You know, there's always been love, but now you know, she works with me and I get to introduce her to cool people like you and give her more opportunities.
Yeah, I love paying because she's been going.
Like personally, she's very open about everything and she has a regular day job, but she grinds real hard on the side doing her comedy and she's so funny.
But she's also just a nice, sweet person.
She's so nice, man, She's just a genuine person, a really good person. And even through all the stuff she goes through, she smiles through it. And you know, big things. I told Paim one day, i'ma be working for her. She's gonna be doing something big soon.
She needs to show about her life because her relate everything that she she'd be like Angela does.
It like she's just so.
But it's very I think reflective of somebody that's relatable because I'd be.
Like, man, we do the same thing. Pam, Just Pam, Well, shout out to you, comedian, Just Pam. We love you. Now, Jamie, who do you want to shine a light on today? I'm shining light on my son.
He got his first job.
What's his name?
Hi, Sean?
Okay, he's in basketball, so he's been doing practice. He got his job and going to school. So I'm so proud of he's going really wild.
Kind of light on him today to let him know that.
I love need the great kids. What great is he in? He's in the eleventh great. Oh, so he about to have some money where he's going to school.
You better know it.
Some out of my pocket.
I know that's good.
And it feels like he wants to work and make his own money, so that's dope.
All right.
Well, Jamie, thank you so much for calling.
I love that you're so proud of your son and he's doing everything that he needs to be doing to handle.
He's gonna be taking care of you.
Yes, ma'am, I pray saw I know it.
Thank you so much.
All right, thank you, Jamie.
I appreciates random.
All right, take care, you're so ready. Bye bye, and let's keep the love going for the women. When we come back. We got to yet, we'll talk about Doci all of her recent accomplishments.
Amazing things happening for Doci. We love to see it. It's way up, they say in the rooms.
From industry Shade to all of gos apout. Angela's feeling that.
All right as way up, buddy, Angela. Yee, I'm here, my guy naim Lynn is here. Let's get right into some yet. Now we were telling you about Doci, right, So Doci just had an amazing, amazing weekend. Now one thing she did that went viral, and I want to talk about this for a second. She was on Hot Ones verses with DJ Miss Milan and she answered a question about her biggest dating red flag.
Here is what happened.
What's my biggest dating red flag? You know, it's so crazy.
I was gonna say, Lyn, I mean strike one. You're mad?
Yeah, yeah, So people were so mad about this, her saying heterosexual man, what do you think about that?
It's crazy? But look, I mean I'm glad, I'm kind of we talked about it, so I'm getting the backstory on it to really understand it. But just as that clip, it sounds insane, like if you're going to deal with a man, why would you not want him to be heterosexual?
Well, she's bisexual.
Yeah, So for her, she probably wants somebody that's and she's dated bisexual man and she's talked about that, and so she probably wants somebody that's just really open minded and fluid like she is. I don't think she means a red flag for everybody. I think she means for herself. This is what she prefers, just like there's a lot of men out there that like bisexual women. There's a lot of men that will be like, I can't be with a woman who doesn't want to be with other women.
Yeah, I get that, but calling it a red flag is crazy for her. Yeah, I mean, why can't you just be I don't like that A red flag.
Is a little all right.
Well, another news, she had an amazing weekend because Laurence Hill brought her out to perform do Wop that thing that was at Jazz in the Gardens Music Festival. And here's what that sounded like, all right.
She talked about this in an interview with The Cut.
She said that Lauren Hill's only solo studio album was important to her. She said, the feeling that I have when I listened to the Miseducation of Lauren Hill is the same feeling I want other black little girls to have when she listens when they listen to me.
And so she said that's why she talks about her feelings.
But after going on stage with Laurence Hill, she posted, thank you, miss Laurence Hill.
Thank you.
My heart is so full. She is my hero. This is the greatest honor hip hop could give me.
You think if Lauren Hill dropped another album at this point, would it be like coming to America too?
I don't know. It would depend on what that album. I heard she has a full album done, that's the rumor.
So to go without an album this long and you put out a classic is like, at this point, do you just not put something else out?
She doesn't need to, because she clearly could go on tour just off of the Miseducation and Fuji songs forever, I feel like, But I do think that there's enough people that would love to work with Lauren Hill alone that she could put something classic together again.
I think if she decided to come out with something else, she should start by doing some collapse with other people and do some guest appearances on some songs. See what that's saying.
