The Breakfast Club - Don't Diss Rosa Parks

Episode Date: February 4, 2020

Today on the show we opened up the phone calls after some people were upset with Nicki Minaj referencing Rosa Parks in her new song, so we wanted to know if it was insensitive or not. Also, Charlamagne gave "Donkey of the Day" to yet another Floridian this time after he told his football team to stop acting "black". We also opened up the phone lines after some listeners thought Charlamagne was being a little insensitive this morning when talking about the Superbowl half time show.

Danger. Danger. Everybody come to the breakfast club. I call this the hot seat. Y'all are wild. Y'all are wild. You are out of control. I can't even Hot Seat. Y'all are wild. Y'all are wild. Can I live? You are out of control. I can't even deal with you. Y'all are so petty.

Why are y'all so petty? The world's most dangerous morning show. DJ Envy. Captain of this bitch. Angela Yee. I stay in everybody's business, but in a good way. Charlamagne Tha God. The ruler rubbing you the wrong way.

The Breakfast Club. Made for everybody. Good morning, Angelie. Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. It's Tuesday. Yes, it's Tuesday.

That's right, man. Start, oh, I was about to say the start of another work week. Nope, nope, nope. Start of another work day. Yeah, there you have it. Yeah, today's a good day, though. Yesterday was a traveling day. Leaving Miami, of course, Super Bowl weekend. They said, I believe, like 70,000 or 80,000 people were leaving Miami yesterday.

I heard 90. That many? I mean, the airports were rammed. It wasn't that bad, though. They got people in and out pretty fast. On the news, they were saying get to the airport like five hours early. Yeah, four or five hours early. But it wasn't that bad.

I got there an hour early. I had to check a couple of bags. It wasn't a problem. We got right in. It was pretty easy. So shout out to everybody out in Miami. I thought it was going to be hectic, but it was definitely pretty easy. I had a great time in Miami

again when I got home. I got to see my baby, so I was up all night. So I'm tired still, but it was a great weekend for my son. So I can't wait for him to get to school today and tell all his friends about his weekend. Tell his friends about his weekend. Well, shout out to our Brooklyn Nets. They won last night, 119

to 97 against the Phoenix Suns. It was HBCU night at the, shout out to our Brooklyn Nets. They won last night 119-97 against the Phoenix Suns. It was HBCU night at the Barclays for the Brooklyn Nets. So we had a really fun time. Shout out to Taylor Rooks. She was at the game with me also. And, yeah. HBCU night? Mm-hmm.

And not a player ever went to an HBCU on either one of those teams. Oh, I don't know. Y'all brothers need to start going to HBCU's more. Is that a fact? He don't know that's a fact, but he's positive. He's hit about 99%. I can blindly bet that out of the Brooklyn Nets and the Phoenix Suns, none of those guys probably went to an HBCU on either one of those teams.

Yeah, it's pretty sad. Not too many players who played in a league actually went to an HBCU. I know Rick Mahon, who used to play for the Pistons, he went to Hampton University. That's the only one I can really remember. The only reason I know is because I went to Hampton and I see his jersey all the time. But other than that, I really can't remember any.

But you can still support HBCUs, even if you didn't go to one, by donating, of course. I know. I donated a quarter million dollars to South Carolina State last year. Drop on the clues box for me. And we raised over $800,000 last year for the Thurgood Marshall College Foundation. When are we giving them that big check, by the way?

I like that big check presentation. I need people to see that. All right. I'm not sure. They might have got their money already. Did they get their money already? We're doing it soon. We're doing it soon?

Oh, okay. Let's do it during Black History Month, guys. Let's go on. That would make some marketing sense. I know people here don't focus on marketing too much, but that would make some marketing sense. But you know we always late as people up there, so we probably do March 1st somewhere right there.

Oh, my God. Lord have mercy. Hey, drop on the Clues Bonds for Yo Gotti 2. Yo Gotti, Untrapped album. I'm dope, man. Let me tell you something. I woke up this morning. I was like, man, I can't wait to go see my therapist.

I needed a nice little therapy session, but then I threw on some Oprah's Super Soul conversations, and then that Yo Gotti, Untrapped, and now I feel nice and balanced right now. Balanced. I needed a nice little therapy session. But then I threw on some Oprah Super Soul conversations. And then that yoga idea untrapped. And now I feel nice and balanced right now. Balanced. I feel good. Okay. And I sat down and saw two of my favorite words on my email.

What's that? You paid? You got paid? What's that? Incoming wire. Incoming wire. I figured it was something about money. Goodness gracious.

What kind of laugh is that? Hey, man. Today's a good day. It is a great day. Today's starting off great. All right, well, let's get this show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, let's talk about these Iowa caucus results, or should I say lack of,

and we'll tell you about that delay and what does that mean. Lord have mercy. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news. Where we start, Weezy? Well, let's start with this Iowa caucus. Now, they said the results have been delayed due to inconsistencies. They're saying it's not the result of a hack. It's just a reporting issue. Okay.

According to Mandy McClure, who is the communications director for the Iowa Democratic Party. So I guess they're using some new app to tabulate results and so there were some issues with that and they're also, for the first time, doing three sets of results they have to report and there were some inconsistencies in the reporting of those three sets of results. So they said they do have

photos of results and a paper trail to validate all the results match and they want to ensure that they have accuracy in the numbers that are reported. But in spite of all that, they're saying that the app created to report the results was a mess, and they're saying that a lot of the caucus organizers

were reduced to having to phone in their results to state party headquarters. There was overwhelming calls and gridlock with those phone calls. Yeah, I'm sure it was some type of glitch because the app not reporting the candidate they wanted. Alright, y'all looking forward to November? Like, do you really think the presidential election is going to go off without a hitch

and they can't even get the Iowa caucus right? Jesus Christ, man. Well, a lot of people are now, normally after this, this is when candidates drop out. When they see, okay, it's not going to happen for me, but because we don't know what those results are now, it looks like the candidates are on to the New Hampshire primary, which will be held

next Tuesday. Well, Bernie was supposed to take Iowa last night. That's what the polls were saying. But who knows? What else we got here? Alright, now one person was killed and five people wounded. That's in a they were on a California Greyhound bus going from LA to San Francisco Oakland area. And

a man, an unidentified man, was taken into custody. He has been identified, the suspected gunman, as Anthony Devante Williams, 33, of Capitol Heights, Maryland. His parents loved Joe to see growing up. Anthony Devante. All right. So after he opened fire, the bus driver did pull over. A lot of people are saying the bus driver was a hero because he was able to persuade the shooter to get off the bus.

The suspect did voluntarily get off the bus. He left his handgun behind. And then officers did locate him on the shoulder and took him into custody without incident. And they're still trying to investigate what this was. Do they know why? One of the witnesses said that he was on the bus with his girlfriend and he noticed the suspect right away. He said that he was talking loudly and incoherently when he got on the bus. Got into an argument with somebody

who asked him to quiet down and then he started muttering, wait till we get to the station. Suddenly he heard, F you, F all of you. And I heard a gun cock and eight to nine rounds let off. So they're still investigating. They got into an argument basically. Yeah, basically there

was an argument and he kept saying, wait till we get to the station. I don't know if they knew each other. And another unfortunate tragic news. Two women were killed and a toddler was wounded. And that was inside of a residence hall at Texas A&M University Commerce, according to university police. Right now, investigators have not released a motive in the shooting and have not said what suspects they are looking for, but officers arrived at the co-ed freshman

residence hall and they found the bodies of two women and an injured two-year-old child inside one of the rooms. Wow. Wow, wow, wow. Let me ask you guys a question. I just thought about this, right? You think there should be metal detectors in the train station? There should be metal detectors everywhere. In the world that we live in right now where gun violence can happen at any given moment, there should be metal detectors in the train stations? There should be metal detectors everywhere. In the world that we live in right now, where gun violence can happen at any given moment,

there should be metal detectors anywhere there is a high population of people. I was just talking about that. Yeah, you know, because you think about it. You go on a train, you don't know who's sitting next to you. You don't know what they have. Or you're on a bus, you don't know what they have or what's on them. You really don't know. You ever walk into a building sometime and you be like,

if I got in here with Dad, imagine what other people got. I've never thought that. All right, guys. What did you say, Steve? All jokes aside, wherever there's a high population of people, there should be metal detectors. I don't care if it's a church. I don't care if it's an elementary school.

