Ed Lover kicks things off questioning the media frenzy surrounding Max B, calling out how gangster stories are often glamorized while the real harm — and real victims — get glossed over. From crime culture and power to why certain communities wear criminality like a badge of honor, the conversation gets honest fast.

Things heat up as Ed doesn’t hold back on his deep disappointment in Nicki Minaj, questioning her recent moves, motives, and whether branding has completely overshadowed artistry in today’s music industry. From “branding culture” gone wild to artists losing the plot, Ed and Mrs. Fruit debate what it really means to be an artist versus a brand.

Ep. #372: He Beat the RICO… But Did He Beat the Truth?

cmonsonthepodcast@gmail.com (Ed Lover) — Sun, 6 Jul 2025 17:25:00 +0000

Back with another unfiltered episode, Ed Lover and Mrs. Fruit dive headfirst into the explosive updates surrounding Sean "Diddy" Combs—starting with his RICO charge being dropped due to lack of evidence. While some folks are out here celebrating with baby oil (yes, really), Ed and Fruit keep it real: Diddy may be sober now, but he still has to reckon with a whole lot of past behavior.

The duo explores how drugs, ego, and money fueled Diddy’s chaos, especially in his relationship with Cassie, and how boundaries go out the window when power is unchecked. Fruit saw the signs way back during Making the Band, and Ed shares a personal parallel from his own past.

They break down Judge Mathis’ take on sentencing, why Diddy is still being held without bail, and Fruit's insights into what Cassie allegedly said about Diddy being a danger to witnesses.

Plus, Ed delivers a much-needed PSA to Black men chasing wealth and status: Don’t let the money make you forget who you are.

🔥 And of course, Ed is back with his infamous C’Mon Son! Roast, taking aim at Malik Beasley, Remy Ma, the never-ending Ja Rule vs. 50 Cent drama, and more!

cmonsonthepodcast@gmail.com (Ed Lover) — Thu, 26 Jun 2025 19:28:00 +0000

Ed Lover and Mrs. Fruit are BACK — and they’ve got time today.

This week, they take a flamethrower to Billboard’s 75 Greatest R&B Artists of All Time list and let’s just say... this list SUCKS.

👀 Alicia Keys before Babyface??
😤 Donna Summer ahead of Mary J?!
🤯 Frank Ocean over legends?!
Ed and Fruit dive DEEP into the top 27 names and call it like they see it: Black people didn’t make this list. Period.

But that’s not all…

🔥 BREAKING DIDDY NEWS:
Several charges dropped — including arson, kidnapping, and some sex trafficking counts. Ed’s calling it now: Diddy may not see more jail time. Nasty? Yes. Illegal? Maybe not. Freak-offs ain't felonies!

😔 Ed opens up about how the Daphne Joy allegations actually made him sad, and he pleads with listeners: “Stop belittling yourself for money.”
💬 Mrs. Fruit chimes in: “What is it really worth?”

💸 FASHION RANT INCOMING:
B. Simone said she had to scale down from Bloomingdale’s to H&M, and Ed said: Girl, Walmart draws are undefeated. Fruit puts us on to high-low fashion, thrift fits, and how to slay without breaking the bank.

🎵 Ed & Fruit also weigh in on Cardi B’s new track and a particular low blow lyric that might’ve gone too far…

💥 Fruit of the Week: Offset. AGAIN. Why? He might be lowkey jealous of Stephon Diggs… and now he’s out here dating Diggs’ ex. Messy!

And of course…
🔥 C’MON SON! ROAST OF THE WEEK:
Billboard. Diddy prosecutors. Iman Shumpert. And anyone else who’s earned the smoke.

Ep. #370: Juneteenth & Bullsh**

cmonsonthepodcast@gmail.com (Ed Lover) — Thu, 19 Jun 2025 17:38:00 +0000

🎙️ New Episode: “We Tried to Tell You!” — A Juneteenth Celebration (and a Whole Lotta Smoke) 🎙️

HAPPY JUNETEENTH, FAM! 🇺🇸✊🏾

Ed Lover and Mrs. Fruit are back with a loud, proud, and unapologetically Black episode just in time for the culture. Mrs. Fruit keeps it real — she just found out Juneteenth is a federal holiday (girl, same!), and Ed takes us back to the roots: June 19th, 1865. Real history. Real talk.

