  • Episode 72: Lil Nas X Are You Ok?

    In this episode Pierre and Sesali kick things off talking about the rap girl collaborations missing from this week's big R&B drops, Flo Milli's new single "Perfect Person", and the return of Doja Cat with her single "Jealous Type." Then they get serious with a conversation delving into Lil Nas X's recent hospitalization and arrest. Did the music industry and homophobia impact his mental health?


    For Ass Last, available exclusively on Patreon, they are sipping some tea about Glorilla's alleged new man and her fallout with Megan Thee Stallion. Is Meg the problem?
