The Breakfast Club - Do You Believe Jussie Smollett

Episode Date: March 27, 2019

Today on the show we opened up the phone lines after news got out that Jussie Smollett charges were dropped, so we wanted to know if any of our listeners still believe that he is guilty of the crime. Moreover, Charlamagne gave "Donkey of the Day" to a drunk driver that sprayed axe in his mouth in hopes to fool cop and Angela helped some listeners out during Ask Yee.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Soothe everybody out there that thinks the camel is doing Charlamagne appropriation whenever they see that Geico commercial. Like they got it from you instead of you got it from them. That's how you can tell somebody's age. You can tell somebody's age. They'll be like, oh, shoot. Oh, no, they stole your thing. That camo do what Charlamagne does on Wednesday. Nope.

That camo been around longer than me, I think. Nope. Well, what's up, guys? What's happening? What's up? It is hump day. Shout out to everybody at Foot Locker yesterday. It's Women's Kick Story Month.

It was also Air Max Day yesterday. And so they had an event there. I introduced my drink fresh juice at that event. Oh, that's why everybody was also Air Max Day yesterday. And so they had an event there and I introduced my drink fresh juice at that event. Oh, that's why everybody was posting Air Max yesterday? Yeah. Yeah, it was Air Max Day.

I got on social media for a little while yesterday and I saw everybody posting Air Max. I didn't know that was a real thing. I just thought that was something they made up on social media. No, yesterday was Air Max Day. Air Max Day was yesterday, yep.

Mm-hmm. 26. And shout out to everybody in Detroit. Yeah, I was, of course I'm in Detroit now. What up, Doe? I do an R&B Tuesday once a month and it's just real dope. Everybody shout out to everybody in Detroit. Yeah, of course I'm in Detroit now. What up, Doe? I do an R&B Tuesday once a month. And it's just real dope.

Everybody comes out. They come out and supports. And I was also checking up on some homes that I have in Detroit. R&B Tuesday? First of all, what is R&B Tuesday? There's nothing but R&B music. On a Tuesday? Really?

Yeah. So you go out there and you play everybody you grew up on? Like Al B. Shaw, Christopher Williams, all your beige heroes? Uh, sure. Uh, yeah. Let me see what else. I play Tevin Campbell. You know, all the R&B joints.

New stuff. LMA. That sounds like fun. Miguel. It's just the R&B joint is real sexy, real nice. Everybody just have a good time. It's really, really dope. Sounds like a nice little kickback.

Yeah, just kick back, relax, and enjoy. That's it. And then, of course, I was checking up on the properties I have in Detroit and looking to purchase some more properties in Detroit. Properties in Detroit have shot up. I mean, Angela Yee actually advised me about Detroit three years ago, and that's probably one of the best investments I made purchasing some homes in Detroit. Really, really good.

I think we paid, what, $20,000, $15,000 to $20,000 for the properties. Some, Yee, I think paid for like $5,000 or a dollar. You got some ridiculous amount. Actually, I sold a house yesterday, right. You got some ridiculous amount. Actually, I sold a house yesterday, so give it up for me. Nice. Yes. That was very exciting.

But I do have another home that I'm keeping because I love Detroit. So I've been working on that and making it like top notch. But yes, that house. They have an auction in Detroit. The land bank auctions off two houses every single day. And the auction starts at $1,000. Y'all getting money. Who gonna buy me breakfast this morning?

Because I ain't got it. Who gonna buy me? Can somebody? I just need a few dollars. So we like to encourage people. For a bagel or something. And the auction used to start at $500, but now it starts at $1,000.

Yeah, so you can pick up a house anywhere from $1,000 to, I think, it goes up to like $20, $25 or $50. But it's not that easy. I'm gonna be honest, it's not that easy to get it anymore now. And those auctions online, they do end up, sometimes they go up to like over $100,000 depending on where the house is and where the property is.

So it's not like it's a short shot. It's not like you could just buy a house for $1,000. Definitely go online and check it out. Did I buy you breakfast? Did you ever pay Kendra that money yesterday? I don't have money. Y'all out here talking about $100,000 spending and stuff. Like, I just need a couple

of dollars for breakfast, please. We just said I bought a house for $1,000. Please. Where'd you get that? That's a lot of money. Y'all just gave, y'all just had to give Kendra

back $1,000 yesterday. Well, Charlamagne, we told you, if you have good credit, you said you have great credit at 800 credit score. Yeah, you don't even need money. You can get a lending.

I can't buy breakfast with good credit. Can somebody please just buy? Yes, you can. All I want is a bagel. Get a credit card. I get a bagel. But we do want to encourage people, the whole point is to credit. Can somebody please? Yes, you can. All I want is a bagel. Get a credit card. I get a bagel. But we do want to encourage people.

The whole point is to invest. If you get your tax refund and you do have a couple thousand dollars because you have a tax refund instead of just blowing it, the better thing to do is try to invest that money and let it grow. Absolutely. You got three kids, Charlo, and I'm sure you're getting some money back this year. Yeah, you always talk about how much money you've been making. I never talk about how much money I'm making. Don't tell that lie. I'm sure you're getting some money back. Ain't no, you always talk about how much money you've been making. I never talk about how much money I'm making. Don't tell that lie.

I'm sure you'll get some money back. Ain't no need for you to tell that lie. All right, well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about?

Man, we cannot start this day without talking about Jussie Smollett and what went down. Looks like he is not going to face any jail time. Did he collude with the Nigerians?

So, we shall see. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. 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 in some front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? Well, Jesse Smollett, he showed up in court yesterday for a previously unscheduled hearing. And it turns out that the prosecutors dropped all charges in that indictment accusing him of staging that hate crime against him he said he was a victim of a hate crime now allegedly prosecutors had all kinds of overwhelming evidence against him but this deal that he did he agreed to forfeit the ten thousand dollars he posted for his bond he also performed community service

and completed that community service on monday according to that deal, he does not have to admit that he did anything wrong. And according to Jussie Smollett's lawyers, they're saying there was no agreement at all. They also said now that the entire court file has been sealed because he's asked for that to be sealed. So we're not going to know exactly what happened. Here's what Jussie had to say after the charges were dropped. I want you to know that not for a moment was it in vain. I've been truthful and consistent on every single level since day one. I would not be my mother's son if I was capable of one drop of what I've been accused of.

This has been an incredibly difficult time. Honestly, one of the worst of my entire life. But I'm a man of faith and I'm a man that has knowledge of my history and I would not bring my family, our lives or the movement through a fire like this. You know, all those counts you have were only going to lead to community service anyway, so why not cut it? Right. Why go to court and embarrass yourself any further? Police officers said they had a bunch of evidence to show he committed the crime,

but now because he took the deferred prosecution deal, a lot of the case will be sealed and now he can just let the court of public opinion argue amongst themselves on whether he's guilty or not. Now Mayor Rahm Emanuel from Chicago had this to say about the charges getting dropped this is a whitewash of justice a grand jury could not have been clearer to then say not only is the cost ten thousand dollars doesn't come cost financially but all the other repercussions of this decision made where is the accountability in the system you cannot have because of a person's position one set of rules apply to them and another set of rules apply to everybody else oh it's not looking like that it does make sense though i mean he was only going to get community

service anyways that's what they're saying so why use the taxpayers money to take this to trial i get that when there's other trials and other things that they can use with that money but i do get that but the fact that he's even saying, I still didn't say something. I still didn't do. I would just say thank you for praying for me. Keep it moving. Well, doesn't that mean that the brother should get charged? Because that would mean that they really did.

If he is still what he's saying is true. Well, that's an argument. That's an argument for social media. Did Donald Trump collude with Russians and did Jussie Smollett collude with Nigerians? All right. Now, the first assistant state attorney, Joseph Magatz, had this to say about this whole situation. He does

still believe that Jussie Smollett is guilty. Does dropping the charges vindicate him? No. Does it exonerate him? No. Do you believe that he is innocent? I do not believe he's innocent. So you believe he's guilty? Yes. So why drop the charges? Based on all the facts and circumstances, based on his lack of criminal background.

I mean, we defer or do alternative prosecutions. In the last two years, we've done it on 5,700 other felony cases. And Jussie really does need to shut the F up about this, though. No need to talk about this anymore whatsoever. Because every time you speak, you sound like you're lying. And I don't understand why Jussie's lawyers keep saying there was no deal when the deal is clearly right there. Like, why would you, like, but why say that?

Why even put that out there? Yeah, I don't get it. I don't know, but he still could face federal charges. So Jussie Smollett still could face federal charges. The FBI and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, they are still continuing their probe, and that's because of that letter that they're saying Jesse Smollett might have sent to himself. That letter that basically said, you will die black.