I don't care if it's a bus station, malls. Anywhere there's a high population of people, there should be metal detectors. I don't care if it's a church. I don't care if it's an elementary school. I don't care if it's a bus station, malls. Anywhere there's a high population of people, there should be metal detectors. It should be like the airport, bro. Metal detectors in court should be metal detectors at the airport. There's metal detectors at the games. There's metal detectors at the game you went to last night.

Stop protecting entertainment venues better than you protect just regular venues that public people go. You go to a concert, you can't just walk to a concert like that. You can't just walk into a sporting event like that. Treat the church and the mall and the schools the same exact way. God damn it. I'm with you. Manage to hit a metal plate or something on you, though.

You'd be getting stopped all the time. It's worth it. All the time. It's worth it. Yeah, you just got to give yourself a little extra time. There's no just rushing to catch a train because you'd have to go to metal detectors. But anyway, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

If you need to vent, hit us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this?

Yo, Envy, what's shaking, man? It's Mello. Mello, what's up, bro? Yo, man, I'm surprised nobody spoke about this. Did y'all hear Trump saying congratulations to, like, the great state of Kansas? Yeah, he won the Super Bowl. Yeah, everybody saw that, sir. Nah, but nobody was really talking about it like that. That's ridiculous.

Yes, they were. Why do black people do that? Why do we say nobody and everybody? It was everybody. Like, literally, I saw a lot of people talking about that. We're great, and we have to exaggerate everything. Everything is hyperbolic with us because we're great. That's why.

Hyperbolic? Everything's what? We have to be hyperbolic. We have to exaggerate. No, no. Hyperbole. What's the other word you use? I mean, hyperbolical might be a word.

I know it's a form of hyperbole. Hyperbolic means to exaggerate. Okay. Come on, man. I'll rock with you. I just want you to put that word in your book. Hyperbole. I've never heard it said hyperbolic, but I know what you mean, so it counts.

That is a real word. Look it up. I believe you, bro. I just doubted you. I didn't know that's what you were asking. Nah, I was just saying, black people, we're hyperbolic. That's why we have to say everybody and nobody. We have to say everything. That's who we are as people. Hyperbolic is dope. I heard that's a chamber

in the endgame. They go into the hyperbolic chamber, and that's how you get your powers. Hyperbolic. That's not... Charlamagne, you killing me, man. Nello, you have a good morning, bro. All right, you too, brodies. I'll catch y'all later. Hello, who's this?

And Bad Bunny. He did a great job. Didn't y'all know Sean Stone was performing, too? Yeah, they had you locked up in the cage because of the way Trav destroyed you. So they had to put you away so nobody could see you. Well, hold on. Let me give a shout-out to all the sanitation workers out there, man, that's doing the job.

You know what I mean? Envy, don't be afraid to tip your sanitation worker, man, around your area, man. I tip my guys all the time. Actually, I tip them once a year. I tip them during Christmas, man. That's when I tip them. Screech say the sanitation workers don't want no shout-outs from you because your rhymes are s***.

Goodness gracious, Charlemagne. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Jay from Jacksonville. Hey, Jay. What up? Get it off your chest, bro. Man, I'm so sick of people telling me to stay single just because I'm young, man. They act like people can't find who they want at a young age, man.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Her name's Serena. She goes to college with me at Jacksonville University. That's beautiful, man.

You better hold on to her. I'm telling you, man. It ain't crazy. I called y'all the other day about my ex who helped my family at the gunpoint. Remember? Oh, my God. I think I remember something like that. You're 20, but you have an ex already that's already held the family at gunpoint? Yeah, she was the one that robbed me.

She's the crazy one. Remember, I told y'all I wasn't there. Yes, I remember. So how long have you been with this one who's the one now? We've been together almost a year and a half. Okay. All right. Well, good luck, bro.

Get it off your chest. Man, I got to get a couple things off my chest. Number one, it's crazy. You guys were just talking about how we got to support our HBCUs and our main goal. So I'm not sure if you remember, but first of all, hey, Angela. Hey. ACJNB. Uncle Charlotte.

First, I'd like to say, man, you're a late cookie, boy, because they thought they wasn't going to hear me on the radio. Hallelujah. You know about that, man. Them boys crazy now. Them boy crazy now. Them boy crazy now.

Don't get boxed in your mouth. I'm an author of the number one black Gullah Geechee urban story, The Black Rose, The Cush, and my positive affirmation, I know, Charlamagne, you like mantras. The mantra I'd like to just give you is, I am that I am. I am love. I am life. that I am. I am love. I am life.

I am light. I am liberation. That's called the four L's. That's the square. You always hear in the Geechee, people say, you standing on your square, boy? Standing on your square now. Standing on your square. You got to be standing on your square.

That's the 360 degrees. God gave us love, and through love, we create life. And in this life, we must find our life. Through our life, we find liberation. Absolutely. For hell. Alright, brother. I appreciate you, King. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. 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. Why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves.

What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help. We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max.

You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real inspiring stories from the people, you know, follow and admire join me every week for post run high. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to post Run High on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.

This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk future.

She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. All right, now, Future is suing the woman that says they have a child together, Eliza Serafin. Now, according to the lawsuit, he's saying that she's been sharing intimate facts about him and talking about their private sexual relationship to, quote, gain clout and to get money from him. He does not address whether or not they do have a child together, talking about their private sexual relationship to, quote, gain clout and to get money from him. He does not address whether or not they do have a child together, but he did say they had a sexual relationship from 2016 to 2018. And he said he would have never slept with her in the first place if he knew she would do all this.

She's been doing interviews where she gave a vivid description of his genitals. Disgusting. And in the suit, he also says that Eliza is spreading lies about him on social media, like the time she said that he hired someone to murder her because she wouldn't get an abortion, and he says it is hurting his brand and

causing him substantial emotional distress. That's right. So he wants her to stop trashing his name publicly, and he wants damages. Listen, I don't know what's true and what's not true, but I know I'm glad that he's taking back his power. Take back your power, King. Okay, all that kissing and telling, that man's privacy has been

violated. Can you sue somebody to be quiet? For defamation and privacy, you can sue, yes. So, don't know where this is going to go. We don't even know if he's truly the father of her child or not. Because he still has to take that DNA test, but they did have a sexual relationship, so I'm

sure it's possible, and he's not straight out denying that. And describing my penis to people? Why would you do such a thing? We do that every morning up here. Small. Like, what's the matter with that? Wait, who? If you're small, cool, envy. But that's you talking about yourself. That's not you! No, I'm seven inches, three, four. How do you even know? Eight in the summertime. He tells us every morning.

No, I don't, actually. All right, well, let's move on. Let's talk about Halsey while she was performing, and we played this audio for you the other day. She was on stage upset because somebody kept screaming out G-Eazy's name. If you say G-Eazy one more time, I'll kick you on the side of the stage. Oh, you can't. I love you. You want to get out of the crowd?

Who is it? It's you? All right, well, underneath her post, she actually left a comment. I see you all in the comments, and I know you think you're funny because you're at home on your iPhone, and I'm not a real human being to you. I hope to God you never have to experience an abusive relationship, and if you do, I hope the world is kinder to you than you are to me. So I guess that's her way of saying. I think it's going to make it worse. At any time she performs now, somebody's going to scream out his name. Yeah, but she's letting you know why that

triggers her though. She says she's in an abusive relationship. They're going to keep triggering her. Basically, she's saying pray for Meg to style you. Okay. And I hope G-Eazy don't get to style you on that white horse, by the way. G-Eazy. Alright, now Moneybagg Yo and Ari, this is all relationship stuff right now, by the way. Moneybagg Yo and Ari Fletcher, there was video footage of them.

