DJ Vlad on his podcast had an open conversation with famous comedian Aries Spears on a recent episode about NBA star Zion Williamson. The host asked the comedian about adult star Mariah Mills making a number of derogatory remarks in response to Williamson’s recent news that his girlfriend was expecting a child.
Aries Spears, who is renowned for his witty criticism and candor, weighed in on the matter and offered his unique perspective on the challenges and potential consequences of such high-profile relationships, in response to the startling claims made by Mills, who claimed to be in a relationship with the basketball sensation.
DJ Vlad delved deeper into the contentious claims made by the adult film star. The allegations ranged from receiving a sizable monthly payment to being a part of a complicated relationship. While the story may have captivated or scandalized some people, Aries Spears provided a more rounded viewpoint. Aries Spears replied by saying, “Listen man, we all do a lot of s**t for that box, man. The nature of being a man often unfortunately supersedes common sense.”
The seasoned comedian observed astutely that circumstances like this frequently lack the reason or common logic one might anticipate. He emphasized the complications of fame and the ways in which simply being a man may occasionally supersede reason and result in potentially dubious judgments – “That’s why when you go back to really famous women, [they] ain’t f*****g a guy working at McDonald’s. But the really famous man will fu** the b***h that even works at T.J. Max – which should be better-educated choices, you get what you pay for.”
The wittily astute remarks of Spears shed light on the appeal and perils of high-profile relationships, particularly when it comes to celebrities like Williamson.
