00:00:04

Speaker 1: Good morning, Ricky. Good morning, America. Good morning to you.
00:00:14
Speaker 4: It's Friday, a beautiful day in the neighborhood, and here's what's happening in celebrity news, y'all. Basketball great LeBron James, y'all. People, oh, my God, are talking about him, saying LeBron James needs to be ashamed of himself. Now, it's being reported, y'all, that his business partner, Asked the judge, y'all, to cut, honey, his monthly child support to zero dollars. Now, they're saying, y'all, that LeBron James' longtime friend and business manager, Maverick Carter, asked the judge, y'all, to cut his child support obligation to zero for his beautiful 18-year-old daughter. Now, they're saying normally a father's child support obligation ends when the child turns 18. However, Crystal Streets, honey, the mother of Maverick's daughter, wants him to continue paying.
00:00:50
Speaker 1: I don't know if we may have talked about it. She's just asking for $ 25, 000 a.
00:00:53
Speaker 4: Month until she graduates. Now, the court documents obtained by TMZ show that Maverick's daughter is enrolled at an expensive boarding school, which he pays in full. Now, Maverick wants a monthly child support to insist he's paying for her education.
00:01:07
Speaker 1: Now, he insists.
00:01:08
Speaker 4: that he pays for everything, and he said that he needs that directly. Now, Maverick said his daughter turned 18 in July, and the court no longer had jurisdiction regarding her.
00:01:17
Speaker 1: Custody, and he also has a minor son.
00:01:20
Speaker 4: Now, in response to Crystal and Maverick's... Um, she said, and this is so sad, she said he is worth, honey, over $ 100 million and still should pay child support. In fact, she's only asking for an increase to $ 35, 000 a month. Now, Chrissy said that they agreed to the higher amount back in 2024, but it was never finalized due to the wildfires in California. Now, she also denied that Maverick's claim that she doesn't, um, that that, um, She doesn't see their daughter or spend little meaningful time with her because she's away in school.
00:01:52
Speaker 1: Now, this is going on and on and on.
00:01:54
Speaker 4: And people say birds of a feather flock together. LeBron is letting his manager do this to this woman. What does he probably do to his beautiful wife, Savannah, in situations like this?
00:02:04
Speaker 1: Boy, that is a stretch of all stretches. No, that's not. Yeah, you're pushing it down. No, that's not. I mean, think about it.
00:02:09
Speaker 4: If this man is hanging with this man that's his manager, he can say, man, bro, as y'all say, go ahead and give what you have, but that's your child.
00:02:17
Speaker 1: LeBron has nothing to do with that man's personal business.

Speaker 5: That means she's supposed to get everything that she asked the courts for.
00:02:23
Speaker 1: Well, I mean.
00:02:23
Speaker 3: Just because he got it.
00:02:24
Speaker 1: Well, he worked over $ 100 million.
00:02:25
Speaker 3: And what did she do to contribute to what he earned?
00:02:28
Speaker 1: Oh, well, honey. That part. Well, no. Okay, now you're just saying the question. I'm just asking the question. Because she said, honey.
00:02:35
Speaker 4: She said, first of all, she provides emotional support, coordinates her daughter's travel, and provides for her niece, even when she's in boarding school.
00:02:43
Speaker 1: So she does that as well, and that's for him, too. And he don't?
00:02:48
Speaker 5: What?
00:02:49
Speaker 3: And he don't?
00:02:50
Speaker 4: No, but he did something very tacky, honey. Now, in an email, honey, in the court document dated back in December, Maverick wrote to his ex, dealing with you is the only bad thing about my life, and I'll be so happy.
00:03:02
Speaker 1: When it's over.
00:03:04
Speaker 3: I can see that.
00:03:05
Speaker 1: Sounds like it. I can see that. I've been there. Who ain't been there? Like, golly. Me and all over the country can see that. I was there. I'm a woman. And I'm like, I can't turn 18.
00:03:14
Speaker 5: And they always want to make every single little thing complicated.
00:03:18
Speaker 3: It's not complicated. It's not complicated.
00:03:21
Speaker 1: It was not complicated.
00:03:23
Speaker 2: It shouldn't have to be.
