Lauren came in hot.

Hey, y'. All, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa. And this is the latest with Lauren LaRosa. This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room. Baby. Back on the grinding. Now checking in behind the scenes of the gr. I don't really know. I don't really have much to say. We. We did several interviews today at Breakfast Club. I always shoot the podcast right after we finish the Breakfast Club, so the days be long. But today we had interviews. One in particular that we'll talk about here on the podcast once it airs. It has not aired yet, so don't wanna mention it, but we had one interview in particular today that I don't know, just, like, there are, like, several times probably like a week, to be honest, where I'm like, yo, I can't believe that this is my life, that this is the things that I'm doing that, you know, like, I get to be creative and I get to do things I love to do, but also just, I don't know, like, my job is, like, a passion, like, or my career, because it's not just a job. My career is one of my passions. And that is always a blessing. But some days I'm like, man, this is happening. Like, this is really happening. There's this song called It Keeps Happening to Me. It is by. I'm gonna look it up. My mentor, Ms. Lori Hayes, sent it to me a while back. It's by Kiara Sheard. And that song talks all about just stepping into, like, it's happening. You're in the moment. You're in, like, your answered prayers. You can't run from it. Own it. No imposter syndrome. And today was one of those moments, like, I'm. I. I literally cannot lie to you guys. Today was one of those moments where I'm just like, yo, I am really living my answered prayer. The conversation during the interview was amazing. And just the energy of the person that I got to meet today. But after the interview, just having a regular. I mean, the conversation on. In the interview was regular, too, but after the interview, having a few minutes to, like, really, like, chat it up with this person. And I mean, like, really have a kind, like. Cause there's certain people, I feel like when you meet them, you know, they're just going to, like, pierce. Like, their energy is just. It stops you in your tracks, and it makes you reevaluate. Like, as soon as this person walked in the room, and I want you guys to try and guess who it is. As soon as this person walked in the room, I was like, oh, my God. Like, their energy is unmatched. And it made me wonder, when I walk in a room, like, what energy do people feel for me? Because the way I felt the minute that this person walked in a room and before they even said hello, and I just saw a smile in their. Literally, like, their literal glow. Oh, my God. Like, a lot of times in, you know, work, especially as an adult, I think a lot of things can become thinkless where you're just kind of, like, going through the motions, going through the motions, going through the motions. So I love moments like what I had today and having the conversations that I was able and blessed to have today where I'm like, girl, you not just going through a moment. Like, this is the moment. Live it. Be in it right now. Um, yes, it's kind of. I can't really. I can't tell y' all yet, but you guys will see, and then we'll talk about it here on the podcast. But, man, today was just a really good, blessed reminder of, like, you are living your answered dream, your wildest prayers, wildest dreams, answered prayers, however you want to say it and never take that for granted. So someone today is listening or watching this podcast, and it might be a day. We all have them. Like, we all have them. You might. You know, I don't know what you're going through, but I didn't really have a Behind the scenes of the grind update because I haven't been doing nothing but being at work, and everything has been steady and good and cool, but it came on my heart to just let y' all know what I walked away with, feeling like I've been in such a. Not somber. Because that sounds like, so low and like. No, not somber mood, but a reflective state. I've been in such a reflective state since I left the Breakfast Club today. Like, even driving here to the podcast, I was just thinking, like, man, we only get one shot at this thing called life for real. Like, you only get one shot at this thing called life for real. And if you gonna do something, you might as well do it. Like, And I mean, do it up. Like, do it all the way up and throw in a red lip while you do it and let the people watch as it goes. Up. Literally, like, oh my God. It's. I don't know. I think it's just such a blessing to encounter people who make you stop in your tracks and think about just how God, how good God is. I've traveled a lot of places in my life and oftentimes, like, even when I'm on an airplane, like when we're up in the clouds and I look out the window, I stop and I'm like, man, you can't tell me there's not a guy because I'm looking at all of this, like these things that I just can't fathom or I can't explain how they even work and exist, right. But meeting certain people who make you feel like that, like, yo, God is good. He has to be because there are people on this earth that make you feel him and make you feel the love and the warmth and the completeness that we all know God has instilled in every single one of us. But the realization of it is that I think is life's true. That's like every human being's true fight in life. That is your fight to figure out your purpose, to figure out your alignment and to actually live in it. So meeting people who are living in it daily. Chef's kiss. I can't even like, I can't describe y' all how I'm feeling right now. Like, I could literally go home and just chill out and just reflects in the moment that I experienced today, in the energy and the aura that I experienced today. But we'll talk about it. I promise. We are going to recap that. Y' all know every now and then we recap the Breakfast Club episodes. We will recap that episode, I promise because it is definitely going to go down as one of my favorites. So guess who it is. Tweet me. Aurenlarosa everywhere. L O R E N L O R O S A and I'll let you know if you guys are right once the interview ends.

