What kind of show is this? My son listens to this show. The Breakfast Club with DJ Envy, the captain of this b****. With Angela Yee, the only one who can keep these guys in check. With Charlamagne Tha God. I'm a lovable a**hole. And this is The Breakfast Club, bitches! Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. Guess what day it is.

Guess what day it is. Pump day. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Yesterday is Wednesday, middle of the week. And Donald Trump's going to get us all killed. Yes, he is. You know, I'm already suffering from terrible anxiety. I'm actually about to go see a therapist about my anxiety because I just have all these irrational fears. So this week I am fearing herpes and a nuclear attack

because of Donald Trump. Well, we'll get into that in front page news, of course. Neither one of those things should happen to me because I am a faithful married man. Right. I've avoided the herpes scare in my life. But for whatever reason, hearing all this talk about herpes makes me want to take a Valtrex for no reason.

There's your itch. Well, it could have been lying dormant in your body for years, too. Nope, let's not put that out there. I rebuke that in the name of Satan. And also, hearing Donald Trump yesterday, I just feel like, I feel like the clock is ticking. Well, we'll talk about that more on Front Page News if you haven't heard. Well, my morning has not started off that great. Oh, what happened?

I stepped in some dog poo this morning, so I didn't know I got in the car. And I was like, what is that smell? Oh, it's in your car now, too? Yes, and my car stinks. And I have on brand new sneakers, by the way. I was very excited this morning, put on my new sneakers, walked to the car, got in, and I was like, ugh. Remember that one time? You didn't see the dog poo?

Remember that one time when I stepped in dog poo? Remember? Yes, and you made our intern clean your sneakers? I didn't make the intern clean it. Yes, you did. I paid her to clean it. I asked her. I had a photo shoot after the show, and I said, can you clean my sneaker, please?

I'll pay you for it, and she did. And I kept on having to stop and try to rub it off on the ground, and I had paper towels. It's just disgusting. It's nice. You got to pretty much wash it. I just want all interns to know that that's when it's gone too far, when they're asking you to clean dog doo-doo off sneakers. And then they give her a nice crisp $10 bill.

I give her more than $10. Don't be afraid to say no to that. Even if they pay you a little extra on the side, it's okay to say no, I'm not cleaning the dog doo-doo off your shoe. Now shout to my barber, yesterday is haircut day. It's haircut day? Yeah. Like a national holiday? No, no, no.

I have two boys, so taking them to the barber shop is always difficult. They were in school, they were in camp, so it's haircut day? Yeah. It's like a national holiday? No, no, no. I have two boys, so taking them to the barbershop is always difficult. They're in school. They're in camp. So it's haircut day. So they come, and we have a good time, and we just bond. My sons and I, we watch television. We play video games. We bond.

We talk jokes. We have so much fun. My son actually heard the show yesterday when he was talking, when Charlamagne was talking about little Logie's going to be knocking off all these girls. Oh, man. Now, he played stupid. He was like, when Charlamagne was talking about little Logie's going to be knocking off all these girls. Oh, man. Now, he played stupid. He was like, what is knocking off me? Drop one of those bombs for Logan.

That's a good job. Some idiot was tweeting me yesterday talking about, how can you be on the radio telling, talking about Envy should smell his son's fingers. It's a little boy, and that means he's doing that to little girls. I'm like, why are you acting like you wasn't a kid once, man? Why are you like, I hate people like that. Like, why are you acting like you weren't a kid once, man? Why are you like, I hate people like that. Like, why are you acting like you weren't a kid

and you don't know how little boys think? Why? Why? I don't know. Jesus Christ. People just lighten up a little bit.

I know, man. Relax. Act like you lived a life. Some people act like they was born 37. You know what I'm saying? You didn't come out of the womb at 37.

You lived a life. My goodness. All right, well, let's get the show cracking. Oh, Amanda Seals will be joining us this morning. Oh, drop one of Kool's bombs for the homie Amanda Seals. Formerly known as Amanda Diva. Formerly known as Amanda Diva.

She plays Tiffany DuBois on the hit HBO show Insecure, which just got greenlighted for season three. Of course. She's got a web series called Smart, Funny, and Black. Mm-hmm. Amanda's amazing. And she actually worked with all of us at one point in our careers. We were all co-workers. Long time friend. That's right.

We'll talk to her in a little bit. And we got front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? We are going to talk about this threat from North Korea. Are we about to be in the middle of a war? The threat from North Korea or Donald Trump? We'll figure it out. A little bit of both. Alright, we'll get to it when we come back. Here's Khaled, Rihanna, Bryson, Tilla, Wild Thoughts. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Just a side note, Game of Thrones is amazing. I caught up last night. Oh, my gosh. I'm not into Game of Thrones. Oh, my gosh.

I haven't seen ever an episode. I'm not into everybody who likes it, but I'm not into it. I bought up, Emeasy said, the gold made it to King's Landing. I didn't see the gold make it to King's Landing. So if you've seen it, tell me what part it was. Hit me on Instagram or Twitter right now. I just want to know. But anyway, let's get the front page news.

Let's talk Donald Trump. Yes, Donald Trump. Now, he made these comments, and North Korea has issued a statement since. But here is what Donald Trump said during a photo op at the Trump National Golf Club. He's been in New Jersey golfing, quote-unquote on vacation, but won't admit that he's on vacation. But here's what he said.

North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. Donald Trump sounds like he's been watching too much damn Game of Thrones. He sounds like he's in Game of Thrones.

What the hell is fire and fury? What the hell does that even mean? Well, North Korea did issue a statement soon after those comments saying that they were examining the operational plan to strike areas around the U.S. territory of Guam in the Pacific. Now, what did Guam do to North Korea? Well, it's a U.S. territory. So if they can't get to the U.S., they'll bomb the closest thing they can get to.

Right, it's kind of near the Philippines. It's in the Pacific Ocean. Didn't all of this start because President Trump said that he thought they had nuclear weapons or something like that? Correct. Well, yeah, and then he's trying to have U.N. sanctions against North Korea. And so they're saying that the United States

is spearheading all of that. So therefore, you know, and let's be clear, they definitely have been making threats. But Donald Trump is not helping the situation. Let me tell you something. If I was any country in the world, after seeing how America did Iraq, I would make sure I had some nuclear weapons, too. I guess we all forgot when they said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and they didn't. And they sent fire and fury to Iraq. So if I'm North Korea or any other country, I'm getting nuclear weapons and keeping them because this is my insurance policy that y'all leave me alone.

Well, U.S. intelligence analysts have assessed that North Korea has produced a miniaturized nuclear warhead. They don't believe that the capability has been tested according to these sources. See, the thing I hate about stuff like this is because mad innocent people get affected by things like this.

Absolutely. If y'all got beef, why don't y'all just go dual to the deaf? You know what I'm saying? Old school style. Yeah, just old school style. You know what I'm saying? Trump, you got a problem with them. North Korean president, yeah.

Yeah, you and Kim Jong-un, or whatever his name is, y'all just go duke it out. Oh, it's true. Old deaf jam, vendetta style. Yeah, absolutely. Ain't nobody got time. Test of faith. Yeah, man. Why do innocent North Koreans and innocent Americans got to suffer because of y'all ego?

