So I did a moderated book event for my book, Black Privilege Opportunity Comes to Those Who Create It. And I did a signing. And Mayor Steven Benjamin gave me the key to the city. Now, I heard that that key opens up Chick-fil-A on Sunday. Is there any truth to that? That is a fact.

Starting point is 00:05:30 Just know that. That lifestyle looks very fly. That was the first week. Last night, we watched Boys in the Hood. Why? These are just classic movies. I picked the first two weeks. Let them watch Malcolm X.
Starting point is 00:05:42 What are we going to do with Malcolm X? Why Boys in the Hood and Payton Ford? By the Malcolm X? Why Boys in the Hood and Pain in the Foam? By the way, I love Boys in the Hood and Pain in the Foam, but I'm not letting my daughters watch Boys in the Hood and Pain in the Foam. At 15? No, for what? Yes, yes. Now you got to show them Menace to Society.

Starting point is 00:06:24 I saw them in the street. I'd rather watch with my kids. Now they know. They were scared of the whole drug dealer movie. When homie cut the boy's thumb off, oh, my daughter was, oh, my gosh, she was livid. Did you tell her it was based on a true story? Yes, I did. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Yeah, I did. Well, anyway, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what we're talking about. We are going to talk about Donald Trump. He was in Saudi Arabia. And I don't know if you guys saw him doing the traditional sword dance. No, I didn't. That was awkward. But we'll tell you what he has to say now. I guess he's trying to make sure he's good in the Middle East.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Okay. We'll get into all that when we come back. Here's Goosebumps. This is Travis Scott. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Back to the work week. It's a Monday. I saw a picture of Travis Scott. He had Kylie Jenner and Chipotle.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Well. See, that's what I'm talking about. Tyga was going broke, trying to show her the finer things in life, even though she could afford way more than Tyga can. And look at Travis taking it to Chipotle, thugging out, dropping the Clues bombs for Tyga, damn it. My goodness. I mean, Travis Scott, not Tyga.
Starting point is 00:07:22 All right. Well, let's get into some front page news. It's not the same thing. All right. Now, let's get into some front page news. It's not the same thing. All right, now let's talk NBA playoffs. Now, Boston beat the Cavs last night, 111-108. The Cavs were up by 21. They should have definitely won that game. That was a better game than you thought it was going to be, huh?
Starting point is 00:07:36 They were up by 21. Like, I mean, and Isaiah Thomas was out. I thought for sure they were going to blow it up. Everybody was like, I'm not watching that game. It's not even worth it. I watched it. It was a good game. Isaiah Thomas didn't play, and they came out to the Monstar music.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Like, LeBron James should be ashamed of himself. What happened there? I didn't even watch the game. What happened? They were up 21, and then all of a sudden, they were up 21 in the third quarter. Fourth quarter, Boston just got on fire. What's the tall white boy's name? Yarebko?
Starting point is 00:07:59 Yarebko? Yarebko. Yarebko, that's his name? He is a beast. Larry Bird. Yeah, Larry Bird, pretty much. He got in their head so crazy, was pushing them around, was being a bully, and they just turned the game around, and then they won with a last-minute three-pointer.
Starting point is 00:08:11 So congratulations to Boston. Now let's talk Donald Trump. Yes, Donald Trump was in Saudi Arabia, and he was there on Sunday. He's kind of changing his tune a lot. I guess he wants to appeal to the Muslim people by letting them know that he is only against extremists. Here's what he had to say. America will not seek to impose our way of life on others, but to outstretch our hands in the spirit of cooperation and trust. I stand before you as a representative of the American people to deliver a message of friendship
Starting point is 00:08:47 and hope and love. I want the Middle East to know Donald Trump doesn't represent me, though. I just want to throw that out there. He also said it's not a battle between different faiths, different sects, or different civilizations. He said it's a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human life and decent people all in the name
Starting point is 00:09:04 of religion. People that want to protect life and want to protect their religion. This is a battle between good and evil. Yeah, but you can't generalize all Muslims in the process, though, which he does. Yes, which he has historically done. So they're not completely open, of course, to Donald Trump and not completely trusting. They said it's an attempt to set a new and more productive tone in relations, but that one speech cannot outweigh years of anti-Muslim rhetoric and policy proposals. I'm going to be honest with you.
Starting point is 00:09:30 I don't think Donald Trump was even over there. I think that was green screen. What? I think that whole thing was CGI. I don't really think he was over there. No, I saw him doing the sword dance. That was crazy. I don't think he was really over there.
Starting point is 00:09:39 He got hot. For the way he treats Muslims in this country, the way he's talking about Muslims, he got hard to go over there. He don't care. I don't think he was really there. I think it was CGI, I'll be honest. Now, lastly, Notre Dame students walk out? Yes, they actually walked out because Vice President Mike Pence
Starting point is 00:09:53 was giving their graduation ceremony commencement address. And there was a group that was organized that was protesting that. A lot of the kids that were protesting actually were rainbow colored accessories in solidarity with LGBTQ politics. But of course, there were people there who were applauding. They actually booed the people that were protesting, but it was peaceful. OK. All right. Well, that's front page news.

I was with my sister and my boyfriend, so after the show, my sister wanted to go and meet him and all that.

Starting point is 00:17:20 I didn't realize the Billboard Awards were in Vegas. And we'll be talking about Trick Daddy as well. Now they're trying to say that he's been having some issues with his home, according to Bossip. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:17:35 The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. The rumor has it. The rumor has it. Rumor has it. On Breakfast Club. So listen up. The Billboard Music Awards were last night, and Drake broke all kinds of records.
Starting point is 00:17:55 He made history. He actually won 13 awards. Now, prior to that, the most awards in one night at that show was from Adele, who won 12 awards back in 2012. So this year, Drake won 13. Now, what did I miss? I thought Drake didn't do award shows anymore. Well, he hasn't been doing them in quite some time, but I guess this one he felt like he needed to be there.
Starting point is 00:18:15 He knew he was winning 13. Yeah, if you're going to give me 13, I'll show up. You got to go. Yeah. Ten of them were actually before the show was televised, and then he won three during the actual televised part of the show. Here's what he said when he went to accept his award we're all here on earth for a limited amount of time and we got a show love while we're here so tonight I want to say that Vanessa Hudgens you look incredible tonight I want to say
Starting point is 00:18:36 ludicrous I know we haven't always seen eye to eye but I've always been a big fan of yours man I got a lot of love for you I want to let you know that face to face while I'm still here I want to say Minaj, I'm so glad we found our way back because I love you and I could never, ever, ever see it any other way. I want to say, I want to say, Lil Wayne, if it wasn't for the risk you took, none of us would be here tonight. And I want to say, my dad got on a purple suit with purple shoes. Boy, if you don't stop. Drake has already followed Vanessa Hudgens and liked her picture, by the way. Can you smash a guy after he makes it so public, though?
