Starting point is 00:00:00 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.

People watch the breakfast club for like news and really be tuned in, man. I don't even know what to call this breakfast club. It's like brunch. Envy. Ye.

Starting point is 00:02:19 It's a Thursday. It's a Thursday. It feels good. It's December. Did everybody pay their bills? Yeah, the bills are due December 1st, but it's not late until December 16th, mortgage and rent. So just give you that heads up. Usually that's what they say.
Starting point is 00:02:32 Now, they finally lit the Rockefeller Christmas tree last night. So that usually is the start of the Christmas season. Have you got your Christmas shopping done yet? No. No, not at all? I haven't even thought about it yet. I got everything done already. Everything is done. The kids are done. Family members are even thought about it yet. I got everything done already. Everything is done.
Starting point is 00:02:45 The kids are done. Family members are done. Everything is done. I got it all done. Damn, it's only December 2nd. Well, they said there was a shortage on a lot of the things, and it's going to be a lot harder to get a lot of the toys and a lot of the gifts. They're going to get whatever I see. Goodness gracious.
Starting point is 00:02:57 In the store. I actually like to go in the stores and go shopping as opposed to ordering things online. I know that's weird because everybody's doing shopping online, but I like to go see things in person, pick things out. Yeah. Yes. Yeah, so I did all my stuff. And then, of course, the car show is going down in Miami next week, so I'm going to be out of town a couple of days handling that.
Starting point is 00:03:19 So I was like, let me get everything done. I don't want to hear nothing. I want to make sure that the kids got their gifts, everything that they wanted. And so all my shopping is done. I'm actually want to hear nothing. I want to make sure that the kids got their gifts, everything that they wanted. And so all my shopping is done. I'm actually going to Miami today. For Art Basel. Yes, for Art Basel. And I was reading about how Art Basel has already kicked off and some of the things have been sold.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Because if you collect, do you collect art? A little bit. At all? A little bit. Yeah, so I've been trying to get more into that. I've gotten some great original pieces. But I am nowhere near on the level of what these people are buying at Art Basel. Yeah, I mean, some people are paying millions of dollars for art.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Yeah, I'm not there yet. But you never know what something will be worth. Correct. They already said on the first day there was a $20 million Picasso that was sold. And then there was a $4 million Banksy sale. Wow. Already. Wow.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Just on the first day. Yeah, and I know that, rest in peace, Virgil, he had Louis Vuitton display his new line. And I heard it was pretty amazing. And the show they put on for him was great. So rest in peace. And again, condolences to his family and friends. Now, Troy Ave will be joining us this morning. Troy Ave has a new project, God is Great, Paper Straight.
Starting point is 00:04:26 So we're going to talk to him in a little bit. And then we got front page news. What are we talking about? Oh, and I think Yandy's joining us too this morning. Oh, she is. If I'm not mistaken. Yes, Yandy. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:34 I actually have a podcast I'm doing with Coach Jesse. You know, Coach Jesse comes up here all the time to talk about health and wellness. We do a detox together. And so Yandy is actually going to come on. She's the first guest on the podcast I have with Coach Jessie. But she's got a lot of interesting things happening. She moved to Atlanta. She's going to talk about her health and everything that's happened with her mentally,
Starting point is 00:04:54 as well as spiritually, as well as physically during the pandemic. All right. Well, let's get some front page news. What are we talking about? Well, the first confirmed U.S. case of the Omicron coronavirus variant has been detected. We'll tell you where it was detected and what they are saying about travel, for the holidays,
Starting point is 00:05:12 what you need to do, booster shots, and all of that. Alright, we'll get into all 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. Let's get some front page news. Now, on Thursday Night Football, the Cowboys take on the Saints at 820.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Now what are we talking about, Yeezy? All right, well, let's talk about the first confirmed U.S. case of the Omicron coronavirus variant, not Omarion, it has been detected in California. Now Dr. Anthony Fauci had a White House news briefing where he did talk about that case. A recent case of COVID-19 among an individual in California was caused by the Omicron variant. The individual was a traveler who returned from South Africa
Starting point is 00:05:58 on November the 22nd and tested positive on November the 29th. The individual is self-quarantining and all close contacts have been contacted and all close contacts thus far have tested negative. The individual was fully vaccinated and experienced mild symptoms, which are improving at this point. Now, they're not sure how this will affect the body.
Starting point is 00:06:22 If it's worse, if it's not worse, they just know that it's a different variant, correct? Yeah, they say it's a variant of concern, by the way. They're saying it poses a very high global risk. It was first identified by scientists in South Africa and has since been detected in several countries. They're trying to see how transmissible it is, how sick it makes people, how well the vaccines work against it. So, of course, because it's a new variant, it's going to take some time to find all those things out with these studies. Now, Dr. Fauci is telling Americans they should get vaccinated, of course, and warning that the Delta variant is still a danger for us. But we don't
Starting point is 00:06:55 know enough about Omicron yet. Here's what he had to say about holiday travel and so on. We know what we need to do to protect people. Get vaccinated. If you're not already vaccinated, get boosted. If you've been vaccinated for more than six months with an mRNA or two months with J&J and all the other things we've been talking about, about getting your children vaccinated, masking in indoor congregate settings, et cetera. Wow. All right.
Starting point is 00:07:22 And he also did have a town hall. Dr. Sanjay Gupta was there as well, where they did talk about whether or not it's still safe to travel and transportation mask mandates have been extended through March, by the way. So you still have to wear those masks on airplanes, buses, trains and boats, as well as in airports and other transportation hubs. Here's what Dr. Fauci had to say about travel. I would not do anything different than we had been recommending all along, despite the fact that we have a case. And we likely will see more cases of Omicron as the weeks and the days go by.
Starting point is 00:07:54 If you have a vaccinated situation, your family's vaccinated, enjoy the holidays indoor with your family in a family setting. Many of us will have to travel during the holidays. What you do when you travel, you take care, you're prudent. Yeah, the thing that scares me is they don't know how it affects the body. If it's more contagious, if it hurts more, they don't know if the booster shot or the vaccine actually work on it, but they don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:21 What they do know, though, is the person that does have it was fully vaccinated and only had mild symptoms. So that would encourage me to continue. And I am going to go get my booster shot. Yeah, me too. I'm eligible to do that now. Yeah, me as well. Yeah, so it's not a game, but like we said, it is going to take some time for them
Starting point is 00:08:37 to find out more about the variant because it is pretty new and there's only one case that has been detected in the United States so far. All right, that is your front page news. All right, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Again, 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. I'm telling. I'm telling. Hey, what you doing, man? I'm telling. I'm calling you. club this is your time to get it off your chest whether you're mad or blessed 800-585-1051 we want to hear from you on the breakfast club hello who's this hi good morning my name is christina
Starting point is 00:09:20 hey christina get it off your chest mama all. So I work as a partner with Amazon. We do deliveries throughout the holiday season. And I am so annoyed with people that don't have house numbers on their houses. If I can't find you to get to your package, the paramedics aren't going to find you to save your life. You know what? I don't think I have a house number on my house in Detroit. I see that all the time. No numbers.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Yeah. Put your numbers. And businesses, too. Businesses, you need to put a big number on your thing. Because a lot of times when I'm Googling trying to get to places or if I'm ordering food and I
Starting point is 00:09:48 can't find, I be getting lost. It pisses me the hell off. You can't look next door at the numbers next door? I try that sometimes. You right, though.
Starting point is 00:09:55 We do try it sometimes, too. But gosh, it slows it down and makes it a little harder. You know, just make us a little easier. Put a visible house
Starting point is 00:10:02 number, please. Okay. It'll be done. I think I was doing a lot of renovations on my house, and so I just hadn't done it yet. Question, since you're an Amazon worker or Amazon partner, what is a good tip for the holidays
Starting point is 00:10:16 for Amazon workers or FedEx workers or UPS workers? What's a good tip? A work tip for them would just be to stay hydrated, stay positive. No, I mean money-wise. I mean, give them a tip. Oh, money-wise. I don't know what
Starting point is 00:10:29 Evie was talking about either. I'm not going to lie. No, I was saying like tips when they come to the door. She was like, drink water. No, they work all season. So what's a good tip?
Starting point is 00:10:36 Monetary. You know, everything is appreciated. At this point, I would say, you know, they love snacks. Leaving out bottled water,
Starting point is 00:10:43 cookies, you know, things that are easy to grab and go that they can take on their day. Now they're Santa Claus. Honestly, a simple thank you goes a long way because it's a thankless job. And they're working really hard. These drivers do anywhere from 200 to 300 stops a day.
Starting point is 00:10:58 And their trucks are full every morning and empty every night. All right. So you heard of all the UPS FedEx guys that come to my house and the garbage people. She said leave some drinks and some snacks. We call them sanitation workers. Sanitation workers. Yeah, take care of them. So I'm going to leave y'all cookies and milk, just like you said.

We know what they did to us. We gotta stop saying we don't know. We know exactly what it is. They know what this is.
Starting point is 00:15:43 They put this out there. So, at the end of the day, hundreds of variants are going to come through. Which one they're going to name, who knows, but we got to stop playing the game.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Okay, so you think they know everything about it already and they put it there? Of course they do. It was manufactured. And this is where I get a fist off
Starting point is 00:16:01 Sanjay Gupta and Fauci because these are f***ing lies. They speak lying. At the end of the day, it's infusion. They're taking the civil liberties away and we're going to be penalized for not being vaccinated going into a supermarket or things of that nature. This is where we're going. To be penalized to go in a supermarket. So who do you get your information from?

