Lemme Tell You Somethin'

It's Pride Month, and while the world's out here voguing, Elon Musk and Trump are busy pulling each other's wigs. I share my thoughts on the L.A. protest against ICE, break down the tight NYC mayoral race, and side-eye Kai Cenat for not knowing who Wale is (???). Plus: BET Awards, a breaking strike, and a PSA on why I don't mess with Virgos—y'all know why. IG: @itswista Podcast IG: @Wordswithwista

In this episode, we own up to being wrong (growth!). Trump's out here handing out pardons like party favors to rappers and reality TV stars. Cardi B's love life is back on the main stage: Offset wants spousal support (?!), while her new new Stefon Diggs allegedly got caught with some mystery powder. Muni Long got real bold calling out fans even though her music catalog isn't exactly platinum. Meanwhile, Tabitha Brown wants you to keep spending at Target for the culture, even though people are boycotting. And Hailey Bieber just secured a billion-dollars by selling Rhode Beauty to ELF—after only 3 years in business. Whew. Let's get into it.

In this chaotic episode, we talk about the plans to ban international students from Harvard. The South African refugees are already over the American dream, Layoffs are turning LinkedIn into Shark Tank auditions. Tory Lanez allegedly got cut up in jail and is now begging Gavin Newsom for a second chance. Chris Brown got arrested in the UK (surprise, surprise), Diddy's courtroom drama gets deeper, and we unpack Cassie and Kid Cudi's powerful statements, and a look at Halle and DDG's custody drama.

This week's episode is giving global chaos with a side of glitter. We've got an American Pope, but will he finally address the mess in the church? Skims co-founder Emma Grede is catching heat for saying work-life balance is your problem, not your boss's. Tariffs are making holiday shopping feel like a luxury sport, Beyoncé is slaying the stage on her Cowboy Carter tour (as she should), and the Met Gala gave everything—except Doechii might've shaded her staff. Diddy's legal team allegedly wants no women on the jury (gee, wonder why), Another dating coach exposed for using his “game” to finesse his audience and a listener sent tea about a GoFundMe-funded Nigerian wedding that… well… didn't quite fund. Grab a snack, it's messy. Personal IG: @Itswista Podcast IG: @wordswithwista

In this episode, I talk about how rejection might just be redirection, the return of student loans and Uncle Sam threatening to snatch your check real quick, and the Catholic Church entering its next era—could it be time for a Black Pope? Kevin Gates needs to worry less about LeBron's marriage and more about his own entanglements, influencers have added “Jesus” to their brand kit, and Florida continues to Florida with a woman impersonating ICE to kidnap her ex's new wife (yes, for real). We also cover Gilbert Arenas' son's tragic Cybertruck accident, Joe Dwet File's legal drama with someone mad their song got no streams, Tyla catching heat from Britney's fanbase, and Shannon Sharpe's scandal just got way too dark. Let's unpack the mess. Personal IG: @itswista Podcast IG: @wordswithwista

In this week's episode, we're talking doors closing, prices rising, and common sense disappearing. From Shein and Temu playing the tariff game (as if the quality was ever worth it), to luxury brands getting exposed by China for basically AliExpress-ing us all. We also unpack people taking out payment plans to stand in the desert at Coachella, and Zeus Network stars are learning that reality TV fame doesn't translate to Hollywood fame. Plus, a serious turn with the FSU shooting and Luigi Mangione's charges in the unaliving of a healthcare CEO. Oh, and Kash Doll out here wiping her nose with a $20 like it's Kleenex—because flex culture is getting weird and won't survive the next decade. Personal IG: @ItsWista Podcast IG: @WordsWithWista

This week's episode is a wild ride through chaos, controversy, and a little bit of capitalism. We're talking about the looming tariff drama that could make your next shopping trip a little more expensive (ugh, not the retail therapy tax!), a tragic roof collapse in the Dominican Republic (RIP to the victims — sending love and prayers), and the Zeus Network getting dragged through the mud (finally, right?). Plus, Anthony Edwards' baby momma saga hits a new level of messy, Terrence Howard claims Diddy tried to shoot his shot (?!), and yet another celebrity is throwing their hat into the presidential ring. Can we not? Grab your snacks, your tea, and maybe a helmet. Personal IG: Itswista Podcast IG: Wordswithwista

Burna Boy flexes his skills in kreyol on Joe Dwet File's 4Kampe remix—could this be a major win for Haitian music? Meanwhile, Trick Daddy's in hot water for saying he won't date women over 35 because they have standards. Pop The Balloon is coming to Netflix, but what does that mean for the YouTube series? Speaking of things losing their spark, why are dating shows so boring now? Fivio Foreign has been locked up since January, and, um... no one noticed until March. Bishop Marvin Sapp locked his congregation out until they ran him 40k in donations (God's CashApp?).DoorDash teaming up with Klarna: genius or a financial trap? And in the biggest “oops” of the week, a government official leaked war plans by adding The Atlantic's Editor-in-Chief to the group chat. Yikes. Snag your fave lip glosses and oils now with 20% off!

This week, we're diving into a little bit of everything—so buckle up! First off, the power of the tongue is real, and some of y'all are out here manifesting L's instead of wins (might be time to speak nicer to yourself, bestie). Meanwhile, folks attacking Tesla dealerships are now being labeled as hate crimes. Kanye is spiraling (again), and at this point, it's like watching a rerun nobody asked for. But on a sweeter note, Normani and DK Metcalf are engaged, and Jonathan Majors & Meagan Good just tied the knot—love is clearly in the air, and wedding season is working overtime! On the flip side, Jess Hilarious had some words for The Breakfast Club, reminding everyone that even when you're the talent, the corporate machine still owns the stage. Let's get into it!

In this episode, we're diving into the chaos: the stock market is in shambles, a recession and government shutdown might be knocking on our doors, and Trump is out here trying to demolish the Department of Education—so what's gonna happen to our student loans?? Meanwhile, Tesla owners are losing their minds. We also gotta talk about influencers—one just got arrested for unaliving someone while drunk driving, while others are suddenly turning to religion for a rebrand. Tory Lanez dropped a new album, but did he convince listeners? Wendy Williams updates continue with the #FreeWendy movement, and let's break the myth that all musicians are rich (spoiler: they're not). Oh, and Jay-Z just hit Tony Buzzbee and the alleged victim with a defamation lawsuit. Snag your fave lip glosses and oils now with 20% off! Use code WordsWithWista at NouCosmetics.shop.