Well, residents of Guam are now very scared, of course, for an attack. And they're afraid they're going to be caught in the middle of the tensions between Donald Trump and North Korea. What about residents of New Jersey? And residents of New Jersey have anxiety, too. Well, I guess the attack or the threat to Guam is really the most imminent threat right now. All right. Okay. All right.

Good to hear. That makes my anxiety go down just a little bit. It's not good to hear. Well, that's front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe you had a great night and you want to spread some positivity, or maybe you had a

Started this CrossFit workout almost 90 days ago. My starting weight was about 262 pounds, and my goal was 225. I got three more weeks left, and I'm about 12 pounds shy of my goal. Drop one of Clues' bombs for my guy. I'm going to tell you something. It's incredible. That last 12 pounds is going to be the hardest to lose, but you're going to do it, brother.

Thank you, Charlamagne. You guys take it easy, man. Let me ask you a question. Can you look down and see your penis yet? Is the stomach still in the way? Of course, man. Alright, just make it short, brother. You're making progress. Congrats, man. Hello, who's this?

This is Tony. Get it off your chest, Tony. Yo, man, I'm still mad Colin Copland didn't get signed yet, man. And they let Jay Cutler get signed, so that's what I'm mad about. Listen, Colin going to be all right. I think Colin got a bigger calling than football. And they're doing a march for him, a rally.

When? On August 23rd at 5 p.m. outside NFL headquarters in New York. United We Stand rally for Colin Kaepernick, man. That's my guy, Luther Colin Kaepernick. Good stand-up dude. I don't know why you wouldn't want him on your team. And everybody that is against Colin Kaepernick is always showing

their hand because I don't give a damn that he kneeled for the flag because kneeling for that flag was standing up for the injustice that other Americans were facing at the hands of the police. If you don't agree with that, then, you know, I just can't rock with you. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent,

And it's just scary. I gotta bring a baby into this. You know what I'm saying? This is my first baby, and I gotta worry about war, you know? And it's just scary. I mean, we all got kids, you know what I'm saying? And it is scary. It's very scary. Like, I don't want to die

That's not another thing I want to add to the list of things that make me be a hypochondriac. Right, right. I understand that.

All right. Thank you. Thank you. Bye-bye, mama. Hello, who's this? It's Slow Mo. What's good? DJ Envy.

What's up, Slow Mo? Hey, Shiggity, man. Hey, Slow Mo, you need to change your name, man, because every time I hear slow-mo, that rhymes with something else, and it makes me think something else. No, it doesn't. It's slow-motion. Go ahead, man. Get it off your chest, slow-mo.

It's slow-motion, man. Let me get this off my chest, you guy. Go ahead. You know what, man? I saw a girl's shit for the first time yesterday. I saw the grapefruit scene, man, my girl, and I asked her what's going on. She's allergic to grapefruit, so I need to know what's going on, man.

I need some different citrus. I need something, man. Let me ask you a question. She's allergic to grapefruit. So I need to know what's going on, man. I need some different citrus. I need something, man. Let me ask you a question. Do you have a grapefruit-sized penis? Because you might not need a grapefruit. You might need a peach. Yes, sir. No, yes, sir.

Hey, come on. What type of question is that? I'm just saying. If you answer that question, you just as bad. Don't go changing. Man, look, he's questionable, man. See the guy? He's questionable.

I'm just telling you, you got to know the size of your penis. Everybody don't have a grapefruit-sized penis like me. I'm more of a peach. You might be a plum. You express your penis size on the air, sir. We all know what you work with, sir. Seven inches, three-fourths, eight when it's warm up. All right, let's keep it moving.

I'm more of a night-sized peach. I don't need a whole grapefruit. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Kendra from Indianapolis. Hey, you're flirting with him right now. I'm more of a night-size peach.

All right. Get it off your chest. 805-85-1051. And I asked earlier about Game of Thrones, and they're saying the money, the gold, did make it to King's Landing. I must have missed that part, but the money did make it to King's Landing. That's what people are hitting me on social media telling me. Now, Yeen, we got rumors on the way? Well, since you were talking Game of Thrones, I'm going to tell you what's going to happen. No. Because they have all the scripts. Do they? That are leaked out.

But I'll give you all that information. That's so whack. That is whack. All right. We'll talk about it when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning, and don't forget Amanda Seals, a.k.a. Amanda Diva. It ain't no a.k.a. Amanda Diva. Formally known as. Amanda Diva was done. It's Amanda Seals. Well.k.a. Amanda Deva. It ain't no a.k.a. Amanda Deva. Formally known as. It's Amanda Seals.

She'll be joining us next hour, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor report. This is the rumor report. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.

Yes, so apparently there was a security breach at HBO. No! You don't even know what happened yet. I didn't finish. Jesus Christ. Yes, so they have hacked and broken to HBO systems. They got scripts for upcoming Game of Thrones episodes. They have two unreleased episodes of Ballers and Room 104.

And they also have the personal phone numbers and email episodes of Ballers and Room 104. And they also have the personal phone numbers and email addresses of some Game of Thrones actors. So all of that has been leaked online. You know what's so crazy? Guys like Envy and Hits are like, no, you know good and damn well you ain't reading no whole script. You are not reading no whole script. People are gonna be

writing up on it. They're gonna be telling what happened. They're gonna be putting spoilers out there. You're not gonna read it. They're gonna put it on the site, the whole blog site. No they're not be telling what happened. They're going to be putting spoilers out there. You're not going to read it. They're going to put it on the site, on the blog site. No, they're not. Because I don't think they want to ruin that for everyone.

By the way, I hate people that do stuff like that. That's whack. I create content for television and stuff like that. And, you know,

to put all of that work into something and just have somebody hack it and leak it, that's so disgusting. Well, the hackers are asking for our six-month salary

in Bitcoin, which they said is about at least $6 million. So that's what they want. I remember one time somebody hacked into Powers TV. I remember. And they tried to sell me the scripts. You're like, what am I going to do

with this? Act them out? Yeah, I called Fifth. Somebody tried to sell it to me. I called Fifth too. By the way, that guy's in jail now. So I just want y'all to know, you know, we take this very seriously. He's in jail? Yes, he is.

That's a serious offense, man. You can't be taking people's work like that and just trying to sell it. Fifth was mad about that. I bet. All right, now Judge Judy, in the meantime, and you all know

she's one of television's biggest stars. She makes a lot of money, Judge Judy. She just sold her entire 10,400 show archive back to CBS. How much? Because she is extending her contract through 2021 for $95 million. Jeez, Judge Judy. I love it. I love it.

I want a clean bond for Judge Judy. Absolutely. She's 70 years old now. She makes about $45 million a year. Oh, my goodness. But her show, Judge Judy, bought in $244 million in ad revenue last year. I love Judge Judy. Judge Judy needs to sign Colin Kaepernick just because.

