#RHOP Season 9 Exclusive: Mia Thornton Talks Her Rekindled Romance With Inc. & Karen’s ‘Pole Humper’ Hijinks–‘She’s So Bothered’

Ahead of tonight’s #RHOP premiere, Mia Thornton is dishing on her rekindled romance and taking time to clap back at Karen Huger for calling her a “dilapidated pole humper.”

“She’s so bothered,” said Mia to BOSSIP. “She wants everybody to get in formation and follow her lead, and she’s not Beyoncé, okay?”

After last season’s eye-opening ending, Mia Thornton is stepping into The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 9 with a sense of peace and positivity.

As previously reported Mia was more vulnerable than ever before last season after revealing her separation from Gordon Thornton and then revealing her rekindled romance with her high school sweetheart, Inc.

Gordon confirmed that he gave the Bravolebrity permission to be with other men to “satisfy” her needs amid a prostate cancer diagnosis but accused her of keeping secrets. Things then reached a fever pitch during last season’s finale when Gordon was seen laying into Mia about her new relationship before revealing his bipolar disorder diagnosis at the #RHOP reunion.

Now things have settled and Mia told BOSSIP that things remain challenging, especially with young children involved.

“I never wanted to go through a public divorce. I wasn’t going to do the back-and-forth via social media because the children have to relive it,” Mia told Managing Editor Dani Canada.

She also emphasized that she’s determined to keep Gordon in a positive light for their kids, particularly their daughter, saying, “She deserves her dad to be like a superhero.”

Despite the challenges of separation, Mia told BOSSIP that her love life is in a positive place amid her rekindled romance with Inc. whom Mia said in a #RHOP preview Gordon “leaned on.”

Describing him as someone who truly knows her core, Mia said that’s refreshing to be with Inc., who’s someone who sees her for who she is after their initial breakup due to career pursuits.

“He’s everything I need right now,” she told BOSSIP. “When you have so much coming at you or scrutiny or accusations or questions, it’s nice to be with someone that’s like, ‘No, I know your core, this is who you are’ and it’s just really refreshing to be with someone who’s so positive.

At a young age, I can’t fault you for going after your dreams… but now we have resources where I actually can follow him around the globe. I also got to find my own path. And that’s the reason why we separated, so we’re back.”

Hit the flip for more Mia, including her thoughts on #RHOP’s new additions and the absence of Candiace Dillard Bassett and Robyn Dixon.

Beyoncé is still celebrating her new American Whisky brand, SirDavis, and this time she took it to the race track.

Our Queen was joined by her hubby Jay-Z, superstar Cher, actress Sharon Stone and our man, our man, our man Damson Idris at the first-ever California Crown. The event was a who’s who of talent, influence and wealth as people took in horse races while sipping on custom SirDavis cocktails. The brand also sponsored a VIP speakeasy experience for invited guests.

The event also included a little promotion of Bey’s other side hustle, Cecred. Attendees spotted bottles of the brand’s new hair growth drops distributed throughout the event. Some of the horses in the race also wore bibs with the brand’s logo emblazoned on them, Rolling Stone reports.

More than 21,000 attendees were also entertained with live performances from country music’s breakout star Shaboozey and rapper Lil Yacthy. Of course, Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter could be heard booming through the speakers during the race. The races racked up an estimated $20 million in wagers.

Bey is very clearly in her businesswoman era with her ventures into haircare and the whiskey business. She’s been hard at work bringing the smooth taste of SirDavis to people around the globe. Most recently, the brand hosted a group of influencers during Janet Jackson‘s Together Again tour stop in Paris.

With the summer coming to an end, it’ll be interesting to see how the Beyhive transitions SirDavis‘ signature cocktails— Honey Bee, Texas Buckin’, The Houston, Blackberry Mint Julep and Brown Derby—to cooler temperatures. We sense an old-fashioned and a hot toddy in our future.

Though there were conflicting opinions about the cost of SirDavis at $89.99 per bottle, the units seem to be moving just fine as social media has been flooded with taste test videos and reviews. The Queen is always going to get her coin!

Donald Glover revealed that he has canceled the US, Europe and UK legs of his New World Tour amid a health scare.

After canceling his August 24 show in Arizona due to technical issues, Glover later also canceled his Sept 8. show in Houston for medical reasons. The day after, he took to X, formerly Twitter, to reveal that the North American dates tour would be postponed.