And allegedly they were in a physical altercation in Miami Super Bowl weekend. And according to several witnesses, they were on social media with claims that, quote, I just seen Ari straight up running after Moneybagg Yo and punch him in the face. Somebody said Ari just hit Moneybagg Yo and he just snatched her wig off on my mama in the middle of the street. And there are some videos that have been circulating. It's not that clear. So you can't really tell what happened. But Moneybagg Yo did hop on his Instagram live and he is still in a relationship.

Everybody's in good spirits. Everything is positive. You know, are you single? No. So just so you know, he is not single. So apparently no matter what happened, he is still in a relationship. None of that is cool, though. Everybody needs to keep their hands to themselves.

If that was the reverse, if it was Moneybagg, you're running up in the street to punch Ari, it'd be World War III, all over social media, he'd be canceled, yada, yada, yada. So the same energy got to apply. Everybody keep their hands to themselves. All right, now, Pamela Anderson was married for 12 days. So according to People Magazine, you know, she married a film producer, John Peters, and she had posted it on her page. And 12 days later, it was over.

And what happened, according to people close to the couple, they said they've known each other for more than 30 years. They had never lived together. Living with someone you truly get to know, then Pam's a romantic, but she is also very independent. This all moved a bit fast. So they both agreed to put it off. And she posted, I've been moved by the warm recession to John and my union. We would be

very grateful for your support as we take some time apart to reevaluate what we want from life and from one another. Life is a journey and love is a process with that universal truth in mind. We have mutually decided to put off the formalization of our marriage certificate and put our faith in the process. Thank you for respecting our privacy. So what they are saying, they have not yet filed the legal paperwork for that marriage certificate after their wedding. So I guess right now they don't have to,

I don't know what, they got married, but they don't have the certificate. So I guess they're not officially married. I have no idea who the hell you're talking about. You don't know who Pamela Anderson is? Yes, I do. From Baywatch,

who was married to Tommy Lee? Oh yeah, the 90s. Right. But I don't know her about? You don't know who Pamela Anderson is? Yes, I do. From Baywatch? Who was married to Tommy Lee? Oh, yeah. The 90s. Right. But I don't know her husband. I don't know why I should care about this. Well, it was a big story because they got married for only 12 days. And he also was the producer for A Star is Born in 1976 and the remake that just came out with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga.

So he's pretty much a big deal, too. It's Black History Month. I don't care. So, yes. So, anyway, history month. I don't care. So, yes. So, anyway, 12-day marriage didn't happen. And a lot of times people do move really quickly, right? We see people, oh, getting married. We went to Vegas.

We did it on a whim and didn't work out. But unfortunately for them, this didn't work out either. Mm-hmm. All right. I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. We got front page news next. What are we talking about?

We're going to talk about the 10 best-selling shoes of 2019. What do you think was number one? Okay. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get in some front page news. Where are we starting, Yee? Well, let's start off with the top 10 best-selling sneakers of 2019. If you could guess what was number one on that list. I think Travis Scott sneakers. No, yeah, Travis Scott.

Is that a number one? Are they Nike Air Max 270s? No. Well, then no. Number two on the list was a Nike Air Force One Low. You know what? Travis Scott might have been too limited for that to be number one, though. You're right.

There's no way that could happen. I figured the Air Force Ones would be top five. Now, if you were wondering where the Yeezy, the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2, those were number six on the list. Converse came in at number eight with Chuck Taylors. But basically, Nike dominated

this list. I think at number four, Adidas NMD R1. Like I said, number six was the Yeezys. Number seven, the Vans Ward. That's a very popular shoe also. Everybody has those. And then the Chuck Taylors at number eight. Everything else, the Nikes and Jordans.

Where's Jordans? What number were the Jordans on? Number ten, the Jordan 11 Retro. 11 Retros, okay. So those are the most popular sneakers of 2019. Alright, now let's talk about these Iowa caucus results or, okay. Yeah, so those are the most popular sneakers of 2019. Alright, now let's talk about these Iowa caucus results, or like I say, the lack of results. It's the first contest

in the Democratic race to challenge Donald Trump and it didn't go so well. So there is a new app and they're saying that there were all kinds of glitches. So you were required to report three sets of results, but things just did not work out as expected. There were inconsistencies in the reporting of the three sets of results, but things just did not work out as expected. There were inconsistencies in the reporting of the three sets of results.

They do say they have photos of the results and a paper trail so they can validate that everything matches, and they want to make sure the numbers are accurate. So the problem was not a hack. It was a reporting issue. So it was because of the app. And they want to make sure that people know that. Mandy McClure,

who's the communications director for the Iowa Democratic Party said the app did not go down. This is not a hack or an intrusion. The underlying data and paper trail is sound and will simply take time to further report the results. I don't know what it was but I know it's not good and from what I'm reading this morning

the turnout in Iowa was still not as high as 2008 which should be a major concern because all those candidates combined should have been able to get record turnout. So that should really, really, really, really, really, really signal a problem for the Democratic Party. Yeah, they got to figure out what's going to happen moving forward. People are not energized at all. All right. At the Staples Center, there was a huge memorial that the public created outside of the Staples Center. And they did just start cleaning up all the flowers, balloons, jerseys,

stuffed toys and basketballs just this morning. And they did put a fence around the site to keep the cleanup out of public view. They did say some of those items will be shipped to his family, I guess, depending on what it is. But the memorial just kept on growing and growing and growing for a week. There were personal messages that were written on many of the items. But fans were now urged to donate to the Bryant Foundation rather than bringing more gifts and flowers

because it's just too much to handle. So if you want to do anything, you can donate to that Bryant Foundation. That should do a designated area. Kind of like, I don't know where it is where they put the locks on the fence. Like something designated where people can sign, people can touch, where people can actually go do it instead of just putting it all over the Staples Center. It's just so massive. They said there were more than 1,350 basketballs that had been boxed up by the middle of the morning.

Wow. When is the funeral? I don't know if they've given that information yet. I haven't heard them announce any of the funerals. They were discussing even where they were going to have it because they need some place, obviously huge, to accommodate everybody that will want to go out and show some love. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Front Page News.

All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, let's have a conversation about Nicki Minaj. Now, open up social media. Get off Nicki Minaj's D, son. Open up. The Bobs already think you'd be on Nicki's D, son. No, we're talking about this song that she just put out. It's trending on social media. Get off Nicki Minaj's D, son. Open up. The Bobs already think you be on Nicki's D, son. Nah, we talking about this song that she just put out.

It's trending on social media right now, and it's because of this line right here. Pull up pants, pull up stash stuff, flip the facts up, all you bitches supposed to pop. Uh-oh, get your ass up. Why does the quality sound like that? She played it on her, I believe, on social media.

Yeah, she was just in the studio, and you could see her. Yeah, so it was trending all day yesterday, and I know this morning as well. People were, I guess, maybe upset about that line that she did. Can you hear it one more time? What was the line? Pull up pants, pull up stashed up, flip the facts up,

all you bitches, roll the pox, uh-oh, get your ass up. All you bitches, roll the pox, get your ass up? Yep. What, are people overly sensitive because it's Black History Month? Yeah. What's the conversation happening? Well, let's talk about it.

Let's get some of these reactions. Why is it trending? Are people upset? Is that what it is? Isn't it Rosa Parks' birthday too? Yep. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. 800-585-1051.

What do you guys think? I thought it was just a punchline. I wasn't personally thinking that it was anything to be, you know, people do that all the time in hip hop. And let's not forget, OutKast did a whole song called Rosa Parks. And, you know, although I think they did get sued for that, right? Wasn't that an issue when it happened? I have no idea. But what was the context of the OutKast song?

