A lot of great Capricorns.
Whenever we walk in, they give us a list of whose birthday it is.
Michelle Obama.
Mm-hmm.
James Earl Jones.
Mm-hmm.
Jim Carrey.
Muhammad Ali.
Yeah, I'm just going to forget Ray J.
Little John.
Yeah, I'm just going to skip over Ray J.
Shabba Rankin.
I mean, I was trying to build up to the best.
I was going to leave Ray J for last.
All right, there you go.
Maury Povich.
Okay.
Steve Harvey.
Betty White.
That's who should be getting the applause right there.
Who?
Betty White.
Why?
96?
Oh, okay, because of age.
She's 96 years old.
All these great black people.
Muhammad Ali.
And you talk about Betty White should be the one getting the applause. She's 96 years old. All right great black people. Muhammad Ali and you talk about Betty White should be the one getting their blood. She's 96
years old. Alright, congratulations.
And she's still dabbing. Betty White's doing
the commercial dabbing.
That's what counts? Yes. When you're 96
and still dabbing. I want to be able to dab in 96.
That's when it matters? I see a lot of people in 96
they can't dab. Yesterday was Aaliyah's birthday.
Yeah, yesterday was Aaliyah's. I'll take the legacy
of somebody like Muhammad Ali over being able to
dab at 96. Happen. I just want to be alive, bro. I'll take the legacy of somebody like Muhammad Ali over being able to dab at 96.
Happen.
All right?
I just want to be alive, bro.
I came in this morning, and I was telling Envy I'm a little nervous because I agreed to do this detox now,
and they sent me the instruction manual yesterday.
And tell them what they said.
Well, as I'm reading this, I see as the steps are going on,
it's a 14-day detox with these herbal supplements,
and they're telling you what's going to be happening
to your body, and apparently at one point
there might be some type of greenish discharge.
Don't blame that on the
free thumb. Don't blame that
on the detox. Goodness gracious.
I haven't done it, but it's telling you the result of the
body's different things happening.
You got a panty line on, right?
No. Why would I have a panty line on? If you expect them discharged, shouldn't you have a panty line on? Do you have a panty line on, right? No. Why would I have a panty line on?
If you expect him discharged,
shouldn't you have a panty line on?
Do you have a panty line on?
I don't discharge.
Oh, okay.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, so.
You should let your boyfriend know
about the discharge, though.
I mean, it's only right.
Well, you're also not allowed
to have sex during it.
Oh, that's good.
During these 14 days.
You should definitely let your boyfriend know.
He'll be fine.
You know, I tried a detox.
I can only make it to day two.
Like, it's disgusting.
Y'all ain't got no discipline.
So if you guys see me during these 14 days, I might have a little bit of an attitude.
It also says your skin might get really oily during this detox.
It should get oily at one point as your body is detoxing.
I made it to, like, day three.
I was like, F that.
All I know is if you got a green discharge coming out of your vagina, you should let people know, Artie.
You might think that you've had sex with Usher.
It says here, I'm going to have headaches, dizziness, nausea, bad breath,
glazed eyes, and a heavily coated tongue.
And then it says, women may also expel a green, funny-smelling vaginal discharge.
Hey, man, whatever you got to do to prepare people for the worst,
I don't know what we about to hear
in this room.
But this sounds
pretty crazy.
I ain't never heard
of no detox causing
you to have
no vaginal discharge.
All right.
But have you ever
done a detox?
Me?
Yeah.
Yeah, I do them
all the time.
I did one as soon
as I came back
from vacation.
Your 14 days
of just coconut water
and supplements?
That's not healthy,
first of all.
Like, you got to
eat something. I didn't do detox like that. There's no solid, first of all. Like, you gotta eat something.
I didn't do a detox like that.
There's no solid foods
in this detox.
Oh, that's ridiculous.
This is a real detox.
I don't know what that is.
No, I did a detox.
It wasn't any solid foods,
but every day
it was a different drink
to give you your supplements.
Yeah, I do the ones
where you do a supplement,
a liquid for breakfast,
a protein shake,
protein shake for lunch.
You don't eat no snacks,
nothing in between.
Then at dinner,
you have meat and vegetables. But you have a certain amount of meat, so you have like four ounces of meat. Oh, no, no, no. I don't eat no snacks, nothing in between. And then at dinner, you have meat and vegetables.
But you have a certain amount of meat.
So you have like four ounces of meat.
Oh, no, no, no.
I don't think that's a detox.
And all the unlimited salads.
No, it's a juice detox cleanse where they take you.
It's like a true.
Yeah.
With the doctors that were up here that are doing this, they're detox now.
My skin look better than all y'all.
So I would listen to me.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I don't know what y'all talking about.
I think I'm in better shape than every single person in this room,
but hey, whatever.
You know what I mean?
I'm just saying.
I have great skin.
I don't have any skin problems either.
But anyway.
You like skin.
That's a problem.
That's a great problem.
I don't mind that problem.
You like skin too, brother.
No, I'm not.
Yes, you are.
I would refer to me as a honey brown.
Now, honey brown?
Honey brown is light.
Thank you very much.
You know what?
Black Eyed Peas will be joining us.
There you go.
Now, Black Eyed Peas, right?
You will be Will.i.am.
Right?
What's wrong with that?
That's your complexion because you're dog skinned.
Will.i.am is popping.
Angelique will be what?
You know what?
I'm not playing this game.
Don't play that game.
Apple.
Apple.
Apple.
No way.
Black Eyed Peas.
You taboo.
I'm taboo. You know what? I'm not messing with y'all. Black Eyed Peas. You taboo. I'm taboo.
You know what?
I'm not messing with y'all.
Black Eyed Peas will be joining us.
If we got front page news, what are we talking about?
Well, let's talk about Cory Booker.
We'll tell you what had him really angry.
And of course, it has to do with Donald Trump.
And then we'll discuss the new California.
All right.
All that and more.
Keep it locked.
It's going to be a fun morning.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Come on.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlam be a fun morning. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front page
news. Now, where do you want to start?
Cory Booker or the children are free?
Um, I mean, let's start with
Cory Booker. Now, Senator Cory Booker
was discussing
with the Homeland Security Secretary
Christian
Nielsen. She said that she didn't really hear Donald Trump say those words,
ish hole or ish house.
She doesn't remember what happened.
And, of course, Cory Booker was angered by her nonchalance
about the whole entire situation where Donald Trump talked about people
from African countries and Haitians as people who are from ish holes.
Here is what he had to say.
The commander-in-chief in an Oval Office meeting
referring to people from African countries and Haitians
with the most vile and vulgar language.
When ignorance and bigotry is allied with power,
it is a dangerous force in our country.
Your silence and your amnesia is complicity.
Hey, man.
She was saying that she's tired of the line of questioning.
She's been very patient and she wants to move forward. Martin Luther King Jr. Hey, man. She was saying that she's tired of the line of questioning. She's been very patient
and she wants to move forward.
As Martin Luther King Jr.
always says,
in the end,
we will not remember
the words of our enemies
but the silence of our friends.
Not saying that they are friends,
but when you don't speak up,
when you see something evil happening,
then you're picking
the side of evil.
So you're going to suffer
with the evil.
All right.
Now let's talk about
the 13 children
who were found emaciated
and shackled to the beds except for one of them who managed to escape.
And that's how they managed to contact authorities.
Well, according to reports, David and Louise Turpin projected an image of a picture-perfect family.
They had pictures of themselves with their 13 kids as they renewed their wedding vows, as they visited Disneyland together.
I guess the children were homeschooled, so that's why they never left and went anywhere.
And now they're being accused of holding their kids captive in Paris, California, in filthy conditions.
Now, apparently, when the kids would go out, they all would dress alike, according to the mother,
because it was just easier for them to keep up with the kids that way.
They were very protective of their children.
Now, they said child protective services had not been called to the home in the past.
Neither had a law enforcement.
There's no indication of sexual abuse as of now.
Six of the siblings are under 18,
and they have been living there in Paris, California, since 2014.
Neighbors said they knew a large family lived there.
The kids would come out sometimes to work on the lawn,
and then they would all go back in together.
They appeared very pale-skinned.
A lot of people thought the kids were just young because they were so
malnourished. They appeared to be a lot younger than they were
but the oldest was 29.
They said the parents were very standoffish but not in a mean
way.
I wonder why they didn't run
when they had to mow the lawn.
Because they were malnourished. They were hungry.
And go where?
But one girl ran. One girl got out and ran. run when they had to mow the lawn? You know, what made that? Because they was malnourished. They was hungry. And go where? You know how fatigued they would have gotten?
But one girl ran.
One girl got out, ran. And she probably said a prayer.
And that was her last little bit of scrimp God gave her to get her body there.
Also, it is like you might be scared if your parents raised you like that your whole life
and you don't know anything different.
And I wonder why she just decided that one time.
Like, this is the time I'm going to go.
I wonder what it was.
You know?
Prompted it.
But thank goodness.
Yeah, absolutely.
