Giggle Gang!!! I’m back with another dope episode and this time, I brought my fly Naija homeboy, fellow Rattler, and stylist to the stars, Apuje Kalu, along with me for this week’s audible joyride! We recap the amazing and beautiful #KaluInColombia trip…I just LOVE seeing black folks exploring the world!

We then paid our respects to Aretha Franklin, scratched our heads at the VMAs (Madonna in particular), and tried to analyze what Nicki is going through…”Queen”, relax. Oh, and Be Out Day Atlanta was lit!

Apuje shared some of his jewels from the world of styling and lets gives us a peek into the work behind the dopeness that is styling celebrities. All this and more!!!

Listen. Laugh. Share.

#GiggleGang!! Forget all the other shit, Mona Scott Young is on the show this week!!! Yes, Mona. Scott. Young. The juggernaut behind VH1’s smash series, Love and Hip-Hop! Before I get into all of Mona’s business, we get around the water cooler to discuss the greatness that is Serena Williams, Beyonce and Balmain giving back to HBCU’s, the traitor that is Trump, and Stevie J and Faith’s real love and hiphop story.

Then Mona takes us down memory lane by sharing her story of how she got into the entertainment industry, the glory years of Violator and Def Jam records, how she met and started managing Missy Elliott, the creation of Love and HipHop, and her latest venture- the release of her new book, Blurred Lines.

And CiCi’s new track is in my Beats this week. Gotta Level Up!

All this and so much more!
