This episode of The Morning Hustle Podcast was a wild mix of grace, growth, and headlines that made everyone stop scrolling. International Afrobeats superstar Tiwa Savage joined Lore’l and Kyle Santillian for a powerful, heartfelt interview about her new R&B-leaning album This One Is Personal. She opened up about childhood rejection for her dark skin, her healing journey through therapy, and why she refuses to be boxed in as “just” an Afrobeats artist. Tiwa got candid about love too — clarifying her viral “second wife” comment as frustration from heartbreak, not a real plan — and reminded fans that vulnerability is a form of strength.
Meanwhile, the Lo’Down segment took a surprising turn when Stephen A. Smith publicly apologized to Rep. Jasmine Crockett after previously criticizing her comments about Donald Trump. The crew applauded his rare moment of accountability and joked that “hell might’ve actually frozen over.” But the mood shifted when Lore’l broke down the shocking NBA gambling scandal that led to the arrests of Chauncey Billups, Terry Rozier, and others — exposing an underground sports-rigging and poker operation allegedly tied to organized crime. The hosts reacted in disbelief, comparing it to a real-life movie and warning that “snitching season” might be starting early.
