What's up, Neighbors?! @missjillscott came to the house, and this one is soulful, hilarious, emotional and probably one of my favorite conversations we’ve ever had. We talk about her return in Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Again?, motherhood, making music, friendship, gratitude and the life she’s built for herself. Jill opens up in a way that is so vulnerable, so honest and so full of gratitude, there were a few moments that completely caught me off guard. And then there’s the story about Prince, Stevie Wonder and what Jill calls the best night of her life. Y’all. Just wait. There are even more moments from my day with Jill that we couldn’t fit into the episode.

My brotha @vicmensa pulls up to the house and it's about as random and intentional as you could imagine! Vic talks about the hard lessons he learned to arrive at this time in his life. Sobriety, religion, sex, self love, the music industry, being locked up - nothing was off limits. He also shares a pretty simple, yet powerful, gratitude practice that he says shifts his perspective in the moments he needs to refocus his mind most. We also talk about the incredibly popular social media content he's been making and how he's taking it to the next level with his own podcast The Vic Mensa Show and why he doesn't see himself as an activist. That's not to say he doesn't respond to the call to use his platform to lift up or challenge the perspectives of his community. Oh and shout out to @kevonstage, the love we have for him is real! Neighbors is it just me or does Vic seem like he's living in the middle of one of the best times of his life? ⭐️ ⭐️ Show Partners ⭐️ ⭐️ Amazon Music: Music, podcasts, audiobooks. All in one app!

Neighbors, what’s up?! Da’Vine Joy Randolph is in the house, and this one is full of big laughs, good energy and a word or two in-between! Da’Vine opens up about what life has looked like since winning the Academy Award, how she’s using that moment to create more opportunities for other Black women, and the mindset she brings into rooms with legendary actors and directors. She also gets into her love of fashion and how style has actually helped her land roles, plus the projects she’s now developing and producing for herself. And because it’s House Guest, the conversation goes everywhere. Da’Vine talks cooking, hosting, traveling abroad, and some of the things she loves outside of acting. Neighbors, show our girl some love in the comments, what was your favorite part from her visit?

What's up, Neighbors?! @omarion pulled up and it felt like a visit from a cousin! This one was nonstop laughs from the jump, the kind of episode where we barely got through a question without cackling. We got into the growth of B2K, how those brothers went from kids on stage together to grown men who genuinely root for each other's solo moves. The love between them now is real, and you can hear it when he talks about the new B2K music on the way. He also opened up about being a father, and it's clear that role means everything to him. We talked about how he approaches romantic relationships too, and he dropped some gems on that couch. His new album, O2 – Part 1, is out now, and we got into where his head was making it and what this new chapter sounds like. And on a more serious note, we touched on where some of the people from his early career are today. Real reflection, no names needed. Neighbors, what part of this one got you? Let me know in the comments.

Neighbors, what’s up?! @ellamai is in the house! We’re talking about her new album Do You Still Love Me?, hitting the road for her U.S. tour, and the journey that took her from London to New York and eventually into music. Ella opens up about moving to New York at eight years old, playing soccer for 10 years, and the moment she realized she had to choose between football and singing. She also talks about becoming a mother, whether she wants more children, and how life has changed since entering this new chapter. And once the games begin, we quickly learn just how competitive Ella really is. Have you got your tickets to see her on this tour?

Neighbors! House Guest turns 2 years old this Juneteenth so you already know we had to celebrate in style with Giveon, Yvonne Orji and Kyla Pratt!Thank you to Spotify for helping us celebrate!! Make sure to watch House Guest on Spotify! Giveon pulls up to talk about his new album and spends a good chunk of time trying to convince us he's not from London. Kyla brought the best energy in the building, and Yvonne? Pure chaos, the best kind. This was everything I could've wanted for our 2 year anniversary! And stick around, because at the end of the episode we announce something brand new: House Guest Game Night! So tell me, Neighbors, will you pull up to game night?

Neighbors! We took over Chicago with two of the most magnetic people on the planet, Luke James and Mojo Brookzz and y'all, this night was something else!Luke came in with his whole heart on his sleeve. He talked about being the best dad he can be, and then hit us with some live vocals that had the entire room melting. And Mojo had us in tears laughing the whole night, brought his yoyo on stage, and casually mentioned he almost joined the police force if the comedy thing didn't pan out. What made this one special though is how real both of these guys got about what it means to wake up every day doing work you love. The gratitude in the room was contagious. We played games, we laughed until it hurt, and yes, we got both of them to skip across the stage. This is exactly why we take House Guest on the road. Nights like this don't happen by accident.Where should we take the tour next?

What's up, Neighbors?! We took House Guest on the road and Atlanta did NOT disappoint. This live show was one for the books 🙌🏾 Danielle Brooks joined us and got real about the woman she has become, sharing what she would have told her 17-year-old self and there wasn't a dry eye in the room! Then Ms Pat brought her signature no-holds-barred energy, kept the whole room in stitches, and opened up about building her own shows to take care of her family. Together these two took us to church and the club on the same night, and Atlanta rocked out with us every step of the way! Which moment was your favorite?? ********************** ⭐️⭐️ Watch on Spotify. Spotify Premium users get no commercial breaks on my show! ⭐️⭐️

What's up, Neighbors?! Our girl Quinta Brunson finally made it to the house!! The Abbott Elementary creator and showrunner sat down with me and from jump, the energy was everything a good visit should be — real, warm, and full of laughs.Quinta gets into what it actually takes to build something great, why 22 episodes a year is no joke, and why making good art matters right now more than ever. She talks about hosting game nights with Questlove, and when we got the games out, she showed out. She also opens up about what it feels like to finally be in a creative space where she feels truly locked in. This one will light a fire under you whether you make things for a living or not.What has Quinta inspired you to create or go after?⭐️ ⭐️ Get 20% off Bask & Lather ⭐️ ⭐️Go to https://baskandlatherco.com and use code HOUSEGUEST for 20% off

What's up, Neighbors?! We took House Guest on the road and our NYC neighbors showed up and showed OUT for our first ever live show! Tamron Hall and Don Lemon came through and gave us powerful words, real talk, and a whole lot of laughs. The audience brought the energy, the room sang together, and let's just say Tamron After Dark is a real thing. We could not have done this without RedBull. Thank you for believing in the vision and helping make your boy's dream come true! Should we keep the tour going? Where do you want us to bring House Guest next? ⭐️⭐️ Watch on Spotify.
