This episode of The Morning Aux is packed with nostalgia and culture as we break down the 25th Anniversary BET Awards—from the chaotic charm of the 106 & Park reunion (was Lil Fizz’s mic even on?) to Jamie Foxx’s gospel moment with Mariah Carey and Kirk Franklin. We get into why Ciara didn’t hit the stage with Bow Wow, Wale’s viral moment with Kai Cenat, and the rising tension between Kendrick Lamar and Druski. As Black Music Month continues, we spotlight George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic for creating a cosmic universe of funk that shaped generations—from Prince to OutKast to Kendrick. Plus, we debate which legend “Gotta Go” between Bow Wow, B2K, Lloyd, and Mario.

We also check in with listeners for our Wednesday Wellness segment and remind everyone to catch the rare Strawberry Moon around 2:40 PM. Then we dive into real talk—like whether a wife is wrong for charging her husband rent in a house her parents paid off, how parenting has softened across generations, and which era really defined Black culture: the '90s, 2000s, or 2010s. We wrap with Kanye West’s new alias “Ye Ye” and the confirmed Power spinoff uniting Tommy and Tariq. Follow, like, and subscribe at TheMorningAux.com — powered by RJV Media Lab.