“hey everyone. unfortunately i have to postpone the rest of the north american tour to focus on my physical health for a few weeks. hold onto your tickets,” he said. “ALL tickets will be honored for the upcoming dates in north america when they are rescheduled. thanks for the privacy. thanks for the support. thanks for the love.”

On Oct. 4, the “3004” rapper revealed that he would be canceling his tour entirely due to a health issue he discovered after his New Orleans show.

“After my show in New Orleans, I went to the hospital in Houston to make sure of an ailment that had become apparent,” he explained. “After being assesed, it became clear i would not perform that night, and after more tests, i could not perform the rest of the US tour in the time asked. As of now I have surgery scheduled and need time out to heal.”

My path to recovery is something I need to confront seriously. With that said, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of the North American tour and the UK and European dates. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.

Though he did offer information on what caused the cancellation, he did ask fans for “love, privacy, and support.”

Fans of Glover and his rap identity Childish Gambino were elated to see him return to music after dominating the small screen with his award-winning show Atlanta.

Rockstar Rih Rih Rocks $2500 Boxers For A$AP Rocky’s 36th Birthday

Rihanna always knows how to make a bold fashion statement, and the looks she popped out with to celebrate A$AP Rocky‘s 36th birthday proved it.

The stylish duo took to the streets of New York to celebrate the “Fashion Killa” rapper’s big day. The Barbadian billionaire bombshell stepped out in a black cocktail dress, a mink bomber jacket and Dolce and Gabbana sunnies. The birthday boy opted for a chic, all-gray Bottega Veneta suit with a complimentary overcoat.

Earlier in the evening, Rihanna pulled off another look to remind us all that she is very, very rich. The Anti singer donned a floor-length Bottega Veneta coat, a $2500 pair of leather boxer briefs from the brand and their $5200 medium sardine bag. If you want to call us broke, just say that Rih!

The pair seem to be building quite a relationship with Bottega. Rocky starred in the brand’s Fathers Day campaign and Rihanna showed up to take in their newest collection this year.

It’s nice to see the two of them out for a date night. Between raising their toddler sons—RZA, 2 and Riot, 1—and building their respective empires, the posh pair stay booked and busy. On Sept. 27, Mama Rih shared a video of RZA escaping his playpen with the caption, “Being a boy mom is an Olympic sport.” She has been relatively quiet outside of a few appearances during NYFW.

Though Rihanna fans continue begging for more music, it seems that her rapping beau plans to bless his supporters soon. After announcing that he will release a new album, Rocky released a new track with J. Cole.

The four-minute track titled “Ruby Rosary” scratched the itch for his fans who have been waiting for new music from the Harlem-born lyricist since 2018. His new album, Don’t Be Dumb, has been delayed but is still slated for a 2024 release.

Method Man Talks Depression, Healing & Writing His Memoir In Candid Conversation With Fat Joe On New Starz Show

We all see Method Man takes care of his physical health, but he recently opened up about his mental health and struggles with depression on Fat Joe Talks: “It never really goes away,” he said.

Fat Joe, the hip-hop legend, has expanded his talents beyond music with his new talk show, Fat Joe Talks, which premiered recently on Starz. Airing every Friday, the show promises to deliver unfiltered conversations with some of the most influential names in entertainment.

Related Stories

For the first episode, Joe invited another icon, Method Man, to sit down for a candid discussion. What followed was an intimate, emotional exchange that showcased the power of vulnerability and real talk.

The debut episode took place in a meaningful location—Method Man’s old stomping grounds of Staten Island. For Method Man, it was more than just a trip down memory lane; it became a space to open up about his ongoing struggle with mental health, specifically his bouts with depression.

The conversation began with the two reflecting on that gut feeling people get about keeping in touch with loved ones. From there, the discussion naturally turned more personal.

Method Man didn’t hold back. He revealed to Fat Joe that he has struggled with depression on and off throughout his life, referring to it as “certain s**t” that he still deals with. “It never really goes away,” he admitted, explaining that these feelings come in waves.

Method Man continued, sharing an emotional story about a heartfelt text message he had received from a friend. The message, while simple, had made a significant difference in his mood, reminding him of the importance of meaningful connections. “It made me feel better,” he confided, showcasing how small gestures can have a big impact, especially when someone is struggling.

“The point I’m trying to make is every now and then when you get a thought like, ‘Damn, I wonder what this person’s doing,’ act on it,” said Method Man. “Call them, see how they doing or find some way to get in contact with them. It never hurts. You have no idea how much that could mean to them.”