And it was a gay slur in there with cut out magazine letters and MAGA written in letters across the envelope. And it had crushed up white powder that they later determined was aspirin. All right. Well, that is your front page news. Are y'all watching Empire tonight is the question, though. Oh, is it still on it? Yeah, tonight is Wednesday. It comes on tonight. Is he still on it, though?

I don't think he's on it anyways. I haven't seen it in a while. Oh, he is. Yes. All right, well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe you had a bad night, horrible night, or maybe you feel blessed.

Now, my people in Chicago did say that the mayor looked more upset over Jussie getting off yesterday than he does when black kids get shot by the police.

Let's go! I was talking to him about a situation I had talked about with one of my homeboys yesterday that I wanted to talk to you about. Okay. So, Eve, the first time I've ever heard about somebody spitting during intercourse was on your podcast. Yeah. Which is disgusting, but I didn't think it was normal until one of my homeboys told me about it.

He's like, yeah, it's so normal. People do it all the time. And I was just like, y'all so nasty. If anybody does that, it's nasty. I'm not here to judge. Right. Some people are very, very into it.

I'm just not into like spitting in anyone's mouth. Oh, spitting. Oh, you've done that before, Envy? Nah, nah, I don't spit. Gia's not having that either. So you never asked her

to spit in your mouth? Nah. See, and that's like people don't listen to health class. I mean, I would understand if the new generation kids and that's, that's, it's like people don't listen to health class. I mean, I would understand if the new generation kids do that because, you know, health class is really not mandatory, I want to say nowadays, but that's just nasty. And I, I mean, I understand if y'all want to do other routes, but.

But although when you are kissing somebody, you guys are swapping spit. I mean, you're already having sex with the person. What's a little, what's a little, what's a little trait of saliva if you're already having sex with a person? I get it. People like it. I'm just not into it. What if you're having raw sex? People like it.

I'm just not that into it. That's all. Yeah, I don't even know how to spit. I can't even spit myself. You don't know how? No. Every time I spit, it just drools down my lip. I can't spit.

I don't know what you're worried about. If you're worried about the exchange of bodily fluids, you're doing that anyway by kissing. You're doing that anyway by having sex. You're sweating. You got the person anyway by having sex. You're sweating. You got the person sweating all over you. We know in a group who spits. We know now

out of all three of us. We know who's a spitter. He's a spitter. Have I spit before? Yeah, I'm not a spitter. It's not something I enjoy. Yo, some can spit. Listen, when you grow up

It's good to hear y'all voice on my phone. You've been trying to get through for years, and that's all you got to say, ma? Not for years. I was exaggerating. I know. Like black people do. We often exaggerate and ask people. Well, she's excited, and that's all you got to say, ma? Not for years. I was exaggerating. I know. Like black people do. We often exaggerate and ask people what. Well, she's excited, and I'm excited that she's excited.

And Trev is going to be in the audience because it's a very crowd participation type of show. So you guys will participate in games and Trav is going to be moderating all of that. It's going to be lit. And what y'all mean? I'm right here, boy. What's up, sis? How you?

Boy, sis? Which one is it? How you, sis? Right. I'm clearly boy, sis. What's up, boy, sis? No, boy. Boy, bussy.

Can we drop one of the Clues bombs for the gay Tupac? Why are we dropping one of Clues' bombs for the gay Tupac? Because his lying ass got off just like all these other white people get off. That's why. Bussie. But we knew he was going to get off, though. I mean, first of all, all his charges was only going to lead to community service anyway. So, I mean.

So, that's why I was confused because all the articles I read. So, is he doing community service or were they saying that he was a service to the community service anyway. So, I mean... So, that's why I was confused because, like, all the articles I read, so is he doing community service or were they saying that he was, like, a service to the community because ABC News was so confusing? They're not.

They say he did community service this weekend. Yeah, it was over the weekend when Jesse Jackson's push. Oh, okay. Yeah. Well, all right. I'm just glad he didn't go to jail.

That's all. He wasn't ever going to jail. That was not happening. All right, y'all. All right. Maybe we can get him to come to the service live, Trav. Maybe. All right. Jesse needs to lay low. That's what Jesse needs to do. That was not happening. Alright, maybe we can get him to come to the service live, Trav. Maybe. Alright. Jesse needs to lay low.

That's what Jesse needs to do. Jesse needs to lay low and shut the F up forever. Don't say nothing about this ever again. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time. Nayee, we got rumors on the way? Yes, we are going to be talking about Justin Bieber. Now, do y'all all still love

your exes? Well, Justin Bieber did admit that he still loves his ex. We'll tell you what happened. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's about time.

What's going on? Rumor report. Rumor report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to him. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, we were telling you about Justin Bieber taking a break because he

needs to focus on some deep-rooted issues. He discussed dealing with depression and all of that, but he is still working on music. Well, he got very upset. Somebody wrote, you are not in love with Hailey. You only married her to get back at Selena Gomez, plus Hailey sleeps with men like Shawn Mendes for fame, and she's

a racist. Dang. Well, Justin Bieber did respond. He said, a logical person doesn't talk or think this way. You should be ashamed of yourself, really. I absolutely loved and love Selena. She will always hold a place in my heart. But I am head over heels in love with my wife, and she is absolutely

the best thing that has ever happened to me. He goes on to say, this is a reply to all immature, sick people who send Hailey hurtful messages, like he always goes back to Selena, or Selena is better for him. You have no idea my life and what's good for me. Hailey is my bride, period. If you don't like that or support that, that means you don't support me. You're not a fan or a good person. If you were raised right, your parents would have said, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything.

Yeah, I mean, when celebrities make statements like that, they are making them for the press. Those are things they want the world to know, but they don't necessarily want to volunteer the information. So when you have a person on social media who says something to them,

they can take that opportunity to say what it is they really want to say. Yeah, he clearly wants to make sure everyone sees his message because he also posted a screenshot of it in his Instagram story and said, stop sending Haley and I these messages. If you love me, screenshot this and

repost everywhere. Hey, just want you to know that that doesn't work on social media. When you say things like that, you just make the trolls say more. This is how I'll get them to respond. Yes. They're just going to send more messages to your wife now, but I understand the sentiment, Justin. Now, there was also a woman who just went into his hotel room. He was staying at a hotel in

Laguna Beach yesterday and somebody just bursted into his room. Apparently, she'd been partying, and she'd been roaming the hallways of the hotel. Security had actually escorted her off the property. She ended up coming back. She was drunk, and she said that she entered his room by mistake, so he just told her to get out, and security held her until cops arrived. That's right. Get out of here, devil. Leave now.

How did she get into his room, though? How did she get into the room? I don't know how she got in. That's the most important thing. How did she just open the door and walk right in? Who knows? Probably came in through a vent. A vent.

Trying to make that man cheat. Get out of here. All right. Get behind me, Satan. Kodak Black was supposed to do a show in Canada, but unfortunately, he couldn't get into Canada. Now, we can't tell everything that went on because, you know, his Instagram is offline right now. He's had a lot of activity on there as of late.

But as DJ DJ Showtime said, I didn't know it was so hard getting into Canada. Where have you been? For all the fans who wanted to see Kodak Black tonight, sorry, y'all. Government, don't play the radio. Just know we tried to get in there for y'all. And Kodak is very upset about the outcome. I'm not mad at Canada. I can see why they wouldn't let Kodak Black in their country.

I can understand. I get it. All right. Now, let's discuss Apple TV+. They have some new programming that's going to go live. In addition to digital editions of print magazines, they're also going to have a lot of different shows. And Oprah is actually going to have a couple of projects on there. She has two new documentaries that she's talking about.

One of them is about sexual harassment and assault in the workplace. It's called Toxic Labor right now. And the second project, which is untitled, is a multi-part series about mental health and how depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, trauma, and loss affects lives on a global scale.

She's also bringing back her book club on the streaming service in a fresh way. She's going to have original author interviews. Okay. I'm here for the mental health documentary. Yeah, it should be exciting. And her book recommendations. Yeah, the book club. Even though I can get those from her podcast.

Yeah. But, you know, she's going to do the interviews with authors, and I love doing that. You know, I have my book club, and I do my interviews with authors too, but I think it's just a whole different level when you're able to bring that to people so they can actually talk to the author,

see what the author was thinking, and it's just nice, intimate. All right, Tiffany Haddish, by the way, is producing a stand-up comedy series for Netflix. It's called Tiffany Haddish Presents They Ready, and she actually hand-picked six up-and-coming stand-up comics to do half-hour specials. Yes, so that's a great deal that she brokered because, you know, she's able to empower other comedians. She's executive producer alongside Wanda Sykes and Paige Hurwitz. So congratulations to her.

