Summary
Welcome back to another episode of Pay Your Friends! On today's show, we have our good friend and comedian Salma Zaky back for an amazing comeback—though she might just call it a defense of her reputation. We're also joined by the one and only Rocky Powell, aka Rocky Balboa. Following the uproar in the hip-hop community from Salma's first appearance, we’re diving headfirst into the comments that went "ham" after she revealed she didn't know what R\&B stands for. We'll be addressing everything from "caucacity" to cinder block threats. To settle the score, we’re putting everyone to the test with a trivia battle: Hip-Hop vs. White Girl Truth. Can the guys figure out what a "bluebird" is at a ski lodge, or will Salma finally learn how many licks it takes to get to the center?
