Starting point is 00:00:00 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.

How is she? Which is interesting. She's about to go to college. She's going to St. John's, so she is interesting. She's about to go to college. She's going to St. John's
Starting point is 00:03:25 so she starts college. She moves into her dorm in August. So she just got here and it's interesting. What are you doing with her? Well, yesterday I had to do this event with Google
Starting point is 00:03:36 and I brought her to that event so she had an opportunity to hear everybody discuss entrepreneurship and how Google helps out with that and Google all of those things. So she enjoyed that.
Starting point is 00:03:46 And I'm actually just paying her to help me for the next couple of weeks and work with me and everything. That's pretty cool. Yeah, so she's going to have a good time, but she is going to get put to work. What's her major, you know? Not yet.
Starting point is 00:03:58 She didn't even start yet. Okay. I didn't know she was, you know, going to a certain school or something like that. She's going to St. John's, so she hasn't started yet. She has schools, like business school in St. John's. They have't started yet. Well, you know, they have schools like business school in St. John's.
Starting point is 00:04:06 They have the health class or whatever it is. Yeah, I don't know if she knows what she wants to do yet but she's already teaching me a lot of different things about YouTubers
Starting point is 00:04:12 that I never heard about. She was telling me something about some 12-year-old on YouTube that pretends to be 15 and some crazy things happen. It sounded very scary. Really?
Starting point is 00:04:22 Then we were watching Euphoria and I was like, I don't know if you should be watching this. Yeah, maybe. Well, yeah, she's 18. Yeah, so, you know, I don't know. It just feels weird.
Starting point is 00:04:31 I've known her since she was born. Yeah. So it's weird for me to see, like, this little girl who I've been in her life since she was born all grown up now. Oh, God. That's what happens. We start off as kids, and then we grow into adults. That's all you got out of that? But she lives in Seattle.
Starting point is 00:04:43 She lives in Seattle, so I don't get to see her that much. So, you know, during the increments of time, now she's going to college. Right. And it's just amazing. It feels good to hear young ladies
Starting point is 00:04:52 talking about college this summer because all I keep hearing about is hot girl summers. Everybody's majoring in being a hot girl this summer. My God. Goodness gracious. My hot girl summer,
Starting point is 00:05:00 city girl summer, city boy summer. Like, it just feels good to hear somebody talking about going to school. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. it just feels good to hear somebody talking about going to school. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what we talking about?
Starting point is 00:05:08 Yes, so a mother gave birth to somebody else's babies. We'll tell you what happened. Okay, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. D-E-J-M-V, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, we are the Breakfast Club. It's amazing how you can hear one thing in a Breakfast Club interview
Starting point is 00:05:21 and you can think about it for years to come. Like, I'll never forget when Tracy Morgan told our boy, Rob Drum, that he got some butthole around his beard. So, Drum's in here eating a bagel, and he's wiping his mouth, and I just can't help but think he's wiping some butthole off his beard. Good morning, everybody. How are you? Was that what you was doing, Drum? No. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:36 All right, well, let's get into some front-page news. What are we talking about here? Well, let's talk about Team USA Women's World Cup. The final victory delivered 14.3 million viewers for Fox. So that is amazing that that many people watched as the women won. Yeah, so those women should be getting paid, you know, just like the men do. If they bring it in those kind of numbers. Yeah, they're having a huge parade today in the city.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Yes. Huge ticket tape parade. They said it's 22% over the Men's World Cup final from 2018. That's what I'm saying. You can justify, you know, not You can justify not paying women in sports when they're not bringing in the numbers, they're not bringing in the fans that the guys do. But when they're bringing in more than the guys,
Starting point is 00:06:11 how can you justify not paying them? Absolutely. Alright, now a mother gave birth to another couple's babies. And that's because there was a mix-up with the IVF at the fertility clinic. And now they are actually filing a lawsuit. As they said, the mother is Asian and she gave birth to two
Starting point is 00:06:28 non-Asian babies. Each child was a genetic match to a different couple who were also clients at that fertility clinic and they were actually forced to give up custody of the babies to their genetic parents. So imagine yes, you pregnant, give birth to the babies and then find out the babies
Starting point is 00:06:44 aren't even yours after you go through that whole process. They still don't know what happened to their two embryos that were supposed to be transferred. So they're suing now for physical and emotional harm and medical malpractice, negligence, and 14 other counts as well. And where was this? This was in New York, a couple from New York. Nothing like getting the wrong order when you got to crave it for something else. I mean, that's really traumatic is that you go through the whole process of being pregnant and giving birth to twins. You got to give up those babies.
Starting point is 00:07:10 That's crazy. I ordered a number one chicken sandwich with cheese and pickles. All right? And you gave me nuggets. All right. Now, a YouTube executive called the cops on a black man just because he was waiting for a friend outside of the building, which was a crazy video. I actually saw this video yesterday. The man called 911.
Starting point is 00:07:29 The man's name is Christopher Cooke, who's the YouTube executive. He's a white man. He's with his son. And he accused Wesley, I don't know if his name is Michael or Wesley Michelle. He's a black man for trespassing in San Francisco at his building. Here's what happened. You can find a friend on the call box and have them come down. They don't have to do that.
Starting point is 00:07:45 You can just walk away. I'm going to call the police right now. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Call the police. Sir, I'll hold the door here for you while you call your friend. That is okay. Nobody's asking you to hold the door. You can do whatever you want.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Yeah, there's a trespasser in my building. Daddy, no. Please go. Listen to your son. Daddy, go. It's the better. I agree with him, Daddy. I don't like this. Let's go. That's crazy. Listen to the son. Daddy, go. It's the better. I agree with him, Daddy. I don't like this.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Let's go. That's crazy. Even his son is telling him, I agree with him. Listen to the kids, bro. Even the kid was like, he's not even doing anything. Let's go. Let him go. Well, that's because kids can see the truthfulness of a situation.
Starting point is 00:08:20 So the kids saw that that was some BS. But I bet you Negroes won't boycott YouTube. Some of y'all whole existence is because of YouTube. Y'all making y'all living is because of YouTube. Y'all love YouTube so much. I bet you won't even
Starting point is 00:08:30 fix your mouth to call for a boycott of YouTube, will you? I don't know that this is YouTube's fault that this happened. But YouTube needs to take action.
Starting point is 00:08:38 We don't even know what YouTube's gonna do yet. They just broke the story yesterday. Usually when stuff like this happens, what do we do? We call for the person's
Starting point is 00:08:44 employee or employer to do something. And that's what we should do. do we do? We call for the person's employee or employer to do something. And that's what we should do. Or we boycott the employee or the employer, but we love YouTube too much to ever do something like that. No, I think YouTube
Starting point is 00:08:51 definitely has to take responsibility for something like this, so we will see what happens because I'm sure this story went viral, so I can't imagine that there's not going
Starting point is 00:08:58 to be some pressure now. So at the end of the clip, you can hear the friend that he was waiting for showing up, and he's telling her it took her forever to arrive, and that's when
Starting point is 00:09:05 Christopher Cougar hung up the phone. You know, people are getting more and more, you know, what happened to the days of walking down the block and calling the police? Like, people wondering, I'm calling the police on you. If you feel threatened, I'm not going to stand there. If I feel threatened, I'm going to go upstairs and call the police. I'm not going to stand in front of you while I call the police.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Yeah, especially if you know people record you. If people record you and it's going viral and people are losing their jobs. I mean, you work at YouTube. You should understand how this works. Yeah, I'm going to walk down the block and call the police. I'm going to walk down the block. Let me call the police in secret. Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:32 All right? Envy was watching this other video yesterday in Anaheim. They're a violent Disneyland brawl. Oh, my goodness. What exactly happened? Because I saw there was a bystander recording video of that fight. And police are saying they are considering whether or not to file criminal charges against members of a family who were caught on video, and it was a long fight.
Starting point is 00:09:50 You had to fast forward to like the four-minute mark. He said he was a crip, and he said he was ready to go to jail. That's all I know. When I hear those two words, oh, we got audio? Let's play a little bit of it. I don't give a **** if I know video. I don't give a **** if I know video. What's up? You give a f*** about no video? You give a f*** about no video? You little crap, bitch.

I don't like what you did the other day, Envy. Uh-oh. What'd I do? You know, Star and L'Oreal have put up a, you know, I said Star and L'Oreal.
Starting point is 00:14:25 L'Oreal have put up an awesome video, and you liked it, and then you let the pressure get to you, and then you went back and you unliked it. What video? What video? What are you talking about? Oh, so it was a nice video of a bunch of guys sucking on cucumbers and bananas. Oh, I liked that by accident. That wasn't on purpose.
Starting point is 00:14:43 How did you even see that, Trev? That was on purpose. And then Embiid. Embi Oh, I liked that by accident. That wasn't a purpose. How did you even see that, Trav?

Starting point is 00:14:53 You liked the video about guys sucking cucumbers on accident? Yep. Sounds to me like a purpose. No, let me tell you what happened, Charlamagne. He liked the video. Then he commented on the video. Then mad people was in the comments like, oh, Envy's gay. Envy likes the video.
Starting point is 00:15:06 So then they pressured Envy to go back and unlike the video. I know you ain't buckling under the pressure of being gay, Envy. Envy, that's crazy. I didn't see that. You know when you were scrolling down and I liked it by accident? You saw it if you commented. I did comment. I left my comment.
