This, uh today a lot these jay Z accusations. Do you think people should not be reporting on this because I see some some type of like listen, why would you report on this type of thing?

What's in the news? And jay Z responded, So I think it's only right for us to document.

It, right right? He did respond, He did a whole response to it.

Yes, all right.

Well, we also have some special guests joining us today. Brandon T. Jackson a lottery ticket.

Listen.

He's got a new movie that he actually developed film, did all of that, and he's starring Unick.

It's called Trap City.

It comes out on Friday, and it was funded by telg Nation, who also directed it.

He'll be joining us as well to talk about it.

But when I tell you, he's got a lot going on does he Oh my goodness, wait till you hear what he has to say today. But let's shine a light eight hundred two nine fifty one fifty Call us up.

Let us know who you want to shine a light on. It's way up.

Turn your lights on, y'allspreading love to those who are doing greatness.

Shine a light on, Shine a light on. It's time to shine.

A light on him all right, his way up with angela yee, I'm here, my God beat out his here.

Uh And today I want to shine a light on.

Jina JJ Patton right, and software engineering author Antoine Patton. They have a book called Dear Dad, Growing Up with a Parent in Prison and How We Stay Connected that came out in September. But it's a graphic novel and it talks about her life growing up with the dad in and out of prison. She said she remembers her dad being in prison as far back as nine years old, growing up in Buffalo, New York with her mom and younger brother. She only went to visit him twice, but they did send each other a lot of letters. But they ended up developing an app. It's a photo patch app to connect children with incarcerated parents, and that was inspired by her own experience with her father. So it's free communication for families with imprisoned parents.

Oh wow, that's a beautiful thing.

Imagine that something that inspired you, that is able to help so many other people. Her experience as a kid and having to deal with her father and then writing a book about it as well. And so shout out to JJ Patton and her father Antoine. They have also Generation Impact, the Coder to new short film series that spotlights young entrepreneurs using technology to break barriers.

They were featured on that as well. They founded Unlock Academy.

It's an in person and online coding school that mentors young people interested in STEM careers.

That's awesome. I love to see father and daughters working together. I could bare to get my daughter to give me a hug these days.

I can't blame her. All right, Well, Amanda, who do you want to shine a light on?

I wanted to shine a light on me and my children, but I'm actually here at work and I think I want to shine a light on my ladies here in the cafeteria.

Okay, all right, talk to us.

Well, we're we served an elementary. We save about seven hundred students a day. But they're just really hard workers. They all just show up every day and do their best, and I really appreciate them. And I think there's a lot of discredit towards the cafeteria ladies.

I always have loved the cafeteria ladies growing up. All right, well, shout out to all of you guys for working so hard.

It's such an important job. We appreciate it.

Thank you, missie.

You have a great day.

Happy holidays.

Thank you you too, Happy holidays. All right, Well, that was shining light. Eight hundred and two nine two fifty one fifty is a number. If you couldn't get through, you could still leave a message that way. And when we come back, jay Z, we'll talk about this Aki and what his response is said. He don't be responding to stuff, no worry, so you know this is serious for him, like donuts me or my name and I know Blue Ivc's all this all right, Well, we got yet when we come back, it's way up.

This says proof in the rooms from industry shade to all of gossip.

How Angela's spiling that et.

It's way up And Angela, yee, I'm here beat out here, Well, it was beat.

Out whe else? Would I be where else?

Because we got to talk about these jay Z allegations today, huh. Now, we talked about this earlier when the show first started, about people feeling like it's irresponsible for black media to be reporting on this the way that it is. But it's not taken aside. It's reporting on what's happening. And jay Z has responded. So, jay Z is being sued for drugging and raping a thirteen year old girl in a lawsuit that's also tied to Diddy. If you guys recall, this was originally a lawsuit that was filed in October. This woman says that Diddy and an unnamed celebrity assaulted her while an unnamed female watch. We don't know who that unnamed female that she's alleging did this is, but now the accuser has named jay Z as the other celebrity in this alleged assault.

We have to keep on saying this is all alleged.

