People watch The Breakfast Club, bitches. The voice of the culture. People watch The Breakfast Club for, like, news and really be tuned in. It's one of my favorite shows to do. Just because y'all always keep it 100, y'all keep it real. They might not watch the news, but they're on Twitter. They're on Facebook. They're, you know, they're listening to The Breakfast Club. Get your ass up.

I don't know how to work this thing. Yes, it's Friday. That's too loud? Oh, my goodness. Yes, it's too loud. You know what? I'll back up. Maybe if I back up.

Let me see now. It's Friday. What studio are you in? It sounds like my mama's basement, bro. I might be in a basement. I'm in the 843. I'm in Charleston, South Carolina. That's all that needs to be disclosed right now.

Okay. I was here since yesterday because we had Mayor Pete in Monk's Corner, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and we had a conversation about economic equality, specifically how to empower the black community economically. And I had him at a black-owned establishment in Monk's Corner, a black-owned restaurant and lounge called Atlantis Seafood. So we had a great conversation yesterday. It sounds like you had some great food, too. Oh, man, I had some good food at this place called the Slaughterhouse Barbecue and

Brew in Latchin, South Carolina. It's owned by a brother named Nigel. He also has a spot called Nigel's Good Food, too. Nigel's Good Food, too. It's a soul food restaurant, but he got the barbecue spot right next to it. And yes, I had some good food that absolutely made me feel bad because I had pulled barbecue chicken,

some smash mashed potatoes, barbecue meatloaf. Man, it was amazing. You ate all that, huh? I definitely ate all of that. My goodness. I ain't gonna lie to you. Alright, well, he and I are out in L.A. He and I are out in L.A. for the Grammys. Last night I did

a party for Bob Marley. It was his 75th anniversary, so his son performed all of his songs, and he brought out a bunch of guests. He brought out Coffee. He brought out Ella Mai. He brought out Wyclef Jean and Melissa Etheridge.

That's her name, right? Yeah, Melissa Etheridge. And brought out Melissa Etheridge. It was a dope show. I had the DJs, so it was a great, great event. Shout to Amazon and shout to the Marley family. I met so many Marley's yesterday. This person's kid.

I met Lauren's son. I met, it was so many kids. Shout to Rohan. He was there. I had a great time. Just vibing out, man. I had a really, really good time. What were you doing, Ye?

I went to this Grit Before the Gram inaugural Grammy week event. It was honoring women in this business. One of them was publicity veteran Yvette Noel Shore and songwriter Nesha Charles. Okay.

She's a seven-time Grammy-nominated writer and she's only 22 years old. That's dope. Yeah, so I was at that. And then I went to the Warner Music party before the Grammys.

Lizzo performed, Burner Boy performed. Mm-hmm. And then I slept for like 40 minutes and now we're here. Yes, absolutely. Well, let's Burner Boy performed. And then I slept for like 40 minutes and now we're here. Yes, absolutely. Well, let's get this show cracking.

Am I good now? What my levels look like now? What my levels look like in the studio? You sound good. What are we talking about? Scream. Why did I scream whenever you told me to scream? I don't know. That's wild. I guess you guys are used to that. You might be right. Scream.

There you go. Do you want me to say your name, too? No. No, please don't. Let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, we'll talk about Debra Dugan. She went on Good Morning America, as we told you before, and she talked about what was

going on with the Grammys. You know, she was the first female head of the National Academy of Recording Arts. But now she's saying the Grammys are rigged. And also she has some sexual harassment claims. All right. We'll get into all that when we come back. Don't move. And Dame Dash will be joining us this morning.

Dame Dash, Dusko Poppington. That's one of our most classic Breakfast Club interviews. Absolutely. If I had to go back in the Breakfast Club catalog and pick one that I know people really enjoyed, that would be one of them. So this is part two. Yeah, he went off last time. So we'll see what happens today, all right? 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. Let's get in some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? What we talking about?

Well, the Grammys are this weekend on Sunday, and there's a lot of controversy behind the scenes. Now, we've been talking about Debra Dugan. She was the chief of the Recording Academy, and she is now on leave. She has filed a 46-page complaint. She said the Grammys are rigged. There's gender bias and harassment. And, you know, she was placed on administrative leave just last week. So,

she was on a couple of different shows. She was on Good Morning America and she was also on CBS this morning and Gayle King was asking her about the rigging and here's what she had to say. In that room, not only are there trustees that have conflict of interest on particular artists that are nominated but more importantly, interest on particular artists that are nominated?

But more importantly, there are even artists that are nominated that are in the room. It's mostly white male that are in those rooms that make these decisions. And there's conflict of interest. So let's say if you represented that artist, you have a financial gain if they, of course, get nominated for a Grammy. I keep telling y'all, wherever there's a system where it's a bunch of old white men, it's always going to be some type of problem. There's always going to be some type of racial bias, gender bias. She said she did want to make changes from within. And that was her whole purpose in what she was doing.

She said, I can make a difference. I can fix this. I can work with this team but that did not end up happening now she also says that she was sexually harassed by music lawyer Joel Katz he's also the Academy's general counsel and a former board member and here's what she had to say when she was on Good Morning America under the guise of a work dinner I was propositioned by the general counsel, an entertainment lawyer of enormous, enormous power in the industry.

Mr. Katz. Yes. He categorically denies those allegations, says you got the dinner completely wrong. Yes, well, starting with calling me babe and saying how attractive I was and pretty I was. You know, the evening went on to trying to kiss me and all the way through, I felt like I was being tested in how much would I acquiesce.

All right. Now, the Academy did offer a statement to Good Morning America. They said Ms. Dugan was placed on administrative leave only after offering to step down and demanding $22 million from the Academy, which is a not-for-profit organization. So they're saying the timing of all this is concerning to them. In other words, she was trying to get money from them, and she was placed on leave, and that's when she brought up all these allegations, according to the Academy.

The Academy needs to understand that the rest of us have eyes, and we have ears, too, so we see the bias. You know what I mean? The Grammys suck. They are culturally clueless. Like, we knew this when Macklemore beat Kendrick, when Adele album beat Beyoncé for Lemonade. Like, we've seen this throughout the years over and over and over.

So she's not too far off of what she's saying. I don't know if it's a bias, but they're definitely culturally clueless. All right. Well, last 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.

Maybe you haven't slept yet. Or maybe you feel energized and happy because it's Friday. Whatever it may be. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. 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.

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.

Yo, what's going on, guys? Yo, but can I give a shout out? I just started YouTube, and my YouTube channel is the JMS Family. So don't try to subscribe to my channel and show some love because we do a bunch of things. I have two girlfriends and both of my two girlfriends are on their YouTube channel.

Their YouTube page, not the YouTube page, Instagram, is underscore, underscore babydolls with a Z at the end underscore underscore. I bet your girlfriend's cheating on you. Yeah, and that wasn't a shout out. That was called promo and marketing, sir. That's exactly

what that was. Can I do some promo and marketing? Goodbye. I'm just happy. Congratulations, sir. Alright. Hello, who's this? What up, though? This is Thomas. Thomas, what up, though? Get it off your chest. What up, though?

Hey, man, I called y'all last year because I was having some racial problems in Ohio. But my neighbor on the 4th of July actually threw dog poop from her lawn while she was having a party to my lawn. What? Because she thought my dog pooped on her lawn. Now, in my subdivision, we military. My wife's military. And in my subdivision, there's like 1,000 dogs. It's white people.

So you know white people love dogs. Black people love dogs, too. Yeah, they do, too. So it was a mistake. So she just assumed that, okay, there's poop on my lawn. So I'm going to just throw it over there. So I come out there, and all these people are security officers. I know them because I go on base and I see them so I get up there I'm like I walk out the house and one dude stopped me like can I help you I'm like dog do you live here get

out of my way so I go to the lady and she still got poop in her hand and a little shovel about to throw it I'm like what are you doing she's like you know what I'm doing I'm like I don't know what you're doing I can't fight you because you're a woman. And they was having like a little slip and slide game. So all in all, it was just like a big harassment. And it just felt like... Can I ask you a question?

Why didn't you just have a conversation with her and say my dog didn't poop on your lawn? Oh, oh, brother, I did. I did. But in the altercation, it was like she just knew it was. So, like, you know, we had this big altercation, and two weeks later, she comes in like, hey, Thomas,

I just want to say sorry. I was acting like a B. I'm like, no, I need that same energy that you came with throwing poop on my lawn. I need you to make me a cake that I won't eat because you're white, and you probably don't know how to cook like that. My goodness.

