This week, we're diving deep into the star-studded Essence Fest gossip - who got invited, who didn’t, and why Gary missed out. We chat about beach vacations turned poolside hangouts due to shark fears, Mel B’s husband and his 'feminine energy,' and Eva Pigford’s rekindled romance with her ex. Get the inside scoop on Diddy's courtroom drama, shocking TMZ-worthy revelations about Cassie, and Lauryn Hill's super-late festival performance. Plus, hilarious discussions about cowboy fashion, shopping habits, and a near-miss car stunt at a Beyoncé concert. Join us for all the laughs, gasps, and tea-spilling moments you can handle.
