Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo this morning. Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, TJ and Hey. At least talk to me. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo this morning.

Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, TJ and me. It's Friday. I kept thinking yesterday was Friday. Really? Why? I don't know why. It felt like Friday yesterday.

I was out and about. I was running a bunch of different errands. And then I went to go eat lunch. It was like a late lunch around 3. And I kept thinking it was Friday. Oh. The whole time. And then I was like, oh, man I kept thinking it was Friday. Oh. The whole time. And then I was like, oh, man, it's really not Friday.

No, today is Friday. Now, I spent the night last night. Well, today is Friday. Yeah, I spent the night last night. And the whole day yesterday at the hospital, my wife just, of course, if you just heard, we just had our baby, our fifth baby, our fifth and final baby. So I was all day at the hospital. So all I did was play with the baby.

That's nice. And watch the Olympics. I'm an Olympic fanatic. I like watching anything was play with the baby. That's nice. And watch the Olympics. I'm an Olympic fanatic. I like watching anything competitive. Especially the swimming. Shout out to Michael Phelps. He does his damn thing. That boy is just amazing. He's what, 31, 32 years old? He has the most medals ever.

He is amazing. Now, fun fact, I thought that I was going to be an Olympic swimmer when I was younger. I was nice. I was actually nice. Why do you do this, Envy? You were not going to be an Olympic swimmer. I was a freshman on the varsity team as far as swimming is concerned, and I was nice. I was actually nice. Why do you do this, Envy? You were not going to be no Olympic swimmer. I was a freshman on the varsity team as far as swimming is concerned,

and I was nice. So what happened? Back then, they used to make us wear them little skimpy, tiny, tiny underwear thingy-majiggies. You used to wear those anyway. No, I didn't. I saw a picture of you

wearing that with some socks. No, shut up. No, no, no. And it's just uncomfortable because people come to the meet and you got these, like, halfway bikini boxer briefs on, and your stuff is just all out. And you're like a little, I was what, 15 years old at the time.

I just couldn't do it. I was like, this is enough. This is embarrassing. And I stopped and I shouldn't have stopped. That's one of the things my parents shouldn't have made me stop. They should have made me continue to swim because I couldn't have been an Olympic swimmer. So they should push you. They should have pushed me to continue to swim.

And sometimes parents don't want to push their kids too much, but they should have pushed me to swim because I could have been an Olympic swimmer. So they should push you. They should have pushed me to continue to swim. And sometimes parents don't want to push their kids too much, but they should have pushed me to swim because I could have been an Olympic swimmer. I was nice.

All right, Envy, I don't know if you could have been an Olympic swimmer, but that was a great story. And I'm lengthy and I'm long paws and I would have been good. I'm what, six foot, six foot one?

And you shave your legs. I don't shave my legs. I shave my private areas and it makes you go even faster. You don't believe me. I do believe you shave your private areas, yes. Oh, okay. All right.

And that whole story, that's the only thing that I've believed. That's the only thing that you believe. All right. Well, we got a bunch of people joining us this morning. We have Joey Badass. He'll be in the building. Brooklyn represent. And we also have some comedians joining us.

What's the name of the comedian? Sherrod. Sherrod Small. And Christian Finnegan. And Christian Finnegan. They have a new show. You know, Christian Finnegan was the Christian Finnegan. They have a new show. You know, Christian Finnegan was the one

that was on the Chappelle show, the Mad Real World, the one white guy that was in the house. Ah, okay. The one who got stabbed. I think he got stabbed.

Oh, wow. I remember he was in the room with Charlie Murphy, the roommates. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. And he was masturbating while Christian Finnegan

was in the room with his girlfriend. And then the next thing you know, he was sleeping with his girlfriend. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. So they'll be joining us this morning. So let's get the show cracking.

Front page news, what are we talking about? Imagine being on a plane and all of a sudden the turbulence is so bad that you end up having to go to the hospital. We'll tell you what airline put 24 people in the hospital because of turbulence. I was on a plane like that and the lady caught a heart attack. It was so much turbulence. She had a heart attack. And then when the plane landed, everybody wanted to run off.

But they couldn't because the medical staff had to come on and get her. And everybody a heart attack. And then when the plane landed, everybody wanted to run off. But they couldn't because the medical staff had to come on and get her. And everybody was just scared. And we got to story about everything today. Everything we say. I do anything. Let me tell you, one time. One time in band camp. Alright. Front page news next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. In sports tonight

will be A-Rod's last game at Yankee Stadium. He is retiring. He's being forced to retire today. Is he going to play? Yeah, he's going to play. He's going to start. He's flying his family in. He's got a lot of friends coming in, so he will play tonight.

He's seven home runs away from hitting 700. So if he hits eight tonight, then he'll play. He's definitely not going to get that tonight. Definitely not going to get that. So tonight is his last game. Salute Simone Biles, too, man. Drop one of Clues Bond for Simone Biles. I think he's getting to it right now.

Well, congratulations to her. The USA is, let me get to that story now. 38 medals, 16 gold, 12 silver, and 10 bronze. That's her first medal, right? Simone Biles, first African-American woman. Can you explain the story? Oh, I was looking at you. Oh, yeah, she's the first African-American woman to win 100 freestyle.

Now, anybody swim here? Nobody swim. I don't know how to swim. I don't know how to swim. But she was far behind. She was about five strokes behind, and she came back to win. Simone swims? Simone Biles?

Oh, no. Oh, no, we're talking about the other Simone. Simone Manuel. Simone Manuel. Simone Manuel. I was like, what? I was like, she's dope. Oh, you're talking about the other Simone. I meant Simone Manuel. Simone Manuel. No, Simone Manuel. She's like, what? She's that good? I was like, she's dope.

She can do a gym. Oh, you're talking about Simone Biles. But we were talking about Simone Manuel did a great job. She was the first African-American swimmer. I saw her. She was the one crying. I was talking about Simone Biles at the gym. You just made me have a whole new respect for Simone. I was like, did I go to sleep and miss her swimming, too?

No, no, no, no. She was on the balance beam and jumped in the pool? No, Simone Emanuel was the first African-American woman to win. A lot of Simones were really big in the Olympics yesterday, basically, from the USA. And congratulations to Michael Phelps. He caught 22 gold medals. He's dead nice when that's swimming. He's 31 years old, 32 years old.

He is dead nice with the swimming. He's a good case that marijuana, you know, isn't as bad as people make it out to be. All right? That's true. Michael Phelps gets busy in that pool. Absolutely. Now LeBron also re-signed. And LeBron re-signed for $31 million.

He will be joining. He did a three-year $100 million contract with the NBA. And the salary in his first year is going to be $31 million. He's going to be the highest paid player in the NBA for the first time in his career ever. And then for the next year, his salary will be above $33 million, which will make him the highest paid player in a single season in league history. That's even more than Michael Jordan made with the Bulls in the 1997-98 season.

Well, the money is different, but I'm not going to front. I think they overpaid LeBron just a little bit. What are you talking about? I'm playing. Shut up, you idiot. Knock it off. I'm playing. Shout out to our guy, Rich Paul,

that's LeBron's agent. How much is the agent? I don't know. You have to ask him. Enough to want to get pregnant by him. What? Okay, Charlamagne,

I see you. If he was a fiend, come on, no. If he was a guy, he can get pregnant by a guy. Yeah, no doubt. Yes, but enough to want to get pregnant by him.

Goodness gracious. All right, now let's talk about Macy's. Macy's is actually closing down 100 of its stores. That's about 15% of all of their department store locations. They didn't say which stores it's going to be yet,

but they said most of them will be shut down early next year. You know, Walmart also had announced earlier this year they're shutting down 269 stores this year. And Sports Authority has shut down all 450 of its stores after they filed for bankruptcy. I cannot believe y'all letting that great institution call has shut down all 450 of its stores after they filed for bankruptcy. I cannot believe y'all letting that great institution called Walmart shut down. I am from the country. I am from Moncks Corner, South Carolina.

Late at night when there was nothing else to do, you go walk around a 24-hour Walmart, okay, and you get a new type of inspiration for the world. I cannot believe y'all letting that institution shut down. That's like shutting down a rec center or shutting down a church. It's not the same thing. When's the last time you've been to Walmart? Oh, I'm more of a target. Alright, then that's why. So you're part of the problem. You're part of the problem. I'm more of a target.

I see more targets now. I don't see a lot of Walmart. Well, they actually shut down some Target stores also. What? Yeah, they have. See, there you go. Other retailers like Target, JCPenney, Kmart, Sears, and Kohl's. They've also gotten rid of hundreds of stores. I'm just more of a Target guy. I mean, there's more Targets, and Target got mostly more white T-shirts. They look nicer.

Target just look fresh. They do look nicer. You can go use the bathroom in Target. You can get pizza. I don't know about all that, but they got mostly more white T-shirts. Oh, yeah, Target has pizza. They have pizza and pizza. It was a pizza house.

Target has pizza, and they got Starbucks, too. All right, now, lastly, let's talk about this JetBlue turbulence. Woo, JetBlue turbulence has put 24 people in the hospital, at least 22 customers and two crew members, after experiencing rough turbulence. They said a flight attendant was assisted off the plane by medical personnel. It was from Boston to Sacramento, and that flight actually had to be diverted to Rapid City, South Dakota.

