Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.

Good morning, yo. Hey, she's back.
Angelina is back.
What's wrong with your voice, Envy?
I just cracked.
I'm happy.
I'm excited you're back.
Well, you just woke up.
Man, I just got up.
You got sparkles under your eyes.
What's going on? I just got up.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Welcome back.
How was your trip?
It was good.
I was in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.
A little vacay that we do every single year.
I had a good time.
I felt well rested.
I felt like, you know how you kind of disconnect
from everything? Yep. So I'm trying to catch
up on everything that's been going on.
You messed up the Florida intro, by the way.
I just wanted to say welcome and she's back. Alright.
Charlemagne Tha God. Peace to the planet.
It's Tuesday!
Oh, now you
care about the intro? Yeah.
I mean, I'm here on time, so I might as well do it.
I mean, since I'm here.
Since you're here.
Since I'm here, right?
Yeah.
All right, so what happened while I was gone?
Talk to me.
Not much.
We just, you know.
Not much?
I heard you did a great job doing the rumors.
I held it down.
You know, I did it like I did it for TV.
You know what I'm saying?
I know how you do.
I mean, you are on TV every morning.
It's Revolt TV.
Drop on the Clues Bonds for Revolt TV.
That is true. We got a nice little balance of ratchetness on TV every morning. It's Revolt TV. Drop on the Clues Bonds for Revolt TV. That is true.
We got a nice little balance of ratchetness and righteousness this morning.
We have comedian Lunell.
She's providing the righteousness.
I was mad I missed her.
Now, explain to the people who Lunell is.
They might not know who Lunell is.
Lunell is an OG comedian.
You know, they call her the original bad girl of comedy.
You know, she's one of those old school comics who doesn't subscribe to the whole politically correct era that we live in.
That's right.
She's a joy to talk to.
Yeah, so we'll kick it with her.
And then also, Dr. Oz.
He's providing the ratchetness this morning.
Okay.
You want to explain to people who Dr. Oz is?
He's not the ratchet.
Are you just assuming everybody knows who Dr. Oz is?
You know, for some people that don't have a doctor, you know, Dr. Oz.
Who don't have a doctor.
They might be their only doctor.
Every time he comes up, that's where they get their answers and stuff.
So Dr. Oz will be up here talking to us this morning.
Should be a lot of fun.
Since you guys are just talking about comics, I read a book while I was on vacation.
And it was a story about In Living Color and how it all started.
It's called Homie Don't Play That.
So much interesting information in that book.
A lot of behind the scenes things that I never, ever knew about in Living Color.
Just the relationships between Kenan Ivey Wayans and other comedians of that era.
How things that were going on, how it affected the show.
And that was definitely the time of the politically incorrect jokes.
You don't want to explain to the people what a Living Color is?
Well, Kenan Ivey Wayans.
Cardi B and Bruno Mars redid that video.
Redid that TV show and that video for Finesse Kids.
Right, so anyway.
But a lot of comedians got their start on In Living Color,
including Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, Tommy Davidson, David Allen Greer,
and even more people auditioned.
Like Martin had auditioned to be on the show.
Chris Rock auditioned to be on the show.
But it was basically kind of the stomping grounds for everybody.
J.Lo started off on In Living Color. She was one of the
dancers on the show. Fly girls.
And they actually talk about that and the whole dynamic
between Rosie Perez and J.Lo.
But it's a great book, so I'm excited
for that. And shout out to everybody that came out to the club
last night. The club last night was rammed.
They had a great time last night. I seen on the
champ, Floyd Mayweather was at the club last night.
He was chilling, so I seen him out there last night.
But shout out to everybody that came out and had a good time last night.
Let's get the show cracking.
Front page news, what are we talking about?
Well, right back to it.
We'll talk about Waffle House.
The shooting suspect is jailed on murder charges.
Also, a van in Toronto just jumped up on the sidewalks and actually killed 10 people.
We'll give you more information on that.
He didn't just jump up on the sidewalk.
Somebody drove it up there.
Yeah.
We'll talk about that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get some front page news.
Now, NBA basketball last night.
The Rockets beat the Timberwolves 119-100.
They lead the series 3-1.
And the Jazz beat OKC 113-96.
The Jazz lead 3-1. I thought that series was over. I thought they was up 3-1. And the Jazz beat OKC 113-96. The Jazz lead 3-1.
I thought that 3 was over. I thought it was up 3-1
yesterday. Now let's talk about the
Waffle House shooting.
Yes, a tip from the community has led to
the arrest of Travis Reinking.
It was shortly after 1 p.m.
He was in the wooded area near his
Nashville apartment. Now I'm sure
I saw you guys talked about this. It was
in the Nashville area at a Waffle House.
He's accused of killing four people.
And it was a frantic manhunt
after that. They told people to stay in their homes,
do not be outside, while Ryan
King was on the loose. They were warned to keep their
doors locked and everything. According
to authorities, Ryan King did not arrest
when a detective drew a gun on him. He had a backpack
that contained a firearm, ammunition,
and a flashlight. They said that he was He had a backpack that contained a firearm, ammunition, and a flashlight.
They said that he was outside of the Waffle House
for about four minutes looking at people inside,
and that's when he got out and killed two people
with an assault-type rifle, two people outside the Waffle House,
and then he went inside and killed two more people
before James Shaw Jr. seized a moment of opportunity
when the gunman had stopped firing,
and the two of them tussled for a minute minute and he managed to get the firearm away from him.
Drop one of the clues bombs for James Shaw, man.
Now, just last summer, Ryan King was arrested by the Secret Service for trespassing near the White House.
He also had told first responders he believed pop star Taylor Swift was stalking him a couple of years ago.
Possible.
And he also had told police that he made, his family also told police he made comments about killing himself.
So he was charged with unlawful entry for the whole situation at the White House.
And at the FBI's request, they took away his firearms and gave them to his dad.
But apparently it looks like his dad later returned them to his son.
He should be charged.
His father could potentially face charges.
He should be charged.
For transferring weapons to a person knowingly prohibited from possessing them. Absolutely. He should be charged. So now his father could potentially face charges for transferring weapons to a person knowingly
prohibited from possessing them.
Absolutely.
He should be charged.
And I wish that terrorist,
that member of Vanilla Ice's
would have killed himself
because then four people
would still be alive today.
Now, is it true
that he got a bail?
I'm hearing he got a bail.
Oh, I don't know.
I don't see that here.
Oh.
First day back.
I don't know what's going on.
He should definitely be charged.
Now, what's the next story?
What are we talking about? Definitely be charged. Let's talk about Toronto. No, He should definitely be charged. Now what's the next story?
His father should be charged.
Alright, 10 people are dead and 15 people are injured and they are saying
it looks like a deliberate act.
A driver of a van plowed into
multiple pedestrians in Toronto
and they have the suspected driver
Alec Manassian
is his name. He's in custody.
He was arrested in a white rental van less than 30 minutes after police received a 911 call.
They are saying that Manassian was previously known to Toronto authorities
and that he did leave a trail of destruction nearly a mile long.
So they said it looks very deliberate, definitely.
Stuff like this definitely sets my anxiety off, especially when you live in a city like New York.
Then you could be walking on the sidewalk at any given moment.
Right.
And I mean,
stuff like this has happened
in New York before.
It happened in Times Square.
Yeah, absolutely.
10 people dead,
15 injured.
Very sad.
That's in Toronto.
And Toronto's such a nice city.
You know what I mean?
The people are pleasant there.
You don't expect stuff like that
to happen in Toronto.
I know.
Well, those are our tragic stories
for this morning.
Nothing good. Nothing happy. Wow. Jesus Christ. Welcome, those are our tragic stories for this morning. Nothing good.
Nothing happy.
Jesus Christ.
Welcome back, E.
Yeah.
I mean, nothing.
I'm back at it.
Nobody had a baby.
Nobody got a scholarship.
Well, you know what?
Drop one of the clues, Bonds, for James Shaw again.
That's a James Shaw genius.
That was a good story.
Yeah, that's a positive note and all of that.
Well, it wasn't a great story, but what he did was amazing.
But that's front page news.
Yeah, that he actually managed to make that happen.
He doesn't consider himself a hero either.
I loved his answer, though.
That was real.
He was like, well, I was trying to save myself.
He was like, I'm trying to save myself, and in the process, I saved some more lives.
But that's the reality of the situation.
He was trying to save himself, as he should have.
All right.
That's front page news.
Now, get it off your chest.

Hello, who's this?
Hello.
Hey, why you sound so mad?
Mama, get her off your chest.
Oh, I'm mad.
I'm mad as hell.
Why?
Why you mad as hell?
Because my supervisor texted me yesterday and was like,
bring me some breakfast and you ain't got to come to work.
Wait a second. Bring me breakfast and you don't have to come to work. That sounds like a good trade-off and you ain't got to come to work. Wait a second.
Bring me breakfast and you don't have to come to work.
That sounds like a good tradeoff.
You ain't got to come to work.
He be looking out.
He be looking out.
And I'm like, all right, it's Monday.
I ain't want to go.
You said he's a manager?
I'm up this morning.
But how do you bring the breakfast?
I'm up this morning.
How do you bring the breakfast without going into work?
He ain't going to work either.
Oh, so he set you up.
What kind of job is this?
Now I'm on my way to work and I'm just mad this morning.
Well, he set you up, boo.
Was he a manager, a supervisor or something?
He was a supervisor.
Oh, okay, okay.
Well, tell him he owe you.
And stop having sex with your supervisor.
That's not going well.
I'm not.
No, no, no, no, I'm not.
Oh, my God.
I don't believe you.
Yeah, now you want to hang up.
Hello, who's this?
This is Tiara.
Hey, Tiara.
Get it off your chest, mama.
