Our Editor's Take

Big Court is in session. The former rapper hosts the Holdin' Court podcast. Big Court is a film producer and music executive from Kansas City. He now lives in Los Angeles, California. He got his start as a rapper signed to No Limit Records.

Host Big Court explores the state of the entertainment industry with high-profile guests. The Holdin' Court podcast is a play on words with Big Court's name. It also explains the theme of the show. And listeners get to hear amazing conversations with some top hip-hop names.

The host is Holdin' Court with big names in the music world like Ice-T, Lil Eazy E, and J. Prince. Big Court also interviews actors Michael Jai White and athletes like the NBA's Matt Barnes. They hold court on stories about Nick Cannon and NBA stars. And they have music stories about Death Row Records and hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur.

This isn't Big Court's first time behind the mic. His mentor and friend, Master P, was the person to notice his natural ability of hosting. They were cohosts on Playboy Radio's Doin' The Most. That's when Master P encouraged Big Court to start a podcast. Big Court knows how to balance humor with intelligent commentary.

Big Court didn't want to take this journey alone. His friend, Ken Schoech, joins him on the podcast. "Producer Ken," as they call him on this show, is a music industry executive. The two know each other well and have great chemistry together. They keep their Holdin' Court listeners engaged through insightful conversations. They resurface their struggles, knowledge, and experiences from the streets to entertainment.

Rashad McCants Part 2 - Talks Clashing With Patrick Beverly On Gilbert Arenas Podcast And Playing In The Big 3 League.

In June 2008, McCants began dating reality television star Khloe Kardashian. The two were introduced by the National Football League player Reggie Bush who had been dating her sister Kim at the time. The relationship ended after seven months, in late January 2009, reportedly due to McCants's infidelity. He also made a brief guest appearance on her reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, during season 3 (episode 7). Eight years later, speaking with a Charlotte Observer reporter while looking back on his career in the NBA, McCants stated that the highly publicized relationship with Khloe Kardashian was the "biggest regret" because it "gave people an opportunity to doubt his commitment to the NBA", adding: "Without that situation in play, I’m a $60-70 million player. Easily." McCants was one of the victims of professional scam artist/fraudster Peggy Ann Fulford (Peggy King, Peggy Williams, Peggy Ann Barard, etc.), losing $200,000, amongst the $5.79 million in total she stole from him, Ricky Williams, Travis Best, Dennis Rodman, Lex Hilliard and others. Fulford, who was indicted by the FBI in December 2016, continued her criminal activity until sentenced in February 2018 to 10 years in prison and full financial restitution to her victims.