Everybody moved to the back of the bus. Everybody moved to the back of the bus. Yeah, but I don't have a... I mean, it's to the point now everybody's so sensitive. I mean, I'm from a place where everybody used punchlines as soon as something happened. If something happened tragic or something happened that was going on in the world, I used it as a punchline.

So, I don't... Nikki's rapping. What's the problem? I got to hear it some more. Let me see. Let me hear it a couple more times. I think it's also important to hear everything else around it. Like, we just heard that little snippet.

Yeah, exactly. There's no context to it. All you bitches, Rosa Parks. Are they mad because she's using Rosa Parks? It's just so close together. Are they upset because it's Rosa Parks' birthday, a Black History Month? Like, I'm trying. I need more context.

Tell you one more time for me. We wouldn't want Rosa Parks to get her ass up, though, because Rosa Parks sitting down is what sparked, you know, one of the greatest boycotts in American history. So you wouldn't want Rosa Parks to get her ass up. I got to think about this one. Yeah, people are saying that she clowned Rosa Parks. I thought it was a punchline, but people do get sensitive about our icons.

I wouldn't tell Rosa Parks to get her ass up. I would actually want her to sit down, because that's what sparked the whole movement. I don't know. You to get her ass up. I would actually want her to sit down. Because that's what sparked the whole movement. I don't know. You really gonna dive this deep into it? Y'all niggas are discussing the topic so I'm just going along. It was trended all morning long. And I'm trying to see why

it's trending and why people upset. So if I'm diving deep, let me deep dive. Maybe we need other people to call and weigh in to explain. Yeah, maybe somebody can give us some context. It is also Rosa Parks' birthday today. People were thinking maybe she would drop the song today and it would just have everybody in a frenzy. But let's see what you think about Yikes.

Yeah, because my personal feeling is I don't have an issue with it, but if I had to find the issue, it would be like I wouldn't tell Rosa Parks to get her ass up. Well, I did say Yikes. Okay. Well, 800-585-1051. Let's talk about it. All right, let's discuss.

Call us up. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Pull out your phone. Call in right now. Call me. Add your opinion to The Breakfast Club topic. Break it down.

I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tried my country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong?

Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.

Listen to Post Run High on the remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves, for self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth,

gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's topic time. Pick up the phone, baby. or wherever you get your podcasts. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about a new Nicki Minaj song

that came out called Yikes. Now, in the song, she said this. And I couldn't understand why it was trending this morning. Her name was trending and I was like, well, let's talk about it. So 805-851051, Ye, what are your thoughts about it? To be honest, like I didn't I thought it was just a punchline, but I know it is Black History Month. I know people do get very sensitive about a lot of things, so I wasn't offended by it.

I didn't think it was that bad. I thought it was just a punchline. It was a punchline, and I didn't see a problem with it. I mean, Nicki Minaj is a rapper. That's what she does. She throws punchlines and things, and there's been so many rappers that have used Rosa Parks' name before, whether it was Outkast who did a song, Method Man, I believe Redman, Logic.

What's the context, though? Context matters, though. You can't just say Outkast did a song. Like, you know, was Outkast disrespectful? Uh-huh, what's that for? Everybody moved to the back of the bus. That's not disrespectful. And you know they did sue and had a settlement with Outkast.

Who sued Outkast? Rosa Parks' whole estate. Well, that's probably because he used the name. You know what I mean? The name of the song? Yeah, they used the name to sell the song. But not necessarily because it was disrespectful or offensive. Look, I have hip-hop sensibilities.

I'm not as sensitive to things as a lot of people are. I try to step outside of things and see why this could be considered insensitive. The only thing I could think of is probably because she used the B word right next to Rosa Parks and then she told everybody to get their ass up because we actually do want Rosa Parks to sit down because that's what sparked the movement and because it's Black History Month and it's Rosa

Parks' birthday, that's probably why people are upset, but I'm the wrong person to ask about, you know, people saying things that people don't agree with because this one doesn't bother me. Nah, me neither. Well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? This is Denae.

Hey, good morning. Good morning, good morning. We're talking about Nicki Minaj's line in her new joint, Yikes. I think that because of Black History Month, it may be a little, you know, too much. But Rosa Parks was told to get up. So that punchline just was a little much. Like, she was told to get up.

She stayed seated. So I can understand the outrage and why everybody's upset. And she was told to get up by a crack-ass cracker. So hearing that from a black woman could probably piss some people off, is what you're saying. My goodness. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Lisa.

Lisa, good morning. Good morning, how are you? Good morning. We're talking about Nicki Minaj's line in Yikes. Yes, my comment was that I thought Charlamagne hit it on the head that it was just, it was worded in the wrong way. If she was telling the other rappers to stay your ass down, then that would make sense. But saying

like Rosa Parks to get up, it doesn't make sense. Even though it's a first line, she used it in the wrong way. Yeah, she was on the wrong side. She was on the side of the oppressor when she should have been on the side of the oppressor. She said sit your ass down, Rosa Parks. That would have made sense. But saying get your ass up,

that's what the white man said to Rosa. So, yeah. I think y'all looking too deep into it. I guess she's telling these other rap chicks to get your ass up, and she's saying like... Get your ass up like Rosa Parks. They told Rosa Parks to get your ass up. Yeah, the white man told Rosa to get her ass up. We didn't want Rosa

to stand up. The only thing is that Rosa didn't get up. Exactly. We wanted Rosa to sit down. I think y'all looking too deep in this. Hello, who's this? Bianca from the Bronx. Hey, Bianca. What you think? So, I think Nicki Minaj is a little shit that was fire.

It definitely has me anticipating her album. Like, when I heard it, I went crazy. I was like, oh, my God. Nicki's back with some bars. For real, for real. Like, it was like real street stuff. It wasn't like her typical poppy shit. Like, it was dope.

Okay. And, Ann, can I just say that, to see the guys, honestly, yesterday, you really had me in my bag. Because when you were slandering the Puerto Rican people and the culture and making fun of our language and saying how the halftime show was too Spanish-y,

it was not cool. I never said that! I never said it was too Spanish-y. I said I liked the halftime performance. You didn't say too many positive things about it. And you were that? I never said it was too Spanish. I said I liked the halftime performance. You didn't say too many positive things about it. And you was making fun of the Spanish language. Like, ojo, people, whatever you were saying.

You wasn't being too positive about it. That is not true. You're making things up. I was clowning Drom, who was in the studio. He's Latino. I actually said. It didn't matter because I heard the same thing you were saying. I went to work and I heard my predominantly white atmosphere saying the same thing. So it was corny.

You did not hear me say anything about this halftime show being too Spanishy. I would not let you put words in my mouth like that. You were saying crappy stuff. That's not true. She found a way about it. Stop my drum. Did I say anything bad about the halftime performance? You supported the halftime performance.

Maybe what she might be talking about is the broken Spanish. Don't defend because it's in your chest. I know, I know. Don't affect it. Don't affect it. Vamanos. Nah, I mean, maybe the broken Spanish might have been a little much for some people. What broken Spanish?

When you're saying uno and the numbers and all that kind of stuff. Uno? I can't say uno? Listen, man, come on. I can't say dos? Not if you have two cards in your hand. I can't say tres? So time out.

Black people can't speak Spanish now? No. That's what you're saying? I think she means not in a way to make fun of it. That's not making fun. Knock it off. I'm not letting y'all do this to me. No, that didn't happen.

I love Spanish people. I love brown people. I get what she's saying because people make fun of how Chinese people talk. Where did Chinese people come from in this conversation? I'm trying to say what she's saying is culturally, people make fun of certain things. Just like for me, you know, people make fun of how Chinese, I'm half Chinese. People make fun of that all the time, so I get it. There's not a school

in America that does not teach Spanish nowadays. Everybody's bilingual. Growing up, like, it wasn't cool to speak Spanish, so, around, like, black people, when I was going to school. Those days are over. And then when you say that, you're making it sound extra. Like, it was just not cool. It was whack. It was whack.