Drop her the clues, Monser Tiff. All right, Buja Bantan is talking about his controversial song, Boom Bye Bye. That song is from 1992. I know a lot of people are going to see Buja in concert. I'll be seeing him in the Bahamas this weekend. You're going this weekend? Yes, in the Bahamas. Don't tell me Buju apologized for that song.

What he said was he wrote that song when he was a lot younger. He was 15 years old when he wrote that song, and it was originally about a pedophile who was caught molesting young boys in his neighborhood in Jamaica. He hasn't performed that song since 2007, but he did speak out. He told Urban Islands, I recognize that song has caused much pain

to listeners as well as to my fans, my family, and myself. After all the adversity we've been through, I'm determined to put this song in the past and continue moving forward as an artist and as a man. I affirm once and for all that everyone has the right to live as they so choose. In the words of the great Dennis Brown, love and hate can never be friends. I welcome everyone

to my shows in a spirit of peace and love. Please come join me in that same spirit. So that song has been removed from all streaming services like Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, all of that. Listen, when you know better, you do better. But boy, I'll tell you one thing. If hip-hop artists stop performing songs that are destructive to our people and community and offensive,

boy, that catalog would be non-existent, won't they? Boom Bye Bye was a little harsh. That was a little harsh. It was very harsh. You can't do that. A full song? A full song. But I didn't know that song was what he said was about a pedophile that was molesting young boys. I didn't know that's what he originally wrote it about,

but it's a terrible song. I agree Boom Bye was a terrible song, but you telling me that there's not a bunch of songs in hip hop back catalog that aren't just as terrible? No, a full song? When it comes to misogyny, when it comes to murder, when it comes to the celebration of drug culture, gang culture, y'all out y'all damn mind. Knock it off. Not about killing a gay person just because they're gay.

I don't know. What other song? You tell me a song. What did you grow up in? What country did you grow up in? All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Hey, fam.

Try Orange Vanilla Coke and Orange Vanilla Coke Zero Sugar for yourself at your closest retailer today. A shout out to everybody who's writing, hey, fam, to me on Twitter. All right. Thanks, fam. Well, fam, we got front page news coming up. What are we talking about, fam? Yes right. Thanks, fam. Well, fam, we got front page news coming up. What are we talking about, fam?

Yes, we do, fam. We're going to talk about Jesse Smollett, and he is still going to be facing federal charges, possibly, but good news for him. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get into some front page news. What are we talking about, Yeezy? Well, let's start off with the NFL.

NFL owners have approved a new rule that makes past interference reviewable. Now, this would have really helped out when the Saints played the Rams and they missed that past interference call, which was very critical, and people were still mad about that. They were trying to do all kinds of lawsuits against the NFL. So this is something very new. So as you guys watch the NFL, I know you'll be interested to see about them being able to replay reviews on past interference calls.

Just make the right call. All the people in New Orleans who are sitting there like, I don't give a damn about that right now. Should have had that last year. Right. Well, moving forward. What can you do? All right.

Now let's get into Jussie Smollett. He has had all of these charges dropped against him. That was the accusations of him staging an attack against him, saying that he was falsely claiming he was the victim of a hate crime. Now, prosecutors did claim they had overwhelming evidence. But according to this deal, he did not have to admit he did anything wrong. In other words, his lawyers are saying that there was no agreement and now the entire court file has been sealed. All of that is at Jesse Smollett's request. So it looks like he doesn't have to admit any wrongdoing. And he's

even saying that he was honest the whole time. I want you to know that not for a moment was it in vain. I've been truthful and consistent on every single level since day one. I would not be my mother's son if I was capable of one drop of what I've been accused of. This has been an incredibly difficult time, honestly one of the worst of my entire life, but I'm a man of faith and I'm a man that has knowledge of my history and I would not bring my family, our lives, or the movement through a fire like this. Now the prosecutor in the case, Joseph Magatz, said that they actually feel like, you know, he doesn't have a violent criminal history and lying about the alleged attack was not a violent crime.

And they prioritize violent crimes in Chicago. And this case wouldn't be the best use of their resources. So here is what Joseph Magatz had to say. Does dropping the charges vindicate him? No. Does it exonerate him? No. Do you believe that he is innocent? I do not believe he's innocent. So you believe he's guilty? Yes. So why drop the charges? Based on all the facts and circumstances, based on his lack of

criminal background. I mean, we defer or do alternative prosecutions. In the last two years, we've done it on 5,700 other felony cases. Well, you know, I really feel like they did that just to embarrass Jesse. Like, you know, they knew the facts of the case, so they put the facts of the case out there, let the court of public opinion, you know, kill him for a little bit, but they weren't ever going to try to pursue this situation because all those counts were just going to lead the community service anyway.

Well, he can still face federal charges, and that's all because of the situation with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. They're actually still continuing their probe into that threatening letter that they feel like he might have sent to himself. It said, you will die, black and the gay slur word, and cut out magazine letters. And there was a stick figure hanging from a tree on this letter. And MAGA was written in red letters across the envelope. And it also had crushed up aspirin. It was a white powder they later determined was aspirin in it.

It's better off for him to take the deal because why go to court and embarrass yourself any further? He said he didn't take a deal. That's a lie. He did take a deal.

That's a deal. That is a deal. So that lets you know right there you can't make the statement I've been telling the truth the whole time but then have your lawyer say there was no deal

when the details of the deal are right there in your face. Yeah, why do community service if there was no deal? Like he did it. It was a deal. He did community service. Obviously it was a deal. He for in your face. Yeah, why do community service if there was no deal? Like, he did it. It was a deal. He did community service. Obviously, it was a deal.

He forfeited his $10,000 bond. That was a deal. That's all part of the deal. Like, come on now. They said that that was not community service. He did volunteer work. And a lot of the cases will be sealed. Okay, so now he can just let the court of public opinion argue amongst themselves on whether he is guilty or not.

All right, well, he did that two days community service with Rainbow Push Coalition, which is Jesse Jackson's organization. And that's it. No need for Jesse to talk about this anymore whatsoever because every time

Jesse speaks on this situation, it sounds like he's lying. You think this is going to affect his career or you think he'll still get work now? I think he'll be fine. I mean, he'll be okay. I think he'll be okay. I think he'll be okay.

I think he'll be fine. Like you think directors are now going to stray away from that? You think he'll still be on Empire? I honestly don't know. I mean,

I don't even know how much... If you were a director and you had the opportunity, would you say, okay, it's just his talent. That's a good question. Or would you say, I don't even want to deal with it?

It depends if I got any Nigerians working with me on set because clearly he don't get along with Nigerians in some way, shape, or form. That's a good question. It's like I wouldn't Nigerians working with me on set because clearly he don't get along with Nigerians in some way, shape, or form. That's a good question. It's like I wouldn't have Trump around no Russians.

I wouldn't have Jussie around no Nigerians. But if you think about it, if you wanted him to work with you, I think it would be better if he, in my opinion, just said, you know what? I did this. I effed up. I was wrong.

He said he wasn't wrong. He's still saying that he didn't do anything wrong. You heard him out of his mouth. I'm just telling you what he's saying. Do you believe that, though? I believe it was fishy. I don't know what happened. Do you believe he's telling the truth?

Answer the question. Do you believe he's telling the truth? I don't know what his truth is. He is not a fish. Okay. He's far from it. And I also feel like if this is the case and he was telling the truth, then someone needs to be prosecuted. Man, okay. It's far from fish. And I also feel like if this is the case and he was telling the truth, then someone needs to be prosecuted.

Man, listen. And that would mean that he was really attacked. He got a deal. This is why this situation is so perfect. This is why you do this deal, because now you can just let the court of public opinion argue amongst themselves. That's why he should not say anything else about this situation, because when he talks, it clearly sounds like he's not telling

the truth. Is he still the gay Tupac? He never was the gay Tupac. Oh my goodness. All right. Okay. He's definitely gay, but Tupac, he is not. Well, let's open up the phone lines.

Let's talk about this. 800-585-1051. Let's talk about Jussie Smollett. Now, do you still believe he's guilty? Oh my God. Would you still work with him? Would you want to work with him? Would you hire him? Would you want to work with him? Would you hire him?

Would you want to see him? Some people might say, look, he's talented and that's really all that matters. I don't think he's not above redemption. Like everybody can have redemption. You know what I'm saying? But you got to tell the truth though for redemption though, right? Okay. Like before you can move forward, do you feel like he has to say, okay, I did make this up?

I don't know if he did it or not. Nobody does. Some things just are. And this is one of those situations that just, it is make this up. I don't know if he did it or not. Nobody does. Some things just are. And this is one of those situations that just, it is what it is. You ain't believing from the beginning, though. So? I'm just saying. So in your heart, you don't think he's telling the truth?

