He's investing in his community and he recently bought a ten million dollar purchase the clover Leaf Plaza in his All Miami Dade neighborhood. But it's also about reinvesting in black entrepreneurship and creating sustainable and generational wealthware it's needed most. It's the city's first entirely black owned shopping center. It was completed two years ago, but it was officially unveiled at a Miami Garden City Hall ceremony and news conference in February. It was also a Black History Month last month, So shout out to him for that.
He did this with his.
Partner and purchase his childhood friend Lee Prince ten million dollars. I know, you know he got all that money, right Remember when he and he had an investment in that energy drink. Oh yes, right, Yeah, he got paid and he got a lot of big singles. As much as people don't acknowledge, that definitely does. So shout out to him, and I love the idea of doing this with your childhood friend. He's got hair salons, a restaurant, a florist shop, a smoke shop, other small businesses. It's a twenty eight thousand square foot strip, mom, and they're saying this may help create an incubator of opportunities for.
Others in a minority neighborhood.
Feels good to be able to go someplace and know that you can buy black owned and know the whole entire strip mall. I don't know where else that exists. All right now, JB, who do you want to shine a light on?

Thank you.
That was Shina Light eight hundred and two nine fifty one fifty. In case you couldn't get through, you could leave a message in China. Light that way and when we come back, ye tea time. Let's talk about Kim Kardashian. There's some drama now between here and Kanye, but not just that drama. This is also drama due to Elon Musk. Will explain it, break it down. See which I think it's way up.
This says in the rooms from industry shade to all of gossip out sending Angela's feeling that EyeT.
It's way up at Angela. Yee, I'm here beat out here, good job beatt Yes, I am oh beat dot. Let's get into this Kim Kardashian photoshoot that she did and she's facing backlash. She did a photoshoot featuring a Tesla cybertruck and an Optimus robot. Okay, it was for Perfect magazine, and you know people are criticizing her for not reading room.
She's done so much as far as criminal justice.
Reform, Tesla's been facing declining sales, stock drops, a lot of people who are upset with Elon Mus's political affiliations, his cuts to federal agencies, putting people out of work, you know, the Nazi salute that he's been doing, and so Kim Kardashian, they felt like, you know, why would you do this at this time?
Why not?
It's just a photo shoot. I don't see what the big deal is.
Yeah, I think she knows what she's doing, though. I mean, when you do that, it is kind of like aligning yourself with a person who right now, you don't think so you don't think that aligning You don't think like aligning yourself with the brand means that you're supportive.
No, she's just taking a photo shoot.
Man.
People probably have Tesla's.
Right now because she's also a huge celebrity that carefully has a team of people that helps her curate what it is that she does and represents. So I do believe that it's something that is intentional, like when you you know what you're doing, likeday Man, it's like wearing the Donald Trump sneakers. You can't feel like I just like these sneakers. You're representing a person who right now is in the center of attention because of the affiliations, And I think she's presenting herself in a way where this is what she stands for so when you put yourself in that position. There's a lot of people who buy a cyber truck and have Tesla's and they don't.
Think anything of it.
But I think somebody like Kim Kardashian, who everything she does is carefully curated, it's a different situation.
I disagree, all right, I disagree. I mean to have I have Tesla stock, does that make me a But.
You're not King Kardashian. You're not fighting for criminal justice.
Stop.
So I think it's a little different.
When you present yourself in a certain way, then people pay attention to what it is that you're doing. Right, Like if Joe Biden was to take a photo shoot with a Tesla cyber truck and a Tesla robot and one of the robots an Optimist robot, would that not mean anything?
No, don't think it means anything. It's just a call company. Is it an American call company? You have people have bingses, they have bmwses.
I mean.
Doesn't own those.
I'm just saying.
A position of power.
So you don't think that like buying black is a real thing either, to support black owned companies, because it doesn't represent anything.
It just sounds like this likes the victim Olympics this time around.
