Good morning, DJ Envy. Good morning, TJ and V. Charlamagne Tha God.

Peace to the planet. It's Monday. Yes, it's Monday. This fake national holiday because it's the day after the Super Bowl. Yes. I loved the Musinex commercial last night where they called it National Call-In Sick Day. Nobody falls for that no more. Not at all.

Just say you didn't feel like coming to work because you won the Super Bowl, but that only works in maybe two places. Well, they were saying that when people go to work on Monday after Super Bowl, work doesn't get done. They said it only halfway gets done, so they're telling all the owners of restaurants and businesses just give your employees an extra

hour for lunch. But it should only be a national holiday in one place. Where's that? Philadelphia. Drop one of Clues bombs for Philadelphia. Okay? Because they have every right to celebrate. Maybe Boston, too, because I'm sure that they were getting drunk while the game was on. That's correct. You know what I mean? But y'all lost, so you got to get your ass to work.

Alright. Well, if you don't know, the Eagles beat the Patriots last night. If you don't know. If you weren't one of the 100 million Americans watching the biggest sporting event of the year. Some people might have fell asleep. As soon as you wake up today, that's all you hear. That's all you hear. Well, I was in New Orleans over the weekend.

It was a great weekend for me. They have this Project Live and Achieve rally for excellence. And that's for the students out there. They're promoting nonviolence in New Orleans. There's been a lot of violent activity happening with the students. So they were trying to do a rally just to help the kids stay in school and be encouraged to do bigger and better things in life. It was great.

It was thousands and thousands of students, and Dr. Bernice A. King actually gave the keynote. That is Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King's youngest daughter, and she runs the King Center. She actually watches us. She just saw us on Revolt that morning when we were out there. It was a great event. Shout out to everybody in New Orleans.

All right. Good morning, New Orleans. Now, was a great event. Shout out to everybody in New Orleans. All right. Good morning, New Orleans. Now back to this game. Word is born. Now, um. Forget the kids. What did y'all think about the commercials during the Super Bowl? Commercials were good.

You know, can we admit that we watched the game? I thought everybody was supposed to be boycotting. I got thrown out the window yesterday, right? Once we saw Diddy and Kev and everybody at the game, we was like, oh, okay. Everybody was at the game. I got thrown out the window yesterday, right? Once we saw Diddy and Kev and everybody at the game, he was like, oh, okay. Everybody was at the game. That got thrown out the window. No standing with Kaepernick for the Super Bowl, huh?

No, no. Oh, okay. Justin Timberlake did take a knee, though, but they cut away from it for some reason. Did they? Yeah, he took a knee on the middle of the field, on the NFL logo. I didn't see that.

Yeah, he took a knee. I definitely didn't see that. He definitely took a knee in the middle of his performance. I thought the halftime performance was okay. It started off slow. Very regular. It started off slow. It started off horrible, actually.

Very regular. It was very regular. It was all right. I loved Justin Timberlake, but it was a regular performance. It was regular. Well, we're going to talk all about the Super Bowl and front page news, and I'm sure throughout the morning. I saw it was Kevin Hart at the end of it trying to get on stage.

That was funny. I don't understand. First of all. That was funny. I don't understand why. Who catches that? Like, who caught that? Who was watching that TV? That was funny. I don't understand. First of all, that was funny. I don't understand why who catches that? Like, who caught that? Like, who was watching that TV and saw that Kevin Hart

was trying to get on the field and they wouldn't let him? Like, who caught that? I'm not gonna lie. I was laughing. Why is that hilarious? Because they kicked me out of his concert, so the fact that he couldn't get on stage, I was like, good for you! I think it's the fact that Kev is such a big superstar. That's right. That just when you see a superstar like that humbled, like security don't give a damn who

you are. He didn't care. It makes you feel better about doing whatever it is you was doing last night. He definitely did. Yeah, they said he tried to get up there. He was drunk, I guess, because he was celebrating the whole time. He was twisted. He also cursed on camera, too.

We've seen that, too. Listen, man, we can't trust anybody. I can understand security. Are you mad at security for doing their job? Come on now, Kevin. What do you mean? Let the eagles have their moment. Security, look, I know you, Kevin Hart, but sorry.

Now, if Bradley Cooper would have tried to walk up there and they let him in, then we can scream racism, okay? My goodness. All right. Well, don't forget, Faison Love will be joining us this morning. Of course, comedian and actor, so we'll kick it with Faison. What was that accent? Actor.

And we got front page news. What are we talking about? We are going to talk about the Super Bowl. All right. When we come back it with Faison. What was that accent? Actor. And we got front page news. What are we talking about? We are going to talk about the Super Bowl. All right. When we come back, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. J.N.V., Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front page news. Now, of course, the Super Bowl recap. Eagles beat the Patriots 41-33. A great game. Amazing game. I really enjoyed the game. Watching it. Great game.

Dropping the clues for the Philadelphia Eagles. They absolutely deserved that. NFC East, man. Tom Brady just can't beat the NFC East in the Super Bowl. That's what it. It was a great game. Drop on the clues, Bonds, for the Philadelphia Eagles. They absolutely deserved that. NFC East, man. Tom Brady just can't beat the NFC East in the Super Bowl. That's what it looks like, huh? Yeah. Hopefully one day the Cowboys will get the chance to play the Patriots in the Super Bowl, but that'll never happen.

Not no time soon, anyway. Tom Brady won't be around by the time that happens. All right. Well, let's talk about what else the Super Bowl people were talking about yesterday. Well, of course, as we all know, for the Eagles, it was their first time ever winning a Super Bowl. That was the first time in the franchise's history. Now, several players have already said they are not going to participate

in that traditional White House visit, so they plan on boycotting that visit because, of course, they're not fans of Donald Trump. In addition, I'm sure you guys all saw a video and pictures of what it was looking like in Philly after their win as they were celebrating. There were fans basically going crazy. There were flames everywhere.

One guy was on top of the Ritz-Carlton awning. That awning then fell into the crowd. He jumped, too. He thought he would be caught. Just all kinds of mayhem, of course, as anticipated because, you know, that's what happens when somebody wins Super Bowl. Not necessarily. Philly's a different animal.

Philly's a different type of town. Are they really rioting like that, though? I went to sleep. I haven't seen it. They were rioting. They burnt up a gas station. They jumped on a Ritz awning and flipped a couple of cars. I'm assuming these are white people doing these things because I would think that the

SWAT team would be there by now. The Ritz was white people. I definitely know the Ritz was white people. I don't know anybody else, though. What's the point of tearing up the town because y'all won? I don't know. I don't know anybody else, though. What's the point of tearing up the town because y'all won? I don't know. I don't know. Now, there was one ad

in particular that had some backlash, and that was the Ram Truck ad that actually used a speech by Martin Luther King Jr. Here is that ad. Everybody can be great. You don't have to know

about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don't have to know the theory of relativity to serve. You don't have to know the theory of relativity to serve. You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace.

Soul generated by love. And at the end it said built to serve. Now the King Center, which I told you I met Dr. Bern at the end it said, built to serve. Now, the King Center, which I told you I met Dr. Bernice A. King over the weekend, tweeted out, neither the King Center nor Bernice King is the entity that approves

the use of MLK's words or imagery for use in merchandise, entertainment, or advertisement, including tonight's Dodd Super Bowl commercial. So who owns the rights to it?

That's crazy. That doesn't make no sense. Who owns the rights to it? Because this morning I heard on 1010 Winds on a news station, they said Martin Luther King Jr. State approved that rant. Yeah, there's no way. That ad.

The state would have to approve it. They said he approved his ad. Well, I think what it is is Bernice King runs the King Center, so she's in charge of that, and she's saying she didn't approve it and neither did the King Center, but he has other kids, so I don't know how that's all. Yeah, somebody approved that ad. Who in the hell approved the rights to Martin Luther King Jr.'s bars?

Like, everybody going to act clueless. Somebody got to check for that. Stop it. Who wasn't? Now, they explained it. They said that it shows positivity and working hard, and it was approved by the state. I don't know what member of the state approved it, but somebody approved it. I mean, it wasn't a—I didn't think it was a bad match.

Like, everybody made it seem like, oh, they're using his voice to sell cars. But I just took it as a Martin Luther King speech he was playing during the Super Bowl, and I mean, I actually enjoyed hearing his words. Like, I thought it was a very uplifting commercial, actually. Well, you know, when you talk about how everybody don't have to be successful, especially in that climate of the Super Bowl, you see all of these celebrities

and everything. Everybody don't have to be a celebrity in order to serve. It costs nothing to serve. I thought that was a dope message for the Super Bowl. Alright, so they said the King estate is not to be confused with the King Center, which is a nonprofit established by Martin Luther King Jr.'s wife, Coretta Scott King.