Starting point is 00:15:18 I wasn't mad about the comment. You can't act like you did it by accident. What was your comment? I don't remember. What was my comment, Trav? I don't remember. His comment was, oh, that looks amazing. I did not say that.
Starting point is 00:15:29 I thought I saw him leave a comment that said, hashtag, I can do it better. You know what, Trav? You get mad at Trav? The fact that Trav even saw that is hilarious. And why did you look your thumb after you hung up on him? Why are you looking your thumb, bro? What's up with you? Why are you looking your thumb after this conversation? How did Trav even saw that is hilarious. And why did you look at your thumb after you hung up on me? Why are you looking at your thumb, bro? What's up with you? Why are you looking at your thumb after this conversation?
Starting point is 00:15:48 How did Trav see that? Hello. What's going on? What's going on? What's up? Black men don't cheat, brother. What? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Well, that's what I got a problem with. You know, I think Charlamagne should add two more words to the end of the black man don't cheat movement because you get a lot of women now like, oh, I know 10 guys, 10 black men that cheated. So I think the hashtag should be Black Man Don't Cheat No More. Why do I have to add that, sir?
Starting point is 00:16:15 Because a lot of the ladies is bringing up Black Man Don't Cheat. You know what I'm saying? When black men have cheated in the past, I think it should be black men don't cheat no more. I think that people are stupid. And I can't say the R word, but I would love to say the R word
Starting point is 00:16:32 and say that y'all are re- All right? Because the truth to the matter is if we're speaking in present tense, we're speaking in present tense. All right? Like, that's just what it is. Black men don't cheat.
Starting point is 00:16:44 I agree with you but you know how women always want to bring up the past let me tell you something about growth and evolution let me tell you something about growth and evolution it doesn't matter
Starting point is 00:16:51 if other people don't acknowledge your growth and evolution as long as you've grown and evolved that's what it is sounds like you're going through something personal

Starting point is 00:17:20 This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Big chocolate to toe sucker, good morning, it's toe time. How's everybody? Oh, God. All right. What do you want, bro?
Starting point is 00:17:34 You don't sound excited. Shame on you, Envy. So listen, I'd like to do my version of Charlemagne calling in late to work. Now, you remember, everybody, he sounds like Daffy Duck, so it sounds like this. Hello, Envy? Listen, but a scotch butt. This is Salome. I'm going to be late to work. I'm late to the studio.
Starting point is 00:17:48 What's that? No, I can't spell studio. So what? Why would I be calling Envy if I was late to work, sir? Huh? Yeah, that's a weird thing. Why would I be calling Envy if I was late to work? He just shows up late. Because you're a dum-dum, that's why.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Okay. All right. People are just so dumb this morning. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Alex from Atlanta. Alex, what up? Get it off your chest, bro. Hey, man, I got a bone to pick with Charlamagne.
Starting point is 00:18:11 You might like it. Come on, pick my bone, bro-bro. Hey, listen, man. So I was just listening to y'all, and what was that venue y'all were talking about yesterday? It was Afro what? Oh, the Afro Future Festival, I think it's called? Uh-huh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Yeah, the Afro Future Festival. Listen, Charlamagne, Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah, the Afro Future Festival. Listen, Charlamagne, the way you're going about it is totally wrong, my man. Really? Talk to me, Mr. White Man. Yeah, okay, yeah, exactly. So regardless if I'm white,
Starting point is 00:18:33 black, Hispanic, Asian, whatever, all you're doing is creating racial and social divisions between all races. Really? Yeah, regardless of the price. I don't mind if I'm paying
Starting point is 00:18:43 $20, $25, $30. It's not about that. It's about the way that you go ahead and wrap everyone up in the black community, in the white community, as one figure. So, like, you assume that all white people have privilege the same way that all black people have no privilege. And that's totally false. Well, listen, it is a privilege to be black. But let me tell you something. You ever heard of the racial wage gap in America?
Starting point is 00:19:03 Oh, for sure. Trust me. Yeah. Okay, so if there's a racial wage gap in America, what's wrong with some promoters trying to relieve some of the economic stress that black and brown people face by giving them a discount to this concert? Yeah, if you don't know what they're talking about, there was a concert in, I believe, Atlanta. No, it was a concert in Detroit. Oh, Detroit. Detroit. And they were trying to charge white people $20 and people of color, black people, $10.
Starting point is 00:19:27 And I don't see the problem with this simply because of the racial wage gap. Not to mention, when you look at a lot of these hip-hop concerts, a lot of the people that be there be white. And that's because a lot of black and brown people can't afford to go. So I don't see the problem with giving the descendants of the creators of the culture a discount. Does it bother you when they're like, okay, ladies free? You know what? Absolutely not. I agree with both of y'all. I live in Atlanta, right, where it is, on one side of the road,
Starting point is 00:19:51 it's completely poor and mostly dominated by black. And then on the other side of the street, 20 feet down is mostly white, where houses cost about $200,000 more. You know what I'm saying? So what's the problem? Why are you upset, sir? You're missing my point. You're missing my point. What I'm saying? So what's the problem? Why are you upset, sir? You're missing my point.
Starting point is 00:20:07 You're missing my point. What I'm saying is it's not about them. It's about you. What I'm saying is you're going about it the wrong way. I don't like white men telling me what I'm doing wrong. Because you'll never acknowledge what white people never, white men never acknowledge what they're doing wrong. What are white men doing wrong in America?
Starting point is 00:20:20 You're deflecting. Huh? You're deflecting a lot. You're not wanting to answer my question. What's the question? What I'm saying is, here's my question. Why are you creating a racial divide? There is an economic wage gap. That's definitely, you know, living in Atlanta, I see it every single day.
Starting point is 00:20:34 So what I'm trying to say is... So how am I creating the racial divide when these brothers in Detroit, they gave black people a discount, and I'm saying I agree with them doing that because of the racial wage gap. How is that a divide? That's not the point. What I'm saying is you're grouping all white people and all black people into one column.
Starting point is 00:20:50 That's what I'm saying. You're saying that all white people have way more money than all black people. I'm just breaking down the statistics in America, sir. The racial wage gap says black and brown people make significantly less than white people. What you want me to do about that? All right, guys. Spencer. What's going on, DZ that? All right, guys. Spencer. What's going on, DJ Envy?
Starting point is 00:21:07 You got some positivity for us today, bro? Yes, sir. First of all, I just want to say good morning. DJ Envy, Charlamagne, the guy, Angelique. Good morning. Good morning. I just want to say, you know, my sister, she went through a pretty bad depression after she had her baby,
Starting point is 00:21:22 but now she is very, she's more physically and mentally healthy than she was after that. I just want to shout her out to keep up the great job. Again, her waist trainers, Body by Caucasus. That's what she do. And I don't want to tell anybody, you know, going through depression, you know, just keep pushing. Don't stop. Seek help if you need it. Also, shout out to me and the guy. You know, going through depression, you know, just keep pushing. Don't stop.
Starting point is 00:21:46 Seek help if you need it. Also, Charlamagne Tha God, you know, she's big on you. I think she read your first book. Black Privilege. Thank you. Yes, sir. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:21:58 I love my sister, man. I love her, too. Thank you, guys, for everything you do. All right. We're sending some love, brother. And depression is real. And especially after you have a baby. Postpartum ain't no joke. Have a is real, and especially after you have a baby. Postpartum ain't no joke.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Have a good one, man. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Now, you even got rumors on the way? Yes, let's talk about some new things that are happening. While we were on vacation,
Starting point is 00:22:16 Kim Kardashian came under fire, and that was for her shapewear line, Kimono. We'll tell you what she might be changing the name to, see what you think about that.
Starting point is 00:22:24 And she talks about what her intentions were with Kimono. All right, keep it she might be changing the name to, see what you think about that. And she talks about what her intentions were with Kimono. Alright, keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. The rumor report. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report.
Starting point is 00:22:42 The Breakfast Club. Well, Kiki Palmer was on Watch What Happens Alive, and one caller asked her about what she thought about surviving R. Kelly. Now, while she was watching it, she had put on Instagram, just finished surviving R. Kelly, and I have spent the last hour crying. I will stand by my sisters because that's simply what's right and what I hope discontinues this behavior in anyone. Well, here's what she had to say on Watch What Happens Live.
Starting point is 00:23:07 That's not the side I knew. So, you know, just imagine that you're having a great experience with someone and then you're hearing all this stuff. It's like, why didn't you show them what you showed me? That's the feeling I had, and I hated talking about it because I felt like, man, you were a friend to me, but then I'm seeing you as a foe to others, and I'm hurt for them. It was very sad, and I think anybody that loved him as a person probably feels that way.
Starting point is 00:23:27 That's not something you want to hear about somebody that you care for. That's an honest answer. Two things can be true. He could have been a great person to Kiki Palmer and an abusing pedophile manipulator to everybody else. Yeah, she didn't see that side of him. Right. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:23:40 All right. Let's talk about Ryan Destiny. You know her from the show Star, which is now going to have a movie, right? To end that off. Well, she is going to also now be on Grown-ish. So congratulations to Ryan Destiny. She's going to have a recurring role on Grown-ish. She'll be playing Jillian, a transfer student from an HBCU who has come to study filmmaking at Cal U.
