Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Listen to Escape from Zakistan.

That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you

The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast
Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into
their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.
Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.
Alicia Keys, like you've never
heard her before. Listen to

iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts. It's on your radio right now. Do you know how to pop that coochie for a girl? There you go. It's the world's most dangerous morning show.
Got the cameras a mother******.
What kind of show is this?
Let's all listen to this show.
The Breakfast Club.
With DJ Envy.
The captain of this b****.
With Angela Yee.
The only one who can keep these guys in check.
With Charlamagne Tha God.
I'm a lovable a**hole.
And this is The Breakfast Club, b****es.
This is The Breakfast Club, bitches.
Can somebody call Yee?
Good morning, USA.
Well, hey, fam.
Good morning.
Good morning, Angela Yee.
How you feeling?
I'm great.
It's Thursday!
I see you just paid me the money you owe me finally, fam. I definitely paid you before
we got on there. I said, let me pay Angelique
before she says I owe money again. I've been asking Envy to pay me
this money for weeks now.
Well, a week.
No, it's been more than that. I paid you your
money back. Finally. Did I pay you the full thing?
I wasn't sure. There's a little interest missing.
See, I wasn't sure, but. I'm just
relieved, man. You got your money.
Now I can finally take care of some things.
Get out of here. People just take for granted
and think that, oh. What?
Now, why did you do this, Envy?
What'd I do? So, you know on
PayPal how you can just send money, family, and friends?
I did send family and friends. What, services?
Yeah, why? No, you didn't
because they charge a service fee.
I don't like when people do that.
I didn't do it on purpose.
Why?
Now they done took $14 out my money for your little service fee.
Oh, well, it was a service.
Why would you do that?
You were my assistant.
You purchased something from me.
You were my assistant, so.
I lent you some money, and you took money out of the money I lent you for a service fee?
I didn't do that on purpose and I'm mad that...
Send it back.
Let me see if I can reverse that.
No, I'm not sending it back because I'm scared I'm not going to get it back.
I'll just take it.
My goodness.
All right.
Just give me the $14, man.
All right.
I don't know.
Why would you do that?
That is so silly.
I paid for your breakfast this morning.
I didn't do it on purpose.
I didn't see it.
Well, good morning to you, Yee.
Yeah, it was.
Well, today... Last night, the weather was disgusting in the tri-state area on the East Coast.
I mean, the weather was horrible.
Rain, trees falling, winds were like 100 miles an hour.
I lost power for a couple of hours last night.
I know it wasn't bad for you in Brooklyn, was it?
Yeah, no, I was like, where do you live?
No, I live out in Jersey.
It wasn't bad at all.
It was a little bit of rain, but.
Yeah, it was a little rain.
I love when it rains like this because you get to see if there's a problem with your house or anything because that's when you know.
And if there is, then you don't love it.
Yeah, but at least you figure it out.
You get to definitely figure that out.
Well, today on the show, Centoya Brown will be joining us.
Yes, free Centoya.
She has a book that's coming out.
Now, for somebody who does not know who Centoya Brown is and maybe heard the name, you want to explain briefly who she is, Yee?
She went to jail.
She was sentenced to life in prison,
ended up doing 15 years and got clemency,
and that was because she shot and killed a man
who had picked her up
when she was forced into prostitution as a 16-year-old.
Right.
And she got charged as an adult,
charged with murder,
and was sent to prison, like I said, for life.
And a lot of people were fighting for her to be free because she talks about her whole life,
what brought her to that point where that happened.
And she said she did it in self-defense.
She felt like he was going to harm her or kill her.
Correct.
So we'll be kicking with her.
We'll talk to her about her story and find out all about her and what she's doing now that she's out.
All right?
What up, Charlamagne?
Peace to the planet.
What's happening?
All right.
Well, let's get the show cracking.
Front page news, what are we talking about?
We are going to talk about, since you discussed the weather,
let's discuss this storm that they say is intensifying into a bomb cyclone.
Okay.
All right.
We'll get into that.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Yo! Getting some front page news.
Now, in sports, the Yankees game
yesterday was rained out,
so they play tonight at 8pm.
Houston leads the series 2-1.
And in NFL football, the Broncos
take on the Kansas City Chiefs.
What else you got, Yee? Well, first of all,
rest in peace to Democratic Congressman
Elijah Cummings.
He was 68 years old, and he passed this morning.
At age 68, according to his office, he died of complications concerning longstanding health challenges.
And he did serve as the chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee.
He also represented Maryland's 7th congressional district since 1996.
68 is very young, by the way.
It is very young.
When you look at the bigger scheme of things,
and you look at a lot of people like the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan
and Cicely Tyson, like these people have been around for a very long time.
68 is very young.
So rest in peace to Elijah Cummings.
Yes.
All right.
Now let's talk about this Northeast storm that they say is intensifying
into a bomb cyclone.
So that's taking place.
They said power is being knocked out in the northeast.
More than 320,000 customers in multiple states without power this morning.
They're saying if you're traveling, if you have to go anywhere near New England,
just look for flight delays and cancellations Thursday and Friday.
And they also said if you are traveling to LaGuardia, those flights are delayed.
So again, just check if you're flying.
There's delays at Newark International Airport as well.
All right.
Now, let's discuss a woman who has to go to jail because she lied about her son's ethnicity
on college applications.
She got three weeks in jail.
Marjorie Clapper.
What did she say?
She's 51 years old.
She said her son was Hispanic and African American
and that was to increase his chances
of getting into a top college.
So she got sentenced to three weeks and she also
worked with William Rick Singer,
the Crooked College Prep Advisor.
She paid $15,000
to up her son's
ACT exam score in May.
So she's part of that whole nationwide scandal.
And she also said that her son
was a first-generation student on
applications, even though she and her
husband both graduated from college. So a lot
of different things going on here.
What was her son?
You said, what was he? What is he? White.
Oh, okay.
They said that she pursued that scheme
because her son is also learning disabled.
So she wanted him to feel like a, quote, regular student.
According to her lawyers, they said Mrs. Clapper's motives were maternal, but her execution misguided and illegal.
So, yes, as you guys know, that's been an ongoing thing.
OK, and a man who pleaded guilty to cocaine possession in Oklahoma has withdrew his plea and his case got dismissed because that quote unquote cocaine was really only powdered milk.
I don't even understand why would he plead guilty to cocaine possession if it wasn't cocaine?
He was sentenced to 15 years in prison just last week after he pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. But then they said what happened was he was riding his bike
and an officer tried to stop him because he didn't have any rear lights.
That's when he started pedaling faster, then jumped off his bike and ran.
They found the white powder in his backpack and arrested him.
But according to testing results, it really was just powdered milk.
So he never said it was powdered milk? He said it was cocaine?
He pleaded guilty.
How do you plead guilty?
What?
The possession of cocaine if it's not cocaine.
That's what I'm saying.
I don't even understand how that happened.
Because they do test the substance.
Once they test the substance and they find out that it's not cocaine,
they can't even charge him with cocaine.
So how can they charge him with something that he doesn't have?
Well, yeah, once they got the lab reports back,
that's when they realized that it wasn't cocaine.
So they dropped the charges.
That's when he withdrew his plea.
And yes, he's free now. Was he homeless?
Is he mentally ill?
He said that the powdered milk
came from a food pantry, so
I don't know what he was thinking.
I don't know what they told him. Sometimes in those situations
you can be so afraid, you can be so shook,
you know, you think that you're in trouble, they're telling you
that you're in trouble, that you might just say anything.
Yes, that's cocaine. You want to go home?
Yes, that's mine or whatever, you know.
Might have just been in a state of shock.
That's my powdered milk.
All right.
All right, well, that's your front page news.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now.
Maybe you had a bad night, bad morning.
You know, maybe the storm blew some trees over.
Maybe somebody owes you money and then sent it to you on PayPal
and had money taken out of the money
they were supposed to give you
so it's not the full amount.
Maybe.

Oh, you a New York Jets fan?
I'm a big Jets fan, baby.
Big Jets fan.
I'm going to tell you something.
I'm going to tell you something.
I would rather take one L to the Jets than be a goddamn Jets fan.
Don't let him talk to you like that.
You got to deal with that, bro.
You 1-4.
It's all right.
No, it's not.
You got our quarterback back,
and you know the vibes, y'all the man.
You know the vibes.
Yeah, the vibes is y'all will be 1-5 after this week.
Don't talk to me like that.
Talk to me nice, man.
Talk to me nice.
Yes, talk to him nice.
All righty, man.
Talk to me nice.
Hello, who's this?
This is Brian from Elizabeth, New Jersey, man.
Brian, what's up?
Get off your chest.
Yo, it's a female in Raleigh, New Jersey, going around,
sleeping with people and not letting no one know that she has herpes, man.
You got it from her?
I don't have it, nah.
I don't have it.
How do you know?
People need to know.
Excuse me?
How do you know?
How do I know?
I have it in my text, but I was sleeping with it.
You were sleeping with it?
Yeah, I was sleeping with it.
You got herpes? She didn't tell me.
She just said you don't have herpes, though.
So how'd you find out? It's just herpes, bro.
She told me.
Oh, she did tell you. So she is telling people.
Yeah, she told me.
She told me after she slept with me.
Oh, it was too late. Maybe she just found out.
Nah, she been found out.
You'll see it on my text, man.
It's on my text and everything.
She been doing it.
Bro, it's just...
She's trying to make it sound like it's because she's trying to protect herself.
That's all it is.
It's just herpes.
I mean, it's not curable, but it's not life-threatening, man.
When did you go to the doctor?
Did you go to the doctor and check yourself out, bro?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got checked out and everything, man, but I don't have it.
You know what I'm saying?
But I got to go back to get tested again.
Oh, yeah, listen.
And people do need to tell you
if they have an STI.
Get you some antiviral medications,
you know what I'm saying?
She don't even take her medication.
That's the problem.
What?
She don't even take her medication or nothing.
How you know?
You know what I'm saying?
She told you she don't take her medicine?
I never see her take her medicine. Well, I don't ever take a medication or nothing. How you know? You know what I'm saying? She told you she don't take a medicine? I never see her take a medicine.
Well, I don't know if you have to see her take it.
You don't live with her, bro.
But you can prevent or shorten your outbreaks, you know what I'm saying?
You sure you went to the doctor?
Get a little holistic diet.
Yeah, but in Jersey, it's against the law.
If you don't tell the person...
Yeah, they definitely have to tell you.
Let me ask you this.
Did you stop sleeping with her after you found out?
Yeah, I stopped sleeping with her and everything.
I don't believe you.
And not just that.
I went and made a complaint about it.
You know what I'm saying?
Okay.
No, he takes his health very seriously, as you should.
Yeah, but it's her word against mine is what they're trying to say.
Who is they?
The police.
The police, okay.
Oh, you snitching?
I want to salute to all our listeners out there with herpes.
You know what I'm saying?
Thank you, brother.
More than half of our listeners have herpes.
That's a fact.
So drop one of Clues bombs for everybody out there with herpes.
But you do have to tell somebody before you sleep with them.
And that's what he should do.
If he found out she has herpes and she is doing this, like she said, yeah, I would report it too.
That's right.
Go report it to a cop who probably got it his damn self, okay?
One in two police officers got it
because one in two people got it, okay?
800-585-1051.
Get it off your chest.
It's The Breakfast Club.

Feeling tired?
Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.

I am the Queen of Laudonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
Why can't I trade my own country?
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with black powder, you know, with explosive warheads.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.

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.

Get it off your chest.
Today's my birthday.
And just to let you guys know.
Nobody said happy birthday.
You didn't sound confident with that, man.
Happy birthday.
Say it more confident.
Yo, so today's my birthday.
Today's my birthday.
All right, happy birthday, bro.
Thank you.
I just watched the Democratic debate or whatever.
Yep.
And I'm not convinced by anybody.
I can see why you feel that way.
I think Trump is getting my vote, to be honest.
Whoa.
I'm not going to vote for him.
So you're convinced by Trump?
I'm not saying that I'm really convinced by Trump.
I'm just more not convinced by any of those Democrats.
So you think they all are worse than Trump?
Tell me what you like about Donald Trump? Tell me what you like about Donald Trump.
Tell me what you like about him.
He doesn't, ooh, I was about to say he doesn't lie.
What?
That's not really true.
Okay.
Let me say that he doesn't really sugarcoat things
or put things a little bit nicer than what these...
What's that got to do with policies, though?
You got to tell me some policies.
Like, what do you like about Donald Trump?
You got to give me a reason why you would vote for Donald Trump.
I'm taking back my happy birthday to you, too.
He just said he doesn't sugarcoat his lies.
Is there a particular policy you like?
Is there some legislation he's passed that you like?
I mean, I don't mind a person voting
for their interests. I just need to know what it is.
I think the whole prison reform
thing he's trying to do
is pretty good.
His
stance on
foreign policy is a little shaky,
but it's
a lot better
than... I don't think you thought this through, brother. but it's a lot better than I've seen.
I don't think you've thought this through, brother.
Yeah, I don't.
I understand what you're saying on the prison reform thing,
but I don't think you've thought this through all the way.
I kind of did.
Kind of?
Kind of early in the morning.
I literally just woke up right now.
Enjoy your birthday, bro.
Just enjoy your birthday, man.
Yeah, enjoy your birthday while you still have them
because with Trump
in the White House,
I don't know how many
you got left.
It is not that serious.
It is.
It definitely is.
I'm trying to tell you.
How do you know he's black?
You black, brother?
Yes, I am.
I'm Nigerian.
Ooh.
Yeah, he don't like you.
He's very black.
You know why you can't
recognize your own people?
Because I'm not one of us.
You Dominican.
No, because he said
he was voting for Trump,
so I just assumed he was a black person.
What does that mean?
That's a terrible assumption.
I know.
That's a horrible assumption.
The fact that Trump wouldn't let black people rent out his buildings and rent out his apartments at times,
I would just assume that a black person would be like, there's no way in hell I'm voting for Trump.
You have not seen these black conservatives.
You're right.
Well, you have a good one, my Nigerian brother.
Thank you.
All right.
That's actually one of the Nigerians that jumped Jussie Smollett.
He had the MAGA hat on.
That's who that was.
That's who that was.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up now.
We got rumors on the way?

We are The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk the game.
She's sp to the rumors. Let's talk the game. It's time.
She's spilling the tea.
This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club.
Alright, well
the game, he's doing his last studio
album and it's supposed to come out next month.
He did a post about it. He said,
Good morning, no typo, to my
Day One fans and those waiting on the album.
I know I've been quiet, but I've been grinding, tightening up the album for a November release.
In the process, I started Prolific Records, and I will drop my last studio album, Born to Rap, on this imprint.
I'm not mad at that.
Game can rap his ass off.
Game puts out good projects.
So he shouted out his real fans, and he said, get the merch before the album drop next month.
And you can click the link in his bio if you want to get that.
So his last studio album, that's what he's saying? Yeah, he also said it's the last album. He said, get the merch before the album drop next month, and you can click the link in his bio if you want to get that. So his last studio album, that's what he's saying?
Yeah.
He also said, it's the last album.
He said this previously.
He said, you know what, man?
Ten albums is good.
No other rapper outside of Drake has more number one albums than me.
We tied at nine.
But my album comes out.
Hopefully, he don't throw no ish out before me.
That's not true, though.
Jay-Z has, what, 13, 14 number one albums?
I'm not sure.
That's a fact.
I'm telling you. Jay-Z has, like, 13, 14 number one albums? Not sure. That's a fact. I'm telling you.
Jay-Z has like 13, 14 number one albums.
He's got more than Elvis.
All right, now let's talk about boxer Patrick Day.
He passed away yesterday.
Sad story.
So our condolences to his family and friends.
He was only 27 years old.
He was knocked down three times.
And he was knocked down once in the fourth round and the eighth round and finally in the tenth round
they said that last knockdown
was very brutal. His head bounced
off the canvas. The ref immediately stopped
the fight. He did suffer a seizure after the
fight. Then he fell into a coma
and then he underwent emergency brain surgery
and he fought for days but ultimately
he did pass
away because of the traumatic brain injury
that he suffered during the fight.
He was pronounced dead yesterday, surrounded by close friends, family, and members of his boxing team.
Listen, man, football and boxing is a blood sport.
And, you know, whether you realize it or not, every time those guys get on that field or every time those guys get in that ring,
there is a chance that they could suffer life-threatening injuries.
There's a chance that they could be killed.
Now, Patrick Day's promoter, Lou DiBella, issued a statement.
And, you know, he said he didn't have to box.
He chose to box.
He didn't need to.
He came from a good family.
He was smart, educated, had good values,
and had other avenues available to him to earn a living.
He chose to box knowing the inherent risk that every fighter faces
when he or she walks into a boxing ring.
Boxing is what Pat loved to do.
It's how he inspired people and it was something
that made him feel alive. It becomes very difficult
to explain away or justify
the dangers of boxing at a time like this.
This is not that time. He said,
it is, however, a time for a call to action.
While we don't have the answers, we certainly know
many of the questions have the means to answer them
and have the opportunity to respond responsibly
and accordingly and make boxing safer
for all who participate.
Yeah, God bless that brother.
Boxing is one of those things, like, you know the risk when you get in the ring,
but you don't hope that that outcome happens.
You know what I'm saying?
You just know that it's a possibility.
And sadly, this is just another harsh reminder.
It is.
That that is one of the risks you take when you get in that ring.
But even with boxing, like, you know, they've been talking about it for a long time,
but how do you make boxing safer?
You can't. You know what I mean?
You don't.
But you can tell boxers to pull their punches?
Or headgear.
I mean, who wants to see that with headgear on?
All right, now, since we're on the topic of boxing, Errol Spence Jr., we told you about this car crash he had
when he crashed his Ferrari in Texas last week in Dallas, and Dallas police have now charged him with a DWI.
They said that he was drunk when he crashed his Ferrari.
His car went over the median
and flipped multiple times.
He wasn't wearing a seatbelt
and he was thrown from the vehicle.
He did break some teeth.
He had other injuries to his face.
He was in intensive care,
but he's out of the hospital now.
They said the car was speeding,
but they didn't say how fast it was going
and they won't investigate that.
They said it was a single car accident
with no other criminal charges.
Glad to hear that, but time to
tighten up, bro. Don't waste your career away
partying hard. You almost lost your life.
You know what I'm saying? Because you're
driving and driving drunk and you're
having a great time. Like, come on, you're supposed to be
one of the best out there. There's a lot of other good
fights we want to see on deck with you.
Manny Pacquiao, Terrence Crawford.
But we want to see you live regardless.
We definitely want to see you live.
But don't waste your life.
And we don't want you to kill anybody else.
So just be careful out there.
Don't get caught up in the hype of being Earl Spence that you out in these streets partying and, you know, driving drunk. Now, Megyn Kelly has said that former Today host Matt Lauer is a sexual predator.
And she wants an urgent independent investigation into the rape and sexual harassment
allegations against him and she also wants to investigate whether NBC tried to cover them up
as well so that's what she wants to happen after seeing that whole we've been watching all the
reactions to the catch and kill book that Ronan Farrow wrote and they said that NBC killed his
expose on Harvey Weinstein because he knew that Matt Lauer had skeletons in his closet also,
so she wants all of those claims investigated.
All right, now, Ann Curry, according to reports,
could also destroy her former co-host Matt Lauer
if she actually talks about everything that she knows.
She worked with him from 1997 to 2012,
and she has not revealed the extent of allegations against him.
She has maintained a dignified silence, but they said she knows more than most about the man Matt really is,
and when she finally speaks out, that's it.
So, according to the new book by Ronan Farrow, Ann Curry insisted that the complaints about Matt Lauer's treatment of women
were well-known during the time that she worked.
She said she went to higher-ups after one colleague revealed to her that Matt Lauer exposed himself to her.
She didn't say who the accuser was,
but she said that they did have a problem with him.
And she said, I told them that they had a problem in him,
that he had a problem with women, that they had to keep an eye on him.
And I guess they didn't do anything.
Also, they're saying that Matt Lauer's ex-wife, Annette Roque,
was reportedly in hell during her marriage to him.
She's a model and she was a NBC star.
And well, no, she's a model.
And he, of course, you know, from the Today Show, they said she faced challenges from the beginnings of their 20 year marriage and he denied everything.
She believed his denials.
That's what she chose to do.
She stuck by him and she stayed for the kids.
But during the final five years of the marriage, they said
she had been through hell and she
wanted out of the marriage for a long time, so they
finally did get a divorce. Their divorce
was finalized last month.
So, that's what you have.
Alright, I'm Angela Yee and that is your
Rumor Report. Alright, thank you, Ms. Yee.
Now, up next is front page news. What are we talking about?
Well, we are going to talk about Donald Trump. According
to Democrats, they're saying Donald Trump had a meltdown at the White House.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning. Somebody told you. But it ain't gonna lie, Mr. O, you.
All right.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Shout out to Jadakiss, man.
Jadakiss got a record that's coming out tomorrow.
It's called Me.
Oh, that's what you've been listening to.
Yeah, I got it early.
So we're going to get that on this morning in the mix.
Hard, all right?
Let's get some front page news.
Now, in baseball, Houston Astros, New York Yankees, they played tonight at 8 p.m. Yesterday, the game was rained out.
And then Thursday night, football!
The Denver Broncos take on the Kansas City Chiefs.
What else are we talking about, Yeezy?
Well, let's talk about this, quote, meltdown that happened at the White House. Now, Democrats
are saying Donald Trump had a meltdown.
They were actually meeting Democratic leaders
at the White House for a meeting on Syria
and they were
opposing the Trump administration's troop
withdrawal. They did overwhelmingly pass
a bipartisan vote on a resolution that opposed
that. So, according
to reports, they are
saying that Donald Trump was just
speaking very nastily to
Nancy Pelosi, the House Speaker. Here's what
Chuck Schumer had to say. He was insulting,
particularly to the Speaker.
She kept her cool completely,
but he called her a third-rate
politician. He said
that there are communists involved,
and you guys might like that. I mean,
this was not a dialogue.
It was sort of a diatribe, a nasty diatribe,
not focused on the facts of how to curtail ISIS.
All right, now here is Nancy Pelosi speaking on what she says was a meltdown by Donald Trump.
What we witnessed on the part of the president was a meltdown.
Think that vote, the size of the vote, more than two to one of the Republicans voted to oppose what the president did,
probably got to the president because he was shaken up by it.
Right. So according to White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham, she says the meeting, she had a whole different view.
She said that Trump was measured and decisive and Nancy Pelosi had no intention of listening.
She said the president was measured, factual,
and decisive while Speaker Pelosi's decision
to walk out was baffling
but not surprising.
She had no intention of listening or contributing
to an important meeting on national security
issues. In addition, of course, what do you think Donald
Trump did? He sent out tweets.
Of course. Alright, he posted a picture
of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.
He said the do nothing Democrats, Pelosi and Schumer stormed out of the cabinet room.
Then a few minutes later, he posted a picture of Nancy Pelosi standing up, pointing at Donald Trump.
And he says that is nervous. Nancy's unhinged meltdown.
And then his last tweet was a photo that showed two empty seats designated for Nancy Pelosi and Schumer.
And he said, the do-nothing Democrats, Pelosi and Schumer,
stormed out of the cabinet room.
No, that's how an old woman points at you when you're in trouble.
You know what I'm saying?
When you've been acting up.
Okay?
When you need to be disciplined.
All right.
Now let's talk about Chicago.
Teachers are striking in Chicago.
Definitely don't need that.
They're trying to figure out a way to make sure that doesn't happen.
It's supposed to start today.
So I guess we'll know soon enough.
But the city has canceled classes in Chicago.
They confirmed that the members would not return to classrooms
after months of negotiation between the union and Chicago public schools
failed to resolve disputes.
And those disputes are, of course, over pay and benefits,
class size, and teacher preparation time.
So right now, if you are in Chicago, breakfast and lunch will be served at school,
but all after-school activities and school buses are suspended
in the district that serves more than 300,000 students.
All right, now we talked about this earlier.
A man was sentenced to 15 years for cocaine possession in Oklahoma.
Turns out it wasn't cocaine. It was just powdered milk.
So he did plead guilty at first, and then he withdrew his guilty plea,
and that case was dismissed after they tested it
and found out it was only powdered milk.
He was sentenced to 15 years in prison originally last week,
but now he's free.
Okay.
And that is Cody Gregg.
He was released on Friday.
He was in jail since August, by the way.
All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Front Page News.
All right, thank you, Miss Yee.
Now, when we come back, Cyntoia Brown will be joining us.
Now, for people who are maybe not familiar with Cyntoia Brown,
do you want to give them a little explanation of who she is?
For Cyntoia, she was granted clemency, and at the age of 16,
she was sentenced to life in prison for murdering a man who she said she was defending herself against.
He had picked her up for prostitution, took her
to his home, took, yeah,
took her to his home, and she felt like her life was in
danger. So her whole book explains
all of this. It talks about her past,
how she even got to that point where
she was, had a pimp,
and she was being prostituted at the age
of 16. We better talk to her about
all that, man, and there's nothing I love more than a good testimony of God's amazing power.
And boy, she got a strong one.
That's right.
And we'll talk to her when we come back.
So don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
Yes, indeed.
Centoya Brown, welcome.
Thank you.
Good morning.
Long.
Centoya Brown, long.
First of all, how are you?
And when I say how are you, I mean, like, how are you?
How is your emotional spirit, your mental health?
How are you?
I'm good.
I feel really blessed.
You know, this is all new, coming to a new city,
traveling, doing this, but
it's just a blessing. I keep reminding myself
what the opportunity
is and
I just feel called to do it. It was hard
for me in reading this book is you
in court not being able to
express yourself and tell your story.
Just knowing that
you have to rehearse these answers, just give yes or
no answers and not explain
how you got to where
you got to that you ended up in
court in a situation where
you were being charged with murder.
And so it's great to be able to read
this and see all the events
that led up to it because people look at a story like
that, they see you in court, just like the
jury might see you in court and say,
this woman killed someone and therefore equals she's a bad person
without understanding the events that really transpired.
So let's talk about that a little bit now,
just for people who might not be as familiar with the story of how everything happened.
Yeah, so I got involved with the juvenile justice system when I was 12, got locked up in state custody, and I started running from facilities.
I started staying on the streets in Nashville.
And so naturally, if you're in a situation, you don't know how to handle it.
You make a lot of bad decisions.
Right.
I ended up with a man that at the time I believed was my boyfriend, but he wasn't.
And you were how old?
I was 16 years old at that time.
So now I come to know that my experience is sex trafficking.
You know, but at that time, I just felt like I was playing my role in a relationship.
So a man, he was 43 years old, had picked me up for sex,
made me feel uncomfortable, just wanted to leave,
didn't feel that I was safe to do so. And I shot him. And,
you know, I was arrested. And the detectives, you know, they talked to me like, just let us know
what happened. Was he trying to rape you? Did you feel uncomfortable? Did he threaten you? Like,
what was the deal? And in my mind, I'm thinking, I was just defending myself. Right. They'll
understand that. Yeah. And so he was like, if you talk to us, it'll be the difference between nine
years and 99 years. And I was like, OK, I'll talk to us, it'll be the difference between nine years and 99 years.
And I was like, okay, I'll talk to you.
I didn't think I did anything wrong.
No lawyer?
No lawyer, no parent, none of that.
They could do that at 16?
Well, see, I did say that I was 19, and then they figured out that I was 16.
But even once they found out that I was 16, they didn't offer to call my parents.
They didn't offer any of that.
Is that legal?
Of course it's not.
That's what makes me feel like it should have been dropped
or that testimony shouldn't have been able to be used.
And we filed that because another thing that they had said,
you know, there's another thing in your Miranda rights.
If they offer you promises of leniency, they can't do that.
And so, of course, they ask you that outside of the room
where there's the camera.
So we sat at the table and he was saying
you know the nine years versus 99 years
and whenever we got into the room
he said no promises have been made
and I was like hold up
it's not what you said a second ago
and even though that was on tape that I said it
obviously it alludes to some kind of conversation
where there were promises being made
the judge still felt that the confession should
still be allowed in. Wow.
That it wasn't coerced. Where did the botched
robbery story come from?
They were trying to say it was a robbery.
Because whenever I had left,
you know, I took guns from his house.
I wasn't trying to go back
to be with another man. I just wanted to
go back to the hotel and just rest.
Couldn't go back with nothing.
Right, no money, you know, you had a
pimp.
Let's quote your boyfriend, so you thought.
At that time, I just thought, I can't go back because
that's going to be pissed. Let me talk about how you met him.
We had Tony Rivera here last week.
And she was talking about,
you know, she was a victim of sex trafficking
and she tries to save women.
And it's very scary. She was saying that
it's shopping season now,
and this is the time when men are actually looking for these young girls.
So what did you see in him that made you trust him, and how did that happen?
I mean, I think it can happen at any time. It can happen to anyone.
There was something within me where I was constantly seeking acceptance.
I wanted to be desired, and it was that desperation.
My whole self-image was based on how others
viewed me. How men
were attracted to me.
And that's
dangerous. Because people will say, oh well
she didn't have to stay. And this is what
people who have never been in a
situation like that or don't know anybody or
don't know the story or aren't educated will say,
okay, she
chose to be there. But what they
don't understand is, like you said, a lot of things, even in your childhood, you talk about
not feeling accepted, not feeling like you fit in, finding out that you were adopted. You know,
I'm sure all of those things played a role in you just feeling like not worthy.
Right. And I think, number one, you can't fight someone else's inner battles,
you know, and you can't say like what it's like. I used to be the person where it was like, oh no, ain't no man gonna ever put his hands on me. Like I would leave,
I would do this, I wouldn't stay, but there's so much into it like psychologically and you know,
there's a real thing. It's called a trauma bond. You know, that's what happens when you're in
abusive situations and you're always thinking, well, I must have done something, but it's going
to get better and it's okay.
This is normal.
We're just having problems.
This is just natural.
It's not, but these are just the lies that you tell yourself.
They're the lies that you're told, the lies that you take in from around you,
and it's just not the truth.
What was your childhood like prior to meeting that guy?
So at home, I had a good home.
Father and mother?
Mm-hmm.
So I was adopted.
My father, he was in the military.
He was retired from the military.
He started driving trucks.
A lot of discipline.
Very strict, you know.
So he was two-strick, so you wanted to have a little bit more fun, basically.
Right.
My mother, church every Sunday, every Wednesday.
Every time I get in trouble, what's going on, like trying to take me to counseling.
And I wasn't with that. you know, intelligent though. Yeah. You were in a special program. Yeah. So I was in the program for academically superior students got kicked out
because of my attitude. Obviously I had some behavioral issues and instead of actually trying
to figure that out, trying to work with my mother who would come up to the school every time they
called her up and think,
well, what is it that I can be doing?
Like, and they had no answers.
Just take her home.
She's suspended.
Or we're going to send her to alternative school.
So it was just easier for them to push me aside
to get rid of me
than actually invest the time trying to figure out
what can we do to help you?
Like, how can we help you to grow?
Why do you think you started acting out?
Do you think it was because you knew you were adopted?
Or what made you start acting out? Yeah, I think there was
a seed that was planted whenever I found out.
I wrote about in the book, you know,
how when I started school and, you know,
kids would ask, why are you, like, why are you
not the same color as your parents? And, like,
that there, it's like,
this lens was put on me. I kept seeing myself
as different from other people. I didn't fit
in. I was outcast. And
you know, after a while, I just, I stopped
wanting to fit in. I stopped
caring because I found other people
where, like, they didn't care.
Alright, we got more with Centoya Brown. Long when we come
back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
We pop out at
your...
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still talking with Cyntoia Brown along.
Yee.
What would you say about how the police handled the situation afterward?
Because it seems like once they found out that you were only 16 years old, right?
You think police have to be trained differently when they have to deal with women who clearly are victims of sex trafficking.
Yeah. What's interesting for me
is that, you know, they actually
had cut. They questioned him. They had
all his information.
He told on you. Yeah.
And while I was defending him,
oh no, he didn't do that. You're lying.
You know, of course, because that's what he told me.
Like, if they ever tell you something like that, it's a lie.
But, yeah, so like, they never arrested him. Even after finding out, after, you know, of course, because that's what he told me. Like, if they ever tell you something like that, it's a lie. But, yeah, so, like, they never arrested him.
Even after finding out, after, you know, I testified at the transfer hearing about the truth about everything that happened.
They still, they never arrested him.
But, I mean, it should have been enough the minute you found out I was 16 and you found me naked in the room with this man.
Like, you threatened to shoot me because I was trying to get my clothes when you burst into the room.
The police did?
The cops.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah. Yeah.
So, like, why was that a problem?
And then here he is 15 years later,
the detective in my case, and he comes to the
hearing saying, she was in traffic.
She wanted to do what she was doing.
And, like, that's the mindset
that, like, you know, we're up against.
Like, you don't understand. Like, there's
no such thing as a teenage prostitute.
Period. That's a good point as a teenage prostitute, period.
That's a good point.
I'm wondering, when you got caught up in the human trafficking ring,
when did you realize you were being taken advantage of and what was happening was wrong?
Did you not realize that until you was in jail?
I didn't realize that until I was well into my 20s,
until I was an adult.
I didn't think that I was a victim.
I didn't think that I was exploited.
People were telling me this, and I was like,
no, no, it wasn't that. You don't understand. I knew what I was a victim. I didn't think that I was exploited. People were telling me this and I was like, no, no, it wasn't that.
You don't understand. I knew what I was doing.
When did you realize that you were going to have
to sit in jail for a long time and
you needed help? When did that
finally come together? Like, no, this is not some
short term and Kurt doesn't have my back.
When did that come to your mind?
I remember there was a woman that worked
in the detention center and it was
Fakesha. She sat down with me.
They're still trying to talk to me, which I had talked to them about everything that happened.
But they wanted me to testify about it in court.
And I was like, I'm not doing that.
And they were like, listen, this man doesn't care about you the way you think he does.
Like he's already made a testimony against you.
I'm like, that's not true.
You're lying.
Like they actually showed me the police report.
I thought it was fake.
I thought it was done. Yeah. And I called him. I was like, let me call him. And're lying. Like, they actually showed me the police report. They thought it was fake. They thought it was doxing.
Yeah.
And I called him.
I was like, let me call him.
And of course, he said, man, they're lying.
And I believed him.
It took for her to sit down and say, like, you're facing life.
You do understand that, right?
What do you think he's out there doing?
You know, as a father, I'm so intrigued by the childhood you before this situation happened.
So what do you think the childhood you needed not to fall victim to a guy like her?
Everybody thinks, like, they always point the finger at the parents.
I'm not a parent, but I'm sure that you would know.
Like, there's only so much that you have control over.
You can have control over them when they're in your home,
but when they're not at your home and they're at school,
when they're with their friends, you don't know what they're learning.
You don't know what they're going through.
You don't know what's happening with them like that. Don't remind what they're going through you don't know what's happening don't remind me my anxiety
when you started running the streets what were your parents doing like were they like active
and trying to get you out of the streets like i mean yeah like i mean there's some let me tell
you something like when you run from dcs and things like that they don't look for you nobody
was looking for me when my mother was like i would call my mother from time to time i would
block them and she would beg me.
It still breaks my heart when I
can hear her
in my head begging me to come home.
You think you were traumatized before
you went to jail? Yeah, but
I wasn't really processing
what was going on because everything was
just back to back to back to back. So you kind of just
hold that in, you hold that in, you hold that in.
And, you know, I didn't have time to deal with the trauma.
I didn't have time to process what was happening.
And, you know, that took place, of course, when I was in the cell.
How though?
Because prison adds more trauma to the trauma you already had before you got there.
So how do you dig deep to deal with that?
I was in solitary confinement.
Oh, my God.
For how long?
For two years.
What? Yeah.
I was only on solitary confinement because I
was a juvenile. Just because I was a kid.
Didn't want you in general population. Right.
And so you put me on something that
you use to punish adults. They thought they were helping
you. Right. I didn't think they were helping
me. I didn't care.
So whenever I got out and I was
around people, it was weird. It was different. I had to learn how to carry on conversations with people because I didn't care. But so whenever I got out and I was around people, it was weird.
It was different.
Like, I had to learn how to carry on conversations with people
because I didn't have that stimulation.
I didn't have that interaction.
And, you know, coming back into that, I didn't react well.
I didn't know how to deal with people.
So I ended up getting into a fight with one of the girls at the prison
when I first got there, and I went back on solitary confinement.
Now, when you were locked up, were you aware the social media
campaign had set you free? Well, I
found out about it, because, you know, there's still people
from the outside who work in the prisons, and it was one of
the prison's guards that had said something
about it. Did they treat you different after?
Yeah, some not really good,
but, yeah, it was,
I was treated different after, but it
just, it was just amazing,
not because of the celebrity element, like But it was just amazing. Not because of the celebrity element.
It was just all the people
across the world
who were speaking. People from
all different walks of the world who were coming together
saying, you know, I don't know what to do
but I don't think this is right and I want to
do something. And to finally hear your
story. Yeah. You know, it's interesting. Social
media had more of an impact than the documentary
did. Because I remember when it first's interesting. Social media had more of an impact than the documentary did.
Because I remember when it first started happening on social media,
people were thinking it was a new case.
And I'm like, nah, this happened in like 06.
There's a whole doc about it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I think that is, you know, I think the biggest impact,
the biggest influence was God.
Of course.
Whenever God's ready for things to be brought to the surface,
like that's when it happens.
And so I think it was all in his timing.
And it was hard for you to believe in God at first.
Oh, yeah.
It wasn't until I discovered how to have a relationship with Jesus.
It wasn't until I started learning more about him.
You hear so much and it just kind of turns you off.
When you actually can open the book and learn for yourself,
like, wait a minute, like,
Jesus didn't say that I'm not worthy because of what
I've done. That's not what he's saying at all.
So once I learned about him,
once I started to have a relationship with him, once I started
to get in his face, that's when things
started turning around. Alright, we got more with
Centoya Brown-Long. When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Centoya Brown.
Now, your husband's here.
So how did you guys meet?
So my husband, Jamie. Look at you blushing.
That's good.
That's good.
He does that to me.
There you go.
So he wrote me, you know, while I was in prison.
I'm sure you got a ton of letters.
So what made you look at that letter and read that letter?
Yes, so it was crazy.
Like, I wasn't writing anybody back.
I did get a lot of letters, but, you know, my attorneys had said that, you know,
don't be writing back because people were putting stuff on the Internet at that time,
and it was like anything could be held against you, so you want to be very careful how your words can be misconstrued
right and so I wasn't writing people back but there was something about his letter he had burnt
the edges of it I was like this is really neat and then of course he's looks really good so you
know I wrote him back and I remember just feeling like just amazed at like this man you got to think
about the men that I had known before.
By him telling me a lot of the experiences that he had and he rose above that.
You know, he started his own record label, independent artist, became successful by the time he was 24, coming from nothing.
And whenever he was talking about all these accomplishments, he cast it back on God.
He said it was because, you know,
I know that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
And there was something about when he said that to me,
it was like, wow.
What's his name?
His name is Jamie.
Jamie King.
Get on the mic.
I want to ask you a question, King.
What made you want to write her?
What moved you to write her?
Well, honestly, I was minding my business.
And we had a little studio.
And I had this TV in this room.
And I usually watch YouTube, Netflix, or whatever.
You know what I'm saying?
So the YouTube app was up.
And I'm usually watching sports and stuff like that on YouTube.
But for some reason, for three days, her face was on the recommendations.
And I just clicked it.
I ended up watching it an hour later.
And I was just like, wow.
As I'm walking out the room,
I felt God tell me, stop and write her.
Wow.
And what I wrote in the letter,
I told her, basically, I said,
God told me to tell you that you're getting out of prison.
Tell me about what you wrote at the bottom.
I put the hashtag Free Centoria Brown 2017
before there was a hashtag.
In January.
That hashtag didn't happen until November.
Wow.
Yeah.
I sent it.
I wasn't looking for a reply back.
It was what it was.
We started writing.
I want to say we were writing for four months,
and then I went to go visit her.
When I walked in to see her, I knew right then she was my wife.
And what gets mixed and screwed a lot on the Internet
is that people think that we met
right when she got out.
Dude, we almost three years in with this thing.
I bought my wife's wedding ring
two years ago. When she was still in prison.
When she was still in prison and we didn't know she was getting out.
Santoya, what made you trust him?
You know, he had just, like, there's just
something about him. Number one, I had
got rid of my trust issues, like with men.
I had to decide a long time ago, I wasn't going to
continue to allow Cut to run my life from the grave.
Just because he was, you know,
who he was, and just because certain
men had done me the way they had.
Forget that. What made me trust you?
I'm out. I'm free.
I'm living life.
You feel me? He's like, straight up.
I'm good. That's how I know it was God.
You feel me? She was locked up. You could have been out here connecting with any woman. Well, that's like, straight up. Like, I'm good. But that's how I know it was God. You feel me? You feel me?
She was locked up.
You could have been out here connecting with any woman.
Well, that's the thing, bro.
Like, I was married before.
Yeah.
And I married the wrong woman.
And I said, man, I wasn't doing that no more, man.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, look, I'm young.
I was like, I'm just going to live my life.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I'm like, I'm not doing this married thing no more.
But it's just like my-
Especially for a woman in prison.
But see, that's the thing, though.
This is why you got to know there's power in the tongue.
When people read a book, you're going to see she made a covenant with God
when she said, God, if you let me out this prison, I'll tell the world about you.
He answered a prayer, but it was 15 years later.
You see what I'm saying?
Don't matter.
He always comes on time.
He's on time.
And see, I said the same thing.
I said, Lord, you know what?
I'm sick and tired of running around out here.
I want to settle down. I want to start a family.
And I want to really live for you and please you.
He said, alright.
I'm going to hold you to that.
The way we had to communicate
is unique in itself. It's a story in itself.
What was that?
Let me tell you something. The phones come on at
6 o'clock in the morning to 9 o'clock at night.
I got to wait to 6 in the morning to hear from her again.
I don't know what's going on in that prison.
Wow.
Because when I would go visit her, I know how they treated me.
Oh, and sometimes the phones would get cut off.
The phones get cut off.
I don't hear from her for days.
How did they treat you when you went in there to visit?
Oh, man, they treat you like, brother, I mean, one time, I went to see her the first time.
After I went to see her the first time, it was easy-peasy.
And then I came back to surprise her on my birthday.
And when I got there, I was met by probably like 20 cops or something like that.
And I was like, okay, this is unusual.
They were doing a shakedown.
They were doing a shakedown.
I knew nothing about them.
And the next thing I know, they got me in a cage, running a dog around me.
They said, we found weed in your car.
I'm like, no, you didn't.
Because I don't smoke.
I don't drink.
I don't get down like that.
And they were like, well, you ain't going to be able to see again.
And I'm like, well, what's up with that?
And they said, well, maybe we'll let you come back in a year.
So I seen her one time, came back to see her the second time.
I wouldn't see my wife again for almost two years.
And they suspended him because his cousin had drove him up
there. His cousin had a bottle
of, was it crown? An unopened
bottle of crown in the glove compartment
in his cousin's car.
Now that's not even like routine.
If it's unopened, what's the problem? Right. It's not like
he's trying to bring it in the prison. It's a
bottle. But honestly, I felt like
it all made sense because
like I say, you asked the question, how did she learn to trust me?
Well, that was the test right there.
I thought it was gone.
Is he going to disappear?
No, I stayed 10 times down.
You couldn't see her for a year and you still stayed right here.
I couldn't see her for two years, brother.
You know what's so powerful about this story, man?
When you say you got to trust in God and you pray for something and, you know, he showed it to you and you're like, it may not be the way you thought you was going to get it.
I prayed for a woman,
but this woman's in prison,
but you know this is your wife,
but you got to trust in God anyway.
Man, I look at it like he just hid away from me
so I can get myself together.
You feel me?
I'm glad you had to clear that up.
I'm glad you had a chance to clear that up
because I did see your ex-wife
saying things very negative.
You know, I think that was very,
and this is my first time speaking on this.
I think it was very selfish.
I mean, I don't know if she's trying to reinvent her career.
I don't know what she's trying to do.
But she's a singer?
Well, Pam.
From Total.
You know, I've been divorced from Pam, what, almost four or five years now, man.
I don't know.
And we didn't even hang out.
I didn't see her that much when we were married.
I think it was finalized 2014.
2014, something like that.
It doesn't even matter.
What did she say?
I didn't hear what she said.
Yeah, I wasn't sure.
She warned me.
About me.
On social media.
And made it seem like you were doing this for attention.
Well, first of all, what do I have for sale?
We are very financially stable.
I've heard that
because my wife has a book deal
and I'll get this straight. With or without
a book deal, my wife is going to be straight
because we straight. What was your first day
home like? Oh, it was incredible.
It was amazing. He had us a
house ready, had a closet full
of clothes that he had picked out. Thank
God he's got good taste because I don't. What was your
first meal? Man, she ate ravioli.
Ravioli? Brother.
I said, man, you have
whatever you want to do.
I'm going to get a can of ravioli.
Where you get all this money from, brother?
I own a home health business back
in Texas, man, and it was an investment that I made.
Home health? Home health business.
And it paid off really well for me.
10 years, 11 years in, and it's growing.
What does home health do?
Well, see, I do diabetic shoes, hospital beds.
We do all kinds of stuff.
And the nurses, they?
Yeah, we got all that.
So, you know, we good.
Smart.
Smart.
Other than God, how did you get to a place of healing?
Did you go to therapy?
Like, what was it?
Tim McGee.
Yeah.
Yeah. Who? Our pastor, Tim McGee. I passed Tim McGee.
He dealt with her. He dealt with me. He dealt with us.
How did that impact you when you're trying to deal with
the fact that you killed Cut?
I didn't kill Cut.
She didn't kill Cut.
Not the pimp. Who the hell was the guy that got killed?
I don't want to say whatever the guy.
Somebody killed Cut. I didn't do it.
It really messed with me for a long time
because I'm looking in the court.
I know what I felt that night.
And on the statute on self-defense,
it's based on what you feel.
But you have everybody who's telling you
this is not the truth.
And so I spent so much time years thinking about it.
Thinking, what could I have done differently?
Yeah.
Did you ever speak to the family at all?
I haven't.
I haven't spoken to them.
I know, you know, there were court hearings that they had showed up on.
But I haven't spoken to them.
I saw you say you would.
What would you say to them?
I mean, I don't know.
I guess it just depends on, like, what they would ask.
You know, if they felt that that would be helpful to them, you know, they didn't do anything.
Like, what happened between me and him, that had nothing to do with them. But, you know, they didn't do anything. Like, what happened between me and him, that had nothing to do with
them, but, you know, they're still suffering.
Why did you feel the need to apologize to the family?
Because, like I said, like, it
wasn't, like, they didn't have anything to do with that.
Are you prepared for them not to accept your apologies?
Yeah. Like, I'm prepared for
that because, again, like, I can't tell them,
like, what their process is.
Right. They may feel that, you know, it's best
when they never want to see me, They never want to talk to me.
Like, that's their decision.
I would never push that on them.
Well, definitely pick up this book.
Yes.
Man, you can't put it down.
I promise you, you'll cry while you're reading it.
It'll make you realize a lot of things, make you take a different look at, like we said, education system, prison system.
And, you know, thank God you did have some angels along the way.
Oh, yeah.
I feel like I feel God when I see y'all. and you know thank God you did have some angels along the way I can feel it
I feel God when I see y'all
cause all of those things that happen
things don't happen for no reason
those dots don't connect like that
you kept her strong while she was in prison
you just had a vision to reach out to her
and then y'all came home and did the work with the pastor
to get to a place of healing
I don't know man
I wish y'all the best
running those streets with cuts still you might have been dead best. And if you would have been running those streets
with cuts still,
you might have been dead too.
Absolutely.
I'm sure I would have been there
with him when he was killed
because he was killed,
I think it was eight months
after I was arrested.
Well, Centolia Brown-Long,
we appreciate you for joining us.
Thank y'all.
Bruv, I didn't catch your name
because you just happened
to know what your name is.

Jay.

Depressed? A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.

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, money!
Shout out to Cardi B. Happy birthday to
Bardi B. She was celebrating her birthday on an
island somewhere. Heard it off set.
I know where she was at because I've been there before.
I can tell by the landmarks. There you go.
Alright, well let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk to the most beautiful thing in the world.
Listen up.
This just in.
All the gossip.
The rumor report.
Gossip.
With Angela Yee.
It's the rumor report.
The Breakfast Club.
Yeah, this was irritating yesterday.
Y'all don't know Keith Murray?
All right, fine.
Go ahead.
So they-
We hear you, old head.
All right.
I saw a lot of people talking about this,
and they were discussing the world's most beautiful woman
according to science.
There's a science equation that they do.
It's called the golden ratio of beauty phi.
Oh, boy.
And they talk about who is the most beautiful woman in the world
according to this scientific equation.
You already know what it is,
because it was whoever came closest to the ancient Greeks, they're saying number one on the list is Bella Hadid, the model.
And then number two is Beyonce, followed by actress Amber Heard and then Ariana Grande, according to these ratios.
And that's the measure, the elements of your face and all of that
for your physical perfection.
Greeks used to learn
from Egyptian teachers.
So basically,
we taught them
everything they know.
So their idea of beauty
is actually black people.
Now,
the other people
who are on this top 10 list,
definitely not black.
That's what I'm saying.
Right.
Taylor Swift,
Kate Moss,
Scarlett Johansson,
Natalie Partman,
Katy Perry.
All right.
Now,
let's discuss
Wale.
What did you say about Wale?
No, not Wale. I was thinking about that list.
I'm going to keep my thoughts to myself.
That list is heavy on the mayonnaise.
I'm going to say that.
None of those women are my personal preference, but it don't matter.
Not even Beyonce?
Beyonce is the queen, though.
Let's talk about Wale. He did an interview with Elliot Wilson.
And in that interview, he discussed his daughter's mother and his feelings for her.
Listen to this.
I got one of the most beautiful, powerful, inspirational, dedicated baby mothers of all time.
Yes! dedicated baby mothers of all time. Somewhere along the line,
we lost our way as far as
connecting as lovers, but I
will always hold that moment down for the rest of my
life until I have no more fucking breath
in my life. As he should.
Alright, in addition to that, he
discusses his new girlfriend
because, you know, people were going in on him.
They were saying he's dating a white girl
and all kinds of stuff and you know, people were going in on him. They were saying he's dating a white girl and all kinds of stuff.
And, you know, people were wondering, what does she do?
And you know how people act like when a woman is dating a man who's successful.
They don't act like that woman can have her own success.
Well, listen to what he had to say about India Graham.
You say that model chick.
By the grace of God, I don't ever want those words to leave your lips again like that
because there ain't no model chick.
That's a special human being that came into my life, told me about affirmations, told me how to love better, told me how to be positive.
All right.
Now, there's other rumors that Diddy and Lori Harvey have broken up.
They've been saying this for quite some time.
And you know what really sealed the deal?
What's that?
They unfollowed each other on social media.
So now that is like confirmation.
That's solidified now, right?
Look, that's what happens when you date a 22-year-old, okay?
That's how you know y'all broke up.
She unfollows you.
Now you got to unfollow her back.
Boy, that would make me feel stupid if I was Diddy.
If I was 50 years old and I'm caught up with some young girl and I'm unfollowing her,
that news story is embarrassing, Diddy.
If that news story don't make a man want to, you know, just
level up in a different way
mentally, something ain't right, yo.
I don't want my name attached to
nothing like that. I unfollowed.
He might have to ask his son, like, she unfollowed me. What should I do?
Diddy probably had to ask
his son how to unfollow somebody.
I'm sure Diddy know how to unfollow.
I'm sitting here thinking, do I know how to unfollow people?
Yes, you do. Let me unfollow one of y'all.
Here's an exclusive from the Jasmine brand.
Kelly Rowland wants to get her own talk show.
I think that makes sense.
She's been testing the market with her new social media series, Coffee with Kelly,
and she's already met with networks to discuss the opportunity for a show.
So she already has other things she's been involved with.
As you know, she's been judges on TV shows and produced stuff,
so I think that's a natural next step.
I'm not mad at that.
All you got to do is click following,
and it gives you the option.
Duh!
So you think you just revealed something to people?
I'm just asking. I don't know.
All right, now Trevor Noah,
he's weighing in on this whole Gina Rodriguez controversy
with her saying the N-word.
If you guys remember,
she was singing along to a Fuji song
and has since apologized for using that word. I just wanted to reach out and apologize.
I am sorry. I am sorry if I offended anyone by singing along to the Fugees to a song I love that
I grew up on. I love Lauryn Hill. And I really am sorry if I offended you. Well, Trevor Noah is
offering a solution on how rappers can actually help people stop saying the N-word.
I think rappers could help prevent these incidents from happening in the first place.
Because think about it, rappers already make songs that are safe for radio.
I think now they need to make versions of their songs that are safe for non-black people.
Yeah, they can just replace the N-word with something safe, like my friends.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, just change it.
It's like, and if you don't know, now you know, my friends.
I agree with Trevor.
Rappers have the power to change narratives,
and we've been trying to make a negative a positive for too long with the N-word.
Like, there's so many other high-frequency words you can use.
And also, if you don't want me to sing your music because it has the N-word in it,
maybe I shouldn't buy your music because it has the N-word in it, maybe I shouldn't buy your music because it has the N-word in it
because clearly this isn't for me.
How do you feel when people replace it with ninja?
Does that still sound weird?
I don't want to offend ninjas.
I've heard people do that.
I don't want to offend the ninja community.
All right, and shout out to Tiana Taylor.
According to her Twitter, she has plans to put out a new album.
People were asking, where is her album?
When is it coming out?
And she said the album will be dropping December 6th.
And it also has a collaboration with Kalani on that as well.
Hey, who made that list with all them white women and Beyonce on there and said it was the most beautiful list?
That's still on your mind?
That's according to the Daily Mail.
And it was some scientific equation that they came up with.
Listen, beauty is an eye to behold.
I just wanted the Daily Mail to know that list is trash, and that list is trash because
there's not enough black women on there. I'm sure everybody
knows that list is very... That list is
definitely trash. I went back and looked at it. That list
is garbage. But shout out to all the
beautiful women, all these women. No, there ain't
no black women on that list. Well, I don't mean... Beyonce's on it.
I mean, in general, to all of the beautiful women
who listen to our show, y'all are amazing.
What they gotta do with this list? Don't worry about a list.
Yeah, this list is trash.
All right.
I'm Angela Yee
and that's your Rumor Report.
All right.
And don't forget,
we do Ask Yee next hour.
So if you want to get
on the phone lines,
800-585-1051
if you got questions for Yee.
But up next,
Charlamagne.
Yes.
Who you giving that donkey to?
Donkey of the day
is going to a young woman
in Connecticut
who was hungry,
but I think she snacked
on the wrong thing.
Oh boy.
All right. We'll get to that next.
Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Don't be a donkey, because right now you want some real
donkeys.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man,
hit me with the heel.
Did she get donkey in the name, please, Deli?
Absolutely. I have become donkey
of the day.
The Breakfast Club, bitches.
You're a donkey. Yes, donkey of the day. That's a breakfast club, bitches. You're a donkey.
Yes, donkey of the day for Thursday, October 17th
goes to a Connecticut woman named Anna Lindo.
Now, Anna was arrested after attacking her ex-boyfriend with a brick.
Yes, a brick.
Just like Craig did Debo in Friday.
Now, the reason she attacked her ex with a brick
is because her ex- bae has moved on.
All right. And he is married to another woman now.
Anna allegedly has been stalking her ex-boyfriend and his new wife.
So her ex-boyfriend was minding his business, walking to a spot called the Jam Rock restaurant in Connecticut to get a bite to eat.
Keyword is bite. Now, Anna pulled up on him and started blowing the horn.
All right. When he turned around, he saw Anna approaching
him with a brick. Yeah, she pulled up
on him with a brick and the two got to struggling
for control of the brick as they should have.
Okay, I don't want to hear anyone out there talking about
this is domestic violence on the guy's part.
I don't want to hear a man shouldn't put his hand
on a woman when a woman or anyone for that matter
is attacking you with a weapon. The first
law of nature is self-preservation and that's
what this man was doing.
He was protecting himself
and trying to get the brick away.
Well, he didn't protect himself well enough
because according to Lieutenant Paul Cicero,
her ex bae had her in a reverse bear hug,
like back to chest,
because he was trying to restrain her,
and then homie's wife came on the scene,
and that's when Anna took off running
because she knew it was about to get real.
Her ex-man can't put hands on her but his current wife can that's why you never
send a man to do a woman's job okay well when anna saw the wife coming she bounced all right
but this poor victim the poor man she just assaulted her ex-boyfriend he felt a pain
in his right hand seeing the process of all that tussling and struggling, Anna must have worked up an appetite,
and she must have thought about that meal
she wasn't getting at the Jam Rock restaurant
because he was going there without her
because, uh, you're not his wife anymore.
So she decided to bite the tip of this man's finger off.
What?
Yeah, she bit the tip of this man's finger off.
She really took calling this man's finger off.
She really took calling this man a whole snack to another level.
Can you imagine being in a struggle and then looking down and realizing that you got a piece of your body missing?
Now, what did Anna Lindo do after she removed her ex's fingertip with her teeth?
What do you think she did?
It's 2019.
What do you think she did?
If you guessed,
took it to social media,
then you are correct.
All right.
There is,
uh,
was a picture on her Facebook page of her holding up his fingertip on social
media.
Now police retrieved the victim's fingertip after Anna's own mother called
police and reported that she found it inside her daughter's car on the dashboard.
The fingertip was then rushed to the St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center,
where the victim was receiving treatment, but they were not able to reattach the fingertip, okay?
Now, I feel this fingertip needs a short film, okay?
I need to know what happened to the fingertip after it was removed from its owner, okay?
What did she do with this fingertip
before she posted it on Facebook?
Did she use it to pick her own nose?
Did she use it to give herself a little
clitoral stimulation? How did the
fingertip just end up on the dashboard?
If that's your new dashboard
ornament, that's a weird flex, Anna,
but okay. Now, Anna Lindo
was arrested and refused to be
interviewed by authorities, and she was given a $75,000 bail.
I think it's time before we give out this hee-haw to play a game of Guess What Race It Is!
Now, all right, I didn't show the picture on Revolt because I didn't want to give away what race it is,
but Anna Lindo pulled up on her ex-bae with a brick, bit his fingertip
off, put it on Facebook
and then used it as a dashboard ornament.
Angelie, guess
what race she is?
I'm going to say Hispanic.
Ooh, that's a good one.
Her last name is Anna Lindo.
Mmm.
Her whole name is Anna Lindo.
Yeah, I said Alindo. But also, she sounds very passionate.
And, you know.
Okay.
That's a good guess.
Angelique says Hispanic.
DJ Envy with his new wig.
DJ Envy says...
I don't have a wig.
That's definitely a wig.
There's no way your hair grew that much overnight.
I know, my brother.
Your hair was not like that yesterday.
Ye will get to that at a later time.
I've been watching him all week.
Yesterday, your hair was not like that.
Ye, ye, ye.
And I've been seeing all these man-wees that they glue on.
Ye, ye, ye.
No, you gotta touch it.
I'm excited.
I don't wanna touch it.
I was on him yesterday behind the scenes, but this is ridiculous.
Oh my God, some of it came off.
Boy, you look stupid.
Touch my hair.
Boy, you look stupid.
Touch my hair.
No, I'm not touching that.
I don't know what material that is.
It might give me a rash.
Touch my hair.
Your hair was not like that yesterday. That's not yours. You're not gonna convince me that's yours. I'm not touching that. I don't know what material that is. It might give me a rash. Touch my hair. Your hair was not like that yesterday.
That's not yours.
You're not going to convince me that's yours.
That's yours.
I'm not stupid.
That's going to let my hair grow.
Wait, why are there stitches in the back of your head?
There's no stitches.
Stop it.
People will believe you.
I've been watching him all week.
Look.
We won't get to that.
When did this happen?
It did.
I'm letting my hair grow.
Okay.
Envy.
Anna Lindo.
Pulled up on her ex-boyfriend with a brick.
Bit his fingertip off.
Put it on Facebook. And then used it as a dashboard ornament.
Guess what race she is?
White.
Shake it off.
Shake it off.
All right.
I'm sorry to report that both Angela Yee and DJ Envy are absolutely wrong this morning.
No way.
What is she?
Oh, she's black.
Put her picture up on her phone.
She's black.
Damn, damn, damn.
She could be white.
No, that's black.
She might have one 30-second white.
No, that's black.
She might could put that on her.
No, she's a sister.
Sorry to report this morning.
Actually, that damn, damn, damn thing is very appropriate
because she looks just like Florida Evans. Damn.
Damn, damn.
I would have never guessed that because you said her mom told
on her. I'm like, no black mom's going to tell on her
daughter. She's definitely telling on your daughter if you
find a fingertip on her dashboard.
Okay. I'm upset with myself
for not getting that. You should be upset at yourself for walking around
with that goddamn wig on. There's no wig on my hair!
I let y'all touch it, pull it! It's not a wig!
I'm letting my hair grow! My hair can grow! There's no wig on my hair. I let y'all touch it. Pull it. It's not a wig. I'm letting my hair grow.
My hair can grow.
There's no way
between yesterday and today.
And I'm glad
you realized that.
Like when I get braids in
and people,
that's not my real hair.
He touched it yesterday.
You haven't met me.
I was clowning you yesterday
because I told you
I can't believe
you got that fake stuff
on your head.
There's no fake stuff
on my head.
Touch it.
It's not fake.
Boy, please.
Look, you can still see
my little,
my little,
where I got my...
Boy, if you don't stop
right now.
Touch it. Look, I want you to touch it. Come touch it. I got my. Boy, if you don't stop right now. Touch it.
Look, I want you to touch it.
Come touch it.
Pause.
Y'all really believe that DJ Envy's hair?
Yes.
That's a 47-year-old man who didn't have no hairline three years ago.
And now all of a sudden he got a fan.
I'm letting my hair grow.
All right.
Okay.
My hair can grow.
Yes, sir.
All right, forget y'all.
I'm taking my, I'm letting my.
That's that new stuff they've been doing with men where they actually glue down.
I hope you kept the receipt because it don't even look real.
Pull it.
Pull it.
I want you to pull it.
Pull it.
Is that a...
That's hair.
I got hair in my hand now.
See?
I don't know who you're trying to fool.
We're going to do something before and after.
I'm getting it ready right now.
This is horrible.
I can't believe you.
Oh, yes.
Please give Anna Lindo the sweet sounds and the hammer tones.
Envy got me so distracted.
There's no way you won't come home.
That's my hair.
Of the day.
You are the donkey.
Of the day.
Yee-haw.
Envy going to come in here with Drexel.
For the record, I said it to you yesterday behind the scenes.
Behind the scenes, I said you're going to really walk around with that on your head
and try to make people believe it's natural.
It's not.
It's my hair.
Touch it.
It's my hair.
You can brush it.
It's my hair.
I'm letting my hair grow.
I haven't cut my hair in four weeks.
All right.
You know what?
Everybody just act like we didn't see it.
This is four weeks.
Three weeks.
I haven't let my hair grow.
All right.
So this hair loss recovery program works.
It is.
You know what?
Forget it.
ASCII is next. 800-585-1051. We might want to do a little Ask Emmy for everybody that want to grow their hair. Thanks, I haven't let my hair grow. All right, so this hair loss recovery program works. There is, you know what, forget it.
ASCII is next.
800-585-1051. We might want to do a little Ask Emmy for everybody that want to grow their hair.
You guys are jealous.
I'm letting my hair grow.
I guarantee he'll be doing a hair wig endorsement in about a week.
I won't.
I'm letting my hair.
My son asked me, he was like, Dad, you can't grow your hair?
And I was like, yes, I can.
I can grow my hair.
All you have to do is go to HairVIVI.com and you too can get MV.
This is, look, pull.
That's a wig.
It's not a damn wig.
It's a lace front.
You know what?
People are going to think it because y'all saying it.
Anyway, up next is Ask Ye.
You can call up if you want by.
It's The Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired?
Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country.
I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Ladonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
Why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making rockets with black powder, you know, with explosive warheads.
Oh my god.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