The emotional depth of the conversation didn’t stop there. Fat Joe, known for his ability to create a comfortable space for his guests, allowed the Wu-Tang Clan rapper to reveal more personal revelations. Method Man shared that he is working on a memoir about his life, giving Fat Joe and the audience an exclusive preview of what’s to come.

When asked what the potential title might be, Method Man offered a suggestion that reflected the emotional weight of his life experiences. “It might be, ‘Bring The Pain,’ because there’s a lot of that,”

This isn’t the first time Method Man has been transparent about his mental health. In August 2023, he gave a revealing interview with Men’s Health, where he admitted that it took him a long time to fully understand what he was going through mentally and emotionally. He acknowledged that being open about these struggles was a challenge but a necessary step toward healing.

More recently, in a September 2024 Rolling Stone interview, Method Man expanded on what healing looks like for him today.

“Being honest, taking care of my responsibilities, and being genuinely happy,” he explained. He spoke about how aging had changed his perspective, bringing a sense of contentment with life’s simple pleasures. “Who knew getting older would do that?” he said, adding, “I want to look at the sunset because I like sunsets, not because I’m trying to appease someone or follow some status quo.”

Fat Joe’s Fat Joe Talks is shaping up to be more than just a celebrity talk show. It’s becoming a platform for real, unfiltered conversations about life, struggle, and resilience. Method Man’s willingness to open up about his mental health struggles set the tone for what viewers can expect from the show—raw authenticity and deep connections.

Fat Joe Talks airs Fridays on Starz.

In season two, viewers will see the return of Chantel Vivian, a talented yet troubled fashion mogul (Tami Roman) whose personal and professional life spirals out of control.

With her marriage to Kane (Roderick Williams) hanging by a thread and her mental health teetering, Chantel’s empire is on the verge of collapse.

According to Williams however, that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

“This season, Chantel’s journey is much darker,” he told Managing Editor Dani Canada. “We’ll see her dealing with unresolved childhood traumas while trying to maintain her power in a world of deceit.”

He also added that when it comes to Kane his pursuit of redemption may come too late, but he’s willing to try.

“Kane is no saint, but we see him try to redeem himself in ways that may shock fans,” said Williams. “He’s still deeply flawed, but there’s a vulnerability we get to explore.”

As for actress Lyric C. Anderson who plays Tia, she told BOSSIP that her character is undergoing an evolution as well.

“In Season 2, Tia’s role grows more complex,” said Anderson who’s also Tami Roman’s biological daughter. “She’s no longer just a quiet observer—she shakes things up, challenging those who dismissed her. She’s kind of exploring more of her mental health and her background. This season, you’re going to actually get more backstory.”

Season 2 also showcases deeper character development, with the introduction of new players and unexpected alliances. According to Ella Joyce, it also showcases her character being more vicious than ever.

“My goodness, girl, Carolyn is so vicious,” said Ella Joyce. “She shocked me. It’s wonderful to play a character that you have to dig into some dark places for her. And I think they’re going to see some of Carol and there are going to be some ladies out there who are going to relate to her.”

And while Carolyn might be brutal in season two, Erica Peeples told BOSSIP that Jalen will continue to be Chantel Vivian’s fixer.

“Jalen has always been the Fixer, season one and in season two, you get to see a little bit more of Jaylin’s vulnerable side. She opens up, and you’ll see her personal side open up a little more. Slowly but surely, she lets those layers down. ‘Cause before Jaylin’s always been all business, you don’t know what’s going on with her family, you kind of got a glimpse of who my husband was for a second.”

She continued,

“But this season, I’m going through a divorce and I meet a little special person. I don’t want to give away too much, but you get to see a little more Jalen’s arc in season two, which is exciting.”

Overall, the Haus of Vicious season two cast couldn’t stop gushing to BOSSIP about their amazing experience bringing Chantel Vivian’s chaotic world to BET+

“It’s gonna sound really cliché, but I just feel like every time I’m around everybody, I can tell we all want each other to do well,” said Lyric Anderson. “There’s a really great attitude coming from everyone on the cast, and it’s really warm and positive. I love running lines with people blocking scenes, and how everybody’s so open to collaborating. Anytime I needed to run lines, everybody was so open to that.”

Roderick Williams agreed.

