Wheezy WTF Host
This is Wheezy WTF from Decisions Decisions, ladies. Let's talk about taking control of our sexual health. That's grown woman energy. You may think HIV affects someone else somewhere else, but the truth is it's impacting our community and some of us are being hit harder than others. Black women make up just 13% of the women in the US yet account for nearly half of new HIV diagnoses amongst women. Taking care of ourselves is community care. Know your options, ask questions and protect your peace and your body. That's using your power. Sponsored by Care for the Culture from Gilead Sciences.

Superhuman Podcast Narrator
Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque, others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.

Lauren LaRosa
Hey, y', all, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa. And this is another episode of the latest Lauren LaRosa. This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room, baby. Oh, my God. Guys, let's check in behind the scenes of the grind. Cannot tell right now. I am fighting for my life to even get through this podcast episode. We had such a great time in Atlanta. Like I. Oh, my God. This was my second year at the Black Effect Podcast Festival. That Charlemagne that throws for Black Effect, the podcast network, which is how you guys are even able to hear me right now and shout out to Dolly Bishop, who's president of the network, who, you know, she is like superwoman of that whole production of the event this past weekend. It went down in Atlanta at Pullman Yards. Man, there were so many people that popped out like little Duvall, Ceelo and K. Michelle sat down with drink champs. So Noriega and Djfn Karisha Young Miami sat down with Crystal Renee Hayslett. Keep his positive sweetie. Also Zatina Papoose and Clarissa came. Clarissa wasn't even like a part of the live podcast, but she did end up on stage because Envy and Charlemagne brought out like just some of the celebrities who were there. So Lil Duvall performed cuz he recently celebrated the fact that Living my Best Life went platinum. His song I'm Living My Best Life, and I thought that that was dope. But to see the crowd react to him in real time. I've never been to any of his comedy shows or like, you know, I know he does little Du Day in person. I've only seen things online, right? Oh, my God. People went crazy when he came out. The people. I thought it was just my mom that loved little Duvall down, but the people love him down. But yeah, so Clarissa also popped out with Papoose and I saw that going viral online or whatever. And I feel like every time Clarissa goes viral now, ever since she began dating Papoose, it's always for, you know, people having a conversation about what they don't like about her when it comes to her look or her relationship or Whatever. And what you. What happens in real time, like, in real life with Clarissa is a lot different than what happens online. So she came to the festival. She was backstage. Clarissa has always been one of the nicest people to me that I've, you know, like, celebrity wise, that I've met. You know, when I first got back on the Breakfast Club and things were kind of going a little crazy and everything was happening, Clarissa had actually reached out to me then and just, you know, sent me some, like, positive words and, you know, like, you know, not to live in a noise and. Oh, my God, like, yes, same, sis, same. Because I watched people react to her in real time. When she pulled up at the festival and she went and walked through the black marketplace of the black vendors that were set up, and fans were going crazy, and not only for her, they were going crazy. I mean, the whole day was full of so much love and people really locked in. But, like, fans were really excited to see her. And honestly, to see Papu's with her, like, they. And I think it's because you see it online so much. So to be, you know, a. A spectator of the sport, no pun intended, because we're talking about the female goat here. And then to see, you know, her in real life with Papoose as they, you know, walk throughout the event like they could barely get through the crowd of people. That's how much love they were getting at the event, honestly. But she came out on stage. You have Cheryl Underwood on stage as well. DJ Envy and Charlamagne on stage, and they're just having a conversation real quick. Like, real, real quick. Just bringing out a bunch of the.
- [07:26]
DJ Envy
The.
- [07:26]
Lauren LaRosa
The, you know, the people that are attendance. And let's take a listen to Cheryl Underwood's conversation with Clarissa. I like you statuess and you Chocolatey co Barbie do. Thank you very much. Are you single? No, I'm with Papoose. Okay, hold on. No. How you don't know that
- [07:46]
Ben (Shopify Entrepreneur)
Y' all
- [07:47]
Charlamagne Tha God
start talking that who's upstairs right now.
- [07:49]
Lauren LaRosa
I know. Wait a minute. Respect makes you ask the status. I don't know how I missed that moment. Like, in real time. I don't know what they had me backstage prepping for, but I am pissed that I missed that in real time. But, man, yeah, it was just such a great time. CeeLo and K, Michelle talked to Nori and N and DJ Ethan of Drink Champs, and their conversation range from a lot of different things. To be honest, I wish that they had more time, and I wish that they had done one interview with one person versus two people within 40 minutes. Like, I feel like they didn't really get a chance to dive as deep as they normally do on the show, which I understand. You know, when you watch a live podcast, you're not, like, you're not going to get everything that you would normally get when you watch them because it's live. Timing is different. Like, you know, But I do wish they did one person versus the two, even though both of those people are great interviews for drink champs. But, yeah, so they had a conversation and they were talking to CeeLo about whether Atlanta is running hip hop right now. And the way he hesitated, I'm like, yo, he want to say no so bad, but, like, as like OG Atlanta, he can't. Let's take a listen.
