The Rickey Smiley Morning Show kicks off with an uplifting morning prayer before jumping straight into heavyweight headlines, including rising global tensions as President Trump weighs in on Iran, skyrocketing gas prices ahead of Memorial Day travel, and the economic fallout Americans are already feeling at the pump. Sports fans won’t want to miss fiery NBA playoff talk—Donovan Mitchell’s historic night, the Thunder sweeping the Lakers, and heated debate over whether LeBron James has played his final game as a Laker. The hour wraps with major music milestones as Janet Jackson, Tupac, Eric B. & Rakim, and George Clinton are honored in the Grammy Hall of Fame, sparking nostalgic and emotional reactions you have to hear.
