Y'all just took over The Breakfast Club. Good morning, USA! My name's DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. It's Thursday. Yes, it's Thursday. Man, it has finally gotten warm here in New York City. I know that we're nationally syndicated, but it's been cold here, okay? Yesterday it was like, what, 80 degrees?
Starting point is 00:02:37 Close to 80. Today it's going to be close to 90. Really? They said it might break records today. It's supposed to be close to 90 today. They playing now. That's the weather machine. There ain't nothing but harp right there. They playing now. They's the weather machine. There ain't nothing but harp right there. They playing now.
Starting point is 00:02:46 They turning the weather up when they want to, turning the temperature down when they want to. I don't know. I'm just happy it's warm. That's all. I'm just happy it's warm.
Starting point is 00:02:53 I can finally go outside. I can barbecue. You can still go outside. I want to barbecue in the cold. I want to play with the kids outside in the cold. But now it's nice and warm. It's going to be a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Make sure you got your SPF 50. Yep. Well, I was out and about yesterday. It was a beautiful day, like you said. We had an event at the Juice Bar. We do this Wealth Wednesdays thing once a month. And we had a credit expert, Lynette Calfani-Cotts. And it was a great, great, great, great event because a lot of people that were there were having questions about how to fix their credit,
Starting point is 00:03:20 how to get their credit score up, how to get out of debt. A lot of questions that sometimes we're embarrassed when we find out we're in debt, when we don't even know what our credit score is. So people got some personalized help. And it was really nice to just interact with everyone and for people to be like, okay, now I know what the first steps are. Because you can get your interest rate lowered on certain debt that you might have. All you have to do is call the company and ask.
Starting point is 00:03:42 Right. And I think they said like 70-something percent of of the time they'll lower your interest rate for you. Right. Only if your credit score is up. That's not true. That's not true. If you have a credit card and you're in debt and at least as long as you make the minimum payment and you pay on time and you call them and you're like, OK, you know, say the interest rate is 19 percent and you ask them to lower it nine times out of 10. Well, seven times out of 10, they'll lower it for you.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Just if you ask okay what's the worst thing that could happen you ask and they tell you no you still owe the money yep absolutely right
Starting point is 00:04:10 but you definitely don't want a credit card with 19% you'll be paying that forever yeah I mean sometimes what happens is with store cards
Starting point is 00:04:16 or maybe you haven't paid your bill and your interest rate shoots up and you gotta pay attention to those things yeah it could happen alright alright
Starting point is 00:04:23 well we have the cast of Dear White People joining us today. Hey, that show comes back tonight or tomorrow? Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Late night tonight, midnight tonight on Netflix. I love Dear White People. I can't wait for season two of that.

Front page news, what are we talking about?

Mm-hmm. Return it? Would you? That's not yours. Return it? Mm-hmm. Return it? Would you? That's God's sign of throwing the money at me. We'll talk about it when we come back.
Starting point is 00:05:10 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. Now, let's talk NBA. Now, the Utah Jazz beat the Houston Rockets 116-108.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Man, what's up with the Rockets? They down 2-0 in that series? No, it's tied 1-1. Oh, it's 1-1? Yeah, tied 1-1. Now, let's talk about all this money flying around in the air. Yes, Indiana State Police, they're asking people to return money if you found some loose money. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Sorry, on Wednesday, you have to return that. Now, what happened was it was a Brinks truck, and I guess the back door came open somehow. Look at God. Just came open? Look at God. Just came open? Nah. Look at God. I'm keeping that one. Now the truck driver told state police another driver waved at him and pointed to the back of his truck and that's when he realized the door wasn't secure and had
Starting point is 00:05:53 opened. And that money was blowing everywhere. They're saying it's about $600,000. We're dropping the clues bombs with Brinks for being a blessing. That's all that was. How much you said? $600,000. Oh, hell no. Now in particular, police are looking for a school bus driver who's all that was. How much you said? $600,000. Oh, hell no. Now, in particular, police are looking for
Starting point is 00:06:06 a school bus driver who stopped to grab cash. No. They're also looking for four individuals in a white pickup truck who were pulling a utility trailer
Starting point is 00:06:14 who made, they got one of the bags of money. And they're basically looking for anybody who stopped to pick up the cash. Man, no, man. They said they're already
Starting point is 00:06:22 getting tips with license plate numbers for people who stopped to pick up the money. Bitches get stitches. They They said they're already getting tips with license plate numbers. Oh, I gotta stop that. Just pick up the money. Just get stitches. They have insurance. So the thing with good and conscious, just turn that money back in,
Starting point is 00:06:30 no questions asked. But I don't know what can they do. Finders keepers, losers weepers, that school bus driver's probably underpaid. He deserved that goddamn money. Drop one of Clues Bombs for everybody in Indiana who received that blessing.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Yeah, that money hits you. That's a sign from God. That's a blessing, right? That's a blessing. And plus, even if they do see your license plate number, find out who you are, they don't know how much money you got. Right. I ain't take nothing. I took $100 bill.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Here, you can have that back. Here's the $50 I got. I ain't take nothing. But whatever I took, God wanted me to have, God damn it. All right. Now, let's talk about the two African-American men who were arrested at the Starbucks in Philadelphia last month. That sparked protests over racial bias at Starbucks. Now they have reached agreements with Starbucks.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Starbucks has pledged to support a $200,000 effort to encourage young entrepreneurs. So the men are going, Dante Robinson and Rashawn Nelson, are going to work with the city and a non-profit organization. They are going to award the $200,000 grant to pilot curriculum for public high school students to develop the skills necessary to pursue their dreams of being entrepreneurs. Now somebody told me they only took a dollar. Yeah, now the two young men themselves reached a settlement
Starting point is 00:07:38 for a dollar for themselves, but they reached that agreement for $200,000 for the public schools. Pull up one of my hee-haws. I don't feel like it. Jesus. Come on, man. They could have got way more bread than that. They could have,000 for the public schools. Pull up one of my hee-haws. I don't feel like it. Jesus. Come on, man. They could have got way more bread than that. They could have got money for the public schools, and they could have got money for themselves.
Starting point is 00:07:51 I don't know if that's right. You got to reread that. I thought the city gave them a dollar and said that they'll give $200,000, and Starbucks just settled, and they didn't say how much Starbucks settled for. Yeah, the city. Oh. The city gave them a dollar each. Not Starbucks.
Starting point is 00:08:04 No, no, no, no, no. I read that three times. I know that for a fact. Oh, so they did get some bread. Starbucks gave them some money. Okay, I'm about to say, god damn, man. She read that wrong. Starbucks gave them some money, but the city only gave them a dollar. They reached a settlement for a dollar with the city. But we don't know what Starbucks gave them,
Starting point is 00:08:19 but they also are getting the opportunity to complete their undergraduate degrees for free. And that's going to be through a partnership with Arizona State University. And that's part of their agreement with Starbucks as well. That's cute. But, you know, I'm glad Starbucks gave up them big bucks. Okay, drop on a clues bomb for those two young men because I was ready to get them to heat up. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:08:36 I read that four times yesterday. That's what I said. I said, there's no way in hell they only take a dollar. But then he said the city gave him a dollar and $200,000 to open them programs. And Starbucks settled and didn't say how much. Why didn't they stick the city up? I guess, I don't know. The city should have had to diss out the $200,000 in programs and some bread.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Maybe the city was doing programs. The police worked for the city, right? And we don't know how much Starbucks gave. Still, the police worked for the city. Yeah. But it's a problem that they did call the police. And I guess, didn't they say the police have a certain protocol when they're called by a restaurant the police, and I guess, didn't they say the police have a certain protocol
Starting point is 00:09:05 when they're called by a restaurant or the management? I guess. Yeah? I mean, I'm not sure, but that's what... I'm just happy they got some money. If they settled for a lifetime Starbucks gift card, I'm going to slap the fire out of them. I'm sure they didn't.
Starting point is 00:09:16 But does that mean I can go get my green tea from Starbucks? Nah, you're still a little 50-50. Is the band lifted? Hey, hey, black community, can I go get my cup from Starbucks? Can I go get my green tea? This would be a great time for Dunkin' Donuts. Do they sell green tea at Dunkin' Donuts? No.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Hey, seriously, seriously, tell me, black people, if I can go get my green tea from Starbucks. Give it to them at the end of the week. I don't want to step over the line until y'all tell me. You guys tweet him and let him know. Can you go back to Starbucks? I just want a green tea real quick. That's all.