I am so sick and tired of these deadbeat fathers that you asked them to do the bare minimum,
and they can't even do that.
Oh, boy.
What did you ask them to do?
It's their second time calling in two weeks now.
No, I never called before.
Yeah, there's a lot of people that are sick of that.
What did you ask them to do, mama?
First of all, I work overnight.
I work at a gym.
All I ask my son and father
to do is keep him three nights a week
while I go to work. I pick him up in the morning
and take him to school. It's nothing that you have to do but put him
back to sleep. And he can't do that.
Well, you got into it. You know what you
was getting into when you got into it? She probably did not know.
Oh, he got into it. I did not know.
She did not know. I don't like you interrupting.
This is your boy because you don't let him in your house.
My boy? Who's my boy? You let him in your house. My boy? Who's my boy?
You let him in your house.
You let him in your house.
Who is this?
Who?
Say his name.
A chef.
A chef?
I let a bunch of chefs in my house.
Wow.
And we got a deadbeat chef.
I got a deadbeat chef.
Listen, I don't like you interrupting that chef's quality time with his girlfriend to
drop off his son, okay?
How dare you?
You're all made crazy. Andy, you're such a family man. If you? How dare you? Throwing me in prison.
Andy, you're such a family man.
If you see him,
you need to tell him about yourself.
I don't know.
He don't know which chef.
He has a lot of chefs.
I got a bunch of different chefs.
Y'all had him on
the breakfast club one time.
Y'all let him come up to you.
You had a chef on the breakfast club?
Is his food good?
Yeah, his food is good.
So basically,
this is Envy's fault somehow.
Is he from a reality show?
It's not Envy's fault because Envy would never know, but he's such a friend.
He likes to make it seem like he's something that he's not.
Is he on a reality show?
I never had no reality show at my house.
No, he ain't on no damn reality show.
I don't know who you're talking about.
We got a chef on here.
He just got to name names, man.
He got to be Jamaican.
I got a bunch of Jamaican chefs.
He Jamaican?
No, he's black.
Oh.
Jamaicans are black.

He's African-American.
He's not a foreigner.
He's not Western-era.
Well, congratulations to you, boo.
I'm sorry that you can't get no sake and offish in the morning.
What's it called?
Aki and soffish.
Aki and soffish.
Sake, that's Japanese.
Whatever.
I'm sorry you can't get no Jamaican breakfast and a good father.
I'm sorry.
Is he from Long Island?
No, he's from Jersey.
Forget it.
Everybody just has no idea who it is. I'm sorry, mama. All right. Have No, he's from Jersey. Forget it. Everybody just has no idea
who it is.
I'm sorry, Mama.
All right.
Have a blessed morning.
I'll tell all the chefs

of their kids.
All you deadbeat chefs
out there.
Get it off your chest.

If you need to vent,

Hey, man.
I've been listening to you since I was a young boy coming up in the Metro for real.
Hey, man.
I'm old.
Hey, for real.
I just want to say, get these big trucks out the fast lane.
I'm trying to get somewhere by 7 o'clock, and I need y'all to move.
You know what I'm saying?
That's right.
Blow your horn at them.

This is Drew.
I'm in Virginia.
Hey, Drew.
757.
Get it off your chest, bro.
What's going on?
First off, I just want to say I'm blessed.
I woke up this morning.
Envy, Angel E, Charlamagne and God, I want to thank y'all for getting me to work every
morning.
I love listening to y'all on the radio.
But I just want to say I'm a little upset, you know,
because of the shooting out in Tennessee.
With it being a white guy, you know,
he's immediately labeled as, you know, just a murderer.
He's got problems.
But if it was a person of color, Trump would be tweeting up a story
and talking about how he's a terrorist.
You know, this, that, and the third.
And it just doesn't seem right.
Well, he is a terrorist.
It doesn't matter what Trump says.
It doesn't matter what Trump says.
That man is a terrorist. Yes, he is definitely a terrorist. It doesn't matter what Trump says. That man is a terrorist.
Yes, he is definitely a terrorist.
He's a member of a domestic organization called Vanilla ISIS.
But we all know he's a terrorist, but what's the media going to label him as?
You know, it's just not going to go down that way.
The Breakfast Club is part of the media, sir.
The Breakfast Club is part of the media, in case y'all haven't noticed.
That man is a terrorist, all right?
A member of the organization Vanilla ISIS.
Y'all are amazing.
You get the news out there.
But does all of America listen to y'all?
Jesus Christ.
Thank you for reminding us we ain't really sh**.
God damn.
All right.
Does all of America listen to us?
No, all of America don't listen to nobody.
All right?
A couple people that do listen.
But a nice portion of America listens to us.
It's like a nice portion of America listens to other media outlets.
Hello, who's this?
Jesus.
This is Alicia.
Good morning.
Hey, morning, Mama.
Get it off your chest.
I just wanted to call and spread some positivity while I'm on my way to work.
Getting ready to get off the car to go in.
Okay.
Good morning, DJ Envy.
How you doing?
I'm doing lovely, Mama.
Let's hear the positivity.
Tell us something positive.
Good morning.
I just really wanted to call and tell you guys to have a blessed day.
And I listen to you guys every morning on my way to work.
And you guys are hilarious.
Well, thank you.
You have a blessed day as well.
We really appreciate the positive energy from you this morning.
What you going to eat, Ma, early this morning?
Pancakes?
Nah, I ain't even eating that.
And I'm about to go in here and work hard and build cars all day.
I thought you said you were about to go eat.
No, I'm going to work.
Oh, you build cars?
Yeah, I work at Honda.
Oh, wow.
That's dope.
You went to school for that?
Yeah, no, no, no.
Yeah, no.
What's that pay a year, if you don't mind me asking?
About $60.
Oh, somebody need to get you pregnant.
No.
You got them good benefits and stuff?
Only this morning. You saying the crazy stuff. Well, enjoy your day at work, No. You got them good benefits and stuff? Only this morning.
You saying the crazy stuff.
Well, enjoy your day at work, Mama.
You too.
You guys too.
Have a nice one.
You too.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
We got rumors on the way?
Yes, DMX may be in prison right now, but he has all kinds of offers pouring in.
We'll tell you what they are.
Also, Tracy Morgan, find out who slapped him.
Okay.
We'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's D-E-J-N-V, Angela Yee.
Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk DMX.
This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
On The Breakfast Club.
Well, DMX was sentenced to serve one year in jail
after being convicted of tax evasion in March.
But here's the good news.
While he's there, he is doing very well
and he's been writing a lot of lyrics
and everybody's reaching out to him
trying to do an autobiographical project on his life.
Look at DMX, man.
DMX should not be in jail.
DMX, a long time ago, should have been in some form of rehab or something.
I thought he has been in rehab, though, several times.
I think he's been in rehab a couple times, yeah.
And I don't understand why we send people to jail when they have tax problems,
when they should be out working to get the money.
Because when he gets out, he does have to pay $2.3 million in restitution.
Now, it doesn't have to be right away.
They are going to take monthly installments of 10% of his gross monthly income.
But why not do that to begin with?
Like, you get hit with a tax lien or something,
why not let the person work and just garnish their wages?
Like, why send them to jail?
I never understood that concept.
It makes no sense.
All right, and speaking of jail, Bill Cosby,
today is the day that they are going to finally be doing their closing statements.
And that's for the retrial for Bill Cosby for three counts of aggravated indecent assault for the alleged drugging and molestation of former Temple University staffer Andrea Constance.
That trial has been kind of quiet, right? I mean, other than the young lady trying to rush him in the beginning, right?
It's been, well, it's been every day, but it hasn't been like before, though.
Yeah, they actually, yesterday, the lawyers rested their case.
So today's closing statements.
His wife, Camille Cosby, is supposed to attend today, according to a spokesman. She's been not really there for the past 11 days of testimony.
Now, on Cosby's defense, they're saying that Andrea Constance is a money grubber
who preyed on a lonely celebrity as she tried and failed to make it in sports broadcasting.
For the prosecutors, they did call an additional five women who accused Bill Cosby of sex assault, which includes supermodel Janice Dickinson.
They all took the stand?
Mm-hmm.
Yikes.
Five different women.
Again, because they had to take it the first time.
So this is the second time they're taking the stand, right?
I don't know for all of them, but I know five women
came forward this time
that have accused him.
That's crazy.
That seems like
that case has been really quiet.
It's only been 11 days
of testimony, too.
That's a long time.
Yeah.
Especially with all those
people taking a stand.
I mean, every single day
there's been updates,
but it hasn't been anything
like, you know, crazy.
So we're just giving you
this update
because we should hear
something soon.
Colin Kaepernick,
he's going to be honoring
his mom for that VH1 Mother's Day
special. And that's happening
on May 7th. Dear Mama,
a love letter to moms. Are you
guys getting ready for Mother's Day now?
Because I'm trying to do something really special for my mom.
I ain't going to tell you no lie. I didn't even know what Mother's Day was.
Mine is May 13th.
Mine is a little bit, because that's the day of my anniversary.
So that's my wedding anniversary and Mother's Day.
So I got a bunch of other ones.
It's a good feeling to plan things in advance.
I'm just going to put that out there for everybody.
So you have time now to try to plan something special for your mom.
But Colin Kaepernick, the full lineup has not yet been announced,
but we do know he will be there.
And VH1 posted, it takes a great to make a great.
Colin Kaepernick will honor his mother on Dear Mama, a love letter to moms.
We told you before, that's being hosted by Anthony Anderson,
and La La Anthony is co-hosting.
I feel like I do special things for my mother all the time.
You know, my wife, who's the mother of my kids, so yeah.
I do too.
I just kind of want to do something extra special.
Mother's Day is always whack.
