This is an IHeart podcast.

Native Land Pod is a production of IHeart Radio in partnership with Reason Choice Media.

Hey everybody, this is a very, very special day. I get to share solo pod time with my dear sister friend Tiffany Cross. We are

here, y'all, to talk about black

beef in these internet streets.

We were supposed to be joined by

Van Lathen, who could no longer make it.

But we had such a good conversation

yesterday, too. The conversation

You were mad at me recently, speaking of internet beef. And I'm going to let you tell it.

But because you thought I was wasting my time on said internet beef. And so I want to get into that. And then hopefully you'll be with me, you'll be down with me to do some type of a pledge and ask our people to come join us. I don't know. We'll see what the pledge is. Oh, come on. I'll tell the folks why I wasn't mad at Angela. I was disappointed. Anoyed. I was annoyed. Irritated. It definitely irritated. Frustrated.

Frustrated. Yes. Thank you. You just put words to my feelings because I am at home in my bed, sadly on screen

times, scrolling through Instagram. And I don't want to give this person too much attention or credit,

but a very dark-spirited person

who I've never heard of, never seen, never popped up in my timeline at all.

And she was just saying all these very degrading things about Angela, not over some personal
