Speaker 2 (01:28):
It's time to shine a light.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
This is where we spread some love, we spread some positivity,
and we have a really special one today. My producer
Dan had some good news and he wants to shine
a night.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
Yeah. I actually might cry doing this. So I want
to shine a light on my mom. Her name is Sharon.
She had a cancer scare last week. It was melanoma,
which you know, God forbid if she were to get it.
It is very treatable, but we caught it early and
thank god, she is cancer free. It was something that
was weighing very heavy on me and my family for

(01:58):
quite some time. I was trying to be quiet about it,
but you know, sometimes it's hard to hide some emotions.
So I appreciate you for being that for me, Angela.
But you know, it was something that like my dad's
a two time cancer survivor, so I kind of like
coped with the fact that he had it, but coping
with the fact that my mother could potentially have it
was very heavy.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Well, we love that for you and for Mama Sharon
for making sure that she called her melanoma early.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
That is a blessing.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
You were definitely in here stressed out when she wasn't
responding to text messages.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
I was wrong about her doctor's appointment. I thought it
was at eleven, but it was at four.

And when we come back, let's get right into it.
Ryan Garcia, he's got a lot going on after his
win against Devin Haney.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Will tell you the type of trolling that he's doing now.
It's way up in the rooms.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
From industry shade to all of gossip out sending.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Angel that all right, it's way up. I'm Angela yee.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
My producer Dan is here with me today Top of
the Morning, Top of the Morning. Say yeah, and let's
talk about all of this box. I feel like this
boxing drama is all over the place right now. All right, Well,
Javante Davis is saying that Floyd Mayweather is being.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Held hostage in Dubai.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
He said that he's been taking people's money and not
doing what they paid him to do. And he also
said that Floyd is a hater and he said, tell him,
I'll send him a wire.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Let my fing family go.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
And then he said that money looking funny like that
fake hair on his head and face. Let me call fifty.
We got to get this N word home by Monday.
And then Fifty responded, of course, and he said, oh nah,
this is real. He said Javante would not saying nothing
like that if it wasn't official. Me and chan't be beefing.
But he my brother, I got some money if he
needed so. Not sure what's going on there, but he

(04:52):
said Champ got a lot of money. He just can't help,
but he will beat the people out of the money
if he can. You think this is a two thing.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
I was just going to ask you that.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, I'm not sure.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
I'm not sure what he got paid to do out there,
if he didn't do it, if he's being held hostage.
But I do know there's all this boxing drama, like
I said, and Ryan Garcia is accusing Davante Davis of
sleeping with Floyd Mayweather's daughter. Yeah, yeah, And you know,
Ryan Garcia just says things, so we don't know if
we can believe this or not. But he's I guess
insinuating that's why the two of them aren't getting along.

Speaker 6 (05:24):
Dramatic for his daughter. And that's not even a secret,
that's not even like, that's not something I'm exposing.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
It's messy, right, It's messy. And Ryan's being even messier.
He did a Devin Hainey dish track after he beat
him at the Barclays, and here's what that sounded like.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
They didn't think.

Speaker 7 (05:40):
That I work in but I got in there and
got the job.

Speaker 6 (05:46):
The world.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Got that handy past throwing in mind.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
I mean, talk about a sore winner. He's got so
much going on right now. I don't know what's going
to happen with him. Me the hell fight tank again,
I hope so yeah, And you think he would win
this side? I mean, hey, all right, speaking of winning,
Taylor Swift two point six one million units. That's the
best number for any album in nine years for the

(06:16):
Tortured Poets Department.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Can you believe that the last album to debut.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
With a higher number was Adele's twenty five that had
three point four eight two million and twenty fifteen.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yeah, And things have changed so much since then, it's
really hard to do that. But she said, my mind
is blown. I'm completely floored by the love you've shown
this album. Two point six million? Are you actually serious?
Thank you for listening, streaming and welcoming Tortured Poets into
your life. Feeling completely overwhelmed. I was already so fired
up to get back to the tour, but you're doing this.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
May ninth can't come soon enough.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
Those numbers are crazy.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
That is huge.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
You look at like forty k for first week and
that's a win.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
I mean two point six one million, that is absolutely ridiculous.
And you know she had the new album streaming in
sales and a thirty one song deluxe version that was released.
Also a lot going on there all right, well that
is your yet and when we come back, we have
about last night. That's where we discussed what we did

