This week on Olay & Friends, we get into B. Simone’s messy fallout with her friends, the IG-baddie-to-religious-influencer pipeline, and why Christianity in the Black community remains the giant, problematic elephant in the room nobody wants to talk about. We break down the performative “rebirth” trend, the way religion gets weaponized for clout, and how faith, influence, and hypocrisy keep colliding online.