It really was. Okay, so I'll never speak Spanish ever again. They're not saying that you can't speak Spanish, man. That's what she said. Like, think about that. She said I shouldn't say unos. No, she said not in a mocking way. It's not mocking.

I said go to line uno. Go to line dos. Go to line tres. Say yes. I think people forget this is entertainment at the end of the day. I said go to line uno. Go to line dos. Go to line tres. Say yes. I think people forget this is entertainment at the end of the day as well. So when we're all joking around, we all clown each other at the end of the day. So you're not saying anything offensive.

You're not saying anything crazy. I get it. We're all making jokes on Jess, and we have to understand that, that this is entertainment at the end of the day. And the fact that you guys gave me your platform to speak on something that I was passionate about also shows that you guys were behind us. People have to recognize that. Joke is a joke. We all make fun of each other behind the scenes here and

on the mic and that's what you have to look at. That's right. We could have built a wall around you. Except for the conversation. Puerto Rico is in the United States. What line do you want to go to now, huh? What line? This guy's a jerk, man. 800-585-1051. I don't even know what we're talking about.

Oh, Nicki Minaj. We're talking about her song, Yikes. I don't know what happened. All right, let's play a clip right fast. What do you think? It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's topic time.

Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. If you just joined us, we're talking about Nicki Minaj. She was trending this morning, so we found out why. She released a snippet of her joint, Yikes, and she said this. And people are upset about it.

Let's go to the phone lines and get your thoughts. Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Haifa. Good morning. Haifa, good morning. Hi. I love you guys. I listen to y'all every morning.

You guys are amazing. Thank you very much. So what are your thoughts on Nicki Minaj's new joint? Okay, as someone who listens to Nicki a lot, I feel like it was taken out of context possibly, like Enzo was saying earlier. And what if by chance she's referring to women she deems as, like, lower caliber or, you know, basically like basic.

And then she's just saying that you think that you have, like, whatever you're doing, you think it's a cause, and you like Rosa Parks, and you have something to stand, you have something to sit down for? Nah, you need to stand your ass up and get out of here. Okay, I can see that double entendre there. Now, you went way deeper than me. No, listen.

I mean, I'm just trying to keep up with you guys. Okay. Basically, what you're saying is she called Rosa Parks basic. No. No, she called Rosa Parks icon. And she said those girls

are not on her level and they have to move out the way. Right, so she's saying the other girls got to get up, but not Rosa Parks. Right, they're not on Rosa Parks level. They acting like they are,

but they're not. But didn't she call the women Rosa Parks in the song? Maybe she's calling herself Rosa Parks. But didn't she say the women Rosa Parks in the song? Maybe she's calling herself Rosa Parks. But didn't she say, yo, Rosa Parks, get your ass up? I don't know. That don't make no sense.

I thought she said Rosa Parks. It's kind of like you think. Like you think you Rosa Parks. It's kind of like a thing of saying you think you a Rosa Parks type, but you're not. Get your ass up. Okay. I'm going to tell you what we didn't think about this topic this morning. Okay?

We didn't put no thought into this one. We just threw this one out in the air and see what happens. Hello, who's this? What's your name? Darrell. What's up, bro? We're talking about this Nicki Minaj line that people seem like they're upset about. What are your thoughts?

I mean, I think it's not so much about Rosa Parks. It's a metaphor. It's more so about, you know, females with flat asses. She's saying, get your ass up. Okay, so in other words, get your ass up. I love and hate black people all at the same time. My God.

That's what you got out of it, sir? Yeah, I feel like it's a metaphor. Okay. He's not the only one who thought that. Someone else in the studio. The beauty of art is everybody has their own interpretation of it. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Keyzo Insane from Chesapeake, Virginia.

How y'all doing this morning? Hey, what's up, bro? All right, what do you think about this Nicki Minaj line? To be honest, I'm torn, man, because I see where people feel in some type of way, because, of course, Black History Month, of course. But at the same time, it's just a line. All she said was, get your ass up, excuse my language. But that's all she said.

She could have said a lot worse. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't like the Black History Month excuse either, because all that means is it's okay to disrespect black icons any other month, but just not Black History Month. Like, if you're going to be mad, be mad all the time. I'm not mad at it, but if you're going to be mad about stuff like this, be mad all the time, not just Black History Month.

And that's what tears me apart about it, Charlamagne, because that don't make no sense, because that's exactly true. If you're saying you can do it any other month, why can't you do a Black History Month until you shouldn't be able to do it at all? Yeah, the timing shouldn't matter. Yeah. If it was four days ago this month.

But by the way, happy birthday to Rosa Parks. Today is her birthday. Goodness gracious. Well, here's the thing. One thing that *** rarely make is sense. My goodness. What's the moral of the story? Was that your moral?

Yes. All right. Yes, it is. All right. We's the moral of the story? Was that your moral? Yes. All right. Yes, it is. All right. We on a roll today, baby. We got rumors on the way? Yes, let's talk about Monique. She did an open letter to Oprah.

That's my favorite part of that song, actually. What's that? I just mind my business. But that's not true. Do what? Mind your business.

That's a damn lie. I do mind my business. Yee, we got rumors on the way? Yes, we do. We are going to be talking about Monique versus Oprah. Monique has an open letter that she wants Oprah to respond to. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Monique has an open letter to Oprah.

And she said, Dear Oprah, I felt compelled to write you this open letter after observing the disparity and the way that you seem to treat people who were accused of the same allegations. You did an interview on the CBS Morning Show and were asked about Harvey Weinstein by Nora O'Donnell. And you said, as it pertained to him, that you always try to look at the rainbow and the clouds, whatever is the silver lining. You also said, if we make this all about Harvey Weinstein then we have lost the moment when you either are or were going to be a part of a documentary on Michael Jackson and Russell Simmons how is that not making it all about them interestingly brother MJ was acquitted and deceased so how is he not off limits Russell and Harvey are accused of the same thing so in

fairness how do you not support the accusers of both, as you said you did with Russell Simmons, or you look for the silver lining for both, like you said you did for Harvey Weinstein? The only difference between the two is their skin color and doesn't Harvey Weinstein have way more accusers? My personal experience with you is you've watched me as a black woman be accused of being difficult for not promoting Precious internationally for Lionsgate, at Lionsgate, Tyler Perry, and your request,

despite the fact my deal was with Lee Daniels Entertainment. And how are you for black women when you hear Tyler on audio saying I was right and he was going to speak up, but you or him still haven't said a word? She also says, when I was 16 and I met you at your local show in Baltimore, I told you I wanted to be just like you when I grew up. You responded, you have to work really hard. My 16-year-old self didn't know that you and your silence in the face of wrongdoing would make my life harder. That letter would have been great.

It was a lot of fair points made in that letter. And it would have been fair points that I would not have dismissed just because they came from Monique. But it's hard to hear that from Monique because we know Monique has a longstanding problem with Oprah, which she came back to in that letter. And she said, love you to life, Monique. She could be really feeling that way, because a lot of people do. Yeah, but it's still all about her at the end of the day. And that's why she finished it with what she said, with her long-standing

problem. But, you know, God bless Monique. Wish her the best. Her stand-up special comes out on Friday on Showtime. Monique and friends, please go watch it. We need Monique to move forward. Sometimes we can allow our setbacks to become our identities, and I think that's what's happening here. So We need Monique to move forward. Sometimes we can allow our setbacks to become our identities. And I think that's what's happening here. So please watch Monique's special on Showtime this Friday at 10 p.m.