She did in California.
They're trying to create this new California,
kind of modeled after how West Virginia split from the rest of the state.
Now, what they want to do is take over most of current-day California,
including many rural counties,
and leave the coastal urban area to themselves
because they said the state is ungovernable.
They don't like the way the state is being run.
So now they want to split and be the new California.
You can do that?
You can have two Californias?
Like West Virginia did.
Yeah, but that was the 1800s.
I don't know.
That's what they're trying to do right now.
We'll see what happens.
That's going to happen.
All right.
And, you know, there's bad weather conditions, so I just want to point that out.
So if you're traveling, just be careful.
There's cold temperatures from Texas to Maine.
People are dealing with freezing, rain, sleet, snow, or a mix of both.
So that's from Mississippi, Kentucky, Vermont.
A lot of different places right now are dealing with severe weather.
Yeah, and in Jersey, it's school opening delays.
Yeah, yeah.
It's snowing in Atlanta, and so school districts, a lot of school districts in Atlanta aren't opening today.
Yeah, so give yourself a little extra time.
Like Charlamagne said, my kid's school got like a 90-minute delay.
So definitely call.
And if you've got to take a flight, call because you might see some delays.
All right?
And 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 bad night, horrible night, and you just want to vent.
Or maybe you just want to get things off your chest.
All right?
And you want to spread some positivity.
You can do that as well.
800-585-1051.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Let's go.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed.
Say it with your chest.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
So if you got something on your mind, let it out.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, what's up, Envy?
Hey, Trev. Hi, Trev. Hey. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up, Envy? Hey, Trav.
Hi, Trav.
Hey.
Hey.
How you been?
Good.
How about you, baby?
What's up, Charlamagne?
What up, sis?
What's happening?
What's happening?
Oh, crap.
It's you, Charlamagne.
I just found out about that.
Envy just told me about that.
I don't want her to work herself up, though, because she might have a heart attack.
I just read it to her.
Oh, that is hilarious. So, wait. Explain. Trav, explain. I need you to report on this. What, because she might have a heart attack. I just read it to her. Oh, that is hilarious.
So, wait, explain.
That's so hilarious.
Trav, explain.
I need you to report on this.
What's going on?
Oh, my goodness.
So, Class A is upset because Charlamagne and Jermaine Dupri was out here fat shaming people.
Why is it fat shaming?
I saw a lot of big girls get mad at that.
Did you?
Charlamagne, I'm not going to.
Even when I heard that interview, I was like, ooh, Jermaine Dupri is not playing with the big girls
this morning. I don't know why we
act like big people aren't big
people and that they should lose weight.
Why do we look at
something and see the reality of it
but act like we don't see it? She's saying that
people, just because you're big doesn't mean
you're unattractive. I didn't say she was unattractive.
The thing is, it's not
like y'all was up there saying that she needs to help
when you lose weight. It was like y'all was saying that big
girls can't pull a skinny man. No,
they said that that's not Usher's type.
They said Usher's not into that.
And I don't think there's nothing wrong with that.
If you're not into big girls, you're not into big girls. There's men that
are not into skinny women. And I even said
to Jermaine Dupri, how do we know Usher
don't like big girls? I said he brings them up on stage.
I didn't even call to talk about big girls in there.
That's not even what I'm upset about.
You don't like big girls.
You don't care about big girls.
You don't like big girls in there.
You like big guys.
I'm disgusted with PNB Rock.
That's who I'm disgusted with.
I saw that.
Yeah.
What happened with that?
PNB Rock is just another dirty, silly Germantown ball.
That's exactly what he is.
He's sitting out here peeing in a hotel room.
Yeah, they kicked him out.
So when he got kicked out, he urinated on the floor in the room and posted it.
He urinated on the floor.
He spit on the mirror.
And it's like, the people who kicked you out was like security guard or front desk.
The people that got to clean that up is like Jose and Maria that worked there as housekeeping.
Why they got to be Jose and Maria that work there as housekeepers. Why they gotta be
Jose and Maria?
Now, what if I...
Now, you getting at me
about talking about fat people.
Look how you talking
about Mexicans right now.
You stereotype...
You mad at me
for stereotyping fat people.
Jose and Maria ain't Mexicans.
Jose and Maria is definitely Mexicans.
He's trying to say
about Mexican housekeepers.
What are you talking about?
They can be Latino.
What do you mean?
No, Mexican.
Jose and Marie?
I know a bunch
of Puerto Rican Marie's.
Well, when I'm in California,
the Jose and Marie's
and most of the time
the house cleaners
are Mexican.
Sorry.
I'll get BK Club.
Have a good day.
He said BK Club.
Everybody be mad at people
for doing the same thing
they do.
We all stereotype, okay?
But he does have a point.
It is not the security
that's going to clean that up. It's the actual house cleaners. Get it off your chest? But he does have a point. It is not the security that's going to clean that up.
It's the actual house.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent.
Hit us up now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Get it.
Pick up the mother, mother phone and dial.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed.
Say it with your chest.
We want to hear from you on the breakfast
club so you better have the same energy yeah hello who's this um there's some guy from the bronx
i some guy from the bronx why are you calling me talk to us yo because i've been getting to
the bag lately but i've been taking a couple hours and you know i got a girl and she's not
really helping out like that so i don't know what to do.
What do you do?
I do whatever it takes, you know?
Anything from hustling, scamming.
So you want your girl to help you scam or something?
Nah, I just, I don't know.
How old are you, sir?
I'm 25.
When are you going to stop scamming now?
Enough's enough.
You want to go to jail?
Like, you don't want to scam.
When are you going to stop saying,
get into the bag? But I've made a lot of money over the enough. You want to go to jail? Like, you don't want to scam. You can't live with scammers. When y'all going to stop saying, get into the bag?
I've made a lot of money over the years.
You know what I mean? But you know, when you make it illegally,
they usually take it right back, bro. Yeah, you're going
to jail. Why do y'all keep saying
y'all get into the bag when in actuality
y'all don't have the kind of money that would fit
into a big old bag? You know what kind of bag
they talking about when they say get into the bag? You know the big
bags they got at the bank? Yeah.
Obviously, this gasoline's not working out for you because
you don't have anything and you need your girl to hold you
down. It would just be nice if
I could depend on her. It would just be nice
if she would do illegal things with me.
When I go to jail, I want her to go to jail too
because I don't want her to be out here having sex with other men.
Yeah, stop doing illegal stuff, man. Alright, you did
it. It's over. Use that money. Invest in something
positive. You don't want to go to jail for scamming.
At some point, you got to get ready for your real
future. And what are you going to do? You're still young.
You can still get it together. Sometimes you got to take
some steps backwards financially
so that later on you can thrive and flourish.
You don't want to get raped in the butt in jail,
bro. Maybe he's meant
to be property of the state. Go make the white man
some money. You know what I mean? Go work
in one of these private prisons for the next 10 years.
I hear you. I hear you. You ain't got to hear me. Get your hustle on legally. Hello, who I mean? Go work in one of these private prisons for the next 10 years. God, I hear you. I hear you.
You ain't got to hear me. Get your hustle on legally.
Hello, who's this? This is Destiny
from Fort South Carolina.
Hey, Destiny. Get it off your chest, mama.
I'm pissed because my ex who abused me
for four years, who abused me
while I was pregnant with our daughter,
is still finding ways to manipulate my life.
But I'm blessed because I made it out
of that situation. Absolutely.
Did you get a restraining order against him? No.
Is he still bothering you? Yeah.
You definitely should get a restraining order against him.
Do you have full custody of your child? No.
We're still fighting to get a divorce.
We should definitely get a restraining order
and definitely be very, very
careful, it seems like it. But you should definitely
go to the police station and make sure you're safe.
You ain't got no men in your life that can beat them up?
No brothers, no uncles?
Oh yeah, I got plenty, but I'm trying not to go
that route. Nah, sometimes you gotta go
that route, man. Just put the hands on them one time.
I don't want to get his uncle, though. That's the thing.
You don't want to get other people in your
life arrested for anything stupid like that.
Michelle Obama said,
you know, when they go low, we go
high, but sometimes you gotta take it to the floor right with them.
Ain't nothing wrong with a little self-defense.
It would be a shame if somebody else got arrested for something and went to jail.
She would feel even worse.
It would be a shame if he bust you upside your head and kill you.
But I think the main thing here is that what you need to do is make sure that instead of feeling like, well, that's the father of my child.
I don't want anything bad to happen to him.
You got to go to the police and make sure you document all of these things that are
happening and potentially get him arrested if that's necessary.
But don't hesitate to get the police involved because it's your safety and the safety of
your child.
And maybe moving with a family member till things calm down a little bit.
I would say go get a carrying license.
Don't be by yourself.
There's no carrying license in South Carolina.
Why is there no carrying license in South Carolina?
That's the only state
I can't carry in.
I thought it was New York.
New York?
I got my New York now.
South Carolina?
I've been carrying
a South Carolina
my whole life.
Really?
