    LOON Breaks Down Why Defending the Streets Keeps the Youth Stuck + Tekashi 6ix9ine on Steiny & 2025

    1/05/2026 | 1h 25 mins.

    LOON sets the tone for 2026 with a real conversation about accountability, boundaries, and leadership — and why glorifying the “street lifestyle” can keep the next generation stuck. He also reacts to Tekashi 6ix9ine on Steiny, breaking down what gets misunderstood when people outside the culture try to “explain” something they didn’t build. In the year-end wrap-up, LOON covers major 2025 conversations — including Drake/UMG lawsuit talk, bots & fake stream allegations, the reaction economy, and why distribution + attention matter heading into 2026.

    Dr. Umar Johnson on "Kai Cenat Being Setup By White People" + 50 Cent Applying Pressure to Diddy

    12/31/2025 | 43 mins.

    Dr Umar In Hour 3 Talks Diddy 50 cent , Remy Ma & Papoose , Kaicenat & more. Dr. Umar Johnson joins It’s Up There for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with the backlash around Kai Cenat’s “Streamer University,” then expands into bigger questions about power, values, identity, and what Black influence should actually build. We talk about why Kai Cenat got attacked for empowering his network, Dr. Umar’s breakdown of equity vs equality, and why he believes Black success gets tested the moment it becomes organized. From there, the conversation touches Haiti and the importance of building real institutions, the public image realities of celebrity relationships, and even a deeper discussion about identity formation and early exposure. We also get into the culture’s “quick-fix” era — including talk around Adderall, Ozempic, discipline vs shortcuts — and a wild moment referencing the Diddy trial conversation about prescription labels and how money can move behind the scenes. Topics include: • Kai Cenat “Streamer University” backlash + serving your people first • Equity vs equality explained (why “equal” isn’t always fair) • Haiti, legacy, and building institutions (schools/hospitals/universities) • Remy Ma / Papoose + public image & relationships • Identity formation, early exposure, and values in childhood • Adderall/Ozempic, discipline vs shortcuts, and collateral damage • Diddy “Frank Black” prescription label conversation Patreon: https://patreon.com/ItsUpTherePodcast Discord: https://discord.gg/3AwsHfDcJB #ItsUpTherePodcast #DrUmarJohnson #KaiCenat Join Our Its Up There Podcast Clip Channel now https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEh6Wk40kcNcMJ4t_jtmluw Discord https://discord.gg/GJKXMWQS For all exclusive interviews & more content not here click here https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🚨Unreleased Interviews https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🦺All Merch Options teespring.com/its-up-there-podcast-merch 🎧LISTEN ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Jheeb8FxYVDRo8khyrz36?si=e339dD2JRte2MYX2Uon3BQ 👀 SUBSCRIBE HERE:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw 👂 LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-up-there-podcast/id1317524092?uo=4 👣FOLLOW ITS UP THERE PODCAST HOST : INSTAGRAM | fogfo_looney TIKTOK | https://www.tiktok.com/@fogfo_looney PATREON| https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 0:00 - Introduction to Part 3 Discussion 1:30 - Meeting Kai Cenat and amp crew impressions 3:15 - Analysis of Streaming University concept and its potential 5:45 - White backlash against Kai's black-focused initiatives 7:20 - Equity vs. Equality in streaming industry 9:30 - Strategic advice for Kai Cenat on global perspective 11:45 - The importance of building institutions in Haiti 14:00 - Discussion on sponsorships and loyalty conflicts 16:15 - Young streamers' responsibility to community 18:30 - Black Love discussion - Papoose and Remy Ma situation 21:00 - Public breakups impact on black community narrative 22:45 - LGBT community and child exposure concerns 25:30 - Identity formation and early childhood development 27:15 - Social learning theory and behavioral modeling 29:00 - Cultural values and heterosexual relationships 31:20 - Money vs. Culture - idol worship discussion 33:45 - The courage to stand for your people 35:30 - Building institutions vs. entertainment only 37:15 - FDMG Academy donation information 38:45 - Final thoughts and contact information 40:00 - Closing remarks - "Black Queens Forever, Snow Bunnies Never" SUBSCRIBE TO Youtube Channel ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw WATCH MORE ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwNIuOcAtoo&list=PLnwwxLxHiDWayq4HPgNYUtsAGvqe3liOOSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Chico Bean Discusses Trump Pardoning Diddy Theory, HBCU Importance + His Daughter Dating Advice

    12/25/2025 | 1h 16 mins.

