RSMS Hour 4 | Essence Fest huge money maker for New Orleans 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/78a347aa-3282-4ac5-837c-a72300032082/clips/8ba7e934-07f5-403c-bb88-b47f012c869f/transcript

From a stunning federal search to old celebrity drama and a history-making comedy milestone, this episode keeps the headlines moving and the laughs coming. The Rickey Smiley Morning Show crew examines the court-authorized search of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington-area home by Homeland Security Investigations in an ongoing criminal probe focused on immigration paperwork completed when she was a child; Omar has not been charged, denies wrongdoing and calls the action political intimidation. The team also breaks down Cassie Ventura’s effort to permanently dismiss Clayton Howard’s $35 million lawsuit, with her attorneys arguing that his latest claims conflict with earlier filings; a judge previously dismissed the claims against Ventura but allowed another amendment, and a hearing is scheduled for October 21. 

On the lighter side, Saweetie brushes off Quavo’s renewed explanation for taking back the customized Bentley he gave her before their 2021 breakup, questioning why the story is still being discussed and saying she is glad he found God; the crew turns the moment into a spirited debate over whether gifts should ever be reclaimed after a relationship ends. Plus, Druski is reportedly headed to Studio 8H for the November 7 episode of Saturday Night Live, a booking that would make the viral comedian the show’s first host primarily known for work as a digital creator. The episode also celebrates Rickey Smiley’s Radio Hall of Fame induction, with Rickey crediting faith, service, discipline and the show’s community impact for the milestone.
