It's Lauren the Rosa, and this is the latest with Lauren the Rosa. This is your daily dig on all things, pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room, baby. All right, y'all. So, we are checking in behind the scenes of the grind. Back on the grind. Today, I am feeling in control.

And when I say in control, I don't just mean, like, you know, like normal girl boss. Scorpio, Sagittarius vibes. got to be in control of everything. But y'all ever started out your day? Just like moving so fast. So today I was running late to work, rushing to get there on time. I don't like starting anytime I have to be somewhere or do something early morning. Or just in general, I don't like being late because then everything else that comes after your arrival feels rushed.

But I've started this practice where when I am feeling rushed in the morning, because for me, I feel like when I do feel rushed, it spills over into my. performance. I begin refocusing my day. And this past Sunday, I was watching my church service. Shout out some seeds of greatness in Delaware. And I was watching them on YouTube, Pastor Jerome Lewis. And he was

talking just about just kind of like when you have like your faith walk and different attacks and different things come your way because you're destined to do something great. Or, you know, there's this like calling or conversation on your life and on your talent um just how important being wrapped up in the faith

and wrapped up in praise and worship uh are and how what you have conversations about and like your mental just how you think how all of that is so along with prayer and knowing how to talk and praise and worship right so this morning i was y'all was having one of them like oh rush run jump through hoops get there on time like woke up so late just exhausted from the travel day and I was like I'm going to take back my day today like right out

like in the moment I like stopped and I'm like nope we're not doing this I put on some praise and worship I begin just thinking God and I do and I try to make that a habit every day I wake up especially weekdays when I'm about to head until work just because the days seem to just move so fast

I try and thank God for waking me up thank God for waking up you know my family to people I love you know all that stuff just have a conversation with him before i pick up my phone and get into the latest um but today i was like mid like not even i wasn't starting my day the day was already started and i was like nope i got to quiet everything around me right now and i just need to worship like real quick so i put on um i have a playlist that i use um i just played around the house sundays whatever day i need some um praise and worship and i went to the playlist it's called God is good.

If you search Bronco grinding God is good on Apple Music, you'll find the playlist. It's also listed in the bio on my Instagram, Lauren La Rosa, L-O-R-E-N-L-O-R-O-S-A. But I put on Travis Green made-away. And that was just honestly the first song on the playlist. I didn't like think of that song and go play it. First song on the playlist, I just hit play. Let the song go, calmed my day down, calmed myself down, and just, regain power and control back of my day and had a great day.

And it was so powerful for me and so profound for me because what I've realized in this phase of my life, I was watching this interview with Portia Williams and Angie Martinez on Angie Martinez's in real life. And she asked Portia Williams, what season of your life is this? And not like season, like winter, spring, fall, like whatever. But, you know, Porsche is, at this point, she is a, uh, uh, a reality TV show vet. She's been on reality TV for at least 12 years now. So she's like, you know, you have all these different seasons of rural hospitals of Atlanta

that you've been a star on. But in your life, what is your season right now? And in this, and she says for her, this season is like very direct. She does what she wants to do. She doesn't do what she doesn't want to do. She's very honest about things that she expects the same. For me, today. after getting through because the morning was a little, you know, the, ooh, the things was coming, right?

But after regaining my power back, this season for me is a season of, I was going to say, but God, because it is that. It's so but God. It's like you could just, ugh. Like, I just wake up every day and I'm like, God be doing it. He literally performing miracles in real time in my life, in a life of people that I love. love. But also, I think that this season is a season of reclaiming in a season of prophesizing. And I don't mean that I could speak tongues and all of that. I don't know how to do

all that. But I remember almost like a year or so ago now when I was able to go into church physically in person more because I was living in Delaware. My pastor, Pastor Jerome Lewis, you know and I had been guest hosting with the breakfast club they knew what I was working on and what I was doing he was very intentional about praying over me and when he prayed over me I remember one of the times he did he said God I want to protect her mind I want you to hold her mind in your hand I want you to walk with her mind protect her mind rehabilitate and reestablish her mind whenever she may need it and things weren't like you know it was like that was like the beginning of all of this like this but god air right so things were new then um and and this morning i

remembered that and i'm like oh this is what he meant like there are days that are just trying for no reason by the way y'all ain't nothing going on at all it's just one little thing can throw your whole day off throw your whole energy off you know make you not remember your intention and your faith walk and your praise walk and i am being so intention and i am being so intention about not forgetting, like not forgetting who I am, why I am somewhere, and just the control that I have over prophesizing great days over my life, prophesizing the manifest of what I want in my life, executing to get there, I'm not forgetting it. And I'm celebrating today. I got my issue of Brown Style magazine, which is a magazine that celebrates black women. It's called

I am brownstyle.com. Is there online. website. And their editor-in-chief is a woman named Tweedy I'm probably saying your name wrong, Tweety. But her handle online is Tweety-E-E-L-E-L-E-L-T-O-U. And she put together a woman's history month collector's issue. And I'm on the cover of this magazine. I received a magazine in the mail today, and I'm like, wow. Wow. The magazine, the issue is all about 100 women in media you should know. Tips for building a brand you love.

