Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Listen to Escape from Zakistan.
We need help!
That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series,
The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast
Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into
their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.
Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.
Alicia Keys, like you've never
heard her before. Listen to
On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts
or wherever you get your podcasts.
The world's most dangerous morning show.
The Breakfast Club.
What the hell is this, man?
Breakfast Club.
Y'all are like a mega force. Y'all just took over everything. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
This is Ashley. How are you guys this morning? Good morning.
Good morning, Ashley.
I'm calling from Dayton, Ohio. How are you guys?
We are blessed black and highly favored. Well, I'm black.
How you doing?
I'm black.
You are so extra. So everybody's black on the panel.
That is not true. On the panel? We are all black. What are so extra. So everybody's black on the panel. That is not true.
On the panel.
We are all black.
What's up, Ashley?
Okay.
So my thing is, okay, so I've been dealing with a guy for close to eight years.
Right.
And it's all good.
But my thing is he doesn't want to like, he keeps saying that I'm wifey.
You know that term like wifey, right?
Oh, yes.
My thing is like that has to come with something more than words.
So like, what's too long to wait when you're
dealing with a guy before
you cut it off if it's not marriage?
How old are you? I'm 32.
Y'all been dating for eight years?
Yeah, it's been eight years.
So what is it that you want? Because it's really
more about if you guys are matching up
as far as your future together.
What does he want and what do you want?
Clearly she wants to be the wife.
We share a son, okay? So we co-parent
pretty good, right?
And I don't know. To me,
I just think that he's pushing it back.
I feel like if you want something,
you'll obtain it, right?
And so I think it's excuses, like,
day after day, like, oh, it's not
this, it's that. I do want to marry you.
We're going to get there soon.
You know, just give me a minute.
But I'm like.
Let me give you a little hope.
Me and my wife have been together.
Oh, boy.
Since 1998.
So whatever the math is, I don't know, 21, 22 years.
We've been married five.
Okay.
That's all I got for you.
So if you, you know, want to wait that long, just stay down.
Y'all already share a son, as you said.
Make it sound like it's an Airbnb.
Well, good luck, mama.
That's all I got for you.
I share a son.
We share a son.
Hello, who's this?
This is Cliff.
Caller from the Bull City.
Cliff, what up, man?
Get off your chest.
What's the Bull City?
What's going on?
It's out here in Durham, North Carolina.
Raleigh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, got you.
Hey, can I shout out my wife right quick?
I just want to shout my wife Sheena out.
She just had our baby girl on October 22nd.
My beautiful wife.
Strongest woman I know, man.
So I want to shout her and my two boys, Elijah and Isaiah out.
Y'all have a blessed day.
Yes, sir.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, my name is LaKaya.
I'm from the 317
Indianapolis. What's up, mama?
Get off your chest. I was wondering
I have a question for Angela.
So, how do you feel
about a guy saying
that you can't wear some
type of dress? A guy that's your boyfriend
saying he can't wear some type of dress or some
kind of outfit because he doesn't tell you what you can and can't wear.
That's completely up to you.
So let's get that straight first and foremost.
And that's a silly reason.
Now he could not like something that you wear and he can express himself in that way, but he can't tell you you can't wear it.
So now it's up to you how you react to that.
Do you say, OK, I'm going to do what I want to do and make this stand that I'm going to take so you don't try this in the future?
Or do you say, OK, let me listen to what he's saying and see if there's a valid reason that he feels that way and then we can discuss it.
It's up to you.
OK, well, what is this like?
He doesn't like it because he doesn't want others.
Like, what if you wear it
while you're with him?
Like, it's a dress
with a slit in it,
but he doesn't like the slit.
What's with him going out?
There's nothing he can
really do about it.
It's not really on him.
He should think that
you're his girl
and you're, you know,
you know how to dress
and you look cute.
I don't think that he can tell you what to wear and what not to wear.
That's all.
What's he going to do?
Take you home and say we're not going out anymore?
Do you ever tell him how to dress?
No, not really.
It's just like, I don't know.
It's really weird to me.
We had this discussion like the other day because I wanted to wear a dress.
And he was like, I don't want anybody else to see you in it.
Well, tell him to buy you...
I've seen you in pictures with girls in short shorts and shit.
And I'm like, is that because of me or like what?
Well, tell him to buy you some clothes that he likes then.
Have a good one, mama.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is Jay.
Hey, Jay, get it off your chest.
Hey, how you doing? Good morning, Angelique. Good morning.
DJ Envy, Charlemagne the God.
What's up, bro? Good morning.
Now, Charlemagne, man, I got a bone to pick with you, man. Pick my bone.
Man, matter of fact, it's about
your bone, man. Why you be out here telling people
that you got an average penis, man?
That's a whole lie.
How do you know I don't have an average penis, sir?
Well, you be saying, I don't know, but here's my thing.
What you say is, because you talk about your penis size all the time, sir.
If it is that size that you say.
Tell me my measurements.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Tell me my measurements, sir.
Come on.
Let me know that you listen.
Tell me.
Hey, man.
Look, man, you be talking about it.
All I know is you be saying seven or something, man.
That's all I hear. Seven inches, three-fourth. Eight when it's warm out. All I know is you be saying seven or something, man. That's all I hear.
Seven inches, three-fourth.
Eight when it's warm out.
About two and a half inches of girth, maybe three.
Anything else you need to know?
No, no, no.
That's true.
That's a lot because the world average is about 5.5.
So why you be out here raising women's expectations?
Oh, so you telling me I'm above average?
Hey, man, I'm just telling you the facts, man.
I appreciate you, King.
I needed that boost of confidence this morning. Thank you, King. You know what I'm saying? It's kind of weird, man. I appreciate you, King. I needed that boost of confidence this morning.
Thank you, King.
You know what I'm saying?
It's kind of weird, man.
I appreciate that.
No, it don't sound weird.
That's the problem.
Y'all think stuff like this is weird.
Brothers can have these kind of...
He's raising expectations, man.
That's all I'm saying.
He don't have girls thinking that 7-something and 8-something is average.
That's not true.
Sir, I don't care what girls think because black men don't cheat.
I have a beautiful wife at home.
To me, it's average.
I don't know. I've been hearing about... You know that black men don't cheat? I was a beautiful wife at home. And to me it's average. I've been
hearing about it. Black men don't cheat. I was with my
girl for about a year now, man. So I'm with you on
that. Well, thank you for that confidence
boost this morning, sir. I appreciate you thinking my
penis size is above average. That's real.
I'm just odd that he was thinking about it. But get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.

Peace, King.
How you?
Oh, man.
Nah, I just want to get off my chest, man.
Y'all make me so excited right now.
But, nah, I got this racist manager, man.
I work in a factory, man.
He's a foreman.
You know, and he's giving all the white heads,
white people $2 raises.
He's only giving us $1 raises, man.
I don't know what to do, man.
Driving me nuts, though.
I don't know what to tell you.
Is it literally all the white people
are getting $2 raises?
Yeah.
Like, you know, we put in the work, you know,
and they all go out fishing and all that, you know what I mean?
They don't go out fishing?
Sounds like you might have a class action lawsuit.
Why don't you go to Human Resources?
I don't even know.
Can he go to Human Resources and complain?
Is that where he goes?
I don't know.
No, I don't know.
But, y'all, all I want to know, all I want to say is, y'all,
I'm mad excited right now.
Like, I love y'all, you know what I mean?
Y'all keep it real.
You know, I listen to y'all at work, you know, YouTube and all that, you know what I mean? Y'all keep it real. You know, I listen to y'all at work, you know, YouTube and all that.
You know what I mean?
Thank you, brother.
Yeah, sorry we couldn't help you with, you know, firing your foreman or getting at him.
I don't know.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, what's up?
This is Nikki.
Nikki, what's up?
Get it off your chest, Nikki.
I'm so sad that I didn't know there was a detour on my way to work and I had to drive
all the way around to get to a place that was like right there. Don't you
hate when that happens? I absolutely
hate it. And then you running a little late now
because the detour got you off 10 minutes
and that 10 minutes meant everything to you?
Well, I leave real early, so
I wasn't late.
That just happens to me.
I create a buffer for that.
Alright, thank you, mama. Me too.
Hello, who's this? Markita.
Hey, Markita, get it off your chest. Okay, is Charlamagne
there? Yes, ma'am, I'm here.
I feel like you should be able to pre-record
the yo-yo-yos in the morning. I think
so, too. I feel like it should happen.
I mean, if the contract says 605, then it
is what it is. Exactly. No, he can't
do that. I'm sorry. Why not?
Because it's feeling. It's feeling?
Today should have been a cold yo-yo-yo-yo-yo.
Tomorrow should have been a
this yo-yo. You have different feelings, different expressions.
We don't just want to hear the same yo-yo-yo every day.
Not really. The yo-yo-yo
is what you make it. Right.
And then we can say it with him. So I feel like
he should clean up for us. I think I'm going to do that for you,
boo. Goodbye. Hello, who's this?
I'm not going to get up on Markita like that.
Hello? This is Ben. Hello? Good morning. Morning. Morning. What's who's this? Don't be hanging up on Markita like that. Hello? This is Ben. Hello?
Good morning. Morning. Morning.
What's up, Ben? Good morning.
Yo, why are you guys playing
the Vito song
and the Afrobeat song like it's the only
African song in the world?
You don't like that song? I don't know why Envy keep playing that
same song over and over with all this other
Afrobeat music out here.
There are more African songs like
Sound Cordier
from Ghana
like all this
other African songs.
But you guys can play
like that through Africa.
It's like
when you show up
to like a
like a party
and then they're like
oh you're a black person
so you must like
fried chicken.
Well listen here's the thing
you know
radio
we treat the African
artists the same way
we treat the American
artists.
We play the same
American songs over and over we play the same American songs over and over. We play the same
African songs over and over. Yeah, there's no difference.
Come on. It's just not you guys.
Jopaya.
Jop, Jop, Jopaya.
Yeah, like, come on, man. There's some good
songs from Ghana. Like, you know, good artists
from Ghana. They do just one
BET Award.
You talking about Burner Boy?
Yeah, Burner Boy is okay. We have Burner Boy up here... You talking about Burner Boy? Yeah, Burner Boy
is okay.
We have Burner Boy
up here.
You talking about
somebody else?
Shot the wallet
from Ghana.
Come on, man.
Bro, bro, bro.
We don't pick the records.
That's a lie.
MB picks all the music.
Stop it, man.
People believe it.
They believe that
and they believe
my hair's fake.
Stop it.
It's the truth.
Goodbye, sir.
You have a great weekend.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent,
hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired? Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this. Start your own country.
I planted the flag. I just kind of looked
out of like, this is mine. I own
this. It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of
Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of
Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers
did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God.
