Welcome to the first episode of The Sidebar, where Leise Winny & Royce mix pop culture, politics, and petty Black millennial commentary.

This week, we break down DMV vs ATL culture, whether AI music is ruining creativity, $20 Happy Meals, Offset & Cardi’s drama, relationship “closure,” gym weirdos, the wild Epstein emails, and why Nicki Minaj was randomly at the UN.
