Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water,

That's Escape from Z-A-Q-A-S-T-A-N on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best, and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I can't even deal with you. Y'all are wild. Y'all are wild. Can I live? You are out of control. I can't even deal with you.

Y'all are so petty. Why are y'all so petty? The world's most dangerous morning show. DJ Envy. Captain of this bitch. Angela Yee. I stay in everybody's business, but in a good way. Charlamagne Tha God.

The ruler of rubbing you the wrong way. The Breakfast Club. Made for everybody. Good morning, USA! It is. Pump day. Good morning to one and all. What's happening? Yes, good morning. I was actually hosting a screening of the movie Zola. Y'all remember Zola when she did those tweets a few years ago?

She was talking about this whole situation where she left from Detroit. She met this girl. They went to Tampa together to dance. And then it turned into this whole big saga with the pimp involved and the girl's boyfriend. And then Ava DuVernay was tweeting, this needs to be a movie. I do recall that. Everybody was trying to make it into a movie. Well, now it's a movie. Is it good?

Yeah, I enjoyed it. It comes out on June 30th. Okay. I like stuff like that. I like stuff that organically happens in that way and then, you know, becomes something. Because, you know, a lot of people say things on social media like, oh, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that, I'm going to make this happen, I'm going to make that happen.

But for them to actually have turned that into a movie, that's dope. Wasn't there another movie? What was the movie Issa Rae and Rihanna then was supposed to do? Remember that was something that was happening on Twitter? Oh, yeah, I remember that. Buddy comedy, Rihanna and Lupita Nyong'o. Yeah, I remember they were discussing that too. But this one was,

and Zola was actually at the screening. So we did a Q&A afterward to talk about what was embellished, what really happened. You know who else is in it? Jason Mitchell. Oh, okay. Who was on The Chi previously.

Phenomenal actor. And Taylor Page is the star of it. She plays the character of Zola. Okay. Oh, that's dope. And then I voted yesterday, too, because New York City, we had our, it was Election Day yesterday.

Now, we don't know a winner yet, right? No, we probably won't know for real until July. We do know that Eric Adams, who's my guy, he's our Brooklyn Borough President right now, he's in the lead to be the mayor as far as first choice. But, you know, it's the first time we've done ranked choice voting, and they're doing it in a lot of places now.

So you pick one through five. I don't understand that. Yeah, first time we've done ranked choice voting and they're doing it in a lot of places now. So you pick one through five. I don't understand the ranked choice voting. You know what that feels like? It feels like how they give kids participation trophies and all that. So they have like one through seven sometimes at these competitions. It's like that defeats the whole

purpose of picking an elected official. All I need is one. They were saying if you don't win number one, maybe you can get number two. What happens if you win number two, though? What's the consolation prize? What's the consolation prize? I don't know. Well, the way it is,

if you don't have a majority in first choice, then they start eliminating you. So it actually means that there won't be a runoff election in case it's really close, which they said elections are very expensive. And so that's why they're saying, and it gives people more of a choice. So if a voter's

first choice is eliminated or something happens, then it instantly goes to the second choice. So if something happens and nobody has a majority and first choice, then they already have the person who's the winner. They said he was up like 32%. That's what I was confused. Yeah, he's at 32. And then Maya Wiley

is in second place. Catherine Garcia is in third place. Andrew Yang conceded. Alright. And he was in first place for a long time during polling. Everybody was like, Andrew Yang, Andrew Yang. That was very, very, very, very, very, very early on. And then he

started talking too much. It's like when you know, I always hear women say, I liked him until he started talking. Goodness gracious. And Alvin Bragg, who was on The Breakfast Club recently too for Manhattan DA,

looks like he's going to win that also. I saw that. I saw that. All right, well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news. I'm sure we'll be talking more of that. And what else? Yep. I mean, yeah, we'll. I saw that. I saw that. Alright, well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news. I'm sure we'll be talking more of that and what else? Yep. I mean, yeah, we'll talk more about that.

And we'll talk more about coronavirus. Now that in schools, they're trying to give you a fine if you don't get the... if you don't go ahead and get vaccinated. Fine who? We'll talk about it when we come back. 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 God.

We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. NBA last night, the Suns beat the Clippers 104-103. It was a last-minute buzzer beating Aliouk to win the game. Not gonna lie, those Suns look special, man. You know what I mean? I love the Milwaukee Bucks and the way they're put together as a team. But I don't know.

I think the Phoenix Suns are going to win it all. Yeah, I think so as well. Paul George missed two clutch free throws at the end of the game. Now, also tonight, Game 1, Atlanta Hawks versus the Bucks. That's at 830. Now, the NBA draft, I'll just tell you the top three teams. The Trey Pistons got the number one pick. The Houston Rockets got the number two pick.

And the Cleveland Cavaliers got the number one pick. The Houston Rockets got the number two pick. And the Cleveland Cavaliers got the number three pick. Alright. And what else we got, Yee? Well, Rose College in Memphis, they're now going to charge you if you're not vaccinated. If you're a student that goes there, there's a $1,500 fee per semester. And that is to cover the cost of weekly

testing. So you'll need to test negative in the 14 days before returning to campus. You have to wear a mask indoors, socially distance from others. And whether or not that fee will apply to unvaccinated employees, that has not yet been made. So my body, my choice, don't apply to vaccines. Like I understand schools are their own entities. You know, I guess I guess that's a, you know, it could be considered a private institution, but you can't make me pay to put something in my body. I don't want it in my body, right? Shouldn't my body

and my choice apply to vaccines as well? If it's a private school, they can do what they want to do. Yeah, but you shouldn't force somebody to do that. My body, my choice, right? You're paying for the expense that you're adding. Yeah, and they don't want it to spread amongst the school and other students, so it's private. Well, once again, my body, my choice. Just because you got a private institution,

you're going to force me to put something in my body. I don't want my body. Well, you could not do it. You just have to pay to get tested at weekly testing. And they said that's fifteen hundred dollars per semester. So they're not saying you have to be vaccinated. What they are saying is they're going to charge you for it. They're going to charge you to get tested.

That's horrible. Don't your kids have to be vaccinated to go to school? Yeah. Right. What's the difference? I don't know. I didn't know you have to be vaccinated to be in college. You got to be vaccinated to be to school? Yeah. Right? So what's the difference? I don't know. Yeah, actually, yeah, going to school. I didn't know you have to be vaccinated to be in college.

You got to be vaccinated to be in college? Yeah. You got to be vaccinated to be in elementary school. I said college. Ain't this a college? Yeah, college as well. You got to have it. I didn't know that.

I didn't go to college, so I wouldn't know these things. I'm trying to think. I didn't know you had to be vaccinated to be in college. Yeah, you have to get your shots. Absolutely. I know you do have to get shots, but babies have to. My friend just had a baby. She said that she's not going to let the baby see anybody because the baby have to get their shots. Absolutely. I know you do have to get shots, but babies have to, my friend just had a baby. She said that she's not going

to let the baby see anybody because the baby didn't get their shots. What kind of shots are those until two months or something? I know babies have to get shots, but we're talking about grown adults in college.

I'm not sure. I can't remember. I can't remember if you have to get your shots to go to college. You don't remember? Didn't y'all go to college? We did, but I don't remember.

No, I didn't have to get shots to go to college, but I know to travel to No, I didn't have to get shots to go to college. But I know to travel to certain countries, like you do have to get shots and vaccinations to go certain places. Parts of Africa, yeah, all the time. I know that. But you could also choose not to go to that school and say, I'm not going here.

That's also just horrible, though, because these kids already got a bunch of expenses. You know what I mean? Some of them are already in debt, and you're going to put another charge on them just because they don't want something in their body? Mm-hmm. That's insane. Now students are suing Indiana University

and federal court over their vaccine mandate. The mandate requires students, faculty and staff to be vaccinated or get an exemption for religious or medical reasons before starting in the fall. Eight students have now filed a lawsuit asking a judge to prevent the school from enforcing it. They're saying it's a violation of the 14th Amendment and state law.