Starting point is 00:19:08 Like after he gives you a shout out on stage, follows you and likes you. Can you still give him something? Would you feel comfortable still giving him something? Drake goes hard. We're going to have a whole lot more from the Billboard Music Awards throughout this morning. We have the clip with what Luda said about Drake when he was on The Breakfast Club, too, while Drake even said that. How did you feel when he said your name in that How About Now, when he said he was playing his music
Starting point is 00:19:26 for the Chickens? Chickens was like, oh, turn that off. You listen to Ludacris? Yeah, you know what? Is that a shot? I don't know. Nah, you know what's crazy is I think it's a little bit of a true story behind that. His girl at the time, with all due respect,
Starting point is 00:19:36 was probably doing a little bit more than that, but it's a true story, and I think that's why he said that. And it was a chick in Toronto, and at the time I didn't even know that she was you know, I guess I didn't know what was going on but Luda smashed Drake's girl man, my goodness It's not his fault, he didn't know No, absolutely, I did not know
Starting point is 00:19:54 I wouldn't like Luda for that either if he smashed my girl Oh my now It's not his fault, that's ridiculous You really think Aubrey cares at this point? Back then he did, I'm sure I mean he is a waffle-colored negro so he could hold on to that pettiness. Well, congratulations to Drake and Celine Dion performed. It was the 20th anniversary of Titanic also, so people were crying, so that happened.
Starting point is 00:20:13 And Diddy went on stage. It would have been Biggie's birthday, so here's—it would have been Biggie's 45th birthday, by the way. So Puff went on stage, and here's what he had to say. They changed the game of hip-hop forever. Biggie was the best rapper I ever had a chance to work with. Watching him and seeing him work is something that words can't explain. But there's a reason why I'm up here tonight, because tonight and today is Biggie's 45th birthday.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Can you please get about your seats? Can you please get about your seats? Puffy said a line, because after that they showed his documentary, and he said a line, and I don't know why this line inspired me so much, but he said, I don't want the Chrysler that looks like the Phantom. I want the Phantom. And I don't even want either one of those cars. But I just –
Starting point is 00:20:58 Why did it inspire you then? I don't know. It doesn't sound very inspirational. It just sounded good when he said it. And I'm like, you know what? I need to work 10 times harder. There you go. All right.
Starting point is 00:21:06 And Cher, by the way, also got the Icon Award. You know she's 71 years old? Cher is that old? She turned 71 over the weekend. And she said, and I can do a five-minute plank. I'm just saying. The tall with the black hair, long hair? I got you, babe.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Sonny and Cher. I thought she was older. What are you talking about? I saw Cher at the Women's March. She looks great, by the way. Incredible. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Reports.
Starting point is 00:21:30 How old is the other one, the old, old lady? Betty, what's her name? Betty White. How old is Betty White? Almost dead. Like 90. That's how old she is. All right.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Almost dead. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, We Are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. The last night, NBA playoffs. Boston beat the Cavs 111-108. Now, the Cavs were up by 21 in the third quarter.
Starting point is 00:21:54 They definitely should have won that game last night. Boston came back. Boston looked good. They didn't have Isaiah Thomas. They were hitting threes. Boston played hard in that fourth quarter. I'm not going to lie. Salute to them because it's really pointless to play hard
Starting point is 00:22:06 because they're not going to win the series. They're really just out there playing hard because they want to. So congratulations to those guys. I don't think they're going to win the series either, but they played hard. You don't think they're going to win the series? No, they're not going to win the series. I think that's a pretty short bet, buddy. All right.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Now tonight, what time? They play 9 o'clock. The Warriors play the Spurs. So we'll see what happens with that game. Now let's talk about the driver in Times Square, Yee. Yes, the driver in Times Square. 26-year-old Richard Rojas told the New York Post in an interview while he was in jail on Saturday that he has no memory of what he did that killed an 18-year-old tourist and injured 20 other people.
Starting point is 00:22:39 He's a 26-year-old Navy vet. And he said he basically just wanted to see the video footage. He didn't even believe that it could be him. He said he's been trying to get mental help. He said he asked for help beforehand, right? Yeah, he said he had tried to seek help in the days before the deadly crash happened. He went to a veteran's center. He spoke with a mental health counselor. They
Starting point is 00:22:58 told him he would call Monday. Today's Monday. Goodness gracious. You know, so he was arraigned Friday and charges including second degree murder. He's Monday. Goodness gracious. You know, so he was arraigned Friday, and charges including second-degree murder. He's being held without bail. Now, they said he had glassy eyes, slurred speech, and he was unsteady on his feet. He told police he had smoked marijuana laced with PCP.
Starting point is 00:23:15 But later on in this interview, he said he had no recollection of any of those statements. He said he does guess that his weed was laced with something, and they are doing a blood test, so they will have those results within the next few days. Well, whether or not you get charged doesn't depend on if you remember. It depends on if we remember. We remember, okay?
Starting point is 00:23:32 So you need to have that same energy when you hit the gas that you have before you get sentenced. If you went to a place to get some help, mental health, whatever it was. The veterans, yeah. And they say, come back on Monday. That's kind of crazy. I'm coming for help. That means I'm having problems that I might go a little crazy.
Starting point is 00:23:49 And then you say, okay, come back Monday? So what's that mean? What are you saying? He probably needed help. So you're saying he should get off? Hell no, he shouldn't get off. One of his friends is speaking out about it, and he's saying that he's a Navy veteran who had a tough time after his service.
Starting point is 00:24:03 He came back with a drinking problem. His friend said, don't make him out to be a terrorist or something. Yeah, well, that's always sad. I hate the fact that, you know, veterans go off to war, and then they come back to America, and they're homeless and stuff like that. But the man committed a crime. Right, but he had problems. He's not going to get committed with murder. He's not going to get convicted of murder. He'll probably go to a crazy house and he'll do some time there a couple years and he'll be released.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Don't call it a crazy house. That's what he called it. A mental institution. There you go. That's not fair to the victim. It's not fair. Or the victim's family. It's not fair, but he tried to get help.
Starting point is 00:24:34 He served his country and he's pretty effed up in the head. He needs help. He needs help. He can get up in jail. He can put him in jail and still get him counseling and all that stuff like that. All right. All right. What else we talking about, Yee?