Now, jay Z's reps, Rock Nation, did post a comment.

They did a statement.

I said, my lawyer received a blackmail attempt called the demand letter from a lawyer named Tony Busby. You know, Tony Busby represents a lot of these women who are also alleging that did he sexually assaulted them. What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle, No, sir, it had the opposite effect. It made me want to expose you for the forge you are in a very public fashion. So no, I will not give you one red penny. These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to follow a criminal complaint. Not a civil woman, whoever would commit such a crime against the minor should be locked away. Would you not agree these alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case. This lawyer, who have done a bit of research on teams to have a pattern of these type of theatrics, and so jay Z's statement goes on to say, my only heartbreak is for my family. My wife and I will have to set our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions.

Like you said, you know, as broadcast as we have to be objective in our reporting. Boy, if you believe this, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you well.

Tony Busby has since responded regarding the jay Z case and his efforts to silence my clients. Mister Carter previously denied being the one who sued me in my firm. He filed his frivolous case under a pseudonym. What he fails to say in his recent statement is my firm census lawyer a demand letter on behalf of an alleged victim, and that victim never demanded a penny from him. Instead, she only sought a confidential mediation. Now I did a deep dive yes to find out what a confidential mediation is exactly. And it's a process where all communications, discussions, and negotiations are protected from disclosure, so nothing said or shared during mediation can be used as evidence in court or shared with outside parties without consent. It's considered essential to the effectiveness of mediation the confidentiality part. The mediator is also bound by confidentiality restrictions, and then the notes are destroyed after the mediation is complete and there's no formal rules of evidence, there's no witnesses. It's a quick way to resolve a dispute. Often taking less time than an investigation.

I like how Jay responded, especially with the last sentence.

He's how I look forward to showing you how different I am because Tony Buzzby, in my opinion, is illegal. He's a glorified legal aid and his track record is more than suspect.

Well.

Tony Buzzby went on to say, I'm still that guy. I won't be bullied or intimidated. People will see through this effort to discredit me and my clients, and the truth will be revealed. I also won't allow anyone to scare my clients into silence. And he said sunlight is the best disinfectant and quite certain the sun is coming. Fifty cent chimed in and he just posted, Okay, I don't know what's going on, but are we going to still have the Super Bowl? I'm just asking for friend And you know he's been having things to say about jay Z blocking him from trying to block him from performing at the Super Bowl previously. Meek Mill is also weighing in on all of this. Of course he is yes, so he wants to make sure that he's able to help and assist with jay Z. The goal is to start a false narrative to create a matrix web. If you can control the storyline, you can control the matrix. American media is totally unbelievable. I see jay Z, a thirteen year old girl three hundred times scrolling. It's called programming matrix web.

Mee.

Sounds like Morpheus right now?

All right, well that is your yeeee. When we come back, we have about last night. That's where we discussed what we did over the weekend. But right now let's get into some Rihanna and jay Z. Marilla is way up.

So about last night, Yes, I went down.

All right, it's way up with Angela. Yee, I'm here. And of course, my guy, beat I is what'd you do over the weekend? Beat Up?

I didn't do much.

I mean last night though, I just stayed at the crib and I did a deep dive in the in the bathroom.

I cleaned the back.

I was like it took a colonic No. No, no, I just scrubbed the tub, drop the kids off at the pool.

No.

I was cleaning like an legal housekeeper.

So uh, there's nothing nicer than having your house super clean. Yes, by the way, best fail you having company or something?

Just why black people you know, you gotta be doing so they can't be hygienic men.

Okay, let's be clean.

By the way, so I've been getting a bit into the holiday spirit. Okay, So I was listening to some by the way, I was telling you guys earlier, I loved Jesse Ray is his new Christmas song, Santa's Fake just like most people. Marry Nothing is the name, Marry Nothing like a Grinch. That's a merry Christmas song. But I also did watch this b et plus holiday movie is called Style Me for Christmas starring Mario all Right.

I don't know if you had a chance to see that.

I barely have a television what but are you recommending it to me?

If you, I'm like, you know, Christmas movies are always what they are, but feel good thing, all right?

