Doe Boy pulled up to It’s Up There Podcast for one of his most honest convos yet. He breaks down why Apple picked him over Taylor Swift, how Future signed him Meeting southside off a graphic, and why the NFL used the draft to humble Deion Sanders by snubbing Shedeur Sanders. Loon presses him on Cleveland’s hate, Kevin Gates’ wild moment with LeBron Jame's wife, and where Bow Wow, MGK, and Kid Cudi stand on the real Mount Rushmore of the city.

Big Loon kicks off the pod with a heartfelt thank you to his supporters (0:00) before sharing why he’s still too close to his own trauma to tell his full story (2:15). He then reflects on being misunderstood, embracing the “life of kings” mindset, and how fame makes it hard to trust anyone (4:40). After previewing a new feature on Patreon and plans for a street‑style book club (9:00), Loon gives a salute to David Shands & the builder class at Social Proof (13:40). Then the real heat starts: Shannon Sharpe’s $10 M hush offer gets rejected (17:05), and Loon goes in on Tony Buzbee’s shady lawsuit history (19:00). He breaks down why Sharpe’s rushed video response might’ve nuked his NDA (24:10) and warns that Sharpe’s “playboy” image could boomerang into public persecution (31:30). Next, Kevin Gates gets called out for the $25 K courtside “crash‑out” aimed at LeBron’s wife (35:45), and Loon explains the unwritten rule about clout‑chasing through family. Tyrese’s court battle leads to a deeper convo about how the system milks men through child support (39:55), and Loon closes with a reminder: credibility is currency—perspective is product (42:25). 00:00 Intro & Thank Y’all 02:15 Too Close to My Trauma 04:40 “Life of Kings” Mindset & Fame 09:00 New Patreon Feature + Book Club 13:40 Salute: David Shands & Social Proof 17:05 Shannon Sharpe’s $10M Hush Rejected 19:00 Tony Buzbee’s Lawsuit History 24:10 NDA Nuke?

In this episode of It’s Up There Podcast, Loon sits down with Rory for a no-filter conversation that goes beyond podcast beef and dives into the truth behind the podcast industry, the cost of vulnerability, and why so many platforms are pushing entertainment over authenticity. Rory opens up about what really happened behind the scenes with Joe Budden, why he regrets even telling the truth publicly, and how lies often travel further than honesty in this new age of content. Loon presses him on his role in the business of podcasting, helping creators get deals, and why he rarely speaks up for himself—even when the smut gets thrown on his name. The conversation moves into deep waters: Is Joe Rogan still worth $300 million at Spotify, or is the podcast bubble about to burst? Why Rory stopped reading comments and how chasing fire emojis can kill your creativity How real podcasting has been hijacked by reaction culture and viral lies Why truth, trauma, and trust are the most dangerous parts of building a platform Loon and Rory also discuss Rumble vs. Twitch, the streaming war for creators like Kai Cenat, and why so many personalities online are just performing pain for profit. They also go deep on Andrew Tate, manipulation in media, and how people are using therapy buzzwords as branding tools instead of healing. If you’ve ever felt conflicted about building in public, protecting your peace, or calling out false narratives without feeding the clout machine—this episode is a blueprint. 🎯 Come for the talk about Spotify, Rogan, and Rory’s journey—stay for the game Loon drops on how to survive the noise without selling your soul. 🟡 Subscribe to the channel 🟣 Join the Patreon for uncut episodes: https://patreon.com/ItsUpTherePodcast 🟠 Tap into the Discord: https://discord.gg/3AwsHfDcJB 🔵 Follow on Instagram & TikTok @ItsUpTherePodcast 🔴 Full podcast playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnwwxLxHiDWYLCXvb81w69QAfr6cc1Y3N #ItsUpTherePodcast #Rory #JoeBudden #PodcastBeef #SpotifyPodcasts #Charlamagne #AndrewTate #KaiCenat #Loon #BlackEffect #HipHopPodcasts #RealConvos #ContentCreators Rory: Joe Budden Snake Moves, Vlad Can’t Be Trusted, Kai Cenat Pressured, Rory Regrets Exposing Joe Budden | Says Vlad Profits Off Black Trauma, Joe Rogan Untouchable, Twitch Owns Kai Cenat Rory Breaks Silence on Joe Budden Fallout + Says Industry Rewards Liars + Talks Vlad, Rogan, Kai Cenat, More Rory Regrets Exposing Joe Budden | Vlad TV Called Out, Joe Rogan’s Power, Twitch Owns Kai Cenat Rory Regrets Exposing Joe Budden | Says Vlad Profits Off Black Trauma, Joe Rogan Untouchable, Twitch Owns Kai Cenat 00:00 - Rory on Spotify’s Podcast Strategy & Why They Carve Out Joe Rogan 10:42 - Rory Says Liars Are Better Entertainers: “Truth Don’t Matter” 18:31 - Loon Breaks Down His Trust Issues Post Street-to-Podcast Transition 24:50 - Podcast Fans Acting Like They Know You: The Burden of Vulnerability 35:29 - Rory on Joe Budden: “I Thought I Was in Control.