Starting point is 00:24:44 Donald Trump was in Saudi Arabia over the weekend. Oh, you show me him dancing. Oh, my goodness. I put it on Twitter, too, if you want to see what it looked like when he was doing the traditional sword dance. But he had some things to say because he's always had a really tough stance and had some really negative things to say about Muslims and a lot of anti-Muslim rhetoric and proposals and trying to make sure no Muslims could enter the country. At one point, he had proposed that, and he still is trying to get this travel ban passed. All right, well, here is part of his speech.
Starting point is 00:25:13 America will not seek to impose our way of life on others, but to outstretch our hands in the spirit of cooperation and trust. I stand before you as a representative of the American people to deliver a message of friendship and hope and love. Two things. He's not representing all American people because he's not representing me. And number two, I really think that that whole thing was photoshopped and I think that was a green screen in CGI.
Starting point is 00:25:42 You don't think it was him? No. I refuse to believe that they was really there. Well, he also described Islam as one of the world's greatest faiths and he called for tolerance and respect for each other.
Starting point is 00:25:53 He's headed to Jerusalem today. Does Donald Trump not remember what he said about Muslims the same way that guy don't remember running over people in Times Square?
Starting point is 00:26:00 Like, isn't that the guy who just tried to implement the Muslim ban? Or has been trying to implement a Muslim ban? What's going on here? All right, guys. All right.
Starting point is 00:26:06 All right, well, that's front page news. When we come back, shoot your shot.

Starting point is 00:27:13 Oh, it is, it is. Okay, that's nice. Nice OG conversation. Right, right, right, right. So we were hitting it off. We were doing the dances, you know what I'm saying? We were doing the wop. You know what I'm saying? You were doing the wop. You know what I'm saying? You were doing the wop.
Starting point is 00:27:27 I love it. I love it. We were doing our thing, you know what I'm saying? So we said, like, yo, we'll stay connected. We'll keep in touch. But it's been, like, a couple of weeks. And, like, I'm just trying to get back before it's too late. You know what I'm saying? All right.
Starting point is 00:27:42 So basically, y'all had a nice little situation at the wedding, reception, and you haven't spoke to her since? Yeah, yeah. I feel like right now is the time to just go for it before it's too late. You haven't tried to reach out to her or call her or anything before this? Nah, I've just been busy, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:28:00 Like work and stuff. How do you know she didn't call you back because your wop was trash, fam? Your wop might have been trash, bro. And you ain't try to kiss her or nothing. My wop's tight. You know what I'm saying? You ain't try to kiss her or nothing.
Starting point is 00:28:12 It was just dancing and good conversation. Did some stuff, though. But, I mean, it was more like PG-13-ish. You know what I'm saying? Tell me. You got to give us more details. What's PG-13 stuff? She let you touch her breasts?
Starting point is 00:28:25 You know, like a little booty feeling up a little bit. I'm going to What's PG-13 stuff? She let you touch her breasts? You know, like, little booty feeling up a little bit. I'm going to let you know. I'm going to let you know. Your booty or hers? If you're dancing and having good conversation and she lets you just touch her butt, you're her gay friend.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Just want to throw that out there. Oh, my goodness. Just want to put that out there. All right, well, let's call her for the first time, and I'm disappointed in you that this is your first time reaching out if you had such a great time. I know.
Starting point is 00:28:44 It's on me, though. That's why I'm trying to salvage. When we come back, we're going to call. Good luck. Hold on. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ N.V. Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle
Starting point is 00:28:58 of Shoot Your Shot. We have Will on the phone, and he's about to call Anika. Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? Yeah. Who is this?
Starting point is 00:29:21 You know, you remember me? This is Will. We met at my boy Jason's wedding. Jason and Jasmine's wedding. We were talking to each other. We were doing the WAP. We were feeling each other a little bit. Remember that?
Starting point is 00:29:35 Yeah. How you doing? I kind of remember the wedding. Honestly, I was lit. It was a fun time. I drank way too much. Um, but what's up? How, like what's going on?
Starting point is 00:29:54 Uh, I just wanted to follow up and be like, I'm just trying to holler. You know what I'm saying? Like, what's up with you? Like maybe we could, you know, meet up and rendezvous a little bit, you know? Yeah. See, I'm in a relationship and I'm. Meet up in rendezvous a little bit, you know? Rendezvous? Yeah, no. See, I'm in a relationship, and I'm... Wow. My bad. Anika, my bad.
Starting point is 00:30:13 I'm sorry. Hi, Anika. We're The Breakfast Club. DJ and V'Angela, you and Charlamagne Tha God. Good morning. Man, Will was talking about how y'all was vibing the tribe called Quez. He said he put his hand on your butt. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:30:24 You had a connection and everything. You know what this was? This was a tribe called Curve. Okay? This is De La Dun. So did you have any type of feeling toward him? You don't even remember him? Honestly, I couldn't even
Starting point is 00:30:40 tell you what he looked like. Well, I told you your WAP was trash. Well, if you had a memorable WAP, she'd have remembered you. Damn it, man. All right? Explain to the kids what a WAP is. The WAP is like the Millie Rock of their 70s.
Starting point is 00:30:52 80s, 90s, all right? 80s, man. 80s, 90s, okay? And if you had a good WAP, it was a good mating call, but clearly his WAP was trash. It didn't attract any member of the opposite sex, specifically Anika.
Starting point is 00:31:03 So, Anika, are you in a serious, serious relationship or are you just dating? No, I'm in a serious, serious relationship. I've been with my man for four years. How would he tell you about you whopping with somebody else? He wasn't there.
Starting point is 00:31:19 When you let your girl go to a wedding by herself, you know. Yeah, feelings come out. You start wondering when it's going to be your day. Will said he touched your ass. Is that true? When you let your girl go to a wedding by herself, you know. Yeah, feelings come out. Yeah, feelings come out. You start wondering when it's going to be your day. Will said he touched your ass. Is that true? She don't remember.
Starting point is 00:31:31 I don't know. I'm going to go with no. All right. There you go. Just say no if you don't remember. Will, I'm not going to be honest. Your whop is trash. The way you called Anika this morning.
Starting point is 00:31:40 The way you called Anika this morning and tried to kick it to her was trash. So bad for you, bro. This is Bhutan clan kick it to her was trash. Like, this is... It's so bad for you, bro. This is Bhutan clan right here. Like, Bhutan clan. Like, this is horrible. Like, you're terrible. Damn it, man.
Starting point is 00:31:51 Wait, wait, wait. Can I talk... Well, Anika, though. What was going on, though? Because, like, you in a relationship, so why were you, like, throwing it back at me that night? You just love getting curbed. First of all, it's Anika. Second of all.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Second of all. No need to get to a second of all, Anika. You don't remember him. He don't remember your name. We're sorry we bothered you this morning. Thank you for being a member called a tribe. Thank you for being the leader of a tribe called Curve. Thank you for playing our game, Shoot to Shot.