I would think so. I would think this is a violation of some type of rights. But what do I know? So we'll see how this plays out, because I feel like this is going to set the precedent for what's going to happen at these other schools, too. Right? It should. All right. Well, now, 150 Houston Methodist employees have resigned or were fired after they

refused to get the vaccine. And so these people are out of a job starting yesterday. A judge did dismiss a lawsuit against the hospital by employees who opposed a COVID-19 vaccine mandate as a condition of employment. So these employees either resigned in the two-week suspension period or were terminated on Tuesday. I need to redefine print. This don't sound legal.

This don't sound legal and it sound unethical. You're going to fire somebody just because they're choosing not to put something in their body. Yeah, that sounds wild. But it makes no sense. Like, I don't understand the logic. It almost feels like, you know, the benefits and the pros and cons with taking the shot. You decide if you want. Like, if you don't take the shot and you get sick, that's on you. We gave you the pros and the cons with taking the shot. You decide if you want.

Like if you don't take the shot and you get sick, that's on you. We gave you the option to do it, right? Maybe you're putting your coworkers at risk too though. But if they have the vaccine. Now the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in December said companies can legally mandate that all employees reentering the workplace and new hires be vaccinated for COVID-19.

The only exceptions allowed are for disabilities and religious reasons. I just don't understand how you get down or lay down people when it comes to, you know, putting something in their body. If they choose not to put this vaccine in their body for whatever reason, they should be fired. Fined if you go to school. Yeah, that sounds a little crazy to me too. I don't see how that makes any sense to anybody. Yeah, that sounds crazy to me, too. All right, well, that is your front page news.

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Hit us up right now. Again, the number is 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

I'm darling. I'm darling. Hey, what you doing, man? I'm darling. I'm telling. I'm telling. Hey, what you doing, man? I'm telling. I'm calling you. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. 800-585-1051.

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? This is Dietrich. Your phone sounds like it needs a vaccine, sir. I know you want to talk about the vaccine. No, I just wanted to say about the front page news and the Houston Methodist, the vaccine and everything like that. I feel like, you know, if a job is requiring you to get a vaccine, I feel like, you know, you have two choices. Either get the vaccine or find another job.

Yeah, no, I mean, of course there's your two choices, but I don't necessarily think that's right. And I'm somebody who got the vaccine early on. But it's not FDA officially approved. And if somebody has doubts on taking the vaccine because there's not enough information, I don't think you should be able to fire them because of that. Well, you know, it's a hospital, so they have the right to do something like that. It's like they have the right to say if you don't get a flu vaccine unless you have a medical exemption or religious reason to not get it, then you don't have to get it. But at the same time, for something like this, like 99% of their staff got all the vaccines and everything like that. At the end of the day, like I said, they will give it a choice to either get it or not get it. But like I said, I feel like it's the hospital.

They have the right to do that. Okay. Thank you, brother. Hello, who's this? They definitely have the right, but. Okay. Thank you, brother. Hello, who's this? They definitely have the right, but that don't mean it is right. Hello, who's this? It's the truth. Hey, what's up, bro? Get it off your chest. Hey, good morning, guys.

I just want to talk about the COVID-19 thing. I feel like they're trying to enforce it to take the vaccine. I think it's not right, but eventually everybody's going to have to take it. And I feel like it, I think it's in the air. I don't think that COVID-19 thing was something that spread through people.

I think it's in the air, so they're trying to take the vaccine because you're already infected. I mean, you say, oh boy, but we don't know if it's airborne or not. You know what I've realized about this vaccine over the past year and a half? Don't nobody really know nothing. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country?

My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to

doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself.

It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Hey, Kiara. Hey, Kiara. Good morning. How are y'all doing today? How you doing? Peace, queen. How are you? I'm good.

I'm good. Thank you so much for asking. So I was calling because I called back in April for my birthday, and you all followed me. Thank you for that. But I had inquired about your tickets for your car show and you said you were spending some but I haven't received them yet. I know it's next week

So you are good. You can just come to the thing. Your name is on the list and you'll be good. But you just come to the thing. Your name is on the list, and you will be good. But you have to be vaccinated.

No, you don't have to be vaccinated to come. You don't have to be vaccinated to come. This is not a school. We're not going to charge you a penalty. It's Atlanta, and things are open in Atlanta. I believe they said over 70% of the people in Atlanta have their vaccine. But, yeah. How many are you coming with again?

I can just bring one other person person so I'm not by myself. That's cool. That's cool. We have you on the list plus two. So you all good. Okay. Thank you so much. I have one more question for Starlamaine. Yes, ma'am. Okay. So I started a book club with my friends last year during the pandemic when it first started. And so we just celebrated one year

this month. So if you had one recommendation for a book, what would it be? Just one. Oh man, right now I'm reading a great book called My Grandmother's Hands Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts

and Bodies. That's what I'm reading right now. But if I had to recommend a book to you, it would be State of Emergency by Tamika Mallory. How to Win in the Country We Built. Great read. Came out on May 11th. I figured, I figured. We're actually reading The Water Dance now by Tana Hachiko.

So, Saturday. I'm sorry? Oh, I haven't read The Water Dance yet, but I'm gonna tell you something. The Water Dance, you know, there's a book coming out on August 3rd called Shallow Waters, and it's about the African mermaid Yemiya. It's a fictional book, right? It's a young adult fiction book, and you know, there's a book coming out on August 3rd called Shallow Waters, and it's about the African mermaid Yemiya. It's a fictional book, right?

It's a young adult fiction book. And, you know, every time, you know, I go on Amazon, it's always compared to Ta-Nehisi Coates' The Water Dance. It's by Anita Kopex. It'll be out August 3rd. That's also coming out on my book in print, Black Privilege Publishing. But it's a really great read if you like The Water Dance. Gotcha. I'm writing all of this down. We're actually

meeting on Saturday and we're going to finish off the water dancers so I have to bring a suggestion for our next book. So I'm putting all of this down. I'm going to go look all of these up. The ones that I haven't heard yet. Are you trying to do fictional or non-fictional? That was going to be my question. What do you like?

We've actually done a little of both. We've done like a suspense. We've done, we did the relationship, a relationship of goals. That was our first, but we popped off of that. And so really, we don't care as long as it's something good. And we're all black women, so we're trying to stick with black authors for the most part. Oh, yeah. Everybody I told you is a black author.

Tamika Mallory, Anita Kopech. You know, I'm going to tell you something else. The Sword in the Shield by Peniel Joseph is a great read, yeah. Everybody I told you is a black author. Tamika Mallory, Anita Kopech. I'm going to tell you something else. The Sword in the Shield by Peniel Joseph is a great read, too. It explores the lives of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., but it does it in a real humanizing way that they do it. It's really good.

I have a good book for you guys, too, because you know I have a book club also, and this one's a really fun one, but it's a fiction. Well, it's actually an autobiography, Diamond Doris. She's the world's most notorious jewel thief. She's a black woman, but she's an international jewel thief. It's a really interesting read. Diamond Doris, and it's her memoir.

Okay, awesome. So I have a great little list here. Thank you so much. Sound like you good for the rest of the year, boo. That's right. I know, all right. We are good to go. Thanks. And I'll see you at the car here. Thank you so much. Sound like you good for the rest of the year, boo. That's right. I know. All right. We are good to go.

There's amusement rides for the kids Rock climbing wall, it's car cella So get your tickets if you haven't got it already Now we got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes, and let's talk about Juvé There were some issues with Michael B. Jordan

And his new rum, and we'll tell you what his response is To using the name Juvé For his rum Alright, we'll get into that next, it's The Breakfast Club, good morning The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Michael B. Jordan. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. All right. Well, Michael B. Jordan launched his Jouvet rum, and now he's going to have to change the name of it.