Ed admits he’s clocking in this year, but next year? It’s a wrap. He’s putting his foot down and taking Juneteenth off — period. But we better enjoy it while we can… before Trump tries to overturn it like everything else.

This episode is full of “WTF is happening?!” moments:
👀 The head of Latinos for Trump allegedly getting deported?
🪖 Trump’s sad, silent tank parade?
🧠 Diddy’s trial dominating the headlines with no real evidence?
🤯 Tyler Perry accused of sexual assault?

Ed and Mrs. Fruit also break down R. Kelly’s rumored overdose behind bars, joke about Trump possibly pardoning him (Lord…), and remind us that Diddy is out here being labeled the Grand Master Freak — while choosing NOT to speak in court and defend himself before he potentially faces some serious charges..

PLUS: A little New Jack Swing nostalgia, Master P dropping the "Master," and more Juneteenth vibes.

And of course — the C'Mon Son! Roast is back with Ed going all in on Tesla, Honda, Tyler Perry, Will Smith, and yes… Elon Musk. 😤

Tap in for an episode that’s as Black, bold, and unfiltered as it gets. C’Mon Son! The Podcast — where real talk lives.

Ed Lover and Mrs. Fruit are back from celebrating 10 beautiful years of marriage—and straight into the chaos!

They call out people doing the most on social media about their relationships (looking at you, Remy & Papoose), give Clarissa Shields some real advice on staying focused, and break down what’s really going on with Jim Jones allegedly losing it all. Plus: the latest Diddy trial updates and a full recap of the BET Awards. The love is real, but the internet drama? Out of control.

Ep. #368: Mouthwash, Marriage & Madness: 10 Years of Black Love & Wild Opinions

cmonsonthepodcast@gmail.com (Ed Lover) — Sat, 31 May 2025 17:26:00 +0000

It’s another wild and honest ride with Ed Lover and Mrs. Fruit!

Ed kicks off this episode with a $100 mistake — all she needed was mouthwash, and somehow came back with only $20 change. Wait... From there, things get real.

Fruit calls Ed out for ignoring her advice until he hears it from someone else — and every married woman listening says AMEN. As the couple prepares to celebrate 10 years of marriage (!!!), they open up about what keeps them going, what Black Love looks like in real life, and how you really know when you’ve found “your person.”

Ed and Fruit break down relationship dealbreakers, pop-the-balloon show madness, and why some of the “hot girls” from back in the day are still single. Fruit says, “Ain’t nobody trying to grow old alone!”

Ed also shares a hilarious take on what his life would be like if he wasn’t married (spoiler: it’s giving chaos ), why his sister’s trip to England was an awakening, and they both get into the latest on the Diddy case — plus Trump’s wild list of celebrity pardons, from Lil Wayne to the Chrisleys.

Top it all off with Mrs. Fruit’s Fruit of the Week and Ed’s legendary C’Mon Son! roast, and you’ve got an episode packed with laughs, love, and LOTS of “Did they really just say that?!”

Ep. #367: Why?

cmonsonthepodcast@gmail.com (Ed Lover) — Fri, 23 May 2025 19:35:00 +0000

“WHY?!” – That’s the question on Ed Lover’s mind this week.

From Diddy’s explosive trial to Chris Brown’s latest legal woes, Ed wants to know—why are Black men constantly getting locked up while their white counterparts skate by? He breaks down the troubling trend with names like R. Kelly, Mystikal, Young Thug, Lauryn Hill, Fat Joe, and even himself in the mix—meanwhile, Trump and Kevin Spacey out here free as ever.

Mrs. Fruit claps back with some justification behind those charges—but Ed’s still asking “WHY?”... especially when Diddy’s alleged behavior makes R. Kelly look tame! Semen and nipples?! Ed says Diddy might just be the Grand Master Freak of them all.

Plus, Ed and Fruit take a wild ride through celebrity messiness—from the Cannes photographer who tried the WRONG one (Denzel Washington!), to Megan Thee Stallion’s conflicting stories, to Chris Brown’s million-dollar bail.