No, I don't. The whole thing just sounds fishy and weird. We'll open up the phone lines. Why do y'all keep referring to this man as a fish? This man is not a fish. 585-1051. Could somebody from the gay community please call up and tell us why Jussie is not a fish, please? Call us up right now.

I don't think Angel E and DJ Envy understand how this gay lingo, gay slang works. Explain it to us. He's not a fish. There's nothing fishy about him. It's fishy. The whole thing is fishy. All right. Call us up right now.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, we're talking Jussie Smollett this morning. Now, we're asking, is his story still sounding a little fishy?

Oh, my God. Or is he just not guilty? He says he's not guilty. He says he didn't do anything wrong. So did Donald Trump. So did R. Kelly. And according to his attorneys, he's saying that he didn't even do community service. There was no deal.

He did community service. He did two days, they said. And he forfeited his $10,000. Nobody's just going to give the government $10,000 for nothing. Here's the thing. Jussie Smollett was smart in taking the deal. Because why go to court and embarrass yourself any further? True.

All right. Police officers say they had a lot of evidence to show he committed this crime, but now he took the deferred prosecution deal, a lot of the case will be sealed, and now he can just sit back and let the court of public opinion argue amongst themselves on whether he is guilty or not. But if I'm a betting man, all right, I'm going to bet that he was absolutely positively guilty. Why else would the mayor be upset? Why else would police officers be upset? They were blindsided. He called you on the back line. I mean, the bat line.

When he called you, what did he say about this whole case? Because he called you. To be honest with you, I don't even really remember. You don't remember? I wasn't the only person on the phone call. I mean, he was talking. I just, you know, it's just one of those times when you... Was it a conference call? See, this is my thing. I don't like talking to people,

and I know that they're just trying to manipulate me to believe what it is they want me to believe. They're trying to convince me of something, because I'm one of those believers. I'm one of those people that believe that the truth doesn't need no defense. It just needs witnesses. So, you know, once you tell your story, you just leave it there, you know? But the thing with Jussie is that his story just never added up from the beginning.

You know what I'm saying? It never did. I'm not one to side with police officers, but I'm one to side with what's right. And I just feel like, yo, police officers did have a lot of evidence against him. And I'm honestly happy for Jussie that he didn't have to go to court and have all this evidence revealed because that could have created irreparable damage. At least now, if he just learns how to shut the F up, you know what I mean? If he learns how to shut the F up, then he can continue on with his career.

Because like I said, people are just going to sit around and argue amongst themselves on whether he's guilty or not, like we're doing right now on this damn radio. The story had kind of died down already, too. All he had to do was just say, thank you guys for praying for me. You know, I appreciate it. Now it's healing time. And keep it moving. Nobody would have me. I appreciate it. Now it's healing time. Keep it moving. Nobody would have said anything else.

You said, now it's healing time. Now it's healing time. And even watch what your lawyers say. I don't like when Jussie's lawyers are saying things like there was no deal when they have a deferred prosecution deal that they're showing us. You know what I'm saying? And I also... Well, still, they can't show us anything. Well, I don't know, man. Listen, if you want

to believe Jussie, cool. If you don't believe Jussie, cool. Just know that some things are, and what is today, all his charges got dropped. So if you want to put hashtag believe Bussie, believe Bussie. Bussie? What's that?

I want to see you. I'll show you when you get back. Okay. All right. Well, let's get to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Sean. Hey, Sean, we're talking Jussie Smollett.

What do you think? Man, I think regardless of the answer or not, I'd hire him just because we accept people to go to prison and we got to, you know, hire him. I expect for the same respect to be given now. What? Do you think he's fishy? Do you think he's guilty? What do you think? I mean, honestly,

yeah, I think he's guilty. 100%. He's guilty. He needs to come out and say it, be 100 with it. And I think his job will be more successful, honestly. It's too guilty. He needs to come out and say it, be 100% with it. And I think his job is to be more successful, honestly. It's too late now for him to come out and say that he's guilty. It's too late. He beat the case. Move on. He's not going to be like, I was guilty. All right. Well, thank you. Unless he just wanted to do that for his own spirit, you know what I'm saying?

For his own energy. You can put it in his book. Hello, who's this? I don't know what that B word was about to be. She was about to say. He can put it in his book. Hello, who's this? I don't know what that B word was about to be. She was about to say. He can put it in his book. He can put it in his book. I was like, what?

You don't care about Envy. Talking to Jesse Smollett. Hey, look. Before we get on with Jesse Smollett, let me say something about y'all. I'm glad y'all ain't doing no gay references today. Thank you, Charlamagne.

What? For keeping quiet on that stuff. Keep yourself manly. Not that gay stuff, y'all. Oh, my God. I'm about to tweet out Believe Bussy right now just for you. All right? No, don't do that J stuff, y'all. I'm about to tweet out Believe Bussy right now just for you. Alright?

Nah, don't do that. He did it, though. He set it up and I'm like, Angela Lee, somebody need, Angela Lee, somebody need to be My name is Yee, Angela Yee. Hey, man, I got some gum in my mouth. That's why I be making people spit they gum out.

That's all you got in your mouth this morning? Whoa. There you go, Charlotte. Hey, Charlotte, I done been in penitentiary. We don't play that mess, man. I don't think you never been locked up. All the crap you say you sold and all the real dudes you been around. I know y'all ain't talk like that. You guys, this conversation's going left.

All right? We're trying to talk about Jussie Smollett. I don't know what just happened. We started talking about real estate. Charlotte may be lockedett. I don't know what just happened. We're trying to talk about real estate, Charlamagne being locked up. Charlamagne always go left. But no, I think he set it up like that. And if he not being prosecuted, I don't want to see nobody go to jail unless they deserve it. But he set it up.

And if he didn't, somebody else need to be prosecuted for attacking this man. Right. You know what I'm saying? Someone did something. All right, man. Someone did something. Yeah, peace. Oh, my goodness.

800-585-1051. We're talking Jussie Smollett. Call us up. Do you think he's guilty? Do you think he's innocent? What do you think? It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking Jussie Smollett. Now, if you haven't heard, what happened with Jussie Smollett, Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking Jussie Smollett. Now, if you haven't heard, what happened with Jussie Smollett, Yee? Well, they had all the charges dropped against him. So he says he's an innocent man. He didn't do anything wrong.

Oh, listen, man. What's the question we're asking? We're asking, what do you think now? Do you still find him guilty? Do you think he's not guilty? What do you think? It doesn't matter what we think. Jussie took his deferred prosecution deal and his charges got dropped. I never believed

him from the beginning, but who cares what we believe? You know, it is what it is. And what it is right now is that his charges got dropped. He took a deferred prosecution deal. Parts of the case will be sealed and we'll never really find out what truly happened in this situation. And now we can just argue amongst

ourselves on whether he is guilty or not. I think it does matter. The way people but i'm not i think it does matter i'm not the way people look at him i think it does matter i think it matters the way people look at him i mean he is an actor he's somebody in in the hollywood lights and people look at him people will go to his see his movies and his shows so i think it does matter the way people look at him but this is my point it's like we're arguing amongst ourselves so whether i think he's guilty you think he's guilty, it really doesn't matter unless we're arguing amongst ourselves. Because all of these executives in Hollywood, if some may think he's guilty, some may think he's not guilty. That's what's going to determine whether or not he gets more work or not.

All right, well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Morning, A.V. What's up? Hey, what's up, Wayne? What do you think about Jussie Smollett? What up, Dwayne? How you doing, my brother?

What's up, my brother? What's up, Yee? What up, Dwayne? Yeah you doing, my brother? What's up, my brother? What's up, Yee? What up, Dwayne? Yeah, I'm here. I think he's guilty as hell, man. I think he's guilty. But I 110% agree with DJ Envy, where if he just come out of the box and say,

Hey, listen, man, I was wrong for this. Be honest. Like, honesty is the best policy. But Charlotte may always say, no one cares about the truth of a lie. It's. Like, honesty is the best policy. But Charlamagne always say, no one cares about the truth of a lie. It's more entertaining. But come on, man. All you got to do is tell the truth.

I admit you're wrong. I feel like your career, it will reflect better in your career. That man gains absolutely nothing from telling the truth right now except for, you know, creating good karma around himself. I think, yeah,

he should tell the truth because it seems like he just continues to lie. Like the fact they said there's no deal. We all know that he had to do community service and he gave $10,000.

His lawyer said that. So, I mean, even though you are responsible for what your lawyer said, I don't know why his lawyer would say there's no deal when they're clearly putting out the details

of the deferred prosecution deal. So that's just stupid. I don't understand. Right. Well, hello, who's this? Hey, this is Kevin from Texas. How are you? Hey, Kevin from Texas. What's going on?

