS crew.