Starting point is 00:32:19 Thank you, Anika. We appreciate you. I'm sorry, guys. Will, have a blessed day. Will, next time, know the girl's name. That was all bad. Will said Anaka. Anaka?
Starting point is 00:32:29 Anaka is what Erykah Badu wears. Door knockers. No, that's not door knockers. What do you call that thing? My wife got a tattoo on her back. The Ankh. I'm sorry. You just called it Anaka?
Starting point is 00:32:40 Oh, my gosh. All right, Will and Charlamagne, be quiet. Let's keep going. All right, we got rumors on the way. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:32:48 It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, Charlamagne, tell me about a new show that's on Starz. What's it called? Well, it's a new show based off a book I read a long time ago called American Gods. I don't really like too many fictional books, but the book got recommended to me by somebody, so I read it a few years ago. It's by Neil Gaiman, and the show is called American Gods by somebody, so I read it like a few years ago. It's by Neil Gaiman,
Starting point is 00:33:06 and the show is called American God. It's good? Oh, the TV show's amazing. I didn't think the TV show was going to live up to the book, but the TV show's absolutely incredible.
Starting point is 00:33:13 I got to check that out. It's only been four or five episodes. Okay. You should watch it. I'll check it out over the weekend. Make sure you watch the gay scene when the guy has sex
Starting point is 00:33:20 with the God. It's like, I don't know if the guy is a God or a demon, but he's gay, and it's hilarious to God. I don't know if the guy is a God or a demon, but he's gay, and it's hilarious to me. I laughed. I did.
Starting point is 00:33:29 I laughed. I thought it was funny. Okay. All right, well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Monique. Listen up. It's just in.
Starting point is 00:33:38 All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Monique's been revealing a lot of different things about herself.
Starting point is 00:33:49 In particular, just recently, this made the news. She talked about why she doesn't like Oprah, Lee Daniels, and Tyler Perry. She tells the whole backstory of what happened between her and Oprah. Check it out. They had a very personal and intimate conversation about how we dealt with our families, how our families were trying to grab and take. I shared with Oprah Winfrey that me and my mother were not on good terms. I said to that sister, right now, it is really bad. I'm going through it. She said, I understand. She never says anywhere in that conversation,
Starting point is 00:34:23 Monique, I'm going to have your mother on the show. I'm going to have your mother on the show. I'm going to have your father on the show. So that's what I guess she feels like. She feels like Oprah used her molestation to create show content. And that really divided the family. Well, since she said these things openly about Oprah, Tyler Perry and Lee Daniels, she said she has spoken to one of them. Here's what she had to say. And I'm sharing it with y'all first.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Tyler Perry did call my husband and I. And I want to give that brother credit where credit is due. We did talk to Tyler Perry last night. And we don't want to be the kind of folks that say this is what happened. But we don't want to say, you know, if a brother or sister called, that brother did pick up the phone and we did have a conversation. I said, brother, you know I got to let the n****s know that you called and that we gonna talk about it.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Tyler Perry better than me, and I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not saying this is an admission of guilt, but it seems like it's an admission of guilt because if somebody slanders me because they say I did something wrong to them and I know I didn't do anything wrong to them, I'm going to throw a middle finger to them. F them. F you. But,
Starting point is 00:35:30 if you actually did do something to that person, then you'll reach out and be like, hey, I apologize. My bad. Right, it takes a strong person to admit they did something wrong sometimes, too. Instead of just holding a grudge against somebody for calling you out on it. I bet your Oprah don't call.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Yeah, I'm pretty sure she's not. Now, more celebrities' homes have been robbed. Michael B. Jordan, his house got broken into a few weeks ago. They said he still hasn't revealed all the things that have been taken from his home, so they can't say what number of how much money or how many items have been stolen. I'm confused. Scott Dizek also. Why don't they have cameras and alarm systems? I mean, some people do.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Michael B. Jordan's house, they got in after smashing a window. Nobody was home at the time. They said it seems to be pretty random. Now, Scott Dizek's home was also burglarized, and they said the house was partially ransacked as well. And that's all because he was out of town. I guess people knew he was celebrating his 34th birthday in Vegas. Great time to break into somebody's house. So they
Starting point is 00:36:27 broke in through a rare door and deputies did respond. Nobody was home at that time. Hey, all you attention-seeking guys on social media, now's the time to make a little viral video smelling some boxer briefs and say that you broke into Michael B. Jordan's house and these are his boxes. What's wrong with you? Is that what you think?
Starting point is 00:36:43 Where did you get that from? To all these guys that love to get attention from stupid viral videos, this is a good one. Now's your moment. Thank you. Shoot your shot. All right, Tank has some comments
Starting point is 00:36:51 about Lil Uzi Vert and Lil Yachty and just basically the way that they dress because they've been getting a lot of flack. We've all seen how Lil Uzi Vert's been dressing,
Starting point is 00:37:00 Lil Yachty as well. Well, Tank says that he is utterly disgusted. He said, I've never seen so many grown black men speak out against young black kids fighting to earn a living in this already difficult world. Yes, they are different, but so was MJ and Prince. Y'all still celebrate those men highly with no thought to their differences. The crazy part is that these kids actually represent positivity.
Starting point is 00:37:21 So he's saying just because they don't fit in and they dress differently is no reason for us to make fun of them. Why do people act like they didn't clown Prince back in the day? You ain't never heard your dad clowning Prince? You ain't never heard people clown Andre 3000? People, they always did that. This is nothing new. Yes, we actually have audio of Lil Uzi talking about the shirt he wore.
Starting point is 00:37:40 You get a lot of backlash from what you wear. Infamous 2400 shirt. What is your response to that? People think it's feminine. You know what it is? Yeah. What? They never felt these fabrics before.
Starting point is 00:37:50 What's the status of Love Race 2? Well, Love Race 2, it'll be out soon. Yeah? Like, really soon. Like, sooner than soon. Yeah, people have such revisionist history when it comes to it. Like, I used to do sketches about Prince and clown him for walking around with his ass cheeks out.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Okay? When he used to wear those pants. What are you talking about? Shirts versus blouses. He didn't big up Prince. So is it okay to wear a blouse? That's what I'm asking. Anything's okay.
Starting point is 00:38:16 You can wear whatever you want. Listen, I don't care. I don't have enough time and energy to be worried about what the next person is wearing. What about a pocketbook? You wear them. I don't about a pocketbook? You wear them? I don't wear no pocketbook. Oh. Pharrell is doing the Chanel campaign,
Starting point is 00:38:29 and it's supposedly women's bags, and he's promoting those. Young Thug has my purse. So if your friend jumps off the bridge, you're supposed to do it too? I'm just asking, is it okay? I'm not saying that you have to, but what I'm saying is... I don't care. All right, I'm going to get you a purse for Christmas. As an individual, you do whatever you want to do.