Hey, man, I don't think you're the innocent, man. I feel like nothing's changed just because he got relieved of his charges. That doesn't change the actual status of what he did. Does that make you

look at him differently now? Does that make you look at his work differently? I just, I feel glad that he's relieved of his charges, but I feel like he should maybe

get a second chance. I don't think we should just cancel him, but at the same time, we shouldn't trust what he's got to his charges, but I feel like he should maybe get a second chance. I don't think we should just cancel him. But at the same time, we shouldn't trust what he's got to actually say just because he got relieved. Y'all keep saying this. Who canceled him? Nobody canceled Jussie.

Jussie on Empire right now. They wrote him off of Empire. We keep having this conversation about people being canceled. I ain't seen nobody not be around yet. Who would have thought they wrote him off of Empire? Black Twitter canceled him, though. Man, you believe that if you want to. Black Twitter,

listen, stop believing that. Like, it's just fake outrage. Like, everybody be hyped about something one day, and then the next day, they be moved on to something else. Ain't nobody getting canceled. 800-585-1051. We're talking Jussie Smollett.

Do you think he's guilty? Do you think he's innocent? Do you think he's gonna remain canceled? Charlamagne doesn't think he's canceled. We'll take your calls. Let's talk, Jesse, when we come back. He's never been canceled. He's on Empire right now. Now, when Empire get canceled, he'll get canceled along with Empire. Okay, well, we'll take your calls when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne, the God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're talking Jesse Smollett. If you just joined us, you just want to give people the details of what happened yesterday. Yes, Jesse Smollett, all the charges against him have been dropped. So give people the details of what happened yesterday? Yes, Jussie Smollett. All the charges against him have been dropped. So he is scot-free now, except for the fact that they're still investigating him for the hate mail that

they believe he sent to himself. Well, we gotta stop saying that the charges got dropped as if he was exonerated. You know what I'm saying? Like, it was a deferred prosecution deal. Well, that's what they're saying. They're saying all of those charges have been dropped. That's what his attorney said. But he had to do community service. He forfeited his $10,000 bond to the state. That's not what happens when your charges get dropped.

He said he didn't do, his lawyer said that was not community service. That was volunteer work he did. Okay. All right, my guy. They're playing with words. It seems like they just continue to lie to the people. I don't like it, man. Just be honest.

Look, thank you guys for praying for me. I'm going to get back to work now. Keep it moving. That's it. You didn't have to say nothing else. Thank you guys for praying with me. I'm going to get back to work now. Keep it moving. That's it. I didn't have to say nothing else. Thank you guys for praying with me. Now everybody get up off your knees. Unless you want to stay there and have a good time.

Here we go. See, you always go too far, man. Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? This is Nikki. Nikki, good morning. We're talking Jesse Smollett. What do you think?

Yes, he is definitely guilty. And I would not hire him. And the worst part is people think that he's actually innocent. And I would rather them just say, oh, he got away with something. But that's the part that bothers me is people actually believe his story. Even if it would just be like, he lucked up. He lucked up. Yeah, he lucked up.

And that's the only good thing. That's the only smart thing he did throughout this whole process was get good lawyers. But he absolutely did this stuff. Okay. She has no doubt. No doubt. I mean, it only makes sense. It's only.

I don't expect him to just come out and say, okay, I messed up. I messed up. But I do expect other people, our community to say, yeah, we believe he did this, but he got away with it and get on him, you know? That's fine. But I cannot stand people saying he's innocent. I mean, it's the same thing with OJ. You know what I'm saying? Exactly. You know he did it, but you're happy

he beat the system. We all know OJ did it. The glove didn't fit. You must have quit. We don't know if Jussie did it either. Yes, we do, Charmaine. No, we don't. We weren't there. We know what either. Yes, we do, Charlamagne. No, we don't. We weren't there. We know what makes sense, okay? If that makes sense. Nigerians beat them.

I'm Nigerian, by the way. And there's no way these Nigerian boys coming out at 40 below zero to do what they did. For what? Now, listen. You said you're Nigerian. So hearing that some Nigerians were part of a scam is not a stretch. Come on now. You're a fool. Stop this. She's like, leave not a stretch. Come on now. You're a fool.

She's like, leave me alone. Stop this right now. But not in that kind of weather. Not in that kind of weather. No, it's too cold. Oh, is it too cold to scam? It was really cold. You haven't met a Nigerian from Brooklyn, have you?

It's pretty cold here in the winter. All right, well, thank you, Mama. Now, what's the moral of the story, guys? The moral of the story to me is the worst part of this situation is we're not going to ever be able to have a real conversation about why someone would stage this kind of hate crime. You know what I'm saying? Because I still think that getting to the psychology of that is very interesting. It's just this whole era that we live in where everybody needs attention by any means. That's a different conversation I guess we'll never get to have.

But I'm sure in this era, we'll get another chance. The moral of the story is, when you tell a lie and you get away with it, just keep it going. Just keep it going. Just be quiet. The moral of the story is, hashtag believe Bussie. Oh my goodness, man. What is Bussie? Shut up. Alright, Evie, got rumors on the way? Let's talk about

Wendy Williams. You know, according to the Daily Mail, she was found drunk and rushed to the hospital. We'll tell you what happened. Yo, how is the Daily Mail finding all this information? They have some type of inside scoop. Somebody on the inside is talking. All right, we'll get to that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk Wendy Williams. She's spilling the tea.

This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, this is sad. Wendy Williams has relapsed. They said that she was taken to a hospital after she checked herself out of her sober living home. This happened on Monday afternoon, according to Daily Mail. They said she was very drunk. She disappeared from the studio. She was found drunk, taken to the hospital.

That's where they gave her that banana bag, which is the bag of IV fluids, which helps clear your system and sober them up. So she did show up for work on Tuesday morning, but obviously she's still torn up over the rumors that look to be true, that her husband, Kevin Hunter, had a baby with his mistress, Sharina Hudson. They are saying that baby girl was born last week and that Wendy is considering divorcing Kevin. She's very distraught. She even took off her

wedding ring, but she did put it back on for television and did the same thing again yesterday. Hey man, we're hoping for the best for Wendy Williams, but I don't see how y'all can tune in to Wendy's show every day knowing that she's lying to y'all. But that's the thing. Do we really know that's Kev's baby? Like, how do we know? He's not on the birth certificate.

There was no DNA test. Are we just assuming and baby? Like, how do we know? He's not on a birth certificate. There was no DNA test. Are we just assuming and making the situation worse, or do we know? I don't know anything about that, but I know that a woman who has built her career off being real is absolutely being a total fraud right now. All to cover up for the alleged foulness of that trash-ass Negro she calls her husband, Kelvin Hunter. Well, she's clearly going through some mental trauma, though. However she's processing it, we can't tell her this is what you need to do. She needs to really

get some serious help. I'm just saying, people are going to sit back and just watch Kelvin suck the life out of Wendy. Like, we know this is not going to... Who is Kelvin? Kelvin Hunter.

Oh, Kevin. Kelvin is his name. Like, we know this is not going to end well, but nobody's going to try to stage some type of intervention. Just going to watch her fade away. Well, her husband

has remained on set as she's filming her show, even in spite of everything that's been going on. They said there's no overt signs of hostility on set. The vibe is awkward for other people, but they still are acting, I guess, even normal. The fact that Kelvin went to Philly thinking he could escape the media to have that baby lets me know he has no idea what era we are living in. But what do I expect?

I don't expect more from a damn near 50-year-old man who wears big-ass logos on everything. What logo? Any 50-year-old man who wears a matching Supreme Jean outfit with the Supreme logos on everything and colorful Timbs either just came home from a 20-year bid or they just clearly have no clue what era we in. I saw you had an Effendi outfit the other day.

Big-ass logos. My goodness. Nobody does that no more. Who wants to walk around looking like a goddamn race car? Alright, now Tamar Braxton in the meantime has been having some issues herself. She's actually broken up with her boyfriend

and she also got into an argument with her sisters because they did not give her a birthday party or do the things that I guess she wanted them to do. Now she had posted, I'm single ready to mingle though. And then she went off on her sisters for not going hard for her birthday everybody else's birthday we make a big deal out of it is it's at least a balloon an array of gifts more than one card when there's 40,000

Braxton's walking around here like where's Waldo I got this pair of sunglasses and a birthday card happy birthday bitch we're not done yet, though. This is the whole celebration. You don't like the glasses? That's the music I play. Don't miss your pleasure. You ain't like the glasses? I give out Gucci bags for Christmas. This is going on around.

Like, this is not a birthday celebration for me. This is some straight foul bulls**t that nobody put no thought into. But you ain't like the glasses, too? Yeah, I want to see these glasses. Who was that in the background? That was hilarious. You ain't like the glasses?

