Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.

It's Thursday.
Yes, it's Thursday.
It is Thursday.
Yes, and Halloween is over.
Thank God.
I am tired.
Yeah, you guys did it up.
I mean, yeah.
I mean, I'm tired for a number of reasons because I was on my book tour the past couple
of weeks.
Still on it a little bit.
But yes, Halloween is a thing.
You know what I realized last night?
What?
Halloween. Halloween. Halloween. We get dressed up because we like to get dressed up during the day just because we like to couple weeks. Still on it a little bit, but yes, Halloween is a thing. You know what I realized last night? Halloween,
we get dressed up because we like to get dressed up
during the day just because we like to get dressed up.
I grew up Jehovah's Witness, so I didn't get
to do a lot of that when I was a kid. I didn't get to do it
at all. Now that I'm an adult, I
overdo it, but the Halloween
costume I had on yesterday, which was Iron Man,
I didn't make it trick-or-treating
with that costume on. It was too hot. It was too much.
Yeah, it was too hot. It was too much.
I had to take off.
I was a cat in a hat.
And it was, first of all, if you have asthma, you can never put that thing on because I
felt like I had asthma the whole day.
I couldn't breathe for nothing.
You guys did too much.
And then, like I said, when I went trick-or-treating with the kids, it was just, I was like, F this.
Well, mine was different because I just couldn't drive with it on.
Yeah, I couldn't drive with mine on either.
I was in the backseat of the Uber like this.
I had to lay in the backseat.
Yeah.
And then he had to help me get out of the car.
So it's just like I couldn't drive with it on.
If I'm taking my daughter trick-or-treating,
we couldn't even get to where we were going if I had that suit on.
Yeah, it was difficult.
And the last night, you know, me and the wife went out.
And she was Cinderella and I was the prince.
You had a lot of different costumes.
I did, yeah.
That was your sexy costume.
We were like dead. So we was like
kind of like dead princess
dead Cinderella and dead prince.
I had to do a club last night
in New Jersey. It was crazy. I had a great time
but I'm just tired. And the crazy part
about it, I could not get the little eye makeup
off because we had a makeup artist come and do
the skeleton on the face. I could not get that makeup eye makeup off because we had a makeup artist come and do the skeleton on the face. I could not get
that makeup off for nothing. Don't blame the eye makeup
on the makeup artist and don't say
it can't get off because your eyes
are looking a little full this morning. I should have asked
you how I get this makeup off. That's what I should have done. I don't wear
makeup, my brother, as much as y'all want me to.
Dr. Natasha Sandy just got me right.
Drop on the clothesline, Dr. Natasha Sandy.
Not to mention a great diet,
you know. But I couldn't get it off for nothing.
I saw a lot of cute outfits, huh?
What did you do?
You went to?
I went to the juice bar yesterday to drop off some candy,
and I had some masks and stuff,
courtesy of those sun stashes that we have.
And I had our employees do that,
and I hung out there for a little while.
Okay, so you didn't go out.
You didn't go to no parties or anything?
No, I ended up going to Dumbo House in Brooklyn,
and that was it.
And shout to Lala.
Lala has a Halloween party every year.
Lala and Lenny S.
Yeah, Lenny S.
They have a Halloween party every year.
I can never go because I'm always working on Halloween,
but I seen it was dope, man.
So shout to Lala.
Shout to Lenny S.
I went last year.
Thanks for the invite.
I didn't go this year.
And the reason I didn't go this year
is because that costume wasn't comfortable.
That costume wasn't comfortable. That costume wasn't comfortable.
If somebody punched me in that Iron Man suit yesterday,
only thing I could do is probably act like the lights would light up.
Just hit it like...
You know what I'm saying?
And hope that scares them.
I also feel like if you don't have the right costume on,
it's either you have to go all out,
or you got to just chill and not wear anything.
Oh, you got to go all out.
It can't be halfway.
No, you can't be halfway.
I was telling my daughter yesterday,
one of her friends asked her,
what was she?
Because she was like an alien,
like some type of,
and I'm like, yo, that's good.
It's good that people can't figure out
what it is that you are.
It's Halloween, goddammit.
You know what I'm saying?
The more creative the costume, the better.
All right.
Well, as long as the kids have fun,
that's all that.
And you know what it was?
Usually Halloween is cold.
It was warm last night. Yeah. It was warm last night.
Yeah.
It was warm.
And I was happy.
It was a perfect temperature to go trick-or-treating.
Well, let's get the show cracking.
Now we have the director and cast of the new film Body.
They'll be joining us this morning.
The movie Body comes out tomorrow.
Hits theaters in like 15 cities tomorrow.
My man Joseph Kahn, Jackie Long, and Calum Worvey.
That's right.
It also stars a guy
by the name of Leonard,
C to God McKelvey.
Is he new?
He's also a consulting producer
on this film.
Is he a new actor?
He's also produced by Eminem.
Well, he's been in
such critically acclaimed movies
like Ringside.
Ride Along.
That was on TV One.
He was on,
yeah, he was in Ride Along
for 0.9 seconds.
He was in Grow House, which starred Little Duvall and D. Ray Davis.
Is he nominated for anything yet?
No, not as of yet.
He was in After Party.
I saw that.
Oh, he played himself in After Party.
But he's a growing actor in the film world.
He's a thespian.
Not quite yet.
Not quite yet.
I wouldn't say that quite yet.
But he's getting there. Alright.
Alright, what else are we talking about, Yee?
We are going to talk about
immigrants waiting in line for court
dates, and guess what? Those court dates
didn't even exist. Alright, we'll get into
all that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's
DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Drop on the Clues Bonds with Travis Scott.
Travis Scott lets the word fly in that song that radio hasn't caught yet,
and I'm not even going to tell nobody what it is
because I hope they don't ever catch it.
All right.
I don't want nobody to complain.
Well, let's get in some front page news now.
Tonight, Thursday night football.
The Raiders take on the 49ers.
Also, congratulations to Derrick Rose.
Now, Derrick Rose has been through a couple of teams.
He's had four knee surgeries, but last night he scored 50 points and balled out.
Derrick Rose dropped 50 last night?
He dropped 50 last night.
Wow.
What are they playing?
They were playing the Chicago Bulls.
Wow.
So he must have been playing some inspired basketball.
That's his hometown team. That's who he— No, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. They were playing the Jazz. They were playing the Jazz last night. Oh, I was about Bulls. Wow. So he must have been playing some inspired basketball. That's his hometown team.
That's who he.
No, no, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
They were playing the Jazz.
They were playing the Jazz last night.
I was about to say, wow.
They were playing the Jazz.
Well, drop on the clues.
No, I'm just kidding.
No, he was playing the Jazz.
Derrick Rose dropped 50?
He dropped 50 last night.
Wow.
What else are you talking about, Yee?
Well, let's talk about these over 100 immigrants waiting in line in 10 different cities.
And they're waiting in line to go to court.
They have all their paperwork ready to go.
They want to cooperate, only to find out that their court dates don't even exist.
Now, according to an immigration attorney in North Carolina, Jeremy McKinney,
he said from a humanitarian point of view,
it's sickening what you're seeing happening here
because they're toying with these individuals' lives in many cases.
This is widespread, it's national, and it's outrageous.
This was happening in at least 10 immigration courts.
Now, they're even giving them dates that don't exist, like September 31st.
There is no September 31st.
And for times of day when the court isn't even open.
So they'll give them a court date for midnight and the court's not even open at midnight.
Yeah.
Yeah. So just alerting you guys to that happening because these people are still coming to court.
These immigrants trying to make sure they can cooperate.
They're anxious.
They don't want any problems.
And then they find out these dates or times don't even exist.
All right.
Now let's talk about the Pittsburgh shooting suspect, Robert Bowers.
He is being indicted on 44 charges and 32 of those charges are punishable by death.
He did kill 11 worshipers during last weekend's services.
And right now, he's facing 10 other potential death penalty charges as well.
So these charges include two counts of obstruction of the free exercise of religious beliefs.
And that involves an attempt to kill.
Eight counts of obstruction of the free exercise of religious beliefs involving an attempt to kill.
And use of a dangerous weapon resulting in bodily injury to a public safety officer.
So we will be keeping our eye on that.
I feel like is he still a suspect?
We know he did it.
Yeah, no, he's not a suspect. But they call it a suspect still, I guess, until he.
You can't legally.
Right, legally.
He did it until he's found guilty.
Right.
It's just weird to be like suspect.
OK. He didn't until he's found guilty. Right. It's just weird to be like suspect. Okay. And then Donye Jones, earlier this month, Ferguson activist Melissa McKinney found her 24-year-old son Donye Jones dead hanging from a tree.
Now, she was well-known in her community, having participated in all these different protests in Ferguson.
She believes that her son was lynched.
They actually had photos that are very graphic that were circulating.
And a lot of those have been deleted since because it's pretty
tacky, but she said she's
sick, she's losing her mind. She wanted to make
sure she lets the world know what they did
to her baby, and she had posted
that with the caption, they lynched my baby
on there. So people are wondering, why
is nobody talking about it? If you search
the hashtag Donye Jones, you can
see more information on what's going on.
Well, the interesting thing about Ferguson,
like, it's always some Ferguson
protesters that end up getting
tragically killed in some way,
shape, or form. It's like somebody needed to do
some type of investigation of
who is actually taking these people
out, and why. Right, he was found
hanging from a tree in his mom's backyard, and the police
said it was a suicide.
