from The Morning Hustle Podcast · host Urban One Podcast Network
On today's Morning Hustle Podcast, co-hosts Lore’l, Kyle, and Alton dig into three stories shaking social media and sports spotlight. First, Rick Ross and Benzino escalated their longstanding beef with 50 Cent, crossing a major line by involving his young son, Sire, in their mockery. Ross sarcastically offered to “buy him a puppy” to help with future trauma, while Benzino reignited old wounds by challenging 50 to boxing and criticizing his ex—drawing social condemnation for how deep hip-hop drama has sunk. Next, Brittney Griner revealed she prefers to be called “Pops” by her son, a touching reflection on parenting and identity shared during a heartfelt interview with Cam Newton on the Funky Friday podcast—embracing a modern twist on motherhood and strength. Finally, actor Cortez Smith from The Chi is featured in a Fireside Chat where he discusses his character “Nuck,” the emotional toll of portraying trauma, managing mental health, and advocating for Black men’s wellness—bringing both vulnerability and redemption into our entertainment lens.
