Why Are So Many Young Men Still Single? Way Up With Yee Angela Yee herself just got engaged for the first time at age 50 to entrepreneur Tameek "Meek" Floyd. So boom... I was listening to Angela Yee on Way Up , and they were discussing a report saying the number of single young men in America has jumped by 50% over the last 25 years. The numbers are wild. Back in 2000, there were about 20.7 million single men between 18 and 39. Today, that number sits at over 30 million. On top of that, the average age for men getting married has climbed from 23 years old to 31. Now whenever these conversations happen, it seems like the finger immediately points at men. "They play too many video games." "They stay inside too much." "They addicted to social media." And while some of that might be true for a few brothers, I couldn't help but think: why is the conversation always about blaming men instead of examining the whole playing field? B...

They Said They Needed ESPN... Turns Out ESPN Needed Them A couple months ago, I was choppin' it up with my homegirl about all the rumors floating around regarding Ryan Clark and Cam Newton and their situations with ESPN. I told her straight up, "They'll be aight." Why? Because in 2026, the game done changed. Back in the day, if a network cut ties with you, that was supposed to be the end of the road. You got fired, canceled, pushed aside, and everybody thought your mic got turned off. But nowadays? The internet handed people their own station. Your phone is a studio. Your YouTube channel is a network. Your podcast is your own timeslot. That's why I never looked at Ryan Clark or Cam Newton as dudes who needed ESPN to survive. They already built something for themselves. Ryan got The Pivot with Channing Crowder and Fred Taylor. Cam got 4th & 1 With Cam Newton and the Funky Friday Podcast. These ain't little side hustles either. These platforms got real audie...

                                                                    Chiraq, We Gotta Do Betta Look, I ain't from Chicago, so I ain't gon' act like I know every block, every beef, or every story. But since we talkin' outta turn, let’s have a real conversation. Chiraq got too much talent to keep burying its future. Too many young brothers with gifts, hustle, charisma, music, sports talent, business ideas, and leadership potential getting caught up in beef that's older than some of the kids involved. And I get it, some of these situations run deep. Pain gets passed down like an heirloom in the hood. But at some point somebody gotta break the cycle. I wish more OGs would step up and get involved. Yeah, I know the younger generation don't always listen. Half the time these young dudes think they got all the answers until lif...