All right, now let's get on into the latest because there is a lot going down, y'. All. So there is now or was yesterday a video circulating of Jeannie Mai, formerly of the Real. She was also married to rapper Jeezy and had a daughter with him. And they were going through, like, a really huge public divorce. Right? So Jeannie Mai is out and she's on a little datey date. Okay. Out on a date. And guess with who we're talking about. Guess. Guess with who. Jeannie Mai. Out with Anderson Paak. So this video began to circulate everywhere. People trying to figure out because it was, it was, it was a little intimate. Like, the location that they were at, the spot they was at is pretty intimate. They're pretty close. And I mean, they're not like all up on each other, kissy, kissy and all of that. But the way that they're sitting and Anderson Paak's arm is extended and the way they're talking, it is a very intimate sit down. It is definitely not a meeting of two friends. And even if they were going to claim that this was a meeting of two friends, the video would definitely forsake them because it. You can, you can. These are my energy. You could look at that video and tell, no, this giving a little vibey vibe right here or giving us something more than just a friendship. So I've confirmed that they actually are dating. I was told that this is Jeannie Mai's first dating situation that is, I mean, I wouldn't even say a bit serious because I was told that it was new. But this is kind of like the first situation that, like, you know, she's out in public and, you know, the dates are consistent and repetitive since the divorce from Jeezy. Now, as I mentioned, I was told that this is pretty new. So it's not like they're exclusive to each other, you know, and doing all of those things. Yet they're not in a relationship. They're Just friends, but not friends. Like, they're not exclusive to each other. They're not in a relationship. So these are two people that are. They're getting to know each other. They're at that phase where they're getting to know each other. But here's the thing, though, right? Because Anderson Paak was rumored to have been dating Mariah Carey for this last, like, two years. Seeing them step out everywhere, him holding her hand. You know, she had a conversation about Anderson Paak doing Christmas with her and her family, and now we see him out with Jeannie Mai. And I did ask. I'm like, well, what about Mariah Carey? Crickets. No real answer. Now, I don't know if that means. Because, I mean, just in talking about this, I'm like, well, maybe I can reach out to Mariah's team. I've attempted to have conversations with Mariah's team before about other things. Not about dating, but about other stories. So maybe I could reach out to Mariah's team because I want to know. So what we were seeing with Anderson Paak and Mariah Carey, was that officially a relationship or not? Mariah Carey spun it as something casual, but something serious enough where Anderson Pac knew he was special, but he also knew how special it was for him to be doing things. Like I said, Christmas with the queen of Christmas is a big deal. So I don't know if something happened there if, you know, they were never really exclusive. But I will say for Anderson Paak and for Jeannie Mai to be out in public not caring about who shoots video of them, photo of them, anything like that, that's a big. I mean, hello. Put an exclamation point after. But they ain't just friends, though. It's no way that's a big deal. You know what happens when you step out the house when you're either one of them. Anderson Paak know he has been tied to Mariah Carey for this last, like, year or two. Jeannie Mai knows the conversation around her. Currently, it's her trying to heal and move on and, you know, all the things that she's been talking about now that she's out of her marriage with Jeezy and living the single mom life and trying to figure these things out. So you already know what it's given when we catch y' all outside and they pop right outside. So at this point, they're comfortable with each other enough to be mentioned together. Look, where there's smoke, there's fire. That's all I'm going to say. So there will definitely be more in this conversation, in this story. And y' all know we will keep you guys updated as it unfolds. Now, speaking of relationships, Cardi B, Stephon Diggs, still no update there. The latest with Cardi B and Stephon Diggs is that I still have no update there. Not anything direct or sourced, but there are a lot of context clues here, so. More recently, Cardi B did her first night of her Little Miss Drama tour. It kicked off in Palm Springs, California. All reports said that it was a sold out show setup. Production looked great. I think Cardi is definitely, I mean, she's always been one to try and elevate her look, her performances, you know what I mean? Um, but the production and the stage design and, you know, Cardi's costumes, I was watching a video of her and she had like the wind blowing. Speaking of Mariah Carey. She had the wind blowing and all the things. And I'm like, I mean, Cardi B has been a superstar, but looking at her on that stage, I'm like, it is giving superstar. And I'm always proud of Cardi because I think anybody who, you know, was supporting Cardi early days, like, you know, and for most people, early days for Cardi, for them and Cardi B is like love and hip hop. But I mean, like, for those of us who were there when she was like on Instagram, some of us when she was still kind of in the clubs doing bookings and then started putting out, you know, her own music and paying out of her pocket and doing these smaller venues. Like I remember shout out to Patience. Patience is one of my homegirls from Delaware. But I remember Cardi doing all of these smaller shows. Specifically, there was one in New York that she had. Did I want to say it might have been the House of Blues, it was somewhere like that where it was like a small, very intimate venue. But I remember that was the first time that I had ever seen her do Bodak, honestly, ever seen her perform music? For real? For real. But ever seen her do Bodak Yellow Live, and it was a small venue, everything she was doing at that point was like out of her own pocket. She was putting money into everything. So to see her go from that to like this elevated set design and this big fan moment and she's flying across the stage looking like the Beyonce Renaissance tour. I'm like, damn. Like, the level up is crazy. But one thing I