In this episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast, the team delves into the escalating feud between former allies Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The conflict ignited when Musk publicly criticized Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill," labeling it a "disgusting abomination" due to its potential to increase the national deficit and cut electric vehicle subsidies. Trump retaliated by threatening to revoke federal contracts with Musk's companies and dismissed Musk as having "lost his mind." This public spat has caused divisions within Silicon Valley and raised questions about the future of their political alliance.

The podcast also highlights a heartwarming story from the entertainment world: Rumi Carter, the seven-year-old daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, has made her stage debut on the Cowboy Carter Tour. According to her grandmother, Tina Knowles, Rumi persistently asked to join her mother and sister, Blue Ivy, on stage, showcasing her eagerness to perform. On a more contentious note, the show discusses the ongoing custody battle between rapper DDG and singer Halle Bailey.

In this episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show, Newark, NJ Mayor Ras Baraka is taking legal action against one of Donald Trump’s top attorneys after being arrested while trying to inspect an ICE facility in his city. The arrest, which Baraka and his legal team call unlawful and politically motivated, has reignited conversations around immigration, oversight, and abuse of power. Meanwhile, hip-hop star Offset sparked headlines after deleting his social media accounts in response to public backlash over his son’s new hairstyle—allegedly mimicking Cardi B’s rumored boyfriend, Stefon Diggs. Offset was reportedly furious about the resemblance and chose to go offline after expressing his frustration.

Also in the mix, Kanye West is once again reflecting publicly—this time on his fractured friendship with Jay-Z. In a since-deleted tweet, Ye confessed he dreams about apologizing to his former mentor, suggesting he may be open to reconciliation after years of tension and controversial behavior. And finally, in a move that could impact the U.S. auto and manufacturing industries, former President Donald Trump has signed an executive order doubling tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from 25% to 50%. The move has drawn sharp criticism from economists and automakers alike for its potential to raise consumer prices and disrupt supply chains.
