About this episode

A heartbreaking story leads today’s show as a Virginia mother searches for answers after her 9-year-old son died on his first day at a summer swim camp, where he was later confirmed to have drowned after being found unresponsive in the pool during a session meant to teach kids how to swim. The tragedy has reignited conversations about water safety, supervision, and disparities in swim access, especially in Black communities. Meanwhile, comedian Faizon Love is making headlines after being arrested on contempt-of-court charges tied to a child support case, with reports indicating he owes around $250,000 and was taken into custody following missed payments and court issues. 

On the lighter side of celebrity news, Beyoncé shared a touching story about Jay‑Z’s hair journey, revealing he originally grew his locs to help their daughter Blue Ivy feel confident in her natural curls, and later switched to an afro to honor his late father. And in a candid update, Lil Nas X opened up about his mental health, confirming he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder after spending time in rehab and says he’s now doing much better with therapy and support as he focuses on healing and creating again.
