Starting point is 00:07:01 her neighbor from walking into his own building. Now, she lives in the building but apparently so does Darion Naraya-Toles. He was making his way home, and she stopped him in the lobby's entrance. Here's what happened. Do you live here? Get out of your eyes with that question.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Excuse me. You can film me. That's fine. I understand now, but you're blocking me. Into my building. Okay. And it's my building as well, so I need you to get out of my way. Okay, what unit? I don't need to so I need you to get out of my way. Okay, but you're in it.

Starting point is 00:07:49 She was. Now, here's what happened, because she actually couldn't have felt threatened. She followed him into the elevator. How are you going out to the fourth floor to see? So now you're not following. I am, because I would like to know who's friends and why you're here. I'm not friends. And if you do, then
Starting point is 00:08:05 I'd like to meet you because you're a neighbor. Another member of Vanilla Isis strikes again. These white domestic terrorists have to stop harassing us, okay? Listen, all the so-called good white people, y'all are doing a horrible job denouncing these kinds of actions from your skinfolk. Well, after she follows him in the

Starting point is 00:09:05 She actually ended up losing her job. She actually ended up losing her job. Hillary Brooke ended up losing her job. They're calling her hallway Hillary now. And even her estranged husband actually recorded a video supporting Tolles, the man that she was following. And her estranged husband is biracial with a black father and he was humiliated by her behavior. That's horrible.
Starting point is 00:09:21 I'm not going to lie though, it does sound like she was shooting her shot just a little bit. No, she wasn't. After a while it went from harassment to you know what? She was blocking him from even... This big black piece of chocolate living in my building and you want to introduce yourself to me? I need to get to know you. She was blocking him from even getting into the building. And she had been

I would he had a big dog like my dog and just opened up that door and that dog was and just bit the hell out of her because he felt threatened. I would have felt threatened. It's not like you wanted

Starting point is 00:11:49 I'm calling because last night, my son, whose birthday is Friday, Nassan, he came home and he had asked his art teacher to help him draw a nose. His art teacher, who is white, erased the nose and drew a big nose. He said, why did you draw my nose so big? He said, all black people have big noses. Whoa. Right.

Starting point is 00:16:18 well I my mom well his mom which is my sister she was at work and I called her like you know this is what happened. But it takes a village to raise a child, I feel like. So I'm going to step in and do my auntie duties and handle it. So you didn't listen to The Breakfast Club last week when we had the conversation about when a kid puts their hands on you, should your kid hit them back? No, I did.
Starting point is 00:16:40 I totally agree. But I also want to go up there to see exactly what the other issue is. Why your nephew ain't snuffed the kid back after he got pushed? Charlamagne. I teach my niece and nephew violence, but only when it's needed. That was needed. He got pushed to a water fountain. You know what?
Starting point is 00:16:56 Y'all are right. Okay. Well, thank you. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. But is the mom upset? Because you sound like you mad. No, she knows how I am. So she's upset, but she's like the rational one.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Like, she's very, all right, Corvette, we're going to handle this. But I'm like, nah, I'm going to go up there, and I will shut the whole Georgia public school system down. Maybe you should let the mom go up there. If the mom is more rational, maybe you should let the mom. That's not your baby. Nah, I'm going to be rational. I got it.

No, say that. You going to make her work on her birthday? I'm trying to make her work. All right, well, it's the Breakfast Club, Rumors on the Way. Don't move. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Aaron Hernandez. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, the Boston Globe is doing an investigative series on Aaron Hernandez and some things they found out with the extensive interviews that they have been doing. They did interview a Bristol Central High School teammate of his who said that the two of them actually were having an on-again, off-again romance.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Now, this is according to his old teammate, Sam Sousey. He said, me and him were very much into trying to hide what we were doing. We didn't want people to know. According to Hernandez's brother, Jonathan, Jonathan also said that their father was also very volatile toward them and would actually discipline him for not being masculine enough. He said the F word, which is a derogatory term used to describe gay people, was used all the time in our house, all the time. He said, I remember Aaron wanted to be a cheerleader. My cousins were cheerleaders and amazing. And I remember coming home and my dad put an end to that really quick and it was not okay. My dad made it clear that he had his definition of a man. Now as an adult,
Starting point is 00:19:50 Aaron also confided in his brother Jonathan that he had been sexually molested as a young boy. His brother did not go into more detail about what happened to him when he was younger. In addition, they did some interviews with some of his ex-Patriots teammates and one of his old teammates, Brandon Lloyd, a former Patriots receiver, said that he would have mood swings. He said he would be either in a fit of rage, or he'd be the most sensitive person in the room, talking
Starting point is 00:20:14 about cuddling with his mother, or he would say, do you think I'm good enough to play? I thought they chalked all that up to CTE, though. When I saw his documentary, they were saying that he had signs of CTE. Well, I think they're talking about him also being abused as a child as well and also having issues with being masculine enough. I don't understand what all of this got to do with anything.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Even when I watched the documentary, they just all of a sudden was like he was gay. And I'm like, okay, what's that got to do with anything? I mean, I guess it's just... He was still a gangbanging murderer. It doesn't matter what his sexuality was. Right, they're just talking, they're just going into what his past was like
Starting point is 00:20:44 as his childhood and about him being assaulted when he was young and being abused by his father. And, you know, I just think that's what led to the behavior of him being as violent as he was. Yeah. I think it had to do with the people that he hung out with, but also him trying to repress his sexuality as well. You know, and Lloyd also said that he was also told by Welker, who was a fellow receiver, Wes Welker.
Starting point is 00:21:06 He told him, I just want to warn you, Hernandez is going to talk about being bathed by his mother. He's going to have his genitalia out in front of you while you're sitting on your stool. He's going to talk about gay sex. Just do your best to ignore it. Even walk away. Wow. So they're saying that he was just basically a lot to handle, but it seems like he had a lot of things that he was battling within himself as well. Such a sad, sad life, you know. Such a
Starting point is 00:21:26 waste of a good tight end. Alright, now Lala Anthony is still figuring things out with Carmelo after being separated. They had a rough patch, but they have never filed those divorce papers. Now Lala talked to people on Saturday and she said, we're good. I mean, we've been
Starting point is 00:21:41 working together, we've been together for a really long time so we're figuring out how to make it work for what is best for Cayenne and what is best for us. They have been hanging out a lot together lately. So it seems like they are trying to work on things. Salute to La Lise. Now, Paul Allen, who is the co-founder of Microsoft, he passed away. He was 65 years old. He was actually battling cancer.
Starting point is 00:22:02 He first found out he had cancer back in 1983. He was diagnosed and he resigned from Microsoft shortly thereafter but still was very active on the board until 2000 and he finally did succumb to his cancer. He died yesterday afternoon in his hometown of Seattle. He was worth about $20 billion
Starting point is 00:22:19 or more. And I should let you know right there that money is not everything because that money all the money in the world could not stop that cancer. He's 44 with 30 years. Paul Allen donated more than $2 billion to various charities. He was never married. He had no children and he was always there they said for his family and friends
Starting point is 00:22:35 so he was 65 years old. Who was in that will? Who did he leave that to? His family I'm sure. Yeah. And I'm sure the charities as well. Right. Alright, Solange her new album is supposedly coming out at any time sometime soon. Now she talked to T Magazine,
Starting point is 00:22:49 which is New York Times Magazine. And her last album, Seated at the Table, which was excellent, came out two years ago. And she's been talking about this new album. She said there's a lot of jazz
Starting point is 00:22:57 at the core, but with electronic and hip hop drum and bass because I wanted to bang and make your trunk rattle. She said that the album has taken her to different places. She worked in New Orleans and Jamaica and Cali and Houston.
Starting point is 00:23:09 She said, I like to be able to tell the story in 13 different ways than I like to edit. I have this fear living in my body about releasing work. I don't know any artist that doesn't feel that before they hit the send button. So I'm sure we're excited for some new Solange. You're goddamn right. I'm here for that. Work. All right.

Starting point is 00:25:24 We got a special guest in the building, Miss Coco Brown. Hey, what's up, y'all? Welcome, Coco. Hey, how y'all doing? Let's talk about 9-1-1. Yeah. You are back season two. Yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:25:33 How does a comedian go from doing comedy to such a serious role? Called talent. True. It's called real talent, which is lacking a lot in this era. But, yeah, I mean, you know, I was a trained actress before I ever picked up a mic and told a joke. So, I mean, you know, so it was easy for me to go back to my roots. People think because you're a comic, that's all you know. But, no, I've been doing this since I was 10 years old.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Let's talk about that journey. You're from the 757. Yes, baby. Now, how did you start off getting into acting and doing comedy? You know, it's funny. My mother put me in community theater when I was 10. She was like, I was always acting out stuff. The Newport News.