“It’s honestly one of the best sets that I’ve worked on. I’ve always said that whatever job you have, what makes a job good or bad is based on the people that you work with and this is just such a great cast,” said Williams. “It’s interesting because it’s such a huge ensemble including the director, the production, all of the actors, and everyone there is just so receptive to helping others and just making sure that everyone’s game is elevated. It just has a really warm feel to the set. It’s great to work with everyone.”

The couples face parole restrictions including travel limitations, consorting with previously incarcerated individuals, combined with the temptations of alcohol and drugs. Meanwhile, couples who have stayed together grapple with the growing pains of love, family and marriage while navigating the emotional hurdles of trying to earn a living with a criminal record. Can they stay together and build a life outside of prison?”

In the clip below, Justine tells Michael that she wants to prioritize the life of their newborn baby over her own in case anything goes wrong in the delivery room.

Watch the clip:

That was tough to watch. There’s a maternal health crisis going on in this country and Justine seems well aware of it. Michael doesn’t want to have this conversation but it’s really vital that they do.

Here’s more about the couples featured on Life After Lockup this season:

Bianca & Daniel (Scottsdale, AZ)

After Daniel’s family leaves Arizona, the couple is forced to start this new chapter together without any family or friends around. Arguments begin to arise when their new life is not at all what Bianca was expecting when she picked up everything and moved to Arizona to be with him. She still doesn’t have a ring on her finger, their sex life is underwhelming, and Daniel won’t even make her a cup of coffee! With only a few months left on the lease of their apartment, will this young couple be able to work through their issues, or will they decide to go their separate ways?

Zeruiah & Troy (Syracuse, NY)

Now that Troy is home, Zeruiah is determined to loop him into all their business affairs. Troy is introduced to Project HEAL, their non-profit organization that aims to provide support to the formerly incarcerated. But Zeruiah is keeping a secret about their business.

Kimberly & Joey (Eden, NC)

Following Joey’s recent release from prison, Kim and Joey have been adjusting to life together in the free world. Joey is stepping up as a stepfather to Kim’s boys, and Kim is over the moon about having her fiancé home. As Joey spends more time with Kim’s son, Kasen, he starts to suspect that Kasen may be his biological son. But Kim is worried that the results of a DNA test could affect the boys and change everything.

Tennie & Robert (Yukon, OK)

As Rob and Tennie navigate their new life together, Rob’s mom, Kate, becomes a major wedge in their marriage. Kate believes Rob has left her behind to take care of Tennie and her children. Tennie & Kate come to blows at his Welcome Home party, and Rob feels torn between his wife and mother. Rob begins to dream about having a baby of their own. Tennie had to raise two children as a single mother and is not sure she wants to risk going through that again. Can they move past Rob’s mama drama, and will the couple come to a compromise on if they are prepared to bring a new child into the world?

Melissa & Louie (Atlantic Highlands, NJ)

Louie is 18 months out and Melissa is ready to take the next steps and get engaged! Melissa’s focus is pressuring Louie for a 2-carat diamond ring, but Louie’s mom, Donna, thinks he’s moving too fast. Louie is working multiple jobs to scrounge up the money to make Melissa’s dreams come true…will they find their happily ever after?

Britney & Kerok (Richmond, VA)

When we last saw Bri and Kerok, they were engaged and living their best life in Virginia. During this season of Life After Lockup, Bri and Kerok are looking to make some changes, the biggest being moving to Texas! And they’re not going alone – Kerok’s mom, Tammy, is along for the ride. As they gear up for the big move, they get a shocking call that changes everything!

Justine & Michael (Las Vegas, NV)

Justine and Michael finally moved from Pennsylvania to Las Vegas with their big, blended family and newborn, Manhattan Barbie. However, Manhattan isn’t going to be the newest addition for long because Justine and Michael are pregnant with child number NINE!

According to their joint photo carousel, baby Austin came into the world on Sept. 4, weighing 8 lbs., 5 oz, and measuring 22 inches long.

“Mommy, Daddy, your brothers and sister love you so much! 🥰,” the proud parents gushed in the caption.

The heartwarming slideshow featured Barnes and Sims cradling their newborn, Austin, just moments after his delivery. In one close-up, the adorable baby was seen peacefully sleeping, wrapped snugly in a blue blanket. The new parents were also captured sharing a kiss while Sims held their precious little boy.

