Ed Lover kicks things off questioning the media frenzy surrounding Max B, calling out how gangster stories are often glamorized while the real harm — and real victims — get glossed over. From crime culture and power to why certain communities wear criminality like a badge of honor, the conversation gets honest fast.

Things heat up as Ed doesn’t hold back on his deep disappointment in Nicki Minaj, questioning her recent moves, motives, and whether branding has completely overshadowed artistry in today’s music industry. From “branding culture” gone wild to artists losing the plot, Ed and Mrs. Fruit debate what it really means to be an artist versus a brand.

The crew also dives into AI fatigue, podcast culture, oversaturation vs. underpreparedness, and whether nostalgia is propping up hip-hop and R&B right now. Along the way, Ed pays respect to real podcast pioneers and experts who set the standard.

Unfiltered, funny, thought-provoking — and classic C’Mon Son! energy.

Ed Lover and Mrs. Fruit are BACK and coming in HOT! 🚨

From the NFL to Washington D.C. to the wild world of rap beefs, nothing is off limits this week.

First up: Shedeur Sanders is running his mouth before he’s even earned his stripes—does he really deserve a shot at starting QB?

Then, Ed and Fruit break down America’s latest government shutdown disaster and call out BOTH sides of the aisle for failing the people.

Social media, propaganda, immigrant hypocrisy, and fear tactics—Ed says America is looking downright STUPID on the world stage. 💯

But it doesn’t stop there.

The crew dives into the explosive Cardi B vs. Nicki Minaj beef, questioning why an icon like Nicki is acting childish and taking things way too far.

Rap beef is part of the culture—but dragging family and kids? That’s crossing the line.

Ed and Fruit remind us how legends like Beyoncé and Jay-Z handle things with class.

PLUS—updates on Diddy’s case, iconic hip-hop hairstyles through the years (Salt-N-Pepa, Kid ’n Play, Big Daddy Kane, and more), and Ed’s unfiltered take on why America better wake up before it’s too late. 🔥
