Episode Date: January 15, 2021

Someone call Angela Yee cause Dj Envy and Charlamagne were out of control this Friday. After Charlamagne listened to some music that made him feel he was a gang member for real while driving to work, he gave himself "Donkey of the Day" for being influenced by that type of music. He even put himself in Breakast Club court, and had listeners call up to to let Charlamagne know if it was ok or not for him to be influenced by the music at his age. Moreover, speaking of acting gangster, we also had Naturi Natughton also known as Tasha from Power call in where she spoke about the lastest season of The Power Book, her engagement, new music and almost having to pull up on someone, testing her gangster!

Allow me to introduce myself. DJ Envy,

Angela Yee, and Charlamagne Tha God. Well, y'all done came a long way. I think that y'all have a certain amount of respect for, you know, what everybody else does. And y'all are just the best at what y'all do. This platform, the reach y'all have that you've earned, makes space for somebody like me. You guys have a direct line to the culture. Oh, my God, I'm on the radio with Angela Charlemagne and DJ Envy. Yes, you are. All I do is read about the Breakfast Club.

Really? Every morning. That's good. You guys are trending. Every, you know, I drag my ass out of bed. I'm like, uh, what happened on the Breakfast Club today? Get your ass up. All right, let's start it over. Envy's not here, Angelie.

So you got to throw the ball in the air. Angelie's not here either today. Oh, she's not here. Okay, well, damn it. Never mind. Nobody told me. Didn't know I was all alone. Hey, what's happening?

I go by the name of Charlemagne the God. I'm not doing the yo-yo-yos by myself. I refuse to. That just feels stupid. It feels like I'm throwing the ball in the air and then trying to dunk it at the same time. Let me give it a college try. Let's see. Let me throw it up.

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Nope, nope. It's not going to work. It's not going to happen. DJ Envy is stuck in traffic. I didn't know Angelie was off today. Where's Angelie at? It's her birthday.

No, it's not. Her birthday was on the 3rd. Well, she had to take off for her birthday. Today is the goddamn 15th. I'm just relaying the message, bro. I don't do the schedule over here. Alright, man. Well, listen, we got a great show lined up for you today. At 7 o'clock, we have

Notori Naughton. Okay? Do people even still call her Notori or do you know her as Tasha from Power? I'm not sure, but she'll be here this morning at 7 o'clock. And then at 8 a.m., we have attorney Ben Crump. It was a terrible situation that happened right around the corner. You know, we broadcast from New York City right here in the Tribeca area.

And if you've seen the video of Soho Karen, the young brother, Keon Harold, Keon Harold Jr., his father, Keon Harold Sr., and his mother, Kat Rodriguez, will be joining us this morning to talk to us about the action they're trying to take to get their son some justice, okay? So they'll be tapping in with us at 8 a.m., all right? So let's get the show started. All right, we got front page news up next. I don't know what the hell I'm talking about because I just got here.

What is this song? What is this? Roddy Ricch, High Fashion. Oh, my God. All right. Sleuth to my guy? Roddy Ricch, High Fashion. Oh, my God. All right. Sleuth to my guy, Roddy Ricch. He just tied a hand to the song. Nothing personal against you. Everything personal against radio for constantly, constantly playing the same music over and

over, okay? It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Hey, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy. But Angela Yee and DJ Envy are not quite here yet. DJ Envy is on his way. So I guess I got to do front page news by myself. Now, we had this discussion yesterday.

We need to get an intro for front page news. This Empire State of Mind instrumental not cutting it no more. You hear me? Okay? That's right. We're going to correct things in real time. God damn it. All right.

Let me do it. Now, NFL playoffs this weekend. I don't even know why I give a damn about the playoffs. My cowboy's not in it, but whatever. The LA Rams play the Green Bay Packers at 4.35 p.m. Baltimore Ravens play Buffalo Bills at 8.15 p.m. tomorrow. And on Sunday, the Cleveland Browns play the Kansas City Chiefs at 3.05 p.m. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers play the New Orleans Saints at 6.40 p.m.

We got a fake-ass Buccaneers fan in this room. Why are you hating? His name is Dramos. Why are you such a hater? Dramos is your Puerto Rican. Where are you from? Puerto Rican. I'm from Jersey.

You're from Jersey. How does a Puerto Rican from Jersey become a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan? How does a... Because you look like the old logo? How does an African-American man from South Carolina become a Cowboys fan? I'll tell you why. How? Because in South Carolina, we didn't have a professional football team.

Okay. And being that we didn't have a professional football team, my daddy grew up a Dallas Cowboys fan, not to mention the whole rock star lifestyle that was surrounding the Cowboys, the cocaine, all of that type of good stuff. My dad was into all of that. Okay? To answer your question. Alright? And speaking of South Carolina, drop on the

clues box for South Carolina. My guy Jamie Harrison has been appointed the head of the Democratic National Committee. I always think it's dope when something doesn't go one way for a person and then they end up in another position. Jamie ran for Senate against Lindsey Ladybug Graham, who needs to be the hell up out of there.

But he ran against Lindsey Graham and lost. But now he's the head of the DNC. So sometimes your good plan for yourself may not be God's plan for you. So salute to my guy, Jamie Harrison. And I was seeing that Keisha Lance Bottoms has been nominated for a Democratic National Committee post. I don't even know what the hell that means. Okay, that don't sound better than being mayor of Atlanta, but I don't know if it is or not. But that's probably why she don't care if y'all in the club spreading that Rona all through the ATL because she leaving.

If y'all die, you die. Okay. What else I saw on front page news? Oh, Ayanna Pressley. Ayanna Pressley said the panic buttons were torn out before the Capitol riots. Confirming my suspicions that it was an inside job. Of course it was.

Trust me. All right, I've talked my way out of enough home invasions to know when something is a setup. Okay, I don't even know who to trust in government anymore, but I know who I do trust. And that's no damn body, okay? Period. And for some reason, I started just saying that's on Crip, but I'm not a Crip, so I don't

even know why the hell I would even say something like that, all right? To all the gangs out there. All right, now, I don't know. I don't know why I said that. I just felt like saying that. You know what it was? I was riding, I'm going to tell you something. I was riding in this morning, and I was listening to Pooh Shiesty, God Up.

So I don't know. Maybe I'm just in that mood. Dropping the clues about Pooh Shiesty. It's a great song if you've never heard God Up, by the way. It just really gets you in all your inner ratchet feelings. Now, we got Get It Off Your Chest coming. 1-800-585-1051. If you want to get something off your chest,

if you want to tell us why you're blessed, reach out and touch us. If you want to tell us why you're mad, reach out and touch us. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we packed. Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass. This is your time to get it off your chest.

Charlamagne Tha God, Angelique, DJ Envy, but they not here. It's just me, so get it off your goddamn chest. Who this? Oh, Charlamagne. It's Blind Beauty. Hey, Blind Beauty.

Let's's happening so one first i mean i haven't talked to you guys i haven't been able to get through and i just missed y'all it's a new year starting new trying to get healthy and everything like everybody else at the beginning okay i see you i see you blind beauty yeah so you specifically every year you mean to the singles on Valentine's Day.

Yeah, so I'm not single, but right here. What's up, it's your boy, Melon Ninja. You can do better, Blind Beauty. You can do better. Soon as somebody gets on the phone and says, it's your boy, you can do better. You can do better. Hi, Dramos.

Hey, what's up, Blind Beauty? Anything else, Blind Beauty? No, that was it. You know, definitely you're Blind Beauty. Follow me on Instagram. Love you guys. I love you too, Blind Beauty. Thank you for calling.

All right, bye. Yep, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. This is Charlamagne Tha God. Get it off your chest. What's happening? Who this?

This is Ty Charlamagne. Ty, what's up, King? Envy, Angela Yee. They're not here yet, so don't think they're being rude. I didn't think that they were. Okay, cool. Hey, listen.

This is the best opportunity and time that this country's had for statehood for Washington, D.C. and statehood for Puerto Rico. H.R. 5-1, that's statehood for D.C. Explain. H.R. 4-9-0-1 is statehood for Puerto Rico. Why is it

the best time? Explain. They're not going to get this opportunity of this many Democrats in place through Congress, through the Senate, and for the President of the United States and the Vice President to all be on the same page, again, likely, in another 10 cycles. And D.C. has proven itself to be a functional city. No, it has not. D.C. is corrupt as hell and that situation that happened on the Capitol last week proves

it. It was an inside job so you don't know who's who. D.C. didn't have the opportunity to call in the state militia because they aren't in control of the state militia. The mayor tried to push for it and had to get help from Maryland and Virginia because they don't have the power of statehood.

Had they had the power of statehood, the state militia in D.C. would have been there. I don't know what you're talking about. I know it's Friday, right? I'll take your word for it. Hey, guys. Here's the thing. Here's the thing I will tell you. I don't trust the Democrats to do anything because the Democrats have yet to show one political strategy

that would absolutely work, and that's courage. They've got to have the courage to push those buttons, but I think they shook, and they're even more shook now because they're afraid that these mobs are going to run down every time they try to do something. You legalize marijuana, a mob going to rush somewhere. You give out $2,000 stimulus checks, which they shouldn't be mad at, a mob going to rush somewhere.