Everybody would love to work with Lauren Yeah, and Dochi also, by the way, was named the twenty twenty five Women of the Year by Billboard. So all of the things. Wow, all right, well that is your YIETI. When we come back, we have about last night.
Naim I want to.
Talk about what you did over the weekend, because I know you had a phenomenal weekend, and I tell you what I did as well.
But right now, oh, let's hear some Fuji. It's another classic. Here's some Laurie Hill killing me softly. It's way out time.
So about last night, kids that I went down.
All right, as way I put into la yee. I'm here with my guy naim Land, who had a very active weekend.
That's right about last night. So tell us what your weekend was like.
Man, I just did my shows at Radio City Music Hall, slapped them around a little bit, had a good time, and that was pretty much it. I've been taking it easy.
Most comedians are never going to make it into Radio City Music Hall. It's a rare thing. Yeah, just celebrate that to yourself.
So this is my second time performing. I think I think we did it like in twenty ten or twenty eleven. Then after that we start doing the arenas the Garden. It's a bittersweet feeling like it's awesome to be like I performed at all these amazing places, but I'm not the one that's selling the tickets, you know, I do the shows with Kevin hart So I'm just grateful and I look at those opportunities as it's just a chance me to make new fans and just have a good time. You know, it's no pressure on me at all. If I stink it up, anybody canna remember, No.
They will, you know who? Because people will.
But sometimes you know, it is a big responsibility to get the crowd, like, you know, the energy high. Because the last thing, Kevin Hartwood wanted to come on stage and everybody's like, huh, where is he?
Yeah, right right, and it's three of us. It's actually we performed for an hour before he even goes up, so we have to and I'm the third person, so I definitely have to give a good performance to keep their attention because they, you know, they don't know a lot of people don't know that there's so many opening comedians.
Right.
People got their money's worth though, Oh absolutely to come and get that the plastic cup boys on first for an hour because you'll have your own special and everything too. So yep, and people come out to see just you guys as well. So that's a blessing. Well, congratulations on that. I just sometimes we got to like celebrate ourselves too.
Yeah. I think it's one of those things that you know, when when this is over and done, maybe fifteen years from now, I'll look back, I'm like, Wow, we did a lot, Like we traveled around the world and performed in any major venue that you can think of. You know a lot of history in these buildings.
Are you working on your own special?
Now?
Another one?
Well? I put one out last year. It's on YouTube. It's called Mister Big Stuff. And so when I work with him, I only get to do a half hour on stage. So unless I put out another half hour special, it's going to take some time to build another twenty to twenty five minutes. Because when you don't have the stage time, you're not really working on more jokes like that. You know, it doesn't make sense. You're not gonna get to.
Tell them all right, Well for me, I actually on Friday I did a women build day for Habitat for Humanity.
You know, it's International Women's Day.
Was on Saturday, but because they don't have permits to work in these houses on the weekend, they did it on Friday. It was an amazing experience. First of all, I love Habitat for Humanity. They provide housing for people. For a lot of people their first time ever getting a home. They got it because of Habitat for Humanity. Dan, why are you laughing? Because I was, uh, you're swinging that axe.
Listen. We were digging for hours.
When I tell you, my whole shoulders back, everything was sore. But we had to actually dig out the pipes in the basement to get rid of these old pipes. I had a sledgehammer and I was cracking up the pipes. It was so heavy.
Posture is terrible, they said to They were like, don't.
One of the tips was let the sledgehammer do the work and don't try to like you have to kind of like drop it and let it do the work for you.
So I learned that. How's your back feeling, I feel actually okay. I took a steam shower.
All right, all right, Well, anyway, tell us the secret is next eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty is a number.
Call us up. Any secret you have we want to hear. It's a no judgment zone.
Y'all need to press Naim and you got to impress him, not press him. You got to impress him with your secrets today, right and go viral eight hundred nine.
Two fifty one fifty.
It's going to be hard for him to not judge because it's written all over his face. But eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty. We listen, we don't judge. Call us up, tell us a secret. It's way up.
This is a judgment freeze all. Tell us the secret.
All right, it's the way you put it into La Yee and Naim Lynn comedian extraordinary, Miss the Big Stuff is here guest hosting today.
What's up?
And are you ready to hear these secrets? Because I know you have. I don't feel like you've never done.
Tell us a secret?
I have not?
All right, So people are going to call us up.
They're anonymous, and we don't judge it, right, that's the rule. Okay, all right, I write anonymous, call it tell us a secret.
My secret is said, I'm straight, but I'll deal with a woman.