There's no Panera Bread around here. Oh, I'm sorry. But thank you for the suggestion. So listen, Starbucks is completely canceled even though the guys got their money?

Get it off your chest. Man, I'm mad at women hoes, the next rhyme, the Me Too movement, right, might be about you. Hello?
Starting point is 00:12:05 Yo, yo. What's up, Lee? Get it off your chest. Man, I'm mad at Charlamagne, the God today for protecting Kanye West when obviously he said what he said and he had an interpreter at the TMZ thing to talk about politics, not his emotions, to talk about how he wants to be a black Republican,
Starting point is 00:12:24 basically, and how black people need to get off of welfare and a whole bunch of other stuff. How did I protect him, sir? Could you tell me? Yeah, because I feel like you like, he is like Trump, because you out there now like Kellyanne Conway, you know, protecting him and saying what he meant to say and what he should have said. And when he absolutely, on TMZ, he said that he had this black chick on there who was there to talk about politics. And her politics were all of Republican Trump stuff,
Starting point is 00:12:55 how black people are shooting each other. You do realize it's not about what a person meant to say, it's what they said. And I mean, that's what I said yesterday when I gave him donkey of the day. So once again, how am I protecting him? Because he said what he meant and you're changing is what they said. And I mean, that's what I said yesterday when I gave him donkey of the day. So once again, how am I protecting him? Because he said what he meant and you're changing around what he meant.
Starting point is 00:13:10 No, no, I'm judging him based off what he said, not what he meant. What he said was slavery was a choice and that was a dumb statement. So once again, how am I protecting him? You're protecting him because he said slavery was a choice and that's what he meant. And you're telling us.
Starting point is 00:13:26 Am I on drugs this morning? I don't know. Am I being punked? Do y'all really? Do y'all know I have my green tea and my egg whites yet? Y'all just trying to scratch me out this morning. Is that what it is? That got to be what it is, right?
Starting point is 00:13:35 No, that's facts. That's facts, man. And that's why I feel like I feel that dude off of TMZ who came at him correct and confronted him. And you up here protecting them. And I mean, that's like a Kellyanne Conway move. All right, let's move on. Thank you very much for calling. Have a great Thursday.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Van Lathan is my guy, but once again, I'm not judging Kanye West by what he meant to say. I'm judging him by what he said. I gave him donkey today, and I thought slavery was a choice. It was the dumbest thing he could ever say in front of white people. So how did I protect him again? All I know is you cannot go to Starbucks until at least Monday. I'm going to Starbucks right now.
Starting point is 00:14:08 That dude just drove me to Starbucks. I'm sorry. Okay. If he's some liquor or some Starbucks, y'all rather me go to Starbucks right now. The last caller just drove me to have to drink something. I got to go to Starbucks. All right.

Starting point is 00:16:50 I don't know. Mind calling Mama? That's not your mom. Hello. I thought that was a Southern thing. All right, Mama. Yeah, I don't know. All right, Mama.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Good morning, you guys. How are you doing? Hey, Mama. I'm just upset because it's like there's crowdfunding sites, and I know there's people out there who are just trying to use it as a get-rich-quick scheme. But I'm in a situation where I do need it, and I feel like some people look at me like, oh, she's just trying to get some money. But I'm actually trying to have a business.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Me and my fiance are. And it's like our year of business has not been great because we've had major things happen with our purchases. It's like, we, this is what we wanted. We got it, but didn't make sure it was what it was. And it's like,
Starting point is 00:17:32 it has been a downfall. That was our only thing we had. And it's like, we can't get anywhere. We lost it, but we're trying to make ends meet. And that was our only form of income. So what do you,
Starting point is 00:17:44 what are you raising money for again, baby? It's for our business. It's on Twitter. And why should we donate to this business? Tell me. Well, we took our income tax money last year to purchase a truck. A food truck. Just the truck part, not the trailer.
Starting point is 00:18:01 But we purchased it, and the people who we bought it from, which was a company, it was a piece of shit. Excuse the trailer, but we purchased it and the people who we bought it from, which was a company, it was a piece of s***. Excuse the language, sorry. But the prices for the repairs equal the price of what the truck costs and we can't make any money.
Starting point is 00:18:17 We told the company, we're like, how do you expect us to make payments when our truck is constantly in the shop? It's like... I'm going to be honest with you. That ain't crowdfunding worthy, boo. I'm sorry. You made a bad investment. You just made a bad investment and like a lot of people who make bad investments, you just got to dig
Starting point is 00:18:33 yourself out of that hole. I'm not going to lie. That is not crowdfunding worthy, okay? It's just not. Okay. I don't know what else to tell you. I don't pick up an extra job, you and the hubby. Good luck and keep working, man. It's a bad investment that happens to the best of us, and just keep going. Keep going hard.
Starting point is 00:18:47 I bought a car wash one time that when I say I lost so much money in that damn car wash, I was so happy to get rid of it. Yeah, that's not how entrepreneurship works or investing works. You can't make an investment, lose your money, and then go ask a bunch of people to give you the money back. All of us got a little bit of debt somewhere. Right. Sorry, boo.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Sorry, mama. You know what I'm saying? Maybe you tell your man get to pick debt somewhere. Right. Sorry, boo. Sorry, mama. You know what I'm saying? Maybe you tell your man get to pick up an extra job. Tell some weed. No, don't sell no weed. But just keep working hard. I'm sure it'll come back around, all right? Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Have a blessed day. Damn, she didn't even say have a blessed day back. Because she mad because we didn't give her the green light to go out here banging people for money because she made a bad investment. That didn't work out for her. Come on, man. That's not the way this works. Stop it. That's why people send me their GoFundMe link sometime,
Starting point is 00:19:27 and I reply back, go yourself. Goodness gracious. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up anytime. Yee. Yes. We got any rumors coming up?
Starting point is 00:19:36 Yes. Let's talk about Will.i.am. Find out what he had to say about Kanye's slavery comments and why his heart is broken from it. Also, Cardi B, she's feeling like it's her against the world. We'll tell you what's going on. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked.
Starting point is 00:19:49 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.
Starting point is 00:20:01 Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, What I Am was on Good Morning Britain, and he talked about Kanye's controversial TMZ Live interview in which he said that slavery was a choice. Here is what Will.i.am said about how that conversation affected him. That broke my heart because I thought about my grandma, who was born in 1920, and my grandmother's grandma, who was a slave. And when you're a slave, you're owned. That's by force. I understand the need to have free thought. But if your thoughts aren't researched, that is just going to hurt those that are still in conditions where it's not choice that when they go down the street, there's a liquor store and fast food restaurants and your education is not being funded the same way it is in Calabasas.
Starting point is 00:20:47 So that statement was one of the most ignorant statements that anybody that came from the hood could ever say about their ancestors. And it's not free thought if you're just regurgitating a bunch of conservative talking points that you saw on Breitbart. Now, he goes on to say that he hopes it's not to raise awareness so you could sell some records and some shoes because that would be the worst thing to do and to benefit from that. Chris Brown said on Instagram, I don't give a F. This man is a clown. Our song just went platinum. But F that. Come on, brah.
Starting point is 00:21:17 And if any flunkies got a problem, see me, please. Please, black people, do not follow this N-word on his path to destruction. All right. Now, Eve was on her show as well on the talk, and here's what she had to say about Kanye's statements. I can't understand how a black man that was born on the south side of Chicago could have these ideas. I can't understand how also, which I just found out a friend of mine told me that his mother, may she rest in peace, was an African-American studies professor. You cannot have these ideas without facts to back them up.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Slavery is a fact. And we are still feeling the effects of slavery. None of these people are wrong. I mean, slavery was a choice, was an inaccurate, ignorant ass statement. Nobody chose to enroll in slavery. Nobody went down to slavery to fill out a job application. Nobody chose to pledge slave for IU. All right. Now, Eve goes on to clarify whose music she thinks you should listen to.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Let me tell you something. At the end of the day, we all got lucky and got plucked out of our hoods and lived these amazing lives. But you cannot be so far in your bubble to think that you are not a part of what this history is. It hurts my feelings. It hurts my actual feelings. Any young brothers out there looking at me, listening to me today, pick up some Nas, pick up some Damian Marley, pick up some J. Cole, pick up some Kendrick Lamar.