And it was.

Yeah, so I watched the whole thing. I was entertained while I was watching it.

My favorite Christmas kind of movie is like die Hard or like that. That's a Christmas movie?

Right?

Is that considered a Christmas movie?

Yes?

Yeah, see I would never have looked at it that way.

There you go. And also like Home Alone as well, So those are like my favorite.

Okay, home alone. I see that. My favorite Christmas movie.

I want to say, of course, I like The Grinch, The Grinch, Yes, yeah, I mean one.

I like a Christmas Carol.

Christmas Carol. There's a move called Christmas Carol.

Yeah.

Oh Scrooge, Oh Screwge.

Okay, you know it is Scrooge. You know the other thing I did.

I'm glad you said that because I also have the Christmas Carol book. But over the weekend, you know, I've been trying to get my house together, and I ordered these bookshelves back in like June, and they finally showed up.

So I was going through a bunch of books that I have.

I have bookshelves like all over in my house, but these are my main bookshelves.

I love them. I'm gonna post a picture of them. They're very flap because they are amazing. I love them.

But anyway, I was looking through all of the books I have, and it took me so long to put things away because I was like really like flipping through things, reminiscing the variety of books that I own. It's crazy. I have Are You Still a Slave? By Shahrazad Ali?

Have you read that?

No?

I have that I'm living it.

It's all the biographical but anyway, just a lot of different books. I have all of the Nicky Turner books, Streetlet, all of the Zane Presents books. But then I have every Shakespeare play. Wow, I'm very versatile, y'all get both? All right, Well, tell us a secret when we come back. Eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty.

It is a number. You know what time it is. It's time for you to tell us something.

There's no judgment, right, we listen and don't judge a little bit. Tell us a secret. Eight hundred two fifty one fifty. Any secret that you have, you're anonymous, beat out and I are not here to judge you.

We're just here to be good listeners. It's way up, Oh, way up.

This is a judgment free zone.

Tell us a secret.

It's way up at Angeloue. I'm here, beat out here.

Well, beat out.

How you whispering, because it's tell us his secret. And that's how you tell secrets. You whisper.

You don't scream them these days people screamshot them.

Those two.

Well, we want to hear your secrets, and we're not gonna judge you. And you get to remain anonymous. It's eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty anonymous.

Carlaire.

What's your secret?

So me and my fiance is getting married next year, Well, me and his brother has been having an affair and I love him more, but I don't know how to tell him.

You're having a favor with your fiancees brother. You're getting married next year, but you love his brother more?

Yes, I feel like he's my soulmate.

Well let's start with let's not get married next year, let's keep it all in the family.

Well, I still want to get married, just not to him, but to his brother.

Okay, can you come to the wedding question? So how did this start?

Well, his brother and I we went to high school together, so he pretty much introduced me to his brother, and then from there we just been going DA didn't on it off, and then we finally decided, you know, we wanted to be together. But I truly feel in my heart he's not the one I want to be with.

You make me want to leave the one i'm with. Did you always have a thing for his brother?

Originally it's always for him.

He's always for my priority. I feel like secretly I just wanted to be with his brothers, just like to stay closer.

Wow, you been with that?

I know it's wrong. Well we've been together for a year and a half.

Okay, I'm we're not here to judge you.

We listen and don't judge, but I will say that you should just, at the minimum, don't marry somebody you're not in love with.

Right, But it's not going to work out because if I do decide to be with the brother, the family won't to spet me.

You ain't got to be with either one of them, But don't be with the person you don't. I can't even imagine being married to somebody who I love their brother.

For real, at least you know before you got married.

Does the brother have the same feelings for you that you have for.

Well, he tells me all the time he's going to come clean. He fancies loved me, he always loved me, but he don't want to hurt his brother.

This is like the five heartbeats.

But yeah, if his brother tells, it's gonna tear the family apart, are you ready for that?

I think we way beyond that point. I think I'm ready to tell.

Okay, I didn't tell, but maybe, yeah, should you do it before Christmas?

I don't know.

What do you think if.