Wow, wow, wow.
Alright, well, damn it, man. Rest in peace
and condolences to the family.
And that is Front Page News. Alright, now get
it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

Maybe you had a bad night. Maybe you had a great night.
Whatever it may be, get it off your chest.

It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Wake up, wake up.
Wake your ass up.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
This is the rest from Gary, Indiana.
You said the what?
Early in that town.
The what?
I'm like actually excited because I didn't think I was going to actually get through.
You said you're the what?
I'm from Gary, Indiana.
The home of Freddie Gibbs and the Jacksons.
That's right.
Well, get it off your chest.
Okay, first off, I want to get it off my chest.
Angela, yeet.
I love y'all.
However, you hit me wrong with that candy corn stuff.
Why?
You don't like candy corn?
Candy corn is trash.
Mad people said they like it.
I said the same thing yesterday.
Who the hell likes candy corn?
I said nobody wants candy corn.
Candy corn is like black licorice.
I was definitely with you.
And I was like on my way to work.
And I really like it.
She really going to sit up here and try to defend candy corn.
I just think candy corn.
Who the hell defends candy corn?
You just can't eat too much of it. That's all. I said whoever gives candy corn? I just think candy corn. Who the hell just feeds candy corn? You just can't eat
too much of it.
That's all.
I said,
whoever gives candy corn
on Halloween
usually got their house egg.
That's what I said.
Bro, candy corn is trash.
Let me see how my call ended.
Candy corn is the
black licorice of candy.
I don't like nothing
vegetable-like,
and that's too close.
You don't like it
because it's all sugar.
Yo, you know what's so crazy?
It's not the vegetable-like.
No, it's the setup.
It's the setup.
I believe it.
I don't want fool you, you.
All right, bro.
I just realized that candy corn is actually candy corn.
What do you mean?
It's corn.
It's kernels of candy.
When you pile it up together, it looks like an air of corn.
I never noticed that.
I didn't realize it was candy kernels of corn.
I don't know.
All I know is there's a kid in my mom that said, don't eat it because it's open and then
people poison kids.
I thought candy corn was a decoration.
I didn't even know that it was something
that you were actually supposed to eat. Well, the poll
I did yesterday ended like this. 48%
of people hate candy corn, 25%
love it, and 27% kind
of like it. They could tolerate it. It's disgusting.
So it's more than half, so you lost.
Hello, who's this? Yo, what's
the deal? This is AJ. AJ, give me
a good chance. No, okay, look, I hate when you
at work and you got like a team lead
or just somebody that might have one more stripe than you do
and they just want to go above and beyond all the time,
just overwork and overdo stuff.
Like, why are you such a teacher's pet ass, ass kisser?
Like, stop.
We make the same amount of money.
It's okay.
Well, they about to get you out of the job.
That's why.
Oh, no, they not. I'm about my
papers. I'm ignoring y'all
all day. Alright,
bro. Hello, who's this?
Hi, this is Kirsten Allen from Columbus,
Ohio. What's up, mama?
Get it off your chest. First of all,
first of all, I love all of
you, especially Charlotte
May, Angie, all of y'all.
I just love y'all. Y'all are good for
my soul every morning. Thank you, baby.
You know what's good for my soul? Open Super Soul
Conversations. I just want to spread some positivity.
Look, if you think positive
thoughts, you get positive outlooks
and positive things will happen.
I'm almost done with school.
I'll be done November 25th.
Then school helped me with this
really dope job.
And then after three months of being there, I got a raise, like almost a $5 buff.
You know, I'm just really, 2018 was a good year for me.
Well, I'm glad to hear that.
You keep spreading that positivity.
Thank you.
I'm super excited.
My kids' dads are gone.
I'm excited about that.
Okay, Mama.
I'm just acting my nerves. All right. Well,. Okay, Mama. I'm just acting my nerves.

Congratulations on the launch,
and I'm going to order some.
Thank you.
That's dope.
Charlemagne.
What's up, baby?
I got something for you, too.
What you got for me?
I passed four different libraries
in four different counties
on my way home from work,
and none of them has your book,
so you know what I did?
What'd you do? I made all
of them order them. Oh, you requested it.
Well, I appreciate that, baby. Thank you.
All four counties. That's crazy, right?
No, not really. That is crazy.
So, now I'm gonna get
into you. Oh, boy. Look at her spreading
love. Mad at you. Why you mad at me?
Uh-oh. Why? I called
early September because I wanted
to come to your car show, right?
Mm-hmm.
You had me on hold during the whole interview and doing your whole morning show, hung up on me, and I never got the ticket.
I didn't hang up on you.
Damn, Envy.
Yeah.
You know, the bass man, he good for hanging up on people.
It's messed up, man.
But it's okay because I told one of my friends, I actually can't make the car show because I got tickets to something else
for my born day, which is Monday.
And I got one of my friends
who's actually going to be in Jersey
to still go.
So he's going to take pictures.
He's going to tell me how it's going to be
or what it's like.
And, you know, I'm going to still show some support
even though you did dirty.
That's love, that's love.
I'm going to take mad pictures with him
and introduce him to all the celebrities
and we're going to have mad fun. And when he comes back, you're going to be like, you missed it. That's okay. That'll be to take mad pictures with him and introduce him to all the celebrities. And we're going to have mad fun.
And when he comes back, you're going to be like, you missed it.
That's okay.
That'll be a boy's gift for me.
And I'll be like, you know what?
It wasn't meant for me to go.
That's petty, Envy.
It's her birthday.
Well, happy birthday, mama.
Thank you.
I'm going to call back Monday.
See if I can get a cruise bomb or something.
All righty.
Cruise bombs for me, damn it.
I feel good.
All righty.
Well, enjoy your weekend, mama.
You all too.
Take it easy. All right. Happy early birthday. weekend, mama. You all too. Take it easy.
All right.
Happy early birthday.
Hello, who's this?
What's going on, guys?
This is Joe.
Joe, get it off your chest.
Hey, Joe.
Good morning, guys.
So check this out.
So I've missed every Halloween for the last couple of years with my daughter.
And yesterday, I finally get one back.
So I wake up in the morning and call
Madison and turn my lights off by accident.
Whoa. Why'd you miss the last Halloween?
You was locked up? Nah, man.
It didn't even happen like that, y'all.
Man, what they did was
they was trying to turn my neighbor's lights off
and hit my switch, so when I
called them back, they said it's gonna take
24 hours for them to come back and turn mine on.
Even though they messed up, that's whack.
All you had to do was tell the kids it's going to take 24 hours for them to come back and turn mine on. Even though they messed up, that's whack. All you had to do was tell the kids it's Halloween and you was trying to scare everybody.
That's all.
Everything's supposed to be dark.
That's all.
Walk around the house going boo.
That's all.
And then that's an easy fix because all you got to do is take the kids out,
bring them back in the house by 7, 8 o'clock.
They're going to eat their candy, have a sugar rush, and make them go to bed.
That's all.
Nah, man.
We can't do that.
I wanted to take a trick-or-treating, so I had to drop off with my sister, and I had
to go back and stay in the house for the whole day, man.
I'm sorry for you, bro.
Man, I thought it sucked, man.
They owe you some type of financial credit or something on your bill.
Oh, yeah.
They ended up doing that. They gave me $150 credit,
but it's cool.
It just defeats the purpose that I missed
the last couple of weeks with my daughter, you know?
I wanted to spend them days with her,
so it's all right. All right, bro.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Have a good day anyway, so you can say.
I will. You too.
Charlamagne, I'm glad you're on time, bro.
I know, right?
All right.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, you can hit us up anytime.
Now, Yee, we got rumors on the way?
Yes, let's talk about the Mac Miller tribute concert that took place yesterday.
We'll give you some information about what went down during that stream.
Also, another allegation against Harvey Weinstein.
We'll tell you what that is.
All right, we'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The rumor report.
Gossip.
With Angela Yee.
It's the rumor report.
The Breakfast Club.
Well, we've been telling you about these devices, these suspicious packages that were found in several different locations being mailed to some people who are clearly opponents of Donald Trump.
Well, now another package has been found, and that was outside of Robert De Niro's restaurant, Tribeca Grill in Tribeca, which is actually right near where we work up here at The Breakfast Club.
It's like three blocks away.
Yes.
Why would y'all tell somebody that?
We're just trying to let them understand. Which is actually right near where we work up here at the Breakfast Club. It's like three blocks away. Yes. Why would y'all tell somebody that? Okay.
We're just trying to let them understand.
Have one of these mayonnaise-loving racist bigots deliver a package here.
All right?
All right.
Well, the NYPD does have that package, and they are going to be examining all of these packages
to get some forensic clues to help identify who sent them.
They said unless this person is some type of crazy, mad genius, there's so much evidence out there, so they should
be able to track that person down.
Alright, so just giving you all a heads up.
It's crazy. When I got to work this morning, I parked in a lot
and there was so many bomb squad
trucks under cover. I asked
the cop that walks us in the
building. I was like, what's going on? He said they must have found
another bomb and that's exactly what happened.
Clearly they did, right. Alright, so this is in the
process of happening right now and getting
updated as we speak.
Christina Milian got into a situation.
She actually was trying to go
into a party
after going to the Bruno Mars concert
and they were trying to get into the bar off of the
lobby but the bouncer blocked them
and that's when all hell broke loose.