We're talking about his trial, and now we have some more information about what the men who attacked him have to say about Jussie Smollett and how he wanted them to beat him up.
Starting point is 00:18:11 All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in.
Starting point is 00:18:20 All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. Got. Got. With Angela. Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, sad news.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Jacqueline Avant, who is the wife of music executive Clarence Avant, was fatally shot in her home in Beverly Hills. She's a philanthropist, and they said that she was most known for the work that she has done in support of the UCLA International Student Center, also serving as one time the president of the Neighbors of Watts, a support group for the South Central Community Child Care Center, and as entertainment chairman of the Now Benefit Auction. As you know, we've spoken about Clarence Avon up here. He's known as the Black Godfather of music. He's worked with and also advised people like bill withers babyface sos band sherelle
Starting point is 00:19:06 jackson yes many others he's in the rock and roll hall of fame he was inducted in 2021 this year and he received a star on the hollywood walk of fame in uh 2016 so uh they don't know they're saying it's too soon to call it a home invasion or a follow home robbery. And the motives in the case are still unknown, but they are investigating all possible motives. They will not speculate on anything that's out there, including if this was a robbery attempt or not. But really sad situation to see something like that happen. And I saw that Tyler Perry was saying that he will find and use all whatever resources possible. He said, my heart breaks for Clarence and Nicole and all the Avant family.
Starting point is 00:19:50 This world can be so cruel and cold. I have no idea what kind of subhuman could shoot an 81-year-old woman in her own home. But you can rest assured that every available resource will be used to find whoever is responsible for this awful nightmare. This is tremendously sad. Yeah, they said the back porch window was broken. They said that I believe they did have security. The security guard was shot as well. They don't know if this was a break-in,
Starting point is 00:20:13 if this was a robbery going wrong, if it was a home invasion. Like you said, if it was a follow-home. But it's just nasty out there, and you just got to be extra, extra safe. I know in L.A. they do that a lot. I've seen in Atlanta they do that a lot, too. I mean, come on. We saw what just happened
Starting point is 00:20:26 with Terrence J. Where they followed him home and tried to block him in and shot at his car and everything. And fortunately he was able to get away. But our heart does go out to the Avant family. Alright, now Jesse Smollett. His trial has started and according
Starting point is 00:20:42 to the brothers who took the stand, the Osundaro brothers, they are saying that, Bola is saying that Jesse Smollett agreed to pretend to beat him up. He said he wanted me to beat him up. He testified yesterday. He said, I believed he could help further my acting career.
Starting point is 00:20:57 He told me that we would need another person to fake beat him up. He mentioned, could my brother do it? I said, yes. He said the discussion happened in a car as Smollett was driving him home from the show's Chicago studio. Court did adjourn yesterday at 7 p.m. with the brother, Bola Osundaro, still on the stand. He was not cross-examined, but they're expecting that to happen today. So they do have evidence, including texts and accounts from Osundaro and his brother, pointing to Smollett paying them $3,500 to stage a hate crime attack against him
Starting point is 00:21:28 so he could get publicity and a career boost. So neither of the brothers have been charged with a crime but Jesse Smollett is pleading not guilty and that is for six counts of disorderly conduct for allegedly making false reports to police that he was a victim of a hate crime. Yeah, I'll be honest. I don't really
Starting point is 00:21:44 necessarily care about this Jesse Smollett case. It feels like we've been through it already. It was done, and now we're bringing it back up. I honestly don't care. Yeah, I mean, now they're finally taking this in. I didn't even know this was going to end up going to trial. But one of the brothers said that Smollett allegedly told him to say empire and then a gay slur, then the N-word, then MAGA.
Starting point is 00:22:06 And then he said he wanted me to attack him, but he wanted me to pull the punch so I don't hurt him, give him a bruise. The final part of the plan would be to pour bleach on him, and then he would run away. And they said it was Jussie Smollett's directions to do all of that, allegedly. That's wild if he did do that just to give him a little boost in his career. That's wild. All right, now Alec Baldwin sat down and did an interview with ABC News, and an excerpt was released yesterday. Now, in this excerpt, he says that he never pulled the trigger of the gun
Starting point is 00:22:33 that shot the director, Helena Hutchins, on the set of Rust. She was someone who was loved by everyone who worked with her, liked by everyone who worked with her, and admired. I mean, even now, I find it hard to believe that. It just doesn't seem real to me. It wasn't in the script for the trigger to be pulled. Well the trigger wasn't pulled. I didn't pull the trigger. I would never point a gun at anyone and pull a trigger at them. Never. How did a real bullet get on that set? I have no idea. Someone put a live bullet in a gun. A bullet that wasn't even
Starting point is 00:23:02 supposed to be on the property. You said you're not a victim, but is this the worst thing that's ever happened to you? Yes. I think back, and I think of what could I have done? Now, there's so many, so many crazy things with that. Now, first of all, I thought that he said before, he allegedly said he
Starting point is 00:23:19 pulled the trigger, correct? I thought he said that before. He said the trigger wasn't pulled. I didn't pull the trigger. Well, he said that now, but I thought before he said he pulled the trigger. I think this thought he said that before. He said the trigger wasn't pulled. I didn't pull the trigger. He said that now, but I thought before he said he pulled the trigger. I think this is the first time I'm speaking on it. I thought he said before he pulled the trigger. I could be wrong. And that's another thing. So he didn't pull the trigger, so the gun just went off? I mean, I don't know. It's still
Starting point is 00:23:35 under investigation. And then there was no live there was supposed to be no live rounds and he didn't check? All that just seems a little weird.

And we'll tell you more details of the 15-year-old Ethan Crumbly. He was taken into custody. He's being charged as an adult. All right. We'll get into that next.
Starting point is 00:25:42 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. It's here. The most star-studded black western ever made. The Heart of Day Fall, directed by James Samuel. Alongside a killer soundtrack that features original songs by Jay-Z, Kid Cudi, and more.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Watch now on Netflix and stream the soundtrack now on all platforms. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news. Now on Thursday Night Football, the Cowboys take on the Saints tonight at 8.20 p.m. Now, what else we got, Yeezy? Well, a fourth student has died, and that is all following Tuesday afternoon's shooting at Oxford High School in Oxford Township in Michigan.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Justin Schilling, who was 17 years old, died yesterday. Seven people, including a teacher, were injured. The suspected gunman is 15-year-old Ethan Crumbly. He was taken into custody. He's being charged as an adult. He should be. Now, they're saying there is no indication that the victims were specifically targeted, but they're saying they are confident prosecutors can
Starting point is 00:26:47 prove the shooting was premeditated well before the incident. And he also has been charged with one count of terrorism causing death, four counts of first degree murder, seven counts of assault with intent to murder, eleven counts of possession of a firearm and commission of a felony,
Starting point is 00:27:04 and additional charges are possible. A judge has entered a not guilty plea for Crumbly at his arraignment, and he'll be moved to Oakland County Jail. He'll be held in isolation with bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for December 13th. His father purchased the weapon on Black Friday. Officials are looking into how the family stored its guns, how much access the teen
Starting point is 00:27:23 had to them, and he had apparently used the gun prior to the school shooting, according to a source. They also have some posts that he made where he was posting ominous threats before the massacre at the school. He posted, Now I am become death,
Starting point is 00:27:38 a destroyer of worlds. See you tomorrow, Oxford. Oh, so he told everybody. Then he posted a picture of the gun and said, Just got my new beauty today. Ask any questions, I will answer. And...
Starting point is 00:27:49 Yeah, you gotta, I mean, that's very scary. Now, they said that the parents, actually, there was an incident beforehand and the parents were at the school earlier that morning. But, I mean, when you see something like that, you gotta report it. You have to report it. I remember an incident where there was a kid in my
Starting point is 00:28:05 daughter's school that was knocking over stop signs. And my daughter told me, and we reported it to the police. My daughter was very nervous because she was like she didn't want to seem like a snitch, but she wanted to make sure nobody ran those stop signs. And you gotta report things like that because you're playing with somebody else's life, you know?
Starting point is 00:28:22 Now they're saying the parents of Crumbly had actually gone to the school Tuesday morning to discuss their son's concerning behavior in the classroom. And they said the school did have contact with the student the day before and the day of the shooting for behavior in the classroom that they felt was concerning. And so they're investigating that meeting as well. They said about three hours after the meeting, that's when he pulled out the gun and fired on campus
Starting point is 00:28:44 and ultimately killing four students. He's been charged with 24 felony counts in connection to the shooting. They did also find two cell phone videos that were recorded the night before the shooting. And they said the video featured him talking about shooting and killing students the next day at Oxford High School. They also recovered a journal from his backpack. And according to reports, the entries allegedly included details about his desire to shoot up the school and murder his classmates. So definitely premeditated. Yeah. And they are also talking about honoring Tate Meyer, who was a 16 year old student who was a standout football player. He was killed in the Oxford High School shooting.
Starting point is 00:29:27 And so far, there have been thousands of people who have signed the petition. They said that he actually tried to disarm the suspect. So they want to rename the Wildcat Stadium the Tate-Meyer Stadium. That would be amazing. So far, it has over 87,000 signatures for that to happen. Well, definitely rest in peace to everybody that lost their lives and condolences to all the family and friends and that whole school, man. You talk about trauma. You talk about things that
Starting point is 00:29:49 they're going to need healing and help for because oh my goodness. All right. And there's a new rule out now that will allow debt collectors to track you down on social media. So you can pursue people on email, text messages, and on social media sites as well. So if you friend somebody on email, text message, and on social media sites as well.
Starting point is 00:30:11 So if you friend somebody on Instagram or on Facebook, it could be a debt collector who wants to contact you with a direct message. Or not only that, just could you imagine if you post something, new bag, and your debt collector be like, but you ain't pay your bill though. This is MasterCard, you ain't pay your bill though. That is, that's great. I love that. If you're not already stressed enough about bills, you can't even go on Instagram. You talk about embarrassment. Oh, that is amazing. New car, stressed enough about bills, you can't even go on Instagram. You talk about embarrassment. Oh, that is amazing. New car, but you ain't pay that car note in six months, though.
Starting point is 00:30:30 I love that. That is amazing. Yeah, and you know, debt collectors do have a limited number of years where they can sue somebody to collect. And after that time runs out, then unpaid debts are considered time barred. But a lot of people do still try to get this debt from you. So many consumers aren't even aware that their debt is no longer collectible. The statute of limitations on that debt varies from state to state. So just something for you guys to know as well.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Wow. Can you imagine you post a picture with your son and then the child welfare say, Hey, but you ain't pay your child support in months though. That's amazing. I would love to see that. You know, you got to block people sometimes. There's just more people for the block list. Yeah, you got to block them, though.
Starting point is 00:31:08 But that is funny. And definitely if they're unblockable, and you can just keep leaving messages. I don't think anybody's unblockable. That's amazing. That's great. I love that. I will put you right on, what's the thing?
Starting point is 00:31:18 Restrict. I will restrict you. I got mad people on restrict. Go right ahead. I got mad people on restrict. I never see it. I got friends on restrict. Well, they're not friends, but they think they're friends.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Yeah, there's some people who post and you'll be like, oh, I don't want to see that. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Front page news. All right. When we come back, Troy Ave will be joining us. So we're going to kick it with Troy Ave. And also, Charlamagne is out today.