00:03:24
Speaker 1: It shouldn't have to be.
00:03:25
Speaker 4: Well, that's why he shouldn't be stressing out like that.
00:03:29
Speaker 5: Together and not taking any little simple thing and making it complicated.
00:03:34
Speaker 1: Everything got to be a fight.
00:03:35
Speaker 4: So what would she be doing if he only made $ 100, 000 a year?
00:03:38
Speaker 1: What would he be doing if he was only making $ 100, 000 a year? No, no, no. What would she be doing? He chose her and married her, so evidently.
00:03:46
Speaker 3: We didn't know she was going to do all this. Who knew that?
00:03:49
Speaker 1: Who knew that?
00:03:49
Speaker 5: We didn't get a video before we stood at the altar. We didn't get the video. We didn't see no signs of that.
00:03:56
Speaker 4: And she didn't know having a baby for him, huh, would put her through all this stress, but the man wouldn't even try to take care of his own child.
00:04:00
Speaker 1: He did take care of her. He's covering all the bills. He pays for everything for her. He's been taking care of her. Her school, her daily, everything.
00:04:07
Speaker 4: Because he's the man, and he's financially secured in her.
00:04:10
Speaker 1: That's why. He's paid for. So what more is he supposed to do?
00:04:14
Speaker 3: Is she in a wheelchair?
00:04:16
Speaker 1: Well, she didn't say if she was or not. She can't work.
00:04:18
Speaker 4: Well, she's probably working, but she's probably not making as much money as him. This man is worth over $ 100 million.
00:04:23
Speaker 1: No, he's not worth. He made. He generated that. He's not worth that. He wasn't just gifted that.
00:04:28
Speaker 4: And if he would have had a good damn wife to go home to to console with and.
00:04:31
Speaker 3: To hug him How do you know she was a good wife to go home to?
00:04:33
Speaker 1: Well, he was married to her, so she was a.
00:04:34
Speaker 3: Good wife to go home to. They would still be together, right?
00:04:37
Speaker 1: Well, nah. They got a child together. So you got a child together.
00:04:40
Speaker 4: You need to sit there and be able to take care of your child.
00:04:42
Speaker 1: He did. Because now your child is looking at this.
00:04:44
Speaker 4: Daddy is worth over $ 100 million working with LeBron James. LeBron James' kids are doing very well and stuff. So, I mean, and I'm sure Savannah is doing well. So why can't she do well?
00:04:53
Speaker 1: This don't have nothing to do with LeBron James. Gary, he is taking care of his child. What part of the story do you not understand?
00:04:59
Speaker 3: No, no, no.
00:04:59
Speaker 1: They need not take care of him because we got this story.
00:05:01
Speaker 4: And the mama said she want him to continue to take care of her and her children or whatever.
00:05:06
Speaker 1: She's in boarding school. She gets fed.
00:05:08
Speaker 2: She gets clothed.
00:05:09
Speaker 1: She stays at the school.
00:05:11
Speaker 5: Right.
00:05:11
Speaker 1: Hey, let me put it like this. Once you pay off your car, do you keep making payments? Yes, because you got to put gas in. You got to change the oil.
00:05:18
Speaker 2: You keep making that $ 700 a month payment after it's paid off.
00:05:20
Speaker 5: No. Right. That's your responsibility to put the gas in there once the car is paid off.
00:05:25
Speaker 1: That's his responsibility. He created that child.
00:05:28
Speaker 3: Well, if she's old, how old is she?
00:05:30
Speaker 1: She's just 18 years old.
00:05:31
Speaker 3: Okay, so why he can't give it.
00:05:33
Speaker 1: Directly to her? She's an adult, right? Well, but she got to pay for the school, and so she got to go to school.
00:05:39
Speaker 5: He can pay us directly to the school or give it directly to her.
00:05:42
Speaker 1: And that was one of his arguments.
00:05:43
Speaker 5: He's like, she's 18 now, so the court should be out of it. And then if somebody paid the money and did what they were supposed to do for 18 years, why are you in court asking for something else? Right.
00:05:53
Speaker 4: Because she's still in school, so she's probably ready to finish.