Multiple times.
I just wanted So then why do you identify it straight instead of bisexual? Because that was when I was young, But when I got older, that was something that.
I was not interested in more men, and I also ended up getting married.
Okay, you ever told your husband?
Yeah?
I did. Would you do it again?
No?
No?
Is it a religious reason why you stopped doing it? Or it just it just got over it? It wasn't you passed it through?

I feel like you might have got a couple more in you.
No, no, mo, cause I don't got changed and everything.
No, I can't go down earth. I don't even desire super real.
Okay, all right, that's fair. You did it, get past it, different phase of life, that's all right. But thank you for sharing anonymous color.
What's your secret?
Okay?
Trying?
Where did you see this guy?
And we went over through his house and your pator, you know, but my stomach was messed up the dinner we had that night I went to I went to that girl, and I had my breathing everything ready to go, but I blew that thing up. And I was so embarrassed because this toilet got caught.
So what happened was stuff just floating in there?
Girl?
What is his? Is his bathroom or your bathroom?
It was his.
You gotta do courtesy flush when you got somebody else criby, you know, dot man?
Did you the pipes was old?
Like it was a really old Brownstone, and I don't think he's been keeping up for the piping was.
Terrible, terrible?
Dang.
Did you try to like pick up the backs of the toilet and like try to fix it?
You know how you'd be like, oh man, now what you know.
What at this point it was this the first time you were with him or first thing you were supposed to do something?
Yeah, what did you.
What did you eat? What I have? Yeah? What'd you eat for dinner?
I mean it was a whole you know that stance on the side.
Oh yeah, I already know that lives are coming out with macon cheese and steak.
Yeah, that's funky. Did you still do it? No, I'm loundesh So did.
You talk to him after he went in there and found that surprise?
So he can blow me up? And I just decided I'm gonna believe that where it is.
I can't. You could be understanding if that happened right, like, Nah, you with it?
Not on the first time, that's a red flag. That's so hard. No, I'm out bathroom.
But was everyone?
Yeah, I get that.
I get that.
Everybody does you eat, you poop, But that don't mean you gotta break my toilet, especially on the first time.
It was bad.
You should have been out of him, really, like how you had me over here with this dad plumbing?
Not too much for me. But you know what that fussy said, I gotta go.
I'm already a thearriage talk bye. That was tell us a secret eight hundred and two nine two fifty one fifty. If you couldn't get through, you could leave a message to tell us a secret.
That way, when we come back, we have your yee t.
What is going on with DDG versus halle bailly The two of them are co parenting. It doesn't seem like it's going well. He did a dic song and everything. We'll tell you about it. It's way up.
Sure, she's about to blow the lid abof this fot.
Let's get it.
Oh yeah, Angelus feeling that yet, Come and get the tea.
It's way up at Angela yee. I'm here with my guest co host naim Lynn Up.
What up? Let's get into this yet.
I love that we're like kind of filling you in on all the little drama that's going on.
I'm totally blively to all this stuff.
All right.
Well, DDG and Halle Bailly. You know they have a child together, Halo. Halo is super cute, but apparently the two of them have not been seeing eye to eye, and he's been venting about not having a chance to see his son when he wants to Now. First, he posted this about getting kicked out of the house when he came. I guess they have somebody that kind of mediates them transferring the child back and forth.
I was told to pull up to see my son. I pull up to see my son and I get kicked out. I was really supposed to pick him up, but I'm like, no, you know what, I ain't gonna pick him up. I don't want to bring him outside because he's sick. So I'm gonna just kick it with him downstairs and then you can stay upstairs or whatever, and then let me just bond with him for at least an hour or two hours. And I was told to get out.
All right, Well, that's what he's saying. Happened now.
I will say that after this came out, and he was venting and going on about not being able to see his son when he wants to, and he doesn't want to miss out on his son getting big. It's not about the money, it's about principal things like that. Halle Belly then posted that she and Halo were sick. They have I think she said RSV. And here's what she said.
I'm not Christine, Me and Halo are very sick. We have first be sorry.
I've want th six steps, but I've just been using on my energy to take care of my baby and myself. So perhaps that's the reason why he couldn't come and see his son because they're sick.
Well, she he said that he was there, he did see him, and then he got kicked out after however long.
It was right, and so look he after that, then put out a song tease. The song it looks like the song is called Don't Take My Son. And here's a snippet from the song.
He want me a man. You know, oh, don't take my son? Because you know how I got now.
I feel like you would like this song, Naima. It's got a throwback sample on it.
