It’s FRIED-DAY on Mornings With Mero! Mero, Mia Belle, Kaz, Shani Culture and DJ Kast One kick off the Friday show with jokes, wild childhood stories, old-school games and another round of Hip Hop Jeopardy. The crew also talks about artists getting booed early in their careers, including Lauryn Hill’s legendary Apollo story, while Mero shares his own experiences dealing with hecklers. Plus, the show gets nostalgic about growing up with outdoor games, basketball, board games and finding ways to stay entertained before everything was available at your fingertips. Then Mia Belle breaks down the highly anticipated Joe vs. Donell Jones Verzuz, with the crew discussing Donell Jones’ catalog, his performance and bringing out 702, while Joe comes ready to compete with powerful vocals and surprise appearances from 50 Cent, Yayo and Uncle Murda. The crew debates the battle and gives Joe the edge while celebrating the return of R&B competition. Plus, Jordan’s final day as an intern, more old-school slang, Hip Hop Jeopardy and plenty of unpredictable Friday energy!