Well, I'm glad that cooler heads eventually prevailed, man. Oh, man, I wanted to fight her man if he was about it, but, you know, they was all drunk, man. But I'm saying white people act right, man. It's the side. Did you throw the poop back on her lawn? Yeah, I wanted to so bad. I wanted to, like, poop in a bucket, and a bucket and we was going to have like a poop war.

You know what I'm saying? Y'all are crazy, man. I was about it, man. But hey, man, y'all doing y'all thing, man. I love y'all, man. Yee, thank you for what y'all doing, Detroit. Yeah. Shout out to the 313.

So it'll be financial people there that can get you some loans, credit repair people, attorneys, agents, and they're going to be breaking it down, man. Now, Envy, I've been to a lot of seminars before, okay? And I was wondering, is there going to be like any upsell I should be prepared for, anything like that, man, or is it really from start to flip? You know how they do, man.

You know, they got to charge you $20,000, $30,000 more, right? Yeah, that's what I heard. No, we don't do that. No, there's no upcharges. Everybody you get to talk to is free. There's no extra.

We need a second opinion. She says she doesn't fart. Yeah, all right. Present more evidence. Rumors when we come back. And don't forget Dame Dash next hour. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee. it's about time what's going on rumor report rumor report this is the rumor report talk to with angela yee on the breakfast club well kodak black's been having some problems in his correctional facility that he's in right now he said in miami it was a living hell and he says the correctional officers are the reason for that he's been speaking out about his alleged mistreatment.

He's been posting about it. He said he was drugged. He was beaten, denied food and other privileges and all of that. Well, it looks like he will be out of jail on or around August 14th, 2022. They said he could get out a few days earlier because the 14th falls on a Sunday. So normally they'll let you out if their release date falls on a weekend a little before that. He's also going to be transferred. So he's currently being transferred to a federal prison in

Oklahoma City before he ends up in federal prison in Kentucky. So that's where we're at right now. He's also hired Benjamin Crump and his mother was really devastated by everything that's been happening and she said this. If my son dies, I'm gonna to kill myself too.

Please, please, I need help. Benjamin Crump has stepped up to the plate. Yeah, Ben Crump, he out here multitasking, huh? He's fighting for people in Flint. He's fighting for Kodak Black. And we really have to make correctional facilities real correction facilities. We really have to correct people. Are we trying to make these people reformed citizens, or are we trying to make correctional facilities real correction facilities. We really have to correct people. Are we trying to make these people reform citizens?

Are we trying to make them more savage? We should allow them to learn a trade that they can use when they come home to get a job, let them get an education that can help them get a job when they come home. Let's really try to reform people and correct them in these correctional facilities. All right. Now, Lil Wayne has announced he has a new album, Funeral. We've been talking about this album. It was supposed to be out before the end of last year.

Right. Now he put out a date. It says January 31st. So he put that on his Instagram page. So it looks like that's happening really soon. Yeah, I'm excited to hear that album. Yeah, listen, I'm going to always check for Lil Wayne music because Lil Wayne is a whole legend.

But, I mean, he's let me down over recent years. But I'm going to always check for him just because of his history, you know? All right, well's let me down over recent years, but I'm always check for him just because of his history, you know? Alright, well, let's move some more into Louisiana. Boosie and NBA Young Boy, they have a joint album coming out, so that should sound pretty good, the two of them together.

They both like to I mean, I could see that. It sounds like a nice synergy between the two of them, right? Yeah, I think it'd be a great album. I love the fact that record labels don't have to press up CDs or records anymore. You got to wait a month or 60, 90 days. People could just do an album and put it out. I love that.

I love that. I love the fact that artists don't give a damn about record labels. Boosie and NBA Youngboy ain't ask no permission to do that. Nope. They just went and did it. Well, I'm sure they had to get permission if they're putting it out on those platforms. I'm sure they gotta get clearance. Yeah. Don't get that twisted. They gotta get the clearance. Now, Boosie did share a song

snippet in his Instagram stories while he was in the car with Youngboy on Wednesday night, and that's when he said the album is coming soon. Mm-hmm. Alright. All right. Now, Wendy Williams has addressed what's happening with this whole farting situation. If you recall, everybody said that she farted during the show and just act like nothing happened. That cop wasn't playing that. I mean,

you're lucky you only got battery. You heard that, right? That was a fart, man. Do we need to normalize this so you can hear it? Yeah, let's play it in HD, please. That cop wasn't playing that. I mean, you're lucky you only got battery. Wellendy williams has felt the

need to address this whole situation and she said that she's never farted on the show i don't lean over like this to release a fart i'm leaning over like this because it's comfortable you know if i sit like this all the time you know it's heavy on my. I have never farted once on this show. Anyway, it went viral, and I was like, no, because I would have made a big deal. Like, if I farted, I would have definitely been laughed. Because farts are always funny. By the sound of that fart, I would have had to go change my costume. All right, well, there's a valid explanation for all of this, and she actually called in a lifeline to explain what happened.

I'm like, Bernie, I got to do Fartgate. And so he said, Wendy, I saw it, it's so stupid. Clearly, you know, there's somebody who superimposed the sound. My trusty Steve, John Anderson. John? Yeah. John, are you around? Yeah.

Because John knows stuff. But Kate the chemist was here. That was on Kate the chemist's day. Okay, John. Right, so we were doing an experiment out here with a tank. It's called air gas. And we didn't have the proper hose. And the air was just coming out. And it was sputtering like somebody was farting.

Oh, my God. You farted, girl. You farted. Let me tell you something. Farts aren't funny without context. When you was young, yes. but as an adult, no. People who fart in their clothes are disgusting. Men who fart around other men are flirting.

Wendy farting on live TV and blaming it on Bill Nye, the science guy. Hilarious. Hilarious. Yeah, she, I think, you know, it's okay. You farted. She did. She let one go. Now, let's all be honest here.

Between the three of us, has anybody ever farted during this show? It's been almost 10 years. I don't fart in my clothes. Hell yes. I did it numerous times. I'm about to do it right now. So, Charlamagne, you're with Wendy. I don't fart in my clothes.

I don't fart in my clothes. I've been telling y'all this for years. You fart in your clothes. When you're driving, you got to pass gas. Would you hop out and pull down your pants? Let me ask you a question. How do you know I fart in my clothes? You ever been in my ass?

Ask me that again. That's what you get. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. There you go with that damn agenda, Envy. You know me. Yeah, we got front page news we're talking about.

Well, I'll tell you what doctors are begging y'all not to do anymore. And when I say y'all, I mean men. Oh! What are they begging us not to do, ye? What's wrong with y'all this morning? I'm not messing with y'all. I mean men. Oh, my goodness.

Front page news is next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news.

Where we starting, Yee? Doctors are asking for you men to please stop masturbating with banana pills. All right? Who does that? Apparently, a lot of people do it. And one person said it's the closest thing to oral sex. He's been doing it for years. And according to Dr. Diana Gill, she said you could develop

a rash, you could get sores on your penis, which could be painful and might lead to infection. They said a person with a fruit or latex allergy could be more susceptible to a reaction from banana skin. So please stop doing that, you guys. All of you that are using these banana skins. I never heard of that, Yee. Sounds intriguing

though, right? So they masturbate with banana skin. So they would be called a Chiquita Beaters, right? Maybe? That's not what they're calling it. Pounding the potassium, maybe? Well, it's just the skin, so it's not the actual meat of the banana. Well, who would try that? Like, they'd wrap the skin around and just start moving?

Like, that feels good? I don't know who would try it, but I know next time I make a protein shake and I'm about to throw that banana peel away, I'm going to think about it. You're going to think about it one time? I'm going to think about it. You're going to think about it one time? I'm going to think about it. God damn it. All right. Now, Tinder has come up with some more safety-focused updates for users.