They said the weather, obviously, is what caused some of the bumpy flying conditions. Ah, y'all weak, man. If you ever did the Harlem Shake, you could survive a little rough turbulence, man. Yeah, I... That's why every now and then you should do the Harlem Shake just because. Because it's weak. So when you get on a plane...

If you ever did the Harlem Shake and you get on a plane and you feel turbulence, you wouldn't even feel it. It's nothing. Plane do a little Harlem Shake, you'd be all right. Y'all got to go to the hospital because y'all did a little Harlem Shake in the plane. Stop it. And that's front page news now. Tell them why you're mad.

800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent call us right now. Maybe you are late. Maybe you had a bad night. Maybe you had a bad morning. 800-585-1051. And, Charlamagne. What?

Thank you for putting me on to the Jerk Shack Grill. Drop one of Clues bombs for the Jerk Shack Grill, damn it. I know people out of town don't know what the hell we talk about. At all. The Jerk Shack Grill, damn it. I know people out of town don't know what the hell we talk about. At all. The Jerk Shack Grill is a Jamaican restaurant in New Jersey. If you ever just happen to be from Houston or South Carolina driving up Route 4 and go with New Jersey, go by the Jerk Shack Grill. It's part of a gas station, so it looks like a mobile gas station. Yes, it is.

But half of it is a Jerk Shack Grill. Lord have mercy. And they opened late last night. My wife wanted some at the hospital, and I went through, and oh, my gosh. You're making my mouth water. Jerk steak. Jerk steak. Jerk chicken. went through, and oh, my gosh. You're talking about jerk steak, jerk chicken, oxtail. They jerk everything. Jerk salmon. Oh, my gosh.

Well, why do you guys let him in?

Well, he's a really good friend, and I try to give him the benefit of the doubt. But my thing is I want to leave it up to you guys. You think I have to let him in this year? I think you should tell him he got to put his money up front. He got to pay first. Absolutely. You got to stop letting him ask for it. He got to put his money in escrow.

Now, our boss wants us to play in Fantasy Football League. It is expensive. I said, if Charlemagne goes half, I'll pay. And Charlemagne ain't paying, so I ain't playing. First of all. If you're listening, I ain't playing. $2,500 to get in. $2,500?

Don't f*** up the car, please. She's like, yeah, yeah, I got it, I got it, I got it. So she takes her head to the dentist. I come back to find out there's a big-ass dent in the bumper. So I walk inside the crib. I'm like, yo, babe, what happened to the car? She's like, oh, I don't know. What are you talking about?

I'm like, there's a big ass dent. Get to the point. Get to the point. Somebody hit the car while she was parked. And your wife didn't tell you. Your girl didn't tell you. That was the most boring. That was the most boringest way to say you got a dent in your car ever.

You could have did that in 10 seconds. I'm sorry you got that dent. You have a good storytelling ability, sir. I bet you the story about your wife being at the dentist was better. Who was in your wife's mouth? Oh. Oh. Tell them why you mad.

Underground artist who has a record that is actually playing on radio right now. Devastated. I love that song.

Yeah, guys like Joey are interesting because I don't even know if you call him underground because they'll drop an album and sell 70,000 records the first week. He sells out mad shows, mad festivals. It's almost like what we used to call underground is the way to do things now. Well, it seems like he just has a cult following, and I think performances are really great for artists like Joey Badass.

You go out, you do a lot of shows. That's how people really know your music. You put out a lot of stuff online. And the internet, yeah. But for those underground artists, when they make a radio record, does his core following be like, oh, you sold out now? Of course. They should be happy for him.

I mean, guys like Chance the Rapper could be considered underground. But them dudes on SNL, Stephen Colbert. But Chance has a great radio record right now. Yeah, he's there, but they consider him underground. They consider him underground. It's his third album. Yeah. He has a great record. He's on his third radio record right now. Yeah, he's there, but they can see him on the ground. They can see him on the ground. It's his third album. Yeah. He has a great record.

He's on his third full-length project. And also, we got a bunch of comedians joining us this morning. A bunch of two. A bunch of two. Yeah, my man, Sharaj Mahal. He's got a podcast called Race Wars. And Christian Finnegan. Christian Finnegan.

They got a show on there, and he called Black and White. I was actually one of their first guests. Me and the white dude, Jim. What is Jim's last name? Jim Gannigan? Jim Gaffigan? Gaffigan. Gaffigan. Why do white people always got to have a Gann, is Jim's last name? Jim Gannigan? Jim Gaffigan? Gaffigan. Gaffigan.

Why white people always got to have a Gann, a Can in their name, damn it? Finnegan? Canigan? Gaffigan? But yeah. Kristen and Gerard will be here this morning. We'll kick it with both of them in a little bit, all right? So don't go anywhere.

We got rumors on the way. You ain't what we talking about. Yes, we'll tell you what artist now has a new record deal, and he's telling all these rappers they better watch out for him. Oh, boy. Oh boy. All right, we'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked.

It's The Breakfast Club. Come on and get your ass up. The Breakfast Club. Oh my goodness. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. Rumor, rumor, rumor.

On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. I like your new rumor intro. We're going to work on that. We're going to work on that. I like your new Rumors intro. We're going to work on that. We're going to work on that. I can't get jiggy with that, man. I love that intro. Rumors got it.

Maybe cut it just to cut the instrumental off a little bit. Just a little bit. We're going to work on that. All right, Kevin Hart is signing a record deal. He already has signed with Motown. Now, we all know his alias, Chocolate Dropper. That's his alter ego. I know Chocolate Dropper ain't getting no record deal. He already has signed with Motown. Now, we all know his alias, Chocolate Dropper. That's his alter ego, rapper. I know Chocolate Dropper ain't getting no record deal.

That's crazy. Chocolate Dropper has signed to Motown Records. Now, he put out, it's the return of Dropper, bitches. You've been warned. I just got signed by Motown Records Capital Music Group. It's just got real. I'm dropping a mixtape on you, bitches. It's war.

Y'all can't run from this lyrical ass whooping. Well, even though I feel like lyricism has come back to the forefront in a big way in the past couple years in hip-hop, it's still a lot of melodic mumbling out here, so Chocolate Dropper can have a lane. All right, well, if you guys never heard Kevin Hart rap, or should I say Chocolate Dropper,

here's a little snippet of what you can expect. You a liar. You won't fire. You won't believe me, then don't try to deny ya. What's her name? Mariah. Carrie. Not Larry. I'm Harry. You dare me. In the gym. On the weightlifting machine. I'm like a what? Got a gun in my hand. What you see? A bullet in your face. No, my goodness. It could have killed you, but I pulled it back. Now what? We back on track. Track two is the one that we thought we were going to do. I see you, dude. Either you get it or you don't.

What you say? Gangsta rap. Uh-oh. That sucks. Yeah, you won't. Well, he is taking shots at everybody, apparently, on this new album. He said, if you're a rapper, I suggest you run. I'm about to come for all you suckers.

Listen. Y'all just knocked on the door of a small giant that loves chicken nuggets and long walks in the park in the summer, which basically means I will kill everybody. You get Metro Boomin' and Mike Will Made It to provide the soundtrack for them trash balls, and you got something. It might work. It could.

Listen, we're going to see what happens. All right, now let's discuss A-Rod. We talked about his retirement while Jamie Foxx is hosting a big party for him tonight after A-Rod's final game as a Yankee. So that should be a big deal. And speaking of Jamie Foxx is hosting a big party for him tonight after A-Rod's final game as a Yankee. So that should be a big deal. And speaking of Jamie Foxx, we told you about Jay Farrell getting let go

from Saturday Night Live, getting fired basically. He did? After six seasons. Oh, he wasn't here. That was Tuesday. We reported that. We reported that Tuesday. Yeah, he's not doing it anymore.

Let him go. Oh, yeah, you weren't here, Charlotte. Really? After six seasons, no more. Oh, let me text my guy. I didn't know that. Well, that's all right. He's got a new job already.

What's he doing? All right, he's going to be on a new show, executive produced by Jamie Foxx on Showtime. It's called White Famous. Oh, that's dope. So it's a pilot, basically, but, you know, it is what it is. And that doesn't sound like a bad situation. It's a show that's focused on a talented young African-American comedian,

played by Jay Pharoah, whose star is rising, forcing him to navigate the treacherous borders of maintaining his credibility as he begins to cross over towards becoming white famous. I'm texting him right now. I'm sending him the generic when one door closes, another one opens. It's already open. Did he get fired or he quit?

I think he quit, they said. They said he left. That don't apply if he quit when one door closes, another one opens. They said he left. Yeah, because that don't apply if he quit. When one door closes, another one opens. But they sent it anyway. You're a little late, though, but you can send it. Yeah, it doesn't. This should have been like four days ago.

You know what? I'm going to say, just found out. Damn, my nigga. That's what I'm going to say. But the good news, too, already came with that. Congrats on the show, Tige. Yeah, congrats. There you go.

Yeah, you go. Congrats. There you go. That's what I'm going to do. Congrats on the new show. All right, and Tyga, he was all set to get arrested when he got back from Turks and Caicos in the airport because of the arrest warrant, because of the $480,000 judgment from his former landlord. Well, it turns out that he has settled with that landlord.