It's called Monique and Friends. Well, I will be watching. All right. Now, speaking of Oprah, that documentary on Russell Simmons that Monique references in that open letter is going to come out. Now, you know, Oprah has stepped away from it. And it's about sexual assault allegations against Russell Simmons. Now, that is called On the Record. And it's about sexual assault allegations against Russell Simmons. Now, that is called On the Record, and it will be on HBO Max.

It's the new streaming service, and it's the streaming service's first ever festival purchase. So they have purchased that. So you can see it on HBO Max. Okay. All right. Now, Wendy Williams is weighing in on Beyonce and Jay-Z not standing up during the national anthem at the Super Bowl. And here's what she said. Everyone was standing like this is only a picture. But when they were performing, if you all saw the actual perform ends, people were standing up as the bombs burst in air. You know, you put a hand over your heart. I don't know about you, and our country might be in a bad way, but there's no place I'd rather live than America.

Jay-Z and Beyonce, you understand all eyes are on you, and you should have stood up. If you don't like our country, then anywho, let's move on. So Wendy can't stand Colin Kaepernick, then? If she mad at Jay and Beyonce for not standing up, then she hates the fact

that Colin Kaepernick took a knee. But they, you know, that's incorrect because they were not the only ones that weren't standing. It's ridiculous. Everybody around them wasn't standing either. Yeah, why are they ignoring all of the people that were sitting around them as well? It was white people sitting around them who didn't stand up. Like, this is about celebrity. And a lot of people don't really approve of the national anthem.

But you don't have to stand. I thought that was the whole idea of this country. Right, you have a choice. You have a choice to do what you want to do. That's the point of the country is you do have a choice. Absolutely. We don't even know why they didn't stand up. Jay-Z is 50 years old.

He might be tired. Beyonce might have had some heels. Like, I'm not standing in these heels because I've done that. We don't know why they didn't want to stand. Like, why everybody jumped to these conclusions? And nobody else was standing right there. So, I don't know. We don't know why they didn't want to stand. Like, why everybody jumped to these conclusions? And nobody else was standing right there. So, I don't know. All right.

But speaking of the Super Bowl, Jennifer Lopez was discussing that halftime show. And here's what she had to say. I was happy to stand up there with Shakira, two Latin women, two women, two working moms, who did one of the best Super Bowls of all time. I know how special it is to be able to go out there and hold up an American flag and hold up a Puerto Rican flag and have my daughters sing with me. Yeah, baby. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And to represent women and single moms and working moms. All right. Now, some people thought, of course, that Jennifer Lopez and Shakira's halftime show was too sexy. Those people, for instance, Billy Graham's Evangelistic Association. Oh, God. They said that I don't expect the world to act like the church, but our country has had a sense of moral decency on primetime TV. In order to protect our children, we see that disappearing before our eyes.

It was demonstrated in tonight's Pepsi Super Bowl halftime show with millions of kids watching. Exactly. You can't be too sexy, right? Like, you're either sexy or you're not. I mean, they were dancing and they were clothed. I don't understand. They're sexy women. But, you know, Super Bowl, they always

do get a lot of criticism, no matter what happens during the halftime show. Yeah, because they always say kids are watching. Everybody always has a problem. By the way, Latino, I don't know what you call it. What do you call it? Salsa? Salsa is sexy. It's sexy. It's sensual. Right? Okay. Show us that move again. Huh? You did a little

move with it. I ain't do no move. But it's sensual. So yeah, it's going to look sexy. It is sexy. Alright, so yeah, some people course, have something to say. Now, Floyd Mayweather has been accused of assault, even though he never touched the person. This is crazy. Now, 32-year-old Rico Kimbaro says that he saw Floyd standing at the valet at the Fountain Blue, and he asked for a picture.

But Floyd said, I can't even get a good morning first. And that's when, according to the police report, they said, according to Rico, he said that Floyd's security team pushed him away from Mayweather while Floyd yelled, I'll beat your ass. They do have footage, and you can see that they are shouting at each other. And Floyd's security team is trying to defuse the situation. And then at one point, Rico Canbaro says, if Floyd kicks his ass, he said, I'll get all your money, too.

Yeah, and that's stupid. You can't sue him for that. Now, the guy, Floyd was right. Floyd was sitting out, probably standing out there in front of the Fountain Blue where he always is. And, yo, can I get a picture? And Floyd was like, yo, say good morning. Say hello. Greet me first.

And, yeah, then I can give you a picture. And the guy got a little rowdy and started talking crazy. By the way, the guy might have walked up talking crazy. And I don't know. I'm just saying the guy might have walked up talking crazy, you know, amped Floyd up. And then when Floyd responded, it started recording. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? But Floyd never touched him. Floyd didn't, you

know, he said. They both agree that he never touched him. Yeah. So I don't see how you. Sue me for that. Accuse somebody of assault. Attempt to touch? Like, it just sounds crazy. Now the Miami Beach Police Department is investigating the allegations as a possible simple assault. Get out of here.

Simple assault on who? I don't know. That sounds so stupid. All right, I'm Angela Yee and that's your rumor report. What's a complicated assault? Maybe like multiple attacks? All right, well thank you for that rumor report. Charlemagne.

Yes. Who you giving that donkey to? It's Black History Month. I think we need to have a conversation about acting black. A man from Florida told a conversation about acting black. A man from Florida told someone to stop acting black, and we need this man, Kenneth Bradley, his name. His name is Kendall Bradley. We need him to come to the front of the congregation.

We'd like to have a word with him. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. B.J. N.V. Angela Yee.

Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, a lady called this morning, and she was a little mad at Charlamagne. Can we play that clip? When you were slandering the Puerto Rican people and the culture and making fun of our language and saying how the halftime show was too Spanish-y, it was not cool. I never said it was too Spanish-y. I said I liked the halftime performance.

You didn't say too many positive things about it, and you were making fun of the Spanish language. Like, ojo, quito, whatever you were saying, you wasn't being too positive about it. That is not true. Drum, fun of the Spanish language. Like, ocoquipo, whatever you were saying, like, you wasn't being too positive about it. That is not true. Drum, did I say anything bad about the halftime performance?

No. I think you supported the halftime performance, but maybe the broken Spanish might have been a little much for some people. What broken Spanish? When you're saying uno

and the numbers and all that kind of stuff. So time out. Black people can't speak Spanish now? She thought Charlamagne was being disrespectful to our Latino people, our Latino listeners out there.

And let the record show for everybody listening, it is always about Charlamagne. It's all about Latino people, our Latino listeners out there. And let the record show for everybody listening. It is always about Charlamagne. It's all about me all the time. But let's be clear. I didn't say any of those things that that lady said I said. Not one. And should I be offended because she got me confused with a caller?

Play that caller. Play the guy who called up and said what she said I said. I think it was mediocre at saying Spanish is hell and... Oh, my God. That was the point, sir. Should I be offended that she thinks all black men sound alike? Maybe she thought your laughter was a cosign. No, my laughter was the fact that it was funny,

and then I said that was the point. It was the point for the halftime show to be Spanish as hell, Latino as hell. That was the point of the whole halftime show. Well, let's open up the phone lines. We have Drew on the line. Drew was the point for the halftime show to be Spanish as hell. Latino as hell. That was the point of the whole halftime show. Well, let's open up the phone lines. We have Drew on the line. Drew, good morning. Good morning. How you doing, DJ? It's DJ Envy.

Yay, DJ. First of all, before we talk to you, Drew, are you Latino? No, I'm not Latino. I don't want to talk to you then. You don't sound Latino. No, it's all about... How do you sound it? Come on now. That was terrible. Sorry, Drew. Yeah, that right there. Come on now. That was terrible. Sorry, Drew. Yeah, that right there in his cell phone. Come on now. Kind of messed up.

That was Envy who said that, since y'all can't tell the black people. It's black! You can tell he's black. I don't want to talk to no black people about a Latino topic. He don't want to talk to you, bro. What do black people sound like?