You do it before Christmas?

Don't go to that particular gathering his brother.

And now we're going to brunch right now, so I guess I'll wait.

Maybe you think his brother should tell him first, or she should.

I think, you know, we should do it before the New year, new slate, wipe it clean.

If it was me, I would break up with my fiance now, like before the holiday. And I don't know that I would tell him why right away, because what if it doesn't work out?

Right? But then what if he sees her with him?

Then you tell? I think eventually, But I think first, let's break up and get that out the way. Or would you do it all at once?

I don't know. I feel like I just have to let this peep it go onto the conoqueen, Let's see what the universe. Let's happened, all right.

Don't keep that engagement going though, Yeah, definitely don't do that. Don't spend them holidays with someone you don't want to be with.

You're right, you're right, Thank you so much, all right, good.

Luck, see me, listen, and don't.

Judge, sounds like one of those stories from one of your novels that you put up on your bookshelving.

Neo was on the Gold Dimes podcast and he wants you to know he don't care if you have an issue with his polygamous lifestyle.

Here's what he had to say.

A lot of women try to like, shame you for feeling like that.

Oh, you can't shame me unless I care.

I so desperately need the world to know how much of a I don't give about what they think, about what they say.

Like, I am one locked into the reality that.

This life is mine and I to live this the way I want to live it. Okay, well, one woman is expensive to our dependence.

Well do you well he likes a miss you know independent?

All right, now let's talk about the Golden Globe nominees. The nominations are in announced by Mindy Kayling and Morris Chestnut. All right right, they just announced this today at eight fifteen am during a press conference. Now, Selena Gomez went on her ig stories to share her shock over her nominations for Amelia. They got the most nominations ten and I have not even watched that.

It's on Netflix.

A Mexican lawyer is offered an unusual job to help a notorious cartel boss retire and transition into living as a woman, fulfilling a long held desires.

Ay, I know, well test it.

That's unique.

But yes, they got the most ten nominations, followed by the brutalist which got seven, and Conclave, which got six. This is gonna all take place on Sunday, January fifth on CBS and on Paramount plus some other nominees. Donald Glover was nominated for Mister and Missus Smith. For Best Performance by a Male Actor in a TV Series. Billy Bob Thornton was also nominated. Jake Gillenhall in that category Best Television Limited Series, Anthology or Motion Picture Made for TV Baby Reindeer.

A lot of these things, like I haven't had a chance to watch, but now I feel like I have to. Selena Gomez was also nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy for Only Murders in the Building.

Oh my god, I would love that for him. We love us some, Denzel, don't we give hm motivational speech? Oh yeah, Denzel? Best Performance by a mal actor. All right, well that is your yeetie. When we come back, we have under the radar. These are the stories that are not necessarily in the headlines. They are flying under the radar, but you definitely need to know about them now. No, I try to do other things, but we got to talk about some of the things that Donald Trump is saying that he plans to do once he is in office.

It's way up.

News.

This in the news that relates to you. These stories are flying under the radar, all right.

It's way up with Angela Yee, I'm here beat out here all right. Now, his first interview since the election, this is under the radar, Donald Trump told NBC News Meet the Press that and I think we all knew this that he's planning to part in the January sixth rioters.

And here's what he had to say.

I'm going to be acting very quickly within your first one hundred days, first day, first day.

These people have been there, how long is it three or four years?

And they're in a filthy, disgusting place that shouldn't even be allowed to be open.

Jill sucks, hm.

I mean they did something illegal though, right, well, so shouldn't they be in a place. I mean, do you care about other people who are in filthy places or maybe cleaning up the jail so they're not filthy, but they're really a place that's going to rehabilitate people.

Isn't that what it's supposed to be.

Well, it's good for the gooses and good for the gander.

All right. Now.

Trump is also saying that he plans to end birthright citizenship, and he says American citizens with family here illegally.

May be deported.

So even if I was born here and I'm a citizen but my parents weren't, they could deport me as well as you know, well, I would be going with my family, because the main thing here is you don't want to rip families apart.

Here's what he said.