Just sign him. Just sign him and throw the ball in her backyard. Even in the summer when she's on hiatus and it's a rerun, she still just outdoes the competition. I love Judge Judy. God bless her, man. All right. Now let's discuss Donald Glover, a.k.a. Childish Gambino. What's he been up to? You know, he's

been living in London, filming the latest Star Wars movie, and he's also been working on some new music. He said he's been very inspired out in London, and he hasn't decided whether or not he's going to have any UK acts on there, but he's been listening to a lot of British music. What else has he been doing? Well, he's getting

ready for season two of Atlanta. Here's what he had to say. I'm not the type of person to rush anything. I feel like if you rush it, you're going to get something you don't want, and then you'll start to question why you even liked it. So I'm not going to make anything until it's ready, but to be

completely honest, it's almost ready. I'm pretty happy with a lot of the things. I think it's better than the first season. It's almost there. You just gotta wait a little longer. Ironically, when I was flying back from London on Sunday,

on that seven and a half hour flight, I watched Atlanta on the plane. The whole season of Atlanta. Atlanta, we thought it was good when we first watched it Oh it was great It's classic bro It's classic And I was watching

I was Never mind What No no I was watching the episode Where the guy Where Paperboy was on The talk show

And they was pressing him About his comments His tweets about Transgender people That was a funny episode That was funny Okay Alright

And let's get ready for this The documentary on A&E Biggie The Life of the Notorious B.I.G. Now they have a preview They just put out And on that preview Is Jay-Z and Nas

Rapping some Very memorable Biggie lyrics Check it out I can hear the sweat Trickling down your cheek Heartbeat sound like Sasquatch feet

Stop when I fold the plot. Neighbors call the cops because they heard match. It's like, okay. This is one of the greatest I've ever touched a mic. Ever. They shouldn't have put that beat under it. It doesn't even match. Well, that movie's going to be coming out September 4th.

And it's the first biography authorized by Biggie's estate. So it'll be on A&E. Oh, it's going to be on A&E? Yeah. A&E doing some fire docs, man. They got another. Oh, it's going to be on A&E? Yeah. A&E doing some fire docs, man. They got another doc coming out that's going to be really dope. What's that?

Can't talk about it. Well, why say it then? What's wrong with you? I just remembered I can't talk about it. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. All right.

Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, Amanda Seals will be in the building, so we'll kick it with Amanda Seals, previously known as Amanda Diva. Yes, formerly known as. Formerly known as Amanda Diva. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

That was Future with Mask Off. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have a special guest in the building. The homie. Amanda Diva. No, Amanda Seals.

Amanda Diva Bende. That's not Amanda, Amanda Seals. Amanda Diva Bende. That's not Amanda Diva over there. Amanda Diva Bende. All right. This is Amanda Seals. Thanks, guys. Amanda Diva lives in Harlem. Amanda Seals is in Hollywood.

There you go. That is a good way to start, though, because I always loved the story of why you got rid of Amanda Diva. Well, there was a couple things. She fought a long time for getting rid of it, too. Well, you let her tell her own story. I was about to say that. He's just making it known. Like, I things I thought a long time for getting rid of it He's just making you know, I know you for a long time

He really he knows this yes, I really did but no I turned like 30 and it just felt stupid What are you really little young diva? Yeah, little young diva. And then, you know who really was on my back? Green Lantern. Really? Never. Sleuth of Green Lantern. Like, years and years and years. And on my 20th, like, the night before I turned 30, he called me at 1130 and was like, you changed it, right?

And I was like, go get off my back. And at the time, I was doing a web series on Black Voices for AOL, and I was trying to get an interview at Wiz, and I couldn't get an interview at Wiz, but Quincy Jones was like, I'd love for you to interview me. And Green was like, but you see, that's a testament to why you gotta change the name,

because you are trying to elevate to interviewing folks that are already legends, not just be stuck in this hip-hop shit. And I was like, I mean, I guess, yeah, like, whatever. I guess so. But here was the final catalyst. A week later, I went to an event, and the chick at the door was like, I guess, yeah, like, whatever. I guess so. But here was the final catalyst. A week later, I went to an event, and the chick at the door was like, what's your name?

And I said, it's Amanda Diva. And she goes, yes, bitch, yes! All right! And I was like, all right, all right, all right. I'm going to let it go. Was it a bad stigma to Diva or something? Yes. Okay.

You know, it was like an albatross around my neck. And I'm already just not here for the bull. So you attach that to the word diva and it becomes bitch. And it's just like, you're fighting before you even walk in the door. I always felt that was weird because people would always say, oh, Amanda's got an attitude. But to me, you just don't take no shit. Well, that's because. And you speak your mind.

The same people say that you are an asshole. Yeah. But let's be clear now. Amanda has. This is true though. Amanda has actually at clear now. But his is true, though. Amanda has actually at one point or another worked with all of us, evolving coworkers. Can I tell y'all a touching story?

Yes. Okay, so I came here in October of 2013, and I was doing a one-woman show. And after I left here and seeing y'all, I cried for a whole day. Wow. And my mom was visiting, and she was like, what's wrong with you? You know, West Indian parents, you mom was visiting, and she was like, what's wrong with you? You know, West Indian parents, you can't cry.

So she's like, what's wrong with you? And I was like, I don't even know. And the next day, I was like, I don't even know. I don't even know. I'm just going through it. I'm a cancer. I'm feeling feelings. And the next morning, I woke up, and I knew what it was.

And I was like, you know what? I've known all of them for so long, and they had found their home, and they had found their passion, and they had found their home and they had found like their passion and they had found their purpose and I was still floundering and it was like I was crying because of being inspired by y'all but it also was like a mirror to show me

like bitch get it together and then that day I created my web series Things I Learned This Week and even though like it never got crazy views What it did was It created a home For me as a comedian And it was where

I honed my skills As a writer And as a comedian And that's how My agent Who ended up Signing me to CAA That's how she found me

That's amazing What made you Leave New York And go to LA Because that's a big jump You just packed up And left right No I mean

It was time Like a lot of people Don't know I was in hip hop With y'all for years, right? And then I started transitioning, and I was always, like, a funny broad, but then I, like, started pursuing, like, doing stand-up,

and then once I was really in the mix of stand-up, it just became, like, a natural thing to go to L.A. And I went to L.A. for the first time, and I got more done in one week than I had gotten done in a year. That makes sense. In New York. And I was like, okay, so maybe you need to spend more time here.

And so I had a lot of miles. And then in February 2015, my building, the pipes froze. And y'all know, I lived in the same building forever. Yes, in Harlem. The pipes froze. My mom was visiting me. We had no heat and no water for two weeks. Her and the cat was quarantined in my room.

And I went out to L.A. for a meeting, and I was sitting on Santa Monica Beach, and my mother sent me a picture, and the toilet had frozen. Yikes. No need to come back to that. And I literally, I replied back, and I said, I'm moving. And she's like, go for it, man. And that was that. And I just started the process.

I kept meeting people that just were like, go, go, go. Like, I ran into Issa and she was like, there's a community out here. Come out here. Like, the head of casting at ABC, this head of casting for like all these. Yeah, Tommy. Tommy, what's up, Tommy? And when casting people tell you you're going to work, make the move. But it was also like New York had, I'd had my time. Amanda's a real

renaissance woman, just thinking about everything that you've done because you started off acting at a young age and then you were hosting as a VJ, then you had your own radio show, then you were actually doing music. I always wanted you to pursue more radio. I'm not going to lie. Everything comes back.

Now you were a member of Floor Tree at one point. We had Marsha up here. Matter of fact, let's throw to when Marsha was on The Breakfast Club. You know, I tried to fight her. Like physically? Yeah, I was going to fight her in Atlanta with the Ritz Carlton. Why? Because she was getting frustrated.

