Speaker 1:
I don't got no fucking crumb crunchers running around the rest, for fucking sure. Welcome to Taken it where we talk about all sorts of black media means and madness. We are your hosts.
Speaker 2:
Day and Mary the Vergo. All right. So our first topic for today is Kiki Palmer and her baby daddy, my words Darius, whatever his last name is I don't know. That's Kiki Palmer, baby daddy to me.
Speaker 1:
The bastard he was hitting her Allegedly. No, I see that shit in my own two eyes. That's crazy, because I would have never thought though. No, you would have. I would have a hundred percent, a lot of. I feel like a lot of people got the right vibe when he posted that shit after.
Speaker 2:
Oh, when she were the stuff to us. Yes, I just thought he was being like insecure. I didn't know he was putting his hands on us.
Speaker 1:
He was.
Speaker 2:
Dang, he probably did it that day, and then Kiki Palmer and that like would have thought that Boy was really like laying hands on her.
Speaker 1:
I'm sorry to happen to you, kiki. You know we love you. Yeah, we don't support the domestics, you deserve the absolute best.
Speaker 2:
I think that she did it right by filing a restraining order and getting full custody of her son. Hopefully she's trying to fully yeah.
Speaker 1:
This for sure. What it seems like is that she was building a case against him before she went.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, because the video that she submitted for the restraining order in the time stamp up top is said it was from February of 2022. That this is way before us. This is way before that.
Speaker 1:
So that's free the baby and everything. She was pregnant that time 2022, in February.
Speaker 2:
Her baby is at least one, so pushing it, yeah or something, she had to be pregnant.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, she had to be. That's what they do Try to lock you down and control you. Tell you what the where?
Speaker 2:
Well, I don't know, couldn't be me. I'm sorry to say oh yeah, yikes, we said that in Lyscan too. That's a lot of ego, that's a lot of ego. They both can't be bad bitches. In other news, congratulations are in order for sexy red. Make some noise, y'all. What the fuck Congrats. So she was just on stage Throwing that ass in a circle, girating, splitting and all of that good stuff. She's receiving major backlash from the black community.
Speaker 3:
We're failing as a black community, if not already failed. At what point are we going to start? Being honest, the image of black women is not just her. I don't want to make this about her, but why is it in this society where they would cancel you for anything they don't agree with, the only thing you don't have to worry about them canceling you for is the negative image of black women. It's not just her. It's across social media, across the TV networks. Where is it? Where? You just see, just show me the other black women too. If y'all are going to show me this type of black woman, please give me the other ones. Show me the ladies, show me the ones that carry themselves. Baby, you can be a freak behind closed doors, ain't nothing wrong with that, but God damn how, how we lost bro. It's no coming back, bro. As a community, we're done Bro. This is crazy. I'm just too old this way.
Speaker 2:
Because apparently she's our spokeswoman as a whole and that she's our representative as black women Right and we need to stop a woman in her early 20s that rap. I'm a little bit mad that she's pregnant. First of all, because she just started her career. She did Like yeah, I know, I agree, niggas do not wait at all Like how long has she? Like how far long is she? I don't know, you are about to say it.
Speaker 1:
She just now found out, because it was like what a month ago that she got exposed.
Speaker 2:
And then, oh, with the sex tape, yes, and then that was her pregnancy.
Speaker 1:
I wonder if that's the baby daddy.
Speaker 2:
People keep saying drink the baby, daddy.
Speaker 1:
He wouldn't do that sex tape.
Speaker 2:
Anywhore Major backlash. There was a male who did an entire think piece on how we as a black culture can cancel everything else except for black women, who are representing us incorrectly.
Speaker 1:
This misplaced I don't want to call it anger because it's fake, but misplaced energy is just so baffling to me because why do we always have to be mad at a woman for expressing it First of?
Speaker 2:
all she's not hurting nobody, she's not disrespecting nobody and she's not in the way of somebody else's bag, so why do we need to cancel?
Speaker 1:
her, she don't start trouble, she not doing anything racist, she don't bother anybody, she not.
Speaker 2:
Why do we have to cancel sexy red and why is she getting so much backlash for being herself the same person that got her famous?
Speaker 1:
Right, she's a baby mom that everybody's trying to hide, and now that she's in public, they feel insecure Because you know we eat.
Speaker 3:
somebody sitting there.
Speaker 1:
They feel like she would eat them, so you should still be.
Speaker 2:
She's above every single baby mom that you niggas have. I said it, I said it and I don't think that men should put us women under a microscope if we express ourselves in our sexuality and our ratchetness the way we want to Right, because nobody gets up at arms at some of these niggas' lyrics. Okay, they continue daily, every day. Y'all been letting futures lie for the longest. This nigga got how many baby mom's? 9, 11. I don't know y'all don't have the same energy for y'all role models.
Speaker 2:
So right, I Think that y'all should pipe down and then the women Piggy back in off of it.
Speaker 1:
Try for fun, the pig me she's thanks with your own five kids and three baby dads before.
