In today’s Rickey Smiley Morning Show, four compelling stories take center stage. Hip-hop pioneers Salt‑N‑Pepa are suing Universal Music Group to reclaim rights to their master recordings, alleging UMG is blocking their music from streaming platforms even after they’ve legally filed to regain control—a battle underscored by their upcoming induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. In a bold public display, Jay‑Z reportedly had a $3 million chain snatched by a fan during the closing leg of Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour in Las Vegas; the alleged theft is raising questions about event security protocols. 

Shifting gears to education and legacy: Texas has enacted a statewide ban on cell phones and smart devices in public schools, effective this fall under House Bill 1481, requiring schools to store devices away during the school day to boost student focus and limit distractions. And finally, beloved TV icon Tisha Campbell joins the RSMS crew, opening up about her four decades in entertainment, her resilience through financial hardship, and her upcoming projects in music and film—highlighting why her legacy continues to inspire.