Starting point is 00:34:03 I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. or wherever you get your podcasts. Number one independent on the East Coast, man. I feel blessed, baby. I got a new haircut, too. Are you fully independent? You know there's always that debate. Oh, yeah. I'm fully 100% been independent since day one. Like, for real. Fully independent.
Starting point is 00:35:32 So, you know, I should be getting another plaque. And that's what I pray for. And I'm about to get it. I always get what I pray for, man, for real. So, what's been up with Trav? What you been up to in the last two years? What I've been praying for? Oh, man. I've been praying for a new Alvin A chart.
Starting point is 00:35:48 That's what I wanted. I've been praying for properties. I ain't really pray for. I really pray for that God give me the strength because once I got the strength and health, I could go and do the rest. You know what I'm saying? So I've been buying a bunch of properties,
Starting point is 00:36:01 trying to be like my man Envy. You know what I'm saying? How is the real estate market right now? Because I know prices have been up above what they normally are and I keep hearing
Starting point is 00:36:08 them talk about that. The way I usually do it is I buy, I keep, and then I rent them. I don't do flips and stuff like that. So I stopped buying
Starting point is 00:36:17 like last crib I bought was probably like four months into the pandemic. But the reason why I stopped is because it's just a headache of having to be out
Starting point is 00:36:26 there and then getting the people to come and do the inspection so you could get the tenants and all that. And just like dealing with the hassle, you know what I'm saying? And then I found that I had more properties than I could really manage. So I was like, let me just focus on those. And you know how it is when you start doing other things. And I'm still doing music. I still got to be a father.
Starting point is 00:36:44 I got, I just got like, you know, more custody of my kids now. You know and I'm still doing music. I still got to be a father. I got, I just got like, you know, more custody of my kids now. You know what I'm saying? So I still got to do that. You have joint custody? Yeah, I got,
Starting point is 00:36:52 before I had like some bullshit visitation. I get my kids three days a week. You can't be no real dad like that. That's impossible. How many kids you got? I got two. You got two.
Starting point is 00:37:01 So I got two kids by the same mother. Two sons. So let's talk about the custody of your kids. I see your kids a lot more on your gram and you've been taking them to school. You've been taking them to trips. So how has that been? So first of all, like you said, you got joint custody or you got full custody? I got joint custody.
Starting point is 00:37:15 So now I get them half the time. I get them two weeks out of four out the month as opposed to having them six days a month before. Was she willingly doing that or was that something you had to do in court? Absolutely not. I had to fight in court for that. And I feel like every father should go fight in court. I even got a lot of homeboys where it's just kind of like a cop out where, damn, you know the mom, she won't let me see him.
Starting point is 00:37:37 Like, that's bullshit. You got to be a parent to your kids no matter what because at the end of the day, it's going to fall on you when you got to bail them out of jail. You know what I'm saying? When you got to take care of the baby that they made the day it's going to fall on you when you got to bail them out of jail. You know what I'm saying? When you got to take care of the baby that they made early it's going to fall on you and it ain't no bulls**t
Starting point is 00:37:49 excuse about yo, I couldn't be there because the moms wouldn't let me see them. How about your co-parenting now? We good now. We good now. No offense.
Starting point is 00:37:58 But you know, women like to do bulls**t. Not all women, but some. Men do too sometimes. You know, people like to do. I ain't gonna friend. It is a lot of bitter.
Starting point is 00:38:07 It's bitter baby mothers that could be men too. It's a lot of them. I know because I deal with women, and I know about they bitter baby fathers that they might c**k block. They don't want to babysit, so me and the girl could go out. Like bulls**t.
Starting point is 00:38:19 You know what I'm saying? They still want them. But that's when you got leverage. So once, women like to use leverage a lot. Once there's no leverage, once it's like you can't take the kids from me. So I don't have to call you and be like, yo, can I see my kid? Yo, let me keep them extra days. And what could they really do?
Starting point is 00:38:34 It's no leverage. So now you got to play nice in the sandbox. You do have a song called Bitter on the album. I do. So bitter. So bitter. Kind of toxic goes into bitter. It did.
Starting point is 00:38:43 I did that on purpose. I wanted it to be like so toxic and so bitter. So bitter. Kind of toxic goes into bitter. It did. I did that on purpose. I wanted it to be like so toxic and so bitter. And like, if you notice I'm so toxic, like I don't put my hands on women. I don't believe in none of that shit. So like, you know, like the girl hit me with some flowers and all kind of. Bust your lip. Yeah, bust my lip, all kind of shit. True story?
Starting point is 00:39:00 Yeah, but not so much. When I make my music, I use like, it's always based on true facts, but I might use like my friend's story and then my story and put it together. Just certain things so I don't incriminate myself or whatever. But I've been there many nights, but I didn't get swung on and hit with roses that night. You know what I'm saying? I got swung on for other shit like somebody trying to say they was pregnant by me. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:39:23 So anyway, it's so bit of shit that was actually about my kid's mother and she actually loved the song so the co-parenting is going great. You and I was talking,
Starting point is 00:39:31 we listened to your album again this morning. Yeah, I did. And we, we noticed there's no features. Yeah, no features.
Starting point is 00:39:37 And the first thing me and you said, shout out to Kevin Gates. Damn, nobody f*** with Trev? Nah, nah, that's not true.
Starting point is 00:39:43 I'm gonna have features on White Christmas. Okay. But like certain times when you doing albums, you're independent, I'm not the best planner of things. So like I do a lot of s*** myself. I just make it happen. So I'm not the best planner and set up. And then, you know, you got to call artists and hit them.
Starting point is 00:39:57 And like this album, I decided, yo, I'm going to do it in three weeks. I want to just put it out. You know what I'm saying? So I don't like waiting. I just like getting it done. And I know, like, unless it's like an album like major without a deal new york city the album i feel like i could carry an album myself especially with the way the music is now like i'm not one of these artists that i've never been when the only time i had mad features because i wanted to get with all of all of the people that i looked up to in music coming up you know
Starting point is 00:40:23 what i'm saying like whether it was Fat Joe, 50 Cent, or, you know, Jada Fab, that was the only time. But as far as this, the way albums is now, all these albums that I'm making, I'm making them like soundtracks, so they come with a movie.
Starting point is 00:40:35 That's why they show it. That's why they 25, 30 minutes, you know what I'm saying? And then it's smarter like that, streaming-wise, just to go get the bag and run it up. So I wanted it to be a movie with just me. That's why every song kind of tie into the next
Starting point is 00:40:47 and whatever, whatever. But I don't, I feel like it's a cop-out when you reaching for features. You see people do mad features with people that don't even match. You don't even f*** with them. You just basically d*** riding, trying to get some streams and d*** to do all this and still not selling the records.
Starting point is 00:41:03 So how does it make sense? I'm not that. I'm an alpha male. I was staying alone and I do what I want and I move on my own time. I don't move on. Yo, I'm forced under pressure
Starting point is 00:41:11 to have to sell this much or I got to sell. It sounds dumb when you trying to sound like somebody that's not even in your lane. They're not even doing it right like Biggie did
Starting point is 00:41:20 with Bone Thugs. It's just trash. It look like you reaching. Well, first, you moved your album back with respect for Young Dolph. Young Dolph passed away. That's a fact. I was going to ask, when you seen
Starting point is 00:41:30 what happened with Young Dolph, did that bring back memories for you? Because a couple times, they tried to take your life away on a couple of different occasions. Would people try to take my life or whatever? I don't know, man. You still go out. You still go to the fights.
Starting point is 00:41:45 You still go to, you know, to restaurants. Does that make you nervous? Do you move differently because it's... I move. I mean, you had a couple
Starting point is 00:41:53 attempts on your life. So do you feel like, you know, I'm going to stay out the way? I move more dangerously and I move more militant. Like, you're not seeing me with a bunch of...
Starting point is 00:42:01 I'm not going to be with 10, 8, whatever, whatever. Like, I'm going to have my security. He's going to be licensed with a firearm. You'm not gonna be with 10 8 whatever whatever like i'm gonna have my security he's gonna be licensed with a firearm you know i'm saying i move more dangerous than anything and on top of that i carry myself differently i carry myself like i try not to let my ego get involved anymore so i feel like i'm growing up i'm maturing as an adult so a lot of times you'd be like man this i want to go here it's gonna be late just
Starting point is 00:42:25 let my face be seen but for what you're doing it for free it's like in life you gotta have you gotta have more value to yourself than other people will you know i'm saying and most most of us don't just being in the urban community we don't do that at all so and you can see by the risks we take being places we shouldn't be so it's basically like if you in, if it's a water filled with sharks, you might could get in that water and not get bit, but it's a likely chance that you might get bit. So why would you jump in that water? I jump in the water if it's a big bag of money for me to get.
Starting point is 00:42:56 You know what I mean? So I'm not going in no... Like squid game? Like squid, yeah, like squid game. But I wouldn't do no squid game. I got more hustle than that. I'll get it from the mud. But I jump in the water if it's a big bag of money to get, but that's't do no squid game. I got more hustle than that. I'll get it from the mud. But I jump in the money if it's...
Starting point is 00:43:05 I jump in the water if it's a big bag of money to get. But that's the equivalent of the hood. It's sharks. F*** is hungry. They trying to eat, and you can't blame them. But what I gotta hold myself to is be like, wait, I'm in the middle of the ocean on a yacht. Why would I jump off my yacht to go swim with some hungry
Starting point is 00:43:22 sharks? It makes no sense. You feel me? I'm just a big bag of money. And if I was them, I would probably try to do something to me too. So I just move dangerous, especially when I'm with my kids. I'm extra on high alert. But as you should be, if you got anything of value, if you hold yourself of value, it can happen with anybody. Right. All right, we got more with Troy Ave.
Starting point is 00:43:43 When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Troy Ave. Now, rest in peace, banger, of course. Now, what's going on with your trial?
Starting point is 00:43:58 I'm not asking for details. I'm just curious. I haven't seen the trial pop up or what's going on with the court. Right now, they're letting me go finally leave the country. I got a show a show in jamaica on uh january january first whatever and but when you guys going back when the proceedings happen because i mean i do go to house was what last year less than a year ago and he went to court and it just seems like this is it's taking a long time i go i go to court i go to court online are you online yeah i go to court online so that's that's better west less, less eyes out the way or whatever.
Starting point is 00:44:27 And what I'm understanding is that now, since with COVID, they're not going to put on no real trial or whatever and have me sitting on trial. And then all of a sudden, one of the members break out with COVID, and then they just got to be a hung jury for me. You know what I'm saying? Right. So, I mean, it's good.
Starting point is 00:44:43 It's work. The longer I stay out of trouble, the longer that is proof. Like I've been saying from day one, self-defense. This was an isolated incident. I've never gotten
Starting point is 00:44:52 in trouble before and I never got in trouble after because I ain't causing no trouble. So the longer this gets postponed, the better it is for you. The better.
Starting point is 00:44:59 As long as I'm staying out of trouble and being a productive member of society, you know what I mean? I'm not being a f***ing bum or a menace. And yeah,
Starting point is 00:45:06 it's good. It gotta be good. Because the show, I'm basically, I've been on probation for mad years. I couldn't leave the country. They started letting me
Starting point is 00:45:14 do shows. I feel like I'm on probation and it's f***ed up. But the longer, the better. I want to stay out. I want to keep making dope music.
Starting point is 00:45:23 God is Great, Paper Straight, the album. I want to keep on. You got, it seems like you got a closer relationship to god as it seems like in the last couple of years so explain that because you know um when my wife's mother passed away a lot of people sent texts and sent messages and sent flowers but troy i've actually called and he called with his uh pastor and he said he wanted to do a prayer he said was he said you believe in god and i was like oh yeah and he was like if you don and he said he wanted to do a prayer. He said the same thing. He said, do you believe in God? And I was like, oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:47 And he was like, if you don't mind, I would love to pray for you and your wife. So we all prayed, and I just thought that was dope because a lot of people don't do that. A lot of people will say, yo, condolences, but not too many people say, you know what? I want to pray for you. They'll say they send prayers up,
Starting point is 00:45:59 or I throw some prayers with you, and it be capped a lot of times. I'm just a genuine person, and I know it leaves you at a handicap in life and in certain businesses that you're going through but no matter what you're still gonna be blessed you know what i'm saying so like i really felt like i really i felt pain for envy you know i'm saying same way i i shed tears for young dolph you know i mean like i really felt pain like that if you really with somebody and they're going through something
Starting point is 00:46:23 you're gonna feel pain for them and i know what helped me through pain is is like god you know i'm saying and not on no i'm not i'm not no pastor or nothing but the actual i'm gonna tell you how ill it is how everything come full circle the pastor that i call him with that's my pastor now that actually prayed for him and his wife basically saved me and drove me to the hospital on christmas day when i got shot. Right. You know what I'm saying? So that's how I knew he was legit.
Starting point is 00:46:48 He ain't one of these, hey, give me some money and a hat and type of bull passes. You feel me? He come to the big house. We talk, whatever. So like, I feel like when I started going through, I always believe in God. I always pray before I eat my meals. I make my kids pray. I don't care if I'm at a table with a bunch of...
