FULL EP | Soulja Boy Arrested on Gun Charges; Sha’Carri Richardson Arrested and Released; Drama Between Stephen A. Smith and Michelle Obama; and MORE  

Rapper Soulja Boy (DeAndre Cortez Way) was recently arrested during a traffic stop in West Hollywood on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm following his 35th birthday celebration. Prosecutors have since declined to file charges against him, but the incident adds to his ongoing legal issues, including a civil judgment of over $4 million earlier this year over assault and sexual battery claims.  

Sha’Carri Richardson, the Olympic sprinter, was detained at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport after reportedly engaging in a domestic dispute with her boyfriend, fellow sprinter Christian Coleman. She was held overnight before being released, as Coleman declined to press charges. Coleman has since publicly defended Richardson, emphasizing that emotional pressure and public scrutiny often accompany athletic fame.  

Meanwhile, a heated cultural debate unfolds as Stephen A. Smith responded angrily to former First Lady Michelle Obama’s remarks likening ESPN’s First Take to the “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” calling the comparison disrespectful. Smith, while respectful toward Obama personally, pushed back against what he characterizes as emotional manipulation during the 2024 election and reaffirmed the professionalism and commitment athletes and commentators bring to sports discourse.
