Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Listen to Escape from Zakistan.
We need help!
That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series,
The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast
Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into
their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.
Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

I figured it out. Voice of Reason,
The Solid, Hold It Down,
The Beige Rage, and The Agitator.
The Breakfast Club. Everyone just kept telling me to prep for this. One word to describe The Breakfast Club would be black. The solid, hold it down, the beige rage, and the agitator.
The Breakfast Club.
Everyone just kept telling me to prep for this.
One word to describe the Breakfast Club would be black.
Impacting the culture.
People watch the Breakfast Club for, like, news and really be tuned in, man.
I don't even know what they call the Breakfast Club.
It's like brunch.
Envy, ye, and Charlemagne. Wake that ass up, get out of bed, and listen to The Breakfast Club.
I'm waking up now.
Good morning, USA! Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, That's what my young boys say. Drop on a clothesline for a little boss. You know what I'm saying? Okay. I just felt like screaming that out this morning.
How y'all feeling this fine Friday?
Angelina, do you feel better?
Yes, I feel much better.
Just so y'all know.
I can't have pineapple ever.
So I guess sometimes I have something and it has pineapple in it and I don't know.
And it gives me like the worst cramps.
Like I can't stand up or do anything for some hours.
Is it the citrus?
It is the acidity of it.
Yeah, it's very acidic.
And so it makes me like
cripple for a little while.
I guess something I had must have had pineapple
in it and I didn't know.
I was about to say, you didn't know? I hate people that say
I'm allergic to fish, but let me just try it now and then they get
sick and be like, you know, sometimes this happens.
Well, don't eat fish! That's a shame that some people are cursed and are allergic to fish.
Y'all know what y'all missing.
I love seafood.
I don't eat fish.
You know, I've never had seafood.
And I'm not allergic.
I just don't like it.
You never had it.
I don't like the smell of it.
Crab legs.
You never had lobster.
You never had shrimp.
Shrimps.
One time at a wedding, I ate some fish by accident.
I almost threw up.
You don't know what you're missing.
Yeah, I'm a seafood head.
I'm from the low country.
8-4-3.
You heard me.
Okay?
I love seafood.
Yeah, growing up in New York, the only seafood we knew was shrimp fried rice.
Boy, boy, shut up.
I'm going to come over there and beat you up.
Listen, that's the only seafood.
You never had fish sticks or tuna fish?
No.
Out of a can with mayonnaise?
You never had a fish sandwich?
No.
A fish sandwich on a white bread?
You never had a filet-o-fish?
No, not until I got to college.
When I got to Hampton out in Virginia, that's when it opened me up to fish.
But before that, the only fish I ever had was shrimp fried rice.
That's not fish.
No.
Well, it's shrimp.
Boy, shut up.
Just shut up this morning if you can't think of nothing better to say.
No, that was the only little bit of seafood that I had.
My dad was allergic to seafood, so we never had seafood in the house.
The only thing I had with a little bit of seafood was shrimp fried rice.
He said the only fish I ever had was shrimp.
And don't say growing up in New York.
That's a New York thing.
That was new growing up in the Casey household.
That's not a New York thing.
That was me growing up in New York.
That's all I had.
Even my whole family.
That was me.
I said me.
Me.
That's me.
Me.
Fish.
Why you gotta drag New York down with you, though? That's all I had. No, no. Don't drag it. Don't do it, was me. I said me. Me. That's me. Me. Fish. Fish. I'm going to drag New York down with you, though.
That's all I had.
No, no.
Don't drag it.
Don't do it, New York.
I love seafood.
Stay grown up in Queens.
Stay grown up in Queens.
Now, when I went to Hampton, and we were in Hampton, Virginia, and it was right by the
water, I had everything.
That's the first time I ever had crawfish.
That's the first time I even learned how to open up a crab leg.
That's the first time I ever had a lobster.
How was your nickname, PJ Shrimp?
Very good point. I was small and short.
I'm hungry, guys.
Me too.
I'm starving now.
Now I want me some fish and grits. PJ Shrimp never had any fish but shrimp.
Well, that is the truth.
Shrimp fried rice.
I want some fish and grits right now.
Some fried fish and grits.
All right, fat boy.
Let's get this show going.
Is a shrimp a fish?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
It's a shellfish. Okay, I just had to double check no, no, no, no. It's a shellfish.
Okay, I just had to double check that.
So it's a fish.
It's a shellfish.
I don't know.
I mean, see, I never thought about it.
I never thought about it.
All right, meaning.
It is a shellfish, but I mean, it's a shrimp.
I don't know.
I just told you the only secret I had as a kid was shrimp.
It's a shrimp.
I like shrimps.
It's shrimp, sir.
No, it's shrimp.
It's shrimp, sir.
S-K-R-I-M-P.
I'm from South Carolina. It's a shrimp.
All right. Well, speaking of shrimp and small people,
I actually got a chance to see Charlemagne's billboard this morning as I was driving by.
I tried to get a picture. It was mad blurry.
I forgot about it. Look at this picture.
We should have the drone. I think the drone took some pictures yesterday.
Oh, yeah, the drone. Look how fast.
I was driving fast. I tried to pull it out. It was like, yoom.
I got a little picture I posted on my IG.
What's the billboard of?
The We've Got Answers project that I released on Audible on Wednesday.
And it's myself, Tamika Mallory, Ebony K. Williams, and Dr. Claude Anderson on the We've
Got Answers billboard.
Sleuth to everybody that's been downloading We've Got Answers on Audible.
It's free if you got an Audible membership.
So check that out.
Yeah, if you look on my page, you can kind of see the picture.
But I was driving and I pulled the phone.
So like Charlamagne is just a little blurry.
It sounds dangerous.
He's a little blurry, but you can see it.
But anyway, let's get the show cracking.
Steve Stout will be joining us this morning.
Okay.
Fresh off a $50 million deal with Apple for United Masters.
Yes.
And also Lil T.J. will be joining us.
His album is out today.
Destined to win.
It's out right now.
Salute to my man, Lil TJ.
My friend Noodle's been telling me about Lil TJ for a long, long, long, long time.
A couple years now.
And Noodle's is fat.
That means nothing.
I just wanted to throw that out there.
What does that have to do with anything?
He's just fat.
I like to remind him.
Because he wasn't always this way.
No, he wasn't always fat.
Don't fat shame people.
I'm not fat shaming him.
I'm just letting him know.
It's just an adjective.
It is what it is.
He's fat.
He used to not be fat.
Known him for a long time. Known him for damn near 20 years.
He went to college with wax.
But too much seafood
in South Carolina. Too much seafood.
Too much shrimp.
Too much fried shrimp. Front page news.
What are we talking about? Well, let's talk about
COVID-19 and they are
saying that the Pfizer vaccine
is highly effective according to this
ongoing trial after six months so
far. We'll give you more information.
Oh my goodness, they change up every other minute.
Alright, we'll get to it next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning everybody, it's DJ, MV,
Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the
Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page
news. Now the
NCAA Women's Final Four will have
two black coaches for the first time.
Let's go, Gamecocks! South Carolina's
Dawn Staley and Arizona's
Adia Barnes. Dropping the clues bombs for the
South Carolina Gamecocks, damn it! So that's
tonight. South Carolina takes on Stanford at six
and Arizona takes on UConn at nine.
30 to men's games are Saturday
night. Truth to everybody in the 803,
Columbia, South Carolina, USC. That's my wife's
alma mater, you know.
But I also lived in Columbia and did radio down there on Hot 1039,
the station that we're currently on, syndicated,
even though I did get fired from there.
But I'm back.
All right.
What else we got?
Easy.
All right.
President Joe Biden is reviewing whether or not he has the legal authority
to cancel student debt.
And he said he's going to decide how to proceed
once he reviews the memo,
which could be sent to his desk in the next few weeks.
He's been backing canceling up to $10,000.
But he said he doesn't think he has the legal authority
to wipe out as much as $50,000 without congressional action.
So we'll find out whether or not he has the power.
So why he didn't say that on the campaign trail?
On the campaign trail, you had guys like Joe Biden,
even Elizabeth Warren, I think Bernie Sanders as well,
if I'm not mistaken, all saying that they were going to erase student loan debt.
That was something that they campaigned on.
Now when you get in the White House, you don't know if you can do it legally?
Shouldn't you have known that when you were saying it on the campaign trail?
They're all car salespersons, man.
All they want to do is sell you a car.
This car flies.
This car can never get a flat tire.
You never need to change the brakes.
Then when you buy the car, oh, I need to change my brakes. This car can never get a flat tire. You never need to change the brakes. Then when you buy the car,
oh, I need to change my brakes. This car
can't fly. It's the same thing.
Lord have mercy. Well, he said he will do
up to $10,000, but he doesn't know if he has the
legal authority to do as much as $50,000.
Now, some people are arguing that he does have that
authority under the Higher Education
Act of 1965,
which gave the Education Secretary
the authority to back student loans.
And he has already exercised that authority, according to proponents of debt cancellation,
by pausing student loan payments during the coronavirus pandemic.
Can he do it by executive order?
That's what he's trying to see, if he could do it without going through Congress.
Okay.
Oh, no.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Maybe I'm mistaking him.
He did say he wanted the immediate cancellation of of 10,000 or more in federal student.
OK. Yes. He's he's backing 10,000, but they want 50,000 up to 50,000.
All right. The Biden administration has announced a five hundred thousand dollar mask innovation challenge.
You know, they still want people to wear masks.
So right now they're asking inventors to contribute their own designs for effective everyday masks.
And what this design challenge will do is pay up to 10 winning ideas.
They'll have to split about $100,000.
And entries for the phase of this challenge will be accepted until April 21st.
Oh, y'all late.
Then in the next phase.
They late.
The hood been doing that.
I got a designer mask on right now.
This is my man Steve Smith cut to it.
He says, mask up, son.
You know how many masks out there
with fly designs on them?
There's people out there
that probably already made $100,000 selling masks.
Well, these prototypes also have to meet certain criteria
on filtration, fit, comfort,
and large scale manufacturing.
So after that first phase,
there'll be a second phase
where as many as five chosen winners will split $400,000.
And they'll be given access to the Biomedical Advanced Research
and Development Authority resources to get those prototypes finished.
So if you're a designer out there and you can meet all these prototypes,
not a bad contest to enter.
And then when it comes to the COVID-19 vaccine for Pfizer,
they are doing ongoing trials.
They're saying the vaccine is still highly effective after six months.
Now, protection likely lasts even longer than that,
but they say having that data showing good protection six months after is good news.
