My heart is filled with joy for Nicki Minaj because finally, she can be the openly bigoted woman she’s clearly been this whole time. No more dog whistles. No more plausible deniability. Just loud, proud, mask-off behavior and a fanbase still pretending this is shocking.

This is the very first episode of my brand-new segment, On the Phone with Solomon Ray — a more raw, live, unfiltered version of The Solomon Ray Podcast where I hit record straight from my phone and just… talk. No studio. No mic setup. Just real life.In this debut episode, we get into the Selena documentary on Netflix, the Juan Gabriel documentary, and the Diddy documentary — and everything those stirred up. I also talk about why I didn’t show up to my uncle’s funeral, navigating being overstimulated, and the chaos of raising a toddler. Plus, an incident at Sky’s school that had me all the way stressed.It’s chaotic, honest, and very “on the phone with me.” For all things Solomon Ray, https://linktr.ee/solomonraymusic Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/solomonraymusicTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/solomonraymusicTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@solomonraymusic SnapChat: https://www.snapchat.com/add/solomonraymusic  Write into the show: ask@thesolomonraypodcast.com Order my cookbook: www.solomonraycookbook.com Shop: www.solraybeauty.com & www.babymamabrand.com

We’re dragging the idiots trying to compare Charlie Kirk to Martin Luther King Jr., I share why I could not care less about Cardi B’s new album, and why I am perched and ready for the return of Mariah Carey.Also, I casually order snacks while “on the phone” with y’all because I forget this is a podcast sometimes.

This week’s episode is pure chaos and petty perfection. I’m confessing how I unleashed a little psychological warfare (aka bullied someone online—and loved it), answering two juicy Listener Letters (one about an ex-girlfriend moving into the same apartment building and another about having kids in your late 30s), plus I’m deep in the madness of planning Sky’s 1st birthday.You already know… we’re getting into it all.

After a two-month break, I’m back—and y’all know I had to start with the Diddy trial. This week, I’m breaking down the headlines, the charges, and giving my insight on what I think actually went down during those infamous “freak offs.” I unpack the sex trafficking claims, and while I don’t excuse anything he did, I’m still trying to understand how it all ties into racketeering and RICO charges. As always, I’m not here to echo the crowd—I’m here to give perspective.I also get into how I filed a report that got Sky’s school investigated by the State of California (and I meant every word), rehoming Billie and Ryann (yes, they’re gone), one Listener Letter, and of course—Things I Have Beef With is back.Let’s get into it.
