Caught Coldplay, Goop On Gwen & A Hip Hop Hero

Listen Later

55 minutes

This episode explores the idea of “gross oversight” and asks whether the Coldplay Caught On Cam story that won’t die is really about owning our actions—even when we’re caught.

Hip-hop legend Pretty Ken (Ken Stokes)—known for working with artists

like Outkast, Jeezy, T.I., and CeeLo—joins host Kara Kurcz and co-hosts Jennie Lasater and Molly Brandenberger to break down the

viral Coldplay kiss-cam and Gwyneth Paltrow’s PR pivot.

Fun Fact: Jennie and Ken are longtime friends. As a former Billboard-charting artist, Jennie first worked with Ken when she sang the hook on Jeezy’s "Rainy Days."

Just days before a tell-all book about her dropped, Gwyneth appeared as a spokesperson for Astronomer, sliding into the viral buzz with a message

to “get back to business.”

Pretty Ken’s take: “If she were my client? I’d have told her to do exactly that.”

Ken brings behind-the-scenes industry insight as he and Kara unpack whether Gwyneth’s move was a clever deflection, accidental brilliance, or just part of life in the spotlight.

Plus, Ken shares wild backstage stories from his time on the road with hip-hop’s biggest names.