Starting point is 00:26:10 Uh-huh. I was always putting on little plays and stuff like that. She put me in community theater. Then I started going through the whole process of school and stuff like that, and the drama club, went to college, minored in theater, never thinking I was going to do nothing with it. I went to VCU, Virginia Commonwealth. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:25 It's funny because I was supposed to live so traditionally southern. I was supposed to go to college, meet a man, get married, have some babies, and come to my parents' house every Sunday after church. Okay. You know what I'm saying? So for me to go so left and start actually doing what my mother put me in, she was like, oops, my bad. I didn't mean for you to do it for real.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Right. So it was cool, you know. And it was funny because when I became a comic, a friend of mine got me into comedy. I didn't think about being in a comic. You know, he introduced me to a guy that is on the, actually one of the other people's morning shows right now. And he put. You can say the name.
Starting point is 00:26:59 What's the name? Tom Joyner. Okay, yeah. Yeah, Chris Paul. Chris Paul. Nothing wrong with that. So he put me in, you know, he put me in the right position to meet him. He had a comedy club in D.C. at the time.
Starting point is 00:27:09 And he was like, yo, you should try comedy. You funny as hell. And I'm like, all right. And this thing, you know, I'm doing it. And it's like, you know, but I've never been scared, you know. Did you ever look down upon the comedy scene because of your background? No, not at all. Not at all.
Starting point is 00:27:21 I think comedy is one of the hardest things to do. You have to make everybody in a room laugh at the same thing at the same time. So difficult. You know what I'm saying? And a lot of people think it's so easy because you can make, you know, imaginary people on Instagram laugh. And then you get in there and do it to real live human beings. And they get a, you know, a little humbling awakening. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:38 You know what I'm saying? It's like it's not the same. Go up there and do three minutes. You know how long three minutes is on that thing? Right, right. With them joke bums? Exactly. And I've seen it, honey. You remember the first show? Yes.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Where was it? It was at the comedy spot in New Carrollton, Maryland. Went on stage trying to tell jokes. And they looked at me like I was crazy. Boo? I mean, they didn't boo. Okay. But they wooed back. I thought telling jokes was snapping on people. So I went on stage and just started cracking on people on the front row.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Maybe this one shit was ready to fight me. And I said, hold up, hold up. Look, this on people so I want to say just started cracking on people on the front it was ready to fight me and I said hold up hold up look this ain't even what I do I work for the circus and it got like this big laugh because I really did I worked for real I worked I worked in advertising for Ringling brothers okay so when I said that everybody laughed and I said no for real like I ain't juggling no monkeys or nothing I mean I put the billboards up and it's not beginning to talk they were laughing and I said, oh, this is what works. What's real? Yeah, telling the truth. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:28:28 Don't tell a joke, tell the truth. Exactly, and that's what I do. That's actually one of my monikers, is I don't tell jokes, I tell the truth. I feel like you stole that from me. No, you really? How old are you, baby? 40. Uh-huh, I'm 46. I think I might have stole it from you. You might have stole it from me. Been breathing a little while longer, baby. Been breathing a little while longer.
Starting point is 00:28:44 But, no, you know, little while longer but no you know it's funny because you know i learned very quickly that what's real is what's funny i don't get up there and try to tell you he he ha ha i'm telling you stuff straight from my heart when i went through my divorce i wasn't you know trying to be funny about it you know i realized i was gay after three years of marries you know i realized i was married to a bitch for three years of marriage, because, you know, I realized I was married to a bitch for three years. Damn. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, you know, I say what's real.
Starting point is 00:29:11 You still see him? That guy? My ex. Whenever he feels like showing up, you know, he's one of them. You know, Houdini. So that's when you have a child together. Yeah. Remind him. Could you? Yeah, thank you. Say it again. Y'all have a child. Come see your child. Yes, you know, that check is late. Yeahind him. Could you? Yeah. Say it again. Have a child. Come see. Yeah. You know, that check is late. Yeah. have drugged this man with the information I have. But I always took the high road. And all I asked was like
Starting point is 00:29:48 be in your son's life. Send me the check on time, which I don't even touch. It goes into his trust fund. Yes, my child has a trust fund. We do more like that, black people. And, but, you know, he still won't act right. So God bless him. You know, karma is a bitch. You know, he's on what? Heart attack number three. You know,
Starting point is 00:30:04 my life insurance policy is cocked and loaded. Well, damn. You got a life insurance policy on him? Two. Wow. Goodness gracious. How do you explain to your son when his father is not being responsible? You know what?
Starting point is 00:30:16 I'm going to tell you something. I have been so blessed that I've always had great male black men in my, you know, just black, great black men in my life that he's never missed a beat in terms of role models and strong men in his life so it's funny how at six years old he had the discernment that when he finally did meet this man he was like you full of crap and doesn't even ask for it and then when he left it was like i you know and he doesn't ask for him and i don't force it he knows he has has a father, you know what I'm saying? And I'm not bashing his dad.
Starting point is 00:30:46 I'm just going to call a spade a spade, you know, only a hit dog will holler. So, I mean, but it's the same token. It's like I've been blessed that he's got a great village around him. I do not lack for strong men in my life. Now, don't get me wrong. Some of them are gay and it's great because my child is six years old with a look book. You know, he has a stylist. My child is killing the game right now, you know.
Starting point is 00:31:09 But, you know, but I'm grateful for that. He doesn't, you know, miss a beat. How did that affect you dating moving forward? It's tough. You know, I went through a period where I did do something that a lot of women don't do, and I took time to heal me. Yeah, that's always so important. You know, a lot of women jump into relationships trying to get a man to heal them.
Starting point is 00:31:25 I healed me. I had that come to Jesus moment because I had to, you know, tell myself the truth. Bottom line, I was the dumb half of the chosen. You know what I'm saying? I saw some signs and I should have ran. And I didn't. Those red flags.
Starting point is 00:31:35 I saw them. What were the signs? Ooh, let's see. When you used your brother's name in social to show a fake credit report so I wouldn't know your credit was shot. Damn. Damn, man. That was a sign. He was trying to impress you. name and social to show a fake credit report so I wouldn't know your credit was shot. He was trying to impress you. You know, and my dumb ass said that.
Starting point is 00:31:50 That's how you're not going to lie. That's exactly what my dumb ass said. I was like, I just wanted to show the good side. He was just trying to impress me. He lied because he loves me. Don't date a man whose credit score is less than what? 720, I think it was. Yeah, that's probably what he loves me. Right. Willie Orman said, don't date a man whose credit score is less than what?
Starting point is 00:32:05 720, I think it was. 720, she said. So that's probably Willie who's on. Yeah, his was a lot lower than that. He showed you a fake credit score and it was lower than that? It was his brother's. No, no, no. His brother's was like eight something.
Starting point is 00:32:16 Okay. But it was his brother's credit. And he had put his name on it. How did you ask him, Blake? You should have been like, let me see your credit score. Well, I mean, yeah. I'm sorry. I'm going to ask certain questions.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Like, how's your credit? Have you ever touched a man? I need to know these things. I mean, for real, for real, I need to know. Have you ever felt frisky with Ricky? Okay, I need to know. What other signs did you see besides the credit? Any other signs? You know, baby
Starting point is 00:32:42 mom. You know, baby mom was no relationship. You know, baby mom. You know, baby mom was no relationship. You know, I never could meet the baby mom, never could meet the daughter. So he wasn't even taking care of his other kid. Yes and no. I mean, you know, in my mind, I didn't think he was taking care of his kid. But in all actuality, he was because, you know, he died. She would get all the benefits because she was still legally the wife.
Starting point is 00:33:03 Yeah, I said about that. Oh, so he was still married. That's why he didn't want you to meet her. It was a lot of things, but, you know, he was the greatest boyfriend. Everybody in my circle fell in love with him. My parents, who were some hard nuts to crack, fell in love with him. He was good. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:33:18 And the thing is, you know, it's just, I think that's a lot of times, you know, and men always saying, you know, it's still good men out here. The problem is good men is there are a lot of dog men using your tactics to get women. So we can't tell the difference anymore. Alright, we have more with Coco Brown. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have comedian and actress Coco Brown in the building. Charlamagne?a Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have comedian and actress Coco Brown in the building. Charlamagne? Can you break down dog men using good guy tactics? Well, you know, there was a time that you knew what a dog was. A dog
Starting point is 00:33:52 had certain qualities. A dude that wasn't about nothing, you knew he did this, that, and the third. What happens now is that the dog has learned what the good man does. Send you Bible scriptures in the morning. Exactly. Good morning, beautifuls. Good morning, beautifuls. Good morning, queen. Good morning, queen. All the stuff Charlamagne used to do to people.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Definitely. It's okay. You have to start somewhere, baby. Back in the day. It's okay. You sent one this morning. It's okay. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:34:16 You and about 4,000 other black men sent one. It's okay. Be part of a team. We are. I'm married now. You know what I'm saying? So the team is the faithful black male community. You're sending it to your wife. So that's good. Exactly. That are. I'm married now. You know what I'm saying? So the team is the faithful black male community.
