This week on Olay & Friends, we get into the wave of Black celebrities — including Nelly and Snoop Dogg — choosing to perform for Donald Trump. We break down why these moments feel like a slap in the face politically, how celebrity selfishness gets dressed up as “unity,” and why some stars always seem ready to cozy up to power no matter the harm.

This week on Olay & Friends, we talk about Drake reportedly suing over “Not Like Us” — and how taking legal action only made the L so much worse.

This week on Olay & Friends, we get into the discourse around Luigi Mangione and whether the overwhelming support he’s been getting online reflects genuine class solidarity or if people are just projecting their own frustrations onto the moment. We unpack why he resonated so quickly, what his story represents for working-class folks, and how social media turns everyday people into symbols for bigger political conversations.