All right, Well, Kanye has also dropped the song with Northwest and Didy on it, and Kim Kardashian did not want that to happen. Here is a snippet of what that phone call sounded like with ain't.
No money you ain't nobody money so much?
Yeah?
Absolutely, I love you so much man, It's like you raised me.
This needs to be That's how the song started.
You like it, no gave to hear it?
And then here is uh the song Lonely Rouse with King Coombs and Northwest.
Here is their part.
I wanted all the good love and I was going to still say they kate the grown younger knam I'm home dead known like did y'all stay king like to y'all still like the Dean bause. Yeah you don't want to see me la.
I can't wait to see the face.
When we come out, you knowing everything I wanted to Takita live.
When you see me shun and then you see the life of the life run into the jungle like a trader ride surrounded by thy friends.
I don't even lie.
Okay uh.
And then here's another line in the song that has created some controversy. Oh it's a different song, all right, Well anyway, what did you think about that so far?
And what do you think about that?
Because you know, the other issue that Kanye's having is that Kim Kardashian trademarked Northwest name right, and so he was mad about that, and he said that he is going to make it, you know, he said He's gonna make it really hard for her and spill everything. But she she trademarks. All the kids need. Somebody has to do it.
It's pretty on brand, man. But as far as the kids making the music, snowny that right now?
All right, well that is uh your yet when we come back, we have about last night. That's we discussing what we had going on last night.
It's way up.
So about last night, Yes, I went down.
It's way up at Angela. Ye, I'm here, beat out here, good job, beat, Yes I am, Yes you were.
What did you do over the weekend?
Well, I do much over the weekend.
But since I was that playboy Cardi.
But since I was here last I was out West and hosted the Sounds and Sessions event powered by a Tomb Corps shout out to Kevin and Laura for that.
Oh yes, I saw that Willa Russell, Yes.
Will of Russell. Great time.
And then afterwards I went to see Tyler the Creator out west during his Chromacopia tour.
You know, great show.
Okay, okay, he says, hello, Oh he does no, Okay, why did you lie? Why would you lie? He's good friends with Santiago.
Yeah he is. So it was a great show, all right.
Well, I over the weekend, I was actually doing a I guess a keynote for Farragut stakeholders, and that is for Farragut Housing residents to give them a voice in the greater Brooklyn community. And so it was a women's event. You had to be twenty one and over to attend. And another Brooklyn native actually was there. She performed, and I did a Q and A with her, Cheryl Pepsi Riley. Okay, she has this song thanks for My Child. But she had such an amazing career. I was watching her unsung.
I was unfamiliar with her.
Yeah, but you definitely would know who she is because she actually early on in her career.
She was in the late eighties.
She had a couple of big hit songs, but then the label kind of shelved her. But she had a background in theater, so she ended up doing a lot of the Tyler Perry plays. She linked up with Tyler Perry so she was in like Media's class reunion. She started, why did I Get married? She also sang and so when you see like the voiceover that say Taraji p Henson, that's really Cheryl Pepsi Riley singing, but it's you know, it looks like it's Taraji. And then she also she had such an interesting story. Just watch her unsung if you want to know more about show Pepsi rally. She had her song thanks for My Child, That was her biggest song. It was written by Full Force, but they also wrote this, you know, Full Force wrote for Lisa Lisa. Yeah, and they wrote I Wonder If I Take You Home? And she could have actually had that song, but she turned it down because she was in a group called Stargates and she wanted to be loyal to the group. And she said after she turned it down and the song became a hit with Lisa Lisa, she said they called her and rubbed it in her face. I see that you should But anyway, shout out to Cherie Pepsy Rally.
She was really sweet.
I love when I meet people in there, just nice human beings, right all right, when we come back. Speaking of nice human beings. We all have secrets, though. Eight hundred nine two fifty one fifty. Tell us a secret. That's eight hundred fifty one fifty. Any secret that you have, even a dirty one, even a dirty ones or clean ones, people be mad when it's y'all can't please anybody.

