FULL SHOW | 37-Year-old woman shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis; Ray J admitted to Las Vegas hospital for pneumonia and heart pains; John Legend may testify in LA Reid sexual assault case; Da Brat announces new book with her wife Judy Dupart; and MORE

An intense wave of headlines hit this week, with one of the most shocking incidents occurring in Minneapolis. A 37‑year‑old mother of three, Renee Nicole Good—a compassionate poet and U.S. citizen—was fatally shot by an ICE agent during an immigration operation. While federal officials claim she ran her vehicle into an officer, local authorities and archived video footage dispute that narrative, and critics have condemned the ICE presence as reckless and dangerous. Tensions flared as state officials were excluded from the probe, prompting concerns over transparency and accountability.  

In entertainment news, Ray J, 44, was hospitalized in Las Vegas with severe pneumonia and chest pains—the same illness he feared could have killed him in 2021. Medical staff performed X‑rays and an echocardiogram, and sources say he is grateful for the support and focused on recovery. Meanwhile, music icon John Legend is expected to testify in the upcoming sexual assault trial against powerhouse executive L.A. Reid, where allegations suggest Reid blocked Legend’s early career in retaliation—adding emotional weight to intersection of fame and justice. On a lighter note, rap star and Rickey Smiley’s own Da Brat and her wife Judy Dupart are set to release their joint memoir, The Way Love Goes, a candid and heartfelt guide exploring their journey from awkward beginnings to parenthood, offering insight into love and communication.
