449. What do Jay-Z, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Yung Miami, & Nolan Wells' parents have in common?
Tuesday, 29 September, 2026

Those these 4 situations are very different, the reactions, hate and scorn directed at them as opposed to the systems they are part of is part of the problem. Why do we have so much smoke for the individuals but not the systems? To be clear, the only real "victims" out of my scenarios here are the Wells family so don't think I'm comparing the others as victims too. We need to be mindful of how we come at people while saying nothing for the systemic issues in the NFL, hip-hop, the school system, or the justice system. It's ridiculous. #nfl #hiphop #hiphopmusic #blackwomen #spenddat #yungmiami #jayz #colinkaepernick #nolanwells #nikolehannahjones Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
