The Rickey Smiley Morning Show delivered an emotional and eventful episode as the team opened the day by sending heartfelt condolences to Lil Jon, who recently confirmed the tragic passing of his 27‑year‑old son, Nathan Smith, known professionally as DJ Young Slade. Authorities recovered Nathan’s body from a Georgia pond after he was reported missing, with police stating that no foul play is suspected. The show also turned its attention to Cardi B, who made headlines for reportedly spending more than $1.2 million to support boyfriend Stefon Diggs at the Super Bowl—covering private suites, premium seating, multiple private jets, and lavish after‑party plans as part of a once‑in‑a‑lifetime celebration.   The crew continued with uplifting entertainment news as Halle Berry officially announced her engagement to longtime partner Van Hunt, ending months of speculation. Berry confirmed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that she “did not say no” and proudly displayed her multi‑karat diamond ring while sharing that the couple simply hasn’t chosen a wedding date yet. The show closed with sharp political conversation after reports that Governor Wes Moore, the nation’s only Black governor, was uninvited from this year’s White House National Governors Association dinner—an unprecedented departure from bipartisan tradition that Moore described as “blatant disrespect” and a painful exclusion.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/rickey-smiley-morning-show See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