So if you're on Tinder and you're concerned about things, they've teamed up with the personal safety app Noonlight that connects you to personal emergency services. They also have photo verification now, and they have an in-app safety center so for instance photo verification ensures that every match is who they say they are so people can self-authenticate through a series of real-time posted selfies and then they compare them to existing profile photos using artificial intelligence technology so that's how you get verified then you get a blue check mark so members can trust that the person that you say you are is who you really are. They're going to test that in select markets. Now they're also detecting whether or not an offensive message has been sent. They have this thing called, does this bother you? And if you respond, yes,

then you will have the option to report that person for their behavior. And then that'll be also marked as well gotta be safe out here if you're doing all this online dating right yeah because um well you guys have never had the opportunity to do that i would assume nope all right now harvey weinstein uh his trial is continuing and now uh the women that are speaking out they have identified the women who are planning to testify against him. There's several actresses, a production assistant,

and a script writer. They're all expected to be in court. At least 100 women have publicly accused him of sexual abuse, but the vast majority are not taking part in this trial. They're in New York State right now. They're only going to hear six of these women. So they want to make sure people know

that he's not harmless, that he's actually a very dangerous sexual predator and um we have more information on who these women are one of them is annabella sioria from the sopranos if you guys know who she is she first publicly accused him in 2017 in a story in the new yorker and she didn't tell police about the alleged attack and he continued to sexually harass her for years afterward according to her article that she did there. I hope Harvey has secured the rights to this trial because

this is going to make a great documentary movie scripted series one day. Can he even do that? Can he have the rights to this? I don't know. I don't know that if he gets convicted that he can't profit off of it, right? If he gets convicted, I don't think he could profit off of it. No, I don't think so I don't know that if he gets convicted that he can't profit off of it, right? If he gets convicted, I don't think he could profit off of it. No, I don't think so, no.

You let a company put it out and, you know, send the money to a Swiss bank account somewhere, you know? Yeah, I'm sure that could happen now. All right, well, that is your front page news. All right, now, when we come back, Dame Dash will be joining us. A man who allegedly smacked Harvey Weinstein one time. Yeah, so we'll talk to Dame Dash. I say allegedly because that's just a rumor. We can ask him about it. Yeah, we'll talk to that. We'll talk to him when we come

back. Alright, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club and he's back. Dusko Poppington. Dame Dash is back in the building. What's going on?

What's up, my brother? You back in New York? Yeah, I'm back warrantless. Warrantless. How does that feel? You know, it feels good. I get to see my son again and all that. And I got reasons to be here, so, you know, I'm in court.

That goofball Chris Brown, the lawyer, you know, he has like three frivolous cases against me, and I'm going to try out for one of them, but like a copyright infringement bubblegum. And he's a goofball in court, so I'm doing that. So after this, I got to go right to court. I'm on the stand today. I have no idea who Chris Brown is.

I just know that you go so hard at him on Instagram. I mean... He was killing him this week about his clothes. Yeah, I mean, like I said, he's just lying. They all trying to rob me. And, you know, then he's trying to, like, compromise my name, try to do the Me Too thing, but what's scary is, like, people are actually lying now, you know what I mean? Like, straight, I'm like

a target all of a sudden, so I be scared of everybody because they don't tell the truth. That's why it's a good thing I always have cameras on. What do you think the reason for that is? Why are they talking in... I'm the bank, bro. I'm the bank. It's scary right now. You know, a lot of things that I've been speaking about have come to fruition. So, you know, the last time I was here, I was telling you what it's going to

look like now, and it does. You know, the part about me having a television network, the streaming, being your own boss, being independent, you guys look healthy, all of those things. Thank you. I'm not confronting you. You know, we all look healthy, so I think we've all

evolved since these conversations. And, you know, because of that, a lot of people that were saying I was crazy are now looking crazy. And, you know, we all look healthy, so I think we've all evolved since these conversations. And, you know, because of that, a lot of people that were saying I was crazy are now looking crazy. And, you know, they always have to overcompensate and have some kind of cover-up, and that's what happens. So you try to make a good guy look bad. Has it always been like that for you? Like, has it always, you've always been a target? I always see the future. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, when you're always helping people and no one helps you, yeah. Like, if you're the bank, if someone comes to your bank and they don't have nothing and you got everything, they only have something to gain. So what happens is they might come to the bank and if they can't get nothing out the bank, then they start pretending that I did something I didn't so that they can't. But, you know, that's part of the game. You know what I mean? So, you know, I'm in court during the day. You know, I'm a chairman of the board during the day. You know, I handle my business. The television network is popping. You know, I got the Comcast the day. You know, I'm a chairman of the board during the day. You know, I handle my business.

The television network is popping. You know, I got the Comcast deal. I'm waiting for that paperwork. I'm going to see Charter in Connecticut. And now I can get back to what I really love. So during the night, I'm a rock star. So I decided to do a rock album. So I'm just having fun doing what I want during the night.

But I love making music, actually. That's what I've been loving lately. Now, for people that don't know about your platform, explain how your platform works, because you own it, people subscribe, and it's not just music. You have content. Explain a little bit about the platform. It's like Netflix, you know, but the thing is I don't outsource,

so I own all the cameras. So I have original programming, so they're scripted. You know, Rocky has a cooking show. We have our own Anthony Bourdain where we run around the world. Like I said, we went to Thailand, went to China. We taped all that. Honor Up. I got a new television show that I just directed and starred in

and Rocky's in it as well called Dressed to Kill. So we have the music. We have the movies. We have everything. But basically what I'm doing is we have a point of view. We're capturing culture. And it's about us taking care of ourselves, everything I've been talking about, you know, it's about therapy. We got therapy shows. We're doing politics. So, you know, I'm now using my platform to have real

power to make change. And I think it's important as a culture that we have to understand the distractions, right? When we go to school, they say, yo, they got teams for sports. And they say you can either be a rapper or DJ DJ, or you can play sports. And everybody invests in that. And that's like lotto. Not everybody gets that slot. But if you don't get that slot, what else you got? What else do you have to get out of that 99%?

So why they don't teach us how to be politicians? Why they don't teach us how to pass laws? Why we don't give the people the platforms? Like I talk a lot to Congressman Andre Carson, and every day he's fighting, but no one knows who he is. He's black, he's in Congress, and our subject in hip-hop, because that's the power. We have to understand, like, we're the 99%.

1% needs the 99% to do everything. So if the 99% just stuck together, the 1% can't do nothing. We got power. So we need to start leveraging our power the right way. Instead of talking about bubble gum, let's figure out how to pass laws, how to lobby, why they don't train us to be politicians when we kids. Why there's no teams for that? Because we don't make it look cool.

Like all that other shit looks cool. There's not in school. Like you got to think about it. This pisses me off about the curriculum in school. I've been to school. They didn't teach me nothing besides math and how to read that I need to apply to my life today. They didn't teach me how to pay taxes. They didn't teach me how to go full.

They're teaching me about pi and algebra, and I don't need that. I'm not a scientist. And whoever wants to be could do that, but they should be teaching us how to code. They're teaching us another person's history. So any law that was made when people had slaves should be changed. It's logical, right? Absolutely. So most of the laws was made about 150 years, you know, between 150 years ago. All those

people made laws to control people, not physically, but mentally. And the patterns that we're born into reflect that. We're born into thinking we got to get up at a certain time, be happy to be given a job. We're trained to sit down for eight hours a day when the sun is out from when we're kids. Yeah, I agree with you. I took my daughter. My daughter's going to college next year, and we were going from college to college,

and she wants to get into real estate, and there's no curriculum that teaches kids how to invest in real estate. I see you've been doing that. Your man was in my gallery. Yeah, Flea, Cesar. Yeah, yeah. And I agree with you with the curriculum, but with your platform,

are you purchasing shows as well or is it just particularly your content? Not right now. Right now, that's the problem when you outsource, you know, that's where the scam comes in.

When you're paying people to do stuff, that's when they make up jobs and stuff like that. So me, because I'm putting up the bread, I know every potato chip that gets eaten.

And I get a lot more bang for my buck. That's why people be trying to rob eaten. And I get a lot more bang for my buck. That's why people be trying to rob. And I cut out the middleman completely so I can get a lot more for my money. So I can get 10 episodes for 70 racks. So you could order it. It's on your phone. It's just like Netflix and you can put it right next to Netflix. And again, we have over the air in Charlotte, um, channel like 42.1. And I was just doing that to showcase the fact that I can do 24 hours of television programming. So not only is it a streaming service, there's DTV, which is 24 hours. So online, you can go to DTV.com.