Now they're saying that she was with one of her friends
Nicole Williams from the show Wags and some other people.
And they blocked Christina Milian and one other friend from getting in.
They said one of the friends who was inside reached to open the gate.
And that's when she threw a drink at the bouncer and things got crazy.
He tried to grab her, but then two guys stepped in and it turned into a brawl.
Now, Christina Milian is telling a different story.
The hotel manager told the group they could enter the bar.
When the bouncer started getting aggressive, they left to go find the manager and that she did not throw anything at all.
Envy, imagine you're going into the club with your friends and they block you from going in.
I'm not just going to walk into a club without knowing that I'm okay getting in.
I see that happening a lot.
People just move the velvet rope.
No, that's a bouncer's job to make sure you can't go in.
So, I mean, if the bouncer says good, it's good.
You know what I mean?
I don't own the club.
Now, if I own the club, it's something different.
Yeah, but look, she's with a group of people, right?
Her and her friends are inside.
They're all together.
Christina Milan walked up to that club thinking she was popping,
thinking that they seen Why Do Fools Fall In Love,
thinking he was a fan of Dip It Low,
and she thought she was just going to march right on in, and boom.
Who are you again?
Nah, B. You not get in.
Christina Million? Who? That's probably. You not get in. Christina Million?
Who?
That's probably what happened.
You have a Christina Million on the list?
There's a Christina Million?
What?
Christina Milan?
There's a Christina Milan on the list?
You said you're from Milan?
Yeah.
You're visiting from Milan?
I just seen people flip out when they get to the door.
And, you know, so.
I love that.
There's nothing I like more than seeing somebody say, you know who I am?
It's a humbling experience. Absolutely. No't i don't wait right here with everybody else
absolutely all right megan kelly they're saying that she might actually get fired off of the
today show and find another role for her over there because of those blackface comments let's
revisit that what is racist because because truly you do get in trouble if you are a white person
who puts on blackface on halloween are a white person who puts on black face
for Halloween or a black person who puts on white face for Halloween.
Like, back when I was a kid, that was okay as long as you were dressing up as like a
character.
There was a controversy on The Real Housewives of New York with Luann.
And she dresses Diana Ross.
And she made her skin look darker than it really is.
And people said that that was racist.
And I don't know.
I felt like, who doesn't love Diana Ross?
She wants to look like Diana Ross for one day.
I don't know how, like, that got racist on Halloween.
I don't think that's a fireable offense, her being culturally clueless.
Well, they're saying that it's not just that.
They said there were talks even before those comments happened,
and they were not happy with her on the Today Show.
She's Megyn Kelly. You knew what you were investing in.
Right. Some people felt like they should have never taken her.
These people are crazy.
You know, she should not have been hired
from Fox News for such a huge salary.
They said the whole thing has been a disaster.
So they're talking about toning down
her role. So they used this as an out.
When has Megyn Kelly not been controversial?
They wanted it, I guess, at first.
You know who you're investing in
when you invest in people like Megyn Kelly.
So no, that's not a fireable offense.
Well, now she did have these comments.
I'm sorry.
One of the great parts of sitting in this chair each day is getting to discuss different points of view.
I learned that given the history of blackface being used in awful ways by racists in this country,
it is not okay for that to be part of any costume.
I have never been a PC kind of person,
but I do understand the value in being sensitive to our history,
particularly on race and ethnicity.
This past year has been so painful for many people of color.
The country feels so divided,
and I have no wish to add to that pain and offense.
Who wrote that?
I hate talking about stuff that's not in our culture and community.
Did he even open up another school?
Or it is born.
I don't even care about that man.
He's built apology.
And the truth of the matter is, like I was saying, it's not just this that's a fireable thing.
It's the fact that they've been having issues with her.
Her ratings aren't good.
They've been pretty low as well.
I would rather them fire her because her ratings aren't good.
Because I think it's whack that they hired Megyn Kelly
knowing who Megyn Kelly is.
As she said,
she's never been a PC
type of individual
so you can't fire her
when she says something
you don't agree with
when you hired her
because of those same opinions.
I guess it's a,
you know,
it's a combination
of different things.
I just think it's whack.
I'd rather they fire her
for ratings
than fire her for being
Megyn Kelly
because they hired Megyn Kelly.
Because if her ratings were great
it probably wouldn't even
be a discussion.
That is very true. Did any of y'all watch her show? I didn't even know she Megyn Kelly. Because if her ratings were great, it probably wouldn't even be a discussion. That is very true.
Did any of y'all watch her show?
I didn't even know she had another show.
Last time I knew she had a show was when she had the NBC show
and she had Alex Jones on there.
Well, one thing I know you guys will be watching is the new movie Bodied.
All right, words are weapons.
It's battle rap and it's the most brutal lyrical sport.
It's produced by one of the greatest, Eminem,
and it's supposed to be a hilarious movie.
I haven't seen it yet, but it's called Bodied.
And it's about an accidental rap battle superstar.
Critics love it.
They're saying it's a brutal, funny masterpiece.
It will be in theaters Friday, November 2nd.
And if you want to see it, it's bodiedmovie.com.
Now, Charlamagne, you're involved in this.
Yes, I've seen the movie because I'm actually in it.
I play a character called Honey Grahams.
And I'm a producer on it.
Drop on the Clues bombs for Joseph Kahn.
Is it Honey Grams or Honey Grams?
Honey.
Okay.
Honey Grams.
What are you playing in it?
Honey Grams.
Okay.
Oh, I play the...
What are you playing in it?
Are you battle rapping?
The movie Bodied is about battle rap.
Are you a rapper?
I play the host and promoter of the battle rap.
You're like Mekhi Pfeiffer.
I'm like Smack.
You know what I'm saying?
I played the Smack.
Why didn't you rap?
What was your rap name back in the day?
Dizzy Van Winkle.
But what I got to do with...
So you could have been a rapper then?
No.
Charlamagne the God.
Put you in the face.
No, I'm the one who promotes the battles and...
All right, I'm Angela Yee,
and that's your rumor report.
Put you out of space.
It's a good movie, though.
November 2nd, it'll be out.
Don't try to trace.
And it's not PC at all. Me, Perry Van Winkle. It's my man, Jackie Long. November 2nd, it'll be out. Don't try to trace. And it's not PC at all.
Me, Perry Van Winkle.
It's my man, Jackie Long.
It was Dizzy Van Winkle.
I don't know who Perry Van Winkle is.
Sounds like something you used to buy
in the 90s to wear.
You and Clue,
when you first got your first check
from Den of Stone.
But buy all the Perry Van Winkle you can.
That was Perry Winkle, sir.
That van.
Take the van out.
Perry Winkle.
It's a nice purplish color.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in purplish color. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front page news.
Now, congratulations to Derrick Rose.
After four knee surgeries and team to team to team,
last night he scored 50 points.
Shout out to the coolest bondsman, Derrick Rose.
That was a good throwback to see.
Against the Utah Jazz, so congratulations to him.
I actually want to go watch that game.
I'm going to go watch that game just to see how that went down.
How did Derrick Rose score 50?
All right.
Now what else are we talking about, Ye?
Well, HBO has gone dark.
This is the first time this has ever happened.
So if you have the Dish Network or Sling,
they failed to reach a new agreement with the service provider's parent company.
And HBO actually issued a statement right before the outage.
They said, during our 40-plus years of operation,
HBO has always been able to reach agreement with our valued distributors,
and our services have never been taken down or made unavailable to subscribers
due to an inability to conclude a deal.
Unfortunately, Dish is making it extremely difficult,
responding to our good-faith attempts with unreasonable terms.
Now, according to Dish, they're saying,
Plain and simple, the merger created for AT&T
immense power over consumers.
It seems AT&T is implementing
a new strategy to shut off its recently acquired
content from other distributors.
So they're placing the blame on HBO.
They said this may be the first of many
HBO blackouts for consumers across the country.
AT&T no longer has incentive
to come to an agreement on behalf of Consumer
Choice. Instead, it's been given the power to grab more money or steal away customers.
That's above my pay grade.
Break that down in layman's terms.
So basically, if you have the Dish network, you don't get HBO right now.
They've gone dark because they haven't been able to reach an agreement.
So HBO is blaming Dish, saying that they're unreasonable,
and Dish is blaming HBO because of their new parent company.
So when HBO says they've never gone dark before,
Dish is responding by saying,
well, that's because AT&T just acquired you and we're sure it's going to happen across the board
because of the strategies that they have now
because they don't care about making sure
that their distributors are getting this content.
I wonder why AT&T don't feel like they want to do the deal.
Do they have that much money that they're just like, whatever?
It's bullshit.
I don't know.
Like I said, it's over my head.
All right, now let's talk about Omari't know. Like, it's over my head. All right.
Now let's talk about Omari Hardwick.
He was up here on The Breakfast Club yesterday alongside Tika Sumter.
And, you know, they were promoting their new movie, Nobody's Fool.
And things got a little crazy.
One day during The Breakfast Club, we actually had a caller call in that did not like Omari Hardwick anymore
because she asked him for a picture and it didn't go well. I was in Brooklyn Bridge Park and I spotted Omari Hardwick and I
walked up to him and you know I told him he was a great actor and I told him I was a fan and that
could I get a photo with him and he was like no, no, no, no, no photos because I'm with my family.
So I said, oh, really?
Okay.
And I went to walk off.
He started yelling and screaming at me.