Starting point is 00:24:02 So I don't know if you guys watch. Do you watch Grown-ish? I definitely watch Grown-ish. Not too much. I see a bunch of episodes, but I if you guys watch, do you watch Grown-ish? I definitely watch Grown-ish. Not too much. I see a bunch of episodes, but I haven't seen it all. I love Grown-ish. Dropping the clues bombs
Starting point is 00:24:10 from my homegirl, Jenny Rice, who writes for Grown-ish. Yeah, it's a great show. Showrunner of Grown-ish. All right, now Kim Kardashian, let's discuss the whole kimono situation. She has her own shapewear line coming out, and it was called kimono for a hot
Starting point is 00:24:25 second, kimono intimates. And she had tread trademarked all of that and everything. But there was a lot of backlash from that. She has since responded to that backlash by saying she's not going to name it kimono anymore. And she said, despite initially standing her ground, she did apologize and said she would launch that line with a brand new name. She talked to the Wall Street Journal magazine and said, you would think we would have obviously thought it through a little bit deeper. I'm the first person to say, okay, of course, I can't believe we didn't think of this. I obviously had really innocent intentions, but let's listen.
Starting point is 00:24:56 And I went to really listen and I went to really take it all in. So that's why she's not using that name anymore. That's an honest answer, especially the fact that she said she filtered it through her team and nobody caught it. I'm surprised nobody said something, though. Like, you know what? I think this would be very offensive to the Japanese people if you did this, but you know, still an honest answer. Well, she tweeted out, we haven't renamed it, but do you guys
Starting point is 00:25:16 like the name Solutionware? Any other names to your liking? That's what happens when you have no Asian people on your team. They probably have no clue of what's wrong and what's not, of how it can offend somebody. I gotta have no Asian people on your team. They probably have no clue of what's wrong and what's not, of how it can offend somebody. So I got to have one of everybody on my team? No, but it's the same thing. Just to make sure?
Starting point is 00:25:31 A Japanese person? A Japanese person. Same thing with Gucci. When Gucci does the things that they do, they don't have African-American people on their team to be like, yo, this ain't right. Yeah, but I'm sure Kim's team isn't as big as Gucci to be that diverse. Yeah, they have different teams in different countries.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Gucci's huge. In a perfect world, though, you would have one of everybody on your team, but that's not the way things work. And I look at Gucci like it's based out of Italy, so a lot of people
Starting point is 00:25:54 that are on that team that are in the main office. But it's such a huge company. There's so many different things going on that I'm sure everyone doesn't approve everything. Now, for Kim, this is just her getting started. So I'm sure
Starting point is 00:26:05 like you said, her team isn't that big yet. So just a learning lesson. Alright, Jaden Smith, he has launched a pop-up food truck. It's called I Love You Restaurant and that pop-up food truck is for the homeless people in Los Angeles. It serves free vegan food
Starting point is 00:26:21 to people on Skid Row. So he explains all of that. He said the I Love You restaurant is a movement that is all about giving people what they deserve, healthy vegan food for free. Today we launched our first one-day food truck pop-up in downtown L.A. Keep a lookout because this is the first of many. That's amazing. Dropping the clues box for Jaden Smith.
Starting point is 00:26:40 I like that guy. Keep telling y'all he's the Gandhi of our time, damn it. And he's a cancer. To be able to do something like that when you have the means to help other people as much as possible, you should. All right, G-Eazy is really hoping to get the leading role of Elvis Presley in an upcoming movie about Elvis. They said he's not among the reported top names up for consideration, but he's trying to make a strong case to be considered for that. He's been talking to people at Warner Brothers. He's even had a few meetings with the director
Starting point is 00:27:08 making it clear that that's what he really wants. I don't want to see any movie about Elvis if they're not going to keep it real and show his love for underage girls. Okay? Yeah, I can't imagine that you can't tell that side of the story. You would have to tell. He married a 14-year-old, a 15-year-old,
Starting point is 00:27:23 however old she was. You'd have to tell that side of the story. Well, G-Eazy posted a picture of himself, and he said, don't be cruel to a heart that's true. And it looks like he's kind of tried to dress like Elvis there. But I don't know. Has he acted in anything before? Because that's going to be a huge role.
Starting point is 00:27:37 I'm not sure. That's going to be a huge role. I don't remember seeing him in anything. I mean, everybody that was around to see Elvis back in the day is dead, right? So they wouldn't know if it was true to life. Isn't that? Steve, I'm asking the white man in the room. Isn't that?
Starting point is 00:27:49 I don't think so. How old would Elvis have been now? We have to Google that. I don't think anybody knows off the top of their head. I wasn't an Elvis fan. I'm going to say 137. No, he ain't that old. I say 90-something.
Starting point is 00:28:00 I'm guessing, assuming. I don't know. How old would Elvis be right now? I can't even tell you what Elvis is. What's Elvis all? Don't be cruel. I just told you one. That's Bobby Brown. That's Bobby Brown be right now? I can't even tell you what Elvis is. What's Elvis all? Don't Be Cruel. I just told you one. That's Bobby Brown.
Starting point is 00:28:06 That's Bobby Brown. You're right. No, To A Heart That's True. That is a song that he has. That is Don't Be Cruel? Yeah, that's what I said. Don't Be Cruel. I said 80s.
Starting point is 00:28:14 To A Heart That's True. Did he do Blue Suede Shoes? Don't Step On My Blue Suede? I guess. Yeah, Elvis would have been 84. So yeah, there's some people that grew up on Elvis still alive. What's another Elvis song? You Ain't Nothin' But A Hound song? You ain't nothing but a hound dog.
Starting point is 00:28:27 You ain't nothing but a hound. Whatever he stole from Chuck Berry, them. That sounds like Chuck Berry. You ain't nothing but a hound dog. What else did Elvis steal from black people? Love Me Tender. That's another song he had. Jailhouse Rock.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Oh, I Can't Help Falling In Love. That's him too. I don't know nothing about no goddamn Elvis. I don't know nothing about that. All I know is he stole from black people and he had a love for one of these girls. All Shook Up. Wow, he had a lot of songs.
Starting point is 00:28:58 I didn't even know all these songs were his. He is a big deal. He's just a little bit. I know, but y'all don't know any songs. I don't. That's what I'm saying. I'm like, I didn't even realize., but y'all don't know any songs. I don't. That's what I'm saying. I'm like, I didn't even realize. My mama never played no Elvis when I grew up.
Starting point is 00:29:08 I don't know. I definitely didn't hear no Elvis growing up either. But I know Hound Dog. You ain't nothing but a hound dog. You know that song? No. It's been in movies. That's why I know it.
Starting point is 00:29:16 All right. Well, that is your Rumor Report. I'm Angela Yee. That was too much time talking about Elvis. We all had to go look it up. Sorry, I know he's... You know Tevin Campbell is not verified on Instagram?
Starting point is 00:29:28 Now that's disrespectful. Now we're talking about... I saw that. He was upset about that. Screw that Elvis guy. Now we're talking about some legendary people. Drop one of Clues Bond
Starting point is 00:29:35 for Tevin Campbell, damn it. Twitter verified Tevin Campbell immediately. Where did that just come from? He was mad about that. I don't know what it was. What is he not verified on? How you don't verify Tevin Campbell?
Starting point is 00:29:44 What is he not verified on? I don't know verify Tevin Campbell? What is he not verified on? I don't know which one. Is Twitter or Instagram? I guess something had happened to his account, he said, or something like that. And then he had a new account. He said, I'm the only 90s R&B artist that's not verified. All right, listen. You can't do Tevin Campbell like that.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Anybody out there who works at- He's verified on Twitter. Okay, so it must be Instagram. If you work at Instagram and Tevin Campbell is not verified, you need to ask yourself why. The man that gave us Can We Talk, I'm Ready, OK, Always In My Heart. Why is Tevin Campbell not verified on Instagram? He said he deleted his old IG. That one had over 40,000 followers and they still said, boy, bye.
Starting point is 00:30:16 I love how y'all lifted the energy up because I was getting depressed talking about whoever that Elvis guy is. But this legend named Tevin Campbell? Now you got me interested in the conversation. I got L'Oreal. She just got verified on Instagram and she was very excited. How was L'Oreal verified
Starting point is 00:30:29 before Tevin Campbell? L'Oreal ain't never looked family talk. How was a little burger verified before Tevin Campbell? Come on, man. Just in case you ain't know who Tevin Campbell is.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Instagram, do the right thing. I know it's people that work at Instagram that listen to The Breakfast Club. Go verify Tevin Campbell right now. What's his Instagram page? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Tevin Campbell, I'm guessing? No, it't know. Tevin Campbell, I'm guessing. No, it's not. Tevin Campbell, I'm guessing. That's not it. That's not it? No. All right, well, that's why it's difficult. Go verify Tevin Campbell, man.
Starting point is 00:30:55 This is disrespectful. All right, front page news is next. What are we talking about? We are going to be talking about why shoppers might be boycotting Home Depot. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:31:08 And ah! You ain't even get to that part yet. Relax. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news. What are we talking about, Yee?
Starting point is 00:31:20 Well, let's talk about Home Depot. Shoppers are threatening to boycott, and that is because the co-founder actually did an interview, and he's donating to Donald Trump's re-election bid. He said he's got a businessman's common sense approach to most things. Now, do
Starting point is 00:31:35 I agree with every move that he makes? No, I don't. But the truth is, he has produced more than anybody else he has. If you look at this country, I would say that we are better off today than we were eight years ago or six years ago. So a lot of people were on social media saying they're never shopping there again, cutting up my card,
Starting point is 00:31:51 and the hashtag Boycott Home Depot went viral last night as more and more people got word of what Marcus had to say. Bernie Marcus. What did he say again? He is donating to Donald Trump's re-election bid, and he said he's got a businessman's common sense approach to most things and that this country is better off today than we were eight years ago or six years ago. The bad thing about Home Depot, they really have a monopoly.