I guess the other girl in Floor Tree had done an interview with Wendy Williams and was saying that this is some temporary bulls**t, yada, yada, yada. So, you know, bullets fly and Amanda calls me in my hotel room like, you know what, I'm sick of this s**t. F**k you. Hangs up on me. Amanda don't bite her tongue. So she don't bite her tongue.

I have to respect it. I know. She told. Everybody told me. Yeah, she told the story. So what happened with Flowetry? What was good and what was bad? Why was you and Marsha about the fist fight?

An abundance of questions. First of all, I don't fist fight because that's not my forte. I don't do things that I'm not good at. I'm a verbal fighter. So that's that. There was just a certain level of dishonesty in terms of like what I was walking into. And we went on the road and they didn't tell the fans that Natalie had left. Wow. So you just got in there like, who's this?

And I don't look like Natalie. Not at all. Right. And so much of flowetry was about their look, you know, and the uniqueness of their look. And then here I come, this high yellow skinny bitch. Y'all, like I'm talking about in Baltimore, a chick swiped my ankle. I had to, like, what? A chick was there?

Yes. I had to literally be like, oh, shit. You know, like, in D.C. at Love, at the start of the show, everyone had their backs to the stage. Like, in protest of me. And my frustration with Marsha was that she did not take an active role in bringing me to the crowd with the love that she would have needed to show me for them to show love.

Like, she had all the power to be like, all right, y'all, it's flowetry but it's different now. You know, and we've got, you know, Natalie went her own way but we're going to still keep the vibes going. So you just was out there. Girl, every single show she would come with a new way to come out.

And it would never be that. It was like, okay, so I'm going to start singing butterflies and then you're going to come out and give the band a pound. And then you're going to come to the mic and start singing. And I'm like, what is that? you up for because I remember they announced it I remember seeing the press I have theories they didn't

announce it until the fifth no they announced the tour but they didn't announce the situation and then in Atlanta I was at soundcheck and I mean I guess we on the breakfast club this is where the tea spills right right okay so little did everyone know that prior to all of this me and the music director were so prior to all of this like we were already we had a relationship okay but no one knew that and so she's doing shady and he's like coming back and telling you yes oh pillow talking okay homie So, you know, and that's the thing. It's like, don't be shady. All right, when we come back, we got more Amanda Seals.

Did Jay-Z really get her fired from MTV? We'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Amanda Seals is in the building.

Now, Yee. So, Amanda, why do you think that Marsha was being shady towards you on the tour? My theory is that they wanted me to quit so that she could finish out the tour as just like a Marsha tour under the Floetry banner.

That's my theory. Yes, that's my theory. And I was about to leave in Atlanta because Homeboy told me, like, yo, she's trying to cut your solo song from the show. But we had just done soundcheck and she had never mentioned that. So literally what would have happened is I would have been on stage and the part of the show where my song is supposed to come, another song would have just come on. And I wouldn't.

She's looking crazy. Yes. And so I said something to her about it and she was just like, just, you know, rebuffed me. And then when I got to my room, I remember Dwight Willisey. Shout out to Dwight. Dwight. Dwight. Dwight texted me and was like, turn on Wendy Williams. Turn on Wendy Williams. And Natalie was on there and I was like,

she was just going hard and was like, Amanda Sears is not Floor Tree. Floor Tree is Marsha and Natalie. And if you're going to the show, just know that I'm going to be there. I'm going to be there. So I'm like, I call Marsha's room like, what's going on? And you know know like you know when you need a certain response to feel comfortable I didn't get that response like I didn't get like a nah girl it's me and you I got like a yeah I'm no player and I was like I was like I'm out I'm out and so I was just, y'all know me. Like, I, once I hit that point, you've witnessed

an Amanda Seals, I'm out. I witnessed. And yeah, and so I was about to leave and the drummer is actually who stopped me. Like, everybody else who hit me about leaving was given wrong reasons to stay. But the drummer was like, listen, they want you to leave. And if you leave, you're giving

into them. You're giving into their negativity. You're giving into their expectations that you are weak. And if you stay, you're giving into them. You're giving into their negativity. You're giving into their expectations that you are weak. And if you stay, what you're showing is that you're going to persevere regardless. And honestly, he was like, this is about your journey. Like, don't let them steer you off your journey. And he's so right because after that, you know, me and Marsha, we ended up like coming to an understanding and then we finished the tour. But what I did learn on that tour is, like, Marsha is an incredible vocalist.

Oh, absolutely. And in the studio, like, her ability to stack vocals and, you know, make melodies was incredible. So I got to learn from one of the greats in that respect, and it really changed my music. Now, after you left the group, did you keep the music direct? Yes. But, I mean, like, over years of time. Because he's a f***. Right.

Now, Amanda, let's talk about relationships a few more minutes. Goodness gracious, Amanda. Because that's another thing that Amanda always gets into. There's a lot of F-boys out here. Right? And are you... I mean, it's hard not to. You've always been so vocal about your relationships.

Yeah, she has been. Like, even when we used to work at Hip Hop UOV, I used to be hearing things I know I wasn't supposed to be hearing. But then I ended up... She's very vocal about herself. Yeah. Yeah. I know one of them, Amanda, was like, I just had an orgasm for the first time.

It was exciting. I'm like, this is like 2010, 2012. Because it's not necessarily easy to have an orgasm from a dick. Right. Wow. Especially if someone hasn't made it their business. It requires... It's not just a general area thing. You gotta nail it. hasn't made it their business. Like, it requires, like, it's not just like a general area thing. You got to nail it.

It's like a sniper thing. Do you think sex could still be good if you don't have an orgasm? At this point for me, no, because then I know what I'm missing. Right. But. You know what's sad? Because it doesn't happen every time. I still remember exactly what this guy looked like.

What did she look like? Shut up. Because she kept pointing him out like... That's the guy that gave him that first orgasm? Yes. He was from Philly? I know. I remember him.

Wow. Don't give him too much. No, I won't. Okay, I won't. You have a beard. Let's not even do this. I don't remember his name, though. Good.

I don't remember what he looks like. Are you looking for a cell? No. Shut up. No, because he is that dude that's like... He would use my name to get into places. That was me. I'm the one that gave Amanda Seals an orgasm.

Tiffany DuBois, I gave her an orgasm. So what's your relationship status now? Because I'm sure a lot of F-boys in the past have been coming out the woodworks. Oh, my God. It is like termites. They're just like eating up the woodworks. Hey, what's good? And my favorite is,

yo, I'm proud of you. You're proud of me. I always knew. That's my version of, hey, big head. Yo, I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you, girl. I see you shining.

Shut up. You used to be a host on Direct FX too, right? No, but on Sucker Free. Sucker Free. You were the first. That's a lot on them FX too, right? No, but on Sucker Free. Sucker Free. She was the first. After a lot on them. Yep.

Me and you allegedly got bullfired by Jay-Z. Yo, that's my mother's theory. That's been my mother's theory for years. I could never prove it. Let's talk about it because the story was

that you were doing an interview and you wanted Jay-Z on your album. That's what was Jay-Z on your album. And you asked Jay-Z for his number.

What? Yeah, that's the story. And you asked Jay-Z for his number. What? Yeah, that's the story. And you asked Jay-Z for his number. And the people at MTV thought that was disrespectful and let you go. I never thought anything was wrong with that, by the way. You never heard that story? Let me look dead in this camera and tell y'all that that is not. I mean, do you see this genuine.

