4/22/25: Dating Younger Men to Avoid Toxic Masculinity; Akon Goes Country; Roc Nation School Scam?

Tracee Ellis Ross hopped onto Michelle Obama’s podcast and they got a little into her personal life, including her revelation that she prefers to date younger men because men her age have beliefs on relationships that amount to toxic masculinity. She says younger men aren’t as stoked in the old toxic ways. Do you agree with her? On the music front, Akon is on the verge of dripping out the start of what will be his entire catalog re-recorded as country music complete with star country collaborations. Is this a good look for Akon, and what can it signify for the perception of black music? Plus, there is some drama brewing with the Jay-Z-backed Roc Nation School of Music, Sports & Entertainment at Long Island University (LIU) Brooklyn, with many people saying they were sold a fake bag of goods when the school promised them a “debt-free education” when in fact they still incurred debt because the school merely offered them a tuition-free education. Many feel swindled. Should the school be held accountability for falsely misleading people into thinking they’d go through school completely debt-free? What are the ramifications of this?

Brown responding on social media to his car being stolen.