(07:12):
last night. I was at a party at the Mayor's
house at Gracie Mansion. I'm gonna tell you guys about
that evening that we had shout out to all of
the small business owners who are listening.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
You know, I got love for y'all.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
In the meantime, let's show some love to a girl, Ashanti,
who is about to have this baby. And listen Unfoolish.
I don't think this matters anymore. I think she's about
to do happy. But anyway, here's a shanty and biggie
with Unfoolish.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
It's way up.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
So about last night, Yes, I went down.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
It's way up, Angela yee, And it's time for about
last night. My producer Dan is rocking with me today.
I'm in the process of I have this new house
that I've been working on for over three years. It's
been a nightmare for me, but I supposed well. I
have deliveries coming into my new house, so I'll be
moving in there soon. But it's a lot of work

(08:07):
and I've been in my old house for like eleven years.
And when I tell you, all I did this weekend
was packed And you know how you think this is
only going to take a couple of hours. Well, let's
just say I was up until three am trying to
get it together.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
You don't realize how much stuff you have.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
You don't realize how much stuff you have. You don't
know what you want to get rid of. And I
kind of lightweight think I'm a hoarder.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
You are?

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Why do you say that?

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Definitely are? How do you know everything? No?

Speaker 2 (08:30):
I don't. Why do you say I'm a hoarder?

Speaker 4 (08:32):
Whenever stuff gets sent to the station, You're was like, oh, yeah,
keep that, I'll take that home. I'll take that home,
and then it sits in the station for like, I
feel bad.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
I'm gonna tell you what I feel bad about.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
When somebody like gives me something and don't let it
have like my name on it, I feel bad.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
I can't throw it away.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Because I'm like they may went out of their way
to do this, So yes, I think I am lightweight
to hold it out. Like I was looking through stuff
and I'm like, why do I still have this? And
then I have my taxes from like two thousand eight,
I'm like, should I just I got a paper shredder?
I had one at home, so I was shredding. I
had like eight bags of paperwork that I had to shred.

(09:07):
But I literally have stuff from when I was on
tour back in the day with like fifty cent in eminem.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
I have the books, I know.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
That's what I'm saying. Am I supposed to throw that away?
Because how do you know what's a good memory to keep?
And how do you know what to throw away? You know,
I have stuff from when I was on tour with
Wu Tang. You know how long ago that was. But
it also feels like memories. Yeah, And so what I
think somebody needs to invent, because I've been looking for
this is like a huge oversized scrap book for things
like that. That could be like a dope coffee book table,

(09:37):
but like a big scrap book for all of your
old memories, you know what I mean. Because I found
so much stuff that I was like, Ooh, I can't
throw this out.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
I have to keep this. But then at the same time,
I'm like, should I just throw it out?

Speaker 3 (09:48):
How do y'all decide like what to get rid of
and what to keep what's so important to you. It'd
be like a ticket to when I got a chance
to tait court side of the game, I'm like, do
I throw this away?

Speaker 4 (09:59):
It's a ticket in my.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
In my head.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
One day I'm gonna put together a scrap book and
like write something under each thing.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
But I don't think it's ever gonna happen. I have plans,
though I have.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
That's what happens, and that's a hoarding.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
And then the clothes that you're like, one day, this
is gonna fit again when I get back in the gym.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
One day, this is gonna fit. I don't want to
throw it out, just sell it.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
All right, Well that is about last night, and when
we come back, it's time for tell us a secret.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
Thank y'all for calling always eight hundred two ninet two
fifty one to fifty. If you couldn't get through, leave
that message and when we come back, we have your Yet,
Let's talk about Kanye West. He is accused of discriminating
against black employees. Will tell you about this new lawsuit.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yo, she's about to blow the lead about this five.