You never heard that? Befuddlement? You never heard this story? I've never heard this story. I mean, I don't know. I wasn't there. so I have no idea. So why did mama think you got fired by Jay-Z? Because my mom be knowing.

And there was just, there was always like too many situations where it was like, Hov was there and then funny stuff happened with me. That's happened like three different times. Yeah. Like, I got in trouble at Sirius one time because he was sitting there in the lobby and I was like, what you doing? He was like, nothing. I was like, you wanna do an interview? there in the lobby and I was like, what you doing? He was like, nothing.

I was like, you want to do an interview? He said, sure. I was like, where you, where, where you want to go? And we did the interview. And the next day I got written up and they were like, you know, you did an unauthorized interview with Sean Carter. I would feel like that's really going for it. And I texted him, I texted him and I was like, you know, I just got in trouble for interviewing

you. And he was like, I would think you would get a pat on the back. But wait, let me just tell you, let me clarify. This is what happened at MTV2. The first time I was interviewing him, it was to promote Fade to Black. And he was there and he was waiting for his jewelry to come. So he was just sitting in the waiting area and we were just waiting. And they were like, well, do you want to come and talk to him so you can kind of just build a rapport before you do the interview?

And I was like, sure. And I had an original copy, an original vinyl of Volume 1. And of Reasonable Doubt. No, I had an original copy of Reasonable Doubt. And so I came and I just showed it to him like this is how much of a fan I am, you know? And he was like, oh, do you want me to sign it?

Yeah, sure. There was a Sharpie right there. He signed it. That's the story. That's the whole story. You got in trouble today? The next day, I got a call from my boss, and he was like, you know, what you did with Jay-Z was very inappropriate. And I was like, what did I do

with Hov? And he was like, well, you know, we told you not to take any pictures. And I was like, but I didn't take any pictures. And he said, well, signing the album is the same thing. Wow. And so they fired you? Yes.

All right, we got more with Amanda Seals when we come back. Now we have to discuss her and Caitlyn Jenner going back and forth. We'll talk about it when we come back. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Amanda Seals is in the building. Now, Charlamagne.

You had to school Caitlyn Jenner on being a minority in America and her privilege. What happened with that? So I went to this Katy Perry dinner that I was invited to. They were having this like dinner of discourse where they wanted to focus on how it is to have difficult conversations. And everyone there was very nice. But it was also just like, are we just going to sit here and pat each other on the back? I don't know the purpose of this if we're not going to have actual discourse. And if you saw the live stream, you saw that over the course of the stream, they kept getting on me.

Because I would be the one, as usual, pointing out, like, hey, that don't make sense. Hey, what are you talking about? And Caitlyn Jenner, she be trying to glamor folks. You know what I'm saying? Like, because she's...

She's a vampire. It's true. She's trying to suck the consciousness out of you, man. That sounds appealing. She's sitting there and you've already been shown, like, okay, she's gone through this journey and you've been shown this transgender moment. But it makes you forget that, okay, but you're also,

for a long time, you've been this very privileged white man. You've been a part of the Kardashian family. That doesn't just go away. That doesn't just get erased. Like, you killed somebody in a car accident. Like, that doesn't just, and nothing happened to you. That is white privilege, right? Like, and so long story short, over the course of the dinner, like, she just kept saying

stuff that was so ridiculous. So white man-ish? Yeah. People after this conversation where I told Caitlyn Jenner, essentially, like, we don't come from, like, America hasn't treated you the same way that it treats black people. And, of course, she was like, she scoffed, which is, that's just willful ignorance. Yeah.

Like, it's willful ignorance. You're not even listening. And why do we act like Jim Crow didn't happen, like, recently? Like, there are people alive and well right now that lived through Jim Crow. The Civil Rights Act was signed in 1964. Like people are still trying to get over their first crush in college and you're 52

and you're still thinking about that. But you're expecting black people to get over 400 plus years of legal oppression. So let's be real. Like Jim Crow is lawful. Right now, at least you can maybe file a civil rights suit and be like,

hey, you know, they did this. No, back then, it was legal. And so I feel like it's really a blessing, especially in this day and age where you never know what camera's on you. You never know where they're going to catch you, the internet or whatever. It's a real blessing to get notoriety being your best self.

Like that was living in your truth, living in your truth, which is what I'm all about. And like like my Instagram following went up from forty four thousand to one hundred and eleven thousand in four days. Wow. And that really is a testament to like how hungry people are for the truth and how hungry people are for black women being honest and raising our voices in the face of people like Caitlyn Jenner. Because someone like Caitlyn Jenner, she's not an influencer. And that's the thing. People think, oh, she's an influencer. What's she

influencing? All she's influencing is you to watch. Because you're trying to figure out what the fuck is going on. But she's not using any of her clout to change anything. She had a Make America Greater hat, Get Great Again hat

on the other day. Get out of here. People like that should use their privilege to combat the prejudices that are going on in the world, not reinforce them.

But they don't acknowledge they have privilege. Right. In that same thing, she was like, the worst time of my life was cutting my hair. I'm like,

oh my goodness. Let's discuss Insecure and how all that happened. Yeah, how did that come about? Because your show was on Issa Rae's channel, right? She had the channel on YouTube. So I had a web series called Get Your Life and I shot that while I was in LA and then the second season, Charlamagne

actually donated to our crowdfund, so thank you very much. How much did you donate? Why does it matter? $1,500. That's good. I know. And, no, it does matter, by the way, because trust me, there's folks that are penny-pinched, and I'm just like,

alright. There's folks that love to be like, yo, I got you, I got you, I got you, and then they give you $200. Yeah. And you're like, bruh, that's not even a Gucci shoe. Like, not even one shoe. Not a shoe. Not even bruh, that's not even a Gucci shoe. Like, not even one shoe. Not a shoe. Not even a pair. That's not even one Gucci shoe. And so I went in for the audition, but I

originally went in for Tasha. And the breakdown said hood hot. And I was like, I don't have the proportions to fit that description. But you had to have a big ass and all that. Yeah, like, I have moderate. You know, they're enough.

They're not, you know, exponential, but they're solid. And I have booty on the low. Booty on the low. What's booty on the low? Means you don't know I got it till you got it. So you're taking a chance on me. Right, you're like, yeah!

You know, so. I'm proud tell you. I'll tell you. You're taking my hands off. Right. You're like, oh. You know? So. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. Keep shining, girl. Get the fucking stars emojis and shit out of here with a peach. To the casting director, I was like, this ain't.

I can't do this. And she was like, Amanda, you can play any part. And I was like, I appreciate the support. As someone who is also a writer and producer, like when I read roles, I know it's not for me. Me and Tiffany were the last two up for that role for Girl Trip. And I was like, why are y'all making me do this?

This is Tiffany's role. For this role, I just was like, yeah, this is just not me. And she goes, well, what do you, do you want to read for the other role? And I was like, well, what's the other role? Early 30s Ivy League graduate. You're like, that's me. I'm like, you mean my actual life? And so

I read for that. It was like a good two weeks without hearing anything. And I was leaving my house to go do stand-up. And I got a text from Issa. And it was a bunch of white applause hands. She's the white hands?