You ain't like the glasses? Whoever bought them glasses was mad. Like, I got you some nice glasses. I was that in the background? That was hilarious. You ain't like the glasses? Whoever bought them glasses was mad. Like, I got you some nice glasses. I'm not mad at her for feeling that way. I get it, though. No, I understand. Remember, she's single now, so her man is not buying her anything. So her family that she supports and probably spoils should come and get her something nice for her birthday.

I ain't mad at that. But you're bugging if you think that people... They said we're not done yet. But you're bugging if you think people are going to treat you the way that you treat people When you do things for people, don't expect for them to do The exact same thing in return They do what they can or they do what they want to do And you should appreciate that

But she said thoughtful, she didn't feel like they were being thoughtful But you ain't like the glasses, I put thought into these glasses Tamar I appreciate things like glasses as a present By the way, I just want to put that out there Alright, now Conor McGreg, there are allegations now that he was arrested in January as part of a sexual assault investigation. That's from an incident that happened at a hotel in Dublin, Ireland. This is according to The New York Times.

He was released from custody. He was not charged with a crime, but they said officials are still investigating the case. Now, Conor McGregor's spokesperson has issued a statement. This story has been circulating for some time and it's unclear why it's being reported now. They also said that his retirement tweet had nothing to do with this report about his arrest. They said it's not related at all.

It's absolutely false. Should he fight in the future, it must be in an environment where the fighters are respected for their value, their skill, their hard work, and their dedication to the sport. So he retired, but I guess a statement like that means maybe he's not really retired. We don't know what else happened with this alleged situation that happened in Dublin, Ireland,

but I guess we'll keep you updated on that. Now, Bobby Schmurder is saying that he has no plans to join Meek Mill in the fight for criminal justice reform. He called into Sirius XM and spoke with Swaggy C about aligning himself with Meek Mill and maybe, you know, working for criminal justice reform, being that I'm sure people would love to hear what he has to say about it and his thoughts, but here's what he responded. I respect what he's doing.

I can't do it, though. You understand? I can talk to the kids, but I ain't about to be sitting here protesting and politicking for no motherfucking cops, because them motherfuckers don't care. They've been killing motherfuckers around the camp. I love what Martin Luther King did, but I respect him because I cops because them motherfuckers don't care. They've been killing motherfuckers around the camp. I love what Martin Luther King did, but I

respect him because I couldn't do it. I don't think Bobby Smurda understood the question. No. Meek Mill is not out here protesting on

behalf of the cops. He's protesting on behalf of people who are getting unjust sentences at the hands of the police. Well, he's saying he's not politicking for the

cops because the cops just don't care and that they've been killing people since Rodney King. But what that got not politicking for the cops because the cops just don't care and that they've been killing people since Rodney King. But what that got to do with what Meek's doing? I don't know. I guess he doesn't even want to interact with the unfair, what he says is the unfair justice system. That's what Meek's doing.

Meek is protesting against that justice system. I know. He said he respects what Meek is doing. He's just not trying to be out there like that, I guess. And I'm sure it's hard for him to even think about that right now while he's locked up. Maybe I misunderstood the question. I thought that you,

No, you heard it right. I thought they were saying, is Bobby going to go out there and help Meek with championing for prison reform? Yeah, he's not doing that is what he's saying. Yeah, and that I'm saying

that has nothing to do with the police. Yeah. I don't get it. I'm confused. Yeah, I guess it starts with the police. I guess it starts

with the police arresting you and then throwing you in jail. He made it seem like he was going to support the police, but he answered wrong. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. No problem, fam. Oh, you good?

Yeah, I'm good. No coat? All right. Charlemagne. Yes. Who you giving that down to? For everybody out there that's considering getting a DUI this week or this weekend. No one wants to do that.

We have a potential life hack for you. Yes. All right. Yeah. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.

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

On April 5th, just say the word Shazam, and you'll find out. Shazam is the ultimate wish fulfillment movie about a kid named Billy Batson who transforms into a superhero with just one word, Shazam, in theaters April 5th. Right now you want some real donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel like you need to be a donkey man, hit it with the heel. Did she get donkey in the name, please, Dylan?

Absolutely. I have become Donkey of the Day. At the Breakfast Club, bitches. You're a donkey. Yeah, Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, March 27th goes to a South Carolina man named Efren Mencia Ramirez. Now, this is embarrassing because this man is from my home state, South Carolina.

Drop one of Clues bombs for South Carolina, damn it. All right. This man is from the upstate of South Carolina, though. Spartanburg, age 6'4". Now, one thing I don't think we stress enough anymore is don't drink and drive. When I was growing up, it seems like anti-drunk driving campaigns were more of a thing. I don't see much of that anymore. Am I tripping?

Yeah, there was Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Yeah. You still see it a lot, though was Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Yeah. You still see it a lot, though. You still see it a lot. It seems like now they've been replaced with Don't Text and Drive campaigns. True. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even though we don't see the campaigns, people are still out here committing that crime of drunk driving.

Now, there is really no way to finesse your way out of a DUI situation when officers notice your car speeding and swerving into other lanes because you've had too much to drink. They already know when they pull you over, you're probably going to be drunk, all right? Now, once they hit you with one of those field sobriety tests, whether it's the walk and turn or the one-leg stand or the hokey pokey or saying the alphabet backwards, which I never understood. That's hard to do sober.

Who the hell can say the alphabet backwards? Try it, Yee. Z-Y-X-W-V-U-T-S-R-Q-E-O-N-M-L. Yeah. No. What did I miss? I don't know. You sound drunk. Listen, I don't care how drunk or sober you are saying, okay,

how drunk or sober you are, saying the alphabet backwards is damn, damn possible. I don't even know if you did it correctly just now. You guys have to let me know. I don't even know if you did it correctly just now. You guys have to let me know. I really don't know if she did it correctly just now. Please tweet me and let me know if I did that right. I don't know. Because I'm not drunk.

Me neither. You do it. Z. Y. That's it. That's all I got. That's all you got? That's literally all I got.

Try it, Envy. Oh, forget that. Z. Y. X. W. V. U. Try it, Envy. Oh, forget that. Z-Y-X-V-T-Q-R-S-T-U-P-W-X-N-L-K. Take them both to jail. I can't do it. I don't know any tricks to not look drunk when I'm wasted.

The only encounter I've ever had with police when I was drunk in a car was when I was in the backseat, pissy drunk, and cops made us get out to search the car. All right. When you really drunk, ain't no cover up. It is what it is. Okay. Well, my South Carolina brethren, Efren, he tried to mask his drunkenness. Literally. Let's go to WPTW CBS 13 for the report, please. Upstate authorities say a man sprayed Axe body spray in his mouth to cover the smell of alcohol as deputies approached him during a traffic stop. Spartanburg County deputies stopped this man, 49-year-old Efren Muncha Ramirez, on Saturday night. They say he sped past a deputy on Interstate 85 and swerved into another lane. A report said he had a 12-pack of beer on the floor and 10 of the beers were empty.

He also had an open bottle between his legs. He faced his charges, including driving under the influence. Now, Axe is a body spray, a body wash, a deodorant, a shampoo, but there is no Axe mouthwash, okay? I Googled just to make sure, all right, that this isn't a life hack I wasn't aware of. Now, I understand you panicked, thought you could throw the cops off, but let me tell you something. Whenever somebody reeks of some type of perfume or cologne, they are trying to hide something.

All right, it could be a weed smell, cigarette smell, in this case alcohol. Whenever you pull up on somebody and they reek of a fragrance, they are trying to throw you off from some other fragrance. Now, the reason this man is getting donkier today is not because he put the Axe body spray on to cover up the alcohol smell, but what is the point of trying to cover up the alcohol smell when all the evidence the police are looking for is in your car and all over your lap? Listen to this part of the report. He had a 12-pack of beer on the floor and 10 of the beers were empty.

He also had an open bottle between his legs. Okay. Efren tested at nearly double the legal limit for drunk driving after failing several field sobriety tests. I don't even see the point of the field sobriety test other than the police just wanted to entertain themselves and see if

he could do the alphabet backwards. He was charged with DUI, driving without a valid license and having no proof of insurance. What is the moral of the story here, ladies and gentlemen? The same moral that has always been and the same moral that we don't speak on enough. Don't drink and drive, kids, all right?

There's nothing else to discuss here, folks. Some donkey of the days just sell themselves. Please give Efren Mencia Ramirez the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. You are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. You know what they used to say?

You know what they used to say? Put pennies in your mouth. Pennies? Yeah, they used to say? You know what they used to say? Put pennies in your mouth. Pennies? Yeah, they used to say pennies or something like that. And if you had to blow in a... That's just disgusting. A word? As they said.