Oh, all you care about is ghosts.
You didn't even acknowledge my family.
Like, I don't know your family, you know?
All right.
Well, Omari Hardwick up here on The Breakfast Club responded to these allegations.
She sat there and looked at me and went, really?
And I said, really?
I'm with my family.
God bless you.
She said, really?
Like, really?
I'm like, yeah.
Sometimes people say no.
People don't understand that because, you know, you're with your family.
So you're like, I work so much.
This is my quality time.
This is my time.
Just acknowledge our family.
Right.
Hi, everybody.
Sorry to bother you. This woman to my. Just acknowledge our family. Right. Hi, everybody. Sorry to bother you.
This woman to my right
has saved my life.
Think about it.
You don't really know the story.
I was broke as fuck.
She saved my fucking life.
Chill the fuck out.
Just relax.
And then acknowledge her enough.
It can be half of a look.
Hi.
I haven't watched the interview yet.
Did y'all ask him about this story?
I would love to know
how his wife saved his life.
Because he was broke
and she was working
and she was working.
He was homeless.
She was the one that held everything down for him. She held it down.
When he didn't have anything until he started popping.
And so now he doesn't want her to have to work at all anymore
because he feels like she had to sacrifice so much for him
when he was a struggling actor.
So, yes.
All right.
Well, let's open up the phone lines.
Let's take some of your calls.
800-585-1051. Now, Mari was on here yesterday, absolutely. And some. Well, let's open up the phone lines. Let's take some of your calls. 800-585-1051.
Now, Mari was on here yesterday.
Absolutely.
And some people were mad at him.
I mean, it was all over social media, on your ball alerts, on your shade rooms.
And people were mad at him, saying that, you know, he should have took the picture.
So, let's open up the phone lines.
800-585-1051.
Do celebrities owe you that picture?
Do they owe you that autograph?
Do they owe you that conversation?
Some people feel like it's part of your job.
Like, we're the ones that make you who you are.
So if we see you out and about and...
Well, two things can be true.
Omari isn't wrong.
These celebrities don't owe these people anything.
And the fans can respect that.
Or they can choose to be upset and not support said celebrity anymore.
Like, I see both sides.
I see exactly what Omari feels.
And I see exactly what the fans feel.
See, I see, you know, if Omari was that type of person
that I see turn down pictures all the time,
and it's an ass, I don't see that with Omari.
And I've been to a million and one places with him.
But I do get it.
If I'm with my family sometimes,
and people come up to me in the strangest time,
I could be coaching my kids,
or I could be at my daughter's recital,
and I'm watching the recital, and're talking to me and I'm like,
look, my G, can you just give me a second?
I'm watching my daughter perform right now.
You know the thing with that too?
If people say to you, if they be like,
can I take a picture? You're asking me a question.
Correct. If I say no,
you gotta be willing to accept that no. Respect that.
That lets me know that you're not really
asking me because you really care
about what my response is. You're just doing that as a courtesy.
You're like, no, let me get the picture.
No, I said no.
And I also get it.
If I'm with my wife, don't just come and say, hey, I'm taking a picture.
No.
Say hello.
Acknowledge.
Hey, how you doing?
Gia, if you know her name.
Hello, how you doing?
Excuse me.
Do you mind if I take a picture?
Say something like that.
I think that's amazing.
That's how we're raised.
I thought.
That people ask you guys to take pictures, man.
It must be hard to be a celebrity. Nobody ask you to take pictures? Mm-mm. Well, when they get your last name right, I thought. That people ask you guys to take pictures, man. It must be hard to be a celebrity.
Nobody ask you to take pictures?
Mm-mm.
Well, when they get your last name right, they will.
When they stop calling you Angela Lee, they'll start taking pictures.
I'll just be chilling.
800-585-1051.
Do celebrities owe you anything?
Let's open up the phone lines.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's play a snippet of it. I was in Brooklyn Bridge Park, and I spotted Omari Hardwick.
And I walked up to him, and, you know, I told him he was a great actor.
And I told him I was a fan and that could I get a photo with him.
And he was like, no, no, no, no photos because I'm with my family.
So I said, oh, really?
Okay.
And I went to walk off.
He started yelling and screaming at me, oh, really? Okay. And I went to walk off. She started yelling and screaming at me.
Oh, all you care about is ghosts.
You didn't even acknowledge my family.
Like, I don't know your family, you know?
Yeah, and he responded like this.
She sat there and looked at me and went, really?
And I said, really?
I'm with my family.
God bless you.
She said, really?
Like, really?
I'm like, yeah.
Sometimes people say no. People don't understand that
because, you know, you're with your family, so you're like, I work
so much. This is my quality time.
Just acknowledge our family. Right.
Hi, everybody. Sorry to bother you.
This woman to my right has saved my life.
Think about it. You don't really know the story.
I was broke as f***.
She saved my f***ing life. Chill the f*** out.
Just relax. And then
acknowledge her enough.
It can be half of a look.
Hi.
And people are mad and upset about that.
You know, I see where he's coming from, though.
I honestly do.
Like, if I'm with my family, acknowledge my wife and take a picture.
But if I can't, just respect it.
You know, I get it.
Listen, man, two things can be true.
Omari is not wrong.
Let's be clear on that.
These celebrities don't owe these people anything. And if you
ask someone if they can
take a picture and the answer is
no, you have to respect that.
That's why you asked the question, right? Because you wanted to get
a yes or a no. If they say no, you got to respect that.
But the fans can either choose
to respect that or they can choose to be upset
and not support said celebrity
anymore. I see both sides.
What do you think, E? I think that you have to be respectful
of people's space at times.
I think if you ask somebody in the right way
and you're polite and they tell you no,
but they're polite back to you,
it's like the energy that you give.
If you're polite, they should be polite back,
even if they're not going to take the picture.
You know, I'm sorry.
You see, I'm out with my family.
I really apologize.
Thank you so much for your support.
Unless that person's rude to you,
in which case you don't owe them anything.
Hello, who's this?
It's Lil Dope.
Lil Dope.
What do you think, Lil Dope?
Man, I think basically, bro,
there's no point for you to be mad
because that's what you signed up for
at the end of the day.
If a train come at you and tell you straight up,
let me get a picture, you do that, bitch.
Why do y'all say that?
I don't think that's what they signed up for.
Amari, like, you don't understand.
Amari is about his art.
He wants to be an actor.
He wants to be a thespian.
You know what I mean?
That's him.
Like, he's serious about his art.
So I don't think that's what he signed up for.
He signed up to do a good job in his movies.
I mean, I understand that it comes with it.
Like, you want to get famous enough.
And what comes with it is that people really will see you out and about.
But imagine you look crazy. You're coming from the gym, you that people really will see you out and about. But imagine you look
crazy, you're coming from the gym,
you know, and somebody asks you for a picture. And at that moment
you're like, I look crazy. I don't really want to take
a picture right now. Then what? Hello, who's
this? This is Tiffany.
Hey, Tiffany. Good morning. Good morning.
And I'm calling about the Omari Hardwick
story. What's up? I feel like he
has the same attitude. I was
down in Houston. He was in
a club groove and about
50 women stood there waiting
to get a picture for him and he had
his back turned the whole time. He
never even turned around for we could stand
up. We stood there for like 30 minutes
and he wouldn't even turn around for people could
flash the picture and sit down. I feel like
his attitude is always the
same. I don't care if it's in the airport, in the park, in the club,
without the kids, with the wife.
It's the same.
So Amari's the type of guy that doesn't like to take pictures.
Let me ask you a question.
You going to stop watching Powell?
Nope.
All right, then.
Personally, it is what it is.
I wouldn't do it again.
I wouldn't ask him for anything.
But his craft is his craft, but his attitude stinks in person.
And now you know better.
You're like,
I am never going to ask.
I don't know how you say
it's the attitude.
Like, if you don't like
to take pictures,
that's just him.
But you know,
I do feel like sometimes
you're in a club,
so you know you're going
to see a whole lot of people
out and about.
You're in public.
So I do feel like
at certain venues,
like, you know that's
going to happen to you
when you go to the club
and you're on a certain level.
This is going to work out
for Amari, though.
Why?
No one's going to ask him. Exactly.
He don't like taking pictures.
He's going to be like, does anybody want a picture?
Please. Amari has got out. The word
is out. Amari Hardwick. Leave him alone.
Ghost, whatever you want to call him, does not like
to take pictures. So don't ask Amari
for a picture. Leave me alone.
Remember when my girls
asked Chris Rock for a picture? How mad you were
Envy? Chris Rock told them no. Envy, you were so mad.
What about Iman Shumpert?
You right.
So you can't sit up here and say you understand when you do the same thing.
Respect kids.
People done told you no.
Those are little kids.
So now if it's a kid, it's okay.
If it's a kid, is it different?
Respect people's no is all I'm saying.
Your kids are in the club and they ask for a picture.
My kids should be in the club.
So what's the moral of the story, guys?
The moral of the story is two for me. Number one, don't ask me a question if you're not going to in the club. So what's the moral of the story, guys? The moral of the story is two for me.
Number one, don't ask me a question if you're not going to respect the answer.
Questions aren't courtesies to do what you want.
Questions are for you to get consent to do what you asked me to do.
And contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you a goddamn thing.
Not a thing.
Period.
Not a thing.
Sorry.
But it's nice if you can accommodate people.
If you can.
It is very nice when you can do that.