Who knows? That's just my personal opinion. All right. See, and It's disrespectful because Envy just hung up on that brother. Envy walks in the room and just starts hanging up on people. That's disrespectful. No, we have a break.

With Blind Beauty, we had a full conversation. She said bye. I said bye. Envy just hangs up on the person. We have four minutes. We have breaks. There's times that we have to keep. That's disrespectful. It's disrespectful. That's disrespectful. I keep talking. Let me put him back on in.

Well, it's too late now. You hung up on him. Oh, you're right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. 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. You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Terrell, man, from L.A. What's going on? Terrell, what up?

Peace, King. Hey, what's going on? What's up? God and Anzal E, how y'all doing this morning? Man, blessed, black, and highly favored, brother. It's 3-something in the morning where you at. You in L.A. Yeah, my son said, Dad, you got to get up at three

to catch him. You got to get up at three. Even though I got work in a minute, I said, let me call you y'all. Y'all answering, man. We have to hear from y'all, man. But my wife started our first podcast, man, called Talks with Terrell and Eva. Called what? Talks with Terrell and Eva.

Okay. I got married when I was 23. I'm married 30. I got married when I was 23. I'm 53 now. I got married when I was 30 years ago. And we're a black couple that's still doing it. We're just spreading the good word, man. That's beautiful, man. Telling people every argument and they break up.

You know, just how we can stay together, man. We can stay together instead of breaking up. What's up with that sex life? What's up with that sex life? What's up with that sex life? Penis still getting as hard as it used to? Oh, dude, man. Why you asking me? Like I'm 19.

Ooh, okay. I'm still like a rabbit, man. Like, you know, why you put me on my schedule? What you using, that honey pack? I use another man's straight, you know, hemp, baby. You know, all natural. Okay, baby. You know, all natural. Okay, okay. You said hemp, though.

Listen, that VIP honeypack ain't no joke, though. All you brothers out there, what do you say about that VIP honeypack? What is wrong with you, man? Thank you, brother. You ain't never tried that honeypack? Good luck with it. Envy will look at me and say, what's wrong with you? He'll go to Google and type in that VIP honeypack and order something.

No, I'm driving in this morning. I heard you shout out all the gangs. I don't know why I said that. I'm going to be honest with you. I'm going to ask you, Envy, how his penis is working. I'm going to tell you why. No, I'm driving in this morning. I heard you shout out all the gangs. I don't know why I said that. I'm going to be honest with you. I'm going to ask you when you asked me how his penis is working. I'm going to tell you why. Yes, these are strange things. No, I was riding in the work, man,

and I was listening to the title New South playlist. I was listening to, like, my man Lil Boss. I know it. I was listening to Flo Milli, Roaring 20s. But it's this one record called Guard Up by Pooh Shiesty. Boy, that record's so hard. Bro, first you said you was a crip. No, I did not say I was a crip.

What I said was that's on crip. I hear you asking me how his penis is. No. You know how somebody be talking like, that's on crip. And then I had to think about it. Like, I ain't even no crip. Why am I saying that? I walk in here and the lights are a little dim.

You and Dramos is looking at each other. I don't know if I should just take the day off. Salute to all the gangs, though. Salute to everybody out there. Mello, I don't know what's going on up here, though. Mello. Yo. Su-woo. No, I'm kidding. What's up? What's up with this dude, man? Mello, I don't know what's going on up here, though. Mello! Yo! Su-woo!

What's up with you, man? Mello, what's happening? Yo, man, how you feeling on this day, man? You held it down for the morning while everybody wasn't there, man. It's about time. I appreciate that, Slime. It's about time. I appreciate that, Slime.

What's wrong with you, man? Yo, man, I don't know who died and made you 6'9", but you better stop. Word. I don't know what the hell is going on up there. Yo, man, nah, I called here because, you know, today's Friday. It's a real freaky type of Friday because I have a type of, I have a question that needs to be answered.

What's up? I just want to know, I want to know, why is it cool that if a girl get a vibrator, everybody on you like, oh, my God, that's so hot. But the second the dude want a pocket vagina, he wrong. Like, how come she could pleasure herself, but he can't, you know, get that mouth master 5000 with the Nausea Collection nut tray? Let him rock. Now, listen, I agree with you, but I'm the type of person, like, I don't know why you having those type of conversations with people.

I thought you had a girl, though. Why you need a pocket vagina? I mean, like, I don't know why you're having those type of conversations with people. I thought you had a girl, though. Like, where are people doing? Why do you need a pocket vagina? I mean, yo, of course, this ain't for me. This is not for me at all. I'm just a messenger. Don't shoot the messenger. I don't know, bro. You named that goddamn mouthwatcher like Ralphie used to name that Red Ryder BB gun.

Bro, you broke it down. Mello, what do you call your pocket vagina? What's the name? First of all, what do you call your pocket vagina? What's the name? First off, I don't have a pocket vagina. Why are we putting this on me? Like I said, I'm just a messenger. I'm just saying, a guy, if he wants one, he should be able to have one.

That's just what I'm saying. I agree with you, but where is this a discussion at? On Clubhouse? Where did you start this? Listen, I'm not going to reveal my sources. Like I said, you can do the six-nine. Mello, Mello, stay out of the dildo room on Clubhouse, bro. The dildo room on Clubhouse ain't for you, King.

Thank you, Mello. Charlamagne, so if you had a pocket... What? As he brings me a pocket vagina. That's wild, bro. Why you just got a pocket vagina laying around here? That's not mine. Dan just gave it to me. But if you had a pocket vagina, what would you call it, Charlamagne? I you just got a pocket vagina laying around here? That's not mine. Dan just gave it to me.

But if you had a pocket vagina, what would you call it, Charlemagne? I wouldn't have a pocket vagina. I prefer a good old-fashioned organic masturbation. I wouldn't do the GMO masturbation. Okay. I think you would call it Dramos, but we'll let it slide. I like good old-fashioned Pamela Anderson. And who's walking around with a pocket vagina?

This is mine. From where? I did not request this. Mm-hmm. Pleasure control in the palm of your hand. All right. That's right. Me and Pamela Anderson, baby.

Organic. That's what I do. It's a Puerto Rican on the box, not a black person. I can give this to drama. I'm good. All right. Thank you. All right.

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. When you find out that thing used, you're going to be mad you was touching it that whole time, maybe. What? All right, when we come back, we got some rumors. We'll tell you which rap star buried his gold teeth in the backyard. All right, keep it locked.

This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this.

Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.

I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe own country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God.

What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities

for ourselves, for self-preservation and protection. It was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.

You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Plyce. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up.

Now Plyce is saying goodbye to his signature gold teeth. Yesterday he had a funeral in his backyard for him. We all gathered here today to bury my gold teeth. Been a long time coming. But like they say, all great things must come to an end. Let us all bow our heads. Heavenly Father, thank you for giving me these gold teeth. Made a lot of money with them and ate some of the best s*** this world has ever seen.

But moving forward, it's a different me. And ladies, don't think you're off in the... Gonna put your little s*** juice on these purlers, cause you ain't. That's why you not here? She went to the funeral for Plies' teeth? That's what happened? So Plies had permanence? I don't know. Did he show what his real teeth look like?

I like to see people's veneers, even though they be looking stupid because they big as hell. I like to see people with nice, well-done veneers. Did he show his teeth? I didn't see his teeth. I just seen the gold teeth in a little container he had that he was burying him in. Let's see what them real teeth look like, Ply's, or them veneers you got. Let's see. You won't show us that hairline.

Let's see them veneers. Now, shout out to Trevor Noah. Trevor Noah just bought a Bel Air mansion worth $27.5 million. I'm going to close bonds with Trevor Noah. 11,000 square feet. Now, I don't know if this is for him to live in or it's for him to invest because he purchased a mansion in 2019 for $20.5 million, but sold it last summer for $21.7 million so he made $1.2 million on that deal.

Go ahead, Trevor Noah. I mean, listen, Trevor Noah's got a great career. Of course, he's got the Daily Show on Comedy Central. His book, Born a Crime, sold hella, hella copies, still selling hella, hella copies, and they're turning that into a movie. Trevor Noah does well for himself. He earned it. Six bedroom, 11 baths.

So congratulations to him. Now, rapper wife and Lucci, it looks like he's been ID'd allegedly as the fatal driver of a murder. Now, allegedly saying this call right here was the reason that he got caught. Lady was walking with her sister and seen somebody thrown outside a vehicle. We need an ambulance. Oh, f***. Somebody is laying down.

I don't know if he barely... Let me connect you. Somebody just threw him out of the car. Let me connect you to the ambulance. That's all we need to hear. Can y'all please get... That's all we need to hear. Playing that traumatizing-ass call on a Friday, man.

That's all we need to hear. That poor woman probably need to be in therapy after witnessing what she witnessed, man. Yeah, but so he's identified as the shooter. He turned himself in yesterday. Now, you know him and Young Thug had beef for years, but Young Thug put on Instagram on, I don't want to see no igger in jail. Hashtag free all.

