It was another headline-heavy Morning Hustle as the crew tackled culture, controversy, and celebrity moments that had everyone talking. The Lo’Down kicked off with Instacart facing backlash after a Consumer Reports investigation revealed AI-driven price differences, with some shoppers paying up to 23% more for the same groceries depending on location and profile—raising serious concerns about fairness, transparency, and price gouging at a time when food costs are already sky-high.
The conversation then shifted to 21 Savage calling for unity in Atlanta, as the rapper publicly urged artists like Quavo, Offset, Future, and others to squash beefs for the sake of the city’s legacy and culture. The crew debated whether public pressure actually helps heal real-life conflicts or just adds fuel to already tense situations. Wrapping things up, the show discussed a viral moment from Mariah Carey’s concert, where a fan was caught on camera telling Rihanna to sit down while she was standing and cheering—sparking jokes, disbelief, and commentary about audacity, celebrity etiquette, and why you never play with Rihanna in public.