What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help. We still have the off-road portion to go.
Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.
That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey guys, I'm Kate Max.
You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going.
That's what my podcast, Post High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into
their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.
You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing
real inspiring stories from the people, you know, follow and admire join me every week for post run
high. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's
lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,
learning to trust herself and leaning into
her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For
self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that
is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Like grace.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.
Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.
Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on
the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, back. She was early today. She wasn't on Rap Artist Time.
She was an hour and a half early.
Why were you so early?
I was early because I'm trying to change the narrative
about big women being late and lazy.
What?
You know what it is?
People say, what's your thing?
Black men don't cheat?
Yes, indeed.
Okay, well, fat bitches don't eat then.
If we telling lies, let's tell them all. Who don't cheat? Yes, indeed. Okay, well, fat bitches don't eat then. If we telling lies, let's tell them all.
Who don't cheat?
I'm playing.
You said who don't cheat.
Listen, black men don't cheat.
We're changing the narrative.
Okay, you're changing it.
Well, I'm changing the narrative
about big bitches.
We don't eat.
We just got this way
because God wants us
to be flumpy and lumpy.
You're not that big,
Yamanika, stop.
I am very curvy
in all the right places.
You got big bosoms. Yes. Heavy breasts,
heavy thighs, but you know,
I cannot deny that I have a gut.
Anytime a man has to lift up the hood
to get in there, you know you a big girl.
Well, I love the outfit.
Thank you. I love the colors.
Yes. Taste the rainbow.
Speaking of tasting the rainbow, how do they lift up the hood?
What do they do? Do they actually grab your stomach and pull you up?
Don't act like you ain't been with no big bitch before.
You know what to do.
Come on now.
You know what to do.
Hold up that Facebook picture.
I made one time.
I did.
One time.
Yeah.
Did you have to lift the hood?
Nah, she laid on the floor.
The thing about big women is big women are more flexible than people think.
Yes, I am very flexible.
Yes.
But if you didn't have to lift up the hood on a big woman,
that's because she was doing a somersault while you were trying to f*** her out.
And then everything just fell down.
What kind of guys do you like, Daddy?
Wait, you didn't put her on the bed? You put her on the floor?
Nah, it was a quickie.
Because we were trying to do it before her father came back home.
It was way back in the day.
I did a weekend in jail and I was just horny.
Her name was, she used to call herself Big Nasty.
You know how she used to have an Big Nasty. Like, you know how
she used to have an airbrush
on the front of her Honda?
I can't.
Let me walk up the street
real quick
and dip off into Big Nasty
since I just spent
this weekend in jail.
Well, anyway,
yeah, Monika,
back to you.
What kind of body frame
do you like
when it comes to guys, though?
Do you have a preference?
Well, skinny guys
normally like me.
Short guys like me. But I don't have a preference when it comes to guys, though. Do you have a preference? Well, skinny guys normally like me. Short guys like me.
But I don't have a preference
when it comes to guys. I am
dealing with a nice, cute little
29-year-old right now.
Okay, y'all looking good.
What race is he? He's black.
He's Haitian. That's even blacker, right?
Yeah, he be putting little s***, you know,
when he be making stews and stuff. I have to make sure it's
really a stew and not him trying to kill me.
But, you know.
Have you posted him on the gram?
I have posted him.
I won't tag him.
Why not?
You don't want the girls to see who he is?
You know, I don't know.
Like, you know, just in case.
I don't want to be out there.
You know what I'm saying?
Like Mary J. Blige put my shit out there.
And then I got to write a song about him because it didn't work out.
Look up Pierre.
Let's see what Pierre look like.
He's very cute.
Should I say his? No, I'm not. My lawyer's here. So I just, you know. I don't work out. Look up Pierre. Let's see what Pierre looks like. He's very cute. Should I say his?
No, I'm not.
My lawyer's here,
so I just, she knows.
I don't see him.
Where did you meet him?
He's a comic.
I'll show you later.
Oh, he's a comic?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's cute.
He's cute.
Is it Will Silvins?
No, I wish it was.
Will would get my body right.
You know, Will is all about health
and raw food
and all that other stuff.
I love Will. Will is great. Will is all about health and raw food. We used to go to his back, sir. I love Will.
Will is great.
Will is great,
but Will has a speech impediment,
so also you don't know
what the hell he's saying.
So it's like,
you want to f*** me out
or you just what?
Okay, but I love Will.
Shout out to Will Savants.
He is amazing.
You're going to be at
the Gramercy Theater
this Friday, right?
Yes, I'm going to be
at the Gramercy Theater.
I'm doing a brand new hour.
Hey, how hard is that to do?
Well, I have a lot of content available.
People don't understand, like, as, you know,
I've been doing comedy for almost 20 years,
even though I'm 12.
And, you know, sometimes it's hard to just get
the spotlight on you to, you know,
sort of raise up in the business.
And then people are like, oh, you some brand new comics.
Like, no, I've been doing this for a long time.
I have a lot of things to say.
So when I did The Degenerates, which is out on Netflix,
that was all my sort of
dirty, raw material. And then
I just had my album come out, Damsel in Distress,
which was sort of like, you know,
who Yamanika is and just wanting to be
vulnerable and kidnapped and
you know, I don't know. Why do you want to be kidnapped?
I want to be kidnapped because I want to get kidnapped.
I mean, why should all the other girls have
fun? So you want somebody to grab you, throw you in the back of the truck?
You should just be 90 Day Fiance.
Ugh.
You know I do commentary on that show. I know. That's why I said it
because me and you are both into that show.
I'm so into 90 Day Fiance,
but I have to be real.
Don't none other country want me.
You understand what I'm saying? So I couldn't do it the other way
because I would just get they whole shit together.
And they ain't got time for that.
What's your favorite couple from 90 Day Fiancé?
I like Azen because he doesn't like the girl Nicole.
I think it's Azen and Nicole because he's been trying to get her to lose weight.
And let me just say this.
Ladies, if you with the man and he's like, I can fix you, leave that.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast
Club. We're still kicking it with Yamanika
Saunders. Yee. Yes, Yamanika. I remember
I was laughing so hard. I seen you

Rawlings show at Caroline's. Now, you were supposed to go
on later, but you went on early because you
actually had to leave and go to another gig.
Shout out to Donnell. I love him. Y'all be giving him such
a hard time, but I love him.
Donnell Rawlings. I love him. And letall be giving him such a hard time. Who is that? I love him. Donnell Rollins. I love him.
I don't know who that is.
And let me just say this.
He opened up for you?
He opened up for you?
No, he did not open up for me.
I heard he steals jokes.
Donnell is a notorious fat shamer.
Notorious.
He's never fat shamed me.
Yes, he is.
Envy has a real estate partner named Caesar.
Are you getting ready to pull up?
I am.
I saw that about you.
The one that he said looked like.
God damn it.
He started it.
I deleted it
but he did look like Big Pun though
I adore you
I want to get a house from you
whenever I can afford it
I want you to flip some shit
but what is you flipping something
ain't it houses
every time I see you doing something

You're working at Monty P on the weekends?
I thought you sold houses too.
I'm confused.
What the fuck are you doing?
I thought you sold houses.
I buy houses.
I fix them.
And I rent them out.
Oh, you rent them out.
I rent them out.
He can help you buy a home.
He can help you buy a home.
I'm not a realtor.
I'm trying to encourage people to buy homes and to create generational wealth. You should become a realtor.
Okay, but I'm trying to figure out because you got the home and you're trying to make money off the home.
And you're making money off the home.
Yes, ma'am.
So you're selling homes.
I'm selling rooms or apartments.
Oh, you're doing SROs.
Yeah, I'm keeping it.
Oh, you're the slumlord.
I'm not the slumlord.
You're the slumlord.
Oh, man.
You're selling rooms. I'm keeping it. Oh, you're the slumlord. I'm not the slumlord. You can't be the slumlord. I'm selling rooms.
I'm selling apartments.
Okay, so now it's apartments.
You said rooms, and now it's apartments.
It's apartments.
It's like four family units, so I sell units.
Oh, you got four families worth of shit living under one roof?
Oh, my God.
Does the government know?
Anyway, I want one of the homes.
I don't care what it is. Give me a family. I don't have one. I'm not one of the homes. I don't care what it is.
Give me a family.
I don't have one.
I'm not selling family either.
So you're a foster care program also?
I'm not selling families.
Because you're selling homes and families?
What kind of s*** is this?
This Django Unchained s*** going on here?
Okay, so I'm going to leave that alone, but I do, I adore you.
Thank you so much for everything that you've done.
I'm trying to encourage people to buy homes and to invest in themselves so they can always
have property instead of continue to rent.
By investing in you and putting money in your pocket.
No, no, no, no.
Oh, no, no, no.
Just don't act like you're not making money.
I'm just at the point where I'm making money, right?
I'm trying to encourage people to invest.
See, Ted, are you making money?
No, not in me.
I'm bringing credit repair people. lenders, agents, attorneys,
so people know how to do it the right way without getting got.
But they got to get got by you before they don't get got by me.
So he got by in me.
First of all, his team is straight as hell, so tell me right now,
he getting money, okay?
Man, you are crazy, Yamanita.
I'm still missing the same team I was missing when I came here.
I need somebody to help me make it.
Oh, my God, Yamanita.
I'm going to flip homes now.
Give me the surrogate that I was going to get.
I need you to help me get a family.
You got the young boy now.
He can shoot your club up.
Well, I hope so, but, you know, the club's getting about to close down.
You want to have kids? I want to have kids, but I got to have them because now, But, you know, the club's getting about to close down. You want to have kids?
I want to have kids, but I got to have them.
Because now, because, you know, when you get in your 40s, they start saying, well, you better hurry up and have a baby before the baby handicap.
And I'm like, damn.
That's an old school thing.
That ain't true no more.
But that's what they do.
They still telling women that.
And I don't care if the baby's handicapped because I have people in my family that are handicapped.
I would love that handicapped baby.
Plus, it's going to come with a sticker.
We can park wherever we want.
So that baby, I need that baby because I like to park up front.

Okay, so I can relate to Steve for the simple fact that it may not be that Steve can't get none.

So I want my number to go up for, like, something mediocre.
I want it to be spectacular, so maybe just, you know what I mean?
So, Steve, is it the same thing?
You don't want mediocre penis?
I don't want mediocre penis.

I am an older lady, but can I first start off saying, Charlamagne, I love you.
I love you too, baby.
I love all.
You have no idea.
Now, how old are you?
I love all you guys, but Charlamagne, I love you.
I am an invalid, so.
A what?
An invalid.
I'm an invalid.
What does that mean?
I can't get out the house.
I don't get out the house.