Legally?
I don't know.
I'm just telling you
that I've been carrying
a South Carolina
my whole goddamn life.
Really?
I've been getting
no carrying license.
I know plenty of people
walking around with pistols
in South Carolina.
Legally though.
I got legal people in South Carolina.
Alright, you guys, it's not about y'all.
It's about her. Alright, well, we got rumors
on the way, Yee? Yes, let's talk about
Aziz Ansari. Now, a woman
has, an anonymous woman has accused
him of sexual assault, and now
people are coming to his defense, and they're
saying this is not good for the hashtag
MeToo movement. Duh.
Alright. It took y'all this long to realize that?
All that and more.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
I want to say good morning to Quantasia Sharpton this morning.
That's her name?
Quantasia.
Quantasia?
Good morning, Quantasia Sharpton.
What's her name?
Quantasia.
Quantasia.
Good morning.
Drop on the clues bombs for Quantasia Sharpton.
She's mad at you.
If you don't want to be referred to as fat girl, lose some weight.
God bless you.
Praying for you.
Okay.
That's positive, I guess.
All right.
Well, let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Kendrick.
It's about time.
What's going on?
Rumor report.
Rumor report.
This is the rumor report.
Talk to him.
With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, it's a good time for Kendrick Lamar.
His publishing deal expires.
And right now they're saying that he has offers between $20 and $40 million.
The deal's too low.
To do a new publishing deal.
That's too low for Kendrick Lamar.
Up that.
So the value depends on the terms of the deal.
They're saying one bidder has offered $28 million.
Another one is $23 million.
And that includes $11 million upon
signing. Kendrick Lamar's pin is worth way more
than that. Can you explain to the people, and I hate
saying this, but I know somebody's like, what the hell is a publishing deal?
Well, you could structure a publishing deal
any way you want. It could be just a percentage of your catalog.
It could be that you
sign over your rights for a certain amount of years
and they collect money from royalties from that, from publishing. It's like they give you upfront money. It's a that you sign over your rights for a certain amount of years and they collect money from royalties
from that, from publishing. It's like they give you
upfront money to collect on your money.
So if your record get played
on the radio so many times, you get a percentage
every time. You get it in a movie, anything.
So you don't have to go collect that. A publishing
company collects that and they pay you upfront for the
money that they are going to collect. All I know is
Kendrick Lamar pin is worth more than that.
But you don't know what his deal is like.
You don't know if it's only
10% of the money
that they collect.
Oh, how many songs?
Because it could be
a certain amount of songs.
Yeah, it could be his whole catalog.
It could be a certain amount of songs.
It's however he structures it.
Yeah, when I did mine,
it was a certain amount of songs.
How many times it's played,
a certain, yeah,
you could do it
structurally.
Start with $100 million
for Kendrick Lamar,
God damn it.
NBA numbers.
Well, maybe he doesn't want
to give up that much
of his catalog.
Maybe he only wants
to do a certain percentage.
And that's why he's
getting that amount.
We don't know what the deal is.
So there you have it, though.
That's still a great amount of money.
So shout out to Kendrick Lamar.
All right.
Angela Rye, congratulations to her.
She's going to be hosting a news program on BET and not just hosting it,
but executive producing as well.
She's going to be talking about the lies and stories that affect members of
black America.
She said,
working with BET always provides a reminder of why I began to do this work.
It's essential that we have platforms where we can discuss our politics,
our challenges, and our culture through our respective lenses.
Dropping a clues bomb for my sister, Angela Rye.
She's working.
So that first episode will be on Wednesday, January 30th.
Angela Rye, State of the Union.
Yes, because our celebrity and chief, Dope 45, his State of the Union is that night.
So she comes on right after him.
All right.
Now, Ashley Banfield is coming to the defense of Aziz Ansari.
That is after there was an anonymous account published on Babe.net where a Brooklyn photographer says that she was sexually assaulted, basically, by Aziz Ansari.
She says that she indicated she wasn't interested in having sex
with non-verbal cues. She said most of my discomfort was expressing me pulling away and
mumbling. I know I was physically giving off cues that I wasn't interested. I don't think that was
noticed at all. If it was, it was ignored. She also says that he chased her around his apartment
and she said it was really repetitive and he responded. He said it was true. Everything did
seem okay to me.
So when I heard that it was not the case for her, I was surprised and concerned.
I took her words to heart and responded privately after taking the time to process what she had said.
I continue to support the movement that is happening in our culture.
Now, here is what Headline News host Ashley Banfield had to say.
What you have done, in my opinion, is appalling.
You went to the press with the story of a bad date,
and you have potentially destroyed this man's career over it,
right after he received an award for which he was worthy.
You have chiseled away at a movement that I, along with all of my sisters in the workplace,
have been dreaming of for decades.
A movement that has finally changed an oversexed professional environment that I, too, have struggled through at times over the last
30 years in broadcasting. Well, I'm glad that people are able to see the nuance
between actual situations that are, you know, fueling
the Me Too and Time's Up movement in isolated incidents like this.
Because it sounds to me like, you know, it was just a bad date. Aziz gave her some trash-ass head.
He was terrible in bed, and she wasn't feeling it.
Well, they didn't even have sex.
And at any point she could have left.
They had oral sex.
Yeah, it wasn't.
And it wasn't intercourse.
Trash ass.
I had to turn a girl off now.
Am I right?
I had to learn to eat vagina properly, my damn self.
All right.
So, yeah, there was a long account that she told she is anonymous.
So it might affect Aziz Ansari in a negative way,
and you have to be more responsible.
You never wanted a guy to leave because he gave you trash head?
No, because I don't think I'd be in that situation
unless it was somebody I was like...
You can still like him, and he's still got whack head?
I never want him to leave for it.
Oh, you teach him.
Yeah, you can always teach a guy the proper way to do it.
Got you, got you, got you.
Young lady didn't want to teach his Z's.
Alright, well I'm Angela Yee
and that is your Rumor Report. Alright.
When we come back, Black Eyed Peas
will be in the building. We'll kick it with Black Eyed Peas. Don't move.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy
Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
the Breakfast Club. We got some special guests
in the building. That's right. Our guys are back.
Peace. Yes, indeed.
We got to start off, Envy.
We got to thank Will.i.am first.
Oh, yes, indeed. Will.i.am, we were
trying to raise some money.
Not trying. We were raising money.
We were raising some money. Change for change.
Will.i.am was in Africa at the time
and called and donated at first
$50,000, right?
$25,000.
And then called back and said that wasn't enough.
Yes.
And then came back and donated more.
And we're so appreciative for that.
Thank you very much.
You were the star.
That actually made us feel like we're going to actually make this happen
because this was our first ever telethon, radio-thon.
And it set the tone because rappers have egos.
Will donated $50,000.
So once we told Diddy that and told Khaled that,
everybody wanted to outdo you.
Khaled said $51,000.
He did.
He did.
That's crazy.
And then everybody went over that.
But we definitely appreciate it because you were that spark.
And we're thankful and grateful for that.
Just to see people coming together that are, you know,
social activists out there in the world, you know,
philanthropists out there in the world, philanthropists out there in the world,
just folks eager to pitch in and play their part.
It was fresh.
And you guys are philanthropists also,
so it's good that you can understand the importance of donating time,
donating money just to get the movement going.
Yeah, I was a product of philanthropy work.
I was sponsored from the Philippines and brought to the U.S. and became a black
IP, so it's really important
for us to give back because I was given that
opportunity, so we got to do the same
thing. All that philanthropy work and they
won't even let you in the club with Chanel West Coast,
man. Wow!
Hey, that's messed up.
I was
guilty by association.
Your name is going to shut up. Your name. I was already in and she You were there. You should have dropped your name.
I was already in.
You saw me.
So did you get in that night?
Yes, I did.
Why were you with Chanel West Coast?
She about to be the new Fergie?
Y'all going to put her in the Black Eyed Peas?
No, no, no.
We just arrived at the same time.
And, you know, I know her.
And I guess we were friends that night.
We were really tight that night.
Oh, so y'all wasn't really together together.
She was just name dropping.
Yeah.
Now, she's the homie, though.
We've known her.
We hung out.
But we didn't, like, roll up at that moment.
That's the worst.
You get to a party, then you see somebody else.
And you be like, oh, now we all together.
So did you still go in the club?
Yeah.
I still research.
I call it researching.
You know, you got to. I call it researching.
You know, you got to know what's out there.
So hold on, that night you didn't say, yo, she with me?
You just went in, left her out there?
They didn't come together.
Yeah, we didn't come together.
Yeah.
I just plead the fifth, son.
Now y'all put out the record Street Livin' with the video.
Oh man, I love that record.
The dope tune.
And I read the article on Variety where it says y'all trading party songs for music with a purpose what made y'all
go in that direction just you know when we did like um the end we were really like our antennas
were up and we were you know just tuned in to what was going on you know obama just had got elected and there was a sense of like you know a desire to go out
and so that was like the temperature then and and then when we did where's the love you know
in 2004 we had wrote that song straight right after immediately after 9-11 so you know our
antenna is always up just you know you know, sensing the vibes out there.