So the King Center didn't approve it, but the King Estate, I guess, didn't approve it. So who owns King's Estate? Who's over King's Estate? That's what I would like to know. I don't know, but somebody approved it somehow,

some way, some way down the line. I guess when you die, you have to put all that... Some guy named Eric D. Tidwell is the managing director for the licensor of the estate. You got to put stuff in your will, like, I guess to protect you from stuff like that. You know, we need to be complaining about these Tupac sex dolls. Now, that's just ridiculous.

A Tupac sex doll? Yes, you've seen the Tupac sex doll? Like, I don't want my likeness as a sex doll when I'm dead. No, what we need to be complaining about is that Giants commercial where Eli Manning is catching Odell. I thought that was an amazing commercial. I bet you did. By the way, I'm ready to dance right now. Which one of y'all Negroes

want to dance with me this morning? I'll pass. That was a great advertisement for sodomy. Get it off your chest. Drop one of those bombs for that Giants commercial, okay? 800-585-1051. Shoot the OBJ at Eli.

Stop it. If you're upset, you need to hit us up right now. I saw the twinkle in your eyes. Both of y'all yesterday. Or if you want to spread some positivity, phone lines are open. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest.

And the commercial ended saying, to the balls that are yet to be caught. No, it didn't. Yes, it did. It's the touchdowns that are yet to be caught. I saw balls. See, I bet you didn't see balls. You know what? Get it off your chest.

Hit us up right now. If you need to vent or if you want to spread some positivity. The number again is 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy.

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Queen, God, DJ Envy, this Fred from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, calling, checking in with you this morning. Good morning. What's up, my brother? What's going on? Get it off your chest, bro.

Yes, sir, just a couple things this morning. I just want to say, tell him easy to drop one of Clues' bombs for me this morning, God damn it. I called him from work drunk from yesterday. Okay, at least you made it. You're not a Philly or New England fan either. Neither am I. Packer fan all the way. Yes, sir. But still drunk from yesterday.

And my next thing, sir, I wanted to say is y'all just keep playing for the young man. I'm trying to get my feet wet back out here after 14 years been in a relationship and these young ladies ain't going like I thought they would go, Uncle Sean. I need to get myself together, sir. Well, luckily they got sex robots coming, sir.

You get your little robot, you be good to go. Yes, sir. So y'all just keep playing for me. It's hard out here for you. I'll buy you a sex robot one day, man. Give me a year or two and I can afford it. Hello, who's this? Yo, what's up? It's Rick from Brooklyn. Good morning, Evie. Good morning, Angela. Good morning, Charlamagne. What's up, Rick? Good morning, man. Yo, Charlamagne,

last week you couldn't wait to give Troy I have a dog here today, huh? What do you mean? Your man is the reason why this whole thing got to where it's at, because your man's a hater. Troy Yab been sending CDs out of his trunk forever, and your man came out of nowhere hating, and it escalated to where it's at.

People are all pointing the finger at Troy Yab, but if your man didn't hate in the first place, he wouldn't have gotten to this point. Hate is what got them to where they're at right now, because he was minding his business, and you are co-signing a hater. Well, all I want Troy to have to do is just write a statement. Like, why not? Like, why be an indirect informant?

Hello, who's this? It's Todd. Hey, get off your chest. Hey, shout out to the Eagles, man. We got one finally. Turn up, y'all. Turn up. I'm feeling it.

I'm excited. My brother's team loves me, a Patriots fan. We out here. Have you slept, I'm feeling it. I'm excited. My brother's team lost. He's a Patriots fan. We out here. Have you slept yet? How you become an Eagles fan in Alabama? Man, 2004, man. McDonald's, 16, Super Bowl.

Even though we lost, man, I'm just excited. You know what I'm saying? We got one, 2018. Bull. Bull. Yeah. Can't become no Eagles fan at 0-4. Bull.

Man. How old are you? You hate me, Charlamagne. How old are you? I'm 28, bro. I'm 28. Bull. No way. 0-4. Boo! How old are you? Hey, me, Charlamagne. How old are you? I'm 28, bro. I'm 28. Boo! No way. That was 0-4.

No. Alabama won the state championship, too, so I'm still happy about that, too. What's up? Have a blessed day. It's okay, man. Y'all have a good one. All right, man.

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Let's go. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. Say it with your chest. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. So if you got something on your mind, let it out. Hello, who's this? Yo, what's up, everybody? This is Mike.

What's going on, y'all? Mike. Good morning, Angela. Good morning, Charlamagne. Good morning. What's up, Mike? Get it off your chest. Well, really, I don't have anything to get off my chest, but I live here in Atlanta, in the Atlanta area, and as I was driving into my job early this morning,

I was still local station until you guys come on at 6 a.m. down here in the Atlanta area, and they were saying this morning that that commercial was approved by Dexter King, and I guess because Dexter and Bernice and Martin III, they all are so separated, which is unfortunate. And I know this man's rolling in his grave by his kids. But they said Dexter approved that commercial. So that's where it came from.

Yeah, they said Dexter and MLK III run the King estate. That's what I was told just now. Well, see, I think Dexter and MLK III, I'm not sure about this. I think those two gentlemen are on different sides, too. And unfortunately, one of the young ladies that Martin had, she passed away, as we all know, I believe last year. She and the sister were on

different sides. I mean, it's just, you know, it's like you need a scorecard to keep up with your kids and who's on which side. But it's really sad that the greatest black legacy that we ever had, his kids, are looking like they grabbed him for scraps. But I just wanted to say that, and I wish everyone a good

morning, and God bless. Thank you, bro. Hello, who's this? Oh, it's Smash Mavs, Michigan. You already know. What up, though? What's up? Get it off your chest, bro. Alright, for sure. So, I was listening to the Ram Mad, and it really made me uncomfortable because I think to myself, what's the price of the ticket? So we can have our leaders, their words, their likeness.

We use the sale things. Well, what's next? Are we having Malcolm X sale Chick-fil-A? You know what I mean? Like talking about chickens coming to roost? Like what's the deal? So at some point in time, we have to be careful on how we let these words be used. Well, the family approved it, so it's out of our hands.

Yeah, I'm going to be honest. And then it's Black History Month, so it's out of our hands. Yeah, I'm going to be honest. And then it's Black History Month, so it didn't raise my antennas the way a lot of other people were upset. It is dope that it's Black History Month, and I feel like the speech could be used, but it just made me personally uncomfortable. Somebody who finds Dr. Kim...

And his youngest daughter also said she did not approve of it. Yeah, but Weber runs out of speech. And you know he gave that speech on February 4th, 1968. Like, they showed that part before the commercial came on. Like, he gave the speech on the exact date. Maybe that's why I didn't raise my antennas like you did everybody else.

Like, it seemed very well thought out, actually. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up at any time. Now, we got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes, we'll tell you who just recently announced the birth of their baby girl. So, it's been a secret, been under wraps all this time

and she explains why she didn't feel the need to let everyone know and we'll talk about Raven, Simone and why T.I. and Trey Songs had some things to say to her. Alright, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Raven-Symoné. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up.

Now on Instagram, Raven-Symoné reposted this. It was a picture featuring people like Swiss Beats, T.I., Jay-Z, Diddy, Yo Gotti, Big Sean, Khaled, and she said a group of so- well, the original post said, a group of so-called successful black men minus Khaled racially who became rich and famous from perpetuating the worst black stereotypes to the ears and eyes of the whole planet, like drug dealing, pimping, murdering other black men, and disrespecting black women.

I know, making observations as being a hater. Cheers. Now, Raven-Symoné reposted this. A lot of people had things to say. She reposted it from speech from Arrested Development. That was very interesting to me, that speech posted that. Right. From Arrested Development.

Now, she deleted that post. She said, deleted my post because the comments were not something I want my underage followers looking at. I'm not deleting because I don't believe in what I said. Why she just ain't disabled her comments? She don't know about that feature? She probably don't know that feature. Now, T.I. responded also. He said,

Your sins ain't no greater than ours, ma'am. The air must be thin as hell up there on that high horse you sitting on. Somebody please let me know. WTF up with Shoutie. Well, like I always say, this generation would have never let Malcolm Little become Malcolm X. Nobody believes in the concept of growth and evolution anymore. People should remember 1 Corinthians 13, 11.

When I was a child, I talked like a child. I thought like a child. I reasoned like a child. But when I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. A lot of guys in that picture, I put the ways of childhood behind them. Right, again, stories of actual redemption, people being successful, black men. Yeah. And, yeah, so I don't understand why she felt like that was something appropriate to repost, but she does believe it. And I don't understand why Speech from Arrested Development thought that was something to say,

because it seemed like it originated from him. Like, I feel like he should know better. Maybe he wanted to be in the picture. I don't know. All right, Kylie Jenner has announced that she had her baby girl. Her and Travis Scott are now parents. She made the announcement on Sunday. And that's the same hospital she was at where both Kim and Kourtney

delivered their kids as well. And so was Rob Kardashian's daughter. Dream was also born there. Well, congratulations to them. And drop on the clues, moms, for Travis Scott for being way smarter than Tiger ever could. She said, I'm sorry for keeping you in the dark through all the assumptions.

