On this episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast, Rickey Smiley and the crew spoke about various topics. At this year’s MTV VMAs, Drake and Kendrick Lamar will go head-to-head, once again, in the highly competitive Best Hip Hop category—Drake with “Nokia” and Kendrick with “Not Like Us.” While Kendrick is also up for Artist of the Year, Video of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best Direction, Drake’s sole nod underscores the intense rivalry powering this showdown. 

Meanwhile, former MLB star David Justice made headlines by opening up about his marriage to Halle Berry. Justice said that Berry proposed to him and candidly revealing it ended because “she didn’t cook or clean”—and reflecting that “therapy might have saved the marriage.” On the political front, President Trump held a press conference addressing crime and “beautification” initiatives in D.C., proposing federal control of law enforcement and possible National Guard deployment despite a 26% drop in violent crime this year.
