On this emotionally unfiltered episode of A Pod Named Kickback, No Brakes Nu’ delivers his most vulnerable session to date. Inspired by the haunting chorus from Clipse’s new track “Birds Don’t Sing”—“they scream in pain”—Nu confronts some of his deepest wounds in real time, shedding real tears on camera for the first time in the podcast’s history.

From the heartbreak of being kept from JB’s kids to the lifelong fracture with his own father, this one isn’t clean or polished—it’s raw, it’s jagged, and it’s real. The Clipse reunion album opens wounds about loss, love, and grief, reminding Nu of losing Andruis, his mother, and the emotional debris they left behind.

The episode also dives into the biggest stories of the week, including Trump reportedly destroying $97 million in contraceptives, new music from Raekwon, Benny the Butcher, Giveon, and Justin Bieber, plus thoughts on Love Analytics and the latest episode of BMF—with the usual BMF jokes about co-host Jacq, of course.

This is an episode where the birds didn’t sing—they screamed. And so did the truth

No Brakes Nu’ is on fire in this raw, unfiltered episode of A Pod Named Kickback. From Dr. Cheyenne Bryant preaching accountability while playing a man for five years, to RG3 disrespecting Angel Reese with a racist meme—Nu’ holds everybody accountable. This ain’t no gender war—it’s truth time. Why do women defend wrong behavior when they criticize men for the same thing? Why are some women trying so hard to become the very f*ckboys that broke their hearts?

🔥 Topics:

• Dr. Bryant’s hypocrisy and the five-year entanglement
• Why real men protect women from themselves
• Angel Reese, RG3, and coonin’ in public
• Why Nu don’t string women along—and why that shouldn’t make him rare

This one is No Breaks Barred…press play, Kickbackers.

This week, No Brakes Nu’ and GetFitWithJacq dive into a heavy but necessary conversation. The tragic passing of Young Noble from Tupac’s group, The Outlawz, hit close to home—especially for Nu, who reflects on the pain of losing someone who once inspired him not to give up. From that raw emotion, they shift into a powerful dialogue on mental health, deal breakers in relationships, and why standing on your non-negotiables matters.

They also break down the Diddy case, the murky lines between justice and vendettas, and the chaos of public opinion in the Black community. Plus, a heroic father who saved his daughter earns this week’s Nipsey Hussle Award.

This episode is about truth, pain, growth—and most importantly, holding on when life gets dark. Tap in, Kickbackers.

On this powerful episode of A Pod Named Kickback, No Brakes Nu and GetFitWithJack hold space for a raw and unfiltered conversation in honor of Men’s Mental Health Month. Nu opens up about personal betrayals, mental health struggles, and what it means when your so-called “bros” move funny during your darkest hours.

The convo widens into a deep dive on the importance of therapy, vulnerability, and the misunderstood power of manifestation — not just wishing, but working for what you speak into existence.

Then things heat up as the squad breaks down Trump’s latest military aggression and the U.S.’s thirst for war, especially in the Middle East. Nu doesn’t hold back on the realities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, calling out the historical and ongoing injustices with brutal honesty.

But it’s not all fire and fury — Billboard’s Top 75 R&B Artists list brings the laughs, eye-rolls, and passionate debates. How you got a Top 10 with no Luther? No Babyface? Miss us with that.

From deep soul wounds to soulful debates, this episode balances truth, humor, and healing. A grown-ass convo for grown-ass kickbackers.

In this week’s episode of A Pod Named Kickback, No Brakes Nu' and Get Fit with Jacq take a deep dive into the viral Haley Bailey & DDG situation—specifically unpacking the controversial topic of postpartum depression.

Nu' breaks down his viral social media post and the firestorm that followed: men vs. women, assumptions vs. empathy, and what it really means to support a woman through postpartum when even she may not know she’s struggling.

“It’s not just crying in silence—it can be behavior that’s unsafe, unstable, and unpredictable. So how do we protect the baby, the mother, and the family unit?”

From there, the convo expands to:

How celebrity custody battles affect the children long-term
Diddy’s dark spiral and the bizarre pattern of free-for-all sexual requests
The ongoing genocide in Gaza, with heartbreaking footage of Palestinians being gunned down while trying to get food
The brewing cold war between Trump & Elon Musk—money vs. political power, and who really wins when billionaires and world leaders clash

It’s deep. It’s wild. It’s real.

And it’s a conversation you need to hear before forming your opinion.
