Full Show | Two teen gunmen open fire at Islamic Center in San Diego; Chris Brown haters still emerging; Ne-Yo marital issues caused poly-lifestyle; T.I. talks new music and One Voyage; and More

From breaking news to celebrity drama, today’s Rickey Smiley Morning Show delivers a mix of serious headlines and real talk that keeps listeners locked in. The show opens with a tragic story out of San Diego, where two teenage gunmen opened fire at an Islamic Center, killing three people before taking their own lives. Authorities say the suspects expressed “generalized hate rhetoric,” and the shooting is being investigated as a hate crime, with reports indicating the teens may have shared extremist views and left behind writings tied to racial hatred.  

On the entertainment side, the show breaks down why Chris Brown continues to trend, as his latest album Brown sparked major backlash after receiving an extremely low 1.3 rating from Pitchfork, which labeled the project “soulless” and “hit-chasing.” Despite the criticism, fans and collaborators are defending him, highlighting his long-standing success and influence. Meanwhile, Ne-Yo opens up about his personal life, revealing that the end of his marriage to Crystal Renay—after accusations of infidelity—pushed him toward a polyamorous lifestyle, which he says is rooted in honesty and works better for him, even as it continues to spark public debate. The show also features T.I., who talks about his return to music, teasing new projects while reflecting on Atlanta’s culture—including how clubs like Magic City still serve as testing grounds for hit records, a tradition deeply tied to the city’s hip-hop scene. With its blend of heavy news, culture, and candid conversations, this episode keeps listeners informed while staying true to the show’s voice.
