Justttt the two of us... Aunteas Kerel and Jerrell hold down the fort without Auntea Dawon for the first time!

Did Gen Z really just say men over 40 shouldn't even look their way unless they're paying rent? 💀 This week on Minoritea Report, Auntea Kerel and Auntea Jerrell go unfiltered on the viral TikTok/IG debate sparked by Gen Z claiming older gays must fund their lives to date them. From Billy Porter and Durand Bernarr chiming in to our own messy history with "transactional arrangements" in our 20s, we're unpacking the real tea on age gaps, gym culture, and aging in the community.

We're breaking down girl group dynamics: is FLO's new album giving authentic 2000s R&B nostalgia or just an industry push? Why is it time for Fifth Harmony to suck it up and reunite? And why is Tinashe officially the queen of late summer?

Plus 25 years since 9/11.

Ballroom icon, house music legend, and the voice behind "Cunty", Kevin Aviance sits down with Yo Aunteas!

Kevin just dropped Hippopotamus (Deluxe) and opens up about everything: how Beyoncé sampled "Cunty" on Renaissance's "Pure/Honey" (and how he found out), what it's still like to be "cunty" at 58, laying the groundwork for a generation of Black queer artists, and why ballroom culture IS Black culture, period.

We go track-by-track through Hippopotamus — including "Dolls," his protest record for Black trans women, the gospel cut "What a Friend," and "Bloodlines," written from a conversation with the late Father Hector Xtravaganza. Plus: his new era as a DJ, the Fever NYC party scene, growing up in Richmond and coming up in DC nightlife, a tribute to Dolly Parton, and a first look at what's coming for Beyoncé's B'Day 20th anniversary.

Auntea Kerel, Auntea Dawon, and Auntea Jerrell are joined by viral content creator Juno aka @KenDoesDolls. Juno takes us deep into the rabbit hole of his jaw-dropping 750+ doll collection, which sparked as a comforting hobby with his partner during the 2020 lockdown.

As a straight Black man navigating a historically gatekept community, Juno drops gems on dismantling hyper-masculinity, gaining beautiful support from his creative family, and what happened when his Barbies literally became the centerpieces at his recent wedding! We also break down the corporate side of play: Are major brands like Mattel and MGA making Black dolls an afterthought, or are they finally getting diverse representation right? Plus, find out why Juno believes original Rainbow High was absolute "drag" peak perfection before fumbling into a slime gimmick!

But the tea turns heavy as the room addresses the heartbreaking disappearance of Nolan Wells. The Aunteas pull no punches calling out the suspect behavior, wiped social media accounts, and structural injustices surrounding the case. The friendship math simply isn't matching, and it's time to name the frustration out loud.