And so right now, street living is really what I feel the world, especially here in the States, it's feeling.
And, you know, it's on our conscience.
It just so happens that not many artists are speaking on it, but the athletes are standing up on it. So we're just playing our part, having our antenna up and being aware of the vibrations.
And we've been on a hiatus for eight years.
So all the individual work that we've been doing, philanthropic endeavors, whether it
was Will doing work in Boyle Heights with the STEM program, Apple doing work in the
Philippines, me going to Standing Rock and actually being part of the whole indigenous movement and trying to do
my part it just was preparing
us for this ultimate fight
that we're embarking on now with Black
IP standing up and actually having a
social message that goes
throughout the world
I love it because I never understand why artists
get money, sell records
and then rap about the same
stuff they've been doing.
Like, when it's time to make a stand,
why can't you make a stand?
Like, you don't have nothing else to prove.
You don't need the money.
Yeah.
You know, we've reached levels
that we never thought we would get to.
But the thing that jumped it all off is,
you know, that gave us our initial successes
when we talked about things that were going on.
Words of love.
We weren't trying to make a hit. It wasn't like,. Words of Love, we weren't trying to make a hit.
It wasn't like, yo, man, you know, we need to make a hit.
And we've taken that scientific approach on making songs.
Like, yo, we went in purposely to make a hit.
And songs that were the result of that were like Ordinary People.
That was like purposely trying to make a hit.
But Words of Love was not that. That was like, yo to make a hit um but words love was not
that that was like yo let's talk about what's going on and this is what street living is and
we wanted to make a video that reflected that so doing the research on the type of vibe that we
we want to um you know have to support the song so we went to like old miles davis and coltrane
you know blue Blue Note footage,
and you started going through all the revolutionist pictures,
whether it's in the past or today,
because same fights that we fight today,
our uncles and fathers and grandfathers
fought the same fights.
Yeah, and it was important for us
to really touch on issues that are happening now
and in the past, like immigration reform,
the whole DACA, DREAMers. Prison industrialers in the industrial complex exactly just using our platform in our
voice to actually heighten those those things and bring that to the masses and
bring awareness are y'all approaching the whole album the same way I mean this
vibe yes yeah that's the whole vibe for the whole jump is the label mad like
look man no we have we've had like i mean i remember going into the
record company and playing a lot of the music for this uh to support masters of the sun and there's
been times where they're like actually two times we need the massive black eyed peas global hits
i got a feeling you know something so massive i'm, but we've done that for y'all.
And yeah, we can put on our scientist hat and we can go in and do that.
But that's not what we want to do right now.
Is there a way to do that, though?
Is there a way to put the medicine in the candy and still get the fist pump record, but still, you know?
No.
It's not, right?
I mean, yeah, but you're missing a lot of emotions of people like that's contrived or I could feel that was an attempt to sell and benefit off of the things that you are talking about.
And, you know.
But what about something like where is the love that didn't feel contrived?
So where's the love?
Like I said, we wasn't trying to do a hit.
That was like an accidental hit.
You didn't just happen that way.
It just so happened that way it
just so happened that 9-11 just had happened and it was fresh on our conscious and you know and we
had justin timberlake on it before just right right when justin timberlake left in sync he had
just put out his solo project and you know the stars aligned but here you know i don't know you can't
do the same trick here right now it's like you're competing with everyone's bubble everyone's feed
and that same trick you didn't have everybody addicted to their phones in 2003 right so you
just got to hit them with honesty you can't not. Not that Words of Love wasn't honest. It was.
But going in to sell records, whatever that means nowadays when it's just about playlists.
Right now, we're just trying to do art and heart.
All right, we got more with the Black Eyed Peas.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club
we have black eyed peas in the building charlamagne you know on streets living you know it's funny
because i haven't had a chance to research this shit but you said 10 years no bail the equivalent
of four years and yeah what's that mean you mean financially or the amount of money it costs to
to house feed all the security guards and all the
folks that are in prison for like 10 years is roughly around the same amount of money it goes
takes to go to yale wow so what would proper prison reform look like to you guys so proper
prison reform first is like petty crimes people in there for, hold up, we from California. There's folks that are serving a lifetime sentence for selling marijuana.
And marijuana is legal in California now.
Right.
Correct.
So let's start with that one first.
Right.
Second, you have this system that's put in place to like, the three strike thing really
just tripled, you know, the amount of people that are in and out of prison.
And and then secondly, I mean, third, you have, you know, teachers that get paid less than wardens and security security in the prison.
The correction office. So, yeah, the probation system where people are probation
for like five years
and something really small
can actually land you
right back in jail.
Like popping a wheelie.
Yeah, so that kind of stuff
is, you know,
it just seems like
it's like prey
targeting its business.
So when you think of
when you think of prisons
and just think of
another business,
different type of housing.
These folks that are in prison
that are serving time for things
that they should, you know, really be,
you know, rehabilitated for.
So, like, mental health is the same thing.
People aren't really being treated for mental health, right?
They're just being medicated.
And, you know, the system,
that's what we meant by, you know, F the system.
We're not like saying F the system as far as on some like, you know, ignorant rebellious rebelling just for the sake of rebelling.
It's like F the system because the system is flawed and people's lives are being taken from them.
Especially when back to the marijuana point, you know, how can you justify
legalizing marijuana when folks are serving life, when they should reverse that sentence?
That's interesting you brought that up because I was going to ask you about that. You say you can
get f***ed by the system or say f*** the system. Like what's the most effective way to say f*** the
system? Because I feel like we're all saying f*** the system. But what comes of that?
Take the word F out and say change the system.
But when we say F the system, it's just like a more potent way of saying try our best to change the system.
Like, when it comes to zoning.
Like, in the hood, it's okay to have a liquor store next to a check cashing, next to a motel, next to a freaking, you know, a strip club down the street from the school.
Like that configuration just set up for failure.
When I was a business guy and I wanted to create like a strip mall in Beverly Hills or Brentwood,
I couldn't have that configuration there because it ain't zoned properly.
Right?
It's zoned properly where you cannot have that configuration in Brentwood, motel, liquor store, check cashing.
Check cashing, you ain't going to have no check cashing in Brentwood because people are financially literate.
So that system that we have in our hood where we're obese, diabetic, being fed poison, liquor stores, check cash in place, because when we get checks, we cash checks. We have no freaking like savings or bank accounts to be able to grow money.
And then there's the education system is kind of really screwed because the kids getting
paid five thousand dollars a year for the education resorting to selling illegal products.
Now, a lot of those now one of those products is now legal and folks are serving a lifetime
sentence for it now that sounds like a effed up system that i say we try to change
and also it was important for us to do a call to action at the end of the video um because we can't
just put out you know a song in a video without something that people could gravitate to and
actually try to do their part as well um Because we wanted everybody to come and understand that this is a bigger issue than just us doing music or just art.
It's like it's really happening.
I mean, Colin Kaepernick stood up for it.
You know, Bennett stood up for it or took a knee for it.
And we're just addressing that.
And I wish more artists would stand up and do that as well.
What do you think about some of those other artists that are doing music and they're pushing drugs and pushing violence?
And, you know, that now that you guys are totally turned around and pushing other messages.
Because we've always been about our community. Right.
And that's not of recent. So ever since Black Eyed Peas have gotten some inch of success, we've done things like toy drives or going to orphanages because we see the similarities between folks that are without, that our best friend has, that Apple's gone through, as well as myself and the projects.
But not everybody, if you don't feel that, you don't feel that.
If that's not what you want to do, that's not what you want to do.
But all I know is
this is the path that we
chose to take and inspiring
folks to wake up.
But if you want to stay asleep, that's cool.
That's why we make ourselves the
balance. Because we still enjoy that
but making this record
we just couldn't allow ourselves to make another party song. So it's because we still enjoy that. But, you know, making this record, we just couldn't allow ourselves to
make another party song. So it's
like we're the balance
of, you know, music
and our genre.
I want to say it's difficult to do, but then I think
of somebody like Pop, you know,
who was able to do both.
Maybe it's just not in everybody to do it.
It's been made so easy to
get on that easy is the way you make money.
I like the metaphor you used about the bar.
Yeah, the bar is actually, I read it on Pete Rock's thread.
The sentence was, the bar used to be so high that I used to jump to touch it.
Now it's so low that I can't limbo under it.
And that is true, too, if you compare the talent that a John Coltrane
and a Miles Davis had or Quincy Jones,
the talent that he had to be able to enter in the world of music.
And the bar has been set low, which is poetic in its own sense,
to allow everybody to get through.
I understand that one.
That's cool.
To where it's like, hey, it was too
much of a
of an obstacle for folks to really get through
in the past. All the things that you had to do
and it's been, you know, democratized
to where it's so low.
That's beautiful in a sense.