Dr. Wendy Osefo Details Filming #RHOP Season 9 Without Her Confidante Candiace & A Possible Gizelle Reconciliation–‘It Takes Time’ [Exclusive]

The professor is here and she’s weighing in on a brand new season of #RHOP that might feature fresh faces but is missing a close confidante of the four-degreed dynamo.

Dr. Wendy Osefo will be “letting loose like never before” when The Real Housewives of Potomac returns for season 9 on Sunday, October 6 at 8/7c on Bravo, and she’s excited for fans to see her fully embracing her liberation.

“This season I went into it facing a new chapter in my life,” Dr. Wendy told BOSSIP’s Managing Editor Dani Canada. “I joined the 40 club… and I was like, I’m going to be liberated in my thought process. I’m going to be happy, I’m going to be all the things, and I’m not going to let anything get in my way.”

Part of those new beginnings include her living more authentically after previously trying to ensure her actions aligned with the approval of her mother, Iyom Susan Okuzu.

“I think for so long, I’ve always been very mindful of the approval of my mom and having that hover over me,” said the housewife. “And I feel like this season and just this year of my life, and this season of my life. I have just been like, ‘No’, you are here to define your own happiness. You are there to make yourself happy and you can’t live for others. And thinking about life in that way really changed the way I approach things and allowed me to let my hair down. I have just enjoyed being me.”

Part of Dr. Wendy’s dedication to authenticity includes her supporting her husband Eddie Osefo’s “Happy Eddie” cannabis brand. As previously broken by BOSSIP, Curio Wellness partnered with the attorney for his “Happy Eddie” cannabis line in Maryland.

The line features prerolls, flower, tinctures, and edibles, and apparently, a “Holy Ghost Fire” strain named after a phrase Wendy’s mom previously used in a Mia Thornton dispute.

“So my mom is like, – “Hold on now, that’s my saying, I say holy ghost fire!’” laughed Wendy. “At the end of the day, I think my mom’s main goal is just for her children to be happy. She never knew that her child’s husband would find happiness in a cannabis brand, but I think she has learned to deal with it and she’s looking at the bigger picture.”

Dr. Wendy Osefo Talks #RHOP Newcomers & Candiace Dillard Bassett’s Departure

This season of #RHOP will see the introduction of new cast members, including Stacey Rusch and Jassi Rideaux, along with the return of Keiarna Stewart who’s now a full-time flute holder.

Wendy is excited about the newcomers, calling them “fun, fresh, and different” and she’s thrilled for viewers to see how these fresh faces add to the dynamic energy of the group.

What she’s not so thrilled about however is filming without her close friend Candiace Dillard Bassett, who took maternity leave.

As previously reported Candiace confirmed that she would not be returning for season 9 and shortly thereafter announced her pregnancy. She later admitted that the impending birth of her child, a baby boy, was 95% of the reason why she departed.

“I walked into that first scene, and there’s so many different dynamics going on and I was like, wait, this is a whole new situation right here,” she admitted to BOSSIP. “And  I think you guys as viewers will pick up on that the first time you see everyone on the cast together” 

But despite missing her friend, Wendy is fully supportive of Candice’s journey into motherhood, knowing firsthand how quickly time flies with children.

“I wish Candiace well, motherhood is my favorite journey in life, and outside of everything I have done, it is absolutely one that I put on top of the rest,” said Wendy who also declined cooment on Robyn Dixon’s departure.

“So for her, I just want her to enjoy it and revel in those moments because if you see my kids that were on the show when I started they are completely grown-up now and that time flies, so enjoy those moments.”

In the #RHOP season 9 trailer Wendy and her sorority sister Gizelle are seen seemingly making amends after years of tension especially after “Zen Wen” eviscerated her with that “God’s payback” pummeling in 2021.

[embedded content]

In her recent chat with BOSSIP, Wendy said that while forgiveness doesn’t come easy, it’s all about accountability and honest conversations.

“It takes tough conversations, but once I say my peace, then I wash my hands of it,” said Wendy about the situation. “And however you carry yourself and proceed, then that’s on you. I do not let other people’s issues become my trauma and because of that, I do believe in accountability and conversations.”

Still, she (and the other housewives) are well aware that if they get out of pocket, they’ll get an earful from the political commentator who’s one of the very few readers on the Bravo show.

“That’s a they problem, not a me problem,” Wendy told BOSSIP. “Because as long as you stay on my good side, you will not necessarily have to feel the wrath or vocabulary of Dr. Wendy Osefo. So I am very reserved. I do not pull out my reading glasses unless I really have to. I like to keep them in my pocket and in my case. So I will just say I keep that in my holster. and will definitely take it out, unfold the hands of the glasses, and put them on.”

