We kick things off with the latest on the Nigeria visa drama, and Trump's Big Beautiful Bill before diving into explosive updates on the Diddy case and those long-whispered Epstein tapes.

Plus: Nicki Minaj's latest rant (was it valid or just vibes?), Justin Bieber's comeback rumors, Drake's new drop, and Burna Boy's album rollout

On this episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast, the studio dives into four headline-grabbing stories. “American Idol” winner Jamal Roberts turned down a key to the city in Laurel, Mississippi, citing death threats linked to resentment in the town—he ultimately wants to focus on his music, not the spotlight. Shifting to cultural trends, the crew noticed during the “What’s Trending” segment that Black family reunions are increasingly fading from tradition, a conversation prompted by the declining attendance and discussions around their deep-rooted significance. Finally, the show addresses Lauryn Hill’s famously late Essence Fest set—delayed until 2:30 a.m. and ending to a near-empty stadium. Organizers have since defended her, stating that the delay stemmed from event scheduling issues, not the artist herself.

632. Chip Lococo discusses his novel, The Devil's Jazz: A Gripping Historical Thriller of Murder, Music, and Madness in 1918 New Orleans, about the infamous Axman of New Orleans. “They have never caught me and they never will... I have been, am, and will be the worst spirit that ever existed either in fact or the realm of fancy.” — The Axman In the haunted heart of New Orleans, as World War I draws to a close, a sinister presence stalks the streets. A brutal serial killer—known only as the Axman—emerges from the shadows, targeting the city's Sicilian immigrant community with chilling precision. Inspired by true events, The Devil's Jazz resurrects one of America's most disturbing unsolved murder cases in a city steeped in music, mystery, and myth. Retired detective Giancarlo Rabito is pulled back into the darkness when the killings begin. The press fans hysteria. The public panics. And when the Axman sends a blood-chilling letter to the newspapers — promising death unless every home plays jazz on a chosen night — the city answers with a desperate and defiant flood of music. Chip LoCoco was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he attended Jesuit High School and received his BA degree from Loyola University in 1990 with a concentration in History. He then went on to receive his JD degree from Loyola University Law School in 1993 and joined his father's firm, Many & LoCoco, after being sworn in as an attorney in October, 1993.

A bill recently advanced in the state Legislature that would give a $10,000 tax break to property owners who install a fortified roof. This comes after a recent study found that houses with fortified roofs in coastal Alabama were nearly 75% less likely to file insurance claims after hurricanes. This bill moves forward while a different insurance bill, written by state Senator Royce Duplesis, died in committee. Capitol Access reporter Brooke Thorington spoke to Duplesis about what comes next. A new series from Verite News tells the story of slavery in New Orleans. Titled, “Devil's Bargain,” the essays recount how the slave trade came to the city, sustained the economy and left a terrible legacy.

Mahisha Dellinger, star of “Mind Your Business with Mahisha,” a business show on Oprah Winfrey's Network, pioneered the natural hair care market when she launched CURLS in 2002, a leading organic hair care company that took the natural hair movement by storm. Her journey to the top didn't come without its own set of challenges. Riding the wave of her success seemed effortless from the outside looking in. The taxing demands of entrepreneurship coupled with the stressors of trying to balance it all, while having it all resulted in her search for a way to “power through.” “Like millions of women, I often drank to cope. As life continued to happen & my day-to-day pressure increased...so did my drinking. This daily habit was beyond what any medical professional deemed safe. I knew I needed to make a change for not only me, but for my children. I have this large family that Iove, I have to be around for them…I want to be around for my grandkids. I began to search for a non-alcoholic, functional cocktail that I could enjoy when I needed to wind down. More importunately I was looking for a cocktail that would protect and repair my liver, aide in gut health, and detoxify my body. Impossible right? Not at all…the rest was Huzzy history!” Dellinger crafted Huzzy Smart Sips with a curated list of liver protecting properties, detoxifying antioxidants, and a proprietary blend will help of euphoric enhancing ingredients that'll keep you in high spirits all night long. Every Huzzy sip was made to rejuvenate & protect your liver, cleanse your system, aide your gut and invigorate your vitality. Now she drinks Huzzy Smart Sips to relax and revitalize her body, naturally. Dellinger is an official member of the Forbes Business Council and was appointed a Small Business Advisor for their entrepreneur community. Black Enterprise awarded Dellinger the 2023 Business Disruptor award. Entrepreneur named her 1 of 100 Powerful Women in the US. She served as a keynote speaker for a host of organizations across the nation including Yelp, AT&T, PepsiCO, Black Enterprise Women of Power & their Vision 20/20 Entrepreneur Conference, Essence Fest, Fast Money, Entrepreneur Magazine, and more. Dellinger has also been featured on several television shows throughout the nation and has been seen on OWN, BET, Revolt TV, Good Morning America, etc.. Mahisha's mantra, “To whom much is given, much is required” led to the founding of her MBA style program & non profit, Black Women Making Millions Academy, that is set to help 25,000 businesses scale with over $450 million dollars' worth of free resources to African American women all over the nation.