Nasty pennies in my mouth. You like small brown things in your mouth? That would be copper. Pennies are brown. I just asked him your question. He still ain't answer though. On lip service, Bridget Kelly said that butt tastes like pennies. All right.

Okay. You know what? I'm going to Human Resources after this. You flirt with me too much. And I'm married. I'm a married man. You just failed her sobriety test. I just want you to know that.

I failed? Why? Butt tastes like pennies. I'm not having this conversation with you. I'm not even going to go with you. I can see why it would taste like copper. As a man who's tasted butt and pennies, no. Why have you tasted pennies, no.

Why have you tasted pennies? I don't know. I've put coins in my mouth before. Why? I ain't never put coins in your mouth. I don't know. No, why would I do that? That's dirty and disgusting. And what guy's butt have you tasted?

Why I got to be a guy's butt? You see, you just eat. You're about to eat a penny? What are you doing? You just always tell on yourself. Are you about to eat a penny? Just making sure. He really licked it.

That's disgusting. You know how nasty and dirty money is? I haven't done it in a while. I just needed to make sure. I don't like to just say things to Sam. I'm sitting here saying a penny don't taste like butt. I had to make sure. You have syphilis.

Does it taste like butt? He really put a penny in his mouth. That's so nasty. You know what? That penny came out of someone's butt. Not any butt. You know what happens if you swallow a penny? It comes right back out.

You guys are disgusting. All right. Those pennies have been on the floor. It's been on the table. I can't believe you did that. I'm rubbing my tongue all over it. That's really nasty. My goodness.

All right. Ask Ye is next. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, call Ye right now. 800-585-1051. I advise you don't put no pennies in your mouth. Hey, I just want to tell anybody who comes into the Breakfast Club studio, don't suck on the pennies in the white tears mug because that's the penny I had in my mouth.

My goodness. All right. Call us right now if you need advice. Call Ye now. This is disgusting. It's the Breakfast Club. This guy got a problem. Come on.

He eats anything. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee. 800-585-1051.

If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, you can call Yee right now. Hello, who's this? Katie. Hey, Katie. What's your question for Yeezy? I have been with my boyfriend for 10 years. We've been engaged for like five. And I just found out yesterday that he took out a $20,000 personal loan and didn't tell me. account and he thinks I'm overreacting on my trust being tested on him because that's our financial

decisions that I was left out of and he thinks I'm overreacting and being mad. So you guys have a joint account? Yeah everything is joint. So why would he do that without consulting with you? What's the reason for it and why did he need to take that loan out for? We're in some credit card debt and he got this plan in his head and it's all for the better of our future and he's just saying I don't see it and I'm like no that's something we should have sat down together, looked

at all the numbers and made that decision together. You shouldn't have just hit submit because you felt like it. Yeah and you know finances are the number one people, number one reason that people do end up getting divorced because we're not on the same page financially. And things like that are important for him to tell you. And he needs to acknowledge that, yes, these are decisions that we have to make together.

I at least have to come to you and let you know this is my plan because, A, you're going to find out anyway. And B, that's your money and your credit as well. Yeah. So he doesn't see it that way. So now what is he saying about moving forward? Would he do something like that again? He's like, well, you can't claim I'm doing things that I haven't already done. And I'm like, well, I mean, I don't know.

Like, if you're willing to hit submit on something like that without talking to me first, I don't really know what you're willing to do. And how would he feel if you did the same thing? No. The issue here is this. Yes, you can plan something and you can go for it. But when you're part of a partnership, because you guys are partners, you have to discuss those things with your partner. And if you're supposed to be in each other's lives like that, and it affects you too, then he has to tell you.

Because this is not just about him. When you decide to be in a relationship, get married, you guys are engaged. What he does financially affects you. And if this is something that's important to you, he needs to acknowledge that and respect that. Okay. So even if he doesn't think that it's necessary to tell you, he shouldn't be doing these things

and not bringing it up. These are group decisions. These are decisions that y'all make for your future together. He can't make decisions for your future by himself. Yeah.

He's right. He's absolutely positively right. There's no possible way, even if it was to benefit both of you guys, he should have let you know whatever he's doing. If he's taking $10,000 out, if he's taking $5,000 out, it affects you.

He should definitely be telling you, you need to have that conversation. He's probably looking at it like, I'm just trying to better us, or I'm just doing it for us, but he doesn't realize it's foul. He didn't tell you. Yeah. Like, I feel disrespected. Right. Yeah. As you know, and that's a huge decision, and you don't want to be left out of things like that. It's not fair. Okay. Yeah. As you know, and that's a huge decision and you don't want to be left out of things like that. It's not fair.

Okay. Alright. So good luck to you guys though, Katie. I just hope you guys resolve this so that you can move forward. It's not a deal breaker as long as he can understand how important it is to you. Where you from, Katie? I'm originally from New York. Oh, you live in New York now?

No, but I miss it. I'm a little homesick for real pizza and bagels. All right. Don't play with our money, right, Katie? Don't play with our money. Yeah. Because you know what you can do, Katie? If you really want him to feel it and learn, you go to one of those department stores like Neiman Marcus or Macy's,

and you buy something like $5,000 that you can return and just let him see it and be like, well, what was this? And then you said, that's exactly how I feel, but at least you can return yours. But make sure they got a good return policy if you do that. You tell them, girl. Ow. Good advice. At least try to have that conversation first, though,

before you go extreme. All right, good luck, Katie. Thank you. All right, ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, call Yee now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

I know when that hotline bling. That can only mean one thing. Ever since I left the city. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this?

Anonymous. Okay, Anonymous. Why you sound so mad? I'm not mad. I'm just, my head is in a million different places. Okay, what's the matter? Talk to us. Alright. So y'all were just talking this morning about when somebody comes home reeking of another perfume or

cologne, you know they're trying to throw you off a scent, yes? Yes, yes yes okay okay 19 years we're together and in the pit of my stomach i know i mean in the beginning there was some crossover time with like an ex and there was always you know in the first five years i was always digging through his phone and looking for stuff and feeling like he was lying and feeling like he was up to something and so cut to 19 years and two kids later, I tell my friends, oh, if he thinks he needs somebody to make him feel like a man, let him have a jump off, let him do that, whatever.

So you're okay with that? Is what you're saying, you're okay with him cheating? I thought I was. And then, so he came home the other night reeking of another man's cologne. And I'm like, don't laugh. Don't laugh. Because in the pit of my stomach, I've always felt like he might have tendencies.

Okay. And all my friends are always like, don't, don't. He's not gay. Stop saying that. Stop saying that. I've talked to him. I make jokes with him. He's like, I'm not, he's not gay. Stop saying that. Stop saying that. I've talked to him. I make jokes with him. He's like, I'm not gay.

I'm from a place like I, when I was a kid, I watched people literally be stoned to death just for being gay. Like that's, don't say that to me. It's offensive. So I asked him about it. I was so mad. I was like, something is not right. But also, wait, I had called him.

He came home late from work and And I called him, and he answered. And there's this big queen that he works with. This big what? He's all in the back. Queen. That's not politically correct, right? This gay guy that he works with. And he's all in the background.

Oh, hey. And I'm like, I thought you didn't work there anymore. And he's like, oh, no, I work here. And I was like, well, since when? Oh, I've been here the whole time. Okay, so basically you think he's cheating with a gay guy from his job. I do. And my heart hurts so much.

And I'm, like, shocked because I'm like, oh, I mean, I don't know what it is. I don't know if it's my ego. I don't know if it's, like, you know, I guess. She don't even know if nothing's happening. I know this sounds wrong, but I feel like if it was another girl or a woman, I don't think it would hurt as much. Okay. Because you probably feel like all this time he hasn't been attracted to you, and that might be part of what it is. It is an ego thing

where you feel like, well, all this time, I'm not even what you desired. And he's not, and it's probably something that's very difficult for somebody, well definitely is, because clearly he said where he grew up, people were getting stoned for being gay, so this is not something he's even come to terms with for himself, if he is.

You don't even know if the man's gay. If he is. Oh. Now, I'm going to assume that you've done some extra research, have you? I mean, yeah. I started looking through his phone. Did you find anything? You need to look through his drawers.

Stop it. That's where all the evidence is. Why, Charlamagne? Why his drawers? Why are you laughing? Why is this happening? Like his drawers or like the drawers like his underwear? What did you find? What did you find when you went through his phone?

I mean, really nothing. Like nothing. See what I'm saying? Working yourself up over nothing. I mean, come on. He's nothing, but he's going to erase that. Come on. Here's the thing, too. Here's part B of this whole thing. I don't really know if I want to even open up a can of worms because in my past, I have not necessarily been 100% faithful in the full 19 years myself.