Starting point is 00:22:33 Listen to these artists. I am done with Kanye. All that music is great that she told people to listen to, but, you know, reading the book is good too. All right, well, I guess because Kanye's an artist, she's saying you have a choice when it comes to what music you want to consume. Yeah, but when you're talking about history, you know, reading a book is good too. All right, well, I guess because Kanye's an artist, she's saying you have a choice when it comes to what music you want to consume. Yeah, but when you're talking about history, you know, reading the book is better. And Kanye is going to be putting the finishing touches on his album.
Starting point is 00:22:52 He has left to go back to the mountaintop, and he's back in Wyoming. That's where he's been working on his music. It's going to be very interesting to see when Kanye drops some music or when Kanye drops a new sneaker, if everybody got the same energy they got right now. Well, we'll find out on Saturday because his Yeezy collection actually goes live on Saturday. $400 shorts. Really?
Starting point is 00:23:12 $450 tights. Tights? Mm-hmm. What? For women? For women tights or something? I am not sure exactly what it's going to be. But there's also a petition online.
Starting point is 00:23:22 And that is on Care2. And they're asking Adidas to boycott Kanye West. So far, they're trying to get 10,000 signatures. They're almost at 5,000. And that petition says, while Kanye can live safely in his multi-million dollar castle, the rest of Black America
Starting point is 00:23:37 is continually marginalized and subject to unjust laws and treatment. Some even die because this behavior is so ingrained in our society. Kanye West has a right to free speech, and he has the right to spout lies and misinformation and misplaced opinions, but we as consumers have the right to fight back against this type of dangerous propaganda. Yeah, so you as consumers, you boycott,
Starting point is 00:23:59 because Adidas is not going to boycott Kanye West. You know why? Because Adidas is not just selling clothes to black America. But not only that, Kanye, he didn't say anything that was against the law. He didn't say anything racist. It was ignorant.
Starting point is 00:24:11 It was ignorant. It was stupid. You just like what he said? Yeah. It was dumb as hell. So I guess we'll know soon enough what is going to happen when those numbers start coming in,
Starting point is 00:24:17 when that album comes out, when the clothes drop this weekend, when the sneakers come out. All right, I'm Angela Yee. By the way, you can't sneak to buy no sneakers. You can sneak into Starbucks, all right? But you can't sneak to buy no sneakers. You can sneak into Starbucks, all right?
Starting point is 00:24:27 But you can't sneak to buy no sneakers. I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. No, the crazy thing is I wore my Yeezys the other day. They was like, throw them away. Nah, baby. Ain't nobody throwing their Yeezys. Although I did see some people sell theirs. Throw them away. Don't sell them.
Starting point is 00:24:38 So you still, that's what I'm saying. So you're selling them, people still buying them. You still profiting off them. I don't own any Yeezys. I don't own none either, but I can't wait to see if everybody keep the same energy. Ain't nobody buying no Yeezy tights, though. Yeah, nobody buying Yeezy tights. But Sleuth, Alla, Chubby, Kanye, West fans are going to need some liposuction to fit in them tights, okay?
Starting point is 00:24:53 You know what? What? Up next, we have front page news. What are we talking about? I thought you had to cast a deal with white people. Oh, after front page news. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Yes, we are going to be talking about Donald Trump. He just got nominated for a Nobel Prize. Who? What kind of Nobel Prize? We'll tell you about it in Front Page News. All right. That's next. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some Front Page News. Quick NBA recap. Last night, the Utah Jazz beat the Houston Rockets. They tied the series.
Starting point is 00:25:27 They won 116-108. Okay. Now, tonight, the Sixers play the Celtics and the Cavs play the Raptors. Now, let's talk about your president, Donald Trump. Yes, your president, Donald Trump, has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. Now, the nomination was spearheaded, of course, by some of the Republicans, including Luke Messer, who is locked in a DOP primary battle for a Senate seat in Indiana. In the letter, it says, since taking office, President Trump has worked tirelessly to apply
Starting point is 00:25:55 maximum pressure on North Korea to end its illicit weapons programs and bring peace to the region. When Donald Trump was in Michigan during a re-election rally on Saturday, the crowd started chanting, Nobel, Nobel, while Donald Trump was discussing his efforts in North Korea. You're going to give a Nobel Peace Prize
Starting point is 00:26:13 to a man who cheated on his wife with porn stars and paid her hush money? You're going to give a Nobel Peace Prize to a man whose administration is being investigated by the FBI? You're going to give a Nobel Peace Prize to a man who has caused more division in America than any president in recent years.
Starting point is 00:26:25 So can you just nominate anyone? Probably can pay for it. Because I don't know how this works. Now there's four presidents in the United States who have been Nobel Peace Prize winners. Barack Obama's one of them. Yes, he is. Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Jimmy Carter are all Nobel winners.
Starting point is 00:26:41 And hopefully Donald Trump will not be. Alright, now let's talk about what happened on Southwest. Now I know when I was on vacation, MB, you talked about a story about a woman who died from the injuries from when she was nearly sucked out of a blown out window on a Southwest flight out of LaGuardia. Well, now something else has happened. That's what they get.
Starting point is 00:26:59 I don't even need to hear the story. That's what they get for flying Southwest. That big bus in the sky. Apparently there was a crack in the window. A window's what they get for flying Southwest. That big bus in the sky. Apparently there was a crack in the window. A window cracked mid-air. Sounds about right. It was said there was a loud pop. The pilot came out. The flight was going to Newark from Chicago
Starting point is 00:27:14 so they had to do an emergency landing in Cleveland. They said it was pretty tense and they still did have pressure in the cabin but they didn't know how much longer they were going to have it. Fortunately for them, they did manage to make that landing, but there was a crack in the window. You get what you pay for, okay? I keep telling y'all, why would y'all want to fly on something that when you walk on it,
Starting point is 00:27:33 they tell you to pick your seat? Every man, a woman for themselves. Ain't nobody got time for that, okay? It's a bus in the sky. I've never heard of a window cracking on a plane. That is crazy. Right. It's Southwest.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Don't say it's crazy. It's Southwest. That was about right to me. We did have an incident when I was very young. I'll never forget this flight. I was on with my parents. Have you guys ever had
Starting point is 00:27:50 the oxygen mask pop down? Nope. While you were on a flight? One time. That happened to me once. Apparently, somebody pushed the door open a little bit
Starting point is 00:27:57 while we were up in the air and all of a sudden it got very rocky. The flight attendants, one of them turned like sheet white. She lost her mind. Everybody was going crazy.
Starting point is 00:28:07 Then the oxygen mask popped down, and you had to breathe through the oxygen mask until they were able to land the flight. Does Southwest even serve snacks? Do they even got water on Southwest? I don't think they have snacks. I think they do have water. You put me on a Southwest flight one time. I never put you on a Southwest flight. Yes, you did.
Starting point is 00:28:21 He did put us on a Southwest flight. Yes, you did. You did put us on a Southwest flight. He wasn't on that flight, but somehow we were. Yeah, you put us on a Southwest flight. Yes, you did. You did put us on a Southwest flight. He wasn't on that flight, but somehow we were. Yeah, you put us on that Southwest flight. Never happened. I think we were going to South Carolina
Starting point is 00:28:30 for something. I was like, I want y'all to come down. I got your flights. Never happened. And I think somebody had a goat or something. There was a goat on the flight? Getting on the flight.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Not true. Never happened. It was a crazy situation. Well, only Southwest lets people bring goats on their flight, okay? All right? That's another strike against Southwest. They let you have goats on the flight.
Starting point is 00:28:47 I remember that flight, and then we landed at the hotel we stayed at. Actually, me and Paris had to go and buy our own sheets because we didn't want to sleep in the bed. Yeah, you did us dirty that year. All right, well, I'm Angelina. That's your front page news. That was in Paris. Flooded the toilet, too.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Oh, my goodness. All right. Now, when we come back too. Oh, my goodness. All right. Now, when we come back, we have the cast of Dear White People. You watch that show? Well, we'll talk about it when we come back. And I can't wait for season two, which premieres this Friday on Netflix. All right. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:29:15 We're on it. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building. A show I'm happy is coming back. The cast of Dear White People.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Hey. Say their names. Let them introduce themselves. Okay. Hey, guys. I'm Logan Browning. Samantha White. Yes.