Starting point is 00:34:25 You're sending it to your wife so that's good. Exactly. That's fine. That's fine. But you know I think that's the problem is that now the dogs
Starting point is 00:34:34 have gotten around the good men and learned their tactics so you can't tell a dude might be very well genuine with the good morning beautiful have a blessed day baby you know
Starting point is 00:34:43 thinking about you but because the dog is still using that same tactics, you can't tell anymore. So if anybody should be mad, the good dude should be mad at the dogs because the dogs are using your tactics. And it's so easy now to keep in contact because people really are just sending out text messages all the
Starting point is 00:34:57 time. How do you understand? That's what I don't understand. How can I go with you in 30 characters or less? How can we be a couple? You've texted me. Like one dude texted me for like six months and he had to,
Starting point is 00:35:10 oh, Dessie said, so when are we sleeping together? I said, we not, but our phones are. So I kindly sent him a kitty cat. I said,
Starting point is 00:35:16 now send me an emoji of an eggplant. Because that's who's going to be scrolling, these phones. Because I don't know you. You know what I'm saying? And it's like,
Starting point is 00:35:23 you know, it kills me because the youngins I expect with the text messaging and'm saying? And it's like, you know, it kills me, because the youngins I expect with the text messaging and just constantly sending you a bunch of, you know, emojis and acronyms and stuff like that, it's you old brothers that make me mad. You cats over 40 sending crap that don't make no sense. Like the MMLA's, what's that?
Starting point is 00:35:36 Meet me at the Legion. I ain't even know acronym on that. MMLA, I didn't even know that. Not MMLA, meet me at the Legion. I thought that was a baseball league. Right, you're going out tonight. No, SH, what's that, sugar high. No, that's not going to work. If you got a makeup acronym, you know, like can we go back to real dating,
Starting point is 00:35:54 old school dating where a man called you and you said on the phone, tell, you know, you hang up, no, you hang up. You know what I'm saying? I feel like that even when I'm not dating, when it's just people of a certain age, like why are we texting so much? Because we know each other are busy, so I don't want to just pick up the phone and call you. You know what I mean? Have you dated white guys yet?
Starting point is 00:36:10 I was going to ask you that. What's that? Have you dated white guys? Girl, I've dated the rainbow. Asian too? I haven't done Asian. I haven't done Asian. My girlfriend's married to an Asian guy, and he is so good to her.
Starting point is 00:36:21 I might have to take a trip to China, you know, or something. There's a lot of single men to China, you know, or something. But, you know, Spanish, white, you know, Jewish, Greek, Italian, you know, Irish. I've been, yeah. And you've gotten some looks when you go out with... You know what? I'm going to tell you, the most I got the looks for was in L.A. because in L.A.
Starting point is 00:36:40 apparently blacks and Mexicans don't mix. And I dated a guy who was Mexican. And when we went out, the dirty looks we got from other Mexicans don't mix. And I dated a guy who was Mexican. And when we went out, the dirty looks we got from other Mexicans was crazy. I wasn't used to that. Because you know on the East Coast, honey, we all blend together. Nobody cares. But on the West Coast, it's a big thing
Starting point is 00:36:55 if you see Mexicans and blacks together. Yeah, we're breaking down barriers. We really were. It would have worked too if he didn't constantly have babies by other people while we were dating. Oh my God. Yeah, that's why I'm taking a lot of time right now for me. Yeah, because apparently I'm a magnet of some bull
Starting point is 00:37:12 crap. Yeah. I'm holding myself accountable. What kind of energy are you putting out? I don't know. I'm going to tell you right now, I attract broken men. Ooh. Do you think that you only like men that ask you out first? Have you ever been the person? No, I've asked out. Yeah. And that's, you know, been interesting, too.
Starting point is 00:37:31 I realized that because I have such a nurturing maternal spirit, I think I was born to be a mother. You know, I've mothered a lot of people. I've raised a lot of women's children. Let me say, like, in terms, there's a lot of men walking around here that are grown men now because of me. Oh, my God. Because I raised them. You know, mama didn't give them that home training. They didn't know to open a woman's doors. If we're being honest, most black men, if you're from the hood, are damaged in some way.
Starting point is 00:37:48 Yeah, yeah. But she's dated the whole rainbow. It's like they just seem to be a little damaged. And then mama comes in, you know, puts the band-aid on, kisses the boo-boo. Make them feel better. Make them feel better. Speak that love into their spirit. Feed that belly.
Starting point is 00:38:04 Feed that soul. And then once they get on their spirit, feed that belly, feed that soul. And then once they get on their feet, it's like deuces. Thank you. So now, you know, I'm a clean-up woman. I don't want to be the clean-up woman. I don't want to be Shirley Murdoch. That's how you get your blessings, though. You're making good men for other women.
Starting point is 00:38:18 I got a whole heap of blessings coming to me. Trust me, honey. So, Coco Brown, don't you think sometimes as women we just do too much? Like, we put ourselves out there like, I'll do that for you. I'll take care of it. I'll help you with that. We me, honey. So Coco Brown, don't you think sometimes as women we just do too much? Like we put ourselves out there like I'll do that for you. I'll take care of it. I'll help you with that. We do and I have. I'm not like that anymore.
Starting point is 00:38:30 It's funny how I finally had to come to an epiphany that it was like, okay, I'm not giving more than I get. Period. Yeah, sometimes that's something we have to train ourselves
Starting point is 00:38:39 because we're so used to wanting to help somebody but you can't just do everything for someone because after a while they start to take advantage of it, expect it, and then it's not even fair at a certain point. No, seriously, because anybody will continue
Starting point is 00:38:52 to leech off you if you continue to give. But you got a lot of men out here, too, that are looking for another mother. As I like to say, looking for another t*** to latch onto. They go from mama's t*** to your t***. And the problem is you've got women out here that are allowing it. You know what I'm saying? That are taking care of grown mama's to your t***. And the problem is you've got women out here that are allowing it. You know what I'm saying? That are taking care of grown
Starting point is 00:39:08 men just to have a man. And the women are cool with it. That's the thing. It's funny. One of my homeboys said to me the other day, he said, I don't blame the men. I blame the women for not holding these men accountable for being men. You're allowing them to be boys. Make them step up and do what
Starting point is 00:39:23 they've got to do. You know, and a lot of women, you know, are not because they don't want to ruffle feathers. They don't want to cause a problem. They want to still be kept, you know, and I'm good. You know, I can keep myself. You know, I always say you may not meet me dollar for dollar, but you damn sure going to meet me hustle for hustle. That's real.
Starting point is 00:39:40 And men got fragile egos anyway. They do. Being in this business, I think it's the hardest thing is that a lot of men get in here and they date a woman that's in this business or just of any kind of status. And they don't want the spotlight on her. And they'll do everything in their power to block the spotlight to shine on them. But, baby, you ain't earned this spotlight. That's real. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:40:00 I'll share it with you. But, no, you ain't going to come up here and block my spotlight because you need your ego stroked. You know, I don't know. It's weird. How do we get on this? Is it hard for you to date? Y'all got me. I feel like a yama right now.
Starting point is 00:40:11 Is it hard for you to date men that aren't in the game then? Like in the future? I don't want to date men in the game. Got you, got you. Because it becomes a competition. It becomes a competition. My ex was in the business. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:40:22 And it became a competition. If I book something, then he went out of his way to try to one-up me. And if he didn't, then he had to downplay what I had got. Everybody check up Angela Bassett no more. Shut up. I mean, I don't want one eye.
Starting point is 00:40:37 It's like, bruh. But it's weird. It's like finding someone that's confident. There was a time that I remember brothers being very cocky, but in a good way. What happened that now they get so bruised so easily? Like what is going on? I think men are expressing their emotions a lot more now than they used to. Are they?
Starting point is 00:41:01 Supposedly. Really? Who in this room cries as a man with a penis? I've cried before. Who cries? You cried? Yeah, definitely have. You don't cry?
Starting point is 00:41:08 You never cry? I have, but I haven't cried in a long time. That's what I cry with my grandmother. I do believe in men being vulnerable. Remind me not to hug neither one of y'all fertile answers. I do believe in men being vulnerable, though. You know what I mean? We have more with Coco Brown when we come back.
Starting point is 00:41:22 Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ En Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have comedian and actress Coco Brown in the building. Yee.
Starting point is 00:41:33 So, Coco, do you think that women are more powerful nowadays? Well, a lot of women don't know that their strength needs to be toned down. And I understand that because sometimes when we're used to doing everything for ourselves and we can, we don't want to ask a man for help or say, hey, can you do this for me? Because it does make a man feel good. But we also know that we don't really need you to do it. Well, that's the thing. It depends what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:41:53 You can never. I used to say, I don't need a man. I want a man. No, honey, a man has to feel needed. If a black man doesn't feel needed, he'll go to find somebody. That's why a lot of times we see super successful men date very beneath them. Because they won't get a woman with the education
Starting point is 00:42:06 or the degrees or the accolades or the money that they have. Why? Because she's an equal now. They can't control her. Now a chick that's very happy
Starting point is 00:42:14 with bundles and a Louis Vuitton bag every once in a while he can tell her what to do. And it's like a lot of women don't know how to release their power. Yeah, sometimes
Starting point is 00:42:21 it's intimidating for a man when they know that you could probably get better stuff for yourself than they could do for you if you wanted to. That black male pride is real. It's the way you have to speak to your black man. It's a very different thing.