We don't know what kind of check that he's cut, but I guess they have revoked that warrant because of that. The settlement is less than the $480,000, but we don't know exactly how much he has to pay. I could get some bread out there shortly. Or Kylie. Oh, you're right. All right, so that's good news. You don't got to worry about getting arrested in the airport. And that is your Rumor Report.

I'm Angela Yee. All right, thank you, Ms. Yee. Now, when we come back, Joey Badass will be joining us. He was an underground artist, but now he has a record that's playing on the radio, so he's crossed over a little bit. I don't like those terms no more, though. He's just a successful artist.

He's a successful artist who's not doing it the traditional way. We'll talk to him about that and more, so keep it locked. Joey Badass, when we return, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was Riri with Needed Me. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

We got a special guest in the building, Joey Badass. What's up, sir? Peace, peace, peace. Joey came in here and went right to the books. Most guys come in here and go right for the liquor. Joey went for the bookshelf. That's right. I was looking at you guys' book collection.

We have a library in here. Yeah. Taking this one, Conversations With God. I think it's going to do me some justice. You read heavy? Yeah, I do. I like reading a lot. What you reading right now?

You said Marcus Garvey, right? Yeah, Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey. So you like self-help books? Yes, sir. History. Self-help, motivation books. You know, yeah. History, especially my history.

Dope. Well, congratulations on the success so far of the new single, Devastated. I really like that song. It's a very hopeful song for people. Joey sold out, man. That's what they're saying, right? That's what far of the new single, Devastated. I really like that song. It's a very hopeful song for people. Joey sold out, man. That's what they're saying, right? That's what they're saying.

No, but I saw Joey outside a couple months ago. He was doing a program director meeting. And I said, what the hell is Joey Badass doing here? I said, Joey about to sell out a few months later. Devastated all over the radio. But a great song is a great song. And I think it's good for people that have been through a lot of stuff and they can see you know clearly you have i just had one mission in mind like i wasn't even trying to make a hit song you know i was just

like i want to make an uplifting song because a lot of my catalog was really like meditative thought-provoking type of music or really aggressive rap style stuff so So I was like, yo, I'm going to challenge myself today. I told my producers, yo, let's make something uplifting and let's speed the tempo up. Yeah, it don't sound like a reach. Like, you know what I'm saying? I hit on the radio, it still sound like you. Honestly, I was just having fun in the booth.

Like, I didn't even write that song. I'm not saying somebody wrote for me. I just freestyled it. You know what I'm saying? Like, it was just a vibe. I went in that booth and I just blacked out and I came out and it was a song, you know? Were you surprised at the success?

Because you don't ever hear Joey Badass music. I mean, when they sent it to me, I'm like, well, you know I can't play Joey Badass in the morning. It's just too usually street or... Well, you could. You guys just choose not to. You know what I'm saying? Play whatever you want.

That's a fact. Charlamagne knows. But now with this record, were you surprised at the success and how well it did and how well it caught on so fast? I mean, you know, so the first time I made the record,

you know, I had a couple people in the studio, but they was in the other room. So as soon as I laid it down, we like gave it a little mix. My homies came in the room and they was like, oh, yeah, you got one, bro. And when he said that,

my homie D, I was like, yeah, you think so? I was like, all right. I didn't really think about it like that, but when I debuted it for the first time at Coachella and I seen how crazy that crowd went, I was like, wow, I really

do have one. Like, it was the first time I performed it, nobody even heard it before, and by the time the second hook came around, everybody in the crowd was screaming the words to the hook. Now, I know you have a background in acting. Yeah. You know, and clearly we know you've been on Mr. Robot. Yeah. How is that for you? I feel like acting is such a scary thing. Damn, Joy, you have a background in acting. Yeah. You know, and clearly we know you've been on Mr. Robot. Yeah.

How is that for you? I feel like acting is such a scary thing. Damn, Joy, you just selling all the way out. You acting? We selling out every seat at the shows. That's what we doing. But, yeah, I do have a background in acting. I actually went to high school for screen theater.

That's when I met all the guys from my crew, like Steve, CJ, Nick. That's when we just linked up on music, and I just realized, you know, music is my corner for right now. But I always looked at it like, if I pursue music and it became successful, I could use it as leverage in the future for acting, and here I am. Do you see how your fans don't want you to grow?

Like, they like you when you're underground. As soon as you start getting the radio playing, popping up on TV. Yeah, you know, fans are very fickle, you know. It's like they just want to keep you to grow. Like, they like you when you're underground. As soon as you start getting the radio playing, popping up on TV. Yeah, you know, fans are very fickle, you know. It's like they just want to keep you for themselves. It's like, at a point in life, I was one of those type of fans. Like, yo, I knew about this artist first.

Like, nah, everybody finding out about him, I don't care about him no more. You know what I'm saying? But you just got to go past it and just be happy for your favorite artist. Like, you know, at the end of the day, artists, they all want to grow, and they want to expand, and they want to be heard.

We don't do this just so we can be heard by a little small community of people, at least not me. Like, when I'm doing something, I do it to the fullest capacity, the fullest potential. Like, I want to be one of the greatest artists of all time. I don't just rap to be an underground rapper.

I rap because I want to be one of the biggest, one of the greatest ever, one of the greatest influences in the world when it comes to music. You know what I'm saying? That's my mission. That's my goal. And you need hit records. What does this mean for the new album? I'm very...

Is it a song with features? A song with Young Thug? No, I'm just kidding. There's actually no features on it right now. He's like, you went in! You really went all the way left on us. Nah, nah, nah, nah. This new album is, well, what new album? I figured it has to be in the album. You started talking about it.

I don't know what you're talking about. You see, that's what y'all do. Y'all love people. You know what I'm saying? Even though it's a new album, I ain't working on nothing. I'm just acting right now, working on my next movie. You know what I'm saying? That's it.

Are you a big Seinfeld fan now after having to watch the first season? No, I'm not. I'm still on it. I love Seinfeld. You're not a fan after watching it? Yeah, it's cool. It's dope. It's just that, like, you know, being a young black kid growing up, that just wasn't my sitcom of choice.

Why'd you have to watch it? For Mr. Robot. Oh. His character loves Seinfeld. Yeah, my character loves Seinfeld. Oh, I thought that was just acting. No, it was cool. It was pretty funny.

I mean, I feel like I don't necessarily relate to it But I still feel like It's a funny show No it is funny It is funny I just totally missed out Exactly

I mean Martin Yeah it's not Martin I was me You see We was too busy Watching Cosby Show Martin Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

You know what I'm saying It's like Yeah I ain't You surprised the president's Daughter loves your music No Especially now We see her twerking And smoking weed Allegedly Like, yeah, I ain't never getting sick. Are you surprised the president's daughter loves your music? No. And it's in your music? Nah, why? Especially now, we see her twerking and smoking weed or something.

I mean, you know, Malay Obama, she's a lady of color, but even if it was, you know, George Bush's daughter, I still wouldn't be surprised if she loved my music. You know what I'm saying? White people actually really love my music. White people love my music. Has she ever reached out? Who?

Malay Obama. Nah, not directly to me, nah. You can't even talk to her, though, because you'll shut it down. The Secret Service. I mean, if something did happen, I wouldn't even talk about it. Did they press you a little bit? Like, who is this Joy badass? I mean, they did a lot of things. They did a couple things.

You know, I felt the clicks in my phone and all that. You know what I'm saying? They cut down a tree in front of your house. They cut down this tree in front of my crib so they could take better photos. You know, the feds and all that, man. It's crazy right now. They listening right now, man. Hey, Charlamagne, you the feds, man.

I am. Yeah, see. You can't beat them joints. I knew it. I knew it. Oh, they really cut down a tree in front of your house? Hey, man, allegedly. I think so, man.

I mean, my third eye is very overreactive, so it could just be me being paranoid. I mean, I don't see the problem. She's a young girl. She listens to hip-hop. Like. I don't see the problem. She's a young girl. She listens to hip-hop. I don't see the big deal. It's all on TMZ. But the problem is I'm a young messiah. I'm a revolutionary leader with that mindset.

I heard the Secret Service said you got to change the direction of your music and make it more out. That's right. Did that make sense? He's the devil's thing. You know what I'm saying? All right, we got more with Joey Badass when we come back. We got to talk to him about his best friend killing himself. Keep it locked.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. That was OT Genesis with Cut It. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Joey Badass is in the building.

Now, going to your show, you're starting to see a lot of white people at your show. I think I went to your show maybe a couple years ago, and it was a majority of white people. Yeah. Did that surprise you at all? You know what I started realizing? Them white people, they couldn't afford them tickets. They go to those festivals. You know what I'm saying?