I know you like that, Yeah, I mean it sounds good.
The beat. Uh my thoughts were, I mean, my mom kicked my dad out before. Oh for real, he's come to visit us. Why because her current relationship, her current dude at the time, was there and he said he didn't feel comfortable with my father being there.
Okay, he couldn't pick you guys up and take you somewhere, or I don't think he had a car.
Okay, yeah, this is a long time ago. But look, man, I mean apparently their relationship is not a good one. They're having a hard time cole parenting. If you need somebody, a mediator or whatever. They had, so she wanted him out the house. I mean, it doesn't sound it doesn't sound right, especially if he's downstairs. But whatever, they need to figure that out.
You know what I will say, because I've been seeing a lot of this happen. And I know he said he doesn't want to go to court, he doesn't want to do this, but sometimes you do have to just establish visitations so that there is something on a record like this is when I'm going to see him, and you stick to a schedule. Yeah, And that might be the best way because then there's no questions. She can't violate it, he can't violate it. You know what you have to do, and you work around it.
I know you don't have kids, but maybe you can answer this question. Why is it that when there's a father that's trying to be active in his child life, sometimes the mother will give that man a problem, But the mother that has a dead beat dad often says, we don't need him, forget him.
Listen. I can't answer those questions.
It's a spite then.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, you know, everybody's situation is different. I think anybody should be like whatever's best for the kid, But that doesn't always happen on both ends, because that's never it seems like how things get decided. It is, you know, grown ups having issues with each other, and it's more about that than I want my kid to be happy.
I got a question for you. Do you think that a woman who is receiving child support or is the she's the main custody person in a relationship with a child that she deserves money for light bills and stuff like that, because they were like, oh, I got to keep these lights on stuff that you already using.
Well, yeah, if you have a kid, you should want your you know, partially pay for that, I think.
But we'll talk about it more when we come back. We'll talk about it more. We'll have this.
I love this conversation. All right, under the radar when we come back. Its 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 and I'm a naim Lynn. It's time for under the radar now. These are stories that may not be in the headlines, but you should know about them. I've been watching and following this story with NYPD detective Melissa Mercado. She was a video of Vixen in Esquire's music video. The video is called Doing That and she is definitely like on the pole dancing sexy. It's a strip club theme video and it's turned into something viral. Now do you think for her as an NYPD detective that her being in that video is something that is detrimental to what she does for a living?
Is this old or like she's it's a new video. Oh yeah, yeah.
I mean maybe that's her real passion and she's just doing a cop thing til she get on. I mean, if anybody knows her from the video, they're not gonna respect her as a cop. They probably gonna be trying to holler she trying to arrest somebody.
I feel like the.
Reason people know is because the story went viral too, Like who would know? You know, she didn't expect it to go viral other than that. But he said he didn't know about her day job. She was hired through a casting agency to do that. Yeah, Esquire said that, you know, after everything went down, I'm watching all of this and now I'm seeing the narrative change.
He said, I have a family too.
This lady has a family too, and I think that's more important right now. But he doesn't want to be known as the rapper who became popular for having a cop in his music.
And that's a blessing you gotta take these blessings. How they come, bro.
And by the way, the video is a couple of years old. It's just like going viral right now. They did say they took her off of any like you know, cases that have to do with like sex trafficking. And I'm like, come on, y'all, are what like would I do outside of work? Matter about what I have to do for my day job.
Yeah, I mean it's a video anyway, it's not real.
Yeah, it's just a music video. It's like acting. What if she was.
Acting in a role on TV with that matter? You know what I'm saying, It's the same thing, all right, Buddy said he's gonna scout video vixens differently for future projects as well. Man, she still has a job and she's not wearing NYPD paraphernalia. Now that would be sexy if she was like, oooh, you're under her rest? All right, Well, anyway, that is your under the radar. We do have the way it mix at the top of the hour, and we also have America's Sweetheart joining us later.
Nams will be here with us, bing bong. It's way up.
She's like the Talt like they Angela Jean, like they Angela jean Man.
She's spilling it all.
This is yeat way up.
It's way up with Angela. Yee, I'm here with my guy naim Lynn guest hosting. Let's get into this yet. So Wendy Williams, her guardianship is now the subject of two different investigations in New York.
Adult Protective Services.
Has made a phone calls to people close to Wendy asking about her living conditions, and the NYPD also paid a visit to the facility as part of a welfare check. Is this guardianship whole thing is crazy? It makes you think about, like how the law needs to be different.