Starting point is 00:47:05 I cannot not pray. You feel me? You can't. And I never had no food poisoning or no... That's a fact. And then I really sat back when I see people that... Mother... Die from less.
Starting point is 00:47:15 I got shot in the head. You feel me? Like, in real life. And in my back. Like, people die for less. And the fact that I'm living, I can't... I can't waste life. I can't do bullshit both i can't hold on
Starting point is 00:47:27 to negativity you know i'm saying like i'm here for a purpose and i gotta make my life more purposeful than just you know around getting money bitches being fly whatever whatever you ever have flashbacks or any type of ptsd from that yeah Yeah, it's like fight or flight. And I've improved in more than one, two, three instances that I'm always going to fight. You know what I'm saying? One thing, ain't nobody going to just, I'm not a victim. So anyway, when I'm driving in certain cars, certain here they're going to say I'm bragging again.
Starting point is 00:48:00 But when you're driving in certain low foreigns, like low sitting cars, that's when I'll feel, like, awake. But if I'm in, like, a truck or something, or, you know what I mean, different as you for a door, I don't feel awake. But, like, if I'm in something low, you in a bucket. You, like, motherf***er could just come down and stand over you and just whatever. So that s*** make me feel a little bit nervous. But not nervous to the point where, like, I'm sweating and shaking and crying and all that. It's a thought though because
Starting point is 00:48:25 you think about the situation it's like a deja vu It's more like I'm more on high alert but like I say I handle pressure and shit differently I'm not weak I'm strong you know what I'm saying not saying that other people are weak for dealing with shit
Starting point is 00:48:41 Everyone has their moments though you don't have to be strong all the time. Everybody got their moments, but yeah, you do gotta be strong all the time when you a male. You have to allow yourself to sometimes feel that, though, and feel, like, vulnerable.
Starting point is 00:48:53 I can't. I can't, yeah. The way my life's set up, I can't. I can't be vulnerable because that shit, that shit can be my downfall, you feel me?
Starting point is 00:49:00 Not even in a relationship? Fuck no. It's a downfall. Like, I wear my heart on my sleeve. Yeah, with my kids, that's different. All bets is off when you're with your kids. You feel me? But that's different.
Starting point is 00:49:11 I owe them. They're my responsibility to raise them right. And I can't have no weakness. They can't see me crying or being broke. But your kids cry. They have to know it's okay to cry. No, my boys cry, but they can't cry over bullshit. So my son was crying. We was leaving a football game. Your son played football. to know It's okay to cry No my boys cry But they can't cry Over bullshit
Starting point is 00:49:25 So my son was crying We was leaving a football game Your son played football You know what's up My son was crying Over not getting a donut So I had to Check him in front of everybody
Starting point is 00:49:35 What are you crying for? I still cry over stuff like that Well see you You a woman No kidding But look You know what's crazy? Like having like
Starting point is 00:49:42 Real emotion like that That's feminine And it's okay. No, it's not true, because sometimes it come out of nowhere, too. Man, you see? Sometimes people cry over something small because there's something bigger happening. Well, then, let me ask you this. This is why the game's f***ed up a lot now, because we got too much blurred lines.
Starting point is 00:50:00 We don't have feminine roles and masculine roles. Them s*** is mixed. And that ain't how it's supposed to go. I'm only saying it. I go by God. I don't care feminine roles and masculine roles. I'm mixed. And that ain't how it's supposed to go. I'm only saying that I go by God. I don't care what nobody talking about. Men ain't supposed to wear dresses. Facts. That ain't how it go.
Starting point is 00:50:12 What are you, a Roman Tom? I don't know where that rule came from. It's just clothes. What? Because in certain places, they do wear skirts. They do. I said, what are we, in Roman times? We not in Roman times.
Starting point is 00:50:22 They not Irish with a bagpipe. It's just fashion. How is it fashion? It's just fashion. How is it fashion? It's just clothes. All right. So like I said, Amber, would you wear a skirt? Would I wear a skirt? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:31 Okay, cool. All right. Whatever. It depends on the circumstance. Would you marry a man that wears a skirt? Shut up. Would you marry a man that wears a skirt? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:37 Okay. It's just clothes. I don't see how clothes matter so much. She's a free spirit, open-minded thinker. She feel like men should cry and shit. I feel like you should save your chance. I think people should be able to cry if they need to. But let me ask you this.
Starting point is 00:50:48 There's other alternative ways to deal with your crying. So every time God bless the day, my man Banga, when his birthday come around, I get on bulls***. That's how you see me being like, I'm going at Asanova. I'm putting his f***ing, I'm having a paperwork party. He ratted on God God Bless the Dead classic. Like, I'm going to bulls**t around when the time that my man's birthday passed. I died, right? But I don't deal with that with tears.
Starting point is 00:51:12 I go hit the boxing bag. You know what I'm saying? I go hit the punching bag. So when's the last time you cried? You haven't cried at all? I haven't cried since my grandfather's funeral. And I had tears in my eyes when Dolph died. That's a fact. But it's
Starting point is 00:51:26 other ways to deal with s***. We don't have to automatically deal with something one way. Not saying people are weak for crying. Everybody deal with s*** one way. But me the way I'm set up, I gotta be like this. I gotta be an alpha. I deal with so much s***. If I was a crybaby ass s***, I would be crying all the time.
Starting point is 00:51:42 Nobody say you had to cry all the time but I'm saying it's okay. You don't ass, I would be crying all the time. Ain't nobody say you had to cry all the time, but I'm saying it's okay. Yo, you don't understand. I would be crying. Yo, I don't think nobody in the history of rap, besides maybe Tupac, not comparing myself to Pac, but I will make a new Pac too. New Pac, here we go. And make money off it.
Starting point is 00:52:00 You know what I'm saying? Shout out to Charlamagne for that. But nobody deal with this much hate and overcome it. I get hate from when I did the suicide shit with suicide prevention people hating on me. You know what I'm saying? I get hate from, I said some shit about people being junkies. It was drug addict advocates hating on me. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:52:20 I get hate from weirdo rappers. I get hate from fake ass gangster rappers. I get hate from weirdo rappers. I get hate from fake-ass gangster rappers. I get hate from media people. I get hate from... I said some shit, the LGBT community was on my top. I get hate from PETA. But that's because of things you said. But how?
Starting point is 00:52:34 I don't speak on... I don't say bullshit. I just say shit that... I speak on shit that might be in the Bible. I speak on opinions based on facts. Just like my podcast, The Facto Show. Yeah, but people deal with real life things like suicide prevention. That goes back
Starting point is 00:52:47 to what I'm saying. There's other ways to deal with shit. You don't have to deal with some shit about killing yourself. And now what I was saying is like you being
Starting point is 00:52:54 an enabler low key because you're saying, hey, there's nothing wrong with men wearing skirts, nothing wrong. I say it is something wrong with committing suicide. Don't fucking do it.
Starting point is 00:53:02 And then hopefully, I'm going to tell you this is a fact. I don't be up here lying. I don't be up here capping. My name is in my chinchilla. I'm not one of those people. So I have people tell me, yo, I'm not going to front. You saved my life. I was on, I was on some bullshit feeling depressed, but you said that, yo, I'm a dickhead if I kill myself and I didn't do it. You know, but there's people who have real life. And I'm going to say this because I do know somebody who was on medication, got off the medication, and ended
Starting point is 00:53:28 up taking his own life and that was because of a chemical imbalance that he had. And so I feel like we don't know what goes on if you're not in that situation where you've never felt like that or you've never had to be on medication. Low-key, we do know we're going. We do know we're going. I'm going to tell you why. And I'm saying that I'm blessed that
Starting point is 00:53:44 I don't have, I do have mental issues, but my mental issues, I deal with them differently. And like low key, we do know what's going on. You just glazed over it. Yeah, he was on medication. He got off. He got off the medication. Yeah, because it was making him nauseous. You want to be nauseous or dead?
Starting point is 00:53:58 Yeah, but sometimes you think you're cured. You don't know. Like when you have these issues. I know. I had a neighbor like that. He was bipolar. Right. So that's a hard thing.
Starting point is 00:54:06 I said, get the back on your meds. No, man, because I can't drink and it hurt my stomach. You out here bugging. You want the police to tase you or kill you? So you want to be nauseous or dead? We got to draw lines in the sand. And that's the shit that be bothering me about this whole music and entertainment and just shit that I'm in. Like, I draw lines in the sand and it'd be a handicap for me because like I'm standing on real I'm standing on real shit and everybody else is on
Starting point is 00:54:30 whatever not throwing shots at you I actually we've been to poke knockers together early I really on a personal level but like we gotta draw lines in the sand and say this is right and this is wrong you feel me because the people who like like even going back to this what i hate about music i hate when rappers i with beef you know i'm saying i really really hate that because i really genuinely i don't fuck with a lot of people but when i do with you i'll put you one thousand percent so like i'm gonna tell you i'm gonna tell you story i really fuck with young right? But around that time that we met or before that, Yo Gotti did some real s*** for me. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:55:10 He put me on. He did some real s*** for me. He gave me some real advice and then went and did something for me. So I'm like, damn, I wish I had the power or like I wish I was like, but I could put s*** together and just be like, yo, I gotta stop this. Alright, we got more with Troy Ave. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:55:28 Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Troy Ave. I'm listening to you talk. I'm letting you talk. The crying s***, I think what you're saying is full of s***.
Starting point is 00:55:42 I'm gonna tell you why, right? Tell me why, please. I'm gonna tell you why. I know it's gonna be hosing your story. No, I'm gonna tell you why, right? Because I know it's gonna be hosing you I'm gonna tell you why right because right when it comes to stuff right I'm a grown-ass man right you know street when somebody came at me you know I came at them they threw two at me I threw four back and that's real I never talk about it because I don't have to right but if I'm watching a movie on the plane and something is sensitive I'm a child Oh f*** no Get this A bib And a pamper It's the truth
Starting point is 00:56:06 Why are you crying It's a movie But something that makes me feel a way It's something that makes me feel You can say here And say whatever you want about me And me and you can go We can fight and tussle
Starting point is 00:56:15 But if there's something in a movie Tussle That makes me That makes me feel a way I could throw a tear I don't have to cry during Creed That don't make me less of a man No no
Starting point is 00:56:24 I'm not saying My baby was just born I cried That's different That don't make me less of a man. No, no. I'm not saying that. My baby was just born. I cried. That's different. That don't make me less of a man. I said there's no rules with your kids and shit. If I see my kids graduate and do some great shit that I didn't do, I'm going to cry. My daughter got stitches on her face at a young age.
Starting point is 00:56:37 I tear it up because I see my daughter crying. How? She's not dead. Nah, but it don't matter. But her seeing her in pain put me in pain. I see my kids in pain. And it's pain that I can't take away. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:56:47 I be wanting to take the pain away from my kids. But I'm not crying over no damn movie. It's a movie. And I booing. What are you getting scared over? It make you tear? Like what? Like I seen movies and that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:56:55 I react to it different. You must not have seen Creed. You do. I be like, I seen Creed. I just be like, I be like, damn, that was a really good movie. That shit touched me. I'm not going to say it touched me. I'm not going to say, can I get a'm not going to say can I get a tissue?
Starting point is 00:57:05 That don't make me less of who I am because I'm 10. Well, now you're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say it makes you less of a man. Well, you said it does.
Starting point is 00:57:11 I said that it could be because there's other ways to handle it. Okay. But that doesn't make somebody who cries less than a man or make somebody
Starting point is 00:57:17 who cries weak. Well, technically, it's not a strong way. Would you say it's a strong way of handling it? Let's go black and white because you know I like to go black and white.
Starting point is 00:57:24 If it's not a strong way of handling it, it depends why you way of handling it? Let's go black and white, because you know I like to go black and white. If it's not a strong way of handling it... It depends why you're crying. Is there another way for you to handle seeing that movie that makes you emotional? Is there? To having a tear? Is there another way for you to handle it? I mean, there's a way that you might handle it,
Starting point is 00:57:35 but I handle it differently. Ah, come on. Is this the truth? You're doing an interview, but is there another way for you to handle it? That's what I'm saying. I don't know, because that's the way that I handle it.
Starting point is 00:57:43 That's my reaction. I can't think about it like, damn, I could have handled that a little differently. Maybe I could have jumped up and'm saying. I don't know, but that's the way that I handle it. That's my reaction. I can't think about it like, damn, I could have handled that a little differently. Maybe I could have jumped up and cheered. I don't know. My feeling and my emotion at that time was, damn, that was sentimental. Actually, what you just did is said I could have jumped up and cheered. You just answered the question. But that's not my emotion.
Starting point is 00:57:59 I would have faked it. Then you would be looking at me as one of those weirdo-ass rappers. You know what? Let me say say what it is i'm in control of my emotions now that's the difference i'm in control of them you know i'm saying i don't let my emotions guide me and like that so like my son fell on he was on the field his his tooth was loose his tooth came out in the game he started crying i said what are you crying for are you dead are you injured no my tooth came out i've seen you pull the tooth out in the house all right spit the blood out and go back he sucked it up and went back out there but his mother and the team mom they were like oh baby oh and he and

Every time I open up my bank account, I cry. I cry. You know why? Because I came to a place where I'm not supposed to have that.
Starting point is 00:59:19 Every time I walk in my house, I cry. Because I come from an area where I'm not supposed to do that. Okay, now you're crying too much. You know what I did?

I said this before, I'll say it again. I don't agree with no type of hate. People will be cool with this type of hate, but not that. Haters hate.
Starting point is 00:59:59 Whether you're hating on somebody for they got money, whether you're hating on somebody for their gender, their sexuality. But people might say you a hater, though. No, you never said I was a hater. That's a fact. Tell me how. You just said...
Starting point is 01:00:10 Never in life. I've never had on nobody in my life. But that's the way that they are. That's not... No, I didn't... You just said people that wear dresses you don't see eye to eye, that's kind of hate
Starting point is 01:00:18 because you call them weirdos. Weirdos is kind of hate. How is it hate? Because if I can't remember what to wear a dress, right? And that's his freedom because that's what he is. That don't affect you.
Starting point is 01:00:25 That don't affect what you do. Right. Right? But no, I'm saying right to what you're saying. You get it out. You call a rapper that don't necessarily come from the same place that you come from, not raised the same way because he doesn't look like you or dress like you. He's a weirdo.
Starting point is 01:00:39 That's kind of hate. That's not hate. You know what a weirdo is to me? What's weirdo? If you're doing f***ing drugs and you wearing funny nail polish and you're acting feminine
Starting point is 01:00:48 and you f***ing rapping in weird ways, you're a widow, but I'm not hating. How's the rapping in weird ways? I'm going to tell
Starting point is 01:00:54 you about rapping. No, that's not true because I listen to soul music, the spinners, all kind of s***. You can't judge
Starting point is 01:01:01 people by nail polish and what they wear. Men should be wearing nail polish. Rock stars wear nail polish all the time. Rock stars. Let me tell you something. I feel like everybody wears nail polish.
Starting point is 01:01:11 Tupac has a nose ring, too. Tupac does. Whatever. Don't do that. Tupac, don't do that to Tupac. Would you wear a nose ring? I wouldn't, but Tupac did. I wouldn't, but a lot of men wear nose rings.
Starting point is 01:01:20 A lot of men don't wear nail polish. Whatever. F***. Rock stars. This is where we got the game f***ed up first of all back to the hate I've never hated
Starting point is 01:01:27 on nobody in my life I get inspired if I see somebody do s*** I'ma ask them there's nobody walking the earth that can say
Starting point is 01:01:33 I don't feel jealousy that's not how I'm built I'm a genuine I got different qualities about me that's different as far as rockstars wearing nail polish people f*** horses
Starting point is 01:01:43 that ain't what we supposed to do it's just nail polish bestiality is something completely stars wearing nail polish people f*** horses that ain't what we supposed to do it's just nail polish bestiality is something completely different than nail polish bestiality is illegal it's a gateway drug
Starting point is 01:01:52 it's a gateway drug so this is what I'm saying but as far as like me hating I never hate on nobody that's a gateway drug it's people doing things that you ain't supposed to do
Starting point is 01:02:02 and we gotta have we gotta have control of our emotions. We got to have control. Sometimes everything you want to do is not good. It probably feel good to shoot heroin. That don't mean you should f***ing do it. As far as being a rock star, being a rock star is not rock and roll.
Starting point is 01:02:16 We're not talking about rock and roll, which was started by Little Richard or one of these black people. And then Elvis came and did it. We're talking about rock star. That's straightening your hair, makeup, all kind of s***. Black people, if you ain't a f***ing rock star, you're not Lenny Kravitz, dog. You being a rapper, now you blurring the lines.

He posted, One month after I signed and dropped my debut album, Baby on Baby, in 2019, my little brother hit me and told me my daddy was found dead in his crib. I was the hottest rapper in the world, spending my entire breakthrough year hurting behind a fake smile, using my hustle to block out how effed up I was about my daddy dying unexpectedly. I ran laps around and was my first year in the game of all types of accolades
Starting point is 01:07:45 that I was too numb to enjoy. I held it down and carried the last name as righteously as I could dropping my second album Kirk dedicated to my daddy later that year. To this day I still don't know what happened or how my daddy died. I was in the middle of a sold out arena tour when COVID first hit top of 2020 and had to sit my ass still for the first time since I popped 2019. I went with my move and dropped anyway with my third album, Blame It On Baby. June 2020, Rockstar went number one on Billboard. And he said, November 3rd, 2020, my big brother committed suicide. I was a top streaming artist in the world at that time.
Starting point is 01:08:17 I lost my big brother. All that along with the other ish I can't speak on. So he said, till this day, I get targeted, lied lied on and get my name dragged through the mud every day for fame and money. Two things everybody want that I don't even care about. Yeah, I'm sure. What do they call it? Like survivor's remorse? The fact that, you know, you feel like you made it and everybody around
Starting point is 01:08:36 you didn't. Also not even knowing what happened to your father. And then the fact that your brother took his own life and imagine the pain somebody is going through. They can't enjoy everything that he's doing because he's own life. And imagine the pain somebody is going through. They can't enjoy everything that he's doing because he's still, you know, feeling the pain from his father and his brother and his friends and everything that's going on around him. You know, you got to pray for the baby.
Starting point is 01:08:55 Right now, in the meantime, these organizations are saying that they haven't heard anything from the baby. They said he never donated to three AIDS organizations after they met in August. And he hasn't followed up. It was World AIDS Day yesterday and they posted a report in the Daily Beast investigating what the baby has done to provide several of the organizations that he met with in August
Starting point is 01:09:17 after the comments that he made about people living with HIV. And of the nine organizations he met with, three said they have not heard from him. The other six did not respond. So what's about the money? So they did have a conversation with him. They didn't say anything about money, but I think they were talking about what can you do moving forward?
Starting point is 01:09:34 Like to correct miseducation. Well, the brother's been going through a lot, as you can see. So I think it's probably overwhelming. He saw those reports and everybody else kind of bashing him. And then he had a very public situation with Danny Lay that happened on his live. So it's a lot going on.
Starting point is 01:09:54 He's been going through a lot. Mm-hmm. All right. Eddie Murphy has signed a new record deal with Warner Brothers. He's going to be releasing a reggae album. What? And that reggae album also features Beanie Man. Now he also
Starting point is 01:10:07 has a song with Snoop Lion, aka Snoop Dogg, that will be on the LP, and here's a snippet of that. Red light, stop right there where you are. Red light,
Starting point is 01:10:24 stop right there where you are. That's the banger, Red Light. Could you imagine? Eddie Murphy had an album out before. Party all the time. He did. He did. That was 30 years ago and that was... And then he had Boogie In Your Butt.
Starting point is 01:10:51 He did have Boogie In Your Butt. But could you imagine you being an artist, a Jamaican artist or a reggae artist or any artist and you're looking for a deal and you're nice. You've been practicing. You've been putting in the work and you do it every day. You've been sending out promos. You've been outside the radio stations for people. And then Eddie Murphy gets a deal because he's Eddie Murphy.
Starting point is 01:11:08 You didn't like that little snippet? Did you like it? I hear more. Would you put it on your playlist? Would you put it in your coffee shop or your juice bottle? Maybe if I was at the pool or something. No, you wouldn't. Lighten one up.

There's a chick that called in and said she was an Amazon worker and she wanted snacks as a gift. Nope, that's what she said. If you missed it this morning, an Amazon worker called and she said for Christmas as a tip, all she want is milk and snacks.
Starting point is 01:15:36 And that's what I'm giving my Amazon workers. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. I'm out here with the postal service. We're out here delivering packages.

Alright, we're going to talk to Yandy when we come back.
Starting point is 01:17:23 Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max.

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.

Starting point is 01:18:34 revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition.
Starting point is 01:18:57 Why can't I create 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.
Starting point is 01:19:12 Bullet holes. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