Like, Drew! Sounds good. That's my d***! Yes! That's how black people sound, Drom. Drom said, how do black people sound? That's how we sound. Yes. Yes. That's how black people sound, Drom. Drom said, how do black people sound? That's how we sound. F*** it.

Okay? Yes. Yes. Yes. I didn't tell you. Yes. That's how my people sound. Yes.

Hello. Hello. Hello. Good morning. Good morning. Who is this? This is Cassandra from New Jersey. Cassandra, are you Latino?

Latina. Latina. Yeah. Yeah. Do I sound like it? Do I sound like it? No. Huh? No, are you Latino? Latina. Latina. Yeah, do I sound like it? Do I sound like it? No. Huh? No, you don't sound Latina.

Black and proud. I can tell. I'm sorry. I know this is Black History Month, but I want to talk to our brown people. She sends them sick. Can she just get off my chest? Okay, okay, okay. Wait, let me finish.

I am so glad we have in this conversation. First of all, the performance was very boring. Boring. What? And second of all, the performance was very boring. Boring. What? And second of all, yeah, boring. Yeah, Angela, boring. Second of all, let me just say that a lot of times when it comes to black people supporting Latinos, we support them a lot of times. Even when you hear politicians and you hear us talk about issues, we always say, oh, black and brown.

But very, very seldom, almost none of the time, will you hear Puerto Ricans saying brown and black people. I never hear them say how they support us the way we support them. Yeah, boring. I'm going to tell you something. I don't like the way this topic is. What about Afro-Latinos? I hung up on it.

This is not where we're supposed to go. I'm confused. Listen, Sim and everybody that's handling the phones, I want to talk to my brown family this morning, okay? Latinas and Latinos. There you go. All right? These niggas are mad, and we don't want that.

Okay? That's not who we want this morning. All right? What line you want to go to? Dos. See, I think I got a good feeling about Dos. Go to Dos. All right, we'll go to Dos.

Hello, who's this? What's up, y'all? This is Linda. Hey, Linda. Linda, are you Latino? Hey. No, I'm not. Oh, Lord.

Are you Linda? They're Linda sometimes. It depends on who calling the name. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on one second. We going Cinco. Go Cinco. One, two, three, four, five. I got a good feeling about Cinco. Chris. Hey, it's Chris the name. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on one second. We going Cinco. Go Cinco. One, two, three, four. Yeah.

I got a good feeling about Cinco. Chris. Hey, it's Chris Manning. What's happening? Okay, Chris. I think we got Chris. You Latina? Latino.

Latina. I'm Cuban. Cuban. All right. Okay. Let's go. No, I don't think Charlamagne was disrespectful. I mean, I have it as a tie with a Beyonce performance.

The only reason I would give it to Beyonce being number one, because she held it down by herself. Number one. Well, the first time she had give it to Beyonce being number one, because she held it down by herself, number one. Well, the first time she had Destiny's Child on stage with her, Kelly and Michelle did pop out with her. Like I said, Beyonce held it down by herself. You disrespectful. You disrespectful. You disrespectful.

You so disrespectful. Alright, let's go to line eight. One. One. What's going on? What's going on, Charlamagne? Now I want him to ask a stupid question. Are you Latino? Dominican, Dominican, Dominican, Dominican.

Okay. I'm 100% Dominican. Talk to me. Was I disrespectful yesterday? Man, not at all, man. Not at all. Thank you, sir. They did a lot of wrong stuff in that halftime show, man.

Y'all ruined supposed to come out. That song, Bad Bunny, that was Cardi B's song. That wasn't even Shakira's joint. Come on, man. There was a lot of people missing on the halftime show, but it wasn't disrespectful at all. Thank you, brother. I enjoyed the halftime show yesterday. And the fact when Drom pointed out all the political statements that they were making in the halftime show, it made me

look at it again and appreciate it even more. Yeah, I agree. I just asked. I just wanted to see Ja Rule come out with J-Lo, and I wanted to see. I wanted to see J-Lo and I wanted to see Rock Clef. I wanted to see Cardi because I feel like Cardi represents that Latino,

American, you know, Afro-Latino. I don't know. You don't know what you're saying right now. I really don't. It's just going to sound terrible. They all Afro-Latino?

We all have African blood running through our veins. It's not by the complexion of your skin. It's by, historically speaking. I knew that! No, you didn't. You didn't know that.

You're confused right now. And by the way, Jamos is Latino and he's also American. And I just wanted the record to show Envy didn't even pass our Latino brother the microphone. That's how much he respects you, Jamos. I did. I tried.

I turned it to him. He put a border between y'all, Jamos. Jamos been talking about it. He told you to cross it. All right. 800-585-1051. We're taking your calls. This is The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Now, if you just tuned in, a lady called this morning, and she was upset by something that Charlamagne said yesterday. Can we hear it?

No, something that Charlamagne didn't say yesterday, but she said I said. When you were slandering the Puerto Rican people and the culture and making fun of our language and saying how the halftime show was too Spanish-y. It was not cool. I never said it was too Spanish-y. I said I liked the halftime performance. You didn't say too many positive things about it. And you was making fun of the Spanish language, like, oco, quito, whatever you were saying.

You wasn't being too positive about it. That is not true. Drum, did I say anything bad about the halftime performance? No, I think you supported the halftime performance, but maybe the broken Spanish might have been a little much for some people. What broken Spanish? When you're saying uno and the numbers and all that kind of stuff. So time out.

Black people can't speak Spanish now? I never made those comments. Another caller made those comments. Play the caller, too. All right, let's play the caller. I think it was mediocre at best. Spanish is hell and... Oh, my God.

That was the point, sir. So, 805-85-1051. We're asking, do you think that Charlamagne was being disrespectful? First of all, Charlamagne was not being disrespectful because Charlamagne didn't say any of those things that woman said I said. All right. Well, what's your name, ma'am? My name is Yvonne. Yvonne, are you Latina?

I am. I am Puerto Rican. Okay. I want to hear from you. Boricua. Can I say that? Boricua all the I want to hear from you. Boricua. Can I say that? Boricua all the way. Yes, you can say Boricua.

Okay. It's just the way you say things and how you come out. Like, you get very offended if it has anything to do with the African American culture. But when it comes to the Puerto Ricans or the Boricuas or the Latins, you kind of, like, brush it off. Like, oh, it's okay. Like, I'm going to say this and I'm not going to think that their community is sensitive. And that's a way I think you kind of lack at. You need to make sure that when you communicate, you communicate and realize what you say in

general for the culture. Okay. If that makes sense. That's a fair assessment. I respect that. I respect that. Okay. And yes, I'm from's a fair assessment. I respect that. I respect that. Okay. And yes, I'm from the Bronx.

From the Bronx. Yes. So when I say the crazy, I would like for you to know that when I say the craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida, I'm not just speaking about Latinas. Speaking about the n****s too. I'm just letting you know that. This guy. That was crazy.

When I speak for myself, I'm a Boniqu, and I'm letting you know that for me, I became very offended with what you said. So I'm just saying for you to be a little bit more sensitive when it comes to at least Hispanics or Latinas, because we kind of like get thrown to the side. Like we don't belong to the black, the brown, or the white. We're kind of like in the middle. Can you tell me exactly what I said, though, so I know?

It was, I guess, just the way, I'm not sure what really pissed me off about what you said, but it was in general how you communicated and how everything seemed to be a joke about it. Like, I'm just laughing it off. I think that's what pissed me off the most about it. For the record, for the record, I think a lot what Pissed me off the most about it For the record For the record I think a lot of things are jokes I'm sorry

It's not my fault But you know what And this is And this is partly a two And me growing up in New York And this is gonna sound a little crazy But I never looked at Puerto Rican and Dominicans

Like not my family Like we were all They were all my peoples That's how we looked at it So when I asked How come they didn't bring out Y Club for Ja Rule, it wasn't because they were black. It was because I liked that song. I liked the Shakira.