I mean, you can't take care of yourself. Somebody got to watch you.
After you, right, But she's saying that she can, and that she has no access to her money or anything, and they have her in a facility against her will and she can't speak to people. That feels a little different. Yeah, I think she than just a guardianship.
I think she just don't remember that she Oh.
No, she's doing the view. Also, I see that she's going to be doing an interview.
We'll see me when she's the interview. We'll see what's really going on over the phone.
Now, La County disc Attorney Nathan Hoffman is going to be holding a news conference today that's going to be at ten am Pacific time, so I guess that's one pm here right, talking about resentencing the Menendez brothers. Now, they're not going to do her resentencing, but they're gonna but they are saying the hearing that was scheduled for later this month has been pushed.
It's unluckily it will ever happen.
So they're going to evaluate if the Menandaz brothers will pose a danger to society. Then they'll issue those findings and send that on to the governor, who would then determine if they should go free.
What he sent us to life.
Yeah, I don't think they were going to get out at all period. So yeah, so this could be interesting because you know, the argument is that they killed their father, killed their parents because they were being sexually molested.
Now their uncle, who.
Is a member of the family who thinks that they should not be released from prison and should not be resentenced, Milton, he just died. He's the one that said it was pure greed that motivated them and that they should stay locked up.
And that was their mother's brother.
All right, Angie Stone, Her streams have gone up eight hundred percent and she sold over twenty thousand albums since she passed Wow. Yes, so she got nearly two hundred thousand new listeners on Spotify in the twenty four hours since she passed away. And lastly, Drewski and O'Dell Beckham Junior have been named in this amended lawsuit against Diddy. Ashley Parham's lawsuit and she's saying that she was drugs assaulted, and raped in an incident involving multiple individuals. She said Drewski engaged in inappropriate and degrading actions. She also named O'Dell Beckham Junior, and she said that Diddy played a central role in all of this.
Well.
Drewski responded, he said, this allegation is a fabricated lie. I wasn't a public figure in twenty eighteen. I was broke living with my mom without any connections to the entertainment industry at the time of this allegation, So the inclusion of my name is truly outlandish. She said that he used her like a slip and slide and poured all this oil on her and then kind of like belly flopped on her, and then Odell Beckham Junior said, boy, I'll tell you what, this world makes absolutely no sense.
I'm covered by God. He will prevail. I know who I am. I know who you are. Keep your head. That name will be cleared.
It's stupid, you know, Drewski and Odell Belcom got the same haircut.
Oh you're right with the blonde on top and everything coincidence. I think you don't get that haircut, is what I'm hearing.
Say. You know, if she was drugged up, maybe she just pictured those.
Guys if you died at the top of your hair blind. All right, we'll talk more to you when we come back. Okay, because naim Lynn is here a guest hosting, and how could we not have a conversation about what you have going on.
It's way up.
You're tapped in the way up with Angela Yee.
All right as way up with Angela Ye and Naim and Lynn.
Has been guest hosting today and thank you for that, my pleasure.
That's far Comedian.
You were in town to do Radio City with Kevin Hart, and then you also have been working on your show. Tyler Perry's assistant living where you are the star of the show.
Yes, i am. I'm not number one on the call sheet, but I am. The show was based on my character. So it's David and Tamblaman, Jathon Brown, Courtney Nicole with the first five on the call sheet. Okay, then there's you know, our kids and other people in the in the house.
And how many seasons has it been because I know the the new season's about to start.
No, so it's actually we did a mid season break, you know, BT just be taking break my guys this season, and we have six episodes left. So we're on season five and there's six episodes left in this season and it starts to air again on March twenty seven.
That's a big deal. You know, most shows are not gonna see it to season five.
Man, we did season six already.
Woweh, all right, let's talk about this because Tyler Perry don't play. I told you I finished watching Beauty and Black over the weekend so we could all talk about that. It is that show is something that you cannot stop watching. Yeah, like, no matter what, I already watched, you know, the first part, and then as soon as this part came out this weekend, I was like, I know what I'm doing this weekend.
Tyler Perry's haters are as fans too.
They're gonna watch it so they can hate.
No matter look if they watching, whether they hating or not, they're a fan because you're gonna keep going back to look at it.
But one thing everyone talks about with Tyler Perry is how good he takes care of his people. And you feel the same. Haven't worked out this production for five seasons?