- [09:04]
DJ Envy
I think, no, I think it's like a. Having an intermission right there. I think everybody in the concession stand at the concession, you know, but, you know, the vibe, man, it just is supposed to be transcendent, transferable. Touch the next man, touch the next person, the next region, the next wave, style, trend, etc, you know, I mean, like, inspire it. You know what I mean? Like, a lot of the times, man, the industry is like a roller coaster ride. Let's say Six Flags. You want to ride the screen machine, you're gonna wait in line, you're gonna be anticipating, you know, get on, ride it. You're gonna be scared. You're gonna be free of about a minute and a half straight up, however long it is, right? It's like, damn, I waited forever for some shit that just last a minute and some seconds, right? Or it seems and you leave out, you go back around and the line is just as long but not longer. And if you want to ride that ride again, you want. If you want to ride that ride again, you got to get back in line. That's it. And I think life is a lot like that. But the industry is especially like that. So let it be. You know what I'm saying?
- [10:18]
K. Michelle
No, no, no. They always look over Memphis. I feel like Memphis is having a of ton time in hip hop right now, and we do have three six Mafia, you know, and I feel like a lot of the sound of that type of hip hop, it was, you know, took for them, they really didn't get. I feel like all the acknowledgement three six Mafia deserves when it comes to hip hop and being in the south. And right now, I feel like the hip hop artist from Memphis right now. Glorilla, Glorilla. You got push shots. You still still got Dolph, you got Kenny money. You got. You've got finesse. You know, you have some really talented lyricists right now that everyone is listening to, and they have that old school Memphis sound.
- [11:05]
Lauren LaRosa
And then they throw, you know, they throw it to K. Michelle because K. Michelle jumps in and she's having a conversation about the fact that Memphis is where it's at right now, musically, in the moment that they're having. But one of the people that she bigs up is Ken the Man, who is a female rapper who I've been like, I love Kin the Man. Kendaman pops her S H I T. Okay. Kinman is a. You know, she's a young female rapper. I feel like I thought the mass is new Kin the Man, but Nori and DJ Effing didn't know who she was. But K. Michelle showed her a lot of love. Let's take a listen.
- [11:41]
K. Michelle
If you're going through something right now, ladies, you can put on Kin the Man from. From top to bottom and go through it. Like when you would put on that Trina, when you would put on them type ruggies, Ken the Man is that right now. And watching her grow, watching her shows grow, okay? Like, love her as a new artist.
- [12:01]
DJ Envy
Love her.

Lauren LaRosa
You also had, you know, Mona. Don't call me White girl on the stage. You had the 520 podcast. You had Grits and Eggs. Like, it was just good to see some of your favorite people that talk about all the things all the time in person. Like, and I, as a. Like, as a fan of podcasts and a fan of some of these people, I went out and sat in the crowd and watched as much as I could. Hosting this year because I hosted it along with DJ Envy and Charlemagne. Hosting this year was a bit different. Last year I got to introduce the panel, and then I was able to actually kind of, like, watch the show a bit more and, you know, like, experience, like, the crowd a bit more. I didn't really get that much of an opportunity this year to do that, although I tried so shout out to all the low riders that I saw at the podcast festival. But, yeah, just an amazing day. I. I think it's just beautiful to see something grow in real time. And again, I just started attending last year and they've been doing this before that, and I'm talking about growth. So I'm excited to see where they go next year and how even bigger it gets next year. But one of the things that I love is that I felt like the audience was so locked into the conversations this year, which is amazing because you learn so much, getting to watch the pros do it in real time and then getting to listen to some of the panels and all that. So I just hope that everybody was able to take away something and people enjoyed themselves and had a great time. Thanks to everybody that bought my merch. The brown Girl grinding merch was in the Black Effect store. Thank you guys so much. There is a cold running live right now. Just because I felt so much love around the merch, I wanted to say thank y'. All. So I'm making some things even cheaper for y' all to shop. And it's code bgg love, b g g love spell l o b e on brown girlgrinding.com to get some percentages off of the merch as you're shopping at checkout. And that is why I'm here struggling right now doing this podcast, because I am exhausted. My body is exhausted, my voice is exhausted. But I'm just grateful to even be able to like, I. I love being in situations where, like, you're amongst the greats, so you have no choice but to learn. And that's how the Black Effect Podcast Festival feels every single year. So grateful to have experienced that with the team in Atlanta.

