FULL EP | Coco Jones to Sing ‘Lift Every Voice’ at Super Bowl 60; Megan Thee Stallion Wins Defamation Case; Kash Doll Was a No Show at Concert and Tells Why; and MORE

The Morning Hustle kicks off with Lore’l, Kyle Santillian and Alton Walker reacting to the big news that Coco Jones has been tapped to sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” at Super Bowl 60, celebrating how major it is for a young Black R&B star to be part of the pre-game lineup at Levi’s Stadium alongside performers like Charlie Puth and Brandi Carlile. From there, the crew digs into reports that Megan Thee Stallion has won a defamation case against a blogger who spread lies about her in the aftermath of the Tory Lanez shooting, tying it back to Megan’s broader legal fight to push back on online harassment and false narratives that have followed her since the 2020 incident and her 2024 defamation filing. Lore’l breaks down what this means for protecting Black women’s reputations in the digital era while the fellas debate whether big lawsuits are the only way to make people stop playing with celebrities’ names.  Later, the Hustle fam turns their attention to Kash Doll, who came under fire for being a no-show at a recent concert. Using her own explanation from social media and what she’s shared about behind-the-scenes issues, the team talks through what really happens when artists miss gigs—flight drama, family emergencies, janky promoters—and whether fans are too quick to judge before knowing the full story. Between the Lo’Down gossip, jokes, and real talk about contracts, reputation and grace, the episode mixes headline-heavy celebrity news with the kind of everyday perspective that keeps Morning Hustle listeners locked in.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/the-morning-hustle See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
