Hey, y'all, what's up? It's Loren LoRosa. And here is, and this is another episode of The Latest with Loren LoRosa. This is your Daily Dig on all things pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room, baby. Now, y'all know we always kick the episodes off checking in behind the scenes of the grind. Let's get to it.

So behind the scenes of the grind today, how am I feeling? Today, I'm feeling a bit more rested. I think this week has been a bit of a struggle. Everybody around me right now is sick, and I don't know what it is about it and or why. I'm just going to chalk it up to the fact that the season has been changing for like the last month. And in October, we're getting 75 degree days, but at the same time, it is also pretty freaking cold outside on other days. But yeah, everybody around me is sick. So I had a little snuffle, snuffle. I've been doing these last two weeks, all this ripping and running from the live show we did in Philly to the election coverage that we did to back at The Breakfast Club and back here on the podcast, so this with Loren LoRosa. Feeling not all the way up to par, but yesterday I got some rest. I went home. I went to sleep pretty early. I felt really irresponsible this morning when I woke up. Because I got so much sleep, I'll explain, because I went to bed way earlier than I typically do. I wasn't fully, I hadn't got to my notes or anything like that for the run of show, for The Breakfast Club, so I felt a bit irresponsible, but Lord, did I feel good. Still do. I am looking forward to going back to bed already.

I just am. I've literally just been scheduling these days and these moments and these times where I can rest in between things because it is important, ain't nobody going to tell me no different. So that is, that's where I'm at with it right now.

We today are coming off of a, I mean, a lot of things happening over the weekend. The election coverage is still, you know, a big conversation as well too. So let's go on into the latest. There's a lot to talk about.

Now, as we were, you know, voting and doing all the things we need to get on out there and do if you voted blue in this year's election, there's a lot of other things that are still happening in the celebrity world as well too. I know yesterday's episode, we talked a bit about the world's combining. Today, I'm taking you guys back on over to the celebrity side of things because while all of this was happening, music artists, rap star, Lil Durk, speaking of voting and judges and AGs and local people who are making decisions, he is up against a lot of local law enforcement, prosecutors, attorney generals, all the things over in LA still. Now, we know that Lil Durk was acquitted in the Murder for Hire trial that had to do with another music artist in the attempted killing of that artist. But he was acquitted. He was found not guilty on those charges. However, Durk is still behind bars awaiting trial for a separate recall case in LA. Now, there was a bail package that was put together by his attorneys, which included the likes of Jay Z, Jay Cole, Roc Nation, Mike Rubin, who formerly was heading up the Sixers and does everything with the Fanatics, and Fanatics Fest that is his company in reform. They all wrote letters for Durk.

In those letters, they talked about Durk and his character, and who he is as a person, and all these things. But a judge has not decided anything yet on whether or not he will be released on bail. Now, a lot of people thought that this week was going to be the week that we found that out. So you got election results happening, people were like, yes, so excited to hear and see where things have left off with that. But then on the other side of things, you have people who have been awaiting to see whether or not this release, at least until his next trial will be happening. And as of right now, nothing has happened and it's still being reviewed currently. But one of the conversations that have come out of the fact that a judge is still reviewing Durk's submission for release on bail, is a conversation about whether or not contraband and prison rules have been violated. So yesterday, prosecutors pushed back on Durk's bail package that he put together. And Durk's team is basically saying, we'll put dang near everything on the line. Everything from music royalties to touring and merch money to homes.