You think those are the right hit songs? I liked the Ja Rule joint. That's what I really asked. It wasn't that they were black and they were Latino. No, I just wanted to hear that song. I thought they were dope. I respect that, but in general, like, I grew up with nothing but black people.

I was, like, probably the only grew up with nothing but black people. I was probably the only Spanish girl in my crew at times. I'm just saying for you to be a little bit more respectful of the Hispanic land, Boricua culture in general, and give us some power. He would put

some respect on my name. Okay, alright. It's already hard enough out here, right? Why did you say respect like it's Goya though? You said respect like it was Sosong That's the problem You did though You said it like it was a seasoning

Why it gotta be Goya? There you go See? There you go Because you have to have a little Sosong A little Sosong See? Put some respect on my name

Sosong See? I don't know what accent that was I don't know what accent that was By I don't know what accent that was. By the way, if we can't laugh and joke on each other, we're not really a family. Jamaicans should be mad, too, the way you do your patois. Everybody should. Listen.

Everybody should be mad. Everybody should be mad at me. Americans should be mad at me. Yes, everybody. I am an equal opportunity offender. Okay? I bet some people you can't make fun of, though. Like who? I don't know. can't make fun of, though.

Like who? I don't know. I'm not going to. Some people. Listen, if I can't make fun of you, then we're not really family. Go to Line Trace, please. Line Trace. Okay, Mike.

Hello, who's this? This is Joe. Joe, what's up? I was saying, listen, I think Charlamagne, you know, roasts every ethnicity out there, white, black, Spanish. He speaks what he feels and what, you know, the facts. And, you know, he'll give donkey of the day to black people or white people and he'll call them giant jars of mayo. I got into an argument.

I'm white. I got into an argument with my friend who's white. He was like, oh, that's racist. I was like, you have to understand, he equally distributes what needs to be distributed. You know what I mean? He puts people in check. If you distributed. You know what I mean? He puts people in check. You know what I mean? I don't think that the comments that were said at all were out of line.

I mean, he didn't really say much in what he said. It was Spanish. Yeah, so what? Hey, thank you. I really appreciate you, but I'm going to tell you something. This is a conversation between black and brown people, and I don't need a white man coming to my defense right now. This is not a good time.

I appreciate you. Listen to me. Listen to me, my man. white man coming to my defense right now. It's not a good time. I appreciate you. Listen to me. Listen to me, my man. I appreciate you, but not right now. Charlotte, man. Charlotte, man. I rock with you, man. I called up. They heard I was white. They hung up on me. That's my girls. Thank you. That's my girls.

That's my girls. Sim. Why you do that to all my people, man? They're my girls out there. Tell everybody that listens. White people, Latino people, Asian people, black people. Man, listen. Everybody. If I have to explain to you, you know, what we about or what I'm about, then you really don't know me and I really don't want to talk to you. Like, people that have been rocking with Charlamagne for a long time

and The Breakfast Club for a long time, they know what the energy is. That's it. We have a good time. That's all. for a long time. They know what the energy is. That's it. We have a good time. That's all. At everybody's expense. All right. Yeah. Yeah.

Yes. What we got coming up in the room, miss? I don't think that was a good conversation, though. It wasn't enough. It really wasn't enough Latinos that got through on the phone lines. And I think you did that on purpose. No, I didn't. No, I really didn't.

You told me what line to go to, and I went to every line that you said. I'm trying to build bridges, and you're building walls. Nope, that's not true. And you're Dominican, which is disgusting. You should know what line to go to, and I went to every line that you said. I'm trying to build bridges, and you're building walls. Nope, that's not true. And you're Dominican, which is disgusting. You should know better. Shut up, man. You should don't do that to your own people. God, yeah.

Kodak Black, he's going to be appealing his prison sentence. We'll give you more information and an update on how he's doing in prison. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee.

On The Breakfast Club. Well, Kodak Black is appealing. He has a 46-month prison sentence, and he feels like that's too long. The judge unfairly gave him too much time. They said he shouldn't have been classified as a prior convicted felon when he got sentenced because his previous guilty pleas did not result in convictions because under those deals there would be

no conviction on his record, so they believe that is a technicality that could get him out of jail early. He is slated to get out around August 14th of 2022, but they think if this appeal goes through, he could get out sometime next year. Every person in jail thinks they got too much time though, and I mean, a lot of times they're correct.

And, you know, a lot of people, listen, if you can't appeal and you have some grounds to do that and you can get out of jail earlier, why wouldn't you, right? Now, Kodak Black also on social media posted, I was just getting started. More to say, but I guess to mute me, they got me from around that ish SMH. It is never the pain which hurts the most. It's the mental agony caused by the injustice and the unreasonableness of it all.

So that is an update of his on Twitter right now. He said, besides the BS, life is great. Oftentimes we are too scared to speak up in a world where when you were right, they tell you to be quiet in a world which doesn't recognize the value of human life and human dignity, which robs a man of his will and make him an object to be exterminated. I feel like that young man is doing a lot of reflecting. This jail sentence seems like it hit Kodak a little bit different. Alright, now Hamilton

the musical is going to be in theaters. So I know you guys are excited to see it on the big screen and it's coming out with Disney. So, you all saw Hamilton, right? I definitely saw Hamilton. And it's supposedly going to have the original cast. Yeah, I saw it.

I saw it when it had the original cast on Broadway. It's dope. All right. David Schwimmer has responded to some of the criticism that he got for his comments about Friends versus... He wasn't mentioning Living Single, but he acted like Friends was its own original thing and they should do a black version of Friends. And Erica Alexander responded, in case you didn't know, she said, Are you seriously telling me you've never heard of Living Single?

We invented the template. You're welcome, bro. Well, now David Schwimmer is responding to that backlash. He said, Hi, Erica. As you know, I was asked recently in an interview for The Guardian how I felt for the thousandth time about a reboot of Friends immediately following a conversation about diversity on the show and so offered up other possibilities for a reimagining of the show today.

I didn't mean to imply Living Single hadn't existed or indeed hadn't come before Friends, which I knew it had. Please remember in an interview, quotes are often pieced together and taken out of context and then these quotes are repurposed in other articles by other people who are trying to be provocative. So he goes on to say, if his quote was taken out of context, it's hardly in my control. So he meant no disrespect. R. Kelly's ex, Azriel Clary, you know she's been speaking out now, and she has fully removed herself from saying that R. Kelly is innocent.

She's now cooperating with investigators in his federal sex crimes case in New York, according to sources who have direct knowledge of what's happening. So she's now working with the feds. She's also putting the wheels in motion to work in multimedia and advocacy now moving forward. So she is recovering what she says was a dysfunctional and abusive relationship with R. Kelly, and she wants to work with nonprofit organizations that help protect young people. So the organization is called Team Truth, and now it's being run

by her dad to educate minors and their families about types of abuse and how to escape it. Alright, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. Alright, thank you, Ms. Yee. Revolt, we'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix is up next. Today is Cameron's birthday, so we're going to get some Cameron in the mix,

alright? It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. Today is Cameron's birthday, so we're going to get some Cameron in the mix, all right? It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. That's Black History Month. That's right. Today is Rosa Parks' birthday.

You know, Rosa Parks is forever a Black History Month legend. And I know that y'all know Rosa was a G, but I don't think y'all know how much of a G Rosa really was. You know, it's a lot of interviews and literature you can read about her. But I prefer the interviews because you can hear how she felt directly from her. So, you know, when you're telling Rosa to get her ass up, okay, it's very good to understand why she chose not to do that, okay? Here's an interview that she did with Larry King back in 95 where she described why she's actually not bitter towards all mayonnaise-flavored mayonnaise. The Breakfast Club presents a new Black History Month legend. So you didn't hold it against collectively all white people?

That's true. I did not. What then did you do with your anger? I tried to have as little anger as possible. I tried to use it to help people who were suffering and many who were discouraged and did not have the courage to try to take a stand for themselves.