Starting point is 00:42:32 When I've dated white men, you speak to them differently. Spanish men, you speak to them differently. Black men, it's a very different vocabulary. I feel what you're saying, but I don't want to tiptoe around nobody's fragile ego either. You know what I'm saying? No, absolutely not. Absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:42:46 But, I mean, the black male ego is very fragile. You know, it's almost like black men have to love you more than you love them. It's almost the way you see chicks date beneath them. That's why you see all these pretty chicks now with ugly people. Well, women don't care about looks. I think women don't care about looks as much as men do. Tell me I'm lying. Y'all don't see how many
Starting point is 00:43:05 really pretty chicks with these little fugly, grinning looks. I got a theory about that, though. What's the theory? I got a theory that the beautiful women,
Starting point is 00:43:13 nobody ever hollers at them. Like, guys feel intimidated just because of their beauty. So it's always the ugly guy who feel like, I'm just going to take my shot because he ain't got nothing to lose.
Starting point is 00:43:20 That's how Jermaine Dupri got with Janet. Because I bet you nobody wanted to walk up to Janet and holler at Janet. Bobby Brown did. Bobby was a superstar. I think J.D. was just real.
Starting point is 00:43:29 I think she wasn't used to real. And she loved the realness And maybe he wasn't impressed with her being Janet Jackson. That's true too. That's what I think. I think that women are not as concerned with looks
Starting point is 00:43:37 as they are with a man's aura, his power, and ambition and other things like that. I think men are more concerned about looks. I think women have always dated men that probably aren't as good looking as they are. True. I think men are more concerned about looks. I think women have always dated men that probably aren't as good looking as they are.
Starting point is 00:43:47 True. I mean, we've all dated down. I mean, let's just keep it real. I mean, haven't you dated down? Me? No. Never dated down? No. Never dated down one you pray to God
Starting point is 00:43:57 don't ever pop up on you with your stuff? I've been married since 17 years. Oh, f*** now. Okay, wow. Okay. I done been to jail for a weekend and came home. Well, let me now. Okay, wow. Okay. I done been to jail for a weekend and came home. What would you say if you had to say your ideal man since you're single now? Yes. And what you're looking for. What would you say you're looking for?
Starting point is 00:44:31 I'm really big on a man that can speak, that can articulate themselves. I don't know what happened to the English language, but some of these men just botch it to hell. And the women, too. I mean, I've been around some women that I'm like, baby, write it down. Because I don't know what the hell you just said to me. But, you know, I need a man that's coming to the table with something. My biggest thing that ticks me off is men over 40 that have nothing. What have you been doing with your life that you can step to someone and you have nothing?
Starting point is 00:44:59 I mean, you ain't got it. And then they get mad at you when you don't want to give them the time of day. But I feel like at a certain age, there should be something to show for your time on this earth. I agree. And women, too. Something. Now, you may have had it all and lost it all, but I need receipts. I agree.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Do you Google people before you go out with them? Girl, I have to. Background checks all day long. I learned that the hard way with my marriage. You know, I'll ask a dude, all I need is seven numbers of your social. I will figure out the rest. So wait a minute. I thought he was married before.
Starting point is 00:45:26 He was married while we were married. So you were never married, really? So you were never married then, right? Technically. I mean, I had a wedding.
Starting point is 00:45:33 I have pictures to show for it. Wow. So he went through the wedding and everything. I need to meet this guy. Wow. How did you find out that he was still married?
Starting point is 00:45:40 You know what, Charlamagne? You know what, maybe you can give him the past child support. I'm going to give you his number. Call him, man. How did you find out that he was still married? It's so funny. You know how you Charlamagne? Maybe you'll get him to pay his child support. I'm going to give you his number. Call him. How did you find out that he was still married?
Starting point is 00:45:47 It's so funny. You know how you got that one girlfriend that's like the spy? Yes. I have this one girlfriend, and she had been saying it for like a year. Girl, he hiding something. He hiding something. And she called herself being Inspector Clouseau. And she came in, and she said, girl, I found out. She
Starting point is 00:46:06 called the courthouse of the city he was, you know, state he was married. She was not playing. No, she, and she said, girl, look what happened. And they was like, yes, ma'am, he's still married. I was like, so that means my marriage is illegal? And mind you, I had to keep that in for months before I left. So what was he telling his other family?
Starting point is 00:46:22 I mean, well, according to people, you know, he said that I knew and that I was cool with it. I just wanted to get married. Get married twice at the same time? You can't do that. Oh, he's definitely about to tweet me right now and give me the whole story. Yeah, yeah, call him. Call Charlamagne, you know.
Starting point is 00:46:40 So you didn't have to get a divorce. You got it in notes. I got it in notes. You know. Wow. But it was one of those things. Why did you have to hold it divorce You got it in notes I got it in notes You know Wow But it was Why did you have to hold it in for months? I don't know
Starting point is 00:46:49 Now that you ask me that I don't know why I mean I just had my son He was only five months old You know And I held it in I didn't tell him Were you ashamed?
Starting point is 00:46:58 Or you didn't believe it? Heck yeah I was ashamed Embarrassed Humiliated Did you believe it though? The whole nine I mean honey When they sent over The actual marriage license
Starting point is 00:47:05 What could I do? This is one thing too That I learned That I'll never do again Live my life on social media Because my marriage was I'm so happy And I'm so in love
Starting point is 00:47:15 And then that happened And I kind of had to Just delete everything Out of nowhere So how was that conversation? Like how did you approach him? What did he say When you confronted him?
Starting point is 00:47:23 You know what's comical? You know how long it took for me to actually confront him about it? Five years. Five years? What? So you lived under, you lived and then he had another wife. I lived for three months after I found out, and then I moved out. I left him. And then when we finally came back together, and I had forgiven
Starting point is 00:47:38 him, I had moved on, because I told him, I said, I can't hate you and love my son at the same time. I just was like, dude, just be a father to your child That's all I ask I really don't need your money because your money goes into a trust fund I don't even touch He can't even touch until he's 21
Starting point is 00:47:50 I think it's the guilt with him We finally had the conversation And when I asked him why did he do that He just said I was stupid I was in love I felt like I was going to lose you I proposed I didn't know we were going to get married so quick I thought I was going to get the divorce straight before then We didn't I was going to lose you. I proposed. I didn't know we were going to get married so quick. I thought I was going to
Starting point is 00:48:05 get the divorce straight before then. We didn't. I was scared to say something and I just went through with it and then eventually I just began to act like it didn't matter. Good lord. So you know, people do stupid stuff. That's basically what he said. What he doesn't know is he probably could have told you, look, here's my situation.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Can we talk about something a little more damn light? I'm depressed now. Have you given Tyler a script yet? He probably could have told you, look, here's my situation. Oh my God, can we talk about something a little more damn light? I'm depressed now. I'm like, for real, I don't want, if you know what, have you given Tyler a script yet? I think Tyler's probably going to make a move about this,
Starting point is 00:48:30 honey, okay? I'm good. Oh my God, I thought you were coming here and making jokes. Your eye water, eye lashes starting to fall off. Damn, why are we talking about this?
Starting point is 00:48:38 Happy birthday. No, thank you. I do want to ask you about your non-profit called Wigs of Love. Yes, yes. It was, I formed that for my girlfriend who passed away from breast cancer
Starting point is 00:48:47 She had battled it twice She lost her life the second time And when she lost all her hair it freaked her out She didn't know what to do because you know black men Y'all love sisters with hair And so I started giving her my wigs Because I was getting wigs for shows And stuff that I was doing
Starting point is 00:49:01 And then I had all these wigs left over And I was like I'm going to get these women who need them. So I partnered up with Kim Kimble and Elgin Charles and a couple of other great, you know, hair peeps, stylists, and, you know, we make custom, you know, wigs for women who have lost their hair due to chemo and radiation.
Starting point is 00:49:16 That's so dope. Yeah. Beautiful. Well, thank you for joining us, Coco. Thank you. Oh, my God. Y'all just had me here purging my soul. Y'all got to bring back something funny.