Need a break from the madness? They lighten it up with a nostalgic trip through childhood candy—Now & Laters, Lemonheads, Boston Baked Beans—and throwback soda faves.

And you already know what time it is:
Fruit of the Week
C’Mon Son! Roast
Up this week: Chris Brown, the LA Lakers, Diddy, Taco Bell’s new chicken nuggets (WHY?!), and more foolishness from pop culture’s finest.

Tap in. It’s a full ride this week.

Ep. #366: Same Day, New Bullsh**

It’s the same day, just new B.S.! In this raw and unfiltered episode of C’Mon Son! The Podcast, Ed Lover opens up about real love vs. the illusion of love—revealing why he used to hate when women told him “I love you” and why he believed they were only in love with the idea of him, not the man behind the fame. Mrs. Fruit dives in to challenge his take, sparking a passionate back-and-forth about love, loss, and relationships that can’t survive the storm.

From Teyana & Iman, Cardi & Offset, to Cassie & Diddy, and even Halle Bailey & DDG (Mrs. Fruit’s FRUIT OF THE WEEK ) — Ed and Fruit explore the dark side of picture-perfect love and the rise of messy SITUATIONSHIPS. What is a situationship anyway? Mrs. Fruit breaks it down with no filter—and no sympathy for the Gen Z dating game.

Ed also makes a bold confession: if things ever ended with Mrs. Fruit, it’s situationships only from here on out. PERIOD. Plus, Ed shares his honest thoughts on the Megan Thee Stallion & Tory Lanez saga (new tea is spilling ), Cardi B & Stephon Diggs rumors, and how his own “wounded bird” phase shaped his past.

And you already know—it wouldn’t be C’Mon Son! without the roasts. Mrs. Fruit delivers her Fruit of the Week and Ed is back swinging with his iconic C’Mon Son! takedown—this time, the spotlight is hot on Diddy and Black Hollywood!

Ed Lover comes in HOT, kicking things off with a question for Mrs. Fruit: "When did you stop giving a sh*t about The Grammys?" Her answer? "Years ago. They’re wack. I just don’t care." And with that, the conversation begins!

🔥 The Grammys Breakdown:

The long history of Grammy boycotts and hip-hop snubs
The lack of transparency in the voting process
Kendrick’s well-deserved Grammy sweep!
The Babyface red carpet SNUB—disrespectful!
Chappell Roan? Or is it "Shapel Roman" (crying 😂) – bootleg Cyndi Lauper vibes?

🎶 Beyoncé Wins Big & Country Music’s Gatekeeping

Queen Bey finally gets her Album of the Year moment with Cowboy Carter!
But WHY does country music feel like it can’t open up to everyone?!
Why is it okay for Post Malone to do country but NOT Beyoncé?
Ed says he’s about to drop a country album—WE TAKIN’ OVER!

⚰️ RIP Irv Gotti – Ed, Mrs. Fruit, and Gotti all came from the same area.

Ed sends a message to 50 Cent after his post: CHILL OUT.
Plus, Ed claims Mrs. Fruit was BMF! 😂

💰 Trump Talk:

Gaza, job struggles, gas prices, and grocery prices SKYROCKETING
Ed has a message for Trump: STOP STARTING SH*T!

👀 Kanye & The Grammys

OH. MY. GOD. His wife is allowing the exploitation.
Ed asks: WHERE did Kanye find his wife?!

🎤 Finally! Rapsody wins a Grammy!

cmonsonthepodcast@gmail.com (Ed Lover) — Thu, 30 Jan 2025 02:33:42 +0000

This week, it’s all about LOSE ONE—the game where you pick between two (or three) things, but once you lose one, IT AND everything associated with IT is GONE forever! Ed and Mrs. Fruit go head-to-head, making some tough calls that are sure to stir up debate.

🍹 Round 1: Margaritas or Espresso Martinis? Coffee or Tea? Almond Milk or Oat Milk?

📺 Round 2: The Wayans, Fresh Prince, or Martin? (Ed makes a SHOCKING choice!)

🥪 Round 3: Everything Lox Bagel vs. Chopped Cheese vs. the legendary "Mrs. Fruit Sandwich"—which one is erased from existence?

🥓 Round 4: Grits w/ Cheese vs. Eggs w/ Cheese? Turkey Bacon or Turkey Sausage? Bagel or English Muffin?