Starting point is 00:38:46 I'm going to be honest with you. One thing I like about them young boys, they don't be sagging their pants. You damn near 40, and you still showing your red drawers every morning. I don't sag my pants. Okay? I don't.
Starting point is 00:38:55 They wear their size. All right? It's fitted. It's super fitted. Okay, their pants ain't hanging off their ass. All right? I don't sag my pants. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee,
Starting point is 00:39:04 and that's your rumor report. All right, thank you, Miss E, but stop checking on my ass. You're making me feel uncomfortable. I don't sag my pants. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee and that's your rumor report. All right, thank you, Miss E, but stop checking on my ass. You're making me feel uncomfortable. I can't help it. You walking around the room sagging all damn day. I'm going human resource.
Starting point is 00:39:12 You're making me feel uncomfortable. I'm sitting there like, this man got 10 kids and he's still sagging his pants. I don't sag my pants, but stop looking at my ass. You don't have 10 kids is really what it is.
Starting point is 00:39:18 Oh, yeah, I don't have 10 kids either. Tell him ain't donking today. Who you giving that donker to? If he got so many kids, he can't remember if he got 10 or not. It's close to it. What were you doing?
Starting point is 00:39:30 I said, who you giving your donkey to? Oh, donkey today is going to a young man named Scott Berkowitz. Okay, he is a landlord in Brooklyn. We need to talk to him. I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the day. This is donkey, donkey, donkey. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Starting point is 00:39:51 It's time for the donkey of the day. That's pretty fun. Is Charlamagne the devil? Possibly. The Breakfast Club. Yeah, donkey of the day for Monday, May 22nd goes to Samuel Berkowitz. Now, if you don't know who Samuel Berkowitz is, he is a landlord in Brooklyn. OK, one of his properties is a Brooklyn building on Bedford Avenue and Quincy Street.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Now, what makes this building so special? Well, on the side of this building is a mural of a man who would have celebrated his 45th birthday yesterday. Christopher Wallace, a.k.a. the Notorious B.I.G. Drop on the clues bombs for B.I.G., damn it. This breaks my heart. If I have to explain to you who the Notorious B.I.G. is, you're too young and this story is not for you. But those of us who are of age and grew up on B.I.G.
Starting point is 00:40:35 and understand his greatness, then you will understand why this landlord is absolutely getting donkey of the day. Well, first of all, this mural was created by Rocco Allelu Sorry, brother, if I can't pronounce your name. I can't pronounce nothing. And Scott Zimmerman. They're the creators of the King of NYC mural, and they put a post on Instagram
Starting point is 00:40:54 saying that for the past year. What am I saying? Y'all know what I meant. It's a picture. It's a painting. And they put a post on Instagram saying that for the past year, they have been working real hard to keep this, what is it? Mural.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Mural. I'm a New York Times best-selling author. Drop one of Clues Bombs for me, Demi. Okay? But the landlord, Samuel Berkowitz, has other plans. See, the landlord always calls Spread Art NYC and says that neighbors are complaining about the, what is it? Mural.
Starting point is 00:41:24 Yes, and the crowd it attracts, okay? According to Spread Art NYC and says that neighbors are complaining about the, what is it? Mural. Yes, and the crowd it attracts. Okay. According to Spread Art NYC, Samuel Berkowitz told them four months ago he will be doing construction that will be damaging the mural and he will be opening windows on the wall to increase rent profit by $500. Also,
Starting point is 00:41:39 according to Spread Art NYC, they offered $5,000, which they plan to gather from the community and fans, not to open the windows, but that offer was declined. And according to Spread Art NYC, Samuel Berkowitz kind of offered by saying he wants $1,250 a month to keep the mural up. Now, Samuel Berkowitz doesn't care what y'all think. In fact, he asked, why should I keep it?
Starting point is 00:42:02 I don't even see the point of the discussion. I could demolish the building if I wanted to. I don't even see the point of the discussion. I could demolish the building if I wanted to. I don't need no permission from anyone except the DOB. Samuel Berger, which is absolutely right. It's his property. If he doesn't want the picture of Biggie up, he can take it down. But when you ask, why should you keep
Starting point is 00:42:18 it up, then I fully understand that you don't know, don't show, and don't give a damn about the culture. Okay, Samuel? It's Biggie. The Notorious B.I.G. And it's Brooklyn. Okay, Biggie Smalls, Brooklyn. All right?
Starting point is 00:42:32 It's not too many things more Brooklyn than Biggie. What's more Brooklyn than Biggie? More Brooklyn? Yeah. Nothing. That's what I'm saying. It's not too many things. This is when gentrification goes too far.
Starting point is 00:42:42 Who is going to be the cultural translator that tells Samuel Berkowitz the importance of Biggie Smalls? A telltale sign, Samuel, that you shouldn't just remove this mural. Did I say it right? It's because of the large crowds that gather to see it. That alone should let you know, hey,
Starting point is 00:42:59 maybe this guy meant something to the borough. But not only did he mean something to the borough, he meant something to a whole culture of people all across the world. Now, I know people are thinking $1,250 a month. Diddy can pay that. Jay-Z can pay that. You know, you're right. We just saw them, you know, as one and two on the Forbes list.
Starting point is 00:43:15 They got it, but here's the thing. They shouldn't have to pay it. All right, Samuel Berkowitz should simply be keeping this up because it's the right thing to do. You're a landlord. Landlords should do what's best for the community and tenants of the building. If the community loves it, keep it up because the community is allowing
Starting point is 00:43:30 you to peacefully exist there. So let the mural, did I say it right? Mural. The mural peacefully exist there, okay? Not to mention Brooklyn has become the land of gentrification and green juice, so you need to keep elements of the old Brooklyn up, alright? You need things that pay homage to a less healthier
Starting point is 00:43:45 moment in time. Samuel Berkowitz, think about the biggest music or movie star you love. Multiply that by 100, and that's how much Biggie means to Brooklyn. That's why you should keep it up, Samuel. Do you want to go down in history as A, the landlord that ruined Brooklyn, or B, the landlord
Starting point is 00:44:02 that decided to do the right thing for the culture? If you choose to go with A, well, we're going to have to give you these sweet sounds of the Hamiltonians. Wait, wait, wait. Can I just add one thing?
Starting point is 00:44:11 And I just want to say it would be one thing if he wanted to add these windows and had to get rid of it. But he's saying he could keep it there if you pay.
Starting point is 00:44:19 So it's not even that he wants to add these windows. It's just that he wants some money. He wants more money. He wants the bread. Give Samuel Berkowitz the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's, please. You are the donkey of the day.
