Things got heated fast on The Rickey Smiley Morning Show as the crew tackled President Donald Trump’s refusal to apologize to Pope Leo XIV after blasting him over the Iran conflict and posting — then deleting — an AI image that appeared to depict Trump as Jesus. Trump insists the image was meant to show him “as a doctor,” a claim that sparked backlash from religious leaders and even some of his own supporters, turning the moment into a rare and messy public standoff between a sitting president and the Vatican.

Sports and culture news kept the momentum going, starting with reports that players on the Chicago Sky were quietly relieved after Angel Reese was traded to the Atlanta Dream, with anonymous insiders describing lingering locker-room tension during her time in Chicago. Meanwhile, boxing legend Floyd “Money” Mayweather is facing renewed scrutiny after the IRS filed a $7.3 million federal tax lien, adding fuel to speculation that his recent exhibition bouts may be driven by cash-flow issues rather than competition. Rounding out the episode, fans were stunned when New Edition failed to make the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2026 — despite winning the fan vote — reigniting debate over how the Hall values R&B and Black legacy artists, with even fellow inductees publicly calling the snub unfair.