The food is always whack.
Things that go well, you want to make sure.
Restaurants are overly packed.
Make them feel really special. If I remember, I'll do something. Take it to Red Lobster. All food is always whack. Things will go well. You want to make sure. Restaurants are overly packed. Make them feel really special.
If I remember, I'll do something.
Take it to Red Lobster.
All right, Tracy Morgan.
He said that he had dinner with Morgan Freeman,
but Morgan Freeman slapped him.
He was on The View, and here's what he had to say.
I got a call from my agent, Steve Smoop.
Morgan Freeman wants to have dinner with you tomorrow.
Wow.
And I dropped the phone.
That's basically God.
I'm so excited at dinner
and I'm talking
a mile a minute
and he's,
stop.
And what Morgan Freeman
do to see you,
that's love.
So he said he got slapped
across the face
to slow him down
because he was talking so fast.
And Morgan Freeman slapped you?
Could you swing on
Morgan Freeman?
No.
You can't, right?
That's like your granddaddy
popping you or something. Definitely can't.
I'm sure I was in a super hard smack. But shout out to
Tracy Morgan. I was actually with him in Brooklyn
before I went on vacation
in Bed-Stuy and he actually redid this
whole basketball court in Marcy.
Marcy Playground.
Morgan Freeman is that age
where he can get away with damn near anything.
He can. You know what I'm saying? Smack you,
talk crazy to you,
and you just got to take it because he's 700 years old.
He said it's love, too.
Morgan Freeman slapped him out of love.
I know Tracy was from Marcy.
He's from Brooklyn.
He's from Tompkins.
Oh, okay.
But it's right there.
It's like two blocks away.
Okay.
All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report.
All right, thank you, Miss Yee.
When we come back, we have comedian Lu Nell joining us.
Lu Nell, nasty ass.
We'll kick it with her when we come back.
I mean that in a good way.
She's the original bad girl of comedy, okay?
So don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We have a special young lady with us this morning.
Yes, sir.
Comedian Lu Nell.
Yo.
Now, let the record show Lu Nell asked me to undress her this morning.
No, you did.
So if it ever comes out later that she didn't give me consent. No, let the record show, Lunel asked me to undress her this morning. No, you didn't. So if it ever comes out later,
she didn't give me consent.
No, me too over here.
I seen you put her shirt on.
She asked me to.
Okay.
And we always do what we're asked to do,
don't we, Charlamagne?
Yes.
Be a good boy,
and mommy don't have to spank you.
Now, I walked outside,
and I heard Charlamagne say,
whack shit nasty, and then I heard Lunel yell Now, I walked outside and I heard Charlamagne say, whack shit nasty.
And then I heard Lunell yell out, I like them nasty.
Yes, child.
Nasty is good.
People ain't nasty no more.
They can't be.
They get in trouble nowadays.
Well, you be nasty with your mate.
You know, be nasty with your partner.
That's what happens.
You get in these relationships, you quit being nasty.
Now there go your man out the motherfucking
door after the next nasty bitch.
You should have stayed the nasty bitch
you was when you met you. So you think
that's what it is? You think women are just afraid to be freaks nowadays?
I don't think they're afraid.
I just think that, well, I think a lot of women
are inhibited.
Especially maybe
some of my big sisters out here because you
feel like, oh, you know, this ain't tight,
and this is rolling and all that.
And it is.
But you just got, there's a whole crew of motherfuckers out there
who love that shit.
Yeah.
I know.
I got one.
It's going to be skinny for sure.
You got you a man that loves the, what, the rolls?
He does.
Oh, you married?
Okay.
I've been married for 17 years.
Yay!
On the low.
Don't tell the boys that.
On the low.
Yeah, I keep it on the low.
I don't put my husband on social media, no pictures, because if they do that face recognition
in the penitentiary, we're f***ed then.
There he goes, back to the yard.
Do you still enjoy comedy?
You know, because it seems like comedy's gotten
a little tighter now, where there's certain things you
say now, you get in trouble.
I don't get in trouble for saying anything.
I say absolutely everything
that's on my mind, but I've been that way for
30 years. They call me the original
bad girl of comedy. I've had a mouth
on me since the gate. I think
it might have held me back then.
I was even too dirty
to be on Def Jam,
if you can believe that.
Really?
And I'm swole about that.
Studio 54 and Def Jam,
I never got the experience
in New York.
I'm dead.
They told you that?
They were like,
are you too...
No, they didn't tell me,
but they just didn't
ever let me do it.
I'm the only fool
that came through that era
that didn't do Def Jam,
but I did nine seasons
of Comic View,
which is way cleaner than Def Jam was.
They just was hating on me,
but I made it despite that,
and the times have changed.
So now, you know,
my sort of style or genre
is almost missing a really blue female
who is what they call guy funny.
You know, not just funny to the women, but funny to the dudes, too.
It makes me very happy to look out there and see men bent over
and spitting out their drink and stuff like that
because men come not expecting to enjoy a female comic.
You come just to appease your guy, go see this broad.
But when you really kill it, that's why they call me El Murder.
The Ellis for Lunell Murders because I'm killing these bitches out here.
So that's why when guys come in and I see them having a great time,
it's wonderful.
To answer your question, yes, I do still enjoy comedy.
Everybody knows that I have a problem with the Inst Insta fame, quote unquote, comedians.
I was just wish there was another name for them besides comic, because, you know, I think of comics.
I'm thinking of Lenny Bruce and, you know, Rodney Winfield and Robin Harris and Pryor and Cosby and Joan Rivers and Miles Mabry.
Those are comics to me. But, you know, just because you have 387,000 likes does not a comic make.
You haven't done anything.
There's beauty in the struggle.
Sure, everybody wants to make it fast and quick, you know,
but there's beauty in the struggle.
What stories are you going to be able to tell, you know,
that led up to your legacy not? You know, you're not going to have be able to tell, you know, that led up to your legacy, not.
You know, you're not going to have no stories to tell.
Oh, because I got so many likes,
and they picked me up from YouTube,
and I got my own show, and that was 15 years ago,
and now nobody knows who the f*** I am anymore.
Isn't it like another form of comedy?
Like, you got stand-up, you got some comedians.
It is another form of comedy.
Yeah, some comedians are funny on TV,
some in movies, some online.
Right.
Yeah, you know, I mean, it is a genre for sure.
And, you know, I'm just as prone to do a video as anybody else.
But I'm not basing and hoping my career on that.
But I'm already established.
These kids got to get in however they fit in, and I ain't mad at them.
It's just that when you have to serve it up,
when you have to get off Instagram and go into a club,
and you got 350 people looking at you like,
what you got?
Then you need to have something behind that,
because, you know, that time's going to run out,
and you're going to look f***ing stupid.
Does it bother you that a lot of these, I guess,
Insta comedians are getting people in the building,
they're getting a lot of money, and they're not really funny at times?
Yes, of course it bothers me, and not only me.
I'm just one of the people who speak out about this
because I'm not a fake bitch.
You know, I know it bothers a lot of us OGs
because they're getting paid more than us,
and it's not even, I don't do it for the money,
but I certainly would like to get compensated for being one of the bad ones out here.
You know what I mean?
And you see people just, you know, buying houses and shit.
And they've been on YouTube for like three years.
It's like, this is bulls**t.
So I'm not going to lie and say it don't bother me.
It bothers a lot of people, but I don't know who's going to say it, but I will.
You know what I hate? I hate that comedians are being so politically correct nowadays because y'all don't bother me it bothers a lot of people but i don't know who's gonna say it but i will you know what i hate i hate that uh comedians are being so politically
correct nowadays because y'all don't have to be i don't and i'm not and and you know i was out in
nyack i wasn't in brooklyn and my audience was like 80 percent white and i guarantee you i didn't
change narae word because i can you know I can go entertain the Jewish you know city council
as well as go to the YMCA and do a show but I don't change it because my subject matter
is mostly child relationship and sex based which is universal anybody white anybody Latino anybody
trans anybody anything can come to my show and they're gonna fall out laughing
because everything is universal
my audiences are like
on a cruise ship, you know what I mean?
you just come to have fun and you're sitting
next to Joe Bob, who's sitting next to Jamal
who's sitting next to Becky
and everybody's all there together
and that's what I like being able to do
alright we have more with Lu now when we come back
keep it locked, this is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning everybody. It's DJ
Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne
the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Comedian
Luenell's in the building. Now we had
Monique up here a couple of months ago
and we were talking about her Netflix
special. What did you think about that? Because you're an OG
comedian. I saw the picture you posted on Instagram.
You said, Netflix, I'll take that goddamn money.
Yeah, I will take that money.
Let's be clear.
But first of all, I've said,
and I say at the beginning of my shows on stage,
no matter what you think about her,
no matter what you've heard about her husband,
that is all irrelevant.
She's f***ing right.
Like, we're underpaid.
Angela Bassett has said the same
thing. Viola Davis
has spoken on it as well. And,
you know, every now and then, I like to see somebody
who don't give a f*** and they just name names,
call people on their s***, and
let the chips fall where they may. Now,
I wouldn't do it like that, you know.
I'm gonna leave that to her.
But, you know, two years
from now, she'll do something else amazing.
They'll be all on her d*** again. I've seen
this a hundred times, you know what I mean? You go
down, you come back up. But somebody had
to speak on the issue. At least the issue
is being spoke about now. And so
I thank her for that. So what happens
when the next, like, what would you say
somebody like a Tiffany Haddish, when she gets paid from Netflix?
Well, she's gotten paid.
She's gotten paid, yes.
Well, Tiffany is a friend of mine, I like to think,
and I think that she is
riding the f***ing wave right now.
What you gonna do? Not take the money?
Goddamn right. You know, and
the wave don't always last forever.
