The Rickey Smiley Morning Show starts with a headline-grabbing lawsuit as Usher sues longtime collaborator Bryan-Michael Cox and several business partners over an unpaid $700,000 balance from a $1.7 million loan intended for a Buckhead restaurant project that never materialized. Usher, who has worked with Cox on classics like Burn and U Got It Bad, is now seeking up to $4.9 million in damages after court documents allege the loan money was misused rather than applied to the property purchase as agreed.

The crew then turns to disturbing new allegations against Motown legend Smokey Robinson, as a male accuser joins existing civil cases claiming Robinson sexually assaulted him in 2022—accusations Robinson denies. These lawsuits add to a growing list of Jane and John Doe filings that have put Robinson under intense public scrutiny. Finally, the show dives into breaking political news as the House votes overwhelmingly to release the long-sealed Epstein documents, with a near-unanimous 427–1 vote. The remaining paperwork is expected to move quickly through the Senate before heading to the President’s desk, raising anticipation for what high-profile names or communications might emerge once the files become public.
