In this lively and chaotic full episode, The Morning Hustle crew — Lore’l, Kyle Santillian, and Alton Walker — dive into a mix of celebrity drama, social debates, and straight‑up hilarious listener calls that keep the energy high from start to finish.

Lore’l kicks off the Lo’Down with one of the most surprising stories of the week: Nicki Minaj doubling down on her public support for Donald Trump. After appearing at Trump's “Account Summit,” Nicki declared herself his “number one fan” and even flashed one of Trump’s coveted gold cards — stirring backlash and confusion across social media. The team doesn’t hold back their reactions, calling the situation “disgusting” and questioning Nicki’s political stance as they unpack the messy optics behind the moment.

Next, the crew breaks down the tensions between Finesse2Tymes and Moneybagg Yo, after Finesse2Tymes was arrested in Dallas on drug possession charges and quickly suggested that Moneybagg Yo may have tipped off police. Lore’l warns that playing with substances like Adderall isn’t a joke, and the team wonders whether Finesse’s accusations are legitimate or simply a heated reaction to a bad situation. Either way, this rap‑world rift continues to grow.

And while rumors are swirling everywhere, Serena Williams sparks speculation after dodging a direct question about returning to tennis. Though she insists she’s “just having fun,” Serena also quietly re-entered the official drug-testing pool — a move that only active or potentially returning athletes make. Combined with whispers of a possible doubles reunion with Venus, the Hustle crew agrees: the door to her comeback might not be completely closed.

Beyond the Lo’Down, the episode includes Kyle’s inspirational message of the day, a heated and hilarious conversation about the “steps people take when preparing for a breakup,” wild listener stories, news updates on nationwide protests and TikTok, plus an unforgettable round of the $1,000 Cash Grab that left the team in stitches.

This episode of The Morning Hustle kicks off with energy, emotions, and a whole lot of celebrity chaos — all the ingredients for a can’t‑miss show.

Lore’l dives into the Lo’Down starting with Coco Gauff, who let her frustration show after being eliminated from the Australian Open. Cameras caught Coco smashing her racket off‑court as she admitted she needed to release steam privately so she wouldn’t “snap” at her team — a rare moment of vulnerability from the 21‑year‑old star. The crew defended her, noting athletes often get judged unfairly for the same behavior routinely excused in others.

The heat continues with J. Cole, who just dropped his “Bronx Zoo Freestyle” on DJ Clue’s upcoming Birthday Blizzard mixtape and finally addressed the Drake‑related apology fans have been debating. Cole owned up to backing out of the tension he helped spark — though Lore’l and Kyle weren’t letting him off easy, pointing out you can’t call something a “mistake” in rap beef when it affects your friends and the culture.

And then things take a serious turn as Ray J alarms fans during a recent livestream where he claimed his heart is functioning at only 25% and that years of extreme drinking and drug use have caught up to him. He described blackening tissue around his heart and admitted doctors warned him he’s on limited time. The team stressed how dangerous hidden health issues can be — especially when masked by outward appearances.

In the Lo’Down, Regina King becomes the emotional center of the show as she opens up about the loss of her son, Ian, and the surprising, deeply supportive friendship he shared with Sasha and Malia Obama. Lore’l highlights Regina’s strength, her efforts to keep Ian’s memory alive—including a wine line dedicated to him—and the love the community continues to send her way.

The hosts then shift to the music world, where Kanye West is back in the headlines, this time after taking out a full‑page apology ad in the Wall Street Journal. He addresses the harm he’s caused, speaks directly to the Jewish and Black communities, and blames some of his past behavior on long-term effects from his car accident. Lore’l and Kyle unpack Yeezy’s history of public missteps, his bipolar explanation, and even how his daughter North is handling public scrutiny as she experiments with releasing her own music.

Things get messy—and potentially dangerous—as DJ Akademiks and Lil Baby find themselves in an escalating feud. Akademiks claims Lil Baby’s camp paid him $30,000 to stay quiet about an upcoming album, only to turn around and allegedly press him physically. The situation gets even wilder when streamer Adin Ross claims Lil Baby is willing to fight Akademiks in a boxing match. Lore’l calls cap, but admits she’d absolutely watch the fight if it ever happens.

This episode of The Morning Hustle Podcast with Lore’l, Kyle Santillian, and Alton Walker kicks off with high energy and a packed rundown of entertainment, drama, and inspiring moments from across the culture.

In the Lo’Down, Lore’l starts with an update on Ray J, who recently revealed on social media that he was hospitalized with his heart functioning at only 25 percent. Now out of the hospital, Ray J credits prayer, family support, and a new commitment to sobriety for helping him turn things around. Lore’l and Alton discuss whether this could truly be the start of a more stable, drama‑free chapter for him.

