Whenever we walk in, they give us a list of whose birthday it is.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Michelle Obama. Mm-hmm. James Earl Jones. Mm-hmm. Jim Carrey. Muhammad Ali. Yeah, I'm just going to forget Ray J. Little John.
Starting point is 00:03:42 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.
Starting point is 00:03:51 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.
Starting point is 00:04:01 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.
Starting point is 00:04:15 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.
Starting point is 00:04:30 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.
Starting point is 00:04:53 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,
Starting point is 00:05:07 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.
Starting point is 00:05:15 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.
Starting point is 00:05:23 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.
Starting point is 00:05:41 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.
Starting point is 00:06:06 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
Starting point is 00:06:13 done a detox? Me? Yeah. Yeah, I do them all the time. I did one as soon as I came back from vacation.
Starting point is 00:06:18 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.
Starting point is 00:06:27 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
Starting point is 00:06:33 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,
Starting point is 00:06:43 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.
Starting point is 00:06:49 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.
Starting point is 00:07:04 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.
Starting point is 00:07:11 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?
Starting point is 00:07:24 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?
Starting point is 00:07:33 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.
Starting point is 00:07:41 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.
Starting point is 00:07:48 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.
Starting point is 00:08:00 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
Starting point is 00:08:09 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,
Starting point is 00:08:27 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
Starting point is 00:08:51 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.
Starting point is 00:09:07 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,
Starting point is 00:09:14 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
Starting point is 00:09:22 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,
Starting point is 00:09:58 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.
Starting point is 00:10:20 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.
Starting point is 00:10:38 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.
Starting point is 00:10:52 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.
Starting point is 00:11:04 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.
Starting point is 00:11:21 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.
Starting point is 00:11:34 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.
Starting point is 00:11:49 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.
Starting point is 00:12:09 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?
Starting point is 00:12:21 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.
Starting point is 00:12:34 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.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Hey. Hey. How you been? Good. How about you, baby? What's up, Charlamagne? What up, sis? What's happening?
Starting point is 00:12:53 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.
Starting point is 00:13:05 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?
Starting point is 00:13:18 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
Starting point is 00:13:33 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,
Starting point is 00:13:49 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.
Starting point is 00:14:06 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.
Starting point is 00:14:18 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.
Starting point is 00:14:36 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.
Starting point is 00:14:50 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
Starting point is 00:14:58 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.
Starting point is 00:15:05 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.
Starting point is 00:15:15 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.
Starting point is 00:15:25 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.
Starting point is 00:15:36 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
Starting point is 00:15:57 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?
Starting point is 00:16:18 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.
Starting point is 00:16:27 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.
Starting point is 00:16:43 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
Starting point is 00:17:00 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,
Starting point is 00:17:16 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.
Starting point is 00:17:31 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.
Starting point is 00:17:48 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.
Starting point is 00:18:04 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.
Starting point is 00:18:20 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.
Starting point is 00:18:42 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.
Starting point is 00:19:00 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?
Starting point is 00:19:10 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
Starting point is 00:19:16 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.
Starting point is 00:19:23 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
Starting point is 00:19:37 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.
Starting point is 00:19:49 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.
Starting point is 00:20:01 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.
Starting point is 00:20:11 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.
Starting point is 00:20:22 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.
Starting point is 00:20:41 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?
Starting point is 00:20:56 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
Starting point is 00:21:11 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
Starting point is 00:21:26 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.
Starting point is 00:21:32 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,
Starting point is 00:21:38 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
Starting point is 00:21:44 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,
Starting point is 00:21:57 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.
Starting point is 00:22:17 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.
Starting point is 00:22:42 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.
Starting point is 00:23:13 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.
Starting point is 00:23:41 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.
Starting point is 00:24:09 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.
Starting point is 00:24:19 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.
Starting point is 00:24:40 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.
Starting point is 00:24:56 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.
Starting point is 00:25:11 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.
Starting point is 00:25:27 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.
Starting point is 00:25:39 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.
Starting point is 00:25:52 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.
Starting point is 00:26:09 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
Starting point is 00:26:32 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.
Starting point is 00:26:48 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.
Starting point is 00:27:00 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.
Starting point is 00:27:10 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.
Starting point is 00:27:23 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.
Starting point is 00:27:37 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
Starting point is 00:28:14 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
Starting point is 00:29:01 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
Starting point is 00:29:20 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.
Starting point is 00:29:31 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.
Starting point is 00:29:49 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
Starting point is 00:30:22 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
Starting point is 00:30:41 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
Starting point is 00:31:19 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.
Starting point is 00:31:51 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
Starting point is 00:32:13 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.
Starting point is 00:32:56 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
Starting point is 00:33:16 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.
Starting point is 00:33:52 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
Starting point is 00:34:28 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.
Starting point is 00:34:40 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,
Starting point is 00:35:11 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.
Starting point is 00:35:41 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.
Starting point is 00:36:15 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.
Starting point is 00:37:10 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.