Starting point is 00:32:14 You could say Lowe's, but Home Depot is everywhere. And if you go to your local hardware store, most of the time the prices are a little higher, so that's kind of hard to just boycott. You can buy things online, too. You can try. That's crazy, too, because Mexicans are synonymous with Home Depot, so that's kind of hard to just boycott. You can buy things online, too. You can try. That's crazy, too, because Mexicans are synonymous with Home Depot, and that is a fact. That is, yeah. You can go to a lot of places in America and go to a Home Depot,
Starting point is 00:32:32 and you see a lot of Mexicans standing in front of Home Depot. Yeah, they go there for work most of the time. All right, now let's talk about an 8-month-old girl. This is really sad. An 8-month-old girl died, and several of the children were hospitalized. This is because a fire broke out in an apartment in Nashville and guess what happened? The mothers were out at a club.
Starting point is 00:32:50 So there were five kids between the ages of one and six. Four of them were siblings that were rescued and taken to the children's hospital and then the eight month old died at the scene. And her 23 month old brother is in critical condition. Parents should be locked up. No mom should be locked up. Whoever left them children like that in the ages from 1 to 6 should go to jail.
Starting point is 00:33:07 The children's mothers were ages 23 and 25. They went to a nightclub Saturday night, Sunday morning. This is what happened. They got to go to jail. That's so crazy. Growing up, I used to hear so many stories like that in Charleston, South Carolina. Women leaving their kids in the club. I mean, leaving their kids in their apartment to go to the club.
Starting point is 00:33:24 I used to hear so many stories like that. Like, I know a person personally that did that. Really? Yes, absolutely. I know a couple people actually. They should definitely go to jail for that. There's no way in the hell you should be living at six years old. The oldest kid was six years old.
Starting point is 00:33:34 At six, no way in the hell. You should definitely go to jail. Definitely. Hands down. You don't leave the kids. What, they're not going to jail? I thought that was a mandatory. That's a given.
Starting point is 00:33:42 And they're going to take the kids away. Absolutely. Yeah, really sad. That's a given. Who said they're to take the kids away. Absolutely. Yeah, really sad. That's a given. Who said they're not going to jail? Just making sure. Oh. Well, yeah. I don't think they've been arrested yet. Oh, they definitely will. And them kids are going to get turned over to the property of the state. And they're saying that it's not clear
Starting point is 00:33:55 whether or not they had actually hired a babysitter, so they're still investigating what happened. But there was no babysitter there. If she went to the club, that's not the first time she did that. Alright, now a man said he slit a 17-year-old's throat because he didn't like that rap music, and the rap music made him feel unsafe. Elijah Al-Amin, he was only 17 years old.
Starting point is 00:34:14 He'd been working at Subway and at Taco Bell. He was trying to save up money for his car, and he was stabbed to death in Peoria, Arizona. And the man said the rap music just made him feel unsafe. It was in a convenience store just before 2 a.m. The mayonnaise is heavy on that story. Michael Paul Adams, 27 years old, he lunged at him and stabbed him in the back
Starting point is 00:34:32 and slit his throat. Because his rap music was too loud. Now, when I give Michael Paul Adams donkey of the day later, and you know, I'll point out the blatant racism and bigotry, it's going to be white people that call up here and tell me I'm creating a racial divide based off me calling out his BS. That's the way it works
Starting point is 00:34:47 in America, sir. My goodness. All right. Last front page news. All right, when we come back, Master P will be joining us. The living legend, Master P. He has a new movie,
Starting point is 00:34:57 I Got the Hook Up 2, that comes out, I believe, on the 12th, I want to say. And he is about his business. Yeah, he is out here working because he was at Essence Music Festival. He was.
Starting point is 00:35:07 He just came right here. Yeah, so we'll kick it with Master P when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired?
Starting point is 00:35:16 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. There just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.

I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition.
Starting point is 00:35:41 The Waikana tried 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.
Starting point is 00:35:55 Bullets. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know
Starting point is 00:37:22 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.
Starting point is 00:37:58 Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

The living legend. Master P. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:38:25 What's up, y'all? Now, P.I. Senior came on with some sneakers. Now, are those sneakers the Zions? Yeah. Is that what we doing? This is the Maniades, man. You know what I'm saying? Zion might have Nike or Adidas, but guess what?
Starting point is 00:38:37 I got these for all the court. You got the leopard print. That's the leopard. That's the high-end fashion. Did Zion ever reply for the $20 million deal y'all put out there for him? I'm just saying. That's what I'm asking. You know what? That's on him, though fashion. Did Zion ever reply for the $20 million deal y'all put out there for him? I'm just saying. That's what I'm asking. You know what? That's on him, though.
Starting point is 00:38:47 You know what I tell you all the time? You got to make product. We're not Nike. We don't own none of that stuff. Why? We can't do this. And that's what this is about. Us creating a way and an opportunity for us.
Starting point is 00:38:57 So this is a new way to buy shoes. You're able to buy this online. Because people don't want to go to the stores no more. So it's like, you know what? Get your high-end fashion online. Go to Mayitis.com, and we got the hookup for you. Is that even possible for you to be able to get a shoe deal outside of your shoe you're wearing? You know what?
Starting point is 00:39:13 That's why we have to know our business because you don't have to sign a deal to wear shoes off the court. You can wear whatever you want to wear unless you're tied into some type of lifetime deal or something like that. But, I mean when you go out, you wear whatever. You're not on the basketball court. I think as athletes, we have to take control of our own destination to be honest, which is all about
Starting point is 00:39:35 negotiation and knowing your power. So I feel like this could be something big. Maybe if not him, it's going to be somebody that's going to look a quiet little man. I like that dude, he think out of the box you know what I'm saying? Man, look, he wasn't worried about none of that stuff he went and got his money and said, look, man, I'm going to do
Starting point is 00:39:52 what's best for me. Absolutely. I feel like for us, when you look at this, we all talk about Versace and Gucci, we don't own none of this every time we sell one of these shoes, we're putting money back into the community, you know what I'm saying? So this goes to helping-city kids with education. Now, how does the city feel right now with the new Pelicans now, with Zion?
Starting point is 00:40:12 Exciting. Oh, yeah. No, it's exciting, man, to be honest with you all. We just left Essence, and the city excited. You know what I'm saying? Zion got a chance to do something, you know, especially if they win. I know it's going to take a little while, but if they win, like, the city will be behind him. They will excited. You know what I'm saying? Zion got a chance to do something, you know, especially if they win. I know it's going to take a little while, but if they win, like the city will be behind him.
Starting point is 00:40:29 They will be. That's one thing about New Orleans. You know, I feel like this is an opportunity for him, like what Jordan did for Chicago. You know what I'm saying? Coming to, even though Chicago a bigger city, but New Orleans definitely is that platform now where a lot of stars are coming from, And it's about to be big down there.
Starting point is 00:40:47 I think people are scared for Zion, though, because New Orleans got all that good food. And they want him to watch his weight. Yeah, well, you know what? You got to do that anyway. Wherever you go, it's called discipline. New Orleans is worse, though. You know, but it's discipline. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:40:58 It's discipline. Wherever you go, you can get into whatever. You get some healthier options. I mean, it's a hood in every city, everywhere you go. So people get caught up with that. Man, my thing is, you know, it's a hood in every city, everywhere you go, so people get caught over there. Man, my thing is, you know,
Starting point is 00:41:07 you got to do what's best for you. You have to police yourself. Now, Essence must have felt amazing for you this year because you guys did the screening for I Got the Hook Up 2
Starting point is 00:41:15 and it sold out. Yes. So what was it like screening that movie there? Yeah, did he call you? I didn't get a call. I didn't get a call. Damn, P.
Starting point is 00:41:21 We was down there, too. Juju hit me and she was like, hey, are you in? Y'all know y'all was inviting. Now, get out y'all feelings, dog, for real. Yeah. Get out y'all feelings.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Y'all worse than Tyler Perry, dog. For real. I wanted to buy tickets, but it was sold out. Let me tell you something. I bumped into Tyler Perry right there, so I'm thinking, like, I don't really know, bro. I'm like, man, get out your feelings, dog. Like, I was thinking, like. We had a run-in or something? No, I don't even, like,'m like man get out your feelings dog like I was thinking like we had a run-in or something no I don't even like it's just the spirits wasn't right you know
Starting point is 00:41:49 like you from the all you think now I'm doing movies I guess maybe like man now you're doing movies now whatever but I've been doing movies right so I bump into him and uh I'm thinking he gonna be yeah big brother I'm proud of you the movie I got the hook up to you know the big screening was big the whole city showed up, you know. It was just, like, awkward. Like, you were scared or something. Like, bro, you know, like, man, I'm happy for you. You know, it's another opportunity for all of us.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Because, really, I tell people all the time, it's really not that much money for us to make in filmmaking because we don't own that. I heard the speech he said on BET and all that, man. But that's what we talk. Maybe because seven years ago we talked like, look, man, let's hook up and do something. But then you don't show up. But that's my first time seeing him. I forgot about all that.
Starting point is 00:42:33 So I'm just like, man, look, I'm thinking it's going to be, you know, like we took the city over, like you said. But it was like, I don't know, dog. You didn't invite him. See, he was mad he didn't get invited to. You know what, dog? Y'all know y'all could just show up. He know he could just show up. That ain't the kind of thing you just show up at, though.