Speaker 2:
They just say that, they just saying the same thing that men and say if anything, y'all should be on the woman side, right your power.
Speaker 1:
It's disturbing.
Speaker 2:
It's really disturbing, like.
Speaker 1:
There's different kinds of women. There's different kinds of black women. We're all different.
Speaker 2:
There's and then the right. The thing is that there's so many Exemplatory women out there, right, but then you got your sukihanas, your sexy ribs, and now there are our spokesperson, right, our representatives as black women, but when it come to Beyonce, oh, she's overrated. I don't know why nobody likes her right.
Speaker 1:
Did they? Did they have this energy when, like Lil Ken and FI, see brown no?
Speaker 2:
no, what's that? Well, that's back when frickin it was down right Going on, so they had no room to be talking.
Speaker 1:
Oh, yeah, cuz I've seen some of them video tapes yeah.
Speaker 2:
I'm so waiting for the documentary, so some of your aunties and your mamas and your grandmamas can get exposed.
Speaker 1:
So no, some of these uncles need to be arrested, or I've seen Y'all grabbing. Oh yes, they love a sexy red bind, or so yeah, I love sexy read.
Speaker 2:
Okay for the music I think I think Sukey on this Sukey, I don't ever get no bet.
Speaker 1:
I mean she did, she was on the floor, the the VMAs looking fucking embarrassing, but still, that's what size the point.
Speaker 2:
She was cutting up.
Speaker 1:
He's a. He don't want that baby Spucked up as it sounds. Believe him that nigga ain't playing the fuck or suffer the consequences.
Speaker 3:
Okay, look how many kids is growing up without daddy's right now, today.
Speaker 1:
And I fully agree don't keepin their fucking demon seed Okay.
Speaker 2:
Pro-choice? Yes, I don't. I don't think the issue is that Um women don't believe men when they say that they don't want a child. Is just that it's not your decision anymore. Once you exactly inside of a woman, you give up your rights, baby daddy, that's fine.
Speaker 1:
Nobody's arguing that it's. Why do you want?
Speaker 2:
To have a child.
Speaker 1:
Why do you want that for? Some people have beliefs religious beliefs they don't, they wouldn't be out here fucking around with randoms.
Speaker 2:
So that means they shouldn't keep a child. I'm saying, or maybe they have a lot of people following their beliefs or maybe they don't start there, don't start with the consequence.
Speaker 1:
Now you, now you, a Christian.
Speaker 2:
I mean.
Speaker 1:
I was out here doing wrong and Sinning and shit, and oh, you know that might not be the other person's Beliefs in shit, but it's mine, so I'm gonna make it everyone's problem now. Oh no, I can't be the only one suffering. Even though you can choose not to suffer, you just decide that that's where you gonna start at, because now you know you have a Struggle to complain about. You could be a victim of something now.
Speaker 2:
I'm definitely all right. Yes, I'm definitely on the side where it is, though. If a guy tells you that he does not want the child, have to get rid of it. That's me, but not everybody's gonna have to believe, and I think that men Definitely need to keep that in mind. Present why you have a sex with a woman like it's is no longer your choice.
Speaker 1:
That often apply to like people who are actually in the committed relationship together at the time.
Speaker 2:
This just be one night stands, mm-hmm situations.
Speaker 1:
Ships just mess with people that you know or don't know.
Speaker 2:
Either way, just met yeah, definitely Go ahead and send that to the sky, daddy, but that you can't. You can't expect Every woman to just be like, alright, you don't want it. I.
Speaker 1:
Guess, I don't want it either. I mean, like I said, cuz.
Speaker 2:
Some women do want a child and then once they get pregnant, that's their opportunity to have that thing.
Speaker 1:
That they wanted all their life, that they waited for all that life.
Speaker 2:
Or maybe they have one too many abortions and they can't get no more. You know like maybe the uterus is just like alright, it's time, girl, push me out.
Speaker 1:
There's precautions that you really should be taking. Not that precautions don't work, but just saying but um, you're, you're cutting down the the chance of this bullshit popping up Draftically. When you take precautions, a lot of people who can take in precautions.
Speaker 2:
Yes, especially as a man. If you do not want to have children, do not give up your Choice and having a baby with a woman by Ejeculating inside of her. That's the only way you cannot have a child for a certain. Sorry to say that, guys, I know that it's rough news for you and it's hard to swallow.
Speaker 1:
Didn't they approve male birth control? Did it get approved or it's like close to getting approved?
Speaker 2:
Yeah, and you think, you think men gonna take it.
Speaker 1:
Yeah they be doing this fucking complaining about baby moms. They need to take it. Who's stopping them?
Speaker 2:
I saw under the post when they FDA approved male birth control, and under the post was a bunch of men say, oh, I'm not taking that. I'm not taking that. You know what that would do to our body? A bunch of dummies.
Speaker 1:
Right, I know what I do to my body every fucking month, every year, well, technically every three years. I don't got no fucking crumb crunchers running around. The last fucking show.
Speaker 2:
