During a recent visit with Hot 104, St. Louis City Mayor Tishaura Jones stopped by to chat about her roles as mayor, her involvement in hiring a new circuit attorney, and how she does it all everyday for the city.
As for whether Mayor Jones had any inclination of or input in Kimberly Gardner’s decision to resign from the circuit attorneys office, she informed The Home Team that she did not. Adding, “I think it was very courageous given what's going on in our city right now. And she faced a lot of obstacles being the first Black woman circuit attorney for our city,” which Tishura noted is something she can “relate” to as the first Black woman Mayor.
“When you’re the first, there’s a high expectation for you to succeed, and I just wish her well, whatever her future endeavors are. But we also have to have a functioning circuit attorneys office and nobody wanted to see the office fail. So I will be in contact with the Governor to give him input, but the ultimate decision is up to him.”
Mayor Jones also spoke on the many challenges the circuit attorneys office has recently faced, the current state of St. Louis’s criminal justice system, and more. Listen to the entire conversation in the clip above.
Chicago rapper, Bandman Kevo joined The Home Team of Hot 104.1 in St. Louis to share his experience with undergoing cosmetic surgery, teaching financial literacy on Only Fans and his transition from prison to facilitating a legit business.
For those who may not be familiar with Bandman, while he is a rapper, he wants people to know he is more than just the music. "I do music you know, here and there, but really [I'm] just a person trying to get to the next level as far as with education and stuff like that."
He would describe himself as "one of the top guys that's on Only Fans that's not showing sex," and explained that his account does really well as he has 25,000 subscribers who pay $50 a month to view his content.
You also may have seen him on popular sites like The Shade Room where he says he often goes viral for having an Only Fans and recently revealing that he received liposuction surgery.
"I just feel like a lot of people don't wanna admit that they getting surgery because you see they tearing me up on the internet like I get posted on 'The Shade Room' a lot about it."
He explained to The Home Team that he decided to go through with the surgery because after months of dieting and working out three times a day, he wasn't seeing the results that he desired but with a good doctor and the power of money he was able to help himself reach those goals much quicker.
And while people have trolled him undergoing a cosmetic surgery, he's chosen to use that to his advantage and has paid for his subscribers to undergo a surgery of their choice.
"Since everybody turned it into a big joke or whatever I was just like Ima just drive more traffic to my Only Fans, long as its three months or more because these surgeries isn't cheap... anything that they wanna do I'll pay for it," he said.

During a recent visit to Audacy’s St. Louis' Hot 104.1 studios Nick Cannon chopped it up with Shorty Da Prince, Brittish Williams and Andrew Caldwell of The Home Team Morning Show. The conversation obviously included Nick’s ever growing number of offspring, plus his brand new show Future Superstar and more.
“Everybody obviously know the energy from the Wild N Out tour, so we’re gonna bring that back,” Nick said of his brand new project that he defines as “edu-tainment” (education and entertainment).
Breaking down what the live audience city-to-city tour is about, Nick said, “it’s almost like when you go to any other concert they have meet and greets before the show… This is really about the community so, we’re educating during that process. We’re doing a panel, an industry panel, people from the community and people that are obviously a part of this tour, and all of that is shot for the television show as well. And then, that goes about 45 minutes, I give the audience an opportunity to ask questions, tap in, and then we start the show.” A concert of “superstars we thought were gonna blow up this year” handpicked by XXL Freshman Class originator and Editor-in-Chief of Vibe, Datwon Thomas, Nick, and BET.
The morning show crew naturally moved the conversation along to Nick’s ever growing family, first asking him if he plans to have any more. Already a father to 12, Nick replied, “Is that a challenge?... I really don’t know – I tried to say I wasn’t having anymore kids after two, after six, after eight… I don’t know, to be honest…”
Gifting him his 12 children is a list of six baby mamas — Mariah Carey, Brittany Bell, Abby De La Rosa, Alyssa Scott, Bre Tiesi, and LaNisha Cole.
Talking about the mothers of his children and the relationships he has with them all, Nick expressed, “I have so much respect and admiration for the individual. Everybody has their challenges – but when you really understand this woman has given the greatest sacrifice, and sacrificed her body to bring a child into this world, that’s the best gift any man could ask for. Regardless of what goes on in any scenario, I’m gonna always show love and respect. I’ll never say anything disrespectful or bad about any of the mothers of my children.”
After noting Nick’s “pull-out game is trash” to which he amusingly responded, “or my insert game is amazing,” Shorty was curious if any of the pregnancies came as a surprise. Nick admitted having “two sets of twins” was what was most surprising. Though he did note finding out a child was coming was scarier when he was younger, but now middle-aged, “it's the happiest feeling anyone could ever experience.”
Nick also went on to share the financial aspects and arrangements he has with the women in his life, sharing “what they need, they get it… That’s why they call me the provider.” As well as an update on his health, lupus, current treatments, and more. To hear it all, listen to the whole conversation above.