I can't walk. the house. I don't get out the house. I can't walk.
So you are my practice.
Oh, your what?
I love you in the morning, Charlamagne.
I don't know.
When you're not there, I don't even know what you're saying.
It's not about Charlamagne.
It's about Steve.
I love you too, baby.
I'm married.
You sound perfect for Steve.
And I'm old enough to be your grandmother.
But I'm just letting you know. I'm not talking about sexual love.
I'm talking about love.
Oh, I love you too.
Love for a young brother that's just doing what he do, and I'm proud of you.
Well, thank you, baby.
I'm here for you.
I'll give you all the emotional love you need, and I think my wife would understand.
Steve needs the love too.
Now, you said
that you haven't had sex in three years?
No, I did. My husband
got sick, and
I love
my husband, and
I didn't care how long it took for him
to get better. My knees
could wait until
he satisfied them.
Did he get better? He got better for two years
and then he passed away.
So, and during all of this time
I still haven't had sex.
It's been now about six years.
Do you want to have sex?
Right now, I think I'm just getting over this.
Got you, got you.
So you're still grieving
and you're getting out of that grief stage
and then once you get out of that grief stage,
you'll be ready to get your groove back just a little bit.
Yeah, because we was together for 30 years.
I understand.
I understand.
And, you know, it does take that time, you know.
But, oh, yeah, I'm going back in there.
Okay.
Okay.
There we go.
Okay.
Hopefully you find a man that's not married that's something like me.
That's what I'm looking for.
But you and your wife, no, let her know.
I'm not coming at you like that.
I'm just coming at you as a black woman proud of a black man.
I appreciate you, baby.
Thank you very much.
And I love you.
I love you more.
Charlemagne, you're my dude.

But you know
She ain't interested in Steve
Alright

66 okay
Charlamagne likes him
That age too but
No I'm not going like that
I'm a married man
But I do
I do I do love you, boo.
I respect you.
Do you feel sorry for Steve at all?
Because he's not an invalid
and he can't walk.
Yes, I do.
Yeah, nobody died in his life.
At least you have reasons.
Go ahead and get that, dude.
Oh, my God.
Because, you know,
you're very handsome
and Steve is a handsome dude.
You've seen Steve?
Steve has no excuse
not to get laid, though, right, ma?
No, he don't.
I don't see where no man has an excuse not to get laid.
Exactly.
You know, not just Steve, any man.
You got to be kind of a loser, right, when you like.
Okay.
Something's got to be wrong with you.
Something's got to be.
Exactly.
I feel you.
This is not helping Steve. I feel you, baby.
I feel you.
Thank you, Mama.
That's all.
You know, come on now.
You know, you're a man.
Steve.
That's what a man is.
That's what a man is, Steve.
Thank you.
This is it.
He's not listening anymore.
Thank you.
I love you.
Thank you.
Do you have Charlamagne's books?
Thank you, Charlamagne.

I'm going to mail you something, okay?
Thank you.
Hold on one second.
Steve, I just want you to know that she's an invalid who can't walk, whose husband died.
She hasn't had sex in three years because of those reasons.
And she feels sorry for you.
800-585-1051.
You should be ashamed of yourself, Steve.

The Breakfast Club, good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
A whole legend.
That's right, Uncle Snoop Snoop
Was heading in breakfast club the O double G was happening my brother. I'm slow motion with the potion trying to get to the ocean
I'm still having fun. I did a pool party
weekend and I
Tycoon party 50 cents tycoon party. I say you still have so much fun. He was in everybody's section
He was chasing Trey song down with water, hitting Casanova with water guns,
wife and Lucci.
He even made 50 Cent smoke.
He didn't get Wendy Williams in the party, though.
He got 50 to smoke?
I didn't have that much plug.
But I was able to get a picture with her
at the entrance of the party.
Oh, so you took a picture
and then left her outside the party?
When was I supposed to get her?
Wow, not even she's with me.
I was leaving.
No, that's one. I was trying to figure out how the snoopers are.
I told you that was on the way out.
I was the last rapper to leave.
That's what I found out.
I'm having so much fun.
I'm just partying.
You know, 50 left two hours ago.
I'm supposed to get out of here.
I was driving because of Cora.
I was having it.
And I had to figure out how to get out of there.
Did she ask you, like, yo, can you get me in?
Nah, it wasn't even that conversation.
It wasn't even like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I didn't even put one plus one together.
The 150 was not, like, cool.
I was just on somebody.
Hey, how you doing?
Wendy, good to see you.
How about that?
Boom, boom, bam.
All right, I'm out.
And then I see it on Instagram later.
Oh, oh, oh, wow.
Right.
Oh, my bad.
I feel like you know everything that's going on, too.
I could have slid her my little wristband. I had on, like, yeah. If she'd have asked you know everything that's going on, too. I could have slid her in my little wristband.
I had on like, yeah.
If she'd have asked you to gave it to her.
I would have gave it to her.
You know when you leave and you're going to give it to somebody,
you can have that.
It's all good.
Tie it back up.
It feels so good to see you having so much fun like that,
especially in New York.
Because at one time, it was just so much.
It was tension.
Tension.
Tension and beef.
I mean, if y'all would have seen Stu, it just made me smile
because he's running from section to section, no security.
You were just having a good time.
So how does it feel to be able to just enjoy life?
That's the love I'm getting.
They're giving me that.
When you weren't getting it, you weren't out like that.
But if you're getting it and you're feeling it, you got to go give it back.
And I felt like New York always loved me.
I just felt like it was a miscommunication and a misunderstanding at a certain
point. But I always maintained my
understanding with them because I stayed in their face.
And I gave it to them when I told them how I felt
about certain situations and they respected that.
So now that I'm able to become a grown
man and really look at the rap
game for what it's worth, I can come have
fun with my nephews and party like the cool uncle
that shows up and be like, man, my uncle
is here. Man, you know my uncle, the one that live with my grandmama in the garage.
Oh, he's got the good weed, got the cologne,
got the CDs. Him, he here.
What else is great is that you also have no issues
with anybody. And you have the song Let Bygones
Be Bygones, which we talked about up here on The Breakfast Club.
And even a song like One Blood,
One Cuts, just having peace
around you and serenity and having let all these
things from the past go.
And people were shocked when they heard you say me and Shug is cool you know they're like wow how could you be cool after
everything that y'all went through but you explained it very well i wasn't meant to clash
with him we came out together it's just it's like brothers like sometime you and your brother your
sister y'all get into it and you be mad for a little bit but it's like man that's my brother
man you know even if you was wrong or he was wrong, it becomes a place in your heart where you're like,
I need to forgive him and I need to forgive myself,
even if I wasn't wrong.
Now, did you come to that conclusion about forgiveness
when you was working on your gospel album?
I think that helped me, like, shape my vision
and shape what I'm here for.
Because the gospel record was something that just came to me overnight.
Like, my grandmother had passed away, and I was like,
she always loved gospel music,
and she could never listen to any of my songs.
So I was like, man, I feel bad that my grandmama
got a famous grandson, and she can't quote
none of my songs or none of that.
And I'm like, I gotta do something for her.
So when I did it, it tapped into my whole love thing
with, like, this is who I am.
I've always been cool, and the life of the party,
and Snoop Dogg is, like, cool with everybody.
He ain't, like, got no issues. And if it is an an issue you'll call me to end the issue so now I'm taking on
the role of this is what I'm supposed to do all the time I want to thank you the 20th album when
you said that in your acceptance speech did you know beforehand you was gonna name your album
that no I didn't even know I was gonna say that in the speech I was uh I had nothing prepared uh
Dr. Dre Quincy Jones when spoke, it was touching to me
because it's like I'm still a little kid inside.
I'm still a fan of hip-hop and a fan of what I do,
and I can't believe I've done so much.
And to see them up there speaking for me, so now it's my turn to speak.
I'm very unprepared, but I'm a great freestyler.
So it's like, you know what?
I'm just going to put something together for my heart.
And by the time I got to the end, it was like I didn't thank everybody
in my life except me. And I feel like I deserve to the end, it was like, I didn't thank everybody in my life except me.
And I feel like I deserve some of this credit too.
Not being selfish, but being
self-respective of myself and loving
myself and appreciating what I do
so that way I won't have a crisis or be
feeling like I need somebody's confirmation
in order to keep moving. So in that
moment you realized I gotta start thanking myself?
I think that's probably what happened because
you know, when you're doing what you're doing,
you don't really never get caught up with what you're doing.
I was explaining this to one of my little homies.
He was like, man, you done done this and done that.
I'm like, man, check it out, cuz.
How could I watch my highlights when I got a game to play tomorrow?
I don't know what I done.
Because I'm so busy trying to do something else.
When I'm on stage now, just to give y'all a game,
I got a teleprompter up there.
Because I don't even remember half
of the s*** I said.
I mean, you've been high
for a long time, Snoop.
I need help.
I don't want to be up there not knowing my words and s***.
So it's like, I'm looking down and, okay, there's
I got that line on.
I'm on the news with this s***. You know what I'm saying?
So new records or old records? Old records,
Charlamagne. So like Jimmy Jules? You don't know Jimmy Jules?
I know that, but it may be a record that the fans
want to hear that I ain't said in like
22 years. And I'd be like, man, my mind
be like...
How about that? Boom. And I see it and I click on.
So Snoop, did you see the conversation when Glasses Malone
was up here? About Tupac and Snoop Dogg?
Yes, sir. He said from 92 to 96,
Snoop was the biggest star
in pocket and it wasn't even close.
You got to look at it like where Tupac was at.
He was on Interscope, and they really wasn't pushing him
and giving him that.
His record was always dope as ****.
He always had the best records, the hottest songs.
But if his label wasn't giving him the attention
and the push that Death Row had,
he wasn't looked at as big as me.
But in my eyes, he was always big as me or bigger than me.
He was out before me.
I actually got him two death
roll records should go get cuz he need to be with us if you notice the source awards when we perform
at that night when snoop said all that and should said all that yep it was a mannequin or a poster
of tupac in a cell everybody had a cell tupac's was in a, but he wasn't even on death row. He wasn't even a thought of
our being on death row. That was me saying,
I want Cub to be with us. I want New York to see that
we got Cub back. Because we was hearing stories
about things that was happening to him
in jail. And we was like, we couldn't do
nothing to help him. So I'm telling
Suge, look, we need to go put Cubs on our team.
So when Suge gonna make the deal happen
to get him with us, I step and play
the backseat.
Death Row was mine.
I moved out the way, told my little cousin Daz,
hook Cuz up, give him all the beats he was going to give me.
Dre gave him California love.
California love was Dr. Dre's song.
We catered to Cuz because we love him. We was friends with Tupac.