How do 911 operators stay so calm when they get those calls like that? When they get those calls like that, how does that trauma that that young lady is expressing not rattle you a little bit? Do they go to a class or something for that 911 operator? I'm sure they go to class, but most 911 operators, I don't want to seem like they're not emotional, but they're just trying to get the information. They're like, no, what block are you on?

What street? What do you see? What type of car? Did you see a plate? They're trying to get the information to try to solve the crime. So they're less emotional. Like, how you feeling? No, they're less that.

It's more details. It seems like they have very high emotional intelligence. Yes, absolutely. And lastly, this is something that I've seen that I think Charlamagne would be interested in. Now, Charlamagne loves documentaries. Now, Hulu. Depends on what? A new documentary called The Search for Sasquatch.

Come on now, you know I'm there. Big Stepper Sasquatch, baby. You already know. That's the original Big Stepper. It's a three-part series about Bigfoot. Come on now. Investigates rumors of bizarre 25-year year old triple homicide said to be the work of Sasquatch.

I watch them all. I'm watching some Bigfoot show that comes on. I used to love finding Bigfoot, but now with some other Bigfoot TV show that comes on now, I can't even remember the name of it, but it's just beyond on the reruns and I stay watching it all the time. Do you really believe in Bigfoot and Sasquatch? I believe that Sasquatch

existed at some point. I still think that they have some reserves in America where they keep a few. But, yes, I think that they did exist at some time. It's just a freaking primate in the woods. That's all. That's all it was, a primate in the woods. All right. I definitely believe in Sasquatch.

Big steppers. Okay, the original big steppers. The original Wendy Williams feet. Drop on the cruise bond for Sasquatch, All right. Big steppers. Okay, the original big steppers. The original Wendy Williams feet. Drop on the cruise bond for Sasquatch, damn it. You are stupid. All right, well, that is your rumor report. Now, when we come back, we'll give you some coronavirus vaccine updates. A lot of people want the vaccine now.

At first, people are like, no, I'm not doing it. I don't want it. Now, it's a rush to get the vaccine. So we'll give you some updates when you can get that vaccine. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club get the vaccine. So we'll give you some updates when you can get that vaccine. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. All right, football fans. NFL playoffs begin this weekend. Well, they started last week a wild card, but playoffs begin. Saturday, the Rams versus the Packers. Ravens versus the Bills.

And Sunday, the Browns versus the Chiefs. And the Bucks versus the Saints. Who you got in the Super Bowl, Charlemagne? The Dallas Cowboys is going to win the Super Bowl this year. Okay? That's always my answer. Is that on slime? That's on slime, slime. Alright? Look at that! Dallas Cowboys in the Super

Bowl. Okay? I think the Kansas City Chiefs got it again. You know what, though? I'm not going to... Tampa all day. You know he's a fake Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan because he looks like the old logo. But, yeah, I think I can see the Kansas City Chiefs repeating. But I don't know, man.

All jokes aside, it's something about the Buffalo Bills and it's something about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie to you. I don't know. But, so, the long story short, I don't know who the hell is going to win the Super Bowl. All right. Well, let's get to some front page news.

Now, the latest on the coronavirus pandemic. Biden proposes a $1.9 trillion vaccination and economic rescue legislative package. He thinks that people should have a lot more money than are given. Now, I believe people are getting $600 if they're single, and if they have a family, they can get up to $2,400. Am I right? Yes, I know I'm right because I know people who got it. That's under the Trump plan? That's under the Trump plan right now.

Okay. I ain't hearing nothing but no $2,400. Yeah, no, it depends on how many kids you have. If you have a bunch of kids, I think they give it per kid, and they're able to get $1,200. Now, we have Biden talking about what he thinks people should be getting. We will finish the job of getting a total of $2,000 in cash relief to people who need it the most. The $600 already appropriated is simply not enough. We just have to choose between paying rent and putting food on the table. Even for those who've kept their jobs,

these checks are really important. I think that's old because now what I read yesterday is that he's giving $1,400 per person. Yeah, $1,400 stimulus checks for Americans and extending unemployment benefits, including a $400 weekly unemployment insurance supplement through September. So that's BS. Where's the rest of the money, Joe? You said $2,000 a few weeks ago, okay? So y'all take that $600 y'all was giving out before and add that to what you're offering with that $1,400. That's $2K.

Where is the money, Joe? Y'all give these corporations whatever they want. Y'all don't shortchange them, so don't shortchange the American people. And he up, slime. And y'all cut that clip off because at the end of that clip, after he said people need to get $2,000, $6,000 isn't enough, Joe ended it by saying on Crip. So where is the money, Joe?

Where's the money, Joe? Joe, where's the money? And also everybody out there that has a business that are using the PPP loans the proper way. You're going to jail. Okay, you said the proper way. Never mind. The proper way. Never mind.

I got ahead of myself. They opened up some more money for you guys. So if you do need more, definitely check the website so you can possibly get some more money to pay your employees so that way your employees won't be fired. That's right. And for the rest of y'all, you're going to jail. For all of y'all not using PGP the proper way, you're going to jail. That's right.

Now also, the U.S. coronavirus death toll is projected to surpass 400,000 by Inauguration Day. So that is a lot of people as they're still trying to get vaccines in. It's weird that some states are getting vaccines a lot faster than other states. Some states, they just started today where, like in New York, they've been vaccinating people, what, two weeks ago?

In Jersey, it's been about two weeks ago as well. So just make sure you go on the line. I'm not sure each, I think it's, is it the same for each state? It's not the same for each state. It's different for each state. Yeah, each state set the rules. Yeah, but you definitely log on. And if you're over the age of 65, you have preconditioned health problems,

they will definitely put you on line first. I've been seeing a lot of people getting their vaccinations, their first shots, and then you got to come back, I believe, 21 days to get the second shot. Now, Corona is a gangbanger. Okay, COVID don't care what set you banging. Slime, Crip, he's spraying everybody, okay? But they all say... And that's on the set. More and more people want to take the vaccination.

They said at first, it was only like 25% of the people that they asked. Now it's more like 80% of the people that they asked that are willing to take the vaccination. Well, the fear-mongering is working. You know what I'm saying? That's all. The fear-mongering is working. But once again, you know, I hate being on these phone calls and these Zoom calls where they get a bunch of black people together and they try to convince, you know, black people in media to tell other black folks to take the vaccine. Because I will keep saying over and over, I have never seen this government in a rush to remedy any other virus in the black community.

Whether it's the virus of poverty, whether it's the virus of effed up schools, whether it's the lack of health care, whether it's police brutality. They never in a rush to remedy anything else in the hood, but they all of a sudden want to get this vaccine to the black community. I'm not saying, I'm not an anti-vaccine. I'm just saying I'm watching them with a side eye. That's all I'm saying.

I'm not getting paid to say take the vaccine, but I'm taking it as soon as I can. I signed up for it. I've been trying to get the plug to get it. I want the vaccination. Be that! Slime! Or brrat.

Whatever that means. On Crip, you getting the vaccine? Or brrat. On COVID, say it. On COVID. On COVID, you getting the vaccine. Damn right. Brrat.

All right. And that is your front page news. Why is this getting close? I don't know, man. I'm telling you, I listened to that New South playlist on Tidal and, you know, I'm just, you know, I'm just, yeah.

I listened to too much Key Glock and Poo Shiesty and Lil Boss. I'm sorry. Let me sit my old ass down. You got Kirk Franklin in there. Can we play a little bit

of Kirk Franklin, man? Kirk Franklin, he'll stay on God. Now, when somebody stay on God, that might be worse than staying on Slime. I'm telling you, he stay on God, it's on.

All right. When we come back, Notori Norton will be joining us. We're going to kick it with Notori when we come back. You know Tasha. On Ghost. You know Tasha. No, on Raina. On Raina.

Don't you disrespect Natasha. My goodness. All right. Notori. Breakfast Club Awarded. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed?

A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves.

What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warheads. Oh my god. What is that? Bullets. Bullet holes. We need help!

We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High.

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

And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Like grace, have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on

the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line. We have Notori Norton. Welcome. What up? Good morning.

Good morning. Do people even call you Notori anymore? I'm sure you get called Tasha more than anything. I almost called you Tasha. I ain't gonna front. You know what? It's kind of funny. I be in the grocery store. I'm out in Brooklyn, and they're like, what up you Tasha. I ain't gonna front. You know what? It's kind of funny. I be in the grocery store. I'm out in Brooklyn

and they're like, what up, Tasha? And I feel like obligated to turn around and be like, oh, yes. Because I'm like, any girl in the hood could be a Tasha, but I know they're talking to me. But most people know me from Notorious and other things, so they know I'm the Cherry Naughton. Right.

You know, it's funny, when you announced that you were engaged, everybody kept saying, Ghost is going to be mad. Ghost is not going to like this. Well, congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. I'm very, very proud. I told everybody, I'm only talking with my left hand, like, all the time.

I'm just like, oh, how you doing? No, it's amazing. I'm very, very happy. Thank you. Didn't Ghost introduce you to your new bae? Am I getting my information wrong? He did. You got that right. His name is Omari Harden.

