The Morning Hustle crew kicks off the episode with high energy and a packed slate, diving straight into the biggest stories shaking up entertainment and hip-hop culture. The show opens with news that Mystikal has once again been denied bond for his 2022 rape and false imprisonment case — a moment that sparks an on-air debate about why some artists remain culturally “canceled” while others still get airplay.
The Lo’Down continues with a messy rumor swirling around Ja Rule, after allegedly getting into an altercation backstage during the Boy Is Mine Tour — reportedly involving associates of rapper Max B. Even the hosts are stunned at the idea of beef breaking out at a Brandy-and-Monica R&B show. The episode also features a visit from Bow Wow, who stops through to talk touring with B2K, his daughter’s “allowance,” and new music on the way. The conversation mixes jokes with real insight into how touring relationships evolve over decades. Finally, the crew covers Megan Thee Stallion’s emotional testimony in her ongoing defamation trial against blogger Tasha K, noting Megan’s claims of online harassment, therapy costs, and the alleged role of Tory Lanez’s father in fueling anti-Meg narratives.