So after you get vaccinated, that's what we know so far.
Obviously, we won't know more until it's been a year, two years, so we'll see.
All right.
Well, that is your front page news.
Get it off your chest.

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
So if you got something on your mind, lay it out.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, what's up, man?
This is Sly from Glass Man in Maryland.
What's up, bro?
Get it off your chest.
Yeah, man.
So I'm just want to call in, man.
I'm a struggling entrepreneur.
I've been an entrepreneur for about 10 years, fresh out of high school.
And, you know, it's hard out here.
You feel me?
Trying to beat the corporate trap.
I got a wholesaling real estate company I just launched a few months ago.
Okay.
And I'm trying to get my first deal.
You know, I've been studying the wholesaling thing for about two years now.
I got a clothing line called Glass Manor Clothing.
I'm trying to put on
for my city
how Nip did.
I met him in 2018
at the Fillmore
Silver Spring.
You know,
we chopped it up
for a quick second
and he kind of
inspired me.
You know,
he kind of
pulled a lot into me
at that,
you know,
that little bit of time
and,
you know,
it's hard out here.
You know what I'm saying? I'm trying to get business funding for my whole set. So do you have it, you know, that little bit of time. And, you know, it's hard out here, you know what I'm saying?
I'm trying to get business funding for my wholesaler.
So do you have a real estate license and everything?
So I was going to do that, but I feel like it kind of...
You don't need it for wholesaling.
Yeah, you don't need it for wholesaling.
I'm just asking if you have it,
because I feel like things like that are beneficial still.
Yeah, definitely, though, and I agree.
And I feel like
I'd be kind of like
missing deals
if I didn't have it.
You know what I mean?
Like some deals
would slip through my fingers
because a lot of people
like doing things
the traditional way
but we're having,
you know,
having that.
And then even,
and in certain situations
to make money
off of real estate,
it is,
you have to have
your real estate license because it's illegal for you to make certain amounts of real estate, it is, you have to have your real estate license
because it's illegal for you
to make certain amounts of money
with referrals and all of that
if you don't have your license.
And a lot of title and companies,
they don't really like wholesalers.
You know, they think we kind of...
Yeah, nobody really likes wholesalers.
I just want to recommend getting it
just because you can do the virtual classes online
and then you have to take the test in person.
And I think it's a worthwhile thing
if this is what you really want to do and it all
comes down to mastering something
and that's why I say
it would be beneficial.
Yeah, I agree. I also
got a question for you though.
I got my wife, right? So I married her
like 2019 and
I just went straight to the courthouse because I'm all
about legacy.
So she had my son. I just went straight to the courthouse, got the know, I'm all about legacy. So she had my son.
I just went straight to the courthouse, you know, got the paperwork, told her, you know, if I can get a copy of her ID and apply for the certificate.
But I never proposed to her, but I want to, like, recreate that and let her experience that.
But I don't really know.
That's dope.
You know, I don't really know how to go about it.
You feel me to make it special.
You know what I'm saying?
So I want to get your perspective on that.
I think it depends on what type of person she is.
Is she the type of person that would want this to happen in front of her
friends and family?
Or was she rather a private moment?
Nah,
she,
she act like she ain't really like that,
but I know,
I know she definitely want to have that memory.
You know what I mean?
Had them pictures.
Yeah.
So get their friends and family together,
plan a little,
you know,
have a dinner,
then have them show up.
Or maybe you guys walk in somewhere and they're all waiting and you do it in front of everybody and have somebody filming it.
Make sure that she looks nice that day, though.
Her hair is done, nails done, like y'all are going somewhere.
Yeah, it's going to have to be like boss type.
Yeah.
To what?
What you think?
Not that boss, man. Boss what? What part? but uh to what what you think like nothing boss man what part um like the real estate like
wholesaling um i mean wholesaling is a tough thing i mean what you're really trying to do
is find people that have stranded and abandoned properties and sell it to investors or you know
which is very difficult you got to get out there on the street you got to send out flies you got
to make phone calls wholesaling is not easy you ain't got to really spend a lot of your money to put down on homes,
but you just got to be able to get those contracts. And it's a lot of work. I mean,
it's not going to be easy. If it was easy, everybody would do it. A lot of people are
successful doing it. Not too many, but Carlos Reyes does his thing with it. A lot of people do.
But I would just tell you this. I would just say, you know, you have to put the work in. You have
to find the deals and you got to remember that there's a bunch of wholesalers out there trying to find the deals
so what makes you better than them so you got to figure that out and and attack no that's a fact
and I'm putting out I'm putting out about a hundred times a month uh I subscribe to pop stream so I'm
on that four hours a day I'm actually calling up from work right now and you know I sit at the
computer all day and do that but I appreciate y'all taking my call for sure.
Good luck.
And if you haven't got any great deals, you can always send them my way.
So you know my answer.
Yeah, definitely.
I'm going to send them your way for sure.
All right, brother.
All right.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, you can hit us up.
Yeah, you got rumors?
Yes.
You know, April Fool's Day was yesterday.
I gave y'all advance warning not to fall for somebody's tricks
And we'll tell you some of the April Fool's Day jokes that went down
Alright, we'll get into that next
Keep it locked, it's The Breakfast Club, good morning
The Breakfast Club
It's about time
What's going on?
Rumor Report
This is The Rumor Report
Talk to them
With Angela Yee
On The Breakfast Club.
Now, on Wednesday, we talked about Michael Strahan closing the gap between his teeth in the Rumor Report.
If you all recall, listen to this.
Well, Michael Strahan got rid of his gap.
And I mean that gap between his front teeth.
But let's not forget tomorrow is April Fool's Day.
So I just want to remind you all that because, you know, there's April Fool's Day things happening.
You're right.
All right.
Well, guess what?
We were right.
It was an April Fool's Day joke.
Here is Michael Strahan.
And he posted this on social media before pulling his face mask down.
I appreciate all the love for the gap.
And, you know, I've had it for almost 50 years now.
I know the shocker to see it gone.
But I just want to tell you guys that, you know,
I appreciate all that love that you show.
And be you.
Live the way you want to live.
Do what makes you happy because I did.
And I am happy that I did it.
So I just wanted to say, April Fools.
That's great.
Because as I was saying the other day,
for someone like Michael Scrahan,
who has taken pride in his gap
and gave people with gaps confidence,
it's good that he didn't close it.
That's his calling card.
Because if he did close it,
it would make me wonder,
was you ever really that secure about it?
So I'm glad he didn't close it.
All right.
Now, DJ Quick, in the meantime,
went ahead and did an April Fool's Day joke.
He posted on his social media. I'm on my way to the hospital.
Someone just shot into my car seven to ten times on the freeway.
I got hit twice. Pray for me.
So a lot of people were praying for him.
But then he posted a few hours later. Oh, yeah. April Fool.
A lot of people didn't find that funny.
Yeah, I see people mad about that. But I mean, isn't that what an April Fool's joke is and it's not like he
hurt anybody else in the process
he put it on himself
he gotta deal with that energy
here's what he said
April Fool's Day now y'all gotta chop that
I got y'all that was a good one
damn I impressed myself with that
happy April Fool's Day
I wouldn't speak that into existence but
in the era that we in,
if you're really trying to get somebody on April Fool's,
it has to be extreme, people.
It has to be.
Yeah, I mean, you can do what you want.
I'm not throwing that at you.
No, I'm not.
But if you're trying to do an April Fool's joke on people,
it has to be extreme.
It has to be something like,
oh, no, he wouldn't lie about that,
or she wouldn't lie about that.
And then it's like, no, April Fool's. Yeah yeah like you can't get pregnant and announce it on april
fools day no one's nobody will believe everyone does that joke all right snoop dog has joined
nbc's the voice as season 20's mega mentor he posted this is not a joke because you know like
i said you couldn't really make any announcements yesterday. But, yes, he is joining The Voice.
So the current cast of coaches includes John Legend, Kelly Clarkson, Nick Jonas, and Blake Shelton.
And his debut is set for April 19th.
Boy, one thing about Snoop Dogg, he ain't going to never run out of no money.
Drop on a Clues bomb for Snoop Dogg.
He always get a check somewhere.
Snoop Dogg is the most employable man in the world.
Absolutely.
He's the most employable person in the world.
Who gets more opportunities and jobs than
Snoop Doggy Dogg? Nobody. And he stays
himself the whole
time. Snoop has not
switched up once. He hasn't
compromised himself at all. Drop one of
the clues, Bob's Uncle Snoop.
Alright, and Jeezy and
Jeannie Mai got married in a private
ceremony at their house in Atlanta.
And this is not a joke either.
They actually had an extensive profile in Vogue magazine.
It was a small ceremony and friends and family did attend.
Originally, they were planning to get married in the south of France or at Lake Cuomo.
But because of the pandemic, they just did it at the house.
It looked really beautiful, though.
Yeah, congrats to Jeezy and Jeannie Mai.
I can't wait till they have kids.
I hope they have a little girl and name her Jeannie.
Then they can call her young Jeannie growing up.
Amazing.
All right.
Well, Jeannie Mai told Vogue magazine,
we were really looking forward to having all of our friends and family there to celebrate,
but we had to change all of our wedding plans due to COVID.
After Jeezy's mother unexpectedly passed,
we quickly learned that life is too short.
And at the end of the day,
Jeezy and I really just wanted to become husband and wife.
So we decided to turn our original wedding into a mini-money where we exchanged our vows
in front of our immediate family and a few close friends.
I love it.
Yep.
Marriage is a beautiful thing.
All right.
Well, congratulations to the happy couple.
And that is your rumor report.
All right.
Thank you, Missy.
Now we got front page news next.
Yes.
And let's talk about Derek Chauvin and the trial for George Floyd's death. We'll give you some insight as to what
happened yesterday. Not looking good for Derek Chauvin. We'll get into that next. It's The
Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.
Mountain Dew is partnering with HBCUs in an effort to uplift the next generation of badass

Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.
Now, the NCAA Women's Final Four
will have two black coaches for the first time.
South Carolina's Dawn
Staley and Arizona's
Adia Barnes.
South Carolina takes on Stanford at 6. Arizona
takes on UConn at 9.30.
Come on, South Carolina Gamecocks. Drop on the
clues bonds for the Gamecocks.
803. That's my wife's alma mater right there.
University of South Carolina.
Now what else we got, Yeezy?
All right, Derek Chauvin, as you know,
was on trial for George Floyd's death.
And let's talk about what happened yesterday.