So you better grab it.
She's cute, she's young, she's perky,
she's quirky. She acts kinda stupid, but she ain't stupid.
Not at all.
At all.
And I really don't think that the Illuminati is going to be able to come for her without her snitching them out.
She's holding on to that Beyonce bite story pretty tough.
But I think if the Illuminati come and Tiffany had it, they'll be the f*** with the wrong bitch because she's going to
put up, you know these motherf***ers came to me
talking to me about that bulls***,
you know, and I
just don't think she's going to change. I think
she's going to remain the chick that she is,
you know? I agree, too. Which is refreshing.
And plus, she's older, though, so
it's not like she knew, you know what I mean?
Right. She didn't just
pop up, but that's what it looks like, you know.
Yeah.
She just popped up out of the sky.
No, you can Google her and go back, see Tiffany doing the s*** and poorly dressed.
Now, you pose naked.
Yeah, for Penthouse.
For who?
Google the picture right now.
No, let me see.
What I got to Google?
Lunel?
Lunel Penthouse.
You want to see them black and white? Yeah. No, you want to see it in color. Let me see. What I got to Google? Lunel Nekki? Lunel Penhouse. You want to see them black and white?
No, you want to see it in color.
I want to see that melanin.
That's not all you want to see.
Now, why'd you decide to pose naked?
Well, because they said okay.
They said okay?
Yeah.
I had already directed a photo shoot for Penhouse.
It was a series they had called Pop Shots.
Stevie J did one.
I did one. Dave Navarro did one.
And you get to
pick the models you want.
They give you a mansion and you can be in the
pool or in the bed or in the kitchen.
So we took over the mansion and
I got everybody I wanted. I wanted a boy who looked
like Fabio. We got my boy Alejandro.
I wanted a chocolate
sister. The light-skinned bitches get all boy Alejandro. I wanted a chocolate sister.
The light-skinned bitches
get all the shine,
so I wanted a dark-skinned sister.
Yeah, and then I wanted
a red-haired white girl,
not a blonde or brunette.
See, look at that.
It took three hours
to do that graffiti on my back.
Go ahead, Luenell.
See them tits?
That's right.
They real?
Yeah, they real feel.
No, no.
Don't be scared. No, no. If you? Yeah, they real feel. No, no. Don't be scared.
No, no.
If you're scared, go to church, Charlemagne.
Because somebody going to screenshot the picture with just me with my hands on your tits?
I'm going to get a t-shirt that says, I gave permission.
I gave permission.
Did Penthouse pay good?
No, unfortunately.
They did not But the
And I thought that
See I want that
That picture with the graffiti
On my back
I want that to eventually
Hit the Jumbotron
In Times Square
You never know
Hell I might host
New Year's Eve
Rockin' Eve one day
Down there
You never know
And then that
Everything is possible
Right
Everything is possible
If you believe
The Bible say that
There you go Now Bible say that.
There you go.
Now, you know that Remy bring out the scripture in the video.
I see.
And even in these pictures in penthouse, you had your cup of yak?
Yeah, I did.
What about it?
Deaf comedy, Jamie.
You said you never did it, right?
Never did it.
So when you heard the allegations about Russell, how did you feel?
How do I handle this?
Take a sip. Take a sip first. Take a sip. Let me sip, man. Take a feel? How do I handle this? Take a sip.
Take a sip first.
Take a sip. Let me sip, man.
Take a sip first.
Take a sip first.
Take a sip first.
Take a sip first.
All right, there you go.
All right, now.
Now, ask the question again, Charlamagne.
Now, so you didn't do Def Comedy Jams.
When you heard the allegations about Russell, how did you feel?
Well, that had nothing to do with me not doing Def Jams.
That was the work of Bob Sumner, who used to cast the...
My guy, Bob.
I know Bob. He's my man.
Yeah, I used to get weed for Bob when he
come to Oakland. How about that, Bob?
But he would never put you on Def Comedy Jam.
But that's okay.
Well, there's things that I know.
Uh-oh. And there's
things that I probably
shouldn't say on your very popular
radio slash
television show. But I'll tell you something
in your ear when we get off here.
And I just know them allegations, they probably
gonna stick. God damn.
Jesus Christ. You might as well just say what you know
now.
Jesus Christ.
Let me see.
Here, pour some more Remy.
I got a little more Remy over here.
Oh, don't ply me with alcohol.
Give me something right in here.
This is exactly how I lie.
That's all I need.
That's all I need.
What was the question?
Ask the question again, Charlamagne.
Oh, Lord.
I'm not going down there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ask me something else.
You're going to get me murdered
before I get up out this.
What do you think about other comedians
critiquing other comedians publicly?
Like saying they're not funny
and stuff like that.
Faison came up
and he said Dave Chappelle
wasn't funny at one time.
I think Michael Blackson
had his little stuff
with Kevin Hart.
Well, if I was to do that,
I'd have beef with everybody.
So I don't do,
I don't really,
I just,
only people I ever really talk about
is the millennial social media comedians. That's it. I don't really hate I don't really, I just, only people I ever really talk about is the millennial social media comedians.
That's it.
I don't really hate on my fellow comedians
because we're really all in the same game.
Right.
You know, I think the older comedians do show some loyalty.
Now, FaZe, you know, his old fat bitter ass,
he done came up here and talked about me before too,
but I just let it roll off my back and then I called him.
Yeah, he said, I think it was,
no, was it a year? I might have been on Sway.
What'd he say? Oh, just some
old stupid s***, you know, something that
totally
ain't got s*** to do with nothing. I don't pay
a phase on no mind. We've been friendly
for years. I done got p***y for phase on
so he need to shut the f*** up
when it come to me
and let's just all play nice in the sound box and be friends.
And he'll probably watch this and say, that b***h ain't never got no p***y for me.
Well, you don't think he gets it on his own, do you?
Now I'm in trouble.
Now the s*** is going to go down.
That fat, funky, big f***, Lunell.
What else you got, bitch?
I'm fat.
You ain't got no more
d*** than that.
Okay.
We have more with Lunell,
comedian.
When we come back,
don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy,
Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We have Lunell,
comedian in the building.
Charlamagne?
Now, Tori Hart,
she said that
she's cool with side chicks.
Would you be okay with your husband having a side chick?
Nah.
Nah. Ask would I be okay
with me having a side piece?
Would you be okay with having a side piece, Lunel?
Yeah. Why you look out
the window? Because my husband's right out there.
But the n***a that I want to give
it to is right over there with them Tims on.
That's my **** wax.
That's wax on, wax off.
Tell Wax to come in.
Uh-uh.
Uh-uh.
Leave him there.
Leave him there.
Tell him to come in real quick. I'll make my top lip moist.
Tell him to come in.
Uh-uh.
He'll make me sweat on my top lip.
Don't do that to me.
Tell him to come in.
Don't do that.
See, my husband stays in his lane.
He can't hear.
He can't hear.
I know that.
He can't hear in no way. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax. Wax my husband stays in his lane. He can't hear. I know that. He can't hear in no way.
Wax it down for a second, bro.
You know I want to give you some s***, man.
Yeah.
You know, I didn't say that.
He said you don't think he can handle it.
I didn't say that, but it's absolutely accurate, and you're probably accurate as well.
Yeah.
She said she's like, I'm nasty.
How nasty?
Real nasty.
How nasty?
Tell me something.
I mean, you don't like to eat ass, huh? Oh, well, then forget it. nasty real nasty tell me something my ass is sweet I've been so I'd stay very
clean I'm a bath girl I believe that booties should go under f***ing water.
I get it. Yeah, but that's
when you wash it. If you smelled my
ass right now, you would go
f***. Wack, smell it and let's see.
Come here. Let me see what you got. Back it up on
him one time, Ludell. You ain't really nasty.
Let me see. Back it up on him one time.
Ooh, smell it.
Ooh!
Smell it! Smell Ooh! Smell it!
Smell it!
Smell it!
Smell it!
Tell me what that dang smell like.
What'd that booty do?
You're in trouble.
I'm in trouble, too.
It's all over.
We may as well make a plan because we're both f***ed now.
Oh, my God.
Thanks, Wax.
I would give him the business, that motherfucker right there.
Don't get it wrong, I love my motherfucking husband.
I love him like a bitch.
I'd kill a bitch about that motherfucker.
But, you know, I don't mean I don't want to fuck Wax.
Have you ever cheated on your husband?
Yeah. He knows? Why you say want to f*** wag, so. Have you ever cheated on your husband? Yeah.
He knows?
Why you say it like that?
Like, duh.
Because we were separated for a while.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know?
Like, we've been married 17 years, but all them years wasn't in a row.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We had little summer siestas.
I like how you clean that up.
Yeah.
I'm clean, Charlamagne.
Now, you were Wendy Williams' comedy coach, too, right?
I was.
There was a comedy coach, too.
What did you do?
Well, it was amazing how it even came about because just the day before I got the call,
Chris Rock was on the show.
And I'm like, she could call anybody in the world and get them.
But she called me.
That was a blessing.
And see, Wendy did it right.
She hired somebody to help.
She would do her comedy like in the studio at night, you know, to the crew and stuff.
And then she would send me tapes and I would critique and send my comments back.
And then when she did the show
in Vegas, Lipstick,
then I was there. And then when
she did a show in New Jersey in J-PAC,
then I was there too, and I was actually on the
bill with her.
But don't you gotta, like, hit them comedy clubs,
though? Because if you're doing comedy, you need proof.
No, stay the f*** out the club. See,
Wendy don't need that. She got her
own built-in audience already. Wherever she go, it's gonna sell out. Gotcha. So she don't need to f*** out the club. See, Wendy don't need that. She got her own built-in audience already.
Wherever she go, it's going to sell out.