    Chico Bean REACTS To Diddy Netflix Doc, Cassie Lawsuit, Jay-Z Comments & Trump Pardon Predictions Chico Bean pulls up to It’s Up There Podcast with Loon and the convo goes from Diddy’s case and Cassie’s settlement to Candace Owens, Epstein, Elvis, Anthony Edwards, Shannon Sharpe, Trump and more. This ain’t just gossip – it’s how power really moves when the cameras turn off. In this episode, Loon and Chico break down what it means to be a man with money, reputation and receipts in 2025. They talk about the Diddy situation, RICO, asset seizures and public humiliation, and why sometimes the goal is to destroy your name even if you beat the case. Then they compare that to how Elvis, R. Kelly, Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein were handled, and what that says about race, protection and celebrity justice in America. They get into Cassie’s settlement, women’s choices, men’s responsibility and the price of silence, plus the question nobody wants to answer: Would you take Diddy’s deal – 30 years of power for a public fall? From there, the convo jumps to Candace Owens and “safe” platforms, how politics turns pain into content, and why some people talk loud on TV but don’t want real confrontation. Sports gets pulled in too – Anthony Edwards’ situation, Shannon Sharpe, women’s bodies, abortion, child support and the court of public opinion. This one isn’t just about one headline. It’s Diddy, Cassie, Candace Owens, Epstein, Elvis, Anthony Edwards, Shannon Sharpe, Trump, Jay-Z, Tyler Perry and more – all tied into one question: Who gets protected, who gets dragged, who gets paid and who gets played when sex, money, fame and the internet mix together? 🔹 LOCK IN WITH THE SHOW 👍🏽 Like the video 💬 Drop a comment & join the conversation 📌 Share this episode with somebody who loves real conversation 🚨 Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss what’s next 🔹 JOIN THE LOONIVERSE 🎧 Full audio & early episodes on Patreon: https://patreon.com/ItsUpTherePodcast 💬 Join the Discord community: https://discord.gg/3AwsHfDcJB ▶️ Binge past episodes & interviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnwwxLxHiDWYLCXvb81w69QAfr6cc1Y3N 🔹 FOLLOW IT’S UP THERE PODCAST Follow Loon & It’s Up There Podcast on: Instagram • TikTok • Facebook • X • Snapchat (Search: ItsUpTherePodcast) #chicobean #ItsUpTherePodcast #Loon #Diddy #Cassie #CandaceOwens #Epstein #Elvis #AnthonyEdwards #ShannonSharpe #Trump #HipHopPodcast #CultureTalk #BlackMedia Join Our Its Up There Podcast Clip Channel now https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEh6Wk40kcNcMJ4t_jtmluw Discord https://discord.gg/GJKXMWQS For all exclusive interviews & more content not here click here https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🚨Unreleased Interviews https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🦺All Merch Options teespring.com/its-up-there-podcast-merch 🎧LISTEN ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Jheeb8FxYVDRo8khyrz36?si=e339dD2JRte2MYX2Uon3BQ 👀 SUBSCRIBE HERE:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw 👂 LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-up-there-podcast/id1317524092?uo=4 👣FOLLOW ITS UP THERE PODCAST HOST : INSTAGRAM | fogfo_looney TIKTOK | https://www.tiktok.com/@fogfo_looney PATREON| https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 0:00 - Intro & Opening Thoughts 2:45 - Self-Love Philosophy: "Be More Excited to See Yourself Than Anyone Else" 5:30 - Walking Through Depression and Mental Health Struggles 8:15 - Childhood Stories: Mother Wanda and Learning Responsibility Early 12:20 - Therapy Sessions: What the Little Boy Wanted to Do 15:45 - Growing Up Without a Father and Taking Care of Family 18:30 - Being "Externally Humble" Despite Inner Confidence 21:10 - The Reality of Success: Empty Houses and Unused Cars 24:40 - Donating Clothes and Being Strategic About Giving Back 27:15 - Teaching Young People About Street Awareness 30:20 - AD BREAK - PrizePicks Sponsorship 32:45 - The Diddy Situation: Legal Analysis and Perspective 36:30 - Cassie Testimony and Relationship Dynamics 40:15 - Power, Corruption and Celebrity Culture 43:50 - Parenting Philosophy: Teaching His Daughter About Manipulation 47:20 - The Difference Between Men and Women Facing Consequences 50:35 - Conspiracy Theory: Would You Take "The Devil's Deal"? 54:10 - Black Men vs. Other Celebrities: Double Standards in America 57:25 - R.