Starting point is 00:29:40 A.K.A. Sam White. I'm Ashley Blaine Featherston. Joelle Brooks. I'm Antoinette Robertson, Coco Connors. Good morning. Good morning. Calandra. Calandria.
Starting point is 00:29:50 For people that don't know about Dear White People, explain to them what it is. Dear White People is a series that follows several students of color on the landscape of an Ivy League, predominantly white university. And racial tensions get to like an all-time high when a blackface party is thrown. So we follow each student individually and kind of see their lives and how they deal with racism and social injustice. Being a blackface in a white
Starting point is 00:30:16 place. Yes. A blackface in a white place. What letter is this show writing to white people? I think it's saying, see us, acknowledge us, hear us. You know, what we're saying about how we feel that we're treated at times is valid.
Starting point is 00:30:32 And we're being unapologetic about it. One of the best examples of that is when Sam White's boyfriend actually, Gabe, calls the cops. Right? At the party. White boy! I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:30:46 We don't just call the cops. Gabe was scared. He was scared, y'all. The last thing we do when we're scared is call the cops. Because that's even scarier. Yeah. And you know, there was a whole debate, and we've been having this debate about white people using the N-word in songs. When they're singing along to Future, Trap,
Starting point is 00:31:02 N-words, and he's saying the word like it's okay. Not Gabe for clarification. Another white guy. Although Gabe can't do that either. No. And Sam makes sure he knows that. Right and it turns into a whole debate and they get into an argument about that and then
Starting point is 00:31:18 Gabe is the person that actually calls the cops and he's white and he's your boyfriend Sam on the show. Have you guys ever been around somebody white using the n-word singing along to a song? Not I said the fly. He's white and he's your boyfriend, Sam, on the show. Have you guys ever been around somebody white using the N-word singing along to a song? Not I, said the fly. Not me. Nobody's doing it with me. And if they were, they wouldn't still be, right? Nope. I don't play that. You're about to come out with your own
Starting point is 00:31:34 Dr. Seuss, Dear White People book or something? I'll even, like, if I'm in the car and, like, I hear people, like, blasting rap music and they're white, I'm always, like, looking to be like, are you about to say it? What are you about to do? It makes my eye twitch. I see it all the time, though. You don't see it at a club or party you never see? All the time.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Yes. Just to play white devil's advocate, can't you see where it's a little confusing for them? I cannot. I do. I understand. That's what I don't know. But that's what I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:56 I understand why it might be confusing, but I still don't get why people use the word. You're thinking, oh, I like the song. I can sing it. I'm like, yeah, but that's still a line you can't cross. So I feel like some people, like, debating that, it's not a debate. Like, you can't use this word.
Starting point is 00:32:12 That's it, period. Can they hum it? No. By the same token, I just kind of feel like that's like if a black person said, you know, well, we endured slavery for so long, we should be able to call white people, like, I don't know, crackers or something.
Starting point is 00:32:25 We can! Crackers, crackers, colonizer, mayonnaise. I'm so mad! No, but my point is that I don't think that you're not walking around being like, well, just because of slavery, I'm able to say it. Like, I guess, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:32:41 I say it out of a reaction for the way that my people have been oppressed. Now, Logan, your character really intrigues me because she's so militant on the show, but she does date a white guy. You know, you think that people lose a level of blackness when they date outside of their race?
Starting point is 00:32:57 I don't want to think that. I think that there is a part of your blackness that you get to explore deeper when you are in a relationship with another person of your same ethnicity. It's a choice. It's a choice that everybody has to
Starting point is 00:33:13 make. Have you guys ever dated a white boy? I have not. I've only dated black men. I did. And it was an interesting bring you home to family kind of situation. I have a Jamaican mother. Hey, you're coming to dinner. What one white boy, white brethren?
Starting point is 00:33:32 So they're having little conversations that went over his head. He's like, wait, so what are they talking about right now? See, I can't do it. I'm not cut out for it. You're not cut out to do it? No. You're not cut out to bring him home? No, bringing him home would be fine.
Starting point is 00:33:48 It's just that would irritate. I need you to understand what I'm talking about. I don't want to have to explain. What are you going to be saying that he's not going to understand? I don't know. Even if it's just like I wouldn't even want to be in a situation where he's like, oh, like you guys are eating like yams and collard greens and shit. I'm like, What's that?
Starting point is 00:34:05 Where does that come from? And I'd have to be like, well, when we were slaves, we had to... You know what? I just don't... See, you better than me. I'd say KFC, mother...
Starting point is 00:34:14 I just don't want to be... I need you to just get it. What about all of us dating Asian men? I'm sorry, what? You said, have we dated Asian men? Why do we get so quiet? You said, have we dated Asian men? Yes, that was based off of what Issa Rae put in her book
Starting point is 00:34:29 that all of a sudden everybody got mad at that educated black women should just get with Asian men because what about Asian men because they have a surplus of men in China they do like they outnumber women like 27 or something crazy because they used to get rid of the women because they could only have one kid.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Yeah, they used to get rid of the baby girls. I mean, I think that educated black women should date whoever the hell they want to. You know what I mean? On an opposite spectrum, black women are men that it's important to them to be with someone else that's black. I feel like sometimes we're shamed for that too. Like when I say that it is important to me that I marry a black man, because I've said that many
Starting point is 00:35:09 a time, I'll continue to say it, that's important to me, particularly from where we come from and how that was prohibited, we were pulled apart, I want to pull us back together. You know, that's less likely, especially when you go to school that's so mixed. You know, because I look at my daughter now, she goes to a mixed school where I don't really see her dating a black person right now.
Starting point is 00:35:28 That's why I want her to go to an HBCU so bad, because she doesn't see it. I went to Howard. That was so, Howard, being at Howard just changed my life. It's interesting you went to Howard because, you know, so is it a stretch to play a black woman going to an Ivy League school? No, it's not a stretch because I grew up in the D.C. area, but I went to predominantly white schools growing up. So that was a huge reason why I went to Howard because I wanted that
Starting point is 00:35:51 experience. My experience prior to that was more like Winchester. But as far as my college experience, it's completely different than Joelle's. And you didn't have no white women walking up to you asking about your hair? I did not. I did not. I did not. That happens on dear white people. It does. I mean, that was my
Starting point is 00:36:07 experience. I didn't realize, like, you almost don't even realize it until you do. Like, I was the only black girl on my entire hall, in my building, and I really didn't realize it until one thing would happen. You know, one little thing, somebody say something to you, and you go, oh, damn, like. Or you realize, by myself.
Starting point is 00:36:24 But you realize, too, who can you talk to about it? You can't be like, girl, you ain't got nobody to talk to about it. But there is, but still on a predominantly white campus, just like Winchester, there are pockets of black people and they stick together. That you hang out with your own little mini-agency. That's how my college
Starting point is 00:36:40 was. As a matter of fact, the black guys at my school, they would have like a black girlfriend but then they would go to the sorority and the fraternity parties and the white ones, and it'd be like a whole different world. So they would cheat on their girlfriend with these white girls, but it was so segregated. They never even did that. Pads would never even cross, so nobody would know because it was like having a whole different world. I just want to raise my hand and say this.
Starting point is 00:37:02 There's a lot of guys who, if you're a black man and you date a black woman, if you cheat with a white girl, they don't consider it cheating. But don't worry about that. Is that a real thing? I've heard that before. That's not true. What are you saying? I've heard that before. I've just heard that before.
