Full Show | Georgia Parent Sentenced for Child’s Mass Shooting; Gladys Knight’s Son Does Not Want Her Touring; Rap Icon Too Short Joins RSMS Crew; Obama Releases His Summer Playlist; and More

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show tackled some of the biggest stories making headlines, from a landmark Georgia court case to major music news. The crew discussed the sentencing of Georgia father Colin Gray, who received 15 years in prison after being convicted for providing the firearm used by his son in the 2024 Apalachee High School mass shooting, a case that legal experts say could further shape how parents are held accountable when children gain access to deadly weapons. The show also examined concerns surrounding music legend Gladys Knight after her son publicly said he does not want her touring anymore, citing worries about her health and well-being, while Knight has previously maintained that she is healthy and happy and looks forward to continuing to perform.   On the entertainment side, rap icon Too Short joined the RSMS crew to talk about his new album Sir Too $hort Vol. 2: Drink & Smoke, produced entirely by longtime collaborator Lil Jon and released as he celebrates more than four decades in hip-hop. He reflected on longevity, working with legends, and why age should never limit creativity in rap. The crew also highlighted former President Barack Obama’s newly released 2026 summer playlist, which features an eclectic mix of artists including Drake, Doechii, SZA, Vince Staples, A Tribe Called Quest, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Marvin Gaye. Other hot topics included Jamie Foxx reportedly preparing to welcome another child, debate surrounding homelessness after comments made by Slim Thug, and celebrity relationship updates involving Papoose and Claressa Shields.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/rickey-smiley-morning-show See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