That's what it is, right? Yeah, DTV24hours.com if you want to see it. But we're about to be distributed. You know, like I said, I'm going to meet with all the distributors. It's a good time to be black, have a point point of view and have content and be wanting to evolve what made you want to get into being in front of the music game like why you want to be an artist now i'm not i am an artist i don't want to be an artist my art is business but i could do everything but at the end of the day i'm not trying to be an artist for money i'm doing it for love that's the only way to do it really

i do the television network for me like i said i'm the chairman of the board during the day i'm a rock star at night is it therapeutic for you in a way hell yeah it's the only way to do it, really. I do the television network for me. Like I said, I'm the chairman of the board during the day. I'm a rock star at night. Is it therapeutic for you in a way? Hell yeah. It's the best in the world. Like, you know, Rocky and I were having, you know, we were pregnant. We lost a baby. The day, you know, seven and a half months. We wore that well. Nobody even knew it. Yeah, up.

And that day, I made a record called Warrior. You know, I was able to feel my pain, see my pain, hear my pain, and I could capture it. So the record I gave you was Line Them Up, right? So that's what I do. I look at my problems. I brace my face. If I get hit, I get hit, but I'm hitting back. I want the problems. I want the smoke because I know that's the only way to evolve. You can't get better without struggle. You can't be great without being uncomfortable. So I push myself to that, and that comes with struggle. It comes with fight. And when you fighting for love, then everybody that fights for hate comes at you. So I'm all right with it because love is stronger than everything.

So line those problems up so I can shut the f*** down. And the other one is like kind of smooth as window shopping. And, you know, I got a girl. And I ain't going to lie. I don't cheat on my girl. And when girls be stepping to me, I be like, yo, I'm not cheating on my girl. But if you can convince her, you know,

we'll do it together. You know what I'm saying? But, you know, some girls respect it. You know what I mean? And if I get lucky that night, I get lucky.

I don't get lucky that often with it. You know, Rocky got a liker. So, you know, so girls will keep coming around. I be like,

yo, we just window shopping. You know what I mean? So, you know, someone came around and I was like, we'll just make a record about it. So that's this record. All right, we got more with Dame Dash.

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 still kicking it with Dame Dash. Charlamagne.

Do you allow yourself time to grieve when stuff like that happens? When you lose a child and then when your people die? The thing is, that happens to everybody, right? Everyone that's born knows they're going to die. It's just a matter of when. So we all go through tragedies. It's just a matter of your life. So some people really hate their life.

So when they go through tragedies, they're in a dark room because there's no life to go back to that's great. They're depressed. God has given me a great life to where I'm having so much fun that I can't be mad at the tragedies that everyone goes through. I just have to be happy at the fact that when they do happen, you know, when we lost the baby, we went to Hawaii for two weeks. A lot of people can't do that. And Rocky was able to help other people. So we went and did therapy. You look on my Instagram,

we did therapy publicly. So there's a lot of women that go through that. And that's the reason, another reason why I have such an appreciation for women because making life is not easy. You know, we've been struggling for a while. We're doing IVF, and I've got a lot of children, but, you know, the right one is the one that I'm having the most difficulty with. But it's a very common thing, and women lose children a lot. Like every girl, woman I know is like,

that happened to me at this point in time, my mother, this, that. So sometimes, you know, you don't have to look away from the tragedies and be ashamed of them. You embrace them. And the only reason why things happen to me and happen to me publicly is so other people could become stronger from it. If you get pain and don't learn from it, then it's in vain. The only purpose of pain is to define you. So another thing is I go through a lot of stuff so people can know how to act when you go through it. When Aaliyah died, I was obliterated, but I was still outside every day. When my child, when we just lost

a baby, I was still out. They didn't even know. No one knew. I'm just talking about it a month later because we didn't want nobody to feel sorry for us. You think you would feel that way without therapy? Because I go to therapy too. I go to therapy once a week. Would you feel that way without therapy? I don't know. See, the reason why I'm not an unhappy person, despite what people think, is

because I don't internalize everything. Therapy is about getting dark before you get light. Now, if you f*** with me, I get dark very quick. People know that. And then I'll laugh as soon as I walk out the room because I haven't held anything in. I mean, I don't think people understand that the real trick in life is because everyone's about self-preservation. They think it's about survival. And we're born into the 99% having to struggle for the day, having to always be scared and worry about yourself. But really, the test is how much you can love other people.

That's the reason why I'm always all right, because I'm always giving love. So that's the test, is loving others before you love yourself. That's what a boss does. That's what a father does. And that's what people have to understand. If you're only worried about you, then you're not living right. It's not about you. It's always about we and the people that you love. The last time you were here,

we had a big conversation about ownership and being a boss. What are your thoughts about that now? Do you still feel the same way? What'd you say? The reason I say that is because a lot of people were upset the way that you said it, and some people agree with you. So what are your thoughts on it now?

If they have changed. There was just one thing people were upset about. It was just the fact. And people misunderstood. First of all, I was just a f***ing chump. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, but what you're saying was honest.

It was true, but... What I'm saying is sometimes it doesn't matter. That's a test, right? If you can listen to somebody despite the way they say it, it doesn't matter about my tone. It matters what I say. It matters what I do. So if someone isn't evolved enough to look past their ego,

because it's the ego that makes people offended. So I wasn't saying don't have a job. I was saying don't have a job and not invest in something else. That's all I would say. I think it's silly to only care about somebody else's equity and not your own. Yeah, not to invest in yourself. Right, and like I said, as a result, I saw the whole world change behind that. At least within our culture, I saw an awareness.

And sometimes all the time to make a change we have to be disruptive. So I'm disruptive on purpose. If I say it in a way that everyone else is saying it, no one's going to hear me. So that's the reason why I speak the way I do. You know what I mean? We ain't arguing about... I can't come here and say y'all ain't doing nothing. I'm coming out so I see what you're doing. Y'all have evolved. Y'all doing more things.

So I feel like, yeah, I have a part in that. And I'm happy. You know, whether it bugs you or not, as long as there was action. I don't care how you feel. I care what you do. What about forgiveness for Dame Dash? Does Dame Dash necessarily forgive? Always forgive.

I know there's a lot of people that you didn't really felt that were culture vultures in our culture. Did you ever speak to other people, like Lior, like Steve Stout? I talked to Steve Stout. How did that conversation go? He said, you know all those times You were yelling at me about Jay Jay was setting up those meetings He just threw Jay under the bus Quick

Bam I saw him at Kanye's He was like Yo you was yelling at me But he was doing all that And I was like I knew it And then I was telling him

I was like But yeah But can you trust that though? I don't care Because when he runs I don't even care Jay he probably Thinks something else

I don't care Yeah yeah yeah I don't even care As long as that's what he said I don't give a You know as long as he I don't even care Like Jay, you probably think something else. I don't care. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't even care. As long as that's what he said. I don't give a ****. You know, as long as he... I don't even really care. Like, honestly, I'm not mad at anybody because they haven't messed my life up.

I just, like, again, if somebody does something that I don't like, where I think it's foul, where it's against my principles and my morals, I just don't mess with them. Poof. You don't exist in me anymore. You're in the rear view. And that's all it is. And unless you change, then, you know, again, I forgive everyone. I just don't forget. I just don't

trust. I just don't want to be around. I just don't want to smell your breath. You know? Period. I saw you on Mike Tyson's podcast say everybody has a scumbag level. What's Dame Dash's scumbag level? I haven't found it yet. I'm having too much fun to be a scumbag. You know, scumbagging comes with insecurity.

That means you think you can't get it. It ain't nothing that I don't think I can get. That's why I try to get everything. So I don't think there's a reason to jump out the window. As long as my girl and my kids are proud of me, that's all that counts. As long as I protect the people that I love, that's all that counts. But I'm not going to be taking people swinging on me too much longer. So if you notice, I started throwing lawsuits on people. See, I had my head down.

I've been working. I've been minding my own business. And every time I do get a platform, I try to help people. And everyone I try to help tries to rob. So it's like, yo, I guess I'm about to smack a couple of people around legally. So you're going to notice it. You're going to see it. And you're going to see a lot of people say about me. I expect that. So every day I'd be like, who's going to lie about me today? Who's going to say something from years ago that no camera was on and just make some shit up just for a check that didn't go to say something from years ago that no camera was on and just make some s*** up just for a check that didn't go to the police or none of that s***?

