In today’s episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast, we kick things off with Grammy-winning R&B duo Brandy and Monica, who reveal their 1998 hit “The Boy Is Mine” was inspired by a dramatic episode of The Jerry Springer Show. The legendary song, which topped the Billboard charts for 13 weeks, was intentionally crafted to spark rumors, and the duo are now reuniting both on tour and in the studio.

Then, Michelle Obama speaks out to quell divorce speculation, attributing their privacy to their age “we’re 60, y’all” and emphasizing that if any serious marital issue existed, she’d address it publicly. Finally, on a tech-forward note, Howard University and Google launch Project Elevate Black Voices, sharing 600+ hours of African-American English dialect data to improve AI speech recognition—which has long struggled with Black speech patterns.