Is it? In a sense that everybody
has a shot. Yeah. But as far
as how we bastardized
it, smudge and, like,
pull and drag our women through the
mud, that's the part that
just really f***s with me.
We've been doing that since our era, though.
That's been going on since the 90s. That's cool, great.
Still f***s with me then? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How long has been that still f***s with me?
Like, that's my mom, bro.
Like, that's gonna be somebody's
mom. And it's something you could always be aware of and try to improve on. Yeah, that's somebody's, that's going to be somebody's mom.
And it's something you could always be aware of and try to improve on.
Yeah, of course.
But Bitches Ain't Shitting, Beholding Tricks was a hard record, though.
I mean, come on.
It was.
I can't deny that one.
It was, though. It was.
It was.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look, to each his own.
That's what I mean.
If that's what you gravitate towards, that's what you gravitate towards.
But know the repercussions of that.
That's a fact.
Right?
So, it could be hard. You could what you gravitate towards. But know the repercussions of that. That's a fact. Right? So it could be hard.
You can like it all you want.
You can like freaking tons of sugar all you want.
Just know that it's going to cause heart problems later.
All right, well, let's get into the joint right now.
We've been talking about it.
It's called Street Livin'.
It's the Black Eyed Peas.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
We have Black Eyed Peas in the building.
Yee.
I know you guys talk about DACA.
And I had the privilege of meeting some people who are going to be affected, you know, in
case DACA does not go through for the Dreamers that are here.
And like I was watching a man who's been in this country from Mexico for 30 years that
is about to be deported or meeting somebody who actually couldn't even register to go to school or do any of the things that,
and she's been living in this country since she was four years old and got into Harvard and couldn't go there because her mom wasn't registered.
But why are they about to be deported?
Just because of some, you know, Donald Trump has his own issues with people from certain places.
He wants more people here from Norway, but he wants to send people of color away.
Right. That affects a lot of it.
So the school that I started in the ghetto that I'm from, the I Am Angel program,
college track, a lot of my kids are dreamers.
And when we have our get-togethers, we're going to have another one towards the end of January.
Their biggest concern is, are we going to have to go back to Mexico?
Not even back to Mexico, to Mexico, because I wasn't born in Mexico.
You know, they were born in Mexico,
but they hadn't been in Mexico since they were one or two or three,
to your point.
And, you know, it's something that we're concerned.
It hits my heart because I've known these kids and been supporting these kids ever since they were 12.
Now they're about to graduate.
They went from having 1.2s or 4.0s, 3.5s, and performing better than a lot of folks that are citizens.
So how are you going to kick out, you know, success?
You know, it's just disheartening.
I feel like Donald Trump has put it in people's heads that these people are here illegally and they're doing things to rob people.
They're criminals and they're not productive members of society.
And that's not true.
For me, as being of Mexican and Native American descent, it's personal because even though both my parents were born here in the united states you know we still have family members that from from our past from our descendants that came from mexico and had
a uh came to america and had an opportunity to have to live out the american dream at being one
of those people that came from the philippines came to the u.s and lived out a dream and now
he's able to go back to the ph and actually provide opportunities for the kids to have education, to learn computer skills.
And those are the type of things that the stories to change the narrative of the misconception about dreamers and people that actually just want to make a difference.
Are you a citizen there?
Yeah.
It took him a long time, though.
Like we was on tour and stuff.
We couldn't get into certain countries
because he had a green card.
I didn't remember the time when he
became a citizen.
I go to the left.
When he became a citizen, we had a party on tour.
Yeah, it was dope.
So basically, you were Chanel West Coast in those situations.
Wow.
But Chanel is expensive and it is time consuming.
She came around where I was.
And we were like, let's go.
She was already across the street, so I couldn't grab her.
Now, why do you think athletes are more vocal than musicians?
I think it's 1950.
Right now, the music is like wah-bah, balloon bop,
tutti-frutti, Twister Shout,
and then you have your Muhammad Ali's.
The 60s ain't happened yet.
It's 1950 right now.
We just finished the war.
People are celebrating.
The war was really Iraq and Bush years
and Obama years with celebration
and the artists, right artists they're making money
twisting shouting.
But some artists aren't vocal but
maybe some of those songs aren't getting the support
I love Kendrick, I love
J. Cole, you know
Rhapsody
Chance
I can't say that artists
aren't. Some aren't, some aren't.
When I say that I aren't. Some are and some aren't. When I say that, I'm talking about
money made.
I'm talking about dominant.
Right?
A flood's a flood.
Right now we have a couple of
holes in the dam
and water spewing out.
And then you have the dam broken.
And it's a flood of consciousness, and everybody's on the same page, and our communities are improving.
You know, that's where I really like your radiothon.
That was, you know, sparked me up, like, oh, shit, here it come.
We about to do it, right?
It just felt urgent.
It felt like, you know, something that could continue, something that we all could pay a part in
because that's the only thing I feel that's missing with us as a whole
is how do we continue to contribute all the time.
Yeah.
It is all or nothing because making a record,
we're so motivated and enthusiastic about it,
and we were like, yo, even if we sell 10 motivated, enthusiastic about it.
And we were like, yo, even if we sell 10 records, it'll be all right. Because we did this, you know, we're proud of this body of work.
Right.
And that we would like to put out there with a message.
And that's, you know, that's the all.
And having an effective approach on how you use your platform and your voice.
Because you guys have an ultimate platform
and voice here. People are listening to you. Millions
of listeners. People that are watching you guys
and inspired by you.
And when you have that tool
to be able to speak to millions of people,
it's like, you know, if you spark an inspiration
or motivation to give people
that, like, whoa, I want to join this
fight. You know what's awesome too?
My brother's here with me. He travels with me now so we were coming we were
driving my older brother we were driving down New York and he was like oh Willie
that's that's a Madison Square Garden slow down the car let's take a picture
I just saw my big brother's excitement of like he's like that's a mecca for

And that's the reason why, like, my soul lit up with the car, you know.
Congrats on that source joint too.
Thank you.
Since the last time we were here, we were truly inspired

We've been wanting to build that and maybe even put it in our touring.
We're really inspired by you guys just being able to express ourselves and talk.
All right, well, we appreciate you guys

Thank you.
It's the Black Eyed Peas.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
And be joined by the group.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Mary J. Blige.
She's spilling the tea.
This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well, Mary J. Blige, as you know, it was her birthday last week.
She turned 47 on Thursday, and she was also honored that day
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She got a star. Now she spoke of course and as Mary J. Blige does it
she was very honest about the struggles that she had been going through. Her marital drama,
financial issues and so on and so forth. Here's what she had to say. There's been times that in
my career that I didn't even want to step out my house because I was hurt so bad. But all hell was
turning loose in 2016 and I had
to file and all of that stuff. I was homeless
last year.
Jimmy I-Fiend took me in
to his malleable home. Him and his
beautiful wife Liberty. And I will
never forget that.
How is the queen of hip-hop soul homeless
in 2016? Well she wasn't homeless
per se. She still has a home in New Jersey, but she was going through problems.
She just said she was homeless.
She was going through problems with her husband, and she couldn't go there.
But she has enough money.
She owned a home.
She wasn't broke.
I didn't say she was broke.
I'm just trying to figure out why she ain't got no place to stay.
I guess she felt like she didn't want to be there.
Right.
She couldn't go there because of those issues, and she just had no place to go.
What's wrong with the wing in Diddy House?
Kick French Montana out and let Mary sit there. Why she had to go stay What's wrong with the wing in Diddy House? Kick French Montana out
and let Mary sit there.
Why she had to go
stay with Jimmy Iovine?
Maybe too much partying.
Maybe she just wanted
some rest and relaxation.
Nice and calm
away from everybody.
You know what?
You're right.
And it's good that
you can have a friend
like Jimmy Iovine
whose house you can go to.
Don't drop on the clues bombs
from Mary J. Blige.
Mary J. Blige should be
protected at all costs
god damn it, okay?
That's a GoFundMe I'll get behind.
This next story is a difficult one to hear and to talk about.
But in court, the sex abuse victims are facing the gymnastics doctor, Larry Nassar.
His sentencing has started.
And it's a marathon of people who are giving statements.
Nearly 100 victims are giving statements.
Now, the first person who was up was Kyle Stevens,
and she talks about how the former gymnastics doctor
started molesting her when she was only six years old
and how when she told her parents they didn't believe her
and they chose to believe him over her.
Here's what she said.
You convinced my parents that I was a liar,
that you didn't strategically place lotion in the basement
so you could beat your penis in my face while I hid.
You convinced my parents that you didn't pull my feet into your lap, unzip your pants, and rub your erect penis against my bare skin.
You convinced my parents that you didn't stick your f*** in my adolescent vagina.
You used my body for six years for your own sexual gratification.
That is unforgivable.
Perhaps you have figured it out by now, but little girls don't stay little
forever. They grow into strong women that return to destroy your
world. Larry, are you really going to go through 100 of those? You really want 100 of those
testimonies? He doesn't have a choice. And there's hours and hours of people yesterday.