00:05:56
Speaker 1: Paying the school. He's paying the school. $ 100 million. That has nothing to do with it. She didn't manage LeBron.
00:06:01
Speaker 5: She didn't build LeBron's.
00:06:08
Speaker 1: Career. But that's not a good look for LeBron, though.
00:06:10
Speaker 4: Look how your manager is not taking care of his family business.
00:06:14
Speaker
3: It's not a good look for her.
00:06:15
Speaker 2: I don't know why y'all.
00:06:16
Speaker 1: Going back and forth with Gary.
00:06:18
Speaker 5: It ain't a good look for her and her family, for her going to court trying to get money, scam money from him after he done did what he.
00:06:25
Speaker 3: Was supposed to do. He met his obligation. What more do you want?
00:06:28
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, the woman said, honey, she still needs help, and honey, he should still give her help, honey.
00:06:33
Speaker 1: I mean, men should help her.
00:06:33
Speaker 3: Well, that's what food stands for.
00:06:34
Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Now that that's said and done, y'all know what time it is. I'm not going to sit here and debate you.
00:06:39
Speaker 5: Sha-la-la.
00:06:40
Speaker 1: Sha-la-la, baby. Sha-la-la-la-la. Sha-la-la-la-la, honey. Yeah, sha-la-la-la-la.
00:06:46
Speaker 4: The clue of the day, honey, is one of my favorite clues. My clue of the day, y'all, is Petrol. On the high end, you say Petrol, and on the low end, you say beautiful black. That's a clue for the day.
00:06:55
Speaker 3: Beautiful clue. Y'all give it up again with the team.
00:07:00
Speaker 1: Hold it!
00:07:00
Speaker 3: Half man, half woman.
00:07:02
Speaker 4: It's Gary.
00:07:03
Speaker 3: I want to hip you to the T.
00:07:05
Speaker 6: Mm-mm.
00:07:06
Speaker 1: It's Gary, baby.
00:07:08
Speaker 3: Gary has the T and the cologne of the day. Gary.
00:07:11
Speaker 1: Good morning, Ricky. Good morning to you.
00:07:13
Speaker 4: It's Friday, a beautiful, beautiful day in the neighborhood, and here's what's happening in celebrity news, y'all. Cardi B's stylist, baby, Colin Carter, is calling out y'all America's Next Top Model judge, Miss Janice Dickinson, honey, for shading Miss Cardi B.
00:07:26
Speaker 1: And I mean, maybe she had a reason to do it. Who knows, honey? But she talked about this girl runway walking. Here's what went down.
00:07:32
Speaker 4: I understand using celebrities to promote your clothes, but.
00:07:35
Speaker 2: Cardi B is waddling down the runway.
00:07:38
Speaker 5: This is not a runway walk.
00:07:40
Speaker 2: She doesn't know what she's doing. She should stick to rap. I'm going to give her a two.
00:07:46
Speaker 6: Sorry, Cardi B fans, but it's not working for me.
00:07:49
Speaker 2: Look at how she's swinging her arms.
00:07:52
Speaker 4: She's not a supermodel.
00:07:54
Speaker 1: She's a rapper!
00:07:58
Speaker 5: What?
00:07:59
Speaker 4: Baby, Miss Janice Dixon came back to life, honey. Yeah, she said, good as great, no model. She said, you're a rapper, honey. Stick to rapping, honey. Wobbling down the runway. That's not how supermodels walk. Supermodels walk, honey, with pride and dignity. And they give it when they walk down the runway, honey. Take notes from Miss Naomi Campbell or Miss Tyra Banks. You can't just say you're a model and model in clothes, girl. You're not walking right. And that's what Miss Janice Dixon had to say, and she
put a period at the end of that.
00:08:26
Speaker 2: Who cares?
00:08:28
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, you don't.
00:08:30
Speaker 4: Think Cardi B is better as a rapper than a fashion model?
00:08:34
Speaker 6: I don't play about Cardi B. Don't talk about Cardi B. Who cares what Janice Dixon had to say?
00:08:39
Speaker 2: Who cares?
00:08:40
Speaker 4: Well, we love Janice. Janice Dixon was one of America's first top models.
00:08:43
Speaker 2: That's fine. That's fine what she was. That's fine.
