The Trent Out Loud Show - Daily Takes on Pop Culture, News & Headlines

Send us Fan MailThe recent arrest of Thierno Jalloh in connection with the tragic passing of Javits Frimpong has reignited a heated debate between African immigrants and Foundational Black Americans (FBA), exposing deep divisions within the Black diaspora.Since Javits Frimpong’s passing, accusations, assumptions, and disagreements have spread across social media, with some African immigrants and Foundational Black Americans pointing fingers at one another. What should have been a moment of collective mourning and a united demand for justice has turned into a larger conversation about identity, ancestry, entitlement, and belonging.On the Trent Out Loud YouTube channel, I have consistently called for unity across the Black diaspora. Whether you are African American, African, Caribbean, Black Canadian, Black European, or from anywhere else in the world, I believe our shared humanity and common struggles should bring us together rather than divide us.In today’s video, we’re going beyond the arrest to explore the fundamental beliefs and values of the FBA movement, why some Foundational Black Americans feel the way they do, and why tensions exist between different communities within the Black diaspora.My goal is not to attack or dismiss anyone’s identity, history, or beliefs. It is to encourage understanding, challenge misconceptions, and create space for meaningful conversations about the divisions that continue to separate us.I will share my perspective first, and then I want to hear yours.The comment section is open for an honest, respectful, and peaceful discussion. Whether you agree or disagree, everyone deserves to be heard. I will be joining the conversation because I believe understanding one another is the first step toward unity.Our differences should not prevent us from recognizing the larger imbalances of power that affect our communities. We may not agree on everything, but we can still work toward justice, equality, and a stronger future together.Can the Black diaspora overcome its divisions, or are we becoming more divided than ever?https://www.trentoutloud.com/ For inquiries: [email protected]  JOIN THE TRENT OUT LOUD MEMBERSHIP PERKS PROGRAM.   Hit that "Hype" button below.   Follow us on all social platforms @thetrentoutloudshow & @trentoutloud   POWERED BY TRENT OUT LOUD NETWORK INC.Support the showThanks for listening!

Send us Fan MailThe NYPD has officially made an arrest in the investigation into the tragic passing of 15-year-old Javits Frimpong, and the timing is significant. The arrest came on the very same day that Reverend Al Sharpton, and Javits’s family held an emotional press conference demanding justice and accountability.A 17-year-old suspect has been arrested in connection with the October 29 shooting in the Bronx.In what was one of the most heartbreaking press conferences I’ve ever watched, we heard powerful stories about Javits’s life, his dreams, and the family he leaves behind.His father recalled picking him up at JFK Airport exactly one year and one day before his passing and how excited Javits was to begin his new life in America. His mother, Doris Adu-Gyamfi, delivered an emotional plea for justice, sharing that Javits was her only child.We also heard from his sister, a military veteran, who revealed that Javits dreamed of becoming a physician but was determined to serve in the military first, following in the footsteps of his siblings. He even asked her to save her military uniform for him.Javits’s cousin, who was like an older brother to him, explained why the family deliberately chose Veterans Day for their press conference and shared more heartbreaking memories of the young man.We’ll break down everything said at the press conference, Reverend Al Sharpton’s powerful message about unity, and the ongoing tensions between African immigrants, Black Americans, and Foundational Black Americans (FBA).We’ll also discuss the school’s response, allegations of bullying, the arrest, the criminal charges, and what could happen next as investigators continue searching for answers.As always, I encourage everyone to join the conversation in the comment section. Let’s have a healthy, respectful discussion about justice, accountability, and unity across the Black diaspora.https://www.trentoutloud.com/ For inquiries: [email protected]  JOIN THE TRENT OUT LOUD MEMBERSHIP PERKS PROGRAM.   Hit that "Hype" button below.   Follow us on all social platforms @thetrentoutloudshow & @trentoutloud   POWERED BY TRENT OUT LOUD NETWORK INC.Support the showThanks for listening!

