FULL EP | Beyoncé Tells Mom to Lay Off of Social Media Bit; Ice Cube Gets Zero Percent Rating with New Movie; Teyana Taylor Going for Emergency Vocal Surgery; and MORE

from The Morning Hustle Podcast · host Urban One Podcast Network

On today’s Rickey Smiley Morning Show, we break down three stories that mix entertainment, emotion, and a healthy dose of humor. First, Teyana Taylor has announced emergency vocal cord surgery to remove a noncancerous growth affecting her voice. Though heartbreaking, she’s pressing pause on her upcoming commitments to prioritize healing, while still moving forward with the release of her short film Escape Room and album on August 22.  Next, Ice Cube’s new War of the Worlds film has become the cinematic scandal of the summer, landing a rare 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics and audiences alike are roasting the screenlife-style movie (set entirely through computer interfaces) as maddeningly bad, yet oddly entertaining. Even 50 Cent couldn’t resist trolling the flop, joking about the impossible feat of achieving a zero-percent consensus.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/the-morning-hustle See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