If you can.
All right, now, when we come back, we got the cast of...
My movie.
Body.
My movie.
Best actors, Jackie Long and Kayla Worthy, and director Joseph Kahn.
Yes.
And Charlamagne has a starring role in the film.
It is a Joseph Kahn film.
I do have a pretty solid role in the film.
And I'm a consulting producer.
Look, I'm proud of that, you know?
Say one of your lines right now.
It'll be out tomorrow in theaters.
Say one of your lines.
I don't remember.
We shot that two years ago.
Come on, man.
I really don't remember.
All right.
But yeah, it'll be out in theaters tomorrow.
All right, well, we'll talk to them when we come back.
Don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building. Yes, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got some special guests in the building.
Yes, sir.
Caleb Worthy.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Jackie Long.
Good morning.
And Joseph Kahn.
Good morning.
Good morning, guys.
Finally, Bodied is in theaters this Friday, November 2nd.
Joseph, what took so long?
Contracts.
Contracts.
Okay.
Yeah.
Charlamagne's really in the movie.
Yeah, he's totally.
What you mean by really in the movie?
I don't believe him. Remember he was in that other movie where he was a cop Yeah, he's totally in the movie. Why you don't believe him?
Remember he was in that other movie where he was a cop
but he didn't have a talking thing. He didn't even mention that.
Ride Along. Yeah, Ride Along. And he's a producer.
That was Kevin Ice Cube trying to be funny though.
He was like, oh, we're going to put you in the movie. And it was like
a 0.9 second roll.
The other movie we did?
We don't know nothing about porn up here.
Is that the one Seven Streeters in?
The Ring. Yeah.
Me and Jackie did like three movies together. Jackie, would one Seven Streeters is in? The Ring, yeah. We did Ringside.
Me and Jackie did like three movies together.
Jackie, would you talk into the mic, please?
I'm sorry, we did Ringside together.
Ringside.
We did another one together, too.
What was the other one?
Another rough part film.
Yeah, we done worked together.
Y'all hear what he doing?
Sometimes.
All right, so let's talk about the inception of this film,
how you signed on some of these producers,
and eventually got it to come to theaters.
I mean, it's a movie about battle rap, but, you know, it's a comedy.
I knew Eminem was involved from the beginning, but I didn't want to say anything until he actually fully signed on.
Are you a fan of battle rap?
I am a fan of battle rap.
I've been watching battle rap for 20 years.
What I think is interesting about battle rap is that, you know, it is the main mover and shaker of culture today.
Like, what you guys are doing right now, it's the hub of culture. It's hard to convince
culturally clueless white people of that, though.
Because for whatever reason, they do not understand
hip-hop is indeed pop culture. Well, yeah, and
also, I made this off the grid.
I mean, I use it with my own money. And
in order to make a movie about battle rap,
it's hard to put that through a studio system. I knew that if I
took this script the way it was written, it would just get rewritten like crazy and get watered down.
I think the most controversial part about what I did in this movie is that I made it about a white dude doing it.
And I did that on purpose.
Ooh, I like this type of talk.
Go ahead, Joe.
I mean, the movie, it's definitely talking about cultural appropriation, but that's actually a theme in the movie.
I mean, we're making a whole statement about it.
And I think what you'll see is that when you find the movie going in there, you find this sort of like privileged white kid.
Is that you, Caleb?
That's me.
That's Caleb.
I don't know how I guessed that.
I didn't know if it was you or Jackie.
It's about how this privileged white kid played by Caleb goes into, you know, an urban culture.
And he goes in it with all the best intentions.
But simply because of who he is and where he comes from, it gets translated weird, you know?
In order to address the kind of political incorrectness that y'all do in the film, it had to have a white lead, right?
Yeah, absolutely.
I need somebody to go in there and be like a wrench in the engine, you know?
And mess it all up so that we can actually see it.
But, you know, at the end of the day,
one of the fun things about battle rap is it is politically incorrect.
And in today's woke world,
where everybody is super afraid of saying anything,
I mean, literally, like, if you say,
I'm telling you, if you say one lyric from this movie,
you could get fired at work.
Like, this movie is two hours of things you cannot say at work.
Are you saying I'm going to be fired from other jobs then?
Don't talk about saying the lyrics from the movie.
Well, we already talked about one of the great things is that Kalem is from the Disney world.
He's a white dude from the Disney world.
He's not from Disney.
He's not with Disney no more.
We know that basically Kalem can never work for Disney again after this movie.
Let me ask you guys this. Do you think that a white battle rapper can get away with saying crazier things than someone
who's black?
Because we just think about like, even when Eminem first came out, right, he said crazy,
crazy things.
And a lot of people felt like, well, he wouldn't be able to say those things if he wasn't white.
I mean, that's what this movie addresses.
Because my character says some of the craziest stuff he can possibly say.
Give me an example.
Don't do it.
Don't take it out of context here, buddy. Don't say. Give me an example. Don't do it.
Don't take it out of context here, buddy.
Don't do it out of context here.
Don't feel awkward.
That's what you got to pay to see.
You got to pay to see the light you get.
That's right.
Don't do it out of context.
Was there anything that you felt so uncomfortable with that you were like, I don't know if I can even do this?
Yeah.
Well, I had to say the N-word at one point.
And that was really tough.
It was not a comfortable thing to say.
I'd never said it before.
So now you say it all the time?
No, never.
Never.
Never.
The N-word is never.
Did they have to coax you into doing it?
Or you was like, I can't wait.
I've been wanting to say this my whole life. No, I did not want to say it.
I never wanted to say it.
It was tough.
Honestly, like I'm speaking honestly.
How did you say it?
Don't do it, Kim.
It's out of context.
Don't do it. Did you say it with the E-R at the end or with the A at the it? Don't do it, Calum. It's out of context. Don't do it.
Did you say it with the E-R at the end or with the A at the end?
Don't answer the question.
Don't do it.
Do I answer the question, Justin?
No.
Jackie, you answer it.
Did he say it with the E-A or the E-R?
Is the scene in the movie so funny?
I'm explaining to him how to say it.
And I say one thing.
I explain it like this.
I say it like how Obama said it, not how the other presidents said it.
The thing is, as an actor, you want to tell stories that you hope move the needle at some point
and can somehow tell a bigger story than just your character.
So it was uncomfortable to say.
I did not want to say it.
But at the same time, I knew it was making a bigger point.
Can I say one thing to both their credits, and specifically Kalem?
Like, when we sent out the script, I thought that, like, we'd have our choice of, like, young white male actors.
Because they all want to be rappers.
You know, they all want to be black at the end of the day.
You know?
Say it again, Joseph.
They do. God damn it, yes.
All right.
Tell them, Joseph.
And so a lot of the agents were like, yeah, send us the script.
Send us the script.
Like, we can't wait, and we're going to be the new Eminem.
And then when they read the script and they find out what this dude actually does in the movie,
they all turn it down.
Is it the actor's fault or is it the audience?
Because I'm sure if actors would do these roles if the audience wasn't so stupid
and offended at every single thing and all this backlash, but just people acting.
Well, I mean, that's the problem with the world today.
You know, one of the things I wanted to explore thematically
was that if you watch a battle rap,
there's been some, like, pretty racist battle raps out there.
You know, you'll see a white guy and a black guy,
like, completely go after each other and say the meanest things.
You would never just say one of these things at work, right?
Or in public. You'd get punched.
But you see these guys go after each other,
and then you'll literally see them just go get a drink afterwards.
Like, no big deal, you know?
So the context of when you say these things and how you say this and who you
say this to matters just on a basic level for instance if charlotte made made a like an asian
joke at me i'd be cool with it you know but if you're doing that wait hold on hold on what kind
of joke i wouldn't make an asian joke exactly what i don't think i don't think i've ever made
an asian joke you guys have said things but it's not a joke. You know, sometimes you have to educate people.
Like, they might be like, oh, she's Oriental.
And you're like, no, you can't say a person's...
But I think there is a ground where there's some amount of joking.
In fact, sometimes I feel like in culture,
if you make fun of somebody for the race and you get away with it,
it almost shows how much you're friends.
Do you think Asians are really having a moment in Hollywood
or is this just a fad?
Like, it's just Awkwafina, who I love, by the way. Well, that's all from me. The crazy rich Asians. You think they're having a moment in Hollywood or is this just a fad? Like, it's just Awkwafina, who I love, by the way.
The Crazy Rich Asians.
You think they're having a moment? I don't know.
It's a tricky thing, if you want me to be
honest, because, you know, we're only like 3% of the population.
Yeah. You know? Like, if you
ever had, like, the Asian contingent show up on
any of these movies, yeah, you'll blow all
your money on, like, Crazy Rich Asians, but you can't do that
all year round. I mean, like, little Asians were, like, going in there and
buying entire theaters and stuff, you know?
And that can't work on every Asian. Either it's
got to be like a real movie that people like
or they don't. So, I don't know.
At the end of the day, demographically, Asians are 3%.
We're kind of insignificant.
It's horrible to say insignificant.
We're just a very small population.
You mean in the United States?
I mean in Asia, obviously.
Basically, it's not enough Asians in America for Hollywood to really go full force with Asian-themed anything, I guess.
And also, I'll tell you another thing.
Black people are only 15% of America.
I mean, it's amazing what black people have done, considering you're such a minority.
That's a fact.
Dominate a lot of the culture like that, you know?
