The hosts wasted no time diving into the details of their first topic—the celebrated rapper Da Brat, who recently made headlines for her empowering remarks during a TMZ interview at LAX. This Pride Month, Da Brat expressed sympathy for individuals harboring homophobic sentiments, emphasizing the importance of love and acceptance. "Love wins every time," she stated, reinforcing the need for understanding and compassion. Auntie Derek praised her as an "icon" and highlighted the ongoing challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community, sparking a rich conversation on how allies can show their support.
The discussion then transitioned to the contentious split between Jesse Smollett and his fiancé, Jabari Rae. Auntie Derek and Qtypie dissected the imploding relationship and the circumstances surrounding it, with Auntie Derek humorously quipping, “You didn’t want to marry him; you wanted to marry Beyoncé!” This levity lightened the serious drama concerning the high-profile breakup, which continues to captivate public attention.

Listeners were also treated to a segment discussing the tragic news surrounding actor James Handy, who was fatally stabbed by his girlfriend's son and the subsequent revelations about mental health issues. This somber moment led the hosts to reflect on the importance of seeking help and the often unreported struggles individuals face behind closed doors.
Towards the end of the session, they took a lighter path, celebrating Beyoncé and Rihanna's placement on Forbes' list of the richest self-made women, both securing a worth of $1 billion. This triumph was framed as a testament to their impact on the entertainment and fashion industries, with Auntie Derek playfully commenting on Taylor Swift’s position on the list, noting her ability to write hits while joking about the insinuated white privilege she embodies.
Auntie Derek closed the session on a joyful note, reminding listeners to embrace themselves and engage with the lively culture that surrounds them. “We’ll be back on Monday for another live show.