He didn't understand the history of it. Now, Zaria Ray wrote on social media, Jouvet, which can also be written and pronounced as Jouvet, is a broken-down version of the French Jouvet. The morning time referred to as day open. It originated in Trinidad, and it was a time when sugarcane fields caught on fire. Slaves were still forced to harvest their remaining crops

before complete destruction. That event was reenacted and male slaves were mocked by their masters. However, after emancipation, the slaves mocked the masters, mocking them. The festival begins way before the crack of dawn and proceeds a little past sunup. They were upset that Michael B. Jordan named his rum after Juve not even understanding the history of it.

Now, Nicki Minaj commented, I'm sure Michael B. Jordan didn't intentionally do anything. He thought Caribbean people would find offensive. But now that you are aware, change the name and continue to flourish and prosper. I thought Juve was a street party that they usually had Labor Day weekend. Shut up if you don't know the history. Oh my God. Shut up if you don't know the history. Is that how you play?

I'm asking a question. That's where people celebrate it all over and we do celebrate it before the West Indian American Day Parade here in New York. So that's what it is, right. But it originated, this is how it originated.

This is where the roots of that festival came from. Okay, I didn't know. So the reason why people celebrate, it came from Trinidad. No, I knew it came from Trinidad. And it's a huge celebration in Trinidad,

but that's why. And so Michael B. Jordan is changing the name following that criticism. He posted, I just want to say on behalf of myself and my partners, our intention was never to offend or hurt a culture we love and respect and hope to celebrate and shine a positive light on. Last few days has been a lot of listening,

a lot of learning and engaging in countless community conversations. We hear you, I hear you, and want to be clear that we are in the process of renaming. We sincerely apologize and look forward to introducing a brand we can all be proud of. Yeah, that's one of those ones that I would never have known would have upset people,

but I would have ran it by some Trinidadians before I used it. Anytime you're using something from a culture, you should ask people from that culture if this is going to be a problem. No, I agree. But like everybody else, and especially in New York City, people know Juve to be a big celebration and a party,

and that's what I would assume there was, too. I thought it was a party for Trinidadians, though. Well, Caribbean people, because it's usually Labor Day weekend, which is Caribbean. That's what I would have assumed. I went every year. I DJed there. Like, that's what you would assume.

That still don't mean you name your liquor after it. It would be like a celebration. That's what I assume they probably thought. But like you said, he should have ran it. He ran it by some people. It's not hard. I'm sorry, you go ahead. I was going to say they ended Juve in Brooklyn, though, previously.

Because y'all turned it to shoot-vay. Anytime you use something from a culture, just ask people from that culture. That's it. It's not hard. Right. I mean, yeah, especially if you're naming a whole brand after it and getting it trademarked, you know, that is offensive to people because you're like, this is something that

means a lot to our culture and you're trademarking it. So I understand that. And I appreciate the fact that he can say, okay, we're changing the name. That's right. You know, a similar thing happened with Kim Kardashian. Remember when she had this skim to first, it was called like kimono or something. And then people were upset at her for that.

So she changed the name. All right. Now, Rick Ross has introduced thighs to Wingstop because it's a chicken wing shortage. Did you know that? So he said, we back outside. It's time to take it to the next level. We know how Wingstop because it's a chicken wing shortage. Did you know that? So he said, we back outside. It's time to take it to the next level. We know how Wingstop perfected wings. Now just imagine that juiciest part of the meat and we boss it up, baby.

So ThighStop, which is Wingstop's new virtual brand, is their answer to that shortage that's happening. Rick Ross is absolutely one of my favorite corporate thugs, man. One of my favorite businessmen, entrepreneurs out there. Drop on the clues bombs for Ricky Rose, damn it. Okay? I i appreciate wingstop by the way every year they they actually sponsor angela ye day and they help me with that and they do an amazing job so shout out to wing

stop all right now nle choppa has started this anti-lean challenge and he in particular called out moneybag yo first here's what he said this right here is chlorophyll so for every pint of lean that people be sipping i got a new challenge i want y'all to drink a pint of chlorophyll too chlorophyll can help detox the body chlorophyll can help improve the skin chlorophyll can help aid off addictionlorophyll is one of the best natural things you can use. It comes from plant. It's what makes the plant green. I don't know about a pint every time.

That sounds like a lot. What do you call that, Moneybagg Yo? I guess for drinking lean and then telling him, if you're going to do that, at least detox your body with chlorophyll. Why is he doing that? Because Moneybagg Yo has a song out currently, the Waukesaukesha what's it called i think it's called waukesha about his love for me i still don't think you should call out one individual though because i mean the lean coach is way bigger than one one person and has been forever yeah i you know and

how would you react to that if you were money bag yo would you would you feel like, why is he mentioning my name? Yeah, don't single me out. But did he mention his name? I didn't mention his name. Yeah, well, he in particular did call out. He added him on social media. He said, I want to start by challenging at Moneybagg Yo.

I'll bring this to you personally, fam. So yes, he did do that. And I'm sure it's because of Waukesha. All right. Now Iggy Azalea has made an appearance on the Celebrity Dating Game. It's a reboot of the Celebrity Dating Game that recently premiered on ABC. And she was one of the first contestants. So listen to the three guys she had to choose from.

All right, well, that is your rumor report. All right, we got front page news next. What are we talking about? Yes, imagine at your job to

celebrate Juneteenth, they gave you some fried chicken and watermelon. What would you do? Depends how hungry I was. All right, man. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Got time today. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. All right. Last night, the Suns beat the Clippers 104-103. Tonight is game one.

Atlanta versus the Bucs is at 830. Now, NBA draft, I'll tell you the first three picks. Detroit Pistons got the first pick. Houston Rockets second pick. And the third pick, Cleveland Cavaliers. What else we got, Yee? All right. Well, employees at an Atlanta Ikea store upset.

There was a Juneteenth food menu. And that had fried chicken, watermelon, mac and cheese and collard greens. So a lot of people at work were upset. People actually wanted to quit and people were not coming back to work. According to one employee, they said you cannot say serving watermelon on Juneteenth is a soul food menu when you don't even know the history. They used to feed slaves watermelon during the slave time. So after the menu was circulating, 33 people called out from work. The store manager had to send an internal email shortly after apologizing. He said, I truly apologize if the menu came off as subjective. It was created with the best of intentions by a few of our coworkers who believe they were representing their culture and tradition with these foods of celebration. The manager, who said they didn't work with black employees to set up the menu, said she changed the menu later, adding collard greens, cornbread,

mashed potatoes, and meatloaf. Yeah, I've never looked up why fried chicken and watermelon is a negative black stereotype. Personally, I love fried chicken and watermelon. I mean, I know white people that love fried chicken and watermelon too, but since it is a negative black stereotype, it shouldn't be on a Juneteenth menu for a corporation. I could see how that would rub people the wrong way.

Yeah, I think back in slavery, they said chicken was what slaves were allowed to eat. They weren't allowed to eat a lot of other animals. And then there was a narrative after that, that black people were thieves of chicken or chicken stealers. And then it was really cheap back then. So a lot of black churches would have chicken dinners and they would sell things like chicken because it was cheap and traveled well. Hey man, chicken is good.

I don't know what the hell y'all talking about. Chicken is great. Chicken is great. And I mean, if you look at what slaves had to eat in a lot of circumstances, chicken would definitely be a great meal. All right, Carl Nassib's Raiders jersey is now flying off the shelves

after he has come out and announced that he is gay. According to Fanatics, they said that it's unclear the total of numbers that the jersey has sold so far Monday and Tuesday, but it's the number one jersey seller in America's most popular sport, football. So in the last 24

hours, you know, the support has been overwhelming. Suits my guy, Carl, man. Carl is a great human, man. He's a good individual. All right. Now, we were talking about this vaccine earlier. Three siblings in Louisiana have gotten their first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. It's part of the clinical trials for young children.