Next up, it’s nothing but celebration as Rihanna congratulates A$AP Rocky, whose new album just debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200—his first chart‑topper since 2015. The team highlights how Rocky is having a major moment both personally and professionally, with Rihanna cheering him on publicly and fans embracing his return to music.

Things get heavier as Lore’l covers the shocking viral video of comedian Corey Holcomb punching fellow comedian Christina Payne in the face. With Alton personally knowing Christina, the hosts break down Corey’s attempt to justify the incident, the lack of reason behind the attack, and why the comedy community has been slow to speak out. The team makes it clear: no matter the argument, hitting a woman is unacceptable.

Outside the Lo’Down, the episode also dives into:

• A Help A Hustler segment about actor Djimon Hounsou’s messy breakup and house dispute.

• A lively Cash Grab game where a listener wins $1,000.

• Sports updates, including Stefan Diggs’ emotional reaction to heading to the Super Bowl.

• A powerful and emotional edition of News You Can Use covering the fatal shooting of Alex Priddy by ICE agents in Minnesota.

• Motivation, jokes, and classic Morning Hustle chaos throughout.

The Morning Hustle kicks off with an attention‑grabbing Lo’Down as Lore’l breaks down shocking claims from Claudia Jordan and Shanna Moakler, who both recalled disturbing encounters with actor Steven Seagal — including stories of him pressuring young women into massages and even convincing an 18‑year‑old to remove her top under the guise of “acupuncture” during what should’ve been an audition. From there, Lore’l shifts to music headlines, revealing that Drake has refiled his previously dismissed lawsuit against Universal Music Group. Despite a judge already rejecting the case, Drake is still attempting to hold the label accountable over claims involving Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” and the cast can’t believe he refuses to drop it.

Later in the episode, the Hustle crew welcomes Freddie Gibbs, along with director Ryan Prows and actor RJ Cyler, to talk about their new film Night Patrol (referenced in the transcript as Night Shift and Night Patrol interchangeably). Gibbs opens up about stepping deeper into acting, how he was approached for the role, and how the team tailored the character specifically with him in mind. The conversation flows with humor, real creative insight, and behind‑the‑scenes stories, giving listeners a first look at one of Gibbs’ biggest acting moments yet.

The Morning Hustle crew kicks off today’s episode with high energy, travel stories, and plenty of laughs—but the Lo’Down brings the real heat. Lore’l breaks down A$AP Rocky’s heartfelt decision to give back by paying the rent for every tenant in his grandmother’s Harlem apartment building, a move he describes as wanting to help without being flashy. His generosity becomes even more of a talking point as the team digs into his new album, “Don’t Be Dumb,” and his ongoing tension with Drake, fueled partly by loyalty to Rihanna.

Next, things get lively as the team reacts to Jeanie Buss’ surprising feelings about LeBron James, discussing long‑circulating rumors that the Lakers considered moving him—possibly to the Clippers—due to team dynamics, big salaries, and even concerns about how much gratitude he showed. The conversation turns into a mix of basketball talk and jokes about whether the Lakers even need LeBron now that younger stars like Luka are changing the league's energy.

Finally, Lore’l brings a jaw‑dropper: Michelle Obama says she would actively work against Barack running for president again if a third term were ever permitted. While she avoids discussing certain topics on the podcast she appeared on, she’s firm about the emotional toll the presidency took on their family and her belief that the country needs new leadership. The discussion spirals into the Hustle crew’s reactions—everything from “we need her!” to “we get it, sis!”

Between the laughter, personal stories, and heated reactions, this episode blends celebrity insight, cultural commentary, and the signature comedic chaos that listeners love from The Morning Hustle.

On today’s episode of The Morning Hustle with Lore’l, Kyle Santillian, and Alton Walker, the team kicks things off with an inspiring reminder not to let life’s frustrations knock you off your path. From there, they dive straight into a packed show full of entertainment news, wild listener calls, hip-hop debates, and HBCU updates.

In the Lo’Down, Ruby Rose steps forward with new claims about Nicki Minaj’s behavior on tour—saying Nicki allegedly fired someone after every show, including security she felt didn’t lift her offstage “seamlessly.” The hustle crew reacts to the comment and how it fits into the ongoing chatter about Nicki’s personality behind the scenes.

T.I. also makes headlines after debuting a fresh haircut and teasing his Kill the King album rollout. Alton and Kyle show love to Tip while joking about the mysterious “bald spot” that social media swore they spotted in the clip.

And Fat Joe stirs the pot by calling out J. Cole, criticizing him for backing away from the Kendrick beef. That comment sparks a passionate debate among the Hustle team, who break down why Cole bowed out, what fans misunderstood, and why the history between Cole and Kendrick matters more than the drama.
