This episode of The Latest with Loren LoRosa steps right into one of the most layered conversations in pop culture right now. Loren is joined by NAACP President Derrick Johnson to talk about Kanye West’s public apology and what accountability actually looks like when harm has already been done. From who the apology was really for, to why where you apologize matters just as much as how, this is a real talk breakdown of platform, responsibility, and repair.

But the conversation goes deeper than headlines. They unpack mental health, public grace, community boundaries, and whether changed behavior means silence, service, or something more. And just when you think it’s only about celebrity culture, the discussion shifts to urgent civil rights issues happening right now in Minneapolis — reminding us that while pop culture grabs attention, real lives are on the line.
