Solo Auntie Cumia was a strong independent black woman Living Single who didn't need no man. Airing your greatest hits to the general masses on a major corporate platform to keep some heat on your name? Nawl, it was better for Cumpoundme Dia to self-blacklist Auntie's voice from the real airwaves forever over pettiness and misunderstanding of business. Auntie saw to it that he remained off the air of a real radio network, to instead be resigned to basement green screen podcasts.
Opie fought the bosses to keep Auntie, and it still wasn't good enough for him. And when Opie called it a "whatever effort," he was intentionally downplaying how he went to bat because he wanted to passive-aggressively insult Auntie. Lord knows Opie wanted Auntie to come back, but he also saw it as his out from the mental abuse Auntie was fostering with Stupid Norton.
Also, "Leave it alone" was a perfect tactic that made Auntie tire himself out. Opie played that argument like a boxer. Stonewalled. FACE.