Send us Fan MailThe University of Mississippi, better known as Ole Miss, and Alaina Kunes is back in the headlines after disturbing Ring camera footage involving Alaina and two other young women went viral and sparked international outrage.Over the past 48 hours, Alaina Kunes has released a public statement and apology following the controversy. We’re going to break down exactly what she said, and I’m going to explain why I personally do not believe her apology was sincere or genuine and why I reject it.We’re also going to discuss what’s happening with the second young woman involved. Although her alleged identity has circulated online, she has not been publicly identified by the university or confirmed by major news outlets. We’ll discuss where things currently stand with her, along with additional information surrounding the third young woman, whose identity also remains publicly unconfirmed.I’m also going to play an interview featuring the three Black women who were subjected to this disturbing incident: Jakiyra Metcalf, Kaiyden Caldwell, and Victoria G. Johnson. They describe what happened when they confronted the group, including their allegation that the second young woman continued making offensive gestures even after being approached.According to the women, Alaina apologized during the confrontation and claimed that they had been making similar gestures at other doors as well.But here’s my biggest issue with that explanation: As of right now, I have not seen any additional Ring camera footage showing these women making similar animal or ape-like gestures at other homes. Until there’s independent evidence supporting that claim, I’m not prepared to accept it as fact.A lot has happened over the past 48 hours, and we’re going to recap the developments, examine the public apology, discuss the response from the university, and look at the growing calls for accountability.Then, of course, I’m turning it over to you. Do you believe the apology was sincere? Should the university take further disciplinary action? And what does accountability look like in a situation like this?Let me know what you think in the comment section below. I look forward to having a healthy and respectful discussion with all of you right here on the Trent Out Loud YouTube channel.https://www.trentoutloud.com/ For inquiries: [email protected]  JOIN THE TRENT OUT LOUD MEMBERSHIP PERKS PROGRAM.   Hit that "Hype" button below.   Follow us on all social platforms @thetrentoutloudshow & @trentoutloud   POWERED BY TRENT OUT LOUD NETWORK INC.Support the showThanks for listening!

Send us Fan MailMississippi is back in the national spotlight after three white women were caught on a Ring doorbell camera outside an apartment occupied by three Black female students at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss). The disturbing footage shows two of the women making monkey noises and gestures, sparking outrage and demands for accountability.The video quickly went viral, prompting the university to publicly condemn the behavior and launch an investigation. However, no disciplinary action has been publicly confirmed.This incident is another disturbing reminder of the racism Black students continue to face, but it also demonstrates the incredible power of the people. Your views, shares, comments, and voices helped bring national attention to this incident and increased pressure for accountability.Now that the world is watching, we cannot allow the pressure to disappear. Accountability must follow.There is also an important warning: names of alleged participants have been circulating online, and at least one individual has reportedly been misidentified. We must be responsible and avoid creating another injustice while demanding justice for those who were targeted.On the Trent Out Loud YouTube channel, we’re breaking down the incident, the university’s response, the investigation, and why public pressure matters.Justice requires accountability, but it also requires accuracy.https://www.trentoutloud.com/ For inquiries: [email protected]  JOIN THE TRENT OUT LOUD MEMBERSHIP PERKS PROGRAM.   Hit that "Hype" button below.   Follow us on all social platforms @thetrentoutloudshow & @trentoutloud   POWERED BY TRENT OUT LOUD NETWORK INC.#OleMiss #UniversityOfMississippi #Mississippi #BlackStudents #CampusRacism #Racism #Accountability #CivilRights #BlackCommunity #BlackVoices #SocialJustice #BreakingNews #TrentOutLoudSupport the showThanks for listening!