Will YOU be watching #RHOP season 9 when it returns for its ninth season with a supersized premiere on Sunday, October 6 at 8/7c on Bravo?

Cardi B Denies Offset Reconciliation Rumors, Responds To NFL Player Cheating Allegations

Bossip Video

Despite going through a difficult divorce, Cardi B isn’t thinking of calling off her split from Offset anytime soon.

It’s no secret that this year isn’t the first time Cardi has filed for divorce from the Migos rapper, and it definitely isn’t the first time the pair have called it quits. But still, the former Love & Hip Hop star insists that this time, their break up is final.

Related Stories

She made the declaration during an X Spaces on Thursday, Oct. 3, where she admitted that going through the split was difficult—but not difficult enough to call it off.

“Slowly but surely, everybody gotta go their separate ways,” she said during the broadcast. “My kids gotta get used to, ‘No, you’re not going to come home every single day and your dad is gonna be here.’ It’s kinda hard. I don’t wanna talk about it ’cause I don’t wanna get emotional but it’s kinda hard.”

Cardi continued, “As an adult, you gonna get used to a certain type of lifestyle without being with somebody but it’s also kinda hard for your kids to get used to that. Your dad is not going to be here with you every day after school. Your dad is not going to be picking you up after school.”

The rapper went on to say that she wants Offset to remain in their kids’ lives despite their marriage coming to an end.

“I want my baby to know who their dad is because I don’t ever want my little baby to get used to my dad or my cousin,” she said. “I want them to be like, ‘This is my dad.’”

https://twitter.com/fearedbuck/status/1841567078840459514?s=46&t=nxgzyNIoowQHL174NvNxNw

After admitting to “talking to other men” while pregnant with Offset’s child, Cardi also seemingly responded to cheating allegations about her and an NFL player made by Akademiks.

The controversial media personality was live streaming on his Rumble channel, when he claimed that Offset caught his estranged wife with an unnamed wide receiver.

Cardi appeared to respond to Akademiks with a clip of Whitney Houston’s interview with Diane Sawyer where she says: “But do you know? Do you really know?”

Soooo…no real clarity on that front. But, regardless, it looks like her and Offset are officially over.

In recent years, Fat Joe has broadened his work to include everything from podcast host to author to healthcare price transparency reform advocate, proving he is more than a musician, he’s a culture staple who loves talking to people from all walks of life, and they love talking to him. Get an exclusive first look at the show’s opening sequence which features an original theme song by Fat Joe himself!

We also had the exclusive opportunity to sit down with him as he shared his thoughts on the new season and what makes this show so special.

During an interview with BOSSIP’s Liz Smith, Fat Joe revealed that he’s extremely grateful for the opportunity as hosting a talk show has been a lifelong dream.

“I’m feeling very very happy that STARZ gave me an opportunity to have my own talk show. It’s something I dreamed of as a kid in elementary school in the Bronx,” said Joe.

“So when I use to be in those talent shows I always dreamed big you know so that fact that your dream came true, you’re in Hollywood, you’re on people’s TV it’s an amazing thing.”

With Fat Joe welcoming new guests each week, it was only fitting that his first guest was none other than Method Man on his home turf in Staten Island, along with a surprise appearance by the legendary Buju Banton.

According to Joe, their individual stories are just the tip of the iceberg on the show.

“This show is all about turning a negative to a positive. You’re going to learn from your favorite icons and be like a fly on the wall and hear stories that you never heard before. Stories about starting from the mud and how we came up out of there. With each and every guest it’s a different lens and I’m coming from a different view but it’s always inspirational and uplifting the culture.”

So what are Fat Joe’s goals and ambitions for this season? He told BOSSIP that it’s to feature guests from all walks of life.

“I’m very very optimistic and I’m always a dreamer so I’m hoping after the first season, people we don’t even think of are going to come on the show and be like alright this is a safe space, I can be vulnerable and cool and at the same time have a desire to do the show. So it might be a Tom Brady or someone we would never think of in history to do it come through and do it!”

Fat Joe will not only bring entertainment and exclusive conversations, but he’ll also inspire and motivate viewers to pursue their dreams and aspirations.

Be sure to tune in tonight on STARZ at 10:00 PM ET/PT to Fat Joe Talks with new episodes dropping every Friday.
