Mornings with Mero | Inside the NY Latino Film Festival, Tory Lanez & Food Talk | 9-15-26

On this episode of Mornings with Mero, Mero, Mia Belle, Kaz, Shani Kulture, and DJ Kast One bring the Tri-State a lively mix of hip-hop, culture, food, and community conversation. The crew welcomes Calixto Chinchilla, founder of the New York Latino Film Festival, to discuss the importance of Latino storytelling, independent film, and creating space for new voices in entertainment.

Elsewhere, Mero and the team react to the Ed Sheeran and Macklemore tour controversy, debate the culture’s complicated relationship with Tory Lanez and his planned listening-event tour, and unpack Coi Leray’s comments about her past issue with Latto. In the “Mind of Mero,” Mero delivers a hilarious reflection on being hungry, food cravings, Dominican pastelitos, and why nobody should grocery shop without eating first.

The crew rounds out the show with Hip Hop Jeopardy, chances to win Victoria Monét tickets, and the fast, funny, distinctly New York banter listeners expect from Mornings with Mero. See for privacy information.