Gotcha.
So she don't need to f*** with the club.
Leave the club for real.
Comics are working out.
She did her s*** in theaters.
If you're Wendy, why not do a theater?
Why your ass in the club?
Did you consider her a friend?
Well, she's not real friendly like that.
Okay.
She's friendly, but only to a point.
She does that thing, that social distance type thing.
But I could say, no, a friend I could call to answer the phone.
A friend I could call and ask for money.
Wendy ain't neither one of them.
Did you see it when she passed out?
What did you think of that?
Well, I thought it was terrible, but I sure want to go out like that.
What do you mean?
I want to drop right on stage in front of everybody.
F*** it.
Go out with a bang. Go viral, bitch.
That's how you want to die? Yeah.
No, you don't. Come on. Stop.
Yeah.
Do you know there's a thing on YouTube,
you know, stars who
died right before the audience's
eyes. The whole slew of people.
I could be on there.
Would you rather die on stage
or on Wax's face?
On stage, f*** away.
Where you at this weekend?
Where you at coming up?
I'm in Denver.
No, Dayton.
I'm in Dayton.
Dayton, Colorado.
Oh, God.
Where is it?
Dayton, Ohio?
She don't know.
God damn it.
Hey, I f***ing ran me for breakfast, bitch, what you expect? Give him She don't know. God damn it. Hey, go out and rent me for breakfast, bitch.
What you expect?
Give them a website or something.
Just go to heylunell.com.
H-E-Y-L-U-E-N-E-L-L.com.
And then you can find out my schedule.
If you want to write me on Instagram or Twitter and say how much you thoroughly enjoyed this broadcast,
you can hit me on Instagram and Twitter,
at Luenell, L-U-E-N-E-L-L.
Any positive words you want to leave us with before we go?
No.
F*** no.
Luenell, don't be a stranger, okay?
Please come back. I got to tell you, I'm so excited to be sitting here in this seat
with so many asses I've sat before, and I always
say, God damn it, don't the Breakfast Club want to
talk to me? I want to talk to them.
And a little bit, I got to send a shout out to
my girl Claudia Jordan, who sort of
got the ball rolling
as my boy Eddie F. Thank
you for, you know, responding
finally to our emails
and hollering at your girl.
So my publicist Mary Moore,
thank you, my manager William Lee.
I thank you.
You know that's Eddie over there,
right in the corner over there.
Is that you?
Yeah, that's the guy
that was responding to you.
Motherfucker, you's a slow email
at responding.
I ain't scared
because you over there.
I'm supposed to be scared.
I ain't scared, Eddie F.
Is you that music producer
Eddie F guy?
Oh, you the fake Eddie F.
He ain't even who we thought he was.
This room now is the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Kim Kardashian.
It's about time.
What's going on?
Rumor report.
Rumor report.
This is The Rumor Report.
Talk to them.
With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well, Kim Kardashian is going to be working on something else.
Now, I know you guys know all the Dash stores are closing,
which is their family-owned stores, the Kardashians. So they're not
doing that good? I don't know why they
closed down, but I've never been
in a Dash store. I've seen it. There's one over here
somewhere. Yeah, there's one in Soho. There was
one in Miami. Yeah.
But it looks like now she's going to be doing her
own line of lingerie and shapewear.
And that's going to be the same people
who did the Good American jeans. Those are
the jeans that Khloe Kardashian had,
which, by the way, those jeans sold $1 million worth of denim in a single day.
Wow.
So there you have it.
So now she's going to be doing that.
And, you know, the Kardashians, no matter what you think of them,
it seems like whatever they do works out.
So that's next for her, shapewear and lingerie.
All right, now, in the meantime, Khloe Kardashian has been pretty quiet since having her daughter, True, but she did post,
I genuinely wish for all of my siblings that they find everlasting happiness in all that they do.
Life is short, and at times we put so many others before us, but one of our priorities should be our own happiness.
Once you have that, it trickles down to everyone around us.
I sincerely wish happiness and peace for my sisters and brothers.
How do you say everything the Kardashians do tends to work out,
but then you go to a relationship that didn't work out?
Business ventures.
Business ventures, I said.
Business ventures.
Because you see Kylie, well, she's not a Kardashian,
but Kylie Jenner's makeup line,
and then, of course, the Good American Jeans,
when Kim Kardashian did her app.
Just a lot of business things have been profitable for them.
Alright, R. Kelly, imagine being
his daughter, because he does have a daughter.
And she's an artist, by
the way. She's in Atlanta.
And they did ask her on TMZ
about the scandal, and here's what she said.
I don't have much of a comment.
It's very close to my heart.
It's just hard because it's family matters.
Overall, it's hard.
I try not to speak about it too much, but it is what it is.
I feel terrible.
Are you too close?
I mean, we're family.
Yeah.
So we're going to deal with each other.
That means no, they're not close.
Awkward conversation to have.
Right.
How can you have a daughter and be as predatory to women as he has been?
I would think that that would eventually change you over time, right?
You would hope it would.
You would hate something to happen to your daughter,
so how could you even imagine doing that to somebody else's daughter?
How would he feel if a girl, how old was she, first of all?
She looks like she was about 18, maybe, 17, 18.
Yeah, she looks like a teenager, and her name's Joanne Kelly.
Her artist name is Buku. about 18, maybe. Yeah, she looks like a teenager. And her name's Joanne Kelly. Her artist name is Buku.
Buku, yeah.
If you were a teenager, I wonder how he would feel if a 50-year-old man was dating his daughter.
He wouldn't know.
He probably doesn't speak to her.
And let's not forget, his publicist, his lawyer, his assistant, they all quit last week.
I don't know.
Have you guys watched that documentary they have on BBC about R. Kelly?
No.
Anybody?
I heard it's really good.
Well, I was away.
I was trying to watch that, but I couldn't.
Not interested. When somebody shows you who they are,
you should believe them. Pull it up. We didn't know
who R. Kelly was. Alright, the Fast
and Furious franchise has something else
happening now, and this is all
courtesy of Netflix. It looks like they're going to be
doing an animated show.
It's a straight-to-series order. It's going to be
based on Vin Diesel.
Well, based on the show starring Vin Diesel.
So it should be pretty interesting if you're a Fast and Furious fan.
Correct?
Correct.
Are they going to let Tyrese do a voiceover?
I'm sure.
I don't know.
It's part of the franchise.
They have to.
They probably have to go to bat for him.
I'm not sure how that's going to play out.
All right, Bow Wow, in the meantime, I don't know if you guys saw this.
I've just seen this.
Yeah, I've seen this.
But he just posted, and he said that he feels like jumping off this balcony. Bow Wow, in the meantime, I don't know if you guys saw this. I've just seen this. But he just posted, and he said that he feels like jumping off this balcony.
Bow Wow.
Knock it off, bro.
You was just up here on The Breakfast Club.
Shot at Moss.
You told us why you felt suicidal at times, and it was because you've been to Australia one time.
Well, we actually have some audio of when Bow Wow was up here on The Breakfast Club, and here's what he said.
You put a scare into everybody when you tweeted out suicide,
I guess spelled backwards, and everybody thought,
oh my God, what's going on?
Did you feel like, okay, maybe that was a bit
much? Because people were so concerned when that happened
and it had everybody going crazy, but it turns out
it's the name of your album. Nah, it's because that's how
I was really feeling. You really wanted to kill yourself?
Yeah, there's been times where I've been saying, like, I don't want to
be here. Because what people don't understand is, like, I done
lapped the world eight times. Sometimes I just question life, like, damn, like, what else is there for me to do? Like, what's been times where I've been saying, like, I don't want to be here. Because what people don't understand is, like, I done lapped the world eight times.
Sometimes I just question life, like, damn, like, what else is there for me to do?
Like, what's the next phase?
You don't have anything left on your bucket list?
No.
You got a daughter.
I mean, yeah, of course.
I mean, absolutely.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Absolutely.
But as far as, like, want to accomplish or...
First of all, here's the problem.
If the name of your album is Suicide spelled backwards,
every time that you put on social media that you want to attempt suicide in some way shape or form i'm thinking it's a
marketing ploy well he's sorry he said the rest of the tweets i'm about to yeah he said feel like
jumping off this balcony then he said i'm sorry but i truly don't want to be here no more and
somebody said don't do it think of your mom and beautiful daughter i'm sure whatever's bothering
you will get better he said no i'm not going to do nothing. It was just a figure of speech.
I woke up to bad news.
You don't think it's a marketing thing
when you see the album
is called Suicide Spell
backwards though?
He might really feel that way.
I think he does feel that way.
That's the reason why
he named it that, I guess.
Because he's been in Australia
too much?
I think he's dealing
with more than that.
I think Bow Wow's
really messed up in here.
I think he's stressed out.
He said he's been in Australia
too much.
That's what he said here. I can only judge a man by what he said. Oh my here. I think he's stressed out. He said he didn't ask you too much. That's all right.
That's what he said here.
I can only judge a man by what he said.
Oh, my goodness. Look, I don't ever want to belittle whatever somebody's feeling or how they're feeling,
but he did say he's not going to do anything.
So if you were concerned, you know, it is what it is.
Reach out to him anyway, just in case.
I wish him the best.
All right.
I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report.
All right.
Chalamet.
Yes.
Who are you giving that donkey to?
We need a young lady named Jasmine Barkley to come to the front of the congregation.
Jasmine Barkley has been caught in some mayonnaise madness.
And she was accused of racism.
And somehow or another, she's using me in her apology letter.
What?
Terrible reference, Jasmine.
Terrible.
We'll talk about it.
All right.
We'll get to that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Charlemagne, say the gang donkey under the morning. Charlamagne say the gang don't get
under the shade. Charlamagne. You
are a donkey.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Donkey of the Day does not
discriminate. I might not have the song of the
day, but I got the donkey of the day.