They are one, three and six. They each got their initial shot and they said they are super excited, according to the mom, that the entire family now has the opportunity and the chance of possibly being protected. One, three and six. Wow. Mm hmm. You know, people are concerned now about this Delta variant of the coronavirus, too. I saw Dr. Fauci on the news this morning talking about that variant and how the vaccine does protect you from that. But they're concerned that this could spread rapidly as well for people who are not vaccinated. And they said the one, three and six year old are excited to have the vaccine.

The mom said that she's excited. Oh, the mom is excited. OK, OK. I was like, I'm like, you think the kids don't even know what's going on? They don't want no needles. I will say that shot didn't really hurt at all.

You ain't no kid, Yee. You ever took the kids to get shots? That's a whole different... You could have a conversation about the shot. Can I just say something? When I was young, I actually used to like getting shots because I got a lollipop.

You know what? I don't like to call people weirdos, but Jesus Christ. You ain't never been to Disney World. They'll give you a lollipop. You get a lollipop. You never seen Lion King. Your parents never got you a lollipop? Your parents didn't do a lot for you.

That's why that lollipop excited you. Okay? A lollipop? My parents actually used to be like, Angela is no problem at all when it comes to going to the doctor and getting these things done. I was a good sport about it. I'll tell you one thing. You take a kid once, and then when they go back and you tell them, they crying before they even get out the car.

Okay? Shots. I can't even say doctor in my household without my kids crying. They just automatically assume it's no shot. I guess I was an unusual child. My parents would tell you, Angela did not mind getting shots. She was fine with it. Ha ha Davis when you need them. That is a good word.

You're unusual. You didn't go to Disney World. You didn't see the Lion King but you enjoyed shots. Yeah. I would say weirdo. I know you don't like to use the term weirdo but that fits. I like unusual. Unusual. I was brave. Alright.

Alright well that is your front page news. I was brave. All right. All right. Well, that is your front page news. And I just want to send a rest in peace to Milton Grand and Milton Grand's family. Milton Grand was killed yesterday. He was leaving the club, him and his man, on Father's Day. His man had to go to the bathroom, so he pulled over so his man could, you know, use the bathroom outside. Three guys came up to him and tried to rob him of his $3,000 chain. Bomb ass. Right?

Robbed him of his soda. So they got into an incident with his man. He tried to drive off, shot him while he was driving off in the head. He died and then went into his car while he was dead and took the jewelry off of him. What's the point of killing him? Like, if you're going to rob him, rob him. Like, what's the point of killing him? Now you be, I mean, what was the point?

There was no point. Like, why did you have to shoot him? For a $3,000 chain? $3,000 chain, man. And I know you didn't know how much the chain was worth, but is it really worth taking a whole life? For a piece of jewelry. Piece of jewelry.

So sad, man. So, again, rest in peace to Milton Grand. Condolences to his family. Have caught the parents not yet they're not they just the video's been circulating so the video's all over social media where you can actually see it hopefully somebody gets these guys um oh you got to tell on them you know I'm saying you see something say something if you know who those people are in your neighborhood man you got to tell on them you know why because if they did that to that young man they will absolutely do that to somebody you love father trust me bro he has twins man it's oh man i just watched his fiancee on tv so if they kill you for if they killed that man for a three thousand

Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just join us, we're talking about a story that happened in Ikea. What happened, Ayiee? Yes, customers, employees were upset because they actually did a Juneteenth celebration. And the menu featured fried chicken and watermelon. They said that was racially insensitive. All right. So we're asking, is that racially insensitive? 800-585-1051. Charlamagne, you like chicken and watermelon. Yeah. I mean, listen, I get it. You know, for reasons I have never explored or educated myself

on, it is a negative black stereotype when it comes to chicken and watermelon, but we're going to stop acting like everybody don't love chicken and watermelon, okay? Everybody, everybody loves chicken and watermelon. Majority of the people love chicken in all forms, whether it's fried, barbecued, grilled, sauteed, whatever. And a large amount of people love watermelon, especially in the summertime, okay?

Now, Ikea shouldn't have put it on the Juneteenth menu for black people, you know, because is a a negative stereotype towards black people so i can understand why people thought it was racially insensitive but you know other than that man y'all gonna stop acting like fried chicken and watermelon is not great now were you offended by it um was i offended i would think that you would know better than to have a menu featuring watermelon fried chicken to celebrate june 10th. That's what black people love. Give them some watermelon and fried chicken. So I get it.

What if a black person actually did the menu? Let's say a black person said, you know what? I'm going to do a menu and I'm going to put some of the stuff on the menu that I like. Well, the black person didn't. Was it? No. No, it was not black. That's what they was complaining about.

That's what employees were complaining about. I was thinking it was that Ikea put the menu up. Yeah, and that was Ikea's problem. That's actually why Ikea should get donkier the day-to-day, because once again, if you're going to do something culturally, bring people from the culture in the room to have the conversation.

It goes back to what we was talking about earlier with Michael B. Jordan and Juve. If you're going to name the drink Juve, talk to some Caribbean people before you do that. If you're going to put together a Juneteenth menu, talk to some black people before you do that.'s not a hard concept corporate america well yeah i agree with you saying but like in michael b jordan's case right i'm from new york i go to juve all the time i always thought juve was a celebration so i would have never have thought in a million years what it was you know i mean and i would have did it because you know

and guess what you'd have been right there on instagram apologizing when michael b jordan and saying i'm gonna change the name that's right i mean that's it but you wouldn't you And guess what? And guess what? You'd have been right there on Instagram apologizing when Michael B. Jordan. And saying I'm going to change the name. That's right. I mean, that's it. But you wouldn't have thought anything about it. Hello, who's this? Yo, this is Troy out of V8.

What's up, Breakfast Club? Troy, what's up, man? Ikea put for the Juneteenth menu chicken and watermelon. Were you offended by it, bro? Man, no. Absolutely not. I think we just too sensitive, man. like they said um it wasn't their intent you know and i'm not standing up for corporate america because we all know corporate america can you know do you dirty and we'll do you dirty uh so push entrepreneurship but

no i'm not offended man if my corporate america job gave me some fried chicken and watermelon and they want their intent to be offensive. If that watermelon is nice and red and spicy, I'm going to go in and eat it. If that chicken got them 11 herbs and spices, I'm going to go in and eat it. Goodbye, man. Goodbye, man.

He got a point. If the chicken is dry, you're going to be mad as hell. If the watermelon ain't ripe, you're going to be mad as hell. If the watermelon ain't ripe, you're going to be mad as hell. But, boy, if that chicken is fried right and that watermelon hitting, you're going to be happy. Keith. Scott. Yo.

Good morning. Were you offended when I can't put on the menu watermelon and fried chicken? God, sure, man. It's crazy, though. Yeah, I wasn't offended. If I was offended by everything, man, I would be exhausted. But I do say I love fried chicken. Where's Angela at?

She here? I'm right here. Yo, Angela, she knows, yo, Crown Chicken's got the best chicken in New York City. I love fried chicken. Okay. Now, I don't know if I would say that they have the best chicken in New York City. You know where they have really great fried chicken? At Peaches. You ever had Peaches?

Oh, yeah. I love Peaches. I love eating brunch there. Yeah, they got this honey hot chicken. That's amazing. That's why. Y'all, I don't know how we frontin'. Yo, listen, I was on a boat. I don't like watermelon, by the way. Yeah, I've heard. I think that's a New York thing.

Because I love me a nice ripe watermelon. I was actually in South Carolina a few weeks ago. And I was on a boat with a bunch of the white homies. And they had chicken tenders from Publix and watermelon. And them white people was tearing that chicken and watermelon up. And I wasn't even supposed to be on the boat. So that's what they had planned. So they had that already.

That's what they wanted. I do try to eat grilled chicken over fried chicken. Me too. I don't really eat fried chicken that often. Fried chicken is very, very occasional. For health purposes. But I love barbecue chicken. Grilled chicken is good.

Chicken is good. And watermelon is good too. I don't know what Grilled chicken is good. Chick-fil-A is good. Yeah, chicken is good. And watermelon is good, too. I don't know what to tell y'all. All right, 800-585-1051. The fried chicken and watermelon offend you if it's put on the menu? I said that all wrong. No, that's wrong. Because Ikea was wrong for putting it on the menu for June's week.

But did that offend you? We're asking people out there. Did it offend you? Call us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I know it now. I like it. I like it. I like it.

I like it. That kudos, Indy. What's that? Call me. Add your opinions to The Breakfast Club topic. Come on. 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're asking about fried chicken and watermelon. All right? Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're asking about fried chicken and watermelon. All right? Now, Ikea did a Juneteenth menu, and they put fried chicken and watermelon on the menu. And we're asking if it offends you. Why does fried chicken and watermelon just sound funny when a black person says it?

I don't know why. It just sounds funny. Hello, who's this? This is Lisa. Hey, Lisa. Did the menu of fried chicken and watermelon offend you? Not at all. Not at all. I feel like that's a part of our culture.

And usually during holidays, they eat stuff surrounding the holidays. And so why not celebrate it? It's us. Juneteenth is about us. Yeah, you know what I think the problem is? The fact that this store in Atlanta didn't consult with any black people before they did that and they just assumed

Was it Atlanta or Alabama? It was Atlanta. So they just assumed black people wanted fried chicken and watermelon. You know what I mean? Okay. Just because I want it don't assume I want it, okay? Ask me first. Hello, who's this? Hey, Ash. Ask me first. Hello, who's this?

This is Ash from Jersey. Hey, Ash, were you offended with Ikea's menu of the fried chicken and watermelon? You know, being black, everybody say that we like chicken, we like watermelon. We like grape soda. Personally, I don't like grape soda. I don't like grape soda either. I don't like no soda. I don't do no soda. I don't drink no soda. Yeah, I think grape soda either. But I don't like no soda. I don't do no soda. I did used to. I don't drink no soda.

Yeah, I think it's disgusting to me. Do you like fried chicken? Fried chicken? Everybody likes fried chicken. Yes. Even white people like fried chicken. Yes. Season it with what?

Pepper and salt. Do you like watermelon? Watermelon is fine. It's not really my favorite. I like strawberry. You know what I mean? It's always a stereotype with us. Every time our pants sagging down, but they don't say anything when it comes down to white boys doing the same thing.

Word. Drama. I do want to say sometimes, you know how you have like a prefix menu and then they ask you, do you want the salmon, the steak, or do you want the chicken? And I always be like, the chicken. Because chicken is good, guys. I like the salmon right there. I like salmon too. I don't eat seafood.

I think we ate more spaghetti in our house growing up than anything, but that ain't no negative stereotype. I had Velveeta mac and cheese, boy. Did you put sugar in your sauce? In my what? Did you put sugar in your spaghetti sauce? I don't know. My mama might have.

I didn't cook. Hello, who's this? Oh, Randy, man. Hey, Randy. How are you, Randy? Sugar. What's up, fella? How you feel about chicken and watermelon, Randy?

You know what? When they picked up the phone, I said, I'm black. I don't care. But it's kind of weird. I live in Wisconsin, and I got, like, these white friends, and they like to make comments about chicken. But I love chicken and freaking watermelon. What do you mean your white friends like to make comments about chicken?

Give us some context, bro. Give him the chicken. They'll say, man, you gonna go join some watermelon this summer? I mean, on this weekend? That might be a little racist. I will. Why would a white person just randomly be saying that to you?

You gonna go get some watermelon? Because I'm kind of a comedian. I like to talk about the not seasoning the chicken. Oh, so they're throwing the jokes back at you. They're going back and forth. Okay. Got you. I don't know, guys.

It's a little harder than not seasoning the chicken, though, man. I mean, to you? You don't know how them comments feel to white people? All right. Well, you know, before I go, though, I love all my white friends. They invite me to all their weddings, their campings up north. So I love them all, man. I love all my white friends.

They bring me around. And they let me come to their weddings. And they let me come to their kindergarten graduations. I love me my white people. If you want to make somebody uncomfortable, right? Yesterday I went to Restoration Hardware, right? And I was like, so what's the Juneteenth sale? Is this still Juneteenth sale?

The guy looked at me like, Juneteenth sale? I'm like, yeah, it was just a Juneteenth holiday. You have a holiday for everything. You have Fourth of July sales. You have late Memorial Day sales, President's Day sales. There's no Juneteenth sale? I got a percentage off.

I just want to let you know. What if he would have said... It's also no longer Juneteenth. What if he would have said, Popeye's is Juneteenth I mean what if he would have said Popeye's is doing sales all week if you want to go get a two piece wagon I heard Rick Ross

doing dives now I heard they got a sale a sale going on too what's the moral of the story man the moral of the story is chicken is good and watermelon is great I don't know what the hell

y'all talking about but I get it you know what I mean Ikea was just tone deaf once again if you're going to do anything culturally, corporate America, bring people

from the culture in the room so you don't make these mistakes. It's simple. I'm kind of hungry right now. You know what's so funny? I was trying to clean stuff out of my fridge and I dropped all this fried chicken on the floor this morning. Niggas. Niggas. I was like whoops I thought it was out

alright we got rumors on the way yes and Trick Daddy is doubling down on his comments about Beyonce even though the beehive was coming for him we'll tell you what he said alright we'll get into that next is the breakfast club come on listen up it's just in all the gossip gossip the rumor report with angela it's the rumor report the breakfast club all right well as you know trick daddy had some things to say when he was on clubhouse

he was talking about beyonce and saying that she couldn't sing beyonce because she see money beyonce ain't trying to give back the music and that Beyonce don't write music and Betty can sing her mother f***er. Beyonce can't sing.

Beyonce is to R&B where Jay-Z is to New York. That's why they together. He was just wrong. Yeah. Yeah, and people definitely came for him, but he is doubling down

on those comments and he doesn't care about the trolls. He has his own opinion. Here's what he said. Yeah, and people definitely came for him, but he is doubling down on those comments, and he doesn't care about the trolls. He has his own opinion. Here's what he said. That's my opinion. Beyonce, the number one performer I've ever seen besides the Michael Jackson, Chris Brown. Can she sing?

Yeah. She can't sing. Beyonce ain't Stephanie Mills. She ain't Patti Lavelle. She ain't Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey. She ain't Adele. But that's my opinion. I told my homeboys, oh, Chris Brown is on the level of Michael

Jackson. They like, you crazy. You disrespecting the king. Trick is absolutely right. That's his opinion, but he's wrong. And you know what he said yesterday about Jay-Z? And I was thinking about this yesterday when he was saying after Big died, that's when Jay became the guy. Big, if anybody knighted Jay, it was Big. Yeah.

Like, Big was saying Jay was his favorite rapper, you know, way back. Yeah. So, Big knighted Jay, if anybody. Jay is definitely nice. But like Chick-fil-A said, that's his opinion. That's his opinion. He can say whatever he wants. And I don't think he can sustain that long just because Biggie passed away.

Come on. We know that. It wouldn't last that long. We know that. All right, now, in addition to this, he was on with Mark Lamont Hill, and he had this to say about the Beehive. Trolling only works when it's effective. I'm not affected by it.

I don't care who don't agree with me. If I offended somebody, do I care? Yeah, probably. But I don't think that I said nothing to offend anybody. As far as the B-I, good support, man. Good s*** y'all doing. But I grew up with roaches. I love it.

I love it. Drop one of Clue's vibes for Trick Daddy. I love it. I grew up with roaches, damn it. What a beast. And you know, of course, the B-I was leaving all kinds of comments and ratings on Chick Daddy's restaurant. They were leaving very unfavorable reviews. One person said disgusting food.

Seriously, though, the service was subpar. Definitely do not recommend this restaurant. They can't even sing. Hey, by the way, I'd rather have roaches than bees, though, because roaches don't bite. I ain't never heard about no roach stinging nobody. Now, Chick Daddy also had this to say about how he ranks beyonce compared with other singers if stephanie mills and whitney houston are a 100 on the scale what's beyonce beyonce is an 85 tell me a beyonce song that have put you in a moment that made you as a man

close your eyes and want to cry or want to be with that girl and that's why i judge my things about that's why i judge that's how i judge music i think music is supposed to take you somewhere excuse me trick daddy have you never heard honey honey i can see the stars all the way from. Can't you see the glow on a window pane? I can feel the sun whenever you're with me. But I would give it to Beyonce, Halo 2. I think that's a good singing song. And when she redid the Bee Gees, Emotions, that was my joint too.

But everything is a pain. I used to close my eyes in this studio and sing Love on Top every goddamn Friday back in the day. Okay, yes, that song definitely makes me think about the woman I love. I love Love on Top. I thought you were singing to me. Baby, it's you. You're the one I love. You're the one I need.

You're the only one I see. Come on, baby, it's you. You're the one that gives your all. Haters. Master P wants to be the head coach for the Pelicans. And he talked to TMZ, and here's what he had to say. I think it's time they got to do something different, unique.

The NBA is entertainment. I think it's time for me to be the first hip-hop coach. I played in the NBA. I done coached a lot of great players. I coached DeMar DeRozan. We got great players on the team But they need somebody to understand them So if they bring me in as a head coach or assistant coach

I think I can change the game You think if you were at least an assistant coach Possibly head coach Oh yeah, we'll win You think you'd keep Zion happy? We'll win and Zion will be happy And even if I have to work my way Start as assistant coach

I know, you know, you gotta trust the process Why not? Now mind you, it's easy for me to say that Because I've never been an assistant coach, I know, you know, you got to trust the process. Why not? Now, mind you, it's easy for me to say that because I've never been an NBA coach. But why not? Master P, goddammit, motivational speaker. He knows how to bring people together. He knows basketball. What other qualifications do you need?

He's tall. Yo, shut up, man. What else do you need? What else do you need? Yeah, I mean, and look at how well he's done with his own kids. Yes. I feel like it could make sense. Steve Nash hosts the Brooklyn Nets. I mean, he coaches the Brooklyn Nets.

He never had no coaching experience anywhere. Not that I know of. He was a great player, though. So was Master P. Not on the level of Nash. Don't disrespect Percy Miller, bro. Steve Nash is a Hall of Famer. Alright, next time Percy Miller come up here, you say that to his face. That he's not a Hall of Famer. He is a Hall of Famer. I hope he knows he's not a Hall of Famer He's a national Hall of Famer. All right. Next time Percy Miller come up here, you say that to his face. That he's not a Hall of Famer.

That he's not a Hall of Famer. He's a Hall of Famer. I hope he knows he's not a Hall of Famer. He is a Hall of Famer. Not a basketball. Hey, Hall of Famer's a Hall of Fame guy. Shut up, man. Let's also send out some love to Fantasia.

She has brought her baby girl home. Her daughter was in the hospital for nearly one month. And so it's good news that she was finally able to bring her newborn daughter home from the hospital. The baby had been in the neonatal intensive care unit since May 23rd. And she posted on Instagram a picture of her baby girl dressed in a white romper

with little cute booties on and she put a welcome home to Zaya Linden-Taylor. So congratulations to her and we're very happy to hear that. Shout out to Fantasia. Absolutely. Blue to Fantasia. Our whole family. Send the healing energy to her. And we're very happy to hear that. Shout out to Fantasia. Blue to Fantasia. Our whole family. Send a healing energy to everybody. And that is your rumor report.

All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Charlamagne, who you giving that donkey to? You know, I thoroughly enjoyed the fried chicken and watermelon conversation last hour. So I think we should continue that conversation for after the hour because it is a lesson for corporate America to learn. But also it's a lesson that we can learn about fried chicken and watermelon. We'll discuss. All right, we'll get into that next.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's go. It's time to wake up. Yeah. It's The Breakfast Club. It's going down. Hey, it's Angela Yee.

By using brands like Dove and Hellman's, you're supporting Unilever and the everyday good they do, like donating more than $25 million worth of everyday products and services to groups like Feeding America this year. Visit UnileverDoesGood.com to support communities impacted by the pandemic. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys of the Day, ask Charlamagne. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed question.

So like a donkey. Keyhole. Donkey of the Day. The record club, bitches. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but Donkey of the Day is a new one. Wow. Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, June 23rd goes to management at an Atlanta Ikea store. Now, I know folks believe that social media tends to

overreact nowadays to a lot of things. I don't even call it an overreaction because we walk around with tools that encourage us to react, period, okay? That encourage us to have an opinion on things. We have our smartphones, we have our laptops, and we have platforms, whether it's Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, whatever it is, wherever it is, we have these sites where the sole commodity on these platforms is us, our voices. So I often wonder how much do people really, truly care about the things they act like they care about on social media? Or is it just content? Do they act like they care because they feel they are supposed to? Or they simply have to because they have the platforms to do it?

I'll give you a clear example. Remember, I think it was David Allen Greer. David Allen Greer, Keenan Ivory Wayans, Arsenio Hall. One of them said here on The Breakfast Club, if you wanted to complain about a TV show back in the day, or if you wanted to complain about anything, you had to write a letter. You had to mail it, fax it. It took a lot more effort to complain about something, to be outraged about something. You had to put actual time, effort, and energy into something to complain about it. Nowadays, you just whip out your phone. So it's hard to tell if people really are upset or they just need content for the day for whatever platform they are on. Not to mention just the group think that happens in these situations. People see a large amount of people on the timeline talking about something, mad about something, outraged about something.

And they just jump in because that's what everybody else is talking about. Monkey see monkey do some folks just really wake up and wait for social media to tell them what they care about, to tell them what to think. I think it was yesterday. Yesterday was one of those days. Maybe it was the day before yesterday, but people were upset because managers at an Atlanta Ikea store decided to honor black Americans by doing something that black employees at the store thought was racially insensitive. If you missed what we discussed last hour, then let's go to WGCL CBS 46 for the report, please.

Outrage at IKEA workers calling out sick and threatening to walk off the job. It's all because of a racially insensitive menu put together to celebrate Juneteenth. The special menu featured foods like fried chicken and watermelon, a pairing historically used as a racist depiction of what African Americans eat. They say the menu was going to be served to customers and employees as a way to quote honor and preserve black Americans in light of the Juneteenth holiday. Employees outraged say 33 people called out of work, sparking this internal email response from the store manager on Saturday. She said that I truly apologize.

The menu came off as subjective. But employees say the decision behind the creation of the menu should have included voices of color first. The store manager told employees and CBS 46 that the menu changed after the issue. We asked the store manager to send us the new menu. The revised menu included meatloaf, mashed potatoes, collard greens, and cornbread. Now the store manager re-emphasized that they deeply apologize and they realize they got the menu wrong. Now listen guys, full disclosure, I love chicken and I love watermelon. I don't do fried chicken as much as I used to just because

I don't do a lot of fried foods at all, but we're going to stop acting like the most common type of poultry in the world. Chicken is not tasty. Okay. Everybody loves chicken. I learned a lesson a few weeks ago when I went out on a, on the boat with a few of the Caucasian homies. And I'm listening to my guy place the food order for the boat. And he said he wanted chicken tenders from Publix, watermelon and hummus from Trader Joe's. We got on that boat and those white people was tanning chicken tenders and

watermelon bites up. And I told you, I don't need fried foods like that, but the way they was devouring this fried chicken, even though all my blackness said, don't you eat no damn fried chicken in front of these white people, I ate one. And let me be the first to tell you that those fried chicken tenders from Publix was so damn good, I ate three, maybe four.