Paramedic Derek Smith took to the stand
and he talked about arriving on the scene
and seeing George Floyd on the ground
and three officers on top of him.
And what happened after that?
He talked about George Floyd's overall condition.
Here's what he said. Why didn't you just have the officer help you continue so you could go
straight to the hospital? That's not what we do. Is it because he's not an EMT? Any layperson can
do chest compressions. There's no reason Minneapolis couldn't have started chest compressions. That's
not my question. My question is, he's not an EMT, correct? I don't know the level of certification of the individual that got into the back of my rig.
All right. You wanted a partner who could help you out, correct?
I wanted as many people that were willing to help me at that time to work this cardiac arrest.
All right, and that was the defense questioning him about that.
Also, retired Sergeant David Ploger took the stand.
He's from the Minneapolis Minneapolis Police Department.
And he talked about a phone call that he had with Derek Chauvin on that day after Chauvin nailed on George Floyd's neck.
And here's what he had to say about that conversation.
I believe he told me that they had put Mr. Floyd.
I didn't know his name at the time, but Mr. Floyd in the car.
He'd become combative.
I think he mentioned that he'd injured. It was either his nose or his mouth, a bloody lip, I think.
And eventually, after struggling with him, he'd suffered a medical emergency and an ambulance was called.
Did he tell you whether he personally applied any particular type of force or restraint to Mr. Floyd?
I don't believe so.
Yeah, I mean, you know, I keep trying to watch the trial,
but it's very hard because it's amazing how much George Floyd's,
you know, character is on trial.
You know, I don't care if he did drugs, if he had an alcohol problem,
none of that matters.
You know what I mean?
He got murdered by Derek Chauvin, and they keep trying to, you know,
bring up George Floyd's past.
Why they don't talk about Derek Chauvin's past
history? He's got a violent
past. 17 complaints against him
in damn near two decades.
And he's used fatal force before.
Meaning he's killed someone in the line of duty
before. Why is none of that coming up?
Or will it? I don't know.
Here's some more from the retired Sergeant David Plogger
where he talks about this is
and was excessive use
of force. And is the placement of a knee on a subject's neck a use of force? Yes. Do you have
an opinion as to when the restraint of Mr. Floyd should have ended in this encounter? Yes. What is
it? When Mr. Floyd was no longer offering up any resistance to the officers that could have entered the restraint.
And that was after he was handcuffed and on the ground and no longer resistant. Correct.
Oh, God. Listen, man, Derek Chauvin is going to prison. I hope so. He does.
He is. You could tell that Sergeant was like, man, I want to have to do this, but I got to tell the truth.
And I once again, I wish they would bring up Derek Chauvin's, you know, use of force history.
He's had 17 complaints against him.
Well, maybe they will.
We're only a couple of days in.
Well, no.
The USA Today had an article out yesterday and the headline was saying how they weren't going to bring up like six of those incidents.
So I don't know.
Are they going to bring up the rest?
I wonder if they can.
If they can.
I don't know.
Because this is a different case.
You know, I don't know.
They say the jury won't hear about six of those incidents.
Well, if you talk about people's pasts, you know, you got to bring that up too.
It's just a pattern of behavior.
And Courtney Ross also took the stand.
That was George Floyd's girlfriend at the time.
She had been in a relationship with him since August of 2017.
They were together still.
And she also talked about their relationship.
She said he was a mama's boy and he was devastated and broken when his mother died.
And he also had been tested positive for COVID-19
in late March and he had been quarantining.
And she also said they both struggled
with opioid addiction.
So the reason why she probably brought that up
is because it's more favorable for her to bring that up
rather than have the other side reveal it.
So they said prosecutors asked about that first to get ahead of some of the defense team's arguments
because they were trying to say this whole thing was because of medical issues and drug use.
But she brought it up first.
Yeah, and people should go read the article in the USA Today yesterday because, you know,
they talk about how 18 complaints have been filed against Derek Chauvin, but only one will be introduced at trial. And, you know,
they fought to try to get
eight incidents involving
Derek Chauvin, you know, brought up at the
trial, but the judge only allowed
two of them. Why? I do not know.
But if I know if you got 17
complaints against you and you've used fatal
force before, that
should be in court because it shows
you have a history of this why it's not
I don't know well I do know what am I talking about
this is a white man
all right well that is your front
page news all right thank you Miss
Yee now uh let's open
up the phone lines 800-585-1051
now yesterday this clip
was circulating online can we play a clip
so cheating respectfully to me is
cheating where I don't find out.
It's having control over your other women.
It's using condoms and not having babies.
Like, cheat respectfully
because believe it or not, your man is cheating.
But I'm not leaving my man over a
one night stand. I will only leave my man
for three things. You bring me home an STD,
you have a baby on me, or if you gay.
Everything else is workoutable for me.
First of all, first of all, don't be just throwing stuff like that on me, DJ Envy. You could have a much on me or if you gay. Everything else is work outable for me. First of all,
first of all,
don't be just throwing
stuff like that on me, DJ Envy.
Okay?
You could have
a much better segue
before we just jumped
into that one.
That's a clip
that was going
all over internet yesterday.
Oh, let's do it.
Let's do it.
Do it the right way?
Yes.
I don't know if this...
Based on this topic,
let's go.
Start.
It's Friday,
so you know what that means.
It's stupid, stupid,
stupid Friday.
Why are we talking about this?
This is a clip that's been going on crazy online.
I think it's stupid.
So let's open up the phone lines.
800-585-1051.
Is there a way to respectfully cheat?
No.
I'll answer that right now.
No.
Hell no.
No way.
I just think that you can't predict.
You can say, oh, as long as I don't find out about it.
But you can't predict if someone's going to find out if you cheated on them.
Usually what's done in the dark comes to the light.
Absolutely.
And that's the thing, right?
I've always said that, well, back in the day I used to say,
it's not the cheating that gets you in trouble.
It's the getting caught.
But as a man, it's very hard to live with the guilt of knowing
that you're cheating on your woman.
Like your woman is supposed to be your best friend, especially if you're married.
You come home and you lay next to her every night.
You know, you got kids, and you're supposed
to be some real individual, but you
lie into this person all the time.
I can't live that way. That's no way
for me to live, okay? That's why I haven't
cheated since October 2016.
So let's open up the phone lines.
800-585-1051.
Is there a respectful way to cheat, I should say?
And all men that call up remain anonymous.
You know what I'm saying?
To me, there is no way.
Once you cheat, you're foul.
You're a dirt diggler.
It's horrible.
I've been that.
Charlamagne has been that.
Let's not be too hard on ourselves.
You know, some cheating is, but I understand that some cheating can
be really crazy. Like when you bring
somebody into the house, into the bed
that you sleep in with your significant other,
that's disgusting. That's
something that you're like, I could never forgive that.
Oh, no, I know. Derek Jackson did that.
I ain't never did that. No, not at all.
No, people have done that. All cheating is
disrespectful and disgusting.
It is, but give yourself some grace.
Be kind to yourself.
We're going to be kind to each other this morning.
We've evolved.
We've changed.
We are different humans.
And we're speaking better and we're trying to, you know.
That's right.
And I would think you guys would say certain things are forgivable because y'all have gotten forgiveness, right?
I mean, there was a time.
I mean, yeah, I've had it both ways.
I've been with my wife for 23 years.
Yes, she's cheating on me.
And I'm cheating on her.
That's happened.
But, you know, for me, it was all about feeding ego.
Definitely feeding.
I don't feed my ego anymore.
I don't want to talk about this anymore.
I do feel like some things are just unforgivable.
Like certain things that somebody can do is certainly unforgivable.
Like I can't forget that.
Two of those things that woman named, I totally understand.
STD, pregnancy.
You know what I'm saying? If you tell a woman...
I gotta look at this kid that looks like you.
But you shouldn't even ask... How do you even
ask a person to stay with you when you get another
woman pregnant? How do you even ask a woman to stay with you
when you give a woman an STD? Well, let's thank God we didn't
have to deal with any of those. Guess what? There's plenty of people in these situations
right now that are still with that person
that had a child on them.
Right.
And that's their decision.
This is a judge-free zone here.
And if you, she said, I think she said Gay was the other one, right?
Correct.
So in that case, it's like, yo, you have to give the woman that you're with a choice.
You should let her know.
Like, yo.
Correct.
I'm into men too.
And then she has a choice on whether or not she wants to stay or whether or not she wants to go.
She may not want to deal with that.
Correct.
Well, let's open up the phone lines.
800-585-1051.
Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
It's topic time.
Pick up the phone, baby.
Call
800-585-1051 to join
into the discussion with The Breakfast Club.
Talk about it.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just join us, we would talk.
Well, let's start it the right way.
It's Friday, so you know what that means.
It's Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday. Freaky, Freaky Friday.
Our stupid, stupid, stupid Friday based on this topic.
There you go.
So we're asking if you just join us.
Well, let's play the clip.
So cheating respectfully to me is cheating where I don't find out.
Is having control over your other women.
Is using condoms and not having babies.
Like, cheat respectfully because believe it or not, your man is cheating.
But I'm not leaving my man over a one-night stand.
I will only leave my man for three things.
You bring me home an STD, you have a baby on me, or if you gay.
Everything else is workable for me.
So we're asking 800-585-1051, is there a respectful way to cheat?
I say no way.
Not a chance.
If you cheat, it's definitely disrespectful regardless.
I've been down that road.
Charlamagne has been down that road.
Don't drag yourself.
You've been down that road too. I'll been down that road You've been down that road too
I'll speak for myself you speak for yourself
You bastard
I've been down that road
He's like growing up in New York
No
I'm not laughing it's not funny
Don't make it a joke
Cause that was
What I did was disrespectful to my wife
It ain't funny I don't't even want to laugh about it.
But no, there is no respectful way to cheat.
All cheating is disrespectful.
Don't laugh.
I hear you laughing.
Yeah, it's not funny.
Yeah.
What do you get so mad for?
Because it's not funny.
No, I feel envy.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't think there's a respectful way to cheat.
You know, when you go home to your significant,
I can only speak for myself.
You know, as a man, when I'm going home to my wife,
a woman that I love, a woman that I say is my best friend,
and I'm a person who thrives on authenticity and being honest.
You're not authentic.
You're not honest.
You're not real if you're lying to the person that you call your best friend,
the person that you took vows with.
So just for me, my guilty conscience wouldn't allow me to continue to do that.
And that's when you're just feeding your ego.
I always say that.