Speaker 7 (15:05):
Let's get it.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Oh yeah, angelus feeling that ye tea, Come and get
the tea.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
It's the way I'm angela yee and it's time for
your yee t. And Kanye West has been named in
a new lawsuit. This is an ex employee who's filed this.
They're saying that he discriminated against the black men and
women on his team. According to court documents, they said
a former security guard, Benjamin Deshaun Provo actually suffered severe
emotional distress. He is from Donda Academy and according to

(15:34):
this lawsuit, Kanye and members of his management team subjected
Provo and other black employees to less favorable treatment than
their white counterparts. Specifically, Kanye frequently screamed at and berated
black employees, while in contrast, he never so much as
raised his tone of voice toward white staff.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
What do you think about this, Dan for now?

Speaker 4 (15:54):
He says.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
She say, yeah, it's it's just something that can be proven,
because you'll need other people to come forward and say
that this is true.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
I don't know if that they would have this in video.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
I was just going to say if the accusers filmed
it now.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
He also says that Kanye forced him to cut his hair,
and that he would ban books from prominent black leaders,
including Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Junior.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
Wow, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
That sounds absolutely ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
He said he would ridicule his black employees for wearing locks,
even though Probo mentioned he did so because it was
part of his Muslim faith. All right, So we'll see
what happens with this lawsuit. In that same lawsuit, they
alleged that Kanye attempted to install a jail at his
school to cage students and gave preferential treatment to white employees,
and even threatened to punch him during what he referred

(16:40):
to as a temper tantrum.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
Can I just say something about the easy March? You
know how he was giving it or not giving it,
but selling it for twenty dollars everything. I got all
of it, and not a single piece of clothing fits.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
I saw people that were getting that clothes. They were huge.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
The shoes are massive. The shirt is like actually small,
and I got it to be oversized.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
I saw people complaining when they got it. Who was
it was?

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Kai also got some and it was like ridiculous, and
they don't even so basically they're just unloading stuff.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
So they only have like three sizes. It's like size one, two,
and three, and then size one is like for they're
all for like wide ranges of sizes. So like the
shoes that I got, I got a size two, but
it's for sizes that range between like nine and twelve
and I'm a size ten and they fit like in
eleven and a half twelve, and they that's nice size.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
You can have them all right.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
Shannon Chad Oto Senko on their podcast, We're talking about
dating women with children and Oto Sinko says this is
a must for him.

Speaker 9 (17:37):
Here's what he said, I ain't dating you unless you
got kids, because women with kids have structure, they have discipline.

Speaker 10 (17:43):
You know.

Speaker 9 (17:43):
Women that don't have kids, they never have snacks in
the pantry, And women that don't have kids don't never
have no food on.

Speaker 11 (17:50):
You know what.

Speaker 9 (17:50):
They always want to do goad meat and give looks
like it's a goddamn fashion show.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
You guys in the room. There's two guys in here
with me. Do y'all only date women with kids?

Speaker 4 (18:00):
Engaged? Now?

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Ye'hre engaged? Yeah? And she doesn't have any kids? All right? Well, listen,
I don't know how too that is. I don't have
any kids.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
I know a lot of my friends prefer well, you
know what, it's a preference if you have kids. People
with kids do tend to like to date other people
with kids. I will say that because you know, then
you can see what type of father or mother that
person is. But hey, look, if that's his preference, go
for it. And I believe he's in a relationship already,
So there you have it, all right. Wendy Williams ex

(18:27):
Kevin Hunter is accusing her guardian of stealing her money,
and he said, I'm not just concerned about the money
she's coming and swooped in and depleted the account.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
In that time, this has become a real travesty.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
So the judge has ruled that they have to hand
over the financial documents and that any further issue should
be hashed out in arbitration. According to the judge, it's
very difficult, you know. They want to make sure that
all this information is coming out right now. So the
guardian Sabrina Morrissey, won't disclose these financial statements because he
says she's been skimming off the top. But she's got

(18:59):
to be more transparent about what's going on there. So
we'll see what ends up happening in court. This is
awful for Wendy at the end of the day, all
this money that she works so hard to make and
now she doesn't have control over any of it and
people are fighting over her money in court. Well, that
is your yet and when we come back, we have
under the radar. These are the stories that are not
necessarily in the headlines. They are flying under the radar.