Don't start, Charlamagne. Don't start. I'm just saying y'all broke up. He's dead now, so y'all kind of moved on. In real life we were just like friends but it's funny Omari and I we had a session at the studio he was like oh you gotta meet my people

my team and introduce me and literally two years ago that happened and we've been best friends now fiancés ever since. Well how did he ask? How did he pop the question? Oh, it was amazing. Okay, I told Angela this. So basically, my daughter and I,

he was like, oh, I want to do a photo shoot for the family. And we're doing the shoot. I'm thinking it's a holiday shoot two days before Christmas. I'm like, oh, you know, in my dress, stylist. He has a makeup artist, stylist. Everybody's there there my entire team

out of nowhere in comes mickey minnie goofy and my daughter's obsessed zuri's obsessed with disney so i was like oh this is so cute after that the music changes my parents are behind mickey and minnie my best friend it was it was surreal and then when i turned around he was on one knee and asked me to do life with him and he also gave my daughter a ring he gave zuri a little ruby her birthstone nice he was like my commitment to you is also a commitment to her no you're like over the moon excited i saw the picture she was so hyped so so happy. I was. I feel like I've been waiting on my life for this. You know, it's hard to find people in the industry,

especially because Tasha's such a sexy, you know, strong character for the last seven years. I think a lot of men may feel like, oh, can I really be like, can that be wifey? And I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm not Tasha. I'm Naturi. Let's talk about the daughter thing, giving the daughter a ring. That's kind of gangster.

That takes things to another level. Is that something men should be doing? You know, I was a single mom, and a lot of people know I had, you know, a previous relationship, had my daughter. I went through a lot. And then realizing that he made a choice, a conscious choice to love me, but not just to love me. He loves Zuri. So I think I mean, I'm not saying I mean, I think he's definitely elevated the game of, you know, proposals because everybody was like, oh, my gosh, I never thought of that. Like, it's not just you. And the fact that he gave her this little beautiful ring, her little finger was touching.

So I think, you know, that's that's next level wow that's it is you guys were best friends right when did it move from being friends into being a relationship how did you realize that that's such a good question because we went out like groups and friends everybody just like in the end you know he's in the music game we were all just like hanging out. I think when he officially asked me, we went shuffleboarding. Have y'all ever been shuffled? I'm about to take y'all's dating game. It's like air hockey, but on the ground there's a long stick,

and you push the puck. That's not in New York. That had to be somewhere in Brooklyn. Yeah, it's in Brooklyn. Really? Yeah, really? He found his spot in Gowanus. He's not in New York. He was in Brooklyn. Really? Yeah, really. I never heard of him again. He found his spot in Gowanus. It's called like Palm something.

Anyway, I never heard of it in my life. I'm super East Orange Jersey. So I was like, what you taking me to? Some white people games? You know, no offense, but it was a joke. It is white people games, but go ahead. But you know, I was like, what the heck? And my fiance's black, so I was like,

but anyway, he had an itinerary for our day. He was like, I'm picking you up, this is what we're doing, shuffleboard. So at that point, I was like, oh, we're like dating now because when a man has a plan, it kind of like changes everything. It's not just, oh, we

kicking it. You know how dudes like, oh, you know, we just kicking it. We hanging out. What's hanging out? No. Right. And it wasn't a group activity. It was just the two of you. So that's when you really know. Exactly. He was like, oh, you want to have one-on-one time. So it was cool.

Now, why are you protecting your fiance's identity? Are you afraid that some of the people who want to kill you or Tariq would want to kill him as well? What is it? First off, nobody want to kill me. If you saw the finale of Power, everybody's a little sad that they done sent me away. You got shot at. I did get shot at.

Tommy tried to kill you. And I deserved it. Tommy did try to kill me. I deserve it. I recognize that. You know, I did kill Lakeisha. And, you know, I kind of planned to kill Ghost with my son. I just think people, until the wedding, like, y'all will see him at the wedding.

I just don't think people need to be, like, all in his Instagram and all, you know, because I've done it before with, you know, when I was in a relationship with my daughter's dad, I feel like I made the mistake of putting too much out there too soon. And I learned, so I guess I'm just doing it for a lesson learned because so many people are not happy for you. Like truly so many people don't want what's best for you. So I was like, yeah, no, we'll just take our time with this information. If anybody knows, it's not like a big secret. Like, you'll see them out together. They're together all the time. If you know me, you know me.

If you know us, it's not like a secret love. Like, I'm not, you know, about to marry somebody who's got another wife. Like, it's not one of those. It's not a secret situation. But it is protecting the people. And I feel like I learned from Beyonce. Beyonce and Jay, they literally got married and no one even knew, unless you were close with them.

That's how we gonna do. And then the pictures will come out a month later. All right, we got more with Notori. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. We're kicking it with Notori Norton. Yee. Nat, were you thrilled about the reception of Power Book 2? Because everybody was loving watching it this season. And you had such a huge role on that. But you also never know what could happen to you, right? Were you ever scared you might get killed off?

All the time. Like, actually, i thought i might die in season six and when they killed ghosts i was like oh it's real out here y'all just out here like killing folks um and i had to kill lakisha that was the hardest thing i mean shout out to lala shout out to amari hardway who is amazing my big brother shout out to my TV son, Michael Rainey Jr. I'm just so proud of him and all the players because Ghost has become the next generation for, you know, younger people to feel connected to, the college experience. So I'm happy that people are loving it. I'm just sad that I spent most of the season incarcerated, but hey, what can you do?

I was in an orange jumpsuit the whole time. I like that element of the show, and some people are the glue of a show. I can't see power without Tasha. Tasha is the through line to a lot of different stories. Thank you. It's a blessing. Honestly, I got this show when I was 29 years old, and I honestly remember just feeling like you never know most shows get canceled in a year maybe two and I got to move to Brooklyn I moved from LA

I got to buy my first home because of power I had a baby became a mother and went back to work eight weeks after a c-section on power so I just feel like became a fiance because of power became a fiance yes my tv husband got me a husband you know what are the odds um so i just think you know when people watch power i hope that they feel inspired as a woman as a black woman that you can be a brown girl and be the lead you can be sexy and beautiful and still be raw and still be hard you can be a wife a mother i just think you know coming from 30w and all that i've been through in my career i made it like you don't you don't really get the beggars can't be choosy got you you know i wonder about your mental health donatory because the character of tasha is so intense. Some would say evil at times.

How do you not take that character home with you? How do you get that out? I mean, that's interesting because I'm such an actress. Like, I mean, as far as knowing how to compartmentalize. So that's a great question, Charlamagne. I just feel like for me, I've been doing this like since I was a teenager, entertaining per se. I shut it off. It's like a little light switch. Just like when you guys know, all right, we on the radio.

Like once you hit the airwaves, you kind of know your voice, your energy has to shift. I know that when I go to work and I play this evil character, I sometimes have to, you know, really disconnect. So when I go home, I'm relieved. It's like taking off your clothes and being in a bra for 20 hours. Like I'm wearing tight corsets and sexy clothes. And then I get to come home and be in my sweats and just be me. And I come home and she's just like, mommy. So being a mother honestly helps you shift. Cause I know I have to go into mommy mode. No. Listen in real life, right? Would you go to jail for your child? If your child did something and you'll take the of course i would i would take a bullet for my child i will go to jail i'm also in real life

a little g i'm a little gangster you know i've had some people that i wanted to you know pull up on uh you know i had a couple people uh uh named a, I can't even remember his name, but we'll just say that I know how to disconnect and be cool. But in real life, I would definitely take an L. Not a gun, I'm just saying. I had a few situations where I wanted to pull up. And, you know, recently there was an interview that I just felt like, okay, I might have to call somebody to pull up on what's his name.

But, you know, it's just, I guess it's a thing for people to say that they've been with me is apparently like. This was him making on Drink Champs. And remember he said oh young berg young berg young berg yeah i remember that his name i forgot i did speak to notaria about it she was like it's not even true so i don't know why he would say that it was the craziest thing so y'all never had nothing you never went on a date or nothing you just came out of the blue with that so envy i was 15 16 when i was in 30w i don't know what kind of date i mean group activities i remember we all lived in la and archdome maybe you know we all hung out in

groups but i didn't even i wasn't even doing dates but let alone active i mean that took a lot for me not to to come on here and be like really that? That's why a week later, wasn't there like an apology or something? Yeah. He apologized. He was on lip service. He apologized for saying that. But, hey, maybe it's a compliment. I was like, everybody was like, yeah, they want to, you know,

people want to get with Tasha. And I was like, okay, I get it. You know, poor baby. So let's put it in the power world. If this was the power world, who would have killed Young Bird? Tariq, Tommy, Ghost? Tariq for sure.

Tariq for sure, disrespecting his mother. You know, he don't play that. Ghost would have got him just off the strength of trying to be like, oh, you've been with my wife. You know, he killed what's his name? I can't remember. Brandon Victor Dixon. My lawyer. He killed him.

