Welcome back to Saucy but Sweet with Ali McPherson. For many Kanye West stans (if there are any left) there were no more excuses or defenses left in the jar titled Stupid Things Kanye says.

And before we close out the happiest month of the year, the host thought it...

2020, a year that many of us probably want to forget, was a rough year for so many people. But it wasnt just a rough year for those fighting COVID, or working people being laid off from their jobs, it was also a rough time for the woman who does not need an introduction: Hot Girl Meg. Megan Thee Stallion was shot by rapper Tory Lanez after an argument broke out between her friends in the car. Vide...