00:08:46
Speaker 6: She also allegedly has a drug addiction. She ain't talking about Cardi B. Cardi B can do whatever she want to do.
00:08:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, but model, honey.
00:08:52
Speaker 6: We all can do whatever we want to do. Only God can judge everybody.
00:08:56
Speaker 1: She got something to model now.
00:08:58
Speaker 6: And people show was watching her. She definitely bring the people out to the party, baby.
00:09:03
Speaker 2: Yes, sir. To the runway and to the fashion show. Yes, she did. When they know she coming, they want to come, too.
00:09:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, when Miss Dixie said, girl, I'm going to give this girl a two, honey.
00:09:11
Speaker 2: It don't matter what she said. It don't matter.
00:09:15
Speaker 3: She Cardi B.
00:09:15
Speaker 4: We love Jen, but we love Cardi. Cardi's a great model. Baby hips going from side to side, honey. All right, Miss Cardi B.
00:09:21
Speaker 2: That's right. That's how they go, from side to side when you walk.
00:09:24
Speaker 1: All right, then. All right, moving on. Another celebrity news, y'all. Mike, oh, Lord, people are talking about Michael B. Jordan. Michael B. Jordan is making African-American men look bad. They're saying, I've been reporting to y'all, that Michael B.
00:09:34
Speaker 4: Jordan stepped out, honey, for the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art opening night gala the other night, baby. They say he looked a little bit different, honey, because people are saying, honey, that ultra-crisp version of the actor, honey, fans, or what the customers are saying, they say, honey, he needed a haircut.
00:09:49
Speaker 1: They say he didn't need a haircut.
00:09:52
Speaker 5: What?
00:09:53
Speaker 3: You don't need nothing?
00:09:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, he needs a.
00:09:55
Speaker 4: First of all, honey, how dare they say, honey, as grand as this man is, they're saying, black social media quickly found something else, and they talked about his doggone hair.
00:10:05
Speaker 1: Now, people are saying that it was a myth that he came out looking like that.
00:10:08
Speaker 4: They said a photo of Jordan circulated on Instagram with users pointing out that the actor appeared to have skipped a fresh fade and razor-sharp line-up generally expected before a major red carpet appearance.
00:10:18
Speaker 1: And you know... Y'all know he's not.
00:10:19
Speaker 3: Getting rid for a movie or something.
00:10:21
Speaker 2: Right.
00:10:21
Speaker 1: But I tell you what, he should have stayed at home. Then I put on a stocking cap.
00:10:24
Speaker 3: No, I shouldn't.
00:10:25
Speaker 1: Then send a viral post. Don't nobody have to sit up in.
00:10:27
Speaker 3: No barber shop. Don't nobody have time to get a haircut all the time.
00:10:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Ricky, you get a haircut every week. No, I don't.
00:10:33
Speaker 5: No, I don't.

Speaker 1: So back to the point.
00:11:13
Speaker 3: The point is not.

00:11:46
Speaker 1: And what do you say about the.
00:11:47
Speaker 3: Haircut, Gary?
00:11:48
Speaker 4: They say, honey, for plenty of black men, getting a haircut before something important is practically muscle memory. They say a wedding coming up, get a fresh cut. They say a first date, honey, get a fresh cut. They say a job interview, get a fresh cut. Definitely get a cut. They say in award shows or fashion events, they say you better know, honey, where your barber is. The shape of sometimes called the line of our edge creates those sharp, defined edges around the hairline that have become a staple of black men's grooming to the point that hairstyle guidelines and guys routinely describe it as one of the defined elements of contemporary black men haircuts.
00:12:21
Speaker 1: And he made black men look bad.
00:12:22
Speaker 4: He should have had his hair cut or he should have done something to it or he should have wore a cap or whatever.
00:12:26
Speaker 1: You don't go nowhere looking with your hair undone.
00:12:29
Speaker 4: Looking unmessed like that, honey.
00:12:30
Speaker 1: And I feel bad for the black men.
00:12:32
Speaker 5: Well, we're going to tell all the men to make sure y'all get a haircut, especially if you're coming to the Melwood Art Center tonight, 1860 Melwood Avenue.