So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man,
hit it with the heat.
It's The Breakfast Club, bitches.
Who's Donkey of the Day today?
Well, Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, April 24th,
goes to a young college student named Jasmine Barkley.
Jasmine attends William Patterson University,
where she served on the board.
I believe it was the William Patterson Greek Senate Executive Board
because according to their Instagram, she resigned yesterday.
Now, the reason she resigned is because Jasmine is a white woman
who, you know, along with her friend, decided to let the N-word fly in a couple videos on Twitter.
Now, Jasmine's friend is a cheerleader at Penn State University, and I already told you Jasmine
goes to William Patterson University. Now, as legend tells it, and according to William Patterson
School newspaper, The Beacon, the newspaper quoted Jasmine as saying she was upset that her friend was harassed
for singing along to the lyrics of Freaky Friday
by Lil Dicky and Chris Brown.
Now, when I first heard this record,
I told y'all what was going to happen in that song.
Lil Dicky absolutely, positively
called you the N-word through an N-word.
Now, Jasmine decided to get online
and ask the question,
is it wrong for her to say the N-word if it's in a song?
Let's go to Jasmine Barkley's Twitter, please.
Is it appropriate for me to say nigga if it's in a song and I'm singing the lyrics?
Or is it not appropriate for me to say nigga?
Let me know.
Mayonnaise.
That is just pure Hellman's mayonnaise right there.
So disgusting.
Now, here's the thing.
White people, if you have to ask the question on whether or not to use it, an N-word is appropriate.
Don't say the whole word.
Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please.
Don't say the whole word.
OK, I mean, it's just it's just not necessary.
It's not necessary to say the whole word when asking the question.
OK, when you're asking the question, just say, say hey can i use the n-word in a song don't you think huh and you know it didn't even bother
me uh it didn't bother me that she asked that question i'm not offended by that question because
see this question has been asked for a long time first time i heard this discussed was girlfriend
season 2 episode 13 it. It was the sister
episode. You remember that? When
Lynn's Caucasian adopted sister, Tanya, came
to town, and Tanya loved black culture,
and she was rapping along to a Jay-Z song,
if I remember correctly, and she said the N-word.
So it is a valid question, okay? I can see
how a white person can be confused and
ask that, especially when so many of their
favorite artists who happen to be black use the word.
I get it. None of y'all are riding around listening
to the clean edits of any of those records, okay?
They don't play the clean edits of those
records in parties. I get it. So, asking
the question wasn't wrong, other than her
saying the whole word,
okay? So, that was
light mayonnaise. But this next video
I'm about to play is where the mayonnaise got heavy.
Alright? And too much mayonnaise ruins
the sandwich. This is Jasmine's friend, and I believe this is after they asked a question on Twitter
and didn't get the response they had hoped for.
I'm sure people told her, no, she can't use it.
So Jasmine's friend said this.
Nigga, nigga, nigga.
You're a fendish and such a dick.
Boy, the white dude is so crazy.
This was at Willie P?
Yeah, Willie Patterson.
That girl went to Penn State, though.
But this was at, which one of them go to Willie P.
But the white devil is so busy, man.
What in the name of Miracle Whip is going on out here in these streets?
Now, I don't know that young lady's name.
I just know she's a Penn State cheerleader,
and I can't believe she's still on the cheerleading team.
Do you really want someone on the sideline who may, at any given moment,
break out into a chair
of N-I-G-G-A? No, you don't need that, all right? Same way Jasmine Barkley had to resign from William
Patterson's board, her friend from Penn State should have to step down from cheerleading, okay?
If she already has, correct me on social media so I can correct myself, and if you know her name,
let me know too so I can give her the credit she deserves for being stupid. Now, Jasmine has apologized.
And the reason I found out about her apology and found out about this situation, period,
is because I somehow ended up in her apology now.
Because you're an N-word?
Shut up.
Now, I'm not reading all of this mayonnaise-fueled manuscript, okay?
But this letter was published in the WPU Beacon, and it's titled,
An Open Letter to My Friends, Peers, College Community,
and Niggas Who Would Like a Better Understanding
of the Statements Made in My Video.
Oh, no, that's others.
Oh, I was like, she said that in the letter.
She starts off by saying,
I am not a racist.
The video has been misconstrued in many ways across the media.
I admit that the place and context of how I presented my question
was insensitive.
Man, he's, man, he's, man, he's, man, he's, man. Okay, let's get to was insensitive. Man, he's man, he's man, he's man, he's man.
Okay, let's get to some good stuff.
Man, he's man, he's man.
Oh, Jasmine says, when an interracial group sings along the lyrics, including the N-word,
people don't call out those who are not black for singing along.
I posed a controversial question because I was upset that my friend was harassed for singing the lyrics to Freaky Friday by Lil Dicky and Chris Brown.
I was simply questioning why one race has more rights to freedom of speech than another.
Mayonnaise, mayonnaise, mayonnaise, mayonnaise.
Here's where the mayonnaise manuscript gets of interest
to me. Jasmine Barkley says
Leonard McKelvey.
She called you by name, Leonard.
Leonard. And in parentheses
put Charlemagne to God. Was posted
on a YouTube channel. Speaking on this topic
in the video, he states until
Black stopped using the N-word, we can't get mad at nobody else for using the N-word.
Man, he's man, he's man, he's man.
Oh, Charlamagne feels it is hypocritical for a person to use the N-word and expect others to not use it as well.
So you co-signed it.
You co-signed it?
Shut up.
This was 2013.
Anyway, another comment he makes is about how if Martin Luther King Jr. would have come back to life, they wouldn't be shocked by white people using the N-word, but by those of the black race using the N-word.
Okay, I would like to put a lid on this jar of Hellman's because this is all out of context.
First of all, this video was done in 2013, totally different climate,
and we weren't talking about white people using the N-word in a racist context.
We were talking about white people using the N-word the way we use it, and in songs.
Man, I understand you did ask the question at first but your friend was just being disrespectful and the fact you posted that video
of your friend lets me know you wasn't sincere with your question to begin with now i still feel
it's hypocritical to get upset at them using it in that context uh because through music and other
outlets we are giving them a reason to use it but understand jasmine i don't speak for all black
people okay that interview was from v TV, and he asked me how
I feel. You know, if you are white
and choose to use that word as a white person,
you have to deal with the consequences,
okay? And repercussions of that.
And in this climate, in this Trump era, you
are a double damn fool to use that word in
any context. I don't care which one of your
favorite rappers is saying it, alright? Don't let one of your favorite
rappers cause you to get your
ass beat, okay? I told y'all that Freaky Friday
song by Lil Dicky was gonna cause these problems.
I understand it's art, but Lil Dicky
shouldn't even feel comfortable calling people
the N-word through an N-word. Now, this
is where I was tickled at, alright?
Jasmine referenced me saying if Martin Luther King
Jr. or other black historic figures
would have come back to life and how they would
feel about the N-word. Let's hear what I told
Vlad TV in 2013. If Martin Luther King Jr. or Malcolm X was to come back to life and how they would feel about the N-word. Let's hear what I told Vlad TV in 2013.
If Martin Luther King Jr. or Malcolm X was to come back alive today, right,
you know what they'd be shocked at?
They'd be shocked at me using the N-word.
They'd be like, brother, what is your problem?
They'd be in utter shock.
It's like that episode of Boondocks and Martin Luther King Jr.
was looking around at these motherfuckers like, what the fuck are y'all doing?
Like, this what we died for?
Now, Jasmine, you left out the part where I was referencing the Boondocks.
You know the Boondocks is a cartoon, right?
Okay.
Season one, episode nine called Return of the King, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
came back and couldn't believe black people was using the N-word.
By the way, that episode was controversial when it aired.
You know why it was controversial?
Because people did not like them depicting MLK Jr. using the N-word in the episode.
Actually, MLK Jr. said it's the ugliest word in the English language.
Play that clip.
Will you, ignorant niggas, please shut the hell up?
And I know some of you don't want to hear me say that word.
It's the ugliest word in the english language but that's what i see
now it's a cartoon and martin luther king jr is black okay key word he's black all right so what
have we learned this morning jasmine one the fact that you referenced me referencing the boondocks
is legendary all right but understand that is a hypothetical scenario from a cartoon and i stand
by what i said but it's still a hypothetical scenario from a cartoon. And I stand by what I said, but it's still a hypothetical scenario from a cartoon.
And number two, the most important thing that you are any white person needs to know is that if you're white and you use the N-word,
I probably won't care if it's in the proper context.
But I don't rep for all black people.
If you use the N-word, no matter what context, you have to deal with the consequences.
OK, how are you going to use the N word
asking can you use the N word? That's what I said
earlier. That's just silly. So all I'm telling
you, Jasmine, is that this is your
mayonnaise mess and you have to clean it up.
Alright? So please give Jasmine
Barkley, and I just found out the other woman's
name is Caitlin Listro,
the biggest hee-haw.
Alright.
Alright, well, thank you for that donkey of the day.
Now, when we come back, our resident doctor, Dr. Oz, will be joining us.
So we'll kick it with Dr. Oz when we come back.
So don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
Our guy, Dr. Oz.
Welcome back.
Thank you, my friends.
Every time I look at the videos, you're throwing money up in the air, so you got to do something.
That's 100.
Oh, darn it.
Shoot. Once it hits the floor, it becomes property of the state.
Okay.
Doc, I finally met Oprah, man.
Oh, what'd she say?
You told us about the stories you've been talking about her?
No, she walked up to me.
We was at the Wrinkle in Time premiere,
and we had a nice little conversation, man.
She's everything I thought she would be.
She's remarkable.
All energy and spirit.
