Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey y'all, Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman, Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history.

Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin.

All right. Well, shout to Lil' Logan. Lil' Logan passed his driving test yesterday. Big Logan. Big Stepple. Big Stepple. Let me hold some of them foreigns, dad. So he's out and about. Yesterday, he drove 442 miles.

What? Yes, he drove, I don't know if it was really 442 miles. Ain't no way in hell. 442 miles is damn near, you'd be in South, no, not South Carolina. No. Maybe D.C. Maybe. Yeah, maybe. Give me three.

No, you'd be in Virginia. But yeah, he drove everywhere. I looked on him because I could follow where he goes. He must have picked up everybody in town and took them for a ride. But he's excited. He's happy. So shout out to little Logan. He passed his test yesterday.

So I'm excited for him. Nice snow bunnies in the past. Just shut up. Shut up, man. all through the town. All right, Logan, I see you. Stop it, man. What's wrong with you, man? He went to the gym. That's where he went yesterday.

All right? All right. Okay. Whatever he told you, Dad, I ain't going to blow Logan's spot up. Oh, my goodness. Okay? All right. Logan is the player them haters be talking about.

You hear me? Oh, my goodness. All right. Well. He's looking at the player them haters be talking about. You hear me? Oh, my goodness. All right. Well, today, let's start the show. Daniel Kaluuya will be joining us this morning. You know him from Get Out. Yes. And what else was he in?

He was in a bunch of movies. He was in Get Out. Black Panther. Black Panther. And he's in a phenomenal new film called Judas and the Black Messiah. Yes. Yes. He's starring in that with Lakeith Stanfield.

Judas and the Black Messiah is a really great movie. It's out now and the Black Messiah. Yes. Yes. He's starring in that with Lakeith Stanfield. Judas and the Black Messiah is a really great movie. It's out now on HBO Max, but we watched it a couple weeks ago. But phenomenal film. Yeah. And director will be joining us too. Shaka King went to school with Ye. Yes. Yes, he both went to poly prep in Brooklyn.

Yeah, so we'll be kicking with both of them today. And then we got front page news. What are we talking about? Well, let's talk about this Gorilla Glue thing gone wrong. Another man has ended up in the ER. He earned it. And we'll tell you what this has to do with Gorilla Glue. He earned it.

I mean, today might as well just be a Judas and the Black Messiah day. Are we playing songs off the soundtrack, too? Yes, we're going to start it off with this. This is a song everybody's been asking about. I think the track listing was leaked a couple of days ago. This is Jay-Z, Nipsey Hussle. What it feel like. What it feel like. Incredible. We're going to be playing this every hour on the hour.

So tell a friend to tell a friend. Let's go. Yes. Drop Kool's bomb. And this is what it feels like. Feels like. Feels like. Oh man. R.I.P. to the big Crip Nip. Beautiful black man taking from us too soon. Can't help but listen to that record and feel happy, sad. Also, Sean Carter is the greatest MC of all time, right?

At this point. It's not debatable, right? I didn't ever debate that. Who did you debate that with? I mean, we all have our favorites, right? I'm like, my favorite is Ghostface, right? That's my favorite rapper of all time. Minus Hov is in my top five.

Minus Hov is my favorite. But if you're being objective, you would have to say he's the greatest of all time. My opinion, hands down. But I wonder if we grade Hov on a curve because he's 51. And in hip hop, we don't think someone should still be great at that age. I wonder. No, I think he did his damn thing in his 20s. I think he did his damn thing in his 30s. I think he did his damn thing in his 30s.

I think he did his damn thing in his 40s. And now that he's still barring people up, still barring people up. Yeah. All right. Well, let's get some front page news. Where we starting? Well, you know, today is the last day with House impeachment managers. First of all, they've finalized presenting their case

and they adjourned yesterday until noon today. And so right now the defense is going to be making their case and then that should be it. Now let's talk about Jamie Raskin, the lead impeachment manager. He thanked the members of the Senate for the close attention and seriousness of purpose that they demonstrated during their presentations

and said this. The question here is not whether President Trump committed a crime under the federal code or D.C. law or the law of any state. Impeachment does not result in criminal penalties. Impeachment was created for a purpose separate and distinct from criminal punishment. It was created to prevent and deter elected officials who swear an oath to represent America, but then commit dangerous offenses against our republic. That's a constitutional crime.

I don't know what he's saying, because it sounds like a lot of legal jargon. I don't understand, but it sounds like he's saying Trump should be in jail. Well, he's saying this is not criminal. sounds like he's saying Trump should be in jail. Well, he's saying this is not criminal. This will not result in him ending up in jail. This is an impeachment trial that has to do with politics.

So this has nothing to do with a crime. Well, yeah, a crime, but this is not a criminal case. So that's something that would have to be done federally. So that is a whole nother situation. All right. So right now, whole nother situation. All right. So right now, defense attorneys are arguing

there's no direct link between actions of the rioters and Donald Trump. And so that's what they're trying to say. But I think the best witnesses are the actual rioters themselves because they use a lot of their video footage and a lot of them that got arrested, what they had to say.

And a lot of them were saying, basically, they were doing what they thought the president wanted them to do they thought they were acting on behalf of donald trump yeah that's obvious right so some people feel like the some republicans feel like it's not legal to even be having this proceeding right now because donald trump's not in office so that's their easy way out of having to make a decision they feel like this isn't even legal all right now a man in louisiana ended up visiting the er he felt like he should disprove the claims about gorilla glue and he went ahead and put it on his lip here is len martin recording himself on facebook i'm gonna show y'all something i got some gorilla glue right here i'm gonna take

it put it on this cup put it in my mouth then Then I'm going to be licking it and get it off. It's easy. Gorilla Glue, garbage. That's good for his ass. That's right. He earned that. If you didn't want to talk to your woman on Valentine's Day, just say that, bro. You ain't had to put Gorilla Glue on your goddamn lips.

Why are people so stupid? Because we live in a stupid society. I don't know when we're going to understand that. He ended up in the ER. He had to undergo what he described a painful peeling at the hands of doctors he was informed that if his wound doesn't heal properly he'll need to have a surgical procedure where the tip of his lip will be removed you drop on the clues bombs for stupidity yo that's like saying well i can't sleep so let me crazy glue my eyelids

together so i can sleep a little longer yeah why your lips why not why not do something that you know you don't have to use every day? Why not glue your big toe together until your toe next to it? You know what I'm saying? Look like you got little web toes or something. That would have been easy. Why your lips, of all things? And why did he feel the need to get online and try to prove that girl

wrong? That's y'all problem. Y'all see people do things, y'all hear people say things, and y'all just so quick to want to prove people wrong. That's all social media is. People going back and forth all day trying to prove people wrong. You earned that, sir. You definitely earned that. You got what you deserve.

Good morning, Charlamagne. Good morning, Angela. Happy Friday. Peace, Rick. What's happening? Hey, good morning, Envy. Good morning, Charlamagne. Good morning, Angela. Happy Friday. Peace, Rick. What's happening? Rick, what up? What's going on? What's going on?

Hey, so I want to talk about that Jay-Z verse. I know Charlamagne was talking about whether or not we judge Jay-Z on the curve. I think back in the day, we used to talk about hip-hop being like a young man's sport. It's not no more, man. Hip-hop is Americana. Hip-hop is all-American right now, and it's a popular culture. So I don't think we should be looking at it as a young man sport anymore because back in the day when it was a young culture, we could say that.

But it's become American culture, right? So we got to look at Jay-Z in the same category like the Who and the Rolling Stones and all that. He's a legend, and we can't compare him to the young boys, We got to look at Jay-Z in the same category like the Who and the Rolling Stones and all that. He's a legend, and we can't compare him to the Young Boys, but we can't just say it's a Young Boys sport anymore. It's evolved into anybody can do it at any time as long as you do it from the heart. I agree.

Jay-Z, legend, number one, MC, God MC of all time. And that verse, I don't know, when Jay-Z rapsed I feel like he's talking to me all the time It's a scripture He puts my thoughts in perspective Like when he said you let them crackers throw them Your capital, put they feet up on your desk And yet you talking tough to me, I lost all my little Respect, that's how I be feeling When I be like man, I feel like Democrats are cowards

Republicans are cowards You know what I mean, it's like but they wanna talk tough To us, But you let them folks run up in your Capitol and just put their feet up all on your desk? Yep. Come on, man. Hello, who's this? Yo, NBA, what's going on, man? It's Mello. Mello, what up, man? Get it off your chest, Mello.

Alright, first things first. All the beautiful ladies out there, I don't care if you got a Valentine or not, happy Valentine's Day. You know what I mean? That's first things first. And second of all, I need everybody to stop conning my guy, Uncle Charlotte,

because he really looks like Boris Chestnut. For real. No, he don't. Hey, listen. Who is Boris Chestnut? That's how you drop my toolbox on my brother getting into heaven.

I said Boris Chestnut. No, you said Boris. Nah, I mean, if he looks, I mean, he look like Boris Chestnut if he was too expensive on Amazon,

so you try to go to Wish and you, that's what you're going to get. Yo, yo, yo, my G. Heaven revoked. See, you got into heaven, and then you got revoked. Yo, but nah, I got a proposition for you. Because I thought I looked like Trey Storm.

Somebody said I looked like Trey Rose. So I'm thinking, you know what I mean? You look like Morris Lefty. I look like Trey Rose. We could start a singing group called Boyz II Niggas, man. We could really take over. Boyz II Niggas. Goodbye, man. I'm like Trey Rolls. We can start a single called Boys to Niggas, man. We can really take over. Boys to niggas. Goodbye, man.

Goodbye, man. Oh, my goodness. Boys to niggas. Listen, I'm going to be honest with you. I didn't say I look like Morris Chestnut. The Screech did. No, you did. Hello?