I understand you're used to me bringing you along in all my journeys. My pregnancy was one I chose not to do in front of the world. I knew for myself I needed to prepare for this role of a lifetime in the most positive, stress-free, and healthy way I knew how.

You think Tiger's somewhere, like, shadowboxing to himself right now? Like just swinging at the air, mad at the world? I don't know. Fist balled up like Arthur. I'm sure he's a little upset. Maybe he didn't really want to be with her anymore either. Uh-huh.

Drop on the clues box with Travis Scott again. Now, in addition, Steph Curry and Aisha Curry are having another baby. Aisha announced that she's pregnant again, and she broke the news on Instagram saying, Hey, how did this happen? Curry party of five, feeling very blessed and very sick. Yippee, Curry for three. Hey. Congrats to them.

Drop on a clues bomb for Steph Curry. Shoot is shoot, bro. He can shoot. Okay? He shot the club up. He trying to get a little boy. I know this game. All right?

I'm trying to do the same thing right now. You got two girls. You want to keep shooting until you get you a little man. I understand, Steph. And the Migos will be performing on Saturday Night Live on March 3rd, while Charles Barkley is going to be the guest host. All right, this is going to be their first time

actually being the headlining musical guest. They were on before with Katy Perry to do their single that they had together. They also have the number one album on the Billboard 200 charts. Culture 2 is number one. They got about 199,000 album units sold. That's including streaming and actual physical sales as well. So they are number one. They got about 199,000 album units sold. That's including streaming

and actual physical sales as well. So they are number one again. Culture was number one also when that came out. That would be very dope if Nicki and Cardi came out to do motorsport on SNL. I don't think that's going to happen. Well, Cardi will be there. Drop one of the Clues bombs for the Migos.

Now the Migos is just the fifth rap group with more than one number one album as far as rap groups. Really? Yes. Wow. just the fifth rap group with more than one number one album as far as rap groups. Really? Yes. Wow. Only the fifth in history? The fifth in history as far as rap groups.

Beastie Boys had four number ones. Nope. Wu-Tang never had a number one? They didn't have more than one number one album. Oh. Okay. Tribe Called Quest had two number one albums. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony had two.

And D12 had two. Oh, okay. I see what you said. Yeah. Multiple number ones. Yeah, more than one. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report.

All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, comedian at tour, Faison Love will be joining us. Big worm. Big worm. Big worm. So we'll kick it with him 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 a special guest in the building, comedian Faison Love. That's sweet, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angelou. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Comedian Faison Love. That's true, man. I love it.

Faison, you're one of the last few comedians that still don't give a f*** about biting their tongue. Yeah, man. I mean, why even do this? You know what I'm saying? Why even all that politically correct bulls***? What the fuck? I mean, it's art.

That's like telling Picasso, hey, don't use no green paint. Only use the ones we want you. It's basically socialism. Yeah. If you think about it, don't talk about this, don't talk about that, and you're good. Fuck you. Does that get you banned from any place where people say, well, we're not going to? people say well i'm probably banned who gives a i don't want to be in them plays anyway are you going only going to play certain music no i'll play whatever i want that's what i'm saying

they let me be free he don't know until he play it, though. And they be like, oh, why you playing that? They do ask me sometimes. Do they ask you like, listen to it again. They do sometimes. But you know, their ears, I'm out every night. So their ears are not like my ears. But they never tell me what to play when I play. Because you are their ears.

Correct. They don't know. They don't fucking know until we tell them. You know what I'm saying? Like, all these people pulling their brands and shit. Like, we made the fucking brand. We made Adidas hot. Adidas wasn't shit until Run MC made it hot.

Facts. You see what I'm saying? So I'm like, why the fuck are y'all... We make these fucking brands. I remember a talk show was considered only Oprah or Arsenio. This is the number one talk show. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

This is what we've got to come to say to you. Right. So it's not, it's not, it's not, and this is a revolt. Puffy's running this, right? That's a fact. We are on revolt. Yeah, yeah. Okay.

But y'all running it. Yeah, absolutely. I get it. I get it. But it's, you see what I'm saying? You know, it's like everybody's crying about, I don't give a fuck about the president. I'm tired of people complaining about him. Because he's racist.

They're all racist. It's the White House. They haven't built it. They haven't, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. We built it. Yeah. Yeah.

You know what I'm saying? That's what I'm saying. They don't. Yeah. What do you mean he's racist? They're all racist. Like, oh, no. They are like Lincoln. Like.

Huh? No. Slaves built the White House for the white man. Yeah. Period. So what are you talking about? If anything goes on there, it's racist. So those statues and stuff that they have, you might as well take it out of the White House, too.

I mean, what do you mean? It's all the same thing. I don't care. I feel you about Trump, though. I treat Trump like a prison sentence. It's like we got to fall to eight. Stop saying eight, man. Fall.

We don't know. We got to fall to eight. Do your push-ups, read your books, and try not to get raped in the process. Listen, man. Listen, man. Goodness gracious. It ain't even Trump. They get y'all ready for a black woman president.

I can't wait. That's what's going to happen. Yeah, but see, that's what George Bush did. George Bush set up Barack because everybody thought George Bush was so bad. They're like, man, we get a black man. So now Trump's so bad, we're going to get a woman of color. It's a game, though. It don't even matter.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're going to still be successful and smart. Y'all still going to raise your kids and have a great life. Yeah. And they don't, they're not coming to pick you up and go to work. Absolutely. That's what I'm saying. You know, so I'm like, what?

Who gives a fuck? And I saw you on Sway Show. You said Dave Chappelle is the wackest comedian out there. Why do you feel that way? Well, first of all, we were talking about the Monique situation. And she feels like she should get the same as him or whoever, whatever. Close to, she said. Yeah, and it's like, it's not really about

that. Netflix is just f***ing with him. They've always f***ed with Dave. They don't really f*** with us. White people built Dave. He's never, for a fact, he's never made n****s laugh. Way funny now. he's never for a fact he's never made his life

until come on Chappelle's show classic no no no Charlie Murphy's writing rest in peace was classic they show there was a season before that was whack which one the first one no man yes

Chappelle's first two seasons was great no no the first season was whack. The second season is when Charlie started writing, and that's when you saw the Rick James and all the other fly stuff. But other than that, he wasn't fly. He wasn't funny. First season was funny, Faison. Think about it.

What was the first season? Exactly. They all blend together. No, no. Exactly. Go ahead. Name some funny stuff for the first Exactly. They all blend together. No, no, exactly. Go ahead. Name some funny s*** for the first season. They all blend together, but he was funny, man. Listen, before that, when he was funny.

I wasn't on, Dave, before that. That's what I'm saying. So where is this king of the comedies? His new stand-up is really good. The last one was funny. Yeah, and I went to go see him at Radio City. That s*** was funny. The s*** I saw was on New Year's Eve or whatever.

The little spot where you see him. Well, that was part of it. That's what I thought was dope. Both of those were funny. It was funny. I thought it was dope. But the first part was when he was talking about he didn't want to get Kevin Harted and all that. Yeah, yeah.

I thought it was dope. But the rest of that bullshit, like, is that what y'all giving money for? This bullshit? But he's a draw, though. He's not a draw. If I got 19 times on a special, I'm going to be a draw, too. He's done specials for years. But they've been whack.

He was here. Yeah, I won in D.C. That was good before. It was one live from D.C. When? I don't remember. Killing Me Softly. Killing Me Softly. That was good before. It was one live from D.C. When? I don't remember. Killing Me Softly? Killing Me Softly.

That's the one. Whack. Name one joke from it. Come on, man. Why you doing it? My memory bad, man. Now, no. Now, watch this.

Name something from Eddie Murphy Delirious. Oh, man. Yeah, thank you. The Bear Rabbit. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. That's a classic. Chris Rock versus black people. And that those that it is. It don't stop. But this is just some made up. They gave him like, oh, like how you disappear.

Look, the Wayans are beasts. They funny, too. No, no. They beasts. That whole family. Legends. But you don't hear them talking about them. As far as what?

Anything. Because there's so many of them. They're a collective. Keenan Wayne has probably made more stars than anybody. Without question. I look at Keenan the way I look at moguls like Diddy and Jay-Z. But they're not talking about that. They're talking about this.

What do you think if Keenan was out now, like how Dave is? People would give it up for him. He's still out! He went nowhere! People only see what they see in the moment. I hear what you're saying. And I like Dave as a person. Look, he was around when we did Friday.

