Janet Jackson's infamous wardrobe malfunction might never be forgotten, but what about her legacy as a trail-blazing feminist? Janet cut a path for female pop performers controlling their own narrative. She was an advocate for women getting what they need in the bedroom before most people even knew the term “sex positive.” And she did it all while the press critiqued her every move, and her body, too. Culture writer Clover Hope joins Brooke and Aricia to set the record straight. Clover shares what it was like to meet Janet at a Manhattan sushi bar, her love for Poetic Justice, and her take on the aftermath of Janet’s Super Bowl halftime show.

Listen Now: The Price of Paradise

Kanye West is making headlines...again. The controversial rapper - who now goes by Ye - allegedly got physical late Tuesday night at the infamous Chateau Marmont in Hollywood. According to police, Ye slugged an unidentified man in the face after he “pushed” and “grabbed” Ye’s wife, Bianca Censori. But a rep for the “Flashing Lights” rapper says it was more than just pushing and grabbing - it was more like full-on physical and sexual assault. This isn’t the first time Ye’s been accused of physical violence, but with those other incidents, he didn’t face any criminal charges. But will he this time?
