On this episode of The Morning Hustle, the crew dove into the latest controversy around Young Thug, whose jail call comments about rapper GloRilla being “not his type” sparked backlash after going public. Thug later apologized on social media, admitting he was wrong and that the comments came from a tough moment behind bars. The hosts debated whether leaking personal jail calls crosses a line or is fair game when someone is facing serious charges.

Switching gears, the team unpacked Hooters’ surprising rebrand, with the restaurant chain trying to shift toward a “family-friendly” vibe by toning down uniforms and promoting healthier food options. While some thought it was smart business, others joked that the Hooters name itself might be too much baggage to ever shed. Finally, comedian and actor Lil Rel Howery joined the show, opening up about his comedy career, Chicago roots, and upcoming projects, including a comedy festival and new film roles. His candid conversation highlighted his belief in keeping energy for the stage and creating more opportunities for Black and brown comedians in the industry.