Send us Fan MailThe race for the U.S. Senate in Mississippi is heating up, and Democrat Scott Colom, the NAACP, and voting rights advocates are fighting to make sure every legally cast vote is counted.Yesterday, we broke down Scott Colom’s background, his statements demanding transparency and accountability in the Nolan Xavier Wells and Kohen Wiley cases, and why his potential victory could be historic for Mississippi.Today, the battle has intensified. Scott Colom is narrowly leading Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith, with thousands of ballots still being reviewed. Both sides have brought in attorneys and exchanged legal letters over how affidavit ballots should be handled.Republicans are demanding that affidavit ballots be separated and preserved, while Colom’s legal team argues that those demands could violate Mississippi election law and voters’ privacy rights. With approximately 12,000 to 20,000 outstanding affidavit ballots under scrutiny and a November 13 certification deadline approaching, the outcome remains uncertain.We’re also examining Cindy Hyde-Smith’s history with Scott Colom, including her opposition to President Joe Biden’s attempt to appoint him to the federal bench in 2023.I’ll be showing footage involving Hyde-Smith and a reporter questioning her about Nolan Xavier Wells, along with testimony from a Mississippi voter who says he presented photo identification, was instructed to cast an affidavit ballot, and later could not locate confirmation of his vote online.Does this raise legitimate concerns about voter transparency and accountability? Are election officials following the law, and will every eligible vote be counted?There’s a lot happening in Mississippi, and we’re breaking down the latest developments, the legal challenges, and what could happen over the next several days.Let me know what you think in the comments.https://www.trentoutloud.com/ For inquiries: [email protected]  JOIN THE TRENT OUT LOUD MEMBERSHIP PERKS PROGRAM.   Hit that "Hype" button below.   Follow us on all social platforms @thetrentoutloudshow & @trentoutloud   POWERED BY TRENT OUT LOUD NETWORK INC. #ScottColom #CindyHydeSmith #Mississippi #MississippiElection #SenateRace #Election2026 #NAACP #VotingRights #CountEveryVote #NolanWells #KohenWiley #TrueCrime #BreakingNews #PoliticalNews #TrentOutLoudSupport the showThanks for listening!

Send us Fan MailScott Colom could pull off a historic upset against Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith in Mississippi's U.S. Senate race. But what would a Scott Colom victory actually mean for the Nolan Wells and Kohen Wiley cases?There is a MAJOR U.S. Senate race unfolding in Mississippi, and misinformation is spreading from both sides. Some reports are claiming that Democratic candidate Scott Colom has already won, while others are declaring Republican incumbent Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith the winner.But the truth is, as of this recording, the race is STILL TOO CLOSE TO CALL!With approximately 96% of the expected vote counted, Scott Colom holds a razor-thin lead over Cindy Hyde-Smith, and thousands of ballots could still determine the outcome.But the misinformation doesn’t stop with the election results.There is also growing confusion surrounding what Scott Colom could actually do for the families of Nolan Xavier Wells and Kohen Wiley if he pulls off the unthinkable and turns Mississippi blue in this historic U.S. Senate race.Could he help push for federal investigations? Could he demand greater accountability from Mississippi authorities? And could his election bring renewed attention to two cases that have left families and communities demanding answers?Or are people misunderstanding the actual powers of a United States senator?In today’s video on the Trent Out Loud YouTube channel, we’re breaking down the latest Mississippi Senate election standings, why neither candidate has officially been declared the winner, how long it could take before the final results are confirmed, and exactly what Scott Colom CAN and CANNOT do to help bring justice for Nolan Xavier Wells and Kohen Wiley.Two families demanding answers. One historic Senate race. And a state that could be on the verge of a political earthquake.https://www.trentoutloud.com/ For inquiries: [email protected]  JOIN THE TRENT OUT LOUD MEMBERSHIP PERKS PROGRAM.   Hit that "Hype" button below.   Follow us on all social platforms @thetrentoutloudshow & @trentoutloud   POWERED BY TRENT OUT LOUD NETWORK INC. #ScottColom #CindyHydeSmith #MississippiElection #MississippiSenate #NolanWells #JusticeForNolanWells #KohenWiley #JusticeForKohenWiley #TrueCrime #MississippiPolitics #Election2026 #USSenate #BreakingNews #JusticeForAll #TrentOutLoudSupport the showThanks for listening!