And I was like, right, and I was like, I don't know what white applause hands means. Like, if they were black applause hands, I feel like I would know. But white applause hands might mean just like, good job, you know, like, great try. Yeah, keep grinding. And so I hit her back with like two question marks,

and then she didn't respond, she didn't respond. I'm in back with, like, two question marks. And then she didn't respond. She didn't respond. I'm in the car, and I'm on the phone with my mom. I was like, yeah, like, I got this weird text from East. As I was on the phone with my mom, I got a text, and she was like, you're in. And I was like, I almost crashed this car. That's like a phone call. It was one of those moments, though, where you're like, oh, like, things are going to be different.

Now let's talk about your dating life now. I knew she was going to bring it back. I tried to evade it. She asked early. She asked early. I tried to evade it. I saw that you had one person on your vagina only. So does that mean that you have a boyfriend?

Your vagina? Is that like a vagina-gender? Tell them, Ange. My new word. It's my new word that I just made up. Your vagina. Who's on your vagina? Your vagina is your list of individuals that you would like to give your vagina to.

It's a vagina agenda. Your vagina. So you have one person on your vagina. Does that mean that you're in a relationship? Yes. Woo! Hold on, is this on Facebook? Because I can go look at this like it's a calendar.

What is it? What is a vagina? How does Angela know there's only one this on Facebook? I can go look at this like it's a calendar. What is it? What is a vagina? How does Angela know there's only one person on it? Because she said it on Twitter. Oh, okay. Got you. How do I know? Y'all just having sex right now?

So would he come to the family cookout? He would if I asked him to. Okay. You got to ask, will she invite him to the family cookout? It's a process. All of this is a process. You know, I got money now. You got to ask, will she invite him to the family cookout? It's a process. All of this is a process. You know, I got money now. I got to put his food.

What if you bring him to the cookout? I got to keep on picking. What if you bring him to the cookout and he leaves the cookout early to go to a work function and never comes back? How would you handle that situation? I mean, I'm actually glad that you have a work function to go to. Because let's be real, my last situation, his work

function was going to my work functions and turning up. Well, he was giving you orgasms. That's a fair trade. Is it, you know, carrying my bags after I DJ? Like, I'm here for a reason. Amanda Sears. Congratulations, Amanda, on everything.

I literally just did. I just subscribed. All right, Usher is saying he did not sleep with Quantasia Sharpton because she's not his type. That's what he's telling his close circle. Now he's saying that he may or may not have pulled her up on stage. He doesn't remember,

but he did not do anything with her. He said he brings all kinds of people on stage, not just supermodels, because it's an esteem booster to choose various people. Usher, Usher, Usher, Usher, people around Usher. If you're going to release any statements right now, it should be do you or do you not have herpes?

Well, I believe he's supposedly lawyering up right now and getting ready to sue various different outlets. Where did the rumor come out that he didn't have herpes? I've been seeing that on a couple of the blogs. Well, the rumor now is that he's getting his lawyer together and getting together everything to sue everybody for these allegations against him. Yeah, don't address the lie that people don't believe anyway. All right? I never believed you slept with that woman anyway. Yeah, I't address the lie that people don't believe anyway. All right? I never believed you slept with that woman anyway. Yeah, I didn't believe that.

But do you have her highs is what we want to know, Usher. Now, Usher's insurance company, in the meantime, has put him on notice. They will not pay for the $20 million herpes lawsuit against him if he loses because his insurance policy does not cover STDs. That's some expensive-ass herpes. Now, how does the insurance work? If somebody sues you, you have an insurance that'll take care of it,

but just not herpes? Yeah, it doesn't cover STDs. So that has nothing to do with that. So if I pay a little more a month, will they cover the STDs? I'm sure they will. How do I get the STDs covered? Probably not,

because that seems like something really preventable. They got to cover the herpes. All right, Raven Simone is saying that she has mental issues, and that's from being bullied about her weight. She told People she would have fewer mental issues if she had grown up in today's society that embraces more body positivity. She said, I wish I was living now as a younger person. I probably wouldn't have so many mental issues.

She said, I love embracing your body in this day and age. You have all kinds. And it's funny. It's serious. It's every color. It's every head shape. It's every hair. And there's androgyny. And there's LGBT coming in. And it's funny. It's serious. It's every color. It's every head shape. It's every hair. And there's androgyny. And there's

LGBT coming in. And it feels good. We didn't have it enough last time. And I guess that's what the past is for. To make sure the present is what it needs to be. Raven was big like that though? Yeah, she was a little bit. Because, you know, she was so little when she was young. She was really skinny. And then she did gain some weight. She gained a little weight.

And people did have things to say about that. A couple pounds. Now, Boosie Badass is defending his parenting skills. You know, he's been getting a lot of people in his DMs kind of going at him for offerings to get oral sex for his son for his 14th birthday. He said, everybody in my DM saying I'm a poor father. Well, you're wrong about that. I'm there for my kids from the youngest to the oldest. If you don't think kids are sexually active at 14, you better wake up.

It's 2017. Where I'm from, girls were pregnant at 13 and 14 to the oldest. If you don't think kids are sexually active at 14, you better wake up. It's 2017. Where I'm from, girls were pregnant at 13 and 14 on the regular. They had no daddy to talk to them about what's in boys, the streets, RSTDs, et cetera. I have a relationship where I can talk to my teenage kids about anything. He's right, though.

People don't deal with reality. People were upset because of the conversation we was having yesterday because I was telling Envy, smell his son's fingers. His son is 13. And they was like, that's disgusting. He's 13. smell his son's fingers. His son is 13. Right. And they was like, that's disgusting.

He's 13. That means he's doing that with other little girls. Why would you think like that? I'm like, why are you acting like we weren't kids at one point? I don't think Logan's doing anything. No, I don't think Logan's doing anything. I really don't. But like I said, he has gone on a couple of dates.

Now you being delusional. He's been at the movie theater. But I got to watch out. I got to check. And yesterday. How old were you when you started using your fingers? I was a turtle. I was slow.

So you can't count me. Logan's way more cooler than I ever was. Well, look at how things turned out. I did smell his finger last night. Okay. All I'm saying is we were all little boys once. No, I wasn't. You weren't, Angela.

But we know how little boys think. Right. And we know how little girls think because it takes two. All right. I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. All right. Charlamagne, say the gang, don't get out of shape. Charlamagne.

You are a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day, but I got the donkey of the day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit it with the heat. It's a breakfast club, bitch. Who's Donkey of the donkey today. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey man, hit it with the heat. It's a breakfast club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today? All right.

Okay, okay. Donkey of the day for Wednesday, August 9th goes to a pundit on Fox News named Jesse Waters. Now, I don't allow people on Fox News to piss me off because I know what they're about over there. Okay, allowing people on Fox News to piss you off is like walking into a bathroom after somebody pooped and saying, damn, it stinks in here. Duh. You know somebody just pooped.

Ain't nobody told you to walk in the bathroom right after they finished what you thought it was going to smell like. So that's how it is with Fox News. You know what their agenda is. You know what they're about. So there's no need to get pissed off at Fox News. But we can always give them the credit they deserve for being stupid. And that's what we are going to do for Jesse Waters this morning. Now, Jesse was on Fox News' The Five.

And he said owners and franchises who don't want to sign Colin Kaepernick aren't anti-black. They are anti-idiot. Let's hear it. The NFL, sadly, you can abuse your wife and still play. If you murder the flag, you can. But here's the point. Murder. You can cheat in the game. But here's the point. The Dolphins aren't anti-black. They're anti-idiot.

