4:05listening to this episode I want you guys to then go check for the episode to follow this one the day after and normally I don't even do episodes on the weekends but I want you guys to really experience this concert with us it has to feel good like it has to feel good to be back home selling out the garden like it's like the ultimate return to where you're from and this is not you know cardys like first return home first concert home those type of things um but every time has to feel good like there's no way it can't I was watching her original show not original show but her first night at medicine square garden uh the night before last and the opening scene where she comes out and there's smoke and it's you know she's walking slow and she's very powerful I was like man I can't imagine how she feels but at that moment I wanted to feel how she felt it not even because it's like you know there's all these people screaming and like the celebrity of it all but more

5:06or so just like oh I did this like my purpose my intention my passion all of that my ups my downs we've seen Cardi go through a lot publicly have all that hurt to this moment now let's get on into the latest speaking of Cardi B uh it was announced this week that Cardi B's music will now be studied at Howard University and it's not just her music per se it is the album rollout that Cardi B did for her studio album Emma the drama which is what she's on her little Miss drama tour uh touring right now and you know some of her own music as well too um but the hip-hop studies majors at Howard University will get to dive into how she wrote out the project how she you know targeted her market of her audience um the marketing course that it would be featured and it's offered an partnership with the Warner music and it'll break down the strategy behind Cardi's and my the drama album campaign now that album sold over two hundred thousand units in the first

6:08week alone just based off of pre sales you know she added WAP on the project as well too which people people was upset about it but the strategy WAP so crazy it was never placed on any of her albums because she hadn't dropped an album in years uh so all of the strategy will be a part of the 2026 fall semester for the students of that course now the Warner music uh university page um and Howard University's um university of fine arts which is the Chadwick Boseman College of Fine Arts program posted this to their Instagram and they said uh the Cardi B M at the drama the art production marketing and cultural impact is here at the Howard University and they opened up registration for the course now the course is an elective course and for those of you guys for anybody that didn't go to college elective course is basically something you can take on not the side because it still counts toward all of your credits that you need to graduate but there are like main courses you have to take so your math your Englishes your history courses um and then there

7:11are certain main courses you have to take with your major so like for instance I was a marketing major business administration major at Delaware State University and my main courses that related to my major I had a marketing class I had a business development strategy class uh but elective would have been something that I chose to take so sometimes either the courses so that you can have more fun with um that still counts towards your graduation but I think that this is dope I love when I see colleges do this because one of the things that I always felt like was missing during the time when I was at Delaware State and and I know it's gotten a lot better now I felt like being a marketing major I was there from 2010 to 2014 and I felt like being a marketing major at Delaware State University then which is an HBCU um I just felt like everything I was learning in real life as I was going out and doing all these creative and you know business based internships when I would come back to campus everything was so like boxed in like everything was like the the basic ABCs one two threes of business and marketing and strategy and development

8:18and I'm like do y'all not see us creative kids over here that also want to run businesses that also want to you know be able to come into a brand or a business figure out what they need and provide that like I always felt like that and to be honest with y'all and this is nothing I've never said before I love my HBCU but I feel like my teachers kind of gave me a hard time because they would give us assignments like oh go create a business and talk about how you're going to sell it and then the person that you're going to sell it to when they acquire it what is the basically like the franchise program that you're going to leave behind for them to follow and I remember I made a magazine and I made the magazine both digital and print because I felt like for where I knew things were going because Instagram was like the go to for everything but this was before shave room on Instagram ball alert on Instagram I was like anybody that picks up this business you're going to have to understand where digital is going and I need to be a part of the franchise I remember my teacher telling me it was a great idea I scored well on the project but he was like you didn't follow instructions because we can't look at this business because this isn't a real

9:22thing these businesses these type of businesses aren't tangible this market this it's dying so why I create a I remember this like yesterday why it was it's my senior year why I create a business in a dying market why focus on careers in a dying market lean more where business is growing not dying imagine telling a senior in college that who was looking to go out into the world and move the LA and working entertainment so I love seeing these type of courses because I feel like it encourages you know kids to understand that there are some ABC 1 2 3 practices to all of this creative thing all of the creative things that they're saying people do like becoming a music artist or you know even just exposes you the new jobs like okay so if I'm a student at Howard University and I'm looking at parties I will roll out as you know a course in my class that means I have to talk about everybody that helps her put this rollout together and actually execute it so it's not just about the rap artists it's not just about the music it's about the team and execution and the business and actual structure and foundation of it which I think really doesn't

