#The12HubPodcast

Episode 23 is a packed one! We're joined by 9 to 5'er Podcast for a wild ride through the latest in culture, hip-hop, and sports.

We kick things off by breaking down Drake's new record and his place in the rap game after the monumental beef with Kendrick Lamar. Then, we dive into the controversy surrounding Carnival Cruise's new rules—are they just enforcing order, or is there a racial component to banning wobble lines and hip-hop nights?

The conversation takes a turn as we discuss the dark side of the entertainment industry, from Trump's claims about Jeffrey Epstein to the endless drama and conspiracy theories surrounding the Diddy allegations. Plus, we get into Nicki Minaj's explosive beef with Jay-Z and Roc Nation.

Finally, the main event: a fiery, no-holds-barred debate on the WNBA's new era, headlined by Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark, which spirals into an all-out war over the ultimate G.O.A.T. title: Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James. You don't want to miss these unfiltered takes!