Not because of jealousy, because of power. Sometimes it's just about power and disrespect. You don't respect? No, it's disrespect for that you cheated with Silver and don't even remember his name. I mean, it was three seasons ago, Charlamagne. I can't remember everybody out of

that type of stuff. Now, that doesn't sound good. I'm like, wait a minute. I can't remember everybody I had a relationship with. You know, that's in the show. In real life, I'm very, very particular about who I give the goodies to. Did Berg ever reach out to you and be like, I apologize. I was wild and I was drunk. No, he should.

He deserves. You deserve that. I mean, I didn't even. Yeah, it's cool. I don't even have his Nah, he should. He deserves. He deserves. You deserve that. I mean, I didn't even, yeah, it's cool. I don't even have his number and he don't have mine. How was it working with Mary J. Blige and Method Man? I saw you had your scene with Mary J. Blige in the finale. Was it the finale? Yeah, it was.

It was. That was our first scene. So how was that on set? I love working with Method Man. I didn't get to work with Mary as much as I wanted to, but we had that one scene. So how was that one set? I love working with Method Man. I didn't get to work with Mary as much as I wanted to, but we had that one scene in the season finale. And I was just like, oh my gosh, I'm standing next to the queen. Like I was, I was inspired. Method Man is like a big brother now to me. We actually, he actually jumped on one of my songs. He did, we did a song together and I'm so excited because Method is so dope.

He's just so talented. And as an actor, he is so focused. I just want to say working with him has been amazing. Working with Mary has been great too, but we just only had that one scene. I'm not going to lie. I was a little nervous at first. I came in and I was like, oh, you know, I thought she was about to hit me. But then I was like, oh, wow.

You know, she's on the show that I created a platform for. I helped be the foundation. And now, you know, someone like Mary J. wants to be in power. And she I remember meeting her. She was like, oh, Tasha's my chick. Like, I love Tasha. You represent for the streets and i just appreciate her love her love and support and method man too he's that's my heart all right

we got more with notorio when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're kicking in with notorio norton yee let's get back to this album, though, because you mentioned Method Man hopped on a song. So what's going on with music? Because I know you've been working on this for a while now. Yes. So I was in, you know, been in New York, was in Atlanta actually right when COVID

hit, like working with Troy Taylor. I was working with a producer here, Lamont Coleman. I'm just excited. You know, I got a song with Ro James, a song with Ro Timmy, a song with Method, and shout out to Ro Timmy. I'm just excited. I got a song with Ro James, a song with Timmy, a song with Method. And shout out to Ro Timmy. He also just got engaged. And we've known each other for years in Jersey. So we go way back. So for me, music is my first love. But it's also been a little bit of a sore spot for me getting back into the music business. envy you know me since i was a teenager and coming into the music game it was it was different back then so right now i'm pouring in

the heartbreak of you know being on my own as a mother uh but also the joy and the love that i've found in my life so my music is my therapy right now i can't wait i'm excited i can't wait to get that 3lw reunion on your album that's gonna be amazing i can't wait to get that 3LW reunion on your album. That's going to be amazing. I can't wait. Is that going to happen? He tried to bait you into saying something. Team Tasha, that's all it's about right now and beyond. Because I could never, like in so much stuff, I'm sure people see on Instagram,

so much things have happened that have really solidified that there will never be that but i do respect adrian you know she had apologized on her show uh the real like a few years ago and we pieced it up and i have no issues with her i think the other girl i just wish her the best. There needs to be healing between y'all two. Why does it seem that she's so bitter about your success and happiness? That's such a good question, Charlamagne. You should ask her. I wonder the same thing sometimes. I think you just have to release that energy because truly when people don't know how to deal with, you know, a light and your light, you almost have to just wish them well.

Now, what if what if Keely Williams does a diss record towards you produced by Hitmaker? Shut up, man. Shut up. That is hilarious. That's actually funny. I'm just telling you, be prepared. Be prepared for any. I actually want to hear that. Yeah, no, that's that's actually funny. I'm just telling you, be prepared. Be prepared for any fall. I actually want to hear that. Yeah, no, that's actually a good idea. Maybe that will revive something in her career.

I don't know. Wow. You know? Wow. She got the serious face, too. Healing, Tori. Healing. You want healing.

I'm all about the healing. I just think, you know, that could be a comeback story. Good luck. And for you, just moving on and being successful, I think, could be a comeback story. Good luck. And for Naturia, for you, just moving on and being successful, I think, is healing enough. Amen. But I want people to know it's real out here. Some people will talk about you.

Some people will hate on you. Some people will lie on you and your thing. But you have to be able to address that and keep moving. If I was a weak person, I wouldn't be able to rebound and bounce back. So I think of it as not shade, but a testimony. Because people need to know you can recover and keep going.

While you've been filming for stars all this time, have you had to turn down other opportunities? Yeah, a lot, actually, because I'm such an integral part of the show, particularly in power. There were certain, you know, I was offered to sing the national anthem, actually, for the Golden State Warriors for their opening game. Like, who was that? Before, obviously, before COVID and nobody could really do anything. This was like two seasons ago, two years ago. I was so excited I was going to do it. But then power changed the date and we had a table read and I couldn't go.

I couldn't fly to California. Sometimes when you get the dream, you also have to recognize that with the dream comes sacrifice. So I couldn't just go off and shoot everything. You know, some things I was able to do, but honestly, this has been my focus in my life for the past seven years. And I'm okay with that because it's changed my life dramatically and my bank account.

I'm okay. Is that how I'm going to be independent? I think so. But I'm really just focusing on getting the right music and the right, you know, team and just pouring. I'm writing a lot of the songs as well, co-writing, and just figuring out what I want the tone to be. Let me ask you, TV Mama Tasha, who do you think is the best girl for Tariq? Lauren, Diana, or Effie?

Effie. Really? Yeah. I love Effie. And maybe I'm just connected to the journey. She's bad, but she's good, because she's the only one who truly is seeking to understand the depth of him, even the painful parts. Everybody wants the piece of Tariq

that they think is what is going to be good for them. But Effie feels a little, I mean, closer to what I would say Tasha was for Ghost because they both know what it means to be in this world and to be criminal and to have killed and to have lied and to have sold drugs they both understand it diana even though she's in the drug family she ain't really she don't do nothing like she's not actually out here like getting it and i think effie is the one that's going to be his partner in crime and i think she's going to be the one in the end that really protects him and has his back. That sounds like trauma bonding to me, Notorious. You know what? You know, it's interesting because Tasha and Tariq do have a lot of trauma bonding.

Like, you know, Tasha helped her son kill. I mean, when I read that script, I was like, really? But it's so good. Like, the writing is so good that I can't even say that it doesn't make sense. It's so justifiable because of the pain of that family. So I think F he is the best one for him. Now,

did I say she's the most functional? Like, you know, is she just, I don't know about that, but she will be a ride it out. Cause you need somebody that's going, that's going to lead you away from a life of crime.

That's why, that's why I hated the Tasha character for a second. Cause I'm like, why she don't, why she won't let ghosts get away from a life of crime. That's why I hated the Tasha character for a second. Because I'm like, why she won't let Ghost get out of this life of crime? Get out of the game. I know. I know. Yeah, but, you know, what did you say, Angela? He was also cheating on her and had a whole other relationship that he was planning to leave her.

Yeah, but what that got to do with her keeping him in a life of crime? I think it's hard for you to want to do those things if you're not doing it together. It was kind of like he was leaving, but leaving her behind. Exactly. So the difference is Tasha was afraid that Ghost was going to abandon their connection, abandon their relationship. She wanted him to stay in, not because she necessarily wanted him to get in trouble and die and be in a crime, but it's because that was the fabric of their relationship, their love.

But I just think something about that dynamic is what made the show so special. All right, Natasha. Natasha Knighton. You know what? Don't confuse people. No, say my name right. I'm going to come through this Zoom right now

and take off your bucket hat and see if you got cut. Definitely got no cut under there, I'm sure. He ain't got no cut. That's why he got this Zoom right now. I'm sorry, Victoria. And take off your bucket hat and see if you got cut. Definitely got no cut under there, I'm sure. He ain't got no cut. That's why he got this bucket hat on. You're absolutely right. You want to talk about trauma?

Let me take this hat off and let y'all see this hat. I know, man. That's trauma. That's trauma. Hold on, hold on. I'm going to take it off and cry like you did

when you took the wig off. Hold on. Yes, when I took... You know, but see, I can laugh at myself at the end of the day when all that stuff about my hair. I mean, I really don't care because this is the happiest I've ever been in my life.

I can tell you are glowing. Thank you. You are glowing. You know, I ain't pregnant, though. It's not that kind of glow. So don't let people go out there and be like, she glowing, she got a baby on the way. You know how they do.

But I think it's so interesting just to be happy, man. Does something just roll off? I feel like Aaliyah right now. It's all good. Just dust yourself off. And I'm going to just keep going and keep living and keep being happy. You're a great person in real life. So, well, just congratulations on everything.

Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

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

Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best

and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before listen to on purpose with jay shetty on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts okay i'm not gonna offer y'all nothing again and that's on crip and slime okay you guys i'm not offering y'all nothing i offered the bodies brothers breakfast and they told me no i wouldn't want no breakfast my gang member i'm not offering y'all nothing. I offered to buy these brothers breakfast, and they told me no.