When you're sleeping around with a bunch of different women,
you're not doing it because you're unhappy at home.
You're doing it because you're unhappy with yourself.
And you're feeding your ego.
You got a bunch of insecurities.
There are levels.
Like imagine your man was paying for somebody else's rent in their apartment
or bought somebody else a house or had this person in your home in your marital bed.
Can't they do nothing to nobody, man?
Yeah, I'm not buying no house.
You might pay some rent.
I'm just saying things like that happen.
And I do feel like that level is like, whoo, because women have forgiven men for cheating.
But when they take it to the next level where they're doing all kinds of relationship type things, spending holidays away from their family, sneaking out.
But a lot of times men just spend the money because it's hush money.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm paying you.
But they spend the time too.
They not just spending the money.
Like they spending time.
Imagine they got a key to somebody else's house.
You getting mail there.
Then I got to drive by, go to the mailbox and see your address is on the mail.
Yo, if you're not going to say Calvin Hunter's name,
you're not going to say his name.
Say his name, damn it.
Stop bringing up his incidents.
Well, let's go to the phone line.
Hello, who's this?
This is crazy.
This is Sandra, the Haitian therapist.
And there's zombie?
Hell no, there is no respectful way to cheat.
Calm down, Sandra.
We didn't make this up.
What happened?
We just hit a little too close to home for you? Nora we're agreeing with you you ain't gonna yell at
us like that and you know what's funny isn't it way easier for women to cheat they act like men
can't help themselves right right a lot of women cheat too yeah yeah absolutely i think men don't
anticipate when men are more likely to dismiss it.
Like, nah, she wouldn't do that.
And women are more likely to investigate, I feel like.
Yeah, and it's more acceptable for men to cheat like Megan.
Some self was saying.
Who's Megan?
Who's Megan?
Oh, the lady.
Megan is the one that said it on the clip.
Okay.
Thank you, Sandra.
Yeah, Megan.
But, Sandra, do you think there's levels of disrespect, though,
even though it's all disrespectful?
No, I don't think that at all.
Oh, you hung up on her.
And it's cheating.
Even that whole statement is what you call, what is that,
an oxymoron, right?
It's a respectful way to cheat.
There's no respectful way. There's no respectful way to cheat.
There might be a respectful way for, you know,
y'all to have an open relationship, you know what I'm saying?
Something like that, but not to cheat.
But then that's not cheating.
That's not cheating because y'all are honest.
Who's this?
Where'd you come from?
What's your name, bro?
My name is Laman.
Where'd you come from?
We're the X-Ting women.
If you ask me, I don't remember.

I feel you.
That is terrible.
I agree with all you're saying.
How about don't cheat at all?
I thought all those things too.
None of that works.
Not if you're being honest with yourself.
If you're lying to yourself, all of that stuff works.
But if you're being honest with yourself, none of that stuff works.
Because your guilty conscience is going to eat you up.
800-585-1051 is there a respectful way to cheat
uh let's talk about this the breakfast club good morning
call me and your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic. Come on. 800-585-1051.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
It's Friday, so you know what that means.
It's Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday.
Our stupid, stupid, stupid Friday.
Based on this topic.
That's right.
And it came from a clip that was circulating online yesterday.
Let's play the clip.
So, cheating respectfully to me is cheating where I don't find out.
It is having control over your other women.
It's using condoms and not having babies.
Like, cheat respectfully because believe it or not, your man is cheating.
But I'm not leaving my man over a one-night stand.
I will only leave my man for three things.
You bring me home an STD, you have a baby on me, or if you gay.
Everything else is workable for me.
Yeah, so we're asking, is there a respectful way to cheat?
Let's go to the phone lines.
Hello, who's this?
This is B-White.
What's up, bro?
We're asking, is there a respectful way to cheat?
It's a respectful way for everything.
Of course it is.
Why wouldn't it be?
Okay, what's the respectful way?
Yes.
Please inform us.
None of her friends.
None of her friends.
No family members. Please inform us. None of her friends. None of her friends. No family members.
Use some protection.
And what, you know, it's a respectful way to do everything.
I disagree.
Okay, so you're okay if your woman teets on you.
So if a woman does that respectfully, you can be okay with it.
It's also a double standard for everything, too.
Oh, Lord.
It's a double standard.
Look, if a woman has a baby, it's mommy, baby, daddy, baby.
It's a respectful way to do it.
No, I don't think so.
I think there is no respectful way to cheat.
The act of cheating in itself is disrespectful.
You're disrespecting your wife.
You're disrespecting my cousin.
You're disrespecting my cousin.
What's her name?
Tasha.
In South Carolina.
Tasha?
Natasha.
Why are you still trying to...
Okay, okay, whatever.
Okay, put it like that.
My bad.
That's my bad for saying that.
But it is a respectful way
to put it.
Get the bitch on that, man.
Now, wait a minute.
First of all, first of all,
put a time stamp on this.
How long ago was this
when I allegedly was messing
with this woman?
2018.
11 years ago.
11 years ago.
He said he's free for eight.
Might be.
Hey, man, I'm not going to deny
or confirm.
I don't remember.
I'm a wild boy.
Ha ha! Ha. Ha, ha!
Ha, ha!
That laugh.
Ha, ha!
Yo, what up?
Ha, ha!
What up, man?
Ha, ha!
Hey, B, what up?
No, what up me?
I don't know Natasha.
Oh, no, no, damn Natasha.
I don't know no B.
Hey, bro, thank you for calling.
Ha, ha!
Hey, he's just being code through laughs, boy.
You're a wild boy.
You're a wild boy.
Oh, boy.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is Brie.
Hey, Brie.
Good morning.
Morning.
Why you sound so upset?
Are there respectful ways to cheat?
Why is that laugh?
She did the laugh.
She did the laugh.
Yeah, no, I mean, like, y'all were talking about, you know, if someone's gay, you have to think about still being with them.
But I've been with several dudes who are like, it's okay to be cheap as long as it's with another girl.
So that's your mentality.
That's how you feel.
I mean, I think that if you have a relationship with someone and you set up boundaries, then you should be able to sleep with whoever you want personally.
But I'm just saying other dudes are normally very chill
if you want to hook up with another girl.
True, but that's not cheating, though.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, if you and your man have an understanding,
and you know what I'm saying,
he knows that you're going to hook up with girls, you know,
every now and again.
That's not cheating.
Because you're not lying to each other.
Yeah, cheating is like the betrayal of the trust.
Yeah, the lying, the sneaking around, you know what I mean?
Like, y'all not cheating.
Y'all got an understanding.
Do you ever let them watch?
Oh.
Hey, Tom, that was the woman coach.
You ever let them watch?
You know, that's between me and him.
True indeed. There you go. May God bless you that's between me and him. True indeed.
There you go.
May God bless you on this fine Easter Sunday weekend.
My goodness.
That's a yes.
Good morning.
Bye.
All right.
Thank you.
So what's the moral of the story?
The moral of the story is, personally, this is just Leonard McKelvey, Charlemagne N'Gaul speaking.
There is no respectful way to cheat.
The act of cheating itself is disrespectful.
You're disrespecting your wife.
I concur.
You're disrespecting your family.
You're disrespecting yourself.
I used to cheat to feed my
ego. Now I feed my soul. I
don't cheat. Black men don't cheat. Amen.
Yee, you have anything to say?
I mean, listen, you can't respectfully
cheat thinking that respectfully cheating
is that you don't get caught because you cannot predict
that you will get caught at some point.
So, chillax. And that's
from the podcast Watch All Black.
Watch All BLK is their Instagram, all right?
Shout out to those ladies.
Now, Yee, we got rumors on the way?
Yes, and let's talk about JT, Lil Uzi, and Young Miami,
and Southside.
It's turned into a mess here.
All right, we'll get into that next.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ, MV, Angela Yeee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast
club let's get to the rumors let's talk south side
she's spilling the tea this is the rumor report with angela yee on the breakfast club
well it looks like south side's been having a rough couple of days on social media with a lot going on for him.
Now, his father actually posted and had some negative things to say about him on social media.
He said tattoos on your face and carrying guns don't make you a gangster.
Real gangsters don't choose to be gangsters.
We don't have a choice.
It comes from growing up poor.
You are a rich bitch that betrays everybody that helped you become rich and famous.
You lie into the world like you did it all by yourself.
I'm telling the truth about you.
You can keep trying to pay people to kill me.
God is going to deal with you.
I got something for your uncle.
You are so obsessed with effing up my life, but God is going to deal with you.
Vaginas.
I want the world to know I have nothing to do with you.
You ain't nothing but a little vagina boy.
That's Southside's daddy?
Yeah.
Yes. Why is that on's daddy? Yeah. Yes.
Why is that on social media?
Why don't you pick up the phone and call your son?
How old is Southside's daddy?
I don't know his age,
but Southside did respond to his father,
and here's what he said.
You ready to say f*** me and never f*** with me
and never speak to none of my kids
and none of that s*** again
for you to be a rapper, like you said.
That's how your mind think. You thought like that your whole life you never really put me first
i remember i never forget a father that i called tried to contact every father then he was like
we friends i ain't your daddy i ain't really never been there for you like that like honestly i grew
up calling the whole of the man that i grew up calling the trade dad that's like what a
coincidence you want to be in my life now but But shout out my dad. Let's stream his music, everybody, please.
Wow.
If that's your relationship with your son,
then you as a father have traumatized your son.
So anything you don't like about your son is probably your fault.
Yeah, but even so, if that's your son,
I mean, there's certain conversations that shouldn't be had on Instagram
or Instagram Live or on social media.
Yeah, clearly they don't have that kind of relationship, though. You call your
son and, you know, you don't want
to hurt your son. You don't have your son looking bad.
You have that conversation with your son. He seems like
he been hurt his son. Correct.
That sounds traumatized.
Southside's father also said,
truth is, you haven't spoken to your granddad who taught
you boxing in 10 years. You slapped and
spit on your sister because you were mad at me.
Your mother's brother owes your granddaddy eight months of rent and is using COVID to not be evicted. You slapped and spit on your sister because you were mad at me. Your mother's brother owes your granddaddy
eight months of rent
and is using COVID to not be evicted.
You dead ass wrong.
Hashtag ungrateful.
And he also said he taught him production.
I tell you what though, man.
You know what I'm saying?
When you pray to God
to take negativity out your life,
you know, he not just swinging at,
you know, things.
He's swinging at people and energy.
That is the source of that negativity.
It can be your family sometime.
Mother, father, brother, sister.
