Country singer and rapper Shaboozey is probably best known for his features on Beyonce's “Cowboy Carter” album, or for his viral, chart-topping single, “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” Now he has returned to the scene with a new, star-studded record about an outlaw out to avenge her father's death. It's a genre-defying concept album that fuses hip hop with country, spoken-word and ballads – and that features Jamie Foxx, Kehlani, Leon Bridges, Gunna and Sam Elliott. On The Sunday Story, Shaboozey joins Ayesha Rascoe to talk about the inspiration – and intentions – behind “The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales.”Support public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.

Today’s show started with the big announcement that Lauren London has been cast to play Snoop Dogg’s late mother, Beverly Tate, in the upcoming Snoop Dogg biopic. The role is especially meaningful because Tate is credited with giving Snoop his famous nickname, and recent reports reveal the film will also feature actors portraying Tupac Shakur and Dr. Dre as it chronicles the rap icon’s rise to fame. The show also discussed Busta Rhymes’ settlement with a former assistant, ending a legal battle that began with allegations of unpaid wages and workplace misconduct. According to recent court filings, the dispute was settled for $25,000, a dramatic reduction from the nearly $6 million originally sought by the former employee. The conversation continued with Beyoncé’s remarks about natural beauty, authenticity, and self-confidence, as the superstar encouraged people to embrace individuality rather than chase perfection, a message that has resonated widely amid ongoing debates about beauty standards and social media pressure. The crew also unpacked the buzz surrounding Janet Jackson’s absence from the blockbuster Michael Jackson biopic, with new comments from nephew Jaafar Jackson suggesting Janet may have declined to be portrayed because she has considered telling her own story through a separate film project. Elsewhere, the show weighed in on a headline-making surrogacy dispute involving a critically ill newborn and debated who should have the final say when a surrogate and biological parents disagree about a child’s medical future.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show tackled a mix of major headlines, celebrity news, and cultural conversations, starting with the Trump administration’s decision to temporarily pause immigrant visa appointments worldwide while consular officers undergo additional training tied to screening applicants for possible reliance on public benefits. The show also highlighted actor and singer Tyrese Gibson’s arrival in Uganda, where he is helping launch the country’s “Explore Uganda Coffee Tourism” campaign, a nationwide effort designed to showcase Uganda’s coffee industry, cultural heritage, and tourism attractions through visits to the Source of the Nile, coffee farms, and the Africa Coffee Park. Recent reports note that Uganda is using high-profile international figures like Tyrese to boost global awareness of its coffee sector and tourism potential. The biggest emotional moment of the show centered on the passing of country music legend Dolly Parton at age 80, with the crew sharing personal memories and celebrating her impact on music, philanthropy, and culture. The conversation was amplified by tributes from stars including Beyoncé, who called Parton “the North Star” and praised her influence on generations of artists following their collaboration on Cowboy Carter. The show also explored Tyrese’s claim that his hit “How You Gonna Act Like That” was inspired by Kim Kardashian’s first marriage, while a lively debate broke out after 50 Cent declared that hip-hop is a “young man’s game,” prompting pushback from Rick Ross and others who argued that artists should continue creating as long as they remain connected to the culture and their fans. Along with Wellness Wednesday advice from Dr. MJ Collier, the morning was filled with heartfelt tributes, celebrity tea, and thought-provoking discussion about legacy, longevity, and cultural impact.

WOW. Not only did the dethroned Miss North Carolina NOT apologize for using the N-word, or any other offensive previous social media posts, she claimed her right to use the racist slurs because her great grandfather identified as black AND because it’s popular slang used by Beyonce and other artists. In her new lawsuit, which is a hell of a read, Brittany Boltinhouse claims pageant officials “maliciously coordinated to publish a narrative portraying her as a racist, homophobe, transphobe, and intolerable bigot.” She takes zero responsibility for her past actions, and instead is asking for an unidentified sum of money for her “excruciating reputational destruction.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What starts as a discussion about age gaps in relationships quickly evolves into a deeper debate about influence, consent, friendship, and the responsibilities we have when someone clearly tells us who they are and what they want. Along the way, Jay, Torrian, and Chef Von unpack the challenges of loneliness in the Black LGBTQ+ community, whether power can exist beyond age, and where the line is between genuine connection and manipulation. As always, the conversation gets passionate, personal, and a little messy, but it leaves plenty for listeners to think about.

