xoMAN Podcast

Roscoe Dash was once everywhere—radio hits, viral hooks, and club anthems. But what happens after the fame fades?

On this episode of xoMAN, Roscoe Dash opens up to Kiara "Kiki Said So" Walker about the personal journey that followed his meteoric rise in music. From navigating fatherhood, ego death, and bad relationships to literally landing in jail during one of his lowest points, Roscoe shares how spirituality, perspective, and hard lessons helped him rebuild his life—and purpose.

They explore what it means to redefine manhood, the difference between faith and fear, why being "too helpful" cost him his freedom, and how raising daughters is reshaping his approach to love and legacy. This is Roscoe like you've never heard him—transparent, wise, and funny as hell.

• Red Flag/Green Flag dating scenarios & relationship perspectives

• How bad relationships and overextending led him off track—and to jail

• The importance of ego death, spiritual growth & mentorship

• Why fatherhood changed everything (and how his daughters inspire him)

• Lessons on self-worth, emotional intelligence & redefining masculinity

• Stories from high school to the come-up (recording "Turnt Up" at home)

• Facing the pressure of being the provider, and how that can go wrong

• Why he believes "faith and fear can't coexist"

• Unpacking industry expectations vs. living in purpose

What it really means to be free—and how he's raising his kids to feel that way

This week on the xoMAN Podcast, host Kiara "Kiki Said So" Walker sits down with singer, songwriter, husband and father Adrian Marcel, to talk about the personal evolution behind the music. Known for his smooth vocals and Bay Area flavor, Adrian gets candid about love, fatherhood, and the identity shifts that come with both.

He opens up about meeting his wife at a time when she wasn't fully over her ex — and why he took that as a challenge, not a red flag. From losing his record deal to finding clarity in fatherhood and faith, Adrian shares how life checked his ego and made space for the man he's become.

They get into:

• The moment he realized he was performing pain for a check

• Why he kept his relationship private early on

• How becoming a father of four transformed his priorities

• The role faith and therapy played in his healing

• Red flags, emotional accountability, and letting go of control in love

It's emotional, insightful, and full of gems about navigating purpose, partnership, and masculinity as a Black man in the public eye.

"You're a slave to another man's belief if you can't cry."

Actor Skyh Black joins the xoMAN Podcast to explore how Hollywood, masculinity, and his own upbringing shaped — and almost broke — his identity. In this raw and inspiring conversation, he opens up about becoming a professional ballet dancer, navigating fame while staying true to his roots, and unlearning toxic definitions of manhood.

Host Kiara Walker (@kikisaidso) dives deep with Skyh on:

• Being raised by strong Black women and protecting his emotional core

• His early career as a dancer for Beyoncé and how it shaped his discipline

• The cost of code-switching and pressure to be palatable in Hollywood

• His evolving views on love, family, and fatherhood — including a hint at future plans 👀

• Why vulnerability, not bravado, is a man's real strength

This episode is a masterclass in shedding the performance and showing up as your whole self.
