Morning everybody, it's DJ, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Shalimeen the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the mess On the breakfast club she's a coacheship She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see this time to set to set it off. I'm happy that ASAP is free. That's another black man who can be home with his family.

Like, you know, cause he got them two kids, that wife. We might get a album from Rihanna. You think so? Yeah, her man just beat 24 years. I feel like we're not going to get the album now because he just beat 24 years. They gonna be busy. Did you?

What does that say about ASAP Rocky is a rapper that y'all want to hear from his wife But not him It's been ten years for re-read oh, so yeah, but one an album I mean, I ain't never gonna stop wanting that I do love her. I like her Well, yes, now we can focus back on her now that this man is free. Let me tell you, listen, yesterday, so Asap Rocky was found not guilty yesterday in court. He was found not guilty of all charges. So he's going to walk free. And the minute that the verdict was read,

y'all talking about Rihanna, just his family and it went crazy. Let's take a listen. VA 508142-01. We, the jury and the above entitled action, find the defendant, Raquem Mayors, not guilty. I loved it. Yo, he jumped over that bench in Rihanna's arms There were reporters in the court Megan Cuniff. She said that actually Rihanna was in tears Yeah, they read the verdict and when he jumped over and hugged her and his family was in tears as well, too Yeah, no safer place to be than those woman's arms. He died. Yeah, man was facing with 24 years 24 years, and it happened pretty fast. I know it probably didn't feel fast for Rocky

or for Rihanna or for his family, but 14 days they went to deliberations yesterday, came back at the end of the day. It was around like eight o'clock when the jury came back with the not guilty. And yeah, he was facing, he was accused of firing a gun at his former friend Asap Relly.

So he was looking at some time. Now people though are asking what happens. To Relly. So he was looking at some time now people don't are asking what happens to really to rally because okay so on one side you have ASAP's attorney who's like he lied on the stand a lot so what are we gonna do about this let's take a listen to Joe Teckapina ASAP Rocky's attorney after court. We're grateful for the jury they saw through this barrage of a case. CIA! He turned down a plea for almost no jail time because he was innocent. This was an extortion. The extortion played out live in color in court. What it says is that the district attorney should look long and

hard at prosecuting Tyrell Efron. We said that from day one. They should do it now. They have him committing the perjury. They have him committing the extortion, destroy so through it and came to it enormously quick and speedy verdict for me my partner Chad We're honored have represented this amazing family by Kim Rockies one of my closest friends There's also just a great great person Really will probably get charged with perjury he should be pushing for he should get your extortion there's a few moments on the stand where he had said things and then it was debunked and it was a lot that happened but also to really have filed that 30 million dollar defamation lawsuit against a sad was

first one it that was doing it was like after the shooting but it was before the criminal case started yes yes and that's gonna have to be thrown out because he was alleging that because of the shooting and because of the statements That ASAP ASAP Rocky's attorney was making he was being defamed. He was being threatened online and now you know in a court of law You were it was founded this didn't happen. They could prove he lied on Stan He should be have to be prosecuted He should be prosecuted because there's no way that ASAP Rocky has to pay for attorney fees Yeah, has to do all these different things and and somebody who lies on the stand just walks now

That's amazing, I never even knew who ASAP Relly was until this situation And so now it's just like that's what you known for you know for somebody who couldn't even rat-rat And I know he wish he got shot now For real, I mean just yeah, he was lying Well, we really do wish it happened Congratulations to ASAP Rocky, my advice to you is to never leave the house ever again. Okay? But that can't happen.

And don't communicate with any N words after 5 p.m. The beautiful thing about situations like this though is you get to really see who's who. Like I'm sure over the last however many years it's been, he's got to see who was like really in his corner. So salute to you ASAP Rocky. Yep. Yes, he's getting to go home to his family.

Moving on to Cardi B. Our girl. So after I said that Steph Rocky. Yep. Yes, he's gonna go home to his family. Moving on to Cardi B. Our girl. So after I said that Stephon was keeping her busy, she decided to tweet about Offset when she got to it. Yeah. Well, you asked yesterday, did she respond? Did she? Because you know she'll get online now.

Listen, she didn't say Offset's name in this tweet, but of course. And she deleted the tweet. But we know what this is giving. So yesterday, after we reported about her amazing Valentine's Day weekend, Cardi got on Twitter and she tweeted, I'm getting harassed the worst way. I suggest you shut up and leave me alone. And less than one hour or people's careers will be getting ruined, including

including is in all caps, you famous bees that was getting left. Leave me alone. Now, we don't know who she is claiming is harassing her but what the fans have gathered from this is that this is in response to her being out and about having a good time and it being picked up that she was out and about having a good time with Stephon Diggs over the weekend and that the person that she is talking to on Twitter is offset because she does that often when they're going back and forth. So I mean the tweet was deleted and no one's gotten exposed so I'm assumed that you know 35 minutes into the hour he realized let me

just she said even all you famous girls that was getting yeah I guess you know she said she got the look out so I put his hand on his hip when he said that. Scotty do it. See. Scotty we want to know. I want to know what Offset Hit List look like. Okay. As an old head we like to live by cash leave to the young boys you know what offset hit list look like We like to live by cash leave to the young boys, you know, I see you Cardi is it's doing her own thing only because you raised kids. You don't want to offset to do that I don't want I mean

I don't want Cardi to do that because even though she's on her own thing and I understand how she feels about all set They still got raised them kids together. It's a lot. You know what I mean? Why stir up the extra drama girl? Just but but this he keep on like poking at her though Like he poking that ever since he's been seeing her out having fun moving on whatever Poking at her though like he poking that ever since he's been seeing her out having fun moving on whatever whatever it is like He's been poking. Yeah, he's been trying to yeah, and he's been driving his nuts all over. Yeah, I mean Yeah, she can do that. I mean put the bitches out there. Yeah, but that's. I'm okay, you're right. I'm speaking to the lens of an old man. That was their age, bro. I'm speaking to the lens of an old one.

This is old, I'm talking. That was a man's plan. Because depending on how close they are to her industry-wise, if they in her vicinity too much, you're going to look crazy because your wife is crying at me. You guys are holding her down. I just pray somebody can get in between and be like, look, we got kids. The kids can see this. Everything's online right now. Let's work this out.

The person in between is tired Envy Yeah, I don't like seeing their drama play out online man sleuth offset Cardi I hope that y'all figure it out Do it in the music put it in the music Do it in the music. Put it in the music. Oh, you can tell me. One of y'all just text me. Just text me. Let me by Carousel, dude. That's all. Don't drop it. That's all right.