It is an honor and privilege to welcome singer-songwriter and performer Liv Warfield to The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. A former track star and gymnast, Peoria, Illinois-born Liv Warfield began building her legend in Portland, Oregon. Despite having no formal background in singing, she gained the respect of local superstars and became an icon in her own right. While she takes cues from musical influences like Nina Simone, Etta James, Mavis Staples, Sade, Tina Turner, and Mary J. Blige, Warfield has carved out a style all her own, which can best be described as “alternative soul with a lil bit of Rock ‘n' Roll.” In 2006, she self-released her debut album, Embrace Me. By 2009, she caught the eye of the one-and-only Prince and ultimately joined his group, the “New Power Generation.” After touring for several years and soaking up as much knowledge as she could from the ultimate music mentor, Warfield made her big splash on the national scene in 2014, first as a featured artist for VH1's “You Oughta Know” campaign and then with the release of her major label debut album “The Unexpected,” which was executive produced by Prince. What followed were show-stopping performances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with David Letterman, and The Arsenio Hall Show; a 2014 Soul Train Music Award and nominations for two others; a BET Best New Artist Award nomination; an interview with National Public Radio; and high-profile cosigns from Lionel Richie, Cyndi Lauper, and Nancy Wilson of HEART. That same year, Warfield's performance closing out Essence Fest was hailed as one of the most memorable after-shows at the New Orleans House of Blues. In 2015, the accolades grew, with Warfield and the NPG Hornz being named one of the top 10 bands to see at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. It's no wonder she has left celebrities like Letterman declaring it's time to “cancel show business!” In 2017, Warfield began the next phase of her ascension, collaborating with another of her childhood influences, the aforementioned Nancy Wilson, to create the band Roadcase Royale. Their lead single, “Get Loud,” was featured prominently in the 2017 Women's March, and they released their debut album, First Things First, later that year. If that weren't enough, their remake of HEART's “These Dreams” was featured in Molly's Game, which starred Idris Elba, Jessica Chastain, and Kevin Costner. Warfield recently recorded music for the Oscar-nominated HBO documentary Da Bronx. She also tipped her hat into the theater realm to rave reviews playing Madame ZinZanni in the Chicago version of Teatro ZinZanni. This past summer, Liv Warfield auditioned for the NBC talent competition America's Got Talent: Season 19. Liv and her band performed an original song: “Stare,” that received a standing ovation from not only judges Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara, and Simon Cowell but also a Golden Buzzer from the Got Talent creator. During the AGT: Season 19 Quarterfinals, Liv and the band blew the audience away by performing “The Unexpected,” a song Prince wrote for her. In this edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Liv Warfield spoke about the lessons she learned from Prince, her time on AGT, and performing in Teatro ZinZanni.

We're back and more energized than ever! It's been a whirlwind of experiences, from electrifying stages at Essence Fest to powerful moments at the DNC. This episode of "Across Generations" is all about reflection and celebration. I open up about the importance of having spaces dedicated to Black women, where we can discuss everything from the fluidity of our sexual identities to our challenges with online dating, and even our place in the world of sports. And yes, witnessing a Black woman stepping into a position of leadership for our nation is a milestone we must acknowledge, even as we confront the harsher realities of global conflicts. Kamala Harris's recent debate performance left me in awe, and I couldn't help but reflect on my personal experiences with her. Her ability to own a room is nothing short of inspiring, and it's moments like these that remind us of the critical need for voter mobilization and awareness. I also share my thoughts on media consumption, stressing the importance of diverse news sources, like The New York Times, Al Jazeera, and The Root, while sounding a cautionary note on the often misleading world of social media. Finding the balance between staying informed and not falling into the trap of disinformation is a tightrope we all walk. Lastly, let's talk about the power of connection among Black women. We dive into how social media can be both a tool for spreading truth and a weapon for misinformation, especially against marginalized communities. It's imperative that platforms hire more native Spanish speakers to better address targeted disinformation. I also reflect on the profound sense of community I've felt at our annual retreats—a sanctuary for open dialogue and mutual support. A recent heartfelt encounter on a flight underscored just how deep our unspoken connections run. Join us behind the scenes of "Across Generations," brought to life by the incredible team at Will Packer Media and iHeart Podcast, as we continue this journey of storytelling and connection.