We'll bring you back, don't worry. You know what I'm saying? Bring back something funny. A lot of lies were told because black men don't cheat. Oh, shut up.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Black men don't cheat? Just want to throw that out there. That's another lie being told. Black men don't cheat? Mm-hmm. It's like black women don't suck. All right.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Well, the black men don't cheat, then. Okay. Well, it's Coco Brown at the Breakfast Club. Yeah. Thank you, baby. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:49:49 All right. Throw it back a little bit. Morning, everybody. Don't try to act like you don't know where we be at, neither. It's DJ and the Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Happy birthday to anybody celebrating a birthday, man.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Enjoy your day. What's happening? Now, don't forget, tonight at 8 on BET, the BET Hip Hop Awards. Lil Duval. You okay? Hip Hop Awards with Lil Duval. You okay? Lil Duval. He screamed out Lil Duval. Duval's hitting the stage.
Starting point is 00:50:11 That's right. Drop one of the clues bombs for my guy, Lil Duval, man. Proud of my homie, okay? Check that out tonight at 8, the BET Hip Hop Awards. And then at 10, catch the premiere of Hustlin' Brooklyn. Ivy Rivera. There you go. I knew he was going to say it.
Starting point is 00:50:23 I knew he was going to do it. Drop one of the clues bombs for Young Ivy. That's right. And shout out was going to say it. I knew he was going to do it. He's waiting. Shout out to Kim Osario who produced that show. Kim, what's happening? That's people's tool. What up, Kim? I'm on a clues bomb for Kim Osario, damn it. I'm watching BET all night tonight. Now let's get to these rumors. Let's talk
Starting point is 00:50:37 Ariana Grande. Listen up. It's just in. The Rumor Report. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, by now you should know that Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson have broken up,
Starting point is 00:50:52 but here's how they divvied up everything. Now, she did return the ring that he gave her, because, of course, the ring is in contemplation of marriage, and they're not getting married anymore. Their ring was worth almost $100,000 and was made specifically for her. It's a one of a kind. They also decided that she gets to keep the pig that they had
Starting point is 00:51:09 together, Piggy Smalls, if you guys remember. They have a pig? Yeah, they have a little teacup pig that they adopted last month and he had gotten a tattoo of the pig on his torso and everything. A real pig, like a pig pig? Yeah, it's a teacup pig. A little baby, little mini pig. I've never heard of a teacup pig. So she's the one that actually bought the pig, so it was always hers.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Now, the reason that they really broke up, she was emotionally unavailable after everything that happened with Mac Miller, which is understandable. And so it just wasn't working right now. How do people know all of this stuff about other people's lives? Like, how do y'all know all of these details? And inside of them leaked it somehow, some way? This is crazy. Sometimes people themselves leak that information.
Starting point is 00:51:44 Can you walk the pig? As a matter of leak that information. Can you walk the pig? As a matter of fact. Can you walk the pig? Does the pig lift his leg to pee? I'm just curious, like when you have a pet pig. I don't have a teacup pig, I can't tell you. At what point do you eat that little pig and turn it into bacon? You don't.
Starting point is 00:51:55 At what point do you make a sandwich out of that little pig, all right? It's a pet. You don't eat your pets. Because by the way, if you got a pet pig and your pig dies, you ain't going to waste that meat. Yes, you are. All right, you're going to find a way to put that on a sandwich. You're going to bury it and have a proper funeral. Not me.
Starting point is 00:52:09 All right, Kanye West, as you all know, is in Uganda, and he actually was with the president of Uganda, Kim Kardashian West, and they were talking about tourism in Africa, and he has big plans after he went to go see a safari. I'm here to be here and work with him. This is going to be like Jurassic Park, Disney World. Also because when I saw the safari I was thinking about this is how all's usually, but I'd like
Starting point is 00:52:34 to know what are the other industries that you would like to build and have a discussion about what would make the entire country be the most like to build Wakanda. He said he want to build Wakanda. And he also wants to build a Jurassic Park as well. He wants the entire country to be Wakanda, and he sees Jurassic Park. So all these fictional places. Africa has so many natural resources already. I don't even understand how you want to build a... So he wants to bring dinosaurs into Wakanda.
Starting point is 00:53:02 Yeah, see what dinosaurs. I'm so confused. This is insulting. That's your guy, man. That's my guy. That's your guy. All right, now, when he revealed that he plans to have seven kids with Kim Kardashian, here's what she said. Children.
Starting point is 00:53:16 She said, we have children. Oh, really? He's asking how many children. Oh, yeah. I would like to have seven. I would not like that. She said, I would not. Jesus Christ. I would not. She said she would not. I would not.
Starting point is 00:53:27 Jesus Christ. It's not going well. She can't have kids anymore. Okay. So, I mean, they can still have kids. She just doesn't have to carry them. Yeah, she can do it the same way that she had Chicago West. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:53:39 The president had to do that. I want to hear more about this Jurassic Park idea. And Wakanda. I wonder how this is going to play out. And Charlamagne, you were supposed to have your sit down with Kanye and you've since canceled that. Because he's building Jurassic Park. He's in Uganda. Well, no, he's supposed to be back today, actually.
Starting point is 00:53:53 No, they say he's actually extending his trip. Of course he is. Because he has to build Jurassic Park. Are you guys crazy? That's a big plan. Yes. It's going to take a couple of days. He's going to make it into Wakanda over there.
Starting point is 00:54:03 We were supposed to do our Times talk tomorrow. But I canceled it for all the reasons I saw yesterday because the media has a narrative they want to paint. And as long as that narrative exists, the conversation about mental health will get drowned out because of Jurassic Park. I don't know about media. He's the one that said that. I don't know that they painted it. He said it. Oh, no, no. Because you think about it yesterday.
Starting point is 00:54:20 Yesterday, I released a statement. I said, I think to have the conversation about, you know, our mental health issues right now would be a total distraction. And all I saw was people jumping to their own conclusions. Charlamagne canceled because Kanye met with Trump. Kanye canceled because he's mentally unstable. I didn't say none of that. So because of all those false stories,
Starting point is 00:54:35 that confirmed what I already knew was that the conversation about mental health would have got lost. I thought he was just saying he's done with it. Now he's also there working on his album, and Big Sean is there as well. So they're supposed to be producing music and shooting some videos during their trip also. And by the way, this wasn't a decision that was made yesterday. My decision to cancel was made last week. Why didn't you tell people?
Starting point is 00:54:57 Because I had to wait on all the powers that be. It was a lot of moving parts in this situation. It wasn't New York Times Times talk. Now, in addition to this, Kanye also gifted him some white sneakers, and the president of Uganda said, I thank Kanye for the gift of white sneakers. Enjoy your time in Uganda. It is the true pearl of Africa.
Starting point is 00:55:14 All right. Jada Pinkett Smith on her Red Table Talk. Will Smith was on, and he talked about the struggles that he had in his marriage with Jada Pinkett Smith. Here's what he said. And there was a period where mommy woke up and cried 45 days straight. I started keeping a diary. Damn.
Starting point is 00:55:34 You missed some days. It was every morning. I think that's the worst I've ever felt in our marriage. Wow. I was failing miserably. Nobody gonna ask why? Yeah, how was he failing? That's what I wanted to know.
Starting point is 00:55:49 As a man, when I saw that yesterday, I wanted to know how he was failing. Because I'm the type of person, you know, smart people learn from their own mistakes. Wild people learn from their mistakes. Well, Red Table Talks returns on October 22nd. Oh, so you're going to see the whole episode then? Yeah, you'll get to see the whole episode. Oh, okay. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
Starting point is 00:56:02 And, you know, previously they've said a lot of different things about each other, like, you know, Jada Pickett-Smith says, here's the thing about Will and I, we're a family that's never going down as far as a separation. She said, we are family, take all of that whole marriage relationship crap at the end of the day, Will and I are family, I'm gonna hold him down, it doesn't matter. They don't even
Starting point is 00:56:19 say that they're married anymore, according to Will Smith. He said, we refer to ourselves as life partners. So they've been together for 20 years and they have two kids together as well, as you guys know. Oh, listen,
Starting point is 00:56:29 I know I'm a Pinkett Smith Winfrey knows Carter and as a Pinkett Smith Winfrey knows Carter, I can't wait until Will Smith lays a verse for Smile Beach. All right?
Starting point is 00:56:37 That's all I want for Christmas. That's all I'm telling the universe. Okay? Nobody lives their best life better than Will Smith. I can't wait until he lays a verse
Starting point is 00:56:44 to the Lil Duval Smash record. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. I'm telling you, the universe is listening to me. The universe is always listening to me, by the way. Did you see the video Will Smith posted yesterday where he had Smile Bitch playing in the background? Yes.
Starting point is 00:56:58 Okay, y'all just wait. Just wait. Just wait on it. All right. Who are you giving that donkey to? You know, man, I try every day. I really do. I try.
Starting point is 00:57:09 No, you don't. I try my hardest not to give donkey of the day to people in Florida. But they do not disappoint. And this story right here actually is kind of inspiring in a sick, sick way. Because how far are you willing to go for the one you love? How far are you willing to go for the one you love? Huh? How far are you willing to go to get your bae back if your bae leaves you? All the way.
Starting point is 00:57:29 Okay, well, we're going to see. All right. All right. When we come back, it's the Breakfast Club. Come on. Make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida, man. Florida, man. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.