Suga didn't have no relationship with Tupac before Death Row.
Really?
He was my friend.
Wow.
Yeah, know that.
Then they became friends because Sge was the boss and that's
what Suge do. He treats you like
a king. And he gave him
everything and he deserved it. He didn't get when he was on
Interscope. And then he's watching everything
that I got. I got a Rolls Royce. I got
a penthouse. I got a big house. He's in the
penitentiary. He don't have none of this. So when he
get out, me and him bonding, we becoming
best of friends. And we even.
Nobody's bigger than nobody. I'm finna move out
the way and let you come in and get
all yours. I'm working with Dogfather, but
Dogfather can wait. If he look good,
we look good. Some people
say the best and worst thing that happened to Pac
was death row, though. It was.
It was because
the influence. He didn't realize how much influence
he had, but he was very influenced by it.
Hold on, Stu.
You're holding your hands up a little too much, player.
There you go.
Oh, you want to give me some lotion?
Yeah.
Damn, nigga, you gave me the whole mother...
I don't want to kill you.
You know how they be all life.
I don't want to give a fuck about them talking about me online.
Nigga, when you work hard, your hands is ashy.
I never knew a nigga
that had nothing to do
with his hands
didn't look like this.
All right, we got more
with Snoop.
When we come back,
don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy,
Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it
with Snoop, Charlamagne.
It had to be tough
to write One Blood,
though, One Cuz,
because that was kind of
about Nip, too, right?
It took me a minute because I was still trying to translate his death,
like the massacre, like that really broke my heart.
So it was like it was kind of hard trying to go in there
and try to write something with a spirit of, you know,
how do I celebrate him feeling like I'm feeling?
How do I represent him in a light that's going to make the most sense?
So it was like what he's still for was stopping the gang violence.
So I wanted to make a record, first of all, giving him love
and then showing what his spirit was about
and then translating his spirit into a song
that could be the reason that we should do it in his vein.
It's to not kill and not bang and not rot on each other
because if you're doing it, you're doing exactly what Nipsey don't want you to do.
You compare Nipsey to Jesus.
Yeah.
Look at the impact that he had.
You know what I'm saying?
Like the same impact that Jesus had.
Like a lot of people didn't know him, but they sure wanted to know about him once he passed away.
And then once they found out about him, they understood what his legacy was about.
Now his legacy is living even bigger with him not being here.
It's only been about four months.
Have you found any purpose in his death?
I don't really understand death, and I never did.
You don't become numb to it, but it's like it's a feeling of,
okay, all right, I guess it's what it's supposed to be.
And, you know, you try to look at why were they here?
What did they do when they was here?
And why did I know them?
And what am I supposed to take from their death and their life?
And that's what I do because, like, how was I close to Tupac?
How was Biggie my friend?
How was Nipsey my friend?
And they're all not here no more, and I share special moments with them
that I'll never speak about, some personal things with us
that may have been clashing, may have been love,
but you'll never know about, and I feel like God put them in my life for a reason
because they were impactful in hip-hop,
just like I'm impactful.
I feel like what I'm doing is what Biggie and Tupac and Nipsey
definitely would be doing if they were alive.
I want to ask you one more question about death
because you have seen a lot of people around you pass away.
And, you know, Nipsey always referred to himself
as the Tupac of his generation.
You knew both of them.
So is that an accurate comparison?
I think it's very accurate because the spirit that Nipsey had
was the spirit Tupac had as far as
being up close and personal with the people
and just trying to
give back. I think Nipsey
did what Tupac couldn't do. I think he was
the extension. Like if you run in a 440 relay
and you pass the baton, I think
the spirit of Tupac was
Nipsey. Like, the seed that he planted. I think
he said something about... I may not change the world,
but I'll plant the seed that
puts a spark in somebody who will. That quote right there
is Nipsey. He's a spark.
Now, I also see you're going to be on Angie Martinez's
show, The Untold Stories of Hip Hop.
Yeah. So, do you have a whole
lot of untold stories that one day you feel like
you might... Hold on, because Ja Rule
hit me today. You might tell those stories.
Ja Rule said, Envy,
the show is dope, but Snoop's stories,
wow. I can imagine.
What? Well, we don't want to give it up, but...
Yes, we do.
Oh, no, you don't want to give up.
Yes, come on. Work with Angie.
Yes, we do.
I'm not telling y'all nothing. Angie's my friend.
Y'all my friends, too, so I'm not going to get in the middle of this mess.
But is there a plan for you to tell a lot of those untold stories at some point?
Yeah, yeah, with a Snoop Dogg life story.
The biopic.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, from Vietnam to death row.
That's what it's going to be called?
Mm-hmm.
Why from Vietnam to death row?
Because my father was in Vietnam in 1968,
and the life expectancy for a black male was 16.4 seconds,
and he actually made it out of there.
He got shot three times.
He's a Purple Heart vet, and I was born in 1971.
So with that being said, I wasn't supposed to get past Vietnam.
Wow.
Is that death row movie still happening after Straight Outta Compton?
They kept saying, we're doing a death row movie next.
I never had nothing to do with that
as far as a Death Row movie.
They couldn't do it without you, though, I would imagine.
I'm worried about the Snoop Dogg
life story, because there's too many versions that's been out there
that's been, like, almost right,
close to it, similar.
It's time for somebody to tell the story
from the perspective of the eyes of the inside.
Like, even with Suge Knight's side
of it, like, they don't tell his story the right way.
They always just show the bad things that he's doing.
That ain't cool. That ain't fair.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Even though he was like a monster at a certain point,
but that's not fair.
That's not all what he was about.
Right.
He was the one that sparked that Mother's Day thing
and giving back to the community
and, you know, us getting active in the community.
He showed us that.
We didn't know how to do that.
And like I say, what the industry fails to realize,
if it wasn't for him, half of you rappers wouldn't even have no label
or have the control that y'all got right now
because it was a pimp hole industry back before he came out.
And usually you'd be the hole because you was the rapper.
And it happened to some of the greatest rappers ever,
some of the biggest rappers ever.
But when he came out, he helped shape a different look to what he had to look at a little bit differently.
Like, oh, we can't treat him like that.
He may be like Suge Knight, or he may be like, we don't want to rub him wrong.
Is he friends with Suge Knight?
And then they start giving up better deals, and they start respecting the craft of we have to respect them.
We can't just do them like we did the black artists in the 50s and the 60s and the 70s and the 80s.
And that's facts.
When you and Suge spoke, did he have remorse for those times
when you said there was a period of time
when things he did was like a monster?
Did he show remorse for that?
Did you guys have remorse for each other
for how you treated each other?
I don't think he ever said, I'm sorry,
because that ain't in his nature, but I know what he meant.
Like, our conversation let me know we gravy.
Like, I'll share this with you.
When we spoke in the room one-on-one for the first time, that was kind of like, where did y'all speak?
In a hotel in Vegas.
A hotel in Vegas.
And it was spontaneous.
It wasn't no plan.
It was just like, he seen me, I seen him.
I was like, what's happening?
What's up?
All right.
We need to holler.
Yeah, we do need to holler.
I'm leaving my security out here.
I mean, you can go in the room and chop it up.
We need to figure this out.
We got understanding.
We exchanged numbers.
Started communicating.
Then he got locked up.
Still communicated with him.
And we wanted to just tape the conversation just because I wanted to tape it.
As soon as we get on the phone,
that's what he say. Oh, you working out now? I tried to get you to work out years ago. You know I wouldn't listen to you, cuz. I don't be listening to nobody telling me how to work out. Look at my,
look at, let's listen to my tone. Oh, you think you buff now, huh? I ain't buff. I'm just trying
to live better now. Oh, that's good. From there, we going to, his mother passed away.. I'm just trying to live better now. It's good.
From there, we're going to his mother passed away.
So I'm like, I'm sorry about your mom.
He like, man, that lady loves you.
I loved her too, man.
Your mom was a special woman, man.
She loves you, man.
She always.
So that to me is like saying that we passed that.
You don't have to tell me you saw it.
We talking now.
We had a point that we could never get to And once we start communicating
We gonna have more fun conversation
Remember when we was hanging out
You did that
Remember when Pac did this
Remember when you told me to go get Pac
Yeah
Cause remember dog
You told me to go get him
Because I wasn't listening to him
And you told
Why
See this is humbling for me
To hear him say this
I knew it But I never never was going to be like,
oh, I'm the one that told him.
No, you say it.
Plus, what's understood don't need to be said between two people.
Absolutely.
I always wondered,
do you think him and Dre would ever come to an understanding?
Uh-uh.
That ain't happening.
You said that fast.
That ain't happening at all?
Did Dre say anything to you?
Like, man, why do you even care about forgiveness with this guy?
Dre know me.
This is who I am.
This is Snoop Dogg.
This is the Snoop Dogg he knew from day one.
Like, I'm for the people, man.
I ain't for that mess.
I'm trying to make love and make people happy.
To me, what I'm doing is going to get them to the point that they can talk.
Because you got to be somebody who got to take that first step to be like,
it ain't that bad. Come on be like, it ain't that bad.
Come on, cuz.
It ain't that bad.
All right, we got more with Snoop
when we come back.
Let's get to a Snoop mini mix.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
That was a Snoop Dogg mini mix.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy,
Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Snoop Dogg is here.
You smoke in every city, right?
No matter where you at,
no matter what town it is,
the continent, the country, the studio.
I ain't smoked up here yet.
Yes, you have.
So I can smoke right now.
Look at this.
She's trying to stop me right now.
But we all got in trouble for that.
So that means we don't want to get in trouble again.
Before you came in here, they said, who's going to tell Snoop no if he decides he wants to smoke?
I didn't know we got into trouble until just now.
I'm different now, y'all.
I'm grown.
I'm not the little kid that used to come up here and be in.
I'm f***ing breaking the rules because I can't.
I think that was like last year.
I think that was like last year, Snoop.
I don't do that, Penn.
They don't do nothing for me.
You know that s***.
Don't tease me.
I'm going to get hot.
So where do you get your smoke from when you go to?
You carry it with you or you just have people in every.
I can't tell you that s***.
Then I'm going to get in trouble, man.
But I got my license
and it means that I can move anywhere
and all the time because I'm medical. You know, I'm
sick, man. I need that.
I wanna ask you about...
New Booty.
What's that song about? Let me tell you.
Who y'all thought I was talking about?
He was so excited.
Who he thought I was talking about? Man getting raped. I didn't know who you was talking about, thought I was talking about? So all the men came in this morning and were like, Snoop got a booty about men getting raped.
Is that what he said?
I didn't know who you were talking about, but I was like,
why did you want to write that?
He said that this morning.
Why did Snoop write that?
Let me tell you that.
Because it's a real story.