Why wasn't he in that? Dave was around then? What? Yes! They used to give him a TV show pilot every year. That's why his name was coming. He's called Pilot Boy. And it would fail. So you don't think Chappelle got some classic moments with the Chappelle show?

No, no. Yes. Yes. Written by Charlie Murphy. Charlie wrote everything. Dave. Those are real Charlie Murphy stories. Those are stories that Charlie's been telling us for years.

For years. What about all the other sketches? You don't remember them? They're making the band sketch, the R. Kelly sketch, the race draft. Then he leaves. He's scared. Who the fuck are you scared of? The white man. Come on. The white man been here. He's scared. Who are you scared of? The white man.

Come on. The white man been here. He ain't going nowhere. Do you know what Flip Wilson had to do? No. Oh, my God. Flip Wilson owned his show. Got you.

You see what I'm saying? He had to go through that same thing. There's no reason to run. He said they were portraying the show wrong. You're the producer. He just kept messing with me. And I'm like, okay. But Monique was like saying, I'm trying to tell Monique, you can't compete with that.

You have to do a Louis C.K. I have to do it. Because, you know, they fooled me in some movies. But then they're like, do we really? He doesn't. I'm not really the movie type anymore. Everybody's a model. You got to have abs.

You got to show your chest. I was watching Star Wars like, why is this s*** taking his shirt off? Have you ever seen anybody in space with their shirt off? Nah. Alright, we got more with Faison Love. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ

Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got special guests in the building. Faison Love. So what do you think Monique should do? Do you think Monique is, because we were talking, we don't know if Monique's draw is as big as some of the names she named. No. Of course it's not.

Well, this is the thing. She should put her money where her mouth is and do it independent. She doesn't need Netflix. It's a nice check. Everybody love a check for $30 million to do some bulls**t comedy. To talk for an hour. You know how much it costs to do a stand-up comic special? The most, $200,000.

Damn. The most. It's all money. So even if you spent $500,000 on it, she should do it independent. I'm doing mine independent because then you're going to know whether people really f**k with you or not. And that's what Louis C.K. did. When you said do it Louis C.K., you wasn't talking about masturbating on people.

You were talking about actually doing your own s***. Come here! Yeah. I was not talking about that. That's what I said. Yo, Monique, you should go do a 10-city theater tour. Realistically, you can't be lazy. Especially now.

Even with the Twitter and all that stuff, you can't be lazy. You have to go out there. Like, I gave out my number the other day, and I've been talking to people on the phone at 4 in the morning. Yo, this is really you? Yeah. What do you want?

I gave it out for women who are in trouble. Because I'm tired. I said we should create something called Us Too, where if a woman says she's afraid to tell that somebody raped her, call me and I'll team up and we're going to slap them up. We're going to beat the shit out of them for real. And I gave her my number on Sway and people have been calling, so I'm up talking to them. They love that.

Right, right. So it's a connection with the people. Yeah. So you can't be lazy and you can't. There's no such thing as a star. I think she's living in a star world. Like, listen, I have an Oscar. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's part of it.

But nobody gives a fuck about that Oscar. Get your bag and keep it moving. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. How'd you feel when she said she's the most decorated comedian of all time? I think she was saying, I have an Oscar. That's what I think she was saying. But Jamie got an Oscar.

Whoopi got an Oscar. Right. But it's only three. Eddie Murphy ain't going to have one. No, he don't. And he's still a beast. You spoke about Friday. Would you bring the Big Worm character back for the last season?

I'm all for it, man. Come on, man. All of them are going to be growing in the next... Listen, if we did a new Friday, Chris would have to be Big Worm. He's big as a mother... He's my size. I would have to be... I told Cube

he should actually make it a Netflix television show and introduce new people to it. And I think he a killer like that. Just have him and Nia get married and move around the corner. And then introduce where you can introduce. Because, you know, each hood, each street in L.A. is a different hood. So you can literally have a different neighborhood by going around the corner.

It's like, you know. So, yeah, but I don't, I said leave it. I've never done any sequel. You know. People are asking for that one. But it's going to be whack. If it's going to be whack, what is it going to be? You still ain't got my money?

Yeah, the bar is too high, man. They talk about bringing back Martin, coming to America. The bar is high for the movies. What it is is they're not creating new... There's so many new ideas out there. Like, they're making this black comic, this Marvel, like it's...

Black Panther. Yeah, that's dope. There's a lot of shit out there like that. Did you see Kevin Hart on The Breakfast Club? You were talking about Michael Blackson. Yeah. What did you think about that? Is anything off limits?

I think he shouldn't... You know, Kevin's like my little... That's my baby, man. That's my... You know, they don't mess with my boy. Michael Blackson, that's... That's like him talking about you. Oh, I do it all the time. But not on some real person.

No, no, no. Not on a serious person. I come to cheating on my family. Yeah, no. That's something that he really got to deal with. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kevin was right. He was doing some old like, you want that much attention? I can give you attention. I like Michael, but come on, man.

It's rules. The comics are a different breed. It's like we bury our own. You know what I'm saying? 30,000 people in two comics are going to sit back and get together in the back.

It's a different breed, especially if you came up with somebody. They're both from Philly. Kevin got hitters in the street for real. I don't know. You know, Michael's got that, you know, thing, the African thing. So, but I was like, come on, man. Don't do that.

I don't think Kevin got hitters in the street for real. Oh, no. Don't get it twisted. Don't get it twisted. Don't get it twisted. It's like when people get it, they get it misconstrued. We love doing comedy. I love playing a square. I was a square up until people were like, oh, he's not that good.

I loved being a square. And then when they get to know you, this social media gets people to really know, oh, oh, oh, he's that guy. And then it kind of opens the curtain. And now everywhere you go, it's like, oh, here he comes. Like, we stay here because of trouble. Ain't no trouble. Let's have fun.

But, you know, sometimes people got to get, you know. I feel you. Like how you did in the airport in Columbus. Yeah, we seen you put the hands on some people last year. Well, you know. They thought you were slow. They thought you were slow with it with Faze on. Yeah, they found out that day.

Is that situation cool that went away? I'm on probation with it and just learning how to deal with stuff like that, man. What did he say that got you pissed off? It was just talking ass. People don't say what he say. I said he said too much. You know what? I call it my Rosa Parks moment.

Like, really? You know when somebody's baiting you? Yeah. And he's like, he doesn't understand. I'm just a human. I'm just a human first. Not a star. I'm not Big Worm. I'm about to slap you. That's who I am.

You know what I'm saying? People play, like, I don't have security. This is a comedian. I've traveled the streets by myself. I don't have no security. Did he sue you? Did he try to get some money? He couldn't because he was wrong, but I was wrong for hitting him. But he was at work, and he was, you know, so I could have sued them, but I got time for work.

I figured it was a lesson just in life. What did you learn from it? To make sure nobody, no cameras is watching. Because I was like, I was hiding that Judd epitaph. Like, I want to, oh, man. Oh, yeah, you called him a hypocrite on Sway Show. I felt you on that when you explained it. I understood what you were saying.

You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, you said that he called out Bill Cosby and went to Bill Cosby's show holding up signs saying he was a rapist. But when his friends in Hollywood started getting those sexual assault charges, he was quiet. He was quiet. Disappeared. You know what I'm saying?

I appreciate y'all bringing, you know, when I made that call, you know. Yeah, that was interesting. Bill Cosby and you were cool. I never met the man. Okay. Really? Never met the man.

But he heard I was, when it first came out, I was going hard. Because of the due process. People just was like, oh, he's guilty. Just like with Russell Simmons. He's guilty. He's guilty. I'm like,

y'all ain't ask no questions. Y'all ain't talk to nobody, mama or nothing. He's guilty. Out of all these years, he's guilty. No due process in the court of public opinion. No due process. Yeah. Oh, no.

On Twitter, he's guilty. We're marching. Bitch, fuck you. So that was my whole problem. And then he heard about it. And then, you know, people try to say stuff in Hollywood, but I ain't, you know, I'm like, come on, man, what you gonna do? It's like, we got to stand up for something or we're just going ain't, you know, I'm like, come on, man, what you gonna do? It's like, we gotta stand up for something

or we're just gonna be, you know, I hate scary n****s, man. It's a lot of scary n****s in Hollywood. More with Faison Love when we come back. Don't move. 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 have Faison Love,

comedian in the building. Charlamagne? So who are the scary n****s in Hollywood? Robert Townsend is the scariest n****s I know. Damn, I ain't heard that name in forever. Yeah, because he's scary. Why Robert Townsend's scary? Listen, man. If you don't know who Robert Townsend is, blank man.

Blank man, right. No, no, no. Medium man. Look, see, Robert, they don't even know you, n****s. Bitch. Scary mother****s. He's all crazy, dude. Why is he scary?

Because I said, yo, man, what are you going to do to, you know, help Mr. Cosby? He said, man, I got to stay away from that because I was there when it happened. I said, what do you mean he was there? Well, I was there when he got the phone call. Bill Cosby had hired him to do his special and Bill Cosby's about to do another television show on Netflix. he hired Robert to direct him.

Now, nobody's f***ing with Robert. He's not going to shoot no Marvel movie, no nothing. So this is the only n***a f***ing with you and you're backing away? He's giving you money, but you're backing away? That's like, if he's the only one going to f only with you and you're backing away? He's giving you money. But you're backing away? That's like, if he's the only one going to with you

and give you a job, because he's like, man, we're scared of Charlamagne. He'll tell the truth. When he needs you, you're like, hey, I can't do it, man. The media. What's wrong with you? Scary ass. But you agree with the Me Too movement, though.

I don't know. Because, like, I don't know. Like, they were talking about that same pay bullshit. Like, get the fuck out of here. Same pay? What you mean? As far as sexual assault and stuff like that. Well, that's what, listen, listen.

If a woman is being assaulted, I will go to the guy's house and break my probation and whoop his ass. Okay? But it's the other shit. It's like, hey, I didn't like the way he, when we were dating, he just stopped dating me and now I'm mad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So now it's right.

It's like Aziz. Yeah. It's like, that's givingiz. That's giving that. It's giving that. Whoa, whoa, whoa. And there's no due process. Russell is losing all this kind of stuff. It sounded like some freaky shit, but it ain't sounding like rape.

You see what I'm saying? Right now it's like a real messy closet. And somebody got to go in there and organize it. Put the pants with the pants, the hoodies with the hoodies. Rape is rape. Yeah, absolutely. Not, hey, how you doing, sweetheart? I'm calling the police. Yeah.

Your father hollered at your mother. Some kind of way. Yeah. There's a story. Slave taking the flowers up. I was going up there to meet Ellie. I was going up the hill with Ellie. I was going up the hill. Ellie said, I can't come up the hill because of me too.

Like, what the f***? You know what I'm saying? I feel you. We're taking out the love story. Rape is rape. Right. Yeah. It ain't no gray area.

It's like, yo. It is some gray area. But it's some things that... No, not with rape. It ain't no gray area. It's like, yo. It is some gray area. Not with rape. But with sexual assault and sexual harassment. It is gray area. Okay, look. This whole time they're going out to Bill Cosby. This is raping kids. The gym.

Nassar. The whole time. And everybody knows about it. Now, those kids, I feel sorry for those kids because they got to grow up like that. And a lot of those girls thinking they was wrong. That dude needs to be f***ing ass from now until 10 years. Oh, he's going to kill himself. He got 175 years.

He know he's going to kill himself. No, he ain't. Cool. He should kill himself. Why do you think no black women have been offered the kind of money that Amy Schumer got for Netflix? Black female comedians, rather. First of all, there's not many of them.

I mean, Wanda, there's Wanda. I think Tiffany would probably be the first. Tiffany's going to get that money. Tiffany's going to get that money. Tiffany's going to get it. Tiffany might have already got it. She might be on the low end. She's doing a commercial right now, yeah.

She's got the Groupon commercial for the Super Bowl. But I'm saying Tiff might have already got a Netflix deal on the low end. We don't even know it. Yeah. Tiff, trust me, she's going to. Yeah. But they only f*** with certain people, though. Don't get it twisted.

See, the thing is, those stand-up specials used to be, you only used to get $30,000 for them. So Netflix kind of blew it out the water with the $40 million here. And it's like, what are you, okay. I guess it ain't for everybody. That equal pay is a lie. So everybody only used to get $30,000, even the Chris Rocks and all of them, when they were doing HBO and all that stuff like that?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Damn. How does Netflix make their money back on $30 million? There you go. I couldn't figure it out. There's subscriptions. No. That much?

No. They're hoping that people subscribe. Ain't that many more people that's going to subscribe. And they can't sell it anywhere. If HBO does something, they can sell it somewhere else. If you like, if HBO does something, they can sell it somewhere else. They go to Hulu and go somewhere else. But Netflix is kind of stuck

with all this. Like, you know, where are you going to go? They can't go to Hulu. Why is everybody running to Netflix? They give you $30 million checks. Not everybody.

Right. They're just slaves. I'm not going in. I'm doing my own. I hope I can come on here and promote it. Like, come go see my shit. You putting it online? Yeah.

Yeah. I'm going to sell, you know, just. I might even do, give one away for free. Because a lot of people haven't seen me do stand-up. And that's where I started. All right, now that was FaZe Unloved. Now don't move. We got rumors on the way.

Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. All right, morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Kevin Hart.

It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to him. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, you guys already know about Kevin Hart at the Super Bowl.

He's excited. His Eagles won for the first time ever in the franchise history. And he did a lot of acting out. He was having a good time, though. He was drunk, clearly. Now, here he is. He kind of bum-rushed this interview that was happening.

And here's what he said live on air. I hope this is an example of what we can do. We gave a f***. Oh. Get up. Get up. All right, we gotta go. He dropped the mic and got up out of there.

All right. Now he's explaining. I guess he's saying the security detail at the Super Bowl was really good. Thank goodness. He shouldn't have been on that stage. Right. Here is Kevin Hart explaining himself. To all the kids out there, I just want to say don't drink.

When alcohol is in your system, you do dumb stuff. Me trying to go on stage with the trophy, definitely in the top two stupidest things I've ever done, but who cares? Eagles won the Super Bowl, and my wife was the first one to say, babe, don't go up there. I told my wife, honey, chill out.

I got to be up there with my city. It didn't work out good. That man did his job, didn't he? I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry. He said, Kevin Hart, I know who you are, but you can't be up here. I said, hell, if I can't, I want to walk. He put his hand on my chest. Hey, man.

I said it earlier this morning. I'll say it again. Drop one of Kool's bombs for that security guard. He was doing his job. Kevin Hart has so many jokes after this. I don't care who you are. You're not getting up here if you don't have the right credentials, okay? Kevin should have told the security guard that one of the players was his father.

Because that's the only other people I see on those stages is the kids of the players. He could have got that off. Kevin Hart put a whole lot of hashtags along with that post. He said, I should have listened to my wife. I was caught up in the moment. I was super drunk. I'm so happy for my city. At least I didn't punch a horse.

That security guard did his job. And then he said, I won so much money on this game. We finally got a Super Bowl. So what? The Eagles won. I'm getting old. Threw up this morning. We finally got a Super Bowl. So what? The Eagles won. I'm getting old. Threw up this morning. Just a lot of different hashtags.

That's a great security guard. That security guard getting a promotion. And y'all clowning Kevin Hart like that didn't happen to you at the Roc Nation brunch last week. Okay? The same thing that happened to Kev yesterday on that Super Bowl field happened to y'all at the Roc Nation brunch. Knock it off. And you had a Roc Nation hat on when it happened. I felt bad for Kev because he was politicking.

So he was like, look, you see me? You see me? And security guard like, I don't give a damn. Are you a player? Are you a coach? If not, you have no business on that stage. I don't care if you're from Philly. He tried so hard. He looks so small trying to drop one of the clues. I like to see security do their job.

You're not going to tell me that when you go to an establishment and you see security doing their job it don't make you feel safer. Alright, now Uma Thurman has done an interview in the New York Times. She did a very long interview, and she's finally speaking out about Harvey Weinstein. And also, she had some things to say about Quentin

Tarantino. Now, you know her from Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction, The Producers. She says that Harvey Weinstein attacked her multiple times early in her career, and she said she felt guilty after so many women have come forward. She talks about going to meet with him in his hotel room and he emerged wearing a bathrobe. And she said she thought he was just like kind of

a kooky person after that. Then he said he first she said he first attacked her in London after that incident. He pushed me down. He tried to shove himself on me. He tried to expose himself. He did all kinds of unpleasant things. She said he later sent her roses. And when she confronted him, he threatened to derail her career. Now, she also says that later on he did apologize to her in person and he did confirm that to the Times who did this article. And her

response, his therapy must be working. Now, she talks about an incident with Quentin Tarantino and she says that he actually made her do this stunt in the car that left her permanently physically damaged. She said, he came in my trailer and didn't like to hear no, like any director. He was furious because I cost him a lot of time, but I was scared.

He said, I promise you the car is fine. It is a straight piece of road. She said, hit 40 miles per hour or your hair won't blow the right way, and I'll make you do it again. So she said what happened was they ended up having a car crash. She has a permanently damaged neck and screwed up knees after that. So the footage is actually in the New York Times story, if you feel like taking a look at that. Now she goes on to say, I am one of the reasons that a young girl would walk into his room alone the way I did.

Quentin Tarantino used Harvey Weinstein as the executive producer of Kill Bill, a movie that symbolizes female empowerment. And all these lambs walked into slaughter because they were convinced nobody rises to such a position who would do something illegal to you but they do so she also feels somewhat responsible for all the other actresses who felt they would be okay and feels like she's somewhat responsible for him having other victims for not having come forward in addition to Raji P Henson's manager who's also Halle Berry's ex-manager, has some allegations against him. Nine women have accused Vincent Ceretioni of unwanted sexual advances over a period of 20 years. Now, he's very closely associated with Halle Berry and Taraji, and he has a reputation as an important gatekeeper for black actresses.

So, according to these women, he would prey upon young women of color seeking an entry into Hollywood. One woman said that he masturbated in front of her in his office during the years that he managed her. Another woman said he offered to advance her career for monthly sex. Three women say he demanded sex as a condition for representing them, and when they refused, he refused to take them as clients as well. Now, Halle Berry posted, Yesterday I was saddened by the allegations against my former manager,

Vincent Tarantioni, but today I'm sick after reading the horrifying detailed accounts of his abuse toward nine women. She said, I'm deeply hurt and I want these women and countless others to know I see you. I hear you. You matter. I will fight for you. Taraji also posted the news about my manager, Vincent Tarantioni, has shocked, hurt, offended, and yet again put professional women in a position to not trust the men they work with. And she goes on to say, I feel saddened, disappointed, and ashamed.

We deserve better. This has to stop. Now wait, with the car crash, because I'm watching the car crash now, it looks crazy. She says she couldn't say no. He demanded that she actually do her own stunt and not use a stunt double. This looks crazy. She's driving 40, 50 miles per hour to a tree. Permanently damaged.

To a tree. She's effed up. I'm watching it now. Wow! I wonder why he would agree to that, knowing that that could be such a liability. I have no idea why he would force her or convince her that she needed to do that. I'm sure she had to sign some type of waiver, basically saying that none of them are liable if she gets hurt.

She also said she tried to get the footage for 15 years and they wouldn't give it to her. They just now released it. So, that footage, like I said, is in the time story of Uma Thurman. Now, I'm going to read Vincent Ciancioni's response to these allegations. He made a statement to the Post. He said, we live in a time where men are being confronted with a very real opportunity to take responsibility for their actions. I support this movement wholeheartedly. I have had former female clients and employees my entire career in this industry.

I have built a reputation for advancing the careers of women of color. He said he's had affairs while in committed relationships. He said ones I am now ashamed to say are coming to light and shading my past and my reputation. I can say without a doubt that I have never used favors, sexual or otherwise, as a reason for managing anyone. So he said all of his relationships have been consensual. Alright, well I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. Alright, thank you Miss Yee. Charlemagne!

Yes sir. Who you giving that donkey to? I need Raven Simone to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with her. This is a teachable moment though. This is a teachable moment about growth and evolution and all that good stuff. Alright, we'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumb ass. You get donkey of the day.

Yeah, you dumb ass. You are a donkey. It's time for donkey of the day. Donkey of the day, huh? I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes. They want this man to throw them blows, man. They wait for Charlamagne to tap them gloves. Let's go.

They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day. They chose you. I know she is. To the breakfast club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today? Well, donkey of the day for Monday, January, no, February 5th, Black History Month, goes to Raven-Symoné. Now, over the weekend, a meme was floating around

that was a picture from the Roc Nation brunch. In the picture was T.I., J.Z., Diddy, Swiss Beats, Big Sean, Yo Gotti, Elliot Wilson, just to name a few. A host of other black men who were just celebrating their life on a fine Saturday afternoon. And the caption read, a group of so-called successful black men, in parentheses it says, minus Khaled, racially,

who became rich and famous from perpetuating the worst black stereotypes to the ears and eyes of the whole planet, like drug dealing, pimping, murdering other black men and disrespecting black women. I know making observations as being a hater. Cheers. Now, I don't know who this post originated from, but Raven-Symoné reposted it from Speech from Arrested Development. Speech, my brother, come on. You of the culture. You know better than that. First of all, you stereotyped

and profiled a whole group of black men based off the lyrical content of a few of the brothers in the picture, okay? Elliot Wilson, not even a rapper. Right? He's a journalist, okay? I have never heard Big Sean talk about drug dealing or murdering other black men, and I don't even know

what majority of the guys in this picture do or who they are, so why profile and stereotype a whole group of men based off the lyrical content of a few? Now, Raven-Symoné, she reposted that with a set of emojis, the monocle emoji, the mouthless face, and a yellow heart that suggested she agreed with the sentiment of the meme. Now, T.I. replied to Raven-Symoné with an Oscar Wilde quote, and I love this quote, every saint has a past, and

every sinner has a future. I repeat, every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. And he added the caption, your sins ain't no greater than ours, man. The air must be thin as hell up there on that high horse you sitting on. Somebody please let me know. WTF up with Shorty? I'll tell you what's up with Shorty. The same thing that's up

with this whole era. We truly live in an era that would have never let Malcolm Little become Malcolm X. I say that all the time because if you ever read the autobiography of Malcolm X, to me, that's the greatest story of transformation in American history, okay? Malcolm Little was drug dealing, gambling, pimping, robbing, but he grew to be one of the greatest human rights activists the world has ever seen. But I believe if he was alive in this era, soon as he started to make the transition, you know,

from the streets to the mosque, y'all would have hit him with the, oh, you a Muslim now, no more dope games. Y'all would have kept bringing up his past and would have never taken Malcolm X serious because of his past as Malcolm Little. For whatever reason in this era, nobody believes in the concept of growth and evolution anymore. In the words of Muhammad Ali, a man who sees the world at 50 the same way he did when he was 30 has wasted 20 years of his life.

People change, okay? The people in that picture have grown and evolved right before our eyes. So why are we still judging them off the sins of their past? Raven-Symoné, what if everywhere you went, people still called you Olivia Kendall? What if people disregarded everything you did after Cosby's show? What if they disregarded that, so Raven, The View, Empire, the albums you were putting out, even though they should, everything,

and just referred to you as Olivia Kendall? Wouldn't you be annoyed that people aren't acknowledging your growth and only acknowledge you as Denise's stepchild and Martin's daughter? Social media causes everyone to be able to create this illusion of perfection, but the problem is that's not the reality of life. There is no such thing as perfection, but nowadays y'all are able to go years without showing

people your flaws, okay? You can go years without showing people all the times y'all effed up, all the times you made mistakes. Nobody sees those, so you start believing that you are indeed as perfect as your Instagram displays. So you start believing that you are indeed as perfect as your Instagram displays. So you sit on your high horses and judge

others as if your bleep don't stink. Yes, those brothers used to rap about selling drugs. Yes, those brothers used to disrespect women in their music. Yes, those brothers rapped about killing people. But art reflects life. So they were rapping about the life they knew. But when you know better, you do better, in the words of Maya Angelou. And maybe, you know,

something wrong with my eyes, but I see all the OGs in that picture from Swizz to Jay to Diddy to T.I. all doing better and teaching better at this point in their lives.

So what's the problem, Raven Simone? What's the problem, speech from Arrested Development? Can we all not remember 1 Corinthians 13, 11? When I was a child, I talked like a child.

I thought like a child. I reasoned like a child. But when I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. I see all those brothers doing that. And I would rather listen to somebody who lived it and changed and grew than listen to someone who's been through nothing but is always casting judgment. Social media really got y'all believing your own lies, really got y'all believing y'all false displays of perfection.

Okay? Them brothers are grown now. And to Raven, Simone, and whoever else likes to judge other people for the sins of their past, always remember that making mistakes is way better than faking perfections. Please give Raven, Simone the biggest yeehaw, please. I'm just saying. Jesus Christ, please don't judge me for what I was in my 20s. Or my teens.

All right. Well, thank you for that donkey. Today, now when we come back, let's talk some of the Super Bowl commercials. Now, people were pretty pissed off about, what, the Dodge Ram commercial? Where they used a clip of Martin Luther King's speech. Let's play it for you first. Everybody can be great. You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve.

You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don't have to know the theory of relativity to serve. You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. Soul generated by love. Well, I need y'all to call up here and put your Uncle Charla on because I do not understand what y'all are so upset about. Because to be honest, I didn't even realize it was a truck commercial until the end. I thought it was a commercial paying homage to the 50th anniversary

of Martin Luther King Jr.'s drum major instinct speech that was given on February 4th, 1968. Yesterday was February 4th. All right, well, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-101. People are pissed off by this. Dodge Ram said that they got approval from the Martin Luther King Jr. estate. I mean,

listen, Ram hasn't... I'm sure they would have to get approval. But Ram has a built to serve program, so the speech made sense to go with that program. And I'm gonna be honest with you, that commercial was way more tasteful than the party flyers y'all Negroes make with Martin Luther King Jr.'s head on Rick Ross' body, holding Ciroc bottles and D'Ussé bottles,

talking about, y'all, I got a dream that women get in the club free before 11. Okay? I never see that. That Ram commercial showed way more respect for MLK Jr.'s legacy than y'all Negroes do with your party flyers. 800-585-1051. Hit us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's talk about it. That was

Notorious B.I.G. More money, more problems. Morning, everybody. It's D.J. Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking Super Bowl, Super Bowl commercials, the Dodge Ram commercial where they use Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech. Let's play a clip of it.

Everybody can be great. You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don't have to know the theory of relativity to serve. You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace Soul generated by love So people are pissed off about this. I'm confused about why people are pissed off. I mean, I saw the commercial last night

and I didn't even realize it was a truck commercial until the end because I thought they were just paying homage to the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s drum major instinct speech that he gave on February 4th, 1968. It was Black History Month. It was the 50-year anniversary of that speech. I didn't think nothing of it. And then, you know, Ram has a built-to-serve program,

so the speech made sense because it was about service. So I didn't see the issue. It's not like he was advertising chicken or beer or, you know, something ridiculous like that. And not to mention, man, have you ever seen the party flyers you negroes have whenever it's martin luther king jr weekend the i have a dream bash with martin luther king jr holding a bunch of money in his hand angela i mean i just see one with martin luther king throwing a blood sign but angela he has a good point that wasn't approved what's what you mean see people just throwing up the likeness now i was reading what people were saying on

twitter when this was happening uh during his sermon 50 years ago today, Martin Luther King also advised people not to spend too much money on their cars, whereas Martin Luther King Jr., noted critic of capitalism, used to sell trucks. Oh, okay. Now, that's a good reason to be upset. It's not about whether or not the family gave approval. I thought that

people were just upset because they're disrespecting Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy. Now, what that young man just said about capitalism is very, very true. They disrespecting Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy. Now, what that young man just said about capitalism is very, very true. They're using Martin Luther King Jr.'s vocals to sell cars when he was against capitalism. Now, that's different. But once again, it still was the 50th anniversary of his speech. I loved hearing Martin Luther King Jr. being broadcasted to 111 million people. Okay.

And once again, but if we're talking about Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy, I want all y'all Negroes to have that same energy when you're taking Martin Luther King Jr.'s head and putting it on Rick Ross' body, and he holding Ciroc bottles and D'Ussé bottles in his hand, okay? Because that Ram commercial shows way more respect for MLK Jr.'s legacy than y'all Negroes ever have. But you know, even with the commercial, the commercial wasn't necessarily about selling cars, was it?

I thought it was more about uplifting and service and appreciating the people that serve the country. Yeah, because the Ram has a program called the Built to Serve program. So being that it was about the Built to Serve program, that's why they use Martin Luther King Jr.

talking about service. Right. That makes more sense than y'all having Martin Luther King Jr. on a blood's body throwing up a gang sign talking about freedom

and the twerk party. tacky and disgusting. Right? Okay? There was nothing tacky about the Ram commercial. It was well thought out and it was the 50th year anniversary of the

drum major instinct speech. Now the estate is run by Martin Luther King Jr.'s son Dexter and he put out a statement this morning. Now that's the same one that met with Trump. He said we found that the overall message of the ad embodied Dr. King's philosophy that true greatness is achieved by serving others. Thus

we decided to be a part of Ram's built to serve Super Bowl program. Y'all got Martin Luther King Jr. in a burgundy velour sweater with his head tilted to the side, and he dabbing. Okay? You know what? I mean, if a woman might have put me on the flyer without the King one time. Look at this flyer. Post this on Revolt right now. He definitely dabbing. Y'all complaining about the Ram commercial that was tastefully done.

He definitely dabbing. It was the 50th year anniversary of his drum major instinct speech. But y'all ain't never complained about these goddamn flyers that y'all Negroes do every morning. I feel like we complain about that every year. No, y'all don't. Yes, we do. You actually go to these parties. I've never been to one of them. Liar. I guarantee you're lying.

I've been hired once or twice. Hello, who's this? Yo, this is Jay, man. Appreciate y'all, man. Appreciate y'all a lot down here in Atlanta. Alright, what you think about the commercial, bro'all, man. Appreciate y'all a lot down here in Atlanta. All right. What you think about the commercial, bro? Hey, honestly and truly, yo, speaking from a private business owner, nonprofit business owner, that commercial does a lot for us in the community, stating that, you know, we still are here serving to it. I appreciate them, you know, giving that speech the right amount of value that it needed, that it should have, being Martin Luther King.

They did justice to it. I see nothing wrong with it. So you like it. The public just want to talk about everything. Yeah, the public just want to be in their feelings about it all. I agree with you, my brother. I thought it was great to be broadcasted to 111 million people. Tanisha, good morning, Tanisha.

Hi, good morning. What did you think about the speech? I thought it was super insensitive. Like, to sell cars over a Martin Luther King speech during Black History Month was ridiculous. But if you actually noticed, there was a pattern all night. It was a lot of products

that were being sold over hip-hop or R&B songs. So it's like, all right, you know, you don't like us Monday through Friday, but Sunday, you know, let's all do that.

I didn't understand it at all. All right, so you were offended. She was offended. I mean, yeah, I was offended. I'm not over here boo-hoo crying about it. I'm a major, but... You felt like it was tacky.

It was super insensitive. I'm going to tell you what else is super insensitive. This goddamn flyer that got Martin Luther King Jr. with some Beats by Dre headphones on it and Lil Wayne standing behind him. And it says the Martin Luther King Jr. No Worries Bash. Friday, January 17th. Doors open at 9.30 p.m.

Everybody, $5 to 11. We'll try to control that. Y'all worried about Ram? What did you think about the Dodge Ram commercial with Martin Luther King Jr.? Everybody, $5 to 11. We'll try to control that. All right. 585-105-1. Y'all worried about Ram? What did you think about the Dodge Ram commercial with Martin Luther King Jr.? No! Call us now. How y'all got a bad bitch Sunday flyer with Martin Luther King Jr. holding up money, man?

They got Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta on the front of the flyer, and it says bad bitch Sunday. Oh, my goodness. But y'all worried about a tastefully done Ram commercial? All right. It's the Breakfast Club Morning. That was G-Eazy, No Limit. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast

Club. If you just joined us, we're talking about the Ram Dodge commercial for the Super Bowl where they use a part of Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech. Everybody can be great. You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don't have to know the theory of relativity

to serve. You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. Soul

generated by love. What do you think about the commercial? I thought it was tastefully done. I didn't even realize it was a truck commercial. I didn't either. I thought it was a commercial paying homage to the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s drum major instinct speech that was given on February 4th, 1968. And if I'm not mistaken, they actually say that at the beginning of the commercial.

And I'm not going to lie. Just like the caller just said, I'm so used to the I have a dream speech. Sometimes it's good to hear other speeches that Martin Luther King did because you always hear that I have a dream. I thought you said you were uncomfortable when you heard it too. No, I wasn't uncomfortable when I heard it. I thought you said that earlier. And then Ram has a built to serve program. So the speech made sense.

And to hear Martin Luther King Jr. talking about being a public servant to 111 million people, I thought it was great. I thought it was more tasteful than the party flyers y'all Negroes make with Martin Luther King Jr. on Jeezy's body talking about I have a dream or die. All right, you know what I'm saying?

Holding Ciroc bottles and D'Ussé bottles, holding money in your hand, talking about you have a dream that all women will get in free before 11. That was very tastefully done from Ram to me. You know, and the fact that the estate approved of it was something else. They showed me that they thought about it. It was

something that went by them and that they said it was alright. Well, his daughter, Dr. Bernice A. King, did not approve of it. She said she doesn't. I bet that she only retweeted that out after she started seeing all the backlash. Yeah, but she's not the one that's in charge of the estate. But I'm saying she had to make clear that she had nothing to do with it because she saw all the backlash.

Jose! Yo! Hey, did that commercial bother you, Jose? Yo, it did a little, man, because, you know, when I was listening to the commercial, I wasn't looking at the screen. And, you know, it was a powerful speech and it was intriguing, but then when you look at the screen and you see them pushing the truck, granted the truck was a nice truck. Okay, thank you, brother.

Sherry. Hi. Hey, Sherry. Good morning, guys. What did you think about the commercial, Sherry? I thought I was perfectly fine with the commercial. I agree with Charlamagne totally. We just need to find something else to complain about other than a Dodge Ram commercial.

Where are they going? Really. Because, I mean, we got a whole lot more other problems like our Orange and Chief in office. And we need to worry about those things instead of a Dodge Ram commercial where they're honoring something great. I agree. All right. Thank you. What's the moral of the story, guys? The moral of the story to me is, man, sometimes you have to put the medicine in the candy. Let's not let the message of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. get lost in the Dodge Ram commercial. The message is about servitude. And I'm the type of person

that really truly feels like you don't know your true purpose in life until you start giving service to others. I feel like that is the true purpose of life to be a public servant. So I didn't have a problem with the Dodge Ram commercial, but I do have a problem with you Negroes.