And it's about soft living with the brown girl who's always grind in. Let me tell y'all something. Like, I've even had to prophesize soft living for myself because I don't come from that. Like, I don't come from just being able to, like, treat yourself when you want. Like, granted, I had a very nice upbringing. have never wanted for anything but like we've you know we've always had to do things knowing that there were responsibilities and things to take care of that took precedent a lot over other things so now that I'm able to I'm experiencing things at such a different level um that I've never

experienced before when it comes to seeing just seeing things and in the rooms that I'm in and the people that I'm getting to learn from and you know like I just uh today in this morning which is one of those mornings where I felt God talking to me like, all right. Now, first of all, let's talk about your discipline because you said this week was the week you got back to getting to work, not even on time. I'm always trying to be earlier than on time, right? And it helps my morning when I do that. And that's not what happened this morning, Lauren, so let's talk about it. But while we're talking about it, reclaim the fact that you are here, you are living, you're breathing, you're breathing, You are amazing and you were supposed to be here, girl.

And then I got this magazine. I'm like, I am supposed to be here. So that was amazing. So look, if anybody is, you know, going through days and just feeling like you're literally just like getting through the day, I had two months of feeling like I was so weird. Like, I was just getting through the day. Like, I was so disconnected from my alignment and my purpose and all of this. And I still don't know what that was.

Like, I still don't fully know what that was. and what caused it. But I know, like, leaning into faith in conversations with God pulled me up out of it. Like, it is like night and day. Like, so I hope that helped y'all. Canadian women are looking for more. More into themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world are out of them.

So speaking of good news, y'all, JZ is getting back on stage. Jay Z is getting back on stage. Jay Z is getting back on stage. So last year, I went to the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia. That is a picnic in celebration of and put on by the Roots. And it's a huge picnic in Philadelphia.

more of like a festival concert in Philadelphia, but people travel all in for it. Jay-Z is going to be headlining the festival this year in May with the roots. Now, a couple months ago on the Breakfast Club, I was talking about the fact that Jay-Z had changed the way his name was listed on streaming services. So if you go and look at Jay-Z's name on streaming services, I want to go and make sure it's still there. He had changed. it to the Jay-Z I mean it still said Jay-Z but it was literally

spelled like oh yes it's still there it was literally it is spelled like the way that Jay-Z was spelled on the first reasonable doubt cover with the two little dots over his Y and the dash in between the Y and the Z and fans think that this

is signaling the fact that he may be coming with new music now then I told you guys that it was the 30 year anniversary of reasonable doubt. That was not a coincidence, but I didn't know what was coming next. So then after that, Jay-Z dropped a website, a reasonable doubt website where you are able to, you know, buy collector's items, just all of these things, right? But for the first time ever, they actually put dead presidents available for streaming. So previously, only dead presidents too was available for streaming.

But now you can listen to the original. The original tree. Featrach features the famous The World is Your sample, which was released to streaming services. It actually happened in February. And that's often referred to as Dead President's One, because, I mean, the only other one that the fans could get on streaming was two. And all of this is coinciding with the 30th anniversary of Reasonable Doubt was dropped in 1996. And that website where I'm telling you guys about this merch so you could do vinals and like all these other things celebrating the 30 years of reasonable doubt is jZ30.com.

So now, right? In celebration of all of that, Jay-Z decides to pop back out and get back outside. People have been looking for him to perform for a while. People have been waiting to see if it was going to be like, I think a lot of people thought his next performance was going to be like a Super Bowl announcement. And I don't think we're going, I think the day that we get a Jay-Z performing at the Super Bowl announcement will be the, It'll probably be like his final goodbye to his NFL partnership. Like he'll be done with doing all of that.

Go out with a bang, which will be him performing at the Super Bowl, right? But the Roots picnic is happening. So this will take place in Philly. The annual festival, the lineup actually did not drop yet. But Jay-Z's performance is a rare moment. Like, he don't just go anywhere. And that also goes to show you. I mean, I don't know.