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,

chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys,
and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement
together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when
the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know,

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.

Have grace with yourself.

Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
It's time for Ask Yee.
What line you want to go to, Yee?
Let's do line two.
Hello, who's this?
Hi.
I called in just on the simple fact that I was listening to the interview that you had
with the young lady about sex trafficking.
Mm-hmm.
Yes, and what she went through.
And I, too, am a victim of sex trafficking.
I was involved in it when I was about 17, 18.
And I was involved with it for about two and a half, three years.
And I just want to let her know that she has, you know,
really touched some personal experiences with me.
And I'm 31 now, and I have a child, and I have a happy life.
And I just want women out there to know that if you are still going through it or if you have gone through it, you can overcome it.
And you can become a woman and feel like a woman again and there are good men
out there still who will love you for you and not judge you for what you've been through and
I still have difficult days where I think about the things that I've been through and the things
that happen to me but you know I don't usually listen to the radios in the morning, but for some reason I did this morning,
and I heard what she said,
and I just wanted to call and just let her know
that, you know, she's given me inspiration,
and I just, I felt empowered to call
and just let her know that.
That's great, and I'm glad that you called up
this morning to share that.
If there's anybody who's listening, you know,
and I know this is asky,
but I think that's important for you
to share your own story and to let people know how inspired you felt.
And yes, I'm just glad that you called to let us know that and to let us know how this has helped you to open up about your experience.
I know that the guy that had trafficked me is currently serving time in prison now.
He has been caught and he will be there for a very very long time good and it is hard it is very hard to overcome things like that and
you as a woman you feel degraded you feel disgusting you feel gross you know she said something about they pry on vulnerable
women and that's true because i was young at the time um i've been on my own since i was 14 years
old right i come from um a family where i was molested as a child by my own father you know so
it going through the things that i went through as a child there were times
where i felt like that was all i was put on this earth for right um you know and it is just it is
really hard you know i'm in the process of writing a book about my experience um like i said i i want
to fully come out and let women know you know that no matter what you've gone through, whether it's something like that or whether it's something even worse, you don't have to let that be who you are for the rest of your life.
Right. It does not define you.
And we're so glad to hear that you overcame that.
We can't wait to hear about your book and thank you so much for inspiring other people hopefully to want to come forward tell their stories or to understand that they didn't do anything wrong and that they were indeed
victims for men who were sexual predators who were disgusting human beings so we appreciate
exactly what you feel like for a long time you feel like well i must have did something wrong
or it's my fault and it's not your fault. You know, when you are going through terrible
things and at home or just in general, you know, we as women, we long for love and affection.
And when you don't get that at home, sometimes you go and you find it, but it's not the right
love and affection that you need. And, you know, I just, like you said,
I just want other women to know if you're going through it
or if you've gone through it, please know that you can overcome it.
It may take time.
You know, it's not going to happen overnight,
but you can get through it.
And, you know, like I said, I have a happy relationship.
I've been with my husband for 9 years
I have a 5 year old son
and you know
and we can hear him in the background
yes that is him
well thank you so much for sharing with us this morning
we love you and we appreciate you thank you
well I think you guys are doing
a great thing and I just
please let her know that she
she inspired me so I her know that she inspired me.
So I know that if she inspired me, hopefully she inspires other women too.
And I just had to call and let you guys know that.
All right, well, thank you, and don't hesitate to hit us up at Breakfast Club AM at Gmail
when you have that book ready.
I will. Thank you so much. Y'all have a great day.
You too.
All right, ask Yee, 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, hit Yee now. It's The Breakfast Club. I will. Thank you so much. Y'all have a great day. You too. Alright. Ask Yee.
800-585-1051. If you need relationship
advice, hit Yee now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ
Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne
the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle
of Ask Yee. Hello. Who's this?
Hey, good morning. How you doing?
I'm doing great.
Hey, what's your question for Yee?
Not really a question, but I am single female from Brooklyn.
Okay.
I was wondering if you had any advice for me as to trying to do bigger things
as far as getting in a good relationship with a guy that has some coins, some good coins on him.
So you just want to get with a guy with some money?
Yeah, I do, because I'm a single female from Brooklyn.
I look okay, and I got a good old job,
but I just can't seem to stick with somebody that's, like, you know.
You know they have whole websites for that.
I knew you were going to say that.
You know they do, because here's the problem, right?
If that's what you want and you know what it is right now,
I just want to point out that
first of all, you can get very fooled by people
out here, okay, who you think
have it like that and they really don't.
Why don't you go to Christian Mingle? Find somebody that's really into you.
But anyway,
they have all kinds of sugar. You want to be a sugar baby?
Something like that. I'm only 31.
Alright, so you're looking for a sugar daddy.
So forget love.
You're just all about your bread, huh?
You have to be because, you know, you want to make sure that you secure the bag first.
I mean, love is love, but you got to secure the bag first.
Find love first.
I'm sorry.
This is asking you.
No, no, no.
It's not about that no more.
So what's a lot of money to you?
Well, I don't make a lot.
I mean, I'm decent. $80,000 a year, that's not a lot of money to you? Well, I don't make a lot. I mean, I'm decent.
$80,000 a year, that's not a lot.
That's good.
I mean, I want somebody that's at least $150,000 to $200,000.
All right.
Somebody that can help me get on my feet as much as I need to be.
Do you care what he looks like or his personality?
Personality definitely has to shine.
How much do you make, Steve?
Not so crazy. I don't want you to be like, oh, these settings like that. personality definitely has to shine how much you make Steve? look
not so crazy
I don't want you to be like
OZ spattering like that
like I'm not
well yeah Steve is here
what about a white guy?
oh nah
I work with him all day
I'm good on that
sorry Steve
don't worry
look
I'm not gonna tell her
not to go after
what it is that she wants
to go after
they have mixers
and everything in New York
since you in Brooklyn
for sugar babies and sugar daddies
to meet each other.
Like I said, they have all these websites.
They have sugarbabies.co
and all of that.
If that's really what you're looking
for, then I think
the websites might be
the best way to go.
They have matchmaking services
but you have to pay for that. What about Latino?
So if you want to go on a matchmaking service,
they'll actually vet... I've never had one
before. They'll actually vet these people
out for you to make sure that it is
what they say it is. What about Latino?
Is he cute?
Is he cute? He ain't got no muscles
still, why not? Yeah, he's kind
of cute. He ain't got no muscles, though. He got a beard.
Do you make over $200,000 in dramas?'t got no muscles though. He got a beard. Do you make over 200,000 dramas?
Nah, nah, nah.
He got to work out.
She don't even make over 200,000.
What she asking
how much other people make?
What,
are you trying to be a sugar baby?
But you know what?
You can check
when the draft comes in town,
you know,
when the NBA players
or Major League Baseball
or NFL,
when they come in town,
you start looking for them.
Okay,
that sounds good.
That sounds good.
Listen,
y'all are crazy.
Thank you so much.
We crazy.
All right. I get crazy too. Listen, y'all are crazy. Thank you so much. We crazy. All right.
I get crazy, too.
Listen, I go to the juice bar sometimes, Angelina, so I pass by there a lot.
We have some guys in there that make some money.
And look, I want to also advise that you read my girl Passport Cuddy's book, The M in Man
is for Money.
Okay.
M in Man is for Money?
Yes.
That's actually, if you follow Passport Cuddy, she talks about that all the time, about finding guys that, yes, the M&M is for money.
So I know I'm not on it like that, but there's people who are, and there's some guys that love to trick on women.
So y'all would be a match made in heaven.
Got you.
Thank you so much.
All right.
Good luck, girl.
Come by the juice bar.
If it works out, you know, give me a commission.
You guys have a good day
bye
you too now
alright
ask Yee
800-585-1051
if you need relationship advice
or any type of advice
call Yee
now we got rumors on the way
well yes
we are going to shout out
Nicki Minaj
because you know
her Fendi Prince
on collection
dropped yesterday
but in addition to that
the internet was going crazy
about a potential
collaboration
that Nicki Minaj might be doing.
We'll give you an update on whether or not that was just a joke.
All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
On The Breakfast Club.
So, Nicki Minaj did an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
And by the way, shout out to her for her new Fendi prints online that is available now.
And she was talking about Adele.
All right.
So listen to this.
Is there an Adele Nicki something could be in the works?
Would you do it if she asked?
Yes and yes.
Yes and yes.
But Adele made me swear to secrecy that I'm not allowed to tell anyone
that I'm working with her
and we already shot a video
and it's an epic song.
Well, apparently she was just joking around.
She said, oh my God, guys,
I thought everyone could clearly see
I was being sarcastic-ish.
Now I have to go to Adele's studio
and steal some files.
Who's in the UK?
I got a job for you.
So maybe it is going to actually happen now,
a collaboration with Nicki Minaj and Adele.
Would you be here for that?
Yeah, why not?
Yeah.
I'm not interested.
I'm not going to say.
I mean, I'm not against it,
but I'm not going to act like I'm excited.
I like when people venture outside of, you know,
their comfort zone.
I don't think that's outside of either one of their comfort zones.
I think that Nicki has shown
that she can damn near do
any genre of music she chooses to.
Yeah, but I would have never
thought to myself,
oh, Nicki Minaj and Adele
are doing a song together.
So I like that when people are,
I don't even know
if they know each other.
So, yeah.
I think that'd be cool.
Mm-hmm.
All right, now let's talk
about Jonah Hill.
He was supposed to be
playing the villain
in the upcoming Matt Reeves directed film, The Batman.
But now they're reporting that the talks have broken down and he's not going to do it anymore.
So we told you already, Zoe Kravitz is joining the cast and she'll be playing the role of Selina Kyle, a.k.a. Catwoman.
But now it looks like it's just not happening for Jonah Hill.
That's probably very time consuming.
And that's a lot of pressure, man,
because them superhero movies,
especially a movie like that,
they be under so much scrutiny.
Nobody got that time for that kind of stress, man.
Well, they've been talking about Seth Rogen
playing the Penguin.
Oh, God.
Who said, oh, God?
What's wrong with that?
I don't know if y'all saw this, right?
And this is just a sidebar,
but there was a kid who had a fake ID,
20 years old, and the ID name was McLovin.
So when the cop came up to him in the bar, he had a drink in his hand and his ID said McLovin.
And so I just thought that was pretty funny.
If you've seen Superbad, then you understand that reference.
That was his fake ID, McLovin.
All right, now let's discuss Dave East.
You heard the story about him having an issue with the threesome in Vegas.
And he actually sat down and did an
interview. My girl L'Oreal's on this one
and he talked about
what really happened with this threesome
gone wrong. I first came in the room. I put all my jewelry next to my bed on that little dresser. Shorty was trying to **** on this guy, my daughter, and this was on him.
So I'm like, what are you doing?
I don't know you.
Like, what are you doing?
She's like, I don't know.
And then her friend called out.
I said, first of all, I didn't say y'all was trying to steal.
Why you say that?
Matter of fact, y'all get your ****, get out.
Shorty threw three bottles at me, cut my arm, my leg, all that.
Got the phone, I'm gonna speak before him.
Come in, all that.
I'm screaming the **** out, all that. So to the cops, it felt like they were trying to steal his jewelry.
They were playing with his stuff, you know, that was in the bathroom.
And I don't know if they were trying to take his stuff,
but you can't just go trying on people's jewelry.
Hey, my brothers, man, find you one woman and settle down and build.
All right?
It's too dangerous
out here in the streets
messing around
with all these random chicks.
You don't know who's who.
You don't know
what their motives are.
You don't know
what their intentions are.
I think Dave East
is enjoying his celebrity
right now.
That celebrity can cost you.
He's a young brother.
It don't matter.
That celebrity can cost you.
And he was in a relationship
before this,
so maybe now he's just like, I want to have
some fun.
At least he's single.
You got to be smart.
You know what I'm saying?
Learn from the mistakes of other people, man.
The faster and sooner you can find one woman to be with and settle down, the better.
But you have to go through some stuff, too.
Let him go through what he's got to go through.
You got to fix up sometimes, too.
Why?
Listen, Envy, how long have you been married?
18 years, brother.
I've been with my wife 23 years.
Smart people learn from their own mistakes.
Wise people learn from the mistakes of others.
What's wrong with giving the man advice?
Why are we arguing against somebody finding one person?
I'm not arguing, but if he hasn't found somebody that he wants to settle down with,
you can't force him to do that.
I said, brothers, the best piece of advice I can give you is to find one woman and settle down.
I don't see what's wrong with that.
All right, well, I'm Angela Yee,
and that is your rumor report.
All right, thank you, Ms. Yee.
Now, when we come back,
we got a brand new record from Jaded Kiss.
It's called Me.
It's released tomorrow.
They told me this is the last record
that Kiss and Ice Pick,
which was his manager and friend,
did together.
God bless Ice Pick.
Yes, absolutely. So we'll get that on next, and Revolt, we'll, did together. God bless Ice Pick. Yes, absolutely.
So we'll get that on next and Revolt will see you tomorrow.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Mix is up next.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, shout out to Centoria Brown for joining us this morning.
Yes, I really, when I first saw her and she walked in, I was like, I just got to give her a hug.
Man, everything that she's been through.
Absolutely. I mean give her a hug. Man, everything that she's been through. Absolutely.
I mean, what a story.
And the fact that she's pushing and doing God's work right now,
trying to encourage these young women and help these young women.
That's what I took from it.
I mean, you could really see God moving in both their lives.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, the fact that that young brother had just a feeling to reach out to her,
and he did.
And they've been together for three years while she was in jail.
I don't know.
I just see God moving through them.
Absolutely.

It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, Charlamagne, you got a positive note for the people?
Yes, sir. First, I want to tell
everybody, I'm going to be at South Carolina State this weekend.
I'm going to be there, too. Yeah, you're going to be there, too.
On Monday, I'm going to be
at Winthrop University
in Rock Hill, South Carolina
with Marianne Williamson and Michelle
Williams. We're having a whole conversation
about mental health.
You know, I keep telling everyone the way to
eradicate the stigma around mental health
is to tell our story,
and that's what the event is called,
Tell Your Story.
And it's free to get in, free food, free conversation.
So I'll see you at Winthrop University
from 2 to 4 p.m. on, what is that, the 28th?
Mm-hmm.
Yes, October 28th.
Z.com, I'm going to work from Monday.
I'm going to broadcast from out there.
That's 10 days from now.
Oh. But this weekend, I'm kicking off my lip service tour
in Philly, so I'm excited for that on Sunday, and then
Monday in New York City, and then the whole
tour starts the week after that, so I'm
really hyped for us to, for the first time ever,
take lip service on the road, and I can
now say that in Philly, we did confirm
Partisan Fontaine to be on lip service
live with the ladies, so if you're going to
come out to the show in Philly,
shout out to everybody that's going to be participating.
TJ Adams, DJ Diamond Cuts,
Young Chris,
and also DJ A Boogie
is going to be the DJ for that show.
Okay. All right. Well, Shalem, you got a positive note?
Yes, sir. Change your perceptions
and your emotions will follow.
Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag.
This is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