Starting point is 00:42:50 I'm sure it was packed. It was crazy. To be honest with you, we brought Hollywood to New Orleans, and we did something that is history because this movie is owned by me and Romeo as a father and son, a star in this film, and also financing. Like I said, it's only 5%. I mean, you know there's 5% of all the production owned by African-Americans. 95%.
Starting point is 00:43:12 That means we don't own nothing. So you see us on all these big films and all these big projects, but the real money is in the production. Even with me, I watch them like they don't really want us to own the production part. They want us to be in front of the camera. I had to really go take one. I just wanted to check it out. So I took a project, like a no-limit project, even to a BET.
Starting point is 00:43:33 I'm like, man, it was just hard to get it through the system. Even though I got the money and everything, it don't matter. And I got another person of another color to go and went right through. Damn, that's crazy. That's crazy to me. You know, and I'm just like, it's like you, I seen when you, when you had Connie on because I talked to Connie too and I'm telling her, I'll be telling her like, you know what, you really have to get involved in this and really be about to change.
Starting point is 00:43:57 Cause I seen when you asked about the Nipsey Hussle thing, you ain't go too in detail with it. But I like what you said. Like, was Nipsey up for that before he passed? And she told you no. You know, and I was like, that was crazy because a humanitarian, we've been in the community for years, over 20-something years.
Starting point is 00:44:15 You know, Snoop Dogg. Y'all know Nipsey, my dog. Like, that's my boy. But I'm like, man, give people their flowers while they're here. You don't just get caught up into the hype thing. That's why I introduced you as a living legend. You remember Nipsey's daddy was trying
Starting point is 00:44:27 to say that. Why y'all didn't get up to my son while he was here? You know what I'm saying? I just think that everybody get caught up whatever's hot instead of doing what's right. And that's my thing with Kanye that I'm going to talk to about. If she want to talk, if not, it's cool. But it's like, you know, you got to be real. You got to be real. You can't do this. This man deserved
Starting point is 00:44:43 a lot of this stuff while he was here and I just think that for the humanitarian award that was a big thing for you know what I'm saying like last year you could've got that last year
Starting point is 00:44:53 yeah I don't even think they knew who he was last year we got into it with the guy at the thing they was acting like
Starting point is 00:44:58 they ain't know him they had him perform at the pre-show with YG okay so if that was mere 50 cent we wouldn't even be able to get into the BET Awards. Nope.
Starting point is 00:45:07 This year. Thank him by it. And then his music was crazy. His music was incredible last year. The year before that. It was the best rap album of the year. I said that numerous times. And guess what?
Starting point is 00:45:18 Why he get it this year? Because that was already passed. The same album. That's sold 52,000 copies when he first came out two years ago and now it's gone to a million. So I just feel like, man, us as people, we got to be real.
Starting point is 00:45:32 Like you said, we've seen the thing with Tyler Perry talk about ownership, but man, look, we got to be real with each other. We got to come together. We got to stop. You know, we can't be faking with each other. I think maybe, I remember, I said in an interview one time,
Starting point is 00:45:46 I wouldn't put no dress on. That's the truth. I don't care who it is. I ain't put no dress on to make no money. That's just me. But it's not meaning to nobody. So I don't know if people take that the wrong way or whatever. That's just me as a man.
Starting point is 00:45:59 All right, we got more with Master P when we come back. Let's get into a Master P and No Limit mini mix. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was a Master P, No Limit mini mix. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was a Master P No Limit mini mix. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy,
Starting point is 00:46:10 Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Master P. Charlamagne? Now, what about when you own your own stuff
Starting point is 00:46:16 the way Tyler does? Because I used to think that way about Tyler, too, but I was like, man, he was putting the dress on because he wanted to, not because somebody
Starting point is 00:46:21 made him to. That's who I am. I don't care about that. That's what I'm saying. So I feel like we all got our opinions. Like, I got the hookup, too. I mean, this is a big movie for us. This is a movement.
Starting point is 00:46:33 This is not just a movie. Like, they don't own this because you got to realize, man, why it's so important. When we do a project like Black Panther, we didn't benefit off of that, man. Like, people, we look at us. Black people was in the movie. We was happy and excited, but it wasn't us. Yeah, yeah, for me. So this is, even though a movie like this,
Starting point is 00:46:51 so think about this. A movie like I got to hook up to. We did this for the budget. We did it for, and we did it for millions of dollars. But imagine if we had hundreds of millions of dollars to make a project. How would it look? So this is the growth.
Starting point is 00:47:04 This is why this is important because we're coming back into the community, putting money back into the community. But it's a process. We got to grow with this, just like I did with music. I just didn't jump straight out and make hundreds of millions of dollars. It was a process because the production has to get bigger and bigger. So that's why I was saying we have to support us because this is only one of a few ways about to go at.
Starting point is 00:47:25 Now, you did you back this all yourself or did you have investors? Well, people like I'm to help you. I'm jumping in on this. Man, a lot of people talked about that. But at the end of the day, they wasn't there. So me and Romeo end up putting our own money. We had one hundred and twenty six speaking roles in this film. Y'all broke a Guinness World Record, Guinness Book of World Records for the most speaking roles in a film. You know, and this is big because we put underdogs. And I think that's what a lot of people,
Starting point is 00:47:49 you look at a DC Young Fly, you look at a Fatboy SSE. Jess Hilarious. Jess Hilarious, P.O., A.J. Johnson, John Weatherspoon. A lot of these people, the younger people,
Starting point is 00:48:01 they wouldn't have mixed them up together like this. This is a two-generation. So this has to be done. This is going to change the way films are marketed. Juju's in this film. I mean, this is crazy to cast, but they all worked. They all came to work and did what they had to do. I mean, you got
Starting point is 00:48:17 like a Gary Johnson, a guy that should have been famous, should have been big, funny, hilarious, you know, but Hollywood, they turned their back on the real. So that's my thing for us. This is going to open up doors for every African-American and Latino filmmaker, minority. Like, you can own your
Starting point is 00:48:33 own business after this. You can own your own product. That's what this is about. So let's talk about the rollout of it, because it is in theaters, but then you also can get it and stream it? Yeah, so what you can do, so think about this, y'all. They figured out a way to block us, so I want to thank AMC to come
Starting point is 00:48:49 to the table. You know, it's an African-American lady named Nicole that just opened up the doors for us to put us in theaters, but they stop you. They'll limit you in the theaters because they don't get none of the money. So we have to keep fighting, keep fighting and building this and building this
Starting point is 00:49:05 so at the same time, we can put this on video on demand. You can go on iTunes and download this. So it's a new way that they can't stop us. Even with the power of the Internet, they won't be able to stop us no more. You know what I'm saying? That's the great thing about the Internet and the way technology has changed
Starting point is 00:49:21 because some people want their movies now. So you'll be able to get it on demand at the same time. I found out the other day that theaters don't make money off the movie. Yeah. Well, you know what? It all depends. It depends how they market it. You know, like if they're going to put the big marketing dollars behind you to make sure.
Starting point is 00:49:40 So you got to really realize what it is. That's why I say we got to come together because it's all about space and inventory. So if they put you in the right space so you can sell. So that's what our people don't understand. Like, yeah, you have some great movies that should have been blockbusters, but they don't have the space. It's almost like if you put a product out and they don't put you on the shelf. You know, so those are the type of things that we really have to learn. That's what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Ownership is so important. You spoke about Nipsey. He's got a song on the soundtrack, and he said he recorded it two days before his death? Yeah, so one thing about Nipsey, man, he was always a stand-up guy. He's probably one of the most realest guys I've met that if I ask him for something, he's going to send it. He's going to get it done. He's going to go go no question, no talk. He looked up
Starting point is 00:50:28 to you though. He used to call his label No Limit of the West. Yeah. Let me tell you how I met him. I met him with Lowe from Chicago. He moved out there in the Cali. He was 1,500. He hooked us up. Say, man, look, you know, you out in L.A., man. You and Nipsey need to get together. When we got to the studio, he was 1,500. He hooked us up, said, man, look, you know, you out in L.A., man.
Starting point is 00:50:45 You and Nipsey need to get together. And when we got to the studio, it was magic. We just started making songs. I think we made like over 17, 18 songs just dropping them. So, you know, we had remixed that rap song, too. We had remixed it. It was supposed to be me, Jeezy, Boosie, and Jay-Z. Wow.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Yeah, so. Did that get done? It's done. It's done. It's done. So they're probably going to put that out. But that's what I'm saying, man. These record companies, we got to stop. We got to stop all these people from controlling what we have.
Starting point is 00:51:13 You know, because even right now, look at all the money they're making off them. Is his kids really going to get that? How long the process? How do that take? You know, because now you're dealing with a state, and you're dealing with record companies. So that's why I was saying we have to take control because i mean he was with atlantic records at the same time you know so those are the type of things i was trying to show him when he was alive
Starting point is 00:51:33 like look man and he was doing it but it's just sad tragedy to where you know you come from somewhere and you die in that same hood and that's my thing to educate the next generation that we have to figure out how can we you know educate ourselves even about the environments that we're in. Because it's about putting things in our community, but it's also about surviving and living to be able to, you know, to be there to make sure. I mean, his kids, you know, his girl, his mom, his dad. I mean, this is a tragedy for them, man. This guy should still be here today. You told Page Six you would get more respect if you were a white businessman.