I feel like Made in America is not the same anyway. Jay Z was like heavily and you know that was his festival at one point in time it's just not that's just not it ain't there no more like it didn't even happening the newest tracks let's go new music and the next big thing always on the new music first your first place to hear it all because you're going to like it love her want to play it twice playing now i heart new music your digital station for brand new drops fresh vines and tomorrow's bangers I think we need something new.

His last solo tour was 2017's 444 tour, and he toured extensively, you know, after that with Beyonce on the run two tour and then you know we saw him pop up in support of bioncay at the renaissance tour but yeah i mean the book of clearance dropped as well um we've seen like you know a little small little popouts but

i don't remember when the last time i saw j z do a dedicated date this big um it's not his first time performing with the roots but it will be history uh the roots actually were his backup band during his 2001 MTV Unplug special, which there are so many moments from that MTV Unplug that still go viral on social media, but you might not know, I mean, depending on your age, you just might not know that this MTV Unplugged because it was a big moment for Jay-Z, for The Roots, but for MTV Unplugged as well too. And they also were his backup band in 2006 when he did the 10-year anniversary of Reasonable Doubt at Radio City Music Hall in New York.

And during that performance, he had a orchestra of over 60 members, which was all directed by Quest Love. So it's like, it is full circle. It is definitely full circle. So this year, and this is why I mentioned the fact that I went to the Roots Picnic a few years ago because, not a few years ago, last year, because when I went last year, it was so nasty outside. Like, I mean, it was raining.

It was muddy. It was disgusting. like it just it just wasn't good um they also had issues with like the grounds and just like operation and production of the grounds right so we were outside of the festival waiting for at least two hours in the pouring down rain like i i was supposed to work with the roots festival last year on some content and decided to just not do the content and just show up and attend the festival because i was so burnt out i was i was so new in the space that i was saying yes to everything because I was just like, okay, if I don't take this now, it's out of sight, out of mine.

And by the time the Roots picnic came, I was so burnt out. I didn't even have the energy to show up and do the content piece that it basically ended up becoming. We were told that we were going to do one small thing, and then it turned into so much other stuff. So on top of being exhausted, on top of knowing that it was going to pour down raining and just be muddy and nasty, I was like, no, y'all, let me just come attend and just have a good time, do it, you know what I mean, do it as I want to. And we went and we tried to do that. And literally couldn't even get in the gate. I remember production was trying to, like, find us and tell us what you're going to go in.

It was just all over the place. So they've had to actually move the venue to the Roots picnic. It's happened at Belmont Plateau. And, you know, they've said, too, that they've, like, increased their production. and like different access points into the festival this year and look the Roots Picnic has been successful and it has been ongoing for years like forever so they can get it right but I they don't have a choice but to get it right this time Jay-Z is going to bring out so many people they have no choice but to get it right now the general manager of the picnic his name is Sean G

He is a person, and he actually manages, I just recently met him. He manages Jill Scott as well. So I think we're going to probably see Jill Scott there. Like, I'm almost for certain we probably will because she has new music out. She's got to go on tour, so she'll be working a set already, and he manages her already. But he announced, you know, that there's going to just be, things are going to be a little different this year. Things are going to be a whole lot different. So that's taking place May 30 for 30th and Philly.

So I will be there. Canadian women are looking for room. More to themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world around them. And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast. I'm Jennifer Stewart. And I'm Catherine Clark. And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women.

Now, one place I won't be is in this group chat with Amy from Love and Hip Hop Atlanta and Dwight Howard, any longer, hopefully.

And we've been talking a bit about, you know, everything that happened with them because Amy got online and claimed this. this while showing a huge clear plastic bag of cocaine that she cleaned with the White Howers. Let's take a listen to this audio from weeks ago. I try to tell everybody he needs some help. First, in our 12-year-old son to cover for him, his son, to cover for him. He had him lying. I recorded it. He was coaching our son to lie on me, and I had to record it.

And it's this shit. I try to tell everybody, he needs some help. and ain't nobody would have fucking listen because he got the booty I can say whatever y'all don't understand I live with you need some here

so I know Amy I love Amy like as a person she is she's a beautiful person from what I know right and from who I've met but watching her go through

this marriage almost divorce now newly filing for divorce situation with Dwight Howard it's tough to watch it's really tough to watch There are so many different claims of different things going on in their household, everything from, you know, domestic incidents to there were like some alleged cause for a suicide claim.

Amy is claiming that the CPS came and took one of his kids, which we still don't really know if it's happening or not. There's a lot going on. In the midst of all of this, the White Howard officially retired from basketball, which a lot of y'all are going to be like, I thought you already retired. Basically basketball made a decision for him, like the game and the team. made a decision for him, but he officially retired in the midst of all of this. And the couple who were married on July 11, 2024 and had previously, you know, went public with their divorce in December of 2024, had tried to go through a divorce previously back in July of 2025.