This is the undisputed WMDC. Good morning, Angela. Good morning. Oh, here we go, Snack Man. Now, people who don't know if you just joined us, Snack Man's a comedian that calls that Swiss. The world's most dangerous comedian. All right, go ahead, man. Tell your joke.

Now that the CDC has suggested that we wear two masks, yo, I'm not mad. Ever since I've been of age I have always double bagged it Yo, King, you gotta social distance from comedy, bro Like, you gotta, like, you should just You should just social distance I mean, stay as far away from comedy as possible Not even six feet, like, 12, 18

Maybe 24 He's trash That was one of his better ones No, it wasn't He's trash No, he wasn't Get his neck, man He's trash

It made sense, at least How did it make sense? There was nothing good about it. Get his neck, man. He's trash. It made sense, at least. How did it make sense? There was like a beginning, middle, and end. Normally, he just kind of leaves us on a cliffhanger. He always leaves us like that. I didn't get it. I don't want to hear the punchline.

I just want him to get punched. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got rumors on the way? Yes, and since we're doing comedy, let's talk about Dave Chappelle. He put something out overnight.

All the gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. All right. Well, Young Blue had some issues with Tory Lanez remixing his song,

Your Mind Still, featuring Drake. Listen to this. We hear the song all the time. He played a lot of it. Yeah. So Young Blue did not appreciate Tory Lanez not reaching out to him, tagging him or nothing like that. Here's what he said. I hope it ain't take you long to record that song.

I hope you ain't spend no lot of money. 12 hours in studio recording that song. Cause soon you upload that shit to YouTube. That shit come straight down. So go get your money back. Go get a refund. Go get a receipt. Boy, you didn't tag me.

You didn't show a lot of that shit. I mean, down did it. Bye-bye. Hey, I agree with Young Blue. Cause you should cite your source. Especially with a young artist. Yeah, with a young artist, absolutely, because I'm going to tell you why. It's folks out there who don't know who Young Blue is, you know what I mean? But they know

Tory Lanez. They might hear that song and be like, oh, that's Tory Lanez' record. It's like, no, it's Young Blue's record. Give the young man some credit. If he was an older, more established artist that people know, I would understand the jacket for beat. But just to take a young artist song and not at least say, what up, Young Blue, or something? Nah.

Nah, he's a top 10 artist. An artist that's been doing it since hip hop was created. Somebody puts out a record and somebody does a freestyle over it. Let me tell you something. We do it all the time. I've heard that. Not just Tory. Every artist does it.

I've heard that record, but I don't know Young Blue. I hear the record on the radio, but I don't know who that is. What does that mean? Jay-Z's done a whole mixtape taking people's beats. Like, everybody does it. Yes. Nas has done it. You know, Chainz has done it.

All right, well, Young Blue and his team had that song taken down. And you can't do that. And then he tweeted, tag me and I'll put it back. I'm a real N-word at Tory Lanez. And Tory Lanez said, at Young Blue, crazy thing is I love your music and your song. That's why I remix it. You're an incredible artist and I've been listening to you since Unappreciated. But if you feel some sort

of way, we can just talk like men over a phone and not social media. Love bro. Drake has done it many times. A lot of people have done it. The easiest thing to do is give somebody some credit. I mean, all a young man wanted was an ad on Twitter. You know what I'm saying? At least cite your source and tell me what the original record is.

Young Blue responded to that and said, I can't call you if I don't have your number, G. I don't want to beef. I like the record, actually. I just felt disrespected. You just saw me at Rolling Loud tonight and ain't say a word to me. And I even performed the song you said you like when I took a pic with your artist.

I go get in my Sprinter and see you remix my song and ain't show love either. So I'm a real person. I get offended. Send your jack. Let go get in my Sprinter and see you remix my song and ain't show love either. So I'm a real person. I get offended. Send your Jack. Let's talk like men. It's on you.

I'm leaving it alone, though. But let's not play victim gang. I'll never be on no clout ish. Yeah, I agree. Artists been jacking beats for years, but I do agree with him. He's a young artist. He's on to come up. People don't know him yet.

Just to get a man some credit. Give him a shout out. O.T. Genesis did it. Mary J. Blige has done it like that. That's what-hop is about. I think he also felt like I just saw you tonight and you ain't say nothing.

Rolling Loud was the night? Yeah, what happened to Rolling Loud? Are we in a pandemic? Rolling Loud was happening? I guess so. I don't think there's nothing wrong giving a young boy credit. Let's talk about Dave Chappelle. Overnight, he put out a redemption song and it's a new 10 minute clip.

You know, he has this deal with Netflix and he's been putting out all kinds of content and he's been performing in Austin, Texas. I think they just closed out all their shows in Austin. Dave Chappelle did end up getting coronavirus. You know, he's been doing these shows in Yellow Springs, Ohio. And then he moved it over to Austin with Joe Rogan. And he started it off talking about getting coronavirus. And I just tried to find a way that I could work. You see what we've been doing. All of you who had to endure this invasive test and wear these masks just so we could be out and hang out and be together. tried and after all these months

after doing all these shows god damn it my number was up and then i had the rona oh when i said i had the coronavirus the overwhelming majority of people wished me well said we hope you get better take care of yourself we don't want anything bad to happen to you but there was a faction of people who said you see that dave chappelle that's why we stay inside where it's safe well enjoy yourselves motherf**kers because i'm better now all right then he goes on to talk about actually i sound like quarantine shaming a little bit what well i think like quarantine shaming just a little bit you What? I felt like quarantine shame in just a little bit. You know what I mean? Just because people want to follow

CDC guidelines and stay in the house, that's fine. You know what I mean? What's wrong with that? I think he was talking about people that were like, ha ha, you see, you see, but he's saying that he's for months done this.

He's gotten people tested to even attend his shows. They socially distance at the shows. Anybody that participates in activities with him has to get tested before they come, get tested a day and he did what he could yeah but he's proof that even if you take proper precautions you can still get it but even so that don't mean that you know even if you still want to stay in the house that's still fine right but i guess he had an issue with people who didn't just say hey we wish you well there were people that were like good for

you haha and well that's how he felt and so anyway he goes on to talk about his show, The Chappelle Show, coming back to Netflix. Here's what he said. I never asked Comedy Central for anything. If you remember, I said I'm going to my real boss and I came to you. I asked you to stop watching the show and thank God almighty for you. You did. asked you to stop watching the show and thank god almighty for you you did you made that show worthless because without your eyes it's nothing and when you stop watching it they called me and i got my name back and i got my license back and i got my show back and they paid me millions of dollars thank you very much i mean there was no doubt that

he wouldn't get his show back i mean he's dave mother effing chappelle and i'm also very happy that he saluted uh chris mccarthy to drop on the clues bonds for chris mccarthy if you watch the you know the whole thing he shouted like chris mccarthy chris mccarthy is a guy who gave me my first ever overall deal in tv and he's an executive who gets it. Not only does he have a great eye for talent, more importantly, he always wants to do what's right by people. I love that guy. We need more executives like him. And he's got seven women on his senior management team. I think he and if you watch it, Chappelle was also saying that people were telling him he was never going to get his show back and there was nothing they could do about it. Well, those are people who don't know

the business and they don't know the leverage Dave Chappelle has. And they don't know the powers that be that are in position now at CBS Viacom. Because if they actually knew Chris McCarthy, they would know. Yes, they would get his show back. And they've got the power at this point. He's in a powerful position. He's in a powerful position. He told people not to watch it.

And like you said, financially, it didn't make sense for them. If nobody's going to watch the show, it doesn't make sense to put it on. And more importantly, I'm telling you Chris McCarthy will always do what's right. If you know Chris McCarthy, then you know that. That's the type of stuff he fights for. Alright, well that is your rumor report.

Alright, now when we come back, we got front page news. What are we talking about? Well, let's talk about Casey Goodson Jr. Now, we've had his mom and his mom's attorney on previously. He was shot and killed by police in the back as he was entering his own home. They are going to give us an update. And I want you guys to really pay attention to this because it's heartbreaking to hear. And the police officer who shot and killed him is still working, still has his job. All right. so we'll talk to him next. And then every hour on the hour,

we're playing this Nipsey Jay-Z joint, What It Feel Like. So get your ass up. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on. And this is what it feels like. All right, that was What It Feels Like, Nipsey Hussle and Jay-Z

off the Judas and the Black Messiah soundtrack. Tell me that's not a hard ball when Jay-Z says, you let them crack a storm, your capital, put their feet up on your desk, and yet you talking tough to me. I lost all my little respect. That's how I feel about them cowards. Yes.

And, you know, Jay-Z never gets bad. Like, you know, people say, oh, when artists get old. No, no. And that's what I'm saying. No, not at all. It's like Tom Brady, right? Like, you know Tom Brady's great, but you appreciate him more because he's 43. Correct.

You don't expect him to still be doing what he's doing at 43, just like you don't expect Hov to still be doing what he's doing at 51. That's only because the rappers we saw before him that age were so whack. You know what I mean? That is true. They got bad. They got terrible with age. They got bad.

Yes, they got bad. For whatever reason, he hasn't. And not is true. They got bad. They got terrible with age. They got bad. Yes, they got bad. For whatever reason, he hasn't. And not just him. They got spoiled. But he's not the oldest, though. I was thinking about Scarface. Scarface is still phenomenal. Yeah, Scarface still get busy. Plenty of rappers over 40 still phenomenal.

Nas, Royce the Five, Nine, but, you know, Jay is a 101. Yeah, a lot of rappers over 40 still get busy. Yeah. All right. Anyway, well, let's get in some front page news. We doing it different this morning, Ye? Yeah, and I feel like this is an important story that we do really need to highlight because I haven't seen much activity around the killing of Casey Goodson Jr.