Starting point is 00:52:07 You've been speaking on that, though. Yeah, you know what the sad thing about it? I was saying that for, like, even the athletes and entertainers. Like, we'll talk. We don't want to give us what we do because of our skin color and what you're saying. Or either, like, what we was talking about when we talked about Kodak, we'll give this guy 10% or 15% or even 20% not even thinking about it. But with us, we got to, oh, well, what's this for?
Starting point is 00:52:32 I mean, if I'm going to go get you a deal, I deserve a percentage. That's just business. Yeah, you don't even ask the white man no question. Nothing. Just like right now, I mean, just like you said, it's like I think even with him, I think after he get out of jail this time, he's going to wake up and see that these lawyers are robbing them. They are taking his money. I mean, he even posted up.
Starting point is 00:52:51 It's like, so those are the type of things. But you know, the lawyer going to come back and say, well, man, he was talking about the lip. Nah, man, that man know after a while you will see. Sometime God going to put you through something. You're going to see maybe you at a stage in your life where you don't want to see that. But you will eventually grow up and start saying, man, well, how much this cost? Because they're not doing it for free.
Starting point is 00:53:11 Any of those lawyers, I mean, whether NBA young boy in jail, whoever in jail right now, those lawyers are not working for free. They're going to get their money off top. They're going to suck every quarter you got until you don't have them no more. Then they're going to forget about you. What does Master P want now like what are you eyeing is is it i want like what's what's
Starting point is 00:53:29 next on your on your bucket list you you did the music you did the movies what do you want to own like what's the next chapter for master p well i mean it's all about product now it's about product and it's about the movies now i feel like we haven't tapped into the movies as African-Americans. I mean, I'm talking about really controlling. To be able to have those budgets, $100 million, $200 million, making those type of films, we have to take over this niche market, what we're doing now, and build up and build up and build up. Because once you control the entertainment side of this,
Starting point is 00:54:02 you will control for us, the soundtracks, the everything in this. So I feel like we'll be able to give people more jobs. We'll be able to help more people. But we also could, because as African-Americans, Latinos,
Starting point is 00:54:14 we spend over a trillion dollars a year, but none of the money coming back to us. But is that possible? Because, you know, we talk about it all the time. Like, you look at somebody like a Zion.
Starting point is 00:54:24 Yeah. Let's say Zion went to an HBCU. What that would do to that HBCU community would be way bigger. Let's say Zion signed with you instead of a Nike or a Reebok. What it would do for our own community would be way more. It just takes that one person to do it. But is that one person willing to do it? Well, you got to think out the box.
Starting point is 00:54:39 We just talked about Kawhi Leonard. Like, he thinks out the box. Somebody's going to see the vision. You know, everybody's not running away from what we got to do. Like I said, this is a real movement. Somebody's going to have to start. So that's the case.
Starting point is 00:54:52 You can talk about me starting No Limit 20 years ago. Nobody wanted to do it. Everybody just wanted to be on the radio. Everybody just wanted to have records out. I had to say, I'm taking everything I got and put into this and grow with it. You might not see it right now. You might think I got the hookup, too.
Starting point is 00:55:07 Oh, well, you know, this is a hood movie. No, this ain't a hood movie. This is the start of something big. And somebody has to do it. Well, I Got the Hookup 2 comes out July 12th in theaters. Definitely go check it out. Purchase your tickets. If it's not in your area, buy tickets anyway and support.
Starting point is 00:55:21 And you said they can stream it as well, right? Yeah. Go to iTunes and you can download it from there. Pre-order it now. Alright. Well, it's Master P. We appreciate you for joining us. Yes, sir. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Alright. Early in the morning to be making out what this man is saying on this song.
Starting point is 00:55:36 What song is this? Controller. That's Drake. Controller. This whole time I didn't know that was Drake. No, that wasn't Drake. Drake's on the song. Oh, he is. You know what? Morning, everybody. It's DJ. Don't Drake speak patois? Patois?
Starting point is 00:55:48 Yeah, don't Drake speak patois? Why are you saying it like that, man? Like what? Patois? It is patois. Patois? Who patois is worse, Drake or Safari? Let's be honest about this.
Starting point is 00:55:58 Huh? Come on now. It shouldn't be too hard of a decision. Who are you dating? I don't know. That's two number one seeds going at it for who got the worst patois. You got the worst patois. It's not even patois.
Starting point is 00:56:10 I don't try to speak patois, though. They actually try to speak patois all the time. Can you stop saying that word, man? You're making me uncomfortable, brother. I'm making you uncomfortable? Yes. You just played a whole song with a guy doing fake patois, but now I'm making you uncomfortable. You know what?
Starting point is 00:56:21 Okay. We got rumors on the way. What are we talking about? Well, let's talk about a show that might be coming back that you guys, I'm sure, all watched and loved. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On Breakfast Club. So listen up.
Starting point is 00:56:39 Well, looks like Diddy might be bringing back one of his signature shows. And you might be thinking, is it coming to Revolt? Doesn't look like it. Check it out. MTV called me out of nowhere and was like, hey, what do you think about partnering and bringing, making the band back? I was like, man, something's so great. Sometimes you don't need to mess with it. And I said, I don't think that there's a lot of new up-and-coming artists that can really handle my level of intense coaching.
Starting point is 00:57:07 So I'm kind of on the fence about it, and I need your help. Say, at Diddy, hashtag I want my MTV. Y'all thought the cheesecake was some. Well, while Diddy's waiting on whether he should bring Making the Band Back or not, BET has a show called The Next Big Thing, which premieres tonight at 9 p.m. The judges are Damon Dash, Tina Davis, Zaytoven. Nipsey Hussle is one of the coaches.
Starting point is 00:57:32 Rest in peace to Nipsey Hussle. And I'm hosting the finale of that. Why wouldn't Diddy do that or Revolt? Because nobody watches Revolt. Probably because MTV might own it also, maybe. Because MTV probably does own it, but nobody watches Revolt. And Revolt probably just doesn't have the budget to do something of that magnitude. Well, Seth Rogen said, I just want to see Dylon spit hot fire.
Starting point is 00:57:50 Oh, damn. Now, come on now. You're not bringing Dylon back if you're not making a band. This would be a whole new crop of people, right? Well, Aubrey said that they're the ones that made that show, so they should be involved in it somehow. Young Aubrey just needs a check. Now, I'm going to tell you what would be fun. If they brought back some of the original members of Making the Band, like Babs,
Starting point is 00:58:05 and dial on them to coach some of the new kids. That would make sense. Alright, well, I guess... But if y'all damn near 40 still trying to make the band, I don't want to see that. That's just going to be sad. Might be coming back. Alright, now, let's talk about A$AP Rocky and his situation.
Starting point is 00:58:22 We told you what happened in Sweden. We've seen the video footage that A$AP Rocky posted of two men harassing him, following him. And it escalated into a situation where there was an altercation and now A$AP Rocky is in jail. They're saying that he's in terrible conditions by the way, while he's in jail. They said he's sleeping
Starting point is 00:58:38 on a yoga mat. He's in solitary confinement. And they said there's feces, all kinds of issues there. So here's what A$AP Rocky's lawyer has to say now. He's suspected of an assault, but not a severe assault as the prosecutor wanted. But unfortunately found that there is a risk of him leaving the country, which I really don't understand why the court could find that,
Starting point is 00:59:03 because he would be glad to come back to court trial later on. And I was very surprised about the district court's decision. So we will see what the court of appeals says, but I'm confident. Now, why wouldn't A$AP Rocky go back? Of course he would. He's A$AP Rocky. Where could he hide? Yeah, and how's he going to get out of the country? I emailed, what's his name, Brian Leach? Brian Leach.
Starting point is 00:59:24 Yeah, my man Hovain gave me Brian Leach's email yesterday. I emailed him and connected him with somebody that could help ASAP, but I don't know if Brian replied or not. Because I had a friend who was in the same exact situation, got into a fight in Sweden earlier this year, and they had him just sitting there. Same exact thing. Telling him he's going to get a bunch of jail time, six years,
Starting point is 00:59:40 something like that. But they got him home. Yeah, they said the person in the cell next to him has severe mental issues and keeps slamming his head against the concrete wall and throwing his own feces around and they're not cleaning the feces up. He's only had one apple to eat in the past
Starting point is 00:59:55 five days because the water isn't clean and he just can't eat the food and it's filthy. Well, that guy that's slamming his head against that concrete wall is clearly not slamming his head against that concrete wall hard enough. Because that would stop after a couple of hours. Tyler, the creator, said, no more Sweden for me ever. Schoolboy Q said, I'm not going no more either. Hashtag Flaco.
Starting point is 01:00:12 And T.I. reposted that and said, well, there it is. Sweden's now officially outside of the culture on the no-go list until they free Flaco. It's up. And Little Yachty said, me three will never hit Sweden again. Me four. Never been. Never had any plans of going. I don't see why I would go to Sweden.
Starting point is 01:00:30 All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Rumor Reports. Shout out to my name. Yes. We're giving that donkey two. Listen, man, it's a white devil out there named Michael Paul Adams. We need him to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a war with him. And if you're upset that I called him a white devil, just wait until you hear the story.
Starting point is 01:00:45 And if you're still upset after you hear the story of me, then you're probably a white devil too. All right, we'll get into that next Keep It Locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary?
Starting point is 01:00:58 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. There are 55 gallons of water for 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 Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade 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
Starting point is 01:01:29 a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakatistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-A-S-T-A-N 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,
Starting point is 01:02:16 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,
Starting point is 01:02:49 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.