Starting point is 00:44:35 You are the donkey of the day. Hee haw. It's a petition on change.org to save the Biggie mural. And the Brooklyn Nets posted something. If you go on their Instagram, they can tell you how you also can petition and work
Starting point is 00:44:59 on getting this mural to stay. Yeah, they want to make it a landmark. Which it is. And which it should be and would be. I can't be mad at the man for wanting to get $1,250 a month, but it's the principle. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:45:11 Well, thank you for that donkey today. We have some other great Biggie murals in Brooklyn, too, and Old Dirty Bastard, too, has a nice one. Mm-hmm. Now, when we come back, 800-585-1051. In the room as early, we were talking about Lil Uzi Vert.
Starting point is 00:45:23 There was a picture of him online that people were going crazy about. Now, he was allegedly wearing a blouse. Well, yeah. Allegedly. Was it a blouse? Yeah, it's a blouse.
Starting point is 00:45:33 Oh, okay. It looks like a Freddy Krueger sweater to me. I don't know what it was. It wasn't a sweater. It wasn't a sweater? It was a blouse. And there's pictures of Young Thug.
Starting point is 00:45:39 He's wearing a Chanel bag. He's actually performing on stage with a Chanel bag. And Lil Uzi Vert had the Goyard bag as well. Goyard what? Pocketbook? Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:45:48 So we're asking 800-585-1051. Is that okay? Are you guys okay with, you know, your favorite rappers wearing blouses and pocketbooks? Should we just stop judging these kids and just say, okay, this is just a new era of how young people dress now, young men? Yeah, because, I mean, if you look at it, you're like, okay, this is just a new era of how young people dress now, young men. Yeah, because, I mean, if you look at it, you're like, okay, this generation dressed like girls, right? And our generation, prior to us, dressed like thugs. Right.
Starting point is 00:46:14 That's just the truth to the matter. The rock stars used to wear makeup and wear really tight leather pants with their shirts open. Right. And do all of that. So we're asking, 800-585-1051. Heels. Used to wear heels. Okay. And do all of that. So we're asking, 800-585-1051. Heels, we used to wear heels. Okay, are you cool with your favorite rappers wearing heels, blouses, and pocketbooks?
Starting point is 00:46:30 Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, we're taking your calls, 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:46:47 Coming out of the room as we were talking about Lil Uzi Vert, people were talking about a blouse that he was wearing. Right. And we were also talking about Young Thug. He recently performed on stage wearing a pocketbook. And he wore dresses in the past. He wore dresses in the past. So we're asking, are you cool with it?
Starting point is 00:47:01 Is it okay with you guys? I don't care what those young boys do. They're kids. I'm a grown-ass man. I'm not sitting around investing time and energy into what they're wearing. Do I like to see men looking feminine? No. But I'm minding my business.
Starting point is 00:47:11 I will say this, though. There has never been an era of hip-hop where a pocket of hip-hop artists didn't look ridiculous or look feminine. Andre 3000 used to get judged for his looks. People would ask if he was gay. Cee Lo wore a damn wedding dress. Go look at any old video from the 90s and tell me those brothers didn't look ridiculous. This era ask if he was gay. CeeLo wore a damn wedding dress. Go look at any old video from the 90s and tell me those brothers
Starting point is 00:47:26 didn't look ridiculous. This era of the jeans too tight. The 90s, the clothes was too big. I saw a picture from the 90s the other day. I think it might have been an old Desert Storm picture.
Starting point is 00:47:35 You, Joe Budden, Fabulous, Clue. And I'm like, what were they hiding in their jeans? I don't know. Like, y'all jeans is big for no reason.
Starting point is 00:47:42 I saw it was an old... Shirt for 6X. For no reason. Yeah, it was pretty dumb. Come on. Let me ask you a question. See, I agree with you. I don't care. You knowall jeans Jeans is big for no reason I thought it was all Shirt for 6X For no reason Yeah it was pretty dumb Come on Let me ask you a question See I agree with you I don't care
Starting point is 00:47:48 You know wear what you want to wear You want to feel free Feel free Be free Be free Be free But now let me ask you a question Right
Starting point is 00:47:54 You have a son No I don't Alright If you had a son No I don't have a son See this is what I hate I don't have a son I don't want my son
Starting point is 00:48:02 Dressing like this I don't That's my thing That's how I look at it Like I don't care What anybody else wears this. That's my thing. That's how I look at it. I don't care what anybody else wears. But now my son comes home and he says, Dad, I want to get that new pocketbook Young Thug had because I like the way he rocked it.
Starting point is 00:48:12 I don't like men looking feminine. I'm sorry. Especially, listen, if you're gay and that's your thing and you decide you want to or you're a cross-dresser, that's you. Cool. But if you claim to be a straight man and you're feminizing yourself,resser, that's you. Cool. But if you claim to be a straight man and you're feminizing yourself, that looks a little crazy.
Starting point is 00:48:28 I feel like some people get away with it pretty well. Like Tank mentioned, Prince definitely used to wear heels. He used to get clowned. My daddy used to clown Prince. But you know what's funny? When I was growing up, I never even thought about that. I just loved Prince. You didn't think about Prince wearing heels? No, I never thought
Starting point is 00:48:44 about it. My daddy used to make jokes about Prince all the time and still love Prince and still play his music. Prince used to get clowned and live in color and make sketches of Prince. And then you look at all those big hair bands and how they used to have the big, use a lot of hairspray and have makeup on. That's rock and roll.
Starting point is 00:48:58 That ain't hip-hop. Man, speaking of hip-hop, go look at old hip-hop videos from the 90s. Go look at an old Wu-Tang video and ask yourself, what the hell was wrong with them? Right. All right?
Starting point is 00:49:07 I think they look great. Whether it was their hair all wild, or they would wear the shades with one lens in it. Everybody had crazy fashion statements. The gold fangs. I mean, I agree. Do what you want to do. Now fashion is a lot more gentle.
Starting point is 00:49:22 But if my son come home wearing a blouse or said, Gia, hey, mommy, can I borrow your blouse or your heels? No, I don't want you to be feminine. Plus, they're not the same size. We don't need him stretching out Gia's shoes. You're right. What looks stupider? Walking around in a blouse or walking around in a bulletproof vest?
Starting point is 00:49:38 Everywhere you go. Huh? What looks dumber? The blouse? No. I'd rather the blouse. Because the bulletproof vest says that you ain't living right, and you think people want to kill you, all right?
Starting point is 00:49:51 You look much freer in a blouse, all right? I bet you, Troy, I would rather wear a blouse than a bulletproof vest. No, what are you talking about? Hello, who's this? This is Rocky. Hey, Rocky, how do you feel about these rappers wearing blouses, pocketbooks, women's clothes? Listen, these kids are Hey, Rocky. How do you feel about these rappers wearing blouses, pocketbooks, women's clothes? Listen, these kids are confused, man.
