The Morning Hustle delivered a mix of entertainment headlines, politics, and celebrity controversy as the crew weighed in on some of the biggest stories making news. During The Lo’Down, Lore’l discussed Macklemore’s decision to launch a new “Free Palestine” tour after being removed from Ed Sheeran’s tour, with the rapper doubling down on his support for Palestine and turning the controversy into a new platform for activism. The team also reacted to Nicki Minaj’s continued political campaigning, including a recent appearance encouraging fans to vote Republican, sparking debate about celebrity influence in politics and what may be motivating her outspoken support.

The conversation also turned to serious allegations involving Rick Ross after his ex-girlfriend Jasmine Kendrick claimed the rapper physically assaulted her and shared photos of an alleged injury on social media.