Don't ever think just because somebody's your blood,
you can't cut them off.
They're not good for you.
They're not good for you.
Now, Southside also said,
it's sad this money brought the hate out of my dad.
And, you know, that's it.
And then his uncle, Southside's uncle, said, where was he at the whole time?
And then he said, yeah, it's just a lot of family issues.
And then on top of all this, Southside was also having some issues with how Lil Uzi was talking to his girl, Young Miami.
Now, Young Miami was on live with Lil Uzi. Lil Uzi was with
JT, and here's what happened.
So listen, is this
Carisha? Uzi, me or you?
I don't care, Carisha.
That's understood.
Carisha, Carisha.
Carisha, it ain't even about
that, though. I ain't never got to see you, just like
you ain't never got to see me. JT told me,
she like, Uzi, you ain't going to do nothing but make it worse,
so don't say nothing.
But you know clearly I run this s***.
Carisha, shut up.
JT, JT, JT, JT.
If I told you tongue kiss me on this live right now, you wouldn't do it.
Okay, but you said we were going to say it on the night.
So just chill.
You saw what I said to you, Carisha, because you left me on scene.
Yeah, because it's like, it's understood.
You and I are friends and we don't have to be friends at scene.
But it's not about that, Carisha.
Okay, so Uzi, you can just hang up a weird type off the line because it's a lot.
Ooh, looks like some awkwardness.
Now, JT went on social media and said, all y'all want is a show.
Nobody ain't going to do ish to nobody.
He was joking.
F who don't believe it.
Y'all chop lies up.
Do the most for posts.
I'm glad y'all got entertainment trying to paint me as a bad friend.
So bad off alive.
We just left Zuma Uzi
hype as ish off 1942.
But like I said, F whoever
don't believe he was
joking. So she said trying to make like
she was crying. Y'all so effing sick.
It's sad. And Young Miami
went on social media said I'm not sad or crying.
Y'all got me effed up.
Sheesh. All right. Well,
Southside did not like how little Uzi was talking to his girl, Young Miami, and he went on social me effed up. Sheesh. All right, well, Southside did not like
how Lil Uzi was talking to his girl, Young Miami,
and he went on social media and said this.
I promise you I'm gonna punch your teeth out your mouth.
Don't say nothing else,
nothing else to my bitch.
If you don't like my bitch, don't like my bitch,
let them do them.
I don't get in their shit,
we don't get in their problems, bitch.
Stay a little weird all you is,
keep rocking purses,
keep doing that bitch shit you doing.
I'm the same bitch that saved you
from getting robbed from offsetting them, bitch. that i'm the same that kept you from getting your
jury took when murph's picking up your jury let's not play stupid my go on with that bro deal with
your bitch with your and stay with your bitch that's all i'm gonna say one time i will slap
dogs about you i know offset offset was like whoa whoa. I ain't got nothing to do with nothing. Just a bunch of low energy mess.
I don't understand how y'all consume this type of stuff every single day.
It's like every single day it's this low energy mess.
That's all it is.
Well, Lil Uzi said on social media, that's my girlfriend's best friend.
I was playing with her.
She always cursed me out.
He responded to a fan saying, don't talk to carisha like that
oh man that was draining so i can imagine how draining that was for them when all of that was
happening all right now little nas x is not too happy about nike shutting down the sales of his
little nas x satan shoes and the company mischief that nike is suing claim that it has no,
because Nike said they have no connection
with the Satan shoe
and did not authorize the production of it,
is responding, I guess,
they plan to see Nike in court,
is what they're saying.
The creative agency that Nike is battling with
says they're surprised by the legal action
that Nike has taken against the Satan shoe
because they also claim that Nike had no problem
when they produced the
Jesus shoe last year. They said, who is Nike to censor one but not the other? So they said they
have reached out to Nike to resolve the matter but have received no response. So they said,
we look forward to working with Nike in court. Did Nike see the Jesus shoe? Because one thing
I realized about Nike is that when you get on their radar, they send out cease and desist all
the time. What it don't matter is their shoe. That's their company.
They put out their sneaker a certain way
and they don't want it rebranded and resold.
They can stop anything if you resell their sneaker.
I just said that. I'm saying the same thing.
Like they're getting upset. You can't be mad at me.
It kind of shows
me that Lil Nas X doesn't really
understand business like that.
I saw the tweet that he sent out. What was the tweet he sent you?
He said, I haven't been upset until today today i felt like it's effed up they have
so much power they can get shoes canceled freedom of expression gone out the window but that's going
to change soon and then he said people make customs all the time it's never been a problem
nike only stopped the sale of the shoe because a powerful group of people push them to do so that's
not true people make and i'm not i'm not defending nike at all but it's like people do these custom shoes and nike sends out cease and desist all the time if you
listen to my podcast this week the rearing it is my co-host andrew schultz talked about how he did
a shirt that said just do it yourself with the nike swoosh and they sent him a cease and desist
that's what nike does i i got one too but you too? Yeah. What'd you get one for? Okay, the two comes out.
What'd you get one for?
Ebi used to wear them fake ones.
A long time ago when I owned a sneaker store.
So when you order sneakers, when you buy sneakers from a sneaker store, if you own a store,
I'll tell you fastly, you have to buy the good sneakers and they also throw you the trash sneakers that you have to buy.
Right.
You just can't get them.
You gotta get like a package.
Right.
So I had a trash of all these old sneakers, I mean all these sneakers that I would either
give away or what I came up with this concept is I would tell everybody, if you come to the club when I was DJing, when I was promoting, come to the club.
I give you a free pair of sneakers because they were, you know, sneakers.
But the way I posted the sneakers, it was a strip club.
So I posted the sneakers on the strippers butts and said, hey, first hundred dudes get free sneakers.
Nike definitely sent me a cease and desist.
Yeah, listen, Nike sends out cease and desist all the time.
Definitely. Nike don't play that. This isn't about Nike trying to cancel free cease and desist. Yeah, listen, Nike sends out cease and desist all the time.
Nike don't play that.
This isn't about Nike trying to cancel free speech or free expression.
This is about them protecting their brand.
I thought it was a dope promo.
It's a good idea.
Come to the club, you get a free pair of sneakers.
If you get on their radar, they send you a cease and desist. And put the sneakers on the women's butts.
And let's be clear, Jesus don't make as much noise as Satan.
That's just the truth.
Jesus don't even headline his own birthday.
When is birthday?
Christmas, right?
Seriously, Jesus is Santa Claus.
It's the Grinch.
Jesus is a Capricorn.
It's about four or five to Frosty the Snowman,
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
All of them get top billing over Jesus on his own birthday.
Yeah.
They probably didn't even see the Jesus sneaker last year.
Probably not.
Well, get ready for Drake and Nike's Nocta capsule that's
dropping next month, by the way. So if you're ready
for this, I don't know if y'all got any of
the gear from last time. A lot of people
were really feeling it, so get ready for that.
That one's official.
All right, and that is your rumor report.
All right. Thank you, Miss Yee.
Charlamagne, who you giving that down with?
Jason Edward Rickles needs to come to the front of the congregation.
We like to have a word with him. All right.
We'll get into that next.

We're going to be a donkey 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 me with the heel.
Did she get donkey in the name, please, Deli?
Absolutely.
I have become Donkey of the Day.
It's a breakfast club, bitches.
You're a donkey.
Come up to me. Hold your phone charger.
You got a phone charger?
No, I don't.
Oh.
Taylor, bring me a phone charger if you got one, please.
Donkey of the day for Friday, April 2nd goes to Jason Edward Rickles.
Now, Jason Edward Rickles is a fire chief in Alabama.
Salute to everyone who listens to the Breakfast Club in Alabama.
We on like 10 stations in Alabama.
Drop on the clues box for Alabama.
Thank you, Dan.
Dan, let me hold his phone charger.
So salute to that great state.
But it's no secret Alabama is racist as hell.
And Jason Edward Rickles proves that after he pulled a gun on a black real estate agent and black contractors who are at his home for a real estate showing.
I can't make this kind of stuff up.
Let's go to WGCL CBS 46 for the report, please.
You woke up to my car and pulled a f***ing gun on me.
I was fair in my life, sir. It's my house.
Only on CBS 46, a realtor's home viewing turns into horror.
A major mix-up ending with the homeowner in handcuffs.
That homeowner also happens to be a fire chief in Alabama.
And tonight he is charged with pulling a gun on the realtor and her photographer and breaking their equipment.
A very uncomfortable situation for the realtor and her photographer
who says that she identified herself multiple times,
had a legitimate reason to be at the homeowner's house,
but says, according to them, that the homeowner only saw the color of their skin.
Jason Rickles is the fire chief of Tarrant, Alabama,
and is selling his home in Roswell.
Police say they had an approved viewing of the house
and were set to take some photos before Regina's client arrived.
Regina says fire chief Rickles turned up as they got in their cars.
Police say he blocked them from leaving,
got out of his car and pulled out a gun.
Rickles told police he believed the group were scam artists.
He says he thought Dwayne's camera was a gun, so he snatched it and smashed it.
The fire chief was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, among other charges.
Now, Regina tells me afterwards a city official called her and said this isn't the first time Rickles has been accused of racist allegations.
Apologies, black people. I hate to traumatize us on this on this fine Friday, but this is the
reality of America. OK, salute the 33 year old real estate agent Regina Lee. Drop on the clues
bombs, Regina Lee. Regina, I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm sorry you had to deal with
that trauma. But this is what being black in America is. OK, I understand not just because I've lived it, but I understand it more now because I feel it towards white men.
I profiled one yesterday. I was in the barbershop and this tall white dude with a lot of hair popped up in the barbershop after use the restroom.
I had eyes on him immediately. Of course, they obliged him in the barbershop because black people, we are very welcoming people.
OK, we really do, for the most part, treat folks the way we want to be treated.
But I immediately started profiling this guy.
I did. I asked my barber, Ty, you know, salute to Ty.
I asked him, do you know, dude?
And I said, you got to watch them white boys because I'm like this white guy can walk up in here and shoot all of us.
I did. I was sitting right there in the chair saying that to him.
But Ty knew him.
And, you know, when the white guy was leaving, he gave every single barber a fist bump, which is something I do.
When I walk into places.
And when I leave places, I give everybody a pound as a sign of respect, you know, acknowledging fellow humans, you know, that you share in space with.
So I was thinking about that last night and I felt bad. I felt bad that I felt like that.
But in my mind, I had a valid reason. He fit the description, you know, of white men who have committed mass shootings.
But that doesn't mean I have to profile profile all white men.
I don't have to dehumanize all white men because that's what they do to us.
But they do it for no reason. OK, they've been doing it since we got here to justify them treating us inhumanely.
OK, to justify them keeping us at the bottom of this caste system in America.
And because of white people looking at us as less than things like this situation with Jason Edward Rickles waving his gun at Regina Lee, a real estate agent there to
help him sell his little funky ass house. Now, Jason Rickles was arrested and charged with
aggravated assault, possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony and second
degree criminal damage to property. He spent the night in jail and is out on bail.
Now, I'm glad he got hit with all those charges.
But when you're a black person in America, you can't help to not only be happy for those charges, but to also be happy.
And thank God that Regina Lee is alive.
OK, Regina Lee and those black contractors are alive.
Alabama is a stand your ground state.
Oh, you know that damn stand your ground law.
OK. All right. Rest in peace, Trayvon Martin. The hell with George Zimmerman.
All right. Jason felt threatened and he could have said he thought the contractor's camera was a gun.
OK. Regina Lee and those black contractors could easily be dead because of the white man being afraid of his own karma.
Oh, don't think for one second that white men don't have a fear of black people treating them the way they historically have treated us. OK, they fear the day we seek revenge.
So when he walked in his house and saw all those black people, he immediately started thinking,
oh, my day has come. Jason Rickles thought Regina Lee and a group of black contractors
were burglars. And what if one of those black contractors, Regina, had a pistol and shot Jason?
Do you think Alabama's standing ground law would apply to them?
I think not.
Okay, that's also the thing about being black.
We know there are rules, but they don't apply to us.
Why would they?
This is the normal everyday things white people can do that black people can't.
Just exist.
You know what I mean?
Having a job, doing my job, almost got Regina Lee and those black contractors killed.
Do you understand white privilege yet?
Give Jason Rickles. Matter of fact,
let Kathy Griffin give Jason Rickles the biggest
hee-haw. Please give this giant jar of mayo
the biggest hee-haw.
Let Chelsea Handler give some of that action too.
Hee-haw, hee-haw.
That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise.
Anybody else?
Chris?
Crack-a-ass, crack-a-ass.
Oh, I didn't know Chris was here.
Anybody else?
Too much goddamn mayonnaise.
All right.
All right.
Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir.
Now, when we come back,
Lil T.J. will be joining us.

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. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am
King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme
Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade
my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets. Bullets.
We need help! We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

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.

You look like you're getting some money, man.
Skin glowing, all the jewelry on.
A little something.
I didn't mean to wear this other watch right now.
You don't mean to wear another watch.
Got caught up with it just now.
You fell asleep like that or something?
Nah.
For people that don't know who Lil Tjay is,
let's break it down who Lil Tjay is, where you from,
how you got into the industry, and all that other good stuff.
I'm from the South Bronx, and I got into music
and into where I'm at, really just all for self-hustling.
I just started making music to where I got acknowledged,
and from there, I've just been working up.
Who influenced you coming up from the South Bronx?
Damn, Drake always been my favorite rapper.
But a lot of people, for me, I grew up listening to a lot of,
it's crazy, I grew up listening to a lot of Chicago music.
It was a point when I first started rapping,
I ain't know who nobody was,
like nobody that was anywhere knew type.
See, you know, none of the New York artists,
you just knew Chicago dribbling.
He's so mad right now. I'm just asking the question. Nah, nah, know none of the New York artists, you just knew Chicago Dribble? He's so mad right now.
I'm just asking the question.
He wanted something from the Bronx.
No, no, no, I know New York artists like,
like for me, I mean at that time,
like that was coming up, I knew New York artists,
but I was listening to like a lot of underground,
like even like the people I know in the hood right now,
they don't really be listening to 9S on a charge.
How old are you to it?
19.
19, oh man.
So New York was definitely not popping,
popping when you was coming up.
Not at all, he was going up, not popping popping when you was coming up.
Not at all.
He was going up.
Is there any pressure coming from the Bronx as a rapper, knowing the rap history that
came before you, knowing that's the birthplace of hip hop?
I mean to be honest, not that I don't respect it, but being honest, I don't know it that
well, to the way y'all would know it.
So it's like, I don't even, as me being my age, from my perspective, I don't even see
it that way as impression.
Like, I kind of just be like, like, everybody that paid the way, like, you know what I'm
saying?
Like, like, shout out to y'all, you know what I'm saying?
And I, and of course, I know records that's like, for me, that lasted on to my era.
You know what I'm saying?
But like, I don't, I don't necessarily be feeling pressure, but I just feel like I'm
just here to represent right now, and I'm gonna put on.
I love it.
You know what I'm saying?
Because, you know, even you coming from New York,
you're just showing a different dynamic and you've
been inspired by different things.
And I think that's the only way a region
like New York will get back to that
type of musical prominence if you embrace
what you are instead of trying to be
what was. I think that was the problem for New York
for so long. Everybody tried to hold on to that boom bap
from the 80s and 90s. It didn't grow.
Yeah, for sure.
How did you get your deal? What was the first record that people started listening and you
were able to get your deal off of?
It's levels to it. So literally from the first song, I could say that first song I ever dropped
was moving. And it's just like everything was like, I feel like my whole career kind
of just went like this. I never had no big ass moment in my eyes from seeing it how I see it.
I don't know.
You know what the first song
you heard of mine was?
Calling My Phone.
S***.
No, it was before that.
It was my song.
Nah, you lying though.
Why?
I mean, not you lying,
but you probably don't know,
but you definitely had to hear
other s***.
Yeah, I probably,
you know what though,
but I know one of you,
well, he says he's in your circle.
I don't know if it's true.
Noodles?
Noodles.
Okay.
Yeah.
Noodles been talking about you for years.
That's my man.
Noodles went to school in South Carolina,
so I've been knowing Noodles forever.
Noodles is downstairs.
He's upstairs.
He's downstairs, yeah.
Eating, probably.
He's still fat as hell.
He ain't losing no money.
He ain't losing no weight during the pandemic.
No way.
No way.
Noodles is downstairs.
Okay, so now he's been talking about you forever,
so he might have played me some joints,
but the record I remember was Calling My Phone.
Yeah.
When you got your deal,
why did you decide to sign with a label
and not stay independent?
Because at the time, when New York was really,
well, they still on you,
but when it still was on you so heavy,
you could have did anywhere you wanted to go.
Yeah, I was broke as shit.
And I had, you know, I had my music on YouTube.
I was so, like, I ain't even, like, I ain't go to my mom for advice.
I was just so, like, I'm going to figure this shit out.
I was like, fuck the world at this point.
Like, I was just like, I came home from being locked up.
Like, I was emotional.
I felt like I wasn't treated right throughout my time.
I felt like, for me, I got locked up for something I really ain't do.
But, you know, this is like.
What'd you get locked up for?
What'd they charge you with?
I got locked up for a robbery. That't do. But you know, this is like... What'd you get locked up for? What'd they charge you with? I got locked up for
a robbery. That's what I got sentenced on.
The one I got locked up for,
I ain't do. But that's what
come with it. It's 100% what come with it.
So I had to deal with it, you know what I'm saying? But it was just like
a lot going through my head. So I was like, yo, f*** the
world type time, you know what I'm saying? I didn't really call a lot
when I was locked up, you know what I'm saying? This is at a
young age. So I was like, well, I already knew
when I came home, it was tunnel vision. Like, I could've swore to anybody I was gonna up. You know what I'm saying? This is at a young age. So I was like, I already knew when I came home it was tunnel vision.
Like, I could have swore to anybody
I was going to make it here.
How long were you in jail for?
I mean, I got locked up a couple times.
Like, different times.
Like, from three months
to five, seven, to a year.
What changed you?
What was the thing that changed you
that you said,
you know what, I can't do this no more?
Was it your mama crying?
Was the music taking off?
Was it somebody in the hood
you seen passing? It was music. that was the starter kid of me just
like not giving a about other i'm saying it was just like all right because because the
rihanna's like the only reason why i was doing the stupid that i was doing was because it was
up and no godness and none to even look forward to in life i had none of that for now i remember
the first time i heard it first time i heard it was, I think, a report that you reported.
In the rumor report.
It was something with a girl that you flew out and then went and fly her back or something like that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was a little shoddy.
She was too.
It's a little more of a story.
So you flew her in and then you got your own?
I mean, nah.
I mean, real shit.
Like, we just had a little miscommunication.
She flew in to see me, seen some girls on my phone, got mad, overreacted.
That happened.
You know, tried to call them people on me for no reason.
The police?
Yeah.
Damn.
And I was just, like, you know what I'm saying?
I was just, like, so left field for me, you know where I'm from.
You're not even calling the police.
You don't even want nobody to speak about that after, so that's not what you're going to do.
So I'm just, just like in disbelief,
you know what I'm saying?
And I just,
it was a whole little
internet moment.
Me today,
you'll never see that
from me ever again.
Whatever the situation is,
we're going to try to,
feel me,
maneuver it another way
that is not even,
I don't want no negative.
I'm trying to go positive,
you know what I'm saying?
I'm trying just,
for me,
that was a waste of my time,
you know what I'm saying?
It was just a lot going on
at that moment.
All right, when we come back, we got more with Lil T.J. let's get into his joint with Pop
Smoke it's called Mood Swings it's the Breakfast Club good morning that was Mood Swings Pop Smoke
Lil T.J. morning everybody it's D.J. Envy Angela Yee Charlamagne Tha God we are the Breakfast Club
we're still kicking it with Lil T.J. do you enjoy the fame and everything I mean because you know
you want it but you still want to enjoy your life.
You know what I mean? Yeah, you got to be careful,
but you still want to be able to spend money
and drive cars and go to
the mall and do those things. Are you happy
with that? Because you can't do all that now.
I could, to a certain extent.
I'm not just, like, running around
the Bronx on a drop top, but...
Please don't. Nah, nah.
But, I'm saying, like, I still
live my life, you know what I'm saying?
Because you can't just live out of fear,
you know what I'm saying? You gotta move smart and just think
things through, you know what I'm saying? So that's how I try to do.
But I don't, like, necessarily
hide myself
from the world. You know, it's interesting about
destiny, right? Like, I feel like destiny's not a matter
of chance, it's a matter of choice.
Yeah. So you to make good choices.
Make good choices, nine times out of ten, good things happen.
You know what I mean?
So I hope you don't feel the need to keep it real and just, as you said,
not going to drive around the Bronx in a drop top just because.