One woman spoke on behalf of her daughter. Donna Markham spoke
on behalf of her daughter, Chelsea Markham spoke on behalf of her daughter Chelsea
who committed suicide in 2009.
And that all started with a single visit to his office
when she was only 10 years old.
She said, every day I miss her.
And it all started with him.
It all started with him.
Why you say he don't have a choice though?
He got a choice.
His choice should be, I'm guilty, man.
I'm guilty.
I'm not fighting this no more.
He should get the death penalty.
He pleaded guilty
To ten different women
But now these other
Women have come forward
Some said they didn't realize
They had been assaulted
Until 2016
When he was arrested
For a massive collection
Of child pornography
And so that's when
Certain people realized it
That's disgusting
Because when you start
To touch a young age
People block it out
Oh my god
Deaf too easy though I understand what you're saying You say you want to kill him But deaf, people block it out. Death too easy, though.
I understand what you're saying.
You say you want to kill him, but death too easy.
Get him out of here.
Girls committed suicide.
You see what he did to a six-year-old?
Yeah, but you got to let him die slow, though.
You can't just kill him instantly.
You got to live a long, torturous life.
Wu-Tang torture tactics.
Then let him die after some years.
Oh, my goodness.
You got to torture him for a while. That's really difficult.
That's disgusting.
Alright, Kim Kardashian had her third
baby via the surrogate.
Now, according to sources, she was
there at the hospital when the surrogate was in labor
and when the baby was born, she was the first person
to have skin-to-skin contact
with the baby. So they just take the baby
from the surrogate and the surrogate
sees it no longer. Well, that's the plan. I guess just take the baby from the surrogate and the surrogate sees it no longer.
Well, that's the plan.
I guess you know what the situation is.
The baby was born
without complications.
The surrogate was able
to have some contact
with the baby
after the delivery,
but almost immediately
the baby was under the care
of Kim and Kanye.
So Kim lies down
in a gown too,
you know,
so the baby could be
chest to chest with her.
I don't know.
I'm just curious. I didn't.
I'm just curious.
They stay there together,
you know,
open the door. And the first person
you had skin to skin contact with,
she had skin to skin contact with,
was the mom.
That means they would have
to be in a robe
because, you know,
skin to skin contact
is the baby's naked.
Moms usually have no clothes on.
Listen, man,
I only got two, man.
You got five.
I don't know.
You know more than me.
That's what I'm just asking.
I don't have no surrogates.
Neither one of you
is a surrogate.
No, I don't have no surrogates. We pull it out and put it right on top than me. That's what I'm just asking. Not that one of you is a surrogate. No, I know surrogates.
We pull it out and put it right on top of you.
That's what I saw when I was there.
Well, you wasn't a thief.
Well, not that.
You know what I'm talking about.
That's what I saw when I was there.
Wait, wait.
Okay, that got so weird.
I saw mine come out and then they went to the hands of the mom.
Pull it out and put it right on top of her and Charlotte made sure.
I'm just saying, both my daughters came out, went into the hands of the mom.
That's what I saw.
All right, Amber Rose has gotten a breast reduction.
Now, she enlisted two doctors to reduce her 36H breast,
and she has been talking about this since last year,
saying that she wants to get her breast reduced,
but she was worried about scarring.
She was saying it's very heavy, her back hurts.
She can't wear cute little shirts without a grandma bra on,
but she went ahead and did it.
Amber Rose not pregnant yet?
21 Savage ain't shoot that club up yet?
I don't know.
There was a rumor about it, but I guess not.
Not if she's getting a breast reduction.
Oh, there was a rumor?
Yeah.
Oh, I didn't know that.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report.
All right.
Thank you, Miss Yee.
Shut up, man.
Yes, sir.
Who you giving that down?
Listen, man, we need PNB Rock to come to the front of the congregation.
We like to have a word with them.
Y'all know who PNB Rock is, right?
The rapper?
Yep.
I'd like to talk to the young man.
It's a teachable moment.
Okay.
All right, we'll get into that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
You get donkey of the day.
Yeah, you dumbass.
You get donkey of the day.
Yeah, you dumbass.
You are a donkey.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Donkey of the Day, huh?
I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes.
They want this man to throw them blows, man.
They wait for Charlamagne to tap them gloves.
Let's go.
They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the Donkey of the Day.
They chose you.
The Breakfast Club, bitches.
Who's Donkey of the Day today?
Yes, Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, January 17th goes to rapper PNB Rock.
Do you know who PNB Rock is?
Yes.
Okay, well, some people probably don't.
Every day we lit.
There you go.
Let me hear some of that record.
You probably know this record.
Let's hear it.
I came up from nothing.
You can't tell me.
Yes.
Did it on my own.
Took on my neck.
Check out my wrist.
I swore I ain't never expected it to be like this.
Okay.
I'm getting rich. I swore every day like this. Okay. I'm getting rich.
I swear every day we lit.
Hey.
Every day we lit.
Hey.
You can't tell me.
All right, all right, all right.
Knock it off.
Everybody at their age.
All right.
Okay.
Now, PNB Rock was kicked out of a hotel room for smoking weed.
Now, I am the type of person who totally understands the concept between right and wrong,
and one thing some people don't realize is that right is right even if no one is doing it.
Wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it.
We all know people who smoke weed in hotel rooms
when they're not supposed to, but there's ways
around it. You got a balcony in the hotel,
go in the balcony. Well, it's too cold for that,
Charlemagne. Okay, well, go in the bathroom,
turn the hot shower on, let the bathroom
steam up, put a towel under the bathroom door
and puff, puff, pass, nigga.
There's all kinds of ways around it.
But if they find out you were smoking in a hotel room,
you're going to get hit with that $250
or $500 fine. Some hotels, even
a little more, depending on how fancy the hotel is.
Now, if they find out you were smoking
in the hotel, you can and will get
asked to leave. You will get kicked out.
And if you understand the concept of right and wrong
like you should, then when you get
kicked out, you will be upset. But if you're a real person then when you get kicked out, you will be upset.
But if you're a real person, then you will understand the person you should be upset
with is yourself.
You're not at home.
You're at a hotel.
Hotel got rules.
Okay?
If you get caught smoking, especially weed, all right?
If not smoking, especially weed is one of the rules, and you decide to smoke weed, then
you have to deal with the consequences of your actions.
Once again, no matter how many times you do something wrong,
it doesn't make it right.
Now, if you get kicked out the hotel for smoking weed, right,
you should be saying to yourself,
damn, let me get out of here before they call the police,
or damn, I'm glad they didn't call the police.
Could have been the police knocking on your door telling you to leave.
All right?
Sometimes you just got to admit you was wrong.
All right?
You admit you was wrong.
They want you to leave.
Be out. But nope, not PNB wrong. They want you to leave. Be out.
But nope, not PNB Rock.
PNB Rock got caught smoking weed.
He got kicked out of the hotel.
And for some strange reason, he thought it was the hotel's fault.
PNB Rock was so upset that he decided to spit all over the bathroom mirror in the hotel,
pee on the floor of the hotel.
And of course, he recorded the whole thing and posted it on social media.
Let's hear some of this. That's what you do when they're kicking you out of the hotel. And of course, he recorded the whole thing and posted it on social media. Let's hear some of this.
That's what you do when they're kicking you out the hotel for
smelling weed.
Oh,
s***.
F*** you,
what's up?
Alright, I really want PNP Rock to think about this objectively, okay?
What are you mad at, PNP Rock?
PNP!
No, it's not. It's PNP.
All right, if you was at home and somebody who was staying with you for a limited time
did something in your house that you told them not to do,
and you told them if they did it, you would kick them out if they violated you,
what would you do? Huh?
What would you do if they did what you told them not to do anyway?
PNB Rock, listen to me.
If you told them not to do something in your house and they did it anyway, what would you do?
What would you do, Envy, if you told somebody not to do something in your house and they did it anyway?
I would let the dog go.
Okay, you took it to another level.
Angela, if somebody did something in your house that you told them not to do,
you told them not to do it, and if you said, if you do it, I'm going to kick you out,
what would you do if they did it anyway?
Kick them out and never let them come back in.
You would kick them out.
And that person you kicked out can't be mad at anyone but him or herself, period.
And if he got mad at you for kicking him out, you would think he's crazy.
And that's exactly what we think about you right now, PNP Rock.
Okay, you are free to smoke weed wherever you want.
Okay, you can smoke all the weed wherever you want,
but you are not free from the consequences of those choices of smoking weed.
All right, you smoke weed in the hotel, you get caught, they're going to ask you to leave.
I don't understand why you're mad at anyone but yourself.
You're going to spit on something, wait until you get in the car,
and it's going about 55, then roll the window down and spit out the window
so it comes back in your face. Alright? You want
to pee on something? Pee on yourself.
Let it trickle down your leg, young man. You are the
problem in this situation. Why can't you see that?
I can't even blame you for this
because I promise you, even when I was young,
I understood the consequences of my actions.