Starting point is 00:50:07 I mean, I heard Angela talk about, you know, back in the day, people wearing, you know, heels and whatnot. But, you know, those were costumes at that time. These kids aren't putting on costumes now. They're wearing it. No, you're making excuses for your era, brother. Yeah, no, because a lot of times they're on stage performing. You know, Young Thug had on his purse while he was performing. Lil Uzi Vert had just gotten off stage in that outfit.
Starting point is 00:50:27 You're making excuses for your era. What makes you think that they was in costume, but the guys now aren't? Stop it. Hello, who's this? This is Tashina. Hey, Tashina. What do you think about your favorite rappers wearing blouses and pocketbooks and stuff? It is not okay for a young man to be wearing blouses and pocketbooks.
Starting point is 00:50:45 I think at this point it is time for the older generation to step in and to tell these people how they're supposed to dress because they're influenced by children. How can we tell them how to dress when they can go look at old pictures of us and we had on size 48 jeans and we were size 34s in the waist? Our pants look like dresses. You're dressed like men. You're still dressed like men, not like females.
Starting point is 00:51:03 You're not wearing blouses and dresses. By the way, those big white t-shirts did dressed like men. You're dressed like men, not like females. You're not wearing blouses and dresses. By the way, those big white T-shirts did look like dresses. Exactly. Those big white 7XTs look just like dresses. They were T-shirts. 800-585-1051. We're talking about your favorite rappers. Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug.
Starting point is 00:51:18 They're wearing pocketbooks. They're wearing blouses. I think y'all care too much, man. What do you think? Call us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:51:24 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we were talking Lil Uzi Vert and Young Thug. Now, Lil Uzi Vert, they've been talking about him the last week. He's wearing a blouse, and people are making fun of his blouse and saying it's going a little too far. Young Thug recently performed on stage wearing a Chanel pocketbook. So we're asking, is that okay? You cool with it?
Starting point is 00:51:46 Like I said, I don't care what the young boy is doing because they're young. They'll outgrow it. It all looks dumb. But by the way, you can only get away with this if you're young. You can't be like... That's what I'm saying. All of us only got away with this stuff because we were young. Go back and look at the way we used to dress in our 20s.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Whether you're trying to dress like a thug or you're looking feminine, you all look ridiculous. I mean, you got to care about the youth if you have kids because, you know, I don't care what any kid does. You want to be free? Be free. I'm not judging. You just let your daughter watch Paid in Full this weekend. Shut the hell up. She's 15.
Starting point is 00:52:16 That's history. All right. Oh, that's history. That's history. Okay. So when she wants to start dressing like a drug dealer from the 80s, then you're going to be cool with that? No. Huh?
Starting point is 00:52:23 But if my son comes home wearing a pocketbook, I'm going to be like, look, son, this is not it. What if your son goes to school acting like Rico from Paid in Full? I'm going to tell him that's not it, too. But that's your fault. You turned him on to that.
Starting point is 00:52:34 No, I did not turn him on. Yes, you did. You said, hey, watch Paid in Full. He thinks Rico's cool. I'm not going to be cool if Logan started acting like that. No, I told him to watch Transformers. He don't think he's Optimus Prime.
Starting point is 00:52:43 If Logan starts acting like O-Dog, that would be incredible. Hello, who's this? All right, this is CJ out of Jacksonville. How y'all doing this morning? Hey, what's up, man? What do you think about these kids wearing blouses and pocketbooks, bro?
Starting point is 00:52:55 Hey, man, I'm not with it. I'm not with it at all. Like I was telling the lady, you know, back in the day, we didn't dress like Prince. You know, they might have made those performance clothes, but we weren't. Those clothes weren't available to us in the day we didn't dress like Prince you know they might have made those performance clothes but we weren't
Starting point is 00:53:05 those clothes weren't available to us in the market same thing with like P. Diddy and Mace when they come out in their flashy suits with glitter all on them we couldn't go back and repeat that the difference now is that it's available in the market and they're doing nothing to feminize our black young men and you know anyone
Starting point is 00:53:21 who likes to be like us it's a European style. And they've been dressed in feminine in Europe for years. It's been for decades. And that's never been an American culture. It's never been a hip-hop culture or anything else. But now that they have this new avenue where they can
Starting point is 00:53:38 get these guys to go out there and dress like this, it's completely killing us. By the way, if you wanted to cut your ass out of your pants, you could have did that back in the day. And by the way, what about,
Starting point is 00:53:48 listen, Cam used to walk around in pink, pink furs. Pink was a color that was reserved for women. But what? Pink is not reserved for women.
Starting point is 00:53:56 Everybody wore pink. No, after Cam did it. No, Fat Joe always wore pink. After Cam did it, guys were wearing pink before that. People did feel like it was weird that Cam Rhyme
Starting point is 00:54:04 was wearing pink at first. Yes. He kind of was a trendsetter. Did you just ask me if I wore pink? After Cam did it, guys weren't wearing pink Let's keep it real. People did feel like it was weird that Cam Rhyme was wearing pink at first. Yes. He kind of was a trendsetter. Did you just ask me if I wore pink? See what I'm saying? You're making excuses for your era.
Starting point is 00:54:13 At the time when Cam wore pink, it looked crazy. Pink was for girls. Blue was for boys. Hello, who's this? How you doing? It's Shavette. Hey, Shavette.
Starting point is 00:54:20 What do you think about your favorite rappers wearing pocketbooks and blouses? Listen, these kids are young and trends change with every era. Men used to wear crop tops, shiny bell-bottom pants. It changed. Let these kids wear what they want to wear, because when they get a little older, they ain't going to wear that thing.
Starting point is 00:54:37 They're not going to wear pocketbooks and things. Let them be fit. Right now, I'm looking at a picture in the New York Post of performer Freddie Mercury, and he is wearing a unitard while he's on stage performing with the whole front cut out of him. But, like Envy said, that's not hip-hop. But Uzi doesn't claim to be hip-hop. Yeah, they call themselves rock stars. He's a rock star.
Starting point is 00:54:54 So that's my point. He's a rock star. All right. Hello. Who's this? The boy Ghost, yeah? Oh, boy. Are you from New Orleans?
Starting point is 00:55:01 Yeah, yeah, yeah, man. Born and raised, yeah. You wearing blouses and purses down there, bro? Hell no. What do you think about some of that? Don't say hell no like we ain't see Lil Wayne and Baby Kiffin. Hey, listen, man. You know, that's them boys, man.