Starting point is 00:37:17 So what do they consider it? Just like exploring a fetish or something? If it's white, it's out of sight. That's what I've heard. Lie. I don't know anything about that. So does that mean if black women cheat with a white man, is out of sight so it's just like that's what i've heard goodbye it makes it okay right now i don't know anything about that so does that mean if black women cheat with a white man it doesn't yeah how you feel about that that's just that's just wrong why be a sellout why you want to be a seller why you want to just sell out your people why you want to why you just want to sell out why you just want to sell out your people like that why all right we'll
Starting point is 00:37:41 be back with the cast of dear white people so 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. We have the cast of Dear White People in the building. Charlamagne? Now, one of the tips from Dear White People was when you ask someone who looks ethnically different,
Starting point is 00:37:58 what are you? People ask me that all the time. You know? What do you say? I say I'm a Capricorn. Sometimes, I mean, you know, then I'm like, what do you mean? I say I'm a Capricorn sometimes. I mean, you know, then I'm like, what do you mean? And then they ask, oh, well, what ethnicity?
Starting point is 00:38:13 Because my last name is Yee, you know, and then people will be like, oh, are you Dominican? Are you this? Are you that? What are you? Well, then white people, they said a person that's about to slap the s**t out of you. You have a problem with that? Somebody asking you your nationality? I don't.
Starting point is 00:38:23 It's how you say it. If you say, what are you? Like, that's asking, like, I'm a human. What do you mean? What am I? What I don't like is when people say, well, you have to be mixed with something because you're this. Yeah, you're pretty. Making the association that a woman who is, I mean, of course, we're all mixed in some capacity, but like, assuming
Starting point is 00:38:40 that you have to be mixed to be beautiful or you have to be mixed to have certain feet, I don't know. No, I was very confused about the character of Coco at first, whether or not I, how I felt about her. You know, because she's very sweet, but then there's certain things that she does that would irritate me sometimes. Mean girl.
Starting point is 00:38:55 For sure. You know, just really like the whole, I guess really trying to fit in. Yeah. In certain spaces when I was like, well, why is she doing that? And so how did you feel about that character? And how can you explain her?
Starting point is 00:39:06 The way that I, I mean, I feel like when you read it on the page, if you don't add depth to it, people are going to just see her as just vapid or she's just very superficial. But from my understanding, my thought process about it was if I grew up in a world that veered towards a Eurocentric ideal of beauty and I saw other girls with weaves and stuff while my hair was natural and they were getting all the attention from the men what would I do to be noticed
Starting point is 00:39:35 from men? If you think about it, there are moments where we do different things because we want to be loved and ultimately everybody wants to be loved and have some kind of validation. So for Coco, the Sam and Coco feud happened
Starting point is 00:39:52 I don't know if you watched all of her season but like Coco was doing everything to be with Troy and then her best friend dated Troy. So that's when you start to see the mean girl coming out of Coco it's coming from a place of pain. And then dealing
Starting point is 00:40:08 with the whole colorism issue. Especially with the hair issue. Like, oh, your hair looks so nice. Exactly. What kind of hair is that? And then when she looks at me, I'm like, mine's too. And she's like, eh. I got a question for all three of y'all. Based off what you just said, have you ever felt the need to conform to white standards of beauty as a
Starting point is 00:40:24 black women? When I was modeling, and I didn't know any better, yes. Because I was told very, very blunt, like specifically, you're way prettier with straight hair. That's it. Like, that's what we want from you. We don't want you to wear your hair natural. And I left that agency and ended up going to Ford.
Starting point is 00:40:44 And when I wore my hair curly, I started working so much more. And I didn't understand that I was empowering people by choosing to just be comfortable and accept myself the way that I was. I was just kind of like, well, no, I want to do something different. And now that I can, now that I understand it, like having that black girl magic moment for Coco, walking down those stairs with natural hair, unsure of the man whose attention I was vying for, who I got to weave for, and all of these things for would accept me, how I looked naturally, and then having him say, I don't care about your hair, was such a beautiful moment.
Starting point is 00:41:17 I don't know that I, well, I'm remembering now, I remember in high school, wanting colored contacts. No, Ashley. Yeah, I was wearing like... Yeah. All my high school friends were like, oh my god, I remember. Don't pull out any pictures, y'all. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:41:35 Oh, I had them. Yeah, I was out here with the hazel eyes. Yeah, different colors? Green. Did people need to ask you, are those your real eyes, and you say yes? For sure. I don't know what and you say yes? For sure. Absolutely. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:41:51 I'm saying all this to say, though, so I'm like, what, 15 maybe? I don't, in retrospect, that probably is what I was trying to do. I thought that that would make me more attractive. Because people are like, oh, your eyes are so pretty. More exotic, look different than just the dark-skinned black girl I am. I think it was how the imagery around me was affecting me, subconsciously. It was like, that looks more interesting, maybe.
Starting point is 00:42:14 It might have been a phase, but I gotta be honest about it. I was rocking that. Logan, what about you, Logan? That is some news. She's like, I got my fake contacts right now. Damn. That is some news. I got my fake contacts in right now. Damn.
Starting point is 00:42:34 I've never felt like I've had to conform to European standards, but I do feel like I've had to constantly try to find, do I lean more? Am I more white? Am I more black? Do I wear fila? Do I wear fubu? Do I more white? Am I more black? Do I wear Fila? Do I wear FUBU? Do I wear... What do I wear?
Starting point is 00:42:51 No, seriously, like, where I grew up, I grew up in a very nice neighborhood in the worst county in Georgia. I went to public school growing up. So my mom traveled for a living. I wore things from London and Paris to this public school So I, I, my mom traveled for a living. I wore things from London and Paris to this public school where we like, we don't wear things from London and Paris. And so I got made fun of a lot, a lot. And so then I thought, okay, mom, you gotta, I can't like, I gotta
Starting point is 00:43:15 survive and you, I need to, we need to change this up. Like I need to fit in. And so, and then after that I went to, came to LA, I ended up going to private school. Oh, crap. I got to fit in. Mom, we got to change this up. I got to start cutting. I got to go back to London and Paris. Yeah, I got to cut my hair like the white girls. They have layers.
Starting point is 00:43:32 I need to straighten my hair, cut it like the white. So, yeah, I guess I was, but it was depending on the environment I was in. It went both ways for me. So you adapted. Oh, man. Call me stupid. Pardon my ignorance. You're biracial in real life.
Starting point is 00:43:44 Both of my parents are black. Oh, okay. So you're not biracial. Actually, you know what? I am going to go ahead and say this right here. I've never said this in public. I'm adopted. Wow.
Starting point is 00:43:53 And I was raised by black parents. I've never met my parents. My birth mom was white and my dad was black, but I've never met them. Oh, wow. Okay, okay. Yeah. Got you. I've literally waited my whole life to say that out loud.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Well, thank you for sharing that. Thank you for sharing that, Samantha. I mean, Logan. Honestly, it's made it very, honestly, this is the most freeing moment of probably my entire life and career because it has made it very difficult for me to explain how I relate to Sam and how I don't
Starting point is 00:44:21 because I was raised with black parents. I was raised black. Like, I'm black, but I don't look black to people, and so I don't because I was raised with black parents. I was raised black. I'm black, but I don't look black to people and so I don't understand. But do you know what I mean? They see the light eyes. They go, what are you mixed with? And they say, what are you mixed with?
Starting point is 00:44:35 But I was raised with black. But then I go, oh, but I am. It's a confusing identity for me. When did you find out when you were adopted? My parents told me very young. I think I was like five in the bathtub. My mom was like,
Starting point is 00:44:50 Logan, I have to tell you something. You are my daughter. But somebody else gave birth to you. I was like, but you're my mommy. She was like, I'm your mommy. I was like, cool. Did you even know what that was? I think I did.
Starting point is 00:45:02 The rest of my life, I think I did. That's just kind of what it was. How did you eventually come to grips with your identity? Well, I'm coming to grips with it. Actually, I have a file that tells me what happened. And it tells me that my mom was 18. She was young. She got pregnant by a white guy in the Army. And I came out. They had a big Catholic wedding.
Starting point is 00:45:26 I came out and I was not white. She had an affair with a 34-year-old black man who was married with who just had a kid. So that I think fed into like am I being rejected by a white man like I was as a child?