Starting point is 01:03:30 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
Starting point is 01:03:41 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. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we were having this conversation. Actually, Michelle Obama was out in Essence, and she was talking talking about marriage thinking about marriage like we think about sports and like you picking
Starting point is 01:04:08 your team I mean my husband is my teammate and if if we are going to win this game together he has to be strong and he has to be okay with me being strong I do not want a weak player on my team, nor does he. But sometimes we accept weak in one another because it feels easy. And that brought up this discussion about teammates and independence and relationships. And we were saying that if you're in a relationship, can you be independent? Angela Yee believes, yes, you can. Yes, I believe both people should have their own sense of independence, their own sense of self, their own sense of self-worth. And I think that's important.
Starting point is 01:04:49 I don't want to feel like I'm in a relationship and that person is dependent on me for certain things. I think that people should want to get to rely on you for things. They should want to, but that doesn't mean that they have to. Now, me being married for 18 years and together with my wife for 25 years, I'll be honest with you, there is no independence in my relationship. Mine neither. There is none.
Starting point is 01:05:10 Like, I rely on my wife. My wife relies on me. We rely on each other. There is no, I don't make a move without her knowing, without her understanding. If I buy a pair of jeans, if I go to the store, I'm like, babe, I'm going to the store to buy some jeans. Like, it is what it is. And the same thing with her. If she goes to get groceries, babe, I'm going to get groceries. buy some jeans. Like, it is what it is. And the same thing with her. If she goes to get groceries, babe, I'm going to get groceries.
Starting point is 01:05:26 I'm spending this much. That's just how we are. But she's independent enough to be able to go and get groceries and make those decisions. Well, she's not handicapped. She's in a wheelchair. But, you know, we discuss everything. She can go out with her friends. She just went on a girls trip with her girls.
Starting point is 01:05:40 What? It's important to have your own individuality. But that's not independence, though. That's just take somebody, Like you said about self-worth That's self-care That's somebody you know Taking time for themself Because you still have to
Starting point is 01:05:49 Be the best you In order for us To be the best us We still have that discussion Even though she went We had a discussion Even though when I go somewhere We have that discussion
Starting point is 01:05:56 That's not saying You can't discuss things But you're still An independent person I think I'm a happily married man I think once you get Into a relationship with someone
Starting point is 01:06:04 It's a team You're trying to win together It's a union Y'all are in this together And I think I'm a happily married man. I think once you get into a relationship with someone, it's a team. You're trying to win together. It's a union. Y'all are in this together. And I think, you know, saying that you're independent defeats the whole purpose of being on a team. There's nothing wrong with being dependent on your partner. And what Michelle Obama said is real. Two strong people come together to form a team.
Starting point is 01:06:20 Celebrate that the same way we celebrate Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant coming together. Or Paul George and Kawhi Leonard coming together. Those players on that court are dependent on each other. So why do we look at relationships any different? But I don't think that you can't. Like, I think two strong independent people come together and make a great team. But you're still an independent individual. Not when you're a team.
Starting point is 01:06:39 It's an ideal situation when we're both super independent, super motivated, and we choose to come together. Listen, you may have been an independent artist winning on your own, but once you sign to a major label, that independence is gone because you are partnering with someone, and that's fine because the end goal is for both of you to win. Sykes. Yo. Yo, do you feel you could be independent in a relationship?
Starting point is 01:06:57 Yeah, you have to be independent in a relationship. Mm-hmm. Explain. And, well, I'm not going to say it in start. I've been that ain't-a-guy, excuse my language, and had to be dependent of the other person. It didn't work out at all. And I feel like, you know, if you can't take care of yourself,
Starting point is 01:07:15 you can't help your partner out at all. Yeah, and you know what, too? I tried to be independent in my relationship. I tried to do stuff on my own, and I'm the big bad man, and I got to do this. It didn't work out well for me. Not at all. And I think a lot of people are looking at this from a financial level and not an emotional,
Starting point is 01:07:29 spiritual, mental level. It sounds like that last caller was talking about from a financial perspective. Janet. Hello. Hi, good morning, Breakfast Club. Now, are we talking, can you be independent in a relationship? Absolutely not. I was married before and I couldn't rely on my ex-husband not even to drop off my daughter to the daycare.
Starting point is 01:07:45 What's the point? You know? You share the responsibilities when you're in a union. That's a fact. So he was dependent on you, but you weren't dependent on him. But I couldn't depend on him. Right, you couldn't depend on him. You had a weak teammate.
Starting point is 01:07:57 Correct. You had a teammate you couldn't trust in the fourth quarter with that basketball. But imagine both of you were independent and responsible enough to handle those responsibilities. Right. No, imagine both of y'all were strong teammates. Imagine he was just as good a player of you were independent and responsible enough to handle those responsibilities. Right. No, imagine both of y'all were strong teammates. Imagine he was just as good a player as you were.
Starting point is 01:08:10 Well, he wasn't. That's why we didn't flourish. Exactly. Thank you, Mama. 800-585-1051. Can you be independent in a relationship? Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:08:19 Good morning. We are The Breakfast Club. We're talking about being independent in a relationship. Michelle Obama was at Essence over the weekend, and she had this to say about marriages. Thinking about marriage like we think about sports and like you pick in your team. I mean, my husband is my teammate, and if we are going to win this game together, he has to be strong, and he has to be okay with me being strong. I do not want a weak player on my team, nor does he. But sometimes we accept weak in one another because it feels easy.
Starting point is 01:08:53 So we're asking, 800-585-1051, can you be independent in relationships? Yee doesn't agree necessarily. Yeah, I wouldn't want somebody to try to smother me and not allow me to make my own decisions and be an independent person. Now, I love the fact that I can call my man and get his opinion on things and get his support, but I know that I'm very capable of doing things and I know he's very capable of doing things and I actually love that about him. But you know what? Also, like in my household, I guess is how you raise, like even with me, I don't know how you have finances to set up, but like
Starting point is 01:09:20 I don't have separate accounts. There is no my account, my wife's account, joint account. There is none of that. There is not my shoebox, her shoebox. No. My wife knows everything that comes in. She knows everything that goes out. I know everything that comes in with her and everything that goes. It is what it is. That's just how we do it. Knowing things is good. That's great. But I'm saying I love the fact that he can function financially without
Starting point is 01:09:40 me and I can function financially without him. And then when you come together, to me, that's the ultimate power team. When you are part of a team to me, that's the ultimate power team. When you are a part of a team, you have to run everything past your teammates. The coach doesn't just pull, you know, Kawhi Leonard to the side and say, hey, Kawhi, this is your play. No, you got to tell the whole team to play because every player on that court is involved in said play, even if you are the star player. So I don't see how you can be independent when you are a part of a team.
Starting point is 01:10:04 Travis, Travis, good morning. Hey, good morning. Yeah, I wanted to get my opinion. I just don't think it's cool if you celebrate your independence. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'll give you an example. My girl, she was in school for a while. I held her down, you know, while she was in school.
Starting point is 01:10:18 And pretty much once she graduated, it was, you know, she wanted to, you know, go on trips and, you know, do this, buy a house. And it's like, you know, that wasn't conducive to what we was doing at the time. You know what I mean? And so, you know, I'm doing my entrepreneur thing and I'm trying to get my businesses off the ground. So it was like, once you graduated, you know, it would be nice if you, you know, partner up with me, team up, let's do this. But, you know, going on vacations and, you know, just trying to celebrate her independence because she had been, I guess, dependent for so long. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:10:44 All right. Hello. Hey, good morning, y' so long. You know what I mean? All right. Hello? Hey, good morning, y'all. What's your name, bro? My name's King. I'm out of Duval. All right. Duval!
Starting point is 01:10:53 Do y'all still say that? No. Yeah, they still... When we talk about being independent in a relationship, what do you think? All right. I actually agree with Angela and I agree with Charlamagne. And I'm going to be quick about this. But basically, I stepped into my relationship with nothing.
Starting point is 01:11:07 I was living in an apartment with no lights and no water. You know what I'm saying? And my wife, based on her independence, decided that she was going to deal with me anyway. Now, you know, 10 years later, the times have turned. I'm working. I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. And now we're a union. We decided when we got together that we was going to be that one team based off of, you know,
Starting point is 01:11:31 just love and not off of my independence and her independence. Because if she would have thrown me away, we probably wouldn't be together right now. Yeah, I would like to know people's definition of independence. I see a lot of people's definition of independence has to do with finances. To me, that's a whole other conversation, whether or not you should have your own money. But when you are joining a team with someone, I'm talking emotional, mental, spiritual union. Rebecca.
Starting point is 01:11:51 Yes. Can you be independent in a relationship? You really cannot. I mean, you can be strong like Michelle Obama said. You need a strong player. So again, like I was telling her earlier, my thing is, I got a man who he depends on everything. I feel like I'm
Starting point is 01:12:08 sometimes burdened with it because he depends on me. I'm good at what I do or whatever. I care, I love, and I'm very, you know what I'm saying, efficient on paperwork and all that. But my thing is don't depend on me for everything. And you better have a social life because I have one because the moment you look at the time
Starting point is 01:12:24 that I'm coming in, I'll be later. Right. You understand? So, and that's respecting him at the same time, but we have to have this. I mean, I left him at a dealership. I took him yesterday to the dealership.