Who's going to do it? I'm going to make an example out of it. When you come on somebody's block and you want to take it over, sometimes it's war before there's peace. So I'm down for the war. Legally. But don't cheat. Give me a fair one. What about when they use women? I see Chris Brown I think that's foul. I think the foulest thing about that is because there are

women that are being abused. And you know me. I'm all about investing in women. I would never violate. I do shoot's foul. I think the foulest thing about that is because there are women that are being abused. And you know me. I'm all about investing in women. I would never violate. I do shoot my shot, but no is no. I don't think people know. One time you pressed Harvey Weinstein for harassing a woman on set or something like that, right? Or am I getting the story wrong?

Stuff like that. You know, it was things like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A couple different reasons I pressed him. I used to press him a lot. But, you know, we were in the same circle. You know what I mean? We owned a club together called Socialistas, but I'd never seen him put up his bread.

And he used to be doing slick s*** in the bathroom. I'd be like, what are you doing, man? Who are the s***? You mean slick stuff in the bathroom? Not the bathroom, in the kitchen. I'd be like, I can't even eat in the kitchen. I don't want to get into that. What do you mean?

But you did press him. I used to press him. I don't know. I think Cam or somebody told that story. You pressed him because he was harassing a woman or something. You was like, not here on this set or something like that. Well, that was another situation. Somebody got smacked on the pay the full set.

That's what it was. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if it was you. Somebody smacked Arvie for doing that. No, no. I didn't. Nobody.

It wasn't like that, but somebody got smacked. All I'm saying is it's wild to accuse somebody of sexual assault that stood up to an actual predator. I mean, but either way, it's like, why now? I never had these issues all of a sudden. The question is, why does Chris Brown himself have so many different lawsuits against me in one year and all of them are frivolous? And he's not talking about Chris Brown, the artist.

Chris Brown, the lawyer. If you ever see somebody with a bad suit and he look like Mr. Bookman or just like his clothes, that's what's the most offensive. He's terrible. No style, no taste. You don't look like you eat right. I'm like, God damn, I gotta look at this. I gotta hear his voice. I'm about to be on the stand right now.

This is the last day of a bum trial of some stupidity. He mumbling and fumbling. It's just a waste of time. It's for shortbread. The thing is about court, anybody can file a lawsuit. you can file a lawsuit from a email but you got to go through the whole motion but i still got to get online the energy is low when you're around low energy people so you know even there was people that have been with me that went to the trial was like man this

is too whack i'm out of here so when whack people do whack business, you're around whack energy. It's whack juice. Whack is contagious. Get whack away from me. Alright, we got more with Dame Dash. 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 still kicking it with

Dame Dash. Charlamagne, now we've seen recently that you were suing the people from Growing Up Hip Hop. Yeah. And that was because you felt like they were encouraging your son to drink. Well, yeah. And what it was was I had asked them not because they knew my son had a problem with his triggers. So I said, don't have certain individuals in scenes with my son because they are triggers.

And the next scene, they got him in there, and he hasn't been the same since. And I just feel like these people aren't from our culture. So I look at growing up hip-hop, there's Tara Long and Mark. These are all people that aren't from my culture making money off people that, people's dysfunction of our culture. So it would be easier if it was somebody black doing it. But I just don't appreciate them separating families, making money from it, and then not supporting them.

Because they was holding some bread in mind because of the warrants and the child support. But they actually covered me paying the child support. They covered it. It's a storyline. And then I'm like, all right, I gave them $1.2 million. I'm out. And they saying, we can't give you your money because you didn't pay child.

I'm like, yo, come on, man. I'm suing you. I'm sick of this. So I just did it. It was like a week of just like, it was over shortbread, too. It was just the morals and the principles. Again, I'm just sick of it. Have you ever said, f*** it, and just said, I'm just gonna settle?

I'm gonna settle with one of these lawsuits just because it's a waste of time? If they were a waste of time, I would settle. But they're not. People are accusing me and trying to steal from me. Yeah, we can settle. Settle on being truthful and it's not trying to rob me. You know, Brian White is an actor, right? He understands art and all of it that comes with it. This dude is trying to pretend he directed my trying to rob me. You know, Brian White is an actor, right? He understands art and all of it

that comes with it. This dude is trying to pretend he directed my movie. You understand? You know, from Stomp the Yard, you know, High Yellow,

Brian White, that one. I can't believe that someone could, as an artist, can go and make and do interviews and say,

yo, I directed this movie knowing he didn't. And you could ask Columbus Short. So people are just being flagrant. What I'm supposed to do? I'm not doing that. I'll take one, but I'm hitting you hard. I you could ask Columbus Short. So people are just being flagrant. What I'm supposed to do? I'm not doing that. I'll take one, but I'm hitting you harder.

I'm going to at least swing. If it don't land, it don't land, but I got to swing. Lee Daniels paid you back. You know what happened, bro. You know, I can't even speak on it too much. But you finally got it. No, he didn't pay me back. I mean, the way the situation is, he got on a payment plan to pay me back.

Oh, got you, got you. That's what I'm going to speak on. All I wanted to do was have it be acknowledged. You understand what I'm saying? But, yeah, if he could have gave me, that was what was funny was, once they thought he gave me $2 million, everybody was jumping on $2 million. I'm like, man, come on, man. And I didn't even make him pay no interest.

But, again, I'm not really supposed to be speaking on it. You know what I mean? I just wanted it settled. You know, and I ain't got no problems with him. I just wanted my bread. What would this more mature, evolved, heel Dame Dash, tell the Dame Dash that I was running around the Big Pimpin' video or the Hey Poppy video? I would say more mature, evolved, healed Dame Dash tell the Dame Dash that was running around the Big Pimpin' video or the Hey Poppy video?

I would say don't disrespect women, but do everything else. I don't like to do things I don't want my kids to do. I was young, and I was just insecure about certain things, and I needed to get the video right because we weren't selling any records, and that was our last resort, or else then I was going to start rapping. It's hard for men to have that conversation, but I think we need to. We need to talk about how culture shifted. Culture was different back then.

I'm glad it's this sensitive right now because there's a lot of people that are being regulated that should. But I hate when people take advantage of that. And you can see the quality of a person that does it. Just look at their past. Look at their history. Look at them. People that have bad taste have bad taste in everything.

Just look at the way they dress. Look at that lawyer. We had Fab up here, and he talked about DJ Clue, and he said that Clue had a strange relationship with Rockefeller. Yeah, it was a love-hate. What happened was Steve Stout tried to get cute, right? That's the scumbag he used to do. You know, I was trying to sign the firm,

and he went and snaked me with that one. I was trying to sign everybody, and I was just like, we should just stick together. That's what I was trying to do. So it was my idea to make a mixtape into an album so i was doing it and this you know i told steve stout about he went behind my back and was actually doing the deal like i had to run up in that office and him and clue were at the table signing i'm like no no you already know better than that you know and sat down you know, that was the first time I really got in front of him like that, right? So they had,

I guess, D-Rock had showed me a picture of him with a wig on and lipstick. What? What are you talking about? While he was,

asked him, while he was asleep. This is how I met Steve Stiles. They used to be telling me because, you know, Biggie's crew was kind of funny,

you know, see, ask Stiles and everybody. I don't care, you can ask him. And I guess he fell asleep, and they had put lipstick on him and a wig, so then they took a picture. And I was like, nah, he ain't robbing me. You know what I'm saying?

Because he didn't get up and swing at y'all or nothing? But yeah, that happened. And then, you know, Clue is funny. You know, he likes to snap, and I can snap better. And Rockefeller is tough love. And that's what it was and i'm tough love i'm very honest so you know i used to just tease him he used to tease you know he used to cut ass like we do but i'm just always a little funnier i don't know i don't know it was a weird

relationship do you miss those those rockefeller days and the snapping and big face scarys and all that you did do you miss any of that i don't like being around dudes too much i like being around women you know know, again, I had fun. And yeah, those days were great. But I just remember I was consumed with stupid

arguing and fighting over nothing. What I don't like... You was younger though. Exactly. But right now, I was an evolved man. I don't think anybody

at 49 wants to hang out all day with their homeboys all day. I mean, if you do, then that's a problem. I want to be with my girl all day. Right.

Period. I hate not being with my girl. Actually, I'm always with my girl. You have to be a slave for a woman. You can only be a king if you're a slave for a queen, to me. And if you don't know how to take care of a woman and a family, then you're not really a man. We meant to take care of our family. So a lot of cats, sometimes they're going to be with their homies because they feel the support, but you got to be the support. Because my thing is, if I see a lot of people around and they're not doing the right thing, it's my responsibility to teach them.