So we are going to have his mother, Tamela Payne, and his attorney, Sean Walton, give us some updates on what's happening. The officer who shot and killed Casey Goodson, who was only 23 years old, still has his job. And they're going to talk about what they know about the killing of Casey Goodson Jr. and where they are right now with the investigation. Yeah, quick update. He was coming home from the dentist, walking into his house, and the officers shot him five times. He had a legal gun on him, legally owned gun on him. And now let's talk to the mom and attorney.

Good morning. Thank you again for having us. You know, we respect and appreciate this platform so much. And Tamela insisted that she wanted to talk to her friends as we release more information. So, you know, we appreciate you guys uplifting Casey Goodson's name. And we know now more than ever that Casey Goodson Jr. was an innocent black man who was murdered by Franklin County Sheriff's Deputy Jason Mee on December 4th, 2020. And we didn't know before.

We thought that he was shot in the back a few times. Casey's grandmother saw three gunshots, but we've spoken with the county coroner that performed the autopsy. And Casey was shot in his back six times, five times in his back and once in his butt with a high-powered rifle. And he was shot through his screen door as he walked into his own home. He was shot from behind. His keys were in the door. He had Subway in his hand.

And so it was a cold-blooded execution. And Casey was murdered, and the world needs to know that. Yeah. And I see now that there could potentially be some federal charges. Is that true? Yeah. So the Department of Justice and the FBI have been leading this investigation because the ball was dropped early on by the local police. And so the feds have been investigating, and they may bring federal charges. They may bring state charges. But they have been in consistent communication with us.

And so we understand that they're pursuing the truth. And the truth is going to lead to the understanding that Casey was murdered. So, yeah, they are investigating, and they could bring federal charges. Now, Tamela, how are you doing? How are you holding up? How is everything with you? I mean, I'm doing as well as I can. Really, as I stated before, I don't really allow myself to feel right now. I feel like if I allow myself to feel, then I can't fight. And my whole everyday purpose is to fight for justice.

Because as Sean said, Casey wasn't murdered. He was executed. I've seen the pictures of my son's back. He blew a chunk out of my son's back. He has sermons where he talks about hunting people and uses his platform as a pastor to describe police brutality, so to speak. And he's bragged about how he hunts people, and he throws the first punch, and unfortunately, on that day, he definitely hunted my son, and he killed him in cold blood, you know, and I want justice. I mean, my son was a 23-year-old man. He's never been in trouble in the law.

He was a family man. He didn't club. He's never, I mean, he was a good kid. He didn't deserve this. He was coming home from the dentist. You know, when the case first started, we thought he was only shot three times in the back because there were three bullet holes in the screen door. So the assumption was there were three shots to his back, but there's five shots to the back and one to his butt, and I've seen every shot. I did sit down with the coroner

and the pathologist that performed the autopsy, and they explained every bullet wound to me in great detail. He hit basically every organ my son had. It's just, I mean, there's no way to explain how I feel other than the fact I want him in jail. The man still has a job. He's still employed to this day. It's day 68, and he still has a job. He shouldn't have been on the assignment he was on in the first place because of his extensive record as a sheriff's deputy. He was involved in an altercation in 2018 that left two men dead. He was involved in another shooting.

He was on a no-contact order with inmates where he worked, where your job is to work with the inmates. He couldn't even have contact with them. So he shouldn't have been on the assignment that he was on on the day that he was on it that led to my son's murder in the first place. And then he still has a job after 68 days. You know, he still has a job. He hasn't been arrested. He doesn't deserve a job. And that's the officer, Jason Meade, who you're speaking on.

I want to flash back to what you said. So I saw there was a video or something that he was posting where he was talking about using listened to the video was Saturday, to be honest with you. And, yes, in the video, he definitely says he hunts people. He stated that the people that I hit, you wish you could hit too, and his congregation laughed. He bragged about his colleagues and his supervisors being a part of the congregation. They were all laughing and cheering and clapping him on. He also said he throws the first punch. He doesn't wait for the first punch to be thrown.

He throws the first punch. So, yeah, he used it to brag about police brutality and basically killing innocent black men. It's clear. No, as far as this case, what's next now? One is the immediate termination of Jason Meade, you know, calling for that and also his arrest and pushing for that, keeping that pressure on.

There's no video, but what we know is that the physical evidence shows that he was hunted and he was killed and there is no justification for it. So calling for Meade's termination, holding his sheriff's office accountable, as well as holding the Department of Justice accountable for prosecuting him. Also, we're going to have a website, justiceforcaseygoodsonjr.com, that's going to aggregate

all this information and keep folks updated on calls to action and making sure that this doesn't die down. As we know with George Floyd and Eric Garner and others, seeing video is something that has lifted those names up. But in cases like Breonna Taylor, it's the push from the people across the country that gets justice. And those officers still weren't indicted. So we want to make sure that we have justice here, we have a conviction, and that we normalize the conversation around Black people and guns. That's really important. It's perfectly normal for people like Casey to be lawful gun owners and even myself and anybody, anybody else in this country.

And that can't be a death sentence. Tamela Payne, attorney Sean L. Walton, thank you for checking in and just give us any updates any time something pops up, please. Yeah, always welcome. We definitely want to make sure we keep everybody informed. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you all. All right. Well, thank you, Tamela Payne. Thank you tamela pain thank you to sean walton it brings tears to my eyes every time i have to think about a mother not being able to see her son anymore he did nothing wrong he was going into his home correct holding a bag of subway sandwiches and if you follow her on instagram it's painful just to see all the things that she's posting

you know she has other children as well and like she said she didn't want to put out the picture of him because she doesn't want her kids to have to see that. But it's things like that, I think, that finally will motivate people to have the empathy they need to have for this woman. Absolutely. All right. Well, that is your front page news. Now, when we come back, Daniel Kaluuya will be joining us. You know him from Get Out, you know him from Black Panther. And we're going to be kicking it with him. All right. so don't move.

Thanks for having me, man. Nice to see you guys. I don't think you've ever been here in person, have you, Daniel? No. Wow. Well, good to meet you over Zoom, man. Good to meet you too, man. I've enjoyed you in several projects.

You've been attached to some really great movies. I mean, of course, Get Out, you too, man. I've enjoyed you in several projects. You've been attached to some really great movies. I mean, of course, Get Out, Black Panther, and now Judas and the Black Messiah, which I don't want to put too much sauce on it. I just think it's a phenomenal film, first and foremost. Thank you. Amazing. So what made you want to do this film?

What piqued your interest on this film? It was Ryan and Zinzi Kugler on a set of Black Panther on the reshoots, pulled me to the side and they were just like, oh we're making a film about Chairman Fred, they were speaking about that and then they were speaking that Lakeith was a part of it, Lakeith Stanfield and Shaka King was directing

and they told me about their intentions and their reasons for doing it it just really spoke to me, really resonated with me and then a lot of things happened because I was in the middle of the get-out press run at that time. So I sat down with Shakar in New York and I read the script.

Literally, the first script I read after the Oscars, the first script I read was Judas and the Black Messiah. And I just said, yeah, I'm in. What did they say were the intentions behind doing it? About unity. It's about bringing people together. Talking about how Chairman Fred was his beacon and he just brought people together. And that's what we want people to do out there,

you know? And I just really, that really spoke to me. Did you know much about the character beforehand or did you have to study or? Chairman Fred, I knew, I knew bits and pieces, you know, here and now, hearing conversations and stuff. I stuff i remember one was placed somewhere and i was like oh i saw the date that he he was born and the date he was assassinated and i was like what happened wait hold on that can't be right i was like what that can't be right how old was he how old what what's going on and then and i was googling it i was like he can't have been 21 not only that he was assassinated in the 21 but he made it to be chairman of the illinois chapter of the Black Paper Party by 21. I was just like, that's that's incredible. You know, and I just on that day, I remember I went on and I was like, yo, I need to do a real read on all that stuff when I got time.

And then luckily I was blessed to have this opportunity. Yeah, he was assassinated on December 4th, Jay-Z's born day. You know, I'm listening to you talk, man, and I will always be intrigued by british actors who can make their accents go away for certain roles i'm from south carolina and i can't get rid of this accent to save my life ever how was it how are y'all able to do that it's what bro it's like it's like it's like you gotta get in you mean it's like if you're like being a vessel for chairman fred you just go in you can't even approach it with your accent you know what i'm saying with your experience you have to kind of surrender let your go you know what i'm saying and then kind of just come to it you know what i'm saying and when you come to it you have to adopt these not only speech rhythms but thought rhythms rhythms you know

what i'm saying it's like you have to think in a way in that space think in that space and then your speech changes you can't think like a brother from London. You know what I'm saying? You can't think like him when you're looking at it. So it's kind of like a, it's a scenario of surrendering. You know, the story of the Black Panthers has been so misconstrued. Like people try to compare the Black Panthers to the KKK.

Knowing this, did you feel extra pressure to make sure that they were portrayed correctly? Yeah, you know, that comparison is just laced and based in white fear and white anxiety. You know, it's because it doesn't make no sense to compare the Black Panther Party, an organization that was providing free healthcare and

breakfast programs to kids and educating kids to another group that lynches black people. You know what I'm saying? It's like, that's not even, you know, it's, so it's, like I said, we're just navigating white fear and white anxiety.

And we're kind of pushing it to the side and saying, yo, this is from our perspective. This is the truth. You know, this is actually what they did. This is what they had to go through. And in that, they still love themselves. And in that, they still love the black community and pour love into the Black community.

Did they teach you a lot about the Black Panthers in the UK? Because even growing up in New York, they really didn't teach us much about the Black Panthers. Like, you know, they would teach us about Martin Luther King, drips and drabs of Malcolm X, very little about the Panthers. So did you learn much about the Panthers growing up in the UK? No, at school, we did the civil rights movement at school. And it was it was a lot on Montgomery bus boycott, a lot on Rosa Parks, a lot on Martin Luther King.