This guy lacks respect, and he's bad for team chemistry, and he's bad for the franchise. These franchises are billion-dollar businesses. You don't want somebody representing your business that's not going to ingratiate yourself to the fan base. Colin Kaepernick wore a Castro t-shirt. They're going to have a fight in Miami Dolphins. They're going to boo him out of there. Let's unpack this. Why do I have

to remind you guys every month that Colin Kaepernick is being punished for doing the right thing? Colin should not be getting condemned because he didn't stand for a flag. He should be celebrated for standing up for people. In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., an injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Okay, Collins saw injustice happening to people of color

at the hands of the police, and he decided to use his platform to bring attention to it. Now, he's being punished because some people in this country care more about a piece of cloth with stars and stripes on it than they do actual flesh and blood human beings. Now, how do you care about a symbol of America more than you do actual Americans? You have to ask people like Jesse Waters

one question and one question only. If you were walking down the street with a fire extinguisher and you saw an American flag on fire and a black person on fire and you could only put out one, which one would it be? If you even hesitate to answer that question,

then the problem isn't that Colin didn't stand for the flag. The problem is your own prejudice and bigotry towards black and brown people. Now, Jesse Waters, I'll play white devil's advocate for a second. You're right about Miami not signing him. Colin wore a Fidel Castro shirt. I can see how Miami wouldn't want to upset its fan base. A lot of people escaped Cuba and reside in Florida now. I get that.

But you didn't just say the Dolphins. You said owners and franchises. So you think every other team in the NFL shouldn't sign him because, as you said, he lacks respect. So, Jesse, what you're telling me is you respect the flag of the United States of America more than you do black and brown citizens of the United States of America. Jesse Waters, you know it's idiotic. The fact that people like you are always discussing how Colin protested but don't want to discuss what

he is actually protesting. Please give Jesse B. Waters the biggest hee-haw, please. Yes, indeed. And please remember that on August 23rd, let me get my information correct here. Yes, on August 23rd, there's going to be a rally for Colin Kaepernick outside of NFL headquarters here in New York City. Is that the rally Spike Lee put together? I believe so.

Okay. 345 Park Avenue, August 23rd at 5 p.m. Of course it's a peaceful rally. Okay. It's always peaceful. Mm-hmm. We are peaceful people. Absolutely. Always. All peaceful. Mm-hmm. We are peaceful people. Absolutely.

Always. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Mm-hmm. Up next is Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, you can call Yee right now. Again, 800-585-1051.

She'll put you live on the air and help you with your problems. All right, here up now, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now it's time for Ask Yee, 805.85.1051.

Jarrell, what's your question for Yee? My question is, I've been with my fiance for about six years. We've been engaged for about a year and a half. And we got two beautiful daughters. And she's talking about she wants to move back in with her parents after our lease is up. And we've just been kind of going through the last couple months. And I just need some advice on how I can basically save my relationship. I feel like I'm losing her.

You know, she talks about like, because she basically got pregnant after she graduated from high school, so she didn't get to have fun like I did in college. So one time she goes out, she comes home like 2, 3 in the morning. Me and her get in arguments sometimes because I tell her like, she comes home

at a respectable time, so she feels like she don't want to answer to nobody and she wants to live with her parents so she don't have to answer to nobody. So she wants to leave you and move in with her parents? Basically, yeah. She wants to move back in with her parents, leave me, take the kids with her, and just leave me hanging. And that at least ends up in a couple months. The problem is that you guys are arguing a lot.

And she's going out, coming home late at night, and you guys are getting into arguments over that. And then she's saying she wants a little bit of freedom, and you feel like she's never really lived her life because she had kids so young. Yeah. So I can sympathize with that because sometimes when you're really young and you never got to experience certain things, you kind of feel like you missed out. So I think that what you should try to do is have her experience things that she's

never experienced before but have her do that with you instead of you arguing with her about things that she's doing make plans for the two of you to do things that she might not have had a chance to do when she was younger get some sitters drop the kids off with her parents and then you guys can go and do things together and go out together and have fun together. Instead of being mad that she's out, why don't you go out with her? Because clearly she wants to be able to, you know, mix it up

a little. Are you cool with her friends? Oh, well, she hang out with her coworkers. I don't really know them like that. I mean, and I feel like they kind of like a bad influence. Like, because she's been, ever since she's been at that job, she's been acting different. Everything was okay until she started working at that job. So I feel like they kind of like a bad influence. Like, because she's been, ever since she's been at that job, she's been acting different. Everything was okay until she started working at that job. So I feel like they either

putting stuff in her head to make her, because she's not acting the same. Like, this is not the girl I fell in love with. Well, you should actually get to know who her co-workers are and who are these people that she's hanging out with. So if that means that you have to go out with them sometimes and, you know, see who they sometimes and you know see who they are and

let them see who you are too because sometimes people just hate on other people in relationships because they're not in them and they're not happy but you arguing with her all the time about it is just going to make her defensive and not take your side you need to show everybody that y'all are together you guys are a team yeah because i try plan stuff. It's like when I do try to plan things to hang out with her, like she kind of put them on the back burner. It's like she wants to hang out with her friends more than she wants to hang out with me.

I try to make plans. Because she don't feel like arguing. I guess you're right, yeah. So what you have to do is approach things differently. You can't be... You got to sympathize with the fact that she's young.

She does feel like having kids so early made her miss out on a lot of things. And I'm sure she loves her kids and I'm sure that she loves you. But I'm sure that sometimes she has a little bit of remorse about things that she didn't have the opportunity to do. That's a lot of responsibility. Yeah, you're right. Alright. I appreciate it.

No problem. I love y'all. Hey, happy wife, happy life. You're right. Alright, thank you. You're right. All right, thank you, Yee. You're welcome. All right, we got more with ASCII. When we come back right now, here's Kendrick Lamar with Humble. C-J-N-V, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club. Now we're in the middle of ASCII, 800-585-1051.

Now, what line are we going to, Yee? Caller number six. Number six. Now, anonymous, are you a man or a female? I'm a girl. Okay, she's a female. What's your question for you? So, I met a guy online about four months ago,

and our first outing was a concert that I got free tickets for. How are you getting these free tickets? I work for a company. Okay. I don't want to mention anything, because as soon as I mention one thing, it'll just go away. He listens every morning.

Okay, so you get some perks. Yes, he gets. So that was our first date. And there was no dinner before, no drinks before. It was just a random, hey, I have extra tickets. Okay. So after that, I got another set of tickets, and that was our next date. Okay.

So it just kept spiraling from there. And, like, it's been, like, four shows now or five. And then he made it clear that he just wants to be friends. But he still takes the tickets. We still talk every day. And, like, I just, I don't. Well, you're still giving him those tickets. Yeah, you're right.

Yeah. So, of course, he's going to take it. Yeah. But I just, I don't understand why you're online for friends. Why what? Why is he online for friends? He's probably not. Maybe he just doesn't feel you like that, and you're being way too nice about it, and you're wasting your time.

