This week on Nola Haynes Is Not A Spy, Nola is joined by Reecie Colbert and Rebekah Caruthers for a candid, unfiltered conversation that moves from pop culture to politics, and everything in between.They break down the rise of Black celebrities flirting with right-wing politics, from Nick Cannon to Chilli, and what it really means in terms of influence, the algorithm, and voter behavior. Is this genuine belief, strategic grift, or something more calculated?

Then, the conversation shifts to the Texas Democratic primary between Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico. They unpack what actually happened beneath the headlines, the myth of “identity politics,” and the deeper fractures within the Democratic Party.

Plus, a real talk about Black voters: Are they being taken for granted? What does it actually mean to “earn” the vote in 2026? And will frustration carry into the midterms?

This week on Nola Haynes Is Not A Spy, Dr. Nola sits down with cultural journalist, and founder of AllHipHop.com, Chuck Creekmur and prominent digital strategist and the founder of Hip-Politics, Cameron Trimble for a conversation at the intersection of hip-hop, politics, and power. They unpack whether hip-hop is truly moving toward conservatism or if those tensions have always existed beneath the surface.

Together, they explore how technology, algorithms, and corporate money are reshaping the culture, why some artists stay silent while others spread misinformation, and how digital strategy and media investment are quietly influencing political outcomes in ways most people don’t see. At the center of it all is a bigger question: What happens when culture, the very thing that once mobilized people, starts to lose its connection to the communities it came from?