And then mentioned the Malcolm X and then skipped to JFK and Vietnam. And then it's kind of like and then I remember I just see the other day, like a couple of weeks ago, I was looking at my old school papers. And I saw that there was like these printed, like kind of typed up kind of sections. And I had written the Black Panther Party in the middle of something in the middle of it in my writing. I'm probably like a 13, 14. So it was in passing, you know. But then when you're when you're a young black man navigating the Western construct, you're going to attract those kind of ideas. If you love yourself, if you want to empower yourself, the Black Panther Party is going to arrive to you.

And so it came to me in natural ways and conversations or in watching things or taking an art and like, you're just taking a lot of stuff. That's how it kind of came to me. And I educated myself on it by myself. Like I read a starter's book. Like I was, that was just me doing stuff in my spare time, you know, because it was stuff that I cared about. How do you think a movie like Judas and the Black Messiah is relevant as far as what's going on in the world today?

Like, could you see a Fred Hampton existing? Do you know anybody that's like that to try to bring together all different groups of people to fight against police brutality? There probably is a Chairman Fred out there, you know, and that's what it is about Judas and Black Messiah. We're trying to show that this man is a human being, you know? That you have the capacity, anyone out there has the capacity to go out there and support their community, you know?

And empower their own to free themselves, you know? But in terms of how it's like today, I feel Chairman Fred and Black Panther Party, and through this film, just articulating how a lot of people are feeling right now. You see it with last year with the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. And the response to that is that like this film articulates how people are feeling and what to do about it, you know?

Because I have one of my favourite sayings is do something, start small, start local, keep going. You know what I'm saying? And I feel it's that. It's like decentralised empowerment, you know, that's how I feel. It's about, yo, let's take the power for ourselves and empower people around us. I mean, there's a lot of brothers and sisters out here doing the work right now. And we may have a Fred Hampton type figure in our midst now, but we just don't appreciate them. Like the Tamika Mallory's, the Philip Agnews, they bring people together. They fight against police brutality. But, you know, history always tells a different story

after people are gone. Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say, Charlamagne. Why don't we empower and put those people up in the platform now? Because they're out there. It's like they're just doing the work. They're on the front line. Sometimes, like, real change is quiet.

And it's like, yo let's let's put our attention towards them let's empower them let's put our resources towards those people that are in carolina they are in are in like new york they are in in in oakland they are doing the work you know all right we have more with daniel kaluuya when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Daniel Kaluuya. So let me ask you a question. What's the racial climate in the UK? I mean, it's a similar dynamic. I mean, I think people need to be clear that the root of all ideas is usually in the language that people speak.

So the fact that, like, we are all on this call speaking English because the construct that we are all navigating as like in terms of like racism in this towards black people is rooted in England. You know, they came over and they did what they did. So in England,

the climate's different because it's their land. There is a conflict. There is a conflict, but it is subtle. You know, there isn't an insecurity that they stole it. But there is police brutality. I mean, you can see it in Mark

Duggan, you know, that's kicked off the 2011 London riots and his murder. There's so many black figures and black people who have been killed by, they've just been murdered by the police and they've been risings. And, you know, the Brixton riots in the 80s, there's been

so, the battle's still going on within England as well. What do you say to critics who say roles like Fred Hampton should go to Black Americans only? I listen to them. I'm not trying to say anything to them. Because I feel like I'm in a position where I'm about union in the diaspora, you know? So if someone's feeling a way, I'm going to listen.

I'm going to find how can we come together. And if that's how they feel, there's been a history of people ignoring and dismissing what African-American people are feeling and what they're expressing. I'm not going to contribute to that culture. I'm not in the business of that. It's the reality. So if they're feeling the way, they're going to listen.

I'm going to say, yo, I'm here to unite. And if they feel like, yo, I don't want to unite with you, then cool. You also got to reunite with the character William O'Neill, played by Lakeith Stanfield. Obviously, you guys worked on Get Out together. And I want to ask you what you think about what he had to do, because he's the one that infiltrated the Black Panther Party and Judas and the Black Messiah. And I just think like... Don't give too much away now you give it a lot away well it's called judas and the black messiah and the whole movie is about how this guy

infiltrated the black panther party so i don't think it's a secret based on a true story yeah so i just wanted to ask you when you think about what he did right as as that character is there any redemption you can find for somebody like that? Because the whole movie, I just kept being like, oh, I can't stand him. Yeah. I mean, the stuff I read that he did after that was just, you know. Yeah, he killed himself. Yeah. Even that is how he carried on in that area and what he did to that community.

But for me, it's just to be clear that he is a pawn, you know? It's like he's a, it's the FBI, you know? Like, it's that he is being used by people. And I think what you see in this film is the danger of not caring, the danger of apathy. How, like, and the danger of self-preservation. You think you're preserving yourself, taking care of yourself, taking care of yourself, taking care of yourself,

taking care of yourself. And it led to him destroying himself. And his whole community. He destroyed the whole movement. But the movement can't be destroyed, Angela. It can't be destroyed. That's what Jeremy Fred's saying. It can't be destroyed.

That's why people out there last year, rising up, there's people out there out on the front line. It's just not the topic that we're talking about right now. The movement cannot be destroyed ever. Have you ever experienced the type of betrayal by one of your own that Fred Hampton experienced in regard to William O'Neill? I don't know. Probably.

I don't know. I would have to think about that. I don't know. He's getting into therapy land. You know what I mean? Yo, by the way, I'm sure you needed some therapy after this role because that's an intense role because you had to take on the trauma of a whole generation the trauma of a whole movement I'm sure you had to do some therapy to get that out you yeah I had to look at myself I had to really look at myself and I was blessed to have the pandemic you know I really just sit down first time I

probably sat still since probably i don't know since like 2015 it was a lot to take and i and i can see that like how i access characters is is uh i uh i abandon myself and i don't advise anyone to do that you know saying it's um there's a way that you can get what you want whilst taking care of yourself and loving yourself at the same time but you know sometimes you kind of go well this is all i have especially when you come from not a lot not a lot of money not a lot of anything so you're going to use yourself as raw materials you're saying but you don't realize you're burning yourself like a raw material you know i'm saying instead of enriching yourself and pouring into

yourself whilst giving yourself you know i had to look at that and i'm still looking at that i like that phrase you use you abandoned yourself like when during the role or after during during when i creatively i like i kind of i just i i do the habits of that person so i'm waking up listening to michael metz i'm waking up listening to martin luther king speeches i am taking up smoking i am i'm in the space i'm doing the thing you're saying i'm not me i'm not living as me yeah i'm not doing like i'm living as how i feel chairman fred was living in order to be in that spiritual space and then i would associate that to abandonment you know saying and that's just not that's not cool you know i'm saying that's not that method acting is that what they call method acting i want to call that method acting i don't know

method act is when you're in character all the time when i'm just here and i'm just like yo angela you call me fred that's it call me chairman that's it that's all i want to hear um i don't really do that but for me it's just like i just, Angela, you call me Fred. That's it. Call me chairman. That's it. That's all I want to hear. I don't really do that. But for me, it's just like, I just want to, it's like rituals, like triggers to constantly like, yeah, you're in this space. You're in this space. You're in this space. But I don't know if I took care of myself going into it.

I don't think I took care of myself going out of it. So I'm going to look at my process, you know? How do you get out of that? How do you get out of it to get back to some type of normalcy? It takes a while, my guy. It takes a while. A lot of boss, a lot of taking care of yourself, a lot of just like kind of catching yourself.

What I used to do is I used to go away for a week by myself, take my phone off and thought that that would reset me. But you know what it is? I realized last year I'd carried everything since get out. Every role I'd taken, I'd carried and I hadn't I'd carried, and I hadn't said bye to it. I hadn't said bye to it, so it was in my body. And so I had to look at myself. When you say you take baths, you put some salt in that water, man?

Nothing like a relaxing salt bath. I put some Epsom in that. I put some Epsom in some Himalayan. Hey! I get right with it. I get right with it. You know what I'm saying? I put some baking soda.

I got baking soda. You know what I'm saying? Whip it up, bro. Whip it up. That's right. All right, we got more with Daniel Kaluuya. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. You know him from Get Out, Black Panther, and now Judas and the Black Messiah. We're still kicking with Danieliel kaluuya yeah did you talk to um fred hampton jr about this role also no we met the family so i went to chicago before the shoot because i really wanted to meet the family and we couldn't do that couldn't do on that trip and i went to maywood i went to his chairman fred's old

school old homes everybody everywhere he went and where he used to speak at spoke to people in chicago understood what just understood how he how he used to speak at, spoke to people in Chicago, understood what, just understood how he felt to the people in Chicago. And then later on, we went to a trip and we went to meet Chairman Junior and Mama Akua, Chairman Fred's partner. And yeah, it was like a seven, eight hour

meeting and it was real. It was real, you know, he had views and he kind of just looked at us and said, yo, why are you you doing this and then why did you do this you know like i remember mama said why did you make art you know what does art mean to you you know saying i found that stuff about myself in that situation but i didn't really sit down with the family to go yo you know i don't really engage with people like that you know i said i engage with me on me i'm in a position i'm gonna come here and respect and reverence you know saying and humility and i move like that. Do you know what I'm saying? I engage with me on me. I'm in a position I'm going to come here and respect and reverence,

do you know what I'm saying, and humility, and I move like that. Do you know what I'm saying? I wouldn't want to go, I don't move in a way that I want to take from black people.

You feel me? You know, it's so interesting, just this short conversation we've had, I can tell that this role really impacted you in a real way. And what have you realized

about yourself after playing the role of Fred Hampton? The power of self-love. The power of loving yourself, you know what I'm saying? Unapologetically, in the face of people that want you to, like, what do I call it? It's like, in the face of fear dressed as hate, it's the power of that, you know what I'm saying?