Oh.
When I was like way younger, I ended up captishing my ex best friend and made her fall for the guys.
And then I ghosted her.
Oh my god, why would you do that because it was your ex best friend?
Yeah, Like, she just stopped talking to us all of a sudden, and.
We don't know why.
She could have been going through some they made it even worse.
I saw her.
We told her words everye but I don't know.
Wow, how long did that take you to like get all that done?
That feels like a lot of work. No, okay, So.
When did she realize that the person wasn't real?
She ended up calling my phone and I answered, and then her other friends told her about it and she called me. She's like, never ever call me again.
Oh wow, okay, why is she your ex best friend?
So we have a group, right, and she stopped being friends with one of our other friends because the one friend she stopped being friends with she didn't have her glasses on, and she looked right at her and turned away. And then our ex best friend was like, I'm not friends with you anymore because you didn't stay hi to me.
I mean, this sounds ridiculous.
Ridiculous, but you know she's happy now and Mary, so, oh do you feel bad?
No, she was that grade of a person in this small town, we're asked. She ended up moving because she couldn't be friends with anyone else.
Wow.
Wow, it sounds like a little mean girls situation.
Didn't see that one.
Coming, right, this one girls too so except you're the mean girl.
Right.
I was the mean girl, but I'm not the mean girl anymore.
Okay, good lessons.
Don't captures your excest friends. Even if it was fun for a little bit, kind of like a waste of time.
I could see that we got things going on, all right. Well, thanks for calling and sharing with us, all right, boy, Well that was tell us a secret eight hundred two ninety two fifty one fifty in case you couldn't get through that one. Wasn't crazy, too bad? Yeah, catfishing is real.
Friends like that?
Yeah, she might've been right leaving you all alone, all right? Well when we come back, we have yet beat up. Let's talk about music. Jello has some new music. I want to see what you think he debuted at Rolling Loud.
You know who else is that Rolling Loud?
Playboy Cardi headlining. We'll talk about it. It's way up shore.
She's about to the lead above this, but let's get it. Angelus feeling at yeez. I mean getting to see.
It's way up with angela yea. I'm here with my guy Beatts.
Good job beat St. Patrick's Day.
Oh yeah, it is Saint Patricks Day. A lot of streets are closed off here. You know where I'm from the island. I'm from Montserrat. Saint patricks Day is their biggest holiday. And I was looking at so many different people who were performing out there.
I just saw Skinny Fabulous was out there.
That's a big deal.
Looks like it was really exciting.
But another thing, speaking of performances, was Rolling Loud in LA.
Somebody was like, how many Rolling louds are there?
Rolling Loud has definitely been franchising that whole well, not franchising, but they definitely have that brand everywhere.
Now.
Asap, Rocky pulled up and when I say pulled up. He pulled up in a helicopter above the festival grounds at Hollywood Park and he performed a few different things. He did his unreleased songs Stole Your Flow from his new album. The album is called Don't Be Dumb. Here is pick a side?
She was Homicide was Rocky, was a heartbeat away from facing a football number.
I think he's just tread lightly at this sport.
Well, he's talking about music, and you know he's clarified. He's not on j Co, not on Jake, not on Kenjok's side, and I guess he's talking about homicide as far.
As the music homicide, all right, Well.
Anyway, that is his new music.
Now, another person who debuted some new music was Jello, and people were talking about this song.
It definitely went viral. Here's what that sounded like.
I'm not completely sold on Jello, man, Why not where you get that Louisiana accent from? It feels like his music sounds like cash money throwaways.
Well, he did have the song with Little Wayne a remix, right, so hey, why not? And you know they're talking about this deal he did with Deaf Damn and Universal Music Group, so Emphysis on the death. You know, he's been having all kinds of issues aside from that.
He butt his girlfriend. Rashi didn't call a g wagon.
But of course miss Nikki Baby's been talking about how he has been paying child support, hasn't been sending his child any money after he gifted that g Wagon.