Starting point is 01:12:36 I get up at 7 o'clock in the morning. I took him to the dealership. Now, he could have done all that by himself and let me get my rest, but I did it. And the moment he put his hand up and said, I'm on the phone, I'm taking care of something, that means you can do it yourself. Independently, I got in my car, drove home, and went to sleep.
Starting point is 01:12:51 He, four or five hours later, drove up with his car. There you go. You did it on your own. You're independent. I mean, my thing is you could have did all this by yourself. Why you don't need me? You understand? You need me for certain things.
Starting point is 01:13:01 But something like that, guess what? I bet you my back against the wall You're going to be dependent Yeah I think it's important To have your own Sense of autonomy And independence at times And it's nice to know That you can rely on somebody
Starting point is 01:13:13 But Not in my relationship For myself This is how I feel From my relationship When I'm married Envy's married You know what I'm saying
Starting point is 01:13:19 I think it's different When you get married And I think for women It's different too I think I've been in relationships Where men tend to be Very controlling And want you to be Dependent on them And that's why've been in relationships where men tend to be very controlling and want you to be dependent on them.
Starting point is 01:13:26 And that's why it's always been important to me to be able to take care of myself and have my own and be a strong woman, because that way I bring a lot more to the relationship when I don't feel like I have to depend on anyone. I think that when you're a part of a team, y'all are dependent on each other. I know I'm dependent on my wife, but I got a strong-ass wife. I have a great teammate. And there's nothing wrong with being dependent on your partner. And Michelle
Starting point is 01:13:46 Obama said it. When two strong people come together to form a team, that's the s***. You know what I'm saying? We should celebrate that. How are we more excited about Kyrie and Kevin Durant forming a team and coming together? And Paul George and Kawhi Leonard forming a team and coming together? How do we celebrate that more than we do in relationships? No, it's great.
Starting point is 01:14:02 It's great when it's a choice and not a necessity. My wife is my team player, my teammate. Yes. She's the strongest one in the family. Like, to the point, they gave me some tea this morning because my throat was messed up, and now my butt is messed up. And you know who I texted? My wife.
Starting point is 01:14:16 Babe, I just had some tea. Can you come wipe me? And she was like, babe, maybe you should take this, that, and the other. You know why? Because she's my teammate. So I'm sitting right here across from you, and I'm your teammate, but you're going to tell me about your but you ain't tell me about your butt. See?
Starting point is 01:14:27 Tell me about your butt. I know. I just find it very attractive when somebody can handle business. I'm your teammate. You're not in here independent. You think you in here independent? Forget it, man. Look, look.
Starting point is 01:14:36 I call my wife when I want to dunk. I don't need nothing from you. Just throw me an alley-oop. I'll get right up on that room. See? All right. You know what? We got rumors coming up.
Starting point is 01:14:45 Well, thank goodness Wendy Williams is an independent person because now she's out of her relationship, handling her own business, and we'll tell you what she has to say about her dating life. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:14:57 The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk Wendy Williams. It's about time. What's going on?

So, Wendy Williams, yesterday she was talking about her health news. She's had some health concerns, and here's what she revealed. And I'm unsteady on my feet. You know, I got the vertigo and lymphedema, by the way. I've been diagnosed. It's not going to kill me, but I do have a machine, and how dare you talk about the swelling of it all. And I've got it under control,
Starting point is 01:15:42 and if my feet and lower things never go all the way down, at least I have this machine I got fitted for. All right, so, yeah, she has something called lymphedoma. And in addition to that, she's dating somebody new, but she's not going to tell you his name so y'all don't mess it up. I'm not in love, but there's somebody that I'm crazy about. It's not who you think. Okay? Mother doesn't deal with children. I'm not in love, but there's somebody that I'm crazy about. It's not who you think Okay
Starting point is 01:16:07 Mother doesn't deal with children, but it just so happens that I guess with my charm and wit I attract people of all ages, but when it comes time for the comfort of a man I need somebody in his 50s too, and he's got a work. It helps that he's a doctor. I Am NOT gonna say one more word. You're not going to blow this for me. But he's been married. His kids are in their 20s. And yes, he's black. Wasn't she with old boy about a week ago? She was with a
Starting point is 01:16:33 27-year-old, but it wasn't her man. She was having fun. Drop on the clues bombs for Wendy Williams. Just twisting that knife. She's having a hot girl summer. Alright, Kelvin Hunter got to hear all of these stories every other week. Meanwhile, he's out here pawning jewelry, allegedly. She can't be crazy about this. She can't be crazy about this guy after two days, though.
Starting point is 01:16:51 Man, this is all about twisting the knife on Kelvin. All right, go back, go back, go back. What'd you say Kelvin was doing? I didn't hear you. Pawning jewelry and selling sneakers, allegedly. That's a story I read. How's the baby? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:17:02 That's a story I read in, what was that publication? I don't remember. In Touch? Okay. read. What was that publication? I don't remember. In Touch? Okay. Touch Weekly. One of them. That's our magazine. All right.
Starting point is 01:17:16 We are the editing chiefs of Touch Weekly. Larsa Pippen was on Hollywood Unlocked Uncensored. And she was talking to Jason Lee about the whole Jordan and Tristan scandal and saying that it wasn't a one-time thing that they kissed. Here's what she said. I called Kim. She didn't believe me. No, she didn't believe us.
Starting point is 01:17:34 She didn't believe me. She was like, no way. There's no way. And then we called Kourtney and Kourtney was like, yeah, I believe it. But why would Kourtney believe it and not Kim? There were other situations where they were in the same room together. And it was like a weird feeling, I guess. And Kourtney was in that room.
Starting point is 01:17:49 All right. So, yeah. And according to Jeffree Star, the makeup artist, he says that everybody kind of knew that they were hooking up together before that incident happened. Hey, drop on the clues bombs for Jason Lee. I think Jason Lee is messy. I think he's ruthless. I think he's conniving. and I like what he's doing. Alright? I like what he has built. Drop on the
Starting point is 01:18:10 Clues Bonds for Jason Lee again, damn it. I like what Jason is out here doing. And shout out to Melissa Ford as well. Yes, salute to Melissa Ford. Alright, now Lala Anthony, while she was in New Orleans, she was living her best life, and she ended up winning $68,000. She came up. In the slot machine.
Starting point is 01:18:25 Is that amazing? So she put it on her social media, on her Instagram story. She said it all started when I put $200 in a slot machine at NOLA at 4 a.m. this morning. And then you see all the bells and whistles going off and she said we went crazy, but wait the machine kept going and then at the end
Starting point is 01:18:41 grand total $68,000. I love Lala, but I think that was a setup. Well, you a hater. I am. Well, you a big-ass hater. I am. I think what they do is they look at certain celebrities that play, and they allow them to win because people are going to want to play.
Starting point is 01:18:57 My mom went gambling so many times. My mom ain't win $200. My pops go gambling all the time. He can't win $200. She only played $200 too. You see that? No, wasn't that? You know what?
Starting point is 01:19:07 The most I ever won in the slot machine was in the Bahamas, right outside of Nobu. And I was with my friend. I was broke. I had no money. It was her birthday weekend. And we walked out of the restaurant. I put some money in. I think I played for like two minutes.
Starting point is 01:19:21 I won $2,400. See? It was exciting. That was exciting. I think they did that. And you know what I did? I walked away. See? It was exciting. That was exciting. I think they did that. And you know what I did? I walked away. Because some people keep playing.
Starting point is 01:19:28 I was like, I'm good. Cash me out. You know how many people go into that casino this weekend because Lala hit the $68,000? Now, I will say, and you know I love Lala. That's the homie. But it did look a little strange that she had the camera recording right at that moment.
Starting point is 01:19:39 You see? Both times when she won. You see? That's what I said. It did look a little strange. That's right. Well, it looked like they were lined up, so she took that picture. Yeah, but she won twice.
Starting point is 01:19:47 And then those rings, those bells go off for a while. Like, they go off until somebody walks over and sees. That's what happens, so, because that's what happened to me. It went on for like a couple minutes before somebody from the casino comes over to you, and then that's when they turn around. And everyone's looking at you. Well, I see people saying
Starting point is 01:20:03 Hot Girl's up 10 because Laala won that $68,000. I just want you to know that, no. She's not giving y'all a goddamn dime. Your rent is still due, Hot Girl. It's the knife.

Starting point is 01:20:40 especially me being from South Carolina, you know, a brother from the South. When I saw Master P on the Forbes list back in the day, yo, I was like, wow, what can I not do coming from the South? It ain't even about no hip-hop or no rap. Just seeing that brother who I used to listen to his music, Ice Cream Man, Nobody Can Sell Crack Like This, a guy that made records like that on the Forbes list, I was like, wow. So salute to Master P.
Starting point is 01:21:03 Absolutely. And you know, we didn't give a moral of the story for the topic we were discussing earlier. The whole can you be independent in a relationship and Michelle Obama talking about having a strong teammate. You were flirting with me, so I just got out of dodge, but go ahead. The moral of the story for me is I think that you only feel a sense of independence
Starting point is 01:21:17 in a relationship when, to Michelle Obama's point, you have a weak partner. When you have a strong teammate, you know that you can depend on in a real way, it's no need for independence. All right. Well, when we come back, we got the positive note. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:21:29 Good morning. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, you got a positive note for the people? Yes, the positive note is simply this, man.

Starting point is 01:21:48 I am too big a gift to this world to feel self-pity, and I love and approve of myself. Breakfast club, bitches! You all finished or you all done? Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine.
Starting point is 01:22:02 I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds 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.