didn't see yesterday and it maybe it could be a scheduling conflict. I mean, the super bowl is over it's not like Stephon Diggs has any more games. I didn't see Stephan Diggs at the show at all. First night on this tour, she's been vocal, vocal, vocal in supporting Stephon Diggs giving football wife. I know she's just his girlfriend at this stage, y'. All, all right, Relax. But Cardi was popping out outfits, you know what I'm saying? And talking to the camera sounded like a real football girlfriend. Understanding his workout regimens, his rehabbing of his injury. So we go from that to every time he's scoring touchdown in different games leading up to the Super Bowl. This is what we're getting here. And then super bowl hits, and it is quiet. Let's take a listen. Inspiring message for Stefan before the game, one inspiring message for. She did a little recap of the Super Bowl. It really was just like, kind of like an ad for Airbnb on her Instagram, though, where she posted herself running off the field. And, you know, the Airbnb where she was staying at. We have yet to see her post or talk about anything except for our big Super Bowl. That sealed the deal for me. When I saw that, I'm like, okay, there is again, where there's smoke, there's fire. There's trouble in that paradise right now. And there are a lot of things that people are, you know, rumored and, you know, people being that are being reported as the reason why, because Cardi nor Stephon has come out and said anything, but it's there. If you. If you go looking forward, a lot of things are there. We just haven't heard anything confirmed. And I'll be honest with y'. All. I didn't expect to see Stephon Diggs at the opening night of her tour. I didn't. And the reason why I didn't expect to see him is because of how quiet Cardi has been about the Super Bowl. There's obviously something going on there. Now, Cardi B. Did have her kids there. I know. I saw her, like, fresh off stage with her baby backstage as well. She even so during the show, she dropped some shots at ice. Let's take a look. If ICE come in here, we gonna joke they asses. I got some bear mace in the back. They took my fans, bitch. Let's go. And then I saw some people who were pointing out the fact that when she did one of her famous songs where she mentions Offset's name, she didn't say his name, but it's like, duh. Even if she wasn't with Stephon Diggs, it's like, at this point, she is disattached from offset. Outside of them sharing kids together, why was she inserted? I mean, I think she's like 34, 35 cities on this tour. Maybe we get a little Stephon Diggs support around like, 15. They may be made up by then. I don't know, because I don't know what's happening. They won't say anything. But if we're looking, I'm following the. I'm following the clues, y'. All. I am following the clues. And it's just not looking like right now is anything too good. But also, whatever did go down, that may have changed how they interact with each other and support each other publicly right now in this moment. It's not forever. Envy made a good point. DJ Envy on the Breakfast Club when I was talking about this last, and I was telling him, like, y', all, normally I'm able to kind of get a good sense in just a context conversation from my sources, you know, that are in and around the Cardi b Stephon Diggs camp. That didn't happen this time. And he was like, well, maybe they're trying to figure it out. Maybe they trying to work it out. And look, I'm minding my business when it comes to people figuring out their ish, okay? Because when me and my man be figuring out ours, I want y' all to mind y' all business, too. But it's Valentine's Day weekend, so I am thinking about, what does Valentine's Day weekend look like for them? Will they spend it together? Will that be a thing? Will we see? Because if there is anything wrong, Stephon Diggs, this is the best time. You know, this is the. When you plan break up the makeup, holidays come through. This is where. Look, this is where you pay, like, your way. We need to see the flower deliveries and the car delivery. Like, all the reassurance we need to see it. So we'll see what happens. I'll keep you guys posted. And of course, I'm going to be on. I'm on every source and every angle trying to figure out what their Valentine's Day looks like. But it might be one of them things that we just got to sit back and let watch. We got to sit back and watch. Because Cardi B one thing about her, she's really good at controlling her own narrative. She'll get on Twitter spaces and talk about something before anybody else has a chance to. Or Twitter itself. I honestly expect. Or I expected. But it didn't happen the first Night. I told one of our producers last night before we all went to bed after we had had our producer meeting for the show. I'm like, when we get up in the morning, there's going to be something from Cardi B's tour because it's the first night where she kicks it off. And Cardi is smart. Cardi wants to cause conversation outside of the arena. Cardi's smart. We're going to. Something is going to cause conversation. I thought that she was going to potentially mention something about the breakup rumors or something like that before going into a song, but it was a political statement, and I ain't mad at it. I also saw that, you know, she had did the moment where she does, because she did the ice moment and then went into I like it. I like it like that. And then she did this, like, flag presentation of all these various flags before she did bodega baddie, which a lot of people appreciated her doing bodega baddie on the SNL stage just because of the political statement that it made, especially during this time where people are talking about ICE and immigration and, you know, just all of the things that people are facing right now. But with all these things going on in the world, Cardi does have personal things happening, and I think she's going to show that on the stage. And we'll be tuned in, Cardi. I think that's the best place to do it, baby. Sell them tickets out. Sell them tickets out. Girl, we ain't mad at you. I know I'm not. I'm tuned in. I'm locked in. Now this has been another episode of the Latest with Lauren the Rosa. I'm your host, Lauren Therosa. And at the end of the day, you guys could be anywhere with anybody, but you choose to be right here with me. And I truly appreciate you guys for that. My low riders, I will catch you in my next episode. This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human.
