Chanel Rae joins the podcast to discuss her career, the impact of media layoffs, and various topics including the Oscars and music critiques.

Women’s History Month rolls on, as Stay Busy is honored to be joined by none other than Chanel Rae, Co-Founder & CEO of Legion Media Group and overall public relations rockstar. The crew begins by taking Chanel through the different stages of her life and asking her to recall some of the LEGION-DARY things she has accomplished (4:59). Next, another WHM-themed LUNCH BREAK (30:05) before the CHAT - an Oscars recap (37:10), Ebro’s comments about who can critique music (47:15), rumors that Future will be featured on Drake’s next album (1:01:38), and a review of Jack Harlow’s ‘Monica’ (1:09:56).