That doesn't happen.
It is.
But the terminology new booty is a new square in jail.
Like somebody that's going to jail for the first time,
and they've never been in that environment,
and it's a new experience for them.
So it's like you're a new booty.
It wasn't about me taking the booty,
but that is a part of the process
if you come in there too hard, too tough,
not knowing the circumstances.
There are men in there that are designed to do that.
That ain't coming home,
that they looking at you as they girlfriend.
Please Johnson. Oh boy.
Booty was more important than
a drink of water. I like booty.
They're going to cut that up
on the internet.
So that song is about somebody
in particular. It's about a lot of people
in particular. It's about entertainers. It's somebody in particular It's about a lot of people in particular It's about entertainers, it's about athletes
It's about people who
Get successful and join a gang
So you heard stories about dudes getting
Tossed up in jail like entertainers
But at the end, it's a guy screaming at the end of the record
Saying what the homies gonna think about this
It can happen man
Didn't they say Suuga had booty warriors?
They said Suga had dudes on deck that week.
Ray J said that at one time.
Man, look here. I'm talking about the great things he did.
I don't know nothing about the bad things.
I told y'all about
I'm not a part of the bad things.
Ray J was like, stop saying I used the word booty warrior.
He said booty goons.
Booty goons.
Ray J was with Defro at the time when I had left.
So I don't know what the hell was going on with him.
He was like, when I was there, it was just shooting.
Yeah, it was just shooting and slapping and kicking and tying niggas up.
Yeah, I got your mama over here.
Yo, mama!
Mama!
Now, what was it?
You were tying people's mouths up?
No, I'm just playing. Oh! Like, what was it? It was time to do Mama's Up? No, I'm just playing.
Oh.
Like, what?
Don't do it.
It wasn't that bad.
What does Coach Snoop think about the NFL and Jay-Z and Roc Nation?
Well, Coach Snoop don't know the intricacies of that.
He don't know the dynamics of that.
But what I would have loved to have seen was somebody really asking Roger Goldell a question of,
why did y'all blackball Colin Kaepernick?
I did ask him that.
I didn't hear it.
They edited it.
I didn't hear it.
I'll send you the audio, though.
That ain't good.
What was his answer?
He said, we're not blackballing Kaepernick.
Any owner can sign Kaepernick whenever they want to.
That ain't the answer I was looking for.
You blackballing him.
Period.
Ain't no in-betweens to that.
They shut him down.
That's why they settled with him.
To me, I wouldn't have settled.
Word.
I would have went all the way to the wheels fall off to where they would have had to give me a billion dollars.
Then I would have settled.
But other than that, it wouldn't have been about the money.
It would have been about the calls and the stand for everything.
And instead of Jay-Z, he should have been there.
Like, let me be the one.
Some of them want to push in the calls.
Let me actually be in the room with y'all to put in my input
because I'm the one that started this awareness thing.
Not to try to get credit, but just to give you my input on something that I created.
I created the awareness for this.
Did Stephen A. Smith say some teams reached out to him and tried to sign him?
Yeah, they said he had a few offers from the Seahawks, the Ravens.
Prove it.
Yeah, and then they said, I know they did ask him to be on that council,
not the one, the same council that Jay-Z had,
Malcolm Jenkins started a couple years ago,
the Impact Jam.
And now they clashing.
You got certain NFL players that's clashing.
They don't like what's going on,
because it's, see, what people don't understand
is coming from hip-hop,
we don't have no commissioner.
We don't have no rules and regulations and structure.
So now you bringing in somebody who's from hip-hop and the drug world
into your structure.
It's going to be a problem if he don't get control.
Because if he don't get control, everybody's going to start throwing rocks at Jay-Z.
Like, oh, he ain't do nothing.
Like they tried to do in the beginning.
Like, why y'all going at him?
He trying to help.
But if he do get control,
then the NFL is over
because there's going to be some real black owners.
That's right.
Because we getting smart now.
I don't want to hear that minority ownership.
Can a n***a own a whole team?
Because Floyd had the money.
Oprah had the money.
They tried to buy the Clippers.
They froze them.
Who tried to buy the Clippers?
Floyd, Oprah.
There's a bunch of m****s
who tried to buy the Clippers
when the owner went bad. Blacks got their money together like, we want to buy this.ippers? Floyd, Oprah. There's a bunch of motherfuckers trying to buy the Clippers. When the owner went bad,
blacks got their money together
like, we want to buy this.
No, you don't.
Okay, how much money y'all got?
Y'all not owning nothing.
Even Michael Jordan,
he don't own that team.
Only reason I think he got that
is because he was a black owner previously.
Bob Johnson.
That's why.
But do he own it?
Yeah, he majority owned it.
I thought he was majority owned.
What does that mean?
I don't know.
I don't like that majority, minority. Check
this out. These clothes I got on,
these motherfuckers is mine.
I own these motherfuckers. You know what I'm saying?
Give me no minority, majority. What does that
mean? He definitely owned the Bobcats.
Him and who else? I don't know.
Because I seen Nelly with the rings. He was
part owner. I seen... Yeah, Nelly is part
owner. I'm with the Cavs. I'm with the Lakers.
They still ain't gave me a goddamn ring,
and I've done way more than this.
But I just don't understand why people choose their sides.
We should want Jay-Z's shit to work,
and we should want Cap to be on the team.
Like, I don't see why people choose their sides.
But that's the mentality of Willie Lynch.
He broke us mentally with that mentality
where you have to pick and choose.
You can't be together.
That's why we have to do things to break that mentality
to be like, you know what?
We're embracing Jay-Z, and we're embracing the NFL.
Now what?
Because there was someone chasing me around all day yesterday,
a little white dude with a little camera.
Hey, Snoop, what do you feel about Jay-Z and the NFL thing?
I'm not answering. I showed up somewhere else. Here have been Jay-Z. Hey, Snoop, what do you feel about Jay-Z and the NFL thing? I'm not answering.
I showed up somewhere
and I was like,
here's a nigga coming again.
Hey, Snoop,
what's going on?
What do you feel about Jay-Z
and the NFL thing?
You asked me that
one more time
and I'm going to hit you
in the head with a football.
F*** up my face.
See, that's why
you need booty rules.
Snoop, we appreciate you
for coming in
and joining on 67% of the Bobcats.
That's a lot.
Somebody hit you with that?
I just Googled it.
60.
That ain't enough.
If that was THC, you'd be high as a mother.
My THC got to be at least 80.
There you go.
Well, Snoop, we appreciate you for joining us.
Hey, Charlamagne got a hit, man.
You got that Black Man Don't Cheat, man.
You got a hit song.
That's the wall record.
But I'm saying you own it, though.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You make it go.
You make it go.
I appreciate that.
Ask Charlamagne what his rap name was when he first started rapping.
That don't matter.
What was your rap name when you first started?
Dizzy Van Winkle.
Dizzy Van Winkle.
Sounds like New Berlin.
That sounds like Rob Van Winkle's little brother.
And Rob Van Winkle is Vanilla Ice.
How do you feel about that concept, black men don't cheat?
It's cool.
No, I love it.
I really embrace it.
I love it.
Good answer.
I love it.
I love that concept because it's like somebody had to put it out there.
You know what I'm saying?
Tell the truth.
Stop lying on us.
That's wrong.
Exactly.
It's just a concept.
Especially us married men.
Yeah, stop lying on us.
Put it out there.
Now, little black boys cheat.
They do, but black men don't cheat.
There you go.
Now, when I was a boy.
Bitches ain't **** but hoes and tricks.
Oh, my goodness.
It's Snoop Dogg.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Let's all be a donkey.
Because right now you want some real donkey.
It's time for donkey of the day.
So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey man Hit me with the heat
Did she get donkey in the name please
I have become donkey
Of the day
At the breakfast club bitches
Donkey of the day
Goes to the man known throughout the world
Is Wendy Williams husband
Soon to be Wendy Williams ex-wife
Kelvin Hunter his government name is Kelvin
They call him Kevin personally I just thank God That I haven't had to call him in 10-plus years.
Now, let the record show I love, value, and appreciate all black men out there.
In fact, I love people, period.
But it's only two people on this planet I don't give a damn about,
and Kelvin Hunter is one of them.
I don't have time to tell you all the backstory between me and that guy.
You can go buy my New York Times bestselling book, Black Privilege,
to get the origin story.
In a nutshell, I worked with
and sometimes lived with Kelvin Hunter and Wendy
Williams. That period was about four years of my life,
so I am very well-versed on the subject
of Kelvin Hunter. Now, if you want to know why
I don't rock with Kelvin Hunter anymore,
I have told you all that we stopped
communicating in February of 2010
because he got upset that his mistress, now
baby mama, Sharina Hudson, a.k.a.
Nikki from Columbia, South Carolina, dropped on a clues box for the 803.
He got upset because he thought I was trying to hook his mistress up with my homeboy, Wax.
Think about that.
Big, grown-ass, married Negro from Brownsville, Brooklyn, supposed to be some thorough-ass
hood dude, upset because he thinks I'm trying to hook his side chick up with my homeboy.
Does that not make him a grade- A sucker? A clown of legendary proportions. Now,
the reason I've never had no smoke for Wendy is number one, I feel sorry for her because she was
an abused woman on various levels. And two, I know Kelvin didn't go to Wendy and say, yeah,
we don't rock with Charlamagne anymore because he tried to hook his side chick up with my homeboy.
So you just chalk that up to the game, keep it moving.
So after February of 2010, I stopped communicating with him and continued to live my life like
it was gold.
He never paid this dude any mind.
But from the time I started doing the Breakfast Club in various times over the past nine years,
any chance he's gotten to take a shot at me or kick my back in a block of bag or an
opportunity.
Oh, he's took it.
Envy, do you remember when we first started the Breakfast Club
nine years ago? Yes. Did Kevin Hunter
not reach out to you? Yes, he did.
What did he say? He said you were
a fake, a backstabber, disloyal,
a sucker, short,
and gay. Shut up.
He said all of that.
I knew you was going to add something.
I just knew it. I told you what he said to me, right?
What did he say to you? I ran into him and Wendy at an event.
It was before I even knew we were doing the Breakfast Club.
Okay.
I never told you this story?
I don't remember.
And I ran into them, and this was before we even had the Breakfast Club.
This is when I had an offer to do a morning show in Philly.
Okay.
And he said, I heard you got an offer in Philly.
They said, don't take that offer.
Wait for New York.
And then he said, watch out for Charlamagne, though, because he can't be trusted.
And he is, what do they say?
They said that all you care
about is yourself and that he'll stab you in the back.
Oh, okay.
And that you're short and gay. Shut up!
See, I'm waiting.
I know it was coming!
I knew it was coming! Anyway.