(19:23):
One of them has to do with the show Baby
Reindeer that's on Netflix. People were so mad at me
for making them watch this, but they were so in
love with that show.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
All right, it's way up. Under the radar is next
the news news.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
This in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar, all right.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
His way up with Angela Yea. I'm Angela Yea. And
it's time for under the radar for you guys who
know I've been watching. Well, I did watch Baby Reindeer.
I kind of binge watched the whole thing on Netflix
in two days. And the woman, because this is a
true story, who he was talking about in here, actually
now has come forward to say that she is the
victim because he he's written a show about her, and

(20:02):
she said, I'm being bullied for fame. And now she's
telling her side of the story. And this all started
on Netflix and both Navy who is our board up?
And Dan, you guys both watch Baby Reindeer?

Speaker 4 (20:13):
Right, I actually did it.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
I know you're all right. Well, it's been viewed more
than thirteen million times when this article was written, and
I'm sure a lot more by then. And he said
he got over forty one thousand emails, seven hundred and
forty four tweets and letters, totally one hundred and six
pages three hundred and fifty hours of voicemail messages from her.
He called her Martha in the show, but according to
The Daily Mail, they were pretty much able to find

(20:37):
out who she was based off of the fact that
she is a lawyer, was a lawyer and also had
a background in stalking and had gotten in trouble for
that before. And she also he said he protected her
identity by changing some of the key details. But both
the women are Scottish, both study law at university, both
are around twenty years older than him, and they both

(20:58):
used highly sexual eyes language in their speech and writing.
So now she's saying that she is the person that
is being stalked, and that she said, I've never owned
a toy baby reindeer, and I wouldn't have had any
connection with Richard gadd about a childhood toy either, And
so the woman they said in real life actually looks
like the woman who plays her character on the show.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
So I don't know if this is going to make
you want to watch this yet.

Speaker 4 (21:23):
I just don't want to put that energy into my life.
What energy crazy stalker shows, I don't.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Know all right. Well, I will say this article made
me feel like he wasn't lying, just based off of
the things that she said in here. But yeah, you
gotta watch it though, because I feel like the reason
why I feel like he couldn't be lying is because
there's things he told about himself that a person probably
wouldn't want anybody to know. All right, and this story

(21:49):
is near and dear to my heart and to all
you coffee drinkers out there. According to Forbes, the cost
of coffee is set to skyrocket, So get ready to
pay a little bit more.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
For your coffee.

Speaker 4 (21:58):
Hasn't already? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Hasay?

Speaker 3 (22:01):
Cag you notice, and you know that's hard too when
you go to your coffee shop. And because I know,
because I own one, shout out to coffee uplifts people.
But it's hard for people to understand why that's happening.
But they're saying that it's going to be all time
highs over the next crop cycle, and you're going to
pay more than ever for a cappuccino or a latte.
They said, more than it's been in twenty years. So
just get ready for that to happen. Global consumption is

(22:25):
up and uh yeah, so that's what the problems.

Speaker 4 (22:28):
Are like seven eight bucks in the city hurts.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Thank goodness, you make yours at home.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
What's your delongi machine and your coffee uplifts people?

Speaker 2 (22:36):
All right, well that is you're under the radar now.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
You know.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
We got the Way Up mixed at the top of
the hour. Plus, we have an artist who I absolutely love.
He is from Jamaica, Romaine and Virgo the gentle Man.
He has a project that's out right now, but he's
also got a great YouTube series, so make sure you
follow that.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
It's way up way It's like.

Speaker 10 (22:53):
The tout like they angelij like they Angeli jee man.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
She's spilling it all. This is yeaty way off.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
What's up his way up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
I'm Angela Yee And it is a Monday time for
some yeete and the tea is hot. Dan, did you
know that TMZ was doing a documentary.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
About the trailers?

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, well see the trailers.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
It's on to B and it's out right now, The
Downfall of Ditty and on.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
There is Rbury O'Day.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
You know her from Danny Kane and she's always been
really vocal about her issues with puff as she would
call him, and here's what she had to say about
him trying to buy her silence.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
I received the publishing deal.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
I know how much money it was, giving me three
hundred dollars and thirty cents for a full release of
all claims against Didty and many other players.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
I think you would probably be.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
Making moves to keep as many people quiet as possible.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
All right.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
In addition to that, Mark Curry, who was at one
point signed to bad Boy, he wrote a book also
called Dancing with the Devil back in two thousand and
nine about Diddy. Well, he's on the documentary and here's
what he had to say about witnessing some things in
reference to Kim Porter.