But here's the reality of it.
Whether it's rap or Crazy Rich Asians or anything like that,
it's not until you get, like, the 55%, 60% of white people to show up
that you're going to make any money.
S***, you can't shake these white people.
A lot of that battle rap has to do with body language, too.
And I'm sure we see a lot of that,
like when you get in people's faces and you're so close to them
and it makes people want to hit you when you're doing battle rap.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I have to thank you,
actually,
because you were
really helpful with me
during those final battle scenes
because, like,
we were working together
and I was really nervous
going into it
because I had never done
this kind of role before.
And going into
some of those big battles,
I remember, like,
right before the first one,
you were like,
you got this, man.
You got this.
And honestly, man,
it really helped me.
So thank you so much.
Yeah, how did we do,
Charlamagne?
I thought y'all did great. I mean, personally i mean personally yeah even if charlamagne is one of the
like the like a smack in the movie and he's like you know the judge whatever and he was good like
good like he was interacting with us like stuff that we would say he would jump in like oh like
he said some stuff that y'all gonna definitely say in the movie and y'all won't remember i mean we've done like we've done like a hundred screenings and every oh, you're going to look like. He's saying some stuff that y'all are going to definitely say in the movie and y'all are going to remember.
I mean, we've done like 100 screenings, and every line that you're supposed to laugh with
with Charlemagne, people laugh.
Every time.
You're a great actor.
All right, we got more with the cast and director of Body, so don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now we have the cast and director of the film Body, Joseph Kahn, Jackie
Long, and Kaylin Worthy in the building. Yee.
Let's talk about your character for a second. What
do you think about putting people's personal
lives in battle rap and things
that are like somebody's wife, somebody's
kid, sickness.
If you married and got a girl, don't
support your boyfriend because
anything goes. And I don't think you
should never talk personals about your opponent.
You should always just talk about beating them up or killing them or something.
So Angel Brinks can't be there cheering you on?
Angel Brinks definitely cannot be there.
She here today, but she cannot be around me if I'm doing a battle rap
because if they say anything, you're going to want to kill the dude, fight the dude.
Isn't that the point, though?
They want to make you feel like that.
Yeah, and it's a scene that we go through
but I don't want to say nothing. It's deep.
I'm excited. Who's Angel Brink, she?
His girlfriend.
How long have you guys been dating?
Because I've been seeing you all booed up, posted
up on the gram. Six months now.
You in love, Jackie? I'm in love, man.
I'm done. He got Angel.
I'm good. I don't need nothing in life
but a job. I'm good. I'm living He got Angel. I'm good. I don't need nothing in life but a job.
I'm good.
I'm living life right now.
I'm good.
You know, I'm living, man.
You gonna get married soon?
One day.
Definitely the marrying type,
and I definitely will marry that type of woman over there.
That type?
You mean that woman?
That type or Angel?
Come on, Jackie.
I'm saying Angel.
Will you marry Angel, Jackie?
Yes, I will.
Okay, you can't say I'm gonna marry that type of woman and then go marry somebody else. I said that wrong. I will definitely marry Angel. I'm saying Angel. Will you marry Angel, Jackie? Yes, I will. Okay, you can't say I'm going to marry that type of woman and then go marry somebody else.
I said that wrong.
I will definitely marry Angel.
Yes.
Don't get on me later, baby, about that.
I'm just saying.
Yes.
Now, Joseph, did you have to tone the film down at all for this era?
Because we shot this a couple years ago, right?
It seemed like two years ago.
We shot it two years ago.
Did you have to tone it down for 2018?
No.
And trust me, I got some notes.
People were coming at me and saying, you got to cut this line out and this line out.
That's a good question because battle rap, there is no, that's too far.
Yeah.
But in reality, life right now, you can say some things that will piss people off
and that will take you off the face of this planet.
Oh, yeah, and people ask me to change the whole ending of the movie
and make it a happy ending and all this stuff.
No, I'm stuck to my guns.
But you know what?
The funny thing is, as offensive as the movie is, I've been at screenings afterwards.
I saw, you know, like there's a couple of Muslim jokes in here.
So I saw a girl with a hijab approach me after the thing.
I'm like, oh, crap.
You got nervous.
Here we go.
You got nervous.
And she came up to me and she goes, why don't you put more Muslim jokes in there?
Really?
Yeah.
So people have a way of like, if you know that's the context, people are able to laugh about it.
We have to say the F word in here a lot. Yes, the gay slur.
We say that a lot, and I'll tell you, we went
to, what, Palm Springs? Yeah.
They gave us a standing ovation. All of them there
clapped us up, gave us love.
Who's all of them? I'm not gonna say that.
All of them there? They was all
out there in Palm Springs. All what out there?
I'm not saying that.
That type of person. We know what you mean.
The LGBT community, Jackie. There you go.
My gosh. Let's get him out of here before Jackie. There you go. There you go.
Caleb, some advice. When people quote you stuff from the movie, don't retweet it. When it's stuff about the N-word. I know. You know, gays. Don't retweet it. Well, and that's obviously
the scary thing as an actor because you play a role where you're trying to do something
where some of the words that you say actually have a broader message.
But you always worry, like, what if someone just takes that one clip
and says that and has a reflection on me as an actor,
which is always kind of scary, and it's too bad
because as an actor, you want to try to explore different worlds
and use that to ask big questions like that.
Can I say one more thing?
See, here's the thing I'm a little worried about the world today.
We have echo chambers, right?
And so people will say things around each other.
And the great thing about battle rap is if you're racist,
you just sort of like let it out there,
and then you literally fight it out.
The reality is if you don't say it and you hide it, it's still there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The thought is still there, but now it's not being debated. That's kind of the beauty of the Trump era though, right? Yeah. I mean, it's getting it all out there still there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The thought is still there, but now it's not being debated.
That's kind of the beauty of the Trump era, though, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it's getting it all out there.
It's all out there, yeah.
Like, this movie is saying stuff that you probably say at home to yourself.
Okay, so Jackie, so now I'm going to think about these are things that Jackie thinks
and says at home to himself.
No, no, just to clarify, I don't think and say the things that I say at home to myself.
Yeah, because I don't think.
I don't know that I do either.
I really want to make that clear.
Listen, not me.
It's a script.
A white guy that looks like me should never say the things I say.
Speak for yourself, Jackie.
I play Ben Grimm and I'm playing a character.
At the end of the day, and I love white people, okay?
Don't even get me wrong.
And this is one of my new best friends right here.
Okay.
That's where I'm at.
Caleb, say you love black people now.
I love black people.
You better.
I love white people too.
I just don't like racist bigots.
Yeah.
That's it.
I agree. Show them what you have on the floor, Charlamagne, just in case you just don't like racist bigots. That's it. I agree.
Show them what you have on the floor, Charlamagne,
just in case you ever run into a racist bigot.
This is just a jar of mayonnaise.
Because, you know, the thing about whiteness is you just need just enough of it.
You know what I'm saying?
Too much of it can spoil a dish.
You know what I mean?
That's all.
That's a heart attack.
Just enough.
Do you love mayonnaise, Caleb?
I love
black people.
I love black people.
And the things I say in this movie
and the things I say in this movie
don't reflect my own thoughts.
Good answer, man.
Why did you pick
Jalen McCackie to begin with?
Jalen McCackie. That's a Jalen McCackie. Jalen McCackie. Jalen McCackie.
That's your select couple name.
Here we go.
All right, well, okay.
I mean, look at Kale.
I mean, like, if you said white battle rapper.
Definitely wouldn't see it in him.
Yeah.
Oh, really?
No.
Okay.
So I thought that was cool.
And then Jackie, you know, here's the funny thing about the audition when we looked for his part, right?
So the audition was just a series of fat jokes.
And so here's the thing I actually learned about myself during the process
because the movie talks about stereotypes and stuff like that.
And I realized actually I have a stereotype that was in me.
I thought that like when I had all these black actors come,
they could all rap.
For some reason I thought.
They can all play ball.
They can all rap.
It is. All black people can rap. actors they could all rap for some reason i thought
my interaction with black people 30 years is through rap music
so like i thought like all right so i wrote the script uh all my black actors come through and they can rap and none of them could i was like okay well it's an actual thing right you've
got to know how to rap jackie walked off through not only did Jackie know how to rap
He had to wrap these things where he was making fun of fat people and the vast majority people that wrapped
It just came off mean it wasn't funny
But here's the thing about Jackie not right now, but back in the day and maybe back in a maybe six months ago
I don't know
DiCaprio Jackie is the man in Hollywood all women go through him, you know, Jackie is the man in Hollywood. All women go through him, you know? No, that's a fact. I mean, don't say that,
Joseph,
my girl.
She don't.
I'm like,
wait a minute.
She don't.
Jackie's been around.
Jackie's been around.
I thought he was just
going to say Jackie was fat.
I didn't know he was
going to say that.
There's a reason why
black men don't cheat.
Leave Jackie alone.
Didn't Floyd take
one of your girls?
Can you finish talking, Joseph?
I'm going to make it worse because there's a reason why his name is Jackie Long.
Oh, s***.
This is awkward.
Why did you say A?
Why did you say A?
Oh, I got to go.
You said A.
Why did you say A?
Man, shut up, man.
I got to go.
Angel's not amused, guys.
Okay.
Angel know what it is.
Oh, my God.
She's awkward.
Well, I mean, the point is that, like, he has charm, right?