Send us Fan MailYesterday’s historic 2026 midterm elections were more than a political victory. They represented a powerful moment for Black women, Black Americans, the African diaspora, and people around the world who believe in unity, equality, accountability, and dismantling corrupt systems of power.Today on the Trent Out Loud YouTube channel, we’re breaking down why November 3, 2026, could be remembered as one of the most significant political turning points in modern American history.For generations, Black Americans and women fought for the right to vote, equal representation, and a seat at the table. Women secured constitutional protection against voting discrimination in 1920, while the Voting Rights Act of 1965 helped dismantle barriers that had prevented generations of Black Americans, particularly in the South, from exercising their voting rights.Now, more than a century after the 19th Amendment, Keisha Lance Bottoms has made history as the first Black woman elected governor in the United States, winning in Georgia, a state deeply connected to America’s history of segregation, and the civil rights movement.But the historical significance doesn’t stop there.In today’s video, we’re covering:Keisha Lance Bottoms Makes History: The extraordinary significance of Georgia electing its first Black female governor and her emotional tribute to her ancestors.Black Women in Power: The Black women taking on major leadership positions in Georgia and the women making political history across America.Five Black Governors: A look at the historic milestone of five Black governors serving simultaneously and what it means for representation.Barack Obama Responds: Former President Barack Obama’s statement following the 2026 midterm election results.A Powerful Political Clapback: Abdul El-Sayed’s response to Vice President JD Vance and President Donald Trump.The Power of Unity: Why these elections represent a larger conversation about solidarity, accountability, political representation, and the future of democracy.This is bigger than Democrats versus Republicans. This is about the power of ordinary people to organize, participate in democracy, challenge established systems, and demand better from those elected to represent them.From the struggles of our ancestors to the historic breakthroughs of 2026, this is a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come, how much work remains, and what collective action can accomplish.The question is: Will November 3, 2026, be remembered as the beginning of a major shift in American political power?Drop your thoughts in the comments.

Send us Fan MailThe more information that comes out about the investigation into the passing of 15-year-old Javits Frimpong, the more skeptical I become.NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny has provided new details about the investigation, including three possible motives police are exploring, that are questionable. There is also a troubling questions surrounding the New York City Department of Education after Chief Kenny revealed that investigators are having difficulty obtaining school records without a subpoena. Police also say they have surveillance footage of three individuals before and after the incident, including footage of them jumping a subway turnstile and boarding a southbound No. 5 train toward Manhattan.But that’s not all.Students from DreamYard Preparatory School staged a walkout demanding justice for Javits. I’m going to play footage of students raising serious concerns about their school administration, including allegations that school officials failed to do enough to protect students.With conflicting accounts, unanswered questions, and three individuals still being sought by police, I do not like the direction this investigation is taking.What happened to Javits Frimpong? Could more have been done to protect him? And are the authorities doing everything necessary to bring his family justice?https://www.trentoutloud.com/ For inquiries: [email protected]  JOIN THE TRENT OUT LOUD MEMBERSHIP PERKS PROGRAM.   Hit that "Hype" button below.   Follow us on all social platforms @thetrentoutloudshow & @trentoutloud   POWERED BY TRENT OUT LOUD NETWORK INC.Support the showThanks for listening!

We’ve also brought the movement online, proving that you don’t have to physically attend a march to make your voice heard.A special thank you to Amy from @WhatHappenedToNolan and @92PercentNews, one of the main organizers behind ONE MARCH, 50 STATES, and to every other organizer who worked tirelessly to bring this movement together.THANK YOU TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO PARTICIPATED! ❤️Whether you marched in the streets, attended a protest, joined our online march, watched one minute or all three parts, liked a video, left a comment, shared a link, reposted a clip, or simply helped keep Nolan Xavier Wells’s name and the names of other families demanding justice in the conversation — THANK YOU.Every action matters.

Many of those structures and their effects remain today. We are coming together to challenge and dismantle them.And one of the most powerful tools we have today is THE ALGORITHM.Every like, comment, share, and repost helps amplify voices that might otherwise go unheard. We no longer have to wait for traditional media to decide which stories deserve attention.We can build our own platforms, tell our own stories, organize our own movements, and demand accountability together.PART THREE MAY BE THE END OF THIS TRILOGY, BUT IT IS NOT THE END OF THIS MOVEMENT.This is only the beginning.I AM ONLY JUST GETTING STARTED.WE ARE ONLY JUST GETTING STARTED.We will continue every day to demand answers and justice for Nolan Xavier Wells, for every family that has been denied justice, and for communities across the entire diaspora.To every content creator, organizer, marcher, supporter, and individual who helped make November 1 possible, thank you.And on behalf of the families who continue demanding justice, thank you for refusing to let their loved ones be forgotten.50 STATES.