Speaker 11 (24:02):
I didn't see him get physical with Kim, but I
know situations where, let's say, if Kim says she fell
on the boat and broke her nose, and I say,
that's not actually what happened. I think her and Puff
went to home together, and then next day, you know,
she had the mandate on, and so you already know
what happened. So she didn't you say she's slipping, she fell. No,

(24:23):
I don't think that, because they was just arguing real
big last night.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Mark Lami Hill is also on here, and he's giving
some type of framework as to what's going on. Why
so many people have difficulty coming out and speaking about
somebody with the power that did he had?

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Because did he knew everybody? Here's what he had to say.

Speaker 12 (24:41):
Diddy is a powerful person. You don't get to be
a billionaire without being powerful and without being connected to
powerful people. Did he knows politicians, entertainers, philanthropists, academics. If
we start unraveling the thread of Diddy's networks, you're going
to find a lot of people, and like Jeffrey Epstein,
some of them might be implicated.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
All right, Well, that full entire documentary is now on
to b if you guys want to check that out.
There's a lot of information, a lot of old footage.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
You know.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
Cassie is also a referenced on there, and of course
Harvey from TMZ is narrating a lot of this.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
That's a lot to unpack here. What do you think
about all this?

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Man? I think that too soon?

Speaker 3 (25:23):
Well, you know what, it's the downfall of Diddy, and
it's definitely a downfall. It's not saying he's guilty of anything,
but he has definitely lost a lot of his luster
right now, and it's something that's going to be really
hard to bounce back from. And I think the catalyst,
like they said, for all of this, was Cassie with
that lawsuit that you.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
Know he ended up settling.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
And you know, on Ditty's behalf, he's right now arguing
that some charges in the sexual assault lawsuit should be dismissed.
And that's the lawsuit brought by Joy Dickerson Neil. The
motion was about Friday, April twenty six, and he's claiming
that he cannot be sued for breaking laws that didn't
exist at the time. Said at the time of the
alleged attack on Dickerson Neale in nineteen ninety one, some

(26:03):
statutes that she cites in her suit, including those around
revenge porn and human trafficking, weren't yet on the books,
so he wants it thrown out on that technicality.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
So we'll see what ends up happening.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
And he did also deny the allegations through his spokesperson
as well, saying the story is made up and not
credible and that he never assaulted her and that she
implicates companies that did not exist and it's purely a
money grab and nothing more. And you know, and when
you watch the documentary, they talk about little Rod, the
producer who's also accusing Puff of sexual harassment and drugging
and threatening him and his attorneys. So they talk about

(26:37):
why some things may seem sketchy, you know as well.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
So it does give a full picture.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
All right, well that is your yet and when we
come back, we have ask a yee eight hundred and
two ninety two fifty one fifty.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Any question you have. We're here to help you out.
It's way up with It's relationship for career advice.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Angelo's dropping facts. This is as gee, what's up? Its
way up at Angela yee. I'm Angela ye. And you
know what time it is on Monday, It's time for
asking ye eight hundred and two ninety two fifty one fifty.
Any question you have. I'm here to help you out.
In today's caller wants to remain anonymous. What's up, anonymous caller?
What's your question?

Speaker 13 (27:11):
Okay, So recently my friend had first in the issue
with me about us my girlfriends. So I ended up
finding this girl, so you know, we have been kicking
it with her. So but then I also have sleeping
with his sister behind his back, but he don't know.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Wait wait anit?

Speaker 4 (27:30):
Wait?

Speaker 2 (27:31):
So down, so down?

Speaker 3 (27:31):
So you started kicking it with another girl, yes, but
then you also started kicking it with his sister.

Speaker 13 (27:37):
I do, and I know I feel that. Okay, I
found doubt that my girlfriend has been sleeping with his sister.
And it's just like, how do I say something without
telling on myself?

