As we know Cam Newton has moved into a different kind of spotlight, it’s not about football stats or fashion.
It’s about truth, healing, and real conversations. In his latest episode of Funky Friday, the former NFL quarterback sat down with none other than K. Michelle, and let’s just say… it got deep.
The two didn’t waste time with surface talk. Instead, they dove straight into what it means to love, forgive, and grow—especially within the Black community. From the challenges of dating while in the public eye to navigating co-parenting and emotional wounds that don’t always heal the way we expect, the conversation was as raw as it was necessary.
At one point, K. Michelle grew visibly emotional, even tearing up while speaking on the importance of having strong family foundations and feeling safe in love. Cam, usually stoic and guarded, matched that energy with grace and empathy. The way he leaned in, listening without ego—it wasn’t just an interview, it was a moment.
What stood out most was how unfiltered they both were. They tackled it all: the struggles of being misunderstood, the double standards in relationships, the damage social media can do, and the quiet work of rebuilding after betrayal.
