The Rickey Smiley Morning Show covered a wide range of headlines, from major music milestones to celebrity legal troubles. The crew celebrated the return of the Soul Train Awards, which are set to make a comeback after a three-year hiatus with a revamped format and a return to Chicago, the birthplace of Soul Train and legacy of Don Cornelius. Meanwhile, Drake continued his chart dominance by becoming the first artist in Spotify history to surpass 140 billion streams, further cementing his place as one of the most-streamed artists ever while expanding his entertainment empire with new live music venues. The show also discussed several headline-making legal stories.