And I really started keeping that in mind now for my upcoming shows and tours. I'm really trying to lower the ticket price because I never really thought about it like that. Like, yo, low-income kids can't afford these tickets. They can't go to Coachella. They can't afford to drop $25, $30 on a weekend just for a show. You know what I'm saying? They gotta fly out there. They gotta eat. They gotta do all types of things. Sometimes the shows

might be way far from their neighborhood. You know, so I'm taking all those things into consideration now. But nah, I'm not surprised to see white people at the shows. They're in love with the culture. They're in love with the music, you know? If anything, I'm surprised I don't see as much black people at my shows. But like I said, that's one of the factors right there, you know? That's so funny because when I used to work with Wu-Tang, I remember there was a shift in their audience. They went on tour with Rage Against the Machine. And then after that, it was really a lot

of white people at all their shows. And they were like, where's all the black people? But the truth of the matter is when you do do a lot of those stadium at all their shows And they were like, where's all the black people? But the truth of the matter is When you do do a lot of those stadiums And those tours and everything Those are the people that go Especially festivals Being like a festival artist And you're in like, you know, West Bubble, wherever

Those are the people that come out to the forest And, you know, do psychedelics and watch you perform So you're with Schoolboy Q now, right? Yes, I am The Blankface Tour, shout out to Schoolboy Q Shout out to Schoolboy Q, shout out to all the TDE homies. That's a nice matchup.

Yeah. The best tour you're going to catch this fall, man, so make sure y'all cop y'all tickets right now, man. We're going to shut that down. They're affordable. Oh, you see,

this is not my tour, so you know what I'm saying? I ain't set the ticket sales on this one, so oh my, you know, you know what I'm saying? Come out and support if you can. Let's do a free show

every now and then. You be all right. Oh, yeah, for sure. For sure. Definitely. I mean, I was doing the free yeah, for sure, for sure. Definitely. I mean, I was doing the free shows all over the city like two days ago. Even the police was letting us rock at certain points, certain locations. So it was really dope.

How were you raised as a kid? Because you grew up in the same neighborhood as Bobby Shmurda and GS9. Yeah. And obviously they went one way and you went another way. Yeah. How was the differences in how you were raised? Because it was still Brooklyn. I lived in Flatbush

my like basically my whole teenage years, my childhood years, but I grew up in Bed-Stuy. Like Bed-Stuy was my hood. Like that was my neighborhood. That's where I walked around. That's where all my friends was at.

I just lived in Flatbush. But you know, for me growing up it's like I was never a follower. Always a leader. I was like that kid. I was in the smartest class, but I wore the coolest clothes. So, like, I got the girls.

I was the cool kid. Plus, I was cool with the nerds. I was like the kid who I could sit at any lunch table. Right. I was a lunch table hopper. You know what I'm saying? I could sit anywhere. People would just, you know, accept my presence and whatnot.

I was just always that neutral kid. Like, I just always grew up, you know, like a solid head on my shoulders thanks to my mom and my dad. You know, they always kept me in line. I never had to you know, succumb or go down a negative path. You know what I'm saying? I came up, it was low income living. You know, my mom was

struggling. My mom worked two jobs. When that recession hit, you know what I'm saying? They started locking our doors up, coming home from school, not being able to get into my crib. You know what I'm saying? Real devastation, real devastation. You still got that hood in you, though. You punched the cameraman outside MSG.

I mean, you know what I'm saying? Well, I forgot. What was that? He called you ASAP Rocky or something, right? Yeah, he did something like that. He was just trolling me. Yeah, I dug up some old acting clips of you, too. I seen you on Rolling Stones.

Oh, yeah, I'm mad they did that. He was just trolling me. Yeah, I dug up some old action clips of you too. I seen you on Rolling Stones. Oh, yeah. I'm mad they did that. I was like, what is this place? They brought the ninth grade Joey. Yeah, man. That's crazy. I don't want to talk about that.

What was the role? Rock Soup? That was Alice after she shrunk when she ate. I was one of the Tweedles. The Tweedle Jumps. Man. 25 and stuff.

Listen, when you punched the cameraman, why was him calling you ASAP such an insult? Nah, that wasn't the insult. What was the insult was that everybody was like, Joey, Joey, Joey, Joey. And then he came in my face, ASAP, bro. You know what I'm saying?

He was trolling me. I was like, yo, bro, stop playing. I'll smack the out of you. You know what I'm saying? And he was like, what? You ain't going to do nothing. He hit me in the back of my head. So I was like, oh, word?

Like, it was just a snap. Like, I didn't even think about nothing after that. I'm surprised he didn't try to sue you. I was surprised. That's true. Exactly. He hit me first. With your man passing, how did that affect how your career went as far as rapping and everything? It affected everything, you know,

because Capital Steve's for pro era, you know, he was the architect. I say it like this. Every group, every community of friends, we all have what is called conductors in life. Everybody is on, like, a train. You know what I'm saying? On a train car.

Steve's was our conductor. You know what I'm saying? So we all followed him. He all paved the road. And you know what I'm saying? He paved our mindsets, like our ideologies and whatnot. He influenced everything.

So when we lost him, it's like we really lost a part of ourselves. What was so bad? What happened that made him do that? Like what got so deep? It was a lot going on. And honestly, I don't want to get into it that much right now. You know what I'm saying? It's really personal to me.

It's not anything I'm comfortable really speaking on, like, you know, mainstream publications. But it was just a lot. Depression, you know, a lot of things that happened in his life in the past. A lot of changes that was going on. Like, a lot of things that just nobody knew about. The reason I ask is because there's a lot of people that have friends that are going through it, and sometimes they don't want to say nothing because they feel like they don't want to put their personal life.

And I feel like I went through a situation where I was effed up. And there's certain friends like Charlamagne who makes fun of it. But that's him. You know what I mean? You mean I make fun of him? Let him finish. What you talking about? There's certain friends like Charlamagne that I make fun of.

I think it's funny because you never think it's going to happen. And then there's certain people that. Oh, yeah. Okay. See, I don't think that you would kill yourself. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Do it.

Gotcha. But you don't know how hard or how deep a person's situation is. You know what I mean? So to talk about how it affected you and what you've seen, because somebody else might have a friend the same way and be like, nah, they ain't going to do it, and then you never know. I mean, I ain't going to lie.

I ain't going to lie. That was definitely the case. Like, I would have never thought. Like, he was one of the strongest people that I've known. You know what I'm saying? I would have never thought for a second that he would bring himself to do something like that. So it was really just so unbelievable when it happened.

It was just like, I couldn't believe it. I just had a lust for it. I was so shocked. And when he says make fun of people, he means me telling him man up. No, no, I know exactly what you mean. You know, Tripp, I know exactly what you mean. Yeah, I know you ain't making fun of the whole situation. I know what you mean.

Like I said, I was never following my life, but he was the one person who I followed, who I knew if I followed this person wouldn't lead me to no wrong. You know what I'm saying? He was one of the strongest people that I knew. So when that happened, it's just like I said, I couldn't believe it. I know you believe in the law of energy because you read a lot, right? And everything comes back to you, what you put out. So when Troy Ave used capital C's passing of the disc,

then you see what happened to his man later. How did you feel about that? Karma got cuz in a big way. And I'm such at a positive point in my life right now. We don't got to really discuss the negative, but, you know, it is what it is. Wish that man the best of luck with his situation. But it's still unfortunate.

Yeah, it still is unfortunate. You know, another mom is left without a son. And is a black man. So it's nothing like, you know what I'm saying? I ain't the type to breed a man while he down. So I won't do that. We got more with Joey Badass when we come back. Matter of fact, let's get into a single right now.

This is Devastated. This is Joey Badass. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was Joey Badass, Devastated. That's a great record, man. I love that record. He's in the building.

You still live with your mom? I read that somewhere. Yeah, I do. I'm Dukes. You know what I'm saying? You're selling too much records and making too much money on that road. There's a difference, though. I don't care.

I'll tell her every shorty. You still in Best Eye? Nah, I ain't in Best Eye. Don't worry where I'm at. You bought your mom a new crib, at least. Hey, don't worry about it. My mom is straight, B. My mom is good. My mom is happy. No, Best Eye's not a bad place at least. Hey, don't worry about it. My mom is straight, B. My mom is good.

My mom is happy. No, that's not a bad place to be right now, though. No, it's not a bad place to be. But why is Joey living with his mom? Why not? Because he's probably never home. Listen, listen, listen. Me and my mom been just me and my mom since I was five years old.

We got a really intimate relationship. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't say intimate. Don't say intimate. You know what he means. Stop it, guys. You know what he means. Stop it. Don't say intimate. Don't say intimate. You know what he means. Stop it, guys. You know what he means. Stop it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't say intimate. What do you mean? He's talking about his mom. You don't talk about my mom. He's very close with his mother. Very close. Yeah, what do you mean, bro?

No, let me look up the definition. Charlamagne, you sick. You sick. You sick, B. Does she still do your laundry? You sick, B. Everybody know what I mean. No, she does not do this.

Because my mom does my brother's laundry for- My mom still talks about laundry. See, she does not know this. Because my mom did my brother's laundry for... My mom sometimes did my laundry. See, I knew it. Sometimes. My mom did my laundry. Hey, yo, Sam, what you mean? Hey, yo,

there's some 35-year-old men out there right now still living with their moms. I'm 21B. Let me rock. Yeah, but they don't

got money. They live with their mom because they broke. Okay, well, then my mom lived with me in that case.

You know what I mean? I'm sure it's a nice, beautiful house, and you're probably always on the road, so it's probably easier. But do you bring girls home? But it's funny, because I just had the conversation with my mom recently, like, yo, mom, I think, you know what I'm saying,

I think it's time. Time for mom to move out? No, no, that I'll move out. Mom, I think it's time that you move out. Mom, you gotta get out. That I'll move out. You got to kick her out. Ma, you got to get out. Ma, you got to go. I told her, like, Ma, I think it's time, you know, I move out. I do my own thing.