The moral of the story is fried chicken and watermelon is for everybody. Okay, now, I have never looked into either of these stereotypes. You know, this morning was the first time I went to look. OK, I never have looked to see what the stereotype is around fried chicken and watermelon. OK, this is what they said about watermelon. This is from an article written in 2014 for The Atlantic by William Black. I haven't read the whole article, but William Black says the stereotype that African-Americans are excessively fond of watermelon emerged for a specific historical reason and served a specific political purpose. The trope came in full force when slaves won their emancipation during the Civil War. Free black people grew, ate and sold watermelons and in doing so made the fruit a symbol of their freedom. Sovereign whites threatened by blacks, newfound freedom responded by making the

fruit a symbol of black people's perceived uncleanliness, laziness, childishness, and unwanted public presence. Hmm. Interesting. I looked up chicken, right? Claire Smith, a professor at the university of Missouri who studies race and folklore said chickens had long been a part of sovereign diets, but they had a particular utility for slaves. They were cheap, easy to feed, and a good source of meat. But, Smith says, came Birth of a Nation, a silent movie from 1915

that showed the founding of the Ku Klux Klan. One scene in the movie features a group of actors portraying shiftless black elected officials acting rowdy and crudely in a legislative hall. The message to the audience, these are the dangers of letting blacks vote. Sound familiar. Some of the legislators are shown drinking.

Others had their feet kicked up on their desk. And one of them was very ostentatiously eating fried chicken. That image says Claire Smith's really solidified the way white people thought of black people and fried chicken. Smith said that like watermelon, that other food has been a mainstay in racist depictions of blacks. Chicken was also a good vehicle for racism because of the way people eat it. It's a food you eat with your hands and therefore it's dirty.

Table manners are a way of determining who is worthy of respect or not. In quote. Interesting. Very interesting. So basically the problem isn't fried chicken and watermelon. The problem is mayonnaise. Too much goddamn mayonnaise. OK, white people, not all white people. We draw a line in the sand between racist white people and humans who happen to be white.

But racist white people back in the day trying to steal our joy made the things that we loved, the things that made us money, the things that nourished us radioactive. Now, let's be clear. IKEA is getting donkier today. Why? Because I'm consistent when it comes to culturally clueless people in corporate America having blind spots like this. According to this article in Complex, employees said the manager at IKEA didn't work with black employees to set up this menu.

That's the problem. Full stop. That's why this happened. It's really the most simplest concept to grasp. Corporate America, anytime you are doing something cultural, bring in people from said culture. It's really the most simplest concept to grasp. Corporate America, anytime you're doing something cultural, bring in people from said culture. It's not rocket science. I hate when I'm in meetings and people say things like, and Angela and any of y'all have been there, people say things like, what are 20-year-olds into? Nigga, I don't know. I'm 42. Bring some 20-year-olds in here. Got a bunch of men at the table asking, what do women think about such and

such? I'm like, I don't know. Go get some women. Same thing we talked about earlier with Michael B. Jordan and Juve. If he would have simply consulted with some people from the Trinidadian culture, he wouldn't have made that mistake. Is fried chicken and watermelon offensive? Not to me. Is it racially insensitive on a Juneteenth menu presented by IKEA? Yeah, I see the point the employees are making. Timing is everything. Context is everything. And this was just poor timing and context. Okay? Read the room, Ikea in Atlanta. Read the room. Please give the

managers in Ikea the sweet sound of the Hamilton's please. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the Of the day You are the doggy Of the day

Yee-haw Now, a great black philosopher by the name of David Kyrie Webber Chappelle Chappelle once had this to say about people who have put a negative stereotype on fried chicken and watermelon.

It's because I eat chicken and watermelon. They think that that's something wrong with me. Let me tell you something. If you don't like chicken or watermelon, something's wrong with you, mother****. There's something wrong with you. I'm sick of hearing about how bad it is. It's great. I'm waiting for chicken to approach me to do a commercial.

I'll do it for free, chicken. Okay. David Kari Weber, Chappelle. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Up next, Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice

10-11 months And it's been nothing But hell I'm not even gonna lie to you I don't know if I'm allowed To say that Yeah that's fine So we were at the

We went to the hospital She had some issues Going on with her And I asked her previously If she ever slept With anybody Like while we were together And she told me No no no, no, all these times.

So we go to the hospital, and she has something going on with her area or whatever. The doctor comes, the doctor leaves and says, all right, we're going to take this test. I asked her, is there anything you want to tell me before this test comes back? Like, did anything happen? And now she decides to say, okay, well, yeah, I did. When you went to Out banks like you left went back up north i did sleep with my ex-boyfriend i wanted to tell you but i knew you were getting mad and i was like you slept with him unprotected she said yes i'm like okay the test came back

negative thank god but i'm like what else are you lying to me about like one of my boys caught her out at the beach bars uh like all up on her ex-boyfriend i'm like bro like what is this like i'm over here trying to be loyal you're telling me you're all for me i didn't even want a relationship to begin with but i wanted to give love a try because you know i mean i didn't want to be out here just like going around like i was like all right cool you know what i'm gonna give it a try instead of just like being with this girl and just leave her like let me give it a try so she claimed me and then she I guess she kind of like retracted

on what it was. Like, you know what I mean? I don't know if the vibe just wasn't there or what, but it's been nothing but hell. But she'll always try to come back and say, oh, I love you

and act crazy and do all this crazy stuff. But when it's time to... This sounds awful, Rowie. I just want to say this sounds awful and you said she always wants to keep coming back

and you keep taking her back. Yeah, that's the problem. back and you keep taking her back. Yeah, that's the problem. Why do you keep taking her back? I don't, I couldn't even tell you why. Like, I don't, I've never like loved somebody. And I guess maybe I'm just like, when I love somebody, I love hard. And I don't, I don't know what it is. But like, I always had like skepticism about her cheating.

But I never thought that she had it in her. But I don't, I can't even say I really know her. You know, like it's been nothing but trouble. You keep on saying this whole thing has been nothing but hell. It's been nothing but trouble. Yeah. It doesn't sound like this is a relationship you need to be in. You need to be with somebody that actually deserves

the loyalty and love that you have to give, not somebody that's taking advantage of you. Right, exactly. And I've told her she had to move out. Like, she's gone. All her stuff is gone. that actually deserves the loyalty and love that you have to give, not somebody that's taking advantage of you. Right. Exactly. And I've noticed she had to move out. Like, she's gone. All her stuff is gone.

And I'm, you know what I mean? I'm just, I'm just doing me. But. Right. But it feels like your feelings, it feels like your feelings are still hurt and you're not over it,

which is fine. Of course. You know? But that doesn't mean you need to keep taking her back. You don't owe her that. Right. Okay?

So what I want to say is, yes, you owe it to yourself not to. You already know this is not headed in a positive direction. She's not good for you. Right. And so I want to say those first steps are for you to completely cut off contact with her. You have no reason to have to speak to this woman. Y'all don't have no kids together. Does she owe you money?

Actually, yeah, she does. Oh, my God, Rowie. How much? Like $600. It ain't nothing. Like $600 you money? Actually, yeah, she does. Oh my God, Rowie. How much? Like $600. It ain't nothing. Like $600. Okay. Well, good. She could keep that. Chalk that up as a loss. It's over. Cut her off. Don't speak to her no more. Move on.