That was filed by Amy, who was claiming that, you know, that they couldn't be together. It was six months after the wedding. And it was just a lot going on. But here we are again. There is now body cam footage that has been released from the day that, you know, Amy, or one of the days that Amy alleged she had to call the police to their home. Not even alleges. It did happen because we're looking at a body cam video.

Amy called the police to their home. This is, you know, after she alleged CPS came in and took to White Howard's daughter, who is her stepdaughter. And they're going back and forth about the fact that he put her out of the house. Let's take a listen to Amy's side of it. Your wife wants to get in the house and she can't because you locked her out. That's not true. Okay.

I got two witnesses here. Is there any way she can get in? Yeah. That's a simple question. No, go ahead. And by the way, I will subpoena you live on, or lie if you want to. Hold on. So tell me, how do you know this situation?

So then Dwight Howard, you know, he then tells his side of things. And from what it seems like, he believes that he, and he's alleging that Amy is doing all of this because they're having issues. There's jealousy there. He says there's jealousy there. You guys are going to please pay attention to who he says she's jealous of. But it's timed right around the time that she knew that he would be retiring so that she could stir the conversation. Let's take a listen to the White Howard. My daughter's mom asked her time for the last year.

Who's going to get her daughter? So who has custody? I have. You still have custody? Yes. Okay. All right. So what is happening is they have teamed up.

Who has? She has in your ex-wife or ex-baby mother or whatever. And the baby mom. Okay. They're upset about money. So they want to destroy my cues and my reputation. I didn't want you to do this, but I got to let you go. I'm going to officially retire for basketball.

And I was having a ceremony in a couple of days. It's supposed to be tomorrow. She knows me. So she can do anything. to ruffle my 30s, to stop my stuff she can do. Last night we asked the cops, could he do something about her being here? Because she was going to keep antagonizing me.

And I know the rules. I know what's going on, and I'm queen with that, but this is my place. I've been here for nine, 10 years. She just got married. She left the first six months because she was trying to get some money with it. Everybody telling me to do the right thing.

What is the right thing, Mr. Howard? The right thing was to stay. marry or stay with somebody okay so I tried that you know what I'm saying for gougals whatever you want to call right brought it back in the exact time can I brought it up in to the time she started going crazy was a fool of you it seems to the year hit she just went desert and so there's also been instances where she's jealous of my animals I had what my animals with these dogs I had another amount of them okay that was huge

Under her watch a couple of days before the dog died, she told me, I got something for you. That she said it in the way like, I'm going to do something to you. I got something for you. She killed your dog? You can't prove it. I'm not implying that she killed my dog, but I would say that she was negligent because she was watching my animals and she said that the dogs got out the gate. Now, as y'all can see that this gate is pretty big and strong.

Right. It's no way these laws can get out no matter what they do or let somebody open the gate. Pushes that open, right, okay. All right, that's all right. Yeah, all right, at the end of the day. I'm afraid for my son. He does not be able to stay around her. Okay.

Both of them keep saying, though, that they keep sticking together because it's like, do the right things, staying in your marriage, figure it out. And, you know, I know we all like to think that we mind our business when it comes to other people's relationships. But to me, in my opinion, I think it's just, you know, it's hard to do to I don't say do the right thing I think you should do what is actually making sense and what is healthy and what is actually progressive like if things are changing and it's getting better but I think it's hard to do any of that and figure out what the right thing to do is when we keep being put back in a group chat now Amy decided to get online and tell us you know

some of the things she alleged were happening in her household and in her marriage on her own but everything after that has been kind of like because it's like what now we over here like now now we in here we didn't ask who all over there and we came over so now we here we in the chat so people are digging and you know that's when the conversation about cost of service to the house came up and you know the different calls that happened a few weeks leading up to um Dwight Howard because he now has gone and filed for divorce and Amy alleges she was on our way to do it first. They just picked up his paperwork first. And now we have this body care. So I don't know, I say all that to say, I don't, I don't know how they reconcile this if they do because it's like

once things get to the public, like on the internet and all of that, it's just, it's tough. Like, it's really tough to figure out, especially I'm assuming if you're Dwight Howard and his wife, right? Like, she's on television. He's the White Howard. The whole world, they all leave a business now. I don't know, but I wish them the best, man. We started off this episode celebrating and on a high note, and I'm an end-on-one. I wish them the best, especially because after all of this shuts off, the cameras, the Instagram, the phone is down, and all of that, these are two people who actually have to live their lives, and there's kids involved. And these kids are not babies. So they're seeing whatever is going down.