Yeah, I mean it's really when you get a show with him, you struck gold right, you know, and you get past one hundred episodes and then you're in syndication and it could potentially last forever. You know, Sam for and Son still comes on, so missus is still on and right, we call that mailbox money, you know, when you're not working, but you still go collect that check at the mailbox or you know it's directly depositing to your account. But I mean, yeah, Tyler Perry. The great thing about Tyler Perry is he gives opportunities to people that are not giving given opportunities, and with that, for me, comes some type of loyalty. So no matter how big I get, I'll always come back and do some work with him if he requests me.
Okay, I love that, and I do watch every single thing that Tyler Perry does. I just want to put that out there too. I'm a you know, I'm a fan of of that, and then everything you do I watch too, because I definitely watch the Plastic cupboy, especially when you guys had that out hilarious. I've always dont Naima was really funny. Like I've known you for a long time and when I worked as serious. Yeah, you even came on my show back then.
Yeah, yeah, you're insightful hip. That's when we first met.
And look, I love to see it, like whoever would have thought that, you know, however many years later because that was over fourteen years ago, so there had to be.
Like it was definitely before twenty ten.
That's amazing think and that's what you choot bunch of people to come up and keep on doing big things and keep on elevating.
It's like you're doing every single time. Look at us. I got my own show.
You know, you got to get the start of the show, and I would love for you to do an hour special at some point.
Yeah, So I put out a half hour last year called mister big Stuff on YouTube and next I'll probably do an hour. Okay, So my current set is very solid, and I just got to add like another twenty minutes to it and then I'll be good to go.
I feel like that's a no brainer right now.
All right, Well, when we come back, ask ye eight hundred and two ninety two fifty one fifty is the number.
I'm here in Nayi Lynn is here.
You can call us up and ask us for advice, and we definitely gonna help you out.
All right, we got you.
It's way up, whether it's relationship with career advice. Angela's dropping facts.
So you should you should.
What's up? His way up with Angela? Yee, I'm here.
My guy naim Lynn is here with me today guest hosting, and we have Kelly on the line for ask ye what's up?
Kelly?
Hi?
So I recently went through my boyfriend's phone. He has to be in the past, so we do kind of lack of trust there. He was dming my best friend on Instagram and it's kind of just like the conversation was like quick back and forth and then they went to text messages. But my birthday is coming up in two weeks, and I don't know if it's about that or something else.
So wait, did the dams originally like the ones that you did see without the text messages?
So it was kind of like, hey, hi, and can.
You text me? So you went through his phone and saw that, but didn't go through the text messages?
No, because I have his Instagram login.
Oh so okay, got it?
Why why do people do that? Especially if you're not gonna leave, You're just going to make yourself all angry and sick and then don't do nothing.
But she don't know if this is something or not.
Yeah, but the fact that she's even even doing this just shows she already has a lack of trust. And you know what's the point?
Gets addictive going through that phone, don't it?
Girl?
Did you?
Why don't you ask your friend be like, hey, did my boyfriend text you?
Because it gets awkward, like accusing because she was doing it out of not ill intent, and I comfort her for something.
I didn't say come for her.
I didn't say that because you could be like, hey, did my boyfriend text you? I want to come for her, but you don't know if it's like you said, your birthday's coming up, so he could have, you know, DMed her to be like, okay, so what should we do for cause he knows?
Does he know you have his Instagram login?
Of course not he does, but like I don't, don't stay logged into it?
Right, But see, he would be silly to leave that on there knowing that you're going to see it. And clearly he told her to text. You know, they went to text because they know you. Look, he knows you look at that.
You're right, Well, do you know the character of your best friend? Is this something that she would do or she done this to someone else before?
For sure, but that's your best friends. She wouldn't do that to you, right, You.
Never know what people I've been hurt in the past, my friends.
The fact that your mind goes right to is something going on I want to confront my friend is a sign of more issues than just what's going on here.
Yeah.
I mean he could have been maybe not even planning something, but he could have wanted to reach out to her to ask for advice on what to get you for your birthday. I will say you to take you.
Thank you.
Wait it out, waited out for a minute.
It's weird that there was no context.
Yeah, because you have knows the ass is on there and he knows it. You think he's going to plan a surprise knowing you check his Instagram.
Yeah, just wait it out and then listen if they were planning something, or if he did contact her to get advice about something with you. When you find that out, don't go through his messages no more.
Okay, he needed to change his password facts.
Because he knows you on there, and he could see when you was on there too, so he knows. Yeah, at least when there's no trust, But it also sucks to feel that way, and that's something you got to nip in the butt. More than anything, you're going to destroy this relationship. If he's really not doing anything.