Speaker 3 (27:49):
So your boyfriend is cool with you having a girlfriend, correct,
but then your girlfriend is sleeping with his sister. So
your girlfriend is cheating on you? Or is she allowed
to do what she wants?

Speaker 13 (27:59):
I mean, no, she We're supposed to be all in
a relationship.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
Okay, so it's the three of you guys, but the
girl is cheating. Now what does she say when your girl?
What does your girlfriend say when you ask her what's up?
When you found out that she was cheating on you?

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Guys?

Speaker 13 (28:12):
I have not a friend?

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Why not?

Speaker 13 (28:16):
Because then I feel like the sister is we've been
doing this, well, so.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
How do you know about it? You know about it
from the sister?

Speaker 14 (28:24):
No?

Speaker 13 (28:24):
I girlfriends soone?

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (28:27):
You know the thing is, once your relationships is open
up like that, it does make it a lot easier
for people to feel like it's okay to step out. Yeah,
so let me ask you this, what are you gonna do?
Are you planning to still stay with this girl? Or
are you'all gonna cut her off?

Speaker 6 (28:41):
Like?

Speaker 2 (28:41):
What's the plan?

Speaker 3 (28:42):
Because I think also you have to know what your
expectation is.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
That is a lot.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
She's sleeping with you, with your boyfriend with his sister.
That's super messy.

Speaker 13 (28:51):
It's very messy. Yeah, I like, so I'm looking her up,
but I'm going to have to tell her by and
then I feel like, Sam, it's going to come out.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
But I just feel like y'all can't continue this, So
you might as well be honest and put everything on
the table. A.

Speaker 13 (29:08):
Well, I'm gonna lay it out to that.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Who should you tell first? The girlfriend or your boyfriend?

Speaker 13 (29:14):
I think probably him, so he'd be aware of what's
going on and not be.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Fine by Right, he's the more important person to you, right, Yeah,
So you and your boyfriend should discuss this and know
what you're gonna do moving forward and know what the
plan is and then let her know.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Look, we got to find a new girlfriend.

Speaker 13 (29:33):
I don't think we need to bring nobody up and
sear life.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Like we tried it. It didn't work.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Yeah, but yeah, you know what you have to do
that she's got to go now it's gonna be a
monogamous relationship.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
You think he'd be cool with that.

Speaker 13 (29:47):
At this point, I think we should go too.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
If that's how you feel in you know what to do.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
You kind of lay down the groundwork for this to
be a bit messy.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
So sometimes it's hard to go back. But you know,
if you don't, I want to.

Speaker 8 (30:00):
Be with him.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
You tried it, you did it and dabbled. It didn't
work out. Absolutely all right, says good luck? Oh sorry,
not says okay, all right.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
Good luck. And that was ask ye eight hundred two fifty.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
Just in case you couldn't get through, you can always
leave a message and we'll answer your question that way
and when we come back. This guy is in a
committed relationship with his wife. Romaine Berger was going to
be joining us.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
It's way up.

Speaker 9 (30:27):
You want to know my name?

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Way up with Angela y Turn me on. What's up?

Speaker 3 (30:33):
It's way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee. And
Romain Virgo is here in the flesh. Yes, First of all,
I've been watching your vlog, so hopefully this is all
I'm gonna make it onto the blog.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
Oh no, right, I want to make it onto one
of the blogs.

Speaker 4 (30:47):
Yeah, of course.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
And the new project came out of a couple of
months ago. The Gentleman and people listen to your music
and it is definitely like this song.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
I could play this at my wedding or you know.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
It's nice because now we get to see for the
past couple of years what life is really like, you know,
for you at home.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Do you feel like people.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
Having that access to you also helped you be able
to open up even more in your music.

Speaker 7 (31:11):
Yeah, so, you know, because you can't be anything outside
of real.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
Even start enough the album with the song like been
there Before and you talk about how the darkest part
of the night is just before daylight, and so you know,
people may not know what life was like before for you,
even when you were first trying to make it.

