AM I TOO LOUD?! with The Odditty

Let's talk about my complicated relationship with money | AITL?! EP 61

PODD FAM 💚 Today on Am I Too LOUD?!, we’re finally having the money conversation. In this episode, I’m talking about my complicated relationship with money: growing up in Lagos, watching my mom give even when she barely had enough, learning to see money as a blessing instead of a tool, coming to America as an immigrant student, surviving college on basically fumes and prayer, and then suddenly making influencer money that completely changed my brain. We’re getting into the guilt of sending money home, the pressure immigrant kids carry, why boundaries are necessary even when you love your family, and how social media can warp your relationship with money when everyone online looks richer, younger, softer, shinier, and more booked than you. I’m also talking about my first brand deals, going from $150 a month to getting paid thousands for content, learning about savings, taxes, investments, financial responsibility, and why financial freedom is really the soft life.

Let’s Talk Rihanna, Tyla, Ayra Starr, Kevin Hart’s Roast & AMVCA Drama | AITL?! EP 60

PODD FAM 💚 Today on Am I Too LOUD?!, we're getting into ALL the tea from the past few weeks because your girl has been MIA and I'm back with opinions, gossip, and so much pop culture chaos. Trying out this new series where I share my loudest opinions around all things POP CULTURE! From Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson's breakup to the Met Gala 2026 fashion, the Rihanna vs Tyla vs Ayra Starr drama, James Charles dragging an unemployed fan, and Kevin Hart's controversial roast, we're covering it ALL. I'm also getting real about mental health, lack of discipline, and why I've been inconsistent with the podcast. We're talking about monogamy, dating culture, colorism in the music industry, why the AMVCA and Met Gala shouldn't be compared, the hantavirus cruise ship conspiracy theories, and why the Ayra Starr vs Tyla discourse is rooted in pitting women against each other. Plus, I'm breaking down why Kevin Hart's roast was uncomfortable but necessary, and whether we're all just too sensitive now. This episode is messy, unfiltered, and exactly what you need. Let's get into it, PODD FAM! 00:00:00 Welcome Back & Life Updates 00:09:25 Mental Health Check-In & Lack of Discipline 00:10:54 Megan Thee Stallion & Klay Thompson Breakup 00:21:15 Met Gala 2026 Recap & Fashion Commentary 00:24:50 Rihanna vs Tyla Drama Explained 00:33:21 Ayra starr vs Tyla: Colorism & Pitting Women Against Each Other 00:37:02 AMVCA vs Met Gala: Why the Comparison Doesn't Work 00:39:45 Hantavirus Cruise Ship Conspiracy Theories 00:41:39 James Charles Drags Unemployed Fan 00:47:48 Kevin Hart Roast: Too Far or Perfect Comedy? 00:54:21 Closing Thoughts & What's Next for the Podcast LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE If you haven't already, subscribe to AM I TOO LOUD?! with The Odditty 👇🏽 * YouTube: https://bit.ly/SubscribeToAmITooLoud [https://bit.ly/SubscribeToAmITooLoud] * Spotify: https://bit.ly/AmITooLoudOnSpotify [https://bit.ly/AmITooLoudOnSpotify] * Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/AmITooLoudOnApplePodcasts [https://bit.ly/AmITooLoudOnApplePodcasts] 🌐 STAY TUNED: https://www.amitooloud.com/ [https://www.amitooloud.com/] JOIN THE POD FAM * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amitooloudpod [https://www.instagram.com/amitooloudpod] * Twitter (X): https://x.com/amitooloudpod [https://x.com/amitooloudpod] * TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@amitooloudpod [https://www.tiktok.com/@amitooloudpod] JOIN THE ODD FAM * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_odditty [https://www.instagram.com/the_odditty] * Twitter (X): https://x.com/the_odditty [https://x.com/the_odditty] * TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the_odditty [https://www.tiktok.com/@the_odditty] MORE FROM THE ODDITTY * The Odditty Tv Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TheOdditty/videos [https://www.youtube.com/@TheOdditty/videos] * The Odditty Diaries Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TheOddittyDiaries [https://www.youtube.com/@TheOddittyDiaries] HASHTAGS #AmITooLoud #TheOdditty #AmITooLoudSofi #AmITooLoudPod

Mummy… LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX AS BLACK MUSLIM WOMEN | Crossover Episode: AITL X OOT | Part 1

IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME!! In today’s episode, Ismatou (On Our Terms) and Sofi (Am I Too Loud?!) sat down for the conversation they've both been circling for years.

From the sex talk that never happened to the cultural double standards that shaped how they learned about their own bodies, this episode is raw, honest, and long overdue. They're unpacking what happens when religion gets weaponized, when silence does more damage than the thing everyone's afraid to name, and what it actually takes to start unlearning all of it.
