It’s time for another round of ‘Quarantine Chronicles!‘ The latest episode welcomes REVOLT’s ‘State Of The Culture‘ host Eboni K. Williams.

During their conversation, Jason asked if Eboni still listens to R. Kelly, to which she quips, “No, but let me tell you an R. Kelly story.” She goes on to say how at 17, she and her college friends went to a concert — right after the first big mention that a tape came out. Eboni explains a friend she knew brought them backstage, but as soon as the Chicago singer saw them, he kicked them out for being “too old” and “too educated.”

When discussing President Trump, Eboni says she doesn’t buy into his malarkey, but does blame news outlets and some of these Americans who sensationalized his presidential campaign, that ultimately led to his election. After, they speak on Joy Villa and Omarosa’s own antics in supporting him.

Later, Jason and Eboni talk about Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian‘s big fight on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Eboni goes on to say that she “doesn’t know what [she’s] a fan of [or] aspiring to do,” when looking at the KarJenner family. When it comes to Kanye, she says she’s a fan of his talents and gifts, but knows that his past traumas are to blame for his wild antics.

On Boosie’s homophobic comments about Dwayne Wade’s transgender daughter Zaya, Jason updates that Boosie doubled down on his comments. Eboni responds by stating, “You shouldn’t be speaking on other people’s children, period.” The two then go on to talk about the LGBTQ community, and the role members play in the culture, music and entertainment.