And what, the fact that we're sitting here nearly 52 years later speaking about Chairman Fred is the power of self love is the power of loving your own is the power of loving your community and that stuff who cares if you're celebrated in that way you know as long as you're doing it

and that will reverberate I'm a firm believer I don't try and change the world I try and change my world and then if you change my world then it reverberates to the world you know what I'm a firm believer. I don't try and change the world. I try and change my world. And then if you change my world, then it reverberates to the world. You know what I'm saying? So I kind of just see it like that. I think it really,

yeah, really, I had to really look at myself. I had to really look at my ideas. You have to look at it. I'm going into this room, reading this stuff, like 2018,

2019. I can't look at, I'm a product of his assassination in that sense. Do you know what I mean? In that fear of speaking up in that fear of telling the truth at that time in the late 60s he didn't have that fear they didn't have that shit they didn't come with that they come you know what I mean it's like so it's like really looking at the fears that I had you know what I'm saying and going wow what are they they're

just they're just a way to empower them empower to with the concept of white supremacy. What is white supremacy? What hate group is allowed to be called by their beliefs? That's white privilege within hate. They're white extremists. I don't believe white people are supreme over me. I need to look over that. Why am I

empowering them with a belief that oppresses me? How can I empower people that don't like me? They don't make sense. You feel me? I need to with a belief that oppresses me? How can I empower people that don't like me? That don't make sense. You feel me? I need to really look at that. Really look at the words I say. Really look at it. Because my body's listening.

You feel me? When you say stuff, your body listens to you. Did you find yourself looking at Lakeith differently after the way he played this role? Because he did it too well. Yo, you and Lakeith still got beef. You and Lakeith still got beef, Charlamagne. Is that what's it? I never had an issue with him. You and Lakeith still got beef. Is that what's it? I never had an issue with him.

Is that what was happening? I never had an issue with him. I do feel like he was born to play this role, though. Wow. We're not having that. We're not having that. We're not having that. Where it is yet.

Charlemagne, where it is yet with Lakeith. In this film, he makes the biggest sacrifice. Yes, he does. In this film, he makes the biggest sacrifice. He does. And in this film, he's serving Chairman Fred. Because in order to show you what Chairman Fred is,

you have to show him what he isn't. You can't see the light without the dark. You know what I'm saying? And he served that. And he put himself in a line. That's not his politics at all. That's not how he feels at all. And it was really tough on him on certain days. I mean, he was really going through it. And for him to

not be aligned politically to O'Neal and still give it his all and still humanize him in order to show who Chairman Fred was, to show who the Black Panther Party was, that's incredible. You know what I'm saying? And I salute the Kiefer there. He did an incredible job.

You guys did an amazing job. I want to give some special love also to Dominique Fishback because she did an amazing job she wrote that poem, it's incredible Darragh Brick Gibson, Ashton Sanders Algie Smith, Dominique Thorne killed this film there's so many incredible people

in this film, you know, Jesse Plemons it's like, it's a dream to be standing amongst these kinds of people it's like, wow, you look around you're like, wow, I'm so, I'm so proud to be here. You feel me? Yeah, I don't think this, any black piece of art needs validation

from any of these award shows, but I would love to see this film win all of the awards. I think you and Lakeith need to be up for best actor, best supporting actor, whatever it is. I think it should be best picture. Like, I think it was that good. Yeah, you know what? Isn't those recognizing organizations are a way for more people to see it? And that's the intention of this film. I think it was that good. Yeah, you know what it is? Those recognising organisations

are a way for more people to see it. And that's the intention of this film. We want this to reach as many people as possible. I feel like this is an entertaining film at the same time. Yeah, it's got deep politics, complex ideas. This is entertaining. I watch this with my friends. I make films for my friends that I grew up with.

You know what I'm saying? So I really care about things being, you know, I'm a firm believer of accessible excellence. You know, simple, special. you know what I'm saying? And it being accessible, but still reaching for excellence in terms of craft. And I feel like this is able to reach the masses. This is the last question. How would you define Fred Hampton's legacy? How do you want this film to define Fred Hampton's legacy?

It's about being in what people choose to learn from it in what way people choose to move from it it's how i feel i want this film to impact is that and also just being clear that this is a man that had incredible ideas and really implement he executed these ideas in turbulent times you know saying with a breakfast program, with the free healthcare, with the educating kids, with the Rainbow Coalition. This man, like, really did it, you know what I'm saying? And really cared about his own. And people understanding that and taking that in and feeling that and wanting to read up on it, wanting to learn more about it,

wanting to empower themselves, wanting to love themselves the way they see the Black Panther Party loving themselves and loving their community. I want that. All right. Well, Daniel Kaluuya, appreciate you for joining us. And what about the soundtrack?

Did you listen to the soundtrack? Did you ride out to the soundtrack yet? Yeah, I've heard a couple rhythms, bro. A couple rhythms are crazy, bro. A couple. The soundtrack's a bit crazy, bro. The soundtrack's a bit crazy. Do you know what I'm saying?

That Nipsey J.Z. So that's a movie, bro. Hey, when you get really rich, you should buy a Black Panther because it's something the universe is trying to tell you about Black Panthers. You've been in the movie Black Panther, now you're playing Fred Hampton. You should actually buy a Black Panther. The way Mike Tyson had a white tiger as a pet,

buy a Black Panther as a pet. Yeah, my mom really grew up in Africa, but I don't know what she feel about that. You know what I mean? Yeah, like we do. We run from these people, bro. We run from these people why are you buying these people I ain't buying wild animals my guy I'm not buying wild animals I'm cool

I'll buy a picture I'll sponsor one my guy I'll sponsor one for you I'll call it Charlamagne Charlamagne the Pranker you know what I mean it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's Lupa. Big up, guys.

It's an honor. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club on this Friday. Ha ha! What are you guys doing for Valentine's? I'm just curious. Watching Judas and the Black Messiah.

Y'all should definitely go check that movie out. It's very triggering, very dark, but it's a good movie to watch for the weekend. It's a good date night movie. What about you, Ye? I don't really have any plans on Sunday. I'll just be home. You know, my boyfriend doesn't live here, so. Alright, well, what you doing? Another anal

swab for COVID? Maybe. Okay. Might do that. You want me to help you with your situation? What, an anal swab? No, I'm good. I had mine tested. Alright, well. Yeah, I might do that. I might do that. You need money to help your situation? What, an anal swab? No, I'm good. Okay. I had mine tested. All right, well.

Yeah, I got it ready. Want some of that? Yeah. It really does. It is brown at the end. Okay. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Morris' chestnuts.

Okay. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. Rumor, rumor. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock. Angela Yee. On The Breakfast Club. Well, Morris Chestnut was talking to TMZ about the new series, The Best Man, The Final Chapters. And he discusses his character, Lance, and what could be happening. Because remember, his wife in the movie actually died from cancer.

So here's what you can expect. The last time we saw Lance, he was going through it emotionally and it kind of ended there so we kind of never really we never really saw how lance really dealt with that loss i think in in this in the series you're going to see how lance deals with it emotionally and sometimes he may go a little bit overboard but we'll have to see. Does him dealing with it, do we see him move on to another love interest at all in this upcoming series? That's a possibility.

I am very excited about the Best Man TV series. I'm happy they're getting 10 episodes on NBC Peacock. All right. And now another series that's in the works is Issa Rae has a new show with HBO Max called Rap-ish. That's right.

And it's a half hour comedy. It's going to tell the story of two alienated high school friends from Miami who get together and assemble a rap group. And guess who is going to be working on this? The City Girls. As co-executive producers. The City Girls. As I said, should happen months ago. Drop on the clues box for Issa Rae, damn it.

That's dope. Okay. Remember I said that and people were like ago. Drop on the Clues bombs for Easter egg damage. That's dope. Okay? Remember I said that and people were like, wow, you get people that actually do TV chances and opportunities. No, that makes too much sense. You're doing a TV show about a rap group in Miami, a female rap group. Why wouldn't you holler at the City Girls?

Come on. All right. Also, the label, Coach K and P from Quality Control, will also be involved as well. And she should cast Pretty V. She should cast Pretty V. Pretty V is from Miami, and Pretty V would be great on a show like that. I don't know what role she would play.

She could be one of the main characters or not. I don't know, but I just think Pretty V should be on that show in some way, shape, or form. Shout out to QC. They do it a lot outside of just music. I know they got a bunch of sports players that play for the NFL. I know they're doing films. They're really expanding their brand.

I love to see that. All right. Twitter has confirmed that Donald Trump will never return. Now, the CFO, Ned Segal, was on CNBC's Squawk Box, and here's what he said. So the way our policies work, when you're removed from the platform, you're removed from the platform, whether you're a commentator, you're a CFO or you are a former or current public official. And so remember, our policies are designed to make sure that people are not inciting violence. And if anybody does that, we have to remove them from the service and our policies don't allow people to come back. That's a lie. Twitter, y'all don't get no props for that. The four years that man was in power,

y'all did nothing. Y'all should have had that same energy four years ago. It's easy to do that when he's not the president of the United States anymore. You know what I mean? Should have did that when he was in power. Don't get no props for that. And there's plenty of people threatening death

on folks every single day on social media. What are you talking about? All right, now, a Krispy Kreme donut that was owned by Shaq uh was in flames early Wednesday and they said the structure was heavily damaged Atlanta fire crews did respond to that Krispy Kreme on Ponce de Leon they said it's just unsalvageable right now so it was one of the first locations established outside of the company's main base of operations in Winston-Salem North Carolina and Nashville Tennessee now Shaq said I hope no one was hurt and we will bounce back better than ever

so was it was it uh operating like was it open at the time or was it after i was i think it was after hours i think it was nighttime wasn't it it was early it was early wednesday and they said firefighters did save most of the building the fire started in the back there were no injuries and the cause of the fire was under investigation. You know, they're opening one on Route 4. Did you see it? Is that in New Jersey? Yeah, New Jersey. You know that McDonald's used to be on Route 4 right when you get over to George Washington Bridge on the right-hand side?