She started crying. She was devastated. She was devastated. You know, it made me so sad. You got to keep your room there and get your own place. So it seemed like you're still there. Yeah, that extended, you know, my time for like three more years. Can you bring girls home and everything?

Yeah, I could. I don't like doing it, though. Like, yeah, I don't like introducing new girls to my mom. You be like, shh, my mom's in the other room. You got to keep it. Nah, it's just like, nah, I don't like that. She hard on your chicks? Who, my mom?

Nah, nah. But he just don't want to make it seem serious. Because once you bring a girl to meet your mom, she think it's serious. Yeah, so, you know what I'm saying? She's like, that's my man. I haven't met his mom. Yeah, I be having to maneuver. Like, hold on.

I'm going to wait here five seconds. Mom pass. All right, we're moving on. How did you get the name Joey Badass? Because your first name was J-O-V? Yeah, J-O-V. That's the first three letters of my first name. My name is Jovan.

I got Joey Badass from when I used to be skater life. You know, I used to skate a lot. But certain people used to make the mistake and be like, Joey, because they just say it so fast. They thought it was Joey when they see me. And one day I was skating and my homie, he was like, yo, don't you just feel so badass right now? I was like, yeah, man, I actually

really do. And that moment just resonated with me so much that, like, Joey badass. There was a white dude in here named Steve. He goes, um, Joey badass? Is he related to Boosie? Boosie Badass. That's funny. That's funny.

Now, what do you think your responsibility is as a young artist with the police killings and all the stuff that's happening, the whole Black Lives Matter movement? Because you're a militant, brother. Yeah, yes, sir. I mean, I think I hold a big responsibility. I think a lot of artists do. They just, you know, don't accept the responsibility. You know, with great power comes great responsibility. You heard it in all

the Spider-Man movies. You know what it is. But I really think that because I have this platform and because I have this voice that it should be utilized for positivity. It should be utilized to uplift people when I can. Because I have that power. And for me, I just think

it's something that I have to do I feel like this is my sole purpose to inspire children to inspire the world I'm gonna use my vessel to you know promote positivity to promote peace to promote knowledge understanding wisdom love most importantly is that one of the reasons you want to grow as an artist you want to be bigger exactly yeah I want to expand, you know, so the whole universe can understand where I'm coming from and get my message, you know? So do you have other things in the works besides

Mr. Robot, since that's on now? Yeah, I do. I actually, it's funny, I landed the role for the Obama movie called Barry. And then they shut you down in Secret Service? No, no, no, they didn't shut me down. What happened? Where did you land? So I landed the role as one of his best friends in college.

Was it Reggie? The guy who introduced him to weed. No. Well, possibly. But the guy who introduced him to the projects. Okay. The guy who showed him, like, what was really going on in America. That's who I was in the movie.

But because of Coachella, they were shooting the same week as Coachella. So it was either Coachella or the were shooting the same week as Coachella. So it was either Coachella or the Obama movie. Wow, that's a huge decision to make. I might have did the Obama movie. But you got to think about it like this. Music is my first thing. It is my main source of income. It is my number one thing.

But a movie on the president? No, for sure. But if I didn't do Coachella that one time, them dudes would have never let me do Coachella again. You gotta take care of the home, baby. They couldn't have pushed back the shooting? They couldn't. I told them. I wanted it so bad. I wanted it so bad. I know. I'd have been like, how can

we make this work? Can I film on this day? Yeah. Coachella. It's crazy because they ended up going with cuz from Straight Outta Compton who played Eazy-E. So shout out to homie, man. Wow. That's crazy because that movie didn't look like it was going to be like a big theater release at first. It looked like it was going to like Lifetime

or something at first. How long did it take you to make the decision? It took me like at least a week. Like I asked so many people. People was like, yo, I don't know, man. You ain't never going to be able to do a Obama movie again. I'm like, you right. But I just don't know, man. You look down about it. You still look like you. I am. I don't know if I'm going to be able to do a Obama movie again. I'm like, you right, but I just don't know, man.

You look down about it. You still look like you. I am. I'm devastated. I'm devastated, man. I really wanted that. I really wanted that role, B. You've always said you want to bring lyrical hip-hop back to the forefront.

You think it's come back? Oh, it's come back. Absolutely. You know, artists like myself, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Pusha T. You know, it's comeback. You know, you've got Hov jumping out every now and then. Big Sean. Like, everybody rapping.

Yeah, everybody's rapping. Everybody, you know, is getting more serious about it. It's just a balance, man, that we got to keep in this game. Like, I'm not mad at all of the fun stuff that happens, like the club music and whatnot. We need that sometimes. We need to just not think about stuff too deep and just let it loose. You know what I'm saying?

Just catch a vibe. Melodic mumbling is what I call it. Melodic mumbling. Yeah. I mean, we don't necessarily need that all the time, but, you know, the fun stuff, I'm not mad at it at all, like at least as much as I used to be. We appreciate you joining us, man. Appreciate you guys having me.

Last time you was late. It was a good day. It was the breakfast club. And I got some good books, too you joining us, man. Appreciate you guys having me. Last time you was late. It was a good day. It was the Breakfast Club. And I got some good books, too. You know what I'm saying? That's it. What a day.

It's Joey Badass. Peace. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report.

Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. I saw this story yesterday, but I only saw it on one website, on Rhymes of Snitch. So I was like, let me verify this. But it turns out it is true. T.I.'s restaurant in Atlanta, Skills 925.

They are going to be shutting down. It just opened. Yeah, it just opened last year in April. Damn, we should have took them up on that free meal when we was in Atlanta. I know. Listen, I really wanted to go, but I had to go do a podcast, and then it was just too late. We had the morning show. I heard it's really nice, too, but apparently there were some issues with his business partner.

Now, there's been issues with this restaurant for quite some time. One guy, Avery Lee, he had gotten hired as a bartender. He said it was a dream job. He put 100% into it. He stayed late nearly every shift. And he said he did not end up getting paid for his overtime. They stopped

paying him when he became a bar manager. So they owed him $28,000. A judge did rule in his favor. And then 13 other former Skills 925 employees filed lawsuits that said they were not paid for wages. That totaled about $110,000 altogether. Damn.

All right. You said that together. Well, it turns out they owe over a million dollars because they just haven't been paying rent. And they now have an eviction notice for over a million dollars because of back rent that's owed to the landlord. Now, the landlord says that T.I. hasn't paid his rent in months. But T.I. did respond to these allegations. He went on his Instagram page and said, attention, attention, everybody. This is Charles.

He is not associated with me or my company in any capacity. He is not authorized to book anything on me or my company's behalf. He put up his picture. We have no dealings nor partnerships outside of my restaurant, Skills 925, which was a huge mistake in hindsight. Do not call him about any of my restaurant, Skills 925, which was a huge mistake in hindsight. Do not call him about any of my business. If it ain't Clay, Doug, KT, Hannah, C-Rock, Gilly, or G. Roberson, it ain't legit. This message has been written by, endorsed,

and approved by the king, bitch. Hey, man, you always got to have somebody to blame it on, bro. Drop one of Clues' bombs for T.I. having somebody to blame it on. His partner. All right, damn sure. I'm just mad we missed that free meal.

That was the same night we got drunk with Keith Sweat. That was that night. That was that night. But shout out to T.I. I'm sure he's going to work this out and fix it somehow. But I guess they're saying it's going to close down unless they can write that check. All right.

Vin Diesel had some words about what's going on with this Fast and Furious 8 behind the scenes as they're filming the beef with him and The Rock. You know, he said people, now Tyrese also posted a picture. He said, I've always said that if only people knew how hard you work to protect this franchise and characters, minds would be blown. I'm so effing proud to call you my family and my brother. That's Tyrese talking about Vin Diesel. And they are super cool. Actually, when we went to a house party at Tyrese's house,

Vin Diesel was standing outside, I remember, rapping. So anyway, here is what Vin Diesel has to say. Learn that your little angel learned a new word. What? A new word kind of describes my spirit and my soul. And most people who stay positive, the new word is happy. When I heard her say happy i just lit up in ways i can't even describe i will tell you everything everything let me tell you something

i don't care how scary his voice sounds he can sit there and sound like groot all he want the rock will wash him in a fight okay so he So he captioned this video, So much has gone on in this year. I can't believe I wrapped two back-to-back pictures I both starred in and produced. Now I get to return to my family, my life to me. So I don't know what's going on, but they have a mad drama. And speaking of drama,

Jhene Aiko has filed for divorce. She is getting divorced after being married to Dr. Genius for only 11 months. Dropping the clues bombs for Big Sean's penis causing divorces out here. What? So, yes, it's only been a few months. In early June, there was footage of Big Sean and Jhene Aiko together. A lot of people thought it was just PR for her album,

but they do seem like they really have a thing going on. Big Sean don't play no games? Shut up. Big Sean don't play no games? Shut up. Big Sean don't play no games. And apparently, yes, she is now going to, you know, be not married anymore. A lot of people were saying, oh, she's not even married for real. But he had posted, Dr. Genius had posted a picture

of their wedding day and everything. So, yes, they were definitely married. And, yes, they are now getting divorced. She wants to deny Dr. Genius any spousal support also. I live vicariously through Big Sean. He just be out here running through all these R&B singers, all these pop stars. He just be moving and grooving.