Starting point is 00:55:13 They stay in their own lane, you know what I mean? Now, what do you think about it? I just feel like, man, they just feminizing the male image too much. You know what I mean? Mm-hmm. Okay. So do you have a problem with these young kids wearing it, though? Does it bother you? I mean, I got kids
Starting point is 00:55:27 myself, you know, being that I got two boys, I do got a problem because my sons don't look up to them one day. You know what I mean? Well, you ain't doing your job as a father then if your kid's looking up to them. You gotta be your kid's first influence. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:55:44 And that's the thing. I think a lot of fathers, you gotta be your kid's first influence. Absolutely. And that's the thing. You know, I think a lot of fathers, you got to be your kid's first influence. They got to be, they got to look at you and say, I want to be like my daddy. I mean, I think that's the main thing. There was a party this weekend and it was a girl's party. My daughter went to it and there was one boy there. And, you know, the girls were putting on tutus and the mom put the boy in a tutu. And I was like, I want to, you know, we we wanted to tell her like, maybe you shouldn't do that.
Starting point is 00:56:06 It's none of your business. It's none of my business. You're right. I'm not for the feminization of the male in America, but these kids are young and trends do change. And I will tell y'all, go look at any 90, go look at Method Man Bring the Pain video and ask yourself, would you have gotten
Starting point is 00:56:21 on that bus or that train with all those wild hooligan-looking-ass dudes with the white contact lenses in it looking like all their eyeballs are white and their hair braided all crazy? Would you have? Huh? All right. What's the moral of the story?
Starting point is 00:56:35 Is that your moral? The moral of the story is wear what you want, okay? Like, forget the rules. If you like it, wear it. Because guess what? You're going to look back. I don't care what young thugs say, Lil Uzi. All of them are going to look back 20 years from now and say, damn, we looked ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:56:51 I guarantee it. Because do you envy when you look back at your old pictures? Absolutely. Okay, so do I. We all do. 20 years from now, you're going to look back and say, damn, I look ridiculous. So go ahead. Enjoy your life.
Starting point is 00:57:02 Look ridiculous and have fun doing it. Exactly. All right. We got rumors on the way? Yes, we will be talking about Venus and Serena Williams donating $1 million. We'll tell you to what organization. Also, Ja Rule being investigated now by the
Starting point is 00:57:14 FBI. Oh boy. Alright, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Well, people seem to feel that Nicki Minaj was going at Cardi B on her song Swish Swish. Well, really, Katy Perry's song Swish Swish.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Now, here is the verse that everyone's talking about. Pink Ferragamo sliders on deck. Silly rap beats just give me more checks. My life is a movie, I'm never offset. Me and my amigos, no, not offset. Swish, swish, ah, I got them upset. But my shooters, I make them dance like dubstep. Swish, swish, ah, my haters, it's upset. Cause I make them, they get much less. Alright.
Starting point is 00:57:59 Who was that supposed to be a diss to? Well, some people feel like she's talking about Cardi B. Wait, wait, wait. Either people are reaching or people just make up stuff on social media and everybody runs with it. Because I didn't hear the diss. She said, silly rap beefs just get me more checks. My life is a movie. I'm never offset.
Starting point is 00:58:15 Me and my amigos know not offset. But then I think the real reason people also thought that was because Cardi B then posted this shortly after the song came out. This shit right here is so fake. Your idols dead ass become rivals and that s*** is so whack because it's like, why the f*** you gotta be like that, my n***a? Like, bitch. I used to look up to you. I think everybody started tweeting Cardi, telling Cardi that Nicki was dissing her
Starting point is 00:58:38 and then Cardi went to Instagram live because that was not a diss to you. Not a diss either. Come on. Right, so who knows? But in the meantime, Nicki Minaj has been donating money to help a village in India build an infrastructure. So she's been helping this village, she said, for over
Starting point is 00:58:54 a year. This is the kind of thing that makes me feel the most proud. The money I've sent to this village in India for the last couple of years via my pastor has gotten them a computer center, a tailoring institute, a reading program and two water wells. We complain about the most ridiculous little things when some people don't even have clean water. Blessings to India.
Starting point is 00:59:10 Our work is far from done. I'll tell you guys more about my charity work in the near future in case you'd like to be a part of it. Love. I'm going to drop one of the clues bombs for Nicki Minaj, damn it. Absolutely. Okay. It's a good thing. All right.
Starting point is 00:59:22 Now, Venus and Serena Williams are donating $1 million to the ATA, the American Tennis Association. Now, the reason this even exists was because a century ago, the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association had a policy that banned African-American players. So that's when the American Tennis Association was born. It's about to celebrate its 100th anniversary. And Venus and Serena are playing a major role in helping them cement their legacy. They want to make sure that African-American kids get every opportunity to thrive in tennis. So they're going to do a brand new location.
Starting point is 00:59:54 They're relocating to South Florida, to Miramar. And they're also going to have a national training center for young African-American players. In the past five years, they've done this event every year, and more than 3,000 amateur and junior tennis players and their families took part. So a lot of people really, really credit the success to African-American kids playing tennis to the Williams family as well.
Starting point is 01:00:16 I wonder how significant was the rise in black kids playing tennis because of Venus and Serena. I'd love to know that. I'm sure, 100%, because they're definitely role models to a lot of these young children out there. And some kids who might have never thought about playing tennis or whose parents might not have ever thought of that. Yeah, I'm sure it rose, but I'd like to know how much.
Starting point is 01:00:34 You know what I mean? It's probably hard to tell exactly, but... They can probably tell from the program, so many programs they had to create and start from tennis. When I was a kid, there was one tennis program, because I played tennis as a kid, that we had to go into Long Island, which is more of a Caucasian white area and start from tennis. When I was a kid, there was one tennis program, because I played tennis as a kid, that we had to go into Long Island, which is more of a Caucasian white area, to play tennis.
Starting point is 01:00:49 Well, I played tennis in high school, too, but we had tennis courts at my school because I went to private school. Oh, no, we didn't. In Brooklyn, so. All right, Ja Rule and Billy McFarlane, the founders of the FIRE Festival, are now facing an FBI investigation, and that is for possible mail, wire, and securities fraud, according to the new york
Starting point is 01:01:05 times it was supposed to be a two weekend long music event and according to reports obviously it was canceled the first day so millennials did not get the instagram perfect festival that was promised to them a lot of employees haven't been paid A local restaurant owner says that they are owed $134,000. And all kinds of lawsuits now. There's a $100 million federal class action lawsuit. There's people that are saying they didn't get their loans paid back. That's another $3 million lawsuit. All kinds of issues.
Starting point is 01:01:37 So we'll see what happens with this FBI investigation as well. All right. Sheesh. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Reports. Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about