The fairest person I've ever met.
And she has to make a lot of decisions,
but when you call her for advice, she'll let you go.
She's a real mom.
She lets you talk and talk and talk.
And by the time you're done talking and she asks all the questions and keeps the conversation going,
eventually you sort of know what you need to do.
And then she sort of makes it clear to you.
And then you move on.
And every time we've ever had – she's my partner, so you have to discuss a lot of stuff in different areas,
stuff that can often be uncomfortable, never with her.
I think it was Photoshopped, a picture of those two, because we haven't seen any other pictures.
Just the one picture
he posted and it's mad blurry,
Dr. Oz. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to text
her right now. I'm going to find out what she really thinks
happened. Yeah, absolutely. No, I'm serious.
Say, what do you think of Charlamagne really? He told me
he met you. I'm serious. I really want
to know this. It'll help with my mental health, Doc.
Fine, I'm going to eat. I'll send her a note.
I want to start with detoxing. It seems like detoxing
is the big thing right now.
Everybody's detoxing and they're doing their own different types of detox.
What do you think the detox does for the body and is it good?
Definitely good.
It's not a weight loss technique.
Just to be clear.
It's not about starving yourself.
That's not how you detoxify.
Most people are starving right now even though they're overweight.
So what you want to do is ideally find a plan that allows your gut bacteria to repopulate the way it needs to be,
rest your liver, rest your intestines, detoxify, and then you eat the nutrients you need to fill your body.
So you shouldn't be hungry when you detox.
So this week, we actually have an apple cider vinegar detox.
And I use that because it's the number one home remedy now in America.
And interestingly, although it's been used for decades and people didn't know why it was working,
we now know it works by helping the good bacteria in your gut prosper.
Remember, you outsource digestion, right?
You don't digest your own food.
The bacteria do it, and then you absorb the nutrients.
So the most important thing for you to do is take something like an apple cider vinegar.
Then we give you yogurt.
So we feed the good bacteria, and then we give you bacteria with the yogurt.
And those kinds of detoxes work fantastically well for that reason.
I love cabbage detoxes because they're not all fluids.
They have a little substance to them, but they rest your liver
because they give you all the building blocks to make new liver cells
and keep the liver cells healthy.
They take out a lot of toxins in your body,
and they have enough substance to get your poop moving.
You said detox isn't good for weight loss.
That's why a lot of people don't.
I know.
They're like seven pounds in three days.
That's why I always highlight this.
You shouldn't.
Again, if you're starving before your detox
and then you starve yourself doing a detox,
you're not rejuvenating the body.
The whole purpose of a detox
is that you feel alive again.
I think most of us are walking around
in a cloud, in a mist.
And the biggest epidemic we have in America
is you're not aware of your life
and you're lonely.
So detoxes are designed
and they've been used
in spiritual practices for years.
It's calorie restricted often
only because you're supposed to be freeing yourself from having to digest food.
But they're not starvation plans.
They should have enough calories that you don't feel like you crave it.
The first day is usually hard because you're actually withdrawing from the foods you're eating.
Right?
Most people don't actually ever have hunger even.
They feel pangs in their stomach.
When they eat, they don't feel good.
They feel relief.
Well, what does that?
Drugs.
Right?
So when you truly are detoxing, you only eat
because your body says, hey, I need a little nourishment right now, but it's very clean,
very pure. And you ought to do a detox for three to five days, not a lot longer. And after that,
you go back into a diet. Now that you've rebooted your taste buds, that is a great weight loss
approach. So high nutrients, low calories. I'm on a detox now and I'm doing fruit, water fruits,
whether it's avocados, melon, pineapple.
Anything that births in his mouth.
Blood oranges.
Things like that.
But you know what?
You know, people ask me.
He's an ass, Doc.
I don't even.
That's why you love him.
That's why we love him.
I mean, Charlemagne, you put the ass in the word.
It's right there.
But you know what?
I don't feel hungry.
I have more energy eating fruit and things like that.
But the problem is, is when people are around and they eat other things, the smell of that
just makes me just want to...
That detoxes are hard to do unless everyone's doing them.
Like the fruit detox, as you point out, paradoxically makes you feel great, right?
You think about it, you're giving up a lot of the foods we think of as nourishing, but
you feel better.
How's that work?
Well, if you're doing it and you feel good and your whole body is in a pure spot, so your smells coming into your body aren't stimulating the
wrong factors, you're hopefully reading and thinking and praying and saying stuff that
takes your body in a different direction because consciousness is our most powerful tool and using
it in the right way. Well, everyone can join that, but you start to introduce different kinds of
stimuli that are designed to pull us away. It's interesting. You said that, you know,
when you detox, it helps to take away that cloud from your mind.
I get that with therapy.
I didn't realize that something physical could do that.
Because I used to work out.
I work out all the time.
And I still would have that cloudy feeling.
But therapy kind of just organized the clutter for me.
I don't think you can just do one.
It's supposed to be the mind and the body.
So working out gives people clarity usually.
Meditation helps a lot.
Prayer helps a lot.
Taking a couple of minutes just to sit by yourself.
I always tell women, go to the bathroom,
but don't tell anyone that you're in there just to pray.
Just put the lid down.
You're not really going to the potty,
but people won't bother you there.
Take five minutes and just process
what's going down in your life.
That's when you start hearing that vibrating sound
coming from the bathroom.
Exactly.
It feels so good.
But think about it.
At its very core, you don't just want to work hard.
You want to work smart.
And when we don't work smart, we throw away a lot of who we are, the opportunities we get.
But food is the ultimate tool because our body spends so much time digesting and dealing with toxins you just put in your body or toxic influences.
They may not be poisonous, that you can't go back to what you need to be able to focus on.
And we see this happen over and over again.
And that's why ancient spiritual practices usually had some type of detoxifying foods.
They had a physical stress.
And then there was the mental part, which therapy, meditation, talk, whatever it was would get you there.
And you put that together, all of a sudden you're living life again.
As opposed to wandering like the walking dead, which is what most people are doing.
What are we seeing when it comes to the effects
of smartphones and stuff like that?
Because it's the weirdest thing in the world that we're connected
to all of these people all the time, but people
are feeling more lonely and isolated than ever before.
Well, this week we have the Health Corps Gala,
which, again, I thank you very much for being part
of, Charlemagne. And Health Corps is
this big kids' health
foundation, and our focus
very clearly is to get focus, very clearly,
is to get people, young people, teens,
and realize the power they have.
Eat accordingly.
Respect their body for that.
Test the body through physical activity.
But most importantly, mental resilience.
And mental resilience is about knowing that what's happening inside your body is so critical.
If you can't control that,
you can't change the world outside of it.
And so phones take that away from you because they disconnect you. Listen, our brains don't
have to be the size they are. They evolved to this size. We got to hunt with a walnut-sized
brain. They evolved to do two things, read each other's facial expressions, as I'm looking at now
with envy, and to hear and process voice, as people at home can do with us right now.
So when you can do those two things, you realize all kinds of subtle stuff,
clues you're being given that are subconscious. You can't ignore all those things. Phones pull those away.
You're getting ping, ping, ping, ping, and they're designed for that. It's not an accident. We have
a show that's completely focused on technology and how it's crafted to hijack your brain.
It feels good to get pinged with that stuff all the time. A little push notification here,
a little quick buzz there, a little bit of here. That's the true vibrating of the body.
And you can't look away from that.
And it's not an accident.
There's a class being taught in a college campus right now teaching men how to ask women
on dates.
Jesus Christ.
Because they've never done it.
It's not their fault.
They don't know what they don't know.
No one's ever told them.
They just text and they get on dates.
They never actually, what are the words you use?
How do you actually approach someone because you're asking them for something for them
to trust you?
Smart phones are making us socially awkward.
The whole socially awkward generation don't even know how to look people
in the eye and have a conversation and nothing anymore.
I mean, it's easy to blame them, but since I work in schools
all over the country, these young people,
they want to know more, but they're not getting it.
How can they get something we're not giving to them?
It's our job as the older generation
to supply that, not on the nose,
banging them in the head. They want it.
Give it to them in the way they need to hear it. Alright, we got more with Dr.
Oz when we come back. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast
Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's
DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast
Club. We have Dr. Oz in the
building. Charlamagne, you know, I wanted to ask
you about food as well. I was talking to
Charlamagne about this. When we were younger, it wasn't that
many people, I feel, that were
having cancer.
But now it seems like everybody's dying from cancer.
Everybody has cancer.
Do you think it's partly because of the food?
Yeah, I think the environment, the food.
Listen, there's also the fact that we get people who have cancer, they keep them alive a lot longer.
I mean, the advances in cancer therapy are shocking.
I'm talking about year-to-year dramatic improvements.
Just last week, for the first time, we were able to show we could stop people dying from the most aggressive lung cancer.
That was a death sentence historically.
But our bodies are designed to function at a certain weight.
Obesity is still the number one cause of cancer we don't appreciate.
Because when you gain weight, you turn on hormone systems that are supposed to be turned off.
And those hormone systems turn on cancers.
A lot of the estrogen-based cancers, especially the ovarian cancer, breast cancer,
they're linked up to obesity.
We also have big issues with the fact that we have environmental toxins we didn't have before.
Babies have hundreds of chemicals in their body.
We're not designed to cope with that.
It's very interesting that obesity can lead to cancer now.
I never knew that.
Because people get so upset when you tell them that being fat can lead to health risks
and they throw things at you like, skinny people have health risks too.
Well, that's how you say it, Charlemagne.
I was going to ask you that.
How would you tell somebody?
Because Charlemagne would be like, hey, fat ass, lose some weight.
I don't say that.
I don't say that.
What would you say?
I say if you don't lose weight, you're going to die.