I wouldn't want no breakfast from a gang member either. I'm not a gang member, sir. So why you keep saying on blonde, on clip, on slime, and all that other stuff? I'm just playing one on the radio this morning. I've been listening to too much young music. That's what happened. My goodness. All right, well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Tom Cruise.

It's about time. We're starting now. Rumor report. Rumor report. This is the rumor report. Talk to him. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Now, Tom Cruise got too much goddamn money.

I'm going to tell you why. Now, he was on the set of Mission Impossible, and as they were filming, he noticed that some of the crew members allegedly didn't have masks on, and he wilded out. Do you remember that audio? I do remember that. Play it. I'm on the phone with every studio at night. Insurance companies, producers, and they're looking at us and using us to make their movies.

We are creating thousands of jobs. I don't ever want to see it again. And if you don't do it, you're fired. And I see you do it again, you're gone. Wow. Well, what he did was he purchased two, two state-of-the-art robots to ensure the safety of the cast. What the hell, he just sell robots? I don't know where he gets these robots from. But he has robots that pretty much walk around the set and make sure people are wearing their masks.

They have cameras tied to them and making sure everybody is following the safety protocols. I like this. You like that? Uh-huh. How the hell do you just buy two robots? I don't know. I like this. You like that? Uh-huh. How the hell do you just buy two robots? I don't know. I don't trust Tom Cruise. I don't trust any old white man with a face that's smooth.

He's 76 years old, and his skin is still smooth as a baby's bottom, and he's not black. I don't trust him. I bet you if I search YouTube, I can find a video where they say he eats pizza with baby toppings or something like that. I don't know about that. Now, Jim Jones, he recalls preventing Trey's songs from getting dropped. He said they were

about to drop Trey's songs and Who was about to drop Trey's songs? Warner Music Group. And Jim Jones allegedly saved him from being dropped. I definitely hope Trey's songs were his success in his very beginning stage. That kind of saved his career. He was actually on the chopping block

at the label. I guess it was Atlantic at that time when I was working at Warner Music Group and saw Trey at one of the Warner Music Group music conventions when we was like in Bahamas or something and Kevin Lyle was like, we're about to cut this young man because we don't know what to do with him. And I was like,

that's fire. You don't need to cut him. You need to invest in him and put some steam behind him. Now look, Kevin L't need to cut him. You need to invest in him. Put some steam behind him. Kevin Latt ended up managing him. Let me tell y'all something. Drop on the clues bomb for Jim Jones. Jim Jones don't get enough credit for his ear. I've said behind

the scenes and group chat conversations, my man Hovind can vouch for this. I've said when it comes to New York City for maybe the past three years, nobody has been making better've said when it comes to New York City for maybe the past three years, nobody has been making better music than Jim Jones out of New York City. Jim makes a lot of dope music, and he has a great air. Yes. When it came to Max B, Stack Bundles.

Max B, Stack Bundles. Absolutely, man. And a host of others. We don't. Trey. People need to be leaning on Jim more for his air and his eye. You know, Jim direct direct videos and stuff too People need to be leaning on Jim Moore

For his sound, for his ear, for his eye He got a really really good eye for talent He wasn't an an-offer one back in the day Why he not in a building now? He should be president of a label Or something There's not too many buildings open right now But he's doing quarantine

Studios where he's giving artists a chance to get heard, and he's dealing with a lot of producers and a lot of artists, and he's actually doing it on the Zap Life app that we had a while ago. So shout to Jim Jones. Salute to Coppo. You get all the flowers, King. We don't give Jim Jones enough

flowers, man. You know what, too? He sent me a record. Nah, I can't even play. He told me I shouldn't even have it. But anyway, he got some dope music coming out in a little bit, so shout out to Jim Jones. Now, Cardi B is set to make her leading role debut in a new movie. It's called Assisted Living. You excited about that?

I am. Let me tell you about it. She's playing the role of Amber, a small-time criminal who is on the run from police. She's out of places to hide, so she ends up disguising herself as an elderly woman in her grandmother's nursing home. That's exactly where she needs to be. I never saw Bardi doing

music long. You know what I mean? She's not an artist I expect to hear an album from every year. She needs to be on TV. She needs to be in movies. Yes. That's exactly what she needs to be doing. And y'all might laugh at me, but I see Cardi B playing her old grandmother, like, in character. You're already laughing.

Funny. I think that's going to be hilarious. You're already laughing. Absolutely. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Now, Charlamagne. Yes.

Who are you giving that donkey to? I'm going to be honest with you, man. I think I need to give donkey of the day to myself this morning, man. You know what I'm saying? I really do. I feel stupid because all morning I've been in here, you know, su-wooing and brrrattingting and saying on Crip and all kind of other stuff.

And I just, it's only because of the music that I was listening to this morning. And I just feel like I'm too old to still be influenced by music. And I really think my old ass needs a hee-haw. Yeah, I agree. And I think we should take you to Breakfast Club Court. The way that you're sounding, the way that you're talking. I think in a second you're going to start crip walking. No.

You're going to start strolling. No. You're going to start saying ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. No, no. You're going to say ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, and all that. It's just nuts because I meditated before I left the house, so I don't even know how this ratchet-ass spirit got into me this morning. But I just feel like I need to come to the front of the congregation this morning.

I really do because I'm too old to still be influenced by music in this way. But I just I need to talk about it. I need to get it out. I got therapy at 3pm but you know y'all are my therapists right now. I just need to get this out. Cause I can't be alone on this. I can't be alone on this. Let's get it out on Crip. On Crip? On Slime Slime? You know what I'm saying?

What are you doing man? What you mean? I stay ready. Now he got a ski mask. He got a ski mask. This guy is crazy, man. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

All right. Donkey of the Day up next. I'm sorry, guys. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You get Donkey of the Day. Yeah, you got ass. You get Donkey of the Day.

Yeah, you got ass. You are a donkey. It's time get donkey of the day. Donkey of the day. Donkey of the day. 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 waiting for Charlamagne to tap these 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. This is a breakfast club, bitches. Yeah, put it out. Donkey of the day today. What? Donkey of the day for Friday, January 15th goes to me, okay? Lenard McKelvey, a.k.a. Charlemagne the God. I'm gonna tell you

why. Now I'm a good God-fearing man with a criminal mind state, okay? Grew up on a dirt road in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. Mom was a Jehovah Witness English teacher. My father was an entrepreneur. Did everything from owning a fish market to construction to selling narcotics. It is what it is. It was what it was. My mother kept a book in my face. I read everything from owning a fish market to construction to selling narcotics. It is what it is. It was what it was. My mother kept a book in my face.

I read everything from my book of Bible stories to Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret. Side note, Judy Blume sent me and my oldest daughter an autographed copy of Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret. Drop on the clues box for Judy Blume. Bro, you can't shout that out with a mask. Yo, relax. Yo, relax, son.

All right. Okay? She signed it to Charlemagne. And in parentheses, Lenard, love you from your fan, Judy Blume mask. Yo, relax. Yo, relax, son. Okay. She signed it to Charlemagne and in parentheses Lenard, love you from your fan, Judy Bloom. Thank you, Judy. Also, side note to a side note. I ordered some penis enlargement pills and I've been taking them and I've been chanting

I must, I must, I must increase my thrust. I explained it on this week's Brilliant Idiots podcast. Go listen. Now, what's my point here? My point here is that I come from the dirt all right south carolina 843 all day that is always in me therefore i will always love the ratchetness of life even at 42 years old married with three kids and a receding hairline i love ratchetness i still do hood rat things with my friends we just do it at our houses or on vacation when the kids go to

sleep but the reason i'm giving myself donkey of the day is because this morning, when I was here by myself, I was talking about the domestic terrorists that, you know, hit the Capitol, you know, vanilla ISIS, and I was still on a high after listening to all these good country rap tunes this morning on Tidal, and I feel stupid. Just listen to how I've been sounding this morning. I've talked my way out of enough home invasions to know when something is a setup, okay?

I don't even know who to trust in government anymore, but I know who I do trust. And that's no damn body, okay? Period. And for some reason, I started to say, and that's on Crip, but I'm not a Crip, so I don't even know why the hell I would even say something like that. All right, salute to all the gangs out there. I'm driving in this morning. I heard you shout out all the gangs. I don't know why I said that. I'm not a Crip, so I don't even know why the hell I would even say something like that. All right, salute to all the gangs out there. I'm driving in this morning. I heard you shout out all the gangs. I don't know why I said that.

I'm going to be honest with you. You know how somebody be talking like, that's on Crip. And then I had to think about it. Like, I ain't even know Crip. Why am I saying that? I'm walking in. Salute to all the gangs, though. Mello, I don't know what's going on up here, though.

Mello. Yo. Su-woo. What's up? What's up, man? We held it down for the morning while everybody wasn't there, man. It's about time. I appreciate that, Slime.

It's about time. I don't know who died and made you 6'9", but you better stop. I don't know who died and made me 6'9". He's a mellow. There's quite a few problems with all those statements. Number one, I don't gangbang. Never have in my life. I'm not a crip, not a blood either.