No, I'm not.
There's no reason to that.
That's crazy.
It's corny.
No, I think the reason why I don't really like glorifying it is because
people just embrace it in the wrong way.
You know what I'm saying?
Like the streets is what it is.
When you in it, you live in that way.
You know what I'm saying?
But then it's not something that you should want to be striving for living in or go deep
in.
You know what I'm saying?
If you don't have to, especially if it's something more positive another way, because it's just
so much easier for your life.
And I think about it's, you really live one time.
So what do you really want to do with your life?
You know who really knows that?
People who actually been in the streets.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
People who actually really was in the streets,
dig dirt, felt the consequences of it.
I see it right now.
All the, like, the tough ones now, you know what I'm saying?
Like, these is kids I used to bully that never, you feel me?
But they the ones
bugging out right now what do you demand about the people around you do you demand that they
are on the same you on like we ain't doing that hood street knucklehead yeah like when my
friends like it's certain things it's certain like i wouldn't tell you like like it's no picture
perfect game it's just we know what we doing and what we're not doing like for example with me
saying like oh i'm trying to be positive i'm not gonna let nobody come in my face disrespect me
probably gonna get swung on someone for me we're not we're not doing that you know i'm saying but
as long as respecting it's like if you don't gotta do something i'm saying if something don't
gotta escalate it it's not it's not nothing you know i'm saying it's somebody if i'm on the street
like i'm saying like let's say if like you know New York
That never give me
If you blatantly, you know, I'm saying doing unnecessary then we might up it on you real quick Like why does it why do y'all generation like they invite people to they gentle so much?
My daddy used to say if a man tell you suck his be ready to die or kill
Honestly speaking, you know, I'm a little Bronx, little ignorant kid.
When I was 14, all out of this stuff, that was regular on the block.
You see the cops, anybody, oh, suck my, your friend, yo, suck my.
That was just regular.
That was like, but that was younger days.
Once I went to jail and I came home, I remember my first day of school back.
My peers thought I got to go back to school. And I went to school and I'm in the hallway remember my first day of school back. My peers said I gotta go back to school.
And I went to school and I'm in the hallway and I hear everybody,
yo, Suck Ma. I was like really lost.
I was like, yo, damn, this is 360 from yesterday.
I had to go to school the next day.
I was like, damn, this is crazy.
Cause you don't hear that in jail.
You would never hear that in jail.
No, you're not even gonna say the last word.
You're gonna get your sh** wired.
And by the way, that's an invite in jail. Yeah, like you're not even going to say the last word. You're going to get your shit wired. And by the way, that's an inviting jail. Yeah, like, you're wilding.
I mean, nah, nah.
Nah, no.
Nah, no juveniles.
I don't know about.
I ain't never been no, like, long-term,
feel me, niggas' life, but niggas,
and, like, at least in the juvenile jails and stuff
I was at, you're not.
They ain't even knowing that.
Because they would lead to a fight immediately.
I'm saying, like, nah, you're saying, you're saying,
you're saying inviting.
It's not like, no, yeah, like, feel me,
they're not really, like, embracing no gay in juvenile jails.
How is juvenile jail for kids that's listening to this right now and think they tough and think they the toughest thing out there?
Break down what juvenile jail is and why they don't want to go.
It's like, you feel me?
It's annoying.
And the thing is, to be all the way honest with you, I don't know if you would know it, because, like, your mind is probably somewhere else.
But to, like, somebody like I used to be or somebody listening, a lot of times they be wanting to experiment this.
So the worst you make it sound is, like, I want to go.
Because in reality, that's how I used to think.
Like, I got sentenced to a year at, what, like, 14 or 15 years old.
I was smiling.
Like, that's like, like it was a game.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, within the year, I'm sitting there like, ah, damn, I want to go home.
You feel me?
But, like, you know what I'm saying?
It was a game.
Like, I can't wait to get back to the block.
Like, yeah.
But the thing is, it gets tougher because now you keep playing.
It's going to be more time.
You know what I'm saying?
And it's not cool.
You don't want to wake up.
You don't want to wake up you don't wanna wake up
in the morning
at a certain time
gotta go eat food
if you miss it
you don't eat till later
like you starving
you just be
you could be chilling here
we could be having
a good conversation
talking
and
I could get mad later
for something my mom
told me on the phone
and now you just
eating your food
have lunch
and I knock you out
while you're drunk
stuff like that happen.
Like, it's just...
It's unpredictable.
It's just a whole bunch of tweaks.
Did you learn anything from it?
I definitely learned stuff.
I mean, like, it shows you...
Me going to jail matured me.
It showed me how to listen in a room
instead of talking too much,
you know what I'm saying,
when I don't need to.
It showed me how to read people's energy.
Like, I could look at you,
like, if I know you and you give me a five,
I could read you if you even f*** with me.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, it gives you that.
Because you always on point about s***.
You seem like you got a good head on your shoulders, man.
Appreciate it.
Just keep it growing, man.
Stay positive.
And everything you're saying, absolutely do it and you're going to be all right.
Appreciate it.
And I'll say, yeah, stay on that same path, man.
Your peoples called me a couple of a long time ago
and said that you were interested in real estate.
And I love to hear all this coming up
because I wish I got into it when I was your age.
Because if I did, I would own half of New Jersey.
But the fact that you went to now, stay with it.
Because when this ends, you'll have that for the rest of your life.
Your kids will have it.
Your kids' kids will have it.
And stay with it, brother.
And you're only 19?
I'm only 19.
Good money.
I do want to ask you one question.
As a creator
when you do music
when you put it out
do you have expectations
or you just put it out
and just see what happens
I mean no no no
let me tell you something
my expectations
like if I
if I like
still still
my expectations
I'll be a failure
cause
if like you was to like
honestly speak to me
I'd have told you 100%
I'd have been where I'm at
right now
for my first album like I was that confident about it have been where I'm at right now for my first album.
Like, I was that confident about it.
You know what I'm saying?
So, it's a platinum album.
And then, like, I had a conversation with my manager the other day.
And I'm like, yo, bro, that shit should have been bigger.
He's like, bro, it's a platinum album.
Like, you're a new artist.
And I'm like, I get what you're saying.
But, like, in my head, I just be, like, you feel me?
I just want to see what that top like, you know?
And you should listen to that.
Please, if you get the chance.
I'm shooting myself my first album.
I'm proud of it.
I wrote it when I was, like, 17, 18.
And, yeah, like, you feel me?
So, expectation-wise, like, now just me knowing what I do, like,
averagely, you know what I'm saying?
I got, like, a standard, like, yo, I want this, you know what I'm saying?
But the goal is always, like, 100 times bigger.
Now I understand why there's so many songs on the new album.
You trying to prove something.
Yeah.
There's 21 records.
And no, but I got so many.
I got, bro, this is a new phone.
I mean, I got so many, so many.
Look at my phone.
I don't even really care about.
This is not even the newest shit for me.
You can't say you don't care about money.
That's what you're about to say?
Or you just don't care?
Look at all that jewelry you got on. Two watches. Hey, can I say you don't care about money. That's what you're about to say? Look at all that jewelry.
Two watches.
Can I tell you another thing too?
This really like
to be all honest with you, I just keep it
just to show it's coming.
Motivate people.
I know when I was there
I wanted this. I wanted all this.
You feel me? I already know how
I gotta live who I am up to who I am, you know what I'm saying?
And just show this is up, like, that's how I'm feeling.
But deeper than that, me, as a person,
I really don't give a f*** about nothing than s***,
you know what I'm saying?
Well, give me a watch.
It's my, it's my, you feel me?
It's my luck when I come in, you know what I'm saying?
Give me the diamond testing.
Let me check it. Let me see what's up. Now, they real what I'm saying? Give me the diamond testing. Let me check it.
Let me see what's up.
Now, they real.
Yeah.
You scared of the diamond testing?
Never.
Oh, okay.
Let's get on with it right now.
What you want to hear, man?
Play that What You Want To Do.
Okay.
All right, well, here it is.
What You Want To Do, Lil T.J.
We appreciate you for joining us.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. With Angela. Angela Yee. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip.
Gossip.
The Rumor Report.
Gossip.
With Angela Yee.
It's the Rumor Report.
The Breakfast Club.
All right.
Well, Saweetie has addressed the elevator video that was leaked of her and Quavo getting into it.
And she said, this unfortunate incident happened a year ago.
While we have reconciled since then and moved past this particular disagreement,
there were simply too many other hurdles to overcome in our relationship, and we have both since moved on.
Quavo also addressed that video footage.
He said, I haven't physically abused Saweetie
and have real gratitude for what we did share overall.
He said, we had an unfortunate situation almost a year ago
that we both learned and moved on from.
I saw something yesterday.
Aren't they both getting investigated or something like that?
Yeah.
The LAPD is investigating after seeing this video.
So I guess.
I reported that yesterday when he wasn't here.
I said they're being investigated about that video.
Nobody listens to your report.
I should forget you there.
All right.
Now, Ariana Grande had announced this week that she's going to be filling Nick Jonas's
empty seat for The Voice.
And she's getting paid more than anybody ever has.
She's getting between $20 and $25 million for that deal.
So she'll be The Voice's highest paid coach ever.
Before that, I remember they were talking about how much Kelly Clarkson got.
She got about $15 million when she joined The Voice.
But Ariana is really topping it out at $20 to $25 million.
That's huge.
And that's big money.
All right.
Now, I posted this yesterday, but I've been talking about this Facebook show that I got.
It's called Mastery of Comedy.
And it's finally dropping on Monday, the first episode.
There's six episodes.
Okay.
And here is the trailer.
This season on Mastery of Comedy.
Comedians, we live off energy.
You get that first laugh.
It's on. I'm recently single. Gotians, we live off energy. You get that first laugh, it's on.
I'm recently single.
Got left while I was in jail.
How do you feel you did?
Horrible.
So,
keep going.
Yeah.
Not used to performing
in front of people
with so much experience.
And now we are gonna match you up
with somebody who you're gonna mentor.
I bet you my mentee
gonna be funnier than y'all mentee. Wanna bet? So mentee is going to be funnier than y'all's mentee.
You want to bet?
So now it's a competition.
My mentee, of course your mentee.
So the whole point of this show is we had four established comics.
Roy Wood Jr. from The Daily Show.
Donnell Rawlings, you know him from The Chappelle Show.
Ada Rodriguez, she was on They Ready for Tiffany Haddish.