And it's not that short.
All of that is true, except for the gay part.
It was a producer who wanted to do a TV show with me once.
He wanted to do it through Dead Ball Mercury, which is the production company.
One of these daytime talk shows syndicated through.
Kev blocked that, but I knew that was going to happen.
I remember once he called my cousin Dana,
spoke to my cousin Dana to threaten me physically for no damn reason at all.
What I'm trying to tell you is,
this man has actively tried to take my head off
every chance he gets,
but last year, it got really bad.
See, if anyone wants to know
why I really don't rock with Calvin Hunter,
look no further than to interview his former artist
who lived with him all last year
named Avion Foster, did with Tasha K.
Now, if you don't know who Avion is,
he's a singer who used to be signed to Calvin,
and he claims he was sexually abused by Calvin Hunter. His words, not mine. He's a singer who used to be signed to Kelvin and he claims he was sexually abused
by Kelvin Hunter.
His words, not mine.
Let's listen.
He came over and practically raped me.
He came over 3 o'clock in the morning.
I know he was high.
Come over like...
Pulled back the covers.
Now, I sleep naked
and I used to stay in the condo
in Fort Lee, New Jersey.
Now, mind you,
I just did the number two.
I just didn't...
Well, he didn't care about that. He ate me.
He s*** in me and then put his s*** in.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
And he s*** in less than 30 seconds.
And while he was
stroking, he was like, yeah,
this is Brownsville.
Now, don't bring
Brooklyn into this, man. I don't know.
I don't know if those allegations
are true or not, but if they are, just know Kelvin is really putting the brown in Brownsville, if it is.
And he doesn't last long at all.
That's terrible.
Listen, man, nothing puts the brown in Brownsville like a doodle stay, Danis.
My goodness.
Now, that's Avion Foster. Remember last year, last summer, when a narrative was being created that I was a rapist, a sexual predator,
all based off an old charge that I had in 2001 of criminal sexual conduct, which I have always spoken about,
wrote about it in my book, you know, never hid it from anybody, talked about this charge like I talked about all my other charges.
Now, this charge was dismissed and expunged from my record simply because I took a DNA test and because the
young woman didn't want to cooperate. If you take a
DNA test and your DNA is not found
in a woman's rape kit, then that's usually what
happens. Your charges get dismissed. That was
my case. But that didn't stop a narrator from
being painted, especially when you couple that with
old inappropriate jokes that I made when
I was younger on The Breakfast Club
and take conversations about rape culture
that I had on my podcast out of context.
You put that with this young lady's side of the story.
Easy to paint the narrative that Charlamagne is a rapist, especially in this era.
And this Time's Up, Me Too movement, you can vandalize someone's perception.
You can do some damage to their business.
And that's exactly, allegedly, what Kelvin Hunter tried to do to me.
I knew this, but Avion Foster, who lived with Kelvin last year,
confirmed it with Tasha K.
Let's listen to that.
Kelvin's behind the whole thing because of some beef Nikki got with Charlamagne.
Charlamagne don't even know what Nikki mad about.
But when I was in Kevin's office, sitting back and forth between me and him,
just like this, I was like, why are you doing this, man?
He said, sometimes you just got to do something for the family, man.
Now you're talking about the allegations involving Charlamagne that reappeared via media, okay, of him supposedly raping.
Right, which is totally false.
They didn't know that I was there when Phil was calling.
Who was Phil?
Phil is Kev's assistant, somebody who works with Kev.
But I was there when I was on tour, on the Wendy tour.
Kevin was right on the phone with this girl and her people organizing the story.
Now, my lawyer served Kelvin Hunter last summer and his publicist, Danny Astoria, because I was getting calls from blogs and other radio stations telling me Danny Astoria, who is their publicist, was calling around on behalf of Kelvin Hunter, trying to set up interviews for the young woman accusing me of rape.
Let me tell you how dumb Kelvin is. I served Danny Astoria first, and the lawyer responded saying she represents Danny Astoria and
Kelvin Hunter. A hit dog will holler, won't he?
Then Kelvin's lawyer sent me a cease and
desist telling me to stop talking about Kev. I hadn't
even started talking about him yet, but I am talking
now. And salute to Philip Jordan as well,
a.k.a. Phil Gates. Phil, you
allegedly were helping Kev with this. Phil is like
400 pounds. I think Kev promised him
gastric bypass or lipo or something, but
in typical Kelvin fashion, he didn't keep his word on that.
He'd rather spend that money on his side chick.
Bought her a Ferrari as a push present,
but that car, according to the Daily Mail,
got repossessed the day after Wendy announced the divorce.
You know you can't afford those type of toys, Kev.
All right, you could have gave that money to Phil to have his surgery.
Instead of the repo man taking the Ferrari away,
the doctors could have taken Phil's stomach away.
But that is why we are here today.
We are here to talk about this restaurant called the Karma Cafe where there are no menus.
You get served what you deserve.
And Kev, you deserve everything that's happening to you right now.
Because you do understand everything that you attempt to do to someone has already been done to you.
Let me repeat.
Whatever negative you are trying to do to someone has already been done to you.
You were so busy trying to get me fired.
And look, according to People magazine, Wendy Williams' husband, soon to be ex-wife,
Kelvin Hunter, is being fired as her manager and executive producer of the TV show amid this divorce scandal.
Kelvin, you're so busy trying to curse others that you ended up cursing yourself.
Did you really think you could go around treating people the way you treat them
and not suffer any consequences from the universe all
these years? The sad part is
you treat everybody like
doo-doo, but the one person you treat like doo-doo
that you should never treat like doo-doo
is your soon-to-be ex-wife.
Bro, you are nothing without her.
I know it hurts when people walk up to y'all and say,
we love you, Wendy Williams, and you don't hear them say
Wendy Williams Hunter, but nobody cares about no damn
hunters. Hunting season is over.
All right.
Do you think people give a damn if Wendy's last name is Hunter?
You should have took the last name Williams.
All right.
If you think people didn't respect you when you was with Wendy, how do you think they're
going to feel about you now?
Okay.
All the more reason you should have been kissing Wendy's feet and not Sharina Hudson's ass.
Okay.
This is why from now on,
Calvin Hunter from Brownsville will be known as Doo-Doo Brown.
Doo-Doo Brown! Okay?
Listen, listen.
Not because of the gay allegations from Avion Foster.
I don't weaponize gayness because gayness is not to be weaponized.
If he's allegedly bisexual, that's his business.
I don't give a damn.
We call him Doo-Doo Brown because he's always doing way too much.
All right, I introduced you to Sharina Hudson back in the day. I don't give a damn. We call him Doo-Doo Brown because he's always doing way too much. All right, I introduced you to Sharina Hudson back in the day.
I don't remember the year.
And in typical Calvin Hunter fashion, he started doing too much.
Made Sharina 12 years a side chick,
using his allowance that he gets from Wendy to help her live the lavish life.
Had a baby with her.
And that ultimately cost you your marriage
and every valuable, genuine relationship that you had in your life.
He threw it all away for a woman that wasn't your wife.
If you are not the epitome of doing too much, I don't know what is.
And it's only a matter of time before Sharina leaves you.
Oh, don't think she's staying around.
Wendy not taking care of y'all no more.
Okay, whatever you get from Wendy, Sharina going to get a bunch of that and child support.
Oh, wait for it.
It's coming.
All right?
Same thing you did to Wendy.
Sharina going to do to you with another man.
Guaranteed.
But I just want to say, Kelvin, I wish you the best.
I really do. He's a hurt person
and hurt people hurt people. Kelvin needs
healing and we all know if you don't heal
what hurt you, you'll bleed on people
who didn't cut you. All you do is
bleed on people who have never cut you.
Wendy didn't cut you, you bled on her.
Charlemagne didn't cut you, you bled on me.
Avion, well,
if what he says is true, y'all cut each other and there probably was blood.
But that's neither here nor there.
I pray that you find some healing.
And this is not the legacy you leave for your son or your daughter.
Sir, get on your knees and repent for your sins.
Get your soul right.
Go to therapy.
I saw your lame ass apology yesterday that you didn't write.
But understand that the best apology will always be changed behavior, and I just don't see you changing, but I hope for the sake of your kids,
you do. My brothers out there, do right by your wives, especially when your wife is the primary
breadwinner. Guys, this is yet another example of no good coming to a man because he didn't do right
by his wife. Black men don't cheat, and it's very important to note that Kelvin Hunter
a.k.a. Doodoo Brown was raised in
Brownsville, but he was born in Canada.
Okay? The moral of
the story is, Kelvin,
never bite the hand that
feeds your side chick. Please
let Remy Ma give Kelvin Hunter the biggest hee-haw.
Hee-haw! Hee-haw!
You stupid mother f***er.
You dumb. Breaking news, too.
Wow.
What?
Just just in.
That was an extended dunk.
When it rains, it pours.
What happened?
What, what, what?
Allegedly.
Okay.
The man accusing Calvin Hunter of sexual assault, Avion Foster, is pregnant.
I don't know if this is true.
Shut up, man.
Shut up.
I don't know if this is true.
Shut up.
Shut up.
I don't know if this is true.
It just came across the wire.
You're stupid.
It just came across the wire. That's stupid. It just came across the wire.
That's not true.
Originally, he's really born in Toronto?
Black men don't cheat.
No, he's from Canada.
Canadian black men don't count.
He's born in...
I don't know if he was born in Toronto.
You just made that up.
No, I didn't.
I saw that on somewhere.
Same source I got from Amy,
I'm far from being pregnant.
No.
He's stupid, man.
He pulled out.
By Calvin Hunt.
He pulled out.
Definitely.
Oh, gosh.
One time for Dudu Brown, though.
When you see him in the street, say, what's up, Dudu Brown?
Dudu Brown!
Hey!
Dudu Brown!
Dudu Brown!
Dudu Brown!
Doing too much from Brownsville.
All right.
Yeah.
Keep it locked.
We have more coming up next.
It's The Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building, Monica.
Why are you great?
Your ankle still hurt?
Actually, my feet hurt a lot today.
Okay.
It's no joke, though.
I got three screws in one foot.
Damn.
I'm just coming out of the boot real good.
I was in the hospital, what, eight days?
Wow.
For ankle surgery.
No, I had a double bunionectomy where they removed the bone out of both feet.
Oh, I didn't know you were saying it was an ankle surgery.
And it's hereditary.
It's not elective.
So you didn't fall?
You didn't hurt it?
No.
I've been trying to ignore that thing for the longest because it takes you out of work.
You know, I'm not really with being taken out of work.
That means no check.
Yeah.
And you're spending money because you're in the hospital.
So, nah,
this wasn't something
I could put off any longer.