🥟 Round 5: NYC’s best beef patties—Queens, Brooklyn, or The Bronx?

🎶 Round 6: Public Enemy, Wu-Tang, or Run DMC? New Edition, Boyz II Men, or Jodeci? Gladys Knight or Patti LaBelle?

And the game doesn’t stop there! More impossible choices, more debates, and more wild eliminations await. Who—or what—gets cut next? Listen now to find out! 🎙🔥

Ep. #350: Trump in Hip-Hop, Crypto Controversy, and Ed Lover for President 2028

cmonsonthepodcast@gmail.com (Ed Lover) — Fri, 24 Jan 2025 01:41:10 +0000

In this episode of C'Mon Son! The Podcast, Ed Lover is back with his unfiltered takes, joined by the always candid Mrs. Fruit! The duo dives straight into the hot topics, starting with a warm (or not-so-warm) welcome to the new president. Ed runs down some executive orders that kicked off this new term and isn’t holding back on his thoughts about politicians—he’s calling out the crooks on BOTH sides. "F*** ’em all!" he declares.

Ed also breaks down why the middle class ALWAYS gets the short end of the stick, why big corporations keep winning, and how he’s only not a Republican because he actually cares about people. With comparisons to gang life and some tough truths about political agendas (looking at you, Biden and Kamala), Ed even toys with the idea of running for president in 2028. Spoiler: His presidency would be a wild ride!

The conversation then shifts to Los Angeles, wildfires, and some real talk about the city’s future (hint: Mrs. Fruit says LA might become a ghost town). They also send their heartfelt sympathies to those impacted by the devastating fires.

Next, Ed and Mrs. Fruit unpack the drama at the Cryptoball—why Snoop caught the most heat, Nelly should’ve stayed quiet, and why Soulja Boy’s performance didn’t hit. Oh, and while Snoop is deep in crypto, Rick Ross? Let’s just say he’s not exactly seen as a leader, no shade.

Plus, Ed reflects on hip-hop’s complicated relationship with Donald Trump, how Black culture made certain brands hot (hello, Hennessey, Reebok, Grey Goose, Adidas plus many many more), and Chrisette Michelle’s fallout from Trump’s inauguration. Lastly, they rant about Netflix raising their prices AGAIN.

This episode is raw, real, and absolutely Ed Lover. Tune in for laughs, rants, and plenty of “C’mon Son!” moments.

Ep. #349 Here We Go Again: Love and Loyalty

cmonsonthepodcast@gmail.com (Ed Lover) — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 17:07:00 +0000

In this fiery episode of C'Mon Son! The Podcast, Ed Lover and his wife, Mrs. Fruit, take a deep dive into the streets' latest claim that "Black Love is dead." Ed fiercely disagrees, arguing that shock value fuels this narrative, not reality. Together, they explore the universal quest for love and companionship, with Mrs. Fruit dropping gems on how women can attract and keep a good man—hint: it’s about prioritizing yourself and not holding auditions!

They hilariously clash over marriage advice, with Ed advocating for simplicity while Mrs. Fruit emphasizes communication. The duo also gives a nod to hip-hop legends LL Cool J and Slick Rick, celebrating their iconic hits. And in a heated debate, they tackle what truly makes someone "from" a place and whether it's cool or foul for Michelle Obama to skip Trump's inauguration.

This episode is packed with love, laughs, and a bit of controversy—don't miss it!

In this lively episode of C'Mon Son! The Podcast, Ed Lover invites his wife, Vanessa (a.k.a. Mrs. Fruit), into the spotlight as they debate the need for "glam" in their home studio if the podcast goes visual on YouTube. What starts as a casual chat turns into a hilarious marital showdown over who has more shoes and who takes longer to get ready. They reminisce about their childhood possessions and reflect on their fashion evolution, with Ed confessing his love for new clothes and the styles of New York. The couple also dives into the complexities of "Women Tendencies" and the messy tendencies of both genders, leading to some wild personal stories—including Ed throwing a drink at an executive! Wrapping up, they offer candid thoughts on the future of politics with a discussion on Trump and Kamala. Don't miss this fun, fiery, and thought-provoking episode!