If you're looking to be in a relationship with him, and he's not looking for that in you, it sounds like he's just using you to be able to go to these concerts. And I know so many people that things like that have happened to. He met you. He got the perk of being able to go to a concert. You know what you do? See if he wants to hang out with you when you have no tickets to anything. We spent like a few he came to a few things like my graduation

and things like that. But it still doesn't make sense. He says we're good friends and and he really values our friendship, but he's also a really terrible friend, if that's what it is. So I think he's just keeping me around for the thickest, but I also don't know how to stop giving him thickest. Yeah, stop taking him places, period. I mean, that seems like an easy solution.

And get back online and continue dating until you find somebody that actually will take you to dinner, take you out for those drinks. Those people deserve the perks. seems like an easy solution and get back online and continue dating until you find somebody that actually will take you to dinner take you out for those drinks those people deserve the perks not giving people stuff too soon great sometimes we want to please people so badly and give them these benefits when they haven't even earned that yet yeah very true all right all right thank you you're welcome all right ask e 800-585-1051 And I just want to say, I would say that to men too Don't let people use you for things that you could do for them

Whether you're a man or a woman Don't give too much too soon Okay, alright, now we got rumors on the way? Yes, let's talk about R. Kelly now One of the women who is staying with R. Kelly's parents Held a press conference And will tell you what they're asking for Alright, we'll get into that when we come back.

Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, Kendrick Lamar is on the new cover of Rolling Stone, the magazine that Charlamagne is suing.

I'm not suing him yet. Oh, you're not? No, not yet. All right. So anyway, they have a cover story on Kendrick and they ask him certain things like, do you ever feel like you should be having more fun? And he said, everybody's fun is different. Mine is not drinking.

I drink casually from time to time. I like to get people from my neighborhood, someone that's fresh out of prison for five years, and see their faces when they go to New York, when they go out of the country. That's fun for me. You see it through their eyes and you see them light up. And now he goes on to talk about Donald Trump. They asked, why has he been so quiet about Donald Trump? Other than a few lyrics, he said, it's like beating a dead horse.

We already know what it is. Are we going to keep talking about it or are we going to take action? He said, it weighs you down. It drains your energy when you're speaking about something or someone that's completely ridiculous. So he said he speaks on self, reflection of self first. That's where the initial change will start from. I feel like that about Donald Trump, too. But sometimes it feels like we're in immediate danger that we have to say something about it.

You know what I mean? And, you know, he also talks about this lifestyle that he has now. It's only been five years since 2012. He said before that it was a whole two decades of not knowing what's next to come. I still have that embedded in me, so I can't let my career get the best of me. And they ask him about, is it okay for a rapper to have a ghostwriter? Kendrick

responds, it depends what arena you're putting yourself in. I call myself the best rapper. I cannot call myself the best rapper if I have a ghostwriter. Kendrick has come a long way. Didn't you give Kendrick his first radio interview? I don't know if it was his first, but when I was at Sirius, actually he called

in because J-Rock was on. J-Rock was the first artist they put out on TDE. So he called in to talk while J-Rock was on the air. And then, yeah, early on. I remember the first time I met Kendrick was with you. My bowling party. At your bowling party. And I walked up to Kendrick and said,

I wear a size 11 and a half bowling shoe. Could you please get it for me? Because I thought he worked there. Oh, stop. He had on corduroys. I did. I thought he worked there. We laugh about that now, but I really did.

I thought he worked there. Yeah. Well, Kendrick has come definitely a long way. Oh, he's come a long way. But even back then in his days of his mixtapes and everything, people loved Kendrick. He had a huge following. That's how Dr. Dre even knew who he was and everybody wanted to sign him.

I remember we bought Kendrick in 2011 and we didn't even interview him. No, we didn't put him on there. We got him on Skype. Skype, yeah. Because of whatever. Oh, we did? Yeah, we put him on Skype. He was just hanging out.

After the Breakfast Club or something we did. Yeah, he came by. Breakfast Club co-sign. Mm-hmm. Something like that, yeah. That's what it was called. All right. Now, they also asked about the song Humble.

And he said, who are you talking about in the chorus? Are you talking to yourself? He said, definitely, it's the ego. When you look at the song titles on this album, these are all of my emotions and all my self-expressions of who I am. That's why I did a song like that, where I just don't give a F. Or I'm telling the listener, you can't F with me, but ultimately, I'm looking in the mirror. So, you have a chance to read this whole interview. Drop on the Clues Bonds with Kendrick Lamar.

He is definitely one of the leaders of the new school in this new hip-hop thing thing. You're welcome for those footnotes. That article just came out, too. I read the whole thing. You know I'm a speed reader. All right. HBO has officially renewed Insecure for a third season. So congratulations to that whole team.

Drop on the Clues Bonds for Issa Rae and Yvonne Orgy and Prentice Penny and Amanda Vestapitua. Yes, we got y'all. By the way, I hate that logo on the shirts on the show. We got y'all. The job that Issa Rae has, the after school program.

It's like a white hand and it's like holding these kids in the hand. I never noticed that. We got y'all. I laugh every time I see it. All right. And the Starberries are coming back. The $14.98 Starberries are going to return to U.S. retail stores. There's definitely a market for that, by the way.

He gave away, I think, like a thousand pair when we was in Brooklyn, Coney Island a couple of weeks ago. And they do well overseas. I respect everything that Stephon Marbury is trying to do with these sneakers. Affordable. But they're trash, bro. Why are they trash? People like them. They look terrible. You seen the new ones? Why you don't wear them? Why you don't wear them? I don't know where to buy them from.

Yeah, okay. I don't think he's their market. I don't know where to buy them from. You're the sneaker guy. Why you don't wear them? Stephon, can I finish y'all? Sorry. Stephon has done a deal with City Trends. So that's where the shoe will be. And he's going to open a flagship store in Brooklyn. That's dope.

Man, them shoes cause fights. Because if you got them shoes on, you're going to get teased, man. And I just don't understand why they can't make a better looking shoe that's affordable. Just make it look good. Because it's not like it costs a lot. $14.98 is extremely affordable. And there's definitely a lot of kids. But they don't look good. It's not like it costs a lot to make sneakers. Well, it's hard to make sneakers look good. Because it's not like it costs... $14.98 is extremely affordable. And there's definitely a lot of kids... But they don't look good.

It's not like it costs a lot to make sneakers. Well, it's hard to make sneakers look good. It's expensive. Think about the sneakers out there. A lot of them look horrible. I just want it to be an affordable, nice-looking sneaker. I like them. I'm aware of them.

All right. And Sinead O'Connor will give you an update on what happened with her. We told you about the video she posted on Facebook. And she is struggling with a mental illness. Here is that video was i'm all by myself and there's absolutely nobody in my life except my doctor my psychiatrist the sweetest man on earth who says i'm his hero and that's about the only thing keeping me alive at the moment the fact that i'm his bloody hero i just can't understand how a person can be left so alone. And I want everyone to see what it's like while making this video.

Their mental illness, you know, it's a bit like drugs. It doesn't give a shit who you are. And suddenly, all the people who are supposed to be loving you and taking care of you are treating you like shit. Well, apparently her friends have shown up and somebody posted from her account. Hi, everybody. I'm posting at Sinead's request to let everyone who loves her know she is safe. She is not suicidal. She's surrounded by love and receiving the best of care.

She asked for this to be posted knowing you are concerned for her. I won't respond to any questions, so please understand. I hope this comforts those of you who are concerned. I don't believe you, bro. Not after what I just heard. Sinead O'Connor needs a hug and somebody to talk to. Okay. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report.