Starting point is 00:45:42 All those things play into my head and I think literally this is the most freeing experience because I've always been like I was as a child. All those things play into my head and I think literally this is the most freeing experience because I've always been like, nope, nope, nope, doesn't exist for me because I've never said it out loud. Doesn't exist, doesn't exist. Let's get this Logan Browning scripted series going. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:45:59 Well, thank you so much. Yeah, man. Y'all cool as hell, man. Thank you. It's dope when you watch a show and you like it but then you meet the cast and they're actually like cool as hell. Thank you. Proud man. Y'all cool as hell, man. Thank you. It's dope when you watch a show and you like it, but then you meet the cast and they're actually like cool as hell. Thank you. Proud of you guys, too. Yeah, this is dope.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Hold on. Is Lena Waithe joining this season? She is. She is. As a regular? No. I was about to say. She's popping in, but she's in that thing.
Starting point is 00:46:18 She's hilarious. You'll have to see. You'll have to see. Where's Lena get all this time from? Lena will make time. You'll have to see. Where did they get all this time from? Lena will make time. 24 hours in a day. Are there other guest appearances we should know about in the new season? Rachel Dozal, I heard, is going to be playing a professor.
Starting point is 00:46:34 Is that true? That's a rumor? Kip Fury. Kip Fury. Todrick Hall. Some other people. Some other people. But when you see it, you're going to be like, why didn't they tell us?
Starting point is 00:46:45 Is Kip Fury playing himself or is he playing a student? Who? He's playing a student. He's hilarious. No. No. I love Kip Fury. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Thank you guys for joining us. The cast of Dear White People. Thank you. This is a blast. You guys are awesome. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:47:08 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Kevin Hart. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:47:25 Well, Kevin Hart, it turns out that the person who actually tried to extort him, Jonathan Todd Jackson, who's facing two felony counts now for attempted extortion and extortion by threatening letter, was actually a friend of Kevin Hart's. They've known each other for more than 15 years. That's crazy. Yes, Jackson was in Think Like a Man 2. He was in the movie Naked.
Starting point is 00:47:48 And the two even have several posts together throughout the years. As a matter of fact, Jonathan Ty Jackson was even at Kevin Hart's bachelor party. No.
Starting point is 00:47:58 Man. Isn't that crazy? The people closest to you would be the ones... That is crazy. I mean, that's the saddest thing about betrayal, right? That it never comes from your enemies.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Now, Kevin tweeted out, Mind blown. Hurt. At a loss for words and simply in complete disbelief at the moment. Wow. I got a pet peeve, though. What? I hate when people say they had a loss for words and then continue to use words after
Starting point is 00:48:20 you say they had a loss for words. He don't know what to say after that. He don't know what to say. But he definitely had no what to say after that. All right. Well, I'm sure we'll get more into that this morning. But let's had a loss for words. He don't know what to say after that. He definitely didn't know what to say after that. I'm sure we'll get more into that this morning. He's definitely donkey today. He deserves it. That is crazy. He's in jail right now.
Starting point is 00:48:34 Good. By the way. Alright, Kodak Black. He is changing his name and it's legal and all of that. His name is now Bill K. Capri. K. Capri? Bill K. Capri. Why? Capri? Bill K. Capri. Why? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:48:47 He wants a fresh start, I guess, in the middle of everything that's been going on with him. So now his name is Bill. It's not about changing your name. It's about changing your lifestyle, Kodak Black. It's about changing your behavior. It's about changing the people around you. That's what's going to keep you out of jail. His real name was Dayusan Octave or something.
Starting point is 00:49:03 How did he get Bill from that? I don't know. He just wants the new name. Bill K. Capri. You trying to sound less Haitian? I don't know what he's doing, but I guess he felt he needed something. I don't know what's going on. Alright, now what is happening with this whole She Bad
Starting point is 00:49:18 song? That's a standout song on the Cardi B album, right? She Bad, her featuring YG. DJ Musta did the beat. It's a tough tune. Cardi B has been going through a lot as she's waiting to have this baby. Now she posted it's like Cardi B versus the world. Then she wrote, you know what? I'm not
Starting point is 00:49:34 going to let MFs drive me crazy. You will love it if I was a bum or lose everything tomorrow. I'm going to just eat, go to the studio and post my looks and my music. I'm done being social. People don't deserve real N-words. So I guess she feels like people have been harassing her, bothering her. Now, one thing that did happen was
Starting point is 00:49:50 Cash Doll was trying to post her original verse. And I guess originally she was on the song. With YG? Mm-hmm. All right, this was before, I guess, Cardi was on it. And here is what it sounded like. She bad, that's fat. They mad, too bad.
Starting point is 00:50:05 My sauce, too thick. My ish, from scratch. My pizza, it's fast. My ass, it match. My bank account is bigger than that. And a Porsche, but of course, Thor bread, that's a horse. I'ma make these bitches love me. I ain't leaving them mature. Either Gucci or Chanel, yeah, cause they're my kind of toys. If it ain't about that, then kill that noise So she tried to post it on SoundCloud and it got blocked
Starting point is 00:50:29 And here was her explanation She said it's no beef with Cardi or anything like that But of course, everybody tried to rile it up like it was beef And here's what she said she really was annoyed about Alright, I did the song back in January Cause YG asked me to feature on it So I got on the song and, you know, I'm like, whatever. Gave them the feature, didn't hear nothing else about it.
Starting point is 00:50:48 Then when our album project came out, the song was on it. So I just left it alone. I'm like, I'm not even about to mention it or say nothing about it because it's like, whatever. But since I couldn't give y'all the check video, I'm like, all right, I'm going to just give them the remix so that they could, you know, have something to hold them over. I'll go and put it up on SoundCloud,
Starting point is 00:51:07 and they blocked it. All right, now, Dreezy also tweeted out, damn, he had all us on that song. But she said she's not trying to. So I guess she originally was supposed to be on it. But that would kind of be a hot remix with all of them on it. What YG got to say?
Starting point is 00:51:23 YG hasn't said nothing. Lil Duvall said he was on it, too. Yeah, I heard that. Lil Duvall just said he was on it. What YG got to say? YG hasn't said nothing. Lil Duvall said he was on it too. Yeah, I heard that. Lil Duvall didn't say he was on it. This is what I think happened. I think YG recorded three different verses with three different young ladies and by the time the song...
Starting point is 00:51:36 Well, no, he don't even got an album out. No, he probably did the record and then Cardi B needed a record for her album. Cardi B said she heard it and she said she wanted that song for her album. So he gave it to her for her album. Yeah, okay. Yeah, that's all that happens. So it shouldn't be no
Starting point is 00:51:47 beef. That happens all the time. It happens all the time in the music industry. You always hear like, oh, this was the version. This person was on it originally. But then, you know, it always happens. Producers do it. Artists do it. That was his song. But nobody's trying to be for anybody. So, you know, it's just, I guess, Cash Doll wanted to put out what
Starting point is 00:52:02 her verse was because she liked her verse and then Jreezy said it was nothing. She just thought it's just, I guess, Cash Doll wanted to put out what her verse was because she liked her verse. And then Jreezy said it was nothing. She just thought it was funny. She said, damn, he had all this on that song. Just do the remix and throw all the ladies on it. That's what I think. Yeah, that's a ladies anthem anyway. She bad.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Great idea. Salute to Cash Doll, too. Cash Doll coming, by the way. But listen, I'm a fan of Cash Doll, so I'm excited for her. So there you have it. I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right.
Starting point is 00:52:26 Shelly Bane. Yes. Tell us who you're giving that donkey to. I want to talk more about this story about Jonathan Todd Jackson. All right. Kevin Hart's friend who was trying to extort him. This is sad, man. He's feces, boy.
Starting point is 00:52:37 This is sad. We need him to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him. All right. All right. We'll get to that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Good morning. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but Donkey of the Day is a new one. Yes, Donkey of the Day for Thursday, May 3rd goes to Jonathan Todd Jackson, a.k.a. Action Jackson, a.k.a. JT. Now, you probably have not a clue who Jonathan Jackson is because the only Jacksons we acknowledge are all related to Michael and Janet. Oh, and Bo. Okay, Bo knows.
Starting point is 00:53:24 You don't have a clue who Jonathan Todd Jackson is, but I'm about to tell you. Jonathan Todd Jackson is a 41-year-old friend of Kevin Hart. According to TMZ, he's been in movies like SWAT, Naked, and even in a movie starring Kevin Hart, Think Like a Man 2. Now, I know you might be thinking, just because you were in a movie with someone doesn't make you friends.