Ed Lover and Mrs. Fruit are kicking off the year with a bang in this week’s episode of C’Mon Son! The Podcast, aptly titled "The Shit Done Started!"

From the shocking New Year’s Day Massacre in New Orleans to upcoming wild weather hitting the entire country, even Atlanta where it NEVER really snows (global warming, y’all), the duo dives into a chaotic January (WE KNOW - IT'S ONLY THE 2ND DAY INTO 2025). They tackle everything from the Cybertruck explosion, government raids, and nightclub violence to the realization of a convicted felon in the White House running our country for the next four years.

With their signature humor and straight-up truths, Ed and Mrs. Fruit also drop a heartfelt message for caregivers and take a hard look at the future of government drones. It’s raw, real, and unfiltered—just how you like it!

Ep. #345: SOS = Save Our Souls or Stuck On Stupid?

cmonsonthepodcast@gmail.com (Ed Lover) — Mon, 23 Dec 2024 00:49:00 +0000

This week, Ed Lover and Mrs. Fruit are serving up the truth like only they can: raw, unfiltered, and straight to the point. From international travel gone wrong—like the man in Dubai who learned the hard way that ignorance of the law isn’t a free pass—to the Cybertruck debate, they’ve got thoughts you need to hear.

Ed and Fruit tackle how we, as a community, stay “Stuck on Stupid,” whether it’s chasing clout, failing to protect our assets, or blindly supporting billionaires like Elon Musk without reading the fine print. Plus, why do we let pop culture figures like Kim Kardashian slip into roles that don’t fit?

They’ll break down why new artists need to break out of the “viral moment” trap, why paying attention to laws, culture, and world events is crucial, and why focusing on things like Biden’s clemency for BMF members distracts us from the real issues—like the crumbling infrastructure right under our feet.

This episode is a no-holds-barred reality check. If you’re ready to laugh, think, and maybe even save your soul, press play! ✊🏾

C’Mon Son!—because it’s time to wake up.

It's 2024 and everybody got a problem with somebody! Comedians got beef, Relationship exes got beef, it's political beef and it can even be a beef over what you believe! It's so much beef but we still can't stop taking the lives of the people that look like us nor do we want to support the people and respect and love them the way we should when they choose to stay in their communities in an effort to help.

I do my best to unpack all this beefing and pay homage to my friend and Hip-Hop Pioneer, Jam Master Jay as the NYPD have finally solved the case of his tragic demise.

C'Mon Son! The Podcast Series #5 Episode #53: Exponential Living with Sheri Riley

cmonsonthepodcast@gmail.com (Ed Lover) — Mon, 8 Jan 2018 16:36:54 +0000

With new year's resolutions manifesting, C'Mon Son! The Podcast wants to help our listeners stay on track of becoming a better version of themselves in 2018.

Personal development fuels career growth, so trusting yourself, knowing yourself and living your best life can yield a life one never even knew existed; and to help you achieve those goals this year is our guest for the week - Atlanta's (and Kentucky native) own empowerment enthusiast, author Sheri Riley.

Nominated for an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work (she literally finds out this week if she won but we went ahead and claimed her victory for her), Mrs. Riley opens up with Ed Lover about how we aren't living out our full potential because we keep spending 100% of our time on only 10% of who WE really are.

We hope this episode can add value to your new year. Enjoy.

"High achievers believe if they keep pressing toward their professional and career goals, their personal lives will eventually take care of themselves. But it doesn't work that way..."

C'Mon Son! The Podcast Series #4 Episode #34: Pras

cmonsonthepodcast@gmail.com (Ed Lover) — Mon, 31 Jul 2017 14:23:19 +0000

Lauryn Hill thought "Killing Me Softly" was only an album cut, not a number one record.

Each member from the Fugees only received a little bit over $1000 for "The Score," which was the number one album in the country (pop and hip-hop/R&B charts).

The Fugees first album only sold 4 copies. Not 4,000. Not 400. F-O-U-R.

These are just a few of the many gems we learned from sitting down and having a one-on-one session with founding member of The Fugees, Pras. From his current relationship with all the members, to how he really felt about the Wyclef-Lauryn Hill debacle, you will for sure love this episode. Enjoy.

