Full Show | Keefe D Found Guilty in Tupac Murder Trial; GMA Host Michael Strahan Welcomes New Child; Jermaine Dupri Drops Lawsuit with Sony Records; Lionel Richie Rushed to the Hospital; and More

Thirty years after one of hip-hop’s biggest mysteries began, the story may finally be getting its closing chapter. The Rickey Smiley Morning Show covered the conviction of Duane “Keefe D” Davis in the murder of Tupac Shakur, making him the first person convicted in connection with the rapper’s 1996 killing. Prosecutors argued that Davis orchestrated the retaliatory attack, even though he was not accused of pulling the trigger himself, and he now faces a potential life sentence. Gary had the tea and reacted to reports that Michael Strahan quietly welcomed a baby girl with longtime partner Kayla Quick, expanding his blended family to five children. Elsewhere, Jermaine Dupri dropped his lawsuit against Sony Music after both sides reportedly resolved a royalty dispute involving So So Def artists including Xscape, Da Brat, Kris Kross, and Jagged Edge, ending a legal battle that had initially sought millions in unpaid royalties.   The show also sent prayers to music legend Lionel Richie, who was reportedly hospitalized in St. Louis after a concert appearance. Sources indicated doctors were evaluating him for possible dehydration after fans noticed he appeared fatigued toward the end of the performance, though reports said he was stable and recovering. Beyond the headlines, the crew sparked lively conversation about online catfishing after stories surfaced about fraudsters posing as professional athletes and medical students to scam victims out of money. The discussion hit close to home as Rickey Smiley shared experiences involving fake social media accounts impersonating him and targeting fans. From long-awaited justice in the Tupac case to celebrity baby news, industry business moves, and cautionary tales about online deception, the show delivered a mix of entertainment, culture, and conversation that kept listeners talking.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/rickey-smiley-morning-show See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