And now this is crazy.
But now there's another woman who's come forward and she's saying that that was her g Wagon that she customized.
Here is pro energy talking about that. Maybe maybe in.
November of twenty twenty three, I ordered my custom g Wagon and it was scheduled to come in June of twenty twenty four, my birthday month. However, it got delayed and they said your car got converted to A twenty twenty five. So I was getting all my money together and the car came early and I was not ready. They told me, if you do not pay for the car in seventy two hours, we will open up the vehicle for public sale, swerving them payments.
Well, listen, she said, please help me get my g Wagon back. Please watch this whole video and help make this video viral. The car Jelogius bought Rashida was mine. I waited over a year and a half for it. I customize it, aight z. I'm praying to God she lets me buy it back when she hears the story. Problem is once you drive it off the lot while you goes down so much. But you know, unfortunately, if you don't have the money for it, I mean, what can you do?
I feel for her, but they get on the bus.
Yeah, there's you know, nothing you could really do if you customized it. And then they were like, we give you seventy two hours. And you know, Jello bought it, which is really crazy because in now it's like this big deal, this car you customize.
Right.
He came up also at Rolling Loud Playboy Cardi brought out the weekend. Kay Sanat, I mean he really did it big. He should have bought you out, Beata.
Oh thank you?
All right, well that is your Yet when we come back under the radar, the stories that are not necessarily and the headlines, they're flying under the radar, but you need to know about him.
It's way up the news.
This in the news relates to you. These stories are flying under the radar.
It's way up.
At Angela, Ye, I'm here beat outs here, good job. It's time for these under the radar stories. Now, there were severe storms and tornadoes that swept across the United States, so people in Atlanta were really hunkering down. Some people lost their power and everything. At least forty two people are dead after these storms swept through the Midwest and the South over the weekend.
It was raining pretty hard here.
There was I'll say that there was a lot of damage by dust storms, wildfires, rain, and tornadoes.
So you know.
Hopefully everybody is dealing with this, yes, safely, but unfortunately forty two people did die. So our condolences to those families, all right, and Donald Trump wrote on social media last night that he no longer considers these pardons that President Biden made valid because they were signed using an auto pen device. Now, there's no power in the Constitution and there's nothing that allows you to undo a pardon, so there's no exceptions even if it's signed by auto pen. And autopen has been being used since twenty eleven. That's when it was first used to sign a bill into law at the direction of the president. That's when former President Barack Obama was traveling in Europe. He wanted to sign a piece of legislation Congress passed extending the Patriot Act for another four years. So Donald Trump posted The pardons that sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs and many others are hereby declared void, vacant, and of no further force or effect because of the fact that they were done by auto pen In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them, but more importantly, he did not know anything about them.
Biden's like, jac you don't write nothing and.
Down, I don't know that.
Well, again, there's nothing valid about what Donald Trump is saying. They did ask him to verify this. A reporter that was in the press pool question him about it, and he didn't have anything to say.
He said, it's not my decision. That would be up to a court.
But I would say that they're Nolan void because I'm sure that Biden didn't have any idea that it was taking place.
I don't think it validates the parts.
I don't think it does either.
You know, I was looking at all these peaceful protests on campus that are now being told that they should lay low because Donald Trump is talking about, you know, just making sure.
He said, I would have just.
Trying to deport people, even people who are here with a green card. They did strip one person from their green card and tell them that they have to leave there right now in ice custody. But they're saying that's not legal to be able to do that. So they said, this case tests of terrifying president for all students, particularly international students, particularly those on visas and green cards. But I think students in general should be horrified. What president are we setting for this entire nation and for our first Amendment if Khalil is deported? And who will be the next group targeted? That is Makmu Khalil of Palestinian refugee whose green card was revoked because of being involved in demonstrations at Columbia University. So kids are saying and they now have to exercise think carefully before exercising their constitutionally protected right to free speech. So imagine being here legally, you participate in a demonstration and then you know they illegally detain you and threaten to strip you of your green card. Wow, all right, well that is you're under the radar. Now we do have the way up mix at the top of the hour plus we have Lizzo joining us.
She has a new album on the way.
Love in real life, and that's what we need, that love in real life, not on social media.
That's not where you look for it. All right.
She's got a new single out called Still Bad. We'll talk to her. It's way up way She's like the like.
They Angel Jean, like they Angel Jee Man.
She's spilling it all. This is yet way up.
It's way up at Angela. Yee, I'm here, my guy beat outs here.
Good job be dotes.
I am good job be dot. Oh.
This is all unfolding as we're sitting here watching this happen, but in this yet. Jonathan Majors did an exclusive sit down with The Hollywood Reporter. This his first time talking about the aftermath of the trial, the first time sitting with a journalist since he was sentenced in April of twenty twenty four. He also talked about his childhood sexual abuse that he says led to depression. He said he dealt with sexual abuse on both men and women from the time he was nine from people who are supposed to look after you in the absence of a father, He said, I was eft up.
He said when he told his mother about the abuse.
He says she apologized for not being able to protect him, and he said he just wanted her to know about that. But he also got kicked out of high school for fighting that often started because he or his siblings were being bullied. He said, we looked poor. We were pretty nomadic, going from school to school, place to place. I had a big nose. Guys would pick on me, and I was for a long time the outsider.
But it's a.
Full long interview that he did with the Hollywood Reporter. Now I saw that Rolling Stone also published an article and this actually came out this morning. It said the headline is Jonathan Major's admits to strangle ex girlfriend and newly unearthed audio And so they do have a whole dialogue between them that they wrote about, and it says that she actually was confronting him about the alleged attack in the following days and he said, I'm ashamed I've ever and then he said, I've never been aggressive with the woman before. I've never aggressed a woman. I aggressed to you And she said you strangled me and pushed me against the car, and he said, yes, all those things are under aggress Yeah, that's never happened to me. And so Rolling Stone has received this audio, she's like going on with the shad. Yeah, that previously was not out. So both an attorney and agent for Jonathan Major did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and an attorney for a Graceter Barrio also declined to comment as well on that story. So who a lot going on all right now? Beyonce her Cowboy Carter tour. People were trying to say, and when I say people, I mean News Nation that the tour was not selling but apparently ticket sales have reached ninety four percent capacity across all scheduled dates.
I literally watched people.
Getting in line the moment that those tickets were available and being in the queue to try to get those tickets. That's why it was confusing to me that people were posting this. They expect that this tour is going to gross over three hundred and twenty five million dollars from thirty one shows. And here is originally News Nation put out this report. It looks like all the single ladies are staying home.
As Beyonce's Cowboy Carter tour it is struggling to sell out.
Single ladies to take it out a second more ye to go to this show.
I don't think that's actual information.
They even added dates because of how well the show is doing all right now. Leon Thomas when he was up here with us on Way Up with Angela yee yep, he talked about a remix from Mutt.
Here's what he said.
I just got the mastered, really really amazing feature.
I'm still gonna save the name on that one.
But this is this is definitely life changing for me.
I'm a big fan of this artist.
Give us a hint so we can. Is it a woman they've been in again?
Just say what?
A teenager? Just like me? You know, I don't know why I think about Chris Brown?
Is it Chris Brown?
Here is the feature that he previewed. Yeah crazy? Oh, Speaking of going crazy, Playboy Cardi's music album has broken a Spotify record. His long awaited third studio album is Spotify's most stream album in a single day in twenty twenty five.
So far, what'd you think?
You know?
I try to give everything a fair shake, but you know, I almost called it air infection listening to this album over the weekend.
Too many songs for you.
Man, Not even that I think the worst thing about this Playboy Cardi album is Playboy Catti. He's like outshine by the production and his guest like the Weekend Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar. So you like the production and the guest stars for sure, but the all eclipse them on his own songs and like no point during the album do I.