Starting point is 01:19:39 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.
Starting point is 01:20:14 Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 01:20:31 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line. We have Yandy. Morning, Yandy. Yay! Yandy, what city are you in? I'm in Atlanta.
Starting point is 01:20:44 I'm in Atlanta, Georgia. But in my heart, I'm always in New York. I know that. Now, you moved from New York. You moved from Harlem. You moved to Atlanta. So how's Atlanta living? What made you move to Atlanta?
Starting point is 01:20:56 Everything. The opportunities out here. I've opened up a store. I have a restaurant. So there's just a lot going on. And then I wanted some grass. I wanted my babies to run in grass and see trees and smell fresh, clean air and all of that. So it was really my husband's decision and I was fighting it. But then when I came out, he was like, just look at this house.
Starting point is 01:21:15 Just look at this house. I came, looked at the house and I fell in love. Good. That'll do it. Now, speaking of your husband, we saw that you guys did renew your vows earlier this year in Dubai. So what was that experience like for you? It was a lot. We planned that wedding in three weeks. And originally it was supposed to be 10 of us.
Starting point is 01:21:35 There were about 80 something of us out there. It was insane. It was crazy. He proposed and I was like, we were going on a family trip to Dubai. And then he was like yeah you know I wanted to get remarried and I was like well
Starting point is 01:21:49 why don't we do it in Dubai and why don't we start inviting people so that quick little thing turned into 80 people out there with us and the show decided to follow it
Starting point is 01:21:58 so it was beautiful it was so nice Now Yandy you know you guys ended up on the rumor report and on the blogs and went viral. And that was for something that Mandisi said. I'm like, which thing was it now?
Starting point is 01:22:10 I was thinking the same thing. I was like, what you done did now? What did I do now? But I do want you to clear this up, right? Because people were talking about how Mandisi said that if you went to jail, he doesn't know if he'd be able to hold you down. And if you recall, that went so viral. And I know he felt very defensive. That sounded wild when he said it, though.
Starting point is 01:22:28 I ain't gonna throw. If the role were reversed, would you hold me down? If the shoes was on the other foot, you know, I don't know what I would be able to do. Hmm. And that's a problem. My husband is brutally honest in every situation. Now, the same question was asked to me when he was leaving. They were like, you know, well, actually, he said, you don't have to do this. In your mind,
Starting point is 01:22:51 in my mind, I was like, shoot, I hope I can do it. You know, you really just don't know. What he said was, I don't know. And that is what everybody really feels. But I was like, damn, this is in front of 3 million people watching this show. I don't care what you really feel. Say what you're supposed to say. The world is going to look at you and me crazy for you saying something stupid like that. So, yeah, I was like, I should knock you upside
Starting point is 01:23:16 your head. So what was that conversation after? The conversation after was, you want to get knocked upside your head? I was saying it, but this isn't the first time like we've had this conversation when we go through things and he's like, yeah, you know why you didn't call or why you didn't write this day. And I was calling at this time and you didn't pick up.
Starting point is 01:23:33 And I'm like, what if the roles were reversed? Was you going to pick up every single call when you was holding down these kids? You work in three jobs, you own in all these different companies. I'm allowed to miss a phone call. So I wasn't shocked to hear him say that because he's, we've had those conversations where he said, like, I appreciate that you have, and I hope that I could do, I don't know. And I don't know if I could.
Starting point is 01:23:54 And I, and I say the same thing. I don't know if I could have either, but I did. So now that we know that I did, let's move past it. Get your mind right to a place where you could be like, without a shadow of a doubt, I'm right here. And another issue that you guys had was him not really appreciating what you do as far as work, right? Because you have been on the front lines. You've been very active. We know you and Tamika Mallory are extremely close. And you've been supporting her cause and been on those front lines as well, getting arrested and all of that. So how have you guys moved forward when it comes to that?
Starting point is 01:24:28 I think it's not that he doesn't appreciate it. I think it's more that he's just scared. You know, me calling him being locked up in jail was one of the hardest calls he had to receive because in that moment, the roles were reversed. And he was like, I'm supposed to do these kids by myself. I got to, you know, wake them up and take them. At that time they were in summer camp, but it was still, they got to be there at eight o'clock in the morning. They need to eat. They need to, you know, be dressed and ready to go. So all of that, having just coming home and having to manage two babies by himself, he
Starting point is 01:24:57 didn't know. And all he knew was that I got a felony charge. So he's like, wait a minute, wait a minute. It's a felony charge. How long are you going to be there? What's happening? He was scared to death. He was scared to death, of course, because he didn't want me in prison. But then also he was scared to death because he was like, I got to do this by myself with these kids. And it was during the pandemic. So it was a lot of
Starting point is 01:25:19 things that was just on his mind. So he was like, you can't just think about everybody else and not think about your family think about your children now i was gonna ask you he wasn't on the page with me getting arrested at all then when i went and got arrested again he was like okay now enough's enough enough is enough now love and hip-hop you've been you're a vet on love and hip-hop i'm a vet on love you still enjoy it are you tired of it now no i i like I like the, for me, this transition was great. I love the people in Atlanta. They inspire me.
Starting point is 01:25:50 You can't be out here and not do something. Everybody out here, you know, owns several businesses. They have establishments. They're really popping. So I had to, you know, New York was great. But for me, it was easy. Out here, it's challenging. so I had to you know New York was great but but for me it was easy out here is challenging like I gotta stay inspired to keep creating and doing things so it definitely calls me higher I saw you guys got a new mayor so how do you feel about he got a new mayor and I had the privilege
Starting point is 01:26:18 of um talking to him the night before the runoff and really you know getting in his all up in his business about like, look, these are some of the issues I'm having. These are some of the things I want. I'm here now. So I can definitely speak to some of the changes I want to see. And I really appreciated his answers. One of my biggest concerns. So I have a store at the underground in Atlanta. If you're from Atlanta or if you visited Atlanta, especially I would say like six years ago ago the underground was the spot in Atlanta it's been closed down for some time but I opened up my location there because
Starting point is 01:26:51 that is the real Atlanta and it's booming you know there's businesses that are opening right now I was like one of the third businesses that opened over there and I think now there's about 15 or 20. There's the homelessness around the area was insane. And I just felt like we needed to really clean up the city. But first, we needed to make sure we provided opportunities for the people in the Atlanta area. You know, it's a lot of homelessness. So he told me the plan, he told me the goals that he has for that. And then another thing for me that was, you know, small businesses are thriving in Atlanta, but I also see gentrification happening and all these tall buildings coming in.
Starting point is 01:27:30 You know, there are some small business owners that are being knocked off the block. So I wanted to know, what are you going to do to combat that and protect us? So we had a good conversation. We had a good conversation. And I think, you know, going into this, it's's always good conversations but then when things start to happen like you know over policing and all the other things that happen we gotta have another conversation but i wanted to make sure i had that communication open with him so we can have these conversations all right we got more with yandy when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:28:08 We're still kicking it with Yandy. Now, you hooked up with Coach Jesse. You about that detox life? You about the detox? Oh, my gosh. I'm about that detox life. This is your first one? Just completely about it.
Starting point is 01:28:19 Detoxing from people. Detoxing from situations. Detoxing from cities and jobs. Whatever it is that I got to do to make sure I am this is the happiest I've ever been I must say you know and I do want to say before we get into Yandy and her detox your sister was actually on the breakfast club with coach Jesse before doing a detox because of her fibroids yes absolutely And it changed her life. My sister has struggled with fibroids and you know that I always mess this up. PCSOS. PCOS. Yes. She has struggled for years with infertility and really trying to just live a full life without pain, without, you know,
Starting point is 01:29:02 excessive bleeding. And until she met coach, now I met coach because I reached out to her for my sister. Cause I was like, something has to give because that affects your mental health. You know? So I reached out to her, like my sister needs something. And I saw, I saw her on the breakfast club and I was like, I don't know if this is my, my sister has had tons of surgeries and I'm like, I need something else. And more was like, I don't know if this is my sister has had tons of surgeries. And I'm like, I need something else. And more than just, you know, the supplement. And I need a whole mental like she just needs a whole mental overhaul to help her with her thinking and her not wanting to give up on her dream of having children. So let me ask you, is this your first detox?
Starting point is 01:29:42 Coach Jesse's was my first, but I started it I think that was like two years ago mm-hmm Which one are you doing now you're doing the seven day to 14 day to 30 day right now I'm doing 30 days the dirty day the 30 day fruit one. I'm doing a 30 day fruit one What day you on um I started it the day after I left well, okay? Let me just keep it real thanksgiving was hard i bet there's no way you did a detox thanksgiving go ahead and lie thank you it was hard okay i i'm not gonna lie thanksgiving was hard i had a little piece of turkey there and look we don't
Starting point is 01:30:16 beat ourselves up when it doesn't every single day no i don't you don't beat yourself up over that i don't i don't and for me, it's a journey, right? I'm a seafood loving something. And I will also do a good piece of steak. But I understand my body and I understand just really wanting to cleanse and all of that stuff. So it's a journey. It's something that I don't just do for 30 days. I actually love some of the meals that I learned from detox living with coach.
Starting point is 01:30:48 So it's been something that's become a part of my lifestyle. It's hard being in Atlanta though. I ain't gonna lie. Atlanta got some great food. Oh my gosh. And then we opened up a restaurant and having, I mean, it's my job. I got to taste out the chef. But the good thing is we have, we added the detox living into our menus. So there's this dish that coach Jesse talked to me about. And if you guys don't know who coach Jesse is, you got to look her up. She's not just about healthy living when it comes to food, but I'm gonna go back really quickly. I met coach Jesse when I was going through a severe
Starting point is 01:31:20 depression. Nobody would know because I was able to get on TV and mask what was happening. And I thought that I was just reaching out to her for my sister. But when she talked to me about, it's not just about what you eat that helps your body, it's the stress you're able to relieve. And I needed to have those conversations. I thought it was for somebody else, but it wound up being something that I needed. And it really just helped refocus my thinking. I had clarity and she helped me with prayer and all of that stuff. And honestly, to detox, you need a little bit of praying. We used to eat the way I eat. So now fast forward, it's become something that is not just an eating thing for me. It's a really taking time to be centered and really figuring out what is my body telling me? What is my mind telling me that I need? So it's been really good. It's been good.
Starting point is 01:32:12 And I second that, Yandy, because a lot of times people don't realize how the food you put in your body affects so much, so many other things. It affects your mood. It affects how you treat other people. It is how you treat yourself. And so I do feel like a lot of times it starts there, you know? Absolutely. And then also women, like we have menstrual periods, right? And having those cramps and those, like that is a horrible feeling. I'm telling you, when I started detoxing and really just monitoring what I'm taking in and what helps that, what helps the growth of fibroids
Starting point is 01:32:45 what shrinks it all of those things affecting my pain level if i'm in pain and i gotta go work i gotta go shoot or i gotta go talk to people at the store or i have to interact with chefs at the restaurant i don't want to talk to you right i want to deal with you i don't want you in my space none of that but when you are able to manage it and you're able to really, like, I know, okay, if it's going to be this time of month, this is what I want to eat. This is what I want to do. Cause I want to make sure I'm not in pain, you know, and being able to have control over that is something that's important too. You're right. Because it also affects how much you bleed because I realized when you change your diet and you eat better, I know you guys aren't going to
Starting point is 01:33:22 know a lot about this. Sorry, Envy. Yeah. Sorry, Envy. But it's good. It's good because you have four daughters. You know, this is good information. But it does affect like the amount of blood, the amount of pain, because you're not supposed to be bleeding that heavily nonstop for a long period of time. And so I'll say for myself, personally, all those things did change when I changed my diet, where to the point where I don't even get cramps at all. Me either. So we do have a podcast detox living and Yandy was actually our first guest. Okay, me and coach Jesse on the detox living podcast where we are going to be talking about things just like this. Yep, yep, yep. I mean, I appreciated that show. I love just the you know, we got so many things that we are entertained with. But to really sit and get
Starting point is 01:34:03 information that's going to help your whole life living is, it's great. And I don't see too many shows like this. So you guys are definitely one in a million. Definitely go follow the podcast. If you haven't, the episode airs tonight, right? Yes, I am. Make sure you go look it up. And I am not paid to promote this thing.
Starting point is 01:34:25 This is something that I really feel strongly about. I really feel like it's something that will spark much conversation. We talked about a lot of stuff. And I was able to just talk freely in a space with you, Angela, and Coach, and just be honest and be real. And I think that it's a needed conversation because so many of us need to start having these conversations, especially after that pandemic. That pandemic was something. And I think a lot of us are still suffering from not just health wise, but mentally what that did to us being isolated and be alone and losing relationships or just having to figure out who are my real friends, who aren't.
Starting point is 01:35:06 All of those things happen during the pandemic. And it needs to, it should be an ongoing conversation. Well, listen, we couldn't have had a better first guest than Yandy on Detox Living with Coach Jesse and Angela Yee. And I thank you for being so vulnerable
Starting point is 01:35:18 and open and always willing to discuss whatever. I commend you for being able to handle things so well and still push on. Thank you, my sister. I appreciate that. Good commend you for being able to handle things so well and still push on. Thank you, my sister. I appreciate that. Good seeing you, Yandy.
Starting point is 01:35:29 Good seeing you, too. You guys be blessed. We'll see you in person soon. Yes, for sure. And make sure you guys look at it tonight. It was a great conversation. Thank you, Yandy.
Starting point is 01:35:38 It's Yandy. All right, bye. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report.
Starting point is 01:35:48 Talk to them. With Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. So get ready for Versus. It's going down tonight. It's Bone Thugs-N-Harmony versus 3-6 Mafia. Y'all excited for that one? Hosted by DJ Scratch. That's going to be dope.
Starting point is 01:36:03 Can't wait for that tonight. What time? So it's 9.30 p.m. dope. Can't wait for that tonight. What time? So, it's 9.30 p.m. Eastern. 9 p.m. Eastern. Okay. So, first it's a resident DJ competition
Starting point is 01:36:11 and then at 10 p.m. Eastern, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony versus 3-6 Mafia. Yeah, who you got? Bone Thugs? 3-6 Mafia? Who you got? Oh my gosh,
Starting point is 01:36:20 that's a tough one. You said Bone Thugs? That's what Nick the Camera Guy said, Bone Thugs? I might have Three 6 Mafia. Also because, look, if Juicy J, yes. Juicy J got all his records. And then DJ Paul, they do have a lot more, I feel like, as solo artists. I don't know. I mean, I just feel like Three 6 Mafia has a lot of records,
Starting point is 01:36:40 but then when they do their individual records, Juicy J got a zillion records. And then what about production and appearances and all that? As I'm saying, Juicy J got a zillion. And then what about production and appearances and all that? That's what I'm saying. Juicy J got a lot. Yeah. All right. Well, that's going to be tonight. So, again, you know how I always feel about verses.
Starting point is 01:36:53 What really matters the most is what they put up against what. Correct. All right. Now, one of the alumni from America's Next Top Model is speaking out and saying they were not paid a penny for being on the show. Sarah Hartshorn is her name. She said they were given a $38 daily cash stipend that they had to use to pay for their own food. She was only 18 when she was cast on the show, and she's 34 now.
Starting point is 01:37:16 She said they didn't even give us a microwave to heat the food up. And they were talking about a bunch of different things. Like they said Tyra Banks made $30 million during a 12-month period as a creator and host of America's Next Top Model. But a lot of the people that were on the show, the contestants, they signed a contract that said that they had to stay. You could break it, but you couldn't just walk out. There were handlers and security and lawyers who threatened us with million-dollar lawsuits if we didn't abide by the contract. How long was that taping? Was it a long taping?
Starting point is 01:37:46 Was it two weeks? Was it a week? Was it three weeks? Was it months? Do we know? It probably depends on how long you last. But I know for some people, they thought it was a great opportunity, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:54 So you get on there, you get seen, people see your face. And hopefully, even if you don't make it, you can still get a lot of, I guess, jobs. Do we know anybody on there that didn't make it and did pretty well? I'm not sure. I mean, there are a lot of people on there that didn't make it and did pretty well? I'm not sure. I mean, there are a lot of people on there that we never heard from again. So they said they had to sign hundreds of contracts, including non-disclosure agreements. And anyone that we wanted to talk to on the phone outside of the show had to sign the NDA as well. She said, my grandfather didn't want to sign it, so I couldn't speak to him for the weeks that we were shooting.
Starting point is 01:38:22 She said she also has no ill will toward Tyra Banks. And she said, I personally don't regret doing the show, but I know that a lot of people who do, and I totally understand where they're coming from. At the time, most of us didn't have the platform or the strength to speak up for ourselves or to leave the show altogether. But I hope this Twitter reckoning resonates with those who did us wrong.
Starting point is 01:38:40 Yeah, well, the only thing with that is when you get that contract, you can decide you don't want to do it. You know what I mean? When they say, we're only going to pay you $40 a day, and you can say, you know what? It's not for me. Yeah. I mean, for food? Anything to give you a microwave?
Starting point is 01:38:52 All right. Now, let's talk about these Spotify numbers. And the end of the year, the top artist songs and albums of 2021 have come out.