He has this incredible charm.
That was the point of that?
Yeah.
I wonder when he did those back jumps.
It came off funny for the first time.
Nobody else could make him funny.
Jackie could.
Didn't you sell one of your girls to Floyd Mayweather?
Something no Jackie?
Oh, stop that.
Don't say sell.
I remember.
Remember, you know, man, you in the movie with me.
Relax. You in the movie. You in the movie. You in say Stella. Remember, you know, man, you in the movie with me.
Relax.
You in the movie with you on my team right now.
I know, but I just remember
that headline.
I thought that was so funny.
It was like,
Floyd bought you from Jackie Long.
I was like,
Jackie's selling, wasn't it?
Listen, they always,
that money team is,
I love them to death over there,
but you know,
there's always some stuff
going on.
So I'm in a better situation
in life.
I'm focused on what I got
going on in my life, and that's it.
All right, well, buddy.
Tell me when the movie comes out again.
November 2nd.
Hey.
November 2nd.
You can see it on YouTube.
And November 28th on YouTube Premium.
And we appreciate you guys.
Available everywhere November 2nd?
All theaters?
No, just like cities, big cities.
Okay.
And it may expand the next weekend if we do well.
Word.
Body.
Well, thank you guys.
Body, Joseph Kahn, Jackie Long, Kalen Worthy.
Appreciate you guys. We got rumors on the way? Long, Kalen Worthy. Appreciate you guys.
Nayee, we got rumors on the way?
Yes, we'll be talking about Candace Owens and Kanye West.
She has apologized and will tell you what she had to say about these Blexit shirts.
All right, we'll get into that when we come back.
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.
Good morning.
Let's get to these rumors.
Let's talk Chris Brown.
Listen up. It's just in.
Oh, the gossip. The rumor report.
The gossip. With Angela Yee.
It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club.
Well, Chris Brown
and Nia Guzman, they have their daughter
royalty together. They are trying to work things out
as far as child support. Now, for
several months, they've been in mediation, and
they are ironing out a deal
that means that he has to up his monthly payments to her
for their 4-year-old daughter.
She was trying to get $21,000 a month.
Before that, she was getting about $2,500 per month.
Now, they're saying she's not going to get that huge increase
that she wanted, but she will get an increase
in the child support payments.
And as part of the deal, he's also buying her a new house.
He's also going to pay $100,000 of her legal
costs and they're still ironing out
the custody split. So at least they're working it out.
Yeah, but how much money does Chris Brown spend
on his daughter, you know, just regularly?
Shouldn't that be factored in? Because he's
with his daughter. He takes care of his daughter.
Shouldn't that be factored in? But I think they also factor
in where the daughter stays the majority of the time.
With the mom. With the mom, yeah.
Yeah, so he agreed to buy her a house and and his daughter's going to live in that house.
And you would want her to be in a nice house.
Absolutely.
But if I build you a new house, I should not have to pay you any increase in child support monthly.
I'm building you a new house.
Well, you got to pay for rent, but there's other things.
You got to pay for food, activities.
I'm building you a new house, and I'm already taking care of my daughter anyway.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
We don't know what the expenses are as far like schooling, nanny, extracurricular
things.
I'm sure he pays for that anyway.
Like imagine how much does it cost to pay a nanny per month, say?
I'm sure he would pay a nanny.
No, I'm just asking like in general because I don't have kids.
A living nanny could be about, I would say $1,500 a week.
A month.
Oh, so about $6,000 a month.
If it's a living nanny that lives there six days a week, yeah, $1,500.
I'm paying you $21,000 a month.
You're going to take care of your own nanny bill. Well, it's not going to be $21,000, but she is going to get more than $2,500 a month. If it's a living nanny that lives there six days a week, I'm paying you $21,000 a month. You're going to take care of your own nanny bill.
Well, it's not going to be $21,000, but she is going to get
more than $2,500 a month.
Alright, now Lil Wayne is going to be on
Saturday Night Live. That's going to happen
November 10th. So he's
returning there. He's going to be the third
rapper to perform so far during this
44th season. It was Kanye West
that was on and Travis Scott was
on as well. The most impressive thing about Lil Wayne right
now is that he is rocking his bald spots
proudly. Drop one of the clues bombs for Lil Wayne.
Lil Wayne is clearly going bald up top. It's a lot
of thinning. Is it? And he's still rocking
them dreads with the George Jefferson.
Oh my goodness. Either that or he got alopecia. One of the two.
Now it looks like 50 Cent is doing
a power prequel. We don't know how true this is
because you know with 50 Cent, you can never tell.
But he posted, my power spinoff is so crazy. I'm doing the prequel. We don't know how true this is because you know we're 50 Cent. You can never tell. But he posted, My Power spinoff is so
crazy. I'm doing the prequel. Wait till you see
this. It's TGE Influence
The Golden Era South Side. We Outside
1988. Boom. I heard in the prequel
you're going to find out why Amari Harwick don't like to
take pictures. Shut up, man. Leave me alone.
Alright, well in the picture
that he posted, he's sitting on a police car's
hood, but it's an older police car, so it looks like
it is from the 80s. So we'll see what
happens with that. Now, Candace Owens
has apologized to Kanye West.
We've all been watching this play out, right?
She actually had done an interview
and told Page Six that her
dear friend Kanye had
been involved with doing the logo
for Blexit. These are the shirts that she's doing
that's trying to get people to
black people to not be Democrats and to exit from being Democrats.
Now, he had posted, I introduced Candace to the person who made the logo
and they didn't want their name on it, so she used mine.
I never wanted any association with Blexit.
I have nothing to do with it.
My eyes are now wide open and now I realize I've been used to spread messages I don't believe in.
I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative.
Well, Candace Owen has responded to that
and has apologized.
She said,
if I had to imagine what it would feel like
to have a bullet pierce my heart,
it would be exactly like the moment I learned
Kanye told the world he felt I had used him.
I never once said that Kanye designed
the t-shirts for Blexit.
She said I would like to publicly apologize to him for any undue stress.
I thought that's exactly what she said.
The logo.
I don't know.
I don't.
Listen, I'm confused.
But she's backtracking now.
She said, I would like to publicly apologize to him for any undue stress or pain.
The effort to correct that rumor has caused him his business relationships or his family.
He simply never designed them.
Well, you know, in life, if you can't be used, you're useless.
But you shouldn't allow people to misuse you.
This is a clear example of him being misused.
Right.
So now the pro-Trump activists are upset that Kanye is distancing himself from politics.
They looked at him as an ally.
So they feel like that whole situation has got fired.
You definitely got to cut off those kind of friends, though.
Those friends that use you in that way. And they're not really your peoples like that whole situation has backfired. You definitely got to cut off those kind of friends, though. Those friends that use you in that way,
and they're not really your peoples like that to begin with,
but they name drop you to get things for themselves.
So I don't know if she's trying to say the quote that they have in the New York Post
where she said that they were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero Kanye West.
If she's saying that she never said that, or...
That's what I thought she said. I mean, that's what I read.
Right. I don't know. Or is she saying he never designed the t-shirts?
Just the logo.
I really, I don't know.
Are y'all voting on November 6th?
Of course.
Oh, okay.
Go vote.
I already have my card and everything.
I'm ready to go.
All right.
We're going to be in Miami tomorrow, too, by the way.
Tomorrow.
We're going to be broadcasting live from Miami,
dropping the clues bombs for the MIAO,
because we're going to be down there encouraging people to vote early.
You know, because there's so much voter suppression
going on and so many things that they can
do to keep you away from the polls on November
6th and make it very difficult for you to vote
on November 6th. So we're going to be down there
tomorrow encouraging people to vote
early and we're going to be giving away
free breakfast. Right. Okay.
Let me give them the name of the spot first
since I just said all of that. You said all of that
and didn't tell people where to come.
Hold on. I'm pulling it up in my goddamn phone.
We're going to be at the Miami Soul Cafe 16194
Northwest 27th Avenue
Miami Gardens, Florida.
There you go.
I can't read that little small print.
You need to go back to Del Aruso then.
You need to go back to Del Aruso then.
What the hell just happened? I was reading so fine and then I just couldn't see it anymore. Oh my goodness. back to Del Aruso then. You need to go back to Del Aruso then. I was like, well, what the hell
just happened?
I was reading so fine
and then I just
couldn't see it anymore.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, yes, we'll be
in Miami tomorrow.
All right.
I guess that is
your rumor report.
Now, Charlemagne.
Yes.
One, why do you
still have your costume on?
Well, my Iron Man costume?
Well, I don't have
the whole costume on.
I just have the hands on
because it has
the repulsors on it.
And the helmet.
Why?
Because it costs a lot of money.
You want to get your full money.
Even when it's not Halloween.
How much did it cost?
Don't worry about that.
How much?
Enough.
All right?
Okay, I work hard.
I'm just asking.
I work very hard.
But donkey of the day is going to a young lady named Shelby Heenan.
I hate when rookies, I hate when adults make rookie mistakes, and she
made a rookie mistake yesterday. Alright, we'll get
into that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Don't be a donkey,
because right now you want some real donkey shit.
It's time for
Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel
I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the
heat.
Did she get donkey in the name, please, Debbie? Absolutely.
