The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Three-mic episode. Taiwo pulled up as our biggest Davido fan on record, and we came in wrecked from the Asake concert the night before.

We switched things up again and opened with the music: Kimi's "Westside Tides," Guess where he's from. We liked the song so much that we also got suspicious about whether AI had something to do with it (1:28) Two listener hot takes and one hot hate : is Ayra Starr getting the push she deserves post-Roc Nation - especially at the same level Tems has gotten a push? (6:25) And is Davido really "a talentless hack"?

Yeah, we'll answer that one. Rage bait or not (10:19).

We then kicked things off in Chicago at Asake’s tour opener, rating the vibes, the crowd energy, and whether the performance actually hit or fell flat (13:02) PYO (24:25) And then we got into the main event: Odumodublvck vs. Blaqbonez .

Again. Except this time, there was a lot more to unpack.

Odumodu's wife responds to the pod, Blaqbonez gives his side, allegations of harassment and threats, the 32 calls, the Ghana trip, conflicting stories, shifting language, and why we're still nowhere close to knowing the full truth. At some point, the whole thing stopped being a rap beef and started looking like a courtroom drama (27:41) Speaking of bad blood: Davido and Wande Coal.

Why the unreleased verse never came out, whether Davido was right to reject the remix, and whether Wande had been harboring resentment for years. Plus, why does everybody seem to crash out at Davido specifically over his talent? (1:00:09) To wrap up, we discussed Ayra Starr and Llona's albums (1:07:57) Put You On this week: Kimi - Westside Tides, Kaestyle - Cairo, and Kemuel - Pitakwa Girls Riddim.
