The mothers of rappers T-Pain, Lil Wayne and R&B singer Ne-Yo are joining forces to launch their own television talk show inspired by ABC’s Emmy-winning daytime series The View, AllHipHop.com has learned.
Aliyah “Mama Pain” Najm (T-Pain‘s mother), Jacida Carter (Lil Wayne’s mother), and H. Loraine Smith (Ne-Yo’s mother) are hoping to enhance their viewers “educationally, economically, socially and culturally” with discussions on current events, important topics, interviews, and feature segments, according to a statement issued Tuesday.
“Our vision is to be a premier talk show that delivers a creative and informative format that assists viewers in educating and solving challenging issues,” Najm told AllHipHop. “There are situations in our communities, cities, states and even nationwide that people have made us aware of and they want to resolve the issues, but they just don’t know where to get help or how to properly handle certain issues,” Najm said.
Dinner Table Discussions is scheduled to premiere next year. Producers are currently in discussions with several networks interested in picking up the program.