This Is Why Joe Budden Almost Fired Melissa Ford After That Drake Line This episode, Loon delivers a piercing breakdown of one of the most hypocritical moves in podcasting history. When Drake shouted out Melissa Ford on "Give Me a Hug" — while taking a jab at Joe Budden — the Joe Budden Podcast team secretly bought the domain on Drake’s merch and rerouted it to Joe's Patreon. Not Melissa’s. Not a collab. Straight exploitation. In this episode of It’s Up There Podcast, Loon breaks down one of the wildest betrayals in podcast history — and it’s got Joe Budden written all over it. When Drake dropped "Give Me a Hug" and gave Melissa Ford a shoutout while simultaneously throwing shade at Joe, fans expected Mel to shine off the moment. But what happened instead? Joe Budden’s team snatched the domain name tied to Drake’s merch drop and rerouted it to his Patreon, cutting Mel out entirely. Loon pulls the mask off the manipulation and asks the hard questions: 🧠 Why would a self-proclaimed creator advocate hijack a moment meant for his co-host? 💼 Is this business innovation or just ego-driven overreach? 🏛️ How does this mirror the corporate behavior Joe Budden used to protest at Complex & Spotify? 🧩 Why do Black women keep getting shut out of platforms they help build? This episode dives deeper than gossip — it’s a cultural x-ray of gatekeeping, branding betrayal, and hypocrisy in the new media landscape. 🔍 SEO-Friendly Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro: Why It’s Up There Podcast Is Leading the Culture 01:45 – What Every Creator Needs to Hear Right Now 03:22 – LaRussell’s Shift on Labels & Creator Control 06:01 – The Rise of Joe Budden: From Rapper to Podcaster 09:50 – Drake Mentions Melissa Ford on “Give Me a Hug” 13:30 – Joe Budden Team Grabs the Viral URL Behind Her Back 17:40 – Why This Was Exploitation, Not a Strategic Collab 20:10 – Legal Grey Areas: Could This Lead to a Lawsuit? 24:30 – The Ironic Fall: Joe Becomes the System He Fought 28:45 – PR Spin & Joe’s Internal Pushback 32:12 – Melissa Ford’s Role: Strategy or Stand? 36:10 – How the Creator vs Culture Debate Is Changing 38:55 – Bonus: Brick Baby vs Loose Cannon Situation 42:25 – No Jumper’s Gang War Allegory & Street Exploitation 47:50 – Adam22’s Role & Why He Didn’t Intervene 53:00 – Final Word: What Accountability in New Media Really Looks Like 55:42 – Closing Remarks: Don’t Just Build For You.

Young Thug On The Heels Of New Album " Uy Scuti" And we have an powerful and revealing episode of *It’s Up There Podcast*, Loon sits down with Juror 56 — the lead juror from the Young Thug YSL RICO trial — for a rare and uncensored conversation. This isn't just commentary. This is the man who ran the jury room, speaking publicly for the first time about how dangerously close the trial came to putting Young Thug behind bars for life. Juror 56 recounts the intense emotional pressure inside the courtroom and explains how jurors clashed behind closed doors — particularly over the use of rap lyrics as evidence. According to him, the jury was just three votes away from a life sentence, and it was his leadership that prevented a conviction based on music and speculation. He reveals what it was like being shuttled into court under security lockdown, the political power plays happening between DA Love and defense attorney Brian Steele, and why he believes the State mishandled the case from day one. He also dives into how the court's decision to allow Young Thug’s lyrics into evidence nearly changed the outcome — and exposes how media narratives and courtroom theatrics almost overshadowed the facts. He opens up about the juror selection process, the internal conflicts between jurors, and the real reason the jury almost split down the middle. This episode is raw, intelligent, and culturally important. It's not just about Young Thug — it's about how close the system came to making him an example, and what it took to stop that from happening.