So if I'm sitting in a room full of dudes trying to teach them, and everyone that gets taught, they like to watch me teach, but no one wants to be directly taught. They get embarrassed. Their ego makes them do emotional stuff. And then at some point, we get to the hands. And they don't want that anymore. So I'm telling you, it makes no sense trying to help dudes

because their ego and their testosterone, they won't let you coach them. Definitely not in front of people. And if you do help them or give them anything, they resent you. They want everything you got. But that's the problem with our community and our culture. Like I was watching an interview the other day, and somebody was like, yo, do you and Envy got beef? And I'm like, the fact that two men can have a conversation

and have an argument or a disagreement makes people really feel like it's beef. They want it to be that. Right. Because us having an argument or disagreement on air about something that we passionately believe in does nothing but help people. A debate. It's a debate.

White people call it a debate. Bro, people argue. Me and my homeboys, the best out, we argue every single time. But we never fight. It could be a healthy debate What we're trained to do Is celebrate us hurting each other

So that's the reason why I'm not having If you notice my beefs don't be with people of my culture so much I'm calling out Lior Cohen And you know other people from the other I'm not going to fight y'all That's what they want us to do We're programmed to think that we're supposed to get accolades for killing each other. But you ain't doing nothing to the nerves that's really making it weird.

Your mother's not really feeling good. So, you know, someone could disrespect your mom as a boss because she has to have one and say some slick s***. And you're going to come and say thank you or you're going to talk to Manny O'Connor way, change your voice. But when somebody says something slick to you on the block, you want to shoot. That's your color. Someone that you should be like, yo, let's work together. I'm seeing a couple of beefs get squashed in hip-hop, and I like that. Well, Dave got to go to court now.

That's right. Well, we appreciate you for joining us, Dave. Thank you. Are y'all going to play the record? Yes. I'm glad. I was hoping that in five years when I saw y'all again, y'all wasn't going to be all out of shape and not doing stuff. Nah.

And y'all was going to be salty and bitter. But y'all look crispy and fresh, and I'm proud of y'all. And I like the stuff y'all been doing. And, again, we did have a disagreement, but it made us friends. And every time I called y'all, there were many answers. And, you know, I appreciate that. So you solid points. My brother loves it.

All right, it's Dave Dash. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this.

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. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk 50 Cent. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Now, by now, we all know that Tiara Marie owes 50 Cent money, right?

$30,000. Still? Well, yes. Jesus, you need a payment plan. Well, it looks like he's filed new documents, and he wants to put another $5,000 on top of that. I agree. Interest. Yes.

He accused her of refusing to turn over her financial information, details of her VH1 paychecks, and all of that. So he said he's been attempting to locate her assets to seize that money, but he believes that she's not being truthful about what's going on financially. 50 said he don't play when it comes to his money. He want his money. None of us do. None of us play when it comes to our money. I remember the stupidest advice somebody gave me was, as long as somebody owes you, you'll never

be broke. Right. Lie. Lie. Lie. Lie. Because a lot of people owe. But it's okay. It is okay. Little Nas X has revealed that his mother is actually a drug addict. Now, he did an interview, and he spoke to Variety, and he said, so much happened during my rise to fame. He said, you know, drugs and murders and my grandmother passing.

She was the first person close to me who died. It was devastating, and it made me a hypochondriac. I'd wake up heart racing. It was scary. He also started smoking weed very heavily to cope with the death, but he felt more connected to the universe. He said, I never really talk about my mom. She's an addict, so we don't have

the closest relationship. Even trying to get her better, things didn't quite work out, but there's still love. The biggest surprise of becoming globally famous, he said, on the outside everybody loves you, but on the inside, everything feels the same. So that was him sharing some information that we did not know previously all right now the baby says that he had a conversation with diddy and he's turning over a new leaf listen to this i'm just turning a new leaf and

never let the narrative control their future and i always control the narrative you know i mean in hopes of your future being exactly what your future is supposed to be, not what others may attempt to make it out to be. So with that being said, man, I'm on some new s***. If I get out of this car right now and s*** slap s*** out of me, I'd probably say, hey, look, bro, you know, I deserve that. You know what I mean? You have a blessed night. Yeah, so, you know, did he put him in that chokehold

and had that whole sit-down conversation with him. Sometimes you need that. Yeah, and smart people learn from their own mistakes. Wise people learn from the mistakes of others. Diddy has already made a lot of those mistakes, you know. And like Jay said, you know, Hov did that, so hopefully you don't have to go through that. They all went through that phase. Diddy was busting people upside the head with bottles and slapping people, and I'm sure it cost him a lot of money.

Fat Joe's come on The Breakfast Club and told us a million stories about how people would just run up on him and want to fight because they know it would be a payday. So, yeah, you got to be smarter. I don't know if I believe that if somebody slapped him, he would just let that go. Yeah, I don't think he'd let that go. I don't know if I believe that. Yeah, I don't believe that one. Sounds good.

Well, listen, what is Kane Kong's job? Come on, Kane. What you got that big 6'12", 385-pound man with you for? Well, Kane is not there all the time. He's not there 24-7. When is Kane not there? Well, obviously, when he put the guy in the chair, Kane wasn't there. I think Kane wasn't there.

His brother was there. Well, listen, put it like this. There's no shortage of people that will put hands on you if you slap the baby. All right? Don't take them 704 dudes. It's not going to put hands on you if you slap the baby. All right? Don't take them 704 dudes. It's not gonna put hands on you if you slap the baby, okay? All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you,

Miss Yee, and I gotta shout out to two people. One is 50 Cent. 50 Cent is getting the star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame next week, so congratulations to 50 Cent. Congratulations. I want a coupon for 50 Cent, man. Curtis Jackson. Shout out to my guy, 50, man. I wanted to go out there for that, but I can't,

but congratulations to 50. And also, what? No, I was thinking about 50, like, was it yesterday? I don't know why I was randomly thinking. I was like, 50 is really a guy in hip hop

who doesn't need music anymore. No, he doesn't. He has transitioned totally out of us needing to hear a record from him, which is a good face to be in. Yeah, films, producing, even alcohol. Yeah, he's doing great in all that.

TV. When is that final episode of Power coming on? Two more. Two more episodes. Two more episodes. Okay. And happy birthday to my homie Reg. I went to college with him.

He does real estate now. Today is his birthday. So happy birthday, Reg. All right. Donkey today. Who you giving that donkey to, Charlemagne? Donkey is going to a cereal pooper. All right?

A cereal pooper? A cereal pooper. Just stick with me on this, okay? Four after the hour, we'll talk about it. All right, we'll get to that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

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 is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever

you get your podcasts. Because right now you want some real donkey shit. It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey man, hit it with the heat. Did she get donkey in the name, please tell me. Absolutely. I have become donkey of the day. At the breakfast bar. You're a donkey. Donkey of the Day for Friday, January 24th goes to a Massachusetts woman named Andrea Grosser.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to discuss something we all should do on the regular. OK, a lot of us do do it on the regular. As a broad rule, people say you should do this thing anywhere from three times a day to three times a week. That is what is considered normal. If you are like me, then you have a regular pattern a regular routine and that regular pattern is 8 30 a.m and around 4 30 p.m depending on what i've eaten but if you haven't figured it out what am i talking about defecation yes drop on the clues bombs for defecation it's a beautiful feeling uh releasing a sewer all right, backing the big brown motorhome out of the garage, all right, giving King Kong his fingers back. Doo-doo!

That's what we're discussing this morning. Don't screw your face up listening to me talk about those things, okay? All of y'all do it. Studies show that at least 45 million people in America have to lay down some brown right now, all right? It's my study, but it's a study nonetheless. You know why you have to lay down some brown right now? Because is a laxative all right coffee makes you poop research shows that caffeine makes the colon 60 more active than water so you're acting disgusted because i'm talking

about taking the browns to the super bowl meanwhile you gotta un go and load a batch of cigars right now okay now according to the New York Post, Andrea Gross is a serial pooper who was arrested for allegedly turning a store parking lot into her own personal potty. She is 51 years old and has been dubbed the parking lot pooper. Would you like to hear more?