Starting point is 00:57:42 Yes, you are a donkey. A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife. Police arrested an Orlando man for talking a flamingo. It's a breakfast club, bitchy. Donkey of the day. With Charlemagne the guy.
Starting point is 00:58:02 I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this. Wow. They keep letting me get them because they just keep coming up with Charlemagne the guy. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this. Wow. They keep letting me get them because they just keep coming up with this great content, man. Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, October 15th. Today is the 15th, right? No, the 16th. Tuesday, October 16th. It goes to a 28-year-old man named Justin Foster.
Starting point is 00:58:18 And if you just heard that new customized Donkey of the Day intro, courtesy of Taylor Hayes, then you know Justin Foster is indeed from where all the craziest people in America come from, Florida. Yes, as your Uncle Charlotte said in the intro, all the craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. I'm going to be in Florida at some point in the next couple of weeks promoting my new book, Shook One Anxiety, playing tricks on me and making sure all you crazy-ass Florida folks pull up to the polls to vote for Andrew Gillum as your next governor. So don't ever think I don't like Florida, okay?
Starting point is 00:58:47 I am highly entertained by Floridians. And I am strangely inspired but also equally sickened by the story I'm about to tell you. Justin lives in Tallahassee, Florida where my man Andrew Gillum is mayor. Now this right here lets you know how crazy Florida folks are. See, Justin had a boo, okay? A young lady who was his girlfriend. All right, but they are not together anymore. But Justin still has love for his queen.
Starting point is 00:59:09 And like most women, when they get out of a relationship, at some point, they're going to start a new one. Okay, guys seem to think that when they are in a relationship with a woman, that the woman is going to be his forever. But that's not how life works, fellas. All right, when you break up with a woman, the world keeps turning, and the fire in her loins keeps burning. Okay, Justin, I understand this woman is the light of your life, the fire in your loins. I understand your world is in complete darkness without her, but you just have to find
Starting point is 00:59:34 someone else to light up your life. But sadly, that flame you are looking for will probably be at the bottom of your cellmates. But because Justin is a jealous ex-boyfriend and jealous ex-boyfriends refuse to let you be happy with someone else. Okay, ladies. Oh, when you move on, they all of a sudden want to do everything they should have been doing when y'all was together. All of a sudden, they want to be the man for you that they always should have been. Why?
Starting point is 00:59:57 Because men never know what they got until it's gone. And sometimes you have to see something you love being cared for by someone else in order to really appreciate it. Justin is jealous of his ex-girl's new man and we all know jealousy is just love and hate at the same time because he loves his ex and hates that she's with another man. So how do you hurt your ex? Well you either harm her or harm her new man and Justin chose to harm her new man. Now the chose to harm her new man. Now, the new man lives in Chicago. And Justin got on a plane from Florida and flew to Chicago.
Starting point is 01:00:30 This right here is why Florida crazy isn't a league of its own. We all know the reputation of Chicago. Chirac is what they call it, all right? People there don't play, all right? With all the smoke that's in Chicago, Justin got on a plane and went to Chicago to confront his ex's new man. It's not his fault. No, and Justin's mind is.
Starting point is 01:00:50 Do you know how crazy you have to be to pull up to Chicago looking for action? All right, not like Tekashi69 pulling up and taking a video in the middle of the night when no one is around. I'm talking coming there looking for one man, and that man was 26 years old, and according to prosecutors in court
Starting point is 01:01:03 via the Chicago Tribune, Justin caught the new boyfriend lacking in the streets, okay? Hit him in the head with a tire iron, all right? That's crazy. Hit him so hard that the victim now has permanent brain damage. Then Justin carved his initials into the victim's leg, a nice JF. I don't even know his middle name. Just in case you don't know who did this. Just in case you don't J.F. I don't even know his middle name.
Starting point is 01:01:26 Just in case you don't know who did this. Just in case you don't know. Goodness. All right, J.F. was here. And then Justin proceeded to cut his penis off. What do you mean? What do you mean, what do I mean? What the hell did I say? All right.
Starting point is 01:01:39 What do you mean? Come here. Give me a knife and I'll show you. All right? Round of applause for Florida. They never disappoint. Goodness gracious. Justin cut off his ex's new man's penis.
Starting point is 01:01:52 Oh, he held it in his hand and tripped? Good question, Envy. You want to know what Justin did with the penis? All right, I'll tell you what Justin did with the penis. All right? He just tossed it over a fence. All right? And left the guy laying there in a pool of his own blood.
Starting point is 01:02:06 And then Justin jumped on a plane to Atlanta like nothing happened. He just jumped on a plane to Atlanta like he didn't just castrate somebody in the middle of the street. Just another day in the life of a Floridian. Now, Justin was arrested and taken back to Chicago, and he is now being held on a $1 million bond. Nothing else to add to this. Florida, ladies and gentlemen. Please give Justin Foster the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day.
Starting point is 01:02:40 You are the donkey of the day Yee-haw Envy, I asked you last break how far you willing to go for the one you love. On a scale of one to Justin cutting his ex's new man's penis off, how far are you willing to go? I ain't grabbing it. How far are you willing to go, Envy? I ain't going that far.
Starting point is 01:03:06 Why are you talking like that? Hmm? But what's sad is that he has permanent brain damage after this. What's sad is he ain't got no penis. He ain't got no penis, man. Yeah, but he has permanent brain damage. Man, if I ain't had no penis, I wouldn't want to know either. Oh, that's really sad.
Starting point is 01:03:19 Man, please. Man ain't got no penis. Having no penis is like having permanent brain damage. You know what his psyche will be like for the rest of his life? Man, grab that man's penis and cut it off. Like mentally, he got no penis. Having no penis is like having permanent brain damage. You know what his psyche will be like for the rest of his life? Man, grab that man's penis and cut it off. Like mentally, he's nothing. Throw it over the fence. Come on, man.
Starting point is 01:03:30 Walking around with no penis? You know what kind of mental torture that is? What kind of emotional torture that is? Ain't enough therapy in the world. He had to go get that penis after that. Ain't enough Xanax. Ain't enough of Oxycontin. I'm with you.
Starting point is 01:03:41 Ain't enough cocaine. Ain't enough cognac in the world. Walking around with no penis? I don't think he even knows what's going on. He ain't got no penis? Vegetative state. God works in mysterious ways. All right.
Starting point is 01:03:52 Well, thank you for that donkey today. Up next, let's have some fun on this Tuesday. Now, that's stupid. You said he's in a vegetarian state. And he ain't got no meat. See? See? I hate y'all. I hate y'all. I hate y'all. He ain't got no meat. See? See?
Starting point is 01:04:08 I hate y'all. I hate y'all. I hate y'all. I hate y'all. I hate y'all. I'm not messing with y'all. Not this morning. All right. Let's slander the Breakfast Club.

If there's something that you don't like about me, Anjali Yee, or Charlamagne, you can slander us right now. I love this segment. It's a very humbling experience. I think that we all need to get this at least once a week just to stay humble.
Starting point is 01:05:12 All right, Manuel. Yes. Who you want to slander, bro? You and Charlamagne. Okay, why? We right here, sir. Well, one, you blocked me a while ago, but I'm a bar,
Starting point is 01:05:22 so Atlantic probably pays you to do it. They probably pays you to do it. But they probably pay you to do it. But Charlamagne. Yes, sir. Now, we both from Charleston, you know. 843, what's happening? 843, but this is, I got one problem. Now, I know you like your girl Cardi B, but why you always got to drag my cousin Nicky?
Starting point is 01:05:37 I love Nicky too, though. But it just seems like, it just seems like it's always from a bitter standpoint. I like her, but Cardi's my girl. It's kind of obvious. I don't understand why we Cardi's my girl. It's kind of obvious. I don't understand why we can't all be objective. It's nuanced to everything. I can love you and still critique you. I'm a cultural critic.
Starting point is 01:05:50 Did you buy Nicki's album? I did. How many times? I bought it three times, and I streamed it on Apple Music. I love Nicki, and I want Nicki and Cardi to be cool. But leave me alone. I don't like all them unicorns in my Instagram, man. You was like, I'm going to stop playing her music or something like that.
Starting point is 01:06:07 Because she threatened the DJ. You're right. You're right. She did. She did. See? But we good now. I think they chopped it up.
Starting point is 01:06:13 We good. And her album went platinum. So shout out to Nicki. It is platinum. You know, the broke Bob's did something for once. You know, Charlamagne. That's right. Y'all Bob's had a rough year financially.
Starting point is 01:06:23 Hold on. Andy, you talked to Nicki? No, I didn't talk to her. Oh, I thought you said y'all chopped it up. No, no. I said Charlamagne? That's right. Y'all bobs had a rough year financially. Hold on. Andy, you talked to Nikki? No, I didn't talk to her. Oh, I thought you said y'all chomped it up. No, no. I said Charlamagne selfing her. I guess chomping her. I spoke to each other.