You've promised to end birthright citizenship on day one. Is that still your plan?

Yeah?

The fourteenth Amendment, though, says that quote all persons born in the United States are citizens. Can you get around the fourteenth Amendment? Within this can change?

Would maybe have to go back to the people.

But we have to end it with the only country that has it. I was going to do it through executive action, but then we had to fix COVID first.

To be honest with you, it's a controversial topic.

I we're not the only country that has it, well, one of the few, Yeah, Canada France. Most Latin American countries also have that as well.

We are a nation of I.

Can't imagine if I've been living here for fifteen years and this is the only place I know. I was born here, lived here my whole life, went to school here, all my friends were here, and now I'm told my parents have to move back and I have to leave a place where I've lived my whole life.

I guess the parents should have that's the right way.

To That's really difficult to say, you know. So, and some people have been waiting a really long time to get their citizenship because it's a long and expensive process.

It's not cheap.

So imagine you're already here, you can't even work to get the money that you need to pay for that process. Oh man, we had this woman up here who was talking about the issues that she went through when she was trying to get her citizenship and having to pay a lawyer, and how her lawyer raped her and she never told anybody because she didn't feel she felt powerless. Yeah, I mean, that's awful, the things that people have to go through and the money that it costs to even try to do things.

Even talking to people like hood celebrity.

If you watch the interview that I did with her when she talked about the issues that she went through just being here until she was able to get her a citizenship and how people took advantage of the fact that she couldn't work, she couldn't go to school, she couldn't get a car, things were not in her name.

It's not an easy process.

That's complicated for sure.

All right, Well that is you're under the radar now, you know. We have the Way It mixed at the top of the hour plus starring in Trap City.

This is his movie. Brandon T.

Jackson is going to be joining us alongside Telga Nation, who is the person that actually funded and directed this movie.

It's coming out on Friday. It's way up. It's a tout.

They Angela like they angela man.

She's spilling it all. This is yet.

Way it's way up at Angela. Yee, I'm here beat out t Let's get into this yet. But first breaking news what a person of interest is being detained in the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Law enforcement sources are telling TMZ this is a man in Altoona, Pennsylvania, who's being held in uh for questioning and connection.

Mmm.

So they said that local police responded they got a tip a person of interest was seen in the McDonald's.

He had a similar gun as the one used in the murder.

And so the story is still developing, but we will keep you updated as news is coming.

In Olivia and Stable would a found of days ago.

People are like, how could something like this happen? They have pictures they have that they have this and that. Okay, Now Yandy Smith is blasting men DC JUNR for spray painting cheater on her car.

It was a prank for YouTube. And here's what happened. Some things you just don't play with.

So guess who's on punishment now, and guess who has to give my car a car wash inside and out then has to work at the restaurant tomorrow nine am at the restaurant tomorrow. Because it's some things you don't play with. You don't play YouTube for my car. So now YouTube jokes on you.

Still, man, it's a YouTube prank. These kids these days.

At least it wasn't real spray paint all right now, Keishako, speaking of kids these days, she says that her son DJ spend quite a bit of money on some video games. Yes, and here is what she had to say about that.

The lady came and told me, you know, DJ spent eighteen thousand dollars this year on games.

I said, what how do you even do that?

The past?

My mother knows adoption, that's the only reason.

The other thing, I will say, maybe he could make some video some money being a gamer, and then it all makes sense.

It's an investment.

My daughter extorts me for those roadblocks games all the time.

And Jalil White was recently talking about he was at Wilmington Library and he was talking about how he feels left out when it comes to the legacy of black entertainment and family matters and how it would rank last behind all of these favorite black shows.

Here's what he said.

Being a part of the TGIF brand makes you feel like you don't completely belong in the pantheon of blackness.

You know, blackness has been treated as a very monolithic.

Experience in entertainment. You know, if it's not a hood story, it's not a black story. And you know, sometimes I feel left out of that.

I don't know that that's necessarily true.

And now there is Martin. Mart we were talking about Rock. You got so excited when I was if anybody remembers that show? I say, what about Rock?

You said, I love Rock?
