Lick The Rapper

This week, I'm recapping my chaotic NYC trip with friend of the show, "B" and giving the full rundown on the auditions I tackled this week — including the real differences between equity and non-equity rooms. I also explain why music festivals will probably never be my thing, unpack why I think some kinks deserve side-eyes instead of celebration, and tell the story of sneaking into DJ Esso's networking event… only for Loren Lorosa to reject my custom condoms. A truly unhinged episode from start to finish. Subscribe To The Patreon! www.licktherapper.com

On this episode of Lick the Rapper, things start messy—Mia gets kicked off the show after bringing nothing but attitude. From there, it turns into a powerful, unfiltered conversation with my mom, who shares her journey from building one of the biggest hair salons in Richmond to working as a lead stylist connected to Paul Mitchell's Black hair care initiatives. She opens up about her rise as an entrepreneur, including a wild moment when Tupac Shakur walked through her salon, and gets real about the hardest lessons she's learned—especially betrayal in business. Now at 65, she's stepping into a whole new chapter in theatre, proving reinvention doesn't have an expiration date. We also get into love, marriage, and her no-nonsense advice: why expectations can set you up, how she's maintained a 40-year marriage, and why you shouldn't take a man seriously until he's 60. Raw, funny, and full of wisdom you probably didn't ask for—but definitely need. Come see Hypocrite The Musical at The Paramount Theater, April 10th, 7pm.

Waddie Guapo pulls up and starts popping his sh*t about everything from forgiveness and trust issues with women to why girls have been secretly recording him lately. He also makes it VERY clear why he should not be called a "local rapper." But it doesn't stop there… Waddie admits he's actually a lover boy who loves love, breaks down the difference between a hoe and a b** (according to him)**, and of course the conversation somehow spirals into the booty eating debate that had everybody heated. Safe to say this episode went completely off the rails in the best way. Instagram : @imaniblair, @waddieguapo2 Get Your Tickets Today for Hypocrite The Musical! www.hypocritethemusical.com

This week I'm sitting down with videographer Rick Blair — aka the man who drove THREE HOURS to the mountains just to shoot my friend's music video. We talk about why he actually went to college for media, why some of these camera men are out here embarrassing the profession, and how people are low-key messing up the creative game. Of course I share my horror stories (because when do I not?), we discuss 757 vs. 804 battle, RVA live, and Rick explains why he is absolutely not ready to get married. At all.

This week on the pod, Imani and Skuzii get personal—like, personal. We kick things off with how Imani and her ex actually bonded over Skuzii's music (yes… his catalog has been saving and ending relationships apparently). From there, we dive straight into the moment Skuzii went viral for getting his a** ate—and how the internet turned one bold confession into a full-blown cultural moment. Imani opens up about her low-key (high-key?) obsession with psychic mediums and why she's always looking for signs from the other side, while also unpacking the very real embarrassment that can come with simply… being sad. Why do we feel so awkward about heartbreak? Why do we hide it? We get into all of that. Skuzii breaks down the creative process behind his self-entitled album, skuzii—why he named it after himself, what it represents, and how it reflects who he is right now. He talks about his deep love for performing, the energy exchange with a crowd, and how sobriety reshaped not just his art but his entire life. And in one of the sweetest moments of the episode, he shares how he knew his fiancé was the one. It's funny. It's vulnerable. It's a little chaotic. And it's one of those conversations that reminds you how art, love, healing, and a little internet scandal can all collide in the same week.

In this sibling-hosted episode, we dive into the parallels between an athlete's grind and a performer's hustle—discipline, rejection, faith, and the pressure to keep evolving. Using my brother's rise to stardom with the Savannah Bananas as the backdrop, we talk about his unexpected glow-up, newfound confidence, and how a deeper relationship with Jesus transformed not just his career, but his entire life. instagram: @imaniblair @bcross_5

I went to Aruba and slept the entire time—so of course we had to talk about it. Joined by my good friend Bougie Vuitton and returning guest favorite Aaliyah, we get into Valentine's Day, celibacy, the real story behind me and Aaliyah's friendship, and the undeniable decline of the City Girls. Everything really spirals once I touch back down in Richmond, Virginia and all hell breaks loose. Instagram: @imaniblair I'll do better at these one day. Enjoy!

My little sister, Mia, pulls up to the mic and things immediately get unhinged—in the best way. We're breaking down the Baddie Commandments for 2026: boundaries, glow-ups, delusion (the healthy kind), dating rules, career moves, and what we're absolutely leaving behind. Sister advice, petty wisdom, and real talk for anyone entering 2026 like a menace—with intention. https://patreon.com/licktherapperpod?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink
