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.

The tip of the cap, there's another one gone.
Each episode is about a different, inspiring figure from history.
Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus
nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
Check it.
And it began with me.
Did you know, did you know?
I wouldn't give up my seat.
Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment.
Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.
Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.

Sleep tight, if you can.
Listen to Haunting on the iHeartRadio app. The Breakfast Club. The show you love to hate.
From the East to the West Coast.
DJ Envy.
Angela Yee.
Charlamagne Tha God.
The realest show on the planet.
This is why I respect this show, because this is a voice to society.
Changing the game.
You guys are the coveted morning show, but y'all earning it.
Impacting the culture.
They wake up in the morning and they want to hear that Breakfast Club.
The world's most dangerous morning show.
We in the house.
Good morning, USA! I could just see like a little bit of it looking through the camera. Uh-huh. But you got it all the way done.
Like this is.
Now let's direct the show.
Should I get it halfway done?
The braid I saw yesterday looked really good.
But somebody posted a very unflattering picture of you yesterday on Breakfast Club's Twitter page.
Oh, as usual.
It was a bad screenshot.
No, let me see.
Yes, it was.
I don't know why they keep doing that to me. You got your
hair officially done. Like, this is all the
way braided. This is like, what was the Janet Jackson?
This is like Poetic Justice, right? Or like
Stella Garland. It's funny to change what Poetic Justice is.
You're right. You're so right. I'm sorry.
But what made you get everything? Like,
that looked like it took a long time.
It took about two hours.
Why are you tripping? It's because it's braids. It's just braids.
Yeah, this is, you know, culturally we've gotten braids for decades and centuries.
Jesus Christ.
It's actually very easy because then you can do whatever you want to do.
You don't have to worry about doing your hair.
Now, why did you decide to do this?
Are you going on vacation or?
No, just because.
Just something different?
Yeah, it's just easy.
Get up and go.
I don't have to do anything to my hair.
Why are you acting like you ain't never seen a woman with braids before?
I've never seen Angela Yee with braids.
We didn't grow up together.
But I've seen you the last seven years.
She's resorting back to her youth.
You know what?
Right by the juice bar a block away, there's a shop where they braid hair.
And I was like, all right, I'm going to just get my hair braided.
I'm tired of doing my hair every day.
Now, you look fully black now.
Fully black.
The picture that was up on Breakfast Club's page yesterday,
Angela did look like she was undercover in a marijuana sting operation.
She had on a dread wig, and she was just going in there to buy a couple pounds on the low.
Who got the kush for the low?
A pound of kush?
Yeah, mine.
No, but when I seen it, I was like, yo, she looks black.
And my hair is really thick, so whenever I get my hair braided and people start braiding my hair,
they're always like, you have a lot more hair than I thought you did.
Oh.
All right.
Well, now that envy is over, the curious case of Angel Yee's braids.
And you know, yesterday I...
He's never seen a woman with braids before.
Never seen Yee.
Yesterday I had my book club meeting, which was really fun, in Brooklyn.
And we did this book, Bed, Style is Burning.
Shout out to the author, Brian Platt. So, he actually came to the book club meeting, which was really fun, in Brooklyn. And we did this book, Bed, Stye is Burning. Shout out to the author, Brian Platt.
He actually came to the book club yesterday.
And his book is a fictional book, but it's kind of based on certain realities
because he is a white Jewish man who lives in Bed, Stye,
but he was the only white person on the block when he bought his house.
So it kind of talks about gentrification.
And it's a fictional story about some unrest in the neighborhood
because a young black kid was shot ten times
and then there was a black and
white clash and, you know.
So basically, this guy you're talking about
was the genesis of gentrification, basically.
He was the first white guy in the block and he
called all his friends and they pushed all the black people out of the block.
That's what the book is about? I'm going to read this one.
Yeah, so it's a fictional novel, though, but it was
interesting because this was the first one that he did that was basically all black people at the book is about? I'm going to read this one. Yeah, so it's a fictional novel, though, but it was interesting because this was the first one that he did
that was basically all black people at the book club.
He had done other ones, but this was the first one.
So it was interesting, the questions that people had for him
and what people had to say about gentrification.
He's going to gentrify your book club.
Next book club, he's going to push all the black people out.
Now, is that all your hair?
Of course.
Oh, my God.
Are you crazy? I've never seen it. I'm curious. No, you can't touch a black the black people out. Now, is that all your hair? Of course. Oh, my God. Can I touch it?
Jesus Christ, man.
Can I touch it?
I've never seen it.
I'm curious.
No, you can't touch a black woman's hair.
What's wrong with you?
You're really mopping it to a white person right between our eyes.
No, I'm not.
Can I touch your hair?
Listen, man, my daughter goes to a school with predominantly white people.
And I bet they ask.
God bless those Caucasians.
Let me tell you something, man.
One day, we pulled up to one of her track meets, and her mom had just did her hair,
and she had just let her hair out, and she had a pink scarf on,
and all of those children came touching her hair.
I had me a damn fit.
Get your hands out of my child's hair.
I'm screaming at the parents, don't you let your kids touch my child's hair.
You ain't never seen hair before?
The hell's wrong with y'all?
So I can't touch it?
No, you can't touch her hair, man.
I'm not talking to you.
Look at this guy.
That's not your daughter. I can't stand it? No, you can't touch her hair, man. I'm not talking to you. Look at this guy. That's not your daughter.
I can't stand that. You need to listen to Solange. You cannot touch my hair.
Right? Don't touch my hair. That's crazy.
What's wrong with you, man? I would let you touch mine
if I had. You don't have any. Alright.
Well, anyway, we got front page news. What are we talking about?
Man, we are going to be talking about
Texas, of course. We'll continue to update you
on what's going on there
and rescues and what you can do to help.
All right.
We'll get into all that when we come back.
Here's Cardi B, Bodak Yellow.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front page news.
Now, give me an update on Hurricane Harvey.
What's going on now, Yee?
Right.
Well, right now they are saying that there are at least 37 deaths related to Hurricane Harvey and its aftermath.
And they're saying the worst is yet to come.
Still, the heavy rain is over, but they still have unprecedented flooding and thousands of people who have taken refuge in shelters.
They are not sure of their future.
Families are still looking for missing relatives.
It's been six days since the storm made its first landfall. And local officials say the city's water pump station has failed
and they need to wait until floodwaters recede to make any repairs.
In Port Arthur, there are about 55,000 residents
who woke up to the rising waters when the storm made its final landfall.
And that happened yesterday morning.
A lot of people have no food,
no water. Some people do have power. Some people don't. They have no way of getting around right now. There was a doctor that actually ended up getting in a canoe to reach a 16-year-old boy
that needed emergency surgery. Dr. Stephen Kimmel, here's what he had to say. You know, certainly
somebody had to take care of this young man.
I thought, well, if I can do it, I certainly should.
And so he was on the way to our institution, and I was glad I was able to make it.
Right, so imagine that they couldn't reach him in any other way.
They couldn't drive there, so they had to take a canoe.
Then he got on a fire truck and then back on a canoe just to reach this 16-year-old to perform emergency surgery.
But some really tragic stories, and you can imagine what the aftermath
of something like this will be.
They said one person, they found a mother whose body was floating
about a half a mile from her car, and her daughter, who has hypothermia,
was clinging to her dead body when they found them.
Just really sad, tragic.
One man was electrocuted while walking in floodwaters,
and just awful stories. Salute to Tr That's crazy. One man was electrocuted while walking in floodwaters and just awful stories.
Salute to Trader Truth too,
man. Trader Truth been out there on rescue missions
the past all week. You know, he
helped rescue our NBA guard, Jonathan Simmons
during the flood. And Trey hit me yesterday.
Trey said, you ready to put together
a game plan? Because me personally,
I wasn't making a move until I
talked to people in the field. You know, guys like
Trader Truth, like, you know, people like Jay Prince that I know from Houston that are actually there because I want to.
DJ, Mr. Rogers.
Mr. Rogers.
I want to give my time and my energy and my resources to the right people.
And J.J. Watt has been working really hard.
His goal is to get to $10 million now.
And here's what J.J. Watt has to say.
So the first process that we have going on is we're filling up semi-trucks.
Semi-truck drivers have donated their time, their trucks.
People are donating.
Businesses are donating.
And then we're using your money to purchase water, generators, food, clothing, cleaning supplies, things like that.
And then we're going to set up shop in a few different areas around Houston.
My teammates are going to help me distribute those materials so that we can get this directly to the people.
I'll keep you guys updated as we go.
Houston, stay strong.
Now, do we have an address?
Because I was telling you my daughter collected a bunch of clothes.
She has like five, six bags of clothes that she's collected.
But I don't know where to send it to.
I mean, yeah, but they're going to know in a minute.
That's why a lot of people in Houston were saying, you know, wait a while
because some of these people are going to be in shelters.
And once they get to these shelters, then these shelters are going to need resources for these people.
Right.
That's why it's good to wait until, like, you know, today, tomorrow.
Okay.
Like, we'll start getting more information on where we can actually.
Where they can access the roads again.
Yeah.
All right.
Where we can actually allocate our resources.
Well, that is your front page news.
All right.
Well, get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now.
Or maybe you had a bad night, bad morning, you want to vent, call us.
Or if you feel blessed, 800-585-1051.
Call us right now.
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.
Say it, say it, say it.
Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
This is John.
Hey, John, get it off your chest, bro.
No, I'm blessed, actually.
Today's my daughter's third birthday.
Okay.
I'm happy.
You sure the baby's okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm sure.
I've been with my girl for 10 years, Charlamagne, just like you.
True.
Don't worry about me.
I got 19.
19 years, sir.
Give me my nine.
I got 24.
I got 10, so I'm coming up.
Damn, why y'all making him feel bad?
I was having sex with my beautiful wife last night.
Made her orgasm six times.
All right, gross.
You lie.
I promise you I did.
I felt like a champ like yesterday.
You a liar.
Or she's a great faker.
Yeah, she's definitely a great faker.
Oh, you took a gas station pill.
No, she's a s***.
That's all I know.
It was popping last night.
Could be urine.
Yes. She definitely peed on you. All right, man. I still got it. No, she's a s***. That's how I know it was popping last night. Could be urine. Yes.
She definitely peed on you.
All right, man, I still got it.
In your mouth?
That too.
That was the first one.
Hello, who's this?
This is Andrea.
Hey, Andrea, get it off your chest.
I was just calling because I just feel so compelled to help those people in Houston.
And because I hear you guys speaking about it.
I go to a nursing school and I would like to go in today and announce to the students who
want to help. So when I get that money, I would like
to know where can I
send it to Charlemagne because he's
so involved in it. So I could send
it to him so he could send it to the appropriate
charity.
I appreciate
how y'all see
me, but you do not have to send
me any money to send to Houston, okay?
There's plenty of ways that you can get those resources directly to Houston, okay?
Now, she was asking you might know where to send it, but Charlamagne don't know yet.
Oh, no, I don't know yet, but I promise you when I do know, I will let everybody know.
I will say if you go to Bun B's wife's Instagram page, what's her Instagram page?
I think it's one.
Her page is oneUGKWifey.
She's got a link up to a
good place that you can
donate some money to. Because Bambi said
that we should donate to a faith-based organization.
I actually donated to Houston Food
Bank and I did some research on them.
And they've been doing great things in the community in
Houston, you know, for quite some
time now. I went all the way back and searched and
researched everything. And it tells you exactly what your money is going to. And you can also for quite some time now. I went all the way back and searched and researched everything and it tells you exactly
what your money is going to and you can
also volunteer as well to help.
I promise you we'll have more information for you tomorrow
on some of the best places to send resources.
Alright, well thank you mama for
calling. Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051. If you're
upset, you need to vent, hit us up right
now or if you feel blessed, call us.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
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. So you better have the same energy.
Hello, who's this?
Good morning.
Hey, get it off your chest, mama.
Well, I'm a bus driver, and I'm really mad that it's the fourth day of school,
and these parents are dropping their kids off at the bus stop in their pajamas or whatever,
their little robe, their little doobie rags.
But your child is dressed in Jordan, but your child is also bad as hell.
And then when your child is reprimanded or they get
written up, you want to come back to the bus stop
and cut the bus driver out. I do not
get paid to babysit or discipline your child.
Get your life together and your
priorities straight and take care of your child.
If you don't get paid to discipline people's kids, why are you
writing them up then? Huh? Stop disciplining
my kids if you don't get paid to do it.
No, I don't get paid to reprimand your child.
I'm doing my job for the safety of my child. She's just reporting when you mess up, but she's not reprimanding you. You just said you don't get paid to do it? No, I don't get paid to reprimand your child. I'm doing my job for the safety of my child.
She's just reporting when you mess up, but she's not reprimanding you.
You just said you don't get paid to reprimand
or discipline my child, so don't do it.
Well, see, the only thing with bus drivers that I have a problem with
sometimes is you can't possibly
see exactly what's going on
on that bus. You know, you can assume
and them kids get in trouble for no reason, so a lot
of times parents come to the bus and ask,
what happened? Tell me what's going on.
I've had an incident a couple of years ago like that.
I have to go off of what I see.
If I tell you to stop standing up, then that's what I'm going to write you up for.
I'm not the bus driver that nicks it.
However, if your child is coercing or touching on another child inappropriately,
yes, I'm going to write you up.
What do you mean?
That's why a lot of kids have their first little encounters with opposite sex.
Not with no second grader.
They're not on my bus.
Not on my bus.
No, not on your bus.
You're right.
You better report that.
Thank you, Mom.
I was fresh.
I'm going to tell you something else, too.
We used to ball up paper, and on the count of three, we'd all throw it at the bus driver.
And I'd be the bus driver.
Exactly.
I'd be the bus driver to Exactly. I'd be the bus driver to write,
everybody up in the back.
Listen, we used to do that all the time
until somebody went O.D. and threw a battery.
See, there's always that one kid.
That was probably you, right?
No, I didn't throw no battery.
I used to stick to paper.
Yes, it was.
All right.
Y'all have a good day.
You too, mama.
Have a good day.
But I don't raise her blood pressure
thinking about little badass kids on the bus.
We used to open the emergency door,
all kind of stuff.
Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to on the bus. We used to open the emergency door, all kind of stuff. Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent, or if you feel blessed, you can always call us.
Now, you got rumors on the way?
Yes, we are going to be talking about rumors, and let's squash some of them.
As far as Master P, was he really dating Tiny behind T.I.'s back?
We'll tell you what he had to say.
Where did that come from?
You didn't see all these stories that he had to actually respond.
Really?
No, I didn't hear all those stories.
You never put that in your rumor report this week.
I didn't believe it.
Well, we're going to find out about it when we come back.
Keep it locked.
This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Hey, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.
We got Angelina Jolie's rumor report.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ and the Angel E Show.
Oh, he did it already?
This guy here.
This guy here.
Get the synchronicity together, please, ladies and gentlemen.
I didn't have the headphones on.
I didn't know.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, gosh.
I didn't know.
Radio 101.
Put your goddamn headphones on.
I didn't know.
He put shit on there before I was ready to rock and roll.
Oh, my God.
And the producers in the room don't tell you that I'm opening the break?
No, they didn't. You know what? This show used to be way better. Oh, my God. And the producers in the room don't tell you that I'm opening the break? No, they didn't.
You know what?
This show used to be way better.
It was a well-oiled machine.
It used to be a well-oiled machine, God damn it.
Jesus Christ, man.
Do it again.
Do it again right now, Ron.
Do it again, Ron.
All right, here we go.
All right, that's right.
DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to the rumors.
We're talking Master P.
It's about time.
What's going on?
Rumor Report. Rumor Report.
This is The Rumor Report.
With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well, thank you both for those three intros
to The Rumor Report.
Disgusting radio that was.
I'm not gonna lie. I'm gonna blame it on Nori.
Nori sent me a single,
his first single,
and I was listening to it
and I wasn't paying attention
to what was going on in the room.
You weren't paying attention?
So none of y'all focused.
I'm the only person focused.
I'm focused.
I'm sitting right here
waiting on y'all to stop
going back and forth.
We gave you three intros.
All right, now let's discuss Master P.
Master P is responding
to these rumors.
Now, both of y'all didn't hear this.
No.
But there was a headline
that he was dating Tiny
and giving her everything
that she can't get
from her estranged husband.
He gave her a new house
and he just gave her
her own basketball team
in the new GMGB.
That's the Global Mixed Gender
Basketball League.
Well, Master P felt compelled
to respond to this.
He said,
social media is a gift and a curse.
Let's kill this body language
rumor right now.
No, I'm not dating Tiny.
I met her for the first time
at a GMGB conference
and took a picture.
Just for the record,
we're doing business.
She's the owner of a team
and I'm an owner of a team.
People must be bored
and have no life
to entertain this
false accusation.
The lady that created
this rumor,
stop it.
The truth shall set you free.
You owe everybody an apology.
I got a lot of respect for Tia. I wish him and his family nothing but the best. I never even heard that rumor. Stop it. The truth shall set you free. You owe everybody an apology. I got a lot of respect for T.I.
I wish him and his family nothing but the best.
I never even heard that rumor.
I hate when I hear a rumor from
the person that the rumor is about.
Right. You wouldn't even have known about it. I wouldn't even know
about it. I'm like, I didn't know that.
You just told me. Alright, well he goes on
to talk about how you should use your voice
for positive things like Hurricane
Harvey that our people need. Now, Master P did use his voice to talk about how you should use your voice for positive things like Hurricane Harvey that our people need.
Now, Master P did use his voice to talk about Harvey.
Here's what he had to say about the Kevin Hart challenge.
I'm blessed that Kevin Hart made a donation,
but I feel like he don't have to do that because it's not necessary.
I mean, a lot of people are going to do what they want to do.
It's their money.
It don't matter what it is as long as you give it from your heart.
All right.
Well, people were very critical.
Yeah, people were critical saying that he was coming at Kevin Hart. So now he responded
to that backlash.
I have nothing against Kevin Hart,
so y'all, whatever y'all see on the
soundbite from TMZ, don't
get it twisted. And I gave a lot of money,
but I don't have to sit around and talk about it
and I don't need no celebrity to tell me what I
need to do. My people need water, food.
They need shelter.
They need to get back in their home.
We need to help the elderly.
We need to help the kids.
I've been through Hurricane Katrina, so I know.
Ten years from now, we're going to need these same celebrities.
We don't just need them one time.
It don't matter how people choose to give.
It don't matter what people choose to give.
If you want to announce it via social media, cool.
If you don't want to announce it via social media, cool. If you don't want to announce it via social media, cool.
But my thing is I'm not knocking anybody for how they choose to give.
The only thing I think we should be critiquing people on is where they give.
Because we know these organizations like the Red Cross have historically not gotten that money directly to the people.
That's the only thing we should be chastising people on.
All right, well, let me give you some more things.
Bambi and Scooter Braun are planning a Houston benefit for September 12th.
Now, Scooter Braun manages Justin Bieber.
He produced that Ariana Grande benefit show that she did in Manchester back in June.
So they are right now gathering talent and organizing logistics for the event.
So they said it's tentatively scheduled for September 12th.
That's when they are planning on doing that.
And we spoke to Bambi yesterday
on the Breakfast Club. Other things that have
happened, Ethica, the underwear brand,
has just donated $250,000
worth of undergarments
for people there.
People are going to need drawers. Don't think that people
are definitely going to need drawers.
And Leonardo DiCaprio has donated
$1 million.
To who, though?
What organization?
The United Way Harvey Recovery Fund.
It's used for both short- and long-term relief.
The entire amount goes to help victims of the storm. So that's a newly established fund to help victims of the hurricane.
You've got to bet these organizations,
especially when it's these newly established places like that,
because that could just be the Red Cross under a different name.
And we also told you that J.J. Watt has already raised $7 million, and he is now targeting to raise $10 million.
And his crowdfunding campaign started with a $500,000 donation and then has already climbed into the millions.
So he is now setting that goal, we told you, of $10 million.
And he shared his plans for the money, saying that his team is filling up semi-trucks.
They're distributing water, food, and other supplies throughout Houston.
Do we know the Red Cross is bad, though?
What do you mean, do we know the Red Cross is bad?
You can also, by the way, for the Red Cross, you don't have to donate money.
You can also go and donate and volunteer.
So if you want to do something through the Red Cross, you can also do that.
All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Rumor Report.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy
Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are
The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news.
Now, give me some Hurricane Harvey updates,
please. Right, they're saying right
now, with Hurricane Harvey, as
you can imagine, the aftermath,
the worst is still yet to come.
The heavy rain is over, but there's so much
devastation right now. A lot of people have experienced unprecedented flooding.
People are trapped in their homes.
Other people have taken refuge in shelters.
They don't know what's going to happen in the future.
Families are torn apart.
Some people are looking for missing relatives.
This all happened starting six days ago.
And at least 37 people have died related to Hurricane Harvey and the aftermath. So one story in particular that was heartbreaking was a mother whose body was floating near her car.
And they found her daughter, who is in stable condition with hypothermia, clinging to her dead body.
That's sad.
Really sad story.
That's horrible.
The city's water pump station has failed.
And that's in Beaumont, Texas, in Port Arthur.
They said right now about 55,000 residents woke up to rising waters when the storm made its final landfall on Wednesday.
And one of the shelters had to be evacuated after the water came inside.
And other residents, like we said, have no power, no food, no water.
They just can't do anything and can't go anywhere.
Now, one doctor, Dr. Stephen Kimmel, who is a general pediatric surgeon at Clear Lake Regional Medical Center in Webster, Texas,
left his house because a 16-year-old
boy needed emergency surgery
and couldn't get to him because he couldn't drive
on the road, so he ended up getting in a canoe
and getting into a firefighter's pickup truck
and then back in a canoe just to get to the
16-year-old to perform that surgery.
The young man, Jacob Terazis,
was facing permanent damage if the surgery
wasn't performed immediately.
So a lot of people going above and beyond right now to help each other and come together.
That's great.
Yes.
Now, the U.S. military is sending warships and aircraft to Texas with those floodwaters having swallowed some entire cities.
Right now, there's about 12,000 troops there, and they have managed to rescue thousands of stranded residents from the water and from their homes as well.
So right now, that's what's going on in Texas.
All right.
All right.
Well, that's front page news.
Now, when we come back, let's talk about black woman's hair.
Angela, you got a new shindig.
A shindig?
That's like an event.
Well, your hair's an event. Jesus Christ. She got a new hairdo. She got a new hairdoig. A shindig? That's like an event. Oh. Well, your hair's an event.
Jesus Christ, Envy.
She got a new hairdo.
She got a new hairdo.
I just got my hair braided.
It's not that serious.
It's really not that serious.
I don't know why Envy's jumping through the window.
I think it was because of that.
It's because of that picture that they posted yesterday, and it was like a bad screenshot
of you talking, and you kind of look like Anthony Anderson in a scary movie.
And when he had the dreadlocks.
So I think that's what it was.
But it's really not that serious.
She just got her hair braided, bruh.
I've never seen he like that.
She looks black.
100% black.
Listen.
Anyway, Envy asked, could he touch my hair?
No.
I was like, no.
Absolutely not.
Get away from me.
That bothers me.
And I don't even have hair.
I don't even like this.
I don't like to see.
I don't like to see others other than white people touching black people's hair.
My daughter is nine, and my wife had just took her braids out,
so she had the puffy natural going, but she put a pink scarf over it,
and she went to track practice.
And when she got to track practice, it's like every single little Caucasian
on her team was like, what is that?
And they all went to touching her hair
and her daddy, being the righteous
ratchet ass individual he is,
started screaming, don't you touch her
hair. Get your hands out of her
hair, yelling at all the parents.
Tell your kids to keep their hands
off my daughter's hair. I don't understand
the infatuation. Now, as a woman, the worst is
when people ask you, is your hair real?
And then they go to touch your hair like they want to test and see if your hair is real.
I ain't got time for all of that.
Don't try to touch my tracks.
I don't got time for all that.
So I can't touch your hair?
Touch your own damn hair.
Why would you need to touch my hair?
I just want to see it.
It's different.
But what is touching it going to do for you?
I don't know.
I want to feel it.
Cue the salons right now.
Cue it.
My goodness.
I can't touch my hair record.
You can't touch this. It can't touch this.
It can't touch this.
So what is the question this morning, guys?
The question is, I want black women to call up and tell people why their hair is not to be touched.
It's inappropriate.
Clearly, people don't know the rules.
Clearly, people think it's okay just to walk up to random folks and touch their hair.
And don't walk up to somebody, you know, is that your hair?
Is your hair real?
Is that your real hair or not?
Is that a weave?
Is that a wig?
I don't mind that as much as I mind the touching.
Keep your goddamn hands to yourself.
Are you a black woman?
Your daughter got no friends.
I got two of them at the house.
Three.
You have three of them.
Three of them at the house.
All right? Which one he forgot. He forgot one.
By the way, when my wife goes to that school
too, and she got her hair out in the natural,
they be wilding too. Like,
oh my God, your hair's so pretty. Can I touch it?
No! Back up!
Everybody. Alright, let's talk
to some black women. What's in that hair over there?
Goodness gracious. Alright, 800-585-1051.
We're looking for black women
to call on the lines this morning and
tell us why you don't like people touching
your hair or why people can't touch your hair. Don't touch me
period, but my hair? Come on.
Alright, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning everybody.
It's DJ Envy Angela Yee.
Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, we want to talk
to black women this morning
about their hair, correct?
Yes, we do.
All right.
Now, the reason why is
I was talking to Yee this morning.
She got a new shindig,
a new hairdo.
I just got my hair braided.
That's all.
Isn't that...
Like, I did it because
I just wanted to make sure
that I didn't have to do
my hair every day.
It's a nice, easy hairdo.
I like it.
That's all.
But you don't got to touch my hair.
The beautiful thing
about raising black daughters is you start to see a lot of the struggles that black women have faced historically that you probably never paid attention to.
And one of them is definitely the hair struggle because I told y'all how my wife took out my nine-year-old daughter's braids.
I think at the time she was eight and she had the natural going, the big poofy thing.
And, you know, my wife put the pink scarf on her. And she went to track practice.
And when she pulled up on track practice, it's like every little Caucasian girl on that team ran over to touch her hair.
I remember one of the girls said, what is that?
And he went to touch her hair.
And I lost it.
Like, I blacked out.
Stop touching her hair.
Stop letting them touch your hair.
I'm telling the parents, do not let your kids, don't let your kids touch my daughter's hair.
It's not a museum exhibit.
It's not for you to come up.
Oh my God. And try to be like,
oh my God, that's so interesting. What's going on here? Okay. You gotta say so.
Hello, who's this? Good morning.
My name is Takiyah. Hey, Takiyah,
can I touch your hair? Hell no.
Tell them why. Tell them why, Akia.
First of all, my mother was a cosmetologist all my life. Once you, as a black woman, once I touch your hair? Hell no. Tell them why. Tell them why, Kia. First of all, my mother was a cosmetologist all my life.
Once you, as a black woman, once I put my hair in place,
keep your hands to your damn self.
She said hair in place, okay.
Yes.
And now my hair is natural.
So now everybody's like, ooh, can I?
No.
And that is my quick, and I have a reaction.
I move.
I drive to the side.
I see the hand going up.
I'm quick with it.
Ah, don't you do that.
No.
Right.
It's disrespectful.
You don't have to touch my hair to say that it's nice.
Why?
You need to touch it.
Okay.
I would never walk up to anyone and ask, can I touch your hair?
I just think that's a weird thing to do.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, it's Mary from Atlanta.
Hey, Mary from Atlanta. Hey, Mary from Atlanta.
Hey, Mary, can we touch your hair?
No.
Why not, Mary?
I work in corporate America,
so sometimes I may have a bob
and it's, you know, right on my neck
and then I may have some 29-inch,
28-inch weave and it's down on my back
and white folks are like,
oh my God, how did it grow so fast?
And I'm like, no.
They're like, can I touch it?
Can I just feel what it feels like? No, you can't touch
my hair. And I hate when people try to
touch my tracks and they put their
hair in there. Like, how is it in there?
How did it grow like that? That's very personal.
Yeah, even when
my wife goes to my daughter's school and she
got her hair out, they act like
it's the eighth wonder of the world.
Oh my God, your hair's so pretty. Can I touch
it? No. Okay? You can put a period's so pretty. Can I touch it? No. Okay?
You can put a period after so pretty.
That's all it should be.
Your hair's so pretty, period.
All right.
Thank you.
Geesh.
Well, Emmy, how would you feel if somebody just came up to you like, can I touch your hair?
What would she say?
You ain't touching my wife's hair.
That's a little different.
That's a little different.
What you mean?
You shouldn't let her touch your daughter's hair neither.
But I understand.
Oh, yeah, go with it.
There's kids in my daughter's school that probably never seen that type of hairdo, so they're amazed by it.
Nah, man.
I get it.
Listen.
It's like my son got cornrows right now, right?
And he has cornrows, and people want to touch his hair because they haven't seen it.
They don't see that in his school, so they be like, oh, can I touch it?
I don't have no problem with that.
You know what I tell my daughter?
If you don't have a problem with it.
I tell my daughter, you a queen, and the reason they want to touch you is because you special.
But you got to treat yourself like you a lion.
You know what that means?
When you go to that damn zoo, that lion look majestic.
That lion look royal and regal.
But ain't nobody going to touch that goddamn lion's mane because they know that lion will bite their goddamn arm off.
And that's exactly how you better treat my little princess.
So you want her to growl.
And bite somebody's arm off.
And bite somebody's arm off. See, y'all ain't black. So that's why how you better treat my little princess. So you want her to growl. And bite somebody's arm off.
See, y'all ain't black, so that's why y'all don't understand. Angela Asian
and envied Spanish, so you don't understand.
I get it, I get it. Y'all don't
understand the plight of black people. I know growing up
I went to a black school, actually.
But you ain't black. That's why you got braids looking like you
undercover selling weed.
How am I not black when my mother's black?
805-85-1051.
We're talking to black women this morning.
Why won't you let nobody touch your hair?
And play the Solange right now.
Play Solange, Don't Touch My Hair.
All right.
Boy, if we can't get Solange, Don't Touch My Hair,
we just need to cancel this little show.
We got it.
Okay.
All right, I got to get it.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Don't touch my hair When it's the feelings I bring
Don't touch my soul
When it's the rhythm I know
Don't touch my crown
DJ, DJ, DJ, DJ
They see the vision I've found
Don't touch what's there
When it's the feelings I wear
They don't understand what it means to me I went. We'll see you next time. time but this here is mine what you say to me
what you say to me
what you say to me
what you say to me
what you say to me
what you say to me
what you say to me What you say to me
What you say to me
Don't touch my pride
They say the glory is all mine
Don't test my mouth.
They say the truth is my sound. They don't understand what it means to me.
But we chose to go where we're meant to go.
They don't understand what it means to me
where we chose to
go, where we've been
to know. That was
Salon Don't Touch My Hair.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy
Angelique, Charlamagne Tha God. We are
The Breakfast Club. Now, we're talking to black
women this morning about their hair.
Alright? Now, this came from Angelique. She got
a new shindig, a new hairdo.
She got braids. I like Angelique's braids.
I don't know why Envy's making a big deal of them.
You know, but... I haven't seen them braids
in seven years. I'm just saying it just looks different.
But this is honestly
something that I've dealt with over the past
couple years just because, you know, my daughter
is eight. She goes to a school
where she's like predominantly white
and my wife took out her hair and she had the natural and she had the pink scarf on and she went to a school where she's like predominantly white and my wife took out her hair
and she had the natural and she had the pink scarf
on and she went to track practice and it's like the
whole track team all these
little young Caucasians just came oh what is that
running to touch her hair and I had
a fit. Keep your
their hands to themselves when it comes to
my daughter's hair and then when my wife goes to the
school and she got her hair out they're all like
oh my god it looks so good.
Can I touch it?
Now, when I was growing up, a lot of people used to ask to actually touch my mother's hair.
My mother has like a short kind of a like a I don't even know what kind of hairdo it is, but it kind of sticks up in the air when the way that she does it.
And she said people she actually just texted me and said people used to come up and ask to touch her hair all the time.
And that's true.
I've witnessed that.
I can't believe we still got to tell people this.
Yeah, I don't know why people do that.
I just think it's rude.
I don't know where your hands have been.
I don't need you touching my nice, good, clean hair.
Yo, how about you not an art exhibit?
You know what I'm saying?
Like, you're not some species that they've never seen before.
Admire it from afar and fall back.
All right, well, let's go to the phone lines.
Hello, who's this?
Hello? Hey, what's your name, mama?
Hey, my name is Charmaine. Hey, Charmaine.
Hi. Well, when it comes to my hair, first of all, we are
queens. And our hair is
our crown. There you go.
No, you do not have permission to randomly
touch my hair. No, randomly
touch your crown.
Excuse me, you're right. Randomly touch
my crown. I don't go around asking
to touch your melanin
black skin because I'm curious.
So no, I will
educate you.
I will educate you about
our hair because it's a big part of our culture
and how it defies gravity. So no, you
can't touch my hair without permission.
There you go, baby. I like that.
All right.
And don't even ask.
Hello, who's this?
Lanaysia.
Hey, Lanaysia.
Hey.
Okay, can we touch your hair?
No, you cannot touch my hair.
I'm a germaphobe.
I don't know where your hands have been.
That's what I'm saying.
You don't know where somebody's hands have been.
Exactly.
I don't know if you washed your hands after you went to the bathroom.
I don't know you.
None of that.
That's right.
You can look from a distance.
All right.
Hello, who's this?
This is Leanne.
How are you?
Good morning.
Hey, Leanne.
I'm calling because I am not a pet.
I do not like when people touch my hair.
I'm a black girl, and we have the blessing to do our hair in so many different ways.
There you go.
And people get confused and they're like,
oh my gosh, let me touch it.
Like, actually, no.
I've actually had a situation at my job
where someone who actually doesn't work there anymore,
she touched my hair and she was like,
I can't believe your hair is softer than mine.
I can't believe it.
Why not?
I take care of my hair.
Exactly.
Because I guess because she was white and I'm black
and she didn't think that I was supposed to have curly
hair or whatever. Okay.
Thank you, Mama. Hello, who's this?
This is Shondi.
Hey, Shondi. You be letting people touch your hair, huh?
No, no, no, no. I'm all against
that. I'm already fighting the good fight at
work. I have locks and
I'm the only black person. I'm the only black person that works work. I have locks and I'm the only black person
that works in this
doctor's office and I've even had
these white women
and European women come up and without
my permission touch my hair
and it can change your entire
day. It's infuriating. It really
is. Okay. Alright, mama.
It's like some type of entitlement. Like, why do you feel
entitled to be able to touch my hair? It's not entitlement. You're just curious. Alright. right, mama. It's like some type of entitlement. Like, why do you feel entitled to be able to touch my hair?
It's not entitlement.
You're just curious.
All right.
Listen, man.
The moral of the story is don't touch black women's hair.
I love what that young lady said.
And Solange even said that.
And don't touch my hair.
My hair is my crown.
Simply put.
So you don't just go around touching the crown of kings and queens.
So don't go around touching the crowns of black women.
Period.
All right.
Well, yeah, we got rumors on the way.
Okay, let's talk about Lonzo Ball and his reality show.
We'll give you some information.
And we have the trailer for you as well.
All right.
We'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The rumor report.
Gossip.
Gossip.
With Angela Yee.
It's the rumor report.
The Breakfast Club.
And shout out to my girl Tammy, who's on a road trip right now.
They are listening to The Breakfast Club as they do this 10-hour drive.
What up, Tammy?
Where are you driving to, Virginia?
Somewhere down south.
All right, now, Lonzo Ball, LaVar Ball, the Balls,
they're having their own reality show, as we know, right?
The Ball family.
And they just put out a trailer for that in there.
They're discussing
the mom, Tina Ball, who had suffered a stroke
back in February, and she's kind of
stayed out of the spotlight, but they're talking about
her recovery. Check it out.
Tina had a stroke. We didn't know if she
was going to live or die. That's my mom, you know.
She's always been there for me, so, you know, kind of
hit me kind of hard. I told my boys,
she's going to be fine. That's your
mom, but that's my girl. I got her.
Come on, T. Let's go.
Your mind is stronger than your body.
I just enjoy her getting better each and every day.
I love
you.
I'm there for that show. I want to see that.
Well, it actually debuts tonight.
It's gonna be on Facebook's
new watch platform. It starts tonight.
New episodes start on Sundays beginning September 10th
But you can watch the first two episodes of the show
Ball in the Family
On that Facebook new watch platform
How do you get there?
I do appointment listening on Facebook
I mean appointment watching on Facebook
You probably could go back and watch it
If you don't see it when it drops
So you gotta go to onfacebook.com to watch it. I mean, I've never used
it. It's a brand new platform, Facebook
Watch, so. I'll watch it on the plane or
something. If I'm on a flight, I'll watch that. But you know, a lot of
those platforms are spending a lot of money for
new programming like that. Original content. Yeah, they are.
Oh, I know. I got a couple coming.
Oh, you know too. Drop one of the clues, Bob,
the executive producer of Slime Seacrest,
a.k.a. Charlemagne Naga. What up,
Nori? Slime Seacrest? Yes, Nori gave. Charlamagne Tha God. What up, Nori?
Slime Seacrest?
Yes, Nori gave me that name.
And shout out to Nori.
We got Nori's first single coming up in the mix.
I'm going to play his first single featuring Pharrell.
I have nothing to do with Nori's music career.
I just do his television stuff.
So you did call him out.
But that record is amazing.
I'm going to let you know that right now.
That record is amazing.
Now let's discuss Keisha Cole.
The rumor is that she is somehow involved with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Now, I don't know how true this is, but they're saying, and she did post a picture with Floyd after the fight.
She was in Philly trying to move her concert that she had for city councilman Kenyatta
Johnson's Community Appreciation Day.
She was trying to make that concert earlier so she could fly private to get to Vegas in
time for Floyd's fight. They said she was driving everybody crazy in Philly, trying to make that concert earlier so she could fly private to get to Vegas in time for Floyd's fight.
They said she was driving everybody crazy in Philly, trying to make sure she could get to Vegas.
And she actually had her performance time changed from 7 p.m. to 2 p.m.
So she could make it to Vegas for that fight.
So she posted that picture.
And I also found out that her father, Virgil Hunter, also was a boxer and at one point had trained Floyd. Yeah, we
spoke about that. Remember? We spoke about that when she came.
Right, so, you know, they're discussing
that too, so I don't know if she has an affinity toward him
because of her dad or what, because they're trying
to make it seem like it's a dating situation.
But I don't know.
Alright, now the MTV Video Music Awards,
how has that impacted people's
sales? Alright, now
they said most of the songs across the board
have earned a 64% sales gain since the show actually aired.
Some of the biggest people that got a nice push from that,
Kendrick Lamar, they saw increases of 47% and 41%
for his songs DNA and Humble, respectively.
Also, Pink, she got a 70% overnight sales increase.
Alessia Cara's Scars to Your Beautiful Rose, 181%.
Fifth Harmony's song, Down, jumped up 205%.
And Demi Lovato, Sorry Not Sorry, up 41%.
And Logic's performance of his song, 1-800-273-8255, jumped 185% in sales.
What about Cardi B?
How many people called that phone number, though?
A lot.
Actually, that actually brought in a whole lot more.
When he first put out the video,
it actually increased the number of calls
to the suicide hotline as well.
I always wondered about stuff like that
because I'm sure it gives people
who may be needing some assistance,
some assistance,
like if you're thinking about killing yourself,
you call that line.
But I'm sure a lot of people just called that line
just to call it
so the people who needed help couldn't get through.
Right.
Well, even if you save one person, it's still worth it.
Absolutely.
You know.
Now, let's discuss Jay-Z.
He shared a new poem on Tidal.
It's called Dream On.
He also has a visual that goes with it.
Check out, in case you haven't heard it, some of that.
I'm from where dreaming ain't allowed, especially when you're dreaming aloud.
Enough to dream your self-esteem into clouds. It takes tears, sweat, blood, five cc's,
because I know what a kid in apartment five c c'd. Heaven knows all I had was hella hope.
Speed dating with destiny, I couldn't tell a nope. When I first saw stars,
television was my telescope. For me, something that could see me free was a bar. Through diamonds
in the sky that never came down. Now that's a star. All right, you can go watch the full thing
with the visuals on title. Dropping the clues bombs for hoes, damn it.
Why are you D-riding hoes so much?
Because you do it more than me.
It's like a competition up there. It's a competition up there.
No, no, but I mean, listen.
The guy is great, man.
I have no problem celebrating.
You know, everybody always wants to focus on, oh, you're always hating on people.
But then when you celebrate somebody, they say you D-riding.
Like, it's no happy medium. If you don't like something, oh, you're always hating on people, but then when you celebrate somebody, they say you're D-riding. Like, it's no happy medium.
If you don't like something, they say you're hating.
If you celebrate something, they say
that you're D-riding. So it's no happy medium.
You just have to say, oh, yes, I hate.
So if you say I'm D-riding, I'll put it like this.
If you say I'm D-riding, there's certain people in the culture
that deserve to be D-riding.
Whoa.
Ain't no whoa. It's the truth to the matter.
That's what you want to call D what you wanna call D-Rod
Just make sure you complete it
I mean look
I think
Diddy's a
I think Diddy's a
A terrible rapper
But you know
You gotta celebrate him
As far as everything
He's done for the culture
The guys like him
Should be celebrated
Yep
Guys like Dr. Dre
Should be celebrated
You know
The young boys like
Kendrick Lamar
J. Cole
They should be celebrated
Eminem
Chance the Rapper Eminem Eminem should be celebrated Cole, they should be celebrated. Eminem. Chance the Rapper. 50 Cent. Eminem.
Eminem should be celebrated. 50. Look, 50
should be celebrated. Like, certain people in our culture,
we should absolutely be lifting up and celebrating.
Alright, now Future has added a new artist
to his roster. He has
signed True Life.

updates and his huge announcement. He said,
Today is a new beginning. I'm proud to announce my new deal

All right.
Thank you, Miss Yee.
Charlamagne.
Say the gang.
Don't get out of shape.
Charlamagne.
You are a donkey.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Donkey of the Day does not discriminate.
I might not have the song of the day, but I got the donkey of the day.
So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit it with the heat.
It's a breakfast club, bitch.
Who's donkey of the day today?
Good morning.
Donkey of the Day for Thursday, August 31st, goes to Lieutenant Greg
Abbott of the Cobb County Police Department.
Ladies and gentlemen, there's a war going
on outside. No black man or woman is
safe from, and that war is racism. We need
to all stop playing with each other and acting like
everybody in this country is treated equally, because
we're not. Liberty and justice for all
doesn't apply to the all at all.
And every day on my social media, whether
it's Twitter, Instagram, Facebook,
comments on YouTube, people are like,
Charlemagne, you're always talking about race.
Charlemagne, you call
evil white people crack-ass crackers
and white devils. You racist.
No, I'm not. At all.
I just call an ace an ace, a spade a spade,
and a white devil a crack-ass cracker.
Now, if you're not a white devil,
if you're not a white devil, if you're not a white devil,
if you are indeed a good white person
who doesn't have a prejudice bone in their body,
we need you to use your white privilege
to combat prejudice.
Now, if it wasn't for social media
and all these videos
catching certain racist individuals
with their pants down and hoods off,
then a lot of these privileged white folks
wouldn't even know the prejudices
they should be denouncing.
Well, I got a doozy for you today.
Oh, man, I got something for you today.
Because in July of 2016, Lieutenant Greg Abbott of the Cobb County Police Department
did something that has him under investigation now.
And the reason he's under investigation, because the dash cam footage was obtained by Channel 2 Action News,
which shows Lieutenant Greg Abbott telling a nervous driver
during a DUI stop
that she has nothing to worry about
because police only kill black people.
Oh, you don't believe me?
What?
You don't believe me?
Would you like to hear it?
Yes.
Well, here it goes,
courtesy of Channel 2 Action News.
Use your phone.
It's in your lap right there.
I just don't want to put my hands down.
I'm really sorry.
I'm just... You're just really drunk. No, no, no. I'm just going to wait for you to get here. It's in your lap right there. I just don't want to put my hands down. I'm really sorry.
You're just really drunk.
No, no, no. I've just been waiting for these videos.
But you're not black. Remember, we only kill
black people. Yeah, we only kill black people,
right? All the videos you've seen,
have you seen white people get killed?
You have. Are you trying to be funny, huh?
That's not funny. Lieutenant Greg Abbott of the
Cobb County Police Department. Verbatim,
but you're not black. Remember, we only shoot black people. We only kill black people, right? All the. Verbatim, but you're not black.
Remember, we only shoot black people.
We only kill black people, right?
All the videos you've seen.
Have you seen the black people get killed?
Now, ladies and gentlemen, that is a cracker ass cracker.
A white devil in the flesh.
And if me calling him that makes you more upset at me than you are at what he just told that young woman,
then you are part of the problem, too.
Play it again.
Use your phone.
It's in your lap right there.
I just don't want to put my hands down. I'm really sorry.
You're just really drunk.
No, no, no. I've just been wasting many videos
of problems. But you're not black.
Remember, we only kill black people.
Yeah, we only kill black people, right?
All the videos you've seen, have you seen white people
get killed? You have.
Now this guy
has been placed on administrative duties until the investigation is complete.
What is there to investigate?
What are they hearing that we didn't hear?
Some things don't require an investigation.
There is no context where a police officer, someone who is paid to protect and serve us, can say something like this, and it's okay.
All right?
Lance LaRusso, who is Abbott's attorney, the guy who is getting paid to be a white devil's advocate, says that Lieutenant Greg Abbott is cooperating with the investigation as if he has a choice and that his comments must be observed in their totality to understand their context.
We understand fully the context. OK, that's cracker ass cracker context.
The context is that black bodies are disposable. The context is that unarmed black people being killed at the hands of the police is a joke to a lot of those police officers.
And that's exactly why nothing, and I mean nothing, is ever done about these murders.
This is why there is a Black Lives Matter movement to begin with.
And for all you All Lives Matter folks, shut the F up forever, okay?
If you ever wondered why people have to be specific about Black Lives Mattering, it's because of guys like lieutenant greg abbott you see how specific he was play it again for those in the back still
clueless mad that i'm calling this white devil what he is instead of being mad at what this
white devil said play it again use your phone it's in your lap right there i just don't want
to put my hands down i'm really sorry i'm just really wrong no no i've just been wasting my
videos but you're not black remember we only kill black people, we only kill black people.
Yeah, we only kill black people, right?
All the videos you've seen, have you seen white people get killed?
You have.
Lance LaRusso, Lieutenant Greg Abbott's lawyer, said he was attempting to de-escalate a situation involving an uncooperative passenger.
In context, his comments were clearly aimed at attempting to gain compliance by using the passenger's own statements and reasoning to avoid making arrests.
Yes, put the uncooperative passenger at ease by making jokes about only killing black people.
America, in the words of the late great white ally Heather Hare, if you forgot who she is, she's the young lady who was murdered in Charlottesville by that white devil who drove the car into the crowd.
R.I.P. to her. In her words, if you're not outraged, you're not paying attention.
See, Heather Hare actually cared about people and caring for others is an expression of what it means to be fully human.
Okay.
I actually got to hug and speak to her mother, Susan Bro, this weekend at the VMAs.
And I told her that quote, if you're not paying attention, you're not outraged, is so appropriate.
But I also told her that sadly, some people are paying attention. They are
paying very close attention.
They just don't care. Because to them
black lives don't matter.
Please give Lieutenant Greg Abbott the biggest
hee-haw, please.
I cannot wait
to see the reaction to this one. I can't
wait to see how people justify this
on my timeline. I can't wait. I can't wait to see how people justify this on my timeline.
I can't wait.
All right.
I can't wait.
And once again, if you're more upset at me calling Lieutenant Greg Abbott a white devil and a crack-ass cracker than you are about what he actually said, you're part of the problem.
All right.
Well, thank you for that, Don K.
Today, up next, Ask Yee.

Phone lines are wide open.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Hey, good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
It's time for Ask Yee.
Hello, who's this?
My name's Wellington.
Hey, Wellington. What's your question for you, bro?
I got a situation. I've been married for
four years. My wife
isn't being like, she's not emotionally
attached like that anymore, and I'm trying
to get her back there. Uh-oh.
Yeah, trust me, I know.
I'm trying to, I want to know
what can I do to make her feel
more comfortable to open up and talk to me
and tell me her feelings and everything
like that. Well, Wellington, what
has changed in your marriage over the past
four years? Did anything happen? Did you guys
have kids? Did you cheat?
Yeah, we both
stepped out. I stepped out first and then
because I told her that I felt
lonely. She's pregnant right now.
So she's emotional right now also.
She's two months right now. I's she's emotional right now also she's uh two months right
now i cheated then she cheated and then like it's just been downhill and i'm trying to and i'm i'm
really like i've been in the kitchen more cooking more trying to clean more and everything and it
just seemed like it's not working and i'm trying to trying to get it back i love my wife well
things like this definitely take time it could even take years for things to get back to how
they were have you guys started any type of counseling?
It wasn't like a physical
counseling, like going there and stuff like that. I just
brought that up yesterday
actually to like actually let's go to an actual
counselor and be in like the office
and everything like that. But we went to a counselor
but then our counselor had lost somebody
and everything. So a couple of weeks went by
where we wasn't speaking to the counselor. So we
stopped with that counselor but I'm trying to get back into another one and everything like that. I'm weeks went by where we wasn't speaking to the counselor. So we stopped with that counselor,
but I'm trying to get back into another one
and everything like that.
I'm just trying to do whatever it takes.
And it probably wouldn't be a bad idea
because it sounds like she might be going through a lot
that has to do with you,
but also with herself.
So it wouldn't be a bad idea for her to go to counseling.
I'm sorry, sir.
It wouldn't be a bad idea for her to go to counseling
and then for you guys to go do couples therapy as well.
Because, first of all, you cheated on her, right?
And then she probably cheated on you.
Was it revenge?
She said it wasn't.
She said it wasn't, but she said that she felt as though
our marriage was over and everything like that.
Right, so in her head it was over.
Because sometimes when a man cheats,
we act like it's something wrong with us.
Like, why did he cheat on me? What am I not doing that's fulfilling what it is that he needs?
And so it's really hard for a woman. It's hard on our self-esteem when you guys do that.
We don't look at it as, oh, he cheated, but he loves me. We look at it as he cheated.
Something must have been lacking in our relationship.
OK, go ahead. Oh, no, go ahead.
What made me step out,
I kept telling her for about two or three months,
like literally on a regular basis,
that I felt lonely because she has a child with another guy.
And the father isn't the problem.
It's his father that was the problem.
His father, like, swung at me and everything like that. Like, I didn't do anything.
Like, I didn't hit him or nothing like that. Like, I didn't do anything, like, to, like, I didn't hit him or nothing like that.
Like, he kept disrespecting me.
Like, every time I would, like, let's go out.
I asked him, let's go out so we can, to dinner, I'll pay for it
so that you can get to know me and everything like that.
And he said, no, I don't want to ever get to know you and stuff like that.
And then, like, yeah.
And, like, he never, like, defends me.
Like, I think he flung at me and everything like that in front of the grandchild and Alani was crying, that's the grandbaby's name,
she was crying and everything like that.
Like, I just got back in the car and everything like that.
I didn't do anything.
But it took her two weeks, two weeks to say something to him
about the situation and everything like that.
And I feel as though, like, she doesn't't, like when it comes to the Fords,
that's their last name, like when it comes to them
she doesn't defend me.
She just allows like
things to happen and everything like that.
And I do feel some type
of way about that. And I kept telling her that makes
me feel lonely. That makes me feel like
you care more about them than
you do about me. You're like, we're supposed to be a team.
Right, we're supposed to be a team. Yeah, I always say that to her.
Right.
Okay, it sounds like y'all have a lot going on.
And most importantly is that she's pregnant right now.
And you want to make sure that she is healthy physically and mentally because you guys have a baby on the way.
Yeah, and the other day, like, she was bleeding down there and everything like that.
And we thought she was having a miscarriage.
She was on her period.
She's having a baby.
No, she's pregnant, you idiot.
No.
Tell them I'm stupid.
You can get period when you're pregnant sometimes.
Rare occasion.
Yeah, but it's definitely a red flag.
You want to make sure you go to the doctor and make sure everything's okay.
We did go to the doctor and everything.
It had me nervous and everything like that.
So I'm trying to get her stress level down also
because for the last three years, all I've been asking for is a child.
And then the first time she got pregnant,
she lied to me and told me that she had a miscarriage,
but she got an abortion behind my back.
Oh, my God.
You guys, Wellington, y'all have a lot going on.
Yeah, you got a lot, man.
You guys have a lot going on.
And it's so important for you guys to sort through these problems
because you don't want to bring a baby into this world with you guys.
That's what I said.
Wellington, you got to listen, though, because you cut you off like four times.
You've been trying to help me out.
It's okay.
He has a lot of things that he needs to express.
And that's why I do feel like you guys have got to get this therapy going.
But I do feel like she needs to go.
Y'all need to go separately
and then you guys
need to come together
and go and figure out
more effective ways
to communicate with each other
and also how to move forward.
And can I give you some advice?
Go ahead.
This is going to sound funny.
Listen to the KC Crew podcast, bro.
Get your wife.
Listen to the podcast.
When she sees how much
of a jerk I was
in the beginning
of my relationship,
she'll understand a lot of what's going on in your relationship. Trust me. Okay. Listen to the podcast. When she sees how much of a jerk I was in the beginning of my relationship, she'll understand a lot of what's going on in your relationship.
Trust me.
Okay.
Listen to the podcast.
Y'all both listen to it together.
Yeah, Envy and his wife have been married for 82 years,
and they've been through a lot of ups and downs.
We have.
But I do think you need to get professional help,
so make sure you make that a priority because you have a baby on the way.
Good luck, bro.
I appreciate y'all. All right. That's a mess. Yeah, that's crazy. But you know what? on the way. Good luck, bro. I appreciate that.
All right.
That's a mess.
Yeah, that's crazy.
But you know what?
A lot of our lives are messes.
You're right.
You're absolutely right.
A lot of us.
So we can't judge somebody else's.
But sometimes it's really hard to put the past behind us and move forward.
And in order to do that, you need to address those things and then agree to say, OK, that's
over.
Let's get it going.
Ask E.
800-585-1051.
Call it out.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
We're in the middle of Ask Yee.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is Jay.
Hey, Mama.
What's your question for Yee?
I want to know, should I go back to my husband?
We're still married, and he came home one day and told me he doesn't love me anymore
and he doesn't care where I go as long as I'm not around him.
And I couldn't take being around someone that doesn't love me,
so I packed up everything in my car.
And basically I've been, like, sleeping in my car in a city where I don't know anybody.
He hasn't checked on me and called me. It's
like he just erased me out of his life. Half of everything he has is technically mine,
but I've never been that type of girl to want to like, I had a good life. I would just like
to stay at home, mom. And I didn't have to work. So you're asking me, should you go back
to him? Well, I'm confused because I thought he doesn't want to work. So you're asking me, should you go back to him?
Well, I'm confused because I thought he doesn't want to be around you.
Yeah.
And it's like a lot of people feel like I should start, like, oh, go home and be like, well, you can leave.
This is my house.
I shouldn't be sleeping in my car.
And it's like, for some reason, I don't feel entitled to his stuff because I didn't work for it.
Like, everything that I had when I was with him
was, like, stuff that he worked
for, so. But you, alright,
so, what are you saying? You want to go
back and get him out of the house, or you want
to go back and be with him? I still
love him. I don't get how you
could. But he doesn't love you.
Yeah. How long have they been married?
Um, we've been married for about
five years.
I mean, listen, you can never, ever make somebody love you if they don't love you.
True.
It just doesn't happen like that.
And for you, even though it's painful and it will continue to be painful for I don't know how long until you can somehow manage to move on,
it's important for you to start moving on right this minute.
Yes. And it's even worse when you really want to be with somebody and they don't want to be with you,
for you to continue to hold on to that.
Because it makes them resent you even more and dislike you even more.
And it's just going to drag it out for you. You need to say, okay, this person doesn't want to be with me.
That doesn't necessarily mean I did something wrong.
It could be something wrong with him.
He might be the person that's the problem.
But it's important for you to start
moving forward now. And I promise you that
every day it gets a little
bit easier and there's going to be times that you
backslide and backtrack and you feel
terrible and you're going to be crying and upset.
But you got to do it so you can get over it.
Now you don't think she should go back? Yes.
She don't have a place to go.
She has no place to live.
And he's been working.
She's been a stay-at-home wife.
Right.
Well, I mean, if he doesn't want her there, what is she supposed to do?
That's half her house, though.
Listen, you all are married, right?
So you need to get what's owed to you.
And if that means that he has to financially help you right now because you've been taking care of him for the past
five years.
That's something that you guys need to deal with, but it's not going to be dealt with
with you all trying to beat it with you trying to be with him.
There you go.
Thank you so much.
Okay.
How long have you been living in the car?
Probably for about a month and a half now.
And that's disgusting of him that he's even okay with that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because like, honestly, there was times when I left
when I could have left
and everything would have
worked in my favor, but
I would always, like, take him back and
you know, believe in him.
Listen, look, there's
nothing wrong with you having been
a great, forgiving person, but now you
gotta say, I'm more important
than this relationship. I'm more important than this relationship.
I'm more important than him.
I got to take care of me.
There's no reason I should be sleeping in a car while this man is living in a house
chilling.
Yeah.
And there's no reason he should be okay with that.
We only have one baby in five bedrooms, so.
And you have a baby?
Yeah.
So where's the baby when all this is happening?
He sent me away and then he sent our son to another state to be with his mother.
You don't have any family you could go stay with?
No, I never really had family. So my marriage and my family and my son, that was all I had.
All right, listen, we're going to get your information and check up on you.
Hold on the line, okay?
Okay, thank you.
That is a mess.
That's crazy.
And that guy is definitely a piece of ish.
I wonder if he's still having sex with her while she's living out the car.
He hasn't called in a month and a half.
She's been living in the car for a month and a half.
No shower, I'm sure.
No nothing.
And what about her baby?
He just took the baby and shipped it to his mother.
But, I mean, I would think I would be going right there to get my baby back, first and foremost.
She ain't got no way to put the baby in the car.
If she got to go live with his mom, too, so be it.
That's your baby.
How could somebody love you and then treat you like that?
I don't know.
And have a kid with you.
And have a child with you.
Because they don't love you for $500, Alex.
You a jerk, yo.
That's the truth.
But I'm saying, if you love somebody enough to marry them, it sounds like he hates her if you want to treat
somebody like that. Even if I don't want to be with you
and I'm not in love with you anymore, I would at least
make sure you're good if you're the mother of my child,
right? Yep. Alright, well,
what a crazy ass key this morning.
Yeah. 855-855-1051.
None of these have easy solutions. Not at all.
Well, we got rumors on the way? Yes, we are going to
be talking about Lala, find out what she has
going on. She has a brand new venture that's actually launching next week.
Okay.
We'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
Rumor has it.
On The Breakfast Club.
So listen up.
Yes, Chance the Rapper is doing yet another charitable deed.
Now he is going to be grilling over at the local restaurant Nando's,
and he's doing that for charity.
He's going to donate all proceeds generated from September 5th to the 7th to Social Works.
That's dope.
That is dedicated to raising funds for Chicago's arts program.
He tweeted out, meet me at can't think of any other artist that's doing more for the city of Chicago than Chance right now.
Yes, the Chicago Public School System.
He's doing an amazing job.
All right, so make sure you guys check that out.
Now, Lala has a brand new venture coming.
She is going to be launching her very own fashion line, Lala Anthony, in collaboration with Lord & Taylor.
So that line is actually for women of all shapes from size 0 to size 24.
So anybody could find anything that fits their size.
And that line will officially be launching next week on September 6th.
She will be at the Lord & Taylor in Manhattan on 5th Avenue for a meet and greet with fans during the launch
as well. Alright, for
all of you that are fans of B.A. Mary Jane
on BET, The Breakfast
Club, which is a shock jock show,
was actually referenced
on the show.
Here's what was said.
I want my core audience to know how I get down, so
let's do the interview with The Breakfast Club.
Yeah, yeah, and then let the other media outlets pick it up.
I can do this because I genuinely wish Lee well.
Yeah, honey, you know, I'm sure you feel that way,
but this is shock jock radio,
and they're going to bait you to dish the dirt.
I'm a journalist. I know how to play the game.
All right, I'll set it up,
but we should definitely run through talking points before
you go on. I want to be as clean
as a Sunday school teacher. Got it? Got it.
I'll play Charlemagne and you be you.
Now, I know you can handle the softballs,
so let's get right to the dirt.
Is it true? Are you the girlfriend
in Lee's new sitcom? First, let me point
out that this is loosely based on
our relationship. So you're not mad at being portrayed
like a hoe? That's, what?
That's what you took away from the script?
It's a potential question that could come up.
Shock jocks? How dare they?
Yeah, she definitely isn't ready then.
I always hear, you know, that publicists
do certain things like that. And I've heard that
from politicians, the entertainers,
the athletes, always hear publicists try
to prep them for the breakfast club.
Of course they do. That's their job.
But I don't know who they think we are.
Like, we're not a bunch of gotcha radio personalities.
You call there a hoe.
Who'd I call a hoe?
In the mock interview.
I don't know anymore, man.
I be getting ran upon by so many people.
They'll be like, what?
I said, what?
I don't recall that.
Huh?
I told you what Gayle King ran upon me and said.
Salute to Gayle King.
Drop one of the clues bombs for Gayle King.
Gayle King ran upon me and said, you called me an Oprah old bitches. And then you threw it on me. and said, salute to Gayle King, drop one of the clues bombs for Gayle King. Gayle King ran up on me and said, you called me
an Oprah old bitches.
And then you threw it on me.
He said, nope,
that sounds like it was him.
First of all,
I know I didn't say
nothing like that.
I was like,
Miss King,
I would never say that.
I am a Pinkett Smith
Winfrey Knowles Carter.
And then when she told me
the timeline,
which was 2002,
and then she said
something about Miss Jones,
I said, nope,
that's Envy and Michael Sean.
And I text both of them on the spot. Yes, you did. And they both replied back to me and Michael I said, nope, that's Envy and Michael Sean. And I text both of them on the
spot. Yes, you did. And they both
replied back to me and Michael Sean said, yes,
I think it was me. I apologize. And I
showed Miss Gayle King the text.
Okay? Because I needed to
get that pressure off me in that moment.
Charlamagne was being a scorned bitch. She was like,
who called Oprah and Gayle? Who called Oprah
and Gayle? I was like, King, old
bitches, how dare y'all?
I was like, what are you talking about?
The fight's almost on.
All right, guys.
It wasn't me.
Enough.
Back to the rumor report.

You want to hear something at DJ Envy, 805-851051.
And I'm going to start the mix off today with some new Nori.
This is Nori's
first single
of his new project.
It's called
Uno Mas.
Uno Mas.
It's a tough tune.
It's some nice
grown man hip hop.
Uno Mas means
have a drink, right?
I have no idea.
I thought Uno Mas.
I thought it was Uno
and then, oh, that's Dos.
Oh, Uno is one more?
Yeah.
I told you I'm not Spanish.
I thought it was Uno's Dos.
I thought that was one, two.
Uno mas.
One more.
One more.
All right.
Just because you don't know how to speak Spanish
don't mean you're not Spanish, by the way.
Or Latino.
Or whatever it is.

Shout out to all my Dominicans.

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.

nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