I'm nothing. I'm a man who has therapy today at 3 p.m. I'm a man who is scared to order a protein shake from around the corner here in Tribeca because I feel like they keep giving me whole milk and not almond milk and I don't have time to spend hours on the toilet today and I get dairy bumps. My point with saying all of this and the

reason I'm giving myself donkey of the day is because I just feel stupid and donkey of the day is all about giving people the credit they deserve for being stupid. If you read my first book the New York Times best-selling black privilege and you know, one of my laws in my book was always give people the credit they deserve for being stupid, including yourself. And that's what I'm doing right now. The reason I feel stupid is because I was writing in the work this morning, listening to the new South playlist on title, bro. There is some records on there that make my inner

child smile. I mean, there are records on there that make the hood diggin' in me happy. Okay, I'm from South Carolina, the 843-803-864. When you come from a certain environment, there is a certain energy that is always in you, and when you listen to certain music, certain music is so powerful, and it will just have you feeling like

you're something you're not. Okay, that's what Pooh Shiesty guard up did for me, okay? Play Pooh Shiesty guard up. let me hear a little bit of that man come on dig up plaid gold teeth so i can put them in my mouth okay that's what off the porch by by Key Glock did for me this morning. I was listening to Roaring Twenties by Flo Millie

and then my dog, little boss from North Charleston, South Carolina, he's on the new subtitle playlist and he's got a song called I Know It. He's from the same state as me. He's from the Chuck. How can I not be influenced? Okay? How can I not be? You know what I feel like right now?

I'm at the point where I'm like AWACS on Minister Society. Salute to the good brother, MC8. Make sure y'all check out that Gangsta Chronicles podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio network. I'm like AWACS. I done did so much dirt that I just like to see other people do it. I like to hear it. I like to feel it. I like to see it.

But I'm not doing it. Envy, you don't ever hear certain records and it takes you back to your old wild out days? Yes. So I'm not alone here then? Yeah, you are a little bit alone. What do you mean? Why? Why?

Why am I alone? Because you have a ski mask on and you've been saying on slime. Yo, you judging me, slime? See? On God. Then why you pointing a gun at me? A fake gun. You're right.

Let me put that away. Say what's wrong with him? I'm just saying it really makes you think about the influence this music is having on the youth because it influenced my big grown ass this morning. But not because they might rap about violence or doing criminal activities or gang stuff, but because it's fun. It's just fun.

I mean, listen to these country rap tunes. Play some of that Key Glock off the porch. Just listen to this. Hey, I jumped off the porch, then I jumped in the roof. I used to ride 10 speeds, now I got a new coupe. I'm young, I'm humble humble But I play it all cool But don't think of this shit I ain't my approach on the news

We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, Charlamagne came to work this morning a little, um... Under the influence.

Yeah, under the influence. Under the influence of country rap tunes, okay? I deserve to be in Breakfast Club Court this morning. I feel stupid. I've been in here gangbanging on the radio, and I just feel like I'm too old to still be influenced by music. I promise you, it literally was

the New South playlist on Tidal. Listening to stuff like Key Glock off the porch and my man Lil Boss, I know it, and, you know, Poo Shiesty guard up. It really, really, really, really took me to a place that I absolutely enjoy. Yeah, so we're asking, Charlamagne, are we all too old to be influenced by music right now? I don't think so, bro. You know what I'm saying?

I really don't. And I have no reason for saying that other than I just really enjoy it. All right, well, let's go to the phone lines and take Charlamagne's breakfast. Are we going through a midlife crisis? Huh? Are we going through a midlife crisis? I don't think so. You still have, you know, like Charlamagne, you have a ski mask on.

Yo, Sam. Drinking Starbucks. Like, what is that? It's called balance. Is that a bougie gangster? Like, what are you? It's called balance. Balance.

You think gangbangers don't need caffeine? I don't know. You need energy to do a drive-by or two. Okay. You think I just put money on people's head without, you know, a little latte? Okay. Hello, who's this? This is Regina.

Hey, Regina. You know your boys up here with a ski mask on drinking a latte. I love it. With a pinky in the air. It's a little weird. Talk to me, Regina. I love it. We have to, listen, we have to do, I'm 43.

I'm from Jacksonville, Florida. I'll be in my car and sometimes I'll be a thug. I can be a thug. I can be a sweetheart. Charlamagne keeps doing it. Thank you, baby. That's what I'm talking about.

Jackie killed Florida. Hello, who's this? This guy's crazy. Hey, John. Where you calling from? I'm calling from Florida. You know what? this? This guy's crazy. It's John. Hey, John. Where you calling from? I'm calling from Florida. Yeah, you know what?

I don't think it's a good thing when you got a bunch of Florida people looking down on you. John, John Charlemagne has a ski mask on right now. He's drinking a latte with his pinky in the finger. It's not a latte. It's a green tea with pinky, sir. I don't know what he wants to do with that pinky. I don't know.

But you think his ass is too old for all this? Man, sit your old ass down somewhere, man. How old are you, sir? I'm 33. Oh, you're 33. Okay. So you still can live out your, you're still living out your old wild out days.

You're still cheating on your girl. I did that when I was 20. I got arrested four times in one year. Congratulations. What was the biggest charge? The biggest one was a home invasion. What music were you listening to when you did that Home Invasion? I'm from Florida, man.

I listen to all kinds of stuff, man. You know, I don't even know Ply's. Okay. I don't even know everything. Probably Kodak. No, that was a while ago. That was a while ago? All right.

Kodak was in middle school back then. But you got your life together now. Yeah, definitely, definitely, man. Since the old days. You got a family, man. You're right. Boy, brother, thank you. You know what? You take this guy. When you say that, your old ass down. You got a family, man. You're right. My brother, thank you. You know what?

You take this guy. When you say that, once you add that, you got a family, that's like when a gangbanger say, oh, God in them, he going to do something to you. Once somebody tell you, sit your old ass down, you got a family, that's when you get back to reality. He right. Hello, who's this?

Christian out of Philly. Hey, Christian out of Philly. Good morning, Christian. Now, Charlamagne, is his ass too old to be wiling out to this music? No, hell no. That's what you're supposed to be doing. Listen, it's balance in life. It's the yang and the yang.

It's the drug dealer and the professional. Because every morning, I'm listening to King Vine. I'm from Philly, and I'm not from 63rd. I do that every morning. And then I do my professional 9 to 5. And when I come home, it's Dexter Jackson and Sullivan and all of that. So you need balance. It's about balance.

I agree with you. Ratchetness and righteousness is the yin and the yang of life. Right, exactly. I'm with you. It's about code switching. We code switch with music, too. I'm with you. You need that.

Because I did the same thing. I woke up this morning. I meditated. I had my beads in my hand. I was doing my mantras. And then I'm going to therapy at 3 o'clock. But when I was driving into work, it was them country rap tunes, bro. Listen, we moving weight.

We are moving weight. That's how I felt. Oh, my goodness. I really felt like that. We moved the brick all up and down 95. We doing it. We doing it. Okay.

We got our 401ks in place. We are professionals. We have our parents. We have our PTA. They love us. But we turned up. That's what you got to do. I'm with you.

Let's go. You sell drugs in to do. I'm with you. Let's go. You sell drugs in the morning. I'm not having a little bit of gray hair from me doing it and busting it. That's right.

Hey, morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. I'm going to be honest with you. I ain't caught my breath since the goddamn 805. Yeah, I was drinking a lot of water. Lord have mercy. Now, I just want to read a comment before we get to the rumors.

Now, this is from Tutti Frutti, right? Tutti Frutti said, listening to The Breakfast Club while being admitted to the hospital due to coronavirus. Thanks for lifting my spirits. Corona is a bitch, so please stay safe, guys. DJ Envy, please stay safe when you go to Atlanta for DJing. Yeah, I'm going to be in Atlanta.

I'm actually going to be at BQE, one of my favorite restaurants, tomorrow, and then Sweet. And then he says, please stay safe. Angela Yee, I know you're going out of town. Stay safe. Charlemagne, you're not too old for a gangbang.

Boy, shut up. You made that up. What did he say? Ain't no way in hell a man, somebody named Tutti Frutti, said I'm not too old for a gangbang. Did he say that? You're not too old for a gangbang. First of all, I want to tell you something.

For anybody that's just joining us this morning, I ain't got time to explain what that even means. All right? I do feel that way, though, because you know what? What? You feel like a gangbang? No, no, no. When we played the little boss

and, you know, he says, I got the scrap on me, but I was talking to Taylor, our producer, and I said, I got the scrap on, on me.

Put one, too many on. What is wrong with you? Should have just been one on. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk new music. This guy's crazy. She's spilling the tea.

This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Alright, well it's Friday, so it's New Music Friday, so let's get into it. I thought we just did a bunch of new music. Well, here's some more new music. The second generation of Woo, you know who that is? No. Old Dirty Bastard's

Son, Method Man's Son, Ghostface Killer's Son, and You God's Son released an album today. What's it called? It's called Hereditary. Oh, drop on the clues bomb for them young brothers. I'm listening to that today then. First of all, I love the concept. Wu-Tang is truly forever.