Starting point is 01:06:32 All right. Well, thank you for calling, man. That wasn't that too bad of a slander. Hello, who's this? Yo, what's up? This is Nelson from Detroit. I want to slander y'all. Okay.
Starting point is 01:06:40 Come on, Nelson. Bring it. Bring it. Go ahead. I want to start with Angela Yee. Every time I try to buy a house here, she already own it. But what you doing for the community here in Detroit, Angela? I actually just joined an investment group, and we're actually in the process of putting
Starting point is 01:06:54 together a women in construction plan for women in Detroit to start doing construction. Not only that, she's building up broken down and horrible houses and fixing them up and allowing people to live in them. I actually bought a house that somebody from another country was about to buy a white woman and I got it from her the day of. You'd rather she have it? Hold on. Somebody from another country was about to buy a white woman? My house.
Starting point is 01:07:13 You just said about to buy a white woman. Wow. I canceled my standard for Angie. I want a standard Charlemagne now. Go. I need you to come with the fire, man. You kind of whack. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:24 Well, let me just skip to envy then. Why you always got to drop one of the clues bombs? Why you can't afford none of your own bombs? Why you got to drop clues bombs? It's me that be dropping the bombs, sir. I never drop clues bombs. That's Charlemagne. This is Charlemagne, sir.
Starting point is 01:07:35 I cancel my slander. This is whack. Boo. Come on, man. Where y'all at? Where the guys that be slandering us on social media, man? I need some good slander, man. This is whack. Jason, slander the Breakfast Club, man. Where y'all at? Where the guys that be slandering us on social media, man? I need some good slander, man. Jason, slander the Breakfast Club, man.
Starting point is 01:07:49 Yo, good morning. How y'all doing? What's up, man? It's gonna be hard for me to slander y'all because I met all three of y'all in person at some time and point, but Envy, I just need to ask you a question. What's that? Why are you so sensitive with that hang up button when somebody says something you don't like? Because your hand be...
Starting point is 01:08:04 Oh, that slipped. Oh my gosh, you hung up on him? I promise that one slipped. You so sensitive with that hang up button when somebody say something you don't like. Because your hand be. Oh, that slipped. I promise. Oh, my gosh. You hung up on him? I promise that one slipped. No, it didn't. That was so rude. I promise.
Starting point is 01:08:11 I am so disappointed in Breakfast Club listeners this morning. I promise. The reason I am disappointed in y'all, because y'all are usually a lot more greasy, a lot more spicy with the slander. You know what I'm saying? Y'all real soft this morning. AJ. Hello.
Starting point is 01:08:24 Who you want to slander this morning, sir? I love all of you guys. I kind of had a thing that I wanted to talk about. I listen to lip service every week, so it's like nothing personal or anything. I just wanted to speak on how you guys have a lot of women on there. You know, you guys interview a lot of women, like the Nivea interview. And Charlamagne kind of slanders them. And Angela Yee just doesn't say anything. She just
Starting point is 01:08:47 sits there with her sweater and just tights. You know? Her sweater and tights. Now, I saw a lot of people saying that about the Nivea interview. Like, we didn't I didn't slander Nivea. Me and Nivea was just having a good conversation. It was rough to watch, though. Especially, you know, when
Starting point is 01:09:02 you ask her about self-love and things like that. It was really rough to watch. But that's the clip they're using to say that I don't respect women. Because she, I think, it's only like 10 seconds, so you hear me say to her, do you love yourself because you effing all these dudes? But y'all didn't hear Nivea previously say she sleeps with whoever she wants when she wants to. Like, she's a proud hoe. See, that's the media's agenda.
Starting point is 01:09:22 I know. I just know what I saw. All right. You know what I mean? He didn't even watch the interview, but you had's the media's agenda. I know. I just know what I saw. All right. You know what I mean? He didn't even watch the interview, but you had a problem with the clip. You know what? Most people didn't. And by the way, Nivea tweeted that she had a great time here at the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:09:33 I know why my hand does that. All right. Okay. But I do have a, we can't just call women hoes because they sleep with people. If you choose to do that, that's your choice. I didn't call her a hoe. She called herself a hoe. No, you just said it now.
Starting point is 01:09:42 No, I did not. She said she was a proud hoe. I said to her, your first, last, and best love is self-love. I said, do you love yourself because you sleep with all these dudes? And I'm just making sure she does. That's all. I ain't call her a hoe. All right.
Starting point is 01:09:53 Slam to the Breakfast Club. 800-585-1051. We need some good ones, man. Yeah, that was whack. I'm going to be honest with y'all. Y'all was whack. Hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:10:01 Good morning. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. If you want to slam to the Breakfast Club, you can do it up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. If you want to slander The Breakfast Club, you can do it right now. 800-585-1051. Chanel. Yes. I want to slander you.
Starting point is 01:10:14 Why do you want to slander me? I slid in your DMs a while ago. You have yet to look at it. It's not even my time to hit on you. It's just looking for guidance on the real estate side. See, it sounded weird the way you said slitting your DMs. Slitting your DMs. You got to say, I sent you a DM.
Starting point is 01:10:29 I tried to contact you. I sent you a DM. What was your question? I tried to contact you. I just wanted to know some guidance on the real estate side of things. I'm from Detroit, and I know that you mention it a lot. This is not slander. All right, you hold on.
Starting point is 01:10:44 All right, you hold on, okay? And I got you, girl. I just joined an investment group in Detroit for real estate that's led by two black women that you'll love. You hold on, mama. None of this is slander. Hello, who's this? Hey, it's T.
Starting point is 01:10:56 You want to slander the Breakfast Club, bro? Yeah, man. I've been a fan for the last three years. Go ahead. My break with you guys is you envy Anzalee. You guys constantly flaunt your wealth in everybody's faces, and then sometimes act like you guys are broke, and it's kind of
Starting point is 01:11:09 annoying. When do I flaunt my wealth? Because I'm not wealthy. When do I say I'm broke? Oh, y'all definitely be saying that. No. Envy's never said he's broke. So, you guys had a segment saying, did you guys ever buy something super expensive, but didn't return it because you guys were afraid that people would look at you the wrong way?
Starting point is 01:11:29 What? Angelina said something about the iPhone cover. I remember that. That's Charlamagne that said he returns the stuff after he wears it. Oh. And the reason I was upset about the iPhone cover was because it was so expensive and I was embarrassed and I didn't want to have to pay all that money for it because it was expensive. Just because we work hard don't mean we ain't cheap, bro. I'm the broke one, okay?
Starting point is 01:11:44 I'm the one that shops at Target. You ain't broke one, okay? I'm the one that shops at Target. Yeah, bro. All right? But thank you. Everybody shops at Target. I got three old Timberlands that I'm wearing right now, okay? Hello, who's this? Look how my Timberlands look.
Starting point is 01:11:53 Look how my tongue look on my Timbs. All right. What's up, man? You want to slant to the breakfast club? Go ahead, bro. Hey, bro, I think you guys need to bring more conservative voices up in the breakfast club, and I think you guys are scared, man. That's not true.
Starting point is 01:12:06 We invite conservatives up here all the time. They don't show up. We actually do have a black Republican coming up here. That's not true. Because Tommy Sotomayor said he went up there. He didn't let him in. What? Tommy Sotomayor.
Starting point is 01:12:16 You can't just, first of all, you can't just pop up. You have to be scheduled. What are you talking about? There's a producer. You got to email. Like, this is, you know. He said Charlamagne told him to come. Anytime he's in New York, just come up.
Starting point is 01:12:27 He said that. Okay, I don't know why Charlamagne would say that, but you definitely can't just pop up to our job. Me and Tommy were having conversations about coming up. Something happened. I forgot whatever. Keep our conservatives up there. I know they're not afraid to come and debate you guys.
Starting point is 01:12:42 We are going to actually have a Republican from Brooklyn on the show. He's actually running for a New York State Attorney General. Okay. It's conservative voices I like, though. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is James Jacksonville. What's up, man? You want to stay under the Breakfast Club?
Starting point is 01:12:56 Go ahead, bro. Yeah, the only thing I want to say, but first off, I want to start with Charlamagne. Charlamagne, you're a cool dude, but you got to start wearing makeup. I don't wear makeup. I tell him that every day. What's wrong with that? I don't wear makeup. I tell him that every day. What's wrong with that?
Starting point is 01:13:06 I don't wear makeup, though. I don't know. And I don't know if Team Cardi B paying you, but you be riding her d***. I love Cardi B. Cardi B don't have
Starting point is 01:13:15 d*** to ride, though. If she did, he would. He doesn't want to mess up his makeup. I mess with Envy. Envy a cool dude, he just gotta start dressing his age.
Starting point is 01:13:22 Shut up. Start dressing like the 47-year-old you are. Shut up, but I ain't 47. What else you got? The dude that came out of jail. Go ahead, man. What else you got?