Well, yeah, thank you, because I do need to hear that unfortunately.
Yeah, because if that was me, I'd be like, I can't be with somebody who doesn't trust me and I'm not doing nothing. I get that he betrayed your trust earlier, but you decided to stay and you decided to work it out, and you got to really do that. And if you don't trust him and you drive him away, it gets to be too.
Much that's true. All right, Well happy birthday.
So hopefully he don't clap them cheeks.
And then when you go looking, if you find something you don't like, you know, you gotta get.
To step in.
All right, Well that was ask yee. I don't go through nothing, Okay, I'm not going to. Yeah, when you go looking for something, you're gonna find it anyway. That was ask yee eight hundred two ninety two fifty one fifty in case you couldn't get through. And when we come back and NAMS, America's Sweetheart is going to be joining us, and he is so entertaining. You know him from bang bong And yeah, he's quite disrespectful as well. A rite his way up, No bag, were about to do this one.
Of meos to famous women in radiodio.
We're talking about angela ye. You're way up with angela ye.
Please believe that what's up his way up at angela yee. I'm here with my guy a beat I yo, and names is in the building.
Finally, thank you for having me. I like that.
I do that with on females.
Oh no, all right, America's Sweetheart is here.
That's right.
The album came out on Valentine's Day, very romantic album.
Absolutely ironically, the album starts are really positive though.
Because that's why I'm not in life. I'm happy to be alive. I'm made it out, you know what I'm saying. I was homeless on drugs. I made it to a record deal, you know. And then you go through the whole range of emojio, the toxic relationships, all punch you in your face music, go fat boy.
You know what I'm saying.
There's a whole bunch of different things, and then you know, we got other songs, depression, We got a whole bunch of range of songs.
And you're right, you have been through a lot to be able to get to where you are today. But music, and I've seen you say this too. Music is not what's going to pay the bills necessarily. It's what you get from being able to do music, because it's not like streaming. It's gonna be what it's going to keep the roof over your head.
Music is what I love. I came into this game as a raper. I'm a battle rapper. I came into that.
You got the belt too, like a battle records? Yeah, Nah, that's that's a big deal.
But battle rappers they always be like, oh, they can't do them, they can't make music.
Absolutely, That's why I shy away from the bat I think I just outgrew it too. I don't really watch battles no more. I feel like I just lost interest in it. But I was battling the fight club stuff. I was on heavy drug.
I'm here with my guy beat It and we're talking to Nam's America sweetheart.
Man, I saw you.
You were on heroin absolutely, so like close to a decade. Luckily I've been I'm clean now for like fifteen years. But what started it is, you know, both my parents were drug addicts. My mother got cleaned when I was born, and she was clean, so I was like sixteen, and then my mother went into a depression and she relapsed. So I had to live with my uncle and my whole family. I come from a long line of hustlers, my whole family, and he was selling. So I dipped into a stash one day thinking it was cocaine, and somebody would say, yo, this is heroin.
Tried I would have never.
I thought it was cocaine for like a month or two, and I already called a habit I was on that journey for like eight years.
How was the process to be able to kick it?
It wasn't easy.
I was like a robot, like I had to when I woke up in the morning, I would have to, you know, go and rob people and do something to fuel my habit.
I tried.
I've been to over forty detoxes. I've been to like ten rehabs, and nothing worked for me. I went to jail. I was clean for like ten months just because I couldn't get nothing in there. When I came home, I got high again. It just really got to the point where I was so sick of myself and I had like an outer body experience. I saw myself from the outside, like looking at myself, and I was like, yo, I keep going like this, and I'm gonna be in jail the rest of my life. Oh, I'm gonna die real soon. Or I could stop everything right now or live my dreams. And I was still young enough where I was like ya, I still got a couple of years till I'm thirty. I could still really live my dreams. And the rapping was always my dream. And the next day I didn't go nowhere. I begged my mother let me stay at the house. My I feel I want to stay. I want to stop. And from that point I never touched nothing. I don't drink, I don't smoke.
I just you know this.
This music really helped me stay clean and really drove me in the direction of stopping using these drugs.
Nems is here.
You know, he's America's sweetheart. Make sure you take out his project. I'm here with my guy beat out. We had more with Nems when we come back. It's way up.
You, way up with Angela ye.
Now what's up his way up at Angela yee. I'm here and beat at us. Here we are talking to America sweetheart. You know the song Bing Bong. You know Nam's all right now. You posted this twenty twenty four. It was another success. Did my first tour forty States in fifty five days.