And the fact that all of the kids of Wu-Tang members are working together, that's dope. It's not the same, but similar to when my favorite MC of all time, Ghostface, says, my seeds rolled, his seeds married, his seeds. That's how we keep Wu-Tang money all up in the family. Well, let's hear a little bit of it. This is from the Isles of Staten, and this is Ghostface's son, Sun God, and Mef's son,

Power. You was on a straight path, I tied up in frisk-cross. Frisk-cross. It's timeless, till I gang to rewind this You lack in your mind, and that's why I'm meeting the grip In the trenches with gorillas, might as well they be the drillers It's timeless, tell a gang to rewind this King Toka, they call me your highness. Only smoke the finest.

But I'm off the vibe. I got your baby in the studio. Calling me Dada. See, I'm a Wu-Tang fanatic. Remember a couple years ago, I was asking y'all if I'm too old to get. A Wu-Tang tattoo? I just wanted to. I'll go get the little W like Meph got on the hand.

I just love Wu-Tang. You know what I'm saying? I feel like Wu-Tang provided a lot of the soundtrack to my life. I love Wu-Tang. It's truly forever. They really are. Well, Young Thug and Juice WRLD released a single. It's called Bad Boy.

And the only reason I'm playing this is, you know, my son's favorite artist is Juice WRLD. So let's hear it. of my bag, boy. Don't think it's sweet. I stay with the heat even though I'm a sad boy. You better watch the way you get around me for that birthday last, boy. I've been drinking red reds, boy. I've been chopping all these birds, McCoy.

Okay. No one made my rich in the middle of nine months. Overseas, I'm a skim, crust-sized. All right. Okay.

Rest in peace, Juice WRLD, man. Such a life cut too short. Absolutely. He came to the Breakfast Club. I forgot what year Juice WRLD, man. Such a life cut too short. Absolutely. He came to the Breakfast Club. I forgot what year Juice WRLD came to the Breakfast Club. You know, they used a clip of his interview on Lil Dicky's show, Dave. Oh, yeah? When he was up here.

Really? Yeah. They used the part when we was talking about mental health, and I think when I hugged him. Yeah? I was trying to get him and his boys to hug. And the crazy, the irony of that, I was trying to get him and his boys to hug. And the crazy, the irony of that, I was trying to get him and his boys to hug because I was saying

life is very short. So, you know, you got to tell your people that you love them, you value them, and you appreciate them. Okay. And then he passed.

Yeah. All right. Well, the baby released a new single. It's called Masterpiece. Stop. Notice how it looks in your eye. Let's go.

It's the mix yesterday. Yesterday was their birthday, so we're going to ride for them today. I don't know what you're talking about.

Gang, gang! Stop lying to people. They're on to you. No, they're not. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are the Breakfast Club. We got some special guests on the line. First, Attorney Benjamin Crump, who calls all the time, friend to the room. We appreciate you for always checking in and helping the community. Now, today, what do we have going on today, Attorney Benjamin Crum? When you call, it's always we're doing something. What's going on today, brother? Hey, Envy, happy New Year, King.

Thank you all so much for always answering the call. I have two special people. Keon Harrell Sr., who most of you all got to see in a fortunate video of the Arlo Hotel where his 14-year-old son was racially profiled and falsely accused by this Maya Ponsetto, also known as Soho Karen, over stealing his cell phone and we have his uh mother kat rodriguez both of them are musicians uh cat play with beyonce's band kian is a grammy award winning jazz musician and they are good strong black parents and so that's what we're talking about how to make sure people are not allowed to racially profile and falsely accuse our children and then have it swept under the rug. For people that don't know what happened that day, I know a lot of people seen the video, so they seen what happened. So just break down what happened, because, of course, the video only shows a little bit of what happened that day. What happened was my son and I had been up all night. It was the

day after Christmas. Late in the afternoon, me and my son are just hungry. We just want to get something to eat. So around 2.30, 2.45, we're like, okay, let's just go down and just get some brunch. So we go downstairs, come out of the elevator, and before I know it, this lady is screaming at my son and she locks eyes on him and just decides that he is the person who stole her cell phone. So basically, I'm telling her, I'm telling the management, listen, we don't have your cell phone. My son doesn't need your cell phone.

And that's how it all started. Chris Rock actually stole the cell phone. My son doesn't need your cell phone. And that's how it all started. Chris Rock actually stole the cell phone. He admitted to it. So has she apologized since Chris came out and said it was him? No. No. No, she's still saying that she got off the plane and told the reporter that he stole. He still has it.

How did management handle this? Because management did get involved. Management, that was a debacle. First of all, you can hear me talking to the management and telling Chad, listen, you are disrespecting me. You're disrespecting my son. My son is a black child. When you're asking my son to turn over his cell phone and show his cell phone, you are essentially telling him, you know what, hey boy, let me see your papers. We know there's a big history and for 400 years of us having to show our papers and prove that we belong in certain establishments. Me, green is king. I'm paying my money. i'm there for three weeks and this person's not even a guest who's giving

precedent over me um the problem with black people sometimes we don't get a chance to be heard they don't want to hear our words correct um i spoke as clearly as i possibly can or possibly could to the management and her um the reason why i posted the video is because they did not listen. I showed this video to the management. I showed this video to the enforcement. I thought it was appalling. And clearly everybody else did too, but they didn't. What's the name of the hotel? I want to constantly

keep saying their name because I want to keep pressure on them. The Arlo Hotel owned by Prothrom Hospitality LLC. They have these hotels across America, about 11 of them, high quality, a little bit on the expensive side. And the fact that they feel that it's okay to racially profile black people, we have to send a message. message because individual acts of racism are empowered by institutions like police and corporations. And we have to say no more Arlo. So we're asking everybody to sign this petition just as for Keon.org because we want to set a precedence that they're equally responsible.

And I know Kat has been saying that from the beginning. Kat, I wish you was there, Kat. Kat, what were you thinking when you saw that video, Kat? What was your frame of mind when you seen that video? Because you weren't there, correct? I was not there. I was called right after. My frame of mind is it would have ended up totally different.

She needed hands and feet put on her. And I know when you saw her talking to Gayle King and she was like, enough. I know you wanted some of that smoke. But listen, I'm from Brooklyn. I'm from Crown Heights. Okay. And I would have handled it differently.

And God knows that now looking back, we reflect the thing God, he handled it how he did because the story would have been flipped, right? A black man attacked a white woman just because she, it would have been a different storyline, right? If I would have done what she did, if I would have been there, all of a sudden it would have been a Remy Ma case, right? Oh, wow.

Kat would have dragged up and down Fifth Avenue. No, she said Remy Ma. That's a different level. We're not even going to say what that is. But that's the truth. When it comes to your baby... Absolutely. You black out.

But how is your son right now? Because, I mean, I could imagine being traumatized. You walk downstairs with your dad, and all of a sudden there's a lady pointing at you, the hotel management's pointing at you, and she's trying to attack to grab the phone. How is he feeling? How is his mind frame right now?

Like, I went to hug him, and I play around with my son. I'm an only child. My son is an only child, so we have a really close bond. I have siblings, so our bond, I'm stern, but we hang. And I went to play with him and touch him from the back, and I went to grab him, and he was like, I've never seen him just cringe like. And he just stood there.

And I'm like, you okay? And he was like, no, don't touch me from the back. Because she, if you see the video, she blindsided him from the back. And so that in itself, he goes to bed in the night. And you can see there's a quiet, like he just, he withdraws. So definitely, it's not okay. He shouldn't have to not look at his phone. He's 14. You know, a kid that was always on YouTube or listening to you guys on podcast, you know, he doesn't want to hear it because everything is about this or the Capitol, which shows that America doesn't value us.

So how does he feel as a 14-year-old knowing that he's going to have to deal with this for the rest of his life? Just imagine if you wouldn't have filmed that, that a case like this would have never even been brought to the forefront. And things like this are happening all the time and people just don't know about it. And then how would your son feel if there's no chance for justice at all? And then you're supposed to just go about your day after. Right. And that's what is typically expected to happen. And that's what does happen.

It's happening right now somewhere. Fortunately, I caught this on video and this person went on CNN and said, I attacked her. And this is after the fact that the video was already viral. This just says to me, it's a pretense of innocence that I can do whatever I want to do. Get away with it. I mean, we didn't even really talk about the idea that after the manager was basically deputized by this person who was from the street, he believed her, that activated this racist system.

What if the phone wasn't found because the Uber never brought it back? Right. The Arlo Hotel made it possible for this woman that now is saying that she has anxiety issues to police their hotel. Right. You said the Uber bought her phone back?

The Uber brought her phone back. So how the hell is she still saying that the phone stole it? No, she said the hotel had her phone. The manager told me that Uber brought her phone back. And she's still continually saying that my son somehow magically got it. And that's why I shout out to Chris Rock. So if you want to sign the petition, please text K-E-Y-O-N, like the key that's on, to 55156.

This is KEYON, y'all. He wanted to say hi because he really... Nice to talk to you. What's up, Young King? How are you guys? I just want to say thank you for the present that you got.