Say to myself, Gee, he really killed that verse. He really dialed it in.
We're gonna talk more about this and last word, but in the meantime when we come back. Ask Ye eight hundred two nine two fifty one fifty is a number.
Call us up any question you have.
I'm here with music critic be that here to help you sound like news Nation talking about Playbook Cardi. Eight hundred two ninety two fifty one fifty. Ask yee is next, whether it's relationship or career advice.
Angela's dropping facts, so you should you should know this is ask Ye.
What's up his way up at the Angela Yee. I'm here with my guy Brian Millard AKA be Dot, Good job us, and it's time for ask ye. We do have a voicemail and I think you'll appreciate this one. I'm sure you can get some insight be that. Here is our listener.
I was in a relationship for five years and I have a baby with him now. He basically made the X the focal point on the relationship. I don't know anything. I don't know where he lives, I don't know any in his business, but everything she knows like, how can I just make myself more invisible? I don't ask him for anything. As far as my son and counts, he picks him up, who comes from day can drop them off. You had agreed that he would take him on a weekend. If he only literally comes and takes him for twenty four hours, there's no consistency of when he's going to take him. He just does everything when he feels like it. And the problem is is that every time I say something, it makes it seems like I'm the problem.
What do I do?
All?
Right? Well? Be that U co parent house? And what was that process?
Like?
It was difficult at first, but you know, eventually you've got to put on your big boy pants and do what you need to do for the kid. You know she's saying she wants to make herself invisible.
I think the fact that she doesn't know where he lives, what he has going on, he pops in and pops out. She doesn't have the luxury of doing that as the primary care taker for the child. So I guess for her, she just wants to not have him have the access that he has to her because it's not reciprocated. I understand saying, look, we had an agreement and you're not honoring that agreement.
So she might make plans.
If you're supposed to have the child every other weekend for two days, but you never do that, then that doesn't allow for her to be to do what she wants to do, you know, and have that luxury. And I also think when you have a kid with somebody, you want to know where the other person lives, right You want to know something happens. I'm not trying to pop up. I just need to make sure that's something that is relevant. People don't like doing this, but it feels like this is not a court ordered agreement because he would be in breach if he wasn't doing what he's supposed to do. But sometimes the best way is to do that, and it may make it seem like you're being a b and you're doing this but no, you're not. You're just establishing the boundaries and making sure that you're doing things by the book because he's not establishing those rules and following them.
What do you think about that?
As I'm with you on that, Sometimes that's like a last resort and who wants to have the courts in your business? But desperate towns go for desperate measures, and it seems like she's at the end of her rope, so she has to do what she gotta do.
And sometimes it only gets worse the more you don't take action and kind of let things slide. And so the best thing to do because you guys aren't communicating and I do feel like this also makes you more invisible what she wants, right, you can communicate through the app. Everything gets monitored through the app. Don't contact me outside of that. If you don't do what you say you're gonna do, that's a breach of over our agreement. And sometimes those things just have to be solidified.
And they got an app for that.
Yeah, they have an app so people can communicate and that's how they monitor your conversations and what one person's doing and not doing.
Wow, there you go.
You know, I commend you for at least letting him still continue to see his child. But everything can't be at only his leisure, and so it's not fair to you into your.
Life even beat out.
Of Greece, I do as a man, all right, Well that is asking ye eight hundred two nine fifty one fifty.
And when we come.
Back, Lizzo is in the building. Yes, she is back outside doing interviews and she's been pouring her heart out of everything that she's been going through. So we'll talk to her about her new project that's on the way love in real life, it's way out there.
Turn me up, He'll we go up through.
This is way up with Angela Ye.
What's up? Its way up at angela Ye, And Keem was not leaving.
Listen here, what's up? All the way up, all the way up, and listen. I do want to say that I'm just excited to have you. I'll never forget Lizzo. We were doing this keynote at south By Southwest and I couldn't believe you were like, I'm nervous, and I was like, Lizzo is nervous.