Starting point is 01:13:34 Best slander we've gotten so far. I don't know. Your voice don't match your face. You look different from where your voice come from. Other than that, you give good advice. I guess that's all right. All right, man. Most radio personalities' face don't match. Yeah, I have a face for sounds. Other than that, you give good advice. I guess that's all right. Okay. All right, man. Most radio personalities' face don't match.
Starting point is 01:13:47 Yeah, I have a face for radio. Make this good, Trav. Trav, I'm going to be honest with you. Oh, Trav. Everybody's been white. What's up, you? Charlemagne, Charlemagne. Come on, sis.
Starting point is 01:13:56 Give it to me. Charlemagne, you know I love you, Charlemagne. Give it to me, sis. Just give it to me. Don't sweeten me up. So, you owe somebody an apology. Who? And you need to bring them on. Just give it to me. Don't sweeten me up. So you owe somebody an apology. Who? And you need to bring them on your show and apologize to them.
Starting point is 01:14:09 This person was having a mental breakdown. You sit on that show. You talk about mental health all the time. When Kanye was having a mental health problem, you stood behind him. But Tyrese? Oh, you put Tyrese to the side. You owe that man an apology because that was your friend. Okay, all right.
Starting point is 01:14:23 That is not true. You are a horrible person for the way that you treated Tyrese when he was going You owe that man an apology because that was your friend. Okay, alright. That is not true. You are a horrible person for the way that you treated Tyrese when he was going through what he was going through. Stand behind Tyrese. What y'all don't see is Tyrese sending me and DJ Envy a bunch of text messages threatening me before I started
Starting point is 01:14:37 going in on Tyrese because Tyrese was my man. So, you remember that, Envy? Yes. When he sent me the text messages and I told him to SMD because he was talking real reckless and crazy to me. But he was having mental problems. I didn't know that. I didn't know that. So apologize to that man.
Starting point is 01:14:50 No, no, no, no, no, no. Because Tyrese, and by the way, when me and Tyrese finally did talk after all of that, Tyrese said he don't even remember none of that because of the medication and stuff that he was on. Okay. So no, I'm not apologizing for that. You were mean to Tyrese, though. Because Tyrese came at me crazy behind the scenes.
Starting point is 01:15:08 Well, thank you, Trav. That was good for bringing that up. You're welcome. That's my guy though. Oh, and also, stop lying because Kanye canceled on you because he in Africa. Bye. That is not true. He said bye. Trav got off the phone fast. But that's not true. Kanye was supposed to be
Starting point is 01:15:23 landing back here in New Jersey at Teterboro at 730 today. Oh, man. Why do people act like planes don't exist? Slam to the Breakfast Club. 800-585-1051. Yee, we got rumors on the way? Well, somebody else is explaining themselves, and that person is Joe Button. If you guys remember, Offset said that he ran.
Starting point is 01:15:41 Joe Button ran from him. Well, here's what Joe Button said really happened. All right, we'll do that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good 90s vibe. Alright. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast
Starting point is 01:16:00 Club. I'm trying to get Envy to clean this record. Yeah, we got a treat for y'all for the mix. Alright. Are you gonna play my Stabbing song, Yearning? Yeah, I'm gonna get that onvy to clean this record. Yeah, we got a treat for y'all for the mix. Alright. Are you gonna play my Stabbing Song, Yearning? Yeah, I'm gonna get that on too. Alright, good. That's clean already. But this Tiana Taylor record? Yes. The remix to her single? Gonna Love Me. Oh my goodness.
Starting point is 01:16:16 It should've been a top five record in the country. It should've been. Def Jam, good music. Y'all dropped the ball on that one. Man, we didn't support it enough. That record is dope. But we got the remix. Hopefully I can clean it up before the mix. But right now, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Joe Button.
Starting point is 01:16:28 This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, Joe Button addressed what Offset had to say about him. Now, Offset had posted
Starting point is 01:16:41 on social media, I watched your show. You are grown ass and-word speaking on women. I seen you in Barney's and you ran like I was going to do something to you. You a hoe ass N-word. Soon you get touched, you going to be police. Well, Joe Button has his own explanation of what happened in Barney's and why he might have been doing a little bit of a trot.
Starting point is 01:16:59 Here's what he said happened. I guarantee you that he did see me in Barney's running. I don't know why I still think I'm the guy that can hold a piss. So, bum-ass Joe, who hates shopping, don't never shop, got to go from one floor to the other floor. I'm positive I was in there. Can't hold my f***ing pee. Got to now run from floor four or three all the way to the cut on floor two.
Starting point is 01:17:19 Just my luck, Offset would be blouse shopping on his side. Now, Joe Button says, he saw me, I didn't see him. I don't know how he saw it. He didn't see him, but he knew he was blouse shopping. Is Joe saying he wasn't running from Offset, but he was running to the bathroom to pee? Yeah. He said he couldn't hold it. Now, I don't know if Joe saw Offset or not.
Starting point is 01:17:39 I hate when you can't hold your pee and you got to do that pee dance. But you do make a good observation. How did he know that Offset was blouse shopping on the side? But I will say if you think that you got smoked with somebody the last thing you're going to do is go in a bathroom to pee. That's when you're the most vulnerable. That's when you get caught, right?
Starting point is 01:17:55 He was saying he wasn't running. He was saying he was trying to go to the bathroom. That's why he was running. Either way, if you think that you got... That's what makes me think Joe probably didn't see him because Joe's smart enough to know if you got beef with somebody, you're not going to go in a bathroom to pee. You know what I'm saying? In every movie, that's how people get caught. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:18:11 Using the urinal. Joe's been around the block long enough to know that that's not what you do. So I'm pretty sure Joe didn't see. You know it's about to go down when there's a few different urinals and someone stands right next to you. But all the rest of them are open. And they don't save a urinal space. How would you know? I don't know. That's what I've heard before.
Starting point is 01:18:27 I'm just repeating what male etiquette is. I heard you're not supposed to stand right next to somebody. Absolutely not. So I can imagine how scary it would be if you're at the urinal and it's empty and someone comes and uses a urinal right next to you. That always happens in the movies. Like Bishop pulled up on cue at the locker. Right. How you doing today?
Starting point is 01:18:44 Just side eyeing you while you got your penis in your hand. Just turn around and pee on him. No, or gun in your face. That's the best you can come up with. And what if they're like, ah. Alright. Melania Trump. Her spokeswoman wants people to boycott
Starting point is 01:19:00 T.I. And all of that is because T.I. has a video that features a Melania Trump lookalike. And it's a very racy video. So I guess there's some issues now with Melania Trump. Now, T.I. had wrote in a Twitter post on Saturday a link to the video. And he wrote, dare 45, I ain't Kanye. And then you see a clip of Donald Trump leaving the White House in a helicopter as T.I. is sitting behind his desk in the Oval Office.
Starting point is 01:19:26 That's when a Melania lookalike enters. And the Melania lookalike is wearing that I really don't care jacket, heels, and nothing else. And then she takes off her clothes for T.I. So I guess Melania Trump has a problem with that. T.I. wants all the smoke. See? Clearly. He ain't Kanye.
Starting point is 01:19:43 Clearly T.I. wants all the smoke. See. Clearly. He ain't Kanye. Clearly T.I. wants all the smoke. I see. All right. Now Alyssa Milano shared a video on her social media. Now this is a video that she recorded
Starting point is 01:19:52 for her daughter. Who's Alyssa Milano? Alyssa Milano's an actress. She was in Who's the Boss? Melrose Place. She was in Ernest.
Starting point is 01:19:59 Okay. Well, anyway, she talks about her sexual assault and in this video she actually made it for her daughter but decided to share it with the world. Just given the state of the world today.
Starting point is 01:20:09 She posted one year ago, I recorded this for my daughter explaining why I shared my story of sexual assault. I never expected to release it publicly. Now I feel it's too important not to share. Hashtag me too. Here's part of the video. One night when I was lying in bed with you, I looked down at you and I got really scared. I got scared for you. I sent out a tweet asking for women to stand in solidarity.
Starting point is 01:20:38 And a lot of people replied. So in a way, I wanted to make this video for you because in a way all of this is because of you now she goes on uh to talk about why she put out this tape and how concerned she is for her daughter who's four years old right now a lot of women are working very hard to make sure that silence is not the norm for your generation my biggest hope for you is that you never have to say, me too. God forbid, if you do have to ever say me too, I want you to know that you will be heard
Starting point is 01:21:15 and that you should speak your truth and that mom is always here for you. So listen. Sounds like she was very emotional when she was thinking about her daughter and everything that's going on in the world. You know, she said Donald Trump is our president. Crazy. And more importantly than that, women everywhere are sharing their stories of sexual harassment and assault. And they're saying phrases like me too and times up.
Starting point is 01:21:37 But she is a little baby. So I guess she recorded this for her daughter so she can always have that. Well, the good thing about, you know about Donald Trump being president, that will not last always. He's got two more years, at the most, six left.