And yeah, I have a dream bash with Martin Luther King Jr. holding a bunch of money in his hand. You know, party flyers, okay? Martin Luther King Jr. on Slick Rick's body with all the jewelry, you know, with Nicki Minaj behind him with a thong on, all right? Or the Freedom to Twerk parties with MLK on someone's body throwing up gang signs.

That's offensive. All right, well, Yee, we got rumors on the way? Yes, let's talk about boyfriend-girlfriend problems. We'll tell you who just had some issues with his girlfriend pouring chocolate all over his car. Okay, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. First things, buddy. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Char chocolate all over his car. Okay, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

First things first. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, this record was nominated for a Grammy, too. It was? Yeah. I'm not sure if it was Song of the Year or if it was New Artist. I'm not sure.

But anyway. Hey, salute to my guy, It's Biscuit, too, because he just put up the funniest meme. And the meme says, you're walking around with your Roc Nation hat on, but boom, you didn't get invited to the brunch. Okay? And salute to all the guys who went to the Roc Nation brunch and didn't do nothing but take pictures with other men all day long. Okay? I swear some of y'all brothers just went there to get pictures with hip-hop's elite penises. Okay?

You wouldn't have been in those pictures, too, if you were there? No. I wouldn't have gone. I didn't go. All right. Yeah. Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk. I'll take have gone. I didn't go. All right. Yeah. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Octavia Spencer. Listen up. It's just in.

All the gossip. The Rumor Report. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Octavia Spencer recently was on the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Women Breaking Barriers panel at the Sundance Film Festival. And she talked about Jessica Chastain, who was her co-star.

What's wrong with your headphones, bro? Nigga, I don't do the technical stuff here. Just plug it in. No, that ain't me. Okay. This is a little ghetto ass radio station. That's what it is. Okay.

Now, she was talking about Jessica Chastain, who was one of her co-stars in The Help. And she said they had some talks behind the scenes about how women don't get paid as much as their male counterparts. And Octavia Spencer pointed out that women of color make far less than white women even. And here is what she said happened. Jessica Chastain, she contacted me and she said, I want us to do a comedy. And I'm like, yeah. We were talking about pay equity with men and women. And then I said, I want us to do a comedy. And I'm like, yeah. We were talking about pay equity with men and women. And then I said, but here's the thing, women of color,

we make far less than white women. And we talk numbers. And she had no idea that that's what it was like for women of color. She said, Octavia, we're going to get you paid on this film. I said, I would love to do your film, but here's the thing, I'm going to have to get paid. She said, of course, and you and I are going to be tied to do your film, but here's the thing. I'm going to have to get paid. She said, of course. And you and I are going to be tied together. And we're going to make the same thing. And fast forward to last week. We're making five times.

Now, when it comes to race and gender bias arguments, that's who you hit your wagon to. Not Monique. When we say, you know, this is a what have you done for me lately industry, Octavia Spencer is decorated and popping right now. Oscar wins. She hosted SNL last year. She's relevant right now. One of the biggest actresses in the game.

She should be getting her coin. Use her as an example for raising gender bias. Now, Jada Pinkett Smith also said during another panel that Jessica Chastain also negotiated more money for her as well. She said, it's nice to go out in March. We can do that. It's nice to wear black at the Golden Globes. So what are we doing behind closed doors? And I got to give our sister Jessica Chastain her props? And I got to give our sister, Jessica Chastain, her props.

Oh, salute to that white savior, Jessica Chastain. Drop on the clues bomb for her. Yeah, that was dope. But, you know, it just goes to show you they were discussing, you know, Jessica and Octavia Spencer were talking about the pay disparity. And that's when Octavia had to point out to her, you know, black women make way less even than white women who make way less than their male counterparts. It's a whole nother issue.

And she is taking up that issue. And I think a lot more people should do that. Make sure it's not just about you. If you have the power to do that, make it. A lot of times people don't want to discuss what they're making, though. But you should. That's how hard it comes. You don't want nobody in your business, per se.

Or it's a bomb, because I might tell you what I'm making, and you may not deserve as much as I'm making. But in this case, absolutely absolutely Octavia deserves that coin. All right. Now, Jennifer Hudson, in the meantime, is going to be playing Aretha Franklin in a new biopic. And Clive Davis announced that at his pre-Grammy party on Saturday. And he said that Aretha Franklin handpicked her as her choice. So that is going to be a beautiful situation. Is she going to have to wear like a fat suit for later on in life or what? I don't know. I couldn't tell you what's going to be a beautiful situation. Is she going to have to wear a fat suit for later on in life or what? I don't know.

I couldn't tell you what's going to end up happening, but it's based on Aretha Franklin's memoirs from 1998, Aretha from These Roots, and it's been in the works since at least 2011. Is it a period piece from a certain time frame? I didn't read her memoir, but it came out in 98, so it has to be whatever happened before 98. Got you.

So you got to assume at least that much. I love Aretha Franklin, though. How can you not love Aretha Franklin? And she's pretty funny. She's always going in on people. All right, now let's get back to more of this Van Jones-Jay-Z interview that happened over the weekend. Now, Jay-Z spoke with Van Jones about fighting for his marriage,

even though they were going through some issues. You can love someone, and if you haven't experienced love and you don't understand it and you don't have the tools to move forward then you're going to have complications period. You can either address it or you can pretend until it blows up at some point. For us we chose to fight for our love for our family to give our kids a different outcome you know to break that cycle. We were never a celebrity couple. We were a couple who just happened to be celebrities. Yes. Now we also talked about some advice for cheating men.

Here's what he had to say. The best apology is change behavior, right? Also, you have to acknowledge the pain. You have to let that person have their say. You have to really work through it and really be honest. And no matter how many times, it takes a while. It's hard. It's very difficult.

It's difficult to hear, difficult to say. It's difficult to listen to that sort of pain. And you just have to be strong enough. You have to be strong enough to go through that because on the other side, it's beautiful. Absolutely. What do you mean by strong, though? What do you mean?

Because I'm dropping to my knees and saying, baby, baby, baby, baby, please don't leave me, okay? What do you mean? No, no, no. He's saying do that, but he's saying that you never know when it's going to come back up. It could be three years down the line you get hit in the back of the head with a Brian fan and you just got to sit there and shut up.

You got to take that out. And, okay, so what if it's personal? Also hear what Jay-Z had to say when asked about Donald Sterling losing his team, the Clippers, all because of some remarks that he made. Donald Sterling had been exposed as this racist on a private phone conversation that he was having, and he took his team from him.

And it's like, okay, that's one way to do it. Another way would have been let him have his team, and then let's talk about it together. Because once you do that, all the other closet racists just run back in the hole. You haven't been fixed anything. What you've done was spray perfume on a trash can. And what you do when you do that is, you know, the bugs come and you spray something and then they come and then you create a super bug. Then now we have Donald Trump, the super bug. That's very true.

Overt racism is way better than covert racism. It's good to know who's who. And when you know who's racist, you know how to punish them properly. Like, because you're not going to support somebody who's overtly prejudiced, right? So you think he shouldn't have got his team taken from him? I think he should have gotten his team taken. I think he should have gotten his team taken from him. That's one of the punishments, but I understand what Jay-Z is saying. But even if you punished him, even if you didn't go to the games, you know, if you're

a racist, you're not going to come out because you don't want to lose the business regardless, you know? But regardless, it was an interesting conversation. And think about all the other racist owners in the NBA who are like, oh, let me keep my race to the quiet. Alright, and since we're talking sports, let's talk

about Jamelle Hill. She is leaving Sports Center and moving over to ESPN's digital brand, The Undefeated. Now people were trying to say she got fired, this, this, and that. Still the same company. She's just going over to The Undefeated. Now she posted in response to everybody coming at her. She said, life comes at you fast, doesn't it? And while I'm amused by the rumors that I was demoted, kicked off the 6 p.m. Sports Center,

or whatever else can be conjured, the truth is pretty simple and not nearly as dramatic. I asked to leave the show. Some of you will probably need to read that sentence again because of a strong desire to return to reporting, writing, and commentary. Not many people get to say they were a sports center anchor, so I consider myself lucky to have worn that title and sat in the same chair as many of the icons in our business. Don't drop on the clues, Mom, for Jemele Hill. Jemele Hill's gonna be fine.

She's way too talented to not be fine. It's not just the undefeated. She's also contributing to other ESPN shows as well. She said there's also some things that she can't quite announce today, but she said it will make this next phase of my career that much more exhilarating. And, of course, she thanked her co-host, Michael Smith. Yeah, and you don't really have a tough year when you speak truth to power.

She'll be fine. She will get everything that God in the universe has planned for her in the future. Trust that. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Reports.