Starting point is 00:53:40 Wow! Jonathan and Kevin Hart have posted several pics together throughout the years, and Action Jackson even attended Kevin's bachelor party. Sounds like they were pretty good friends to me. Now, according to the New York Times, Action Jackson was a professional U.S. bowler, and according to the PBA, which is the Professional Bowlers Association, Jonathan has been a professional bowler since 2006, and his career earnings are a grand total of $3,255.00. He's a pro bowler.
Starting point is 00:54:13 Yes. I have no idea why him being a professional bowler is relevant to the story, but for whatever reason, when my brain processes this story, the fact that Jonathan Todd Jackson was a professional bowler with the nickname Action Jackson makes this story even more entertaining. In fact, if I had to run this story on my website, it would say, U.S. pro bowler throws Kevin Hart in the gutter. Because according to TMZ, Action Jackson is in jail on a $100,000 bail, facing a maximum sentence of four years because he was charged with attempted extortion and extortion by threatening letter because Jonathan Todd JT Action Jackson was attempting to extort his friend actor comedian Kevin Hart let's go to AOL.com for the report on Wednesday a man was charged with attempting to
Starting point is 00:54:57 extort money from actor Kevin Hart with a surreptitiously recorded video of the married comedian with a female according to the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office, 41-year-old Jonathan Todd Jackson, a pro-bowler, has been charged with attempted extortion by threatening letter. Jackson is accused of seeking an undisclosed amount of money from the 38-year-old Hart in August of 2017 and of also trying to sell a video of the Jumanji star in Las Vegas with a woman to numerous celebrity news websites.
Starting point is 00:55:26 If convicted, Jackson faces a maximum sentence of four years in prison. Niggas, I tell you, bro, this is why I feel like an open enemy is better than a false friend. Okay, I mean, this is a different type of guy code violation. This is worse than your friend telling your wife you was cheating. This is worse than your friend trying to holler at your wife. Now, both of those offenses would be ends to the friendship. But in this situation, Axl Jackson was trying to ruin Kevin's life.
Starting point is 00:55:50 He was trying to ruin his marriage, possibly ruin his livelihood. Thank God none of this happened, but damn, man. Jonathan Todd, Kevin's supposed to be your guy, a man you consider a friend. Y'all got several selfies together, okay? And you were willing to lose your friendship, possibly cause Kevin to lose his marriage and have people around you
Starting point is 00:56:07 lose all respect and integrity for you because you wanted to extort your man, your guy for some money? Crazy thing is, the Kevin Hart I know would probably have given you some money if you really needed it because you sound desperate, okay? Well, not $17 million. I mean, no, not no $17 million, but you do a little change, you know what I mean, to help get you through, okay? Because as a pro bowler with career earnings at $3,255, you clearly needed the money.
Starting point is 00:56:30 And I'm going to tell you something else about people like Jonathan Jackson. Any friend that turned into an enemy has been hating since day one. You've been jealous and envious of Kev for as long as you've known him or for however long Kev's been popping, okay? Because this wasn't just an extortion plot. He was trying to ruin Kevin's life. Now, I know what you're saying. Kevin almost ruined his own life by cheating.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Well, you know what? You're right, okay? But you know what a friend does in that situation? He tells Kev he was wrong. He tells Kev he was wiling. He tells Kev he got to do better because he got too much to lose. But a friend doesn't get a hold of the tape and try to sell it to every blog and then extort his so-called friend for money
Starting point is 00:57:06 Okay, this is a prime example of karma. Yes, Kev made a huge mistake, but ain't no good gonna come to you action Jackson We're trying to exploit that mistake and extort your friend now when the news broke yesterday Kevin tweeted out mind-blown hurt at a loss for words and simply in complete disbelief at the moment. Wow. Wow. I really hate when people say they're at a loss for words and then they go on to use more words after they said that, but that's neither here nor there.
Starting point is 00:57:33 Anyway, Action Jackson, you are facing four years in jail, but you are facing a lifetime of shame. Why ruin a great friendship over financial gain? Okay, personally, I think real friends are more important than finances, but what do I know? Okay, I'm just glad Action Jackson is in jail, and I'm glad people get to witness this karma, because when people do you wrong, there's no need for revenge. Just sit back and wait,
Starting point is 00:57:54 because those who hurt you will eventually screw up themselves, and if you're lucky, God will let you watch. And right now, Kevin Hart has a front row seat to watch his former friend pay for the dirt he attempted to do. Okay, this story is going to have everybody side-eyeing their friends all day, Hart has a front row seat to watch his former friend pay for the dirt he attempted to do. Okay? This story is going to have everybody side-eyeing their friends all day. And if you know what I know, you better. Because the saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies.
Starting point is 00:58:15 Please give Jonathan Todd Jackson the biggest hee-haw. He's a sucker. Like, I can't. How could he possibly be his Like nobody could ever talk to him I don't know You sound like you're at a loss for words He's definitely at a loss for words Nobody should be his friend ever again in life
Starting point is 00:58:36 Why are you still talking if you're at a loss for words Alright That's what I mean The moral of the story is always the same too Don't cheat. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir. Are you talking to me or not?
Starting point is 00:58:51 He's at a loss for words. He's at a loss for words. He's talking to me. Nothing. All right. Well, up next is Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, you can call her right now.
Starting point is 00:59:01 She'll help you with all your problems. All right. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee.
Starting point is 00:59:10 Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Brandon. Good morning. Good morning, Brandon. What's up, bro? Hey, what's going on? So how y'all doing this morning? Good, good, good.
Starting point is 00:59:19 What's the question today, Brandon, for Ask Yee? So basically, me and my girl, we've been together for almost four years. And, you know, we recently moved in together last year. And, you know, I started a decent job. So, you know, we both had a job. So we both knew that if we needed to pay the bills with one of our checks, we could. Well, recently she stopped working. And I told her, you know, that was fine while she
Starting point is 00:59:46 find another job, you know, I could take care of the bills like we agreed. So that's been going on a couple months now, you know, she's been looking, but it still seems like, you know, she hasn't really put forth so much effort. And then, you know, I'm paying all the bills and she doesn't feel like she needs to cook and clean everything, which, you know, it wasn't the agreement at first because we were both paying the bills. Right. So now it's like I'm paying the bills, but she still feels like it should be an equal share of things. Now I'm starting to feel some type of way. So, well, it's only been a couple of months. Right. And she has been looking for a job.
Starting point is 01:00:20 I mean, yeah, yeah. But, you know, I feel like it's a lot easier than what she's making it sometimes, you know? But am I being insensitive at that? Well, yeah, I'm going to be honest. Like, sometimes when things happen, she lost her job for whatever reason. She's trying to find another
Starting point is 01:00:37 job. It's really not easy on your ego when you're going out and looking for a job and maybe things aren't working out. You're not getting that call back. You're not getting that job right away. So it's really important for you to be supportive of her right now. You guys have been together for a while and it's got to be through thick and thin and you have to make sure
Starting point is 01:00:54 that you're supportive. Now you said you guys had an agreement before as far as paying bills, but right now obviously that agreement has changed because she's not working. So now it's time for you guys to come up with a new agreement for the period of time that she's not working. Now you can't approach her in a way, well, since you ain't working, you have to do this.
Starting point is 01:01:12 But I think it's important for you guys to discuss. Well, for now, while you're looking for another job, and I want to help you with that effort, and I know it's not easy, because it's not easy, as you might think, let's come to a certain agreement since you have more time to be in the house. Let's do this for now until you work again and then we can go back to how it was before. And in the meantime you do need to be supportive because
Starting point is 01:01:34 you don't know what she's feeling like. She might not even be telling you how discouraging it is when she's going out there. Sometimes it's hard for people to even put themselves out there to potentially be let down when something doesn't work out. So I think you should be sensitive to that. It has only been a couple of months.
Starting point is 01:01:50 Yeah. So, I mean, I feel like I've tried to approach the situation in a less aggressive way, you know, kind of taking it as, oh, well, do you mind doing this since you're not working so much? Is that like a bad way to phrase it? I think that you have to do this at a time when y'all are chilling, relaxing in a good mood. Maybe, you know, sitting down, get some takeout and hey, let's just figure these things out. Because you don't also want to feel bitter because sometimes the person who is bringing home the money feels like, well, I'm the one paying for everything.