Wheezy WTF Host
This is weezy. WTF from Decisions, decisions. You know, a lot of us grew up not fully trusting the healthcare system. And honestly, the system has given us plenty of reasons to feel that way. But now it's time for us to take control of the conversation, to take control of our sexual health, learn the facts, ask questions, and advocate for ourselves. That's how we start changing the story. So let's talk. We like to think HIV is something that affects other people, but it is hitting our own community hard. Black women make up about 13% of women in the US but account for nearly half of all new HIV diagnoses around women. And being proactive doesn't mean you just don't trust your partner. It just means you trust yourself enough to stay in control. So know your options, ask questions, and protect your peace and your body. That's real power. Because protecting yourself isn't embarrassing, it's responsible. Sex is normal. Protecting yourself should be normal, too. Actually, it's kind of badass. Taking control of your sexual health is grown woman energy, sponsored by Care for the Culture from Gilead Sciences.

Ben (Shopify Entrepreneur)
A lot of you ask how I actually run my business behind the scenes. And honestly, Shopify is the reason it exists. For me, Shopify is the place where I took this little idea I had and turned it into a real business. It's the platform where I own everything. My store, my customers, my community. When I started my storefront, Shopify made it just so easy. With just a few clicks, I was ready to share my vision with the world. And the best part, Shopify literally gets my products everywhere. People Shop, Google, YouTube, TikTok, the Shop app, even ChatGPT. I still remember the first ever sale I made for my fashion brand embellished. That little notification cha ching, cha ching, cha ching is music to my ears. And Shopify made it all possible. I'm so pumped that Shopify is going to show up at our Black Effect Podcast festival this year in a big way for all of our small black owned businesses that partner with us plus shop pay, the purple button is a game changer. Fast one click checkout. If I don't see it when I'm shopping, I'm stressed. So I love knowing my customers get that same trusted experience.

Lauren LaRosa
Another thing I did while I was in Atlanta, I went to go see the Michael Jackson movie. I went to go see the Michael biopic and you know, I saw, you know, all of the headlines and the conversations about the fact that fact that the Michael biopic became the number one movie in the world. The biggest opening ever globally after grossed over $200 million. Now this means that it outgrowths nearly all of the films in 2026 period so far. But I went to go see the movie and I'm gonna Be honest with y'. All. Like, I don't understand the critics reviews and I'm gonna tell you guys why. Like, I understand why there's pushback about what's not in the film, but I don't agree with the critics that the stuff that should have been added or not. Not that I don't agree with them, but I don't see why the critics solely focused on the sexual assault allegations not being included in Michael's story. Because I feel like there was so much more that I wanted to see in the story before you even got to that time period. So originally I was supposed to go see the Michael movie Friday evening when. When I first landed in Atlanta, a lot of my friends and my family flew in because they love the podcast festival as well. They come. They've come both years now that I've been a part of it. So we went out to dinner, we got there, things were moving so slow with our service and we were just having a good time. We end up not making it to the movie. Then the podcast festival was Saturday, so Sunday before I flew out, I did a mat in a movie and I didn't get to see anybody dancing, you know, in front of the screen. Like my movie theater, they were very chill. There were some people dressed up. But the movie was amazing. The movie felt like a hug. The movie made you like. I was like smiling and warm the whole time, cuz I'm like, man, like we just. We don't have this greatness anymore. Like, the way Michael was so intentional about his career, you know, shaping his, like, his brand and the way people received him and received information about him and his mystique and the way he didn't take for granted what was happening in his life and the gift that God gave him, but more importantly, the ability to reach all people, not just black people, but all people because of the platform and the amount of success and the amount of fans that he had grown was like, it was the. One of the best lessons in understanding your why and just to see how rooted in family he was like, even to his detriment at some point, to see how rooted in family he was. I think, you know, the goal of this movie, from everything I've watched with the cast and read, was to humanize him a bit more. And. And I think that there have been things that have humanized him, but I think because Michael Jackson is so fearful, famous, even all these years after his death, it's almost like he's a fairy tale. Like he's not a Real person. And the conversation has, you know, been for the last few years about the allegations and people resuing and refiling lawsuits and, you know, all of that. I think that we get lost in all of that stuff and forget just how God sent that man's talent was and the fact that like, we will never experience that again. That's all I kept thinking is, what a time to be alive, to