And it's okay for you to be not feeling like yourself. It's okay for you to be a little heartbroken for a minute. But don't drag this out for yourself any longer. You deserve better and you are blocking your real blessings. Right. I'm 24. I got so much time. It's just like I just got to get over this home.

Yeah, plus she ain't never paying you back that money. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can talk that. It's cool. Talk it up as a loss, but look, you'll find somebody who deserves you. This is a lesson learned,

but don't let this actually make you not be the great person that you are just because somebody wasn't great to you. Don't take it out on the next woman. Right. For sure. All right, Rowe. It felt like you just needed to get that off your chest because I think you know what you need to do.

I really did. I really did. Thank you. You're welcome, hon. All right. Bye-bye. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051.

We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Corita. Hey, Corita, what's your question for you? Good morning, Miss E. Good morning, Corita. So I have a question about divorce.

Mm-hmm. So basically a year ago, while I got married at 22, my husband's family hated me. And one day, like a couple years before our marriage he said he was he visited his mom that said he was going to walk the dog and never came back whoa and i said you said how long ago was this a year ago yeah a little over a year i sat in the house i paid the bills for a couple months like thinking obviously he's gonna come back and he just never came back but i kind of believe in the whole marriage concept you know for better for better or for worse, that whole thing.

But it's been a year and he doesn't even talk to me. Should I just go ahead and file for divorce? He's never communicated what happened? Like, why did he walk out and never come back? Yeah, he just left. He never came back. He barely speaks to me. Yes, girl.

I mean, it feels like you're not married, and I'm sure at some point you want to move on with your life, right? Yeah, I mean, I have a couple people who are interested at this point, but I would love to salvage it if I could. I mean, I think that I understand that for better or for worse,

and we all want marriage to be permanent, but we also can't predict the future, and this man has abandoned you. Right. With no explanation. Yeah, it's pretty bad. So do you even know where you can serve him the divorce papers? I know where he works.

Okay. Well, I recommend that you speak to an attorney and a lawyer and make sure that you have everything lined up so that you know what your options are and you can go about this in the right way because you don't know. You don't want him to do it first. Okay.

All right. You have no idea where his head is at. He's not communicating with you and you got to take care of you first. Clearly, he's not concerned. Not at all. Not at all. You're right, Angela. Okay.

Do you guys have kids? No, we don't have any kids. Luckily, I guess. Well, thank God. Okay. Take control of your life, girl. Do not let him control you like this. no we don't have any kids luckily I guess well thank God okay take control of your life girl do not let him control you like this you are not a victim

for whatever his moods are whatever it is that he decides to do you gotta handle your business so that means right now consult with a lawyer find out the best way to go about this so that you come out on top and then handle your business

I will do that I will thank you I appreciate it. No problem. Love you guys. Bye. Bye-bye now.

now. Alright, we'll get into it next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. On The Breakfast Club.

So listen up. Well, things got very testy during a podcast that Kevin McCall was on, the Craig Smith's podcast. He got into an argument with one of the hosts, Brandon, and this is about Kevin McCall putting his hands on a woman. Here's what he said. I did hit her because she hit me. You feel what I'm saying, which is not cool.

I understand. And I've even beat up is over this so if you want to fade over this if you feel like i shouldn't hit women catch a fade outside bro right so don't don't sit here right here and act like you think i'm some weird ass bro i don't shut the up my so if you got a problem if you think i hit women like i told evil brothers catch a fade my all right let's chill out let's chill out careful oh that that energy and that interview changed quickly yeah that escalated and what's wrong with them telling him not to hit a woman i'm confused like why is that a bad thing to say and why was he so upset over it he's the one that said he did put his hands on her well we always say if you interview somebody and you say something that they might not like or they might not agree, you just never know what their response

is. And he responded with violence. Yeah, I got to hear the context. I haven't heard. I just heard that snippet. I don't know, but... They did take a break from filming and then he did return later and they did discuss off camera the whole ordeal. Oh, so they didn't discuss that during the

podcast? No, they didn't discuss that whole altercation during the podcast. What's the name of the podcast? By the way, what podcast was it? I just said it was the Craig Smith's podcast. The Craig Smith, okay. Alright, now Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade are launching their skincare line for kids of color. It's called

Proudly. It features diaper products and it'll be released direct to consumer this year and will then expand next year. So they said in a joint statement, as we continue to work on new endeavors together, our goal is to always center our work around being the change we want to see while championing diversity, equity, and inclusion.

So they do have a range of products that caters to the unique skincare needs of children of color that are so often overlooked in the mass market. All right, so you guys can look for that. Also, Culture Creators is going to be honoring Swiss Beats and D-Nice at the fifth annual Innovators and Leaders Awards brunch in partnership with YouTube. So that should be a fun thing.

That's all sponsored by Ciroc and Procter & Gamble, CoinCloud, Lexus and Ellis ILT Company. Drop on the clues box for Culture Creators. Who else they honoring this year? I like Culture Creators. It's a great honoring this year? I like Culture Creators. It's a great event. Yes, I actually got honored by them just recently, too, along with a lot of women that I also admire so much. But, you know, so that should be good.

My girl, Rikki Hughes, is being honored this year as well. Rikki, I saw Carrie Champion, too. Carrie Champion being honored by Culture Creators. Mm-hmm. Yeah, they did this whole Empower Her campaign. It's a dope brunch. I got honored by them a few years ago as well. Salute to

everybody over at Culture Creators. And my girl Joy. Okay, T-Pain is responding to all of the controversy around the auto-tune. Remember he talked about what Usher said to him while he was on the This Is Pop Netflix series. Here's what he said, just to flashback to that.

He was like, man, I want to tell you something, man. He sounded real concerned. He was like, man, you kind of f***ed up music. I didn't understand. Usher was my friend. He was like, nah, man, you really f***ed up music for real singers. Literally at that point, I couldn't listen. Is he right? Did I f***ed up music for real singers literally at that point I couldn't listen is he right did I f*** this did I f*** up music and I don't even think I realized this for a long time that's the very moment that started like a four-year depression for me all right well a lot

of people were rallying around T-Pain wondering why Usher would say something like that and T-Pain took to social media to let people know I still love and respect Usher telling that story was in no way meant to disrespect that man people talk ish about me 24-7 but when it comes from someone you truly respect it hits very different I never said F-ush it was a drop in the ocean of ish I was already

going through and for the people going back 48 weeks to dig up a tweet please find something to do that was before Shorty said anything and the song never came out after I got the information i needed leave me out of the stand convo things hey i don't know you know what's crazy is people slandered usher but social media don't act like y'all didn't treat t-pain the same way for a while okay everybody's you know appreciating t-pain now and showing t-pain love, but they were on that same wave at one point. Everybody was.

You know what I mean? Like, don't act like that. Act like Usher was the only one. And on ESPN's first take, Stephen A. Smith talked about a text that he got during the show that focused on Ben Simmons' work ethic since he's been with the 76ers, and he said the source is someone very, very close to the situation in Philly. Here's what he said. I just received a source is someone very, very close to the situation in Philly. Here's what he said.

I just received a text from somebody very, very close to the situation in Philadelphia about Ben Simmons. This is a quote. This is not me. This is them. Quote, he doesn't work, he doesn't listen, and everyone around him is family, and he's constantly babied. Ben Simmons is either going to be depressed for the next four years,

or he's going to work on his game over the summer and come back and be an all-star next season. There's really no in-between. When you're in the position that Ben Simmons is right now, there's really no in-between. You're either going to listen to all the criticism, internalize it, and go into a shell somewhere, or you're going to listen to all the criticism don't internalize it go out there work on your game and bust everybody ass and prove people wrong next year one of the two all right corday has announced his new record label is