Number one on that list, who do you think it is? Justin Bieber. Bad Bunny. Bad Bunny, okay. Justin Bieber was number five. Drake was number four. BTS, number three.
Starting point is 01:39:34 Taylor Swift, number two. I don't know a BTS record. Do any of y'all know a BTS record? I know the one with Meg Thee Stallion. When I think of BTS, I think of Blame It On My Heart. Who sings that? That's Backstreet Boys.
Starting point is 01:39:47 Okay. All right. My bad. And do you know what the most popular podcast globally was? The number one podcast? Mm-hmm. The Breakfast Club. The Joe Rogan Experience.
Starting point is 01:39:57 We were number two, right? We were not on that top five. Oh, damn. Any hip hop on the top five? Anybody in the culture on the top five? No. Oh, damn. Any hip hop on the top five? Anybody in the culture on the top five? Uh, no. Oh, damn. Definitely not. Well, we've been mentioned on Joe Rogan's show many a time, so shout out to Joe Rogan. We have?
Starting point is 01:40:12 Yeah, Don Al goes on there all the time. Oh, okay, Don Al. Alright, now, we were talking about Jussie Smollett earlier and his trial that's happening right now. Well, the jury also did see a video of Jussie Smollett in a dry run the day before the alleged hate attack. Oh, he's going to jail.
Starting point is 01:40:29 He's getting locked up. So he did a dry run. He practiced it out and everything. Yeah, prosecutors are saying that the footage confirms that he faked the attack. Not to say I believed him, but I was just like, well, if there's no evidence, there's no proof. That's what prosecutors are saying. But if there was a dry run, if he was just like, well, if there's no evidence, there's no proof. That's what prosecutors are saying. You can't charge him. It's a dry run. But if there was a dry run, if he practiced before he did it, it's like you rob a house
Starting point is 01:40:49 and you'd be like, you know what, let me go scope out this house first and let me see where the thing is and I'll come back and do it tomorrow. So if he did a dry run, he out of here. All right. Now, Real Housewives of Miami has made history. It's their first ever time having an out lesbian housewife on the show. Here is the trailer. Wow. It's the largest. Here is the trailer.
Starting point is 01:41:05 Wow. It's the largest penthouse in the U.S. How much am I paying for this? $50,000. This is the best city in the entire world. She's my wife. Penthouse out. Let's go. I'm obsessed with my OnlyFans.
Starting point is 01:41:26 What are you up to today? If you're making $10,000 a day, you're showing more. All right, so if you don't know who the woman is, she's a former Russian beauty queen, and she's the first time, you know, ever they've had an out lesbian housewife. So they bring in Miami back. Julia Lemagova is her name. Because I thought Miami, I thought the ratings were trash. It was an eight-year break, and now they're bringing it back.
Starting point is 01:41:46 All right. I thought they said the ratings were trash. Nobody was watching it. So I think Scottie Pippen's wife was on it, right? Larsa Pippen. Yeah, Larsa Pippen was on it. All right. Now, speaking of TV, there's a new trailer for Steve Harvey's courtroom comedy that is coming out.