It was to the point
where when I come off stage,
sometimes they have to, like,
have a seat there
and bring me other shoes,
and it was just getting
to be ridiculous.
I was going to have
my corn surgically removed.
But that doesn't hurt, though, right?
Yes, it does,
because they got to cut you open
and shave the bone.
No, I'm saying the coins, they're just ugly. They don't hurt. Oh, no, they hurt., it does, because they got to cut you open and shave the bone. You know what I'm saying? The coins, they're just ugly.
They don't hurt.
Oh, no, they hurt.
Really?
What?
Because they rub against your shoe?
Maybe get a bigger shoe size, bro.
Man, even when you do that, it still hurts.
I had terrible coins.
Friction is never good.
Man.
That sounds like a fire.
So I just had them shaved off, so I was good.
Okay, yeah, see, this is totally different.
They take a piece out.
Yeah.
They take a piece out.
And it's not something you can see from looking at the foot.
And you almost had a stroke during the surgery?
No, that happened because I have high blood pressure.
And so I haven't been maintaining it the way I was supposed to.
And so when they put me under, that's when all of that started happening.
Because you know your body responds differently once you sleep.
So when they cut into the first foot, that's when my top numbers started rising.
And that's what creates the stroke.
You got high blood pressure. Who getting on your nerves, Mo?
Where you want me to start?
She got grown kids.
Where you want me to start?
But that's hereditary too.
Everyone, all four of my grandparents,
both of my parents, mama and daddy,
it's hereditary. People think if you're not
300 pounds, it's not
possible. They look at me and like, how you get
that? Well, how you eat
in addition to the fact
that it's hereditary. And then I still
live in Georgia. What's living in Georgia
have to do with it? Everything. Like dealing
with like racism kind of?
To give you high blood pressure. Oh, the food!
Yes. Oh, yeah.
Hey, no bulls**t. I was in Hawkinsville yesterday.
He said racism.
I was looking at this b***** like, what?
What?
Now, I just said outside he was smart.
He f***** it up.
I forgot.
I'm tired.
I just got back from Georgia yesterday.
You know what they gave me for lunch?
What?
Fried chicken.
Yes.
Macaroni and cheese.
Some dressing.
Yes.
And collard greens.
And some thin bread
toast. I was like, God damn it, I had to eat
because it was somebody's auntie.
No, you wanted to eat it because it looked good.
Period. I had to
kind of like acclimate myself
to just control.
And then too, I had to
learn to, I just started
like having massages,
facials, go somewhere by myself.
This all just started over the last year.
I never did that before, ever.
Really?
No.
He can't even believe I don't have a nanny.
None of that stuff.
She got a bunch of kids.
She travel everywhere, go to the games.
I'm like, you do it by yourself.
Just take them to school.
Y'all kids ain't little though.
My kids are little.
Five is little.
Oh, you got a five-year-old.
Yeah, my daughter's five.
And she is like,
it's Shannon's face,
but she acts just like me.
It's scary.
That means she's going to have
her gun license by 12.
Listen.
Don't start early this morning now.
You know how I get down.
What Monique say,
call you by your first name.
Lenard.
Lenard.
Lenard.
Lenard.
Not this morning.
Okay.
And then I have my 14-year-old.
Rocco is 14.
And then my wild child, he's 11.
Starting to tackle football and all this other stuff.
He's the one that you have to keep both eyes on, literally.
Romello is the busiest.
But he is the one that enjoys trying all things new.
You know what I'm saying?
So I just got to do what I got to do.
My mom is a help.
And when you grow up in the South, you see women do what I'm doing.
That's another learned behavior.
Like my grandmother did
everything for all of us. I don't think we
had fast food until she was older
like sickly, you know? Like we
really grew up seeing it
that way. So that's all I knew.
You did too much. Not only that, you got your
own label now, so you got to run your own label.
That's added stress.
That's added stress, yeah.
Because every day I'm getting these alerts
where funds are depleting
as I pay for things as we move around.
What made you want to be indie after all these years?
You know what?
I was on that one contract the whole time.
Wow.
Yeah, people thought it was like, you know, the labels were changing.
So when you see it says Rowdy, then it says Arista, then it says Jay,
people don't realize that still was all the transitions of the company, not me.
You know, I wasn't leaving.
I was there the whole time.
So when it ran out, I just pretty much said, let's try something different.
You know who gave me a lot of insight on what it would be like?
And she lives an incredible life because of it, is Anita Baker.
Wow.
She broke it down, numbers.
I'm talking about every bit of the science of being independent.
And she's like,
you know, they say what they want about me.
I clear these millions and go home.
But there is a part of the stages of starting it that's
completely different. You know, putting the
record out, I was just like, what?
We pay for that? I thought they
just was going to do that because I've been around forever.
No, you pay for every step of it,
every stage of it.
You got to pay for ads, you got to pay for radio, everything.
People think it just happens.
It does not just happen.
And don't, let's not get into features.
But a lot of people do stuff for you, you Monica,
they'll do stuff for you for free.
You still got to clear them.
Okay.
And if they're signed to somebody else,
they have nothing to do with that.
So, you know, it's not fees.
Nobody's like charging me fees or anything.
But it's like when it's time to clear it and put it out,
then when you shoot your video, you gotta take
good care of them. You know, same thing
I would require. Hair, makeup,
your clothes, your flights, your
crew, your food, your rider,
all that. But you got a number one single.
Congratulations on that. Congratulations.
Commitment. Second week in a row. Wow.
Yeah. How did you feel
When you got that
Number one as an
Independent artist
That's different
It was way different
It was
It was
As huge to me as
Being 13 years old
And a record go number one
And you coming from
Somewhere where they
Telling you
Like oh that's impossible
You should do something else
You're not gonna make it
Doing that
You know this feels like that
This feels like that all over again.
All right, we got more with Monica.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Monica.
Now, let's talk about commitment.
Commitment is one of those records.
It's a lot of feeling and commitment.
Yes.
It's your record?
Yes.
Absolutely.
I'm a girl that likes being committed i enjoy being with one person
you know i'm saying that's how i'm able to you know how some people like oh god you again that's
not that's not me i really enjoy being with one person i really don't have the patience for
multiple people that's what i was just telling this girl earlier like i don't know what dating
even is because for real for real if i somebody, they're really the only person that I want to interact with.
I don't know how to, you know how some people say it's important that you get out and you mix with, you know, several people, see what you like.
Listen, I already know what the hell I like.
And I know when I don't like it, you know.
So it's like if it's somebody that I meet, I enjoy being committed
to one person.
And that's all the song was about
because we were talking about
in the studio
how now it's so casual.
You know what I'm saying?
So how did Shannon Brown
f*** that up?
I'm not gonna lie.
I've sat in this room
a couple times
and I said,
I don't know what he's doing,
but he needs to be on his knees
begging Monica to get back to him.
Only because we look at you
in that light.
Like, you a fly woman.
Well, I appreciate that.
I mean, I feel like we were married, what, almost nine years?
And I think life changes really got the best of both of us at times.
You know, I take accountability for what my party is.
I'm a very outspoken woman, you know.
And I'm learning how to be more of a listener,
you know, than just speaking what I feel, because he also went through a lot of different
life changes.
You know, he survived a major car accident, but that also changed the course of, you know,
what's happening career wise.
So he playing in big three, doing other stuff.
And I think that it took a toll because I probably didn't have enough around us to help us just facilitate what needed to happen.
But, you know, it is what it is.
Divorce is not being easy.
But one thing about me, I'm going to respect him to the death, though.
I don't hate him.
I think there's a difference when you walk away from something and you real mad.
You know what I'm saying?
I know it wasn't on infidelity because black men don't cheat.
That's a damn lie. I don't even know
why y'all keep this going. That's just foolish.
What? Not the
Shannon part. The black men don't cheat part.
It's just foolish. What are you doing, man?
What is him?
Listen, him and Duval both
are out of control of this whole black men
don't cheat thing. We don't.
Because I've never dated no other race.
So you really don't want me to get in on this black men don't cheat thing.
Those are black grown boys.
Us black men.
Oh, so you're saying men don't.
There you go.
Yeah.
Oh, that's a quick flip.
You should definitely write songs.
You fix that quick before my auntie neck
and shit started coming out.
You fixed that real fast.
Now, with him leaving the league,
did that affect
when he got injured?
Because if you do something
since you were five years old,
play basketball,
and now all of a sudden you can't,
that had to have an effect
on the relationship too.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, any, I mean,
you got to factor
all of that in. You know what I'm saying? And then when you. Yeah, any, I mean, you got to factor all of that in.
You know what I'm saying?
And then when you got children,
we're not just working for ourselves.
Right.
You know, he and I both are working
to make sure that they have
everything that they need.
And you establish a lifestyle for them.
You don't want that
to ever have to change.
So, of course.
How do you know when it's over though?
Because I'm thinking about it
from the perspective
of a married man.
Like, how do you know
when it's over? Like, you know what? Like, we of a married man. How do you know when it's over?
You know what?
We can't even just go into the other room and then talk about this later.
It's done, done.
I don't think you ever get to a point where you understand that that is the case.
I think actions start to show that it's come to an end more than anything to me.
But I do remember feeling like, why can't we get along?
Why can't we figure this one situation in particular out?
Why is that repetitively happening?
That is what stood out more to me than anything else
because I definitely feel like that'll always be somebody that I love.
And see, to me, it's weird when I see people,
they spend all these years together,
and then when they're apart,
everything that comes out of your mouth is negative.
I just don't feel like that about Shannon.
I think people are waiting for this moment
where, what's she going to say?
What's going to happen?
It was the same thing being on TV at the same time.
I'm like, I honestly don't feel like that, you know?
And I feel like we do our kids an
injustice when you're running around talking about
the person that is a part of
them even walking the earth. Like, that's crazy
to me. So my whole way of looking
at stuff is so different than most people, but
I think what happens is when you realize
you're not finding a way to work
through things, that's more what
happened than anything else.
The hardest part got to be the five-year-old, your daughter,
the co-parenting, right?
No, the hard part is with all three of them.
He's been in their lives since they were, what, three and five?
If not younger than that.
So it's hard with every single one of them.
There's no difference because biologically they aren't related to him.
They've been in a home with this man nine years
When they started picking up footballs
And basketballs
He was teaching them that stuff
They also have a father who plays a major part
But it's like at the end of the day
Every day they woke up
They woke up with this person
So it's difficult with all of them
There's no difference just because she's biologically his
How is that for you?
You got a couple of young men
that you're raising that
I'm sure into girls now.
I'm sure going out now.
A couple of good young black men
who don't cheat.
So how are you dealing with that?
You know,
bringing them young girls
around the house and all that
as Monica pulls
Charlamagne's mic away from him.
Now, how was that?