I have become donkey of the day
Breakfast club, bitches
You're a donkey
Donkey of the day for Thursday, November 1st
Goes to a nurse at St. Luke's Hospital
In Missouri
Her name is Shelby Heenan
Now listen, I really can't stand to see grown people
Making rookie mistakes
It's a couple of issues that I'm just not debating anymore
Okay, the why white people can't say the N-word convo,
even if it's in a rap song, is one of them.
And the other usually happens around this time of year,
and it's the why can't white people wear blackface convo.
Yesterday was Halloween.
And listen, man, here's the thing.
Everybody has the freedom to do what it is that they want to do.
You can say what you want.
You can do what you want.
But you are not free from the consequences of those words and actions, okay?
Everything has a cost.
And if you're not willing to pay the price,
then don't do or say whatever it is you want.
Now, Shelby Heenan is a white woman.
I don't know if they don't have Wi-Fi in this particular town in Missouri
or if she doesn't watch TV or maybe she's in her own little echo chamber
where it's just her and her white friends discussing why they should be able to wear blackface. Well,
Shelby is also the latest in a long line of Caucasians who have had to learn the harder way
about wearing blackface. Let's go to KCTV CBS 5 for the report, please.
Tonight, a nurse here at St. Luke's East in Lee's Summit is out of a job
after posting a photo of herself to social media.
This is the post from Shelby Heenan's now deactivated Facebook page,
where she and another are seen in blackface.
Heenan captioning the photo, Jay-Z and Beyonce.
It was just last week Megan Kelly was fired from NBC
after saying she didn't understand why dressing in blackface was so offensive
that it didn't bother anyone back when she was a kid.
Now, St. Luke's Hospital says it learned about that social media post yesterday,
and by lunchtime today, Heenan was no longer an employee here.
Shelby, Shelby, Shelby, why?
Megyn Kelly just died on that cross last week.
Did you not pay attention to the signs in your life?
Did you not see the backlash to Megyn Kelly when she on that cross last week. Do you not pay attention to the signs in your life? Did you not see the backlash to Megyn Kelly
when she asked that question last week?
Shelby, smart people learn from their own mistakes.
Wise people learn from the mistakes of others.
If Megyn Kelly got fired because she simply pondered the question,
why can't white people wear blackface,
then what do you think would happen to a white person
who actually said F it, threw mayonnaise to the wind,
and wore blackface?
Play Megyn Kelly from last week because y'all must have forgotten.
That is racist because truly you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts
on blackface for Halloween or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween.
Like back when I was a kid, that was okay as long as you were dressing up as like a
character.
There was a controversy on The Real Housewives of New York with Luann as she dresses Diana
Ross and she made
her skin look darker than it really is and people said that that was racist and i don't know i felt
like who doesn't love diana ross she wants to look like diana ross for one day i don't know how like
that got racist on halloween see when megan kelly says things like she doesn't know why white people
can't wear blackface it was okay when she was a kid. That's because it was probably okay because she clearly was around nothing but white people growing up.
And there was no black people around.
White people who truly know history to tell you why that's not okay.
And the white people who do know the history of blackface,
they probably agree with it, so they don't give a damn.
So listen, for the billionth time,
here is Dr. Matthew Osborne,
Associate Professor of History at the University
of Missouri, Kansas City. This man is in your state, Shelby. He knows the history of blackface.
Let's hear it. It was meant to denigrate and lampoon African-American people, often in settings
that were meant to show black people in a position of servitude.
Why are you all willing to ruin your lives for blackface?
I understand why you would want this melanin.
It is indeed a privilege to be black, so I understand why you want to be us for Halloween.
But if someone is telling you something is offensive and you see other people getting fired for simply asking why they don't understand why white people can't do it, then what would
make you think you can get away with it? Is your privilege or sense of entitlement set up
different than any other white person who has experienced the fate of blackface? The carcassity
of privilege will never cease to amaze me. Now Shelby is unemployed, and I pray that the bronzes
she used is almost impossible to wipe off because I would love for her to experience how hard it is to get a job with black skin.
Kathy Griffin, do the honors.
Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest, hee-haw.
Hee-haw. Hee-haw.
Also a tough way to learn that you are indeed not Beyonce.
Ew.
Too much goddamn mayonnaise.
All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day.

But, yeah, I mean, I think we should try to make this happen.

Now, let me ask you a question.
How do you know if you win the race or not?

If you need relationship advice, ye right now it's the
breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy angela ye charlamagne the guy we
are the breakfast club we're in the middle of asky hello who's this hi i'm jasmine
hey jasmine what's your question for you hi i was kind of question because i just got out of uh
abusive relationship like maybe three months ago.
Congratulations to you for that, for getting out.
It's been a tough journey.
It's like I lost pretty much everything.
I lost my job, my car.
It was just a whole lot of up and down with him.
And we both like currently going to court.
But I have this childhood friend now that really likes me.
He liked me for, like, years and stuff.
And he's really good.
He's good with my kids and everything.
But I just don't like him like that.
And he's so sensitive.
I try to tell him, like, I don't have the same feelings for you or anything and stuff without trying to hurt his feelings.
But it seems like it goes in one
ear and out the other. Well, I
feel like this, Jasmine. You gotta take
care of you right now, right?
You've gone through a lot and
during that time period,
I'm sure it was really difficult. I'm sure it's
still difficult for you to try to get yourself
back on track with everything. Like you
said, you lost your job. You were in
an abusive relationship.
I feel like you got to put Jasmine first.
If somebody's feelings gets hurt, so be it.
If that's really your friend
and you said that's your childhood friend,
he should understand.
And if not, then he's not your friend.
So don't worry about his feelings.
Worry about yourself.
You don't want to be with him.
Guess what?
Hurting his feelings right now
will save him from getting hurt later.
You can't force yourself to be with somebody you don't
want to be with. Why would you do that? And if
somebody doesn't understand that, then that's
whack of them.
So,
Jasmine, I just want to say I commend
you for getting out of your situation.
Be a strong woman and go for what you deserve,
but take your time and don't do
anything that you don't want to do.
Okay.
All right, Mama.
Good luck.
All right.
We love you, Jasmine.
Love you guys, too.
Hi, Solomon.
Peace, peace, peace.
All right.
Ask Yee.
800-585-1051.
If you need advice, relationship advice, or any type of advice, you can call Yee.
Now, we got rumors on the way, Yee?
Yes, and you know you can always find love online,
but we'll tell you what TV personality actually met her husband on a dating website.
All right, we'll get into all that when we come back.
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 to these rumors.
Let's talk who found their boo online.
This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club.
Well, Chef Carla Hall, you know her from The Chew.
She actually was talking about how she met her husband on Match.com.
She was 42 years old, and she said they would have never met without the help of technology.
She said, I was 42 and single.
My mother would call me every Saturday saying, Carla, are you going out?
Are you going to church? What are you doing? Are you going to the grocery
store? What are you doing? And she said she wasn't dating, but you know, she ended up going on
match.com. And she said, when he found me, it was the first day that I actually had gone on to
match.com. So when they went on their first date, he said, I remember as soon as I saw her, my
immediate thought was I'm done. And he said, he put his hand on top of her hand across the table.
She didn't pull her hand away, and that was it.
And they ended up getting married right away.
Well, listen, man, that's good because that gives hope to a lot of my single homegirls.
I have so many single homegirls who are in need of a blessing in the form of a man,
and they can't seem to get that blessing yet.
So that gives them hope.
Salute to Alicia Renee and Zuri Hall and Brisha Webb.
You know, God got a plan for you all.
Well, maybe they should go online if they're serious about wanting to find somebody,
or maybe they're having a good time being here.
That's what I just said.
That's why I said it gives them hope.
Christian Mingle.
Would you stop?
Why do you keep advertising Christian Mingle?
I don't know.
All right, well, she found this on Match.com.
Nice place to meet somebody, Christian Mingle.
All right, French Montana. He actually is Well, she found this on Match.com. Nice place to meet somebody. Christian Mingle. All right.
French Montana.
He actually is doing even more good deeds in Africa.
Now he is working with the Sabe School of Fidamere Sultan District. He said his donation is going to provide supplies and sustain the classrooms for at least a few years.
And he's doing two different preschool classrooms.
So that's really dope.
As you guys know, he's been raising money sometime
now in Africa.
So shout out to French Montana for his
good deeds. That's dope. Shout out to French.
Now we told you about the Mac Miller tribute concert that
happened yesterday. Well, now Lil Xan has
canceled some shows. He said everything is just taking
a toll on him. He canceled five
upcoming shows because
after a long hours in the studio
he recorded a new album called Be Safe.
The album is a tribute album to Mac Miller,
and he himself is just taking some time to make sure
that he's good to go personally.
So as we know, it's important to do those things.
Absolutely.
Rest in peace, Mac Miller, man.
All right, Jason Mitchell, you know him as the actor from The Chi,
and you also know him from Straight Outta Compton, obviously.
Well, he is now going to be
joining the cast
of the Zola movie.
You guys remember
the whole Zola story
that played out on Twitter?
No.
Explain it to us.
So the story of Zola
is a stripper
who went on her
social media timeline
and she talked about
what happened
when she went on a road trip
with a sex worker
and things went wrong.
You don't remember
this whole saga
playing out on Twitter
and then he decided
to make a movie out of it?
I do remember that whole situation.
So now Jason Mitchell has signed on,
and he's going to be a co-star in that movie.
Should be interesting.

But we're independents.
We're independents. of them have had to but we're independent we're independent and we know that we've lived long

Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag.
This is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
