But we're also getting into how costumes have become increasingly niche, and whether some celebrities are dressing up for Halloween or just creating an elaborate photo shoot. We love a good look, but can we take the costume outside?!And speaking of costumes… Chloe Bailey dressed as Jaguar Wright, and we have QUESTIONS. 👀 Was it just a costume, or was she trying to tell us something? Given Jaguar's very public criticism of Jay-Z and Beyoncé, the choice feels a little too on the nose. We're proud of Chloe, but we need to discuss!In this week's BeyHive Buzz, we're looking at Beyoncé's latest photos from backstage at a Jay-Z concert, fan reactions to her appearance, and whether there's a little arrested development happening when it comes to her relationship with Jay-Z.Finally, we're unpacking the viral conversation between Keith Lee and 2 Chainz. From celebrity privilege and expecting special treatment to the criticism of Black-owned businesses, we get into why honest, constructive feedback from your own community should be welcomed. How else are businesses supposed to grow?It's messy, it's fun, and we have plenty to say.

We have THOUGHTS. Especially as Black women in America, we talk about why voting still matters, why opting out isn't the flex some people think it is, and why even if you're skeptical about the impact of your vote, what exactly are you losing by participating? Then things take a turn toward the church. We're unpacking the story of a pastor whose wife announced that his spiritual daughter has now become his wife in a polygynous relationship. We get into the power dynamics, religious institutions, men in positions of authority, and the ways some women enable and defend male-centered systems that ultimately put other women at risk. Next up: Jay-Z's official announcement for the 2027 Super Bowl has us experiencing some serious Jay-Z fatigue. We're also questioning his continued partnership with the NFL, especially as questions remain about the league's treatment of Black athletes. We discuss the troubling circumstances surrounding Jalen Hurts' blood clot diagnosis, the investigation into his medical clearance, and whether player safety is really the priority. The situation feels uncomfortably reminiscent of the exploitation of Black bodies throughout history. So what role is Jay-Z playing in helping the NFL manage its public image? And finally, Nicki Minaj's appearance at a MAGA rally has us asking… what exactly is going on?! We discuss her political alignment, the reactions, and why we're getting strong Sunken Place energy. From influencers sitting out elections to pastors, the NFL, and celebrities making questionable political appearances, this episode has us asking a lot of questions.

Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode!We're ready to say goodbye to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show era, and honestly… good riddance! 👋🏾 There was a time when Victoria's Secret was THAT girl. We were tuned in, captivated by the spectacle, and blissfully unaware of the disturbing history behind the brand, including Les Wexner's ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Knowing what we know now, we're not sad to see that era fade. And let's be real, the bras and panties were never really giving grown-woman comfort or functionality anyway. 😭That leads us down memory lane to the golden age of malls and mall culture. The '90s and early 2000s really had us living in a fantasy! 😂 From spending entire Saturdays at the mall to the absolute MAGIC of Christmas shopping—the decorations, the music, the excitement of it all! Christmas at the mall was an EXPERIENCE. We might've actually peaked as a culture back then, and we're only half joking. 😭Then we get into Miley Cyrus's Hollywood Bowl performance and the complaints that she wasn't giving fans her all. Why do we give celebrities so much grace for not doing their jobs when everyday people are expected to show up, smile, and perform no matter what? And if fans paid their hard-earned money to hear YOU sing, why are they doing half the singing?!We also talk about the decline of the traditional hair salon as a third space, especially for Black women. Beyond getting our hair done, salons were places to build community, learn social cues, and experience a level of professionalism that we feel has been lost in the shift toward salon suites and independent stylists.Finally, we ask whether Gen Z and Gen Alpha are missing out on the third spaces that helped shape us. Not to sound like boomers, but when did caring become uncool?! 😭 These are our future doctors, nurses, and community leaders—we NEED y'all to give AF!Some things deserve to stay in the past, but community, consideration, and knowing how to act in public? We'd like those back, please. 😂As always… who are we to judge? 🤷🏾‍♀️Donate to support the growth of our show!Cashapp: $whoamitojudgepodPaypal: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠paypal.me/WhoAmIToJudgePod⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Official Podcast IG/TikTok - @whoamitojudgepod Samantha - @vraibleu Alexis - @effyouimgucciphdEmail Us at [email protected] podcast is for entertainment and commentary purposes only.

But we have questions… why don't Gen Z and Gen Alpha DANCE at concerts anymore?! Are we the only ones who still want to get up and have a good time?!Then we get into late-stage male-centeredness and what we're calling the male-centered to Botched pipeline. 😭 From Susan Dell to Barbara Thornhill, we talk about the lengths some women go to center men in their lives and where that can ultimately lead.Next, we're unpacking the irony of Gizelle Bryant's father's inheritance reportedly going to his white wife and then his sister-in-law. Considering how much Gizelle criticized Candiace for receiving financial support from her family, we have THOUGHTS about how this situation has unfolded.Finally, we get into the Kelly Clarkson and Art of Place store debacle. Because what is going ON?!As always… who are we to judge? 🤷🏾‍♀️Donate to support the growth of our show!Cashapp: $whoamitojudgepod Paypal: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠paypal.me/WhoAmIToJudgePod⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Official Podcast IG/TikTok - @whoamitojudgepodSamantha - @vraibleuAlexis - @effyouimgucciphdEmail Us at [email protected] podcast is for entertainment and commentary purposes only.

Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode!Why does putting yourself out there feel SO embarrassing?! 😭 This week, we’re talking about the vulnerability of being perceived...from posting yourself online to sending the risky text and why doing something as simple as letting people know you care can suddenly make you want to disappear.Then we get into the Savannah James first class vs. business class discourse. When you’re married to a billionaire, what are the expectations?! We speculate about money, access, and power in relationships where one person is the primary wealth holder and what WE would expect if we were in that position. Safe to say, the people in our lives wouldn’t have to worry about a thing. 😂And somehow, as always, we end up at Beyoncé. If Beyoncé and Kelly go to dinner… are they splitting the check?! What about Solange? Who’s picking up the tab? Who’s on the payroll?! We have absolutely no inside information, so naturally we let our imaginations run wild.Then we get into the $1,000+ sew-in debate. Has the price of getting your hair done gotten completely out of control? And at what point does “luxury pricing” become predatory when your primary customers are Black women? We have THOUGHTS.Finally, BeyHive Buzz has us asking the questions that really matter: What is a lazy Saturday like when you’re Beyoncé-level rich? 😂 Do you wake up and breakfast is already waiting? Is the chef there every day? Are your clothes laid out, or are you still standing in the closet figuring out what to wear like the rest of us? Who is just… permanently at the house?! We need a book detailing the mundane logistics of Beyoncé's billionaire life! Please Beyoncé! We need to know! 😭As always… who are we to judge? 🤷🏾‍♀️Donate to support the growth of our show!Cashapp: $whoamitojudgepod Paypal: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠paypal.me/WhoAmIToJudgePod⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Official Podcast IG/TikTok - @whoamitojudgepodSamantha - @vraibleuAlexis - @effyouimgucciphdEmail Us at [email protected] podcast is for entertainment and commentary purposes only.