Well, let's go to WYCN NBC10 for the report, please. Henry Cantor installed these surveillance cameras outside his Natick Outdoor store to catch shoplifters. But he ended up catching this woman defecating in his parking lot, and not just once or twice. He says it happened at least nine times over three months. He brushed it off as a prank, but it kept happening, so he called Natick Police. You see a woman get out, squat for about 20 seconds, get up, and then drive off.

An officer pulled over Andrea Grosser around the corner just moments later. That's when investigators say she apologized and told the officer that she takes the laxative Miralax and suffers from irritable bowel syndrome. And police say she actually works at a house around the corner as a nanny, but investigators say she never did really explain why she didn't just wait until she got to that house to use the restroom.

First of all, there's so much wrong with this story. I think it's hilarious that she's an actual nanny, because growing up, you know, in South Carolina, amongst corner of South Carolina, we used to always call Doo-Doo nanny. Oh, you got a nanny? You know, that's what they say. So, yeah, I think that's hilarious. Now, if you have Revolt TV, are we on Revolt today nanny. Oh, you got a nanny? You know, that's what they say. So, yeah, I think that's hilarious. Now, if you have Revolt TV, are we on Revolt today? No.

Oh. None of us are in the studio. Yeah, man. I wish we was on Revolt. Well, everybody, please go Google Andrea Grosser and look at her mugshot. Google her mugshot right now. Everybody. I'm going to give you all a second.

Okay. That's two seconds. All right. Now, just Google her mugshot, Andrea Grosser. All right, what's crazy about her mugshot is she looks like her bowels are irritated in the mugshot. All right, growing up, we would often say that about people. Oh, he look like he got a nanny. He look like he got a sugar honey iced tea.

But Andrea Grosser really looks like she's in pain. I know the pain she feels. It's the pain of being in jail and having to poop, okay? Now, I know Andrea likes to poop in public places, but you don't want to have to poop in no holding cell at no jail, okay? You have to be a different kind of human being to poop in a holding cell at a jail. Now, I'm traumatized by these kind of experiences, and this is exactly why I don't leave a building if I have to pump a clump of dump out my rump, okay? See, I've been pulled over and taken to jail for driving under suspension. I've been handcuffed for tickets that I didn't pay.

So don't ever think, especially when you black, that you can just run out of the house real quick when it's time to lymph in your spine. Okay, when it's time to lymph in your spine, then lymph in your spine, goddammit, because if not, you will be in jail with a mugshot looking like Andrea Grosser. I have nothing else to say about this situation. I don't find it disgusting.

It's just that when nature calls, you have to answer it. But you have to be very cognizant of where you answer it at. Please give Andrea Grosser the sweet sounds of the hammer tones. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. All right. I know some of y'all looking at Andrea Gross' picture right now saying to yourself,

she really looks like she has to poop. Mm-mm-mm. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey has to poop. Mm-mm-mm. Mm-hmm. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Mm-hmm. Now, Chinese New Year? Yes, tomorrow is Chinese New Year, so I just wanted to shout out everybody celebrating Chinese New Year.

So today's New Year's Eve. Mm-hmm. It's the year of the six nine, right? It's the year of the rat. Yeah, the rats. Yes, so there's a lot of things for tomorrow. If you want to have a prosperous year, you're not supposed to do. They said don't do laundry.

Okay. If you can avoid crying children,. They said don't do laundry. Okay. If you can avoid crying children, you're supposed to avoid that tomorrow. Okay. Yeah, and don't use scissors. Don't use scissors. Don't do laundry. The children think I can't get around that one, but all right. Well, you're not going to be home.

If I was 6'9", I would lean into that. He coming home this year, too, like around the summertime, I would literally lean into the whole yeah to rat thing. You gain a whole new fan base. My goodness. Alright. Well, thank you again for that donkey today. When we come back, we're going to kick it with Angela Danroy Henry. That's the parents of DJ Henry.

Alyssa Finley, that's the sister of Botham Jean. Michelle Kinney, the mother of Antoine Rose Jr. Now, all of those three individuals were killed by the hands of police. Yeah, man. Very tough conversation to have. We're going to talk to them when we come back. So don't move, all right?

It's The Breakfast Club. Come on. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still speaking with Angela Dan Roy Henry, parents of DJ Henry, Alyssa Finley, sister of Botham Jean, and Michelle Kinney, the mother of Antoine Rose Jr.

All of them were killed at the hands of police. Now let's talk about the responsibility program and what you guys have linked up with Rock Nation and the NFL. How does that program help other people? Well, what we hope is through the telling of our son and brother's life story through these PSAs that again

we're raising some awareness and we get the right people engaged around the table to have constructive conversation about this so we can actually start making some real change. I mean the NFL has a big resource. Roc Nation has good reach. And I think now people are starting to hear these back-to-back-to-back, the Anquan Bolden's story, his cousin's story.

They're starting to see that these things are happening all over the country. It's not just in their isolated community. They can't just put this in a little small compartment. These kids weren't doing anything wrong. These aren't bad people. And they're going to have to wake up. And we hope that by putting this in their face in a really constructive way, it'll make some people start to think about, you know,

create cognitive dissonance. Like, wait a minute, something may actually be wrong here. Do these white people care? That's what I often wonder. For me, I'm not really sure. We can go back to the forgiveness question. I can't get there because they didn't show any remorse.

Right. He nor his family have ever said I'm sorry. And we all know in a court of law saying I'm sorry doesn't mean you're guilty. So I've never gotten that. My family has always been the one to be kind and courteous even during the trial. So do they care? I'm not really sure. But am I willing to do everything in my power, along with Roc Nation and the NFL,

to let them at least hear my story? Absolutely. And I don't know how we know if they care. I don't know how we know, right? So we have to be in their face. We have to keep presenting these as real issues, real people, real stories. You know, we've sacrificed a lot.

It's not just about white people. It's about all people. Because we sometimes prejudge police. Right. And we say things like, well, these police are all bad. Well, in the case of our son, this guy tried to save our son. So it isn't that simplistic in either direction. We have to keep having the conversation about it. They say, you know, part of the NFL partnership is they say communication is the key message. So what exactly are we trying to communicate? If one guy does something bad and it takes the life of a good kid, then that person should be held accountable.

I don't care if they're wearing a badge or not, because if you take the badge off, everybody says that's murder. When you put the badge on, people start struggling with it, right? Because there's not an effective way for police officers to be held accountable. They can't really apologize because if they apologize, they get convicted. Their PBAs, their police benevolent associations won't let them apologize.

Even if they want to say sorry, they can't say sorry. And whether they look like us or they don't look like us, we got to change that so that there's an effective way to hold people accountable, irrespective of whether they're wearing a badge or not. I want to get back to the point where you said, do you think white people care? So I have half of a family, half of my family is white.

And I can tell you that they have gone to battle for us in the moments when we couldn't. They were out there making sure that our son's name wasn't forgotten. And they have gone ahead of us to try to make a trail. So I know at least my side of the family really cares. When a situation like that happens, you know, in the case of Antoine, the cops were acquitted. Like, did you expect that? Like, did you even think that you was going to get justice? This is the first time I'm ever going to admit this in public.

So it's a little uncomfortable. But truth, not at all. Not at all. The public did. My family was praying. You knew what it was. I never thought he would be convicted. I never once was ever, ever convinced at all, in the slightest, that he would be convicted.

As a matter of fact, he walked out the courtroom before I did. Wow. So that makes the healing process even more difficult. A little bit harder. Have a lot of families reached out to you guys as well since all of this has happened and you've shared your stories? Yes. Yes. Yes. For sure. We're just praying that no one else has to call us.

Oh, that's definitely going to happen. That's the sad part about it. But it's a club that we just don't need any more members. What I tell kids now is be excellent. Be excellent. Because it may be your life, your legacy, that is what people use to define you. That may be the very thing that fights against the false narrative about you.

And when they look back at all of these guys, you see that they were excellent. These guys had promised were excellent. But the media going to still try to villainize them regardless. They're going to try to villainize it, but they leave a trail of excellence in their wake. And it's harder to do that when you leave a trail of excellence. And that will refute one of the things that we had always talked about because our son's favorite scripture was, no weapon formed against you will prosper and you will refute every tongue that is against you.

And so every time there was a lie or a false story put out there, his life and his legacy and the people that knew him was always able to refute that and say, no, that's not true. Let me tell you why. And I knew him and his teachers and his coaches and the bus driver. And, you know, anyone that came in contact with him knew him and knew his character. So they were able to speak to that. So be great because you want someone else to be able to come again alongside you and say, no, no, no, I know him. I know what he's about. Yeah. And don't believe that. It was the same with both of them because media tried, but it was everyone rallied for him. It was Harding University.