It's been amazing.
No, it's been cool.
I'll tell you what did.
There have been a lot of positives and a negative.
One thing it forced everybody to do is to talk.
And what's dope is that my son's straight up been asking questions.
They want to know about everything.
Okay, so my...
About sex? Well, I don't hide real life,
the streets, music, sex,
nothing from my kids.
I don't hide my kids from it in any way.
I teach them.
I tell them the truth.
I use it as teachable moments.
It's hard for fathers to have...
Like, I got three girls,
so it's hard for me to have those...
Yeah, it's hard for me to have those conversations with...
But that's when I was a hoe in a past life.
So I've grown.
Before the black men don't cheat so much. When I was a black boy, I was a hoe in a past life. Before the black men don't cheat.
When I was a black boy, I was a hoe.
But as a black man that doesn't cheat,
you know, those three girls, it's hard
to have those conversations with them about
sex and stuff. My girl is 11 and
3. You gotta teach about guys like you
who... I'm saying guys like me
as if you've been Mr. Clean your whole life.
Changed. You wanna Google? I've changed.
Oh, please. Not Google.
Not Google.
But I have that conversation early because I know
there's creeps out there and I know what they do.
So I try to show them who the bad guys
are and what to look for.
I wasn't a bad guy. I was just a man.
We were all just men. We were dogs.
You got from a crackhead, bro.
I was selling crack.
No.
No. Nah.
Nah.
Nah.
Nah.
Cause, cause, cause, nah, cause.
Nah.
Nah.
Cause you know my history for real, for real.
And nah.
Nah.
That was some bartering.
And not one time.
That was one, maybe twice.
It was a bartering.
Nah.
Nah. Uh-uh. Cause was a bartering. Nah. Nah.
Uh-uh.
Cuz.
Yeah.
Cuz.
Nah.
Nah.
Uh-uh.
Nope.
All right, when we come back, we got more with Monica, but let's get into a Monica mini-mix.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show.
That was a Monica mini mix Morning everybody
It's DJ Envy
Angela Yee
Charlamagne Tha God
And we're still kicking it
With Monica
Charlamagne
Do you think Monica
Gets the respect
She deserves in the game?
You know what I can appreciate?
When I'm present I do
And that means more to me
People still treat me
With a certain amount of respect that I can appreciate.
When it comes to music, absolutely not.
I've always been the underdog in that sense.
It is very easy for people to dismiss things that I did at 12, 13, 14, 15.
If you listen to Why I Love You So Much, I sang that at 12.
What? At 12. If you can't respect that, I don 14, 15. If you listen to Why I Love You So Much, I sang that at 12. What?
At 12.
If you can't respect that, I don't get it.
You were 12?
12.
God damn.
12.
I turned 13 when Just One of Them Days dropped.
And by the time the album dropped, they had to pull Just One of Them Days off the shelves.
We were almost a three million single sold.
You remember them days where people had cassettes and vinyls, the actual buy it. And so they had to pull it off the shelves because
the concern with, um, at Rowdy and Arista at the time, you know, Dallas is the one that signed me
and it couldn't have been anybody better to have signed me at that age because he treated me as
his daughter. It was just, he never made me feel like,
if she not selling records, she not important.
It was always about, listen, are you okay?
Is this too much?
You don't have to do this.
Everything about who you are is great.
Don't let them tell you different.
If I'm not present to say it for you, you say it yourself.
And so that outspokenness is actually why they titled the first album Miss Thing.
So when he pulled the single off the shelves
it was because they were getting ready to release Miss Thing
and they didn't want people to just keep buying
the single and not buy the album.
So what happened was I
turned 14 right after the
album dropped. But those
songs were recorded when I was 12
13 years old. I gave up my
whole childhood and never even complained
about it. You've never heard me sit somewhere
like, if I could have just done this,
I'd be a better person. Nah, I'm who I'm
supposed to be because I did what I was
supposed to do. And you ain't go crazy either.
You got all the child thoughts that went crazy.
I didn't go crazy. And my personal
life was crazy enough for me to have been
crazy. But because of the
people that were around me and the fact that
I never saw the need to step outside
of who I was to try and sell
records. And I've just comfortably
been in this position forever.
Like, because I
know what I've done. But when
I found out I was pregnant with
my second son, they're like, it's
over now. You've done a
great job. We all love you. It's like they just put you on the pass. Yeah, they're like, it's over now. You've done a great job.
We all love you.
It's like they just put you on the pass.
Yeah, they're like, yeah.
And so I was just like quietly rocking my baby,
thinking of what I wanted to do because I've always been told what I couldn't do
and defied those odds.
So it didn't break me.
You know, I'm sure most people would have been in depression,
but I was at home chilling, prepping, still standing,
which ended up being a huge record for me.
People got to respect the music
when they come to your shows, though.
Because you got to be
at least 20 songs deep
on a show easily.
Yeah, easy.
I do 60 minutes easy.
Why I love you so much.
Why I love you so much,
angel of mine.
Don't take it personal.
You should have known better.
So gone.
Still standing, so gone.
Everything to me.
For you, I will.
For you, I will. I've me. For you, I will. For you, I will.
I've been doing For You, I Will lately.
For a while, I was doing it for Nipsey and Lauren.
And we would just take a minute, just take like a quiet prayer break, put the lights
up for a second.
You know, songs have marked times in my life.
But now the lyrics all mean something different.
Monica got to go.
Yeah.
And we need to do a Monica mix this morning.
And you and Duval
need to drop this black men don't cheat
foolishness unless you're going to hold seminars
and figure out who the men are,
separate them for these women so that they
know where to date, who to date,
who to meet. Because right now
you guys are just aimlessly
moving in your movement.
You need some councils. You need some boards
set up. You know what I'm saying?
We got the Faithful Black Men Association. It's just about
changing the narrative. Look how they're looking at you.
We do. We have a Faithful Black Men Association.
You want to see my card? Let me show you my card. Hold on.
That card looks so flimsy. You ain't know Chick-fil-A was open
on Sundays. It is with that card.
What'd it say? Faithful Black Men
Association. Exclusive Members
Card. Yes.
And you said that gets you into Chick-fil-A on Sundays?
Yes.
This card represents current membership in the congregation of faithful black men.
Yes, ma'am.
Serving, protecting, and honoring who, though?
Our women.
Why I don't say that?
Because that's something that we know.
That's written in our heart.
Hell no.
It would have to be on this card because the rest of this ain't even in English.
Well, that's his barcode.
No, this say Fittus Arquetis.
What is that?
That means faithful in whatever language that is.
No, for real, it do.
It do mean faithful.
But you see how that left too much room for your own interpretation.
I'm going to tell you and Duval this one time and one time only.
Organize. Yes. Your administration and one time only. Organize.
Yes.
Your administration.
Yes.
Okay?
I agree.
First things first, get all the men men together.
Yes.
That needs to happen.
We meet up on Sundays.
Where?
Church.
Church where?
It's the secret church.
I'm saying too much.
Church like Cheetah Church?
No, it ain't no Cheetah Church.
Like Magic City Church?
I ain't cheated in four years.
Is that supposed to be a celebration?
Yes.
Listen, if I was sober.
You digging a ditch, bro?
If I was sober.
Wait, how long have you been married, though?
Listen, we're talking about particulars.
Yeah, we're talking particulars.
But you see what happened?
You see what happened?
They want to talk particulars with me
But they don't want me to talk particulars with them
That's the problem right here
You take this damn card and you put it where the sun don't shine
Because you ain't figured out what's happening
It is the administration
I've been with my girl for 22 years
We've been married
We've been married for 5
I just died
We've been together since we've been kids
Listen I'm going to say this to Mrs. Charlamagne.
I'll piss the whooping for you.
Okay?
I will take him out back right now for you.
But she did her dirt, too.
We've grown together.
You know, I just grew up a little later.
You know men mature later than women.
But now, faithful black man.
You want to hear a story?
Wouldn't even think about it.
Please.
No, do you want to hear a story?
Please tell me.
Please tell me a story. Don't act like you story? Please tell me. Please tell me a story.
Don't act like you ain't got no stories.
Please tell me a story.
This nigga over here acting like he just been Mr. Clean his whole life.
But I'm just, I'm shut up.
As a big man, don't cheat.
Look, he said he knows when to be quiet.
I know when to be quiet.
That's, you know what, that's key in a successful marriage.
That is true.
Sometimes being quiet is winning the argument.
Yeah, sometimes being quiet.
Wait, is there a winner and loser in an argument?
Goddamn right.
No, because if you're trying to win or lose, then you're really not having a conversation.
Yeah, if you're trying to win or lose, then, yeah.
It's a conversation.
Conversations are good, and I'm going to say this flat out, period, point blank.
Black men don't cheat.
Oh, I thought my bad.
I thought you were about to say it.
I'm sorry.
I'm trying to keep my hands to myself.
They, listen, counseling is good.
Yes.
Go to counseling.
Please.
I went as a kid, and it was probably one of the best things that my mom could have ever done for us.
When she divorced my dad, we went to counseling, and it was the best thing that could have happened.
I go to therapy once a week. You need to.
Yeah.
Ladies and gentlemen, Monica, we appreciate
you joining us. You remember I had to call
you? He's so inappropriate.
His wife is a special
person. That was 10 years ago, Mo. It wasn't no damn
10 years ago. It was definitely on the show.
It was like 6 or 7. I called
Lala and was like, hey, what's Charlamagne
on? What did you say? I don't remember. Yeah, you do. No, I don't. He a liar. I called Lala and was like, hey, what's Charlamagne on? That is very true. What did you say?
I don't remember.
Yeah, you do.
No, I don't.
He a liar.
I am.
Yes, you do.
I don't want to relive that old me.
Like, I'm not behind you.
You're not going to bring me back there, Satan.
All right.
All right.
He makes me.
You know what?
But what's scary is I actually love Charlamagne.
It's so weird.
Boy, have I not grown.
Come on now.
No. No. No, I hear, I listen to you all the time.
No, you have not.
You've just grown more.
What you've done is you've learned how to do it
so swiftly
that most people sitting in this chair
don't know what happens to them.
I just don't let you get past me.
I came in here with my work boots on.
I'm waiting on Charlamagne.
Mo, let me tell you, one time I used to have a mattress over there.
Shut up, man.
That was ten years ago.
I'm about to tell my Envy story. Let's go.
Look who's there. Forget it.
Okay.
You ain't got a story as bad as this. Yes, I do.
Alright, you're right. Let me stop.
His wife put it out.
It's the Breakfast Club in the morning.
Wait.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Believe us on a positive note.
Listen, the positive note is this, man.
If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere.
Breakfast Club, bitches.
Y'all finished or y'all done?
Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag.
This is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