10:26get talked about enough especially to people who have these like big hoop dreams so this is one of my favorite things to see so that course will begin in the fall of 2026 and was announced you know via the Instagrams that we talked about and it'll be offered Tuesdays and Thursdays on the campus now I'm not sure if it's only offered to like four times students at the at the at Howard University or not but maybe we can kind of like see maybe I can reach out and figure it out because this one's so viral and in parties the type to reach out to the school and try and figure out how she can support it I feel like I know this course is filled up there's no way that there's more space after that after the announcement like there's no way because it went so viral so yeah what's up everyone my name is Dr. J Barnett and I am the host of Jess Hill with Dr. J podcast listen one thing that I remember about my childhood is being able to remember my phone

11:27number because it was like the theme at that time you got to remember your phone number in case you get somewhere and you can't get in touch with anybody you need to be able to remember your phone number did you know that 2026 were marked the 150 anniversary of the first ever phone call it took place March 10 1876 and from the call that sparked it all to the first loan distant phone lines the first line across America the first line across the Atlantic the first round the world call the first commercial sales service the first 911 system AT&T has been connecting people for 150 years in so many different ways so when I think about AT&T and their 150 years I think about the lives that have been saved I think about the joy that has been shared because nothing says connection like AT&T connecting changes everything AT&T hey y'all what's up it's Laura Rosa okay let's talk curls for a second because you already know if you have curly or coiley hair moisture is not optional it's essential dryness is one of the biggest challenges for curly hair and most products they

15:40attempted home breaking to his home in porter ranch porter ranch is a part of california that is like out the way so you have la los angeles that people will talk about in hollywood that people talk about porter ranches probably about an hour from those places but that is where a lot of the celebrities live and buy homes like a lot of the celebrities both young and old because there's a bit of privacy you also have calabases as well too which i know you guys have heard like the conyes and the drinks wrap about kind of similar very out the way private porter ranches not as exclusive depending on where you are as calabases but saying just um but earlier yesterday morning um there were police that responded to christian's home in porter ranch and there was a phone call that was made to a la pd that christian combs and his girlfriend raven tracy who owns the uh active wear brand body by raven um they got a phone call saying that

16:44there was a burglary a burglary hot prowl now the burglary burglary hot prowl essentially just means that the suspect is actively trying to break into the home while the home owners are inside now this went down 12 45 a.m so imagine your home get in your bag to chill in and if you're hearing someone or your cameras or your alarms alert you that someone is trying to break in your home now officers wrote down the report of the attempted burglary at the scene but there's video circulating of tons of cops that swarmed uh to the scene once this call came in and what they found was that there was an attempt to enter the there was an attempt to enter the home through the rear door but the suspect or suspects did not gain entry now there was another person who was monitoring the surveillance video um at the time that also separately called la pd uh record show that raven tracy who owns body bear raven christian comes girlfriend uh owns this home and she

17:44had posted on instagram and this is the the scary thing about just um you know what you can put and celebrate on instagram once you have the follow words and the platform you don't even have to be a celebrity to be honest with you you could just be an influencer or influential enough where you have people that follow you enough to want to like i don't know just be envious or thank you got something that they want she had posted this home i remember she posted it because it was in the midst of all of the like diddy conversation craziness and there have been you know the allegations there was some allegations made against christian as well on the civil side um nothing that he's been found guilty of though um but she had posted it then and she's been sticking by their family this whole trial and christian as well too i mean it's her boyfriend but you know sometimes you know she has a business that she owns she has a brand of her own and sometimes people separate themselves in the midst of that but she did not uh when i when i was in court i would see her in court beautiful girl i would see her in court with christian i remember one time i went and grabbed food after i left court just on like a lunch break it was during the i believe that was when

18:47it was the bond we were waiting to find out if diddy was going to receive a bond and it we waited for hours and i went to a local restaurant and saw them at the restaurant as well too so you know she held the family down but she had posted on instagram that she said we just bought our first home and just posted a photo of the house right no address no anything listed in this in this post that she put up but still and i don't know if you know because that post was so long ago so i'm not trying to connect it to there but i do remember that happening um and i don't even know if the people who attempted to break in knew whose home they were attempting to break in again porter ranch especially in certain areas it's it you know the people that live out there have a certain type of like you know living style luxury money all those things so i don't know if anything is connected um from one thing to the other because there was there's a big gap of time in between but that's just scary though that and and i always think about that like you

19:50know i'm a i like to share a lot i like to be very vulnerable i love to talk about my family and all of that but uh between this and you know Savannah got three coming out and and talking about you know everything with her mom and feeling like it was her fault i think so much more now about posting my family and you know and sometimes you're in the moment and you're happy you're excited and you talk about these moments um and it just doesn't connect about you know what could come after but again i don't know if any of this is connected i'm making the connection because i only remember they even lived together because of her instagram post um but yeah so police responded uh that i know of as of now no one has been taken into custody um but police are investigating so yeah and i was back on august of 2024 that she posted that that post about you know them moving into their first house house together so that's been some years now so not i don't i don't i doubt that that even connects there but we'll find out we'll reach out we'll we'll