And also, of course, Carlos Miller from the 85 South Show and so we picked four
comedians who were up and coming that
had been working out in the clubs but haven't
had their big break yet and they actually mentored
them so you get to see the difference from
when they first hit the stage with no mentoring
until the end when they get
real breakout sessions.
It's a big difference. Yeah, that's a great lineup
of comics you got except for one.
Oh, we love all of them no no
they're all well
well
which one
and they
and they all have
a lot of stage experience
all of them
that actually helped out
these comics
which one
I can't even remember
and they really care
about helping people
the one you always
be looking out for
she be always
doing favors for him
I can't remember his name
it's good that he does
it's charity
you give a lot of charity for him
that is my boy.
And FYI,
I've known Donnell Rawlings
for so long.
Before the Chappelle show.
Can you write him off?
From when he used to live
in Brooklyn
from back in the day.
Can you write him off
at the end of the year?
Donnell won an Oscar
for his standout performance
in Soul.
No, he didn't.
So, congratulations.
Yeah, he did.
Soul won an Oscar.
He got an Oscar too.
So, congratulations to Donnell Rollins.
But no, I'm excited.
I'm excited.
I'm excited for the show, though, because it does give really good advice for anybody who's ever thought about stand-up comedy,
from just the physical things that you can do on stage to be a better comic that you might not even think about,
to actually delivering jokes and how you can turn one joke into 10 different jokes.
So you'll get to see it all go down.
And if something you thought about doing is helpful.
Yeah, it's definitely a science in comedy.
Like people think, you know,
just because you're naturally funny,
you can get up on that stage.
No way, Jose.
You are a one man gang against a whole room
and that can be very bad.
It's a science to stand-up comedy
that I absolutely respect. So salute
to all the stand-up comics out there.
Because there's only two things I like. I like people that are
funny and people that bomb.
Those are my two favorite things. You see me laughing
at a comic show? Why? I mean, they're laughing because somebody's
real funny or they're bombing.
Right. And everybody, I think, every stand-up
comic in the beginning has had to go through
multiple bombings to get really great at what they've done.
Nobody just gets on stage and kills it.
Every time.
It's definitely not an easy thing to do.
Oh, today.
There's little things.
Oh, good.
Go ahead.
Not going to say today.
Carlos Miller born day to drop on a clue.
Happy birthday, Carlos.
Yeah, dropping a clue for my guy, Carlos Miller, man.
Today's his born day.
And shout out to Ricky Hughes.
She also manages Carlos, but she actually executive produced this show with me.
And she's the one that does like all of De Chappelle's stuff.
She just did the Living Black for iHeart.
She produced that.
And so she also directed and produced this for me as well.
So it was really fun working with her because that's my girl.
Dope, dope, dope.
All right.
And that is your rumor report.
All right.
And my man TK Kirkland born day is tomorrow too.
TK going to be 60 years old.
Is he really?
Yes.
Drop on the clues bombs with TK.
No, he's not.
You are lying.
I am not lying.
That's my man.
TK is not going to be no damn 64.
I said 60.
He's not going to be 60.
TK Kirkland is going to be 60 years old tomorrow.
Man, what y'all talking about?
He says he's a senior citizen.
Remember, he goes to IHOP.
TK is an OG. He goes to IHOP for the senior citizen. He's right. He be 60 years old tomorrow. Man, what y'all talking about? He said he's a senior citizen. Remember, he goes to IHOP. TK is an OG.
He goes to IHOP for the senior citizen.
He's right.
He is 59 years old.
I've known TK since he was 40.
I've known TK a long time.
Me too.
I've known TK for like 20 years.
That's my man.
All right.
Shout out to TK as well.
But why does it say his birthday is April 31st on here?
There's no April 31st, is there?
No, it doesn't make no sense.
It's September, April, June, and November.

What's up, Stout?
Congratulations, man, first of all.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I feel like home when I come here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, like this whole thing has played out.
Well, first of all, my career has played out in front of you guys.
You're in the business.
But more importantly, or just as important
United Masses and the idea
What specifically on this show has played out United Masters got a 50 million dollar?
Investment from Apple. Yeah, so break that down explain that where does the money go who eats off an actor the artists get it? How does it happen first First, thank you. There's claps that's going to come on. Yeah, there's going to be claps. There's going to be claps.
There's going to be applause.
All that.
Well, the first thing it does is, you know, it validates my vision.
You know, when I was saying this three, four years ago,
people gave me the benefit of the doubt because of my career or whatever,
but maybe I was bugging, right?
Maybe I was the guy that was past his prime that was bugging.
A little bit of that, you know, you never know.
Never that, but whatever.
And then, like, we broke NLE Choppa, and then we're like, okay, maybe, maybe.
And what does it mean?
And what does a distribution company mean?
Then we talked about how the distribution of value.
Those who bring the most value should take the most out of it.
If technology is really working at its finest, it redistributes the value chain. Those who bring the most value should take the most out of it.
If technology is really working at its finest, it redistributes the value chain.
And the person, the author of the work, should get a lion's share of the revenue.
And that's what a distribution company does.
It allows the artist to not sign their rights away, in music specifically,
and they don't have to sign their rights away
and still get the benefit and the value of distribution.
At United Masters, we added more than just distribution, brand partnerships, partnerships
with TikTok and the NBA and ESPN, which has been well documented.
So the $50 million in the investment and partnership from Apple, that only validates the vision,
but it also says to every independent
artist around the world that
the playing field is not level.
You don't have to sign to a major label
to get the same opportunities as them.
It's an option, but it's not the
only option. And this is the option.
This is what I've been, you know, sort of
wanting to happen for many, many years. So
I'm extremely proud to be
here and talk about it today and to be able to offer that service to independent artists all around the world.
How did it happen?
Most independent artists, I was going to say,
the reason they don't want to go independent
is because they always feel that a bigger label will give them the promotion they need,
will pay for, you know, get the radio, the record spending on radio,
help traveling, help tour.
So with this money, are you saying now that money is for the same thing? They'll be able to get the same promotion, the same radio, help traveling, help tour. So with this money, are you saying now that money is for the same thing?
They'll be able to get the same promotion, the same radio, the same touring,
the same all that help that a bigger label would.
So there's a lot of things that bigger labels are supposed to do.
Correct.
They do it for the artists who make it.
And a lot of artists that don't make it don't have that.
The most important thing for an artist today,
and I think the most important thing for an artist today, and I think the most important thing
for every creator today,
is the way they use their social media tools.
Back in the day, if you were a recording artist,
you had to sign to a record deal,
you had to sign to a record deal
before you found an audience.
So, oh, I got a deal, oh, now I found an audience.
You actually find your
audience today before you find a record company anyway right so why are you
signing away the rights to that they're ready you don't need the record company
guy to close his eyes and say that's a hit the fans already told you it's a hit
you already put the song out you already shared a snippet of it or whatever it
may be the value needs to be redistributed, and it has been.
So yes, the $50 million is to invest further in technology.
I believe the modern-day music company,
the record company in your pocket,
which we are at United Masses,
that's our North Star, that's what we are building,
is you need to have the tech edge.
So when everybody's talking about NFTs and blockchain
and all of the different things that are unlocked because of technology,
the first thing you have to do is own it.
The second thing you need is somebody to help you mine it, right?
We have that and are further investing in that.
And then there's talent, executive talent as well as artist talent,
which is what you're talking about, right? Which is
helping artists promote themselves
and be able to
really grow in their career
and level up. So where does the $50 million go
though? How is it distributed? I mean, there's
thousands of artists out there. Millions.
No, I'm just saying, no. The $50
million goes to the company. We use
it and deploy it, again, against
international growth,
hiring great technology, engineers, product people.
So it's over there.
Data scientists.
Yeah, it's for infrastructure.
Okay, got you.
It's infrastructure, it's growth.
I'm a CEO.
I use it wherever I want.
Take it to St. Bart's, go fishing, whatever.
Don't say that.
People will believe you.
Like, Steve Stout says you're going to take the album money and go fishing.
At least 5%, definitely.
But how does it benefit the artist directly, that people will believe you. Like, Steve Stout says he's going to take the album money and go fish it. At least 5%, definitely. He's taking it.
But how does it benefit
the artist directly, I guess?
Because I know it's artists listening.
It does help the infrastructure
of anything that you are a partner with.
The better the infrastructure,
the better it is for you as an artist.
I mean, that's a very important thing.
I don't want to skip over that lightly.
I think every artist is walking around today, and they all
got a manager. And the manager
was something that came out the modern day
record business, because, you know,
you were going to do tours, and when
they started to commercialize music in the 50s,
you needed a manager. You're an artist,
you're going to go to all that stuff. I think today
an artist could have a manager.
I think that's still of value.
But I think an artist needs a chief technology officer.
If you don't have a technology person in your camp,
how are you going to take advantage of all of this stuff?
Because your manager read about it?
That ain't enough.
Like, you need a plug-in.
You need to really figure out how you're going to get this thing done.
And, you know, as you guys, for example,
have tremendously grown in your career
and gotten other businesses,
you realize the power of having infrastructure.
You just can't, like, say, oh, my man's going to do it.
How would you get all these companies off
if your man was doing it?
You need infrastructure.
Absolutely.
And that's what this is all about.
Artists need the tech infrastructure in order to get all this stuff done, because that's where everything is going is to if you're sit there and be like, I don't care about
that as long as my s*** is streaming.
But if you really want to get that bread,
you'll actually start to understand all that stuff.
So what's next for United Masters?
More growth. Global
growth. More opportunities
for independent artists.
Just dominate this space. I just think
that we are in pole position
to do what we need to do
to make independent artists
feel like they can be the same
as far as stardom is concerned
and opportunities
as an artist that's signed
to a major label.
And as long as I'm running it,
I'm going to make sure
that that remains the case.
I'm always happy
to come up on the show
and talk about it
because I'm a kid from Queens,
five colleges in two years, didn't graduate, and I put it all together and now could sit here and say at 50
years old that I have a partnership with Apple. I don't want anybody to feel like there's something
about that that they can't do. Just have irrational belief in yourself, have irrational persistence and irrational understanding of perfection.
You need those three things.
Just this irrational belief that no one can tell you that you can't do something.
This irrational belief that you're going to persevere no matter what.
And once you bring that irrational attitude towards the thing
that you love,
you will be successful.
All right.
Well, thank you for joining us.
Steve Stout.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you for having me.
All right, Steve,
we appreciate you for joining us.
And yeah,
it's time to get up out of here.

Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag.
This is mine.

No country willingly gives up their territory.