He went to a Christian university, and the people from Searcy, Arkansas, which is like all-white town in Arkansas, they all stood up for him, and they knew him because of his character. Was there any truth to the fact that he had a relationship with the police officer? No.

No truth to that. And they had never even met each other, you said? Never met. Didn't know each other. Never crossed paths, ever. I'm glad that you're here, and I'm glad that Dan's here, because like you said, you always see the mothers on the front line. But you don't realize these people have sisters, and they have brothers,

and aunts, and unclests and uncles. Fathers. Fathers. I'm just glad that they see that a father cares about his son in that way. Absolutely. In many ways, I'm a reflection of him. I bear that burden not

lightly. I have to be a reflection of him. I have to try to be a reflection, a projection of his promise so people see what they've now snuffed out, what this guy Aaron has snuffed out because of his own carelessness. Thank you guys again for joining us. How can they reach you guys?

Lisa, you got a foundation? Yes, we do have the Bothamja Foundation and it's thebothamjafoundation.org We started this foundation to basically continue the work the BothamjaFoundation.org. We started this foundation to basically continue the work that Botham started on his own, to just continue his legacy. And we have the DJDreamFund.org, and we too started this after following DJ's example.

And what we do is we provide funding for children in Massachusetts so that they can continue to play sports, attend summer camp, all the things that he loved. Right now I'm in discussions with Roc Nation to actually get funding for and begin the Antoine Rose II Foundation because it's my intention to purchase a building right where Antoine was killed. Wow.

And turn it into a community center. That's powerful. So did Roc Nation. Roc Nation doing the work. Y'all can see what y'all want about this NFL partnership. They doing the work. We're so grateful

that they have not forgotten our children and our brother, that they remember their names and wanted to do something so impactful with the NFL. So we're honored that they chose us to be a part of it.

Yeah. All right. Well, it's the Breakfast Club. Thank you guys for joining us. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you for having us. The Breakfast Club.

Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee.

It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Yes, another celebrity endorsement for Bernie Sanders. Now it looks like Joe Rogan has endorsed Bernie Sanders for the Democratic primaries. Some liberals are very upset about Bernie Sanders appearing to accept that endorsement also. And they're highlighting some things that Joe Rogan has said and done in the past. And feel like, I guess, Bernie Sanders should not accept that. Yeah, I see them all wilding on Twitter this morning. Joe Rogan was like the number two trending topic.

But here's the thing. Joe Rogan is one of the most popular broadcasters on the planet. Like his podcast is massive. He has tens of millions of listeners, supporters, fans, whatever you want to call them. And none of them care about what those people are mad about. So you're wasting your time on social media trying to paint a negative narrative about Joe

because the people who listen to him already know about him. And the things you find offensive, they don't. So you're not going to assassinate his character? Like, what they hoping that Bernie's not going to do? Well, I think they're more looking. That's what they want. They said, dare Bernie Sanders, please reject the endorsement of this man. It is beneath all of us.

It is not okay to be celebrating an endorsement from him. The people who support Joe and may vote for Bernie because of Joe, if they decide not to because Bernie denounced him, I don't think they're going to do that. That's what they're hoping for, but I don't think they're going to do that. So Bernie just needs to stay on his ground, period. Why can't people understand that there's so many different things for different people? You've got millions of people who like Joe Rogan, millions of people who don't.

Why would we listen to the millions of people who don't. Why would we listen to the millions of people who don't? Why? Yeah, I guess they just feel like, why are you accepting that, not saying that Joe Rogan's not who he is? I don't know.

All right, now let's talk about Uncle Murda on The Breakfast Club. And as you know, he's had a back and forth with Lil Reese due to his 2019 wrap-up. Here's what happened

on The Breakfast Club where we discussed those lyrics. Lil Reese talking crazy. I was gonna say, Lil Reese is not happy with you. Yeah, let's all beef with him or something. 2019 a wrap-up Here's what happened on The Breakfast Club where we discussed those lyrics I know why He's okay You know I mean I didn't want to hear his don no more. He probably don't want to hear my s*** either. You know what I mean? All I'm saying is I didn't want to hear his. Don't act like y'all here checking for Lil Reese.

We was waiting like, damn, when Lil Reese new project coming out? Well, Lil Reese posted unk, goof ass, all on Breakfast Club with my D in his mouth. Soon my voice come back, you gonna get a reply, goofy. And that was his response to what Uncle Murder had to

say somehow I don't feel like Uncle Murder cares at all I don't think so either but I don't know all right Tyra Banks she gave a very passionate speech and that was all about the dark side of fashion and she basically said don't get me started on the 90s and every single day I will continue to fight your oppression that makes people feel like crap about themselves. So the video is called The Uprising Begins. And it's about her experience as a supermodel. And she's promoting her new business venture, Model Land.

That's a place where everyone can live in the ultimate modeling fantasy. Here's what Tyra Banks had to say. Oh, you changed? Yeah, you changed because you had to. Because if you didn't, no one would want your ass. It's too late because today I am wise enough to know that my beauty is not defined by you. Beauty is all shapes and sizes, all colors and genders, young and old, tall and short, thin and thick. Real beauty lives in the land of and.

Yeah, we've heard a lot of stories about how crazy it is in this modeling and fashion world. Real beauty lives in the land of Ant. Yeah, we've heard a lot of stories about how crazy it is in this modeling and fashion world. So I'm sure nobody knows more about that than Tyra Banks herself. Yeah, she's got a little experience. And since we were talking about 50 Cent earlier and when is the power finale coming on, Michael Rainey Jr., he's gotten over 300 death threats before the finale came on. So I guess because 50's been leaking all these possible potential endings on who killed Ghost, people are upset with his character on the show. But it's just a character, and people are taking it very seriously.

Yeah, but when you do a good job at playing the role that he does of Tariq, it really does make you hate him in real life. Like, I just hate Tariq's face. Like, I don't even like the St. Patrick's period. I want all the St. Patrick's to die. That would be a great thing. Yes, even Tasha. Tasha can go too.

Not Tasha. I love Tasha. Nope. You like Natari, the person. I do like Natari. Exactly. Tasha, the character? No.

Natari, the person? Yes. Just like Omari's cool. I don't know Michael in real life, but yes, I hate the St. Patrick's. Can't stand him. Okay. All right. Well, I hate the St. Patrick's. Can't stand them. Okay. Alright. That's the only show on TV and probably one of the only times in

life I will root for a white person over a bunch of black people because I root for Tommy. The rest of them can go. So you're okay with Tommy, but you have a problem with, I'm confused. Because Tommy the only one that's solid. The rest of them is stealing and ratting and lying. It's disgusting. Tommy was

lying. You guys know it's not real? Tommy's a liar. He done killed his girlfriend. Alright, guys. Yeah, but Tommy stays solid to his people, though. Ghosts will rat on anybody. Tasha will rat on anybody. Tariq will set his own parents up.

That's the disgusting family. I don't know if Tommy's that great either. I mean, I'm just saying some of the things that he's done has been, and he was on drugs for a while. Everything was off, all of that. Tommy's solid. That's why he got away. That and white privilege, but you know.

All right. Well, whatever. We love solid, right? All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Goodness gracious, guys. All right. All right. Now, that is your rumor report. Goodness gracious, guys. All right. All right.

Now, Revolt's not up today. Did you just wrap me up? I did wrap you up. It's time to go. You had another story? No. I mean, you just wrapped me up. All right.

You know what, man? I feel proud. And the reason I feel proud is because I didn't ask Dame Dash not one question about Jay-Z, not one question about Kanye West. Because when you watch all these Dame Dash interviews, they literally ask him the same things over and over. It's like they want to see him flip out and get that type of reaction. But Dame is a guy who's got a wealth of knowledge and a lot of other stories to tell. Yeah, we didn't ask him about Aaliyah. We didn't ask him about R. Kelly.

We didn't ask him about Biggs. We didn't ask him about Jay, Rockefeller, none of that. We talked about other things. Yep. So, shout to Dame Dash for joining us. Also, shout to Angela and Dan Roy Henry. They're the parents of DJ Henry. Alyssa Finley, that's the sister of Botham Jean.