be watching Michael Jackson as his star roles and you're seeing him amass this crazy level of wealth and success and all of these things that man like, ugh. And then I was thinking about, you know, all of the crazy comparisons to Michael Jackson and I'm like, never. I don't ever want to hear that again. Like, this movie really just. It's just such a feel good hug around who he was as a person, what he stood on and how he was blessed. Because even in the worst of times, he stood on that and what he did for others and just how important that was with everything that he had and everything he had going on. It was always about other people. But there was a lot that I wish that they had gotten into that they didn't like and not the allegations. That's why I'm like, I don't really understand why the critics only leaned into that. I think that that's, you know, as a, as a person in the media, I know that, like, that's the headline, right? Like, that's the, that's the bait. That's. That's what makes you click it. That's what gets the conversation going. But to be honest, I would love to see the conversation about Michael Jackson and all the catalogs that he owned and how he owned so much of the music industry's catalogs. I would have loved to see more in depth just the dynamic with him and Quincy Jones, because I feel like the way that we saw that, the dynamic of Quincy Jones and him in this movie is how we kind of like typically always see it. And it wasn't a bad depiction or anything like that, but I just, I thought there would be more. Especially because his estate was so involved in this storytelling and it's Antoine Fuqua, like, who is a master storyteller. I also thought that we would get some more that we had never seen or just a point of view about the relationship that Michael Jackson had with his father, Joe Jackson. So I thought we would go a little bit deeper there and that didn't happen. I also, I feel like they could have really used the Diana Ross parts of it. But again, not just glossed over, but went in depth about that. I definitely think that the whole Pepsi in the last tour and, you know, that time period, I wish that, like, we had gotten a bit more. Like, there was. It's like we hit so many points in his life from the time he was a child to that last, like, bad tour in 1988 in this movie. Like, that's the timeline. But, like, I was like, oh, I wanted more. And it wasn't even the stuff that everybody else was yelling about. Like, there's so much, like, I would love to ask, you know, Antoine Fuqua and some of the writers, like, how did you guys in that state, how did you guys figure out what to even keep and how to tell the story? My only pushback of this was that as amazing as it was, as much as it made me smile, as much as it warmed my heart to see him on the screen and, oh, my God, his nephew did an amazing job. The younger boy, the child actor that played Michael Jackson as well, was really, really good too. His nephew, Jafar Jackson, bodied this role. From the movements, he looked just like Michael Jackson does in all the videos, to the mannerisms, to the voice, to, you know, like, you really felt the heart and soul of Michael Jackson through his nephew. Like I said in the movie theater, I'm like, yo, this family is like the. The poster child family for is in the Blood. Because it's so na. He was doing it so naturally. Like, there was no overacting. Like, shout out to the choreographers, too. Oh, my God. In the. The wardrobe. I know Marcy Rogers, who's a black woman. She's a black woman stylist. Did the wardrobe here like, oh, my God. But, yeah, that. That was my only critique was that there was a lot of, like, the story that we did see that. Like, I wish we had just gotten deeper into, like, I wish, because I just think that they have the range to be able to really tell us things we did not know. And even with the vitiligo stuff and the, you know, Michael Jackson, you know, allegedly wanting to be white, even that was like, kind of glossed over a bit. Like, they mentioned certain things, but, like, they didn't go into depth, but, like, his struggle with that. So I wish we had gotten some of that. But when they were talking about a sequel, and I know Lena Long was on the Today show with Coleman Domingo and mentioned the sink sequel. Let's take a listen. When they talk about a sequel, there's no way they cannot do another movie. They have To. There is so much more that we got to get into. Even. Even if you never touch the allegations, there's so much more. But it was a great movie. I recommend everyone to go see it. Definitely something you take your family to go see. It just makes you feel good. And also, like, if you're a person that is getting up every day and trying to figure out life and very passionate about what you put out into the world and how it's a reminder of, like, greatness is rewarded. Like, and especially in 2026, I feel like we've gotten so far away from, like, people actually caring about the product of what they're putting out. The look, how it makes people feel, but also the humanity of the art. Like, being an artist is like, you literally are able to take people's emotions from high to low, low to high. Like, you can move mountains with art, with storytelling, with song, with dance. I think we've gotten so far away from, like, how much of a gift our gifts are, and this movie was a good reminder of that. So shout out to them. You know, they definitely need a sequel, though. Like, if there's no sequel done. This is not justice.