Ed will tell you: "C'Mon Son!" wouldn't exist if it wasn't for this man right here featured on this episode.

If it wasn't for DJ Drama playing a Gucci record at a Jeezy party during the height of the Gucci-Jeezy rap beef, Ed wouldn't have even coined the term "C'Mon Son."

C'Mon Son! The Podcast Series #2 Episode #13: Drumma Boy, w/an appearance from K. Michelle

cmonsonthepodcast@gmail.com (Ed Lover) — Mon, 20 Feb 2017 15:21:40 +0000

Well this is the first time one of our interview's has went viral before we could even post it online. We're talking about reality TV star K.Michelle's surprise pop-in & ultimate "TREATING" (for those who don't know, being "treated" is a coined Chicago term, meaning 'dissing' or 'clowning,' or an attempt to put a person in one's place) of Ed Lover during his interview with one of hip-hop's favorite super producers, Drumma Boy.

What was predicted to be a one-on-one chill convo with Drumma, completely went left when K.Michelle popped in to say hey to her fellow Memphis homie, BUT she peeped that Drum was being interview by no one other than the Ed Lover. She then took that opportunity to vent but both parties involved were able to find common ground and ultimately, become new friends.

With that being said - check out what was supposed to be an interview with Drumma Boy, take a left, then come right back around and end with, well...Drumma. Enjoy.

C'Mon Son! The Podcast Series #2 Episode #11: A Chat with Chubb Rock with Ed Lover and Monie Love

cmonsonthepodcast@gmail.com (Ed Lover) — Mon, 6 Feb 2017 15:49:27 +0000

Before Fat Joe, before The Fat Boys, before Notorious B.I.G., there was the Chubbster, famously known as Chubb Rock.

Richard Simpson paved the way for "big guys" to be taken seriously in the rap game. Heavy D was known to be heavy and a ladies man, however Chubb took it to a whole other level; chubby but intelligent.

From working with Al B. Sure, to MC Serch, to Redman, Doug E. Fresh plus many more...to discovering Lady of Rage; to ghostwriting for greats like The Beastie Boys and P.Diddy in his early days...Chubb gave us so many hip-hop hits, not to mention his feature on the oh-so epic, "Back To The Grill Again."

So kick back and enjoy our conversation with the one and only Chubb Rock.

On this Martin Luther King Day, o'g Ed Lover breaks down "cool" with young g, emerging rap artist Nick Grant. As the buzz of Nick's newly released album "Return of the Cool" stays on the incline, Ed challenges Nick to define what separates him from "mumble rappers," when did cool leave and the value of hip-hop origins in today's rap (ex. - if it wasn't for Rakim, there's no Nas; without Nas, there's no Nick Grant, etc.).

C'Mon Son! The Podcast Series #1 Episode #6: A Chat w| former L.A. drug kingpin "Freeway Rick" Ross

cmonsonthepodcast@gmail.com (Ed Lover) — Mon, 2 Jan 2017 15:15:46 +0000

Associated as the head culprit of the crack-cocaine epidemic that spanned across the U.S., Richard Donnell "Freeway Rick" Ross at one point had a business worth well over over $500 million in the 80s, due to his strategic methods used to distribute kilos of cocaine across the country at a bargain price.

From buying out the bar to living behind bars, Ross' trademark, famously known as "ready rock," landed him in prison, but never the less, made him iconic as ready rock made drug dealer's distribution process easier; the stimulant was immediately ready to be used and there was no need for additional processing.

On this week's episode of "C'mon Son," the original Rick Ross takes our listeners on a personal and honest journey from "ready-rock" to rehabilitated.

cmonsonthepodcast@gmail.com (Ed Lover) — Mon, 26 Dec 2016 16:34:31 +0000

What happened to 90's girl groups?

Girl groups and the 90s go together like LeBron James and a basketball court. But, why is it that 90s girl groups, or girl groups in general, don't stay together very long?

The group "702" gave us hits like 'Stee-Lo' and the early-Pharrell produced chart topper, 'I Still Love You...' but when Meelah Williams sat down with Ed Lover, she told him even though the group saw success, not everything that glitters is gold.

Check out our 5th episode of "C'Mon Son! The Podcast," our conversation with 90's R&B great, the lead singer of 702, Meelah Williams.