Drop one of the clues bombs for Big Sean. One more damn time. Salute to Detroit. What up, though? I love it. Alright, well, I guess some great music came out of it, and I'm sure it will continue to come out of it. And Sean got a whole album full of features with Jermaine Aiko.

Sean don't be playing. It's not features. It's a joint album. It's a joint album. Andy did a song with Ariana Grande. Sean do not be playing. He didn't get a guest role

on Glee, though. No, he didn't. Didn't get a song on the Glee soundtrack either. She wasn't even on Glee anymore after they started dating. Oh, she wasn't? No.

Oh. For a little while. You are a bird, yo. You got a bird mentality, man. Hey, man, I just like to see people winning, man. Big Sean's out here winning, man. Suit to that guy. All right.

Well, that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. All right. Thank you, Missy. Charlemagne! Yes. Who you giving that donkey to on this Friday? Well, we was just talking about rappers that are winning.

Let's talk about a rapper that's losing. You never heard of him, but his name is Kev Murda. He needs to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him. His name is actually Kevin Simons, or Kevin Simmons. All right. I'm trying to encourage him to turn himself in today, but we name is Kev Murda. He needs to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him. His name is actually Kevin Simons, the Kevin Simmons. All right. I'm trying to encourage him to turn himself in today, but we'll talk about it. Kev Murda. When we come back, keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Charlemagne, say the gang donkey under the shade. Charlemagne. 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 Day today? Well, Ed Sheeran. Donkey of the Day for Friday, August 12th, goes to a young man named Kevin Simmons, a.k.a. Kev Murda. Kev Murda is his rap name, ladies and gentlemen, and the problem with most rappers nowadays is that they are really too real. Let me

rephrase that. It's a lot of rappers nowadays that are really too criminal, okay? It's a difference between real versus criminal. In our culture, we tend to confuse the two, but Kevin Simmons is one of these new Negroes who is actually living the crimes he raps about. I don't know if it's art imitating life or life imitating

art. Either way, Kevin Murda is a damn fool. See, Kevin Murda is from Cincinnati. And like many a lost Negro before him, he decided to move to Atlanta to further his rap career. Well, I guess his money got low in Atlanta, so he decided to do the logical thing to get some paper and that's to rob that great institution

called Wells Fargo Bank. Okay? A surveillance video shows him passing a note to the bank teller, and less than a half minute later, he is handed a pocket of cash. All right? A whole packet of cash, okay? A whole wad of cash. A lot of cash. Now, this isn't the only video that exists of Kevin Simmons in a bank robbing

because Kev Murda has a video on YouTube which also features him, guess what? Guess what? Doing what? guess what? Robbing a bank. Simulating a bank robbery. I can't make this kind of stuff up, people. Go to WSBTV.com for the report. Rap artist known as Kev Murda, but detectives say on his rap sheet, he's known as Kevin Simmons.

Cops say this is Simmons holding up the Wells Fargo Bank along Georgia 138 last week. Detectives believe Simmons has done this before. Police say when Simmons left the bank, he ran across the highway toward this drugstore and into the trees behind the building where a police dog found loads of evidence. The pants that he was wearing, a pair of unique sunglasses that he was wearing while inside the bank. We also located the demand note that he provided to the teller and a.40 caliber Smith & Wesson handgun. And police say half an hour after the robbery, Simmons sent his girlfriend back to the spot where he dropped the pistol to pick it up.

Problem for her is detectives were already there looking for it, and they arrested 21-year-old Alyssa Williams. They think Simmons is around the metro somewhere. All right. They didn't is around the metro somewhere. All right. They didn't find him yet? No. When will you guys learn that things you do online can affect your ass offline?

I don't understand you cyber criminals, all these street dudes. Don't condone snitching, but you snitch on yourselves online every day. You pose with your guns. You pose with your drugs. You threaten to kill people. And you do music videos simulating crimes

that you actually do in real life. What was the music video? Practice, Kev Murda? Practice makes perfect, right? Do a couple of takes of you robbing a bank in a music video and ensure that you get it done correctly in real life, huh? Measure twice to cut once. I understand Kev Murda, you know, but

the worst thing that ever happened to hip-hop was when rappers started going platinum for talking about criminal activity. Not only rapping about criminal activity, but getting props for really doing criminal activity. Not only rapping about criminal activity, but getting props for really doing criminal activity. That is why the lines are so blurred when it comes to what's real and what's criminal. Real is just being yourself, being who you are, doing you. Okay, like the Joey Badasses of the world, the Chants, the Rappers, the Race Murmurs.

Those guys aren't trying to be criminals. They're just real cool kids having a great time. You, Kev Murda, are a criminal. You didn't just play a criminal in a music video. You are a real life criminal now, okay? And when you're a real criminal, there's consequences. And there is a jail cell in your future, sir. And I know you might be out there listening, Kevin Simmons, because police say you're hiding out in Atlanta. So to everybody listening to us on Screech 94.5 in Atlanta, just turn yourself in, okay? You're going to jail, bro. No need to prolong the process.

They got you, and you're already been snitched on, and the person that snitched on you will be staring back at you in the mirror for the rest of your life, okay? Please give Kevin Simmons, a.k.a. Kev Murda, the biggest hee-haw. It's like a Key & Peele skit. It is definitely like a Key & Peele skit. It's definitely like a Wayne Brothers movie. It's just all key and pill skit. It is definitely like a key and pill skit. It's definitely like a Wayne Brothers movie. It's just all out ridiculous.

The fact that the young lady went back to look for the gun and the bank robbery note. Why wouldn't you rip the bank robbery note up? Why would you keep the bank robbery note? Like it's a receipt. I don't know. It's just like First 48, which I was watching last night too. Just turn yourself in, Kevin Simmons.

Something very similar happened. He did a song where he talked about, I think, killing three people. It's just music. Everybody's on to you, Kevin Murda. It's not just music when you actually do the crime in real life. Right. Okay? It could be just music.

It could be just a video until you actually go do the crime in real life. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day, sir. When we come back, we have Sherrod Small and Christian Finnegan. Now, they're from the new A&E show, Black and White. Now, tell us about the show. They're both comedians in Black and White. I was on the Black and White show.

It's just a show that explores race relations here in America, race here in America. It comes on A&E. I was on there one night. I was on the first episode, actually. Okay. We'll kick with them when we come back. Keep it locked. Don't go anywhere.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. That was Jay-Z with Encore. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building.

Co-host on the show, Black and White. Yes. My guy, Sherrod Smalls. Yes, in the house, man. Christian Finnegan. Yes. My guy, Sherrod Smalls. Yes, in the house, man. Christian Finnegan. Yes. Say me. Morning, guys.

Thanks for having us. From the show Black and White on A&E. Yes, Charlamagne. You did the premiere, too. Me and Jim Gaffigan. Gaffigan. Jim's really white. Yeah.

Yeah. And what's the show about? And I'm really black. Black guy and a white guy. It's okay. Pretty much. Break the show down for them, Christian. Well, you know, it's Sherrod and I are friends,

and we kind of would always have these sort of conversations. Anyway, usually when you see like a white guy and a black guy talking about race, either the white guy is like a hip-hop white guy, or the black dude is like a Harvard black dude. You're saying I'm not Harvard? What's wrong with being a Harvard black dude? There's nothing wrong with that. But you know what I mean?

You know what I'm saying, though? It's like a prep black dude? There's nothing wrong with that. But you know what I mean? You know what I'm saying, though. It's like a prep school attitude. It's like opposite. They're trying to get opposite, opposite. Like Ben Carson. I don't even tell black people what hip-hop artists I like because I'm afraid that I'll ruin their careers. Why is race such a hot commodity right now? It's always been.

It's always been a hot commodity because it's always on people's minds but not always on their lips. And sometimes the conversation, our show is about trying to keep the conversation going after where the conversation usually stops. And we try to bring some humor into it because we're comedians. You ever dated a black woman, Chris? Date?

Yeah. Yeah. Not long term, but you know, I have. We went to NYU, so they mix it up over there. Did you have a sexual one?

Yes, I have. Yes, I have had sexual congress. She's still crying. She's still crying about it. What's better, vagina, white or black? I don't know that I have a large cross-section to really make

I can answer that question. Yeah, please answer that question. I got a larger sample size. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm talking about like two women that I'm judging on, so I can't really say. I remember once when I was temping at a job and this dude worked with me and every once in a while he would just turn over.

He's like, there's only two things in this life that matter, man, pink and green. That's real. Pink and green. That's the thing. That's like an AKA, by the way. See, I thought I was saying a joke, and you guys looked at it like I just dropped major philosophy. That's real. You guys are like, you know, that's a good point.

That's a very good point. God, your family, but I mean... Tell me more. It's like God comes behind pink, though. It's like pink, green, and then God. God created the pink. Can black people be racist? Of course.

You're looking at one right now. Are you racist? Are you just angry based off the way we've been oppressed in this country? Some people will argue that black people cannot be racist. So black people in America can't be racist or black people anywhere in the world can't be racist? Who was saying that? Was it Mark Lamont Hill? Mark Lamont Hill.