Zach Heinzerling is an Academy Award-nominated and Emmy Award-winning director based in New York City. He began his career at HBO working on four consecutive Emmy Award-winning documentaries and the Emmy Award-winning series “24/7” as a Field Producer and Cinematographer. In 2012, he left HBO to complete his feature debut, the multi-award-winning film, “Cutie and the Boxer”, which he both directed and shot. “Cutie and the Boxer” was nominated for the 2014 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. The film also won a 2015 Emmy Award for Best Feature Documentary. In 2015 he was enlisted by Beyoncé Knowles-Carter to direct the five-part web series “Self-Titled” for her album, “Beyoncé.” In 2019 he directed an episode of “Dirty Money” for Netflix. In 2021, he directed the critically acclaimed 6-part series “McCartney 3,2,1” starring Sir Paul McCartney and Rick Rubin for Hulu. Salon called it “quite simply, the most engaging documentary ever made about the songwriting exploits of popular music's most successful composer.” His latest docu series entitled “Rafa” is a four part show for HBO that follows Nadal through his final professional season. He is also the director of “Stolen Youth: Inside the Cult of Sarah Lawrence” which the The New Yorker calls “a remarkable work, advancing the prestige true-crime genre's slow but steady reorientation toward centering victims,” while Variety raved “…with a startling rawness and directness, Heinzerling's work makes a case for itself as an unusually sensitive and strong outing in its genre.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Cash The Record Vol. 7: Tupac Shakur — What Is His Signature Song? Tupac Shakur doesn't have one obvious signature song. He has nine legitimate candidates, and none of them agree with each other. In this episode, John Cash runs all nine — California Love, Dear Mama, Changes, Hail Mary, Brenda's Got A Baby, I Get Around, Keep Ya Head Up, How Do U Want It, and Hit 'Em Up — through the Cash The Record five-question rubric to determine which song actually defines who Tupac was. Along the way: the Library of Congress honor that made "Dear Mama" the first solo hip-hop record in American history preserved as a national treasure. The Vatican's surprising endorsement of "Changes." The lawsuit "How Do U Want It" triggered from a national civil rights activist. And the strangest stat of the episode — a Tupac song that never charted once while he was alive, and debuted on Billboard nearly thirty years after its release. Real fans weigh in with their own picks (and get roasted for it). Nine songs get graded, eliminated, and ranked. And by the end, one verdict stands — with the chart data, certifications, and cultural history to defend it. Subscribe to Cash The Record for a new episode every month. Next up: Beyoncé. Topics covered: Tupac Shakur discography, Dear Mama Billboard history, California Love chart facts, Changes Grammy nomination, Hail Mary Don Killuminati, hip-hop signature songs, 2Pac legacy, RIAA certifications, Library of Congress National Recording Registry, hip-hop history podcast.
The Rickey Smiley Morning Show covered a mix of headline-making stories and heartfelt conversations, led by the long-awaited start of the Tupac Shakur murder trial. Prosecutors allege Duane “Keefe D” Davis orchestrated the 1996 killing as an act of retaliation, while the defense argues the case lacks hard evidence and questions the credibility of Davis’ previous public statements. The cast also discussed newly resurfaced footage of a teenage Beyoncé sitting on the lap of a music executive while speaking with Michael Jackson, a clip that has reignited conversations online about power dynamics in the music industry and how behaviors once viewed differently are now scrutinized through a modern lens. Meanwhile, fans were reminded that true love can look different for everyone as Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham recently made a rare public appearance together, quieting speculation about their relationship and highlighting a partnership that has lasted nearly four decades despite never marrying. The show also spotlighted the ongoing case of 18-year-old Nolan Wells, whose family continues to push for transparency surrounding his death after a Fourth of July trip to Mississippi’s Horn Island. Recent developments include calls for federal involvement, the NAACP joining the family’s legal team, and efforts to conduct a joint forensic examination of Wells’ cellphone as loved ones seek answers. Elsewhere, the crew weighed in on the growing number of adults living with their parents as rising housing costs and economic pressures reshape what independence looks like for younger generations. Throughout the morning, listeners were treated to the show’s signature blend of serious news, celebrity buzz, humor, and honest conversations about family, relationships, and the challenges facing communities today.

Jonathan Todd Schwartz was once entrusted with the fortunes and futures of some of the biggest names in entertainment, including Beyoncé, Linkin Park, and Alanis Morissette. Behind the image of the disciplined CPA and trusted Hollywood business manager, however, Jonathan was living a secret life. Childhood trauma, cocaine use, and an out-of-control gambling addiction consumed him. He lost millions gambling and, as his addictions spiralled, embezzled over $7 million from the clients who trusted him most. What began in his mind as money he would "borrow" and quickly repay became an elaborate betrayal built on falsified records, concealed withdrawals, and years of deception. When the truth finally surfaced, Jonathan lost his career, reputation, marriage, relationship with his sons, and his freedom. He was sentenced to six years in federal prison. In this raw and unflinching conversation, Jonathan confronts the damage he caused without seeking sympathy or forgiveness. He opens up about suicidal thoughts, the moment his double life collapsed, facing his wife and children, the brutal reality of prison, and the slow work of accepting responsibility for harm that can never be undone. More than a decade into sobriety, Jonathan now works as a therapist, helping people confront addiction, trauma, and the secret lives that keep them trapped. "I make very little money, but I'm the happiest I've ever been."

Bridges open up the world of a song: they're a breath of fresh air and a point of contrast, typically delivered right before the final chorus. But sometimes they accomplish even more, changing the whole meaning of a song by introducing a note of doubt, or even defiance. This is what the best artists do, from Beyoncé to the Beatles to Taylor Swift, but some critics are concerned that the bridge is in danger of being demolished. On this episode, Charlie and Nate speak to songwriter and artist Tayla Parx, who's worked with everyone from Ariana Grande to Panic! At the Disco, to learn why the bridge matters more than ever — and why an artist might still want to skip it altogether.