I knew what I was doing was
wrong. That's why we went out of our way to not get
caught. But nowadays it seems like they
don't understand the consequences of their actions
and they don't care about getting caught because they
recorded and posted on social media.
In fact, they do wrong like
PNB Rock did and then get mad at everyone
else like everyone else is the problem.
No, PNB Rock.
You're the problem. I don't understand
people who create their own storms and
then get upset when it rains. And I can't
stand rappers who pee on my head
and tell me it's raining.
And that's exactly what PNB Rock is doing
by acting like it's the hotel's fault
that he got kicked out.
Look, kids, listen to me, man.
This is your Uncle Charlotte talking,
and I need you to know
that everything happens for a reason.
But sometimes the reason is
that you're stupid and make bad decisions.
Please give PNB Rock the biggest hee-haw courtesy at Remy Ma.
Hee-haw, hee-haw.
You stupid mother f***er.
You dumb.
All right.
And you do realize he's going to get banned from that chain of hotels, right?
Absolutely.
Is he going to get charged for that rug?
Not to mention it's going to be very difficult for him to get a hotel room now, period.
Isn't he already banned from a bunch of clubs in New York City?
For reckless behavior?
Yeah, it's hard for him.
Why are you making your life difficult, PNB Rock? You do know this is how you make a living.
You do know when you gotta go do shows
in these other cities,
you're gonna need a place to stay, right?
Because he lit.
All right.
You don't care.
All right.
All right, PNB Rock.
Why do you keep calling him PNP?
PNP!
You know what?
It's a play on words.
I got it. He peed on the floor of the hotel. You get it, Amy? PNP Rock. That what? It's a play on words. I got it.
He peed on the floor of the hotel.
You get it, Amy?
P&P Rock.
That's his name from that one when you see him in these screens.
P&P Rock.
P&P.
That is really gross, though, for the people that have to actually clean the rooms who
didn't do anything wrong, who are not responsible for him getting kicked out.
It's not cool.
Or not even that.
Just imagine if he didn't put a video.
Nobody would know he peed.
And then imagine if you were staying in a video, nobody would know he peed. And then imagine if he was
staying in that room.
I would be so mad.
That's the thing
I don't get too.
It's like, okay,
you do something wrong,
then you do something else wrong,
but then you record yourself
doing what was wrong.
Why do y'all like
to incriminate yourself
all the time?
I don't get it.
All right.
Well, thank you for that,
Dawg.
Today, when we come back, ask Yee.
800-585-1051.
If you got a question for Yee, you can call her right now.
She'll help you out with all your problems, all your relationship situations.
So call her now.
800-585-1051.
Oh, you ain't going to play the PNB version?
No?
That's the breakfast club.
Come on.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now it's time for Ask Yee, 800-585-1051.
Hello, who's this?
You got your man, Jeff.
Jeff, what's your question for Yee?
I got the same girl situation possibly with one of my best friends.
Okay, so you and your best friend have been sleeping with the same girl?
Apparently, it seems to be.
It seems to be or yes?
Well, that would be a yes from what she's
speculating. Did you ask your best
friend? She said she's
pregnant by either one of us. So you
and your best friend, is this someone's girlfriend
or just like, was it
a threesome? What was happening?
Small city, small town.
Same girl.
And then me and my friend happened to be
married. So both you and your friend were cheating on your wives with a girl.
The girl's pregnant.
It could be either one of you.
Well, cheating, you mean we were vacating.
It's different.
So you weren't cheating.
You were vacating.
So your wives are aware of what you did.
Well, of course not.
That's why I'm talking to the doctor.
Okay, so you cheated.
You cheated.
No, it was like a hall pass.
You get that 24-hour period.
So your wife allowed you to go sleep with somebody else?
I give my own self a hall pass.
That's not a hall pass.
You can't give yourself a hall pass.
A hall pass is the teacher says, here's a pass.
You can go do what you got to do.
Your wife didn't give you a pass.
You cheated.
Just admit that you cheated, first of all.
We can't even go any further until you say you cheated.
Okay.
I'll give you 70-20 on that.
70-20 is 90.
All right, so the girl is pregnant.
She's telling y'all she don't know who the father.
Exactly.
Okay. So you're not going to know until she gets a test.
So what's the question?
Well, the small town wants word, get out.
I mean, and then my friend is, you know, on his way to being a pastor in the city.
So, I mean, what do we do about that?
Have a church, you know.
Well, you know, I guess your pastor friend
who cheated on his wife also is not perfect,
so he is going to have to own up to the mistakes
that he made like a man of God would do.
Listen, the fact of the matter is
you guys did something that there's repercussions to.
When you cheat and when you have unprotected sex with somebody,
the potential of her getting pregnant is there.
So you had to know what you were getting yourselves into.
You made a decision to do that, and
now you gotta live with those consequences,
whatever they are. But I do feel like, because
you live in a small town, make sure you get ahead
of this and have this conversation with your wife, because if she
hear about this from somebody else, it's gonna make
it even worse.
You're gonna skip town? You sound like a
coward. Oh, a coward?
Oh. Only a coward
would skip town and not confess what he did.
You already messed up enough.
I'll give a Facebook message. What about that?
You know what, sir? Do what you got to do.
This is what you want. You won't even admit what happened
and then you're saying you're going to send your
wife a Facebook message. I can't really give you much
advice. Well, not the wife.
Like, DM her by me.
I'm going to post it.
Don't you think that she would rather hear from you
before you post a public announcement on Facebook that you cheated?
The world needs to know that's the best thing to do now
and then let them know.
Should I put the Facebook out there?
No.
Talk to her directly.
I mean, but, you know, her daddy got a gun, so that's why I'm saying you got to do the Facebook out there. No. Talk to her directly. I mean, but, you know, her daddy got guns, so that's
why I'm saying you got to do the
Facebook. Her daddy got guns.
Okay.
See, this is how it works. We're from a
small town. We got shotgun, wet and
still, baby. My first
piece of advice to you is talk to her
and you all got to figure it out together or
apart, but you need to know what it's going to be.
You trying to get me jumped by the brothers.
And it ain't going to happen.
Yo, you know they're going to find.
Everybody's going to find out, right?
She got seven brothers.
But damn, Dr. E, I'm going to need you to tell her.
All right, I'll tell her.
Go ahead, call her.
You're calling now?
Yeah, call her now.
Wow.
What's the number?
Envy's going to call her.
Give him the number.
Yeah, I don't mind calling.
I mean, let's see if we can get on the line. What's the number? You wasn I mean, I don't mind calling her. I mean, she'll get on the line.
What's the number?
I mean, I don't...
You wasn't scared when you was all up in that.
Why you scared now?
I got the voice mail.
All right, sir.
I'm not a coward.
I was going to throw it out there.
See, I was going to give you the alley-oop.
You were going to do it.
Now I got to just do it on Facebook.
Okay, sir.
Go ahead on Facebook.
Send me the post, too.
I'd love to see it.
He want them likes so bad.
He rather them likes than a shout-out on the radio.
You know, and then for the likes and s***.
You know, yeah.
You got me, Charlamagne.
The likes is dead.
So, you know.
And I like, shout-out to Charlamagne.
I love when you say cracker as cracker.
Can I hear you say it?
I could tell you would.
I don't know if I want you on my side, sir.
I could tell he would like that.
You seem like that type of guy.
All right, sir.
I appreciate you.
I'll shout out to the Breakfast Club.
I love y'all.
Y'all keep rocking hard.
Okay, thank you.
You just made me appreciate my boyfriend even more.
Well, you need to get married, Dr. E.
Are you married?
You need to get married, Dr. E.
All right.
All right, bro.
I'll take your advice.
Peace.
All right, ASCII, 800-585-1051.
If you need relationship advice, you can call us now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
That was Kendrick Lamar with Love.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Shalami and the guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're in the middle of Ask E.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, this is Gladys.
Hey, Gladys.
What's your question for Yee?
My question is, what would she do if she had a child in school who another child told her she couldn't play with her because she's Spanish?
And it turns out that child's mother is a teacher in the school.
Whoa.
So clearly that child is learning that from at home.
Exactly my point.
But the school is trying to shut me up and brush it under the table.
So who did you go to when you spoke to the principal?
I spoke to the principal, the supervising principal,
as well as a counselor.
Okay, and how old is your daughter?
She's eight years old.
I mean, you have five kids.
Correct.
Imagine somebody told your kids they couldn't play with her
because she's Spanish.
No, I mean, I would go straight to the principal.
She did, she said.
You went to the principal?
I have.
And then what happened?
They're going to tell me it's just a small child
Argument and trying to leave it alone. They're trying to offer my daughter guidance counseling No, your daughter doesn't need counseling that the other kid needs counseling. Yeah, I think actually my point
Yeah, I would demand that I think they need to sit both of those kids and the parents in the room
Including that they cannot do that. Why can't they do that? Because they cannot mediate parents or contest for our reactions in the room.