What was that?
Like?
I had the greatest time.
We literally drove, we drove, We packed up a pole sprint of van like. We drove from New York. By the time we got to Portland, all the electric in the van went out.
I didn't have no TVs.
We could plug our phones and we had to get back to New York. It's like the Warriors, you know what I'm saying. We had to come back to the worst Sprinter I've ever been in in my life. But we had a great time.
See that's how it happens.
Yeah, And I was telling everybody in the event, like, Yo, we're gonna remember this for the rest of our life.
Does y'all document it?
Absolutely?
Okay, Well that's gonna be. It's a TV show right there, the Worst Sprinter Facts.
You had to push it back to Coney what you.
Call it, our photographer and videographer. He couldn't take our jokes and we had to kick him off the tour in Atlanta. What and we just opened the door and kicked him out and made him We don't know what. I haven't seen him since he's alive.
People have told me he's alive. Yeah, but we haven't spoke to him or seen.
Him since what's happened, y'all telling Listen, we.
Joke heavy like I'm with it. Don't ever disrespect me. But the people I be around are even funnier than me, but they're more vicious. Like to me, I have a heart a little bit. The guys that I'm with, they don't have a heart and if you're not thick skin. We told him in the beginning of the tour, like, yo, we're gonna pause. We're gonna make you a man by the end of the store. You know what I'm saying. And I guess his manhood was not attacked. And he got out on a rainy day and smearing at Georgia and he just disappeared. I don't know what happened to him. It was hard getting the footage back, That's what made me remember.
But you did get We did get the footage yet him or something. I paid him the whole time. Okay, good because you know them last seed to be din know what he.
Was signing up for. He knew, but he you know what it is.
I'm having fun, But I also treat this like a business, right, So if you ain't on it like I'm on it, you're probably gonna get yelled at. He wanted to smoke wheeled that he thought he was one of the crew.
But you still gotta work. Like we can have fun, we joke with each other, we go out, but it's still a job. And so sometimes people have a difficult time transitioning from thinking to your friend and then realizing that they're also an employee.
That's exactly there's a thin line between them.
Yeah, because on the off time we're cool with you know, but on the when it's time to go, I expect you to do your job.
All right.
So Nam's America Sweetheart is out now. It came out on Valentine's Day.
Go fat boy?
Positivity? Yeah?
Positive? What does them stand for? Again?
Now everything makes sense.
You changed it naturally, evil mind state, never ever do.
Now it's now.
It's not your life, it's fixed your life.
You're like that.

Yeoh man, thank you for guest hosting today.
My pleasure.
I know you love doing radio too.
I do love doing I missed radio. I might have to switch up to the podcast world.
Soon, as you should. I think I feel like there's a lot of things you could talk about. You don't have the best takes on boxing.
But everything is crazy.
That's my specialty.
Who's your favorite boxer right now? Terry Crawford not Clarissa Shields. I'm problem just like her, But no, she's not my fast. Just think about all of the accolades that she has, more than any man ever has had, you know her, Yeah, it's amazing. I feel like she don't get the credit she deserves for everything that she's accomplished.
Well, I mean it's women's boxing doesn't get the same credit that men's boxing does. Just like WNBA. It's I actually like women's but I'd like to see women knocking other's heads off.
I feel like she's so different. Think about it. She has a movie, a biopic about her life already, you know.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, she gets all the credit she did. I wish she was more of a knockout artist. I didn't like how she came for the for Laila a Lei. You know, but hey, I get it. By the way, did you see Muhamma Ali's ex wife?
Oh yeah, I have some things to say and support a clarician. Yes, yes, I saw that.
That was I was like, wow, women can't let stuff go home.
It's been, it's been many many you had two wives out there. She's like, I don't care, I don't like you forever. Yep, all right, well, thank you also to Nam's for coming through. You could watch that full interview on my YouTube channel Way Up with Ye of course, get ready for Tyler Perry's Assistant Living mid season restart.

And I'm not telling my friends that because we were supposed to be getting married in December.
So yeah, I just want to find some light on my boy Daniagelico, who's bringing love to the area of Nord's bringing love to the state of New Jersey. He's from New York and he's actually from Nigeria. So I want to thank Mother Africa for bringing some of them like him into the world as well and showing us what it means to be people of love among one another. And I just want to let you know, keep doing what you do, bro, you change your lives.
It's some time.