And I don't want to be one of your pallbearers because you're going to be too heavy.
So you say that with some love in your voice, which is important, and I respect that.
I generally find that people know
they need to lose weight. They look in the mirror and are reminded
of it. And so much of weight loss
is about the internal dialogue
around that issue. But if you don't look in the mirror,
if you don't take a picture of yourself, then you're ashamed of your weight.
So telling you that you got weight problems isn't helping.
I tell folks, listen, if someone you
really loved, really cared about, was
putting what you put in your mouth in their mouth,
what would you tell them?
Good time.
It's going the wrong direction.
Now what else can we expect, I guess, this week?
So I'm going to visit the Pope, actually.
Really? Yeah.
There's a conference in the Vatican for ethics in medicine.
And so the Pope is actually attending, parentheses, pending world events.
Wow.
And we do a lot of true crime on the show these days, which people are always surprised by.
But it's done very well for us.
I mean, tons of people watching because they hear about all these stories, but they want to make sense of it.
They don't understand it.
And the brand of the show,
we have the Emmy Awards. We were nominated
again. Congratulations.
Thank you. You got two nominations.
Best show and best host. But we get nominated
because people trust us. Best host?
Meh.
Again, Oz.
But we want to apply trust
to things beyond just what
foods to eat. We do food investigations, which we're doing a lot of this month because, you know, we want to know what's in your fish sandwich.
You know, is meat really a problem?
Is butter good or not?
So we do food investigations getting into that.
But the true crime arena has opened up because people want to know what really happened.
I'll give you an example.
You know those 13 kids in California that their parents starved them?
That's a Turpin family.
So why would parents make children, right, bear children and then starve them and torture them?
It doesn't make any sense.
So it's hard to get these people to talk, but they trust me.
Because they know I'm not going to hurt them.
I just want to understand what went down.
Because it's hard to hate up close.
So I got the sister of the mother, the aunt of all those kids that come on the show.
They're from West
Virginia. And not shockingly, as she began the talk, she shared that they were abused as kids.
And it wasn't any kind of abuse. They were basically given away by their mother. So you
begin to think, well, why would she do that? Well, they didn't have any money. Well, who bought them?
The mother's father was buying the grandchildren. And all that is painful and hard to hear.
But as the conversation went down, I said, well, listen, wait a minute.
You were abused and you didn't abuse your kids.
What happened to your sister that made her do all these bad things?
Right.
And she broke down and said, I don't hate my sister.
And I know people aren't going to understand that because what she did seems, I'm not defending it, seems reprehensible.
But I just want to tell something that really happened in my life.
When my grandfather would come for me, my sister would push me out of the way and go in my place.
Wow.
So what happened that allowed her to go from that self-sacrificing, obviously loving little
girl, because she was probably 11, 12, 13 years old at the time, to the woman that would
abuse her children?
I'm trying to understand that too.
But those are the questions all of us have to address.
Because we have a media circus now where we take these stories and we make simple, easy polemics out of them, you know, one-sided stories.
It's more complicated.
Our brain is so elegant, so beautiful, able to do so much, can take us in such wrong directions.
People want to know what went down.
And so I'm going to search for happiness and for joy.
And joy is different from happiness.
Happiness is effervescent bubbles coming out of your soda pop. It's flighty. It tickles your tongue. It feels good, but that's
not what you want. What you want is joy, which is a deeper understanding of the meaning. What's why
you're here and making sense of some of these crazy, wacky, often criminal cases advances that
and helps you deal with life more effectively. So I'm willing to tell those stories. And I think
that's why it's resonating with the audience. And see, that's why you're nominated for Best Show.
I finally figured it out.
You're good producers.
Like, y'all put together good shows.
Yeah, well, I thought the producers, as you know, they're the power star.
Now, question, Doc, before you get about it, I just have one question.
When you go to the supermarket or any store, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, supermarket, grocery stores,
there's a million and one waters.
There's this water. There's spring water and one waters. There's this water.
There's spring water from this place.
What water should we be drinking as people?
Well, first of all, just drink water, period.
Does the water matter?
Is water just water?
Some water tastes better to some people.
The purer water that's gone through glacial water
or more levels of limestone are better.
The ones that have been chemically purified or filtered, rather,
generally don't taste quite as good, but they're still good for you.
I'm not worried about it.
My biggest problem with bottled water are the bottles.
There was a whale pulled out of the ocean over the weekend that had 60, 70 pounds of plastic in its belly.
It had died.
We have land masses that are the size of North America that have plastic on them.
So I actually was looking at a company that makes biodegradable plastic.
It's expensive, but I wanted to support them just because I think it's a good thing to do.
Everybody who can hear my voice right now ought to get a water
filter, you know, or it could be cheap.
Do they really work for the house? I mean, you have one for the house,
but you still don't drink it, you know,
you still get a bottle of water.
No, I always drink mine. And I tell
my kids, listen, don't be lazy.
Get the glass, fill the water up,
because it's filtered.
A lot of this water, they just take it from town water supplies and put it in bottles for you.
We have too much plastic.
It's getting into our blood supply.
Babies are born with it now because the moms are imbibing so much of it.
What?
Yeah.
But when you look at the umbilical cord blood of a baby that's born, there are hundreds of chemicals in there.
And you're not supposed to have all those chemicals in your body.
It's probably linked to a lot of the problems that our young people are facing right
now so just make a little contribution instead of drinking a bottle of water
get it out of the filter I think all water it's applied in businesses ought
to be filtered as well it's inexpensive it's good for the environment it takes

Angela Yee's back.
Yes, we're back.
Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Eminem.
She's spilling the tea.
This is the rumor report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well, congratulations to Eminem.
He celebrated 10 years of sobriety on Friday.
I know I was away, so we didn't get a chance to talk about this yesterday,
but he posted, celebrated my 10 years yesterday,
and he was showing off the sobriety coin that marks that it was 10 years since then.
That's dope.
That's got to suck, though.
I mean, it's good to be sober, but, you know,
when you're used to celebrating with a drink or some drugs,
how do you celebrate those days?
Well, after 10 years, he's probably not used to it anymore. Yeah, he hasn't done it in 10 years. He's used to not celebrating that way. Well, toast him with a drink or some drugs. How do you celebrate those? Well, after 10 years, he's probably not used to it anymore.
Yeah, he hasn't done it in 10 years.
He's used to not celebrating that way.
Well, toast him with a green juice or something.
All right, well, congratulations to him, though.
That's not a small feat.
All right, J. Cole, in the meantime,
looks like he's going to have his fifth number one
on the Billboard 200 albums chart
with his new album, K.O.D.,
which was released on April 16th.
Do y'all love it?
I like that one. It's a mood.
It's definitely TED Talk music. I think that
I listen to it like early in the morning like when I'm
on the way to work but other than that I don't listen to it
throughout the day but it's a good album. I like it. But it's gonna surpass
Justin Timberlake's Man of the Woods
for the biggest week of 2018.
Now Justin Timberlake's album
debuted at number one with $293,000
but it looks like with Drake
he's gonna do a whole lot more than that so should be exciting with 293,000, but it looks like with Drake, he's going to do a whole lot more than that.
So it should be exciting.
Between 350,000 and 400,000.
That includes streaming.
And I'm sure you guys talked about him
breaking the Apple and Spotify streams yesterday.
Well, J. Cole's one of those guys.
You know, back in the day,
it was who's the best MCs?
Biggie, Jay-Z, and Nas.
And I was Kendrick, Drake, and Cole.
And he's one of those guys.
All right, well, congratulations to him just dropping out of nowhere to those big numbers.
All right, and if you guys, I know y'all are fans of Janelle Monae, Janet Jackson, and
also Nicki Minaj.
Well, they have all announced that they're going on tour.
Together?
Well, no, just separately.
So those are three different tours that are going to be happening.
And that all came out yesterday.
Nicki Minaj said, us first, then all around the world.
But there's another surprise you won't know.
She's going to be doing meet and greets is what it's looking like.
She's leaning toward Nicki Minaj doing meet and greets.
Janet Jackson has announced new dates for her State of the World tour.
And those dates kick off July 11th.
And Janelle Monae has her Dirty Computer Tour that's about to start as well.
I don't think Nicki ever did meet and greet.
She said, that'd be dope.
Yeah, I guess she felt like she said
she had her fans waiting for too long.
Her baby's been patient.
She said, but please don't hold me to it.
She's leaning toward it.
Yeah, that's got to get hectic, right?
Very hectic.
Yeah, I'm sure.
Because I know a lot of people that have huge stars
when they do them, sometimes it gets a little crazy.
Yeah, it gets too many people.
Then, you know, they got to get ready before the show or after the show.
Remember, Justin Bieber had to stop his meet and greets when he was doing meet and greets on tour before.
If you guys recall when that all went down.
All right.
There are posters of Kanye popping up.
It says Kanye 2024.
Keep America great.
And those posters have been popping up in New York, Chicago and L.A.
It looks like some street artist is the person
that's actually been posting up all of that.
So, yeah, I guess the artist is feeling like, you know,
Kanye is keeping America great again.
Would you vote for Kanye West in 2020?
No.
Oh, okay.
You would?
No.
You thought about it for half a second just now.
I'm not voting for no celebrity in chiefs.
I told you all that already.
I don't think no celebrity should be the head of state.
You know?
I want to see Kamala Harris run for president in 2020.
That'd be dope.
I don't think we need no more celebrity in chiefs.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report.
All right.
Shout to Revolt.
We'll see you guys tomorrow.
Everybody else, the People's Choice mixes up next.
Get your request in right now.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine.
I own this. It's surprisingly
easy. 55 gallons of water,
500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe
not. No country willingly
gives up their territory. Oh my
God. What is that? Bullets.