Sometimes I just like to say it so I can feel like a normal person.
Yeah, because I was nervous. Okay, I felt better. Well, listen, We've heard love in real Life. That is actually the title track for the album. People say things to you on social media that they would never say in real life, and you're like, where are these people? And so you're right like that, love and real life is so much more important than anything.
Those people who are saying things about you on the internet, they're not even real. I've been so gasol at by bots.
But I'm like, wait a minute, who paid for this? You're not even real?
But yeah, that's what the album title comes from.
I was in like a really dark place for my life, and I was like afraid of people. And then I went out to a concert and I got so much love from people I didn't even know.
They were like, I love you.
We were hugging and crying, and it was so many black people too. That just made me feel so good. And I was like, you know what, you can't get this on the internet.
Yeah, you gotta go outside.
You have to find it in real life. And that's the only kind of love I want. The Internet love is fake.
Right now, I'm with I Keen Woods.
He had to sit in because Lizze's here in the building with us. I have a little something for you here. I gotta way up message for you, and this is from somebody special to you.
You want to hear it.
Oh my god, is it Jesus?
It says Yitty. First of all, the body is Tea.
I want you to always know how amazing you are, how sweet, loving, kind and sassy in all the best ways.
That's the Carmen energy.
Is not my cousin, the best parts of you the world hasn't even discovered yet.
They have only seen a glimpse.
Your father would be beyond proud of not only you as an artist, but you as a person. So thankful to call you not only my favorite cousin but one of my best friends.
Love Pooh shantea.
Are Even before you said Carmen, I said, wait a minute, only my family called me Ity, so yeah, Oh that's so sweet.
And you know I was in Detroit. She actually cut my hair. The last person to cut my hair is your cousin.
Wow.
Yeah, now still bad.
I also love a good breakup song because people don't even listen to that. It sounds so happy and fun you're not even thinking about it. It's like getting over a breakup, and those are always good because we always need those.
Still bad is a breakup song with the world. I wrote a breakup song. It was a country song, and it was like I don't need them. I need a drink, you know, And I was like, okay, I needed that to find the emotion from it. And then it was just I don't need him, but like I needed to break up with the world. Then I needed to like get my get back, and I wanted them to see me out at the club.
And be like, damn, I want to text her. I want the world to be like, Damn, I miss her, I miss bathe. So that's what the song is about.
Well, it feels good.
I'm glad you're back together with the world. Oh we'll see y'all got back together. Eve been calling me? Yeah, E been calling me.
I may have picked up once or twice.
And you up text Yeah.
I'm was like, who I'm asleep even though I was up, but I didn't respond.
We love that, like how long should I take you? And I respond? Do I respond?
That's where we're at right now. We're flirting with us. Send the cash out period.
Lizzo's here and let's also hear her song still bad right now, we have more with Lizza.
When we come back. It's turn up, way.
Up with Angela.
Ye more, now.
What's up his way up?
But Angela he I'm here, A kem Wood's comedian extraordinaire is here and he's fanning out because Lizzo is with us. I just want to say, you're looking good as hell, just to quote y'all, hell, thank you.
I've been you know, I've been glowing. I've been glowing.
But I think I just intentionally was like, you know what, it's time to release some weight.
And I did, and I'm doing it.
I really threw myself into myself in the past like two years, Like I just have routines now and I can't deviate from them, like meditation and the way that I eat and the way that I the vitamins and supplements that I take and my hair routine and everything's just like, oh yeah, divertal moon.
I've always felt like Lizelle's beat falling amazing.
Yeah, you know, I just think people don't have boundaries with fat people. I don't think we were taught that as kids to have back. It's the one bullied thing that is like acceptable.
It's like we watch cartoons and movies and it's like resputia and clumpson bending over, like.
It's like okay to do that, But if it was any other thing, any other kind of person, it'd be like.