Speaker 7 (31:29):
Yeah, because I mean a lot of you probably doesn't
remember Romin and Virgo entering a competition, winning a million,
get a young teenager and then that's it. But there's
so much more to my life, you know, And on
that record, I was trying to go deep. The industry
sometimes allows us to feel like we have to show
this side of us that we have to be so,
especially as men, make a feel like you have to

(31:52):
be tougher. You can't talk about the story because they're
going to say yourself and and so over time tapping
to myself and realizing that the more you open up
is the more you're helping somebody out there too.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Right now we're talking to VP Records artists Romaine Virgo.
He has the gentleman out right now. He's also on tour.
What was life like before that? Before people think, oh,
he won this competition and got this money, and he's
been on ever since.

Speaker 7 (32:15):
I was poor and I didn't know that. I was
like grow poor. I didn't know it was like four
of us sleeping in one bed. And you'll get to
realize that growing up was rough in a because that
struct that a family is struct at a community. You
know the people around who you used to just make
the more sort of little No matter what you have,

(32:36):
he does live and does laugh and love just to
see him and doing it. The little that you have
no distract you or make you feel like, hey, I
am not worth it.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Romaine Virgo is here.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
His album The Gentleman is out right now, and when
we come back, we'll be talking about fatherhood. You know,
he does have twin girls and he has a YouTube
channel where you get to see his whole family.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
It's beautiful.

Speaker 3 (32:59):
But we'll discuss what in his background has grooms going
to be the man who he is today. It's way
up more with Romaine Virgo when we come back. What's
up his way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee
and right now we are talking to VP Records artists
Romaine Virgo. He's from Jamaica and even though he's only
thirty four years old, he's been doing this music for
almost two decades. You know, I think that in the

(33:21):
society where it's been really popularized to be a womanizer,
and you have been the opposite of that.

Speaker 7 (33:29):
I grew up in a family where the father figured
that I would want to be our own wasn't there,
and so my goal was always to be you know what,
I'm trying to be known. I'm not talking as if
I'm perfect or I'm doing it, you know what. It's
You've always been a goal to you know, be this
kind of man. I never ever want my kids to

(33:51):
be growing up, you know, not being our own both
mother and father. I just always wanted to create that
that's peace for them to feel see if they can
and share anything that they're going through in life. And
you know, so I'm just I always see myself in
that light and I try my best. You know, I
grew up knowing a stepfather who was like such a

(34:12):
real man, God bless you. So they passed away last June. Okay, yeah,
so that was a sad time for us. But he
was one that I look at and say, hey, I
want to be like this man.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
Right now, we're talking to BP Records artist Romaine Bergo.
He has the gentleman out right now. He's also on tour.
Where was your biological valor?

Speaker 7 (34:34):
He's he's alive, you know, and I know him. We
talk a lot too nowadays, But like I don't make
the past determine how I even treat my father.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
Did you ever have a because sometimes people don't even
have that conversation like you know you was.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
We have it every time every time we talk, like
he would there.

Speaker 7 (34:55):
I don't know what to call itge if it's feeling
a bit guilty of him just just wanting me to
understand why things didn't work the way it And I'm
like every time, I'm like, you know, I do understand.

Speaker 6 (35:07):
Know.

Speaker 7 (35:07):
We have to just get past that because we can't
be dwelling on something that we can't change anymore.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
You're like, look it worked out, I'm successful, I'm happy,
I'm the man that I want to be.

Speaker 14 (35:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
So it's always as people just don't know better when
they're in the midst of a situation, you know, and
like you said, you can't go back and change things.
But we have to understand our parents are like human
beings also with a lot of flaws.

Speaker 7 (35:31):
Exactly, and we don't know the things that our parents
parents went true why our parents, you know, maybe end
up in the situation that they were, you know, And
that is all I look at it like, I'm not
the want to just jump and say, you know, I
didn't grow up around my father, so I'm not gonna
deal with him. I try to understand where everything is
kind of coming from. So with my generation, I want

(35:54):
to stop.

Speaker 3 (35:55):
That right Well, rom vergo, thank you so much. A
gentleman is out right now. Always appreciate you honestly, and
if you have a chance to catch him live, make
sure you go and see. You definitely are gonna love
it and never be disappointed. And I always appreciate you