A lot of people say that. Mark's a good friend, yeah. To stop people from getting certain jobs and because white people are more in a position of power. What about in Jamaica? We can't be. Or St. Thomas? Where black people are in charge. They can keep a white man

from getting a job. That's true. I think it's in very small context. Anybody can be like racially bigoted or prejudiced, but racism, I think, is a power thing. One of the reasons

that they kind of hate Obama so much is because they've never been condescended to by a black guy before. Yeah. Like, they know black people as being either like the sweet guy who works at the front desk of their office building or like angry Chuck D.

You know, like they, you know, 80s Chuck D. Like they've never had like a black guy like be like pat them on the head and, you know, be better than them in a way that they don't have to. Why a black guy gotta work at the front desk? Why he can't be the boss though? I'm just messing with you. Is the world too sensitive? Like, you know, because you can make a white joke. No problem.

Everybody lies. But if you make a black joke, it might not be. That's black privilege, baby. We're the oppressed. You know what, though? Honestly, you know, because I know this from doing stand-up for 20 years. And generally speaking, when I'm doing racial material in a club, it's always the white people have a problem with it. Really?

I mean. They get uncomfortable. When you say something that black people don't agree with, they'll let you know, but they're way more willing to sort of go down the road with you if it's funny, whereas white people, it's just like, we're not supposed to talk about this. And they all look around,

and they look at the black guy in the audience to make sure it's okay. I'm not going to lie. I've never wanted to act more black in my life than in this very moment. These times right here make me want to act very black just because I know everybody's so sensitive to race. Yeah, that's why you want to act up, but you know what?

You want to do it in the right way so you can keep doing it. That's how we feel. There's a lot of people that have commented on the show, you know, the people who happen to just flip to black and white after watching something else on A&E or whatever. And they're like, this is a double standard. And white people, you know, black people can say racist things and white people aren't allowed to. And they're right. You know, it's a double standard because I allow black people to say things that I can't

say and in exchange, I get to keep my money in power. That's the way I feel about it. That's our black privilege. That's what I'm trying to tell Jim on this show. When you're an oppressed person, you can make jokes the oppressed can't make jokes. Christian, have you ever just said Nick? No.

So what if your black friends walk up on you and be like, Christian, my Nick. What do you do? I say, hello, good sir. Salutations, my friend. The other day I was at the Drake and Future show and the Trap and Wear song came on and there was a white woman. Yeah. And she was definitely singing all that. I looked

just to see if she was going to really sing it and she really did. Good for her for singing it. She had a concert. I mean, that was a little woman. Yeah. And she was definitely singing all that. I looked just to see if she was going to really sing it. And she really did. Good for her for singing it. She had a concert. I mean, that was a little bit of a trap. There's that no-win situation there, you know. I like how you was looking at it, too. Like, just five, four, three, two, the big set.

I just wanted to see what she was going to do. Don't you think we're a generational thing, though? Yeah, young kids say it. They're all singing and say it all together. They don't even know the historical context of it. No, they don't look at it. But anything that happened two weeks ago, young kids don't know about it. I'll see Asian kids in my neighborhood say it to each other all the time.

And they're not saying it to be provocative. It's just they're saying, like, dude. It's like, dude is to me. It is. But Asian people are also people of color, too. Can't no 40-year-old Asian call me n***a. That's the E-R at the end. But Latinos can, right?

Yeah, Latinos can do it. And even the Jabbawockeez can do it. Where's the line? When are you, like, what is the... I mean, I always looked at Latinos. How many degrees from black are you allowed to say? That's a question. Joe says it, and I don't have...

J-Lo said it. It was a huge deal. I don't... Well, if you get mad at J-Lo for saying it... Yeah, if you have sex with a black guy, you can say it. But does honky-ponky bother white people? Does it? No.

No. It's adorable. No, the. No. It's adorable. No, they all die. It's adorable. It's honky. Cracker, any of those things. Like, oh, I see what you're trying to do. It's hilarious.

Cracker's not adorable. What about white devil? Nah. I mean, it doesn't matter to me. What about little pink penis? That's a little closer. That one cuts a little deeper. I'm not going to lie to you.

That's the right word? Have you learned anything new about white people in the making of this show, Sherrod? Yeah. Actually, I found if you bring a white partner on, executive producer show with you, you get white money. You get green money. That's why you got to have a white friend

to use their white privilege, like Wi-Fi. Yes. Like Wi-Fi. What about you, Chris? Have you learned anything new about black people making this show? I found out that apparently, in my mind, growing up, Eddie Murphy, like, you know, Beverly Hills Cop, that's like the quintessential Eddie Murphy movie.

And then every time I talk to a black person, they always say Coming to America. Coming to America. That's what I'm talking about. What? That's how we started the whole show. It's literally like our first conversation that kind of started the show. No. Axel Foley versus Prince Hakeem, not even close.

Not even close. You know who watched Coming to America? Of course. But I think of that as a second tier Eddie Murphy movie. No. What close you know who watched Coming to America of course but I think of that as a second tier Eddie Murphy movie what I know

see to me Beverly Hills Cop and in Trading Places are top tier nah both of those kind of trash compared to like

the Golden Child Coming to America Golden Child third tier Golden Child I don't know that I would put Golden Child on that level. Vampire.

The Golden Child? No, I love that, but not that high. It's not on the level. Please. That high? Yes. That was a little cheesy. Compare the trade places in Beverly Hills Cop.

I think trade in places after Coming to America. I think Coming to America's top. But I love trade in places, though. That was much better. That was a great movie. That was a Beverly Hills Cop. Hall of Nights? Hall of Nights?

Then what about Dr. Doodles? No, no, no. That's a whole different time period. That was a great movie. That was a Beverly Hills cop. Hall of Nights? Hall of Nights? Then what about Dr. Doolittle? No, no, no. That's a whole different time period. That was a different generation. The Nutty Professor, the first one. Watch is Dr. Doolittle. The Nutty Professor was good. Yeah, Nutty Professor.

That's the one I'm talking about, yeah. Y'all don't think Golden Child is up there? No way. You gotta watch Golden Child again, man. Best defense. No. Over different places? It tells a lot about a person.

Even Beverly Hills Cop. I didn't like Beverly Hills Cop. Your top Eddie Murphy movies tells a lot about a person. Even Beverly Hills Cop. I didn't like Beverly Hills Cop. Your top Eddie Murphy movies tells a lot about you. It sure does. And when we come back, we'll talk more about that. Don't go anywhere. Sherrod Smalls, Christian Finnegan. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. That was Bryson Tiller. Don't morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, we got two special guests joining us this morning. Now, Charlamagne, they're on a new show. What's the name of their show?

It's called Black and White on A&E. Black and White on A&E. We have Sherrod Smalls and Christian Finnegan. Sherrod, are there some stereotypes about white people that you have found to be true after doing this show? They stingy. Okay. What kind of white people stingy, Sherrod?

They don't know how to mind their business. Sherrod, Sherrod, what kind of white people are stingy, Sherrod? Just men, white men. White women I got no problem with. No specific white men. I see where Charlene's going with this. That's who he's going to.

No specific white men, Sherrod. He's setting a trap for you, Sherrod. You'll never work in entertainment again. Go back. Run away. Now, we're talking about stereotypes.

Was he ever late for a shooting? Yes. Oh, yes. Yes, yes, yes. All the time. Sherrod loves it. Run away Now we're talking about stereotypes Was he ever late for a shooting? Yes Oh yes Yes yes yes All the time We're gonna get to Christians Sherrod loves it

When he shows up Before I do somewhere I do it on purpose Just to haunt him He acts like he won some prize Or something Just like this morning I beat him here

Cause Christian is so white Being on time is his thing Right So sometimes when I get places early I see his face And he's defeated He's like, oh. You think CP time is a real thing?

Sometimes, yeah. Yeah. No, but here's the thing. Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, not broadly, but it is certainly something I've noticed. Here's the thing about, you know, there's a little game I play sometimes in the office called Black Thing or Sherrod Thing, where sometimes I have to wonder, is this like a black cultural thing that I need to respect, or is this Sherrod just being a jackass?

Well, like being late, it's not even just being late. It's like I'm late sometimes, but when I'm late, I'm like, I'm sorry, guys. I got to get here. Well, Sherrod will show up an hour late and just be like, hey, what's going on, everybody? That is a black thing, right? I'm not going to rush it. I'm not going to see them with me rushing. So it's not, okay, how come if all black people can run faster than me,

they all walk slower? Because goddamn, when I get stuck on the street behind like two black guys having conversations, like, oh my God, would you please just move fast? Because we're scrolling,

we're being cold. Oh God, it drives me crazy. You know what I'm saying? We're strolling, you know what I'm saying? We're talking about this new, you know,

Fetty Wap or something, this new Jay-Z, like we walking. I'm trying to get to work, gentlemen. Now, here's one thing that bothers me. When black women get weaves, people act like it's only black women that get weaves.

Thank you. So why are you trying to act like you're why don't you embrace your true self? But white women get weaves all the time, too. I didn't know. I remember when I, you know, I've been in New York since the 90s, and I remember standing on the subway platform before the age of cell phones, and you have something to look at, and just staring at the magazine kiosk, and just marveling at all the black hair magazines. There's a lot of them.

You know, black tresses and black hair. Yeah, there's so many. I was like, is this really that big of a deal? And now I know enough to be, yeah, it's a big deal. Yeah, it's a big deal. It's a big business. Yeah. Yeah, and it's just recently that black people started making money off of it.