My daughter asked for them to sit down in the room so she could confront everybody and tell them what they're saying
because they're basically telling my daughter she's lying.
The teacher said she didn't say that.
At age eight, we need to have a conversation.
Where do you live, Mom?
I'm from Methuen, Massachusetts.
Oh, Massachusetts. Okay, okay.
Here in New York and New Jersey, there's different districts, so you can go over the principal.
I think you might need to write a letter to the principal just so you have it on paper.
And then you need to go over that principal's head because it is foul.
And there's no way that you can say something that I believe is racist and the child's mother works at the school and they just brush it under the rug like it's okay.
Now, that's not okay to me.
And that's a teachable moment, I would think, for all the students in the entire school.
Exactly.
Like, how many other kids in the school
are going to be impacted by that teacher or that child?
Because the thing is that as a child at eight years old,
you don't really know what you're saying sometimes
and you're learning these things at home.
And that's a great time to teach kids
that that's a wrong thing to say, a wrong thing to do.
And I would say it's a teachable moment,
whether or not because you said they're denying that the
girl said it.
My daughter said that her teacher
asked her if her mom said that, and
the little girl told her teacher, yeah,
but they're telling me that they spoke
to everybody and everybody's denying the claim.
Well, let me ask you one other question. Do you have any friends that are
lawyers, attorneys? No, not really.
Well, then I don't know what your
financial situation is. You might need to go talk to an attorney and just have him draft a letter.
Because what I usually do, I have a couple of friends that are attorneys.
I would send an email and just CC my attorney.
And usually when somebody sees a CC of an attorney, they really fix up because they don't ever want to get sued, especially by me.
Because I'm quick to sue.
And that usually fixes it up.
So you might want to go seek an attorney because you don't want your child dealing with this'm quick to sue. But, and that usually fixes it up. So you might want to go
seek an attorney
because you don't want
your child dealing with this
through years to come,
you know?
And I would make sure
that you really talk
to your child about it too
because you want to make sure
this isn't something
that's going to impact
your child in a negative way.
Of course,
I've talked to her so much
but she's confused
as to why they're saying
basically she's lying
and they won't let her
sit down in front of the people
and confront them. Yeah, my wife wouldn't let And I would say this, if they won't let her sit down in front of the people and confront them.
And I would say this, if they won't let
her speak, you need to do it. And if that means
that you need to get a video, post that video,
submit it to local news,
whatever it is that you have to do just
to bring attention to this, I would definitely
call them out on it. Thank you.
I definitely will try that. What's the teacher's name?
I don't know the teacher's name
that the child's teacher's name.
They won't tell me her name.
They won't let me meet with her.
They won't let me speak to her.
They won't even give a reason as to why they think the child said what she said.
Really?
Let your daughter vent.
Let her speak about it.
I would make sure that I record that just in case I need that in the future,
in case something else happens.
But I would also make sure I try to bring attention to it,
and that means trying to bring some press to it
or whatever it is that you need to do.
Write an open letter.
Anything that you have to do to bring attention
so that they can feel the heat too and have to act on it.
Or if not, there's going to be some negative news about them.
Yeah, that's exactly what I feel.
They're trying to brush it under the table and keep me quiet about it.
Right. And we're not going to be quiet.
Nope. Not at all.
All right. Good luck. Thank you so we're not going to be quiet? Nope. Not at all. Alright, good luck.
Thank you so much. Good luck, Mama. Alright.
ASCII, 800-585-1051.
We got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes.
Find out whose home is being foreclosed on for over $500,000.
Also, find out who's
going to be representing himself in court for
child support. Alright, we'll get into all that when
we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

but he like, yes!
And from then, I get some money. I'm like, alright,

bro, bro.
You know what? Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk future.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The Rumor Report.
Gossip.
Gossip.
With Angela Yee.
It's the Rumor Report.
The Breakfast Club.
Well, future is going to be one of the producers for the Superfly movie remake.
Now, Jason Mitchell is also going to be playing in that movie.
Okay. He's the one that played Easy to be playing in that movie. Okay.
He's the one that played Easy.
He was just up here.
Yes.
He's also in The Chi, so you can see him on there right now.
He plays Brandon in The Chi.
Now, also, Director X, who's the music video director that we all know for directing videos for people like Kendrick, Drake.
He's going to be directing the Superfly remake.
Yeah, Little X.
I just hit X.
He goes by Director X now.
I just hit X a couple weeks ago and
asked X to do a movie.
Well, there he is. He's doing one.
Drop on the clues, Bombs for X.
Smite guy. That's a good look
for future too. I love to see people get
into that realm of creating that kind
of content for film and television.
That's dope. Well, more in the film world.
Pam Greer is going to be doing her own biopic.
Right now it's tentatively called Pam.
So that should be pretty exciting.
She used to date Richard Pryor.
And basically, I mean, she's had a very fascinating life.
You know her as Foxy Brown.
A lot of things.
She was like one of the first in those blaxploitation films.
Legend.
Yeah, legendary.
So it should be pretty interesting because I'm sure there's a lot of things about her that we don't know.
I'm dropping the clues, Bum, for Pam Gray, damn it.
Now, Max P also has his documentary, The Real Story, coming.
He has no release date yet, but he's put out another trailer.
And here's that trailer.
I come from a family of addictions and alcohol.
I never had the taste for it because I seen what it did to them.
I done been through it all.
We talk about making money,
coming from the streets.
I've always handed out money.
Ain't nobody handing me no money.
You gotta work for something.
I actually sold CDs at the trunk of my car.
I went from city to city.
People think you gold.
They don't realize that, guess what?
You just a man.
Put your faith in gold, not in man.
That's dope.
Can't wait to see that.
Now he's getting ready for his biopic as well.
I'm in that.
That'll be coming out in 2019, King of the South.
So getting ready for all of those things, right?
All right.
Now let's talk about Matt Damon.
He was recently on the Today Show, and he was talking about the Me Too movement
and basically how he should have just kept his mouth shut about certain things. He had said there's a spectrum of behavior previously
and there's a difference between patting someone on the butt and a rape or child molestation.
Well, here's what he's saying now. Well, I really wish I'd listened a lot more before I weighed in
on this. You know, I think ultimately what it is for me is that I don't want to further anybody's pain with anything that I do or say.
And so for that, I'm really sorry.
And like time's up.
I mean, a lot of those women are my dear friends and I love them and respect them and support what they're doing and want to be a part of that change and want to go along for the ride.
But I should get in the backseat and close my mouth for a while.
Well, that's the whole thing about the Me Too movement, right?
It's a cultural revolution, and one thing men need to do
is something that we haven't done historically,
which is just shut up and listen.
And don't get in the way.
All right, well, let's start right now.
And CL, by the way, is also being investigated for sexual battery.
Check it out.
To those of us who support the Me Too movement,
not one of the women who have been sexually abused
not one of the women who have come forward has received any real justice whatsoever losing your
job because you either a raped be sexually abused or even sexually harassed a woman is not real
punishment and hashtag real talk for a second, we all
know what would happen to any one of
those power abusers if they looked like me.
Alright, well ironically enough
now one of his neighbors is saying
Wait a minute, not too many people look like
Steele. Alright, first of all.
He's serious!
But one of his neighbors, actress Tracy
Birdsall, is saying back in the fall of
2016 they had a close friendship.
She went over to get a salad spinner back that she had lent him, and that's when he lunged at her.
Get a what?
Salad spinner.
Salad spinner.
Really?
Yeah.
Never heard of that one.
What sex store you buy that from?
I thought it was a tongue, a salad spinner, you know?
She said that Sale invited her to sit on the couch next to him. She was in shock and complied after he began to grope her breasts.
And she asked him to stop and said that she was wearing a tank top and shorts and that she was asking for it.
And so now she says that she just felt like she wanted to share her own story and she hasn't seen him since the incident.
I'm still shocked that Seal thinks there's men out there that look like him.
No, I'm bugging that he went so hard and he could have possibly been one of the people
that's actually doing it.
Right now, it's just an accusation.
Geez.
Yeah, no.
All right, Wyclef, he's had a home
that's been foreclosed on in Miami
and he owes nearly $500,000.
So he's been repeatedly asked to pay that money.
Apparently, back in 2008, he was sued
after it was revealed that he violated
some of his mortgage agreements.
Still hadn't paid, so now they're saying that he owes $350,000 in interest as well.
All right, and Stevie J is going to be representing himself in court.
He has been ordered to pay $1.3 million in restitution for skipping out on child support payments for two of his kids that happened last year.
Well, now he is ready to go ahead and support him and represent himself in court.
That's never good.
He's saying that ruling was too excessive and unfair,
and he's filed documents to be his own lawyer because his lawyer dipped out on him.
He doesn't think that Stevie J has a chance of winning.
Yeah, that's never good when you want to represent yourself.
And when your own lawyer is like, you're not going to win.
Usually that means you lose.
All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, win. Usually that means you lose. All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report.
All right.
Well, thank you, Ms. Yee.
Now, our People's Choice Mix is up next.

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