They're building a whole big Krispy Kreme over there, which is just going to mess up my time. It's one on, what is that, Route 17? I would have definitely grabbed me a dozen during the fire though, if it wasn't too bad, I'm not going to lie. And Diddy's son, Justin Combs, has landed a late night show, respectively Justin, on a revolt, of course.

And he's going to have social media personality Justin LaVoy on to co-host. I'd love to see it. Now, Diddy has already made a comment about the show. He said, Justin LaVoy is the biggest social media star in our culture. There is no better place for his debut show. We are thrilled to welcome him to the Revolt family. And the show already has some huge guests like Chris Brown lined up, and they're also going to have a Demon Time segment

complete with champagne and music. Respectfully. Dropping the clues bombs for Justin LaVoy and Justin Combs. All right, well, that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Now, Charlamagne, who are you giving that down to? Man, let's talk Gorilla Slong jelly. All right, four, that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, Charlamagne, who are you giving that donkey to? Man, let's talk Gorilla Slong jelly. All right. Four after the hour.

All right. You want your plans ruined for Valentine's Day? We'll talk about it. All right. We'll get into it next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day, ask Charlamagne. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the day is a little bit of a mixed question. So like a donkey. Donkey of the day. The practice club, bitches.

Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but donkey of the day is a new one. Yes, donkey of the day for Friday, February 12th goes to a Louisiana man named Lynn Martin. Lynn is 37 years old. I have no idea what he does with his life, and I am quite intrigued to find out because whatever it is he does, he needs to do more. Okay, he's clearly got too much time on his hands. Now, we all know the legend of Tessica Brown by now, right? Tessica Brown was the 40-year-old woman who ran out of her usual hairspray and decided to use Gorilla Glue spray adhesive, which caused their hair to become stuck

in place. Up and it stuck my ass. Okay, I hear you, Cardi, but Tessica Brown proves up isn't the only place things can get stuck because she was trying to lay her hair down. Listen to Tessica. My hair has been like this for about a month now. It's not my choice. My hair, it don't move. It burns. And they got some people out there saying she did this for coke never i put it on social media to get help now tesla was able to get the gorilla semen removed after a procedure was done by beverly hills based plastic surgeon dr michael obang okay dropping the clues bond for tesla I'm glad you got that out your hair. Now you would think that Tessica would be an example to us all.

I don't know how you all operate, but I operate from the smart people learn from their own mistakes, wise people learn from the mistakes of others model. Tessica did that, so hopefully you don't have to go through that. But yesterday I was reminded yet again as to why I've been here on The Breakfast Club for 10 years, Monday through Friday, and every day at 8.04 a.m., like clockwork, I never have a shortage of people to give the credit they deserve for being stupid. Because Lin Martin, 37 years old, decided that he had to see what that gorilla jizz was hitting for himself. Why did he want to rub this gorilla baby batter on his lips? Well, because Lynn clearly refuses to believe all women. Whatever story

Jessica was selling, Lynn wasn't buying. Let's go to WKBU CBS 27 for the report, please. That s*** ain't true. I'm gonna show y'all something. I got some gorilla glue right here. I'm gonna take it, put it on this cup, put it in my mouth. Then I'm gonna be licking it and get it off. It's easy. Gorilla glue, garbage. But that was actually

Lynn. Let me hear Lynn again. I can't really understand. I don't speak n***a like I used to. Look that was actually lynn let me hear lynn again i can't really understand i don't speak nigga like i used to look what he's saying let me i'm gonna show y'all something i got some gorilla glue right here i'm gonna take it put it on this cup put it in my mouth then i'm gonna be licking and get it off it's easy gorilla glue garbage okay let me translate so lynn decided to take this gorilla banana nut milk and apply it to a red solo cup first of all the levels of niggatry in this story, the red solo cup, the red solo cup is like the Super Bowl trophy of kickbacks. I can only imagine that the way Holden and Oscar feels for actors after winning is how I feel when I got that red solo cup in my hand with a few cubes of ice and some Cassidy Gones on Yeho in it. All right. The red solo cup does not get the respect it deserves for the joy it brought so many of us, young and old, black or white, male or female, it don't matter.

Drop on the clues bomb for the Red Solo Cup. If it's one thing all of us have in common in the divided states of America, is that whatever function we have in from bar mitzvahs to barbecues, gender showers, that I finally got this gorilla oyster droppings out my hair, that damn Red Solo Cup is dead. Now, that Red Solo Cup had a front row seat, all right, to a great moment. I finally got this gorilla oyster droppings out my hair. That damn red solo cup is dead. Now, that red solo cup had a front row seat. All right. To a great moment.

Just like red solo cups have had a front row seat to a lot of great moments and a lot of dumb ones. This is a dumb one because Lin put the gorilla pearl jam on the red solo cup and attached it to his lip because whatever is between his ears and under his dredge and under that dirty-ass snapback, it told him he could just lick it off. All right? Three hours later, Lin showed up to the hospital with a red Solo cup stuck on his upper lip. I hate it here. Now let's go to WKBU CBS 27 for the report. I was there for maybe about a little over an hour, two hours or so.

Basically, my pressure was up. I mean, I was going through a about a little over an hour, two hours or so. Basically, I had my pressure was up. I mean, I was going through a lot of distress also. And they did like a peeling, basically a moisturizing peeling, you know, to get it off from there. From my upper skin on my lip. Basically, all that has been torn off, you know. Okay, let me translate. Because once again, some of y'all don't speak, nigga. All right.

He took the Gorilla Glue, put it on a red solo cup and attached it to his lip. Okay, because he wanted to prove that you could just lick the Gorilla Glue off his lip. Let me tell you something. Jealousy and envy are really the root of all evil especially on social media this dude lynn was just straight up envious of the attention tessica was receiving people be so jealous and upset of the attention folks receive it doesn't matter if a person is going viral for all the wrong reasons folks will still get upset that it's not them this young lady tessica started to go fund me got thirteen thousand dollars and lynn said oh hell no hold my beer in this red solo cup i'm going in there was absolutely positively zero reason for lynn to involve himself in this situation but what also scares me about this is that a 37 year old man doesn't know the difference between real and fake a lot of y'all don't when it comes to the internet

this is a prime example of it lynn and i'm sure plenty others thought tesla was doing this for clout she just wanted attention okay like all these other digital d-heads so even though something was actually real you didn't believe it but if something is fake y'all do believe it virtual reality has ruined folks natural discernment and now you got lynn who probably won't be able to use his lips the same way he used to ever again. He might even lose some of his upper lip. And I must say, if that happens, he earned it. See, when you don't appreciate what you have, God, the universe, will take it from you. And do you know Linda's the same brother who was going in stores licking ice cream,

doing that nut-ass ice cream challenge? Listen. We saw that you're on Dr. Oz in regards of the ice cream challenge. And then from looking on your Facebook page, we do see that you're a rapper. And many insinuate that you're doing these challenges to seek attention to boost a rap career or even just to go viral. So what are your thoughts on that? Well, I would never want to stick no Gorilla Glue to my lip and have it stuck there and have to go through all the situations I went through. Basically, I was trying to start. of course, everybody knows social media runs things

right now. Everybody's on social media. It gets a lot of attention and that's what's going on. I mean, we do, there's a lot of different challenges. So I wouldn't say that I'm doing it to boost my career because people start a new challenge every day. I didn't think it was going to go this far. Boy, when Cardi and Offset said they'd do anything for Claudine, neverudine never lie now he's putting gorilla prick liquid on his lips to prove a point let me tell you something lynn you don't respect your mouth you don't respect your tongue your lips you want to disrespect that part of your face well let me take some of it away from you that's what the universe is saying all right so so maybe you'll appreciate it more once it's gone. And this Sunday is Valentine's Day. Lynn, if you got a girlfriend, a baby mama, a wife, I'm here to tell you that she deserves

better. And by better, I mean a man with functioning lips. A man who didn't have a red solo cup stuck to his mouth this week. All right? Because he wanted to take the lips on her face. Why'd you bleep me? I need to know. You can't describe the action so vividly when you're going downstairs.

Well, it's not. I'm sorry. I'm a good storyteller. Okay? Let me try to say that over there. You know, your woman deserves better. And by better, I mean a man with functioning lips, a man who didn't have a red Solo cup stuck to his mouth

because he wanted to taste gorilla slong jelly. i say that yes how you gonna perform oral sex on your woman there you go yep on your woman's lips down there when you don't have any lips up there okay how you gonna even give your woman sweet kisses on the lips on her face when you don't even even have any lips up there okay how you gonna even give your woman sweet kisses on the lips on her face when you don't even even have any lips on your face there you go okay listen the moral of the story you're saying you niggas is dumb is an understatement all right this is really the world we live in and what's sad these are the people you all be catering to on social media when you get online and you wait for folks to tell you how to feel about things these are the people you are listening to okay and guess what all y'all gonna get what you deserve every single one of you and

right now what lynn martin deserves is for remy ma to give him the biggest hee haw hee haw hee haw you stupid mother are you dumb What you thinking about? Nothing. I'm not talking to you. Who said I'm talking to you? Why you get so triggered? Why you looking at me? Why you looking at me, man? Why you get so triggered?

What's wrong? Talk about some guy's lips and you start looking at me. What's wrong? Something's wrong. What's wrong? Not the draw, man. No, tell me what's wrong. Nothing.

What's wrong with you? How do you feel? I feel fine. You sure? How are you? What's the climate in here? Hot. What's wrong with you, man? You're kinky, man. I knew fine. You sure? How are you? What's the climate in here? Hot. What's your throw with you, man?

You're kinky, man. I knew it. I hope you have a good Valentine's Day. You're kinky, man. All right. Up next, we have the director of Judas and the Black Messiah, Shaka King. He's the producer, director. We're going to talk to him next.

Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. We know that to talk to him next. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. We know that you ride black people, right? Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

We got a special guest in the building. In the last hour, we spoke to Daniel Kaluuya. And now we have the producer and director of Judas and the Black Messiah. We have Shaka King. Good morning, brother. Morning. Well, first of all, congratulations on this movie. They're already talking about Oscars and all of that. Does that matter to you?

Um, no. Why not? Because we don't need white validation. Tell them, Shaka. Because when I first started, not even when I first started, honestly, for like my duration up until now, I've found Hollywood to be, you know, as racist as, you know, the rest of this country. I would say that my experiences, you know, I went to school. I'm from Brooklyn.

I went to school in Bay Ridge. Me too. As Angela, you know, I went to school. I'm from Brooklyn. I went to school in Bay Ridge. Me too. As Angela, you know, can attest to. That experience, you know, like I had cops making monkey sounds to me when I was in seventh grade. You know what I mean? Nothing compares, though, to the experience of racism, my experience in Hollywood, you know, as an adult. And so when you go through that, you know, as I have, I, at least my reaction to it was to kind of recognize that Hollywood wasn't a meritocracy and that I couldn't measure my success based upon, you know, whether, you know, a white male dominant industry

recognized me as talented. And so even though it's taken literally years of deprogramming for me to get to a place where I don't invest in that stuff, while I recognize that, you know, it would be good for my career, it would make things easier to get made. And like, you know, there's always going to be a part of you that wants to, you know, just be appreciated and have your work appreciated, especially by people you respect. At the same time, I can't sacrifice my power that way anymore. You know, I agree with you, but I think this film is phenomenal. And even though I totally agree with you with everything you're saying about, you know, receiving validation from these award shows, these white male dominated award shows, I want y'all to win all the awards because

I don't know what else quantifies success. I want y'all to win all the awards because I don't know what else quantifies success. I want y'all to make all the money, win all the awards, because I know if that happens, more of these films will be made. I think this year in particular is one where I've had to sort of work through that just because, you know, normally you have the box office to prove whether a movie is a success. And because everything is going to be streaming and in theaters at the same time time you don't have the box office to determine whether something's successful so this is an instance where you know a lot of emphasis is going to be placed on awards to determine whether a movie did well and i recognize that you know this movie literally stands on the success the

shoulders of black panther i mean literally yeah you I mean? Like, we don't even get a meeting if, you know, Ryan wasn't coming off the success of that film. And my hope is that, you know, films like this lead to more films about more revolutionaries

across the globe. So who doesn't want that? You know what I'm saying? But at the same time, just on a personal level, I can't allow myself to get too invested in, you know,

what the industry says about the film. It just wouldn't be good too invested in, you know, what what the industry says about the about the film. It just wouldn't be my psyche, you know. And this is a different kind of movie from you, from things that you've done in the past, too. You know, obviously, we know you're from Brooklyn. So you've done, you know, works that actually revolve around Brooklyn and your experiences here. But I think one thing that people don't understand is they think this movie is mostly about Fred Hampton, like he's the main character, but it's really the informant, William O'Neill,

who's the main character in this movie, correct? I mean, I think it's really like a two-hander. Talk about how the film came about before you break it down. Like, how did you even do this film? Sure, sure. Well, it came to me from the Lucas Brothers, comedy duo, friends of mine.

Brilliant brothers. Brilliant, brilliant guys. And they reached out to me and they were like, look, we want to make a movie about William O'Neill and Fred Hampton that we see as the departed set inside the world of the COINTELPRO, COINTELPRO being the FBI's counterintelligence program that was designed by J. Edgar Hoover to crush, you know, anyone that he deemed dissident. And so I just thought that was designed by J. Edgar Hoover to crush, you know, anyone that he deemed

dissident. And so I just thought that was a brilliant concept. I thought it was really, quite frankly, the only way you'd ever have a movie made about Fred Hampton. And the truth of the matter is, is that, you know, when you're talking about making a period film, a movie that takes place in 1968, 69, with that kind of scope, you can only make it at a studio just because it's going to cost a certain amount of money. It's going to require, it's just going to require that, you know? And so when they pitched it to me, I was just like, yeah, this is brilliant. I can see it. I see this as an opportunity to put forth not just this history, but this great man's ideas and this great organization's ideas that I think are just as applicable to the world we

live in today in a piece of pop culture that travels across the globe and that entertains people and they could you know as as chairman Fred Hampton Jr says you know put the medicine in the applesauce you know what I mean I was asking a question about just making this because I saw some critiques of it and people saying talking about Fred Hampton and how they didn't feel like his character was developed enough and they didn't show this but this really was more about William O'Neill and obviously Fred Hampton was a huge part in why William O'Neill were focused on him but can you just break that down and why it was more told from that point of view well I don't I don't think it's actually told really. To me, it's more of a two-hander. It's like Heat more than it is, you know, a movie where it's told through O'Neal's POV.

I mean, the truth of the matter is, I think that people think that because we use this interview that Wayne O'Neal gave to Eyes on the Prize 2, we recreate the interview and then, you know, I'm not going to spoil it. But the interview plays a role in the film, even though it's not in the film a ton. But I think because of that structure, people think that the movie is from O'Neill's perspective. But the truth of the matter is, is that when you're looking at Fred, he's most of the time independent of O'Neill. And it's actually from Deborah Johnson's perspective. That's when you really get a sense of who he is. And so the reason we chose to make it a two-hander was because we literally the framing device that we first thought of and it's changed as we we made the thing was the departed in the world of

that was how we were going to get the movie made that was how we were going to get the movie out there i think from a political perspective the the the reason to kind of make it a two-hander and lean into that is that you have an opportunity to present almost like two poles of humanity you know what i mean you have in fred hampton one of the bravest most courageous people of all time you have in william o'neill you know one of the most coward like biggest cowards we could think of in history you know you have in fred hampton someone who was interested in building coalitions you have in will William O'Neill a pure individualist. You know, in Fred Hampton, you have a socialist and a Marxist.

And so to me, you have this opportunity to really, like, look at these two people who exist on kind of, you know, two different poles of humanity and kind of explore that. And I think in some ways, you know, if we did our job correctly, you as a viewer can kind of watch that and i think in some ways you know if we did our job correctly that you as a viewer can kind of watch it watch this movie and even subconsciously question like where do i fit you know along along that like spectrum like everyone wants to believe that they would be fred hampton um but the truth of the matter is is that there are a lot more william o'neill's in this world than there are Fred Hampton's. And, you know, it's kind of a lost opportunity to just like make this guy just like a cartoon villain

when, you know, he's just, he was an 18 year old guy who made like some really bad decisions and some really bad choices. Like, yo, how many people do we know in prison right now? And they're in prison because someone you know, told on them. Yes, you are so right. So many more people would be like, I'm not going to jail. I am telling what y'all need me to do so I don't got to go to jail.

And that's just... He got seduced. He got seduced. It starts with... The way that they do it is they go, listen, you don't know this guy. Just go and tell me what you hear. You don't, just see what you hear.

If you hear something, tell me. And then they start paying them. Here's some money. Here's a drink. Here's a cigar. Have a good time. And they just start roping you in. All right, we have more with the director of Judas and the Black Messiah when we come back. Shaka King, so don't move.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're kicking it with Shaka King, the director of Judas and the Black Messiah. Charlamagne, do you think it's more important for white people to see this movie or black people? I think it's important for everyone to see it. I made it for my first people.

I made it for black people. You know, there's certain decisions i mean every decision but there's some specific specific decisions in my even like how we frame the assassination that it was like very clear like okay we're not going to show you know this this man getting shot in the head i'm not going to put us through that you know um there were choice there were decisions that, you know, there was a desire at one point, not on my part, to start the movie with the J. Edgar Hoover sequence that you see fairly early in the film.

And I was like, yo, we can't start the movie with J. Edgar Hoover talking about the Panthers. We have to let the Panthers speak for themselves, you know. I would say that was who I made it for, but I also did certain things. There's certain pieces in the movie that I made for white people, like the character of Roy Mitchell and how I shaped that character. I made that specifically for white people because I wanted them It's hollow. You know, like a centrist will shoot you in the head and two years later try to name a city block after you. You know what I mean? How long does it take to research a movie like this? Like just so people know the whole process, because it's not just writing a script and going into it. How much goes into research? I mean, choosing that,

like three years of research. Three to four years of research. You know, it's a four-year process to get it to the screen. And I was still doing... I mean, I was doing research up until we got... when we were in Cleveland.

So I'd say four years. I'd say four years, probably. Aside from sharing the life and legacy of Fred Hampton, what message do you want this movie to send but one of the reasons for me to make o'neill a primary character is i really wanted to show the dangers of being a political you know what i'm saying and we made this movie in 2019 you know obviously 2020 happens and i don't think many people came out of

2028 political right but like you know i think it's still an important message to get across. Just this idea of, you know, it's the old phrase, if you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything. You know, William O'Neill's decision to really believe in nothing other and invest in nothing other than, you know, essentially a capitalist ideology and culture. It didn't just crush, I hate to use the term, crush a movement, but it really did, it really, really was deeply detrimental. You know, the Panthers remained active in Illinois until 1974 for five years after the assassination, but it was incredibly detrimental,

not just to, you know, the Illinois chapter, but to the national chapter as well and to chicago as a whole chicago would have been a different place to try to handle it so his but his actions didn't just hurt those people it hurt him you look at how his story ends you know talking about a dude who in the 70s walked away with almost 200 000 in his pocket damn near the equivalent of that had two phones in his car you know what i mean in the 70s and he still took his own life at 40 years old you know he he he still didn't get a a nice a nice a nice piece you know what i mean so couldn't live with himself so he couldn't live with himself so i think that there's there's value

in putting that out there um you know and i think there's just millions of things you know and I think there's just millions of things obviously highlighting the legacy of the Panthers but it's also I think showing this country's history of repressing voices of dissent you know I think that like I said on the part of Roy Mitchell there's an indictment

of white centrism I think there's a number of things you could take from this movie it's a dense film. That's why I'm glad it's on HBO Max. People watch it two times and get something different out of it the second time. Well, I think y'all did a great job, man. I think it's a phenomenal film. I think it's one of those ones for a generation.