Right. That's true. Like big money. Yeah. We talking next week on Outshore on Black and White about the marijuana industry and why people of color are getting blocked out the legal marijuana part of it. Yeah. That's fascinating stuff.

Yeah. There's, you know, for decades, obviously, you know, black people, you know, have been put in jail for selling weed. And now that you can sell weed legally, all of a sudden it's all white people. And plus if you got convicted you can't sell in some states. You got convicted back in the day, which is brutal. Yeah, I think that's an informational thing too though. Because I got a lot of white friends in the

weed industry who are trying to get me involved in this. I just think it's like an informational thing. I don't think people realize, like even here in New York they got dispensaries that you could be a part of. People don't know that. People don't know. Information. You're right. Information is key.

That's what brings people together. Weed. Weed and alcohol. And Pokemon. Not the same alcohol. Who do you think you can make money on alcohol? That was when I used to bar 10 years ago, and I was working at a college bar like up near Columbia, and I would have this sort of running social experiment where I would just quietly guess what someone's going to drink because it would break down racially all the time.

Hit it for Nick. What does a black person want? I know the long LIC. That's more black women. Latino women, a lot of vodka crayons. White girls like Bay Breeze, Sea Breeze, something like that. White dudes, pitchers of beer.

Jack Daniels. If that. Mostly these are cheap college kids. They're just getting pictures of Bud or whatever. But yeah, I remember I once bartended at a live funk bar and a girl came in and ordered a Hennessy and Yoo-Hoo. Ew. You guys had Yoo-Hoo?

No, we didn't. She assumed we did. She was shocked that we didn't, though. That sounds like a horrible mix. Her boyfriend is so embarrassed. They don't have Yoo-Hoo here. Hennessy and ginger beer is my favorite. Regular Hennessy and you and me to run. Imagine Hennessy and Yoo-Hoo.

It's like, I want to get fucked up, but I want to be in junior high school. It's so disgusting. You ever been judged somebody's drink order? No. Occasionally. Occasionally. But that's pretty, you know. What do fat white women drink?

Fat white women. Now, still, it's usually, I mean, if they're college age, granted, I'm talking about college girls, it's always got cranberry or orange juice or vodka or something. Vodka infections. Yeah, cranberry juice for all the beauty eyes.

Parents know that. My goodness. We appreciate you guys joining us on the show Black and White is on. What time? When? 1030 on AME My goodness. We appreciate you guys joining us. Now, the show Black and White is on what time? When? 10.30 on A&E, 10.30 Eastern and 9.30 Central.

On Wednesdays. Wednesdays, right after Wahlburgers, right after Donnie and them. All right. Every time that show reruns, I get a lot of tweets, boy. You were great on it, man. A lot of white people watching A&E. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Did y'all ever get into, like, a real argument?

Who, me and him? Oh, yes. But that's the thing. into a real argument? Who, me and him? Always. But that's the thing. And this is honestly where I give Sherrod a lot of credit. He doesn't hang me out to dry. We'll argue and stuff, and we'll get kind of heated. But then we both have that comedian mentality where you just bust the tension with a joke or whatever. And then 20 minutes later, it's over.

Have you ever hung Sherrod anywhere? Have we what? Have you ever hung Sherrod anywhere? Hung? You said he hangs you out to dry. Have you ever hung Sherrod anywhere? Have we what? Have you ever hung Sherrod anywhere? Hung? You said he hangs you out to dry. Have you ever hung him out anywhere? No, I don't think I've ever, like, but I'm saying as a black dude, he has more opportunity. I get what he's trying to do, but I'm not going there.

I'm not going there. What'd you say, Whitey? I'm just uncomfortable. Go, Solomon, right! I'm just uncomfortable talking whether Sherrod is hung or not. He fills my penis on his leg as we speak. Crawling on my shorts. That's one way to keep racial tension down.

Sword fight. If I had to guess, Christian, are you a boobs or a butt man? Boobs. That's what I would have guessed. Yeah, yeah. Because he even gets angry that white dudes are acting like they like butts now. I don't like that white people pretend that they're into huge circus butts. Because they're lying.

I mean, maybe young white guys now because they've grown up thinking that they're supposed to like it, so they actually do. But there's a generation of white dudes who are like, oh yeah, I love a big ass. No, you don't. Stop it. What's wrong with having a big ass white man? There's nothing wrong with it, but you didn't, you're phony. You're trying to grab onto

a trend. You think Ben Affleck got y'all started on that, right? Yeah, Ben Affleck is the Christopher Columbut. After Jennifer Lopez. He's Jackie Robinson of assets, man. Well, there you have it. It's Sherrod Small. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. On The Breakfast Club. Listen up. Yes, our president, Barack Obama, has put up his playlist on Spotify. He did a summer playlist, Songs for the Daytime daytime and then he did a songs for the nighttime. Okay. Now, what is on

our president's playlist? Well, he has Wale on there, Love Hate Thing. Who do my guy Wale? Leon Bridges, Smooth Ceiling. He also has Jay-Z and Pharrell, So Ambitious. I mean, a lot of songs.

He has Janelle Monae, Tightrope. That's a nice one. Aretha Franklin, Rocksteady. He's all over the place. Nas and Damian Marley as we enter. He has Prince, You Got the Look. He's all over the place. Nas and Damian Marley as we enter. He has Prince, You Got the Look. That's my song, too.

All right, as far as the nighttime playlist, he has Crescent Michelle, If I Have My Way. What about Between the Sheets? I didn't see that on this particular list. He has Billie Holiday, Lover Man. He has Lady by D'Angelo. I wonder if he likes the remix. I'm surprised he had no Jodeci on his nighttime playlist.

He does have Mary J. Blige and Method Man, You're All I Need. There you go. I walked down the aisle to that record. Listen, I felt bad, but he has Janet Jackson, I Get Lonely. I hope our president is not lonely. He probably does feel lonely. I mean, you're the leader of the free world. Nobody can understand what you're going through except for the president,

so I'm sure he gets lonely. Floetry, say yes. And Anthony Hamilton, I saw he posted it. Do you feel me? He also has Chance the Rapper, Acid Rain, on his nighttime playlist. So you guys should check it out. People were very into President Barack Obama's summer playlist. Yeah, you can see why Malia smokes a little weed here and there.

You know what I'm saying? He probably smokes with her. No. No. He don't do that. He used to. But he don't do that. He used to smoke weed.

He did, but he can understand why she smokes. He don't smoke with her, I'm sure, but he understands. Weed is legal in a lot of places, you know. It ain't legal in the White House. Not at that age. It's not legal, but... Not at that age. She's 17, 18.

She's not 18 yet. She's about to go to college. She's about to go to college. She's about to Harvard. She's a second year off. Oh. Oh. All right, Rihanna,

congratulations to Riri. She's actually going to be getting the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the MTV Video Music Awards this year. And she posted about it. She was very honored to receive that award.

So congratulations to her. Oh, so that means she'll be in attendance? Yes. Okay. Hopefully. I mean, Beyonce's gotten it. Kanye's gotten it. I go to the VMAs every year.

I'm actually in New York this year. Yeah, I've been working at MTV for, what, four years now, five years? I'm going every year for the past five years. Right, so this year it's in New York, so people are excited because that's where it all started. Last year I actually worked the red carpet pre-show. Okay, I see you.

Yep. Alright, Stevie J and Jocelyn, they've been having all kinds of issues. You know she's pregnant right now. Right. And Stevie J's saying the baby is not his. He also was saying that Jocelyn's been lying about her age. She's not 29, she's 39 years old. He said she's not even from Puerto Rico.

She might still be married to somebody else. And he also talks about her real name. Well, here is what Stevie J had to say when he spoke to TMZ. I wanted to extend this order of protection I had, you know what I'm saying, on Jocelyn and all that. But they didn't extend it because they felt that

we didn't have any violent encounters in the past year. But I just wanted her to, you know what I'm saying, refrain from talking about my family, my daughters, and all that. No matter what, she's pregnant, so I just hope the baby is all right. So is the baby yours? We're just going to have to let the DNA decide. As far as speaking to Jocelyn, he hasn't spoken to her, and here's the reason why. We haven't spoken.

You know, after you were going so far to bring an innocent kid into something, I don't, you know what I'm saying? There's no words for me. Like I said, I wish her the best. Yeah, you got to lead a kid set of things like that. Yeah, and if Stevie J going to reveal all Jocelyn's secrets, why don't you just go ahead and tell us that Jocelyn's really a man?

Why don't you go ahead and tell us that Jocelyn actually used to be Josh? Okay? Don't just tell us about all the other secrets. Tell us the real scoop, okay? And the real scoop is that she got her penis removed. Allegedly. And got a scoop in her crotch. Allegedly.

So we don't know what's going on, but he did try to get a restraining order against her. He wanted to have that restraining order extended. The judge did say no. So when you get a restraining order against somebody like Jocelyn, do you get a restraining order against a male or female? Does it say male named Jocelyn Hernandez or female? It's a female, man. She's pregnant.

Impossible. She's pregnant. Okay, she has a surrogate, okay? My goodness. It's impossible. All right, well, that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. All right, thank you, Ms. Yee. Now, when we come right. Well, that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. All right.