Starting point is 00:37:52 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.
Starting point is 00:38:41 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
Starting point is 00:38:59 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
Starting point is 00:39:15 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.
Starting point is 00:39:38 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.
Starting point is 00:40:03 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
Starting point is 00:40:19 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.
Starting point is 00:40:35 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.
Starting point is 00:40:51 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.
Starting point is 00:40:59 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.
Starting point is 00:41:13 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.
Starting point is 00:41:27 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?
Starting point is 00:41:58 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.
Starting point is 00:42:37 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?
Starting point is 00:43:11 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.
Starting point is 00:43:51 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
Starting point is 00:44:09 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.
Starting point is 00:44:28 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.
Starting point is 00:44:51 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
Starting point is 00:45:09 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
Starting point is 00:45:26 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.
Starting point is 00:45:42 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.
Starting point is 00:46:16 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.

Starting point is 00:48:31 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.
Starting point is 00:48:45 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,
Starting point is 00:49:15 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
Starting point is 00:49:38 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.
Starting point is 00:49:52 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
Starting point is 00:50:06 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.
Starting point is 00:50:14 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.
Starting point is 00:50:21 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.
Starting point is 00:50:42 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,
Starting point is 00:51:02 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
Starting point is 00:51:31 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.
Starting point is 00:51:53 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.
Starting point is 00:52:03 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
Starting point is 00:52:13 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
Starting point is 00:52:23 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.
Starting point is 00:52:33 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
Starting point is 00:52:50 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.
Starting point is 00:53:06 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,
Starting point is 00:53:15 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.
Starting point is 00:53:23 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,
Starting point is 00:53:32 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,
Starting point is 00:53:38 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.
Starting point is 00:53:45 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.
Starting point is 00:53:54 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,
Starting point is 00:54:15 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.
Starting point is 00:54:29 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.
Starting point is 00:54:38 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?
Starting point is 00:54:47 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.
Starting point is 00:54:54 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.
Starting point is 00:55:09 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.
Starting point is 00:55:27 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.
Starting point is 00:55:35 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.
Starting point is 00:55:44 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.
Starting point is 00:55:52 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
Starting point is 00:56:10 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.
Starting point is 00:56:25 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
Starting point is 00:56:41 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?
Starting point is 00:56:54 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,
Starting point is 00:57:15 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.
Starting point is 00:57:25 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.
Starting point is 00:57:46 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?
Starting point is 00:58:10 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.
Starting point is 00:58:29 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.
Starting point is 00:58:51 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.
Starting point is 00:59:16 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
Starting point is 00:59:33 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.
Starting point is 00:59:50 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
Starting point is 01:00:05 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.
Starting point is 01:00:19 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?
Starting point is 01:00:36 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
Starting point is 01:00:53 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?
Starting point is 01:01:00 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.
Starting point is 01:01:10 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.
Starting point is 01:01:25 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,
Starting point is 01:01:35 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,
Starting point is 01:01:44 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?
Starting point is 01:01:59 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?
Starting point is 01:02:10 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
Starting point is 01:02:28 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
Starting point is 01:02:43 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.
Starting point is 01:02:57 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.
Starting point is 01:03:10 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.
Starting point is 01:03:24 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?
Starting point is 01:03:38 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.
Starting point is 01:03:58 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
Starting point is 01:04:15 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.
Starting point is 01:04:32 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.
Starting point is 01:04:47 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.
Starting point is 01:05:03 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
Starting point is 01:05:19 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.
Starting point is 01:05:33 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.
Starting point is 01:05:42 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.
Starting point is 01:05:52 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.
Starting point is 01:06:03 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.
Starting point is 01:06:15 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.
Starting point is 01:06:28 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?
Starting point is 01:06:38 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.
Starting point is 01:06:49 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.
Starting point is 01:07:01 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.
Starting point is 01:07:21 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
Starting point is 01:07:36 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
Starting point is 01:07:55 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.
Starting point is 01:08:23 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.
Starting point is 01:08:47 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,
Starting point is 01:09:03 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
Starting point is 01:09:19 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.
Starting point is 01:09:44 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
Starting point is 01:09:51 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
Starting point is 01:09:59 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,
Starting point is 01:10:12 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.
Starting point is 01:10:26 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.
Starting point is 01:10:41 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.
Starting point is 01:10:58 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.

Starting point is 01:11:47 It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report.
Starting point is 01:11:54 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'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.
Starting point is 01:12:28 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.
Starting point is 01:12:46 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.
Starting point is 01:13:02 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.
Starting point is 01:13:25 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.
Starting point is 01:13:38 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.
Starting point is 01:13:49 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
Starting point is 01:14:19 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,
Starting point is 01:14:49 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
Starting point is 01:15:14 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.
Starting point is 01:15:39 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.
Starting point is 01:15:53 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.
Starting point is 01:16:19 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
Starting point is 01:16:33 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.
Starting point is 01:17:03 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.
Starting point is 01:17:25 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.