Right. It's been a long time that you guys have been together and you said you had issues already in the beginning. Yeah. It's been a long time. And I'm like, I don't. Here's the thing. Are you planning to stay with him? Do you want to stay with him?

I mean, we have a family. Like, we have a family. We have a house. We have a life together. And he doesn't... Are you guys happy together, aside from what you think? Is everything smooth? Yes. I mean, he drives me crazy, but that's my best friend, too.

Right. Well, if you love him and that's your best friend, I think you need to create a safe environment for him also so that if there's things that he's struggling with himself to come to terms with, you're not making fun of him

or accusing him of being gay and making jokes about it because that's going to make it even harder for him to ever be honest. Right. I want to know what kind of cologne he be coming home smelling like.

I mean, not the cologne that he normally wears. And it was like, but wait, I didn't even tell you. And so the excuse was, oh, my boss's son died. And he used to wear this cologne and everybody's smelling it around the office. And so I was like, wait. Yeah, it's very hard to be lied to like that. It sounds a little ridiculous. I suggest that you keep the lines of communication open between you guys

and do your research and investigation and pay extra careful attention to what he has going on so you can find out for yourself what's really happening. Okay, because you do love him. You do say that's your best friend. You guys do have a family together. So no matter what happens, you're going to have to learn how to deal with him and also understand how painful and difficult it can be for him to even say who he really is to himself. I mean, I can't be Kris Jenner somewhere down the future.

Like, that's not me. Right. And that's why it's important for you to find out the truth, because you don't want to be in a situation that's not beneficial for you either. And that's not great for you. So the best thing is for the truth at some point to come out and to make you have that space for him to be able to be truthful. Yeah. All right.

Well, keep us updated. We would love to hear how this turns out, Anonymous. Yeah. If the man comes home smelling like butt body spray, please let us know. Okay? My goodness. Charlamagne. Yes.

Wait. What is butt body spray? It's what he sprays. It's me and Envy's cologne. Don't put me in this one. Is he one of the family? You and Charlamagne? Is that what's going on?

Yes, he is. It's me and Envy's cologne. Charlamagne, can you send him his Instagram? It's strong enough for a man with pH balanced for another man. But I do wish you the most luck and please update us

and let us know. Good luck, Mama. All right. Geesh. Get it. What am I doing? Oh, ask E. 800-585-

That's right, just get it. That's what I call just get it. Don't stop. Get it, get it. Get it, get it. Don't stop. All right, if you need advice, relationship advice, call E right now. Now we got rumors on the way, E.

Yes, we are going to talk about Soulja Boy. Tell him why are people so angry at him. We'll tell you what's taking four months or more. Alright, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Everybody, it's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We

are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk the movie Us. Listen up. It's talk the movie Us. 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. Well, people are now scared to go to where the movie Us was filmed on the boardwalk at Santa Cruz. And therefore, I guess, you know, people won't be going on vacation there. It's going to hurt tourism. I feel like people would go there more

just to go to that boardwalk, to go inside of that house of mirrors and everything. I love that kind of realness. I love when they do horror movies in real places like that

and then when you see them in real life, you get shook. That happened to me when I was on the highway and I saw Amityville. Ain't Amityville in Queens or something like that?

I was in Long Island. Long Island. Somewhere over there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, oh shoot, turn around. I'm going the highway and I saw Amityville. Ain't Amityville in Queens or something like that? I was in Long Island. Long Island. Somewhere over there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, oh, shoot, turn around. I'm going the wrong way. And they filmed that movie. What was it called?

Don't Talk in Detroit. Also, has anybody seen that movie? You don't be watching horror movies. It disappoints me. I don't pay people. They tipped a lot in Jersey, too, in West Milford, in the Lake Area. I don't know if it was a Freddie or Jason movie. They taped one of those movies over there too.

Yeah, so I would think a lot of people now are going to go to these haunted attractions at Santa Cruz. You think they're hoping something happens to them? Yeah. Like, I hope that I can meet my... That just adds a different level of realness to the film. So you should feel like that. That shouldn't stop you from going there because you should realize

it's just a movie, guys. Right. Absolutely. Alright, now let's talk about Issa Rae on the cover of Essence Magazine. That shouldn't stop you from going there because you should realize it's just a movie, guys. Right. Absolutely. All right. Now, let's talk about Issa Rae on the cover of Essence magazine. People are now saying she might be engaged because she looks like she's wearing an engagement ring. So that mystery ring is what's making people really discuss what's going on. Why are y'all studying people's hands like that? Well, it's right on the cover of the magazine.

You can see it. I saw that magazine cover and I thought it looked amazing, but I ain't go study her hands. You don't have to study it. It's right there front and center. Let me see. Here you go. Charlamagne. Now, also, happy birthday to Diana Ross. It was her 75th birthday yesterday. And listen to Beyonce singing happy birthday to

Diana Ross as Diddy is watching. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday Miss Ross. Happy birthday Miss Ross. Happy birthday to you. Woo woo!

Alright. You see the ring? Charlamagne? I did see the ring. It's not hidden. It's not like you gotta search for it. I didn't pay no attention. I was looking at her face. Alright. Michelle Obama's Becoming they said is on the verge of becoming the biggest selling memoir in publishing history. It sold 7 million copies worldwide in 2018.

And since New Year's, another 3 million. So now worldwide, it's at 10 million copies. Dropping a clue about Michelle Obama. You know what kind of royalty checks she's getting from that book? Amazing. Jesus Christ. That's going to be a movie. She really don't have to do nothing for the rest. I mean, she probably didn't be a movie. She really don't have to do nothing for the rest of her life.

I mean, she probably didn't before anyway, but she really don't have to do nothing for the rest of her life. All right, now people are upset. They're still waiting for their Soulja Boy product. People order Soulja Watches and other Soulja Boy branded electronics, and they still haven't received them. It's been four months. Now, remember he said that there were some issues

with people ordering too many things. They didn't have enough to send out, and they had to make more items and more merchandise. But it looks like people still haven't gotten their orders. He said he simply got more orders than expected. They're behind schedule. And the soldier watch was taken. He had all kinds of issues with, he said, his ex-cameraman hacking his site. And then he had to take it down, put up a new site.

So now, still nothing. Well, stop rushing greatness. And they said customer service emails about refunds aren't being answered either. And for everybody out there that was saying things like, you know, Soulja Boy could possibly be Jesus, and I mean me, just know that God may not come when you call, but he's always on time. Your products will be in the mail shortly. Now, some people said they ordered this stuff as a joke,

and it wasn't that expensive. That's why they did it. But one guy said, I'm still pretty mad about my order never arriving. I didn't think it was going to just not show up. Why do y'all think that's a joke and it wasn't that expensive. That's why they did it. But one guy said, I'm still pretty mad about my order never arriving. I didn't think it wasn't going to just not show up. Why do y'all think that's a joke? I don't know.

You're putting money in my pocket, so thank you. I appreciate your sense of humor. I'm laughing all the way to the bank. Absolutely. All right, now Lonzo Ball has covered up his big

Baller brand tattoo on his arm. So he's really distancing himself from that brand. He added a new tattoo over that tattoo and he posted that as well. And yeah, there's a pair of black and red dice now over that. So no more of the BBB. It's a pair of dice. And I told you before, some people are feeling like he's not going to want to work with Big Baller Brand anymore. Some people are speculating

that he might be going over to Nike. But regardless, he did cover up that tattoo. Hey, you can't quit your daddy. You can't break up with your daddy. I don't know how his father feels about all of this. You know, they did find out that one of the founders of the company did steal $1.5 million. That is true. It's weird he hasn't said anything because he says everything. So it's weird he hasn't said anything.

Who, the father? Yeah, the father. LeVar. LeVar Ball. LeVar. All right. Well,'s weird he hasn't said anything. Who, the father? Yeah, the father. LeVar. LeVar Ball. LeVar. All right, well, yeah, we'll see what happens. They did say that the other co-founder, Alan Foster, will not be on their show, Ball and the Family, moving forward.

I'm not happy about none of this because I want to see the Ball family succeed. You know, I think what they're doing is very disruptive to the sneaker industry. I would love to see more people take control of, you know, their destiny the way that the Ball family was attempting to do. And I still hope that they get it done. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee.

Today is Mariah Carey's birthday. Yes, she had a show that sold out yesterday in New York. Really? Yeah. I just saw that. I was like, how come I didn't even know about this ahead of York. Really? Yeah. I just saw that. I was like, how come I didn't even know about this ahead of time?

Really? Okay, well. At Radio City. We're going to get a joint on, one of hers in the mix, a couple of hers in the mix. So if you want to hear Mariah Carey joint,

let me know what Mariah Carey joint. Of course, the joint with Wu-Tang. Of course, the joint with probably Jadakiss, Fab and them. So let me know what you want to hear the mixes up next.
