Speaker 1: And it's time now to check Steve's voicemail. If you
Speaker 1: would like to leave a message for Steve, call him
Speaker 1: eight seven seven twenty nine. Steve eight seven seven twenty nine. Steve,
Speaker 1: you might just hear your call on the air. This one,
Speaker 1: Steve is from Wilma.
Speaker 2: Steve Harvey, one of my favorite, favorite favorite people. I
Speaker 2: love your show. I watch it every morning. But my
Speaker 2: name is Wilma Ferguson, and I am calling about Jay Malatma,
Speaker 2: the Memphis Grizzly basketball player. I am asking mute and
Speaker 2: the men that you know, just take this young man
Speaker 2: in y'all's grasp, surround.
Speaker 3: Him, give him some spiritual guidance, give him the guidance
Speaker 3: of your knowledge and experiences of you and all of
Speaker 3: your colleagues have with the positioning that he's in.
Speaker 2: He is screaming for help, and I am screaming and
Speaker 2: praying that you guys will go and get this young
Speaker 2: man and talk to him and give him the wisdom
Speaker 2: and encouragement that you need to protect himself and his family.
Speaker 2: Include this spot, we will be praying for him. Thank you.
Speaker 2: I love the station.
Speaker 3: Have a goodnessess, God.
Speaker 4: Bless you well. I mean what you're saying is great.
Speaker 4: Its way, It's hard to get to people even based
Speaker 4: even on who you are, because people have to accept it.
Speaker 4: And I don't know who he's surrounded by, but it's
Speaker 4: been very challenging for a number of people I know
Speaker 4: to reach out to him because you got to get
Speaker 4: through to get to him. You know, we ain't got
Speaker 4: to sell number now, you know, and you know, so
Speaker 4: how do you get through? You got to understand this too,
Speaker 4: and I think prayer is the way to make this happen.
Speaker 4: But a lot of people like this are surrounded people
Speaker 4: who who have protected interests in this young man is
Speaker 4: around him. He got an agent, he got a lawyer,
Speaker 4: he got a finance guy. They are all in cohoots
Speaker 4: with this, and if they ain't got enough sense to
Speaker 4: protect their asset, this is the most ridiculous thing I've
Speaker 4: ever seen. But see, when you surround yourself with people
Speaker 4: who genuinely do not care about you, but only care
Speaker 4: about the money you make, it's hard to get through
Speaker 4: to him. I tried talking with this kid. You know,
Speaker 4: y'all know the little African dude that be on TikTok.
Speaker 4: He don't talk, but he imitates stuff. Yeah, he's real popular.
Speaker 4: I met him in Abu Dhabi. I pulled this young
Speaker 4: man off to the side. This white woman followed us
Speaker 4: right over into the corner. I said, excuse me, I'm
Speaker 4: having a private conversation with him. I listened to all
Speaker 4: his conversations. He doesn't speak English well, he speaking English good,
Speaker 4: and he's flag I'm black. So I put him to
Speaker 4: the side again. She walked her ass right back over
Speaker 4: there and said, I don't allow him to speak with
Speaker 4: people alone. I said, lady, he gonna talk to me
Speaker 4: by myself. You at my gat. You're gonna get your
Speaker 4: ass way from me. That you can stand next to
Speaker 4: him all you want to, but you gonna get your
Speaker 4: ass away from me. And if that's what happens, And
Speaker 4: guess what that organization stole over twenty million dollars from
Speaker 4: this young man. He was the hottest thing on TikTok.
Speaker 4: Now he got a new group around him. But that's
Speaker 4: what I was trying to pull his coat to. But
Speaker 4: I saw the way they tried to shield him. Y'all
Speaker 4: has people around him who have a protected interest, and
Speaker 4: they not doing the right thing by this young man,
Speaker 4: including his father. And when you've been a coddle athlete
Speaker 4: your whole life.
Speaker 2: It's people who.
Speaker 4: Have a vested interest in your success because his success
Speaker 4: has now become their success. And that's the dangerous part
Speaker 4: right here. And any time they allow him to make
Speaker 4: the same mistake sixty days after he had to pay
Speaker 4: for that same mistake, something's wrong here. If you got
Speaker 4: a circle of friends who ain't smart enough to go, look,
Speaker 4: y'all don't make wise decisions. Y'all got to know your
Speaker 4: ass can't have another live video with him nowhere in
Speaker 4: it now who ain't figured that out yet? For us
Speaker 4: to get over that by him, we got to cut
Speaker 4: through a whole lot of stuff I wish I could
Speaker 4: see with that young man and his father. And it
Speaker 4: ain't that I know everything, but I know a whole
Speaker 4: lot of what not to do a right and it's
Speaker 4: a damn chamber. He got to learn it the hard way.
Speaker 4: But this finna cost him hundreds of few months ago.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you for your call, and coming
Speaker 1: up next to birthday boy with today's prank phone call.
Speaker 1: Right after this, you're listening Morning show
