Show # 250 - Mixed Up

There were some trending things that needed to be discussed this week that may have had you feeling mixed emotions. Kerrion Franklin, the son of Kirk Franklin, has threatened to release another tape if he is again called a liar by his father. He also accuses his father of battery. Last week, Kerrion released audio of a conversation with his father, where Franklin threatened to assault him. Crazy! Drizzy Drake once again etched his name in the music history books. This week, the Canadian recording artist became the first act to debut three songs at the #1, #2, and #3 positions on the Hot 100 chart. Drake joins a list with The Beatles and Ariana Grande as the only acts to sit at #1, #2, and #3 at the same time. Plus, Drizzy extended his record of most total weeks at #1 on the Hot 100 for solo males (51). He only trails Mariah Carey (84), Rihanna (60), and The Beatles (59). Drake continues to make things happen. There's a mix up on this guy! On Monday, Rap Snacks announced that it was expanding and will now feature a beverage line that Lil Baby will be rolling out. Coming in five different flavors–fruit punch, strawberry watermelon, mango pineapple, blueberry, and sweet tea, will quench your thirst this season. As you know, a few celebs already have their own brand of chips with Rap Snacks. Romeo, Lil Yachty, Boosie, Migos, Cardi B, and most recently Trina, have partnered with the brand as well. Rick Ross, Boosie, and Master P also have noodles named after them with the brand. The decision, which was approved by Pope Francis, came in the form of a two-page explanation published in seven languages answering a question about whether Catholic clergy have the authority to bless gay unions. The main takeaway was that such unions are not part of God’s plan and that God “cannot bless sin.” To be clear, the explanation made sure to note that the church welcomes and blesses gay people, just not their unions. The Vatican holds that gay people must be treated with dignity and respect, but the note said that gay sex is “intrinsically disordered.” In addition to being part of God’s plan, Catholic teaching says that marriage is a lifelong union between a man and woman and is intended for the sake of creating new life. This is a subject matter that is sensitive. However, we had to discuss it. Drop a comment on your thoughts!
