ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Now what did you think about what I said in this week's episode...
Welcome to this week's Blonde Intelligence. I am your host, Ms. Roni, and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. A police raid, a viral surveillance clip, and a rapper’s punchline turn into a real legal battle and it ends with a message I love: free speech still reigns. We open with Afro Man’s defamation case, the song “Lemon Pound Cake,” and the strange way one tiny moment can get replayed until it becomes the headline. Under the jokes, we talk about the real stakes of satire, public embarrassment, and why a massive payout for “defamation” can feel like punishment for telling a story through music.
Then we switch gears to the messy world of celebrity divorce reporting, focusing on Kandi and Todd Tucker. We react to the settlement rumors floating around online, the pushback that follows, and the bigger problem when bloggers and commenters treat speculation like verified court facts. We also get into the human side: custody, family support, personality clashes, and what a “traditional family” idea can look like when two strong people are trying to protect their kids and their pride at the same time.
We close with thoughts on Clarissa Shields and Papoose, and why outsiders rarely know enough to judge what’s happening inside a relationship. If two people are committed, distractions stay outside, but social media can make every hiccup feel like a public trial.

00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:28.239
Welcome to this week's Blonde Intelligence.
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:33.679
I'm your host, Miss Brownie, and I always seek to give you exquisite cranier repertoire.
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:40.960
This week I am not going to be before you long because your girl is going to enjoy her spring break.
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:47.039
But I am going to talk to you for briefly about a few things that's been going on this week.
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:51.520
And we're going to start off with the defamation case with Afro Man.
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:55.280
Now I remember Afro Man from when I was little.
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:59.280
He had a song and it was called Because I Got High.
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:03.039
I didn't summon something in the school, Because I Got High.
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:04.719
And I remember that.
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:10.239
And I what I like is that he's still true to who he is as an artist.
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:14.879
Because the type of music that he's still making is though along those lines.
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:24.159
So um I would say that as just before he's just true as an artist.
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:33.680
So when uh he was talking about the police came in and kicked his door in, and they was looking for all these illegal things.
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:34.799
I'm like, what?
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:43.439
And they were suing him about a song that he made called Lemon Pound Cake.
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:49.280
And from what I know of him as an artist, I was like, let me go and listen to this song.
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:54.400
And it was a good song.
00:01:54.480 --> 00:02:11.039
And he was like, he was he was seriously talking about all the things that was going on, but he was like, but the police wanted to put down his Glock for his grandmother's lemon pound cake and kept showing the snippet of that surveillance over and over again.
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:11.840
And that was funny.
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.000
And I'm like, why are they suing him?
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:16.639
Because that man stopped and looked at that cake.
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:21.520
Because that officer stopped and looked at that cake, and he was like, Should I grab this cake?
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:23.680
Should I can I put this under my arm?
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:25.439
He wanted to take that cake.
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:31.199
But I'm gonna say that I am glad that he won.
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:40.319
I saw when he was talking to the crowd of supporters that he had, that he was saying that free speech still reigned.
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:52.479
And I think that would have been a travesty for them to award three, what was it,$3.6 million to that police officer for defamation.
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:54.639
Well, how did he defame you?
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.360
You wanted that lemon pound cake.
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.879
You can see it all over your face, and that cake looks so moist.
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:02.080
It looks so moist.
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:07.280
So if his grandmother really made that lemon pound cake, that pound cake, oh my god, it looks so moist.
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.800
It had to be good to look good through a surveillance camera.
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:12.479
That's all I'm gonna say on that.
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:20.800
So let me move forward uh about the reporting on Candy and Todd Tucker.
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:49.280
Now, since the different reports have been coming out, because I think his name is Gary with the T, um, reported that they came to a settlement amongst themselves where Candy would pay Todd$2 million and he would retain the ownership of all the restaurants, he would have um primary custody, and she would pay for all the big ticket items and pay him child support.
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:54.319
And I know Candy has came out to say that that wasn't true.
00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:06.879
We don't know that, and they're saying now that a lot of the bloggers is going to get on the Zoom court hearing about it.
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:10.560
I guess they're trying to find out who's telling the truth and who's telling the lie.
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:18.560
I'm just gonna say it like this with Candy and Todd, I don't know if the roles were reversed.
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:20.560
I think they're two alpha males.
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:22.480
Ooh, Lord.
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:27.199
In personality, not in, you know what I'm saying.
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:43.759
But I feel kind of like some of this is pettiness and spitefulness from Todd, but also that Todd does love the children and his oldest daughter, he didn't find out about her until later.
00:04:43.920 --> 00:05:01.839
And I think that's why that bond might not be there like that, but he's there with those children to watch them grow up, to take their first steps, to say their first words, to be potty trained, to go to their first day of school, and all of those things.
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:09.839
And I just think that he feels that it's possessive, and maybe he wants a traditional family, per se.
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:21.920
Um, but I do see on Candy's end that Candy has the bigger, I would say, community, the bigger village to help with the children.
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:29.360
And that's where Todd might be lacking, and then a nanny will have to be paid for when there's so much family.
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:49.600
But I do hope that they get it together, and along with everybody else, even though it's not my business, I'll be watching to see what's what's going on because I cannot see somebody making a statement or somebody reporting on this information, and none of it is true.
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:53.600
I just cannot see that, but like I said, we'll keep looking.
00:05:53.920 --> 00:06:19.279
Now I'm gonna move on to Clarissa Shields, and I don't think that it's a big deal whether or not she called dude or whatever on Christmas because obviously, in my opinion, there had to be some type of conversation between her and Papoose before he just went over to spend Christmas.
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:24.079
I don't know what the deal was, and they're talking about new information that's coming out.
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:25.519
I don't know if new information is coming out.
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:30.319
I don't even know if it's information and that we even really care like that.
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:41.839
But until I I look at it as if two people make a commitment to each other, the outside distractions don't matter.
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:48.160
And in the words of Finesse two times, it's cool when they do it, it's a problem when I do it.
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:53.920
So whatever problem they got going on or whatever, they're working it out.
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:58.639
And people have a lot of negative comments to say about them, and some people have positive.
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:03.279
I think sometimes people just should just sit back and watch, see what's going on.
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:12.160
And I think that she's a younger woman with an older man, and it's some things that he done been there and done that that she still has to go through.
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:18.000
And it's the same as that she has to have patience with him, he has to have patience with her.
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:36.480
So I think that if they're really in love, things will work itself out, but um, they need to stay off social media, like for real, to stay off social media, and again, congratulations to Afro Man, and I am gone.
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:37.360
Bye.
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.720