You know how when you was, I'm 42. I don't know how old you are, but when we was younger, you know, you watched the autobiography of Malcolm X. You're like, wow, I want to know more about the nation. I want to know more about, you know, Malcolm, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. I think y'all definitely created one of those. Personally, that's how I feel. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That was the goal. I was to me, that's the blueprint in terms of biopics. And in terms of I remember how I felt leaving the theater as a kid watching Malcolm X.

I read the autobiography because my parents had me on that, you know, but I reread it a million times after that movie. And it's just, it's the blueprint in my opinion. It really is. I read it once a year. I think we should start calling movies like that

and we should start calling movies like Judas and the Black Messiah, we should start calling these types of movies proper gander because the proper stories are being told. I love that. I love that. I love that. Well, thank you, Shaka, so much for making time for us.

Judas and the Black Messiah is available now. So make sure you guys stream that however you have to watch it. It's on HBO Max, right? Yep. HBO Max and theater same day. HBO Max and theater the same day. Shaka, thank you, brother. I hope you get the opportunity to make more. Tell more of our stories, man, because you did a great job.

Appreciate it. Yes, sir. So much. Thank you. Peace. 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 Charlamagne. 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. Yes, so Charlemagne has launched a Mental Wealth Alliance Foundation to establish a fundamental and far-reaching generational support system for black mental health. You want to tell us about it? Yeah, it's the Mental Wealth Alliance. It's myself and Debbie Brown, my man Tim Shriver and Marvette Brittle. And, you know, my goal is to raise a hundred million dollars over the next five years, you know, in order to black-led mental health organizations and experts you know we want to provide scholarships for people that are you

know going into the mental health space as far as like you know mental health work like clinical service providers and we want to provide 10 million black people with free therapy over the next five years and we're advocating for the implementation of a social and emotional learning and mental health literacy in schools across the country. So, you know, it's purpose it's purpose filled work. Congratulations. That is good because, you know, I've been I've been I've been unofficial mental health advocate, you know, for the past few years.

So it's just like, you know, why not? Why not? Why not do the work for real? For real. I don't want to call it doing the work. Why not do do purpose filled things for real? For real.'t even want to call it doing the work why not do do purpose-filled things for real for real okay yes all right where can people donate you can go to the mental wealth Alliance calm you can go to the mental off of lines DECA I actually made some donations yesterday salute to a suit to

Def Jam my man my man Jeff Harleston at Def Jam you know they made a very generous donation as well as Finish Line. So I made some donations to a few organizations yesterday. So it's going to keep working. All right. Now, another good news. Tory Lanez, who remixed Young Blue's Your Mind, still featuring Drake. We told you earlier this morning about the back and forth they have because Tory Lanez did not give Young Blue any credit for his song.

Well, it looks like the two of them are now in the studio after their back and forth they have because Tory Lanez did not give Young Blue any credit for his song. Well, it looks like the two of them are now in the studio after their back and forth last night online. If I ever touch his remix, I might never. Now, officially, I'm going to tag him on anything I ever do,

ever in life. Now, we here. We just made a hit. We're going to keep making hits. That's what he should've done. Drop on the Clues Bounce with Tory Lanez for doing the right thing. Give the young boys some credit, man. That's the least you can do. I don't think it was malice,

though. Everybody does that to everybody's song. I don't think it was malice. I never said it was malice, but I can understand why Young Blue would be upset. He's like, I'm a new artist. I'm on the come up. You remix my song? Damn, at least tag a brother. You know what I mean? And Tory Lanez probably was also thinking that it's a well-known song and people know it's his. But, you know, he wanted a little.

He probably. And he said he liked it. Young Blue said he liked it. But I guess, you know, I'm glad they worked it out. They didn't know each other. So now they spoken. Now they know each other. It all worked out for the best.

Sometimes credit is more important than anything else because sometimes people just need to know who you are. Now a lot more people know who Young Blue is after the day. Correct. You know Young Blue got a record with Drake? Young Blue got a record with Drake. That's a record we're talking about. But I bet you people don't know that's Young Blue. Yeah, I think they do. I mean, he's pretty

popular. Amongst a certain demo. The casual person. He actually, and check out his latest episode of Lip Service. He's been on Lip Service also, just, I mean, I think a couple of weeks ago. Shout out to Young Blue. All right.

Now, Erica Banks, her Bust It remix features Travis Scott. So that's pretty amazing for her. Here is a preview of that. Bust it. Pop it. Lock it. Drop it.

We going up like the stocking. Outside and inside the Lambo is chocolate. like it. Don't care if you coming with gangly or phone at the hotel. She know my body. She don't need the intel. Okay, I like it. I like it. I don't. I do. I like it. I don't want to hear Travis Scott or Busset. Sorry.

I thought it sounded good. All right. Now, 50 Cent, according to reports, after that Super Bowl party that he had, the venue where he had it lost its lease. So according to Tampa Bay Times, Sky Attic Aviation has just six months to pack up and leave. It's a 3,000 square foot hangar and office space. Damn.

I wonder if that's directly because of him or it just was timing. Like, I don't know if they did that just because of him having that party there or if it's because they were already going to do that. I don't know. Timing, honestly. All right. Now, Dr. Dre and April Jones were spotted together and now people are saying that they are dating. Dr. Dre was spotted entering Boa Steakhouse in L.A. Wednesday night. And

the woman that he's with is April Jones. You know, April as the mother of Omarion's children. She's been on Love and Hip Hop. She also is a singer and songwriter. So I don't know what it means, but people think that it does mean that they're having a little date night during this time period. That's not a bad one for her. All right. And Halle Berry posted on Instagram, women don't owe you ish. And that's on Mary had a little lamb. Now, she also talked about paying child support. She said, I've been paying it for a decade now. I feel if a woman or a man is having to pay support, that is way more than the reasonable needs to help support the child. I think that is wrong. She also clarified that while some parents may need help, she feels that in these modern times, both men and women have the responsibility to financially take care of their children and work hard and make every effort to do so. She blasted parents who use

children in order to be awarded money to live a lifestyle that not only did they not earn, but that is way above and beyond the child's reasonable needs. It is so many baby daddies out there saying, preach, Holly, preach. Now you know how we finally feel. Yes, absolutely. Everything she said is 100% correct.

And it goes both ways. She pays $16,000 a month in child support right now. Wow. Come on, man. Come on. She said it's extortion. Listen, you know how many baby daddies have been feeling like that forever? Not to mention baby daddies get locked up when they get behind on their child support. Like, you know how many baby daddies have been feeling like that forever? Not to mention baby daddies get

locked up when they get behind on their child's report. Like, come on. Yes. She's absolutely right. But also remember it goes both ways. Alright, well that is your rumor report. Alright, thank you Miss Yee. Now shout out to Revolt. We'll see you on Monday. Everybody else, we're going to get to the mix

before we get to the mix. We playing a song or no? We ain't playing a song. Nah, we'll play before the donkey replace. Okay. Goggles or something? You need a goggle, man. What's wrong with you, man? I just told you you need a goggle. You sound like you got a little cold or something. Just making sure. You got two masks on? You're making us nervous. What's wrong with you?

You guys are kinky this morning. Yes, and I also want to give a shout out to Dr. Darius and to Bushman in Detroit on JLB. They've been helping me out a lot with my store, Private Label in Detroit, that open private label extensions on 8 Mile and Dequindre. They've actually been doing these giveaways with gift cards for women before Valentine's Day to go ahead and get some hair. So today's the last day for that. So make sure you all tune in for that. But thank you all so much.

You guys have been really helpful. So I appreciate you. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. That's Black History Month. Charlamagne, who we repping today? Well, listen, we know today Judas and the Black Messiah is out on HBO Max. It is the story of the assassination of Fred Hampton. And, you know, one of our producers, Taylor, Taylor's like 20 something. She said to me,'m mad. They didn't teach us about this in school Well, that's why we all have to educate ourselves outside of these white folk schools

Okay, what I'm about to play for you is a quick two-minute history lesson on Fred Hampton. Let's listen The Breakfast Club presents a new Black History Month legend I am the people, I'm not the pig You've got to make a distinction and the people are going to have to the pig. The people are going to have to stand up against the pig. Hampton graduated high school in 1966 with honors, then went on to pursue a law degree. He dropped out and became a member of the Black Panther Party in Chicago. He and other Panthers would follow police, watching out for police brutality and using his knowledge of the law as a means of defense. Quickly becoming leader of the Chicago Black Panther chapter, young Hampton made many significant achievements, such as negotiating a peace treaty between some of Chicago's most powerful street gangs. While Hampton's intelligence and dominance made him a leader in the eyes of many,

it also made him a threat to the FBI. And why they want to get rid of me? Because I'm saying something that might wake up some other people and some other oppressed people. And if all these people ever get together, then these pigs are exploiting us. We'll be able to run them into the lake. That's why they want to get rid of us. He was later assassinated in a police raid led by

the FBI. He was only 21 years old. And that was another new Black History Month legend, courtesy of The Breakfast Club. That's right. Make sure you watch Judas and the Black Messiah, you know, this weekend on HBO Max, man. It's absolutely positively worth it. If you don't have HBO Max, download it, watch the movie, cancel it.

But I'm telling you, it's a phenomenal film. All right. And a lot of people do have HBO Max and don't know it. So if you are subscribed to the HBO package, you already have it. You just have to log into it. All right. A shout to everybody that is trying to get a record deal. How do I get on?

My positive note of the day is coming from Fred Hampton himself. Fred Hampton said, and I quote, if you walk through life and don't help anybody, you haven't had much of a life.
