He Said He Said

Taylor Swift may have come one step closer to making Ray & Jay (casual) fans with her recent politically charged IG post, Kanye goes dark on social but still manages to wallow in controversy and Kavanaugh's appointment to the SCOTUS proves privilege is a blind spot many in this country cannot overcome. All this AND a farewell to KUWTC with the end to OTRII in this week's fresh episode!

"Ye" the artist formerly known as Kanye West attempts to explain why racism is not a good enough reason for resistance in the Donald Trump era, Ariana Grande and Lindsey Lohan both have a pretty rough week and Trump attempts to turn the #metoo movement on its head without any evidence to support his position, as usual. Ray & Jay just could not resist weighing in on these topics and more on what was planned to be an off-week. You know what they say, "there's no rest for the shady..."

Steve Harvey's talk show is reportedly replaced by a new effort from singer Kelly Clarkson, Eminem and MGK engage in White on White crime that may actually be more suspect than you think and Kanye goes on a suspiciously timed IG rant that causes Ray & Jay to call bullsh*t. Join us as we roast celebs (and each other) in this week's episode.

Ray & Jay are back with a new episode after a week off in NYC. Katt Williams manages to turn an Emmy win into diatribes against not one but two women, Marc Jacobs shades Rihanna with a late start to his latest NYFW show and Nike shows us what corporate activism looks like in 2018. Find out what your friends think about these hot topics and more as they get right back into a groove!

Get to know your friends Ray & Jay a little better in this week's very special episode as they run through a list of rapid fire questions answered in their usual style. No rebuttals please! Enjoy this little morsel and come back hungry for a full episode next week. Talk to you soon!

Queen Aretha leaves an $80mil fortune sans will while "Queen" Nicki is forced to postpone her tour due to anemic ticket sales and the current POTUS proves once again that he deserves zero respect after the passing of Sen. John McCain. Find out what Ray & Jay think about these topics and more in this week's episode.

This week's episode is more unhinged that Omarosa's book as Ray & Jay welcome Black In The City pod (for the first time) and of course "the brown" (not for the first time). Find out what this motley crew thinks of the 2018 VMA's, Paris unveiling sidewalk urinals and who should hold court at Queen Aretha's tributes over the next year.

Kanye proves that his cancellation was warranted as he visits Jimmy Kimmel Live and later releases problematic track "XTCY", Omarosa engages the current administration in a race to the bottom in the current D.C. news cycle armed with recordings that prove she should never have gone to work in the WH in the first place and Michael Brown's mother shows us it's not where you start but where you finish as she runs for Ferguson, Missouri city council.

The green-eyed monster takes center stage this week as Azealia Banks takes unnecessary potshots at Queen Bey, 45's itchy Twitter fingers strike again in a racist rant that reveals more about him than it does about the targets of his ire and Travis Scott (or Kanye maybe...) removes the legendary Amanda Lepore from the cover of Astroland due to less than clear motives. Some of this tea is too hot to handle, but don't worry we've sampled it for you so we know it's good!

Join the discussion this week as Monique squanders her already waning credibility defending Roseanne, Cardi B pulls out of Bruno Mars 24k Magic tour weeks just ahead of it's relaunch and Ray & Jay have a heated exchange when one compares Gwenyth Paltrow to Martha Stewart.

If you have questions too, hopefully we can provide some answers and all of the opinions!

He Said He Said is expanded to He Said He Said She Said this week as Ray & Jay welcome their first guest Maegan to join in on the shenanigans.
