This episode of The Morning Hustle Podcast with Lore’l, Kyle Santillian, and Alton Walker kicks off with high energy and a packed rundown of entertainment, drama, and inspiring moments from across the culture. 

In the Lo’Down, Lore’l starts with an update on Ray J, who recently revealed on social media that he was hospitalized with his heart functioning at only 25 percent. Now out of the hospital, Ray J credits prayer, family support, and a new commitment to sobriety for helping him turn things around. Lore’l and Alton discuss whether this could truly be the start of a more stable, drama‑free chapter for him. 

Next up, it’s nothing but celebration as Rihanna congratulates A$AP Rocky, whose new album just debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200—his first chart‑topper since 2015. The team highlights how Rocky is having a major moment both personally and professionally, with Rihanna cheering him on publicly and fans embracing his return to music. 

Things get heavier as Lore’l covers the shocking viral video of comedian Corey Holcomb punching fellow comedian Christina Payne in the face. With Alton personally knowing Christina, the hosts break down Corey’s attempt to justify the incident, the lack of reason behind the attack, and why the comedy community has been slow to speak out. The team makes it clear: no matter the argument, hitting a woman is unacceptable. 

Outside the Lo’Down, the episode also dives into: 

• A Help A Hustler segment about actor Djimon Hounsou’s messy breakup and house dispute. 

• A lively Cash Grab game where a listener wins $1,000. 

• Sports updates, including Stefan Diggs’ emotional reaction to heading to the Super Bowl. 

• A powerful and emotional edition of News You Can Use covering the fatal shooting of Alex Priddy by ICE agents in Minnesota. 

• Motivation, jokes, and classic Morning Hustle chaos throughout.