Oh, that's mean, you can't do that, you know what I mean.
So I think like, even like the way we were all conditioned it, it just makes like us the butt of the joke all the time. So I think that's why the public feels so entitled to big people's business and and they feel so entitled to comment on all the time. But I have a different perspective on it because I'm like, bring it on, because I got an answer for you every time.
It's always it's more women than men, because I don't see the same people in the comments of fat men as I see in fat women, right because women.
Are objectified and there's this like perception of like if you're big, you've let.
Yourself go, or you don't like yourself, or you're not beautiful or not healthy.
I can't believe how many people think that just because you're fat, you're not pretty like ugly where you like look at my dms. Hello, Hello, and kill at my at my heaviest weight.
Your faves don't get.
It twisted right now with I keen Woods, he had to sit in because Lize's here in the building with us. Last thing I want to ask you, what did you think you learned about yourself taking those two years just dealing with Lizzo. That special era is over, like you said, you're sharing a new era by so what did you learn about yourself?
Who I am?
If I could sum that up into one phrase, I learned that I am enough once I was alone and I really had time to discover what I like and what I don't like.
And once I learned who Melissa is and who Lizzo is.
I was like, she's enough, and that's amazing. You don't got a roll with a million friends. You don't have to have videos and go viral all the time on the internet to feel any type of self worth. You don't even need to be putting out music. You don't even need a number one or a Grammy to feel good enough.
And that made me like.
Lock the fuckin with me and make sure that like this is who I'm going to be for the rest of my life. Because I like her and I want to make sure she's safe and protected.
I love that. That's the quote for the interview. Thank you so much, Lizzo. It's always a pleasure to talk to you, and I hope we yes some ELS's music.
You know. Wait, how do you know about that? I told you about that. I told you about that.
No, I read about it that you and Sid they had a group with a third person that we had.
We don't know. Yes, we'll not because I don't. I just don't love. I don't like telling people's business. I don't know.
I mean that might put some pressure on it might be fire. I think.
I love.
All right.
That note.
Thank you, Lisa, Thank you so much to Liza for joining us. You can watch that phot and if you're on my YouTube channel, Way up with you and when we come back, you guys have the last word.
Hey, up the phone.
To get your voice heard.

The last word on Way Up with Angela?
Ye?
What's up? Is Way up with Angela?
Yee?
I'm here beat out here.
That's right, good Jo, I really got it.
Thanks to you. Delve more into this Playboy CARDI album.
You don't have to dive too deep.
I know, it's thirty songs. It's a lot.
Yeah, it is a lot. I think that's kind of the problem. Sometimes artists need to self know how to self edit.
Yeah, you know, Kanye is a huge fan of his as well.
He was upset that Playboard Cardi didn't bring him on stage.
I don't know if anyone's a huge fan Kanye.
But Kanye said that was a fake text message. But I'm going to listen to this more. And it's because of you. You know what somebody said, You're welcome on social media. Playboy Cardi is our generation, is Michael Jackson. But better see this is why we gotta put tariffs on social media. On Twitter, shout out to Carti's burner from any tarriffs. Anyway, lizab was here today too. She's got a new project coming now. She's super talented.
And she's super slim too, man.
By the way. Yeah, she she feels good.
You know, she says she hit her goal and I know that was amazing for her, but she took two years to kind of like get out the limelight.
You know.
She's got a new project, Love in real life, and she talks about what made her come up with that because Social media is a harsh place, y'all.
It's a real life.
It's nothing like them social media streets. All right, but the songs still bad is out right now, And of course this is your show, so you have the last word.
I was working with two girls and they both got pregnant at the same time, and I convince both of them to get an abortion, but then the second one ended up getting pregnant again and happened two and soon.
All right, this is to Ciza. I'm asking to shina light on Bewitchfield family. We lost our son in twenty twenty three, A tell twenty twenty three, at the young age of twenty five. Just continue to rest in parent I just mark with them, we love you, we miss you.