Starting point is 01:02:23 And that attitude, because you guys are supposed to be a a team that's not a good attitude to have either and you don't want her to feel like damn he's paying for everything and I feel not worthy of certain things and so now he's telling me what I have to do because he's the person that has the power in the relationship you have to make it understood that I understand it's a difficult time right now so let's just come to a temporary agreement since we had a different agreement before, since our circumstances have changed temporarily, let's come up with an agreement so that you guys don't even have to keep on
Starting point is 01:02:53 discussing it where you don't have to ask, Oh, would you mind doing this? But it's already understood. Okay. Okay. You know, but please be supportive because you couldn't imagine what it would be like
Starting point is 01:03:03 for you if you weren't working and you had somebody telling you, well, you got to do this because you're not working right now. Just be aware of the way that might make her feel and how it might be hard to go out in the world trying to get a job, getting told no, feeling rejected and then coming home and feeling like, oh, man, you know, even my man is making me feel like a loser. Right. OK. You're right. All right. All right. Good luck. And I hope she finds some work soon and make sure you help her out, too, even if you see some good recommendations or even ask around to people, hey, do you know anybody hiring? My girl's looking for a job. You know, help out. Yeah, I've been trying.
Starting point is 01:03:36 You know, I appreciate that. Thank you, Yee. Okay. You're welcome. All right. All right. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 01:03:42 If you need relationship advice, hit her now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, hit it now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 01:03:53 How you doing? My name is Paul. I'm from Hamilton. I just had a question for Angela. So my girlfriend, she's going into the Air Force, and we've been living together for about, like, six months now. We'll be together for about a year next month. And she wants me to move with her when she leaves for the Air Force.
Starting point is 01:04:11 Okay. And I have a good job. I'm making good money. So I don't know. I'm stuck in the middle here because I don't want to end the relationship, but at the same time, I'm not trying to uproar my life and just leave. You know what I mean? Because I got family where I'm at.
Starting point is 01:04:25 And I just didn't know what to do. Well, first of all, just because she moves and you don't move with her doesn't mean you have to end the relationship, right? Yeah. Well, that's what she thinks. That's what she's saying, though. Like, she's saying, oh, so you don't want to move with me? So that means our relationship's over. Well, that seems like a selfish thing for her to say.
Starting point is 01:04:41 Because you do have a lot of things happening with yourself where you are. So I would recommend that you guys try to make it work and tell her let's revisit this conversation in a year after you're you know settle where you're at let's see if we can make this work long distance for a little while until we figure out what I can do because I'm pretty happy where I'm at and you also don't want to move somewhere and then things don't work out anyway you know I just feel like it's never a good idea to do something that you really don't want to move somewhere and then things don't work out anyway you know i just feel like it's never a good idea to do something that you really don't want to do when it comes to relationships in general you have to want to do it and who knows maybe a year from now you'll want to go move because you guys will be so much in love maybe you'll get adjusted to spending time
Starting point is 01:05:19 out there maybe it'll give you time to see if there's other opportunities but just let her know you're not ready to uproot your life right now. Tell her, let's, you know, work on our relationship for the next year. See how this works over that course of time. Give it a time limit. And then let her know, you know, during that time, you'll do some research. See about your occupation. What could you be doing out there?
Starting point is 01:05:39 And then if it makes sense and you guys, you know, both agree and she agrees that she wants to stay there, then we'll have another conversation about it. But right now you're not ready to make that move. Nuh-uh. Thank you very much, Angel. I appreciate it. You're welcome. Alright. Have a good day, guys. Alright, bro. Ask Yee. 805-851-051. If you need relationship advice, you can call Yee. We got rumors Yee on the way?
Starting point is 01:06:00 Yes, let's talk about Serena Williams. Her documentary is on HBO. We told you about the docuseries about Serena. So we'll talk to you about certain things that she has to say, especially the relationship she never anticipated she would be in. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.

Starting point is 01:06:26 All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:06:33 Yes, so have you guys had a chance to see the Being Serena documentary? It's a five-part docuseries that's on HBO. I know they put out the first part. Has anybody in here watched it yet? No, but I will. It's something about those type of documentaries that come on HBO that make you have to watch them. Right. Well, I got to make sure I only saw pieces of it so far. And one thing that she's focused on, of course, I mean, her body changing because she is an athlete.
Starting point is 01:06:59 So a lot of what she has to do has to do with her body and not being able to compete for a little while while she was having her baby. So she talks about that. She also talks about how she ended up with Alexis Ohanian, who is the founder of Reddit. And she says she never thought she would have married a white guy. She said, I'm an athlete. He's a business guy. I'm black. He's white.
Starting point is 01:07:18 We are total opposites. I think we just complement each other. I think we understand hard work in different ways. Here's a little piece from being serena alexis and i are completely opposite i'm an athlete he's a business guy i'm black he's white um we're total opposites i don't know why we're such a good fit i think we just complement each other i think we understand hard work in different ways. There are few people who have reached her heights who have that genuine passion, who have that genuine heart. And it's probably a big part of why I love her as much as I do.
Starting point is 01:07:54 Now, she also said she always educates him on racial injustices. And she said that love truly has no color. She said, I literally tell him, well, you know, there's such a difference between white people and black people. And he always gets to hear about things that happen, injustices that wouldn't happen if I were white. So she said it's very interesting. But ultimately, she
Starting point is 01:08:13 says, I wanted to be with someone who treated me nice, someone who was able to laugh with me, and someone who understood my life, and someone that loved me. And you know, I'm sure there are other people out there, but you know, Alexis is the one I connected with, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Oh, love is love. You know, Alexis, you just make sure you fix Serena's crown in the morning, okay? Alright, now let's
Starting point is 01:08:30 talk about this ex-MTV executive, Brian Graydon. Do you know him, Charlamagne? I don't know. Not that I remember. Well, he's being sued for alleged sexual abuse. Now, a Roviar Carrington has filed a lawsuit. Never seen him.
Starting point is 01:08:46 He got a joker smile. His smile look like the Joker, don't it? Roviar Carrington? Yeah, right there. Doesn't even look real. Yeah. Well, he's described as a very good-looking, mixed-race, charismatic young kid, and he says that back in 2010, that's when
Starting point is 01:09:02 he was invited out to dinner when he was trying to shop around several TV shows. One of those shows is about his own bisexual dating life. Now, according to Rovier Carrington, he says the executive drove him back to his house, started kissing him and then grew violent and said if he didn't have sex with him, he would destroy any chance he had of building a career in the entertainment industry. He said that he was so defeated that he did allow him to perform oral sex on him. Now, a few months later, he said that's when Gray invited him to a Golden Globes afterparty
Starting point is 01:09:34 and then proceeded to rape him without a condom as he was screaming, crying, and begging him to stop. So now there's this lawsuit against an ex-MTV executive because of all of that. Jesus Christ. Mm-hmm. All right, Bill Cosby, his name and statue have been removed from the Television Academy's Hall of Fame. His name no longer appears among the official list of honorees online. All references were removed from the website as well. So he has been booted from TV Academy's Hall of Fame roster.
Starting point is 01:10:06 Joel Santana, in the meantime, has been indicted for that airport gun bust that he had. Now, apparently, they do believe there's probable cause that he tried to smuggle a handgun that he's not even allowed to possess aboard a flight at Newark Airport. I'm sure he didn't do that. I'm sure it was an accident. He forgot it was in his bag. Like, he knows there's no way he could get that gun on there. Right.
Starting point is 01:10:28 Come on now. He has at least two felony convictions. And so, yeah, there you have it. He's right now free after posting a $500,000 bond. But he has electronic monitoring with travel restrictions as well. I wonder when Bill Cosby dies, they'll put the Cosby show back on television. I think they should. I wonder when Bill Cosby dies, they'll put the Cosby show back on television. I think they should. I was really thinking
Starting point is 01:10:47 about this yesterday. Like, Bill Cosby, the Huxtable should not have to pay for the sins of Bill Cosby. It was a positive show for our community. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 01:10:53 I think they should. They ought to change it to the Huxtable show. All right. Instead of Bill Cosby. Get his name off of it. Maybe. All right.
